Barbara has always impressed me as someone who can get the job done. She is a common sense conservative who truly understands the importance of less bureaucracy and lower taxes.
Health insurance costs are rising dramatically. More people are finding themselves unable to afford health insurance. One of the major factors for the outrageous increase in health insurance premiums is the cost related to malpractice claims. Large malpractice awards raise the cost of insurance for everyone. But more significantly, lawsuits that are filed that have no merit add a tremendous cost to the system and do absolutely nothing to protect the public.
I sponsored SB 1113 in 2004 to address the problem of lawsuits filed and pursued before there is evidence that the person being sued did anything wrong. These are the cases that trial attorneys files with the hope that sometime during the discovery phase, information will be found that proves the defendant did something wrong. In fact, often the trial attorney hopes the defendant will just settle to avoid the costs associated with depositions. The costs are high in attorney's fees, time lost from work and the emotional trauma of being sued. Even when there is no evidence that malpractice has occurred; the person sued is forced to defend himself. The insurance company incurs significant costs preparing a defense and these costs are passed on to everyone in higher insurance premiums.
SB 1113 adds licensed healthcare professionals to the Affidavits; Expert Testimony Statute.
Under current law, if expert testimony is going to be required in a case against a licensed professional, there must be at least one expert who will say the lawsuit has merit before it can move forward. This would occur before the stage is reached where there are huge costs incurred in both time and legal fees. This law was passed in 1999 to stop lawsuits that did not have merit but were costing licensed professionals a great deal of money and time before the case was ultimately dismissed.
Current law addresses those lawsuits where no expert can be found (anywhere in the country or in the world) to give a preliminary opinion that the case has merit. The current law allows for plenty of time for an expert to be found with a Judge being able to extend the time indefinitely. The current statute is working well for all the professions covered by it. Even lawyers are covered under the current statute!
The original bill in 1999 covered all licensed professionals except those in the healthcare professions. Healthcare licensed professionals were left out of the bill because, at the time, there was thought to be an alternative method to screen out those lawsuits without merit. There had been a panel under the State Bar to deal with these issues. That is no longer the case and in fact it never worked well when it was in place. This bill strikes the language that excluded healthcare professionals.
Nothing in this current statute prevents a legitimate lawsuit from moving forward. It only asks that there be some reason that someone is being sued. No one should be sued unless there is some evidence that malpractice has occurred.
Arizona is facing a crisis. Insurance rates are rising, doctors are retiring earlier and new doctors are not willing to come into this State. The problems of malpractice lawsuits are creating a shortage of healthcare professionals that will have a devastating effect on our future. SB 1113 is a good first step to address this very serious problem.

However, shortly before the meeting was to start, PLO chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said that only he and a senior PA security official, Majed Faraj, would attend.
"We are on our way," he said, giving no explanation for Fayyad's absence. Officials in Fayyad's office declined comment.
Even before the last-minute hitch, officials on both sides played down expectations for the meeting, where the PA delegation planned to deliver a letter from PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas to Netanyahu.
Israeli officials said Netanyahu would accept the letter from whoever arrived.
However, the letter's contents are already known to the press and serve as a non sequitor in terms of reviving the moribund peace process.
In it, Abbas reportedly demands Israel accept the indefensible pre-1967 lines as borders for a future PA state, halt all construction in the 'disputed territories,' and release all Arab terrorists from its prisons.
PA officials have confirmed that Abbas withdrew a threat in earlier drafts of the letter to resort to dissolve the Palestinian Authority after pressure from US President Barack Obama.
Netanyahu's office previosuly responded to a threat to dismantle the PA saying "it wouldn't be the end of the world."
Israel has already said it is ready to resume negotiations from either side immediately without preconditions and regards Abbas' demands as a fait accompli intended to forestall talks.
They note that a previous 10-month building freeze by Israel in Judea and Samaria aimed at meeting PA demands was not only rebuffed, but answered with more preconditions and a unilateral statehood bid at the UN.
Unilateral moves are expressely proscribed by the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Nonetheless, in December 2011 the PA adopted "a strategy based on continuous efforts along with the international community to secure full recognition and full United Nations membership, pursuing internal reconciliation, and keeping up the popular resistance."
Netanyahu is expected to reject Abbas' preconditions and demand an immediate return to the negotiating table. His own letter to Abbas will be delivered by Israeli chief negotiator Yitzhak Molho at a later date.

It is true, there was a certain arrangement of circumstances, unnecessary to be recounted, which made it possible nay, as men look at these things, probable, or even certain--that old Jaffrey Pyncheon came to a violent death, and by Clifford's hands.

These 6 Bad Harvest Moon Games Really Take the Cow Pie
Is it even possible to have a bad Harvest Moon title? Unfortunately, yes. It's possible to have six of them.
by bazookajo94
The first Harvest Moon game I ever played was handed to me by my older brother, who told me to milk the cows, plant some seeds, and stay inside when the TV says there's gonna be a storm. When I asked about town, he said "buy seeds from there". When I asked about festivals, he said "try to win". He didn't tell me I could get married. He didn't tell me I could form relationships with the townsfolk. He didn't even tell me that there was a whole backstory to the game.
All I thought there was to Harvest Moon was taking care of cows until they died and trying to have a successful farm -- and I was content with that. It was my favorite game that summer, back when I was young and naive and did anything my older brother told me to.
(not an actual representation of me and my brother)
If a Harvest Moon game is still fun even when you do absolutely nothing, how is it possible to have a bad one? Let's find out.
So put down your hoes and stop sheering your sheep, because we are about to embark on a journey you didn't even want to take -- discussing the less-than-favorable Harvest Moon titles and why the community wants you to play something else.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
Let's start with a title that can still be construed as good if you ask the right (or wrong) people. For the most part, however, the Harvest Moon community are no fans of Island of Happiness.
It's not that the game isn't aesthetically pleasing or that it has an awful story. quite the contrary in fact -- the villagers are cute, and being shipwrecked on an island and deciding to live there isn't the worst idea for a story I've ever heard. No, people don't like Island of Happiness because of the controls.
You give a gamer a stylus and they either use it or chew it. You give a gamer a stylus when that's the only way to play and they're going to have a bad time. No matter how much they might like the game, if they have to clunk their way around their farm with no reprieve from holding that blasted stick in their hand, they're going to end up hating a game that they could have otherwise loved.
But we can't blame the child for its parents' mistakes...
Harvest Moon DS
Released in 2005 as the first of their Nintendo DS releases, Harvest Moon DS is the staple for bad Harvest Moon games. Seriously, even people who like this game hate this game.
If you bought Harvest Moon DS expecting an upgrade from the GBA title, you couldn't be more wrong. If you bought this game expecting exciting innovations, and new charming quirks that add to the tried and true tactics of this endearing farming simulator, prepare to be disappointed. If you bought this game at all, you probably drowned in the monotony of a Harvest Moon game that didn't even have enough self-respect to be different from the actual fun monotony of its forefathers.
Harvest Moon DS Cute
Oh my gosh, you're thinking. There's another DS one?
You bet your sweet ass there is.
It's bad enough that in the old days of Harvest Moon, you could only play as a boy. And instead of Harvest Moon DS Cute allowing players a choice between a boy and a girl, they just make the protagonist solely a girl, which could be fun if we didn't live in a progressive world. No one really cares as long as they have the choice, but Harvest Moon DS Cute takes that choice away.
Other than the derogatory addition of the word "cute" (like the previous games weren't? Like only girl games can be cute?), this 2005 release is basically the same as Harvest Moon DS -- unoriginal, mundane, and so similar to the GBA versions that it's hardly innovative.
But, hey, you get to be a girl. That's fun, right?
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
When you go out actively seeking a game that's all about both literal farming and the gaming term "farming," you're not exactly expecting a blockbuster. And that's okay. The relaxing nature of farming simulator games brings a certain type of contentment to someone who wants to live in a simpler world.
So when a game like that ends up being boring to someone who likes playing those types of games, something went horrible wrong.
Did you hear me, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility? Something went horribly wrong.
Setting aside the sub-par graphics and shoddy sound design, you still have a game with stilted conversations and no incentives to put in the time to woo any of the 16 eligible spouses.
Sure, the game has the same simplistic play style of its predecessors, but just as the Little Mermaid wanted more than the entire ocean floor, so do veteran Harvest Moon players want more than just the Harvest Moon formula. Especially considering this was the first Wii release for the franchise.
Harvest Moon: My Little Shop
Have you ever looked at a Harvest Moon game and thought, "Sure wish I didn't have to farm in this"?
It's impossible really, because why else are you playing these games? Regardless, Harvest Moon publisher Natsume tried to deliver with the release of My Little Shop.
It's a Harvest Moon game without farming. Okay fine, you live on a farm and can water your crops for, like, a second. But the rest of your time is spent playing mini games as a form of advancement toward the success of the shop you run.
I know when I hear, "A game whose main focus is mini games," I think, "This is going to be the most fun game I've ever played in my life, ever".
Puzzle de Harvest Moon
So you wanna play Harvest Moon but you don't want to farm or run a shop. Then what do you want?!
Well, you don't want to read this list when looking for a good Harvest Moon game, that's for sure.
And our next bad game is Puzzle de Harvest Moon, a farming simulator game that takes out the farming mechanics and doesn't even give you the dignity of running your own shop. Instead, you get to solve puzzles.
Not only are the staple mechanics of a Harvest Moon game non-existent (please, just let me get married), but the "fun" new additions don't even make a lot of sense -- everyone wants to know what's up with the cow, when really they should be wondering why they're playing Puzzle de Harvest Moon over a game where they could be milking that cow.
Apparently, Harvest Moon fans don't know what they want.
They want the same simple mechanics in every game, with both subtle and exaggerated variations to make the games interesting, but not so different that they can't recognize a Harvest Moon title when they see one.
There is a fine line the developers have to walk to satisfy their fans in order to give them the best Harvest Moon game, and it can be hard to appease everyone.
My advice? If you want to play a good Harvest Moon game, just play Rune Factory.

I find it equally baffling that men treat women as lesser beings when the clear instruction is that both are created from the same spiritual fabric. I am irked by this question, the sense it carries with it that women are some kind of second best, an after-thought for religion, that require special attention. The origins and relationship of men and women are therefore equal and equitable, neither one being able to exist or fully function without the other. Women are fundamental to successful human flourishing — both physical and spiritual. I find it incomprehensible that women are excluded from some mosques, when by decree Mary was placed at the place of worship. These stories are told in Islamic scripture with feisty, spiritual women who change the course of history. The challenge is to reject black-and-white polarising questions like "Is religion good for women" and start from the basic fundamentals of equality. The fundamental way of knowing "the divine" as a Muslim are the 99 names which describe the qualities of the deity. Updated August 28, The two men are fighting separate battles against alumina giant Alcoa over sprawling residue ponds at the company's Wagerup and Kwinana refineries. For every tonne of alumina created, there are about two tonnes of waste. About four million tonnes of bauxite residue is deposited at the Kwinana facility alone each year. Until recently, locals said the "red mud lakes" had been out of sight, out of mind. Barely visible from ground level, their scale could only be fully understood from the air. But now the Kwinana facility is under scrutiny, with the Environmental Protection Authority EPA deliberating whether new residential subdivisions should be allowed within 1.

A touch of iTunes Genius
Posted: September 14, 2008 in Mac, media, movies, music, Technology
I haven't had much time to fiddle around too much with iTunes 8.0 but I do like the Genius sidebar. Basically, Genius will select similar songs based on a track you select in your iTunes library. In the main sidebar it will select songs from the iTunes store that you don't own – it's a great way of discovering music you might not otherwise have heard, although it is limited to iTunes tracks, so Uzimon but no Beatles for example. If you hit the "atomic" icon next to "Burn Disc" at the bottom of your iTunes window, Genius will create a playlist from songs in your library which you can then save this playlist to your library – pretty handy if, like me, you never have the time to compile playlists for every occasion plus its another way of rediscovering those tracks that you ripped long ago and now lie buried somewhere in those mounting gigabytes on your hard drive.
While we're on the subject of iTunes, I was very impressed to find that episodes of ongoing TV series like the new season of AMC's "Mad Men" are available the same week as broadcast. Yes, I could set my WOW box to record the series but it has been unreliable and WOW's online programming guide is crap. Much easier to click "buy" on Apple TV and have the whole series on tap – and at $22.99 for the whole 13-part season, it's a bargain compared to buying the box set, with the added duty and shipping.

Q: CORS issue in express.js project I am trying to develop a MERN project. My code in server.js file of express.js is like below.
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const addressroute = require('./api/routes/address');
const userroute = require('./api/routes/user');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.set('useCreateIndex', true);
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/addresses', { useNewUrlParser: true });
const db = mongoose.connection;

var cors = require('cors');

let app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded( { extended:true } ));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use('/api/address', addressroute);
app.use('/api/users', userroute);
app.use(cors());
app.options('*', cors());
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;
app.listen(PORT);

I installed CORS using npm install cors --save this command.
I am getting below error.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:4000/api/users/register. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).

A: Try moving cors above your routes:
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded( { extended:true } ));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cors());
app.use('/api/address', addressroute);
app.use('/api/users', userroute);
app.listen(PORT);

A: Try using the following code snippet:
app.all('/*', function(req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");
  next();
});

A: // Try to use the following code
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
      next();
    });

A: You should move the CORS middleware (app.use(cors());) to be executed before you define your routes. In the snippet that you added here, the CORS middleware is not invoked on each request

A: Cors should be enabled or included before your routes.
const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const addressroute = require('./api/routes/address');
const userroute = require('./api/routes/user');

app.use(cors());

app.use('/api/address', addressroute);
app.use('/api/users', userroute);
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;
app.listen(PORT);

A: while calling your api from frontend add
 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*'

Building Enhancements Energy
A Case Study in Why You Should Use Automation to Reduce Energy Consumption
EWoffice Business Center in Panama City, Panama is a case study in using ELAN control to reduce energy consumption.
September 11, 2017 CI Staff	Leave a Comment
EWoffice Business Center is an 11,000-square foot facility in Costa del Este, Panama City, Panama.
Related: How to Manage a Bowling Alley Like a Tech-Savvy Superstar
When you run an office center, it's important to motivate tenants to choose your space – and cost savings from reduced energy consumption is a great incentive. It worked out for EWoffice Business Center, an 11,000-square foot facility in Costa del Este, Panama City, Panama, which leaned on ELAN control and integrator Domotic Design for an automation solution.
"The original scope of the project was to use an automation system to reduce electricity consumption generated by lighting and HVAC, and lower the costs of building operation," says Daniel Ramirez Parma, Domotic Design owner and project manager, in an ELAN press release.
"Once we began building out the design, we recommended that they take advantage of the other sub-systems ELAN can automate and control, like audio, video, security, access control, intercom, motorized shades, and more. The end-result satisfies our customer's initial request, and provides tenants with one more reason to rent space at the EWoffices Business Center opposed to other Panama City shared workspaces."
Here's what Domotic Design installed:
An ELAN gSC2 controller
ELAN g1 controller to anchor the entire building's system
Two ELAN gTP7 and gTP4 touch panels for one-touch audio and video control in central shared boardrooms
Remote access enabled by the ELAN App
"Since the occupying businesses and the building's managers use the ELAN system for completely different reasons, we configured the ELAN touch panels with custom pages that only allow tenants to control the audio and video," Ramirez Parma says. "Other involved systems throughout the entire building, like lighting, HVAC, and security, are only accessible to the owners locally and remotely."
Inside the Energy Consumption Impact
In its press release, ELAN says the automation significantly streamlines management of the building. It specifically highlights the benefits on the building's HVAC:
Since the EWoffice Business Center's HVAC is entirely dependent on an adjacent cooling tower's pumping system, the corresponding cold water pumps do not function 24 hours a day and thus need to be closely managed so as to not rev-up energy consumption costs.
With ELAN, Domotic Design configured an automated HVAC system that turns on and off on a strict schedule without any action needed on the manager's part. Every day at 7:00 AM, the system enters 'Home Mode,' which manages the complex HVAC system, as well as lighting and security. 'Away Mode' goes into full effect at 8:00 PM, which safely powers down all systems.
"This new automation functionality is extremely helpful for building management," Ramirez Parma continued. "We configured the system to even send push notifications to the owner and administrator alerting them that, on each day, everything turned on and off on schedule. They can check in on HVAC as well as their security camera feeds stationed around the building from anywhere in the world."
More from ELAN's Press Release on Energy Consumption Impact
Similarly, the building's owner wanted to facilitate control of the lighting depending on the day and time, and based on the occupation of the offices. Domotic Design integrated 16 loads of Lutron RadioRA2 lighting in the common areas into the ELAN system to effectively manage when they powered on and off. "Lighting control significantly reduces costs," Ramirez Parma added. "They never again have to worry about a tenant leaving the light on overnight and driving up the electricity bill."
The ELAN system also has enormous benefits for tenants occupying the space. Domotic Design installed a Niles Auriel multi-room audio system, enabling occupying businesses to stream audio and video instantly whenever desired. As Auriel is based on the ELAN Control Platform, it was particularly easy to integrate. The system is divided into four independent zones, including the building's reception area, the coffee lounge, and two board rooms — both of which have an integrated AppleTV and ELAN video matrix for presentations. Different businesses can play their own music in designated areas thanks to the multiple Auriel zones.
"The multi-room audio system creates a more pleasant environment for renters and visitors," Ramirez Parma said. "They have full control over the content they'd like to show in the boardrooms during the meeting, or during a break in the coffee lounge. It's so incredibly intuitive and easy to use."
According to Ramirez Parma, ELAN was the best system for this particular project because it was easily personalized to all of the customer's needs, and it seamlessly integrated with pre-existing technology in the building. "It wasn't necessary to run additional cables because ELAN integrated well with the pre-existing wires," he said. "The building was already equipped with Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats, which we were easily able to integrate into ELAN with a HouseLogix driver. It was so easy to install, configure, and now, it's easy for the customer and their tenants to use!"

Home Current Affairs Politics 6 Penal Code Changes That'll Pass Way Before A 377A Repeal In...
6 Penal Code Changes That'll Pass Way Before A 377A Repeal In S'pore
The Must Share News Team
169 Proposed Changes To Penal Code, But 377A Not Part Of It
A major revamp is in the works for our penal code, with one glaring exception — repealing Section 377A, a controversial law criminalising homosexual sex between men.
However, the other 169 proposed changes in a 500-page report are open to public feedback, before they'll probably get passed in Parliament this November.
Here's a quick rundown on the major proposed amendments that will probably affect all of us in the long-run.
1. Crimes against children
The report proposes new offences related to material – including fictional material – involving child abuse.
Engaging a child in any of the following ways to procure illicit child material will be a crime:
Causing a minor to look at sexual images will now be a crime, and the minimum age of criminal responsibility for children will be raised from 7 to 10 years old.
Reason: Fictional material may be used for "grooming children" or reinforcing that the relationship between child and abuser is the norm.
Case: Joshua Robinson, an American mixed-martial artist, faced a 4-year jail penalty for his various offences — sex with minors, screening an obscene film to a 6-year-old, possessing 6,000 obscene films with some involving children.
2. "Sustained abuse"
Enhanced penalties are to be expected for offences against "vulnerable persons", defined as domestic helpers, children below 14 and those with mental or physical disability.
The committee proposes up to 2 times the max penalties awarded for these offences.
Now, it'll be an offence for anyone to "cause or allow the death or serious injury" of children or vulnerable people.
Jail terms of up to 20 years, fines, and caning will be implemented on offenders.
"Sustained abuse" of a person resulting in death is also to be listed as a new offence.
Reason: Only if a person's final act towards the victim will be considered in court, when abuse leads to death. The prosecution has to prove that the person had an intention to kill and the the act itself would have resulted in his or her death.
Case: Annie Ee's horrific abuse case that shocked the nation involved 8 months of physical torture and abuse. But while her aggressors got away with jail terms, many Singaporeans expressed that they wished to see harsher punishments.
3. Marital rape
Now this repeal is one that's been a while in the making.
Currently, it's not a considered rape for a woman who is married in Singapore, if her husband is the aggressor.
A "full, unqualified repeal" of "marital immunity for rape" is thus a pretty landmark change.
Mr Shanmugam clarified that the move does not "contradict" Muslim beliefs and added,
A woman's body is her own. And even if she's your wife, she's entitled to say no – and no means no.
Reason: All women should be protected from sexual abuse, regardless of their marital status or the offender's identity.
Case: A 21-year-old navy regular bound, gagged and had sexual intercourse with his wife against her will in 1999. He was given 18 months' in jail and a $4,000 fine for "voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation". But the act could not be considered rape unless the victim was under 13.
4. Voyeurism
Due to widespread use of mobile devices and social media, new amendments hope to catch would-be cyber offenders.
Making, distributing, possessing or accessing "voyeuristic recordings regardless of gender" will now be made an offence.
As well as threatening to disseminate an "intimate image" online.
Reason: It's currently not an offence in itself to threaten to release intimate images online. Criminals are charged with other offences like blackmail or extortion instead.
Case: A man who created a Google group named 'SG Horizon Club' threatened to kick his members if they didn't upload 1 obscene video a week. For possession of more than 801 illicit films – including hidden camera vids – he was given the maximum penalty of 2 years in jail and an $80,000 fine.
5. White-collar crime across borders
Taking cues from UK's new definition of "fraud" offences, we'll also be introducing new amendments to combat white-collar crime.
The changes will help Singapore prosecute criminals and syndicates that operate out of Singapore as well, for "selected white-collar and property offences".
Reason: To ensure that "emerging crime tactics" targeting financial systems, which bank on new media and technology are dealt with swiftly.
Case: 11 men misappropriated fuel from Shell's plant in Pulau Bukom in a scam involving millions of dollars. They each face criminal breach of trust charges and could get up to 15 years in jail and a fine.
6. Attempted suicide
Attempting suicide in Singapore is currently an offence, punishable by 1 year in jail, a fine, or both.
With the repealing of section 309 of the Penal Code, individuals may be allowed more healthcare and social assistance, instead of facing jail terms.
If the amendments pass, Singapore will leave the ranks of Malaysia and Bangladesh behind, 2 other states who have criminalised suicide.
Police officers, will however, be given these expanded powers to "immediately intervene to prevent harm or loss of life";
Arrest individual who attempted suicide
Send individual to a medical practitioner for assessment
Seize evidence if individual dies & Coroner's Inquiry is launched
Helping someone, or allowing someone to take their own lives will still be an offence.
Reason: Criminalisation is no longer the best way to prevent suicides. There is a growing sense that "treatment, not prosecution" is the "appropriate response".
Cases: Offenders currently get up to a year's jail, fine or both for attempting suicide. But MHA says prosecutions are "rare", with 0.6% reported cases resulting in prosecution from 2013 to 2015.
Bonus: No 377A repeal…yet
A similar law to Section 377A of the penal code, which makes acts of "gross indecency" between men criminal, was repealed in India on 6 Sep.
However, amendments to 377A are not part of the agenda this time.
This is despite calls from diplomat Tommy Koh for the gay community to "try again", multiple petitions to repeal the code, and 10 years' worth of Pink Dot celebrations.
Reason: Apparently Singapore still doesn't "seem ready" for the law to be repealed.
With discussion and input from the general public, the committee hopes to create a revised Penal Code that is "principled, proportionate and practical".
Mr Shanmugam added that he hoped the revised code would "continue to serve Singapore well in the years to come", which may mean it's going to be a while before we see such major changes again.
You can submit your feedback about any of the changes by 30 Sep:

Companies look within for new woman leaders
Long tenured learning and development interventions are being launched by organisations to help women break the glass ceiling.
Namrata Singh
Mumbai: A firm recently decided to recruit a woman as the HR head. However, despite running the best possible search, it failed to find the right candidate. Organisations accept that there's only a limited pool of women ready to take on leadership roles. And that the only way to get more women leaders is by developing talent internally. Long tenured learning and development interventions are being launched by organisations to help women break the glass ceiling.
One such programme called 'Accel' has been curated by Godrej Group for its 32 high-potential women managers. In this year-long programme, managers are mentored by key women leaders from the group, including Nisaba Godrej, and other internal leaders as well, with the focal areas being learning strategy, emotional, social awareness and, more importantly, influencing.
Godrej Industries Limited and Associate Companies (GILAC) group head (rewards, diversity & people productivity) Shefali Kohli said, "Given that there is an attrition of women at certain mid-levels, we said rather than reaching out and hiring women laterally, why don't we develop them and build them from within our talent pool." While at the manager cadre entry level, women representation stands at 30-35% for GILAC, at the leadership level it is around 17%. A leaky pipeline is a major reason why most organisations have fewer women leaders. "Research tells us that women are fairly sticky in their jobs. However, they prefer to work in immediate vicinities of their homes and it's tough to retain them," said Kohli.
Some women also struggle with networking and managing politics at work. "There's a confidence versus competence issue. That's why they say men take the plunge even if they're 60% ready, while women do not even at 80% readiness," said Kohli.
At the end of the tenure, when the group does an assessment of the shifts that were triggered by the development on the basis of inputs from managers and other key stakeholders, the women identified as 'ready now' would be considered for next level of roles as and when these emerge.
Pidilite Industries plans to create a programme to develop women leaders and is currently under discussion with the SP Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR). "We are committed to helping our women leaders at middle management grow to the next level of leadership roles and progress in their careers," said Pidilite Industries CHRO Rahul Sinha.
Uber has rolled out a diversity and inclusion (D&I) sponsorship programme of six-12 months, targeting cohorts of 15-20 high-performing women who will be sponsored by director-plus level leaders at the firm. Uber India & South Asia HR business partner Neha Mathur said, "Having a sponsor, a career champion, and someone who advocates on their 'sponsee's' behalf is a game-changing asset that is especially empowering for female professionals."
"While men may inherently find it easier to form professional relationships and organically find sponsors for themselves, women can benefit from formal programmes to match them with sponsors. The rationale behind this programme is not depriving men from opportunities in the workplace but to create a level playing field and cultivate an environment that enables women to tap into company resources that can help develop and advance their careers equally," said Mathur.
A few years ago, the Mahindra Group had started on a journey to mentor and coach 300 women in five years through its first Women Leaders Programme. A classroom learning in collaboration between Mahindra Leadership University and SPJIMR, the programme is said to have helped some women managers move up the career trajectory.
SPJIMR professor of marketing and chairperson (postgraduate management programme for women) Ashita Aggarwal said, some of the identified areas of interventions for women's leadership programmes include negotiating confidently, managing stress, conflict resolution and understanding of business to be able to lead. "We have to accept that unconscious and conscious biases exist at workplaces. Such programmes help women understand their strengths and, more importantly, be comfortable with their own style of managing and leading. Women should not try to be like 'male leaders' because what they bring to organisations is unique."
Aggarwal questioned the need to only upskill women to move to senior roles and not men, when both have invested same time in gaining experience and come with same educational backgrounds. "Probably more programmes are needed for men on 'building inclusive organisations'. We need a mindset change and not just upskilling," said Aggarwal.

Play Slots 4 Real Money > Australia > Crown Resorts' Perth Casino In Australia Admits To Oversights During during Royal Commission Hearings?
Crown Resorts' Perth Casino In Australia Admits To Oversights During during Royal Commission Hearings?
November 2, 2021 Posted in Australia by Rich Caesar • No Comments
Billionaire James Packer appeared last week in front of the royal commission to testify on the alleged failure to oversight the corporate governance at Crown Resorts' Perth. Packer is a former executive chair of Burswood Limited, Crown Resorts' subsidiary for Western Australia.
Hearing on Corporate Failures
Packer attended the hearing via video link on Friday morning. The questioning was run by Patricia Cahill, a counsel assisting the commission. Billionaire reportedly spoke slowly and had issues remembering events that occurred while he was in the executive position at the casino. However, he did admit to certain failings. According to his testimony, Packer didn't attend the company's board meeting for almost four years while he was residing overseas. In addition, he and his associates failed to make sure that the board has a written charter.
Series of Inquiries
The royal commission in Western Australia is the latest in the series of inquiries into Crown Resorts' operations. The Nine Entertainment's Crown Unmasked series aired in 2019 already sparked two previous investigations. The series made allegations of criminal actions and money laundering in the group's casinos in Melbourne and Perth. In February, an inquiry in New South Wales determined that the group was involved in money laundering through bank accounts linked to Melbourne and Perth casinos in addition to criminal groups being involved in junkets. Furthermore, the royal commission reported to the Victorian Government with findings group's unpaid taxes and failure to minimize risk for gambling addicts.
Packer Admits that Mistakes were Made
At the moment, James Packer is the owner of 37% of the Crown Resorts. On Friday, the royal commission recommended that he sells 5% of the stake, to which he agreed. Packer stepped down as the executive chairman of the company in 2018. While at the company, he also served as a chair of Burswood from 2014 to 2016. At the hearing, he admitted that during that time, he didn't attend any of the board meetings after 2013 when he left the country. Still, he received regular updates from Barry Felstead, the Crowns' head of Australian casino resorts.
Packer conceded that, in retrospect, he should have attended the meetings or resigned from his position. The lack of board charter as a result of failure by both him and Rowen Cragie, the chief executive at the time. Packer said that they both overlooked the need for such a document. He also added that the board at the time had no members with expertise in anti-money laundering and financial crime risk management. Packer also said that they managed to establish a proper culture at the company which landed them the title of the WA employer of the year in 2015. However, at some point, the culture slipped, which was partly his fault. He refused the notion that the company was involved in money laundering.
The investigations in Victoria and New South Wales found the Crown not suitable to be a casino license holder. Still, the commission did not put forward an official recommendation that to revoke the company's license. At the moment, hearings in Pert are still in progress.

Milly is a feel-good story wrapped in fur
Donate to DFL
The pup now known as Milly first arrived at the Dumb Friends League in 2016 after a 12-year-old found the sweet dog and brought her home. The family already had a dog and two cats, and the patron explained they were unable to care for another animal, but for the few weeks the family had Milly, the pit bull was housebroken, showed no signs of aggressive behavior and got along with the other members in the house—both of the two and four-legged variety.
Milly was a bit fearful, but while she was on the slower side to warm up to people, she allowed pets and handling. She was enrolled in the League's Canine Courage program, which uses positive reinforcement training to help overcome challenges such as overstimulation, fear, body handling issues or frustration. After a few sessions, Milly welcomed the sight of her leash for walks, wanted to play and generously gave out licks—even during veterinary exams.
While Milly was soon adopted, it wasn't the last time she would visit the League. After almost two years in her home, Milly made her feelings clear for one of the other two resident dogs when her senior canine sibling approached, and she nipped at his ear. Milly was fine with the other pup, at the dog park and on walks, but for whatever reason, she was not OK with that particular dog. The patron mentioned that Milly had food allergies and skin issues, but that she wasn't actively treating the conditions.
During her second time at the League, Milly was tense but curious with sniffs and tail wags each time someone passed her kennel. After a determining that Milly could benefit from some refresher sessions, she was re-enrolled in Canine Courage. And, as for those skin and food sensitivities, Milly began Hill's® Prescription Diet® z/d.
Milly's behavior and health improved, and once she was ready for adoption, our staff noted her ideal environment would have no small dogs or children under 10 and be a fun and active forever home —and if there were plenty of treats, all the better.
Enter Leah and her family.
"My family adopted two dogs a few years ago from the League and had a great experience, and we loved participating in the Furry Scurry, so it was a no brainer," said Leah. "Plus, we live in a city that does not have breed specific legislation, so we were looking for a bully breed to rescue."
When Leah's clan met Milly, she was on the shy side and hesitant to approach. "It was obvious Milly had a huge pull toward people. Her eyes were empathetic, and she looked like a dog who was an expert snuggler," said Leah. Milly also met and got along with Lucy, the family's 5-year-old pit bull.
Leah is happy to report that Milly brightened up the moment she was brought her home. "It seems Milly is perfectly suited to complete a dog and cat companion trio," said Leah. "It also turns out Milly has immune-mediated polyarthritis, which flares up due to her seasonal and food allergies." Milly is still enjoying Hill's® Prescription Diet® z/d, and Leah has seen a drastic difference in her coat and weight. "It has helped to keep her immune disease at bay, and even our cat is jealous of her delicious dinners," said Leah.
Milly loves to wear boots and sweaters, sees every chew toy as a challenge to withstand her carnage and is a homebody who loves to play with the cat—although Milly does enjoy walks and hikes, and Leah suspects it's because she loves to fulfill her duty as their security detail!
"Milly has blossomed. She can still be a bit shy with strangers initially but otherwise is an extremely loving friend," said Leah. "As she's grown more comfortable with our other dog and cat, she's settled in and has developed her confidence. With allergy medication shots and prescription allergy food, she is a happy and healthy dog."
"Milly is absolutely a sunshine in our lives and makes us laugh every day. It said so much that everyone at the League loved our dog so well and took time to say goodbye. We are so grateful for the investment of everyone at the Dumb Friends League."

Relying on drivers to access user data, you can use a database, a LDAP directory, or any other way to access data. As for now, there is a database driver, an LDAP directory based driver, and a driver for an external class.
Copy the file lib/jelix-modules/jauth/install/var/config/auth.coord.ini.php into the configuration directory of your entry point, for instance var/config/index/auth.coord.ini.php.
Since Jelix 1.4.1 (and 1.3.4, 1.2.10), there are two hashing system to hash your password in the storage. Jelix 1.4.1 and higher provide indeed a more secured method, using the new password API of PHP 5.5.
This system is provided since Jelix 1.2.10/1.3.4/1.4.1 and use a new PHP 5.5 API. It uses by default the bcrypt method.
Warning: Do not do this migration with a shared database, used by several application in which the migration has not been done. Users could not be authenticated, since new hash password are not compatible with the old hashing system (and vice-versa). And you could not return to the old hashing system, unless you made database backup. Do a backup of the user table before the migration.
timeout option indicates inactivity duration to invalid authentication. Its unit is minutes. If you set it to 0, there is no timeout. And the authentication session will live throughout the browser session, or the php session (configured into the php.ini file).

# Heroku Buildpack for Go

![Heroku Buildpack for Go](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/51578/15877053/53506724-2cdf-11e6-878c-e2ef60ba741f.png)

This is the official [Heroku buildpack][buildpack] for [Go][go].

## Getting Started

Follow the guide at
<https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-go>

There's also a hello world sample app at
<https://github.com/heroku/go-getting-started>

## Example

```
$ ls -A1
.git
vendor
Procfile
web.go

$ heroku create
Creating polar-waters-4785...
...

$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Go app detected
-----> Installing go1.8... done
-----> Running: go install -tags heroku ./...
-----> Discovering process types
       Procfile declares types -> web

-----> Compressing... done, 1.6MB
-----> Launching... done, v4
       https://polar-waters-4785.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku
```

This buildpack will detect your repository as Go if you are using either:

- [govendor][govendor]
- [glide][glide]
- [GB][gb]
- [Godep][godep]

This buildpack adds a `heroku` [build constraint][build-constraint], to enable
heroku-specific code. See the [App Engine build constraints
article][app-engine-build-constraints] for more.

## govendor specifics

The [vendor.json][vendor.json] spec that govendor follows for its metadata
file allows for arbitrary, tool specific fields. This buildpack uses this
feature to track build specific bits. These bits are encoded in the following
top level json keys:

* `rootPath` (String): the root package name of the packages you are pushing to
  Heroku. You can find this locally with `go list -e .`. There is no default for
  this and it must be specified. Recent versions of govendor automatically fill
  in this field for you. You can re-run `govendor init` after upgrading to have
  this field filled in automatically, or it will be filled the next time you use
   govendor to modify a dependency.

* `heroku.goVersion` (String): the major version of go you would like Heroku to
  use when compiling your code: if not specified defaults to the most recent
  supported version of Go.

* `heroku.install` (Array of Strings): a list of the packages you want to install.
  If not specified, this defaults to `["."]`. Other common choices are:
  `["./cmd/..."]` (all packages and sub packages in the `cmd` directory) and
  `["./..."]` (all packages and sub packages of the current directory). The exact
   choice depends on the layout of your repository though. Please note that `./...`
   includes any packages in your `vendor` directory.

Example with everything, for a project using `go1.8`, located at
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/heroku/go-getting-started` and requiring a single package
spec of `./...` to install.

```json
{
    ...
    "rootPath": "github.com/heroku/go-getting-started",
    "heroku": {
        "install" : [ "./..." ],
        "goVersion": "go1.8"
         },
    ...
}
```

A tool like jq or a text editor can be used to inject these variables into
`vendor/vendor.json`.

## glide specifics

The `glide.yaml` and `glide.lock` files do not allow for arbitrary metadata, so
the buildpack relies solely on the glide command and environment variables to
control the build process.

The base package name is determined by running `glide name`.

The Go version used to compile code defaults to the latest released version of Go.
This can be overridden by the `$GOVERSION` environment variable. Setting
`$GOVERSION` to a major version will result in the buildpack using the
latest released minor version in that series. Setting `$GOVERSION` to a specific
minor Go version will pin Go to that version. Examples:

```console
$ heroku config:set GOVERSION=go1.8   # Will use go1.8.X, Where X is that latest minor release in the 1.8 series
$ heroku config:set GOVERSION=go1.7.5 # Pins to go1.7.5
```

Installation defaults to `.`. This can be overridden by setting the
`$GO_INSTALL_PACKAGE_SPEC` environment variable to the package spec you want the
go tool chain to install. Example:

```console
$ heroku config:set GO_INSTALL_PACKAGE_SPEC=./...
$ git push heroku master
```

## Usage with other vendoring systems

If your vendor system of choice is not listed here, create `vendor/vendor.json`
with the following contents, adjusted as needed for your project's root path.

```json
{
    "comment": "For other heroku options see: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/go-dependencies-via-govendor#build-configuration",
    "rootPath": "github.com/yourOrg/yourRepo",
    "heroku": {
        "sync": false
    }
}
```

## Hacking on this Buildpack

To change this buildpack, fork it on GitHub & push changes to your fork. Ensure
that tests have been added to the `test/run` script and any corresponding fixtures to
`test/fixtures/<fixture name>`.

### Tests

Requires docker.

```console
$ make test
```

## Using with cgo

The buildpack supports building with C dependencies via [cgo][cgo]. You can set
config vars to specify CGO flags to specify paths for vendored dependencies. The
literal text of `${build_dir}` will be replaced with the directory the build is
happening in. For example, if you added C headers to an `includes/` directory,
add the following config to your app: `heroku config:set CGO_CFLAGS='-I${
build_dir}/includes'`. Note the usage of `''` to ensure they are not converted to
local environment variables.

## Using a development version of Go

The buildpack can install and use any specific commit of the Go compiler when
the specified go version is `devel-<short sha>`. The version can be set either
via the appropriate vendoring tools config file or via the `$GOVERSION`
environment variable. The specific sha is downloaded from Github w/o git
history. Builds may fail if GitHub is down, but the compiled go version is
cached.

When this is used the buildpack also downloads and installs the buildpack's
current default Go version for use in bootstrapping the compiler.

Build tests are NOT RUN. Go compilation failures will fail a build.

No official support is provided for unreleased versions of Go.

## Passing a symbol (and optional string) to the linker

This buildpack supports the go [linker's][go-linker] ability (`-X symbol value`)
to set the value of a string at link time. This can be done by setting
`GO_LINKER_SYMBOL` and `GO_LINKER_VALUE` in the application's config before
pushing code. If `GO_LINKER_SYMBOL` is set, but `GO_LINKER_VALUE` isn't set then
`GO_LINKER_VALUE` defaults to [`$SOURCE_VERSION`][source-version].

This can be used to embed the commit sha, or other build specific data directly
into the compiled executable.

## Testpack

This buildpack also supports the testpack API.

## Deploying

```console
$ heroku buildkits:publish heroku/go
$ # This tells you the new version number
$ # Update the Changelog with it
$ git commit -am "vXXX"
$ git tag vXXX
$ git push && git push --tags
$ # Add a heroku changelog item (if notable)
```

### New Go version

1. Edit `files.json`, and add an entry for the new version, including the SHA,
   which can be copied from golang.org.
1. Update `data.json`, to update the `VersionExpansion` object.
1. run `ACCESS_KEY='THE KEY' SECRET_KEY='THE SECRET KEY' bin/sync-files.sh`.
   This will download everything from the bucket, plus any missing files from
   their source locations, and verify their SHAS, then upload anything missing
   from the bucket back to the s3 bucket.
1. Commit and push.
