Åhléns began in 1899 as a small mail-order business. Aside from it being one of the oldest it has also grown to become one of the largest retail chains in Sweden. By carefully collating a variety of items across brands and price categories, the retailer maintains its relevance today, understanding and responding to the many ways in which its customers have changed over its long history. Happy FB, the Scandinavian design studio behind Åhléns new visual identity, puts it simply "to Åhléns' urbane and socially conscious patrons, shopping and sustainability are not contradictions. Inspiration and trends do not equate to use and discard. Premium can be inexpensive and cheap doesn't necessarily mean a drop in quality". The retailer's new visual identity expresses this by taking the well-established Åhléns wordmark and single red and builds this out into a range of changing graphic expressions, imbuing a variety of touchpoints, material and digital, with more character whilst retaining a recognisable immediacy through simplicity.
Kaiyo, formerly Furnishare, is an online platform for the reselling and buying of used furniture, currently available in New York City and New Jersey, but with the intention to expand this internationally. Kaiyo picks up, inspects, cleans, photographs and uploads furniture to its online catalogue, easing the difficulties of selling secondhand online. It is part of a growing up-cycling movement, challenges the notion of seasonality promoted by large furniture retailers and was created in response to the approximately 8 million tons of furniture that ends up in American landfill each year. Eco-modernist, good design available to everyone, reuse and longevity are central to Kaiyo's positioning. This was developed by Pentagram partner Natasha Jen and team, alongside naming and graphic identity which runs across website, brochure, van livery, tote bag and box tape.
AIA Conference on Architecture is an annual three-day event that explores what is new and now in architecture and design. In 2018 this took place between June 21st and 23rd at Manhattan's Javits Center, a pioneering modernist space frame structure designed by architect James Ingo Freed. The event is made up of workshops, seminars and city tours across the five boroughs of New York City as well keynotes from those working within the fields of both architecture and design who spoke of their approaches to making a difference to cities across the globe.
Pentagram partner Natasha Jen and team developed the visual identity for A'18, building on the graphic identity developed for AIA, also designed by Pentagram. This captures the vibrancy and life of the city, and the idiosyncrasies of its diverse neighbourhoods. This linked the welcome desk with takeaway assets that included tote bags, Metro Cards and city map.

Located smack in the center of Skopje, Bocata has the best view of the City Square out of all the surrounding cafes. This has become one of my favorite spots in Skopje especially when I want to meet up with friends in between business meetings and running errands in the center.
What I mostly like about Bocata is the good service, the friendly staff and the excellent Lavazza coffee. The espresso here is top quality, but I also recommend that you try some of their cream espresso specialties. The music here is very quiet and relaxing which is another thing I love about Bocata because I can stop here, have my coffee and do a little work on my laptop.
The drinks here are also really good and there is a nice array of refreshing fresh juices. Cocktails are a must try too. I would also recommend the toast as a perfect addition to the great coffee, because sometimes we all have to grab a quick bite. Enjoy the view!

Sheena's Wistful/Wanton Wednesday: Matchmakers Edition!
You are here: Home / Discussion / Sheena's Wistful/Wanton Wednesday: Matchmakers Edition!
Wednesdays are for Lovers! And this week, my attention has been hijacked by historical matchmaking trope! I love it. I loveeee it! And the best of my recently read crop is Vivienne Lorret's Ten Kisses to Scandal.
I feel in complete and utter rapturous loveeee with this heroine! Let me tell you, more often than not, the hero steals the show in my most adored romances and it is such a truly special experience when everything clicks! Briar was such a dynamic woman! She was independent but not averse to love, just the opposite, she just knows exactly the man she won't fall for- and watching her fall for Nicholas was hilarious! The banter, the romance, ugh, this was freaking delightful!
…She rose up on her toes and began to scatter kisses all over him.
He growled in response, capturing her mouth in a fierce kiss. Reprimanding her for saying those tender things. For wanting the gawky, callow young man he'd once been. For making him wish to go back in time to make that possible. But she deserved so much more than him. She deserved everything he wasn't capable of giving her. He broke free, pressing his forehead to hers, gripping her hips, letting her feel his hard, unrelenting need.
Her adept little fingers started flicking open his waistcoat buttons. And he, pathetic fool that he was, didn't stop her. Instead, he took her by the hand and hauled her through the nearest door—a small sewing room with a quilt stand by the windows, where beads of water scattered prisms of sunlight into the room. The rain had stopped. The garden below already appearing dry, soaking up the shower like a sponge. The roads would be clear soon. She giggled when he pulled her eagerly to him.
A tremor quaked through her as she panted into his mouth, pausing her attempts to pull his shirtwaist free.
Her hand slipped inside, splaying over his abdomen, drifting up and over, everywhere she could reach. Then she lifted the linen shirt and pressed her face against him, inhaling deeply.
Ten Kisses to Scandal by Vivienne Lorret is available now!

DEATH IN THE HARBOUR, by Pauline Rowson, the second in the 1950s set mystery series featuring Inspector Ryga, is published in paperback, as an e book, on Amazon Kindle and as an audio book.
The atmospheric mystery series set in 1950s England features Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga who teams up with former war photographer Eva Paisley.
Scotland Yard's Inspector Alun Ryga is sent to Newhaven, East Sussex to unravel the mystery of why an ordinary police constable was murdered and his wife has gone missing
"Pure detection… a great read."
Pauline Rowson says, 'Scotland Yard were frequently called in to investigate murder cases around the UK in the 1950s so rather than have the novel (and series) rooted in London this meant I could move my detective around the country to help solve coastal crimes. I wanted to feature the sea in my crime novels, my trademark as all my novels are set against the backdrop of the sea, so I created a character with an intimate knowledge of the sea, a former merchant seaman, Inspector Alun Ryga.
From the first I didn't want to make Ryga an action hero like Art Marvik. I also sought to differ him from DI AndyHorton, an instinctive copper with lots of personal baggage, intuitive, rugged and flawed with a deep sense of justice. Neither did I want someone who had been hailed as a war hero in the traditional sense, but instead a quiet, unsung hero. I chose, therefore, to make Ryga a former German prisoner-of-war.'
In his first mystery DEATH IN THE COVE, Ryga is sent to the Island of Portland, Dorset to investigate the murder of a man found in the isolated Church Ope Cove. DEATH IN THE COVE is also available as an audio book and in paperback, as an ebook and on Amazon Kindle.
Pauline Rowson is the author of twenty-one crime novels, which includes the popular marine set mysteries featuring the flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton (15) and the Marvik mystery thrillers (3).
DEATH IN THE HARBOUR is also available as an audio book narrated by Jonathan Rhodes and produced by B7 Media.

JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label is a commemoration of Alexander Walker's remarkable 1867 Old Highland Whisky. Its epic story is one that has seen it travel it from the four corners of Scotland, to the four corners of the earth.
Using blending skills learnt from his father, carefully honed through the blending of teas and spices from the New World, Alexander Walker harnessed whisky flavours from across Scotland to craft a blend of truly rare quality and sent it 'wherever ships could sail'.
Crafted in a time of remarkable achievements, in an age that would change the world forever, Old Highland Whisky was seen as a defining statement in whisky excellence and quickly became a dominant force in the global Scotch Whisky market.
Alexander's entrepreneurial vision knew no bounds, and as a result, JOHNNIE WALKER whiskies were being sold in more than 120 countries by 1920 winning worldwide acclaim.
The rare casks used in the blending of JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label are drawn from the largest reserves of whisky in the world.
The casks are hand-selected and set aside for their exceptional quality, character and flavour. They are truly special, with only 1 in 10,000 containing whisky of sufficient character to deliver its remarkably smooth signature taste.
JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label is a big flavoured whisky that reflects the Walker family's belief that neither whisky age alone, nor whisky from a single location, is enough to achieve the creation of an unrivalled masterpiece today.
Layers of big flavour, deep richness and smoke, layers of honey and fruit and an incredibly smooth finish deliver the truly rare character of JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label.
JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label is an intense, rich, deep and multi-layered experience.
Best savoured with the palate cleansed and cooled by iced water. JOHNNIE WALKER Blue Label has a mellow, rounded nose, with a dry smokiness (a JOHNNIE WALKER signature flavour) mixed with raisin sweetness. The first sip reveals a velvety mouth-feel, then an explosion of flavour – hazelnuts, honey, rose petals, sherry and oranges. Subsequent sips reward you with more hidden secrets like kumquats, wispy aromatic smoke, sandalwood, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Then there's a rich and uniquely long and satisfying finish of smoke and pepper, ending with a glorious touch of spice.

By law, Scotch Whisky must be wholly matured in Scotland, in oak casks for a period of not less than three years and to which no substance other than water and spirit caramel has been added. Caramel has traditionally been added only to adjust the colour of the batched product to match the standard of the specific brand.

Horn Lake pet owners – Horn Lake Animal Hospital is celebrating World Rabies Day on September 28th with $10 rabies vaccines for dogs & cats!
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system. The virus is secreted in saliva and is transmitted to people and animals by a bite from an infected animal. Once the outward signs of the disease appear, rabies is nearly always fatal.
Only mammals can get rabies – birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians can not be infected with the rabies virus.
Cats have become the most common domestic animal infected with rabies. This is because many cat owners do not vaccinate their cats and cats can be exposed to rabid wildlife, either outdoors or when bats get into the house. Rabies also occurs in dogs and cattle in significant numbers and has been diagnosed in horses, goats, sheep, swine and ferrets.
Vaccination programs and control of stray animals have been effective in preventing rabies in most pets.
What are the signs of rabies in animals?
Once the rabies virus enters the body, it travels along the nerves to the brain. Animals with rabies may show a variety of signs, including fearfulness, aggression, excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing, staggering, paralysis and seizures. Aggressive behavior is common, but rabid animals may also be uncharacteristically affectionate.
There is no treatment once the clinical signs of rabies appear.
Rabies infection of an animal can only be confirmed after death, through microscopic examination of the animal's brain.
What can I do to help control rabies?
Remember that rabies is entirely preventable through vaccination.
Have your veterinarian vaccinate your pets and animals – dogs, cats, ferrets, and select horses and livestock.
Your veterinarian will advise you on the recommended or required frequency of vaccination in your area.
Rabies vaccine is required by state law.
Reduce the possibility of exposure to rabies by not letting your pets roam free.
Keep cats and ferrets indoors, and supervise dogs when they are outside.
Spaying or neutering your pet may decrease roaming tendencies and will prevent them from contributing to the birth of unwanted animals.
Don't leave exposed garbage or pet food outside, as it may attract wild or stray animals.
Wild animals should never be kept as pets.
Not only may this be illegal, but wild animals pose a potential rabies threat to caretakers and to others.
Observe all wild animals from a distance. A rabid wild animal may appear tame but don't go near it.
Teach children NEVER to handle unfamiliar animals—even if they appear friendly.
If you see a wild animal acting strangely, report it to the city or county animal control department.
Bat-proof your home and other structures to prevent bats from nesting and having access to people or pets.

Your Leo Zodiac Sign Guide: Everything to Know About the Spotlight-Loving Fire Sign
Big lion energy might be OTT, but you'll love basking in the glow of their perpetually sunny vibe.
By Maressa Brown
Updated May 29, 2020 @ 11:00 am
Credit: InStyle.com/Getty Images
When temperatures are skyrocketing, nothing appeals more than lazing about near a glimmering body of water, and it's tougher than ever to focus on work thanks to peak summertime FOMO, it's obviously Leo season. Annually, approximately between July 23 and August 22, the sun moves through the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo, symbolized by the regal Lion.
In the heart of summer, our minds drift away from the must-dos and the organizational details of life and toward spontaneous hangs with friends, whimsical, impromptu road trips, vacations (or staycations), summer romance, and posting poolside thirst traps — all the playful, lighthearted pleasures of the sunniest season. This passionate, fun-loving energy is informed by Leo, a fire sign associated with light, love, confidence, buoyant and positive vibes and the tendency to take bold action or transform everyday life into a vibrant, colorful, drama-packed stage. These traits are owed to Leo's ruling luminous celestial body, the sun, which oversees image, identity, personal style, vitality, and self-esteem.
RELATED: Your June Horoscope Is Here
A few charismatic, optimistic, and natural born leaders who were born under Leo: Meghan Markle, Gina Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez, Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Lawrence, Demi Lovato, and Cara Delevingne are all astrologically influenced to claim the spotlight, using their empowered voices to express what's in their big hearts while inspiring and cheering on others to do the same.
Here, everything you need to know about the loyal, generous, charismatic sign.
Leo Personality Traits
Those born between July 23 and August 22 can generally assume that their sun sign is Leo. (It's not definitive, because the sun moves between signs on different days annually.) Also note that while we tend to refer to ourselves as our sun sign, it's just one detail of a natal chart, which is basically a unique snapshot of the sky when you were born. But it's a detail that helps color your core sense of self, identity, personal style, self-esteem and confidence.
The star of the zodiac
Typical sun in Leo traits include being confident, comfortable being the center of attention, drama-adoring, ambitious, loyal, fiercely protective of their nearest and dearest, generous, luxury-loving, sunny, and big-hearted. Their characteristics reflect themes covered by the Fifth House of Romance and Self-Expression, which Leo rules. The Fifth House oversees leisurely fun, creativity, children, pleasure, and the most spirited, effervescent expressions of love and sex, like flirting and dating.
The natural-born leader
Since the vitality-bringing, confidence-enhancing sun has such a clear impact on Leo's personality, the fire sign tends to go toward opportunities to run whatever literal or figurative show they're most drawn to. They'll naturally slide into an executive position, guiding a team effortlessly from the front of any room, decide they can make a real difference by running for local government, or aspire to see their name in lights as the headliner of a hit production. But just as readily as they might seek to lead and soak up attention and applause, they'll shine their blinding, perpetually warm inner light on those around them, throwing themselves into planning an OTT celebration for a loved one with all the most gasp-worthy decor and gourmet bites, devote time and money to a favorite charity, or plan (and shell out for) a memorable, lavish anniversary getaway with their true love. After all, when it comes to following their hearts and setting themselves up for the ultimate fun, pleasurable, fancypants experience, dynamic, life-loving Leos will spare no expense.
The fixed fire sign
Every sign is assigned a quality (cardinal, mutable, or fixed), which explains the sign's basic energy. There's a cardinal, mutable, and fixed sign within every element (fire, earth, air, water). Leo is the fixed one of the fire group, which gives them a hard-headed, resolute, and rock-steady perspective on anything they're attached to. They often get set in their ways and might need extra motivation to change course midstream.
Leo's best personality traits:
Full of life, commanding the spotlight in a way that's sure to entertain, engage, and inspire others, independent-minded, and mesmerizingly fun to be around, you can rely on Leos in your circle to help you see the bright side of any situation and feel fired up and ready to take on the world. They are the positive self- and body image crusaders of the zodiac. They're the charming boss with a big heart who understands a healthy work-life balance is the ultimate key to productivity. They're the friend who will chase relentlessly after a starry-eyed dream they've had since junior high and then actually make it a reality.
Leo's worst personality traits:
Leo's innate self-confidence and bold, take-charge ways can absolutely manifest in a problematic way from time to time. They can be self-focused to a fault, vain, narcissistic, domineering, and greedy. When they lack self-awareness, they can be frustratingly narrow-minded, knee-jerking to unfounded and roaring egomania. They can also descend into a gloomy mood, likely as a result of feeling like they're not getting the attention, credit, or respect they deserve. The fix: perfecting their self-love and self-soothing routine.

What Leos Are Like in Love & Bed
Leo's romance style
If your date has major, pie-in-the-sky dreams about being a New York Times bestselling author or TikTok star, has an Insta grid filled with a notable number of selfies, and a voracious appetite for fancy weekend getaways or, at the very least, the bites from the best restaurants in town, you're likely seeing someone born under the influence of sunny, dynamic, self-assured, charismatic Leo energy. The fire sign is passionate and easily, naturally shines wherever they go, and potential partners or significant others of a Leo will revel in their warm, joyful light. As much as they tend to seek resounding applause from the world, they'll be most content if they feel fawned over by someone they're equally wild about. Embracing life's simplest and grandest moments with a lover they share magical, sparkly chemistry with is the stuff Leo fantasies are made of. Anyone hoping to move forward in a relationship with a Leo would do well to lean into optimism, a love of living, and an appreciation for luxury, as even the most modest lion would adore the regal treatment.
That said, Leo's perfect date is one you might imagine playing out in your favorite rom-com. That might include procuring the most gasp-worthy, gorgeous roses, dinner reservations at the trendiest spot in town, or taking a spontaneous trip to a beach side town that's undeniably cinematic. In less socially-distanced times, tickets to a movie premiere or front row seats at an exciting concert — where they can flaunt their contagious dance moves — would also appeal, and because they love being the star of the show in a group, they'll rarely pass on a party invitation.
RELATED: How to Find the Best Sex Partner for Your Sign, According to a Sexual Astrologer
Leo's sexual style
Leo's showy, romantic vibe is bound to be on full display in the bedroom. Heartfelt compliments are welcome, but physical expression of affection is something the lion can't resist, daydreams about, and craves in any intimate relationship. While their high sex drive makes it possible for them to hook up sans strings, they'll be most content if off-the-charts, chemistry-packed physical, intellectual, emotional attraction and love is a part of the equation. After all, just as with other departments in life, they feel they deserve the whole kit and caboodle in their sexual relationships.
Playful, fun-loving activities that allow their inner, cheerful kid to shine — be that an impromptu dance party or day spent sunbathing poolside — can rev their already intense appetite for sex even higher. Given their love of luxury, a stay at a celeb-loved resort, enjoying a couples' massage at a five-star spa, or splurging on designer lingerie or high thread-count sheets could set the tone, too.
Once they're fully engaged in a sexy throw down, the lion tends to love exhibitionism (think classy-sneaky PDA, mirror-centric poses, or making a cam girl fantasy a reality) and being complimented for their efforts and how they look in the act. They're also vocal, making animalistic, guttural moans and noises, and down to keep the moment playful and interesting by experimenting with various intensities, positions, or toys.
Leo Compatibility
Wondering how Leo matches up with your sign as a friend, a lover, a colleague, or in terms of any other one-on-one relationship? Here, their most simpatico partners as well as clash-prone pairings:

Signs that share the same element tend to be the most in sync (e.g. two earth signs, like Libra and Gemini). But in the case of one fire sign with the other, it can really go to one extreme or the other. Either you'll feel like your companionship breeds mutual passion, creativity, playfulness, and excitement, and/or you could be prone to hotheaded blow-ups, drama, and incessant conflict. Fire is also traditionally compatible with air, as the two elements share certain attributes, like being free-spirited, independent, speedy, and social.
That said, a Leo often sparks with a fellow joie de vivre-filled Sagittarius, active Aries, or romantic Libra.
Least compatible with Leo:
As with most of the zodiac signs, opposites can attract — and Leo and Aquarius often connect on their shared love of socializing. They're both people people. But because both are fixed and tend to dig their heels in, they can find it hard to adapt and compromise in order to find common ground. Plus, Leos have such an intense sense of self while Aquarians are geared to thinking about the universal, communal scheme of things.
Leo is also square (the most challenging angle that can exist between two signs) down-to-earth Taurus and power-seeking Scorpio. Unless they have other positive aspects in their natal charts, Leo can respect these two other fixed signs for their ability to take a position and then see it through, but emotionally, they're too unwavering to enjoy a harmonious connection.
What If You Have Leo Elsewhere in Your Chart?
As mentioned previously, the sun sign is one of many aspects of a natal chart. When you were born, the moon and all the planets in our solar system were in one of the 12 signs and a particular position — all of which help to inform your personality and areas of your life. Here's what it means if Leo shows up in any of the main areas of your chart:
Leo Moon
The moon, which spends about two to three days in each sign, influences your emotions and intuition. If it was in Leo at the time of your birth, you tend to own your feelings and be rather direct and confident in expressing them. And when it comes to matters of the heart, you'll also tend to err toward making unabashedly bold statements and gestures.
Leo Mercury
Mercury, which spends about two to three weeks in a sign, shapes your communication style. If it was in Leo when you were born, you're likely a natural born show person. Commanding the spotlight and leading the charge come naturally to you, especially when called upon to express yourself verbally.

Leo Venus
Venus, which remains in a sign for about three to five weeks, influences how you behave in relationships and how you attract others. If you were born with the planet of love and beauty in Leo, you likely adore showy displays of affection and Hollywood-worthy date nights. Even if you're not literally walking a red carpet, you'll want your partner to help you feel as though you are by showering you in passionate actions and heartfelt words. As for your date night style, a sexy blowout (Leos are all about their manes) is your fast track to feeling like a million bucks, as would be wearing jewel tones or eye-catching statement bling (gold is Leo's go-to metal).
Leo Mars
Mars, which remains in a sign for six or seven weeks, affects your energy, strength, sexual style, and how you experience courage. If you were born while the fiery, dynamic, fighter planet was in fixed, fiery Leo, you're a go-getter who will stop at just about nothing to make your dreams — professional or personal — come true. While tackling a project with others, you'll naturally gravitate to a leadership position or any performative, respect-commanding role. Your colleagues will appreciate that you bring an aggressive but optimistic perspective to the table.
Leo Ascendant (or Rising)
Your ascendant or rising sign influences how you present yourself to the world. As a Cancer ascendant, you come off as positive, cheerful, charismatic, full of joie de vivre, and action-oriented. You're basically sunshine personified.
Upcoming Astrological Highlights for Leo
July 22-August 22: While the sun moves through your sign, you'll get to revel in the annual festival known as your season. You'll feel even more magnetic and psyched to shoot for the stars than usual. This could be a brilliant time to plan a getaway or staycation, embracing all the mid-summer pleasures life has to offer.
RELATED: 7 Times the Moon Will Mess With You in 2020
August 18: The new moon in Leo is a special chance for you to key into a long-term goal and set yourself up for success by mapping out the game plan you'll need to enact to cross the finish. Because the moon forms a harmonizing angle to go-getter Mars, currently holding court in your ninth house of higher education and adventure, you'll be especially fired up to take action to ultimately broaden your horizons.
September 6 - October 2: Venus, the planet of romance, beauty, and money, moves through your sign during this period, making it a lovely time to experiment with your look, connect with loved ones and friends, and get swept up in cinematic-level flirtation and seduction with someone special.
December 19 - May 13, 2021: Jupiter, the planet of fortune and expansion, will move through your seventh house of partnership. (For a recent point of reference, consider what happened from January 5, 2009 to January 17, 2010, as that was the last time the benefic planet spent time in this zone.) The huge planet brings a magnifying effect to anything it touches, so your focus on and fortune within one-on-one relationships will be amplified. If you're single, you could find it's easier to connect and begin to build a life with someone amazing. Existing, happy, healthy partnerships will get a boost from this transit, while those that end can feel like a blessing in disguise, setting you up for a luckier pairing.

Ending the Exploitation of Refugee and Migrant Workers
Catherine Hemingway, WEstjustice
Getting work is the most important step to successful settlement in a new country, says lawyer Catherine Hemingway, but for people who have recently arrived in Australia it can also be the start of a lot of new problems.
"There are so many issues that people face. Underpayment and non-payment, high workplace injury rates, job insecurity, discrimination and bullying, people losing their jobs in unfair situations, people not being aware of their rights or where to go if they have a problem.
"These injustices continue when people are unable to take action."
Catherine is the Policy Director and Employment & Practice Manager at WEstjustice Community Legal Centre in Footscray. When she began her role in 2013 she quickly found that work rights were an area of unmet need for clients.
"Employment law issues were coming up a lot in our work with newly-arrived people, but there are very few community legal centres that offer those services."
To get a fuller picture of the problem, the legal centre began a project to explore and document the working experiences of newly-arrived and refugee communities across Melbourne's west.
"The first stage of the project was research and consultation: we did a literature review, we met with a lot of stakeholders to get an idea of what the problems are, what services are out there, what the unmet needs are and how we can address them."
This preliminary work confirmed that the problems are widespread, and found that the mainstream services offering solutions – the Fair Work Ombudsman, Worksafe – weren't always appropriate for newly-arrived communities. With that in mind, WEstjustice piloted an employment law service and a community legal education programme.
"Over and over again we were hearing that mainstream services are great for clients who are able to use those self-help models, but they weren't accessible for those who were really vulnerable. Some of our clients don't speak much English, some may have experienced torture back home and have a real fear of government agencies.
"We found there to be a real need for face-to-face assistance from a trusted community organisation."
Catherine joined the Melbourne Social Equity Institute's Community Fellows Program in 2016. She took the evidence collected through three years of consultation and trial, conducted a literature review, and used both to make recommendations for changes that could better protect vulnerable workers.
"The Community Fellows Program enabled me to get out of the office and have a space to work on that report. It was very helpful to be in that environment, and to have some relief from my day-to-day duties so that I could really focus on it."
Professor Joo-Cheong Tham (Melbourne Law School) served as academic mentor on the project. Catherine says that his guidance was very helpful.
I had worked closely with Joo-Cheong on other campaigns. He was instrumental in this project from the beginning too – he connected me with other academics and provided guidance on the surveys that we used in the consultation phase.
The result was the 'Not Just Work' report, an evidence base on which WEstjustice have built much of their advocacy work in the years since.
"We really rely on the report when we make submissions.
"That has included advocating to change the Fair Work Act to better protect vulnerable workers. Underpayment is one of the biggest issues that our clients face, but it can be really hard for them to make claims if they haven't kept records of what hours they've worked. The law says that employers must keep a record, but the onus is on our clients to prove their claim.
"Off the back of the report, we lobbied for and were able to get an amendment that said that if employers don't provide those records on request, what the employee says stands in court unless the employer can disprove it. That's had a huge impact in terms of our clients being able to confidently bring claims even if they don't have perfect evidence.
"That was really exciting to be able to work towards that."
Download the Not Just Work Report (PDF)
The employment law service and community legal education program are ongoing at WEstjustice, and the centre has just launched a working group for Victorian community legal centres. Catherine says that as many as ten are now trying to do work in this space.
"There's so much need, it's so specialised and on such short timeframes. The aim of this network is to try to share our knowledge and skills, and to support those centres that are just starting out."
Professor Joo-Cheong Tham said that the feedback he gets from community fellows is that the program fills a real need.
"It's a significant innovation for the university, in terms of fostering collaboration and exchange between academics and civil society."
Catherine agreed. She said that building and sharing knowledge is the best of the university-community organisation relationship.
"That is exactly why initiatives like the Community Fellows Program are so important. Applying academic rigour to the work that we do in the community only strengthens our arguments for change."

RACE REPORT - DAY 1 KAP SANI2C
The KAP sani2c got off to an exciting start with unexpected cool weather and
muddy conditions. It was a Stage 1 win for the DSV Pro Cycling pair Arno du Toit and Gert Heyns in a time of 03:01:07, and dormakaba's Amy McDougall and Robyn de Groot were first in the women's race with 03:26:22.
Photo: Ant Grote / sani2C
The Race starts at Glencairn Farm near Underberg in KwaZulu-Natal. Stage 1 is 82kms to Mackenzie Club near Creighton.
PYGA Euro Steel's Matthys Beukes and Phil Buys were over the line over 4 minutes behind team DSV in a time of 03:04:24. The 22 year old Henry Liebenberg took the first solo rider category finishing with the PYGA Euro Steel duo. (03:05:25). The third team in was Insect Science's Brendan van Eeden and Keagan Bontekoning (03:09:45)
DSV's du Toit: "About 5kms before the floating bridges at the first main climb of the day, we made it quite hard up there just testing everyone out, we thought they [PYGA Euro Steel] would be the main competition. From there on we could use our technical skills to our advantage - Sani is not known as a technical race but the mud made it hardcore technical which really suits us. I just followed Gert, he is probably the best line reader in South Africa."
Heyns: "The slippery conditions made it a bit more more exciting actually, all the trails had pretty good grip for how wet it is. It was more of a mess on the open roads and all the puddles, but we managed to power through them and it looks like we have a good gap."
Matthys Beukes: "The weather conditions were actually perfect. It was smooth riding, there was no dust, its usually winter time and dry and dusty. I struggled to go into the red zone on the first climb and from there on we were just chasing. Arno and Gert were too strong, we did what we could to manage the losses."
Phil Buys: "It was a tough first day, tougher than usual. Arno and Gert had us under pressure from early on so it was difficult to keep it cool and reel in the time.
We missed one turn about 15-20 kms to to the end, we did not lose too much time but it added more pressure. Tomorrow we will have to make up time, it is probably the only day we can make up a lot of time, so we just need to keep it cool and make the right calls tomorrow."
The young Insect Science team take the Young Guns (under 23) category win and were very pleased with their third place overall.
Bontekoning: "Very happy to be in third place. The beginning was very chilled, then it split up to about five teams, then after the first water bridge, on the climb they really started attacking and DSV got away. We rode with PYGA the whole day, they got away at a few places and then on this last climb they got a gap on us."
Van Eeden: "We worked well as a team, managed our effort and looking forward to tomorrow."
The dormakaba women powered through to the finish and were very happy to get the Stage 1 win, with a nearly five minute gap between them and the second women's team in, Galileo Risk Infiniti's Sarah Hill and Theresa Ralph (03:31:14).
The Absolute Demacon team of Kim le Court and Frances Janse van Rensburg were third in a time of 03:36:58.
McDougall: "We had an awesome ride out there, lovely single track and awesome trails, it's always good to take the win. We were all together until the floating bridge; we kept it steady and got a gap from there."
De Groot: "Definitely a tough day in the saddle but a fantastic day. It started off dry and as we hit the track it got wetter and wetter out there."
She said about the gap between them and Galileo Risk Infiniti: "You definitely need to claim what you can especially on a day like today where the weather conditions were perfect. The forecast doesn't look good for tomorrow, and if it does rain it will be a tough day."
Sarah Hill: "We are so muddy right now. We all stuck together for the first quarter of the race. As we started climbing the dormakaba girls put in a nice little attack. We tried to keep them in sight, but we need to remember that we are riding for three days and we can't burn all our matches. That is where Theresa's pacing is incredible. I feel that we raced better on this first day than last year's first day despite the conditions. We came in second and we are still waiting for third to come in, so its a really good day for us."
Ralph: "They [dormakaba] are very strong at the moment, we are forever on their heels. It's phenomenal to have this class of riders, and us in contention with them."
Le Court: "Very muddy and super fun. I loved the trails. It was tough and I'm exhausted, but we will definitely be back in the next few years."
Janse van Rensburg: "The trails were really muddy, I had a bit of a fall into a bush, but I really loved it, it was fun."
Tomorrow's Queen stage takes riders 97kms to Jolivet farm, with the famous descent into the Umkomaas Valley and the "Iconic" climb back out.

NTSB INVESTIGATING OKLAHOMA TRAIN CRASH.
Oklahoma City (AP) - Federal investigators want to know why a freight train streaking across the Oklahoma Panhandle failed to pull into a side track and instead charged down the main line and collided head-on with another train approaching from the opposite direction.
Three Union Pacific Railroad employees perished in the crash.
BRIAN L. STONE, 50, conductor.
The two HALL engineers were not related.
The NTSB said there was "no survivable space" in the locomotives' cabins following the Sunday morning collision.
The Union Pacific trains collided just east of Goodwell, triggering a diesel-fueled fireball that appeared to weld the locomotives together. Two engineers and a conductor perished. Rosekind referred questions to state medical officials but said there was "no survivable space" in the workers' compartments. One conductor jumped from his train and suffered only minor injuries. The NTSB plans to interview him.


In my last post I wrote an epic review of two books that delved into the nature of intelligence and the limits of computation: Gödel, Escher, Bach and The Annotated Turing. Both books sparked all kinds of new ideas about artificial intelligence (AI), especially GEB. I tried to stick to the material in the books for the review, but now it's time to dig in and explore some of the ideas those books spawned in my mind about AI. These ideas boil down to three main questions that define the scope of issues surrounding AI.
What could happen if we create AGI?
These are big, complex questions that plenty of smart people are trying to answer for various applications. The specific reference to artificial general intelligence is there to distinguish it from the numerous examples of artificial narrow intelligence that we already have, such as chess programs, simulations, equation solvers, and search algorithms that do things better than us humans, but only in a narrowly defined task. AGI is a type of intelligence that we have not yet achieved with computers as of yet.
The implications of these questions are fascinating. The answers to the first question will define how we would recognize intelligence and what we're aiming for with AGI. The answer to the second question is almost certainly yes, but much more is behind it than a simple yes/no answer. The emergence of an AGI that meets the answers to the first question would show the positive result of the second question. The answer to the third question is extremely hard to foresee, and the possibilities get extremely gnarly when coupled with the property of exponential growth. The actual result will most likely determine our future as a species. Heavy thoughts. We'll dig into the first question in this post and cover the other two in subsequent posts.
Quite a while ago, I made a list of the best Steve Yegge posts, and one of those posts was his Ten Challenges post on ten recommended books that required thought and dedication to get everything out of them. One of those books was Gödel, Escher, Bach (henceforth referred to as GEB) by Douglas Hofstadter. It wouldn't be the last time Yegge talked about GEB, and it seems that this book had a big influence on his thinking. He certainly gave it glowing praise, and that convinced me to give it a go myself. It is not a book to be read lightly, so I finally made some time to read it and give it my full attention. I was not disappointed.
I tried to pair GEB with a book that attempted to tackle similar topics. You may think that would mean some other book that addresses the nature of intelligence, but I went for a different angle. A significant amount of GEB deals with Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, and that theorem is closely related to the Church-Turing thesis on computability. I'm not sure where I heard about The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold, but I thought it would be a good match for GEB. It turns out that Alan Turing's paper also has much to do with intelligence, both human and artificial, and both books stirred up all kinds of thoughts about the limits and extent of what intelligence is. With that, let's dig in to two incredibly ambitious books.

Windows 2000 users vulnerable to new attack
After an internal team of security experts at Microsoft discovered a security vulnerability in Windows 2000, a patch was developed and released correcting the exploit.
By Victor Latona | August 30, 2000 -- 02:15 GMT (19:15 PDT) | Topic: Security
Users of Microsoft Windows 2000 are subject to a "Local Security Policy Corruption" vulnerability that can boot them off their network, or in a worst case scenario, deny network access to all users in a given domain. Microsoft has issued a free patch to protect users from this new attack. Protect your PC and network with the latest security information and updates.
REDMOND, Wa. - After an internal team of security experts at Microsoft discovered a security vulnerability in Windows 2000, a patch was developed and released correcting the exploit.
The "Local Security Policy Corruption" vulnerability is a denial of service vulnerability that could knock a machine out of a network. Sources at Microsoft say all network operations could be disrupted if the attack was successful against a domain controller.
The vulnerability results from a malicious user being able to corrupt the local security policy-information that sets user permissions on a network - of a PC.
As stated by Microsoft in a recent advisory, "Unprivileged users should not be able to cause any changes in the local security policy on a machine. However, the vulnerability provides a way for a normal user to corrupt parts of it, in order to prevent it from participating in normal network operations."
What's at risk
While the malicious user could not usurp any control over a PC on the network, they could alter security information on a machine and prevent it from participating in the network.
This machine would be isolated from the others and would not be able to access network drives, printers or other network devices.
The security vulnerability becomes more severe if a domain controller were attacked. If successful, login requests from other machines on a network would be denied and the users would be denied service to the domain.
To recover from such an attack Microsoft asserts the only way would be from implementing a working configuration from a backup.
Do I need the patch?
According to Microsoft, "This vulnerability should be taken especially seriously. It could allow a user to significantly disrupt network operations, and restoring an affected machine to normal service would be a time-consuming process."
All users of Windows 2000 that have not installed Windows 2000 SP1 are vulnerable to this type of attack.
Users who have applied SP1 for Windows 2000 need not apply this patch and are currently protected from the "Local Security Policy Corruption" vulnerability.
To protect your PC download either: Windows 2000 SP1 or Windows 2000 "Local Security Policy Corruption" Vulnerability Patch.

Beni Department
Flag with coat of arms
Flag-related departmental anthem
Province of Jose Ballivian
Bolivian subnational flags
The Department of Beni has 8 provinces and 19 municipalities. Provinces are Cercado (which is the province where the capital city is located), Antonio Vaca Diez (or Vaca Diez), General Jose Ballivian Segurola (or Ballivian), Yacuma, Mojos (or Moxos), Marban, Mamore, and Itenez. The Province of Antonio Vaca Diez has two municipalities - Riberalta (the administrative center) and Guayaramerin.
Valentin Poposki, 14 June 2020
The flag of Beni was adopted in the last years and symbolize the landscape of the region. Frequently the shield is in the center.
Jaume Ollé, 02 Nov 1996
There was a plain green flag in the Bolivian flag history, the brief 1854-1855 national flag. Could it have been the source for the dep. flag of Beni?
I was having this in my scope for a long time, but now I found many photos to confirm it. Department of Beni is using green flag with 8 golden stars in a circle, as a second official flag. It can be seen on many photos from the Departmental Chambers. The eight stars represent the eight provinces of Beni.

Color shades are obviously the same as in the Bolivian national flag. Star size is determined by comparing with the Bolivian naval ensign from the same photo - it is obviously the same in both flags. Relative positions of the stars are approximated after the departmental flag seen in the same photo.

This coat of arms, from www.bolivian.com/himnos/beni.html, is much better looking, with brighter colors and clearer design — but it is also slightly different: The several scenes depicted on the divisions of the shield are different in many details, and shows the name of the department on the top of the shield, absent from the other version.
António Martins, 19 January 2000
Second stanza of the departmental hymn, from www.bolivian.com/himnos/beni.html:
El verde que flamea en mi bandera,
emblema de esperanza y de grandeza,
es la imagen del Beni, la riqueza
de esta sierra feliz de promisión.

Jonathan D. Clutter Licensee In Charge
Jonathan is a resident of Jane Lew who attended West Virginia University in preparation for his studies at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science, where he graduated in 2008 as a Licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer, and later became a Licensed Crematory Operator. To develop a comprehensive understanding of the death care industry, he has also worked throughout the state as a preneed funeral consultant, cemetery sales manager, and life insurance agent.
He's owned and operated Clutter Funeral & Cremation in Buckhannon, and the Alkire Funeral Chapel in Ireland since 2016. He enjoys being involved in the community as a board member of the Strawberry Festival, and member of the Jane Lew Lions Club.
"I'm passionate about helping people during their time of need, and sincerely hope that I can help ease their stress and worry. Since working with Pat and Dottie the last couple years, I've enjoyed getting to know the community better and look forward to spending the rest of my career serving the residents of Lewis County and the surrounding areas."
Patrick D. Boyle Licensed Funeral Director
Pat is a life-long resident of Lewis County, knowing as a young teenager, that he wanted to be a funeral director. He graduated from Lewis County High School, Fairmont College, and John Tyler Community College with a B.S. in Mortuary Science. He has been a licensed funeral director-embalmer for over 40 years. He owned and operated Boyle Funeral Home from 1976-2006 and Floyd Funeral Home from 1996-2006. The foundation of his success was based on living by the Golden Rule, to treat others as he would like others to treat himself.
He's currently the President of the Lewis County Commission, where he also serves on the Board of Directors of both the WV County Commission Association and the WV Association of Counties. Pat is a member of the St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Weston Rotary, Lewis County Chamber of Commerce, Jane Lew Lions Club, WV Funeral Directors Association, National Funeral Directors Association, and serves on various boards and volunteer organizations.
Pat believes that everyone has God-given talents, and has always enjoyed helping families in their time of need through Funeral Service. His favorite quote is "Funeral Service is not a job. It's a way of life." During his brief sabbatical, Pat was missing the pleasure and satisfaction that he felt from helping families on such a personal level. So, he decided to return to Funeral Service and give back to the community by building a state-of-the-art facility in Jane Lew with an on-site crematory, that would serve all of North Central West Virginia. "I truly value the trust that you have placed in me over the years, and it will be my honor and privilege to serve you and your family."

Boston, MA (Nov. 29, 2018) – Frequently at children's birthday parties, a guest magician will utter the well-worn phrase "now you see it, now you don't" – and a bouquet of flowers disappears. For many, it's a heartwarming memory. But what does that have to do with insurance? It relates to the vast quantity of questions on an application for commercial lines insurance.
It's daunting for a business owner to come face-to-face with the numerous blanks on an insurance application. Much of the required information is not immediately at hand – or not understood at all. For distributors, the familiarity with the content is certainly there – at least for seasoned personnel. But the time it takes to fill empty boxes keeps them away from more value-added interactions with customers. On the other side of the transaction, company underwriters need information to price and underwrite the risk. For a very long time, the industry has been at a stalemate. A conundrum? Not any longer.
Enter data prefill and new data sources. Data prefill certainly isn't new – personal lines insurers have employed it for some time. But the impetus to utilize the capabilities in commercial lines has not been present until now. Business owners require a simpler application process and distributors need to be freed from clerical tasks. Undertaking a data prefill initiative may be a simple decision for some organizations – but for others it may be a challenge. In either instance, SMA has a five-step analysis process (Why, Who, How, Where, and What) that can guide any organization looking at data prefill. It's important to approach the initiative with a measured assessment to assure a successful outcome even if everyone is already on board with data prefill.
Given the press that organizations such as Cake Insure and Pie Insurance have received, it might be easy to assume that data prefill is all about small business and workers' compensation. Clearly, there are significant opportunities in the small business arena to condense insurance applications down to three, four, or five pieces of data. Evan Greenburg, CEO of Chubb, has declared that the current 30 questions in small business applications will be condensed to around seven questions in the upcoming 18 months. However, it would be a mistake to assume that data prefill is just about one commercial lines segment.
In fact, insurers covering all but the most complex jumbo commercial lines have an amazing opportunity to utilize the same data integration techniques for data prefill to automatically integrate data into more complex lines of business – to improve data accuracy and thus drive profitability. Regardless of the line of business or size of the business insured, augmenting application data with new, emerging data can support underwriters in their decision making. And, perhaps it can eliminate the need to obtain information from business owners and distributors and promote a much greater degree of accuracy. SMA's recently released report, Transformation in Commercial Lines: The Five Steps for Data Prefill, provides a view of this.
And this brings us back to "now you see it, now you don't" and the disappearing questions on commercial lines applications. Having spent a long time as an underwriter, I recognize that it is unsettling to think about losing the data elements that one has relied on to make decisions. However, with data prefill, that data can be found and utilized in many ways: eliminating questions on applications for small businesses and prefilling internal systems for more accurate decisions on complex lines. No one will be deprived of data – the source will just be different – an insurance magician's answer to several challenges!
