Investors put boards on notice over stronger social governance
Recent cases such as Rio Tinto and AMP show that managing stakeholder interests has never been more challenging for boards, especially in terms of social governance and meeting the demands of investors, says Brunswick Group Partner Pru Bennett GAICD. Bennett, who points to Brambles, AGL and Lendlease as companies benefitting from integrated reporting, says that all boards need to lift their game and secure more data and targets around ESG. Bennett will speak at the Australian Governance Summit on the topic of Nowhere to Hide: Shareholders, stakeholders and the role of the board.
Shelley Dempsey
Communications Executive
In a year where staff wellbeing has taken centre stage and investor power has ramped up to put Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) issues in the spotlight for boards, Pru Bennett, former Managing Director at Blackrock Asia Pacific and Chair of the National Foundation for Australia-China relations, is hearing loud and clear from investors that ESG remains a key focus.
"I've been talking with investors over this period of time and it is clear that the S (Social) of ESG has really come to the forefront. The treatment of human capital as a risk management issue as well as an opportunity, and the way boards and senior leadership teams have approached this, has also become a critical area. My conversations with investors show that the way management and boards have managed these issues during COVID-19 has been a litmus test of board and management quality."
As we transition to a low carbon economy, boards also need to identify the risks and opportunities that a transition may afford companies, she told AICD in an interview. "We need to see more data and targets around ESG, so investors have some idea of progress, and how that relates back to ESG strategy."
Following is an edited transcript of the question-answer interview.
Are there any companies managing ESG particularly well, in your opinion?
Generally Australian companies do manage ESG well and the standard of reporting has continued to increase. The next step is to look at ways of integrating ESG into the business, and at integrated reporting. There are a number of companies that have adopted integrated reporting, Brambles and AGL being two. And it's not just the reporting that's important, it's the integrated thinking that integrated reporting generates. I have spoken to a director of Lendlease, which is another company that has adopted integrated reporting. That director talked about the change in the conversation around the board table as a result of integrated thinking. This type of thinking is better for investors and other stakeholders over the long term as boards are more focused on the six capitals, where the value of the company lies and on value creation.
How important is ESG this year for corporate reporting, given the year that we've had?
In Australia, I believe reporting has generally been quite good. I work in the Asia Pacific region, so when I look at Asian companies, Australia is well ahead. However, our country is probably not as advanced as many European countries, even though Australia has had a big focus on occupational health and safety for a long time. So health and safety is managed and communicated well, but boards are going to have to lift their game in other areas, particularly when it comes to human capital and climate change.
When we look at the valuation of listed companies, and particularly service companies that are listed on the ASX, a big component of the market cap is human capital. Employees arrive or log in in the morning, then they log out or go home in the afternoon. If they're not logging in or coming into work the next day, that business doesn't exist. So how human capital is managed and reported, and disclosing the appropriate data to investors to demonstrate good practice, is vital information for investors. It's not just about providing a description. Investors are trying to assess the quality of management.
You said recently there's never been a more challenging time to manage the interests of stakeholders. Why?
We have recently seen a couple of cases where there has been a very big focus on profit and returns that have been at the expense of stakeholders. In one instance, the board decided to impose a financial penalty on management, and that really didn't go down well with stakeholders. In another situation, we saw the loss of three senior leaders.
It is so important for boards to really understand who their stakeholders are, and how their strategy impacts society. There tends to be a focus on privatising profits and socialising costs. In some cases, operational costs are being socialised at the expense of society when they really should be internalized.
COVID-19 has been a real challenge for boards. While most boards would have had business continuity plans in place, I don't think any of those plans would have anticipated a significant portion of the workforce working from home for six months plus. That raised issues around employees, furloughed employees and how they are treated, and the mental health of employees.
Are you seeing any gap between the walk and the talk on the ESG issue?
There are gaps where the process is qualitative and there is a lack of data and targets. Once the data and targets come in, that demonstrates the walk, and without that, there is a gap between the walk and the talk.
So how can investors and boards put real muscle into the ESG approach?
Boards need to know what their investors are saying. It's not that the whole board should be meeting with investors, but it is important for the chairman, or for the lead independent director to engage with investors and take those views back to the board. The management team also has to understand what's top of mind for investors.
It is also important to understand the views of the different types of investors. In addition to index investors and active investors, asset owners are also a very important component of this equation. Asset owners' funds are being managed by asset managers, yet asset owners are taking a much more active role in voting and they are much more focused on longer term issues such as ESG issues. It is important for boards to be aware of what those issues are. What's top of mind for asset owners at the moment? What's top of mind for active managers? How are their expectations changing?
So what do companies really need to consider when they're providing market guidance after the year that we have had?
I think, honesty, and that is quite difficult to communicate when you don't know what lies ahead. If you don't know something, you need to come out and be honest about that. I think investors will have more trust in a company that is honest in their reporting. And they will pick that up in the quality of reporting as well.
Is assurance an increasing concern? How can we have confidence that what's being claimed for ESG and reporting is actually being followed up and carried out?
Well when it comes to reporting, it's about materiality. If the risk is material, as a director, you would want to see assurance of the process and data. Such an approach will provide a level of comfort that ESG risk is being managed well. There are other issues with ESG disclosures that aren't material but may be important to stakeholders and therefore should be reported. Such information would require a lesser level of assurance.
You're the chair of the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations. So what is the board attempting to achieve?
The foundation is in a very unique position. First of all, it has a very diverse board, which I think is good. It's a board of 14 - so it is large. Members come from academia, the arts, local communities and business. My role as chair is to gather the experience and expertise of the people on the board, to ensure we are providing sound advice to the CEO of the Foundation and to the Foreign Minister. The foundation funds activities from a very broad range of activities, so we need to make sure we are funding the right projects that have good outcomes for both China and Australia. We are looking for projects that have mutually beneficial outcomes for both China and Australia, but also for our very large Australian Chinese diaspora.
Our focus is on driving positive outcomes, so this is a good time, when the foundation can actually make a difference and help business. We need to keep that relationship between Australia and China going, given the importance of China to the Australian economy and our local communities. I think it probably has a more important role now than it has had in the past. Because I have a governance background, my role is to bring in a whole new governance process around approvals. We are not there to replicate what other agencies are doing but to fill the gaps, provide initiatives and partner with appropriate agencies.
Hear more from Pru Bennett at the 2021 Australian Governance Summit.
Pru will be joined by Nicola Roxon GAICD, Chair of HESTA and director of Dexus, for the session: Nowhere to hide: Shareholders, stakeholders and the role of the board.

It doesn't matter who you are, whether you're Rick Clunn or Michael Iaconelli, not everyone knows about every single fish in the world.
1 History Of Large Catfish
2 Can A Catfish Sting Me?
3 How To Treat Catfish Stings At Home
Our oceans are believed to have only been around 20% discovered, with new species of marine life being discovered every day.
So it comes as no surprise that when catching fish, a lot of people don't know about certain aspects of different fish and how they can harm us.
Catfish fall under this bracket, many believe that they can sting humans. We've researched the species of fish and their features to answer your question.
History Of Large Catfish
Catfish are a diverse group of ray-finned fish, named to do with their prominent barbels that are featured throughout their body.
The catfish also gets its name from their whiskers at the front of their face, resembling the facial feature similar to cats' whiskers.
Catfish can grow to all sorts of shapes and sizes throughout their lives and vary in behavior depending on where they originate from.
The three largest catfish species in the world are all found in different areas of the world. The Mekong giant catfish is the first of these types of catfish and is native to the freshwater bodies around Asia and China.
This species is considered endangered due to the dwindling environments in which the fish resides.
The giant catfish is regarded as a very quick grower throughout its life, growing to a length of around 3 meters when fully grown, reaching a weight of around 330 to 440 pounds.
The second species of catfish in this list is the Paraiba, also known as Kuma Kuma to the native people of South America.
This large species of catfish belong to the Pimelodidae family and genus Brachyplatystoma, originating from Amazon River basins, extending to Orinoco River basins and fluvials in Guianas and northeastern Brazil.
When fully grown, an adult Paraiba can grow to a length of approximately 2.8 meters. Easily recognized with dark spots on their light grey skin, their dorsal fin features pink shading and is easy to spot if caught by fishermen.
This big fish has a piscivorous diet, mainly feeding on loricariids and other species of bottom-dwelling marine life.
The third large species of catfish on our list is the wels catfish scattered about the water bodies of Eurasia.
This fish is famously native to the Baltic, Black, and Caspian Seas and can now be found as far east in the UK, as well as in more western areas of Kazakhstan and China, on top of southern areas like Greece and Turkey.
The freshwater fish, also known as the sheatfish, is widely recognizable because of its broad head and wide mouth.
This specific species of catfish can live for around 50 years, growing to anywhere between 1.3 and 1.6 meters in length, weighing up to 44 pounds.
Can A Catfish Sting Me?
Amongst catfish fishermen throughout the world, it's commonly known that catfish skin can sometimes cause some irritation towards humans, no matter where on your body.
The catfish's skin contains a toxin that is usually innocuous but has been known to cause irritation if an individual has an allergic reaction.
However, the catfish species has a prominent dorsal fin that can cause damage to humans, by releasing a venom that can cause a pretty nasty sting.
This venom is also produced from the fish's pectoral spines, which can also cause a stinging sensation to those who come into contact with it.
Of course, the most common area on the human body that is going to get sung by the catfish is the hands. However, due to the size of the fish, it's frequent that people may be stung on their arms when holding the fish.
There are also recorded cases of humans being stung on the bottom of their feet after accidentally standing on a catfish when walking through a body of water.
A lot of catfish are bottom-dwellers and can often be stood on if walking barefoot.
The sting itself of the fish can be extremely painful and can cause severe inflammation around the site of contact.
If stung by a catfish then it's important to seek medical attention by calling a doctor or taking a trip to the nearest infirmary or medical practice.
Catfish stings aren't usually life-threatening, however, they can cause a lot of discomfort to the person affected.
The symptoms that come with catfish stings can often be calmed with over-the-counter drugs, reducing the redness and inflammation.
How To Treat Catfish Stings At Home
It can be expensive when taking trips to the doctors or the emergency room, so there are a few ways to treat your catfish sting before heading to a professional.
These can be good for lesser injuries but we recommend that if the injury requires, going to the hospital is better to be safe than sorry.
Immersing the affected area of your body in hot water is a useful way to stop the proteins in the venom from activating, majorly reducing the pain from the sting.
It's important to note that hot water is only healthy if using a temperature that you're comfortable with. You can't treat a sting with burnt skin!
You should also remove the stings very carefully, with either tweezers or some sort of tool that reduces the amount of contact with the affected area.
As with any other injury, you should look to clean the wound as soon as you can to prevent possible infection. Using warm water with soap is a great way to stop the spread of germs and harmful bacteria.
Using a soft cloth, gently scrub the area whilst frequently rinsing to keep you clean.
Do not use dermal glue or stitch together the wound, it needs time to breathe and heal with oxygen.
If the wound becomes infected, you must contact your doctor and get antibiotics or other painkillers to help treat the injury. These should be used for around 5 days after using the treatment.
Catfish stings are very common amongst fishermen and it's crucial that you don't panic. These injuries are rarely fatal and often just irritate your skin.
Avoiding the venomous dorsal fin and pectoral spines is the best course of action when trying to avoid a catfish sting.
There are lots of ways to treat the injury before taking a trip to the hospital, so get yourself back on the track to recovery and back on those lakes!
George Alexander
Hi, I'm George Alexander, and I can safely say that my fishing trips nowadays are serene and relaxing. But they weren't when I was first starting out.
I didn't know anything about the sport or camping, and I set off on my adventure with very little planning. As a result, I was cold and miserable for the entire trip, and I didn't catch a single fish.
Once I learned the right way to do things, my experience became much better. So, that is what I am here to do for you. I want to teach as many people as possible about fishing and camping, so their first experience can be as amazing as they're building it up in their heads.
So, come and learn about camping and fishing from me, and I guarantee that you will have an amazing time out in the Great Outdoors.

Pinson Valley bounces back, beats Ramsay
Updated Aug 30, 2019; Posted Aug 30, 2019
Pinson Valley vs. Ramsay HS Football
By Evan Dudley
The battle of the second-ranked teams in Class 6A and Class 5A was anything but pretty with both teams combining for 19 penalties for 171 yards.
Pinson Valley (1-1) got a shutout in the first half but allowed a single score in the third quarter on its way to a 27-7 victory over Ramsay at Lawson Field in Birmingham.
After four unsuccessful drives, Pinson delivered the first blow with a 35-yard rushing score from starting quarterback Barry White. It wasn't until midway through the second quarter that the Indians added to their lead with a 10-yard run by Jay Sharp for 13-0 lead going into the break.
Ramsay managed only 7 yards in the first half after allowing four sacks and a fumble recovery to the Pinson Valley defense. Defensive lineman Julian Peterson had half a sack and the recovery in the first half and added another fumble recovery on the first play of the second half that resulted in a 9-yard touchdown pass from White to Ga'Quincy McKinstry.
Holding onto a 20-0 lead, the Indians intercepted Jaih Andrews on the following possession but turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing drive. The Rams took advantage and marched 66 yards in nine plays – all rushes – and capped the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run from Jeffrey Rowser.
Pinson Valley added the final score of the game early in the final quarter on Sharp's second score of the night, a 2-yard dive into the endzone. Ramsay was unable to make anymore headway and finished the game with no pass completions and only 101 rushing yards.
Star of the game: Sharp. The senior running back had 43 yards and two touchdowns on 18 attempts and carried the Indians when White succumbed to cramping and Caleb Nix entered the game at quarterback.
Stat sheet: Pinson Valley was led by Sharp in the running game, but White was effective during his time on the field and finished 9-of-22 for 82 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also rushing for 34 yards and a score. McKinstry had four catches for 35 yards and a score while Keyonteze Johnson had four receptions for 46 yards and a 10-yard rushing attempt.
For Ramsey, Rowser led the way with 82 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries while Andres complete only one pass for four yards while gaining 12 yards on 17 rushing attempts. William Hardy was the only other Ram to gain positive yardage with 8 yards on three carries.
By the numbers: 4, number of sacks by the Pinson Valley defense. …3, number of Ramsay turnovers in the game. …1, number of first downs by Pinson Valley in the first half.
Coach speak: "Ramsay played really good, they're a good football team. We didn't play very good, got a long way to go, but hats off to Ramsay too, they had a lot to do with it. We missed several plays, had some called back with sloppy play on our part. Lot to work on for sure." – Nix
Up Next: Pinson Valley returns home to host Shades Valley while the Rams travel to Parker.

Tajaé (auch: Tajayé) ist eine Landgemeinde im Departement Illéla in Niger.

Geographie
Tajaé liegt in der Sahelzone. Die Regenzeit dauert drei bis vier Monate und erreicht im August und Anfang September ihren Höhepunkt. Die Niederschlagsmenge kann von Jahr zu Jahr stark schwanken. Von November bis Februar ist es trocken und kalt, von März bis Mai trocken und heiß. Dann kann sich die Temperatur 45 °C nähern. In Tajaé befinden sich mehrere Trockentäler (koris) und temporäre Teiche (mares), die eine wichtige Grundlage für die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung bilden.

Die Vegetation ist charakterisiert durch Baumsteppen mit Arabischen Gummi-Akazien, Piliostigma reticulatum, Seyal-Akazien und Wüstendatteln, Buschsteppen mit Guiera senegalensis, Kinkéliba und Sandmalven sowie Krautsteppen mit Andropogon gayanus, Aristida mutabilis und Cenchrus biflorus. Sie ist durch Menschen, Tiere und klimatische Unwägbarkeiten im Schwinden begriffen. Davon betroffen ist auch die Tierwelt von Tajaé, für die Nagetiere, Reptilien und Zugvögel typisch sind.

Die Nachbargemeinden sind Illéla im Nordwesten, Badaguichiri im Nordosten, Malbaza im Südosten und Alléla im Südwesten. Bei den Siedlungen im Gemeindegebiet handelt es sich um 35 Dörfer und 48 Weiler. Der Hauptort der Landgemeinde ist das Dorf Tajaé. Es liegt auf einer Höhe von .

Geschichte
Die Besiedlung des Gemeindegebiets erfolgte durch Hausa und Tuareg, die aus Agadez zuzogen. Die Hausa-Ackerbauern gründeten mehrere Dörfer. Die Tuareg lebten zunächst transhumant, bevor auch sie sich in eigenen Siedlungen niederließen. Das Dorf Tajaé gehörte im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts zum Herrschaftsgebiet der Tuareg-Untergruppe Kel Gress.

Die Landgemeinde Tajaé ging 2002 im Zuge einer landesweiten Verwaltungsreform aus einem Teil des Kantons Illéla/Tajaé hervor. Bei der Flutkatastrophe in West- und Zentralafrika 2010 wurden 6468 Einwohner von Tajaé als Katastrophenopfer eingestuft.

Bevölkerung
Bei der Volkszählung 2012 hatte die Landgemeinde 78.080 Einwohner, die in 11.930 Haushalten lebten. Bei der Volkszählung 2001 betrug die Einwohnerzahl 38.432 in 6005 Haushalten.

Im Hauptort lebten bei der Volkszählung 2012 7296 Einwohner in 1041 Haushalten, bei der Volkszählung 2001 4433 in 693 Haushalten und bei der Volkszählung 1988 3586 in 647 Haushalten.

In der Gemeinde leben die Volksgruppen Hausa, Tuareg und Fulbe.

Politik
Der Gemeinderat (conseil municipal) hat 20 gewählte Mitglieder. Mit den Kommunalwahlen 2020 sind die Sitze im Gemeinderat wie folgt verteilt: 16 PNDS-Tarayya, 2 MPR-Jamhuriya, 1 MNSD-Nassara und 1 MPN-Kiishin Kassa.

Jeweils ein traditioneller Ortsvorsteher (chef traditionnel) steht an der Spitze von 22 Dörfern in der Gemeinde, darunter dem Hauptort.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Moschee von Tajaé Sédentaire wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Falké Barmou errichtet, dem Erbauer der Großen Moschee von Yama.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Die Gemeinde liegt am Übergang der Zone des Regenfeldbaus des Nordens zur Zone der Bewässerungsfeldwirtschaft des Südens. Die Ernährungsgrundlage wird durch eigenen Ackerbau und Viehzucht geschaffen. Hirse ist das wichtigste Nahrungsmittel, gefolgt von Sorghum und Augenbohnen. Die Produkte aus der Viehzucht werden überwiegend exportiert. Die Landwirtschaft leidet unter Desertifikation, unregelmäßigen Niederschlägen, Bodenarmut und unzureichender technischer Ausrüstung. Hinzukommen Konflikte zwischen Ackerbauern und Viehzüchtern um die Landnutzung.

Von wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung ist auch der Handel. Es gibt in Tajaé fünf Wochenmärkte. Neben der Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Nahrungsmitteln und Produkten des täglichen Bedarfs dienen die Wochenmärkte dem Export von Waren wie Vieh, Leder, Tierhäute und Zwiebeln in das Nachbarland Nigeria. Handwerkliche Berufe werden in Tajaé vor allem von Frauen ausgeübt. Das staatliche Versorgungszentrum für landwirtschaftliche Betriebsmittel und Materialien (CAIMA) unterhält eine Verkaufsstelle im Hauptort.

Gesundheitszentren des Typs Centre de Santé Intégré (CSI) sind im Hauptort sowie in den Siedlungen Dabnou, Faska Alléla, Karayé und Zouraré Chafa vorhanden. Der CEG Tajaé und der CEG Dabnou sind allgemein bildende Schulen der Sekundarstufe des Typs Collège d'Enseignement Général (CEG).

Durch die Landgemeinde verläuft die asphaltierte Nationalstraße 29, die Tajaé mit den Städten Birni-N'Konni und Tahoua verbindet. Die übrigen Pisten durch das Buschland sind in schlechtem Zustand.

Produces exceptionally long life span.
Unmatched 100,000 hour rated bulb life!
Excellent Lumen Maintenance, 80% over 10 yrs.
Mercury in Ultra-Tech™ Induction Lighting is in solid amalgam like dental filling for teeth. There is no dispersed mercury like fluorescent bulbs.
100% flicker free with no hum or harmonics.
Here's how you can reduce high intensity lighting costs by as much as 85%! The all-new ingenious Ultra-Tech™ lamps combine modern drivers (ballasts) and phosphorous coatings with Nikola Tesla's magnetic induction coils to convert high frequency energy into full spectrum light.
The system acts like a transformer with the inductor as the primary coil, while mercury atoms form a single turn secondary coil. Electrical energy is coupled through the glass wall to excite the mercury atoms.
A variation of this technology uses a light bulb shaped glass lamp with a test tube shaped centre cavity. The glass is phosphor coated on the inside and filled with inert gas. The induction coil is wound around a shaft inserted into the central cavity that is excited by high frequency energy provided by an external electronic driver (ballast).
This produces an exceptionally long life span since there are no internal electrodes. Extremely high energy conversion from the high frequency electronic ballasts yields 98% efficiency. This translates into monumental cost savings up to 85% in both energy and maintenance costs when compared other technologies including LEDs.
Like conventional fluorescent lamps, varying the phosphor coating provides different color temperatures and specific frequency output. Ballasts rectify incoming AC voltage while solid state circuitry converts this DC current to a very high frequency between 2.65 and 13.6 MHz (depending on lamp). This high frequency feeds the coil wrapped around the inductor's ferrite core, creating a strong magnet field in the inductor. This couples the energy through the glass and into the mercury atoms inside the tube.
Ballasts control circuitry regulates the frequency and current to the induction coil to insure stable lamp operation. Ultra-Tech™ lamps do not require a worm-up or cool-dawn. Microprocessor controlled ballast circuits operate near 98% efficiency, resulting in only a 2% energy loss compared with 10¬% to 30% wasted in traditional "core and coil" designs.
Ultra-Tech™ lamps are rated at 100,000 hours with over 85% energy savings, and better quality light. The ultra-strong lamp tube is made of hard silicon glass with a melting point of 1600 degrees Celsius. The IC Ballast more intelligent, smaller, lighter and longer lasting than conventional electronic ballasts. The design is more stable and engineered to last 5-7 times longer than conventional electronic ballasts.
The magnetic loop technology has superior stability and is better shielded from electromagnetic interference. The ballasts are certified for the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, India, and Western Europe. (UL, UL-C, CCC, CE, CB). Lamps and ballasts are designed to operate in temperatures between -40 C to +60 C.
Separate lamp and ballast style, round shaped (TX) are available in: 40W, 60W, 80W, 120W, 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W, and 400W. The same wattages are available in rectangular bulbs.
Compact style combined lamp and ballast (110 to 220 volt only) available in low wattages of 15W, 23W and 40W.
Total ownership costs include capital, energy, and maintenance costs. Ultra-Tech™'s induction lamp technology is engineered to last 100,000 hours or 11 years while metal halide lamp technology lasts only 20,000 hours or 1.56 years. Metal halide lamp systems would be changed 5 times in same 11 years using Ultra-Tech™ technology. Typical return on investment ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on the project and energy costs. LED has not been field tested long enough to substantiate claims of 50,000 or 100,000 hour lifecycles.

Celebs Go Dating carried on its tradition of awkward dates on Wednesday night (October 17), when TOWIE's Vas J Morgan continued his quest for love.
Vas was set up on a date with a radio DJ named Josh from Manchester, with the two enjoying what was meant to be a romantic pedalo ride in the park.
The only problem was, Vas couldn't get a word in, as Josh spent the entire date talking.
Josh went from talking about himself, to asking Vas about his tattoos, to calling him 'desperate' and even listing all the reasons why he should visit Manchester.
Viewers at home felt for Vas, who had opened up about how much he genuinely wanted to find love, but ended up on an awkward date with the world's most talkative man.
Unsurprisingly, Vas wasn't up for giving Josh a second date, or taking that trip to Manchester either.
Vas's TOWIE castmate Chloe Sims also didn't have much luck, despite her having a heart-to-heart with the dating experts.
Chloe was told she was an 'ice queen' who needed to learn to open up more, even if she had been hurt in the past.
But Chloe was set up with sweet guy Alan, who just wasn't enough to defrost her, and she later admitted he was "too nice" and she'd probably "eat him alive".
Celebs Go Dating continues on Thursday night (October 18) when two new celebs, Ibiza Weekender's Callum Izzard and Gogglebox's Amy Tapper, will begin their quest for love.
Will Celebs Go Dating return for sixth series?


On Nov 9, the State Council General Office issued a guideline to promote the development of e-business in rural areas.
The guideline made clear the development goal: By 2020, an open, orderly, reliable and environment-friendly rural e-business market system should be established; e-business will be integrated with primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and it will be utilized to promote the entrepreneurship and employment of rural residents, expand the consumption market and help poverty alleviation in rural areas.
According to the guideline, e-business should be applied to wider fields in rural areas such as agricultural production, process and circulation. Internet technology should be widely used and big data should be introduced to gradually change the agriculture industry.
Policies and measures focused on talent cultivation, transport system, infrastructure construction and financial support will be introduced by the government.

Hugh Grant's ex Elizabeth Hurley opens up about his new wife
By Christine Estera| 1 year ago
'He seems very, very happy'
They dated for 13 years, splitting in 2000, but Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant have remained the best of mates.
In fact, they're so close that the model-turned-actress considers Anna Eberstein -- the 35-year-old Swedish television producer Grant married last month -- as one of her good friends.
"He seems very, very happy," Hurley, 53, told the UK edition of Harper's Bazaar. "He has three children with his wife Anna, who is adorable, and he's a very happy man."
(Getty)
Despite that scandal, which marred her relationship with 57-year-old Grant -- yep, the one in 1995 where he was busted in a car allegedly having sex with prostitute Divine Brown -- The Royals star would only ever look back fondly on their relationship.
A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) on Sep 9, 2017 at 10:14am PDT
"[I've known Hugh] way too long, 31 years! Hugh is my oldest friend... and I get on with Anna incredibly well," she told Grazia UK last month.
Getting along with her exes is usually unheard of, but Hurley thinks it's no big deal. She only has good things to say about her ex-husband, 53-year-old business tycoon Arun Nayar, who she split from in 2010 after four years of marriage. And she also still rates former fiancé of four years, Australian cricket legend Shane Warne, 48, who she split from in 2013.
A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) on May 9, 2018 at 6:03am PDT
"Arun is my best friend too and I adore Shane -- it's pretty hard to break up from a best friend," she told Grazia. "They're still people you want to share both good and bad things with. You can't annihilate the past, you have to make friends with it, otherwise you've got these terribly dark areas. We are our past so it would be pretty sad to tear up photographs and delete everything."
Another thing that's no big deal in Hurley's eyes was that Versace safety-pin dress she wore while going as Grant's date to the 1994 premiere Four Weddings and a Funeral.
"A few years ago, I got a lot of calls wondering what I thought of the dress' 20th birthday. I have to say, I hadn't known it was the dress' 20th birthday -- that was news to me," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I'm delighted a dress I wore might be something someone would think about, but it wasn't really that big a deal to me at the time."

The Peculiar Ransomware Piggybacking Off of China's Big Hack
2021-03-21 2021-03-21 / WIRED
When Microsoft revealed earlier this month that Chinese spies had gone on a historic hacking spree, observers reasonably feared that other criminals would soon ride that group's coattails. In fact, it didn't take long: A new strain of ransomware called DearCry attacked Exchange servers using the same vulnerabilities as early as March 9. While DearCry was first on the scene, on closer inspection it has turned out to be a bit of an odd cybercrime duck.
It's not that DearCry is uniquely sophisticated. In fact, compared to the slick operations that permeate the world of ransomware today, it's practically crude. It's bare-bones, for one, eschewing a command-and-control server and automated countdown timers in favor of direct human interaction. It lacks basic obfuscation techniques that would make it harder for network defenders to spot and preemptively block. It also encrypts certain file types that make it harder for a victim to operate their computer at all, even to pay the ransom.

So, You Want to Publish Your Own Book?
I believe that each of us has a story to tell and a book to write. Two decades ago I wasn't sure that anyone would be interested in anything I wrote, but today, as a New York Times bestselling author with five books to my name, my attitude has changed. I have lots to say, and my words are making a positive, life-expanding impact on readers.
Before I was a writer, my entire adult career had been spent as an actor and model for TV, films, TV and print as well as an acting coach specializing in young people. I earned big dollars, enjoyed glamorous off-screen activities and loved my life.
Then tragedy struck.
My beloved 16-year-old brother was killed in a tractor accident on the farm where we grew up. My adored grandfather died when a tree fell, crushing him as he mowed his lawn. Not long after, my father died in my arms, the victim of a rare cancer. His final gift to me were his words that he was dying a happy man because he had enjoyed a long happy marriage, adored his five children and had had the privilege of being a farmer and feeding people. He whispered, "I have lived my dreams!"
A light bulb flickered on in my head. Thinking about it, I realized that a successful life is not measured by the dollars we have in the bank but about the meaning and love we share. My new mission became to help other people achieve their goals to live their dreams. As a catharsis to ease the pain, I wrote, spoke, coached, volunteered and searched for ways to be of service to those in need. My work as a coach led to my first foray into self-publishing.
How I Turned a Booklet Into a Career
With my background in acting and modeling, I was determined to help actors and models not get scammed by the plethora of people who steal from unsuspecting entertainment wannabes. To help with that, I wrote a small booklet titled The Business of Show Business. It contained all the information that I wished someone had given me when I first began.
When I was the new kid on the block back in the 1970s, no one was coaching or advising young actors. Fellow actors didn't proffer accurate advice, possibly because they, too, were stumbling. I made plenty of mistakes that cost me money, time and even my safety. I spent money on bad headshots, went on auditions that went nowhere and knocked on too many of the wrong doors. Once I figured out a constructive way to be successful, I wanted to share my hard-knock knowledge.
After spending three months designing a seminar series that would provide honest details and personal experiences to newcomers, I let colleagues and agents know that I was offering classes on the business side of the entertainment industry. I printed the first run of the booklet on a copier to sell as an adjunct to my seminars and drama classes. They sold out immediately, and I soon received hundreds of requests for more copies. Even people who had been in the business for years wanted the book. The demand indicated to me that my booklet filled a very real need.
As my acting career soared, so did my classes and my pamphlet. Over the next few years, it expanded from a 20-page handout into a 303-page book, and I became a bona-fide publisher with Starstyle Productions. Talent agents and thespians bought the tome because there wasn't anything on the market like it. Offering comprehensive career guidance in simple language with up-to-the-minute information on exactly how to get going and stay going while avoiding the scams, The Business of Show Business is now in its 13th edition and is considered the bible of showbiz. Since 1984, the book has been selling consistently for $19.95 per copy, and I have never had one return
The Secret to Writing Success
As my book sold, I began receiving requests from nonactors to help them become more confident. Using principles from my acting classes while sharing personal stories of overcoming adversity, I started writing short lessons that could help adults in transition be happy and successful. These chapters expanded into what I term my "heart" book, Be the Star You Are! 99 Gifts for Living, Loving, Laughing, and Learning to Make a Difference. It was published by a traditional press, and the rest as they say, is history.
In my case, my success hinged on specifics. I wrote what I knew with passion. I knew who my audience was and who would buy the book. I targeted a niche market. I kept reediting, revising and republishing as needed, and I donated a portion of the proceeds from every sale to the literacy and positive media charity, Be the Star You Are.
My experience writing all my books is that readers purchase books from authors who give back and who authentically want to make a difference. My ongoing platform is to market through speaking, teaching, TV, radio, writing, coaching and charitable work. It doesn't matter if you are self-published or traditionally published: It's always up to the author to continue to promote her books until the day she doesn't want to sell any more.
Making Your Ideas Pay
An ever-growing number of people are using self-publishing to launch their careers. According to Publisher's Weekly, of the million plus titles produced in 2009, an astounding 764,448 books were self-published or created through micro-niche publishers. With an ever-expanding array of online tools available, it's getting easier and easier to turn your ideas into books -- and money.
How much will does it cost to self-publish? That depends on the length of your book, the amount of publicity you'll do and the platform you possess. As a self-publisher, you'll incur all the up-front costs of editing, proofing, legalities, obtaining copyright, ISBN, layout, printing, cover and interior design, marketing, distribution, fulfillment and promotion. On the other hand, you'll also keep 100% of the profits, and you'll get your book on shelves within six months of completion.
Can you make money as a self-published author? Do the math. If you print 1,000 copies of 160 pages or less, your costs could total less than $3,000. Charging retail at $15.95 per book, your profit is $12.95 per book. Selling direct to vendors while giving them a 40% discount, you'll earn $6.38 per unit. Using a distributor at a 55% discount, and you're still in the black with $3.38. Compare that amount with the normal $1 to $1.50 royalty an author earns with traditional publishing. Remember to factor in shipping costs, taxes and administrative expenses, slightly lowering your profit margin.
The secret to not having a garage filled with books that no one wants to purchase is to know your market before you begin to write, start selling before you've published and never, ever stop promoting once your book is published. While my book hasn't made me millions of dollars, it has enabled me to earn a living and learn a life.
Most important, I've learned that true wealth comes from doing what you love while making a difference.

Short history and overview of the street arts and circus
Swedish contemporary circus is considered to have part of its origin in the street theatre group Jordcirkus in the 1970 and 80s. They were inspired by many of the same ideas and conditions as their contemporaries Circus Oz and Archaos, and could be defined as political circus-theatre. In France the generational energy of that time developed into nouveau cirque, while in Sweden it diminished or was channeled into physical theatre – only to reoccur later. While today contemporary circus is growing wildly and in many different directions in Sweden, street theatre is very rare. The weather may play a role, but that's not the whole story. In recent history street theatre has been strongly associated with the left-oriented political theatre movements of the 1970s – to the times of parents and grandparents – and as such has often been considered old-fashioned. This is changing, however; today we see young circus companies creating outdoor performances with the desire of reaching audiences that don't find their way to theatres. Circus and street art remain connected, though as yet there is no independent outdoor performance sector in Sweden.
As early as the 1980s you could take acrobatics classes in Stockholm. In 1987 Gycklargruppen was formed, a company working with a mix of comedy and circus disciplines and inspired by the audience interaction they had encountered in street performance abroad. The first circus education was started by an artist from Gycklargruppen in 1988.
Another key influence was Stockholm Water Festival inviting international new circus shows to Stockholm in the early 90s. Archaos was a big success, and together with other pioneer companies like Circus Oz and Cirque Plume, they introduced the circus form to the Stockholm audience and to Swedish culture.
In 1995 Cirkus Cirkör created their first show with the support of Stockholm Water Festival – and the rest is history. Cirkus Cirkör has developed at pace through the last twenty years, going from a group of wild and independent young artists to a company that produces shows that tour the world, that founds educational programmes, that pushes for changes in cultural policy to improve the recognition of the circus form, that trains hundreds of thousands of children in circus techniques all over Sweden, and that has won recognition as a regional institution with a mission to develop the art form. Cirkör's importance to the development of the art form in Sweden is immense. Since the end of the 90s the company has been located in Botkyrka – a city that has invested greatly in Cirkus Cirkör and in the development of the contemporary circus field. Subtopia is a cultural cluster owned by Botkyrka, with the mission of building infrastructure for the creation, touring and presentation of circus.
While we are still waiting for the new wave of outdoor performance to hit us, we nonetheless enjoy a variety of artistic approaches within contemporary circus in Sweden. Since the 90s different new circus practitioners have continuously emerged, each with their own vision and idea of what circus is and should be. Circus is performed in many different venues and spaces all over the country; it draws on all the performing arts and there is a growing audience acquainted with the form. In Sweden there is a national federation, open training for professionals, higher and research education, residency systems, networks, and within the circus sector we find an impressive number of international collaborations compared to other art fields.

Powerful Documentary 'To a More Perfect Union: U.S. v. Windsor' Closes Out Pride Month Perfectly
By BJ Colangelo
As we head toward the tail end of Pride month, it may be difficult to think of the world that existed long before the commercialization of rainbow products. With the return of Queer Eye, and RuPaul's Drag Race finishing its 10th season, the non-LGBTQ world may forget that we still live in a state where it's legal to fire someone just for being gay. Enter the powerful documentary, To A More Perfect Union: U.S. v. Windsor. It screens at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26, at the Capitol Theatre and concludes the Capitol's Pride Month film series.
Edie Windsor was an American LGBTQ rights activist and a technology manager at IBM. After the death of her (legally recognized only in Canada) wife, Thea Spyer, Windsor found herself inundated with problems. As the executor and sole beneficiary of Spyer's estate via a revocable trust, Windsor was required to pay $363,053 in federal estate taxes on the inheritance of her wife's estate.
Had federal law recognized the validity of their marriage, Windsor would have paid no federal estate taxes. Windsor desperately wanted the legal validity of her more than 40-year relationship with the love of her life, and was willing to go to through the legal system to get it.
Recognizing the travesty, lawyer Roberta Kaplan offered to represent Windsor pro bono and was the lead plaintiff in the 2013 Supreme Court of the United States case United States v. Windsor, which successfully overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act and was considered a landmark legal victory for the same-sex marriage movement in the United States.
To a More Perfect Union offers an intimate look at Windsor as a gay rights pioneer, and its correlation with the Stonewall Riots, the AIDS crisis, the Defense of Marriage Act and other staples of LGBTQ history.
The documentary is incredibly touching, predominantly due to the subject matter, but it takes a paint-by-numbers approach to the story telling. Archival footage, talking heads, and a few celebrity cameos all take their traditional place — which isn't surprising given director Donna Zaccaro's previous documentary Paving the Way is a heartfelt look at the life of her politically trailblazing mother, Geraldine Ferraro.
U.S. v. Windsor was profoundly important in the fight for marriage equality, serving as the penultimate case before the full establishment of gay marriage rights two years later in Obergefell v. Hodges. To A More Perfect Union is a wonderful film, albeit more educational than entertaining.

AnubisSpy Malware: Stealing photos, videos & spying on Android users
Android devices seem to be the most preferred target for hackers as there have so far been multiple incidents involving malware, ransomware and cryptocurrency miner apps designed to infect Android devices.
Now, security experts have identified a new Android malware that has been dubbed as AnubisSpy.
This particular malware targets Arabic speaking users and its primary attack domain seems to be the Middle East. Researchers have linked this malware with the Sphinx cyberespionage campaign, which was discovered in 2014-15 and launched by the APT-C-15 group, mainly because it also targeted users across the Middle East.
The malware was discovered by Trend Micro's Mobile Threat Response Team and their findings were disclosed on December 19th.
According to their research, AnubisSpy is equipped with wide-range data-stealing capabilities and it can also spy upon the user's activities.
Trend Micro's team assessed seven apps on Google Play and third-party marketplaces and found them to be containing AnubisSpy.
These apps were written in Arabic language and were found to be related to Egypt such as some apps showcased Middle Eastern news and Egyptian television show.
The apps had fake Google certificates and were installed only in a handful of countries.
"The apps mainly used Middle East-based news and sociopolitical themes as social engineering hooks and abused social media to further proliferate.
Versions of AnubisSpy posed as social news, promotional, healthcare, and entertainment apps," explained Trend Micro's researchers in their blog.

AnubisSpy can steal SMS messages, contacts, photos, videos, email accounts, Samsung and Chrome internet browser histories and can also capture screenshots and configuration files of Twitter, Facebook, Skype and WhatsApp due to which it is capable of spying on these apps. It can also self-destruct to hide its tracks and delete the data on infected devices.
The file structures, JSON file decryption method, C&C server, and targets have a stark resemblance to the Sphinx campaign.
It is possible that the authors of AnubisSpy malware are also the operators of Sphinx campaign or they might be other actors.
As far as the malicious apps are concerned, researchers stated that these were being launched since April 2015 and their latest variant was released in May 2017.
Google was contacted by Trend Micro regarding the presence of malicious apps on 12 Oct 2017 and was requested to update Google Play Protect.
"While cyber espionage campaigns on mobile devices may be few and far between compared to ones for desktops or PCs, AnubisSpy proves that they do indeed occur, and may have been more active than initially thought," noted Trend Micro researchers.

You are wrong, I am an example for young people. Because I was in jail and every time I left I would get up. "

1993 Publishes Ijime no Nekko: The Source of Abuse, the first English translation of her works. To date (November 2002), Reiko has published 13 books she wrote in Japanese, 6 of which have been translated into English (including 1 compilation). Her message has been distributed in English to heads of state, Ministers of Education, rectors of universities, and other individuals and organizations, and received warmly in many countries around the world. Reiko's aspirations have in turn inspired some readers to translate works into their own languages, such as Arabic (in the case of her 2nd English publication, Journey into the 21st Century) and Azerbaijani (her 5th, Before the Storm), making her insights and advice available to more than the English-speaking world.
2000 Nijuu-isseiki e no Tabidachi (Engish title: Journey into the 21st Century) becomes a recommended supplementary reader for 2nd year junior high school students for moral education in Japan.PHOTO : This is Origami, a traditional Japanese craft made with paper.

Her wish since childhood and lifework is to guide people to realize that
"World peace begins in the home."
2010 Path to World Peace – from hardship to realizationIn her childhood, Reiko Uchida began pondering about the equality of the humanity."Why do people face the discrimination?""Why does the world witness the ceaseless conflicts and terrors, while it cries out for peace?""What is the purpose of our human life?"She has devoted her life to the quest for the truth of human minds. In the course of discussions and lectures, over 3,000 in total nationwide, she has reached the conclusion: The world peace begins at home.Her lectures were welcomed by institutions such as the conventions of the Japanese Parents & Teachers' Association, gatherings of local educational commissions, parents' organizations and police seminars.Extracting from these life-long experiences and lessons learned, her latest book, "Path to World Peace – from hardship to realization -" is published..
2014 I just turned 78 in July this year. Since my childhood, I have always wanted to do something for human happiness. With such spirit, I gave more than 4,500 lectures at boards of education, schools, kindergartens and nursery schools across Japan. I am grateful to all the people who supported my work.
I always think of something "anyone can do at anytime, anywhere," and that led me to realize that answers can be found in our daily life. When we look at the world, there are countries still fighting against each other.
All of us were born with something unique and precious. And we are destined to use it for the sake of others. I usually use my lecture fees to publish English version of my books, because I want people around the world to know this fact.
I have been giving lectures for more than 30 years, and still keep going.
I hope my wishes find a response in your heart.
