Zoran Djordjević, Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs: Further Implementation of Measures and Reforms
Jelena Jovičić
The Ministry's plans for 2019 are closely related to the resolution of the aforementioned issues in regard to social inclusion of citizens and families who are faced with difficulties in exercising their basic existential rights.
We will intensify the work on building the capacities of social work centres and their links to the institutions that provide health care, education and employment services, as well as with the police, judicial authorities, civil society organizations and local self-governments. We will continue with investments in social care institutions that are closely related to their obligation to meet the legally defined conditions and comply with the licence obtaining standards, that is, improving the quality and not increasing the capacity of these institutions.
At the end of this year, Serbia broke another new record in reducing unemployment. How much is this a result of creating quality jobs and how much is it due to a demographic change and a part of the workforce becoming passive?
– According to the Workforce Survey's data for the third quarter of 2018, the employment rate has reached a new record for the period for which we had a comparable data series (2014-2018) and it stood at 49.2%, while the unemployment rate, in the same observed period, recorded the lowest value of 11.3%.
Based on this survey, we can conclude that, despite the decrease in the total number of persons aged 15 and over, the increase in employment and the reduction in unemployment are the result of job creation and employment.
Increased economic activities certainly had an effect on the creation of new jobs. According to the data collated by the Ministry of Economy, in the period from 2016 to October 2018, a total of 64 agreements on the allocation of incentives for investments were signed, and thanks to the projects implemented under the mentioned agreements, at least 31,090 new jobs will have been created.
Although there is a high number of unemployed and inactive persons in Serbia, companies often cite lack of quality workforce as the key limiting factor in regard to their growth. What can the Ministry do, in the scope of its authority, to satisfy this demand?
– The National Employment Service conducts an annual survey among employers in which they state the need for certain occupations, know-how and skills of the workforce. The data obtained from the survey are important for the planning and inclusion of the unemployed persons in the training process to suit the demands of the labour market.
Investing in the quality of the workforce and bolstering human resources is an investment in the future and society's prosperity. By introducing specialist training for the IT sector, a significant number of persons have been able to acquire the necessary knowledge and thereby increase their employment opportunities.
During the preparation of the National Action Plan for Employment for 2019 (which is supposed to be adopted by the year-end) the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs gave priority to additional education and training programmes. In addition to the professional practice programme, the Ministry provided an additional support to youth employment with the two new programmes to be implemented in 2019 – a trainee programme for young people with completed higher education, as well as a trainee programme for the unemployed with high school education that ought to result in unemployed persons finding employment in private sector and the compensation for the trainee wage costs.
I would especially like to underline that more funds are provided for the implementation of measures under the active employment policy in 2019 compared to 2018 (increase from RSD 3.65 billion to RSD 4 billion), while RSD 550 million was allocated for the promotion of employment of persons with disabilities.
Do you think that the new Labour Law will closely follow in the changes brought on by digitization?
– Lately, the digital revolution and the rapid development of digital technologies have led to significant changes in the work organization, changes in the labour market, the emergence of new jobs and new flexible forms of work for both highly qualified and low-skilled employees.
The Labour Law also regulates the work status and protection of employees working outside the employer's premises, which includes long distance work and work from home. These categories guarantee all employment rights, and due to the specific nature of this type of work, working hours are the subject of a special agreement in line with the work norms. This means that employees who work outside the employer's premises can work limited number of hours, have the right to rest during the day, and the right to daily, weekly and annual holidays, to which other employees are also entitled to, in accordance with the Labour Law.
I believe that it is our duty to monitor and take into consideration all aspects of the impact that digitization has on work in order to adapt legal and other regulations to new work formats with the view of protecting employees and ensuring adherence to international labour standards. This also applies to the new Labour Law which is supposed to be adopted in 2020 the earliest.
How can we maintain dignified work principles when the nature of work has been changing so drastically?
– For years, together with the International Labour Organization, trade unions and employers' associations, the Serbian government has been continuously working on planning and cooperation in the segment of dignified work. In the previous period, we implemented the "2013-2013 Dignified Work Programme in the Republic of Serbia", and by the year-end, we expect the new agreement on the 2018-2022 Dignified Work Programme to be signed.
The draft Law on Temporary Employment Agencies has been more praised than criticized, but many are concerned that the good solutions that this law contains will be erased during the public debate. What can we expect?
– A task force, comprising the relevant state authorities and organizations, social stakeholders like trade unions and employers' associations, as well as other interested associations and organizations, have been working on the draft of this law for over two years now. The draft text of the law is, for the most part, harmonized with the wishes of all society's stakeholders, apart from a handful of issues.
I don't think that we should categorize legal solutions as good or bad. What we are talking about here is representing various interests and views regarding certain legal solutions. One side might think of one legal solution as being "good", while the other might think of it as "bad" or "unfavourable".
We should keep mind that the adoption of this law is a major step towards improving the working conditions and protecting people who, in the previous period, were employed through various agencies and were treated as second-rate workers. This law, first and foremost, ensures that people who are employed through agencies have the same wages and the same working conditions, as well as that they are directly employed by the employer in question, and this is what will be upheld at all times.
It seems that the European labour legislation is moving in the direction of defining a common set of rights for all job contracts, and not having special laws governing each type of a job contract. What do you think of this?
– Apart from job contracts, labour legislation also regulates contracts that govern issues related to people who work but are not officially employed, i.e. the issues that are limited by time, duration, subject of contract or persons who can conclude it. However, working while not being officially employed is becoming an increasingly frequent practice, and there are special laws that regulate other types of contracts that are concluded beyond the scope of employment, where the legal status of workers, as a contracting party, is not clearly defined. This situation is unsustainable and it is necessary to establish minimum standards for all types of work in order to ensure dignified work for all working persons with adequate compensation, which is also guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia.
Our labour legislation is in the process of compliance with the international standards of the European Union, hence the Labour Law will have to define minimum working conditions in accordance with these standards for all types of work, and not only for officially employed persons. This relates primarily to limited working hours, daily, weekly and annual leave, protection of pregnant women and maternity leave.
Regarding the right to safety and health at work, regulations guarantee this for all workers, regardless of the type and duration of the job contract.
To what extent can Serbia apply inclusive solutions in the welfare segment?
– Social inclusion is one of the basic principles that the Ministry is guided by in drafting all strategies, laws and bylaws regulating the field of social protection.
Maternity benefits, that are of crucial importance for the poorest families, are regulated by the Law on Social Protection, while the Law on Financial Support for Families with Children is also important, as it regulates the child allowance.
The Law on Social Protection stipulates the competencies of the state and local governments in meeting the social needs of citizens. Social protection rights are exercised before and through social work centres whose experts should recognize the difficulties that a person has in fulfilling the basic existential needs and, in accordance with their assessment, instruct the user to use a certain service or to exercise a certain right. In addition to social work centres, local governments are an important factor in the realization of the social protection rights and in social inclusion of their citizens because they create the conditions for rendering support services.
Through provision of services, users are encouraged to get involved in social activities, as well as to contribute to the improvement of their own and the well-being of their family through their work or activities.
The Ministry has done a lot on development of social protection services by introducing a mechanism of special-purpose transfers through which funds from the state budget are transferred to the budgets of those local governments that govern in the areas that are below the state's development level and that are intended specifically for the development of community services. So, after the decree on special-purpose transfers was adopted, a total of RSD 400 million was transferred in 2016, another RSD 700 million in 2017, and RSD 700 million in 2018.
Considering all of the aforementioned, our focus is on increasing the availability of the right to material benefits, services and programmes from the social protection system, which be realized by the forming information links between different sectors and the introduction of a social card system, which we, in the Ministry, consider a high-level priority.
What are the Ministry's plans for 2019?
– The Ministry's plans for 2019 are closely related to the resolution of the aforementioned issues in regard to social inclusion of citizens and families who are faced with difficulties in exercising their basic existential rights.
First and foremost, we are expected to adopt a new Social Protection Development Strategy that will focus on combating the effects of poverty, taking into account the best interests of children and families, and supporting our oldest citizens and especially people with disabilities. Establishing a new strategic framework will define the directions of the development of the social protection system and the improvement of the services provided under this system.
We are also planning to adopt a Community De-institutionalization and Development Strategy, as well as a Strategy for the Prevention and Protection of Children against Violence. Preventing and combating violence against children and protecting children from violence is one of the priorities of the national policy of the Republic of Serbia. Violence against children is a phenomenon that is present in all societies, cultures and parts of the world. A number of children suffer from violence every day, and violence against children represents a gross violation of the rights of the child. This is why a new multi-annual strategic framework for the prevention and protection of children against violence has been developed, as well as an action plan for the implementation of the Strategy. Furthermore, a new, improved General Protocol for the Protection of Children against Violence has been developed and all three documents are expected to be adopted in 2019.
The Ministry will continue to actively cooperate with all relevant domestic and international organizations in order to promote children's rights through participation and support in various programmes and projects aimed at protecting and improving children's rights.
The Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Family Law is one of a series of legislative activities that we plan to work on next year, as well as the Law on Amendments to the Law on Social Protection. I also have to mention again the Social Card Law that will help different sectors to establish information links in order to improve social protection and the adequacy of the financial provisions for financially vulnerable and other vulnerable groups in the population.
The draft Law on the Children's Rights and the Children's Rights Ombudsman was also drafted. This is a law that is considered quite unique in the European legislative practice, given that a single law contains formal and legal validation of the rights of the child and the relevant mechanisms, primarily related to promoting and respecting for the rights of the child like the Children's Rights Ombudsman. With this law, Serbia will meet its international obligation before the Committee on the Rights of the Child and create the basis for further promotion and respect for the rights of the child, regardless of the fact that we have already achieved significant results in this field.
One of the challenges ahead is the introduction of a new unified work organization of social work centres using the same model of organization for all services that will be linked at the territorial level which, in turn, will ensure equal treatment in all social work centres and provide the same quality of service to end users in the entire Republic of Serbia.
We will intensify the work on building the capacities of social work centres and their links to the institutions that provide health care, education and employment services, as well as with the police, judicial authorities, civil society organizations and local self-governments.
We will continue with investments in social care institutions that are closely related to their obligation to meet the legally defined conditions and comply with the licence obtaining standards, that is, improving the quality and not increasing the capacity of these institutions.

Channel 4 Deputy Director of Programs Kelly Webb-Lamb to Depart
Naman Ramachandran
January 13, 2021, 11:44 AM ·3 min read
Kelly Webb-Lamb, U.K. broadcaster Channel 4's deputy director of programs and head of popular factual, will leave the channel later this year.
Webb-Lamb joined in 2016 and worked closely with Channel 4 director of programs Ian Katz in realizing the channel's creative strategy. She oversaw the popular factual commissioning departments responsible for over 1,000 hours of programming every year — from the launch, and continued success, of "The Great British Bake Off," "Gogglebox," "Hunted" and several other creative successes including "The Circle," which will return soon for a third season. Webb-Lamb was also instrumental in the channel's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She leaves the broadcaster in good heath, with record growth in young viewing and All 4 streaming during 2020. The main channel ended the year with linear share up 3%, share among 16-34s up 8% and All 4 viewing up 31%. Webb-Lamb exits at a time when the channel is looking to the future and shifting focus towards a digital offering.
The executive is also a diversity champion, spearheading the channel's response to the global Black Lives Matter movement with the "The Black Takeover project" — an intervention to drive sustainable change, and she will continue to oversee the project, which will launch a number of new shows across the genres, and showcase a roster of new and established Black talent on and off-screen. She will remain in her position full time until the summer, and then on a part-time basis into the fall to ensure delivery of these key projects.
Prior to Channel 4, Webb-Lamb was managing director at Shine TV, where she was responsible for BAFTA and RTS award winner "The Island with Bear Grylls" and "Hunted" for Channel 4, as well as hits for other channels including BBC One's "All Change at Longleat," "Britain's Best Bakery," "The Undriveables" and "Help! I'm Having Triplets" for ITV.
Earlier, she served as series editor of "The Apprentice."
"Channel 4 is a very special place; quite possibly the most special place in the industry," Webb-Lamb said. "There's nowhere I've worked where your staff-pass says freedom, creativity and risk quite as loudly. It is therefore very hard to leave. But after five years and a whole load of change, the channel is now in a really strong place creatively, and I am super proud of what we've achieved. So it's a good time for me to take the leap and say goodbye — new adventures are beckoning."
"Kelly has played a huge part in shaping Channel 4 over the last five years and been a wise, generous and creatively inspiring partner for the last three," said Katz. "She is one of the most formidable people I've ever worked with, as mischievous as she is ferociously clever and passionate about what Channel 4 can and should be."

A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology suggests that abdominal chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, known as intraperitoneal (IP) treatment, can increase the survival rate of women with ovarian cancer—although this treatment remains underused in the U.S.
To conduct the study, researchers studied the use of IP treatment and patient survival rates at six cancer hospitals from 2003 to 2012. Each hospital was a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network—an alliance of 26 cancer centers that create practice guidelines for cancer treatments.
The study confirmed that IP treatment can help women live longer. Out of the women who received IP treatment—81% were still alive three years after treatment, compared to 71% of women who only received chemotherapy. These findings are based on the records of 500 women.
However, researchers discovered that IP treatment did not take off as much as they thought it would. From 2003 to 2006, treatment rose from zero to 33%. From 2007 to 2008, it rose to 50%. Unfortunately, the rates varied from one hospital to the next, ranging from four percent to 67% of patients receiving IP treatment.
Researchers conclude that the side effects of IP treatment are less severe and the rates of completing treatment are similar to chemotherapy: 89% of women finished the planned course compared to 91% who solely received chemotherapy.

You can add another WWE Superstar to the list of people venting their frustrations in public.
Tyler Breeze has indicated before that he's been unhappy and it was clear again on Sunday in a new series of tweets.
Breeze moved up to the main roster in 2015 but many fans wouldn't know it because he's only appeared on main roster programming a handful of times. He has been appearing on some live events but mostly positioned as an enhancement talent.
Breeze has traded wins with EC3 on WWE Main Event and at live events in recent weeks.
No word on when his contract expires but it would not surprise me to see him and others look at their options outside of WWE whenever their deals run out.
Eventually you say No Thank you I'm worth more….


Last Friday morning (after successfully completing the last of my Leeds assessment) I boarded a plane bound for Paris!! I was really fortunate that my amazing friend Louisa lives in Paris and offered to have me. She was the best host, tour guide and translator ever!
On my first day in Paris we did a walking tour around the Notre Dame. We learned about the original and refurbished parts of the church.
In the evening we went to Montemartre for dinner at the restaurant that was used in the film "Inglorious Basterds" – a truly local establishment. Then we went up to the Sacre Coure and saw an amazing view of Paris at night!
Saturday started with another walking tour. This time the Opera house, Place Vendôme where we saw the Ritz (where Princess Di was staying before her death) and Jardins (Gardens) de Touleries.
From there, we went for a little adventure to the Louvre and then walked all the way up the Champs Elysee to the Arch de Triumph. It was very much a "pinch yourself" moment when you're sitting in a café, sipping on your drink and looking at the Arch de Triumph!!
After some epic site seeing, we went to the movies to watch "Midnight in Paris" with Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. It was awesome – mostly because the places I was seeing in the movie were places I had walked passed that day! The movie itself was also really funny and I would definitely recommend it.
On Sunday, it was Versailles day! The Palace of Versailles is one of the most grand and impressive estates in the world. There is so much gold and the size of the Palace is overwhelming.
Once you get outside, the gardens are incredible! We walked down to Marie Antoinette's Estate which was also beautiful. We saw the "Queen's Hamlet" which is basically a tiny villiage in a very British style that Marie Antoinette had built for herself, like her own little Disneyland.
After our epic day at Versailles, Louisa's uni friends came over for dinner. They were so lovely and they spoke English so that I could understand but, at that point, I really wished I understood French. We had a really nice night and it was great to meet so many great French people!
Monday marked the commencement of the Paris International Model United Nations (PIMUN). It was hosted at Sciences Po University, a private and very highly regarded university in Paris. The campus itself is located at Saint Germain De Pres – a really expensive area in the Latin Quarter. At PIMUN, my position was chairperson of the Security Council. Our topics were "the situation in Sudan" and "security protocols on the North and South Poles". The Security Council at PIMUN had a great mix of delegates and I had such a great time chairing them. I also met some really awesome girls from Greece and chairs from the other PIMUN committees.
Over the three days there were some 14 hours of negotiations culminating in two vetoed (but still great) resolutions. At the end of the conference on Wednesday, I selected my three awards – outstanding, distinguished and honourable – which was really tough to decide. After these were announced it was all over! We had a buffet in the Science Po courtyard before heading to the river for a cruise down La Seinne. I got to see all the main sites along the riverbank but the most incredible was the Eiffel Tower! And on the hour, we got to see the flashing lights, it was just gorgeous.
Having not yet seen the Eiffel Tower up close, I ventured to the tower on Thursday morning. It was packed with people but I go some great photos from the base. It really is the icon of Paris, even if the locals feel it looks like a phone reception tower.
Then we went into the Louvre where we saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and centuries of other art and artefacts.
Paris was such an incredible week and I had the best time! Thank you to all the people who made it so much fun. Au revoir!
Yeeee another great blog post, Miss Gregor! Thanks for the personal notification 😛 Bec was alongside me as I was reading the blog and she is soooo jealous – she would LOVE to go to Paris one day! Will continue to live vicariously through you for the next few weeks…. and then we have a welcome home drinks sesh – yes?!?
You saw Paris in Summer? You are officially hated Ms Erin Gregor! Autumn was amazing, but Versailles in Summer – wow!

Earth Hour Day 2020: A Celebration Amidst A Pandemic
Devyani Nighoskar
Category: Development Studies, We are SOAS
On the 31st of March, 2007 at exactly 7.30pm; the vibrant city of Sydney in Australia dimmed down. It did not sparkle the ocean like it usually did, and the streets loomed only in amber, no longer brightened by the lights in the apartments lining it. Neither a blackout nor an apocalypse; the city's hour-long descent into darkness was voluntary and noble — been in conception since 2004 when WWF Australia got in touch with Leo Burnett Sydney, who partnered with Fairfax media to "discuss ideas for engaging Australians on the issue of climate change".
Thus was created; the 'Earth Hour'; first celebrated in Sydney — where citizens, communities, and businesses were encouraged to switch off all non-essential lights in order to unite people to take action to protect the earth. Ever since then, 'Earth Hour' has spread across the world as a grassroots movement, engaging individuals and organisations in more than 185 countries to collectively take action for the planet. While the one-hour switch off has carried through the last 12 years of this movement, it has also seen several other events worldwide addressing specific environmental issues, awareness campaigns, talks, field action etc.
Held every year in late March (around the time of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes in the northern and southern hemispheres allowing near coincidental sunset times in both hemispheres), Earth Hour claims to be a symbolic event; not necessarily one that may result in a carbon reduction exercise. Even so, the Earth Hour movement has had a significant ground impact in mobilising several communities. In 2013, Argentina used its Earth Hour Campaign to help pass a Senate bill for a 3.4 million hectares Marine Protected Area in the country. Wood-saving stoves were distributed to families in Madagascar. Thousands of solar-powered lights were installed in three villages without electricity in India. More about Earth Hour impact can be read here.
This year, Earth Hour Day is being celebrated on Saturday, March 28th from 8.30pm to 9.30pm in the UK. However, given the current crisis of the COVID pandemic; it will be executed a little differently. Although, the onus is on each country to decide how they want to proceed; Earth Hour's global organising team advises that Earth Hour be celebrated digitally. While the previous years have seen several communal offline events, Earth Hour's strength has always been harnessed digitally.
For example, #EarthHour and #Connect2Earth trended on Twitter in 33 countries during the Earth Hour 2018 campaign. This helped spread word and information, causing a record-breaking 188 countries, and 17,900 landmarks taking part in Earth Hour 2018. Several million people switched off their lights, using social media to talk about the importance of taking small yet necessary steps; sharing stats and stories about climate change and more.
This year too, as people across the world isolate or practise social-distancing; Earth Hour will go digital. On its website, it has suggested several creative ways through which people can celebrate Earth Hour online or in their homes, such as signing the "Voice for the Planet" petition to be presented during global conferences in 2020. The petition aims to indulge in a conversation with the world leaders and demand urgent political action to protect the planet.
The usual switch-off is encouraged too, with suggestions like using the dark time to watch documentaries and talks from David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg and telling your own stories about the Earth Hour using relevant hashtags. The Earth Hour website is also offering tutorials and games to learn how to live more sustainably and TikTok challenges such as #DanceForThePlanet challenge and #FlipTheSwitch challenge with official Earth Hour filters.
Even as the world goes through a pandemic, it is necessary to keep the wellbeing of our environment and do our part to help the planet.
"We need to stop the destruction of nature on which our health, happiness and future prosperity depends." The link between nature and good health cannot be ignored. Even if Earth Hour is virtual this year, it can be used to bring about real positive changes, offline.

Northern Iowa beat Illinois State to claim the Missouri Valley automatic bid.
Kyle Laska, Tyler Skinner, News Editor, Staff Writer
American East- One-bid conference. The winner of this conference will most likely be a 15 or 16 seed, but the games will be competitive, as each of the top four teams in the conference have fewer than 12 losses on the season (Albany, Stony Brook, Vermont, New Hampshire). Favorite: Albany (15-1 in conference; won tournament past two years) Sleeper: Vermont (won 5 times since 2003)
American Athletic Conference- Pretty strong conference with a potential to have four teams in the tournament. With one team in the top 25 (Southern Methodist University) and three others already above the 20-win mark (Tulsa, Cincinnati, Temple), this conference tournament could be fun one to watch. The conference has five teams with at least 10 conference wins when you add in UConn. Favorite: SMU (Easily the deepest team in the conference, plus they have a great coach, which can't be undervalued). Sleeper: UConn (Not projected in tournament as of now, but as reigning National Champions, they can't be counted out; Ryan Boatright was instrumental on that team, and he should be with this team)
Atlantic 10- Most likely sending two teams to the tournament this year. Dayton and Davidson are the favorites as they've both played great this year. But tournament-favorite VCU is just outside the mix with Rhode Island. All four teams have been above average and deserving of spots, but there's just not enough room at the Big Dance. This conference tournament should be representative of the NCAA tournament: physical and fast basketball. Favorite: Dayton (good coaching has a team with little height very dangerous in the tournament) Sleeper: Richmond (closing in on the bubble, but will be going all out for an automatic bid; on a six game winning streak)
ACC- The arguably second-best conference in basketball after the Big-12 will have a thrilling tournament this year, as always. Both Virginia and Duke are possibly a 1-seed in the Big Dance, and Notre Dame, Louisville, North Carolina are all also locks for the tournament. Miami, NC State, and Pittsburgh will all need some wins in the conference tournament to solidify themselves in the NCAA Tournament. Favorite: Duke (fighting for a 1-seed, the best coach that ever lived will have this team going all out; beat Virginia on the road this year for Virginia's only loss) Sleeper: North Carolina (another usual suspect in the ACC Tournament, but this team also sports a great coach with very good players; if there is a team that Duke doesn't want to see in this tournament, it is UNC, the team with elite rebounding and passing).
Atlantic Sun- North Florida defeated USC Upstate for the automatic bid from the Atlantic Sun. It will be the only representative from this conference.
Big 12- The best conference in all the NCAA this season. This 10-team conference will be represented by anywhere from six to eight teams in the Big Dance. Night in and night out, the games have been intense and almost always competitive to the end. This is the main event of all the conference tournaments. Favorite: Kansas (won six of past nine tournaments; 13-4 in conference) Sleeper: Texas (great rebounding team with big man Myles Turner, who is always a mismatch; they will be hungry in the tournament knowing that if they don't win there is a good chance they don't made the NCAA Tournament).
Big East- Villanova, Providence, Butler, Georgetown, St. John's, and possibly Xavier will be representing the Big East in the NCAA tournament this year. In a conference where only four teams won't make it, expect the games to be played at a very high level with some physicality to them. Favorite: Villanova (likely to be a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament if they are able to sew up this one; 28-2 record on the season, with only two losses being to teams that they later beat) Sleeper: St. John's (tournament is played on their court, Madison Square Garden; coming in hot, having been 7-2 in their last nine regular season games)
Big Sky- One-bid conference. One of the weakest conferences in the NCAA, the winner of this tournament will almost certainly be a 16-seed in a play-in game against another 16-seed. Having said that, with two teams in the conference still in single-digit losses for the season, the conference tournament will likely be entertaining to watch. Favorite: Montana (played both Cal and Boise State to double overtime on the road; won the Big Sky a league leading nine times) Sleeper: Eastern Washington (21-8 record overall; won at Indiana).
Big South- Coastal Carolina beat Winthrop for the right to represent the Big South. It will be the only tournament team from the Big South.
Big Ten- In their best-case scenario, the Big Ten could send eight representatives, but most likely it will end up being six or seven. Teams like Illinois and Purdue could use some wins in the Big Ten tournament against good teams in order to send them dancing. Eleven teams are .500 or better on the season, so this tournament will feature a bunch of teams hungry to solidify their position in the tournament or teams with aspirations of stealing a bid. Favorite: Wisconsin (only two losses all year in conference, and both were on the road in close games; lead by probable player of the year, senior, Frank Kaminsky the Badgers will be the matchup nobody wants to see) Sleeper: Michigan State (great coaching by Tom Izzo always has this team playing its best come tournament time; senior-led team will be hungry to win and get a better seed for the NCAA Tournament)
Big West- One-bid conference. The story of this tournament will be if anyone can knock off UC Davis, which has gone 12-2 through conference. Favorite: UC Davis (fourth highest field goal percentage in all NCAA; first in three point percentage) Sleeper: UC Santa Barbara (beat UC Davis by 14 during the season; took SMU and Oregon to overtime).
Colonial Athletic Association- One-bid conference. This is a pretty top-heavy conference, with the top four teams (Northeastern, William & Mary, James Madison, UNC Wilmington) each with a real shot to win the bid to the NCAA tournament. Favorite: Northeastern (Won at Florida State; 20-11 record throughout regular season) Sleeper: UNC Wilmington (Swept Northeastern and James Madison).
Con-USA- Most likely a one-bid conference, but if enough goes their way, Old Dominion could possibly get in as an at-large bid, although they shouldn't hold their breath. The way into the NCAA Tournament is through winning the Conference USA Tournament, which will have four teams with 10 or fewer losses. Favorite: Old Dominion (wins against VCU and LSU; beat number-one seed in conference Louisiana Tech by 19) Sleeper: Western Kentucky (win at Ole Miss; win at Old Dominion).
Horizon- One-bid conference. Very top-heavy conference, with Valparaiso and Green Bay being the best teams and everyone else a step behind. A crazy tournament not withstanding, the Horizon will be represented by one of those two. Favorite: Valparaiso (2013 winner; beat Murray State) and Green Bay (win at Miami) Sleeper: Oakland (wins against both Valparaiso and Green Bay).
Ivy- One game playoff between Harvard and Yale to decide who represents Ivy League.
Metro Atlantic Athletic- One-bid conference. If Iona or Rider win the conference, they could be as low as a 13-seed, but if anyone else wins, more than likely they will be a 16. Favorite: Iona (17-3 in conference; top 10 in all NCAA in points per game) Sleeper: Manhattan (reining champion; took Rider to overtime twice).
Mid-American- One-bid conference. The MAC has been an extremely even conference this year, and it is anyone's game come tournament time. Buffalo, Bowling Green, Kent State, Central Michigan, and Toledo won double-digit conference games. Favorite: Central Michigan (won at Northwestern; 4-0 against Buffalo and Toledo) Sleeper: Akron (4-1 against Buffalo, Kent State, and Bowling Green; won tournament three times in past six years)
Mid-Eastern Athletic- One-bid conference. Weak conference with the winner likely a 15 or 16 seed. Favorite: North Carolina Central (undefeated in conference this year) Sleeper: Delaware State (top 15 in rebounds in the nation; win at Wake Forest)
Missouri Valley- Northern Iowa defeated Illinois State for the automatic bid from the Missouri Valley. Northern Iowa will be joined by Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament.
Mountain West- This is shaping up to be a two-bid conference, with San Diego State and Colorado State making it. Colorado State is close to the bubble, so a bad loss in this tournament would be a death sentence for them. With four other teams in double-digit wins in conference this year, this conference could easily go to a team with a bid steal in mind. Favorite: San Diego State (13-4 they pretty much ran the table this season; they allow the third least points in the nation at 53.7 per game)
Northeast- One-bid conference. Winner of this tournament will be a 16-seed come time for the tournament. Favorite: St. Francis (15-3 in conference; number 14 in the nation in rebounding) Sleeper: Robert Morris (won tournament 12 times; 12-6 in conference).
Ohio Valley- Represented by Belmont who beat Murray State 88-87. Murray State is on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament.
Pac-12- There will be anywhere from 2-5 bids in the Pac-12 this year. The most likely scenario is Arizona, Utah, and Oregon getting in, and either UCLA or Stanford getting in with a run in the Pac-12 Tournament. The Pac-12 plays at a very fast pace, and this tournament will be the same; expect this to be a very high-quality tournament. Favorite: Arizona (fighting for a 1-seed, they will be going all out; with a 27-3 record, they have handled most of their opponents all year long) Sleeper: UCLA (didn't lose a home conference game all year; the easy way off the bubble is to win the tournament, and they will be playing their hearts out).
Patriot- One-bid conference. Bucknell has been running the table in this conference all year, and actually for the past four years or so. Having said that, with five losses in conference, they have shown they are vulnerable, so they need to come to play if they want to represent the Patriot League in the NCAA Tournament. Favorite: Bucknell (played in the finals in three of the past four years; 13-5 in conference) Sleeper: Colgate (15th in field goal percentage in the nation; swept Bucknell this year).
SEC- The SEC is most likely looking at six bids this year, but it could go down to five if a team like Ole Miss, Texas A&M, or Georgia take a bad loss. The obvious talk of the tournament will be if anybody can knock off Kentucky, who is sitting at 31-0 going into the tournament. Teams near the bottom will have a tough road to steal a bid because it will have to go through the NBA talent-filled roster of Kentucky. Favorite: Kentucky (haven't lost all year, enough said) Sleeper: Florida (always plays big this time of year; have played very close games throughout all of the conference season, and they have the experience of how to play those close games).
Southern- One-bid conference. With only three teams in the conference above .500 in league play (Wofford, Chattanooga, Mercer), the conference tournament could be dull until the final game or two, but expect those to be exciting. Favorite: Wofford (16-2 in conference; win at NC State; swept Mercer) Sleeper: Virginia Military (third in the nation in points per game; top-10 in steals and blocks per game).
Southland- One-bid conference. Stephen F. Austin has lost one conference game over the past two years so this tournament may be just a formality, but on the off chance that someone else does get through, then they will be a 16-seed. Favorite: Stephen F. Austin (2nd in assists per game; win at Memphis) Sleeper: Texas A&M-CC (beat Stephen F. Austin; split with second place team Sam Houston State).
Southwestern Atlantic- One-bid conference. Another top heavy conference, which has spent the league year beating up on bottom feeders Grambling State (0-16) and Alcorn State (4-12). Favorite: Texas Southern (wins at Michigan State and Kansas State; each of their eight rotational players is an upperclassmen) Sleeper: Alabama State (12-4 in conference; averaging over 70 points per game).
Summit- One-bid conference. Expect a very competitive tournament among teams that are trying to be a Cinderella story in the NCAA Tournament after watching North Dakota State down Oklahoma just last year. Favorite: South Dakota State (won twice in the past three years; tournament is played in South Dakota) Sleeper: North Dakota State (split with South Dakota State; reining champion).
Sun Belt- One-bid conference. The winner of this will almost certainly be a 16-seed, but it would still be a thrill, as most of these teams are chomping at the bit to just get one shot to down one of the best teams in basketball. Favorite: Georgia State (13-5 in conference; 7th in steals per game) Sleeper: UL Monroe (took Florida to overtime; good defensive team led by senior Tylor Ongwae gives them a chance to stick with any team in the league).
West Coast- Most likely there will be two tournament teams from the West Coast Conference in the Big Dance. Gonzaga is looking at a 2-seed if they can win this tournament, and BYU is currently a bubble team, so a tournament win would do a lot for them. Favorite: Gonzaga (won it 13 times in past 17 years; best field goal percentage in the NCAA) Sleeper: Saint Mary's (made championship five of past six years; senior leadership from guys that have been here before).
Western Athletic- One-bid conference. A 16-seed is a certainty for any team except for New Mexico State, who has a chance for a 14 or 15 if they win. Favorite: New Mexico State (11-1 in conference; won three straight WAC Tournaments) Sleeper: Seattle (beat New Mexico State; three-game winning streak going into the tournament).

The house is under twenty minutes from the towns of Morin Heights, Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, St-Sauveur and Ste-Adèle and just forty minutes from Mont-Tremblant, the year round ski resort on the shores of Lake Tremblant, featuring amazing winter sports, golf courses and a charming shopping village.

We all loved this house. We loved the sound of the brook all day and night, the beauty of the setting and the house, and the charming town it is in. It was a very special place.
We just come back from visiting Montréal & Linda & Denys's.
We feel very blessed to have met the perfect place for our holidays.
Linda & Denys took care of every detail of their property with such care & thoughts.
Our stay was simply delightful.
The river surrounding the chalet, and its Eco design meet beautifully.
We would recommend this place to anyone loving relaxation, nature and sports.
We'd love to come back for autumnal experience!
Great property. Great and caring owners.
We are a family with 3 children and have rented several homes all over the world. This one certainly ranks as one of the best. This home is exactly as advertised. It's clean and well cared for by Linda & Denys & has a very well-equipped kitchen. It's location is close to Mt St-Sauveur and about 40 minutes from Mt Tremblant. The privacy is amazing and the creek in the back is superb. We would absolutely recommend this property to anybody who's interested in a tranquil location as well as a quality chalet.
This is a must visit!!!
I stayed here with my husband and son for 5 nights. We had such an amazing and relaxing stay at the beautifully furnished home. The house is both spacious and cozy with large windows throughout which allow for scenic views in every room. Enjoying the spa every day was an incredibly relaxing experience. The house is completely in the forest so there is privacy and peace. Soaking in the hot tub after a day of skiing was a treat. The hot tub is the best I've ever been in. It has numerous jets which are all adjustable and allow for a great massage. The tub was very spacious and had different color lights for night use. The indoor bathtub was also a treat, both large and deep. There is a fireplace and wood burning stove which warm the house. The kitchen is fully equipped. We skied at Mont Tremblant and Mont Saint-Sauveur. We also enjoyed a delicious meal in the quaint village of Saint Sauveur. Linda and Denys are great hosts who spent a lot of time showing us around and educating us about the area. You can see they take pride in their home and enjoy sharing it with others. We would definitely love to return!
This home (and property) is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in over the past 25 years renting. Our stay was relaxing, which is what we were wanting, but there is so much to see and do around the area you could stay busy the entire week. The nearby town is charming and has some excellent restaurants to eat in for any time of day or to grab a beer. The lakes are beautiful and accessible with local boat rentals. We plan on coming back…in the winter this time!

Commerce shuffling CIO chairs as Murphy moves on, Mendes moves up
By Jason Miller | @jmillerWFED
The Commerce Department is moving on to its second acting chief information officer in seven months.
Current acting CIO Terryne Murphy announced this week she is heading to a new position in the government after taking over for Rod Turk, who retired in February. Murphy didn't announce what her new role would be.
Andre Mendes will become the acting CIO of Commerce in mid-August after spending the last 18 months as the CIO of the International Trade Administration.
Commerce announced in an email obtained by Federal News Network that Andre Mendes, the CIO of the International Trade Administration, will take over as acting CIO when Murphy leaves on Aug. 16.
In an email to staff, Murphy said the reasons for the change were family related and the opportunity to move closer to home.
"I feel very fortunate to have been given this brief opportunity to serve in this capacity," Murphy writes in an email obtained by Federal News Network. "You all have been great to work with and I have learned so much from you. Andre Mendes, the current ITA CIO, will step into the role of acting CIO as I step away. I am confident that you and the entire DOC IT Community will be in the best of hands. Please afford him the generosity you provided to me as he transitions into the position in the coming weeks."
Murphy has worked at Commerce since April 2018 where she served as the deputy CIO for solutions and service delivery. She has more than 25 years of federal service, having served in the Army as a telecommunications officer and with the Justice and Homeland Security departments.
"Working with Terryne has been a true pleasure. Her three decades of experience in a variety of federal IT positions proved incredibly valuable to the department and the OCIO organization," said Deputy Secretary Dunn Kelley in the email to staff. "I know I speak for everyone at the department when I say we wish her well as she takes on a new federal government senior leadership position."
Mendes came to Commerce in April 2018 after spending more than eight years at the Broadcasting Board of Governors — now known as the United States Agency for Global Media — as its CIO, chief technology officer and other senior leadership positions.
During his tenure at BBG, Mendes cleaned up and reconfigured the agency's networks after the Chinese hacked into the systems.
Along with his time at BBG, Mendes served as senior vice president for strategic planning and global CIO for Special Olympics International and helped the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) through its migration to digital television as its chief technology integration officer (CIO/CTO).
Mendes will take over as the acting CIO just as the fiscal 2021 budget development hits the final stages. Commerce has an IT budget of $3.3 billion in 2019 and a request of $3.8 billion in 2020. Most of the increase over the last few years can be attributed to the Census's preparation for the 2020 count.
Don't miss a beat feds! Download the newly revamped Federal News Network app for all the latest in federal news.
The Federal IT Dashboard says 77% of Commerce's major IT projects are on schedule and 60% are on budget. The dashboard also says the agency hasn't moved into iterative or agile development for many of its projects with 36% still using the waterfall methodology.
New Energy CIO has been there before
Along with Commerce, the Energy Department has a new CIO.
Rocky Campione replaced Max Everett, who left in July to be the vice president and CIO of the Committee on Arrangements for the 2020 Republican National Convention. He was the CIO for the Republican National Convention previously in 2007 in preparation for the 2008 election.
Chris "Rocky" Campione became the Energy Department's CIO in July.
Everett had been CIO at Energy for just over two years.
Campione rejoined Energy only in July as its principal deputy CIO after spending the last decade in the private sector with Planet Technologies, an IT security consulting firm.
But he isn't unfamiliar with Energy or its CIO office. Campione spent more than four years working for Energy as senior adviser to the CIO as well as other executive positions.
He also worked on Capitol Hill and for the State Department during his career.
Along with Campione, Energy recently brought in Mark Kneidinger as its senior adviser for policy and IT transformation in June, but now has been promoted to principal deputy CIO, according to the CIO's website.
Everett's decision to leave is mildly surprising as he was making real progress at Energy. The agency was one of only five to win money from the Technology Modernization Fund. Energy is using $15 million to consolidate and modernize its email and collaboration tools in the cloud.
He also focused Energy's cyber efforts, getting the national labs to play a bigger role in protecting the agency's data and networks.
Campione takes over an IT budget of $2.3 billion in 2019 and a request of $2.4 billion in 2020.
The Federal IT Dashboard says Energy's major IT projects are in good shape with 87% being on schedule and 74% on budget. Additionally, Energy has only 12% of its projects still using the waterfall approach, while 36% are using an iterative or agile methodology. The rest are undefined or not a software or systems development project.

The Japanese love their baseball and it's a lot of fun to join the supporters at a home game.
During the Meiji Period (1868-1912) when Japan opened its doors to Western fashions and architecture, baseball also took root and today is the most popular non-traditional sport in Japan. The Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) League comprising of 12 teams in 2 divisions is broadcast live in national TV and all across the country baseball is played in schools and local sports clubs.
InsideJapan can arrange tickets to a baseball game in many cities across Japan. Teams are named after their company sponsors so you might see the Rakuten Golden Eagles named after the Sendai Internet shopping company play the Nippon Ham (meatpackers) Fighters from Hokkaido.
Perhaps one of the best spots to see baseball is in Hiroshima where the Toyo Carp's Mazda Stadium is in a prime location within walking distance of the Shinkansen Station and close to the central Peace Park area of the city. The Carp are often the underdogs of the NPB but their fans are said to be the most loyal and there is always a great atmosphere when they play at home.
While Japanese baseball is always of a high standard, the game itself can feel almost secondary to the excitement of the crowd all with hand clappers, giant foam hands and balloons, enjoying picnics, beers and sake. We recommend sitting behind either the 1st or 3rd bases as this is where the most vocal supporters sit and where all the fun takes place!
The season starts in late March/early April and runs until October.

I first met Irene Au when I interviewed her for DesignBetter.Co in 2016, but during the course of our more recent interview for this podcast, I learned that her work had impacted me in some unexpected ways. Au was part of the team that designed early versions of Netscape, one of the first commercial browsers.
I grew up a computer nerd in the 80s, so I was familiar with early pre-incarnations of the Internet like BBS's and Prodigy. But as an undergrad in the mid-1990s, I remember being blown away by my first exposure to the world wide web as viewed through Netscape's browser, and was equally amazed to hear that Au played a big part in designing those experiences.
When she tells the story about when she first came to Google in 2006, she mentions she had discussions with Larry Page about how he viewed the optimal user experience with Google's products.
He held up UNIX as an example of an efficient, ideal user interface. This made me smile, as I spent hours typing away on PINE during my undergrad years and had a love/hate relationship with the stripped-down interface of this UNIX-based email client.
As you'll hear in this episode, eventually Page came around to embrace things like white space and other more considered, but still efficient, design fundamentals. It was great to hear how Au played a part in the story of Google's design maturation, and how she continues to help companies embrace user-centered design.
Au has had an amazing career, leading design at places like Yahoo, Google, Udacity, and now as a design partner at Khosla Ventures. We hope you enjoy our interview with her, and get a lot out of the insights that she shares.
This is just the first episode of many to come.
If you like what we're doing, and want to hear the stories of more great designers like Au, it would help us out a lot if you subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and leave us a review.


Every child deserves a chance to succeed in life and with the Direct Drive long term mentorship DJ program a chance is what they are given.
With the assistance of our expert instructors, who care deeply about their community and the future of the next generation, we are able to provide individualized weekly DJ lessons to 24 deserving youth starting September 2016. Our program will provide these youth with the chance to connect with professional, caring and experienced Mentoring Musicians and learn how to create and compose music of their very own, while at the same time exploring the elements of various careers within the Hip Hop industry as a whole. Through this process of music exploration, youth will build confidence and a sense of accomplishment in their new abilities.
We encourage these young people to stay on a positive life path, complete their schooling, work towards achieving personalized goals, and utilize music as a healthy release and form of personal expression. Our program focuses on the exploration of Hip Hop, with a positive message - "Conscious Rap", a sub-genre of Hip Hop that focuses on creating awareness and imparting knowledge. It is propelled by the conviction that social change comes through knowledge of self and personal discovery. Conscious rappers traditionally decry / condemn violence, discrimination, and other societal ailments.
We do everything we can to ensure that the youth experience success, as this program is designed to relieve stress and minimize anxiety. We believe that bringing the program to where youth are is a crucial element of our program's success, making it possible for youth to commit and regularly attend.
Music has been scientifically proven to elevate one's mood, improve cognitive performance, relieve symptoms of depression, enhance blood vessel function, improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety as well as help individuals to perform better in high pressure situations. Playing a musical instrument has been shown to increase memory capacity, refine time management capacities / organizational skills, encourage perseverance and resiliency, enhance coordination, increase responsibility, promote social skills, teach discipline, sharpen concentration and foster self expression while promoting happiness in ourselves and those around us. The Legacy Children's Foundation Direct Drive DJ Program will provide youth in need with a unique musical and mentoring experience that might very well change the course of their lives.

The nonprofit world has already seen a number of Board shakeups this year – from Board members resigning en masse from the Frost Science Museum following fundraising and cash-management woes, to the issues at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, in which a spiraling relationship with the Board led to the firing of the CEO. The right qualifications, a good cultural fit, dedication to the mission and a solid dynamic among nonprofit leaders are critical for a healthy organization.
To be effective, a nonprofit Board should be composed of a diverse group of individuals with various skill sets in order to carry out its fiduciary responsibilities most effectively. Depending upon the mission of an organization, the skill sets needed vary. In addition to individuals who are passionate and knowledgeable about the mission of the organization, it might be beneficial to have individuals with legal, financial, development or technical backgrounds on the Board. Demographic diversity is also very important, as the most effective Boards represent individuals of diverse backgrounds.
Like your organization, the Board is a community in itself. New members must be welcomed and oriented to its culture. Develop a Board manual for new Board members that includes standard documents, including the mission, bylaws and other important literature, as well as job descriptions for the positions to be filled. In addition, the organization should provide an orientation to walk through the expectations for new Board members, the code of conduct, and interactive training on the organization's code of ethics.

Q: Problema com pause no keyframe Fiz um keyframe que esta funcionando perfeitamente porem estou um problema em relação ao pause dele pois assim ele pausa assim que passo o mouse por cima com um efeito :hover porem o problema e que ele pausa a animação por completo por exemplo a minha imagem gira some e aparece outra porem se pauso ela para na metade do processo fica uma coisa meio "Bugada" eu gostaria que ele pausa-se exatamente quando minha animação estiver 100% concluída existe uma forma de fazer isso isso pode ser feito com um :focus por exemplo se no caso o :hover não for possível

Oh, there's something between us, Mommy, I can't get to you! her eyes tell me.
I try, but the waves keep coming to get me, and the sand grabs at my feet. But I love you too much not to be with you, so here I come!
Stepping, then jumping then paddling then splashing the water furiously. The look on her face is pure panic. Save me, Mommy. Save me. The water is everywhere, all around me. Save me.
Her huge brown eyes are pleading and frantic in fear. Her paws are frantically splashing, her extended claws are razor sharp, gashing my shoulders, my midsection, my arms.
Reaching, alluding, splashing, eyes averted, my hands grasp and finally hold fast to her front paws. I lift them to my shoulders and her to standing; her back paws now established on the firm sand at both our feet. We embrace.
I am gashed and bleeding, but she is safe. We are safe. I turn her and usher her safely back to shore.
I don't ask why she panicked. I know this fear.
I don't blame her for my injuries. I know this lashing out.
I am rescued daily from such romps in the surf.
I know these firm hands that grasp mine to help me stand.

Works every time, the guide told us.
I didn't have to use it that trip, but I tucked it away for another day. Because … what do you do when the angry dog comes after you?
It may be our GET OFF THE COUCH! moment.
But … yelling at a charging dog is likely to be harder than we think.
Even if we pedal fast and have a very authoritative voice.

Lil stays put where I tell her to stay.
Which means for sure that Bud's up to no good.
Better find brother Bud; that's understood.
