China's President Xi and Prologis' CEO Attend Sixth Annual Global CEO Council
On June 21, Prologis CEO Hamid R. Moghadam participated in the sixth roundtable summit of the Global CEO Council, hosted by President Xi Jinping at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. Hamid also received a plaque in recognition of his status as the only CEO invited to participate in the council for every year since its inception.
Themed "opening up, cooperation and mutual benefit," summit attendees discussed the Belt and Road initiative, innovation and wisdom, green development and global governance.
Hamid spoke highly of China's economic reforms since opening its economy 40 years ago and praised the success of the five-year-old Belt and Road initiative. Hamid was recognized for Prologis' contributions to China's development, and he reciprocated, recognizing the benefits of China's long-term development for Prologis. Prologis has 40 million square feet of logistics infrastructure comprising 33 distribution centers and land for development in 18 markets across China.
Xi conveyed China's plans to ease market access, create a more attractive investment environment and strengthen intellectual property protection.
The meeting attracted publicity from national and international media outlets. See below for coverage from China Central Television.

3,000 injuries a year on UK roads caused by poor vision
Many motorists with bad eyesight are still behind the wheel, despite expert advice.
By Rohan Banerjee

Nearly 3,000 injuries in the United Kingdom are caused every year by drivers with bad eyesight, according to a new report from the Association of Optometrists (AOP).
Almost half (44 per cent) of UK-based eye doctors, the report found, have seen a patient in the last month who continues to drive despite being told that their vision is not up to the legal standard. And the AOP is critical of the UK's eyesight requirements for drivers in the first place, labelling them "among the laxest in Europe".
Currently, drivers in the UK are required to undergo an initial eyesight exam when they apply for their license, then complete a self-declaration for renewing it later down the line. It is possible, then, for a 17-year-old who can read a number plate correctly from 20 metres away – the standard eyesight test set by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency – to not undergo any more checks for the rest of their life.
The AOP has launched the "Don't Swerve a Sight Test" campaign off the back of its report, suggesting that drivers should undergo an eyesight test every two years.

As part of this campaign, the AOP surveyed 2,000 members of the public, including 1,3000 regular motorists. Nearly a fifth of respondents indicated that they have never self-checked their own vision after passing their initial test, while concerningly, over a quarter (27 per cent) said that they would do nothing if they knew that a friend or family member was driving with poor vision.
Optometrist and APO spokesperson Henry Leonard said: "It is shocking that so many drivers are overlooking the importance of good vision. Sight change can be gradual, and people may not notice changes that could affect their ability to drive."
He added: "This campaign is about reminding drivers that regular visits to their optometrist are the best way to make sure they meet the legal standard for driving and help make our roads safer."

Taxiway, Terminals and By-Pass Road in Grenada Airport Expansion
1 second ago
This story was posted 3 years ago
in PRESS RELEASE, Technology, Travel/Tourism
Grenadians can look forward to a major expansion of the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA), thanks to a concessional loan of $66 million from the People's Republic of China.
In his 2018 budget presentation, Prime Minister, Dr the Rt Hon Keith Mitchell, said this project will include the construction of a parallel taxiway, loading bridges, a bypass road, passenger terminals, a second apron for cargo, and an emergency centre.
The announcement represents a promising boost for the tourism sector and the country's ability to attract additional international flights.
"The contractor has already been chosen, and work will begin early next month, providing hundreds of jobs in this process," the Prime Minister announced. "Our distinguished ambassador from China confirmed this only last week."
The MBIA's General Manager, Wendy Williams, has welcomed the planned expansion, saying there will be no immediate or excessive increases in fees for travellers, and where there are increases, they will be incremental.
Williams said the expansion is carefully planned to ensure their ability to adequately manage debt servicing while expanding capacity, based on projections for future use of the airport facility for the next 5 to 10 years. "I am very excited. I can now testify that we are going to expand," Williams disclosed.

25 New Queer YA Books To Read This Spring and Summer
By Patrice Caldwell
Queer young adult fiction is exploding right now, but with so much out there, how can you figure out what to read next? These 25 queer YA novels — including superheroes, romance, small-town mysteries, mermaids, assassins and more — all feature or were written by LGBTQ women, and are perfect for spring and summer reading.
The Cursed Queen by Sarah Fine
The Cursed Queen is Sarah Fine's companion to last year's The Imposter Queen (so you can read this without having read the first). It again features a bisexual main character, but this time there's a f/f romance with a chieftain's daughter at the center. (Released January 3.)
Dreadnought by April Daniels
When Danny Tozer inherits the powers of the world's greatest superego, Dreadnought, who just died in front of her, she also inherits a slew of problems. Not only does she have to find Dreadnought's killer — and keep them from striking again — but now that she has the body she always thought she should, she also has to deal with others around her who are suddenly treating her different, including a best friend who thinks he now has the right to date her and her transphobic father. This book tackles transmisignogy in such an amazing way. Danny is the transgender superhero the world needs. (Released January 24.)
Our Own Private Universe by Robin Talley
Our Own Private Universe is a queer contemporary romance that follows a bisexual girl who's only ever dated guys, and is developing her first feelings for a girl. Talley's previous book, As I Descended — a f/f retelling of Macbeth set at a haunted boarding school — was fantastic; Our Own Private Universe promises to be the same. (Released January 31.)
The You I've Never Known by Ellen Hopkins
Hopkins's young adult books in verse, always tackling tough topics, got me through high school. The You I've Never Known follows two girls, Ariel (who just discovered her dad might have kidnapped her as a baby) and Maya (who's pregnant and on the run from an abusive mother) as they uncover their pasts and figure out their futures all while exploring their sexualities and falling in love. (Released January 24.)
Island of Exiles by Erica Cameron
In the first in a new YA fantasy series, Khya is a warrior living in an isolated desert in which dying young is the norm. She has always put her clan before all else, but now, in order to save her brother, she must betray her clan and trust in her greatest rival, Tessen. The author herself is asexual, and there are asexual characters throughout. Not to mention the main character is bisexual and in this fantasy world the default sexual orientation is bi or pansexual. (Released February 14)
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
Nina LaCour is so skilled at tapping into the teen voice. In her most recent novel, We Are Okay, Marin is thousands of miles away from home, and her old life, at college in New York. There, in an empty dorm during winter break, Marin must finally confront everything and everyone she left behind. Deftly alternating between the past and the present, We Are Okay explores loss and longing in a way that is so palpable. It wasn't just that I identified with Marin's emotions, but I felt as if I was in the room with her, miles away from everything I knew, alone. It's hopeful, it's sad, and it is by far Nina LaCour's best novel yet. (Released February 14.)
A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho
In this queer YA small-town mystery/thriller, Fin returns to the coastal Maine town she grew up in the summer before college to investigate the disappearance of her best friend, Betty. Betty's ex-boyfriend Calder has just admitted to drowning her, but his confession is thrown out and the entire town believes that he was coerced (because he's the town "good ol' boy") and that Betty has simply run away. So what does any best friend do? Set the record straight. But as Fin starts to uncover secrets others want to stay hidden, she puts her loved ones — and herself — at risk. (Released February 28.)
10 Things I Can See From Here by Carrie Mac
In 10 Things I Can See From Here, Maeve has been struggling with severe anxiety for a long time. To make matters worse, her mom — the only one who really gets what she's going through — leaves for six months, and Maeve is sent to live with her dad in Vancouver. But then she meets Salix, a girl who doesn't seem to worry about anything and gives her the confidence to navigate her dad's wavering sobriety, her very pregnant stepmom insisting on a home birth, and everything else in between. This is the book I needed when I was younger. Yes always to more mental health YA books. (Released February 28.)
Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
Queen of Geek follows three best friends — Charlie, Taylor, and Jamie — attending SupaCon for the first time. Charlie is a very popular vlogger, which means that everyone knows about her very public breakup with her co-star. But when internet-famous cool-girl actress Alyssa Huntington arrives as a surprise guest, Charlie discovers her long-time crush on her isn't as one-sided as she thought. Meanwhile, Taylor, who's autistic, likes to blend in and she desperately (and secretly) wants something more with her best guy friend Jamie. Drama of course ensues in this fun read about fandom, friendship and the courage to be yourself. (Released March 14.)
Meg & Linus by Hanna Nowinski
Queer YA too often focuses on romance instead of friendship. Last year's platonic standouts included You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour and David Levithan, and this year is Meg & Linus, a book about two nerdy queer best friends. After Meg's longtime girlfriend breaks up with her but then wants her back and Linus meets a cute guy who he isn't sure is gay, the two begin to meddle in each other's lives to craft happy endings. After all, what are best friends for? (Expected release April 8.)
The Edge of the Abyss (The Abyss Surrounds Us #2) by Emily Skrutskie
As a Reckoner trainer-in-training, Cassandra Leung has been bossing around sea monsters since she could walk. But when the pirate queen Santa Elena swoops in on her first solo mission and snatches her away to train the pirate queen's own monster, Cas's dream of being a full-time trainer seem dead in the water. Pirate queens, a kick-ass protagonist and a f/f romance made book one, The Abyss Surrounds Us, amazing, and the sequel is set to be the same. (Expected release April 18.)
How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake
Ashley Herring Blake's debut, Suffer Love, was a beautiful love story full of heartbreaking, family drama. Her latest, How To Make A Wish, is a story about 17-year-old Grace Glasser, who's just trying to make it out of her hometown and away from her unreliable mother while falling in love with Eva, a girl with her own share of ghosts to outrun. (Expected release May 2.)
Noteworthy by Riley Redgate
Being an Alto 2 is, in Riley Redgate's words, like being a vulture in the wild. In this musical comedy, starring Jordan Sun, Alto 2, Jordan launches the perfect plan to finally get to musical fame — she auditions, in her most convincing drag, for the Sharpshooters, her school's elite all-male a cappella octet. And, guess what? She gets in… as Jordan Sun, Tenor 1. Of course, her plan is anything but foolproof. Noteworthy is an aca-perfectly hilarious exploration of body image, race, disability, class, and gender and sexuality. (Expected release May 2.)
The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember
This is the queer YA romance with mermaids the world deserves. The Seafarer's Kiss is about teen mermaid Ersel, who rescues and befriends a shield-maiden named Ragna. Together, Ersel and Ragna must face the trickery of the god Loki, exile from the merpeople and the risk of being torn apart — and if you're still not hooked, check out the author's gorgeous inspiration board). (Expected release May 4.)
It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura
So many stories still focus on the coming out experience, but coming out can sometimes be the easiest part, as Sana Kiyohara, the bisexual protagonist of It's Not Like it's a Secret, discovers as she deals with liking the beautiful Jamie Ramirez, a girl she meets after her family moves to California, and dealing with her father, who may or may not be having an affair. (Expected release May 8.)
Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy
Ramona Blue, a new novel from Julie Murphy, is about Ramona, a self-identified lesbian growing up in Eulogy, Mississippi, a town that never recovered from Hurricane Katrina. When Ramona falls in love with a boy for the first time, she questions all the feelings that come along. 2017 seems to be the year for bisexual characters in queer YA. It's almost like we're real or something. (Expected release May 9.)
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee
After a shout-out from one of the Internet's superstar vloggers, Natasha "Tash" Zelenka's web series, a modern adaption of Anna Karenina, goes viral. Suddenly Tash is pushed into the limelight, struggling to balance her life with her 40,000 new subscribers. Then, her show is nominated for a big award and her online flirtation with a fellow nominee suddenly has the potential to become something IRL — if she can figure out how to reveal that she's romantic asexual. (Expected release June 6.)
Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody
When 16-year-old illusion-worker Sorina discovers one of her life-like illusions has been murdered, it's up to her to track down the culprit and determine how they killed a person who doesn't exist. Along the way she meets gossip-worker Luca and together they begin to investigate the most sinister corners of the Festival. Sorina is bisexual, and the love interest is asexual.. This magical carnival setting is totally my type of weird and fantastical! (Expected release July 25.)
The Gallery of Unfinished Girls by Lauren Karcz
Artist Mercedes Morena is secretly in love with her best Victoria and facing a creative block as a result of her comatose abuela. When a mysterious new neighbor invites Mercedes to paint with her at the Red Mangrove Estate, Mercedes learns she can create art like never before — she just can't take it, or her newfound clarity, out of the Estate. Ultimately, she must choose between a perfect world of art and truth and a much messier reality. The Gallery of Unfinished Girls explores the relationship between artists and their art:. How art can awaken and save, but also how striving for perfectionism and beauty can control your life. (Expected release July 25.)
Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert
Brandy Colbert's debut, Pointe, was one of the first books in which I saw suburban teens of color living their life while also struggling with it. In Little & Lion, when Suzette, who's Black and Jewish, comes home to Los Angeles from her boarding school in New England, she isn't sure she'll ever want to return to school. LA is where her friends and family (and crush, Emil) are. And her stepbrother, Lionel, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, needs her emotional support.
In LA, Suzette falls for someone new: the same girl her brother is in love with. When Lionel's disorder spirals out of control, Suzette is forced to confront her past mistakes and find a way to help her brother before he hurts himself — or worse. Colbert is skilled at addressing mental health issues in POC communities, plus who doesn't adore a love triangle? (Expected release August 8.)
Dress Codes for Small Towns by Courtney Stevens
Billie McCaffrey is the confident and self-assured protagonist my Bible-belt-raised younger self needed. She and her best friends (they call themselves "the Hexagon") are always up to something and standing out from the crowd. But when tragedy strikes, the townspeople begin to question whether or not it's okay for Billie and her friends to act and dress and love the way they do. This book explores gender & sexuality as narrated by Billie, the town preacher's daughter. I especially loved that the focus isn't on her questioning her religion or even herself, but on her striving to live her true life in the midst of scrutiny. (Expected release August 29.)
Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller
Debut novel Mask of Shadows follows Sal, a gender-fluid pickpocket who auditions to become a replacement member of the Left Hand – the queen's quartet of assassins – but must survive the competition while also putting their true reason for auditioning into motion. Court intrigue novels are my favorite, and this is one of the first gender-fluid protagonists in YA! (Expected release September 5.)
Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore
Anna-Marie McLemore, one of my favorite up-and-coming authors, has such passion for and skill at writing novels about people of color, specifically queer teens of color. Her latest, Wild Beauty, features Estrella, a bisexual Latina protagonist from the Nomeolvides family of women who tend the grounds of La Pradera, the lush estate gardens that enchant guests from around the world. But the Nomeolvides women are cursed: if they fall in love too deeply, their lovers vanish. Until one day, a strange boy named Fel — a mystery to Estrella and her family, as well as to himself — appears in the gardens. As Estrella tries to help Fel piece together his unknown past, La Pradera leads them to secrets as dangerous as they are magical. (Expected release September 26.)
27 Hours by Tristina Wright
27 Hours is written in multiple POVs and features a diverse cast of queer, POC and disabled teens — Rumor, Nyx, Jude and Braeden — who live on a colonized moon in the midst of a war between humans and gargoyles. And now they have just 27 hours to save their cultures from extinction. (Expected release October 3.)
Bonus: You're Welcome, Universe by Whitney Gardner
Though You're Welcome, Universe does not feature a queer protagonist, the character (who's a deaf & Indian graffiti artist) has two moms! In young adult literature, where the parents are often absent if not gone entirely, it's nice to see two lesbian moms at the center of it all, balancing nurturing their daughter with (reluctantly) allowing her to grow into her own person. (Released March 7.)

UPSIDE OF UNREQUITED
This book is so so good! The protagonist is straight but her twin sister is queer and her moms are queer and it just gets everything right. It's by Becky Albertini. I'm copying the Goodreads description here.
"Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can't stomach the idea of rejection. So she's careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.
Then a cute new girl enters Cassie's orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly's cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly's totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie's new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. If Molly can win him over, she'll get her first kiss and she'll get her twin back.
There's only one problem: Molly's coworker, Reid. He's a chubby Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him.
Just added it to my To-Read list on Goodreads! Thanks!
I'm currently reading this one! I think the author's name is Becky Albertalli, not Albertini.
Oh yes, you're right! Thank you! Glad I'm not the only fangirl. :)
Alexandra Fallgren
Yes this! It's fantastic, and her first book "Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda" is also adorable even though it's about gay boys.

I love how much variety and choice there is here :)
Thank you autostraddle for always helping me add to my reading list!
ramona isn't bisexual. she does not id as bisexual at the end of the book. she is a lesbian with an exception and the book is lesbophobic.
have you read it? i checked on goodreads and it has a lot of 1-star reviews from people who haven't read it who are up in arms about the blurb (which the author didn't write and wishes would be changed to reflect that it is a bi book). i agree there is a damaging trope of lesbians who find The Right Man, but this book is written by a queer author so i'm hoping it will be more nuanced than the straighty-180 trope used by the other side. i grew up with a lot of biphobia, and i adopted the dyke label like it was my name. it threw me for a loop when i started crushing on a friend i thought was a guy, particularly because the only "representation" for this type of questioning comes from straight culture and i really didn't want to end up with ben affleck. i think it could be great having a book that tackles this subject matter from a queer perspective, because honestly a lot of people do go through these questions after they have declared their sexual identity and they still belong in our community and they still deserve honest, queer-authored representation. hopefully the author acknowledges the heartbreak and struggle of letting go of a label so many people didn't believe you had in the first place. it's hard enough without being considered a bad example by your community.
nope, but all you have to do is read this review from someone who actually liked it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1170476842?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1
[Here are things explicitly stated by Ramona …:
2) I don't know about IDing as a lesbian anymore, but I don't know about not IDing as one anymore, since other than you I only like girls and I imagine if I dated someone after you, it would be a girl
3) I am not comfortable IDing as bi, either, because I think you're probably the only exception
she's a lesbian with an exception. written by an author who legitimately loves chasing amy (seriously. i saw it on her instagram). we don't need that kind of representation because we get it every.where. else.
i actually read that review before i wrote my first comment and it gave me the impression that the book wasn't quite so reductive as lesbian-meets-exception, but i do see where you're coming from when you isolate those points. it's a very toxic idea, that a lesbian would have this one exception. i'd like to see how it is couched in the book, if there is more nuance. like, i can imagine hoping that a boy i liked was the one exception so i wouldn't have to abandon the identity i'd come to know myself by. i have no idea how this is handled in the book though.
that reviewer also includes that ramona says this on the list before your two points above:
1) How to identify is more complicated for me now, and nothing feels quite right.
which is the part that i really liked, and that makes it seem like more than LESBIAN LIKES MAN.
i respect that a lot of lesbians wouldn't want to read this book because it does feature a very toxic trope and they might not want to put themselves through that. like, the kids are alright actually made chunks rise in my throat, and i am really really over straight people inflicting that cliche on my brain. with this book, since the author is queer, and after reading reviews by self-IDing lesbians who have actually read it (like @lezbrarian), i am curious to give it a go before issuing a final judgement.
but also: the author loving chasing amy has bumped this down my to-read list SUBSTANTIALLY
I've read Ramona Blue, and I review teen books as part of my job and I'll be honest that I had a lot of feelings about it. It was really hard for me (I ID as lesbian) to read a book where a girl who ID's as lesbian in the beginning has feelings for a boy. But I did a lot of thinking and soul searching, and if it is possible for a girl who ids as straight to realize she's not straight then it is also possible for a girl who ids as lesbian to realize that might not be the 100% accurate label also.
The patriarchy loves to use our identities against each other. "They" Love to use lesbians to invalidate bi/queer/pan folx and they love to use bi/queer/pan folx to invalidate lesbians and we have to stop letting them do that. Yes there are a lot of garbage lesbiphobic tropes out there. But this book is not that.
Murphy – I felt – was careful to never show this story line as Freddie "fixing" Ramona. In fact Ramona talks about this very thing. That she's not broken, no one is fixing her. She has a lot of mixed feelings about her feelings for Freddie and in the end she states she doesn't know what her label is but she'll figure it out.
I think it's also important to mention that the primary relationship in the book is actually between Ramona and her sister Hattie. This book does a lot of other things and it does them really well.
Here's my goodreads review for more details: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1844866135?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1
This list is awesome! I've read Dreadnought and Queens of Geek and loved them both (but especially Dreadnought), and I've read the prequel to The Edge of the Abyss and found it really enjoyable. I also just got 10 Things I Can See From Here from the library! I just added a bunch more books to my Goodreads "to-read" list thanks to this article. Thank you!
I have read:
Our Own Private Universe
Ramona Blue
Little and Lion
and I can heartily second this recommendation.
I'm also reading "The Upside of Unrequited" and I'm loving it!
The only bad thing about having so many amazing new books constantly coming out is it wreaks havoc on my attempts to be a conneseur of all LGBT YA lit. I need more hours in my days to read it all.
rhymeriver
Maybe Ramona Blue is a good book – I'd be interested to see for myself – but the marketing and reviews are making me nauseous.
"Our heroine discovers she is capable of so much more than she thought" ??? This is the most homophobic version of "bisexuality is good because gay is too limiting" discourse I've seen yet.
I agree that the promo summary is horrible, and Murphy has been vocal about how much she hates it too – it was written by the publishers and not by her. What they are intending to refer to I'm guessing with the "she's more capable than she knew," is the other events of the book that have nothing to do with her sexuality.
I've actually read the whole thing, and it does a lot of things very well. It's never going to be my beloved favorite book, but I think it will be important for many people who id on the bi/pan/queer spectrum.
Seriously though I ache to see a coming-of-age narrative like my own have some representation; one where being gay/liking girls was obvious, unavoidable, and fully known by the time adolescence is entered. But why does isn't have to come in the form of a book that is so badly packaged and marketed in a way to please liberal homophobes?
*does it
* packaged in a way that pleases
(Autocorrect is difficult, sorry!)
Such a fantastic list! I can't wait to read Meg & Linus and The Seafarer's Kiss, loved We Are Okay and Noteworthy, and can't wait to form my own opinion of Ramona Blue outside of the Internet dragging based on a poorly worded blurb.
Another great one to keep an eye out for is Alice Oseman's Radio Silence, which features a cast of queer British teens and also has on the page demisexuality rep.

God, I'm so short on time, but I need to read, like, all of these. I've read Our Own Private Universe – it's Talley's best yet, and I've read 2/3 of her other books (What We Left Behind and As I Descended). But so many books with bi girls – I'm gonna be busy this summer.
Well I just added every single one of these to my TBR if they weren't already there. Thanks for putting this awesome list together Patrice!
I just bought Dreadnought and read it cover to cover in one night. Goodreads suggested that if I like it, I might also like Of Fire and Stars and Not Your Sidekick, and they were right. I bought those as the same time and sped through them.
Not Your Sidekick is also a superhero story with a bisexual heroine who accidentally goes to work for the villains her superhero parents routinely thwart. And while she's there she falls in love with the girl from school who is also her co-worker. Very cute story, but it's set up to have a sequel and be part of a series.
Of Fire and Stars is a fantasy fiction novel where the heroine is a princess and is part of an arranged marriage with the neighboring kingdom. When she goes to prepare for her wedding, she meets her new groom's sister, whom she falls in love with. Also very cute and will probably have a sequel.
Wondering if there will be a list published on this site of Queer YA by and featuring men? Or if there already is one?
This is a website for queer women, so not likely.
We Are Okay is so, so good. It's quiet and contemplative and beautifully sad. Also, I want that cover as a poster.


On behalf of Deadwyler-Heuman Law Firm, LLC on Monday, June 25, 2018.
Many people think of DUI charges as the consequences for overindulging in alcohol or for taking illegal drugs. However, you can end up facing charges even if partying was the last thing on your mind.
Because some prescription drugs can affect your ability to drive safely, driving under their influence can violate Georgia law.
It is important to understand that you can break the law even if you take your own legally prescribed medication precisely according to your doctor's instructions. It also does not matter whether you knew your medication could affect your driving. The two major issues to determine would be whether you intentionally took the medication and whether it caused you to drive less safely.
Various types of drugs doctors commonly prescribe have known side effects that will likely impair driving safety. Some examples include anxiety medications, sleep aids and painkillers. These substances can impair vision, slow reaction times, affect physical coordination or make it difficult to focus. Some cause extreme sleepiness or dizziness.
You should stay aware that even a medication that does not have a reputation for serious side effects may still cause them. Discussing any new medication and its potential effects with your doctor and pharmacist can give you more information. While many such medications also come with warning labels, the absence of this label does not mean anyone is guaranteeing the drug will not have concerning effects.
Some people do experience rare, unpredictable effects that may not come up in these discussions. To stay on the safe side, avoid driving after taking a new medication for the first few times. The same applies if you need a different dosage or even change from generic to brand, or the other way around. Sometimes, a drug may not produce an effect on its own but will do so in combination with another medication or with even a minute amount of alcohol. Over-the-counter medications, especially those designed to alleviate colds or insomnia, can also produce powerful effects that can impair driving.

Jane Pooley passed 3 lie detector tests before appearing on the channel 10 program – Studio 10. As a lifelong experiencer, Jane has participated in the Grey alien and human breeding program.
Jane has a clear recall of most of her experiences on the craft and has met and hugged her 3 hybrid 'humalien' children and grand daughter and been given a tour of a massive Grey mothership. There was also an opportunity to ask questions and gain knowledge and clarity of her profound experiences.
A natural seeker, Jane has always desired a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the universe. This assisted her to process and integrate her ongoing experiences with the Greys and live with an expanded consciousness.
Jane previously enjoyed a long career in emergency nursing and education with ongoing study and updating her qualifications. This considerably helped Jane to understand what was happening to her at a biological and anatomical level and more significantly, why.
The decision to 'go public' with her story helped Jane to acknowledge her own experience with her 'humalien' children as real and to also assist other abductees who were struggling to understand their experience of having unborn children taken by ET's.
Today Jane is a pioneer bringing the abduction experience into public awareness and has bravely shared her experience with resolute courage and determination to have the truth of the existence of ET's disclosed as this is the reality of the cosmos that we are connected to.
However, Jane asserts that the Grey's have been very kind to her and embraces the fullness of her experience with this ET race.
Jane's contact experiences with the Grey's are ongoing with the latest being January 2018 and are the subject of her published book Humalien: The Lighter Side Of The Grey Alien And Human Breeding Program.
Both a mother and grandmother, Jane lives on the Central Coast of NSW, which is a known hotspot for UFO sightings.


The benefits which major sports stadia can bring to the wider community were highlighted at a conference in Belfast last night.
Representatives from the award-winning 'Everton in the Community' initiative shared their experiences of how football clubs and their facilities can be used to positive effect and bring substantive benefits to the communities in which they are located.
Speaking at the 'Ready For The Challenge' conference, held in the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, Philip Duffy, executive director of EitC, spoke of the many community engagement programmes undertaken in the initiative's 30-year history.
Mr Duffy told delegates that the club took part in some 40 social programmes and supported 2,000 charities, working with 230 partner organisations. Since its formation in February 1988, EitC, who employs 116 full-time and 40 casual staff also has invested £6.2 million in community assets, including the Everton Free School and housing projects.
The conference was organised as part of the new Stadium Community Benefits Initiative, a ten-year, £1.5 million programme developed by Belfast City Council, the Irish Football Association (IFA) and the Department for Communities, which was launched last November.
The initiative aims to see the new Stadium act as a catalyst for a wide range of programmes and projects aimed at promoting community engagement through schools, clubs and youth organisations; supporting new and existing football clubs to increase their capacity to develop and grow; as well as generally promoting wellbeing and healthy lifestyle choices among the wider population.
The scheme offers opportunities such as coach education, volunteer training, club development support, Clubmark accreditation, school-based programmes and community events at the National Football Stadium.
The conference looked at issues such as youth engagement, mental health, volunteer development and female participation in all aspects of sport.

NASA Captures Radar Images of Huge Asteroid Near Earth (Photo)
By Miriam Kramer 2013-08-27T11:37:07Z
Radar images of asteroid 2005 WK4 were obtained on Aug. 8, 2013. The asteroid is between 660 - 980 feet (200 - 300 meters) in diameter.

NASA scientists captured detailed radar views of a huge asteroid as it whizzed by Earth earlier this month.
The new radar images show the asteroid 2005 WK4 as it passed Earth on Aug. 8 at a safe distance of 1.93 million miles (3.1 million kilometers), which is about 8.2 times the distance between Earth and the moon. The images revealed the large asteroid to be between 660 and 980 feet across (200 to 300 meters), NASA officials explained in a statement.
NASA captured the asteroid images by using the agency's Space Network antenna in Goldstone, Calif., a 230-foot (70 m) antenna that can be used to conduct radar astronomy as well as track spacecraft in deep space.
"Radar is a powerful technique for studying an asteroid's size, shape, rotation state, surface features and surface roughness, and for improving the calculation of asteroid orbits," NASA officials said. "Radar measurements of asteroid distances and velocities often enable computation of asteroid orbits much further into the future than if radar observations weren't available."
NASA scientists keep a close watch over near-Earth asteroids that could threaten the planet sometime in the future. Thus far, United States assets have found more than 98 percent of known NEOs, NASA officials wrote in a release.
In June, scientists using a telescope in Hawaii discovered the 10,000th near-Earth-object. Although that may be a large number, there are many more potentially hazardous space rocks to seek out.
About 10 percent of the tracked asteroids are 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) in size. If one of these large objects were to impact the Earth, it could be a global problem. None of these larger asteroids are in danger of impacting the Earth, according to NASA. So far, scientists have found more than 90 percent of the huge space rocks.
A mission scheduled to launch in 2016 will send a robotic spacecraft to a possibly dangerous near-Earth object known as asteroid (101955) Bennu.OSIRIS-Rex will collect samples from the asteroid when it intercepts the space rock in 2020. The probe could study the asteroid for up to 505 days.

BORROMEO BROS. ESTATE, INC., Petitioner, v. EDGAR JOHN A. GARCIA, Respondent.
Before us is a Petition for Review on Certiorari which seeks the reversal of the Consolidated Decision1 and Resolution2 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. Sp. Nos. 47049 and 48512 which affirmed the Orders3 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) to annotate an easement of road right of way on the title of petitioner Borromeo Bros. Estate, Inc. in favor of respondent Edgar John A. Garcia.
On September 28, 1938, Patricia sold the property to petitioner. The Deed of Sale contained a provision that "the purchase of Lot No. 6-H-2 was subject to the right of way granted by me (Patricia Ruedas Vda. de Andrada) to the spouses Gil Garcia and Teresa Escaño de Garcia."
On April 17, 1952, the Garcia couple went to the Court of First Instance (CFI) of Cebu and moved for the annotation of the August 17, 1938 document executed by Patricia on TCT No. RT-3972.
No opposition having been filed to the motion of the spouses Gil Garcia and Teresa Escaño, through Atty. Vicente Faelnar, dated April 17, 1952, it appearing that the Borromeo Bros. Estate, Inc. [herein petitioner], through Atty. Filiberto Leonardo, received a copy of the notice of hearing of said motion on June 24, 1952, the Register of Deeds for the City and Province of Cebu is hereby ordered to annotate on Transfer Certificate of Title No. RT-3972 the contents of the documents ratified on August 18, 1938 in said motion.
Petitioner retained ownership over Lot No. 6-H-2 whereas the estate of the late Garcia couple (Garcia Estate) was inherited by Vicente E. Garcia and Jose E. Garcia from whom respondent acquired his title in 1996.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, this Honorable Court is most respectfully prayed to issue an Order directing the Register of Deeds for the City of Cebu to inscribe and annotate in the TCT No. RT-3972 a road right of way indicated in the motion dated April 17, 1997 x x x x after payment of the corresponding registration fees prescribed by law.
Since the Borromeo Bros. Estate did not oppose the previous petition for annotation of road right of way contained in the order of Judge Ignacio Debuque, this [c]ourt hereby grants the petition filed by Engr. Edgar John A. Garcia, the registered owner of TCT No. 142344 covering Lot 6-H-1 and directs the Register of Deeds of Cebu City to annotate on TCT No. RT-3972 the contents of the document ratified on August 18, 1938 recited in paragraph 4 of the instant petition after payment of the corresponding registration fees prescribed by law. Furnish the Borromeo Bros. Estate with a copy of this order as well as Atty. Loreto M. Durano, counsel for the petitioner.
Aggrieved, petitioner filed on December 29, 1997 a petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals, docketed as CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049. It alleged grave abuse of discretion on the part of the cadastral court for the issuance of its Orders dated July 23, 1997 and December 15, 1997.
Should this [c]ourt enforce the questioned order now, any ruling by the Court of Appeals in the petition for certiorari if it is in favor of petitioner BBEI would create a situation wherein the ruling of a higher [c]ourt can no longer be implemented because the lower [c]ourt had chosen to enforce its order without waiting for the outcome of the petition for certiorari . This [c]ourt does not want to preempt the ruling of the Court of Appeals and therefore, this [c]ourt on the basis of the ruling of the Supreme Court aforementioned13 and in the higher interest of justice will not enforce at this time the order dated July 23, 1997.
Respondent's April 29, 1998 motion for reconsideration14 was denied. Thus, respondent filed before the Court of Appeals a petition for mandamus and certiorari, docketed as CA-G.R. Sp. No. 48512.
The Court of Appeals held that the evidence on record shows the existence of an easement of right of way in favor of respondent. But in dismissing the petition in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049, it anchored its decision on the fact that petitioner filed a special action for certiorari in which the appellate court is limited only to correcting errors of jurisdiction or grave abuse of discretion.
On the other hand, in granting the petition in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 48512, the Court of Appeals emphasized that since no restraining order or writ of injunction was issued in the other petition, the period on the finality of the Order of the cadastral court was never interrupted; and that the filing of a petition for certiorari does not prevent the decision from attaining finality as it is an independent action which does not interrupt the course of the principal action or the running of the reglementary period involved in the proceedings.
On July 9, 1999, petitioner filed its motion for reconsideration but the appellate court denied it in its Resolution of August 9, 1999.17 Hence, this Petition for Review on Certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court for the annulment and setting aside of the June 21, 1999 Consolidated Decision as well as the August 9, 1999 Resolution of the Court of Appeals.
Petitioner alleged these errors: (1) the appellate court erred in dismissing CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049 and not reversing the July 23, 1997 Order of the cadastral court despite (a) the nullity of the Order for the denial of petitioner's substantive and procedural right to due process and (b) the commission of abuse of discretion and action without or in excess of jurisdiction of the cadastral court when it revived a stale order, and (2) it likewise erred in granting the petition in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 48512.
At the outset, the Court emphasizes that the proper subjects of this Rule 45 Petition are the Consolidated Decision and Resolution of the Court of Appeals and not the Orders of the cadastral court.
The appellate court was correct in striking down the petition of petitioner in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049 on procedural grounds. Indeed, the filing of a special civil action for certiorari before the Court of Appeals limits the determination of the appellate court to whether there was an error of jurisdiction or grave abuse of discretion on the part of the cadastral court. A special civil action for certiorari is an independent action, raising the question of jurisdiction where the tribunal, board or officer exercising judicial or quasi-judicial functions has acted without or in excess of jurisdiction, or with grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals found neither error of jurisdiction nor grave abuse of discretion, and dismissed the petition by stating that "[t]o Us and to say the most, aforementioned arguments are indeed typical only of either an error of procedure or an error of judgment." This Court agrees.
Moreover, even assuming that the appellate court may correctly resolve error of procedure or error of judgment in the instant case, there was none committed by the cadastral court.
x x x x On August 8, 1997, the date set by Atty. Mercado for the hearing of his motion, the lawyers of both parties appeared including Atty. Amadeo D. Seno, Jr. and the court allowed the parties to argue on the merits of their respective contentions and later on directed the lawyers to put their additional arguments in writing together with additional documentary evidence and to cite the law, authorities and decisions of the Supreme Court in their respective contentions. BBEI (petitioner herein) filed its memorandum with annexes and documentary exhibits. x x x oppositor BBEI filed its reply.
Indeed, deprivation of the right to due process cannot be successfully invoked where a party was given the chance to be heard on his Motion for Reconsideration20 as what happened in the instant case.
Moreover, the July 23, 1997 and December 15, 1997 Orders of the cadastral court were based on established facts on the existence of the grant of an easement of road right of way in favor of respondent, viz: (1) an Agreement, for a valuable consideration, dated August 15, 1936 executed by Patricia that granted a road right of way over Lot No. 6-H-2 and Lot No. 7 to the Garcia couple; (2) an Agreement, for a valuable consideration, dated August 17, 1938 executed by Patricia that granted a road right of way over Lot 6-H-2 to the Garcia couple; (3) Deed of Sale dated September 28, 1938 executed by Patricia in favor of Borromeo Bros. Estate, Inc. that contained a provision: "x x x the purchase of Lot No. 6-H-2 was subject to the right of way granted by me (Patricia Ruedas Vda. de Andrada) to the spouses Gil Garcia and Teresa Escano de Garcia"; (4) the Official Receipt issued by the Register of Deeds of Cebu, Commonwealth of the Philippines No. B 2582295, dated August 18, 1938, upon registration shows the annotation on the title of the Agreement on the road right of way over Lot No. 6-H-2 in favor of the Garcia couple; and (5) the May 2, 1953 Letter of the Borromeo Bros. Estate, Inc., through Flora D. Borromeo, to Mr. Gil Garcia expressly and categorically recognizing or confirming the establishment of a road right of way over Lot No. 6-H-2 and Lot No. 7 in favor of the Garcia couple.
Clearly, whether the July 23, 1997 Order of the cadastral court is a revival of the June 28, 1952 Order of another cadastral court is immaterial as the latter was not the sole basis for the granting of the petition for annotation of the road right of way. It merely bolstered the petition of respondent to annotate the road right of way in his favor.
In fine, the records of the instant case show that (1) there was substantial evidence to support the annotation of the easement of right of way on the title of petitioner in favor of respondent and (2) the requirements of due process were sufficiently met. No abuse of discretion was committed by the cadastral court. Consequently, the Court of Appeals is justified in dismissing the petition in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049.
Likewise, there being no more obstacles in the immediate execution of the Order requiring the annotation of the easement of road right of way on the title of the property of petitioner in favor of respondent, the Court affirms the Court of Appeals in granting the petition in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 48512.
IN VIEW WHEREOF, the petition is DENIED. The Consolidated Decision and Resolution of the Court of Appeals dated June 21, 1999 and August 9, 1999, respectively, in CA-G.R. Sp. No. 47049 and CA-G.R. Sp. No. 48512 are AFFIRMED.

It's a parental instinct to keep your kids from harm and hurt and it's a good thing for parents to do–for a while.
As your children grow, you give them more responsibilities and privileges. They learn to drive, do their own laundry, keep up with their homework. You proudly watch them grow up, and even though you may feel like you are "letting go," there is still that last apron string that you just can't seem to cut.
In an effort to continue protecting, we do not let them fight their own battles.
Hang around a gymnasium, soccer field, football field, baseball or softball diamond and you will parents who struggle with this. Whether it's a fight for playing time, a conflict with a coach, or dealing with a trash-talking teammate, parents step in to do battle, not realizing that their actions are actually hurting their kids more than helping them.
It may take all the self-control you can muster to not step in with guns blazing, but if you do step in, you are hindering them from growing in their independence.
Start by being a diligent listener.
When your kids are ready to tell you about their struggles, listen more than you speak. When kids get in the car after practice the last thing they want is to answer a bunch of questions about the practice.
So one simple question about "how was your day" should suffice until they are ready to talk.
Teach them to how to speak for themselves.
Discuss with them how they can talk to the coach about a problem. My husband has coached for 29 years and he explains that there are good and bad ways to confront a coach.
This approach puts the responsibility on the athlete to improve and fight for his time and does not sound accusatory to the coach.
Coaches do not like to be pestered!
Prepare them for a long fight.
Kids want to have everything NOW, including a victory and a resolution to problems. But some battles cannot be won overnight; they may even be season-long.
When our kids were discouraged about their playing time or their performance, I'd like to say that their persistence was always rewarded. However, not all sports seasons have happy endings.
I've seen my volleyball-playing daughter win the battle for starting libero by mid-season and I've seen my son struggle until the very last game with a basketball coach he could never seem to please. In both cases, our kids fought their own battle every step of the way, with my husband and I cheering from the sidelines.
Let your kids go, let them fight.
Long after the balls and bats and hoops gather dust in the garage, the life lessons your athletes learned as they fought their battles on the court and field will prepare them just a little bit more for the battles of life that lay ahead.

Lenten Lectures 2014, Dr. Ron Tappy -- 8, 10 & 15 April
Jerusalem: City of Passion — Dr. Ron Tappy
The American Church in Paris is proud to present its 2014 Lenten Lecture series on Jerusalem: City of Passion, with Dr. Ron Tappy, world-renowned archaeologist and professor at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Please join us for these three fascinating talks at the ACP:
The Way to Jerusalem - Tuesday 8 April at 19h30 in the Thurber Room (dinner at 18h30)
The Truth at the Temple - Thursday 10 April at 19h30 in the Thurber Room (dinner at 18h30)
The Life from the Tomb - Tuesday 15 April at 19h30
The talks will combine biblical narratives with archaeology and geography. The first talk begins in Galilee, but moves quickly to Jerusalem, with a brief history of the city and its explorers. The second talk focuses on the magnificent Temple that resulted from the renovations by Herod and how Jesus related to both the actual building itself and the institution, or the idea of a Temple. The final talk (during Holy Week) moves to the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of the arrest and then follows Jesus down the Kidron Valley and up the hill to the House of Caiaphas.
Rather than architecture, geography will provide the background here, as the Kidron will become the ultimate "valley of the shadow of death"–death for us all. Near the site that Dr. Tappy have been excavating in Israel for the last 15 years, there is a true first-century tomb that very few tourists ever see. It has the chambers, the niches, the benches, the rolling stone, etc. It will provide the perfect illustration of the type of tomb that was Jesus's burial place.
Dr. Ron Ta ppy began excavating at various sites in Israel more than 30 years ago, and his current field research at Tel Zayit involves a full-scale field exploration of a Late Bronze–Iron Age town in the Shephelah ("lowlands") region of biblical Judah. During the 2005 season of excavation, his team discovered an inscription incised in stone of the earliest known, securely datable Hebrew alphabet.
Dr. Tappy is a leading authority on the archaeology of Israelite Samaria and has written two books on that subject. His articles have covered biblical archaeology, ancient Israelite burial customs and beliefs about the afterlife, the 23rd Psalm, and the Ten Commandments. His teaching focuses on the life and literature of the Old Testament period, biblical archaeology, and the history of Israel. It examines ways in which the broader cultural context of biblical Israel shaped both the world of the biblical writers and, by extension, their theological outlook.
These lectures are free and open to all. Please feel free to invite friends and associates!

Reset: the host server drops connections. It is either misconfigured or too busy.
The website owner entered the incorrect URL (misspelled, mistyped, etc.).
The URL structure of your site recently changed (permalinks) without a redirect and it's causing a 404 error.
The external site is no longer available, is offline, or has been permanently moved.
Links to content (PDF, Google Doc, video, etc.) that has been moved or deleted.
Firewall or geolocation restriction does not allow outside access.
Don't ignore the impact of a dead link: user experience is an important factor that affects SEO. When search engines algorithms change, it's because their primary goal is to provide a better search and experience for users. Search engines will understand that there will be some broken links, but when an actual user goes to your site, they might not be as forgiving. This will inevitably reduce your reputation.
Regardless of whether you have one or many broken links, each visitor on your page will determine their decision based on usability, experience, load time and content. If broken links exist on your site and the visitor cannot access the information, they will move on to a different site that can provide them the information they need. The less time they spend on your site, the higher the bounce rate.
If you have hundreds of pages or posts on your site, you can use a tool like SEOptimer's DIY SEO to crawl all of your pages to identify broken links – or download a plugin for your CMS platform that can check these.
Google Search Console can also help identify any issues with your site once their bots have crawled your site. If a page of your website is broken, they will notify you. Note that they only show URLs on your website and not external links.
Keep in mind that Crawl errors are prioritized; if the URLs are not important then you can rest assured the errors won't affect your search results.
Below is a list of actual existing pages that have not been found. This report shows how important it is that there is a fix for broken links;, without one, these pages will be affected in their current search results.
404 errors search console makes this easy by prioritizing crawl errors for you. If the top errors in the report are all irrelevant, you can rest assured that there's nothing pressing further down on the list of 404 crawl errors.
Avoid deep links in website unless (or until) required. A deep link is one that links to an actual page instead of a homepage; other synonyms for a deep link include internal linking or anchor text. Whether it is internal or external, if you believe the site is a reliable source of information, you definitely want to use deep links. If, for example, you run an ecommerce shop and you are linking to your own product pages that might go away when you no longer have inventory, you'll need to schedule a monthly checkup to make sure none of your links are broken.
If the link is an external link, reach out to the linking website and request a fix: If the linking website made a mistake when linking to you, it's worth reaching out and letting them know about the issue. They may fix it, or you might also have a link opportunity with them. If the URL source or website no longer exists, you can try replacing it with a different source or removing it completely.
Recreate and replace the content at the broken URL. Find out what the broken page used to be and replace or recreate it.
Leave as a 404: This is a totally viable option; you just need to make sure that you show a "hard" 404, not a "soft" 404. Need information on how to create a 404 page?
WordPress does not offer an out-of-the-box redirect solution, but there are two options to fix your broken links and redirect them to a new page.
Having too many plugins on your WordPress site can impact your site performance. If you have thousands of pages on your site, you might want to install Simple 301 Redirect for WordPress to avoid issues.
Another way to set up 301 redirect is to use the web server configuration file .htaccess. It's a much faster and easier way to create a 301 redirect that does not impact your site's performance.
However, any small mistake can cause an Internal Server Error for your site. Therefore, before you edit your .htaccess file and make any changes, back up your file.
To access your .htaccess file, you'll need to connect to your web server via FTP. Most hosting providers should be able to show you how to obtain an FTP client.
To open your .htaccess file, you'll need to use Notepad or TextEdit.
Once saved, you can upload the file via FTP. Your old link is now redirect to the new page.
There are no plugins in Wix with the ability to identify broken links; additionally, Wix does not support .htaccess. However, they do provide an inhouse solution where you can enter your old page URL and redirect to the new page URL.
Shopify offers an inhouse redirect solution from any broken URL to a new relevant page that is still live.

Peekaboo is Someone Watching You?
One of the things we often see when we work on clients' computers is a covered webcam – usually with a strip of tape, occasionally with a post-it note, band-aid, or, in some more extreme cases, with paint or nail polish. It's understandable to see a camera lens pointed at you and wonder what it's doing. After all, how do you know somebody's not watching it right now? This made the national news last year when FBI director James Comey, following advice he'd seen online, admitted he taped over the camera on his computer. This might very well leave you wondering if this is something we need to worry about or do in our daily lives.

About Bleckmman
Bleckmann achieves first Lean & Green Star: 'Now we can support our clients with even better sustainability advice'
Bleckmann Fashion & Lifestyle Logistics has received its first Lean & Green Star. This milestone came as the result of hard work and dedication to continued improvement initiatives. It reflects some of the CSR related ambitions of Bleckmann. Ron Thijssen, Manager Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): "In the fashion and lifestyle ecosystem it's increasingly important to work sustainably, which goes beyond business models. Towards the future we will therefore emphasize on partnering with sustainable chain partners to enable and implement further improvements."
At the start of the Lean & Green process logistics service providers have a choice. They can focus on making transport more sustainable, but they can also involve warehousing activities in the initiative. Bleckmann chose the second approach. Thijssen: "In the calculations we focused both on everything that leaves our Dutch distribution centers as well as on everything that is shipped from the ports via our Dutch DC's." Achieving the star is Bleckmann's second appealing achievement within just one year. Earlier in 2020, the company entered the Top 10 of leading Dutch logistics service providers, and that partly thanks to its efforts in the area of sustainability.
Working together is the basis for sustainable improvements
"Achieving the Lean & Green Star is a joint success of the various Bleckmann departments", says the Manager CSR. "Our first goal was to find out how we wanted to calculate CO2 emissions and what quantities we had to deal with. Then we started to back calculate everything to the amount of CO2 per package."
In the process towards the Lean & Green Star various departments have started to cooperate differently and more closely with each other. Thijssen: "This applies, for example, to the Business Intelligence and Transport departments. In the past, the focus was more on performance, monitoring whether the agreed KPI was achieved. Now, as a company, we really have to look beyond and we can only do that if we work together. Therefore, the priority has changed. Furthermore, our clients also show increasing interest in the carbon emissions and impact of transport of their shipments. Thanks to the collected data and Lean & Green calculations, we can now evaluate it in a more transparent way. The guidance from Connekt and Bigmile was very helpful to put it all together."
Bleckmann also wants to roll out Lean & Green abroad
Bleckmann will not rest on its laurels now that the first star has been achieved. In 2021 the Fashion & Lifestyle Logistics specialist is planning to roll out the Lean & Green approach throughout its operations abroad. "For this to be successful, data discipline is crucial. After all, what do you compare, boxes or pallets? The basis is now in place, we can build on it. This means that we can not only look at where and how we can optimize transport in terms of CO2 emissions. It also means that we can inform and advise our clients and look for possible alternative ways of transport", concludes Thijssen.

Marketing Director vs. High School Teacher: What's the Difference?
As marketers, we seek to share a brand with an audience.
As educators, we seek to share a concept with a classroom.
There isn't a difference. At their core, marketing and education are one in the same. As host of the IMA Leader podcast, I've engaged in a series of episodes that explore the intersection of education and marketing. You'd be surprised how much a Social Media Manager can learn from a former 9th grade teacher and vice versa.
Modern marketers know that success no longer comes from shouting the loudest. Chris Moody is a Director of Marketing for Oracle and a recent guest on my show. He said in episode 37 that it's not like the days when if you built it, they would come. There's a boatload of content out there now and, like a teacher, you have to look for signs that your audience is listening and then present your concept in a way that can be easily consumed.
Otherwise, today's consumers act like the kids in the back of the room and just tune you out. Now they can even take action like barring telemarketing calls, shutting off ads, blocking emails, and surfing incognito. As Brian Wong the CEO of Kiip said in episode 18, marketers who do their jobs poorly might end up pushing the entire industry over a cliff.
Today, success comes from asking, listening, responding, and engaging. This is where good educators shine. They know that what they are teaching may not be the stuff of a Hollywood mini-drama, but they get creative and pull their audience in. They differentiate the instruction and personalize the learning experience as much as possible for each student. Good teachers are true modern marketers and most don't even realize it.
Diane Senffner, the CEO of Cine Learning Productions, describes in episode 34 how she was commissioned to educate a community about chronic illness and Type II Diabetes. Past campaigns just listed off symptoms and recommendations on a brochure which put the entire audience to sleep.
Instead of avoiding drama, Diane and her team went looking for it. They created a short telenovela about a family facing chronic illnesses. Through a story, they made sterile and confusing medical terms personal and emotional.
They saw a 20% increase in the health literacy rate of their audience.
David May (guest in episode 36) is the Director of Web for Chapman University and has website designers and content developers working for him. He's also in charge of the University Phone Operator.
Just like a student who tells his teacher about a problem from the book he can't figure out, empowering the teacher to cover the material in a different way, when a prospective student calls Chapman with a question, the Operator is able to escalate trends in those questions to his boss who can then directly affect change to the school's website.
Schools tend to be very flat organizations with teachers empowered to facilitate learning without a lot of direct oversight from Administration. Is your organization structured to facilitate the free flow of information from the area who talks to your customers and the area who markets to them?
Good teachers teach anywhere and any time they see an opportunity. Good parents look for teachable moments when they can teach their children something important because the child asked a question.
Entrepreneurs and companies who believe in giving away valuable information for free are more likely to be viewed as an expert on the topic and sought out for objective feedback in the future. Laura Petersen – the co-founder of Student-Tutor, a former high school math teacher, and episode 33 guest – took her company from zero to 36,000 website hits a month by giving away insights about SAT prep, scholarships, and tricks to make math easier. Student-Tutor hit the first page of Google for important search terms by giving away relevant information.
As Christoph Trappe said in episode 5, quality content will always rank high. Whether that's on a search engine or in the minds of your potential customers, learning to market like an educator can give you a leg up on your competition.
I spent several years working for a Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes company that assisted CEOs in learning how to properly tell stories that sold their products. The education I received was invaluable.
If you have a solid product, you will get a piece of that 3% automatically. Most of your competitors are going to be focused on getting as much of the 3% as possible. Even bad teachers have students who learn the material. A portion of every class is filled with high performers who either already know the content or can teach themselves. Teachers focus on the kids who need the help.
Start looking at your audience like a teacher looks at a classroom. Find the prospects who don't yet know they need what you're selling and educate them.

Minister of State Roth becomes Chairman of Supervisory Board at Center for International Peace Operations (ZIF)
At today's cabinet meeting, the Federal Government learned who was to be on the Supervisory Board of the Berlin Center for International Peace Operations (ZIF).
The Chairmanship will in future be held by Michael Roth, Minister of State for Europe at the Federal Foreign Office. The Board also comprises members of the parliamentary groups which have a presence in the Bundestag as well as representatives of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
ZIF has been the Federal Foreign Office's own implementing agency since 2002. It finds, coordinates, prepares and trains civilian experts for international peace operations and election observation missions run by the EU, OSCE, United Nations and NATO.
ZIF maintains a pool of around 1300 civilian experts whose participation in missions can – as seen recently in Ukraine – be arranged at very short notice. Since 2002, more than 3000 Germans and non-Germans have taken part in ZIF training courses to prepare for operations.
Over and above that, ZIF has recruited, prepared and coordinated around 3700 German election observers for more than 240 different OSCE and EU observation missions over the last 12 years.
Michael Roth, the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board, commented as follows:

Fear for democracy
US CEOs: Trump has to go
The influential US industry association NAM, which represents thousands of companies – including Exxon Mobil, Pfizer and Toyota – is calling for an urgent review of Trump's impeachment. Blackstone boss and Trump ally Schwarzman expressed dismay at the "mob" and the chaos after the revolt.
Associations and company heads in the USA fear for the stability and democracy in the country in the face of the violent storm of Trump supporters on the Capitol in Washington. The reaction of the president of the US industrial association National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to the revolt was the sharpest.
Your boss Jay Timmons called for impeachment proceedings against election loser Donald Trump by the still-ruling Republican government. US President Trump has "incited violence while trying to stay in power," he said. The industry association represents 14,000 companies, including Exxon Mobil, Pfizer and Toyota.
Several prominent company bosses also expressed concern on social networks or called for the divisions in the population to be overcome after the US election. The Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs, called on Trump and everyone else in charge to "end the chaos and facilitate a peaceful transfer of power". What happened in the capital was the result of illegal efforts to abolish legitimate results of a democratic election.
Apple CEO Tim Cook called for those responsible for the riot to be held accountable. The boss of the investment bank JPMorgan Chase Jamie Dimon expressed himself as one of the first with the appeal: "Our elected representatives are responsible for calling for an end to violence, accepting the election results and, as in our democracy in hundreds of years, a peaceful change of power to support."
Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, a Trump ally, also expressed concern. The riot is terrible and an affront to the democratic values of the Americans. "I am shocked and appalled by this mob's attempt to undermine our constitution," he added.
Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said, according to a spokesman, that Trump's video message about the riots had been removed because this situation had to be treated like an emergency. "Our political leaders must set an example and put the nation first." The head of the car manufacturer General Motors, Mary Barra, called on Twitter to reconcile the country and to strengthen its values and ideals again.
