PPV-06: Anti-IL-6 immunotherapy
Peptinov's anti-IL-6 immunotherapy is now its most advanced product and is ready for pre-clinical and clinical development.
PPV-06 test results have demonstrated:
– a protective effect in a mouse systemic sclerosis model (published results),
– induction of neutralizing anti-human IL-6 antibodies after immunizations in rabbits,
– induction of significant levels of anti-human IL-6 antibodies and of a protective effect against the inflammation linked to the Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity response in monkeys using a peptide sequence which is identical in monkey and human IL-6 (Desallais et al., Sci Rep, 2016).
Peptinov's PPV-06 anti-IL-6 immunotherapy was successfully evaluated in a regulatory toxicity study which took place in 2018.
Why IL-6? IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, whose overproduction has been involved in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis or Horton's disease. IL-6 has already been validated as a relevant therapeutic target for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Several monoclonal antibodies targeting such as Actemra (tocilizumab, anti-IL-6R antibody) or Sylvant (siltuximab, anti-IL-6 antibody) are already approved for the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or Castleman's disease. Furthermore, the role of IL-6 in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis has been established.
PPV-01: Anti-IL-1b immunotherapy
IL-1b is a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose overproduction has been involved in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, CAPS syndromes or atopic dermatitis. Targeting IL-1b has also been validated as a relevant therapeutic strategy, as demonstrated by the development of anakinra or canakinumab.
– protective effect in a mouse rheumatoid arthritis model,
– induction of neutralizing anti-human IL-1 antibodies after immunizations in rhesus monkeys.
PPV-03: Anti-IL-23p19 immunotherapy
IL-23 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose overproduction has been involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis or Crohn's disease. The use of ustekinumab for the treatment of psoriasis has validated IL-23 as a relevant therapeutic target. IL-23 is composed of two sub-units: IL-23p19, which is specific to IL-23, and IL-23p40 which is shared by IL-12.
– induction of neutralizing anti-human IL-23 antibodies after immunizations in rabbits.
Grant applications are underway to fund continued development.

Our T-Light shoes are something sort of special and are ideal for those in Aviation and Ground Handling. Why? For a few simple reasons.
Firstly, they are completely metal free, which make them fantastic for airports and security. If you work in an airport you don't want to have to continually take your shoes on and off numerous times throughout the day, and this is just me getting started.
The T-light is metal free as it has a fibreglass toe-cap. Not only does this make the T-light lightweight, it still protects your toes to the same impact as a steel toe cap at 200 joules. Another benefit of the T-light's fibreglass toe-cap is that it inevitably leads to more comfort for the wearer due to it's lightness.
Everybody wants to be comfortable at work, especially if you're walking around airports or airplanes all day. That's why the T-light was crafted with a "plasmafeel" lining. This lining adds high levels of comfort for the wearer as it is exceptionally soft. It also adds softness at the toecap as well as breathability to the shoe. We know comfort here at integra.boot, trust us.
Our T-light shoes come in sizes 2-13, which make them ideal for female and male workforce. The smaller sizes (size 2-6) are manufactured on a female last. As women's feet are different shaped to men's, this means that the fit is more comfortably shaped to their feet. Don't worry if you're a man with small feet though, I can assure you that you won't be able to tell the difference.
The T-light is water repellent which means that if you're caught in a light rain shower, you can be comfortable knowing that your feet have some protection against the elements. The shoes are also highly slip resistant, with an SRC sole which is the highest available slip resistance available.
On top its SRC (which you can read about here) classification, the T-light was manufactured with a double density PU sole (you can read about sole units in our blog here). This means that the T-light has a softer layer that is more comfortable and lasts longer, contributing to the durability of this safety shoe.
The T-light is made with Full Grain Leather, which doesn't only make it a nice safety shoe to look at but also high quality. It also boasts a Texon Pierce Resistant midsole, protecting your feet and adding yet again to the lightness and comfort of the T-light as this is another completely metal free feature of the safety shoes.
Due to the T-Lights high levels of comfort, durability and lightweight features, it is a versatile safety shoe and can be worn as a dress or work shoe. This means that the T-Light is suitable for employees in a range of different roles in any one company.
If you need any more convincing, read below what Oguz Gelhasan, an Aircraft Engineer for KLM and Air France Industries had to say about our T-light shoes, and how they lead to him enjoying his work again.
So what are you waiting for? Contact our safety footwear specialists and start your journey with integra.boot today!

Whether you have moved into a new home or if you are planning on changing the whole look of your house. There are some well-known ideas on how to transform your home to look good. There are many ways on how you can change little things into something big and nice. You can even add an extra mirror or a painting or even add few touches here and there to the wall. Below are some of the tips and tricks on how to design your home cleverly.
Any architectural builder will suggest painting smaller rooms in lighter colors to make it look big and spacious. Certain rooms that are colored in dark colors may look all cramped. However, if you paint the walls with light colors and add huge windows, it will let the natural light flow in and make the room look much bigger and spacious and it might even give some optical illusion of some space. When it comes for darker colors, it will make the room look smaller.
Customer home builders will build your house exactly the way you want it. Mirrors are one of the best decorative thing to be used at any home and it gives quiet a nice touch as well and it will even make the space look bigger and brighter. For best natural light to flow in, it's always best to place the mirrors directly across the windows. You can even add mirrors to fill in any empty walls and fill the gaps. These will add a proper dimension to your living space or any room in your house. You can even add pretty lights around your house to brighten it up.
When it comes for mixing textures and patters, you can do anything you want with it since you can mix and match it. There's actually nothing wrong in adding some colorful designs to the wall or even place some fun things around the house. You have to make sure that your house represents who you are, your personality and your style as well. You can even add antique items in the living room or in the shelves. Or even a modern couch that caught your eyes. Every little thing that you place inside your home should tell a little story and represent you as well. You can even add a little art on the walls to make it even bright and give an artistic look.
Selecting items to install as parts of your building is something you have to do with great care. Putting a building together to have a beautiful appearance as well as a great value is not an easy task. It requires a lot of planning. Therefore, you have to be careful with your choices whenever you are selecting parts for that building. Especially, when it comes to a part like an entrance portal you have to be extremely careful as that is a very important feature which appears in a lot of parts of the building. You should never choose an entrance portal just because you like it. For example, you might like the look of bifold windows Brisbane. However, if it does not go with the space where you are going to install it, choosing it is going to be a bad decision. Therefore, before you make up your mind about selecting an entrance portal you have to consider a number of facts.
You have to pay attention to the design of the entrance portal you select. You have to see if that design goes with your property. For example, if your building is created following a more traditional architecture design choosing a modern design for these portals will be a bad decision. They will not go well with each other. The design you choose has to always have a common theme with the architecture of the space to which you will install this feature.
Size matters too. For example, you can fall in love with some aluminium bifold doors Brisbane which go perfectly well with a space you have. However, if you do not pay attention to the size of the entrance portal you want to have for that space you can end up buying something that is either too small or too large for the entrance.
It is important to use the service of a qualified professional for the installation process of these entrance portals. We do not have experience or knowledge about installing these items to a space. That means we have to get the help of a qualified professional if we do not want to damage those items or the rest of the property during the installation process. Other than all of these facts, you have to always keep in mind to make subtle adjustments to the entrance portals if necessary once you have installed them.

The biggest benefit in a renovation is that it causes a spike in your property value but that's not the only benefit out there.With renovations, you can increase the energy efficiency of your house and hence decrease the bill value. Upgrading your lights, fixtures, insulating the home and installing a water recycling system are a good way to save resources. You would also be able to decrease your carbon footprint by switching to eco-friendly and advanced systems. These installations would definitely be worth it in the long run despite the initial expenses and would completely modernize your home. Moreover, you can even expand your space through renovations, many people tend to move out and find a better place simply because they don't like their current home, but they don't realize that they can achieve a house that looks absolutely ravishing by simply re-modeling. This is definitely a much cheaper solution rather than buying a place.
If you want, you can give the whole place a makeover but some people can't really afford to make such big changes at once, so they tend to renovate one place at a time. This would still increase their home value and decrease the utility bill values slightly while they stay within their budget. But as easy as it sounds, it can be difficult to decide as to which aspect of the house needs the most changes.
The kitchen and bathroom would probably need more changes than the other places as it is frequently used and is the place that consumes most of your power. From there on, it's basically up to you to decide which of the two you would prefer. If you are someone who spends most of your time in the kitchen then a kitchen renovation would be great but if you are someone who prefers to have a beautiful bathroom, then go ahead with improving that.
One thing to keep in mind is that you should keep things simple regardless of what you want to do, whether it's a bathroom renovations Wantirna South or a kitchen.
Add features that would be beneficial for the house and to you and not just focus on improving it in terms of aesthetics.Take factors such as convenience also into the equation and take your friend's opinion into consideration. You might be the one living but they would probably be able to spot issues with the place much easier as they aren't accustomed to the place like you.
There are homes whose paint are not good for kids. The paint may peel from the wall and children can eat it. Chipped paint can be tempting for children to put in their mouths and become hazardous for their health. In the past years, lead-based paints became popular. However, it has been found out that it can cause serious health issues. If you are worried that the paint at your haven contains lead, consider repainting it. In some cases, you might want to knock down the walls and install new ones to make sure that there are no traces of lead paint.
Check the temperature of your water heater and other home extensions Sydney and make sure to turn it down. Put the water heater at 11 degrees only when the baby is inside the home. With this, you can prevent the baby or anyone in the family from burning himself accidentally. In a nutshell, there are various places in the home that you need to check to make sure that the babies are safe. As your kids grow up, it is best to reevaluate the parts of your home because the needs of the babies change through the years. To aid you in your decisions, you can hire the services of the home renovation experts. They can give professional advice with regards to your plans and execute them accordingly.

Appeals Court Rules Segregation of Trans Student Violates State Constitution, Civil Rights Law
Megumi Rierson megumi.rierson@genderjustice.us, 612-910-8176
Lynette Kalsnes lkalsnes@aclu-mn.org, 612-270-8531
SAINT PAUL, MINN - Today, the state Court of Appeals found that it is a violation of both the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution for school districts to segregate transgender students from their peers in locker room facilities.
In February of 2019, Gender Justice, the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota and the law firm Stinson LLP, asserted that the Anoka-Hennepin School District violated the state Constitution's right to equal protection and the Minnesota Human Rights Act by barring N.H., who was on the boys' swimming team, from using the locker room that matched his identity. Instead, the district singled him out and forced him to use a segregated locker room all by himself, leading to bullying and threats against his family.
A district court judge rejected Anoka-Hennepin's attempt to dismiss the case, and instead forwarded it to the appeals court, which found it is unlawful to segregate a boy from his peers just because he is transgender.
"... the MHRA's education provision protects the rights of any student to use locker rooms without discrimination. The MHRA prohibits discrimination 'in the full utilization of or benefit from any education … services rendered,' " Court of Appeals Judge Reyes wrote in the ruling.
"... It is difficult to imagine how requiring only the transgender student to use a separate locker room would not stigmatize that student," the ruling said
"I never want any student to experience the discrimination and cruelty I experienced from the adults at my school," said plaintiff N.H. "It means a lot to see that courts protect transgender students like me. Today's decision makes it very clear that segregating trans students doesn't just dehumanize us, it violates our legal rights."
"Today's decision is a critical victory in our fight for safe schools for every trans student," said Gender Justice's Legal Director Jess Braverman. "The decision is clear: Segregating trans students is a violation of the Minnesota Constitution and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Every student, including transgender students, should feel safe and supported at school."
This is the second such lawsuit filed against the district -- it was still under a five-year consent decree to deal with anti-LGBTQ harassment when officials discriminated against the trans teen in this case.
"It is shameful that Anoka Hennepin School District had to be sued once again over its discrimination against LGBTQ students," said ACLU-MN staff attorney David McKinney. "Hopefully, the district will now do the right thing and embrace transgender-inclusive policies, rather than ostracizing students and depriving them of equal access to education."
A team of attorneys from Stinson LLP, led by Tim Griffin and Andy Davis, were part of N.H.'s legal team.

Koree Films' Newest Project Showcases Egypt's Natural Splendours
Egypt's Historic Al-Fustat to Be Transformed into Huge Open-Air Museum
Inside Egypt's Seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites
'Egyptscapes' is Koree Films' newest video project showcasing the country's mesmerizing White Desert.
Farah Ibrahim VIEW ALL ARTICLES BY Farah Ibrahim
In 2012, Egypt stood at a turning point in its history, as the broken promise of new beginnings left us feeling lost. For one Egyptian, Abdel Rahman Gabr (who also comes from Korean heritage) the images being beamed out to the world and the fake news circulated didn't sit well with him - and so he started a project out of his passion for photography: Egypt HD.
"During that time there were a lot of bad vibes and negative media portrayals of our country, and I wanted to show the different side of Egypt - even to other Egyptians," he told #SceneTraveller. "The best and cheapest way to accomplish that was via time-lapse." The video went viral and Gabr received messages from across the world expressing, not just the beauty of his work, but the longing for Egypt to return to its former glory.
Fast forward nine years later and Gabr is a Sony Ambassador and accomplished figure in photography and filmmaking. Hoping to bring things full circle nearly a decade later, his latest time-lapse project, 'Egyptscapes' also showcases Egypt's hidden gems.
Teaming up with Citroen Egypt, Gabr took to the desert for four nights to capture the beautiful natural landscapes of the White Desert and the Milky Way. One sequence of the night's sky uses eight hours of footage, and is edited into just 10 seconds of video. "It's a very hard operation but in the end, it's rewarding. Especially when I'm in the desert in July and August which is the best time to shoot the milky way."
The final project is still yet to be completed, but with three months of work behind him, Gabr hopes to finish it by March 2022.

Pineville Elementary is the smallest public school in the area but finds itself in the largest school district on the coast. The Pineville school has been around for decades and due to the small amount of students that attend it almost closed several years ago. Why keep it open? This school offers private school size classrooms for local children and limits their time traveling to and from school each day. As a matter of fact, there is only one grade that offers more than one teacher - 1st grade. Each class at Pineville ranges between 10 students and 20 students typically with one teacher, an aide, and a head teacher who travels from class to class. The Pineville school also offers two playgrounds, a heated and cooled gym, a baseball field, library, and tennis courts.
Harrison County School District is the largest school district on the Coast and they have a lot to be excited about in 2015-2016 school year. The election is over and the new Superintendent is taking over the helm. We are excited to see what Roy Gill will bring to our communities.

Matthew Poyner was a brother, son and friend - a healthy 16-year-old from Great Falls, Virginia. On February 24, 2015, Matt died unexpectedly of acute viral myocarditis. Matt was a caring and compassionate soul. To know him was to know unconditional love and friendship; it was reflected in his infectious smile and his warm personality. Matt was a natural athlete, a supportive teammate, a quiet leader and a serious competitor on the baseball diamond, the basketball court and along the links.
The Matthew Vernon Poyner Memorial Foundation (MVP Memorial Foundation) grew out of grief and inspired by #poynerstrong. Its mission is to preserve and promote Matt's legacy - his compassion for others, dedication to excellence, and love of competition through organized sports. The foundation honors:
Matt's competitive spirit and dedication to excellence - leadership scholarships are awarded to college bound seniors at area high schools in communities that supported him in his formative years.
Matt's compassionate spirit - support is granted to charitable pursuits that speak to Matt's deep sense of patriotism and his desire to support Veterans and their families.
Matt's life - grants are awarded for medical research into early detection and treatment of myocarditis in otherwise healthy young people.
Matt anticipated his future with joy and high hopes that many of his dreams would be fulfilled. Matt's foundation exists to celebrate Matt's love of life, his compassion for others and his competitive spirit.

Q: Issue with MultiThreading and sound After looking online, I found simple examples of a class that shows three or so threads working simultaneously. But I cannot seem to incorporate this into my program. I am making a sound board that utilizes keys 1-9 on the number pad, and is supposed to play a sound bit when pressed, but still allowing other keys to initiate sounds being pressed or recognizing its been released and stop playing. But even though (I think) i have a multi thread system set up, one thread takes complete control of the program, playing one audio file to completion.
Here is the meat of the program: a simple Frame  that implements Runnable, and is created and started in the Launcher class. It has "circle" objects that display a red circle in the place of the number pad on the frame, and changes to blue if the corresponding number is pressed. It also contains a SoundButton ArrayList that implements Runnable.
Frame:
public class Frame extends JFrame implements Runnable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Pane pane;
private ArrayList<Circle> c;
private ArrayList<SoundButton> SB;
private KeyManager keyManager;

public Frame(ArrayList<SoundButton> soundButton){

    keyManager = new KeyManager();
    this.addKeyListener(keyManager);
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    this.getContentPane().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
    this.pack();
    this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

    pane = new Pane();
    this.add(pane);

    c = new ArrayList<Circle>();
    SB = soundButton;

    c.add(new Circle(20, 140));
    c.add(new Circle(80, 140));
    c.add(new Circle(140, 140));
    c.add(new Circle(20, 80));
    c.add(new Circle(80, 80));
    c.add(new Circle(140, 80));
    c.add(new Circle(20, 20));
    c.add(new Circle(80, 20));
    c.add(new Circle(140, 20));

    this.setVisible(true);
}

public void init(){
    pane.draw(c);
}

public void update(){
    pane.draw(c);
    keyManager.update();
    if(keyManager.isNine()){
        c.get(8).press();
        SB.get(0).start();
    }
    else{
        c.get(8).release();
        SB.get(0).stop();
    }
    if(keyManager.isEight()){
        c.get(7).press();
        SB.get(1).start();

    else{

        SB.get(1).stop();
    }
    if(keyManager.isSeven()){

    }
    if(keyManager.isFour()){
        c.get(3).press();
    }
    else{
        c.get(3).release();
    }
    if(keyManager.isThree()){
        c.get(2).press();
    }
    else{
        c.get(2).release();
    }
    if(keyManager.isTwo()){

    int fps = 60;
    double timePerUpdate = 1000000000/fps;
    double delta = 0;
    long now;
    long lastTime= System.nanoTime();
    long timer = 0;
    int updates = 0;

    while(true){
        now = System.nanoTime();
        delta += (now - lastTime) / timePerUpdate;
        timer+= now - lastTime;
        lastTime = now;

        if(delta >= 1){
            update();
            updates ++;
            delta--;
        }

        if(timer >= 1000000000){
            //System.out.println("Updates and Frames: "+ updates);
            updates = 0;
            timer = 0;
        }

    }
}

}
SoundButton:
public class SoundButton implements Runnable{

private AudioPlayer sound;
private boolean running = false;
private Thread thread;

public SoundButton(String path){
    sound = new AudioPlayer(path);
}
@Override
public void run() {

}

public synchronized void start(){
    if(running){
        return;
    }
    else{
    running = true;
    thread = new Thread(this);
    thread.start();
    sound.play();
    }
}

public synchronized void stop(){
    if(!running)
        return;
    running = false;
    sound.stop();
    try {
        thread.join();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

}

Launcher:
public class Launcher {

public static void main(String[] args){
    ArrayList<SoundButton> SB = new ArrayList<SoundButton>();
    SB.add(new SoundButton("/sound/sound1.mp3"));
    SB.add(new SoundButton("/sound/sound2.mp3"));
    Frame f = new Frame(SB);
    Thread t = new Thread(f);
    t.start();

}

}

and if it is needed, my AudioPlayer class:
public class AudioPlayer

{
    private Clip clip;
public AudioPlayer(String s)
{
    try
    {
        AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(
                                getClass().getResourceAsStream(s));

            AudioFormat baseFormat = ais.getFormat();
            AudioFormat decodeFormat = new AudioFormat(
                    AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED,
                    baseFormat.getSampleRate(),
                    16,
                    baseFormat.getChannels(),
                    baseFormat.getChannels() * 2,
                    baseFormat.getSampleRate(),
                    false
                    );

        AudioInputStream dais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(
                                decodeFormat, ais);
        clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        clip.open(dais);

    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public void play()
{
    if (clip == null)
    {
        System.out.print("null");
        return;
    }
    stop();
    clip.setFramePosition(0);
    clip.start();
    System.out.println("Drain...");
    clip.drain();
    System.out.println("...Drained");
}
public void stop()
{
    if (clip.isRunning())
    {
        clip.stop();
    }
}
public void close()
{
    stop();
    clip.close();
}

}

A: It is a simple fix, move sound.play() in the start method in SoundButton to the run method instead of in the start method.

Collective bargaining refers to all negotiations between trade unions and employers for determining working conditions and terms of employment, including issues related to pay and working time, and for regulating relations between employers and workers (ILO Convention 154).
Collective bargaining, the core of organised industrial relations, takes place in different institutional settings. National systems vary in terms of the respective roles of collective bargaining and legislation in regulating the labour market, in the levels at which bargaining is conducted (cross-sectoral, sectoral, company and workplace, regional, occupational), and in the way in which negotiations at different levels may interrelate (articulation). The degrees of centralisation and coordination of collective bargaining – and especially pay bargaining – are important features of the system, with implications for both labour market and macroeconomic outcomes. The outcome of collective bargaining is typically a collective agreement. Such agreements can regulate both the procedures for relations between the signatory parties and the terms and conditions of employment of those workers covered by the agreement, such as pay and working time.
While the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union recognises the autonomy of social partners, in particular in relation to pay bargaining, EU policies nevertheless exert a significant influence on collective bargaining and the wider industrial relations system. One example are the country-specific recommendations (CSRs) in the framework of the European Semester, which have addressed issues such as aligning pay developments with productivity, minimum wage-setting and pay indexation systems. More generally, collective bargaining takes place within a framework which is, in part, set by EU legislation, including provisions concerning equal pay for work of equal value and the requirements of the Working Time Directive and related legislation.

Eurofound's work
Eurofound collects country-level information on collective bargaining in the EU through its Network of Eurofound Correspondents. Across the EU, collective bargaining coverage is very diverse, as Eurofound research shows. About 60% of employees are covered by collective bargaining in the EU, but this ranges from 80% or more in some countries to less than 10% in others (European Commission data).
Key contributions
Eurofound's working life country profiles outline the collective bargaining systems in the 28 EU Member States and Norway.
Closely linked to the profiles is the database of wages, working time and collective disputes, providing regular updates on the pay and working time setting systems in place in each country and including data on the level of collectively agreed pay or working time.
Eurofound's report on collective bargaining in Europe in the 21st century maps developments over a 15-year period in the main aspects of collective bargaining – apart from pay and working time, which are analysed separately. The study aims to map long-term trends and identify changes brought about as a result of the crisis.
Furthermore, the series 'Developments in working life in Europe: EurWORK annual review' presents up-to-date collective bargaining information.
Collective bargaining on pay
Eurofound reports regularly on pay developments across the EU, monitoring how pay outcomes are adjusted in line with changes in economic circumstances.
National wage-bargaining institutions are crucial in achieving pay outcomes that help to increase employment and economic growth. Using a large set of empirical macroeconomic data from various sources, Eurofound's report on pay in Europe in different wage-bargaining regimes analyses how the institutional features of national wage bargaining regimes influence pay outcomes.
A study on pay in Europe in the 21st century provides comparative time series on wage bargaining outcomes across the EU Member States and Norway. In doing so, it discusses pay developments against the background of different wage bargaining regimes and looks into the link between pay and productivity developments.
Collective bargaining on working time
Eurofound monitors the nature and extent of the role of collective bargaining in determining working time across the Member States, taking into account that bargaining takes place at different levels (intersectoral, sectoral, company) and that bargaining coverage varies considerably by country.
Research on working time developments in the 21st century looks at work duration and its regulation in the EU. The report examines the main trends and milestones characterising the evolution of the most important aspects of collectively agreed working time in the EU during the first decade of the 21st century.
Eurofound also produces a bi-annual report on the major developments in working time in the EU and Norway based on national reporting. It provides a general overview of the present status of the duration of working time as a result of collective bargaining, and complements the database of wages, working time and collective disputes.
Survey data on collective wage agreements in Europe
Eurofound's European Company Survey (ECS) gathers data on collective wage agreements and looks at the extent to which establishments are covered by collective bargaining at any level. It examines the level of information provision, consultation and negotiation in establishments and also looks at the influence of employee representation and social dialogue at company level.

Charity season continues and Jones Magazine was on the scene on May 21st for The River Fund New York's annual Hunger to Hope Spring fundraiser at hot spot Tao Downtown. The event, which was held on Child Poverty Awareness Day, featured an open bar, music by Harry Dana, and a spirited live auction with items up for bid being backpacks filled with 1 years worth of school supplies. At $25 a backpack attendees were bidding on 100 to 500 backpacks at a time.
We spoke to attendee Kaelen Haworth, one of 10 designers in the CFDA's incubator program.
Jones Magazine: What brings you out to the event?
Haworth: A lot of our friends are involved in The River Fund (Spencer Potts and Mike Tiedemann) and they managed to bring all of us into this world. When we first started coming to this event it was still really small and we were learning about The River Fund and how they were growing – it's such a grassroots program. People keep coming back every year because it's so impressive to see how much it grows every year and how much they actually do.
Jones Magazine: You're a designer. Tell us about your line?
Haworth : It's a women's wear line. I started about 5 years ago and it's all made in New York City.
Jones Magazine: This is quite the event. What do you think of the fashion?
Haworth: Everyone always gets really dressed up and they put a lot of effort into the outfits for The River Fund gala, it's really nice. Everyone looks really beautiful.


> how to change current output of a stepper motor controller board (e.g. TB6560)?
I have just started exploring with TB6560 one direction controller board, my setup is an arduino UNO with a 3A 12V power supply. however, my 125oz 3A stepper motor can only receive 0.4A maximum. I thought the board will automatically give the amount of current that stepper motor can maximum take. At this point, anyone have any suggestions about how to make the TB6560 board give out more current to my stepper motor?
Re: how to change current output of a stepper motor controller board (e.g. TB6560)?
There are instructions for setting up the current limit.
which then limits your current to 0.8A and when the motor is running, it will result in 0.4A. If you could hold the motor shaft by hand, I think it will go up to close to 0.8A then.
So I think you now know what to modify, don't you?
Thanks rpt007 and Tom. that is really useful information. Problem solved!
HOW did you solve it exactly?
Pls think of all newbies who might run in a similar situation and your precise solution description might avoid wasting time of everybody guessing around what might solve the issue.

More confirmation that NGOs work with big meat packers
Hauling Somalis from city to city
I really didn't need more confirmation, but Allahsoldier commenting at my earlier post, said that he couldn't wait for another story on Somalis. I said I could find and post another pronto. It took me all of about 5 minutes from answering Allah… to get this post started! And, what a coincidence it's about Somalis in Kansas as was my post this morning.
A report from Kansas State University about the work of, Laszlo Kulcsar, a sociolgy professor working on immigrant integration:*
"I started out looking at how predominantly white communities, even with some historical diversity, embraced new immigrant workers," Kulcsar said. "This is a big deal in Kansas because there really isn't a universal practice for that. What was found was that there is no good model, just more questions."
Along with Albert Iaroi, K-State doctoral student in sociology from Romania, Kulcsar also looked at Emporia, a city away from the meatpacking triangle in southwest Kansas but also with a large concentration of minority workers.
"Emporia has a well-established Hispanic community already because they came to work on the railroad 100 years ago," Kulcsar said. "In 2006, though, Tyson brought about 700 Somalis to Emporia to work at its meatpacking plant."
With the Somalis came a new culture and religion, vastly different from that of the Hispanics, the dominant minority at the time.
Despite the fact that all the Somali workers carried legal work permits, researchers found many in the community rejected these new workers because of their outsider culture. At the same time they began to view the Mexicans as regular, hardworking people.
"It started to become 'good immigrants' versus 'bad immigrants' based on visible things like skin color, dress and religious practices," Kulcsar said. "Somalis are black; they are Muslim. The Mexicans, even though they have a different culture and language, are still Christians."
There was also the difference in customs, Kulcsar said. The Somalis traveled in large groups, a customary practice in their country due to safety. Although women hold positions of authority in Emporia, the Somali workers often did not obey them since only men in Somalia are authority figures.
"Nobody told the Somalis you don't do these things in America, and nobody told the local government about their customs and religion in advance, so nobody told the community members. The question became, 'whose job is it to educate the refugees and community,'" Kulcsar said. "This was a troubling finding because these larger actors — corporations and nongovernmental charity organizations playing an important part in the settlement of the Somalis — failed to communicate with the city government."
As community members in Emporia questioned the city's role in this process, they found they were given no advance information about it, Kulcsar said.
Here it is, big meat packers helped by outside organizations!
This below can only refer to federal contractors like the Leftwing do-gooders at Catholic Charities, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, and Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society among others.
"Immigrants are not showing up for work in a random fashion; in many cases national organizations are working with large corporations to bring these people here for jobs," Kulcsar said.
For new readers we followed the whole controversy almost from start to finish a couple of years ago in Emporia, KS and have a whole category on it here.
* Reader Khadra, commenting on another Somali "village" in Kansas tells us Somalis have no intention of integrating, assimilating, or whatever we want to call it, here.
Obama's Auntie Zeituni Onyango tells her story
Via Gateway Pundit, here is the latest news about Obama's illegal-immigrant aunt from an exclusive interview at WBZ in Boston.
"If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen." Those are the words from 58-year-old Zeituni Onyango of Kenya in a recent exclusive interview with WBZ-TV.
Onyango is the aunt of President Barack Obama. She lived in the United States illegally for years, receiving public assistance in Boston.
Aunt Zeituni, as she has come to be known, first surfaced in the public light in 2008, in the final days of the Presidential election. Then-candidate Obama said that he was not against the possible deportation of his aunt. "If she has violated laws, then those laws have to be obeyed," he told CBS's Katie Couric. "We are a nation of laws."
Onyango had violated the law, and she knew it.
"I knew I had overstayed" she told WBZ-TV's Jonathan Elias when the two sat down one-on-one.
Here's where your tax money is going:
For two years Onyango said she lived in a homeless shelter, before she was assigned public housing despite thousands of legal residents also awaiting assistance. "I didn't take any advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me."
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system," she said unapologetically.
And she's right. The system provided her assistance despite her status as an illegal immigrant.
Here's something notable. Obama's father's family seems to be both Muslim and non-Muslim as far as I can find out. The WBZ article continues:
Onyango hired a top immigration lawyer from Cleveland to help fight her case. We asked how she afforded that lawyer, when she claimed poverty.
"When you believe in Jesus Christ and almighty God, my help comes from heaven," she responded.
As with Obama, one can't help asking what she really believes. She seems like a sharp woman, but not necessarily an honest or straightforward one. But I never can help laughing at the idea that Obama has an ounce of compassion when he lets not only his Auntie but his brother George and various other relatives live in poverty without even a word of regret or encouragement.
There's more at the above link including a video of the interview.
Our previous posts about Auntie Zeituni are here.
Update, 9/24: Here is part 2 of the interview.
No new election for Kansas City candidate alleging possible voter fraud…
….in a case involving a number of Somali voters.
Here is a story a few weeks old now (Hat tip: Joyce) that raises questions about immigrant voting irregularities and shows me that election judges must be too inimidated to question unusual behavior by immigrants.
A Jackson County judge ruled late Tuesday that a Missouri House candidate who officially lost by three votes is not entitled to a new election.
But a re-count in the hotly contested 40th District primary to represent the Northeast area of Kansas City will commence at 9 a.m. today. The official count in the August election had John Joseph Rizzo winning 667 to 664 over Will Royster.
Some said a Somali man had helped others vote, sometimes going into the voting area and pointing to ballots, even though the voters had not filled out special cards designated for voters needing assistance.
Royster's petition had stated that a man who identified himself as an interpreter for a group of Somalis stood over them as they looked at ballots and told them how to cast their votes. Royster's attorney, Phil Willoughby, had said the only solution to the situation was a new election.
New election was denied.

Book about refugees is Maryland "one book"
Your tax dollars
Yesterday I learned from Cindy that "Outcasts United" had been chosen earlier this year as the "One Maryland, One book" being promoted by the Maryland Humanities Council.
The book by author Warren St. John is billed as an "inspirational" story about how refugee boys in Clarkston, Georgia overcome the odds (which includes a town unhappy with the arrival of large numbers of refugees) to play soccer under a strict coach. If you don't want to read the book, you can get the gist of it from reviews at Amazon, but I warn you that virtually all the reviewers are thrilled with what sounds like just another sports underdog story with a multiculturalism is beautiful message.
More importantly though, at least for me, is the question of what is up with this "one book" thing where everyone in the state is supposed to be reading a book of the year chosen by those with a leftwing view of the world….and then we pay for what is clearly indoctrination with our tax dollars. It kind of gives me the creeps!
Note to all those claiming we need to cut the budget at both the state and federal level—I got about a million and a half dollars right here to start with!
Check out the most recent Form 990 for the Maryland Humanities Council, here. Note that $1.3 million of the funds for this program come from government grants. Tracing that back further, the source of most of that government money (your tax dollars) comes from the National Endowment for the Humanities, here. Maryland taxpayers add to the kitty through the Department of Education.
By the way, the Maryland Humanities Council spent $9000 to influence legislators into awarding them more funding. Imagine what the Founding Fathers would say about a federal role in all of this.
The One Maryland, One Book indoctrination project only cost taxpayers $198,143 last year. Since you paid for this, maybe some of you should attend the upcoming schedule of community discussions about Maryland's "one book."
Update: Here is more about the Maryland book tour.

What language is spoken in Belgium?
Languages by countries
Belgium is a country that borders Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France, a fact that has influenced the languages that are currently spoken in the territory. In this article, we will tell you which languages are the official languages of this State and in which areas they are practiced.
Below you have an index with all the points that we are going to deal with in this article.
Travel to Belgium
Belgium has three official languages: French, dutch or Flemish, and German. However, these are not spoken throughout its territory, but are used in different parts.
In this map you can see in different colors the linguistic zones into which the country is divided:
Map of the languages spoken in Belgium
The area in orange is where it is spoken dutch (Flanders), in the French red (Wallonia) and in the German abode. As for the green color, it refers to Brussels, an officially bilingual territory (although French predominates). The following table shows the population that speaks each language:
Language Percentage Number of people
Dutch 60% 6.500.000
French 39% 4.500.000
German 1% 75.000
As we can see, the most widely spoken language in Belgium is Dutch, followed by French and, finally, German, spoken by only 1% of the population. This is used in a small territory that until the First World War belonged to Germany. The provinces where each language is spoken are these:
Antwerp, West Flanders, East Flanders, North Brabant and Limburg
Hainaut, Liège, Luxembourg, Namur and Walloon Brabant
east of the province of Liège
The language most spoken by Belgians
Also, in each area we find some dialects. For example, from flamenco come the Limburgish and Brabanzón, and from the French the Walloon and the Picardo, among others.
The famous Tomorrowland music festival is held in Boom Township. Here the main language is Dutch.
If you are going to visit Belgium and you have doubts about which language to use, it depends on the area. First of all, in tourist cities like Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent you will be able to communicate in English. Even in some establishments they may speak Spanish.
Outside the tourist areas, it is important that you use the official language of that place and not another of the country's languages, as it is frowned upon. For example, if you go to Hainaut, you must speak French and not Dutch or Flemish.
What language to use on your trip to Belgium
On the other hand, if you plan to go to live in this country, it is difficult to find a job without knowing any of the official languages. In most cases, English is not enough.

I know French and not English, and I wanted to travel to Bruges, would it be bad for them to speak French or is it not so bad? From what I understand there is quite a linguistic gap.

I enjoy the knowledge on your internet site.
When it is possible so that you can hang on, try not to buy a house during a seller's industry. You could end up with a residence that is not really worth everything you paid for it. Instead, delay until this is a buyer's marketplace to get a property for what it's well worth.
If you have been diagnosed with cancers, you have to be prepared to get help from everywhere it may well can come. Help could are derived from friends and relations, your home of worship, and even the community overall. You can find assist there make sure you bring it. You could possibly struggle to deal with cancer and also the emotional toll may be too much to handle on your own.
Lights is not only vital for keeping your subject matter lit and visible, but the dark areas in your chance are totally dependent on the illumination from the place. If you use a greater light source, then you will get more compact dark areas to work alongside. This is often good or terrible depending on the issue or approach.
Terrific Web page, Maintain the beneficial work.
I appreciate reading through your site. Thanks a lot!

Click the button below to add the FROM ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY AND STAGNATION TO DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENTAL STATE: Essays on the Socio-Political and Economic Perspectrives on Ethiopia, by Asayehgn Desta to your wish list.
"The span of the book entitled From Economic Dependency and Stagnation to Democratic Developmental State: Essays on the Socio-political and Economic Perspectives of Ethiopia provides readers with an understanding of the historical context of Ethiopian history, education, and development. Especially illuminating is the emphasis on the intersections between foreign investment, local customs, and other Ethiopian power structures, such as government. Especially important are Chapters 9 and 10, which examine China's increased investment in Africa. As China is also investing heavily in Latin America, to understand its African commitments provides a more wide-ranging holistic view of China's actions in these areas. These chapters will give the reader a better understanding of the complexity of China's foreign policy.
From Economic Dependency and Stagnation to Democratic Developmental State: Essays on the Scio-political and Economic Perspectives of Ethiopia is a comprehensive survey and an analysis of the historical roots, development and consequences of the interaction of politics, economics and education in Ethiopia over a span of more than a century. This penetrating, insightful and provocative book brings an insider's insight into a crucible for young and old Ethiopians to read and debate their future in light of their history and experience. The book raises the many ways in which the major players of development have failed the struggling people of Ethiopia whom they were meant to serve. The book integrates theory, research, is packed with timely examples and updated data, and can serve an excellent reference book for students, specialists and researchers on Ethiopian economy, education, politics and development studies. Therefore, this extensive work is a must read by students of development studies.
