MORE companies are planning to hire additional staff in this half of the year compared with the first quarter, according to a survey.
The survey report yesterday also said companies will have to adjust their employment strategies in line with the Fair Consideration Framework, which will impose stricter rules on hiring foreigners when it takes effect next month.
About 47 per cent of the 425 employers surveyed intend to increase their headcount over the next six months, up 7.8 percentage points from the first quarter.
Only 3.5 per cent said they intend to trim employee numbers.
"Growing business sentiment is having a positive effect on the recruitment market," said Mr Emmanuel White, the regional director of Hudson Singapore, the employment consultancy that conducted the survey. "Compared with a year ago, the picture is much more positive," he added.
The banking and financial services industry has the strongest hiring plans, with 56.3 per cent of employers polled intending to hire more employees in this half - up 6.3 percentage points from the first three months of the year.
The health-care and life sciences industry has the lowest hiring plans among all sectors surveyed, with 41.9 per cent of employers looking to increase headcount.
It was followed closely by the consumer sector, with 42 per cent of employers looking to hire over the next six months - down 1.2 percentage points from the first quarter.
"As major players in the sector continue to reduce redundancies to react more swiftly to the market, we expect to see continued conservative hiring sentiment in the consumer sector in the next few months," said Mr White.
"However, critical roles such as product, brand marketing and management still have good opportunities."
Although employers are still cautious about their hiring plans, the sentiment is generally more upbeat than it was during the same period last year, said Ms Linda Teo, the country manager of employment services firm ManpowerGroup Singapore. ManpowerGroup's quarterly hiring outlook survey also showed that Singapore firms expect to hire more staff in this quarter and are more upbeat than before.
The Fair Consideration Framework, which will require firms to advertise on a jobs bank before applying to hire foreigners, will make businesses reconsider their strategy in attracting talent, human resource firms said.
Companies might need more time to hire as a result of the policy, said Robert Walters Singapore associate director Joanne Chua. "Companies should ensure that an effective workforce planning strategy is in place and practise proactive hiring practices instead of reactive ones," she added.
Mr White said there is the possibility of employers making confidential or strategic hires for roles without advertising.
"We have also observed some companies hiring a 'job bank' officer in order to publish and monitor all openings they have," he added.

Hello my lovelies! I hope you are at peace today and enjoying yourselves. I bring to you today these 3 most delightful candles from Aroma Candle Shop based out of Los Angeles. These beauties are handmade soy candles and come in a variety of flavour/scents. My three choices were Bergamot/Tarragon, Cannabis Flower, & Amber Noir. I'm excited to share my thoughts and photo's with you below!
The next candle which we are all probably a bit curious about is the Cannabis Flower candle. As this does not smell like the full cannabis flower as you would think, this candle has beautiful tones of fern and earth in it. It is quite floral and delicate smelling which is very pleasant to the nose. This would be a great scent for the living room as it is calming and subtle.
The last divine candle that I have here is the Bergamot & Tarragon candle. Smelling refreshing and rejuvenating with hints of tarragon leaves, grapefruit and lime – complimented by bergamot aroma with notes of oakmoss and bamboo this is perfect for the bathroom and kitchen areas. Having the refreshing scent that is does, this candle smells uplifting and peaceful.

Q: How to two-way bind object to combo Box in windows application I have a windows application project with a list of objects and combobox. How is it possible to two way bind this object to combo box. In two way I mean that when I add some element in list, combobox datasource should change automatically.

A: List<T> won't do the job, you want BindingList<T>.

A: Maybe you can use an ObservableCollection as ListItems source. Then, add the new items to this Collection and it should update the List and the original DataSource.

A: I would have to agree with zapico - have a little look into observable collections.
Although, you could always just use an event handler such as selected item index changed!? I'm not sure on the correct name for the event handlers for a combo box on winforms as I'm studying ASP at the moment.

A: If your windows application is using "Windows Forms" the combobox has a DataSource property that you can use to bind to a source of data and a DisplayMember property that you can use to display a field in your textbox. An example of that can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w67sdsex.aspx
If your windows application is using WPF then the ComboBox has an ItemsSource property and a SelectedItem property that you can use for binding. Here is an in depth look at how to approach it in WPF:

British study shows: Vaccinated people can be so infectious
A Corona vaccination should not only protect against infection, for a long time experts hoped that vaccinated people would also pass on the virus less. A study now shows that despite full vaccination protection, people with breakthrough infections have a peak viral load similar to that of unvaccinated people and can effectively transmit the virus – even to fully vaccinated contacts. This is reported by Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland and refers to a study from Great Britain, which was published in the journal "The Lancet Infectious Diseases". In it, 602 contact persons…

Third vaccination after Johnson&Johnson: Is it necessary to refresh now?
Booster vaccination would be considered for people 18 and older, the EMA said in early October. Nevertheless, there is still uncertainty: Should people who are not in the risk groups also get vaccinated a third time? Dr. Eva Höltl, occupational physician and spokesperson for the "Austria vaccinates" initiative said that a second vaccine is necessary. The Johnson&Johnson vaccine is actually a so-called "one-time vaccine" and should only provide the highest possible protection through one injection. A second vaccination, as with other vaccines, was initially not required. That has since been…

Pope Visit Ireland 2018: People were moved as terminally ill Emma Mhic Mhathuna attended Pope Francis' Mass in Phoenix Park
Emma was caught up in the CervicalCheck scandal earlier this year
Terminally ill mum-of-five Emma Mhic Mhathuna took part in the offertory procession during today's Papal Mass at Phoenix Park.
Emma fell victim to the CervicalCheck scandal earlier this year after being incorrectly informed that her smear test results were normal up until she was sadly diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016.
She has campaigned calling for accountability in regards to the cervical screening controversy.
Today she arrived at the Phoenix Park in Dublin alongside her five children Natasha, Seamus, Mario, Oisin and Donnacha as well as friends Mai Ui Bhruic and Tomas O Bruic.
(Image: RTE)
Emma was also joined in the offertory procession by Olive Foley, widow of Ireland rugby star Anthony "Axel Foley and their children, Dan and Tony.
Emma's presence at the Phoenix Park Mass was a poignant moment for people, and many took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One wrote: "Delighted to see Emma Mhic Mhathuna and her family meeting Pope Francis during the Papal Mass in Phoenix Park today. Hoping that Emma makes a full recovery."

"Have just seen Emma Mhic Mhathuna and her beautiful young family at the Mass. Am left with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes," wrote another.
It is estimated that half a million people from Ireland and abroad attended the Papal Mass at Dublin's Phoenix Park today.
The event concluded the Pontiff's two-day visit to Ireland, and he has now returned to Rome.


Town's next Premier League outing comes in the form of Swansea City at the John Smith's Stadium.
Since Carlos Carvalhal's arrival in South Wales, the Swans has picked up 17 points from nine league games, five more than under predecessor Paul Clement managed in the first 18 games of the season.
The Welsh side come into the game on the back of a 4-1 victory over West Ham at the Liberty Stadium. Goals from Ki Sung-Yeung, Mike Van Der Hoorn, Andy King and a Jordan Ayew penalty capped off an emphatic performance to lift the Swans up to 13th in the table.
With two goals and two assists in his last four games, the South Korean midfielder's form has been a key part of Swansea's charge up the table. The former Celtic man has played the full 90 minutes in his last seven Premier League games.
Pacey full back Kyle Naughton has been an ever present under his new manager since serving a three-game suspension for violent conduct. The Yorkshire born defender provided the assist for Ki's winner against Burnley and provides a constant threat from the right-hand side.
The Ghanaian international has picked up 40 FPL points in the nine game weeks since Carlos Carvalhal took charge in December. The pacey frontman has helped himself to six goals and two assists in the Premier League this season and is Swansea's top goal scorer in all competitions.
Huddersfield Town Head Coach David Wagner will speak to the press on Friday ahead of the game at the John Smith's Stadium to give the latest update on team news.
There are still tickets available for this Saturday's Premier League clash against Swansea City via the Ticket Office and Terrier Exchange. To find out details, please click here.
The visitors played with ten men for over 80 minutes but would hang on to claim a point as Town couldn't find that killer touch in-front of goal.
Jordan Ayew was the man to see red for a challenge on Jonathan Hogg early on, as a combination of the woodwork and an inspired Lukasz Fabianski saved ensured the spoils were shared despite endless Blue and White pressure.
David Wagner made three changes to his side from the last outing against Spurs. Aaron Mooy returned from a respective knee injury in the place of Danny Williams, with Scott Malone and Tom Ince also recalled to the starting team ahead of Terence Kongolo- out with what the Head Coach described as a knock- and Collin Quaner.
Town began this crunch encounter with superb positivity, but couldn't manage to capitalise on two early chances. Good work from Scott Malone to work his way into space down the left to fashion a cross ended with neither Alex Pritchard or Rajiv van La Parra able to provide the definitive goalwards touch, followed by Steve Mounié striking the side netting having been slipped through by Pritchard's intricate pass between the lines.
As the Terriers looked to take reasonable control in the hunt for that elusive opener, the visitors would have to play the remaining 80 minutes a man light as Jordan Ayew was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver for a high challenge on the standing leg of 'skipper Jonathan Hogg.
Hoggy instantly looked to punish the Swans for Ayew's dismissal as a powerful strike took a wicked deflection away, only for the succeeding move to conclude with the unlikely attacking presence of Christopher Schindler looping a header inches over the bar from an accurate Rajiv van La Parra delivery from the right flank.
Carlos Carvalhal was aiming to ensure his 10-man outfit was structured in the way of a Town offensive unit thoroughly intent on keeping all three points in HD1. Patience was a key characteristic required in order to find a way of breaking down the visitors' defensive stance nonetheless.
Chances would begin to harness some way or the other; Tom Ince had a duo of efforts valiantly blocked from two of the Swans' back five, Mawson and Van Der Hoorn, with Alex Pritchard having the same piece of luck as a red shirt once again diverted away before Fabianski was close to being forced into a save.
In truth, it was backs-to-the-wall for the South Wales side as Town pressed in abundance; albeit only half-chances for the time being at least, as neat moves crafted in and around the penalty area were rarely being polished with that final, killer pass to open up a clear opportunity.
A timely worked passage down the right culminated in Florent Hadergjonaj- celebrating the announcement of a permanent summer transfer to West Yorkshire earlier this week- delivering invitingly towards the un-marked Tom Ince. Tom's connection wasn't strong enough to guide on target, and the move came to an end as the supporting Steve Mounié also missed with a glance at the far-post as the ball dropped down from Ince's initial header.
The hard-working ethic was there for all to see, and Town certainly weren't finding it particularly difficult to advance into useful offensive positions as the interval approached; just that final ball was eluding the Blue and Whites.
Leading by example was Jonathan Hogg; the 'skipper led the press tactic of winning the ball back effectively, and also saw the first chance after the restart fly agonisingly wide of the post with a low, skimming thunderbolt from distance.
That pattern of Town not being to turn pressure into goals reared its head once more as Scott Malone couldn't bundle home inside the six-yard box from yet another inch-perfect Florent Hadergjonaj cross.
For all that Swansea soaked up, the in-form side had a great chance whilst giving many a Town fan heart palpitations of the highest degree; setting the precedent for a flurry of goalmouth activity.
Mike Van Der Hoorn sprung the offside trap from a free-kick to get in behind the Terriers' defence, but the Dutchman's touch was to be desired despite a handful of home players being slow to react.
Back at the other end, Steve Mounié's sensational volley as the ball fell from the sky rattled back off the cross-bar via an inspired fingertip save from the resilient Fabianski.
Just beyond the hour mark and all associated with Huddersfield Town would have been wondering just as to how this match remained goalless. The impressive Hadergjonaj latched onto Aaron Mooy's corner before bending wide of the target by a matter of inches; not the first attempt which has been a whisker away from giving the Terriers what would have been a deserved lead for sure.
Swansea's 'skipper also led the way for his team in light of keeping the Blue and Whites, and Tom Ince, at bay. The Argentine timed a sliding intervention to perfection as Ince advanced into a shooting position on the right-hand side of the penalty area allowing lines to cleared.
Scott Malone did his best to set-up one of the arriving cavalry consisting of Quaner, Ince and Mounié with a delicious ball across the face of goal, but still no Terrier could break the deadlock with the necessary touch into the back of the open net.
Mounié eventually managed to clamber onto the end of Malone's next high, looming delivery, and despite leaping highest to win the header over the on-rushing Fabianski and Fernandez, the Benin striker couldn't add to his season tally as it marginally landed the wrong side of the post.
The post itself would vitally deny Town what would've been a late, late winner as injury-time beckoned. A trademark Hadergjonaj cross was met with Tom Ince heading downwards with intent, but it was to hit high up on the upright to round off a goalless day on the offensive front.
The John Smith's Stadium will see back-to-back Premier League action as Crystal Palace make the trip to Kirklees a week today (March 17, 3pm).

Texas Road Traffic State Trooper
Two guys driving through Texas get pulled over by a state trooper. The cop walks up and taps on the driver's window, the driver rolls it down, and the trooper smacks the driver in the head with his night stick.
"Ow!" says the driver. "Why'd you do that?"
The trooper says, "You're in Texas, son. When I pull you over, you'll have your license ready."
The driver says, "I'm sorry, officer; I'm not from around here."
The trooper writes the guy a ticket and gives his license back, then walks around to the car's passenger side and taps on the window. The passenger rolls the window down, and the trooper smacks him with his night stick.
"Ow!" says the passenger. "What'd you do that for?"
The trooper says, "Just making your wish come true."
"What the hell does that mean?" asks the guy.
"Two miles down the road, you were gonna say, "I wish that lousy asshole would've tried that shit with me!"
Passengers boarding at Gate 39
At the airport for a business trip, I settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate 39. Then I heard the voice on the public address system saying, "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 404 will board from Gate 42".
So my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to Gate 41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told us that Flight 404 would in fact be boarding from Gate 42.
So, again, we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as we were settling down, the public address voice spoke again: "Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness program". "I hope you have a nice day".

Q: How to make Network visualization work in vis.js with Angular? I've installed the dependencies I need through:
vis.js: npm install vis --save
@types/vis: npm install @types/vis --save-dev
Code snippet:
import { Component, AfterViewInit, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Network, DataSet } from 'vis';

@Component({
  selector: 'test',
  template: '<div #network></div>'
})
export class TestComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  @ViewChild('network') el: ElementRef;
  private networkInstance: any;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
     const container = this.el.nativeElement;
     const nodes = new DataSet<any>([
        {id: 1, label: 'Node 1'},
        {id: 2, label: 'Node 2'},
        {id: 3, label: 'Node 3'},
        {id: 4, label: 'Node 4'},
        {id: 5, label: 'Node 5'}
    ]);

    const edges = new DataSet<any>([
        {from: 1, to: 3},
        {from: 1, to: 2},
        {from: 2, to: 4},
        {from: 2, to: 5}
    ]);
    const data = { nodes, edges };

    this.networkInstance = new Network(container, data);
  }
}

I tried like above just to try out but it gives me this error:

Cannot read property 'solve' of undefined

What am I missing?

A: I encountered the same problem when using the Vis.js Network module in my Angular project. After some searching I figured out the problem is caused by the way the Network object is constructed. If you replace this line:
this.networkInstance = new Network(container, data);

... with this line:
this.networkInstance = new Network(container, data, {});

Then the problem is solved.
Backgound
The Typescript type definitions for Vis.js have a mistake in the definition of the constructor, the definition claims that

"options" argument to the constructor is optional: constructor(container: HTMLElement, data: Data, options?: Options);.

But if you look into the Vis.js code you'll notice that passing an undefined options attribute causes important initialization code to be skipped, causing the error you encountered.
If instead, you pass an empty options object then the Network is initialized correctly.

A: Try to add a timeout, something like this:
ngAfterViewInit() {
     const nodes = new DataSet<any>([
        {id: 1, label: 'Node 1'},

        const container = this.el.nativeElement;
        this.networkInstance = new Network(container, data);
    }, 0);
}

I had a similar issue which I suppose was related to the fact that I was trying to display the chart inside a tab and I had to reference it like this to add it to the event queue, so it was executed after all the other calls from the current call stack. I hope this helps.

This is a song that Jeannie brought to me to record a piano and voice only version. I improvised/composed the solo. When she heard the solo for the first time, she started crying. That was one of the most powerful moments I've had in my life and one that I'll never forget. Thanks for sharing your music with me, Jeannie.


By the title you may assume I'm talking about childhood. All us moms know that it seems like children grow by leaps and bounds every single time we blink. We're told to enjoy every moment because it's short and they're so precious.
But I'm not talking about childhood, today I'm talking about our schoolwork.
With a dentist appointment scheduled for Evan this morning and some errands to run, I knew we needed a shortened day of school today. I asked the boys to do math and reading and told them they would be free to spend the rest of the day however they liked. Needless to say they were thrilled.
We have days when there is just so much going on that we don't have time to fit in a full day's worth of school. Sometimes we have appointments scheduled during school hours, we have homeschool activities planned, we have field trips, or we have family obligations.
As long as it doesn't happen ALL the time we can work around the time crunch.
Rely on Unschooling: focus on what my kids are learning outside of school.
All three boys chose to complete two more pages in their math books.
Alec went to read his Warrior book while Ian and I read the next chapter in The Hunger Games.
Ian did a little extra schoolwork and completed a page in his spelling book working with adding -s or -es to the end of words.
Evan wanted to try his sight word stackers and as he read them to me I kept track of those that he's already learned and told him I'm going to switch those out with new words. He told me he figured I would be doing that and assured me he's ready for new words. When I think that it's only been one month since we made these towers I'm stunned that he's learned over 20 words--in just one month!
He challenged himself to make a tall tower today!
He then sat with me and read Jump, Pup! He did awesome and told me that he likes to end the school day with reading because he thinks reading is easy. I'm so glad!
All the boys were thrilled to be completed school in an hour.
We had a bit of a science lesson this morning too before school even began. We made homemade donuts using biscuit dough. We followed this recipe and the boys all helped.
Adding in some extra math practice: I asked Evan how many donuts we'd be making as I was cutting up the dough. I explained that if I had 10 and cut them all in half I would have two groups of 10. After a bit of thinking he told me that 10+10 was 20. I then asked the older boys to figure out how many we could each eat they used their division facts to quickly figure out we could each have 5 if we wanted.
We covered life skills and cooking too. Alec was the only one not afraid of the hot oil so I showed him how to gently drop them in the oil and quickly move out of the way of any splashing/ spitting oil. He did good and was so happy to roll them in the powdered sugar, cocoa mix, or sugar/cinnamon mixture once they had cooled a bit.
We discovered a few of the last donuts didn't cook all the way through browning so much on the outside so fast that the heat did not cook them properly. We talked about why that was and some of the properties of hot oil. We set the pan aside to cool and ate our breakfast.
Unfortunately the real science lesson came a bit later when I thought the oil was all cooled off and went to rinse the pan out. The combination of the cold water and the (apparently) still hot/warm oil set off a series of volcanic like explosions of oil. Luckily, no one was nearby (other than me and I can move pretty fast when needed) so no one was hurt.
We had a bit of a messy and oily kitchen afterwards but I assured the boys I could have it cleaned in no time.
It led to a great discussion of why that happened, of why we NEVER put water on a grease/ oil fire, how to avoid that from happening again in the future, and so on.
Nothing like being a homeschool mom to use every possible scenario as a teaching moment! I bet this is one they won't soon forget!
They were very yummy though!
They came inside and asked to play air hockey. We played a few rounds and then we all sat down to play Jenga working on math/logic skills.
Learning life skills at the dentist. Evan did an amazing job. He needed new sealants put on his bottom molar since he had already worn the first set off (and our amazing dentist refused to charge me for them since he felt they should have lasted better than that). Unbeknownst to me, on top of needing sealants on his top two molars, Evan also needed a bit of drilling done. The dentist assured me that they don't even consider the marks he had on his teeth cavities since they weren't yet cavities but that they were starting to form. He had scheduled an hour to do the procedure in case he had to use Novocaine since they do drill and fill them in a similar manner to prevent future cavities from forming. Evan flew threw it all without batting an eyelash and we were in and out in under 30 minutes with three new sealants and two cavities prevented.
Adding some socialization into our day. We had a nice lunch visiting with my mother in law and we were all reluctant to see it end. As much as try to take advantage of seeing family often it still never quite seems like enough. We parted ways to run our separate errands.
The boys and I headed to Target, Lowe's and the grocery store. We listened to our book on CD for part of the car ride home (reading/language arts).
Today we talked about septic tanks; the job of the septic tanks and how to care for them.
The genetic disposition to have twins, how to tell identical twins and fraternal twins apart when they're the same gender, how a woman's body handles twins, what a full- term baby means, what types of care a preemie might need, and birthdays-- all things I never imagined ever talking about! The boys were interested though and kept asking even more questions.
We talked about how one twin is always older (but usually only by a few minutes).
How twins could technically have different birthdays or even different birth years depending on when the mom goes into labor and the space of time between births.
It's always tricky to answer their questions appropriately but today's talk was a great one. Alec and Ian in particular kept asking more questions and relating my answers to people we know or TV/movies they've seen. I'd say we covered more than our fair share of science today.
Our day went by in the blink of an eye and we had so much fun together.

What true love is Essay
Category: Love
If we base our idea of what true love is on fairy tales, we might think that finding prince charming or an enchanting princess and living happily ever after is the ultimate goal. But for most mortals, striving for such ideals is unrealistic, and may even leave us feeling unfulfilled or let down. The reality is that being and staying in love takes continual work and patience, even though this might not seem utterly romantic, in that storybook sense. Couples who have healthy relationships find ways of working together, and this in and of itself could be considered a sign of true love.
Its true that in many cultures, people who are in love create long-term partnerships and/or get married. We may hear of the high divorce rates, but lots of these couples do actually stay together. Yes, there are couples that have been married for 60 years and still feel passionately in love, and there are others who care deeply for one another even though the lust is gone (or maybe never existed!). Of course, sometimes we may not even want to hear about the happy, lovey-dovey couples because were feeling romantically unlucky or lovelorn ourselves.
Keep in mind that the reasons why some relationships dont last are as varied as the different kinds of people we are; in many cases, the partners simply grow apart because they have grown and changed as individuals, and seek different, more fulfilling opportunities for love. If a particular couple falls out of love, yet each partner goes on to seek a more satisfying love with another person, could this be an example of true love in action?
Love can also vary by degrees: some couples feel deeply intense and passionate, while others appreciate one another for intellectual reasons or admire one anothers ambition, dedication, or creativity. When is the last time you read a fairy tale where the main characters appreciated each others brilliant musicianship, eloquent writing, or compassion for humanity? (Well, maybe in Shakespeares writings¦.)
Love is not an easily definable concept but it may be helpful to try to spell it out. A psychologist, Richard Sternberg proposed that love is the result of three components " intimacy, passion and commitment. The love is strongest when all three of these components are strong. John Lee proposed an alternate theory by identifying six styles (or colors) of love. How do you define love?
Perhaps, just for fun though, it might help to look at this elusive true love in another light. Look around you and see all of the expressions of love in our world: people devoting huge chunks of their lives for the human rights of others, people setting aside time to volunteer in their community, parents and caregivers protecting and nurturing their children and families, young people learning from and sharing things with their grandparents. Or, how about giving and receiving unconditional love to and from the animals in our lives?
So, are humans capable of staying in love? Sure they are, as there are lots of models around us of people who love and care deeply about one another. Some people follow the philosophy of better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Instead of looking at all the heartaches around us, why not look to all of the examples of the different types of love in the world? Perhaps if we think of love as a broadly defined term, its possible to see true love all around us.

Grundfos Dubai facility secures LEED Platinum recognition
Grundfos Gulf Distribution (GGD), regional headquarters in Dubai has been awarded LEED Platinum Certification for Operations and Maintenance – an internationally recognised mark of excellence for Green Buildings.
The 4456sqm multi-purpose complex, built back in 2002, hosts a factory, service centre and an office which serves the region with sustainable water solutions.
In the UAE, Grundfos has joined the ranks of 11 buildings and that have secured LEED Platinum certifications for Operations & Maintenance.
Aside from being a regional base, it also serves as a training centre where hundreds of engineers, consultants and customers receive hands-on training and interact with the most advanced cloud-based water solutions in the region.
Speaking about the achievement, Kostas Poulopoulos, area managing director of GGD, says that earning the LEED Platinum certification is a moment of pride for everyone in the company. It took time, team effort and genuine zeal for sustainability to achieve it. "We're proud to be one of the very few facilities in the UAE to achieve this recognition, and this truly reflects our purpose of driving sustainability not only through our solutions but also in how we operate as a business. We looked into how we can be sustainable through our entire business operation and did not leave any stone unturned along the way."
Though the actual certification process took about a year, GGD has been tirelessly working on becoming climate positive way back.
Kostas added: "Several years ago, we switched to using LED lights and upgraded our chiller management system which resulted in at least 70% reduced associated electricity consumption. We also save 25,000 litres of water annually by disinfecting and recycling our water for our ISO certified pump testbeds."
As a result, water consumption has decreased by 54% while electricity consumption has decreased by 90% since 2017.
While the results are phenomenal, it only inspires Grundfos to do even more. In fact, during the end of March, Grundfos also activated solar panels on the facility which now provides at least 60% of their energy requirements.
The newly installed solar panels yields 310,000kWh of energy per year and allows Grundfos to avoid at least 210,000 kg of C02 emissions annually. This move further boosts their company's objective of becoming climate positive by 2030.

A Supreme Court Judge has freed and granted bail to eight adults and three children who had been detained at the Carmichael Road Detention Center.
They, along with four people released unconditionally last week, bring the total to 15 individuals who have been freed from The Detention Center this month.
These include Kediesha Bent- John and her daughter Chitara John, Gerna Jean-Tinord and her daughter Gemma Joseph, Verante Mocomber and her daughter Claudia Norcin, Emmanuel Simeon, Michelot Merilien, Anselet Curry, Mirlene Corvil, Earl Burton and Fanel Gassant.
Attorney Fred Smith, President of Rights Bahamas, who represented all 15, and Attorney Damian Gomez and their juniors, argued that all had been detained unlawfully and told the court that there is no law requiring people to prove they have status or to produce documents on demand.
The Supreme Court had ordered the Department of Immigration to justify its detention of the applicants. However, they failed to respond in all cases, including the case of Jean Rony Jean-Charles, the missing detainee who immigration officials claim they deported to Haiti. However the Haitian authorities say they have no record of him.
Mr. Justice Gregory Hilton gave Immigration one more opportunity to respond to the cases, which they must do by December 26th.
Along with the bail requirements, the persons are also required to check in at the department of Immigration every Wednesday until they return to court on their respective dates.
Earlier this month, two men who filed habeas corpus applications were released from custody by Immigration officials.
One of the men, Jamaican barber Ricardo Johnson was released from the Detention Centre the day after his habeas corpus application was filed in court.
The second, Regional Raymonvil, a 31-year-old born in the Bahamas to non-Bahamian parents, was in possession of his Haitian passport and application forms when he was arrested in Grand Bahama on November 29, his affidavit claimed.
He was released from custody the same day by the Supreme Court. He too is represented by Mr. Smith.

21 November 2002, Volume 4, Number 38
IS ORGANIZED CRIME THREATENING THE FOUNDATIONS OF BALKAN STATES?
A telephone roundtable hosted by RFE/RL's Rade Radovanovic.
In late October, the police arrested and detained hundreds of people. The Interior Ministry claimed that it had discovered a new organized terrorist group that carried out some assassinations and prepared others aimed at ensuring a safer environment for future criminal activities (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 30 and 31 October 2002).
Milos Vasic (a leading journalist of the Belgrade weekly "Vreme"): What worries me is that this time the matter involves some people in positions of authority.
This alleged terrorist group -- the truth about which will be known only when the investigation is finished -- is made up of some gentlemen who were previously known to the police but who have not been held for lack of evidence.
Up to now, such people have been killing each other off. The situation is curious, since [Serbian Interior Minister Dusan] Mihajlovic was too optimistic when he announced the arrest of the group. It turns out that only two of them are still in police custody on criminal charges, while the other hundred or so are free.
RFE/RL: Does it mean they were released?
Vasic: Well, I suppose so. They were brought in for questioning. One of them escaped and has already been put on Interpol's wanted list. He is the infamous Zeljko Maksimovic. The two gentlemen in police custody were caught with an entire arsenal of weapons and money, the origins of which they will have to explain.
RFE/RL: One of them was caught and immediately released.
Vasic: Yes, but right after that he was arrested again. The famous Belgrade hyperrealist painter -- Dragan Malesevic Tapi, who specialized in fake passports and visas -- unfortunately died of a heart attack during police questioning.
So, the score so far is one dead of a heart attack, two in police custody, and one at large. However, our political officials remain optimistic and boast that they have managed to find the thread, which, if they keep pulling, will eventually unravel the entire sweater. I sincerely hope so, but, on the other hand, I fear that they might be over-optimistic.
RFE/RL: It sounds as though in Serbia, together with the present government, or, let's say the existing state, there is another one that does not seem to be any less powerful.
Vasic: If we go back to the 1996-99 period and think about [President Slobodan] Milosevic's most rabid propagandists -- such as Ivan Markovic, Goran Matic, Aleksandar Vucic, Vojislav Seselj, Ratko Markovic, and Milovan Bojic -- we see how supposedly stunned they were when prominent underworld figures with links to officialdom were killed.
But then it turned out that all the assassinations had the same characteristics: excellent intelligence, great logistics, cars, apartments, money, weapons, telecommunications, cold-blooded professional executioners, and the fact that none of the cases has ever been solved. The exception was the murder of Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan, which was the work of amateurs.
RFE/RL: However, even those amateurs were professionals of a sort, since they were mostly police officers by profession.
Vasic: Yes, but technically speaking the assassination was carried out unprofessionally, and they were the only ones caught. If they had been professionals, they would have never been arrested, just like none of the others has ever been.
So, when you look at the series of some 40 murders, starting with August 1991 when Branislav Matic Beli was murdered, you can see a pattern. As a friend of mine from a certain security service would say, there is only one company in this state capable of doing this.
Finally, after the disclosure of the document showing that [the murdered journalist] Slavko Curuvija had been under police surveillance, it turned out that the state security service was involved [in the case] up to the moment of Curuvija's assassination.
So, let us not pretend to be imbeciles. This story is extremely serious. They pretend to be naive and keep repeating that a terrorist organization is attempting to kill Zoran Djindjic, Voja Seselj, Jovica Stanisic, me, my mommy, my cat, and all the rest of us. And they are the only ones we have to protect us from that.
RFE/RL: Back in 2000, Mr. Marko Nicovic, who is a police official of an international office for fighting drug-related crimes, told me that problems of this kind arise when organized crime has more of its own men within the police than the police has among the criminals.
Vasic: That is what is usually called the infiltration paradox.
Rezika Blazan (a teacher from Erlangen, Germany): I think that the biggest crime that could have happened in any region or society was the Balkan wars [of the 1990s].
RFE/RL: Do you find that there is as much crime in the region now as there was, let us say, 20 years ago when it all started?
Blazan: No, I think that there is far more today, and I find political crime the most serious. Then there is economic crime, which always accompanies political decline....
But for me, the biggest of all forms of organized crime is privatization in the states of our region. I am talking about the privatization of state properties that took place right after the war and during the war. More or less criminal activities were linked to much of it....
RFE/RL: Let me remind you that the privatized property you are talking about used to be called "public property" in former Yugoslavia. Something had to be done with it. What do you suggest? Nationalization?
Blazan: No, I do not think it should have been declared state property. [During previous nationalization,] the state applied coercion but the people wound up footing the bill.
RFE/RL: Yes, but some of our listeners and your fellow-citizens might tell you that...back in 1945, 1946, and 1948, the law on nationalization took that property from our fathers and grandfathers.
Blazan: I am not talking about the property that was previously taken from other people. I certainly think that what was previously expropriated should be returned.
That is, of course, if it is possible. But if a field was expropriated from me, I cannot demand to be given a town that was later built on that field; that would be absurd.
RFE/RL: Do you agree that some people have profited from the wars, and not necessarily legally?
Blazan: That is perfectly normal, it happens in every war...but this one was the worst that ever happened in our region.
We all knew what we were fighting against during World War II, but it was different this time. The great powers played a perfidious role by switching their support from one side to another, then pitting the two sides against each other, and finally getting into quarrel themselves.... Now, after only five years, they want to force us to fall into each other's arms....

You know that you're officially a grandma in life when you cannot hang at your own Memorial Day backyard party longer than the older peeps, hah. I'm typing this blog post as "Turn Down For What" is blasting from the outdoor speakers of our newly renovated backyard pool and patio, yet for some reason I rather edit photos for Instagram and write a blog post than chug down alcohol bottles. Meh, I guess I'm finally growing up, LOL. But since I have a bit of free time before the work week starts, I thought I'd share with you guys my eventful Memorial Day recap in a diary format because this was DEFINITELY a relaxing and productive weekend that I've been needing for a long while. Read below if you want to learn more about my eventful weekend featuring Marisa's bachelorette party at Glen Ivy Hot Springs and a fun backyard party featuring MilkAndEggs ingredients!
Honestly, all I can remember from this day was probably ending work around 5/6PM, hitting the gym at night to work on "leg day", then running 2-3 miles around the neighborhood at night. Let's just say my legs felt like jello the next day, just in time for Marisa's bachelorette party. Awesomeeeee.
Finally, the day we've all been waiting for - it was BACHELORETTE PARTY TIME! ;) For Marisa's bachelorette party, we headed to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for an entire day of rest and relaxation. If you guys haven't tuned into my Instastories, I am in absolute awe of this hot springs location. The first time that I visited Glen Ivy Hot Springs was for a fun collaboration, and I brought Sharon with me to get 50-minute Aromatherapy Essentials massages - you can read all about that experience here.
To start the day, I arrived at Marisa's house at 7:45AM sharp and her family and I carpooled to Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Man, were we tired, but the entire experience was so worth. Marisa's mother-in-law rented a cabana for Marisa's entire bridal party (this includes me!) to relax in for the entire day, which is pretty much a private and exclusive area to dine and chill in. From our cabana, you also receive a picturesque view of the entire hot springs. If you're curious about what the cabana life is like at Glen Ivy Hot Springs, I left all of the behind-the-scenes, which includes a tour of Glen Ivy Hot Springs, in the HIGHLIGHTS REEL of my Instagram account, @missmisschelle, under "BRIDESMAID". Also, when you rent a cabana, you get to skip ALL the lines that a typical customer has to wait in - this includes checking-in at the entrance and waiting for food in an assembly line fashion. Talk about a "fast pass" type of experience!
When it came to ordering food, can I just say that their mountain of nachos is ADDICTING AF?! I could literally wipe out an entire nachos bowl, I'm not even joking. Meal-wise, I ordered a Turkey Avocado Sandwich & a Berry Smoothie...honestly, I wouldn't recommend the sandwich, but the smoothie was bomb! I wanted to order a second smoothie after devouring my first, but decided against it since I thought I should try other things on their menu. Later throughout the day, I ended up ordering a Coffee Frap from their Starbucks and a Chocolate Brownie Froyo that the employees served to us at our cabana. Seriously love the cabana life!
Regarding my Glen Ivy Hot Springs experience, Marisa's bridal party first visited Club Mud, which is popularly known for exfoliating your skin. First, you apply wet mud to your body, then sit in a heated room to allow the mud to dry before washing the mud off in their outdoor showers. Although it's strongly advised to wear a dark-colored swimsuit in the accidental case that mud won't wash off your swimsuit later on, oblivious Michelle ended up wearing white - goddammit Michelle.
After Club Mud, we went to The Grotto - now THIS part, I loved. Essentially, an employee uses a "paintbrush" to apply a warm mixture of aloe vera, coconut oil, eucalyptus, and lavender masque to your entire body. Also, this mixture can instantly wash off your swimsuit so phew, I was saved there. Not only does it smell amazing, but the mixture feels SO relaxing when applied to your body. Similarly to Club Mud, we sat in a heated room to allow the mixture to dry on our skin before washing it off. The Grotto is meant to soften and hydrate your skin in a very therapeutic and interactive way. Lastly, we ended our Grotto experience by sipping on hot Tazo tea (we all loved the flavor orange!) while chatting the day away.
As soon as we left The Grotto, we all went separate ways temporarily to head to our appointments. I received the Aromatherapy Essentials massage from a massage therapist named Robin, and she was absolutely AMAZING. I would definitely book with her again the next time I visit Glen Ivy Hot Springs!
To make my Sunday morning productive, I went to the gym at 9:00AM and got "arms/chest" day over and done with for one hour, followed by cardio on the treadmill for another 30 minutes.
With my Dori-like goldfish memory, I can't seem to remember too much of what happened after the gym. Honestly, I think I just took it easy, but I made a HUGE effort to stay away from electronics since I do a bunch of social media work on the weekdays.
One thing that I DO want to start enforcing is putting away my phone anytime between the hours of 8-10PM and afterwards. Not only has a friend told me, but I noticed that I sleep like a baby much easier when I don't stare at the screen too close to bedtime. Also, I started reading a book called "Sleep Smarter" by Shawn Stevenson, recommended by a close friend and I absolutely enjoy it so far! Nowadays, I'm going to do my best to read every day for 30 minutes before I go to sleep - please feel free to keep me accountable ;) And truth be told, I woke up today feeling SUPER energized and refreshed, all thanks to putting away my phone earlier than usual. Lastly, if you have any book recommendations, please send them my way as well!
Since this morning, I whipped up a BUNCH of recipes using my favorite MilkAndEggs ingredients - this includes Shrimp Ceviche and Shrimp Skewers. If you're looking for the bombest homemade Shrimp Ceviche recipe, read my previous recipe blog post here.
Just a quick reminder for those who don't know what MilkAndEggs is, it is an amazing grocery delivery service located in OC/LA that I've been using for several months now. Honestly, I have NO complaints about their and always rave about their business to my family and friends. MilkAndEggs literally takes the work and time away from grocery shopping by delivering quality and fresh ingredients to your doorstep whenever you want it!
Essentially, my family and I had an intimate Memorial Day backyard party with homemade entrees prepared from MilkAndEggs ingredients to celebrate our newly renovated backyard. Honestly, our pool gives me "mini Disneyland" vibes, as the design looks very similar to the pool located near the hotel in Downtown Disney. In our backyard pool, we included a handmade rock slide (literally, the rocks were made of cement and sanded down to look like real rocks!) and added salt water to our pool to give it that beautiful and natural blue water effect that you can only find in Hawaii. And of course, what's a pool party without awesome FLOATIES? ;) Also, I'm absolutely loving our backyard setup because now I have a sweet location to shoot more product & food shots from the comfort of my home, heh.

Climate-change impacts
Potential climate-related impacts on future crop yield are a major societal concern. Previous projections of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project's Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 identified substantial climate impacts on all major crops, but associated uncertainties were substantial. Here we report new twenty-first-century projections using ensembles of latest-generation crop and climate models. Results suggest markedly more pessimistic yield responses for maize, soybean and rice compared to the original ensemble. Mean end-of-century maize productivity is shifted from +5% to −6% (SSP126) and from +1% to −24% (SSP585)—explained by warmer climate projections and improved crop model sensitivities. In contrast, wheat shows stronger gains (+9% shifted to +18%, SSP585), linked to higher CO2 concentrations and expanded high-latitude gains. The 'emergence' of climate impacts consistently occurs earlier in the new projections—before 2040 for several main producing regions. While future yield estimates remain uncertain, these results suggest that major breadbasket regions will face distinct anthropogenic climatic risks sooner than previously anticipated.
Trade scenarios compensating for halted wheat and maize exports from Russia and Ukraine increase carbon emissions without easing food insecurity
