Statelessness index
The Statelessness Index is a comparative tool that assesses European countries' law, policy and practice on the protection of stateless people and the prevention and reduction of statelessness, against international norms and good practice. It is a tool created for civil society, government, researchers, the media and other interested individuals. The Index was developed and is maintained by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS). The Index allows users to quickly understand which areas of law, policy and practice can be improved by states and which can be looked to as examples of good practice in addressing statelessness. The Index is the first to provide comprehensive and accessible comparative analysis of European countries' efforts to address statelessness. The Index assesses how countries in Europe perform against international norms and good practice for the protection of stateless people and the prevention and reduction of statelessness. A country's performance is assessed against a set of benchmarks drawn from international and regional human rights standards, soft law, relevant reports, and consultation with experts. The index covers 18 countries for the period 2017-2019. It consists of 23 indicators sorted in 5 strands: International and regional instruments; Statelessness Population Data Availability; Statelessness Determination and Status; Detention; Prevention and Reduction. The country data is gathered through a detailed survey, structured around the themes and subthemes. The surveys are completed by country experts (researchers, lawyers, NGOs and other civil society actors), referenced with links to sources, reviewed by a second country expert, and then returned to the ENS Secretariat for analysis.

Citizenship law indicators (CITLAW)
CITLAW indicators address citizenship laws (acquisition and loss of citizenship) in Europe. Basic indicator scores are calculated on the basis of a list of substantive and procedural requirements for each mode of acquisition or loss using both additive and weighting formulas. CITLAW indicators are also aggregated at different levels in order to analyse more general features of citizenship laws. The 6 highest level CITLAW indicators that are calculated using all 45 basic indicators are: ius sanguinis, ius soli, residence-based ordinary naturalisation, naturalisation on specific grounds, voluntary renunciation and withdrawal/lapse. CITLAW indicators have been calculated for 42 European states for 2011 and 2016. Coding of CITLAW indicators is based on an assessment of legal provisions in national citizenship laws.
Dashboard of indicators for measuring policy and institutional coherence for migration and development (PICMD)
The dashboard of indicators for measuring policy and institutional coherence for migration and development (PICMD) is a user-friendly tool that has been developed by the KNOMAD Thematic Working Group on Policy and Institutional Coherence. The dashboard aims to measure the extent to which public policies and institutional arrangements are coherent with international best practices to minimise the risks and maximise the development gains of migration, and can be used by domestic policy makers and other stakeholders such as researchers, civil society and international organisations. For policy makers, the dashboard should serve as a particularly useful tool during the policy formulation, evaluation and adjustment process. Indicators are organised around the following five policy dimensions: promote institutional coherence, reduce the costs of migration, protect the rights of migrants and their family, promote reintegration, enhance the development impact of migration. There are two distinct dashboards – one from the perspective of countries of origin and the other from the perspective of countries of destination – with separate indicators except in the area of institutional coherence. Any given country can be considered both a country of origin and a country of destination. The Thematic Working Group is currently operationalising the dashboard in 15 pilot countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cabo Verde, Germany, Jamaica, Kenya, Moldova, Morocco, the Philippines, Portugal, the Netherlands, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Citizenship Implementation indicators (CITIMP)
EUDO Citizenship Implementation Indicators measure on a 0 to 1 scale the formal aspects of naturalisation procedures: promotion activities, documentation requirements, administrative discretion, bureaucratic procedures, and review and appeal options. CITIMP indicators allow for comparisons of the specific steps in the procedure across countries. CITIMP indicators have been calculated for 35 European states, as well as for three German federal provinces. CITIMP indicators are an output of the research project 'Access to Citizenship and its Impact on Immigrant Integration (ACIT). = The project was financially supported by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals, administered by DG Home Affairs. CITIMP indicators were computed on the grounds of self-collected information: questionnaires on implementation of citizenship policies were filled out by country experts.

Making migration work. A study of the developmental impact of return migration in Romania and Republic of Moldova
Principal investigator Romana Careja (Principal Investigator ), Hans-Jürgen Andreß (Principal Investigator )
In spite of the recognized relevance of migrants' resources for development, especially local development, there is relatively little research on how the Central and Eastern European governments capitalize on the emigrants' resources and how emigrants themselves respond to the sending countries' policies. Thepresent project aims to fill this gap in hwo steps. The pre-study focuses on policies and collects basic information on emigrants. It will result into a comprehensive description of the policy field targeting the labour emigrants and will provide the information needed for preparing the main study, a field study focusing on emigrants.The pre-study is guided by two questions: 1. Do the sending countries encourage entrepreneurial behaviours of emigrants? and 2. Does the state itself mobilize the emigrants' resources towards projects with developmental effects at local, regional and national level? The answer to these questions is sought for through an in-depth survey and analysis of the policies and programmes which influence the way migrants use the resources acquired while working abroad and of the programmes through which the states attract emigrants' resources in developmental projects in Romania and Moldova. The main study will collect quantitative and qualitative information from the emigrants themselves, and will investigate whether and how the emigrants react to the policies put forward by the sending countries.
Dumbrava's Citizenship Policy Index
Dumbrava's Citizenship Policy Index, which builds on Howard,s citizenship policy index, analyses the citizenship regulations (citizenship laws and additional relevant legislation) in sixteen postcommunist countries in two periods of time (in the 1990s and 2000s). The index focuses on theregulations regarding the acquisition of citizenship- at birth (ius soli, ius sanguinis and overlapping) and through regular naturalization (without facilitations). In discussing the naturalization rules, a numeric scale has been designed to measure the "restrictive"-ness of citizenship rules (0-20). In order to measure the restrictiveness of the naturalization regulations, the present codification took into consideration five categories of requirements: residence (4 points), integration language and society/constitution (2+2 points), personal record criminal and political (2+2 points), loyalty- dual citizenship and oath of allegiance (3+1 points) and welfare income and medical situation (2+2 points). The index represents the sum of the indicators.
Informal Child Migration in Europe
Principal investigator Elisabeth L'orange Fürst ()
Prosjektet ønsket i utgangspunktet å undersøke hvordan omsorg blir forstått og praktisert i de ulike landene og i de spesielle situasjonene som transnasjonal migrasjon representerer. Vi var interessert i forståelsen til de involverte migrerende selv, men også de ulike lands og myndigheters syn og politikk. Ikke minst gjelder dette deres oppfatninger av "barnets beste" slik dette blir formulert i barnekonvensjonen. Forstås omsorg som noe som bør gis av foreldre i en kjernefamilie modell som norm? Kan andre typer slektskapsformer og normer gi andre praksiser og forståelser? Hvordan løser migrantene selv omsorgsspørsmål i praksis?

Review: I Am Love
June 23, 2010 at 4:25 pm by Ray Pride
June 23, 2010 June 23, 2010 Filed under:
As Milan is dusted with late winter snow, the first pulsations of music under the credits of Sicilian director Luca Guadagnino's sumptuous, scrumptious "I Am Love" (Io Sono L'Amore)—a passage from "Nixon in China," like the rest of the score from John Adams' back catalogue of operas (ransacked profitably as Michael Nyman's was for "Man on Wire")—you cannot but sigh at a melodramatic confidence that would be nothing more than arrogance and swagger if it were not so generous in its visual and aural delights. The atmospheric European art film lives. Shot in Italian, it's a decade-long project for the director and Tilda Swinton. A generational story of a wealthy Russian family with textiles woven into their history, transplanted to Italy, has evoked comparisons to Visconti's late, magisterial examinations of his own class, but I swoon to a velocity and lush texture that suggests the style of Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Conformist" or late Douglas Sirk, with a tincture of Antoni-ennui. (He's a greedy and knowing student.) The film itself teases allusions to Visconti's "The Leopard," while Swinton and Guadagnino describe the film as "sense-ational" and "Visconti on acid." As for the porcelain Swinton, who is photogenic even when hoping not to be? All is Tilda, Tilda, Tilda. "I Am Love" is a director-as-God-who-likes-to-decorate movie, to the good, as we move from restaurants and formal dinners to intergenerational affairs. Fabrics drape. Looms weave. Patterns furl. The camera swirls, tracking, eddying, high-hatting. The flow is soothing, but also ominous. Food takes its place at the table: voluptuous, sensual, even sexual. Liqueurs lit from beneath. Traditional fish stew. And Swinton has her sweet way with a perfectly plated prawn. It's a visual feast. Suffocating beauty: Sì, Maestro, grazie, posso avere di più? Thank you, may we have some more? With Gabriele Ferzetti, Marisa Berenson, Pippo Delbono. 119m. (Ray Pride)
"I Am Love" opens Friday at Landmark Century.

MY FIRST IT LESSON

Today we started our work on google spreadsheets. We learnt basic skills such as finding products and using formulas. I think that i could have worked a bit better if i tried to use my brain and logic rather than ask someone. However I think I was good at finding shortcuts and easier ways to do things. We also started our main work which is making a shopping system. I think that I did well and coped with the new challenge well however i felt that I didn't understand VLOOKUP that well and as a result i had a hard time doing the homework which was to make an item searcher. In the end I did it but with the help of someone who understood it better. Next time i will ask more questions so when it comes to the Homework i can do it quicker and easier.

EXCLUSIVE POLL: Just as Many African-Americans Say They'd Consider Voting for Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden
56% of African-Americans said they'd "consider voting for" Sanders in 2020 — a statistical tie with the 54% who said the same about Biden.
by Cameron Joseph
WASHINGTON — Just as many African-Americans say they'd consider voting for Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden, according to new a VICE News-Ipsos Poll, suggesting Sanders might not have as much of a problem wooing black voters if he's the Democratic nominee as some have assumed.
Fully 56% of African-Americans said they'd "consider voting for" Sanders in 2020 — a statistical tie with the 54% who said the same about former Vice President Joe Biden and significantly higher than any other candidate.
Only 23% of African-Americans said they wouldn't consider voting for Sanders, about the same number as the 24% who said they wouldn't consider voting for Biden.
Sanders does even better relative to Biden and the rest of the field among Hispanics: 47% say they'd consider voting for Sanders, while 37% said they'd consider voting for Biden. More Hispanics say they wouldn't consider voting for Biden (37%) than wouldn't vote for Sanders (31%).
READ: VICE News to broadcast the 2020 Brown & Black Democratic Presidential Forum
"Despite frequently being described as a 'socialist' or 'too liberal', Bernie Sanders has as many, if not more, minority Americans considering voting for him as any other candidate," said Ipsos Public Affairs Vice President Chris Jackson.
These numbers come from an online poll conducted by Ipsos for VICE News that includes extensive questions about what issues African-Americans and Hispanic Americans care about the most ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Other major findings from our poll as well as the full polling memo will be released Jan. 15.
VICE News is presenting the 2020 Iowa Brown & Black Forum, the nation's oldest nonpartisan presidential forum dedicated exclusively to addressing issues facing communities of color, on Monday, Jan. 20 — Martin Luther King Day.
If Sanders does become the nominee, a real possibility, his turnout of black and Hispanic voters will play a crucial role in whether he can defeat Trump.
These results also matter because Democratic voters are prioritizing electability over just about every other issue — and a big part of voters' consideration on that question is who could do best to turn out nonwhite voters. If African-Americans had turned out in the same numbers in 2016 as they did in 2012, Trump would not have been elected.
READ: Bernie Sanders is now leading Iowa according to the best poll in the game
Biden has made electability a central, explicit argument in his campaign message, asserting that he's the best candidate to recreate President Obama's coalition of young, moderate, and nonwhite voters to win the White House and defeat Trump.
Sanders has made minority outreach a central focus of his 2020 campaign after struggling to make inroads with black and Hispanic voters during the 2016 primaries.
His failure to win over more non-white voters, especially early on in the primaries, was a big reason Hillary Clinton won the nomination. And Sanders has been battling a lingering perception that he's not as well-suited to excite minority voters as Biden. If he can convince more voters that he has as good a chance of beating Trump as anyone else in the field, it would help his case in a big way with primary voters.
Right now, history looks like it's repeating itself, at least in the primary. Biden led Sanders by 48%-20% among Democratic-leaning African-American voters in an Ipsos poll for the Washington Post released last week. But that doesn't mean this pattern would hold if he's the nominee.
Recent national polling finds little difference in how Biden and Sanders fare against Trump in head-to-head matchups of all registered voters: Biden leads Trump by four points in RealClearPolitics' polling average, while Sanders leads Trump by three points.
A few caveats: This poll is of all Americans — a group that's far different from the likely primary voters who will decide who wins the Democratic nomination. Sanders' (and Biden's) relative popularity among this broad cross-section of Americans may be as much a test of name identification as anything since the two remain by far the best-known Democrats in the field. Even in looking ahead to the general election, there's a big difference between Americans, registered voters, and likely voters.
And while our poll's question is worded to focus on the general election, some respondents may have taken it as a question of who they'd consider voting for in the primary. That could increase the number of Democrats saying they wouldn't vote for Democratic candidates, even if they would be willing to back those candidates against Trump in the general election.
This poll suggests that whoever the candidate is, black voters are fired up to turn out against the president. When asked what the biggest reason for them to vote in 2020 was, 52% of African-Americans said "to vote against President Trump," while only 37% of Americans overall said defeating Trump was their top reason to vote, compared with 38% of Hispanics.
Biden and Sanders are the best-positioned candidates in the Democratic field with both Hispanics and African-Americans at this point in the race. Among African-Americans, Sen. Elizabeth Warren comes in next with 39% saying they'd consider her vs. 29% who said they wouldn't. Michael Bloomberg is at 27% to 37%. Pete Buttigieg is in bad shape with African-Americans at 17% to 42% on the same question.
Warren's numbers among Hispanics are relatively better: 33% say they'd consider voting for her to 38% who say they wouldn't. No other candidate tops 30% on that question with Hispanic voters.
President Trump, unsurprisingly, struggles mightily with both groups. Just 9% of African-Americans and 25% of Hispanics say they'd consider voting for him, with 79% of African-Americans and 62% of Hispanics saying they wouldn't.
This poll was conducted by Ipsos from January 8-10, 2020, on behalf of VICE Media. For this survey, a sample of roughly 2,013 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii were interviewed online in English and Spanish. The sample includes 784 white respondents, 585 African-American respondents, and 577 Hispanic respondents.
Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online non-probability polls. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval, which in this case is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for all respondents, 4.0 percentage points for white respondents, 4.6 percentage points for African American respondents, and 4.7 percentage points for Hispanic respondents.

U-Multirank zooms in on international focus of study disciplines
According to the results of a pioneering analysis released earlier this month by U-Multirank, business studies offer students the strongest international orientation. To identify the most internationally-oriented study subjects, the team behind the multi-dimensional and user-driven global university ranking project analysed the performance of different programmes on its "international orientation of bachelor/master programmes" indicator. The indicator measures four aspects of internationalisation: whether joint or dual degree programmes are available; whether students spend a part of their studies abroad; the share of students enrolled in international degrees or exchange programmes; and the proportion of international academic staff. The ranking of study subjects was determined by the share of study programmes in a particular discipline that received an 'A' rating for their international orientation.
The findings revealed that more than a quarter (26.6%) of business studies programmes received an 'A' rating, making the discipline the most internationally-oriented among those examined. Mechanical engineering scores similarly well on international exposure (23.8%), followed by electrical engineering (20.5%) and computer science (17.1%). Fewer 'A' ratings were received by programmes in physics (11.2%) and medicine (8.2%), with psychology scoring the lowest share of excellent ratings (6.9%) on this indicator.
The analysis is supported by U-Multirank's unique wealth of data, which include statistics on both incoming and outgoing student mobility. The findings show to what extent students in different disciplines might avail themselves of international opportunities and benefit from the international orientation of their institution.

LUMUT, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- The state government has urged all local authorities (PBT) to study and identify strategic locations, especially in urban areas as sites for My Perak House projects for the 40 per cent lowest income group (B40).
Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said the selection of strategic locations for the My Perak House projects would provide a more conducive environment as well as provide value added and economic spill-over for the surrounding area.
"We want the B40 group to have the opportunity to live in urban areas of focus with conducive conditions.
"However, home prices are still the same. Hence, I would like to recommend to all other districts to identify such locations so that we can add value to the buyers from the B40 group, "he said.
He said this at a press conference after the handover ceremony of the My Perak House keys to 50 recipients at Taman Mohd Wazir, Batu 10, Lekir here in conjunction with his two-day working visit to the Manjung district ending today.


How Do I Burn Belly Fat?
It seems like belly fat has such a strong foothold that no matter what we do, it won't go away. We feel like we have tried everything, and nothing works. "I thought I had tried everything, too. But what I discovered was, I hadn't even scratched the surface," says personal trainer and strength coach Susan Niebergall.
She goes on: "I wish I could have a magical series of specific exercises for you to do that will melt it all away, but the reality is that doesn't exist. Doing 100 crunches every night, or holding a plank for five minutes isn't going to do it." So what will burn that fat away? The formula for burning belly fat is the same formula for fat loss in general, so follow these six steps and you will see results.

PARLIAMENT POLITICS PRINCIPLES AND CHRIS HANI
When the Economic Freedom Fighters, led by Commander in Chief Julius Malema, disrupted the 2020 State of the Nation Address, they inadvertently exposed deception in the narrative that legitimizes Parliament. The EFF eventually walked out after their call for the removal of White Apartheid President FW de Klerk, failed to garner support from other political parties. Nothing in the public domain, since 13 February 2020, adequately demonstrates whether the EFF were driven by politics or principle. This short essay departs from the record of SONA 2020 and journeys through questionable aspects of the official explanation about how our Constitutional Democracy comes into existence.
In considering other truths that ground the deliberations of this essay, it is important to note first, that the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ms Thandi Modise (ANC) rose to the defense of FW de Klerk. Equally important is the support she received from ANC leaders in Parliament on the day. The FW de Klerk Foundation issued a press statement reiterating de Klerk's position within 24 hours of the State of the Nation Address.
It is only after the EFF protest stirred public memory of apartheid atrocities, that ANC leaders realised where public anger would impact most. They implored de Klerk to consider the voter fall-out they may have to face. The retraction that followed, with an apology, saw FW de Klerk finally acknowledge United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1761. The retraction statement read in part:
"It includes 'the crime of apartheid' as a crime against humanity and defines it as "inhumane acts …committed in the context of an institutional regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.
Considered with related notes in the history of South Africa, this essay examines Parliaments consensus against the efforts of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
UNCHALLENGED DOCUMENTED HISTORY
Honest historians reason "apartheid" within a continuum of European aggression that began with the colonisation of Afrika in the 17th Century through to Europe's Conference that was held in Berlin in 1884. The United States joined European nations in an unholy alliance that ruptured everything Afrikans understand as humane. They resolved to thieve both the land and personality of Afrikans. For Afrika, the most barbaric crimes against humanity can be found in documented evidence against the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The lineage of FW de Klerk, like Hendrik Verwoerd, can be traced back to Jan van Riebeeck who headed the first three conquering ships, Dromedaris, Rejiger and De Goede Hoop. They landed at the Cape from the Netherlands on 06 April 1652.
When the history of European cruelty is assessed by Afrikans, it becomes easy to understand why FW de Klerk, and his broader Dutch Settler Community, take exception to the UN resolution against apartheid. Understandably, they cannot comprehend why they were singled out. Afrika's archive is replete with evidence of unspeakable, inhumane atrocities, throughout the continent. APARTHEID, in implementation, was precisely the resolution of the Berlin Conference of 1884. The United Nations, had it chosen honesty, ought to have resolved that "COLONISATION was a crime against humanity."
PRISONER NELSON MANDELA and PRESIDENT FW de KLERK
FW de Klerk sat unmoved at SONA 2020 as truths about the violent White racist community were televised to the world. It never occurred to de Klerk, that, leaving of his own volition, may have salvaged what remnant of humanity he had left to justify his presence in Parliament. FW de Klerk and the ANC were aware of EFF plans before SONA. It is precisely this accord between the two, traced back to its origins, that exposes the fault lines in a Parliament that is explained as a legitimate progression of a negotiated settlement.
This essay draws from the fact that most historians set the date of the development of an accord between political prisoner Nelson Mandela and the apartheid regime, at or about 1985. Mandela and de Klerk though jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, on both their versions, cannot lay claim to have acted honestly nor magnanimously On both versions, their accord originates in secret discussions which, initiated by the apartheid regime, immediately casts a dark shadow of exclusion, that, with the passing of time and exposés reveals decades of fraudulent misrepresentation. Typically, less than a month before SONA 2020, Ms Barbara Hogan, a Senior White ANC Operative, added more to reveal the extent to which the ANC was infiltrated by the apartheid regime. Hogan was testifying at the inquiry into the 1982 death in detention of Neil Aggett. It is Hogan's second admission, examined with Roelf Meyer's earlier statement, that helps us understand the questionable relationship between the ANC and the apartheid regime. Hogan explained that, in 1977, the Black Consciousness Movement and its leaders such as Steve Biko were "the most visible and active opposition to the apartheid government." It was Hogan who described the BCM as "the pre-eminent Black political movement of that era".
The build-up to the first "democratic" election began in 1990 when print, radio and television, was fully controlled by White media owners and the apartheid regime. The deification of Nelson Mandela and promotion of the ANC as the foremost Black liberation movement was their agenda. Roelf Meyer, chief negotiator on behalf of the regime, is a liar who needs to legitimize the process that bought about our "constitutional democracy"
"Every level-headed South African knew that essentially the settlement will come from the government and the ANC. The one had the power and the other one had the majority support. We maintained a very close link with our principles. I reported to FW de Klerk and Cyril Ramaphosa reported to Mandela, but very much on the same basis, very close line, very hands on."
Considered against Meyer's dishonesty, that proposition, presented to Mandela alone, to this day marketed as a magnanimous political gesture, simply does not wash. Nothing explains why the apartheid regime could not have put that self-same proposal to all political prisoners in one sitting. Every political prisoner was incarcerated on Robben Island, because of one common revolutionary objective: 'to bring an end to apartheid'. Nobody understood that better than Mandela. The regime, on their own version, approached prisoner Mandela, with a view to 'bringing an end to apartheid'. Mandela was aware of all manner of divide and rule apartheid schemes. Nothing explains why prisoner Mandela did not immediately reject as inappropriate, an exclusionist approach that came from the regime. FW de Klerk sat unmoved in his seat and the ANC did not support the EFF because of an accord that originates in clandestine meetings, dating back thirty-five years.
CHRIS HANI: THE POINT OF NO RETURN
Janusz Walus and Clive Derby-Lewis admitted to conspiracy that led to the assassination of Chris Hani on 10th April 1993. At the time of his assassination Hani was the revered General Secretary of the South African Communist Party and his respected legacy as Chief of Staff for Umkhonto we Sizwe, though neglected since his assassination, is nevertheless adequately documented. By most credible accounts, Chris Hani was the natural successor to Nelson Mandela, within the arrangement that is marketed as a "negotiated settlement".
Clive Derby-Lewis, an archetypical descendant of the collective European mind that gathered at the Berlin Conference, remained firm in his beliefs until the day he died. Within the matrix of depravity and half-truths he brings to his last recorded interview, there is one aspect of his version that is proven by events over the past twenty six years, and especially, by the spectacle that played out at the State of the Nation Address. His contention that de Klerk's National Party, surreptitiously engineered a power sharing deal with the African National Congress, cannot be faulted.
The apartheid regime freed prisoner Mandela on 07 December 1988. Charged with the responsibility to bring other ANC leaders on board, he was provided a comfortable home on the grounds of Victor Verster Prison, to receive and consult with whomsoever he pleased. Unless and until we interpret these shady events for what they really were, we will remain diverted by Janusz Walus and Clive Derby-Lewis. We will never see, as clearly as Chris Hani did, that, those clandestine meetings had brought us to the point of no return.
WHAT KILLED CHRIS HANI?
At the time Chris Hani demanded that FW de Klerk be held accountable, he was head of the SACP and MK Chief of Staff. It is in this context that the ANC position at SONA 2020, raises suspicions. In proper construction, Chris Hani preceded the EFF, ANC and every other political party represented in Parliament since 27 April 1994. The decision to continue "negotiations" with the apartheid regime, after Hani's assassination, cannot be rationalized on the grounds we heard at his funeral and certainly not on revolutionary principles. This purportedly Democratic State does not come into being because of the revolutionary contribution of Chris Hani. It owes its existence to evidence of the machinations that Chris Hani had warned us about. A Parliament that speaks after the voice of Chris Hani has so been silenced, may one day have to account for crimes against humanity.
There exists amongst human beings, because they are human, a solidarity through which each shares responsibility for every injustice and every wrong committed in the world and especially for crimes that are committed in his presence or of which he cannot be ignorant. If I do not do whatever I can to prevent them, I am an accomplice in them. If I have not risked my life in order to prevent the murder of other men, if I have stood silent, I feel guilty in a sense that cannot in any adequate fashion be understood juridically or politically or morally. That I am still alive after such things have been done weighs on me as a guilt that cannot be expiated. Somewhere in the heart of human relations, an absolute command imposes itself: in case of criminal attack or of living conditions that threaten physical being, accept life for all together or not at all.

Klopp gives measured take on Reds' 6-0 win over Blackburn Rovers
Anfield Index > Liverpool FC News > Klopp gives measured take on Reds' 6-0 win over Blackburn Rovers
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp was happy with the run-out his side got against Blackburn Rovers in their behind-closed-doors friendly at Anfield on Thursday.
Klopp's men won 6-0 in the fitness-focused game with Championship side Blackburn. The goals were scored by Sadio Mané, Naby Keita, Takumi Minamino, Joël Matip, Ki-Jana Hoever and youngster Leighton Clarkson.
Liverpool scored three goals in each half in a fixture Klopp used not only to test the fitness of his first-team squad but also to adjust to the new protocols in place for COVID-19.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Klopp discussed the benefits Liverpool had attained from the game:
"It was not only a workout; for us, it was a really important test and we wanted the players to go for 45 minutes [but] because of a few little issues we couldn't do that, so we didn't have enough 'first-team players', I would say, so that's why we decided to let three players go for 60 minutes. That's OK. It looked really good, obviously. It looked really good, pretty much from the beginning. Yes, you have to get used again to playing against a deep-defending side and stuff like this. Blackburn had a playing build-up from time to time, so we could work on the high press as well. So [the] counter-press was brilliant, the football was really good, the goals were nice and it was a really good afternoon. I am really thankful that Blackburn came here and we could do that, so I wish them all the best."
The Liverpool boss was asked about different arrangements now necessary due to the Coronavirus and stopping the spread of same:
"Yes, everything is different. The boys now go home and they didn't have a shower. It was raining before the game, so that would have been funny if there had been really hard rain and then you drive home in your own car and you didn't have a shower. Our meeting was here in the boardroom. We want to have it like this [and] we can organise it differently at Anfield when we play here, but we have no clue how it'll be at away games and we need to create as awkward-as-possible situations just to not be surprised. We want to focus completely on football and whatever happens around the games, we just take it like it is."
Apparently, neither Mohamed Salah nor Andy Robertson took part in Thursday's win but it may have just been a precaution.

After a tense finish Watford were declared the winners of the 2017 EACF AC Handicap League and will go forward in 2018 to represent the region in the national event "The Secretary's Shield".
Played at the Hunstanton Club, this year's regional finalists Watford, Norwich and Ipswich met to decide who would be the overall winner of the league. The match started under rainy and downcast conditions but at least the lawns ran well and the rain clouds gradually dispersed leaving a basically dry day although a little windy at times.
The morning session which consisted of three doubles proved interesting in that the Norwich team fielded a -2.5 and a -1 player, whilst Ipswich fielded two younger members playing off 18 and 16 and both still at school. As expected both Norwich pairings teamed up with higher handicap players and both recorded wins, whilst in the remaining game Watford ran home comfortable winners against Ipswich. So at lunch Norwich led the field with 2 wins to Watford's 1, with Ipswich yet to score.
The afternoon's play consisted of singles games, and the two young players Albie Willett and Eden Rogers came into their own playing with panache and without any fear, usefully using their bisques, both recording wins to bring Ipswich back into contention, whilst play appeared even in the remaining games. So at the end of the day honours were shared with each team finishing even on three wins, leaving the Manager to scour the Regulations to break the deadlock.
The Norwich team were quickly eliminated being the only side to have a game go to time, which meant that Watford and Ipswich proceeded to a shootout using the "Hemming Tie Brake", which determined Watford the winner scoring 5 points to Ipswich's 4.
At the end of the day's play Nick Harris and the Manager Terrey Sparks, both appointed C.A. Handicappers, decided after conferring to reduce the handicaps of the young Ipswich players by two each, as they had clearly demonstrated by their play that a reduction was due. Thus: Albie Willett 16 to 14, Eden Rogers 18 to 16. Meanwhile (in spite of their team victory!) John Smallbone also increased from 4 to 4½ and Adam Huby from 7 to 8.
If still no winner can be determined then the team with the fewest wins on time will be the winner.
If the contest is still undecided, then a peg shoot-out will be arranged by the Manager to determine the winner.

I'm surprised no accidental screenshots were taken when trying to authorize Apple Pay on iPhone X, since the Sleep/Wake button placement can be tricky as the volume up button is placed just across it (pressing both buttons takes a screenshot on iPhone X).
Just last week, Apple aired an iPhone X which also highlighted Face ID and how easy it is to unlock your phone with the facial recognition feature. This ad has a somewhat similar theme to it.

We hope the end of the summer finds you well. There has been a lot of activity at CEBMa recently, so we are excited to share details of that with you in our October newsletter.
Why Do I Receive This Newsletter?
You have received this newsletter because you are a friend or member of CEBMa, our discussion forum, or the EBMgt Collaborative, or you have participated in one of our workshops or seminars, or shown an interest in EBP.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of this newsletter.
In our last newsletter we announced the launch of a freely accessible online database of evidence summaries (systematic reviews, meta-analyses and rapid evidence assessments). The database is now online, and you can have a sneak preview here: www.cebma-library.org.
Unfortunately, evidence summaries are not widely available, and, although CEBMa will try to gather all systematic reviews and meta-analyses relevant to the practice of management, this will only be a fraction of what's out there.
This year's Evidence-Based Management Event at the AOM Annual in Philadelphia on August 2 was very well attended. About 60 academics, teachers and practitioners from all over the world joined our event to share knowledge and ideas through presentations, poster sessions and breakout discussions.
Presentations were given by Maxime Loose from the Flemish Government ("Evidence-Based Management, This Is How We Do It"), Eric Barends from CEBMa ("Evidence-Based Consulting: Rapid Evidence Assessments for Large Organisations") and Neil Walshe from USFA ("Faculty Reactions – and Resistance- to the Teaching of Evidence-Based Management"). In addition 17 posters were presented.
This summer a group of young and ambitious executive DBAs and PhDs launched "The Evidence-Based Manager Blog" to promote dialogue between scholars and practitioners and to present research findings on what works in the field of management.
So why did this group start this blog? What are they trying to achieve? To find out, we spoke with Kuan Collins, the unofficial spokesperson of the group.
Change The World: Teach Evidence-Based Practice!
In September the journal Academy of Management Learning and Education (AMLE) published a special edition on teaching evidence-based practice. Guest editors were Denise Rouseau and Sara Rynes, both members of CEBMa's academic board, and Eric Barends, CEBMa's Managing Director.
In our last newsletter email we informed you about the development of CEBMa's online learning modules to help students and practitioners to develop the skills necessary to follow evidence-based practice (EBP). These modules will also be available to teachers who wish to teach EBP.
We are happy to announce that we completed the first module. This first module is a general introduction to EBP and covers its basic principles and common misconceptions. Although the module is developed by a team from CEBMa alongside software engineers and learning scientists from Carnegie Mellon, we need practitioners, students and teachers to try it out and give us feedback.
CEBMa is proud to announce the publication of the booklet "Evidence-Based Management, The Basic Principles". The booklet is written by Denise Rousseau, Rob Briner and Eric Barends and covers basic questions such as "What is EBP?", "What counts as evidence?", "Why do we need EBP?", "What sources of evidence should be considered?", "Why do we have to critically appraise evidence?" and "What is the evidence for EBP?". In addition, common misconceptions are discussed.
If you would like to have a printed version, please get in touch with us.
Rob Briner has recently given several presentations to senior police officers on the Strategic Command Course and the Executive Leadership Programme run by the UK's College of Policing. The idea of evidence-based policing has been developing for some time in several countries including the UK and the US (https://cebcp.org/evidence-based-policing/). Police training, development and everyday practice is increasingly adopting an evidence-based approach. Rob's talks focused on the general principles of evidence-based practice and why practitioners including the police who want to become more evidence-based must also be managed in an evidence-based way.
In medicine the concept of evidence-based practice was introduced in the early 1990s, but in management it was not until 2006 that the first book on this topic – Bob Sutton and Jeffrey Pfeffer's "Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management" – was published. This book was the starting point for a large number of publications on the added value of findings from scientific research for the daily practice of managers and business leaders. So, why did the authors write this book, and what was its impact? To find out, we spoke with Jeffrey Pfeffer.

Tales of disgraceful behaviour; Christmas Cheer and suicide
1844 – Disgraceful Conduct in the Bodenham Wesleyan Chapel
During a Sunday evening service, some "ignorant or wanton" person outside, broke the window behind the minister causing some considerable mayhem.
The minister was hit on the head by flying glass, and some women near to the pulpit were also struck, although fortunately they had their backs to the window at the time.
If the culprits were caught, they would be served a penalty of £40, a huge amount in those days, or if they could not pay, a long term of imprisonment.
1844 – Accidental Drowing at Bodenham
Thomas Norgrove fell into the river Lugg near to Bodenham Church and drowned.
1859 – Christmas Cheer at Butchers in Bodenham
According to the Hereford Times:
"Messrs. Daniel and Walker, Butchers of Bodenham, who have for several years past at the festive season of Christmas, spared no pains in providing an abundant supply of the good things of this life, have again this year displayed such a show of meat which makes no mean appearance in any town in the kingdom. In the shop of Mr. Walker were one excellent cow, weighting 11 stone per quarter, fed by Mr. Hodges of Amberly; a splendid four year old heifer fed by Mr. Hayes of Burghope; four fine sheep and two wethers, fed by Mr. George Powell; two ewes fed by Mr. Jones of Rowberry and Mr. Rudge of Marden, and a prime porker.
In the shop of Mr. Daniel was a splendid cow weighing 18 stone per quarter fed by Mr. Jones of Rowberry Farm, Bodenham; two very fine sheep, a very large bacon and a first rate porker.
1863 – Opening of new School at Bodenham
On 14th July 1863, the village rejoiced as the new school was opened and were full of hope for the future of their children, summed up as follows:
"Now he is nothing more than a lad with unkempt locks, clumsy gait and ignorant look, and yet some day the fire of intense intelligence may be seen in his eye; his words of eloquence burst forth like the water of a copious fountain, and he add honour to the village that saw his birth, and the school where he first started in the pathway of learning".
The Earlier School at Bodenham
30 years earlier, John Arkwright had donated the Warehouse, the house near the bridge over the Lugg, rent free for a school room, and it was a huge improvement on what went before. However, the building was so close to the river that it was always cold and damp; in fact in 1852 the floods invaded the school room and water was several feet deep.
It was also considered that the school room was not large enough and the Vicar, the Rev. H. Arkwright vowed to create a bigger and better school. Although he donated the land, the villagers were initially a little backward in trying to raise funds for the building work, but Bazaars and donations by the landowners soon raised enough money to enable work to be carried out.
The new School takes Shape
The architect was F. Kempson of Hereford, and Mr. Mason of Hereford was the builder; the schoolroom had a fine open timber roof with a lovely window and a bell turret.
The doors and benches were made of varnished red pine, and there were two large fire places with huge stone mantelpieces.
The whole building was declared to be beautiful.
1899 – Suicide of a Tailor at Bodenham
John Weaver, a Tailor from Bodenham, had become very depressed about ongoing ill health, and was found floating in the River Lugg having apparently decided to end his life.
John had no children, but left a wife.
1903 – Tragic Drowning of Child at Bodenham
Thomas Allright Went was nearly 5 and was the son of John William Went a Blacksmith of Bodenham.
On 27th August, Thomas was playing with other children and his elder brother on a plank bridge over the river, when he slipped and fell in. The children raced to get help, but the body was not found until the following Monday.

Name That Tune: Courtenay Vandiver Pereira

Sign in to buzz me about Name That Tune
Courtenay Vandiver Pereira, professional cellist and founder of House of Cello, attended university in New England but found her way back to Houston where she grew up. (Photo: Shannon Langman Photography)
This week's Name That Tune is brought to you by Courtenay Vandiver Pereira, professional cellist and member of ROCO. She attended high school at HSPVA and college in New England. Now she finds herself back in Houston, making music and training up the next generation of cellists. Read on for excerpts from our interview and watch her video to see if you can name this tune.
Profession: Professional cellist
Instrument: Cello
How did you get started in music?
I started when I was 5, and I was inspired by a Houston Symphony concert I went to during the Halloween season. You were invited to dress up! So my parents took us and I dressed up as a little black kitty-cat.
At the Symphony, they were playing a piece called Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. Basically, the piece features the different instruments as different animals. Each instrument sounds like the different characteristics and qualities of an animal. It's a really cool piece. The cello is the swan at the end. And when I heard it, I turned to me parents and I said "I want that one!" It sounds cheesy, but that is totally what happened! And so I grew up in Houston. I went to the High School of the Performing and Visual Arts and then went to Boston for my undergrad.
What was your experience like as an undergraduate cello student?
I have a twin who plays violin. We were always together. So, the summer after our junior year, we went to a camp in New Mexico and then drove across the country with my father to check out schools. You can imagine us in a minivan driving from New Mexico all the way up to the east coast! But we did it. There was something about Boston and the New England Conservatory, we just knew we wanted to be there. It was great! It was super competitive, but both my sister and I were fortunate enough to get in. Everyone was kind and lovely, but still competitive. So it was the best of both worlds, really.
What was your journey like after graduation?
After I graduated with my bachelor's and master's degrees, I started a chamber orchestra in Boston called A Far Cry with some of my friends. And I did that for a long time. It's a string chamber orchestra. And then I had been away from my family for so long, I ended up taking a sabbatical. But during that sabbatical, I was a public school teacher in Fort Bend ISD. I taught almost 300 string students. I had a great rookie year. And I ended up staying in town, and slowly but surely, getting reconnecting in Houston. I connected with Alecia and began playing with ROCO.
What motivated you to start A Far Cry in Boston?
I was dreaming. At the time, I was on an Amtrak between tour stops. We were headed to another city to play another concert. And we started dreaming about starting our own orchestra and starting our own jobs. We began brainstorming people. It was important to us to find good musicians with good hearts. Every single person we put on the list ended up joining. We were doing both artistic and administration, so we really needed to work well together.
What did you learn from starting A Far Cry and what did you learn from being a teacher?
It's funny you ask that because I've actually started a new project here in Houston called House of Cello. It's to train and raise up the future generation, but we are family oriented. For the cellists who are in House of Cello, we meet on Mondays to train and then talk about professional development too. All my experiences have come together to help me develop House of Cello.
For me, you must think in terms of legacy and multiplication. I want to share my experiences, so maybe the hard lessons you went through without mentorship, you can save someone from walking through that alone.
The way most programs work is you don't get much professional development. You are in this cocooned bubble. You can excel and do well in your lessons and recitals, but you have no professional development skills. No one has taught you how to build a resume or how to book gigs. With the cellists I work with in House of Cello, we work on these things. Even the younger ones have a resume and have played gigs around town. I care about the legacy I'm leaving and bring up the next generation to be successful.

Editor's Pick: Into The Darkest Corner By Elizabeth Haynes
We were thrilled to have the opportunity of reading one of the most sensational British suspense novels of the last 3-4 years titled Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. Elizabeth is a police intelligence analyst who started writing fiction in 2006 with the annual challenge of National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) and the encouragement of the creative writing courses at West Dean College. She lives in a village near Maidstone, Kent, with her husband and son. Into the Darkest Corner is her first novel. This book won the 1st place in Amazon UK book of the year ranking.
A Brief Summary:
Catherine Bailey has been enjoying the single life long enough to know a catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic and spontaneous, Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each in turn falls under his spell.
But what begins as flattering attentiveness and passionate sex turns into raging jealousy, and Catherine soon learns there is a darker side to Lee. His increasingly erratic, controlling behavior becomes frightening, but no one believes her when she shares her fears. Increasingly isolated and driven into the darkest corner of her world, a desperate Catherine plans a meticulous escape.
Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine—now Cathy—compulsively checks the locks and doors in her apartment, trusting no one. But when an attractive upstairs neighbor, Stuart, comes into her life, Cathy dares to hope that happiness and love may still be possible . . . until she receives a phone call informing her of Lee's impending release. Soon after, Cathy thinks she catches a glimpse of the former best friend who testified against her in the trial; she begins to return home to find objects subtly rearranged in her apartment, one of Lee's old tricks. Convinced she is back in her former lover's sights, Cathy prepares to wrestle with the demons of her past for the last time.
Our Take:
Elizabeth Haynes, without a doubt, is going to be one of the big names in the suspense genre…
This gripping psychological thriller, unlike other suspense novels, focuses on the crippling aspects of abuse. The main characters in the story are fully developed and in each chapter the reader goes back and forth between happy Catherine and crippled Cathy. Although this at times was a bit confusing, we loved the wise use of such technique which made the story very cinematic. The story is very fast-paced, and while the plot was not the most original out there, the book was very engaging.

Maxwell last played a Test against Bangladesh in 2017, after he had compiled a maiden Test hundred against India in Ranchi.
Miscommunication between Trevor Hohns and Glenn Maxwell seemed to have created some problem.
Glenn Maxwell has responded to his latest Test snub as former Australian player Rob Quiney unloaded on the selectors for their treatment of him, saying there must be an ulterior motive to keeping him out of the team than just form. Also, Hohns said the players are free to make up their mind.
"Glenn is crystal clear from me and the selectors, what he needs to do to get back in the Test team". "There have been some reports about personality".
"He is crystal clear what he has to do, and that's important that he knows that and that I know that as the coach and one of the selectors, and all the conjecture about it, that's all part of the noise".
Langer says he has no knowledge of Maxwell getting any board from the top bosses.
Maxwell has a better average in the limited-overs format.
But Maxwell, who has previously expressed his disappointment at being restricted in how much first-class cricket he can play each home summer due to white-ball commitments, will take a new path this year in a bid to enhance his Ashes claims.
Selectors also kept faith with their pace attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, with veteran Peter Siddle also included.National selector Trevor Hohns said "there is no doubt the India series produced some disappointing results" and change was needed, after four Tests characterised by the failure of any Australian batsmen to score a century.
Justin Langer, who was sitting and listening to all such talks from the reporter, reacted fumingly.
Langer, arguably showing the strain of a taxing month in which he and his team copped widespread criticism amid a 2-1 series loss to India, asked the reporter twice "are you certain that's what happened?" then three times "did it happen?" regarding the county directive.
"I think when there was a lot of the "good bloke" chat ... being in the group that wasn't picked to go over to the UAE and I wasn't in the Australia A stuff I suppose people start to ask why that certain player is (overlooked)", Maxwell told cricket.com.au's The Unplayable Podcast. Langer told the journalist.
"I've got zero knowledge of that ... careless whispers, eh?"
Pressed again if he was aware of it happening, Langer slammed the suggestions "careless whispers" before offering an apology after getting riled up.

BlackBerry Manufacturer Looking to Jump Ship
by Brian P. Rubin 9 years ago 2 min read
There are two kinds of stories in tech: the huge successes, and the monumental failures. BlackBerry—once Research in Motion, or RIM—was once the former, and is now decidedly the latter. A post on AllThingsD today reports that BlackBerry's manufacturing partner, Jabil Circuit, recently revealed in an analyst call that it's looking to end its partnership with the former smartphone king.
Jabil's CEO Mark Mondello had this to day during the call:
"We are faced with a strong possibility of disengaging with BlackBerry. Our team has worked diligently over the past few days to comprehend the recently announced changes. […] We're in discussions right now on how we're going to wind down the relationship."
Those "recently announced changes" Mondello's referring, of course, to this week's news that BlackBerry was going to be acquired by private equity firm Fairfax Financial, taking the whole company private. Now, it's important to note that Mondello's pronouncement isn't quite "we are separating from BlackBerry," but that they're looking into it. That said, it'd be tough to argue that Jabil will somehow stick with the ailing smartphone company.
And that's not the only bad news to hit BlackBerry. According to Reuters, T-Mobile stores are going to stop carrying BlackBerry handsets in its retail locations. That's because the majority of BlackBerry buyers—what few of them are left—are businesses that order the phones directly and don't bother heading to stores to pick them out. There will be display models available for the time being, but T-Mobile will send them directly to customers.
Ultimately, this is all pretty bad news for BlackBerry, but it's far from the death knell. The fact that the company's been acquired is a decent enough sign. The loss of its manufacturing partner hurts, but it isn't as though there aren't other manufacturing firms out there. BlackBerry's new financial overlords may be able to negotiate a new contract with a new company as it reworks its strategy going forward.
But then the ultimate question remains: what is that strategy? Will it stay with its current proprietary operating system? Or will BlackBerry go the way of Android? Or even Windows Mobile? That last one's doubtful considering that Windows Mobile and BlackBerry OS are basically in the basement of market share. Maybe Canonical will swoop in and convince BlackBerry to go Ubuntu Mobile!
One thing is clear right now: anything's got to be better than what it's doing. Expect to see some major shakeups soon…that is, if BlackBerry still exists through the end of the year.
