On March 17, 2017, the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) filed an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit supporting a visual journalist's appeal of a lower court decision in favor of the defendant police officers who arrested him.
That "friend of the court" brief was joined by a broad coalition of over 60 media companies and organizations engaged in press photography, videography, broadcast news, journalism (both online and in print) and free-speech advocacy.
Photojournalist Douglas Higginbotham was covering an Occupy Wall Street protest at Zuccotti Park in New York City on the morning of November 15, 2011. In order to get a better vantage point from which to record the large crowd of police and protestors he climbed to the top of a phone booth. Mr. Higginbotham claims that while he was in the process of complying with police officers, who had asked him to come down, he was forcibly pulled off, arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. NPPA general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher was successful in having that charge quickly dismissed by the Manhattan district attorney.

Higginbotham subsequently brought a federal civil rights lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the arresting officers and the City of New York. Among other things, his complaint alleged that "the defendants retaliated against him for filming a violent arrest in violation of his First Amendment rights." In refusing to grant the defendants' motion to dismiss the case, District Court Judge P. Kevin Castel held (with regard to the question of whether the police officers were protected by the doctrine of qualified immunity), that "the right to record police activity in public, at least in the case of a journalist who is otherwise unconnected to the events recorded, was 'clearly established' at the time of the events alleged in the complaint."
The matter is now being appealed, following Judge Castel's grant of a motion for summary judgment by the defendants. "Though we believe the District Court erred in granting summary judgment, we also believe that Judge Castel was correct in recognizing that the press has a First Amendment right to cover police activity, said Jay K. Goldberg, attorney for Mr. Higginbotham. "We urge the Second Circuit to adopt Judge Castel's reasoning and align this Circuit with all others that have upheld this fundamental right of constitutional protection," he added.
Attorneys Robert Balin, Abigail Everdell and Jack Browning, of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP drafted the amicus brief with help from NPPA's Osterreicher. "The fact that more than 60 leading news outlets and free speech organizations have joined the NPPA in this friend of court brief speaks volumes about the importance of the First Amendment rights at stake in this case," said Balin. "From Ferguson to Occupy Wall Street to tomorrow's headlines, safeguarding the ability of the press and public to record and freely discuss police activity in public places is essential to an enlightened, informed democracy. Given the national consensus by other courts, we believe a ruling by the federal appeal court in New York recognizing a First Amendment right to record the police in public is long overdue. We look forward to presenting our arguments."
Those courts include the First, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits, which have expressly acknowledged the existence of this crucial right. The Second Circuit has yet to find that right as being "clearly established," which has had a chilling effect on journalists and citizens, while officers who arrest or harass those recording police conduct continue to avoid liability by receiving "qualified immunity" for their actions.
The brief urges the Second Circuit to "recognize—as did the district court—that members of the press unconnected with the underlying events have a clearly established First Amendment right to record officers in public places in furtherance of their free press rights to gather and disseminate news on matters of public concern." In the alternative, the amici argue, should the Court find "that the right to record the public conduct of police officers was not clearly established . . . at the time of Mr. Higginbotham's arrest," it "should nonetheless use this opportunity to declare the right to be clearly established going forward."
In reflecting on his case, Higginbotham said, "I just want to thank the NPPA for assembling so many media industry leaders, along with an impressive coalition of free speech organizations in support of my appeal. Now is a very important time for the courts to uphold our constitutional rights, and send a clear message that a free press must be allowed to go about our invaluable duties, which are enshrined in the First Amendment , without fear of police retaliation, or having our livelihoods destroyed."
"The attorneys for Davis Wright Tremaine are to be commended for their work on this brief," said Osterreicher, who has been involved in this case for the last six years. "I believe that Jay [Goldberg] has crafted an excellent appeal, while Rob, Abigail and Jack at DWT have drafted an amicus brief that should help guide the court on this issue. Of course the overwhelming support from so many groups has been very gratifying and we hope the court will take judicial notice of that fact. I would also be remiss if I did not thank Lynn Oberlander and the Press Freedom Litigation Fund of First Look Media Works for their support of Doug's appeal. Thanks also go to Gregg Leslie at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for helping to rally support for the brief. Last but by now means least, I must thank Doug Higginbotham, who had to endure his unlawful arrest for just doing his job and for standing up for his, and in turn all of our rights, by pursuing this case."

***** UPDATE 3/1/17 *******
The seized cameras, phones and equipment belonging to visual journalists, Tonita Cervantes and Tracie Williams, was returned to them today.
Today, the NPPA joined by the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Native American Journalists Association, the Online News Association and the Society of Professional Journalists sent a letter to Morton County State's Attorney, Allen Koppy, seeking the return of all equipment and personal items seized from visual journalists, Tonita Cervantes and Tracie Williams subsequent to their arrest last week while covering events at the Dakota Access Pipeline camp. Their attorney, Matthew E. Kelley, of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz, LLP made a similar request yesterday.
This follows on the heels of a previous letter sent by the same group urging officials to allow journalists to do their work at Standing Rock.
Today's letter also requests that "the charges be dropped against these two journalists in the interst of justice."

Today federal court Judge J. Paul Oetken denied a motion to dismiss by the City of New York allowing the case, Jason B. Nicholas v. The City of New York, to proceed. The civil rights lawsuit was brought pro se (on his own) by Mr. Nicholas, a professional photojournalist, against Defendants William Bratton, Stephen Davis, Michael DeBonis, and the City of New York on December 8, 2015. The suit alleges that Defendants violated Mr. Nicholas' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights by revoking his NYPD issued press credential without due process and in retaliation for the content of his speech.
The Order and opinion out of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that the government cannot pick and choose among which newsgatherers to allow access to a scene or to information and that the NYPD's restriction on newsgathering may have violated the First Amendment. The court also found that journalists may very well have a First Amendment interest in their NYPD-issued press credential that calls for due process protections, and that the NYPD summary revocation of press credentials may have been without due process, violating the Fourteenth Amendment. Additionally, the court found that the city may have an unconstitutional unwritten policy to obstruct and interfere with newsgathering in general and with Mr. Nicholas' newsgathering in particular.

Amidst all the hysterical reports that the sky is falling or it's literally raining drones, Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis recently introduced a thoughtful Micro Drone amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act (AIRR Act). The amendment would create a new "Micro UAS Classification" of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), improving safety, access and compliance while also encouraging innovation. For the first time, micro drones would be permitted for commercial purposes, appropriately advancing what many believe to be the smallest, safest and fastest-growing sector of the UAS community. The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee very commendably voted to accept that amendment without any voiced opposition and then approved the entire AIRR Act, as amended.
It is crucial to note this legislation would not deregulate the use of UAS, but rather proposes regulations containing five commonsense rules that are easy to remember and follow. In fact, many of these rules already exist to oversee safe practices for the recreational use of drones. Under the new amendment, micro UAS (mUAS) would be required to operate at: "(1) less than 400 feet above ground level; (2) at an airspeed of not greater than 40 knots; (3) within the visual line of sight of the operator; (4) during daylight; and (5) at least 5 statute miles from the geographic center of an airport [with an exception for those who provide notice and obtain permission]."
In response to this legislative initiative the FAA announced the formation of an aviation rulemaking committee composed of industry stakeholders to develop recommendations for a similar regulatory framework. Representatives for a coalition of more than a dozen news organizations (including NPPA) will participate as committee members.
Given the complicated and often-disregarded current FAA regulations for small UAS (sUAS), which includes every type of unmanned system under 55 pounds, we can only hope this bill will be enacted as approved and then implemented as quickly as possible. We believe that adopting the micro UAS rule will be far more effective in approving and regulating commercial use than waiting for a final FAA rule under the current Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, petitioning for a Section 333 Exemption, or operating a UAS "unlawfully" in fear of FAA enforcement action.
It is widely accepted that people are far more likely to abide by commonsense rules that impose the least burdensome restrictions. This is true for operators of small unmanned aircraft systems as well. The current proposed FAA requirements that are expected to be in place later this year include aeronautical knowledge testing on eleven topics, traveling to test facilities, and re-testing every two years—requirements that create high barriers for low-risk users, increasing the potential for widespread non-compliance.
The on-going restrictions on most sUAS uses are simply not sustainable or justifiable. Enacting a new category of mUAS subject to risk-based safety and operational restrictions will enable and enhance the safety of all aspects of UAS operations, including, but not limited to: newsgathering, educational, humanitarian and commercial use. It also will relieve the FAA from some of the administrative burdens of granting exemptions for low-risk operations, thus allowing the agency to focus its resources on the more challenging aspects of safely integrating UAS use into the national air space, which is another reason the FAA should immediately begin work to support mUAS approval.
Employing simple and familiar rules that already exist for recreational use and applying them to the smallest and safest UAS category, streamlines the process for everyone (including journalists) by encouraging a culture of safety and widespread voluntary compliance, while at the same time advancing innovation. Hopefully Congress will agree and pass an FAA reauthorization act that includes the mUAS amendment.
Mickey H. Osterreicher is general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) which is part of the News Media Coalition, advocating for the use of UAS for newsgathering. He has met with the FAA and congressional staff to discuss these issues as well as participated in stakeholder meetings held by the National Telecommunications and Information Agency regarding UAS privacy concerns.

The NPPA, joined by 13 other organizations filed comments today with the New York State Office of Court Administration ("OCA") in support of proposals to revise and update the Unified Court System ("UCS") rules regarding electronic recording and audio-visual coverage of court proceedings in the state.
The letter also supports proposed revisions to the definition of audio-visual coverage and other proposed clarifications excluding still photography from the definition of audio-visual coverage. Additionally the letter affirms support of the proposed goals set by the Communications & Media Law Committee of the Association of the Bar of New York City: "(i) consistently maintaining the distinction between audio-visual coverage and still photography throughout the rules and using consistent terminology to avoid confusion; (ii) emphasizing that there should be a presumption in favor of permitting both audio-visual and still photographic coverage to the extent consistent with Section 52 of the Civil Rights Law, with ultimate decisions left to the presiding judges; and (iii) eliminating certain restrictions on coverage created or continued by the proposed revisions that go beyond the requirements of Section 52."
It urges OCA "to exercise its authority to ensure that New York's court system, which has been a beacon of progressive policies for the nation, does not fall further behind than it already has under some of the anachronistic rules promulgated at a time when televisions used vacuum tubes and at best could receive 12 channels, broadcast in black & white for a few hours a day."
Addressing those opposed to the proposed changes, NPPA general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher wrote, "the tired arguments that camera coverage will: prejudice a defendant's fair trial rights, their right of privacy, the prosecution's ability to have witnesses comply with subpoenas, as well as the detrimental effect cameras will have on lawyers, judges, and other participants are just that – threadbare and unsubstantiated. But the more crucial point is not how cameras affect either side in a litigation. It is whether cameras will increase the public's confidence in our justice system. Nothing is more fundamental to our democratic system of governance than the right of the people to know how their government is functioning on their behalf. That, we submit, is a higher value which should drive the debate here; and is the central point about which the Bar Association, the Unified Court System and, indeed, the legislature should be concerned."
The groups joining in the letter were: Associated Press Media Editors, Associated Press Photo Managers, The Deadline Club/New York City Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, Media Law Resource Center, New York News Publishers Association, New York Press Photographers Association, New York State Broadcasters Association, Inc., The NewsGuild of New York Local 31003, CWA, North Jersey Media Group, Online News Association, Radio Television Digital News Association, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Scripps Media, Inc., d/b/a WKBW-TV and Society of Professional Journalists.

NPPA Joined by 32 Other Media Groups Urges Gov. Brown to Veto CA Anti-Drone Bill
September 3rd, 2015 by Mickey Osterreicher and tagged Access, California, first amendment, free speech, journalism, national press photographers association, Newsgathering, photojournalism
Today the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) sent a letter to California Governor Jerry Brown urging him to veto SB 142, which would create strict liability for anyone operating a drone over the "airspace overlaying the real property" of another person or entity without "express consent." The letter was joined by 32 other media organizations.
"We believe this bill will unduly restrict the development of new uses for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) by establishing a technology-specific restriction that is impossible to comply with, impossible to enforce, and likely will conflict with the existing authority and proposed new regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), said NPPA general counsel Mickey H. Osterreicher, in the letter. He went on to say, "while the bill acknowledges the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, its language flies in the face of both common sense and federal preemption," adding "the chilling legal repercussions of this bill will tax an overburdened court system and thwart the federal government's efforts, in which we are participating, to bring about a sensible regulatory regime for this new technology."

Judge Halts Enforcement of Unconstitutional Nude Photo Law in Arizona
July 10th, 2015 by Mickey Osterreicher and tagged Access, first amendment, free speech, journalist, Newsgathering, newspapers, NPPA, photographer, photographers, photography, photojournalism, photojournalist
PHOENIX – A federal court today permanently ordered Arizona state prosecutors to halt enforcement of a 2014 law restricting the display of nude images.
The order approved a joint final settlement between the Arizona attorney general and the coalition of plaintiffs which include the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), Arizona booksellers, book and newspaper publishers, and librarians, who filed a federal lawsuit challenging the law.
The order resolves all claims in the lawsuit, Antigone Books v. Brnovich, and states that plaintiffs are entitled to attorney's fees.
"We are very pleased with the outcome of this case and our representation by our attorneys in this matter," said Charles W. L. ("Chip") Deale, NPPA Executive Director.
"This is a complete victory for publishers, booksellers, librarians, photographers, and others against an unconstitutional law," said Media Coalition Executive Director David Horowitz, whose members include plaintiffs in the suit. "Now they won't have to worry about being charged with a felony for offering newsworthy and artistic images."
The law, Arizona Revised Statute 13-1425, was initially passed with the stated intent of combating "revenge porn," a term popularly understood to describe a person's malicious posting of an identifiable, private image online with the intent and effect of harming an ex-lover. But, as plaintiffs maintained in the lawsuit, the law wasn't limited to revenge and criminalized far more than offensive acts. It could have led to the conviction of someone posting a nude photo with no intent to harm the person depicted. This would include, for example, an artistic photographer who creates an anthology of his images of nudes — as well as the book's publisher, seller, or librarian.
As part of the lawsuit, NPPA General Counsel Mickey H. Osterreicher expressed fears in his declaration "that the NPPA's members (including me) are at risk of prosecution under the Act simply for doing our job—the accurate and comprehensive reporting of the news. The Act would subject the NPPA's members to prosecution for taking newsworthy, non-obscene photographs and videos, and either offering those photographs and videos for publication, or themselves publishing the photographs and videos through electronic or other media." "With this very comprehensive settlement, that concern has now been alleviated," said NPPA President Mark Dolan.
Likewise, a person who shared a photograph could have been charged with a felony even if the person depicted had no expectation that the image would be kept private and suffered no harm, such as a photojournalist who posted images of victims of war or natural disaster. As a result, the law applied to any person displaying an image of nudity, no matter how newsworthy, artistic, educational, or historic.
"This is an important vindication of the First Amendment and a great resolution for our clients," said ACLU Staff Attorney Lee Rowland, who, along with lawyers from the ACLU of Arizona and Dentons US LLP, represents the plaintiffs. "We commend the state for agreeing not to enforce a broad statute that chilled and criminalized speech unquestionably protected by the Constitution."
Dan Pochoda, attorney for the ACLU of Arizona, added: "We always believed that it would be a waste of the Arizona taxpayers' money to continue defending this unconstitutional statute. We're pleased that the court's order means this law will not be enforced, all without additional and unnecessary litigation." Today's order is at: http://mediacoalition.org/antigone-books-v-brnovich/
The plaintiffs were: Antigone Books L.L.C.; Intergalactic, Inc., D/B/A, Bookmans; Changing Hands Bookstore, Inc.; Copper News Book Store; Mostly Books; Voicemedia Group, Inc.; American Booksellers Foundation For Free Expression; Association Of American Publishers; Freedom To Read Foundation; and the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA).

This time I am pleased to introduce you fantastic interview with Russian designer Maria Katkova. I must admit that I didn't know much about her work, but I can promise you, that if you read this interview and check some of her commercial interior designs, you will become an admirer. Her designs are full of creativity and originality. It is impossible not to be inspired by Maria Katkova's projects.
Maria Katkova is a Russian top interior designer and part of our inspirational world because of her ability to unite different arts in an almost magical way, always with a driving mysterious force of creative improvisation guiding her every move, which follows a style of abstract expressionism. In this exclusive interview, she talked about her work in commercial interior and product design, art and photography, and unveiled some key trends in interior design for 2014. Take a look! You can't miss it!
What is your philosophy in the field of creation?
As you work, can you tell the boundaries between design and art? Or is one thing inseparable from the other?
For me, art and design seems like a couple of indecisive elements in the strong magnetic field of contemporary reality. They are touching each other for the nano moments only just to jump off at the opposite direction. But the truth is, they are all at the same space, driven by the same mysterious force of creative improvisation.
Yes, it has been a long time passion of mine. A sort of voyeuristic pleasure of freezing some small moments of life. And I am always trying to find something attractively irregular in the surrounding situations.
How about product design? Tell us a bit about your collection of jewelry and the objects you design?
I have to confess, I am one of those (probably, rare) designers who cannot do nothing with their hands. I can only produce ideas and sketches…, but I am very good in finding top professionals who can deliver and I am very happy about it.
In interior design , how would you describe your style?
I don't think I have my own distinctive style, but sometimes, I am thinking about my works as a form of abstract expressionism.
What inspires you? How do you create an interior design project, whether it is a commercial one or a home?
The endless variety of human beings is my mood board. Starting a project, I am studying the client attentively and I write (in my mind) the story, script of his future life in this particular space, where, later, will be the stage of his real life drama. It could be a private housing, commercial space and even an office – the only important thing – the client has to be the interesting person.
In your opinion, which will be the top trends in interior design for 2014?
Seems like the next new thing will be the hipster glam, oversize objects, shapeless, cozy and, I really hope, comfortable furniture for informal setting.
I think, and I am really hoping, the next trend is transforming the convenient shopping into something more adventurous, hunting-like experience, when people escape the monstrosity of shopping malls and will happily shop at the small, individually designed, retail space.
What seduces you about Boca do Lobo?
Desperate audacity in design and extreme quality in production.

CINDERELLA - OCTAVE CHANUTE GLIDER INVENTOR SOUVENIR SHEET OF FOUR
Full gum on reverse, never hinged souvenir panel of four views honoring Octave Chanute, whose early wing designs helped develop the first airplanes. A must for any airplane, aeronautics collector. Octave Chanute immigrated to the United States in 1838. He attended private schools in New York and began his training as a budding civil engineer in 1848. He was widely considered brilliant and innovative in the engineering profession. Chanute first became interested in aviation watching a balloon take off in Peoria, IL, in 1856. Applying his engineering background, Chanute collected all available data from flight experimenters around the world and combined it with the knowledge gathered as a civil engineer in the past. At the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, Chanute organized in collaboration with Albert Zahm a highly successful International Conference on Aerial Navigation. Chanute was too old to fly himself, so he partnered with younger experimenters, including Augustus M. Herring and William Avery. In 1896 Chanute, Herring, and Avery tested a design based on the work of German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, as well as hang gliders of their own design in the dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan. These experiments convinced Chanute that the best way to achieve extra lift without a prohibitive increase in weight was to stack several wings one above the other, an idea proposed by the British engineer Francis Wenham in 1866 and realized in flight by Lilienthal in the 1890s. Chanute introduced the "strut-wire" braced wing structure that would be used in powered biplanes of the future. The Wright brothers based their glider designs on the Chanute "double-decker," as they called it. A new design of a biplane glider was developed and flown in 1897. Chanute was in contact with the Wright brothers starting in 1900, when Wilbur wrote to him after reading Progress in Flying Machines. Chanute helped to publicize the Wright brothers' work, and provided consistent encouragement, visiting their camp near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1901, 1902, and 1903. The Wrights and Chanute exchanged hundreds of letters between 1900 and 1910. When the Aero Club of Illinois was founded on February 10, 1910, Chanute served as its first president until his death in November 1910.

Q: SQL - Avoiding a Union All I have 2 databases: items (With ID and Name) and countries (with ID and Country Name).  I'm looking for a query that lists all items without the country blank as well as each item with the matching country.  Example:
ItemID ItemName
1      Item1
2      Item2

ItemID Country
1      US
1      Canada

Desired Output:
ItemID ItemName Country
1      Item1    NULL
1      Item1    US
1      Item1    Canada
2      Item2    NULL

Without the first line, it's just a simple join:
SELECT
     i.[ItemID]
     ,i.[ItemName]
     ,ic.[Country]
 FROM ItemCountry ic
    INNER JOIN Item i ON ic.ItemID = i.ItemID

However, the only way I've figured out to get the first line to appear is by doing a union:
SELECT
     i.[ItemID]
     ,i.[ItemName]
     ,ic.[Country]
 FROM ItemCountry ic
    INNER JOIN Item i ON ic.ItemID = i.ItemID
UNION all
SELECT
     i.[ItemID]
     ,i.[ItemName]
     ,NULL

I would like to avoid a union as the databases are large and I plan on filtering out a subset after I have the full list but I don't know if it's possible.
The filtering is for selecting the items on page #X, so it can't be done until I have the full (ordered) list.

A: Just put the union as a subquery.
SELECT *
FROM (
        SELECT
             i.[ItemID]
             ,i.[ItemName]
             ,ic.[Country]
        FROM ItemCountry ic
        FULL JOIN Item i ON ic.ItemID = i.ItemID
        UNION all
        SELECT
             i.[ItemID]
             ,i.[ItemName]
             ,NULL
      ) as T
WHERE <something>
ORDER BY <T.someField>

A: One method uses INNER JOIN and UNION ALL:
SELECT i.ItemID, i.ItemName, ic.Country
FROM ItemCountry ic JOIN
     Item i
     ON ic.ItemID = i.ItemID
UNION ALL
SELECT i.ItemID, i.ItemName, NULL
FROM Item i;

I think this is the simplest way.  I wouldn't use FULL JOIN when INNER JOIN is appropriate.

Le Compact Font Format (CFF), littéralement « format de fonte compact » en anglais, aussi appelé CFF/Type 2, est un format de compactage de fonte numérique développé par Adobe Systems. Il permet l'utilisation du Type 2 de charstring, une description de glyphes PostScript plus compact que celui des fontes de Type 1 ou des fontes CID, grâce à l'utilisation d'opérateurs à plusieurs paramètres, des valeurs prédéfinies par défaut, un codage plus efficace et des sous-routines réutilisables. Le CFF ou TrueType peuvent être utilisés dans le format de fonte numérique OpenType.
Les fontes CFF peuvent être incorporées dans les fichiers PDF (depuis la version 1.2).

I already tried by changing the port no from 10000 to 10001.Still facing the issue.Please any one know this.Thanks for giving yours valuable time.I am using java 1.8 and Hadoop 2.7.3 , Hive 2.1.1.For your information i have created a new project as it is in the github link(didn't import the same project to the workspace)

A: This error occurred to me when it can't find hive-service-*.jar in hadoop classpath.
Just copy the hive-service-*.jar to your hadoop lib folder or export classpath in hadoop-env.sh. I have mentioned how to add classpath below.
Add this line in hadoop-env.sh:
export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH:/usr/local/hive/lib/hive-*.jar

Change the path of the jars to point to hive installation folder.


Assuming I am seeking employment for the purposes of Direct Impact, how does one assess the Impact of a job which does not directly fall under the 80,000 Hours recommended causes.
For example, let's consider my current employment as a Data Scientist for Emagin Clean Technologies Inc. Emagin creates software for water management systems. The primary feature of the software creates forecasts for water demand and recommends control schedules accordingly. Other features include asset monitoring.
Basically, the water industry has been understandably slow to adapt new analysis technology to leverage the tons of monitoring data they have accumulated.
As climate change increases the amount of extreme weather events and populations grow, the typical laissez-faire approach to water management becomes unfeasible. The effect of misaligned incentives becomes catastrophic, as shown by the droughts in California and South Africa. Having accessible analytics allows for a better understanding of the system being examined. Thus, assuming political will, incentives can be restructured, plans/investments can be made and human suffering mitigated.
There may be other forms of reactive climate change mitigation which are more impactful? The effects of climate change on municipalities who can buy the software are minimal compare to other causes? The skill set required to complete this work is easily transferred to a different, more impactful domain?
Try asking some of the same questions 80,000 Hours does when they look at careers for themselves!
Direct impact: This is the hardest thing to calculate, but an easy substitute question is: "How much am I helping the world, compared to if I didn't exist and someone else had taken this job?"
For some jobs, the personal views and strategies of the employee matter a lot (an election choosing which politician gets a "job" could have a huge effect on how much good the person in that "job" can do). Other jobs aren't this way (which of two accountants gets a job probably won't matter very much to the world, unless one of them was grossly incompetent).
For your engineering position, you might think: "I was chosen over someone. How good would that person have been if I didn't take the job? What are some unusual, unlikely, or particularly skilled things I've done on the job?" Even if your job itself has a lot of high-impact features, your direct impact may not be as high unless the person you "replaced" wouldn't have done a very good job.
Questions about this idea (known as "replaceability") are complicated to figure out, since you can never really know who would have taken your job (or what that person is doing now, since they didn't take it), but it still provides a useful starting point.
Earnings: Engineering tends to do well on this criterion, but that still depends on what you do with the money you earn.
Career capital: How well does your job set you up to do high-impact work later? Some ways that engineering might create this "capital": You rise to an executive position later on, you start your own company using your experience, you consult for governments and help them set up better water policy than they would have otherwise, etc.
Ease of competition: This factor only really matters for choosing a job, so it doesn't seem relevant here.
Your last question (about how your skillset might transfer to a more impactful domain) seems really important. Have you looked at open engineering positions on the 80,000 Hours Job Board or in the EA Job Postings Facebook group? Those positions are likely to have few "competitors" (since most EA orgs are small), and thus, high "replaceability" value (if you don't take the job, they might not find anyone, or find a weaker candidate).
Let me know if you have questions about any of this!

EEON Home / Articles / Kausar Sreckov Profile
Growing up in a family of three in the beautiful island of Mauritius, at the age of 2, Kausar suffered from encephalitis and lost all mobility to walk, sit and speak. With several years of physio and speech therapy, Kausar got control over her sitting and around 90% of her speech. She was also able to stand using the support of a walking frame. Kausar started school at the age of 5 where she progressed successfully. She has not let her disability be a barrier to her normal daily living. She is a real fighter. Finishing year 12, she joined Mauritius Institute of Training and Development as an Administration Officer and Executive Assistant to the CEO.
Kausar has been a dedicated employee with good attitude, always punctual, very efficient in whatever she touches. She was reporting to both the divisional manager of Corporate Affairs and the CEO. She had great tactful solving skills. In all she was a very good asset to the organisation and helped in the smooth running of my department. The barriers she had was the roads which were not accessible, so she was not able to go anywhere except to work and back home.
After 8 years of service at MITD, Kausar decided to move to Melbourne, in 2011 where she would pursue her Bachelor of Business (Human Resources Management). Arriving in Australia, her family bought her a mobility scooter and Kausar became fully independent. Shortly after few months, she met the love of her life, Lazar. The two have been together ever since. She graduated in October 2014 and made her whole family and partner proud. Her partner has been of constant help and support in all aspects of her life.
Between 2014 to 2019, she did not have work rights, so she helped her partner with Mindfulness Awareness. They got married in May 2016 and continued their life together. After promoting Mindfulness in Sydney and Brisbane, they moved back to Melbourne. Kausar then took on some humanitarian volunteer jobs. She started to volunteer for 6 months for a Migration Agent, then joined Red Cross in May 2018 where she was a Recruitment and Administration Volunteer in the Emergency department. In November 2018, she moved to the HR department as a Disability Champion. While undertaking 2 days a week volunteer in Red Cross, she also joined Australian HR Institute where she volunteered another two days a week. Her volunteering had helped her to develop new HR skills and knowledge.
On the 17 January 2019, she was finally granted her full work rights visa. She joined Dual Foods Pty Ltd in February on a one-month contract as an Administration Officer. This was her first paid job. Following this contract, and after few months of constant rejections, she landed into a 6 week long service leave contract at Melbourne Airport. Her latest work included working as a team to assist the People and Experience team at Melbourne Airport to improve accessibility for travellers with disability. She conducted general tour of the whole airport to compile the different changes needed to make the accessibility of both travellers and employees better. She prepared a report on workplace amendments to support employees and travellers with disabilities, that was well received by Melbourne Airport executives.
Kausar is part of the UN and was on the board of Training and Employment of Disabled Persons Board back in Mauritius where she contributed a lot to the welfare and advocacy for people with disability. As a professional Administrator and a Disability Champion, Kausar has acquired a variety of experience in both the commercial and educational settings. Throughout her career, she has acquired a variety of qualifications and experience in both the commercial and educational settings.
Kausar's husband suffers from anxiety and depression and he cannot work. She is the sole income earner of the household. She currently uses mobility scooter to move around. Her career focus has been to assist Manager's and teams with her abundant experience in business, administration, human resources, marketing and more. Through her disability, she has been able to deliver good outcomes. But as many people with disability, she still struggles to find work for herself so that she can find security, whilst volunteering and giving her time to help others with disability.
We can often get lost in a sea of plans and strategies to improve accessibility, inclusion and equity in organisations. It's our connection through these stories that make us see and recognise the person and not the disability. These stories inspire us to continue working to achieve equality and inclusion for all people, as Kausar continues to do.
Kausar has agreed to provide her contact details and is happy to hear from you.

Just how different are domestic and international Chinese firms' corporate culture?
on: July 09, 2018 In: Business, Business Practice, Consumer, Tech, Media & TelecomTags: 1 Comment
By Dr. Sacha Cody
Marc, an experienced executive in his 40s, was excited to join a Chinese multinational corporation (MNC) in Western Europe. He sensed the company was going places and getting on board now would be exciting and good for his already impressive career.
Three years later, he was compelled to leave. He first sensed problems when he was not able to respond to questions raised about his department's performance at regularly scheduled weekend meetings that were arranged—initially without his knowledge—by Chinese expatriates in the leadership team. While it is illegal to ask employees to work on weekends in several European nations, Marc did not believe he had any reason to be suspicious at first. One day, however, the Managing Director—a Chinese expatriate and veteran of the firm—wanted to introduce Marc to a new Department Head who, surprisingly, has the same title as Marc. Ever the pragmatist, Marc knew his time was up and he negotiated a leaving package before officially resigning.
"You must have been very upset?" I asked during our long interview. "Not really" he responded. "On day one here, I introduced myself to someone I thought was a colleague but it turned out I was taking her job and this was the first she heard about it."
The cat and mouse game between management and Marc—where both sides tried to get what they want—is, on the one hand, a kiss-and-punch story seen and heard inside MNCs the world over. But it is also troubling. It reveals this particular Chinese MNC's disregard for local labour laws as well as its leaders' inability to nurture a collaborative environment with local leaders like Marc who, as one look at his CV will demonstrate, is one of the most experienced executives available.
What do we know about international Chinese firms?
What do we really know about what goes on inside international Chinese enterprises? How familiar are we with their corporate cultures, decision making processes, hierarchies and power structures, and equality and diversity frameworks? And what do we know about the experiences of employees—both Chinese and non-Chinese—inside these firms?
On the one hand, we know a great deal about Chinese firms in China. Insider accounts as well as numerous independent researchers and scholars have painted a picture of Chinese domestic corporate culture as an assemblage of Chinese tradition (such as Confucian hierarchy and loyalty, and "traditional Chinese" cultural activities), imported western management practices (such as productivity responsibilities falling on the individual), and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authority and Party cells (where a political and ideological agenda merges with the commercial).
But when it comes to international Chinese firms, we do not really know how similar or different they are compared to domestic Chinese firms. For the past year, I have been researching international Chinese enterprises and their organisational dynamics, trying to understand questions like those posed above. This is an important topic. While many Chinese say there are only three international Chinese enterprises—Haier, Huawei, and Lenovo—reality indicates otherwise. In fact, there are approximately 8,000 Chinese enterprises operating internationally in 164 countries. About 43 percent of employees are non-Chinese. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the future, working in a Chinese-owned or Chinese-invested firm could be a reality for a large proportion of the global white-collar population.
Indeed, better insights into the dynamics of international Chinese enterprises will help us understand and respond to incidents such as ZTE's ongoing fiasco in the US and their violation of export sanctions, which they lied about; automaker Geely's acquisition of close to 10 percent of Daimler Corporation's stock through derivatives and options—thereby circumventing disclosure laws—which led to significant German suspicion and distrust; as well as the debate underway in Australia concerning its largest dairy farm—now owned by Chinese investors—and the recent mass board resignation concerning disagreements over management structures, investment decisions, and environmental management.
As international Chinese enterprises compete higher up the value chain in 'sophisticated' markets across Australasia, North America and Western Europe, political realities are compelling them to undertake significant reputation and brand building exercises as they try very hard to be 'liked.' This is especially the case for firms who are taking their domestic company global rather than pursue acquisition-led growth. The introduction of sleek mission statements and corporate public relations programs should make us more determined to understand what makes international Chinese firms tick rather than take them at face value.
Stepping Inside a Chinese MNC
The first thing we need to understand is who actually works inside these firms. From one perspective, international Chinese firms are not totally 'Chinese' in the sense that they comprise—and partner with—an incredibly diverse range of people and stakeholders from all over the world. From this perspective, they are quite embedded in global capitalism and global business norms. To take one example, many international Chinese firms work with a predominantly Western group of consultants and spokespersons to craft corporate missions, visions, marketing materials, and design media placements around the world. Marc's enthusiasm for joining his past employer is a common sentiment among white-collar workers in the West and many are flocking to work at or with Chinese firms. In some respects, a unique form of Chinese soft power surrounds its MNCs, especially tech firms.
Within this diversity, however, my research found powerful divisions that form around traits including nationality, ethnicity and demographic characteristics like age.
Let me briefly introduce several groups illuminated by these divisions. The first is mature Chinese professionals, who were trained in Western MNCs in China. They believe Chinese MNCs have not yet learnt the 'rules of the game'—referring to what they take to be global business norms—but need to if they are to be considered truly global and taken seriously. Originally defined by their desire to seek employment in non-Chinese workspaces, glass ceilings at their previous (non-Chinese) employers compelled many mature professionals to seek opportunities inside international Chinese firms, something unimaginable to them only five years ago.
Senior non-Chinese executives, another group I observed inside Chinese MNCs, hold similar views regarding Chinese MNCs' corporate culture. Consider the following comment by a senior Australian who worked at Huawei:
As Huawei evolves I am more and more adding my perspective gained as an Australian who has spent 23 years living in Greater China. That experience is what Chinese companies need to be truly global.
Many of the other groups I observed—especially senior Chinese nationals—do not take well to these paternalistic viewpoints. Let me discuss young professionals, however, who are Chinese nationals born in the 1980s and 1990s. They reject the view that their employer needs to adjust to global business 'norms.' They see China as a global power already and Chinese MNCs as sites of meritocracy and opportunities for social advancement. Found all over the organisation, many young professionals obtain overseas postings early in their career, a move called 'going to the frontlines.'
As we can see, there are incompatible views held by different groups of people working in and with international Chinese firms.
But let us return to Marc. Why did he get treated the way he did? From one point of view, Marc failed to acknowledge and adjust to the very different corporate culture he found himself in. But I would argue something else is going on. Specifically, Marc's employer had ambitious commercial targets that would make, as it was put to me, "any European company extremely uncomfortable." These targets, which are actually set by headquarters, amplify corporate behaviors found in China—e.g. secretive decision-making by management and a disregard for employees outside the inner circle of power—rather than encourage Chinese expatriates to take locals like Marc seriously.
While there are numerous nuances my research is uncovering, Marc's story reveals that the starting point for understanding international Chinese enterprises' corporate culture is that they share striking similarities with their domestic counterparts.
