Harassment Policy and Procedures
If you feel you're being harassed by others …. And you are a learner at Global London College's training provision;
lRead the Policy and Procedure documents;
lIf at all possible, make clear to the person causing offence that such behaviour is unacceptable to you;
lIf you feel unable to confront the person directly or if talking to them has no effect, either:Talk the problem through with a friend, or, if you feel it would help, with a member of Global London College team.
lSeek a confidential interview with a member of the Global London College senior management team.
If you're a member of staff, the procedures are more or less the same; you can also seek advice from your line manager, the Global London College directors or refer to details provided in the Staff Handbook.
Personal Harassment Policy
1. Global London College are committed to providing a learning environment free of unlawful discrimination and improper harassment. Sexual, racial and other forms of personal harassment can seriously worsen study and social conditions and affect the general quality of life for all members at Global London College training provision, as well as the direct victims. Any allegation of personal harassment will therefore be regarded extremely seriously and will be investigated and, if appropriate, may be grounds for disciplinary action.
2. All members of Global London College staff and learners, are responsible for helping to ensure that individuals do not suffer sexual, racial or any other form of harassment, and that they are encouraged and supported in any legitimate complaint.
3. Any difficulty in defining what constitutes harassment should not deter anyone from complaining of behaviour which causes them distress, nor should they be deterred by embarrassment, intimidation or fear of publicity. The sensitivity of harassment complaints and the desire for confidentiality will be respected by Global London College.
4. Threats, abuse or insults which are actually intended to cause harassment, alarm or distress constitute a criminal offence. This is so whether or not they are racially or sexually motivated, and whether the victim's response is one of fear or of counter-aggression. But less extreme behaviour can be equally insidious and upsetting and will be viewed seriously by Global London College.
What is Harassment?
Harassment is unwanted behaviour which is hostile and/or offensive to the recipient or others, and which is not justified by the professional or working relationship. Such behaviour may be physical, verbal, non-verbal, or be in written form (communicated as graffiti, letters or e-mail).
What Distinguishes Harassment From Other Forms of Behaviour?
Personal harassment takes many forms, but has certain characteristics in each of those forms: there are words or conduct which cause unwanted offence or intimidation, and would be regarded as doing so by any reasonable person with a firm idea of what is and is not acceptable. It is this which distinguishes it from mere rudeness or bad manners, and also ensures that nothing is treated as harassment which would not generally be regarded as such. This is not to say that the victim's own feelings are irrelevant, merely that they are not conclusive. Furthermore, there may be differences of culture, or of social attitudes between individuals which lead to misunderstandings. On the other hand, once the victim's unusual sensitivity becomes known, the reasonable bystander might well say that, for example, the sort of tactless joke which was not harassment the first time becomes harassment if repeated.
In general terms, therefore, harassment is the unreasonable abuse of the victim, whether by another learner or by a person in a position of authority. It may take a number of forms.
Sexual harassment occurs when a person's sexuality is emphasised over and above their standing as a member of the college community. Most commonly it will be harassment of a woman by a man, but is equally unacceptable between members of the same sex or when a man is harassed by a woman.
Examples of unwanted and unreciprocated conduct amounting to harassment would include-
a. remarks, gestures, jokes or offensive language which can reasonably be said to belittle or intimidate the victim;
b. provocative or suggestive remarks or pressure to accept unwelcome invitations
c. display or circulation of pornography or material stridently attacking particular sexual preferences
d. deliberate physical contact to which the victim has not consented, or to which no opportunity to object has been given.
In all these cases, harassment occurs if the reasonable person would agree that the conduct, in itself or by reason of repetition, makes the victim's academic or social environment hostile or intimidating. In extreme cases, this can be taken for granted. The promise of academic success in return for sexual favours could never be anything but harassment; nor could indecent assault, let alone more serious sexual aggression.
Racial harassment is hostile and offensive behaviour by an individual or group (usually) towards those of another racial or ethnic group. As in the case of sexual harassment, the words or conduct complained of are such as can reasonably be regarded as taking one characteristic as the defining and undesirable characteristic of the victim. For example-
lthe use of derogatory names, insults, racist jokes or ridicule of cultural differences
lthe display or circulation of racist material, or racist graffiti
lverbal abuse or threats which, in any case, create an intimidating or hostile environment.
Other forms of personal harassment are forms of unacceptable bullying or insult which any reasonable person would recognise as creating a hostile or intimidating environment for the victim. Examples might in particular cases include –
ldirect or indirect references to a disability or impairment
linvasion of privacy, for instance by anonymous phone calls or letters
lrepeated practical jokes
labusive or rowdy behaviour calculated to interfere with the victim's study or social life.
Some such conduct will simply be thoughtless or ill-mannered, but there will come a point at which, because of the extreme form it takes, or because it is repeated or persisted in once known to be unwanted, it becomes more than the assertion of freedom of expression and behaviour, or the manifestation of high spirits, and may reasonably be judged to be harassment.
Personal Harassment Procedures
These procedures give effect to Global London College's policy statement and are concerned with all complaints of harassment from a learner about another learner, and from a learner about a member of staff. A learner experiencing harassment from someone outside the Global London College training provision can seek guidance and support their assessor, mentor, ETE coach or a member of the Global London College ! senior management team. A member of staff with a complaint about another member of staff, a learner or a visitor to the College should refer to operations director.
1.Global London College is committed to providing a learning environment free of discrimination and harassment. The primary consideration is to ensure that maximum and appropriate support is made available to any subject of any alleged harassment and that action to resolve a complaint is tactful, sensitive, sympathetic and prompt. Where the harassment takes a serious form, either because of its nature, or because of the repetition of the act, Global London College will also need to consider whether any disciplinary action is appropriate.
2.This procedure consists of a number of stages. Normally allegations of harassment would initially be dealt with at stage 1 unless the offence was particularly serious or involved repetition of conduct that had previously been recognised as harassment.
Stage l – informal Procedures
1.A person who believes that s/he is the subject of harassment should, wherever possible, ask the person to desist from the behaviour complained of.
2.Where the harassment continues or is serious; or where the victim does not want to approach the perpetrator; or where the harasser cannot be identified, the victim should approach a member of staff. The important point is that the member of staff is someone they feel able to approach and talk to.
3.If the learner has been attacked or assaulted, the operations or training director must be contacted immediately: see section 3.
4.When approached by a learner who has experienced harassment, the member of staff should arrange space and time to hear the whole story. The role of the member of staff is to provide support and guidance: to listen to the learner's account and to help him/her decide what to do next. It is important for the member of staff to agree at the beginning what record is to be kept of the meeting and the para meters of confidentiality.
5.If after listening to the learner the staff member feels, for any reason, that the learner should be interviewed by another member of staff, this should be discussed with him/her, reasons given, and a rapid referral made.
6.When listening to the learner, the following questions will need to be answered:
a.Does the reported behaviour appear to be harassment?
b.Does the learner want some action to be taken by Global London College?
7. If the answer to both of these is YES, the member of staff should contact either the operations or training director. They will hear the allegation, probably see the complainant, and decide upon the next course of action. This may be informal or they may suggest the learner makes a formal complaint, so that the matter can be addressed under the Global London College's disciplinary procedures and decide the next course of action. At this stage nothing should take place without the agreement of the complainant.
8. Where mediation, conciliation or an informal warning has failed to stop· the harassment the matter must be referred back to the operation or training director. At this stage, if the alleged harasser is a member of staff, the WELFARE OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL must be informed.
9. If the incident is clearly one of harassment but the learner doesn't want or isn't sure they want some action to be taken by the College, the member of staff must report the incident to the directors, and explain the learner's wishes or concerns. These will be taken into consideration but Global London College reserves the right to take action in extreme circumstances without the permission of the complainant.
10. If the incident appears to be other than harassment and the learner does not want any action taken by the Global London College, the role of the staff member is to provide support and advice.
11. If the incident is not obviously harassment but the learner feels it is, and wants some action to be taken the member of staff must speak to the directors.
Stage 2 – Formal Complaint
1. Although the learner has the right to make a formal complaint at any stage, such a submission is likely to occur where:
a. the harassment is particularly serious;
b. the harassment is of a continuing nature, and is therefore considered a more serious offence.
2. To make a formal complaint, the learner must write to the training director detailing the incident/so This may be done with assistance of the member of staff the learner approached or was referred to.
3. Where the alleged harasser is a learner, the training director will normally interview both the complainant and the alleged harasser/s, and any other person s/he considers relevant. Both complainant and alleged harasser may be accompanied by a friend at such interviews. If the training director is satisfied that an offence has been committed, s/he will decide whether the matter can be dealt with a reprimand, or whether it should be reported to the WELFARE OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL for dealing with through the Stage 3 procedure. The training director will notify both the complainant and the alleged harasser of the outcome of his/her deliberations and will maintain a confidential record of all cases, however resolved.
4. A learner who has denied the offence but has been reprimanded by the training director may appeal against the decision to the WELFARE OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL.
5. Where the alleged harasser is a member of staff the matter should be referred in the first instance to the Director of Training.
6. A learner who makes a false statement with malicious intent in connection with allegations of harassment will be reported to the WELFARE OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL, and may be subject to disciplinary action.
Stage 3 – Formal Disciplinary Hearing
1. Serious cases of harassment by a learner will be reported to the College Director, and will be considered under the Global London College's Code of Learner Discipline.
2. Serious cases of harassment by a member of staff will be considered under the relevant disciplinary procedures.

Redevelopment of brownfield sites has become increasingly popular since the inception of voluntary cleanup programs in the early to mid 1990's. Local governments have begun to offer incentives to private developers or land owners to offset costs associated with contamination and encourage the redevelopment of properties that are typically underutilized. Incentives may take several forms including, but not limited to, fast-tracked project approval, risk based cleanup standards, liability relief, tax breaks, and direct funding assistance.

The U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of officers accused of excessive force
Kevin Dietsch, Getty Images
The U.S. Supreme Court is seen on Oct. 5, 2021 in Washington, D.C. The court is holding in-person arguments for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of police officers in two cases involving qualified immunity, the controversial legal doctrine that protects police officers accused of misconduct.
The two cases concerned police officers accused of using excessive force when responding to domestic disturbances. In one, officers used bean bag rounds and a knee on the suspect's back to subdue him; in the second, officers shot and killed the suspect after he approached them while raising a hammer.
Both decisions the court issued Monday were unsigned. No justices dissented.
Qualified immunity refers to a series of legal precedents that protect government officials — including police officers — accused of violating constitutional rights.
To win a civil suit against a police officer, complainants must show that the officer violated "clearly established law," most often by pointing to factually similar previous cases. Otherwise, officers are protected from liability.
Police advocates say that qualified immunity is necessary so that police officers can do their often-dangerous jobs without fear of frivolous lawsuits.
But those in favor of criminal justice reform say the doctrine has essentially created a catch-22, where officers are shielded from liability even in cases where it appears they violated civil rights — yet because no identical previous case already exists, the officers are protected.
In practice, the doctrine has shielded officers from liability in hundreds of civil cases, even when accused of destroying property, killing innocent people they mistook for suspects or stealing thousands of dollars.
The cases involved police officers accused of excessive use of force
The first of Monday's two cases concerned Daniel Rivas-Villegas, a police officer in Union City, Calif., who responded to a 911 call from a 12-year-old girl who, along with her mother and 15-year-old sister, had barricaded herself inside a room to hide from her mother's boyfriend, Ramon Cortesluna, who was reportedly using a chainsaw to destroy things in the house.
When officers arrived and confronted Cortesluna, they discovered he was carrying a knife. Another officer fired two non-lethal bean bag rounds at Cortesluna, after which he followed police orders to lie down. Rivas-Villegas knelt on Cortesluna's back and held up his arms as another officer retrieved the knife. After the incident, Cortesluna sued over use of excessive force.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Rivas-Villegas was not entitled to qualified immunity, citing similarities to a previous case called LaLonde vs. the County of Riverside, in which two police officers were denied qualified immunity after kneeling on a facedown unresisting suspect named John LaLonde.
But in reversing the appeals court's decision, the Supreme Court cited several other factors set the two incidents apart: The officers in LaLonde were responding to a noise complaint, not a domestic violence emergency; that LaLonde himself was unarmed, while Cortesluna was carrying a knife; that Rivas-Villegas had knelt on Cortesluna for only eight seconds as officers retrieved the knife.
In the second case, three police officers in Tahlequah, Okla., responded to an emergency call from a woman whose ex-husband, Dominic Rollice, was drunk and refusing to leave her home.
The officers confronted Rollice in the garage, where he grabbed a hammer. The officers drew their guns and yelled for Rollice to drop it. Instead, Rollice moved toward them and raised the hammer higher; two officers shot and killed him.
A lower court found that the Tahlequah officers had violated Rollice's Fourth Amendment rights when they "recklessly created the situation that led to the fatal shooting."
The Supreme Court reversed the court's decision, saying "not one" of the cases cited by the lower court "comes close to establishing that the officers' conduct was unlawful."
The doctrine has critics, but so far, efforts to change it have not succeeded
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas — among the court's most liberal and most conservative members, respectively — have previously criticized qualified immunity, though neither issued a dissent Monday.
Congressional Democrats have made multiple attempts in recent years to limit qualified immunity, though none has yet been successful. The George Floyd Justice In Policing Act, which passed the House, would have restricted the defense, but negotiations over a compromise bill petered out earlier this year.
"By shielding police officers from accountability, qualified immunity encourages more police violence against Black and Brown people," said Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, a co-sponsor of a standalone Senate bill that would end qualified immunity, on Twitter after Monday's ruling.

Japanese manufacturer FutureModel has announced its newest product, the tiny NichePhone-S that offers the bare minimum in terms of features. The new product is certainly a unique offering, weighing in at just 38g and its overall size being comparable to that of a credit card, though it is slightly thicker at 6.5mm. Despite this, the device is technically a smartphone, but its use is restricted to the more basic features, with those who purchase the device being able to make calls, send texts and listen to music.
In terms of design, the device is reminiscent of a typical feature phone - the majority of the front panel is occupied by a dial pad and a small display sits above this. Spec wise, the previously mentioned ability to make calls and send texts is possible thanks to the included 3G connectivity. Speaking of connectivity, FutureModel has also equipped the device with Bluetooth, which will allow those who purchase the handset to use both wireless headsets and earphones. Also included is a microphone that permits the recording of voice memos. In the battery department, the Japanese company has included a 550mAh battery inside which, according to the official website, can provide up to 72 hours of battery life, or 3 hours of continuous talking. Interestingly, though, the device itself is too thin to include a micro-USB port, so the NichePhone-S comes with a magnetic adapter in the box, which connects to the rear panel of the device in order to charge it. Lastly, looking at the software of the device, FutureModel has pre-installed Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a version that is over 5 years old. Despite this, though, it's unclear what limitations have been applied to the software, but it's unlikely any apps will be available for download.
The NichePhone-S will be available this Friday, November 10, in two simple colors: Black and White. Those interested in getting their hands on the handset will have to fork out the equivalent of $88, a pretty high price tag when the limitations the device imposes are included, not to mention the other Android devices that are available for a similar price tag. Nonetheless, for those looking for a handset that offers the bare minimum, and a few added extras, the NichePhone-S may well be a pretty good contender.


TOKYO — Subaru Corp. has named North America boss Tomomi Nakamura its new global president, tapping a marketing veteran who oversaw rampant sales growth in the U.S.
Nakamura, 58, assumes the duties from Yasuyuki Yoshinaga in June, pending approval at the Japanese company's annual shareholders' meeting, Subaru said on Friday. Yoshinaga, 63, who concurrently serves as president and CEO, will keep the CEO title while stepping up as chairman.
Nakamura's tenure in the U.S. was marked by rapidly rising production and a string of record sales years. But he returns to headquarters in Japan facing new challenges on the wider stage.
In the home market, Subaru is grappling with the aftermath of a vehicle inspection scandal, and overseas it must contend with the overall U.S. market slowdown and feeble sales in China.
Meanwhile, the niche-sized all-wheel-drive specialist must also adapt to the industry's seismic shift toward electrification, autonomous driving and new fields such as artificial intelligence.
As president, Nakamura will tackle such daily operations, while Yoshinaga focuses on bigger themes, including improving corporate compliance in the wake of the inspection missteps.
Nakamura was appointed chairman and CEO of Subaru of America in April 2014. In that role, he oversaw operations in the U.S. and Canada, including production.
As part of the management shuffle, Tom Doll will be promoted to CEO of Subaru of America, from his current role as chief operating officer, Nakamura said in Tokyo. The SOA chair will remain vacant. Jinya Shoji, currently corporate vice president for global marketing, will be dispatched to work under Doll as a local executive vice president, Nakamura said.
Nakamura said his time in America will help him run worldwide operations.
Yoshinaga caps a seven-year run as president in which Subaru leapt from record to record thanks to hot U.S. sales of such stalwart nameplates as the Outback crossover.
Yoshinaga was named president and chief operating officer in June 2011 and added the CEO title a year later. Nakamura also takes the COO title in addition to the presidency.
A three-year streak of record global operating profit and net income came to an end only last March, after earnings were dented by foreign exchange losses and rising costs. Costs climbed partly to invest in increased production capacity in the U.S. and Japan to feed booming demand.
Subaru is now on pace for a 10th-straight year of record U.S. retail sales. The arrival this year of the new Ascent seven-seat SUV will buoy sales by taking Subaru into a new segment.
But slowing overall demand in the U.S. also poses risks because Subaru's portfolio is heavily skewed toward it. The U.S. accounts for about 65 percent of the automaker's global volume.
Among Nakamura's tasks will be balancing Subaru's global portfolio, especially by devising a strategy for China. Subaru is a microscopic player in the world's biggest auto market, where it lacks the local production base needed to duck steep tariffs on imported vehicles.
Chairman Jun Kondo, who oversees the China Project Office, said earlier this year his task force was "considering how to survive there." Kondo retires under the management shuffle.
In Japan, Subaru is trying to win back trust after disclosing late last year that uncertified workers had for decades carried out tests of new cars for the domestic market.
The inspection trouble led Subaru recall 417,288 vehicles in Japan, including the Toyota 86 sporty coupe, which is manufactured by Subaru.
Subaru is also investigating reports it fudged fuel economy data in the home market.
Subaru's sales in Japan tumbled 22 percent in January, for third-straight month of decline.
The department will promote companywide efforts to improve customer trust, Subaru said.
Subaru will also establish an independent Compliance Office to strengthen the company's efforts to comply with laws and regulations. Yoshinaga will oversee both initiatives.
Subaru is still compiling a final report on the fuel economy probe, Yoshinaga said.
"According to our internal report, we take it that data fudging did take place, although it does not affect the quality of our cars," he said. The full findings will be released later, he added.
Nakamura holds a law-degree from Japan's prestigious Keio University. He joined Fuji Heavy Industries in 1982 and worked in various sales, marketing and planning roles. Fuji Heavy changed its name to Subaru last year to improve brand recognition of its leading products.
Nakamura, who counts horse racing among his favorite pastimes, is married with a son and daughter. But during his time overseas, he also missed another family member.

Q: SQL - How do I delete two entities referencing each other So I have two entities referencing each other, parent, child.
child must be deleted if parent is deleted, but cannot be deleted while there's still a parent referencing it.
These are the two constraints I've been given:
ALTER TABLE public.parent
  ADD CONSTRAINT parent__child_id__fk
    FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES child(id)
    ON DELETE CASCADE
;

ALTER TABLE public.child
  ADD CONSTRAINT child__parent_code__id__fk
    FOREIGN KEY (parent_code, id) REFERENCES parent(code, child_id)
      ON UPDATE CASCADE
      ON DELETE RESTRICT
    DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
;

I now want to delete a parent (and the corresponding child) ...
SQL Error [23503]:
ERROR: update or delete on table "parent" violates foreign key constraint
"child__parent_code__id__fk" on table "child"

    Detail: Key (code, child_id)=(A0B7EBF6-3_DELETE_ME, 10)
            is still referenced from table "child".

Whoop-dee-doo ...
Yes, it's referenced by the bloody entry I'm trying to delete...
(which I know because there's a unique constraint on parent.code)
Looks like I CAN delete the entry if I set the child's fk to ON DELETE CASCADE, but that doesn't seem to be what the guy breathing down my neck wants, which is "if you delete a parent delete its child, too, if you delete a child that has a parent, DON'T".
How do I achieve this?

A: Delete from both tables in one statement using a CTE:
WITH x AS (
    DELETE FROM parent
    WHERE ...
    RETURNING id
)
DELETE FROM child
WHERE ...;

The two women had sat for most of the morning and early afternoon on the sofa, smoking and drinking whisky in paper cups.
"Well, my sister – she moves in the world like a volcano woman, as if she were on fire, you know. She moves in the same way that she speaks, and this defines her fake persona, her fake personality. She has no character. She has no norms. She has no values, and she's also bitten by alcoholism. She drinks wine as if it were Pepsi. Like I said, she's a volcano woman when you meet her for the first time. You don't see her truth. It's like an invisible bird-shield around her, and no one can come into contact with her because of that. There was this one time she slept with this American from Oregon. He was just passing through Johannesburg. She thought he was the one. She thought that he was going to save her.
They took off their clothes in the dark of the bedroom. Clarissa unhooked her brassiere before pulling her sweater up over her head. Miranda was wearing a long skirt that touched her ankles and a blouse tucked into it. Clarissa was feeling nervous, in a way, as if she had never done this before. As if she had never kissed a woman before. Even in the dark, she could feel Miranda's eyes on her, watching her slow and careful movements. When Miranda kissed Clarissa, it felt as if a river came rushing over her – a waterfall. Clarissa's lips were warm and tasted of the whisky that had helped both women overcome their shyness and inhibitions. Miranda kissed Clarissa's neck. Miranda's mouth was dry. The spark was lit. They could not go back to just sitting on the sofa, drinking whisky, smoking menthols and pretending that they didn't have a history.
"I didn't use that word, "fear". I used the word "happy".
"Yes, Ming, you make me happy." Clarissa smiled in the dark as Miranda stroked her bottom lip with a finger.

Best of luck to Utah in their coaching search. They are a team with a lot of talent, and I hope they are able to put it together and reach the tournament this coming year.
The stronger the teams, the stronger the conference.

Is any of the staff returning? I know Coach Rich put together a great staff, with alot of experience. His record does not tell the whole story. They do not have many "easy" games. They travel to play tough OOC games, and their home games are usually against top 20 teams coming for a 2nd game after playing BYU. Good luck to both parties involved.

10/8 - Fire and... apple maggots?
Sometimes you burn to reduce fuel loads. Sometimes you burn to improve forest health. Sometimes, however, you burn to… kill maggots?
This use is near and dear to my heart, as today, the Stink Bugs that have begun to infect Michigan rear their ugly heads once again. I found myself wondering, as I watched one of the oblong monsters lumber up my front door: can fire help with this? I couldn't find anything online about using fire to help with stink bugs, but it doesn't seem too far-fetched. Maybe in the right areas, burning could actually help reduce loading of their preferred habitats and food sources. Of course, they do eat an awful lot of crops and fruits… maybe fire isn't the best tool for fighting stink bugs.
In any case, check out this article about one interesting use of prescribed fire - stopping the spread of some especially dangerous apple-eating maggots.

Trans-Siberian Railway: Spanning the length of Russia

Trans-Siberian Railway: Linking East and West. Source: Elena Proshina
Moscow is considering plans to develop the Trans-Siberian Railway as an international transport corridor linking Europe and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
The Trans-Siberian Railway is featured in the "Guinness Book of Records"for three categories: total length, number of stations, and construction time. At the beginning of the 20th century, the railway line provided a reliable transport service that linked the European and Asian parts of Russia.
The Trans-Siberian Railway was built in several stages and consisted of six sections. The first stage — the Ussuriysk Railway from Vladivostok to Khabarovsk — is 477 miles long.
It was completed and put into operation six years after the first stone was laid in Vladivostok in 1891. The West Siberian Railway from Chelyabinsk to the River Ob — the second stage — was 800 miles long and built in a record time of four years. The third section — the Mid-Siberian Railway from the River Ob to Irkutsk — which was 1,137 miles long, was built in the six years between 1893 and 1899.
Building the third section was significantly more difficult from an engineering point of view, as the flat land gave way to mountainous territory.
Trans-Siberian in numbers
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway on the planet, effectively spanning 5,771 miles. A tourist traveling on the Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Vladivostok will cross 10 time zones. The railway passes through 12 regions, five territories, two republics, one autonomous region and one okrug area, as well as 87 towns and cities. It cost 1.5 billion gold rubles to build at the beginning of the 20th century — enough money in those days, for example, to buy 750,000 modern cars.
This is where the builders had their first encounter with a natural phenomenon of which little had previously been known: permafrost.
Construction of the 161-mile-long Circum-Baikal Railway was postponed because of technical difficulties. In 1900, a ferry service for trains began operating on a 45-mile route across Lake Baikal: The icebreakers Baikaland Angara carried trains across the icy river for five years.
In the winter of 1903–1904, around 28 miles of rail track were laid straight onto the ice, and wagons and steam locomotives were hauled across it by horses. The inefficiency of this method of crossing the lake was keenly felt, however, during the Russo-Japanese War. Thus, in 1902 construction of the Circum-Baikal Railway began.
The lake shore between the Port Baikal and Kultuk stations was a rocky ridge (50 miles long) rising a quarter-mile above the lake. Almost nine miles of retaining walls were built along the route, along with 445 steel bridges, six stone viaducts, 47 rockfall protection galleries and 39 tunnels totaling 4.5 miles in length.
There was nothing in the world that could match this section in terms of the cost, scale and difficulty of its construction. Nevertheless, it was completed in just two years and put into operation a year ahead of schedule.
In May 1908, the final decision was made to build the last stage of the Trans-Siberian — the Amur Railway. This is where improved track with gravel ballast was first constructed. It is also where the world's first tunnel through permafrost was built, with an insulating layer between the rock and the lining of the tunnel.
Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway across Russia was officially completed in 1916, during World War I, when the 1,353-mile-long Amur Railway was brought into operation.

The Trans-Siberian did not simply link Siberia and the Far East with the rest of Russia: it created a string of new towns and settlements in the most remote parts of the country. Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway is becoming one of the main tourist routes in Russia, along with Lake Baikal, Moscow, St. Petersburg and the "Golden Ring" of historic cities.
The biggest cities along the railway are Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow. The new system for buying tickets makes it possible to take a hop-on-hop-off tour and spend a few days in each of these cities.
Vladimir. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Ancient Vladimir sits on the banks of the River Klyazma, receiving and sending travelers to and from Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. It is of special interest to tourists who want to know about the "Golden Ring." The city is a historic settlement, with an even layout and the classical architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. However, Vladimir is also substantially diluted with typical infrastructure from the Soviet era.
Historically, Vladimir was a market town, since it was a trade route on the way to Nizhny Novgorod. Today, Vladimir is quite an industrial city. There are tractor plants, metalworking facilities, food factories, light industry, and much more. Despite all the industry, the city is still remarkably green and home to many parks.
Of most historical significance is, naturally, Vladimir's Kremlin. It is not a complex of buildings enclosed by walls: it makes up an entire region of the city, extending from the Golden Gate to Rozhdestvensky (Christmas) Monastery. In 1164, Vladimir was surrounded by a protective wall and a moat. The Golden Gate, built by Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, is currently listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
Novosibirsk. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Novosibirsk is the principal transportation hub on the Trans-Siberian Railway. The city was built on the Siberian Steppes at the beginning of the 20th century and thrived during the Stalin era.
Novosibirsk's historic city centre is a collection of assorted buildings that almost all have the Soviet look about them.
As well as the large quantities of beautiful girls and snow, Novosibirsk has a colossal opera theatre with top performers, enormous railway yards, a beautiful bridge across the River Ob, a well-known zoo, a monument to engineering achievement in Czarist-era Russia, the University, and Akademgorodok (a huge education-based and scientific suburb with laboratories, research centres, residential areas and excellent infrastructure).
The main thing to bear in mind when heading to Novosibirsk in the winter is that Siberians certainly do feel the cold, but they dress warmly – even when it's uncomfortable or unfashionable.
Krasnoyarsk. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Krasnoyarsk is one of the major stops for travelers on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Indeed, it is a good place to break up the journey: it can be a peaceful place in which to pass a day or two, or you can take part in extreme sports.
One of the principal draws of this Siberian city is the Krasnoyarsk Stolby Nature Preserve and Bobrovy Log ski resort. It would be quite easy to pass a whole day in Krasnoyarsk just walking around in the nature preserve. At the top of the mountain you can have lunch in splendour, looking out across the tops of thousands of Siberian pine trees below.
The city of Krasnoyarsk itself is also quite a pleasant place to simply wander around. There are several coffee shops in the main part of town that serve decent snacks – which makes up for the lack of Internet connectivity. There is also a range of restaurants serving a variety of international food: the obligatory sushi place is augmented in Krasnoyarsk by Chinese and Indian cafes.
Yekaterinburg. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Yekaterinburg, 33 hours east of Moscow by train and beyond the Ural Mountains, is located on the cusp of Europe and Asia. The imaginary dividing-line cuts through 12 very real obelisks that mark the border along the Urals Mountains; one of these obelisks is located 10.5 miles from Yekaterinburg.
During the Soviet era, Yekaterinburg (then known as Sverdlovsk) was a centre of industry. Today it is probably best known as the place where the last czar, Nicholas II, and his family and servants met their end at the hands of the Bolsheviks in 1918. Ipatiev house, where the deed was done, was torn down in 1977 on the orders of Boris Yeltsin.
Yekaterinburg feels like a mixture of Russia's two biggest cities: it has the hustle and bustle of Moscow, combined with the pre-revolutionary architecture, water and green spaces of St Petersburg. This side of the Urals, city authorities seem to have made more of an effort to preserve the city's wooden houses, which nestle side-by-side with towers and two-storey buildings, giving the city a different feel than many others in Russia.
Irkutsk. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Irkutsk is one of the great travel-hubs on the Trans-Siberian route and the point from which it is possible to explore the great Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and was also voted as one of Russia's Seven Wonders. It's not hard to see why.
Buses or minivans to Olkhon Island on the western shore of Lake Baikal depart from right outside the main railway station in Irkutsk. The houses on the island are wooden and battered, and it is clear that tourism is the main source of income here. Trinkets from (relatively) nearby China, leather goods and carvings from the lake and from Irkutsk are on sale in the few tourist shops. Traditional Russian clothing such as "valenki" – felt boots designed for the harsh winters – is also popular.
Vladivostok. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Residents of the European part of Russia consider Vladivostok the end of the country, but natives of Vladivostok see the city as the beginning – after all, the sun rises in the East. When construction began on the Trans-Siberian Railway, the foundation was laid in Vladivostok.
When Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev visited Vladivostok in 1959, following a trip to the United States, he declared that the then-closed city would be a "Soviet San Francisco."
The city makes up for any inconveniences by offering countless opportunities to see the region's varied landscape from pretty amazing views, which are available from almost every rooftop. The most popular place to see the city, however, is the viewing platform by the funicular railway on Orlinaya Hill.
The Soviet place names, a number of remaining pre-revolutionary buildings, the 21st-century bridges, and the right-hand-drive vehicles in left-hand traffic all create an unusual colour that is impossible to find in any other Russian city.
Khabarovsk. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
With a total of 6.7 million people, Khabarovsk is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world. The city consistently ranks as having one of the best business environments in Russia in various polls, and this is illustrated by the cafes and shopping malls that dot its city centre. Here you can see skyscrapers under construction at several locations, as well as women carefully watering flowers that hang at the tops of lamp-posts from a special elevated machine.
Perm. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
Perm is located on the River Kama– the fifth largest river in Europe after the Volga, the Danube, the Ural and the Dnieper.
There are many places to go in the city, including the Art-Perm Gallery, with its abundance of exhibitions, and the "Perm-36" Museum of the History of Political Repression. The latter was formerly a camp and training school for those convicted of especially dangerous crimes against the state.
There are also different types of theatre in Perm – The Perm Theatre of Opera and Ballet, The Perm Drama Theatre and the Youth Theatre. The famous theatre figure Sergei Diaghilev spent his childhood and adolescence in Perm. Diaghilev's "Russian Seasons" ("Les Ballets Russes") – introduced in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century – fixed the names of Russian ballet dancers in the history of world culture.
Nizhny Novgorod. Source: Lori Images/Legion Media
In previous centuries, Nizhny Novgorod was an important economic, transportation and cultural centre of Russia, located at the strategic confluence of the rivers Oka and Volga. Much of the city downtown was built in the Russian Revival and Stalin Empire architectural styles.
The art museum in Nizhny Novgorod was opened to the public in 1896. It has an extraordinary gallery which has hosted more than 12,000 exhibits, as well as an enormous collection of works by Russian artists such as Viktor Vasnetsov, Karl Briullov and Ivan Shishkin. However, what makes this gallery extremely important is the amazing collection of Russian avant-garde art, with works by Kazimir Malevich and Wassily Kandinsky.
The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is the central part of the ancient town and occupies a relatively small area on a hill. Originally, the Kremlin wall was about 1.5 miles long – around 600 feet shorter than that of the Moscow Kremlin. Eleven of the original 13 towers survive today.

Rippin Limited, a Scottish structural steel manufacturer, has been placed in administration after citing cash flow strains as the reason for its downfall.
Located in Cowdenbeath, Fife and in operation since 1974, the company provides services across the whole of Scotland and the north of England and caters specifically to the British construction industry.
While its main services were in steelwork, Rippin also supplied and installed metal decking and stairways. The majority of its construction services were in the new-build sector, and the company also worked to provide specialist complex extensions to existing buildings.
Due to the administration, however, the company has stopped trading, which has affected its staff members in consequence. The business recently reported financial strains due to customers refusing payments following contractual disputes, as well as a steep decline in orders from clients.
Big Four auditors KPMG LLP have been called in, and partners Blair Nimmo and Alistair McAlinden have been appointed as joint administrators who will be working with all relevant staff members to conclude Rippin's operations.
The administrators are also on the hunt for interested individuals to make an offer for the assets in the form of stock and plant equipment.
Nimmo, who is also the global head of restructuring at KPMG, said: "In light of challenging trading conditions and significant cash flow difficulties, Rippin was unable to continue trading.
"We will be working with all the affected employees and the relevant government agencies to ensure the full range of support is available. We will also be exploring the possibility of securing a sale of the company's assets and would encourage any interested parties to contact us as soon as possible."

Dutchess Outreach seeks volunteers, new food sources>
Community, People & Places
UlsterCorps matches volunteers with organizations in need
by Sharyn Flanagan/ November 25, 2015 /Comments closed
Volunteer work is sometimes perceived as something that only retired people have time to do. And there's certainly some truth to that, as the demands of making a living take up a lot of our waking hours. But even the most stressed of us will usually admit that when there is something that we really want to do, we'll manage somehow to make that time.
But it may not be a lot of time. And that's where UlsterCorps comes in. The countywide resource that serves as a central hub to connect volunteers with the local agencies that need them fills a unique niche. In addition to the long-term opportunities toward which they steer people, there are single-day activities.
"If somebody doesn't want to make a long-term commitment, but has a few hours on a weekend, they can go to our website and see if there's something that calls to them," says Beth McLendon, co-founder and director of UlsterCorps. "People have busy lives, so maybe they can't do it all the time; but we try to make it easy for people who might have time once a month or once a week. Hopefully that works out well, and it makes them want to volunteer again. But if it doesn't, they can try something a little different."
And for the person who wants to volunteer but doesn't know quite what it is that he or she wants to do, "UlsterCorps is that place to get started," says McLendon. She and several others came up with the idea six years ago. "A few of us started this in 2009, when we had some friends who had never volunteered before. They were really frustrated; struggling to find a way to volunteer. They spent hours researching something, and then the agency they called didn't call them back. The agencies are all so busy and the staffs are working so hard, they don't always have time to do outreach."
Seeing the need to make volunteering more accessible, McLendon and co-founders Nancy Pompeo and Rik Flynn met with Michael Berg, director of Family of Woodstock, as well as the heads of other agencies, and asked, "Do you think there's a need for this?" The response was positive, and in the years since, UlsterCorps has brought together thousands of people with local organizations that provide food, clothing, shelter, emergency services, literacy training, mentoring, child and elder care, animal welfare and more.
UlsterCorps encourages people of all ages to consider the possibilities, and that includes youthful volunteers and families. "We believe that if young people start volunteering at an early age, they'll continue for the rest of their lives," McLendon says. "And many of our volunteers in this community are retired, and they do amazing things, and that's fantastic; but so many places – food pantries, for example – need younger, strong bodies, too, to lift the heavy boxes and do the physical work."
One of the projects that has been most rewarding for UlsterCorps is its collaboration with Family and the Rondout Valley Growers' Association, she says. "We've been gleaning at local farms all summer long for our food pantry program, so that people get fresh local produce that would otherwise have been composted. The volunteers love that project; it's such an immediate, fulfilling thing and you get exercise, you're working on these beautiful farms, and it's a great thing to do on the weekend. It's an easy way to get involved, and it's really fun."
One recent group of 29 students from SUNY-New Paltz volunteered at Liberty View Farm in Clintondale recently. They were among 400 students who volunteered for "Make a Difference Day" at different sites around the county. "They picked out food for pantries, and some of the apples will be made into applesauce for Thanksgiving meals at the soup kitchens," McLendon says. "The students enjoyed it, and it gets the word out about the businesses, too; we love to support local businesses that do so much for the community."
The UlsterCorps website – www.ulstercorps.org – has an interactive map that makes it easy to zero in on volunteer opportunities close to home. The organization's Facebook page also has information. "Or they can call us and we can just talk about what they're interested in, and where in the county they live. We can find something that's a match for them."
First-time volunteers might be surprised at the range of other opportunities available. If a person just wants to help out at a fundraising festival for a few hours, or a 5K run, there are those things. There are educational positions at museums and cultural centers and mentoring activities in technology and literacy. UlsterCorps has collaborated with Harvesting a Lifetime, coordinating volunteers to record the stories of more than 70 seniors from around the county.
Some opportunities involve preparing for future need. A few Red Cross Shelter training sessions are coming up. "When a disaster strikes, there are so many people that want to help, but they don't have any training," McLendon says. "If you think you'd want to volunteer at a shelter, get the training now, so that you can be part of that response team when disaster strikes."
The Red Cross training is free of charge, as is the Family of Woodstock hotline training that McLendon calls "one of the most amazing trainings" in which she has she participated. "It teaches you communication and listening skills and so many other things that will be useful to you in your own personal life, as well."
Family will be starting a new text-counseling hotline soon, she adds, which will mean some upcoming training sessions for that. Family has had a telephone hotline for 45 years now, but teenagers today sometimes feel more comfortable texting than phoning; so if they're in trouble or need to reach out, the idea is to provide communication on their terms.
UlsterCorps is founded on the conviction that volunteerism is central to sustaining healthy, resilient communities utilizing the diverse talents, interests and abilities of its residents. "And we really believe that the more responsibility you give volunteers, the more they will step up," McLendon says. "The less engaged volunteers are, the more likely they are to step away. Agencies that invest in their volunteers are more likely to find people that are willing to make a commitment and be that incredibly valuable resource."

For the third season in-a-row, Leo Nunez has successfully saved games for the Florida Marlins. Even though being a relatively consistent closer isn't exactly the easiest asset to come by, Nunez, who could make as much as $6.5 million through arbitration in the off-season, will still most likely get cut loose. How so? Because the Marlins have the talented Steve Cishek making league minimum.
Despite collecting 33 saves this season (and 89 total since 2009), Nunez's underlying statistics are pretty replaceable, and are, at best, on-par with Cishek's. Nunez has posted a 4.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 2.94 K/BB in 2011, but has also gotten a little lucky (.288 BABIP), while completely losing his ability to get groundballs (from 54% last season to 31.4%) and letting up a few too many homeruns (9.0%). In comparison, Cishek has hurled a 3.18 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 3.13 K/BB, with a very sustainable .310 BABIP, supportive 3.15 xFIP, and elite groundball (52%) and HR/FB (2.7%) rates.
Unlike Cishek, who's fastball and slider are both well above average, Nunez only has one pitch (change-up) that stands out, but throws it just 28.4% of the time. In fact, Nunez throws his fastball 62.3% of the time, but it's only been worth -1.4 runs above average. While Chisek's fastball and slider aren't on-par with, say Jonny Venters, they're still worth a very respectable 2.9 and 3.8 runs above average, respectively. That's something Leo Nunez simply does not possess.
The only real red flag for Cishek is that he didn't completely dominate in the Minor Leagues. In 254 career innings, the righty owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 2.10 K/BB. The reliever's career 8.2 K/9 is closer-worthy, but his 3.9 BB/9 is a bit troublesome. Interestingly enough, Cishek hasn't endured control issues in the Major Leagues, sporting a solid 2.98 BB/9, and he's also striking out batters at a better rate (9.33 K/9) than he was in the Minors. Regardless of the differences, it's still a risk worth taking for the Marlins.
In an ideal world, the Marlins would retain Nunez with his inflated arbitration price-tag, but considering Hanley Ramirez , Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, and John Buck will combined see a $14.5 million spike (and Anibal Sanchez will get a hefty raise from his current $3.7 million), the Marlins will be forced to trim the fat. Luckily for the Marlins, $6.5 million for a closer isn't much for most other teams out there, so they will have no problem finding a trade partner. And just like in 2009 when they handed the "keys" to the inexperienced Nunez, giving 25 year-old Steve Cishek the closing gig next season will be an exciting, and rewarding experience.

Residential Ministry Program Director - Georgetown University's Office of Campus Ministry
Location: Washington, D.C.
Type: Full-time
Located in a historic neighborhood in the nation's capital, Georgetown offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, exciting ways to take advantage of Washington, D.C., and a commitment to social justice. Our community is a tight knit group of remarkable individuals interested in intellectual inquiry and making a difference in the world.
Guided by Georgetown's Catholic and Jesuit tradition, with its abiding commitment to interreligious collaboration, Campus Ministry equips students to lead lives of deeper meaning, belonging, and purpose.
The Residential Ministry Program Director supports this mission by managing and leading a multi-faith team of volunteer residential chaplains in the undergraduate residence halls and apartment/townhouse communities. In the spirit of the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (Latin phrase that translates as 'care for the entire person'), the Director supports and guides the work of residential chaplains in providing hospitality, pastoral support and opportunities for reflection for students of all religious and spiritual identities. Residential Ministry is a critical part of the university Safety Net case management system, and the Director works to ensure strong communication and coordination with colleagues in Campus Ministry, Residential Living and other key offices within Student Affairs. The Director manages the administrative and operational needs for Residential Ministry.
The Residential Ministry Program Director also serves as a residential chaplain and is required to live in a university residence. Evening and weekend hours are frequently required, as is serving in an after-hours on-call rotation.
Work Interactions
The Residential Ministry Program Director is a member of the Office of Campus Ministry and works in collaboration with other members. The Associate Director supervises 25-30 volunteer residential chaplains in consultation with colleagues in Campus Ministry, the Office of Student Outreach and Support, Residential Education, and the Jesuit Community rector.
Education: Master of Divinity or equivalent combination of graduate theological, ministerial and counseling education, training, and supervised ministry experience is required.
Experience: Candidates should have at least four years' relevant experience in ministerial work and management; strong interpersonal skills; excellent oral and written communication skills; and attention to detail.
Technical Qualifications or Specialized Certification: Clinical Pastoral Education, or similar supervised ministry training is required. The candidate must be proficient with Microsoft Word and Excel, email and basic web content management.
Other Skills: A strong understanding of both ministry and undergraduate residential environments, and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues of other religious traditions are required. Must be self-directed and able to manage projects, set priorities, and navigate complex situations, both pastoral and managerial.
Will require evening and weekend hours.
The Residential Ministry Program Director upholds the values and ideals of Georgetown University as a Catholic, Jesuit University and must be committed to promoting Georgetown's Catholic identity and Jesuit mission. Because the Program Director serves as a residential chaplain, they must be a member in good standing in their religious tradition.

After a full year of planning the day has finally come. It was time for us to set off on our long awaited overlanding holiday in Namibia and Botswana. This whole route was new to us, with the exception of Kalahari Rest in Kang and Senyati in Kasane, and we were very keen to see more of Namibia and the Caprivi region.
We managed to leave home at 04:00 in the morning, which were on point with our planning and we traveled to the Skilpadshek border post via Rustenburg and the N4. We made great time that morning and we go to the border post by 09:30. Crossing the border posts was a breeze and it took us less than an hour to clear both the South African and Botswana sides. From there it was smooth traveling via the A2 all the way to Kang and Kalahari Rest.
We had a 3 hour delay because of the race and the traffic conditions in Jwaneng so by the time we reached Kalahari Rest in Kang we were very ready to settle in for the night with some good food and a cold beer. We opted to stay over in a chalet instead of camping as we knew it would have been a long day of traveling. The chalet was very neat and comfortable but with a strange bathroom set-up – the bathroom was separated from the bedroom area with a short wall which didn't afford you a lot of privacy. Other than that we were quite happy with our accommodations and we enjoyed dinner at their restaurant. The food was tasty but a bit expensive in the end. We also had breakfast there the next morning before we set off to Namibia and the Buitepos border post.
On our way to the border we found a very gruesome but fascinating scene next the road. A wake of vultures was served a free roadkill breakfast and biy, did they go to town on the carcass! The border crossing into Namibia also went very quickly and efficiently so it wasn't long before we were on our way to Windhoek. We saw quite a lot of wild animals next to the road so I think this road might be quite dangerous to travel on at night. It was an awesome tar road all the way to Windhoek from Kang and arrived at the TransKalahari Inn in Windhoek by 13:30 that afternoon. After unhitching the van we set off to Windhoek to find something to eat and to check out Windhoek's capital. There's a lot of history in Windhoek with beautiful buildings and houses, and the German influence is still very much present. After enjoying dinner back at the Inn, we went to bed early as we were knackered after two long days of traveling.

Whether you want to find new customers or empower an existing team, successful business interactions require a willingness to signal trust and trustworthiness.
Kent Grayson, an associate professor of marketing at the Kellogg School, explains how institutions use professional organizations—from medical boards to legal associations—to signal that they can be trusted. But what happens in less established industries? A trek to Everest sheds some light.
Sanjay Khosla, an adjunct professor of executive education at the Kellogg School and former president, developing markets for Kraft Foods, describes what happened when a product development team was entrusted with a "blank check" to market Oreos in China.
The Trust Project is a unique body of knowledge, connecting scholars and executives from diverse backgrounds to share ideas, research, and actionable insights in a series of videos for research and management.

Massageolie is een olie die gebruikt wordt voor massage. De massageolie wordt dan gebruikt als glijmiddel zodat er geen pijnlijke stroefheid optreedt. Vaak bestaat de olie uit een basisolie en etherische oliën. Sommige leveranciers voegen parfumoliën toe aan een massageolie.

Een goede basisolie wordt niet snel door de huid opgenomen, kleeft niet, heeft geen indringende geur en heeft uiteraard het juiste evenwicht tussen glijden en wegglijden (dus de juiste viscositeit/stroperigheid).

Van plantaardige oorsprong zijn oliën die worden gewonnen uit:
 amandel (wordt goed door de huid opgenomen en laat geen filmlaag achter, voor de meeste huidtypes geschikt. Gebruikt wordt de zoete amandelolie, de olie van de bittere amandel is giftig doordat hij blauwzuur bevat)
 abrikozenpit (zeer geschikt voor gezichtmassages)
 perzikpit (een heel zachte olie)
 sesam (erg stabiel door hoog gehalte aan antioxidanten)
 jojoba (is eigenlijk een vloeibare was, wordt niet ranzig en verzorgt goed, geschikt voor een droge en/of gevoelige huid)
 druivenpit (wordt minder snel door de huid opgenomen dan amandelolie, wordt veel in Engeland gebruikt, relatief goedkoop, geschikt voor een vette huid)
 avocado (voor een droge huid)
 zonnebloemolie (wordt ook vaak genoemd als goedkope basis voor "doe-het-zelf"-olie). Geschikt voor een vette huid)
 soja (voor een vette huid)
 Macadamianoot (verzorgend om huidcellen te herstellen)

De beste olie wordt uit de gekoelde eerste koude persing gewonnen. Indien bij het persen niet alle olie wordt gewonnen, worden tussen de persingen de pulp verwarmd en/of warm water toegevoegd. De kwaliteit neemt dan af. Bij de persing dient gekoeld te worden zodat de bij de persing ontstane warmte de sporenelementen en voedingsstoffen niet afbreekt. Olie kan ook door raffinage worden gewonnen. Dit is het oplossen (extractie) van de olie met behulp van een chemische stof, die dan naderhand wordt verwijderd.

Daarnaast zijn er oliën van minerale oorsprong te koop, zoals paraffineolie en vaseline. Het nadeel zou kunnen zijn dat ze de huid afdekken en soms de huidtalg oplossen, waardoor de huid zijn vet verliest en er andere neveneffecten optreden (ook wel paraffineverslaving genoemd).

Aan massageolie kan etherische olie of parfumolie worden toegevoegd, meestal in een verdunning van 2%, met een maximum van 8%. Een etherische olie mag nooit onverdund op de huid worden aangebracht, met uitzondering van de oliën lavendel en tea tree, deze etherische oliën zijn veilig voor direct contact op de huid. Het verschil tussen een etherische olie en een parfumolie is dat een etherische olie direct van een plant gewonnen wordt en door middel van stoomdistillatie een deel etherische olie en een deel hydrolaat uit voortkomt. Deze geur is ook vele malen sterker dan een parfumolie. Een parfumolie is in een fabriek gemaakt en is synthetisch samengesteld om een geur na te bootsen. In de prijs van de oliën zit daarom ook een fors verschil, evenals in de dosering.

Nadelen
Het gebruik van massageolie kan vlekken op kleding veroorzaken, vooral als er kleurstof is gebruikt. Massageolie kan allergische reacties opleveren, vooral als er parfumoliën zijn toegevoegd. Mensen met een notenallergie kunnen problemen krijgen met arachide, macadamianootolie, jojobaolie of amandelolie. Een allergische reactie op een massageolie is over het algemeen snel merkbaar wanneer zonder wrijving op de huid de huid rood wordt en/of er bultjes ontstaan. Jeuk is een van de signalen die aangeeft dat het gaat om een allergische reactie.

Verder tast massageolie rubber aan, en kan de werking van condooms tenietdoen.

Like us, you're probably a bit rubbish at taking free-kicks on FIFA 15. In FIFA 15, the free kick is not a difficult skill to learn but it does require practice. A tight-angle attempt involves a different approach from one that lies in front of the keeper. Also, a free kick from the left side should be tried differently than one from the right.
"If you are after free-kicks with a bit more showboating style and finesse, then we suggest that you go for the curling shot. These are most effective from the wider areas of the pitch, either from the left or right is doesn't really matter. If you're looking to curl the ball from the left side of the wall for example sake, then the first thing you must do is select a left-footed player to take on the challenge.
You'll then want to aim left by about the width of two or three players outside of the post. This will ensure that you will hit that all-important corner of the net, and keep the ball away from the goalkeepers reach. It will only take about one and a half bars of the power gauge to nail this. If you go for more power, then the accuracy and curve of the FK will be compromised and the technique won't work.
It's also important to remember that you'll need a player that possesses amazing curve in their stats, and reasonable power and FK accuracy. The last aspect to remember about the curled FK is to hold the left-stick right after the power gauge has stopped to help the ball curve into the corner and around the wall. For the right side, just simple do the opposite to the above advice.
You can always go to the practice arena to improve your overall free-kicks and try all of the methods out there."
