With Halloween, and Thanksgiving right around the corner, its an easy time to get distracted. To keep you focused, we found these six different "productivity hacks" to help both you and your employees get more done during the holiday lead-up.
1. Inspire your workers to get a "full night's rest" each evening – and get one yourself, too.
2. Eat bananas, and other healthy foods, regularly – including during work hours.
3. Using multiple computer monitors at once, which has been proven to increase productivity significantly.
4. Put plants in your cubicles and office space; they boost creativity levels.
5. Control the temperature as much as possible; it's getting colder outside, it doesn't need to inside as well.
6. Try to limit use of email to predetermined time periods or intervals.
Remember, staying productive is a science – it can be influenced and created, through other details and factors.
What are your small business productivity hacks? Tell us in the comments below.


Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Country singer Lindsay Ell sat down with Us Weekly to talk about recording John Mayer's Continuum album and other musical artists that inspire her.
While Mayer hasn't heard a sneak preview yet, Ell is eager for him to listen to it someday. "I met John Mayer last year at a meet and greet in Minneapolis and I was so nervous. I didn't want to be the creepy fan who comes up and goes into this whole long story about how I re-recorded Continuum, so we just talked guitar for a little bit and I said, 'Thank you' and then I got out of there," she admits. "I hope that he comes across it on his own and thinks it's cool," she adds.
Ell will be opening Sugarland's Still The Same Tour beginning on May 4 in Durant, Oklahoma.

Quality education is a major concern in Prince George's County where many middle-class families continue to send their children to private schools. The County's public school district is ranked second from the bottom, or twenty-third out of twenty-four in the State of Maryland. Between 2007 and 2010, its high school graduation rates were consistently outpaced by neighboring jurisdictions in the state. During the 2011-2012 school year, only 44% of high school graduates were considered college or career ready. Furthermore, 135 of the County's 200 schools were found to contain a student population where 50% or more were eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
The County's economic competitiveness and appeal to future residents will hinge on public and private investment in and commitment to strengthening its public school system and reducing poverty.
Significant County Progress
While worrisome, these statistics obscure significant County progress. More than 27% of Prince George's County students earned a passing grade on advanced placement exams during the 2011 to 2012 school year. This was a 25% increase over the previous school year. Absenteeism declined, and more students took college-entrance exams.
Even greater gains have been recorded on County proficiency exams. In 2007, 53% of eighth-graders passed the Maryland School Assessment exams in reading, and 37.6% of the students were proficient in math. Five years later, the County reported double-digit gains in both categories-among the biggest in the State-with 69.6% of its eighth-graders proficient in reading and 50.4 proficient in math.

Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, NBA
Giannis Antetokounmpo won't rule out playing for the Chicago Bulls one day
Milwaukee Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo says that he wouldn't rule out playing for the Chicago Bulls — but then again, no NBA player would.
Chicago is one of the best basketball cities in the world — just ask Chicago Sky guard Allie Quigley.
Or, ask anyone who watched Michael Jordan, who is arguably the greatest player of all time, create a dynasty with the Chicago Bulls. Everyone seems to agree that there's an allure to Chicago basketball, even Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Recently, Antetokounmpo elaborated on how anyone in the NBA would consider playing for the Bulls — and if they said they wouldn't, they're lying.
"I think anybody you ask that question who plays basketball, if he said no, he would be a liar. It's a team that's won multiple championships, it's a team that one of the greatest players — if not the greatest player to ever play this game — played for, so it's a no-brainer. Everybody would love to play for Chicago. Down the line, you never know. You never know how life brings it. Maybe I'll play for Chicago. But right now, I'm committed to Milwaukee."
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo says "you never know" about playing for the Bulls
While it's one thing to imagine wearing Chicago red later down the line, Antetokounmpo will very much remain in Milwaukee green for the foreseeable future. He's only one year into a five-year, $228 million extension, which came after he led the Bucks to their 2021 Championship and won Finals MVP for himself.
Still, it's fascinating to hear this from a Bulls rival, especially when the towering Antetokounmpo has been a roadblock to hanging banners in United Center. As ESPN's Jamal Collier pointed out, the Bulls only have one win over the Bucks with Antetokounmpo on the court.
"Chicago's victory in Game 2 of [the Eastern Conference First Round] series is the only time the Bulls have beaten the Bucks with Antetokounmpo on the active roster since 2017," wrote Collier.
Although the Bulls have a lot to be excited about with the team they've built, adding someone like Antetokounmpo would take their game to the next level. If life leads Antetokounmpo to the Bulls, perhaps Chicago could hang back-to-back banners up once more.

Martha Sambe
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has reacted to Governor Kayode Fayemi's decision to dismiss over 2,000 workers, describing it as an act of wickedness against humanity.
Backstory: Fayemi, on Wednesday, nullified all appointments made after the governorship election of July 2018 by his predecessor, Ayodele Fayose, describing the appointments as having violated due process.
In a statement on Thursday, the PDP's state Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) government has proven to be an error in Ekiti.
The party said:
"We want people to ask the government whether those they sacked didn't purchase their application forms and got interviewed before their employment, or what other processes they didn't pass through except the one the APC government in the state deliberately denied them."
"It's on record that in the first regime of this same Governor Kayode Fayemi, plans were hatched to sack teachers and some workers which were vehemently resisted before he was booted out by vote in 2014."
"The sack of workers now is just the beginning of the actualization of his first term agenda, hence all Ekiti people should understand that the Armageddon government has arrived."
Bottom Line: The PDP's reaction is expected. In fact it may have been the party's plan all along. For a state that was owing salaries and could not meet its commitment to civil servants, ex-Gov. Fayose's decision to hire more civil servants at the tale end of his tenure was widely criticised as irresponsible and an attempt to plunge the incoming government into a crisis. Retaining them on the payroll was always going to be a tall order for the new administration, especially with the new minimum wage requirements.

Historical Royalty Revenue Data is reported on a fiscal year basis (April 1 to March 31). The Revenue collected summaries begin with the 1970/71 fiscal year. 2009- 2011 Royalty Information is available in Alberta's Écharpe Laine Connexion En Faith Pas Histoire Cher IdvnxYT0 Energy history.
The 36 Eu Tonal Suede Classic Basket Puma 36259503 wRUZf6HUxqModernized Royalty Framework applies to crude oil, liquid and natural gas wells spud on or after January 1, 2017, and to non-project crude bitumen wells spud on or after January 1, 2017 (since royalties for these wells are calculated based on Crown royalty volume determined under crude oil formulas). Wells spud before July 13, 2016 will continue to operate under the previous royalty framework until December 31, 2026. Wells spud during the early election period (July 13, 2016 to December 31, 2016) that did not elect to opt in early to the MRF or did not meet the criteria will continue to operate under the previous royalty framework until December 31, 2026. The Modernized Royalty Framework will not impact royalties on production from an approved Oil Sands Royalty Project, under the Oil Sands Royalty Regulation, 2009.
The maturity threshold applies when monthly production from the well is below the equivalent of 194 cubic metres (approximately 40 barrels of oil equivalent per day). The 194 cubic meters (m3) equivalent value is the sum of all products from a well, and not individual streams. The maturity threshold in gas equivalent volumes is 345.5 thousand cubic metres (e3Chaussures Femme Look Chaussures Look Fashion rwqrT10Pm3) per month (approximately 400 Mcf of gas equivalent per day). The conversion ratio between m3 liquids to e3m3 of gas is 1.7811. If cumulative production is below this point, the quantity adjustment specified in the formulas reduces the royalty rate charged to a well, down to a minimum rate of 5%.
No, the calculation of the par prices has not changed under the Modernized Royalty Framework. For oil , they will continue to be based on the four density categories. For Homme Pepper white 5 limoges chili Cmf swiss 623 Hoke K T 44 Eu Blanc Basses Sneakers qHzYc6natural gas, they will continue to be based on the extracted and in stream components.

Next-generation Jazz to go 100% hybrid in Europe
By Natalie Middleton / 1 year ago / International News / No Comments
Honda has confirmed at Frankfurt that its fourth-generation Jazz supermini will go hybrid only in Europe as it also announces more details on its energy management technologies in line with its 'Electric Vision'.
Honda's first energy management services will be available from 2020, which will also see the launch of the Honda e
At this year's Geneva Motor Show, the brand advanced its plans to electrify its range with the announcement that 100% of its European automobile sales will be "electrified" by 2025, accelerating the 2017 aim for two-thirds of its sales to be electrified by 2025. This follows previous announcements that it's phasing out diesel. Geneva also saw Honda reveal the first details of its developing energy management solutions business for Europe and announce plans to team up with Moixa on V2G solutions and with on-street charging specialist Ubitricity.
Today's opening of the Frankfurt Motor Show has built on this, not only with Honda's reveal of the mass production version of the Honda e that was shown in prototype at Geneva, and the announcement of its pricing, but also with the confirmation by Honda Motor Europe senior vice president, Tom Gardner that the next-gen Jazz will be introduced into Europe with hybrid technology as the sole powertrain option.
Honda also outlined at Frankfurt how its technology could be used to support vehicle charging not only for users who have off-street parking, but also those who live in built up urban areas who only park on-street.
This includes a new power charger for off-street use that will bring a maximum output of 7.4kW (single-phase power supply) or 22kW (three-phase power supply), enabling Honda e owners to charge to 100% capacity in 4.1 hours.
Honda's work with Ubitricity has also led to a solution that allows users to charge in urban on-street scenarios. This technology allows the installation of chargepoints within lamp posts, while a bespoke cable featuring a mobile metering device allowing charging cost to be linked to the customer's tariff to remove the need for subscription to several suppliers.
The brand also showed its Honda Power Manager Prototype 'vehicle-to-grid', which has been developed in partnership with bi-directional charging specialists EVTEC and will continue trials – including in London – ahead of future commercialisation in the early 2020s.
Honda also confirmed at Frankfurt that it will bring to market its first commercial energy services during 2020 to align with the launch of the Honda e. UK and Germany are targeted as the first countries for a commercial launch, with further European markets set to follow.

New White City-Emerald Park Wastewater Facility Construction Moving Forward
December 20, 2017 Posted in News / Your Government
Today, WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority Inc. hosted a ceremonial sod-turning and announced the prime contractor for a more than $21.9-million project funded in part by the federal and provincial governments that will help position the Town of White City and the RM of Edenwold's Emerald Park area for growth.
The prime contractor, Westridge Construction, targets January to start work on a new building that will house the new wastewater treatment system. They will also connect that new system to the existing sewage lagoon system. Saskatchewan-based Living Sky Water Solutions will provide the new wastewater treatment system within that new building. Living Sky Water Solutions, which manufactures locally in Regina, was sourced through a tendering process earlier this year.
"I am very pleased to see this important wastewater project moving closer to reality for the communities of White City, Edenwold and Emerald Park. The Government of Canada is investing in modern wastewater infrastructure that will help protect the environment, keep our communities healthy and create middle-class job opportunities across Saskatchewan for years to come," said Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Ralph Goodale.
"The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to be investing more than $7.3 million toward this wastewater project which will help keep these communities and our province strong. It's great to see municipalities working together on a common infrastructure goal to serve their citizens," said Regina Pasqua MLA Muhammad Fiaz on behalf of Government Relations Minister Larry Doke.
"It's great to see this important infrastructure project take another significant positive step and move toward the construction phase. Today marks another important milestone in this ongoing project," said WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority Inc. Chair and Town of White City Councillor Cec Snyder.
"We've come a long way to make it to this significant point as a joint wastewater authority, thanks to the past and present efforts of everyone involved in this much needed project," said WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority Inc. Vice Chair and Div. 2 RM of Edenwold No. 158 Councillor Stan Capnerhurst.
Through the New Building Canada Fund's Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component, National and Regional Projects, the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are each contributing more than $7.3 million for the project. WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority will be responsible for all remaining costs of the project, which has a total eligible cost of $21.9 million.
Federal and provincial funding was announced earlier this year. Since that time, project design, and other preparation work has been underway to get ready for the start of construction on the facility south of the White City/Emerald Park area.
In 2018, work will include such things as construction of a building, installation of a treatment system, and connection to the existing wastewater infrastructure. The facility is expected to be operational and serving area citizens by late 2018.
The WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority was formed in 2009 by the Town of White City and the RM of Edenwold No. 158 to deliver wastewater utility services to the communities of White City and the Emerald Park areas.

New details from Mar-a-Lago investigation show how Trump handled classified documents
By Ryan Lucas
Since the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump has claimed that he completely cooperated with investigators. The Justice Department says in a new court filing that that is just not true. The department also provided new details on the high-profile investigation. And joining us now with more details is NPR justice correspondent Ryan Lucas. Hi, Ryan.
RYAN LUCAS, BYLINE: Hi there.
CHANG: OK. So this new document that the Justice Department just filed in court is something like 36 pages long. What is in there?
LUCAS: A lot. And this document gives us really the most detailed look yet into the government's long running efforts to get back from Trump classified materials and other presidential records that were taken to Mar-a-Lago after he left office. Remember, Trump was supposed to turn all the government documents that ended up at Mar-a-Lago over to the National Archives back in January. But the FBI learned that more classified documents were still at the Florida estate.
And so in May, it got a grand jury subpoena for any documents that remain there. In response, Trump attorneys say they did a thorough search of Mar-a-Lago, including a storage room where boxes were kept, and that they gathered together all of the remaining classified documents. And then when a senior Justice Department official and FBI agents visited Mar-a-Lago in June, Trump's lawyers handed over one red weld envelope double wrapped in tape. That envelope contained 38 classified documents, including some that were marked top secret. And they said that was everything.
CHANG: Thirty-eight classified documents, one envelope. So Trump's representatives said that that was everything. But then the FBI heard from witnesses that there were still more classified materials there?
LUCAS: That's right. The department says the FBI had evidence that government documents were likely concealed and removed from that storage room where they were being held and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation. And remember, one of the crimes the FBI is investigating here relates to obstruction. And when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago on August 8, agents found more highly classified documents. The department says some of those documents were so sensitive that even the FBI agents and DOJ attorneys needed additional security clearances before they could review them.
CHANG: Right.
LUCAS: The department notes that the FBI recovered twice as many classified documents in a couple of hours at Mar-a-Lago as Trump's attorneys did in weeks of their, quote-unquote, "diligent search" there. And the department says that casts doubt on the extent of Trump's cooperation.
CHANG: OK. I want to talk about a particular photo, because in its filing, the Justice Department, including this photo that shows classified documents found in Trump's office at Mar-a-Lago. And these documents were clearly marked secret and top secret, which seems pretty important. Can you talk a little more about this photo?
LUCAS: Right. It says a couple of things. One, it makes clear that there's no way to argue that there could be any confusion that these were classified documents. They have bright red or yellow cover sheets with secret or top secret in bold red letters on them. On top of that, the government says classified materials were found in Trump's desk drawer mixed in with other documents. Now, I spoke with David Laufman. He used to lead the Justice Department's counterintelligence division. And he says the fact that classified documents were just mixed in with Trump's personal effects matters because it makes it reasonable to infer that Trump had a personal interest in keeping those classified documents even in the face of a grand jury subpoena. Here's Laufman.
DAVID LAUFMAN: I think some of the additional factual revelations in the filing make stronger the government's potential criminal case against the former president of the United States for unlawful retention of national defense information, as well as his potential complicity in obstruction of justice.
LUCAS: In other words, the new details here suggest Trump's legal peril may be greater than we previously knew.
CHANG: So what's next in these proceedings?
LUCAS: Well, there's a hearing tomorrow in federal court in Florida on Trump's request for an independent special master to review the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago for potentially privileged reasons. The Justice Department opposes that. It says there's no legal basis for it, and it says the FBI has already gone through everything that was taken at Mar-a-Lago.
CHANG: That is NPR's Ryan Lucas. Thank you, Ryan.

Жеравна () село је у југоисточној Бугарској, општина Котел, Сливенска област. Жеравна је постављена на листу од стотину националних туристичких локалитета Бугарске.

Географија

Село се налази 14 км јужно од Котела, на падинама источне Старе планине, око 70 км од града Сливена, на надморској висини од 640 m. Село Жеравна је проглашено архитектонским и историјским резерватом и представља својеврсни музеј на отвореном. Скоро све од преко 200 кућа у селу, у којем живи око 400 становника, су споменици културе из периода бугарског националног препорода. Међу најимпресивнијим знаменитостима Жеравне су родна кућа чувеног бугарског писца Јордана Јовкова, куће-музеј Саве Филаретова, Руса Чорбаџије, Тодора Икономова, метох манастира Хиландара, у коме је преписана позната словенска бугарска историја.

У околини око Жеравне расте углавном листопадна шума. Минимална температура је у јануару око -10 °C, максимална температура у јулу је око 32 °C.

Историја

У месту се традиционално одржава фестивал фолклорних народних ношњи који плени својим јединственим садржајима, песмом, представљањем старих заната и добро очуваним живописним наслеђем. Постоје квалитетни објекти за смештај који испуњавају све критеријуме, капацитете, очекивања и захтеве посетилаца, омогућавајући им изузетно занимљиве активности и садржаје током боравка.

У Жеравни се налази и данас познати Хиландарски метох са црквом посвећеном Пресветој Богородици. Овај метох је од 18. века у служби хиландарских монаха, који су у њој свраћали, одмарали се и основали школу у којој су обучавали околно становништво. У овом метоху настао је и други препис Пајсијеве славјанскоблгарске историје. У овом метоху су дуго монаси и учитељи подучавали становништво аритметику, грчки језик, бугарски језик, историју и географију.

Данас је метох неактиван, а на њему се налази црква Светог Николе и пар старих кућа.

Становништво

По проценама из 2011. године, Жеравна је имала 413 становника. Већина становништва су етнички Бугари. Последњих деценија број становника у насељу опада.

Претежна вероисповест месног становништва је православље.

Talking Sense on Europe
Posted by Millie Earl | Updated 2016-06-19
Many of the claims made by both sides, though particularly by Brexit are no more than pious hopes. George Osborne's claim that every household will be £4,300 worse off by 2030 if the UK leaves the EU is ludicrous, Ludicrous because every household will be differently affected. But similarly the Brexit claim that if we leave every thing will be fine is equally ludicrous.
So what would be sensible claims?
If UK remains in the EU:
1. It would be reasonable to claim that if we remain in the EU, things will remain roughly as they are now.
2. It will also be reasonable to claim that over time the EU will gradually become more democratic and reformed. It is arguable that the EU is already more democratic than the UK. Despite the complaints of the Outers EU legislation is not dictated by the commission, which simply proposes legislation. This legislation is then democratically voted on by the European parliament or the councils of ministers. The European parliament has reasonably fair democratic representation. The UK in contrast has a ludicrously unfair system in which 37% of those voting was sufficient to give a government majority which is not a fair result.
3. Investment in the UK because we are part of the EU will continue to occur. If we leave such investment may well go elsewhere.
4. Scotland is more likely to remain part of the UK.
5. The trade deals organised by the EU will continue to operate for the UK.
6. The EU reforms of tax havens and tax avoidance will continue, these are considerably stronger than UK proposals – indeed the UK has been opposing the EU proposals.
7. The UK will have to continue to contribute to the EU budget. However imperfectly this money is distributed to support poorer countries and regions.
8. The effect on immigration is unclear. The reduction in benefit payments may reduce immigration.
9. The EU will be better able to resist Russian expansionism.
If the UK leaves the EU.
1. It is likely that there will be a period of financial turmoil. Osbourne's claim that we will be worse off is likely to be true, though the amount concerned is unclear. If interest rates rise, which is quite likely;- the cost of mortgages will rise, the money we pay to service the UK debt will rise.
2. Eventually all our contributions to the EU will disappear, but so will the money we receive to support our poorer regions. The net effect will be an overall reduction in our net payment to the EU.
3. It is likely that Scotland breaks from the UK and eventually joins the EU. It is then possible that Scotland will become a preferred destination for inward investment.
4. It is likely that tax avoidance and tax havens will continue to be supported by the City of London.
By some measures the UK can already itself be classed as a tax haven because of the high level of tax avoidance and secrecy schemes organised by the City of London.
5. We will have to negotiate new trade deals with the EU and with countries outside the EU. Brexit claims these will be better than those which currently exist. This might be true but there is no evidence to support this claim.
6. Similarly Brexit claims that the UK will grow more strongly outside the EU. This claim may be true but again there is no evidence to support the claim.
7. Immigration. It is possible/likely that in order to get a trade deal with the EU we will have to accept the Schengen (open borders agreement), in this case we will have the worst of all worlds. We will have the open borders agreement but will no longer be party to the negotiations concerning it. On the other hand if we do not sign up to Schengen we will have to establish our own border controls in this country, so that camps like that in Calais will have to be established in the UK (Kent).
8. It is possible that a UK exit may trigger the break up of the EU and in a few years we will be back to the warring factions of Europe and the expansion of Russian influence.

As boat dealers focus on growing sales with digital marketing and their websites, a quality shopping experience on mobile devices is paramount. A key tool to maximize website lead generation is live chat. BoatChat is an industry pioneer with managed chat and chat software that has been scientifically tested to the smallest detail.
One of the many critical factors of chat software on all devices is to minimize the impact on page load speeds. Google's search results tend to favor websites which load quickly. Pages with excessively long loading times tend to rank lower than their competitors. Numerous website development companies have identified chat software plugins – especially the most popular free live chat plugins – as a key cause of slower page loads and credit BoatChat engineers with high-performance code that has no measurable impact on page load speed, especially on mobile boat dealer websites.
Another tale of caution for live chat is to beware of cannibalized leads from contact forms. BoatChat has been carefully tested to ensure website lead counts dealer websites already generate aren't compromised by obnoxious and intrusive chat invites.
Probably the most critical performance factor with chat on mobile is chat conversations that end just like a dropped call with JabbR 1-way communication. BoatChat leads the industry with next-generation SignalR server technology that maintains a two-way chat connection, and increased reliability by 20 percent over JabbR old-school tech. It's one instance which retro just isn't cool.
There are a dozen other critical performance factors that impact success with live chat on mobile devices and overall, but these are a few of the biggies.

The legislation was introduced on a phased basis but all transitional dates have now passed. From 1st October 2008, with very few exceptions ( eg Places of Worship and buildings to be demolished) all commercial buildings being sold or let must have an EPC in place before being advertised for sale or letting.
Once completed the EPC is valid for 10 years. As well as the Energy Rating it contains a number of recommendations for consideration by the owner which might improve the efficiency of the building in terms of the fabric of the building together with its heating, cooling, ventilation, glazing and lighting systems.
The amount of time required to complete the visit and prepare the EPC depends on the size and complexity of the conditioning systems ( ie its heating and ventilation). Our assessor will measure the size and shape of the building and take notes on heating, ventilation, glazing and lighting systems. We will require access to all areas of the building and ask you to notify any staff and other occupants of our presence on the day.
Health and Safety at Work is of critical importance to Clarius so we will expect you to ensure that no avoidable hazards are present on site and where any risks exist these are clearly notified in advance of our visit.

NE college principals to march on Parliament to demand fairer funding #LoveOurColleges
by Chris JENNINGS
Principals, staff and students from further education colleges across the North East will next week march on Parliament to demand increased funding after a decade of decline.
The unprecedented joint action will see college CEOs protest alongside colleagues, learners and education unions in a rally at Parliament Square next Wednesday.
The demo is part of a coordinated national campaign by the Association of Colleges, National Union of Students, Association of College and School Leaders, University and Colleges Union, Unison, GMB, TUC and National Education Union.
'Love Our Colleges' is calling on the Government to increase 16-19 funding by five per cent a year for five years and provide additional ring-fenced funding for pay, reversing cuts over the past decade which have seen college funding cut by 30 per cent.
The campaign, part of the Colleges Week celebration from October 15 to 19, follows a report from the Institute of Fiscal Studies which shows funding for students in school sixth forms and FE colleges has been "severely squeezed" since 2010.
Its inaugural annual report on education spending found that while funding for early years has gone from almost nil to £3bn since the early 1990s, and spending per student in higher education has risen by nearly 60 per cent since 1997, there has been an "almost complete lack of growth in spending on further education".
The IFS report found:
Funding per student in sixth forms is now at its lowest level since 2002-03.
By 2019-20 funding per FE student will be at about the same level as in 2006-07 – only 10 per cent higher than it was 30 years ago.
There has been a 45 per cent drop in spending on adult learning since 2009-10.
The number of adult learners almost halved between 2004 and 2016, from four million to 2.2 million.
The Association of Colleges says the impact of the cuts has included fewer hours of teaching and support for young people, a drastic reduction in the number of learning opportunities for adults, and the value of staff pay falling by over 25% since 2009 - with college teachers earning £7,000 less on average than school teachers.
AoC is calling on the Government to:
Increase the 16-19 funding rate by five per cent a year for the next five years.
Extend the pupil premium to cover post-16 students.
Fully fund a National Retraining Scheme to support Level 3 to 5 skills.
Introduce a lifetime learning entitlement to fund skills training for all adults who have not previously achieved a Level 3 qualification.
Provide immediate exceptional funding, ring-fenced for pay, to cover the costs of a fair pay deal for college staff from 2018-19 onwards.
Further education and sixth form colleges from across the North-East are supporting the campaign:
Bishop Auckland College;
Darlington College;
Derwentside College;
East Durham College;
Hartlepool College of Further Education;
Middlesbrough College;
New College Durham;
Newcastle College;
Newcastle Sixth Form College;
Northumberland College;
Redcar & Cleveland College;
Stockton Riverside College;
SRC Bede Sixth Form College;
Sunderland College and
Tyne Coast College (South Tyneside College and Tyne Met College).
Darren Hankey, Principal of Hartlepool College of Further Education, said:
"The inaugural Institute of Fiscal Studies education report was a real eye opener in terms of how far our wonderful sector has fallen behind that of other areas of the country's education system when it comes to funding.
"In a report full of key statistics, the one which stood out most for me was the fact the sector is funded at only ten per cent more in real terms than it was in 1990. A ten per cent real terms increase in 30 years!
"The ways in which this woeful funding situation impact colleges are numerous; there has been a recent story of one college not giving a pay award for ten years.
"For me the biggest impact is on the country's 16, 17 and 18-year olds and I would argue that the current approach to funding further education and skills is letting down these students.
"Much is made of social justice and trying to do the best for people from all walks of society. For me, if we're truly serious about opportunity and social justice, better funding of the English further education and skills sector is a must."
Chris Todd, Principal and Chief Executive at Derwentside College, added:
"It is simply wrong that the Government continues to expect colleges to deliver high quality education and training within the current funding envelope.
"Colleges have done everything they can over the last ten years to absorb these continued cuts in funding but there is only so much you can trim and still deliver a quality service to students.
"I want to see colleges admired for the hugely valuable work they do, and funded appropriately. What we urgently need is a long term funding strategy for further education, providing the resources and certainty colleges need to plan ahead with confidence and to focus on what is important: the skills of our future workforce."
Stockton-on-Tees based car parts manufacturer Nifco, which recently announced record sales of £75m, is one of the thousands of employers in the region who benefit from the training and support from local colleges.
The firm's General Manager of Engineering Andy Dunn, also Board Chair at South West Durham Training in Newton Aycliffe, said:
"At Nifco UK we have great relationships with a number of colleges and training centres across the North East.
"In advanced manufacturing and engineering, there is a massive amount of the job that can be learned through 'on the job' training, but there is so much that can't. The facilities at our partner education establishments offer the best of both worlds; they have heavily invested in the equipment needed to replicate a live factory, creating seamless, hands-on learning for the young person, as well as the space and support needed for the theory.
"In our industry, we are seeing an increasing skills gap and one of the ways we are managing this is through grass roots training. To support this, we need colleges to continue to provide the incredible facilities they do, but this comes at a cost and they need increased financial backing to be able to deliver what industry needs."
Caroline Rowley, Area Director (North East) at the Association of Colleges, said:
"It's great to see so many colleges in the North East coming together and campaigning for a common goal. Colleges are critical to economic prosperity and do so much to improve the skills of the 2.2 million people learning in these institutions every day. But for colleges to continue to be able to provide outstanding provision, they need to be funded adequately.
"Government funding has been cut by an average of 30 per cent in the last decade, teacher pay has dropped by a third and the average amount of teaching hours students get is much less than their OECD counterparts. We need to stop short-changing our students if we're to have the economy we need, especially with Brexit looming.
"This week we are encouraging college staff, students, parents and the wider community to showcase why a lack of investment is hampering this great sector. Colleges are great vehicles for change and success, but to have that, they need the right level of funding."
UCU regional official Iain Owens added:
"For too long the fantastic work done by colleges and their staff has been overlooked and undervalued. Cuts to college budgets have led to cuts in opportunity for local people. If the government really wants to boost the nation's skills it must prioritise proper investment in our further education institutions and their staff."

Panel "Safety and Security"
Chair: Uwe Rüppel (Technische Universität Darmstadt)
Due to the complexity of critical infrastructure systems and the importance of their reliable functioning for society it becomes necessary to pay prime attention to the safety and security of said networks. This includes, on the one hand, approaches or methods aimed at addressing individual infrastructures, such as disruption management strategies and other backup solutions. On the other hand it also takes into account how safety and security gain further relevance across closely coupled systems, for example the relevance of the emergency services during larger infrastructural breakdowns. In order to identify current weaknesses and improve existing procedures, this panel focusses on approaches that analyse the interdependencies at hand. The object of discussion is to be centred on mitigation options in planning, technical solutions for problems encountered when dealing with critical infrastructures as well as concepts for these networked systems in regard to their safety and security. Furthermore, case studies gives insights pertaining to relevant fields such as the criticality and vulnerability of said systems.

Power failure in Lübeck including failure of the TETRA digital radio – measures for police and non-police emergency response
On 16 May 2018, around midday, electricity in Lübeck failed for almost four hours. In the course of the event, a digital exchange transit for TETRA (digital radio which is used by authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS)) that connects several administrative districts and the city of Lübeck was also affected. During the power outage, the fire brigade had to move out to two triggered fire detection systems, ten stuck elevators, a fire with human life in danger and nine other assistance services. In addition, a turntable ladder with basket was provided at the damage site of the transformer station to support the network operator in quickly rectifying the fault. It was also necessary to supply emergency power to an intensive care residential community with six intensive care patients and an old people's home with an intensive care unit. The unexpected failure of the digital exchange transit for TETRA posed special challenges for the non-police emergency response. This practice-oriented lecture gives insights into the course of the mission with the measures of police and non-police emergency response as well as into the findings obtained subsequently.

User-based Contingency Planning for Railway Disruptions Using Network Analysis
Common contingency planning for commuter railway (S-Bahn) networks is regularly conducted by relying on the experience of seasoned practitioners. These plans, also called disruption programs (DRPs), safeguard the smooth operational transitioning of the system to a degraded situation and the ability of passengers to reach their destinations. Such abilities become particularly critical for a system which services highly populated metropolitan areas. Although the DRPs are proficiently developed by the experts that run the system, relying on a single point of view may not be sufficient since taking a biased perspective towards the operational design is foreseeable. To escape from this local optimum solution and seek for a much more global perspective, the participation of multiple stakeholders becomes evident. Through participatory network analysis we propose a framework for enhancing the development of contingency plans for commuter railway networks and include a wider range of views. The developed approach is to be based on Frankfurt's commuter railway network and includes a comparison with the existing contingency plans.

Towards a smart critical infrastructure! – Big data offers new chances for resilience.
In times of increasing dependency, complexity and vulnerability of critical infrastructures, providers prepare to challenge the dilemma of enhancing their resilience and efficient allocation of resources. The methodology framework of the EU project "SmartResilience" helps end-users to assess their resilience and identify weaknesses and improvement potential. New developments such as the digitalization support this process by gaining data which has not been available before.
We present the challenges of resilience assessment for critical infrastructures as well as scientific solutions from SmartResilience to manage these challenges. Using the example of Heidelberg's suburb "Bahnstadt", which is a new area with a smart electricity grid, the opportunities and risks of big data collection are presented and how it can be used for smart power control operations using real-time process data. The advantages of indicator-based resilience assessment will be discussed as well as the benefits for decision-makers who are working on new security and safety designs. This includes the interdependencies and networks within the organization and with external partners such as other critical infrastructures. Using the example of "Bahnstadt", different scenarios from a table top exercise with experts are introduced and discussed from the resilience point of view.

The Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley, protecting animals for more than 40 years.
To prevent cruelty and neglect to animals; to educate children and all members of the community about animal welfare issues; and to provide for the health and well-being of animals with an emphasis on spay/neuter to prevent pet over-population.
To be a leading non-profit organization in caring for all animals in need.
On March 16, 1970, with the hard work and dedication of a few key volunteers committed to caring and protecting animals in order to improve the quality of their lives, the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley became incorporated. As with any new start-up organization, there were many challenges. It was a time of hope, despair, promises, and disappointments. Along this challenging path, the Society's dream became one to provide the residents of the city of San Bernardino and their pets with quality animal services sufficient to meet local needs. This dream was inspired and led by a true visionary, Joyce Young Martin. Beatrice Tupman Prothero who documented the Society's first history stated: bq. "Joyce's dreams centered on the developing of a much-needed low-cost spay and neuter clinic to help alleviate, in our area at least, the national disgrace of dog and cat overpopulation. Alone, she planted a fertile seed..." Then, person by person, she brought in a small group of dedicated people to implement this dream. They began with efforts to change conditions at the city "pound". While pursuing this objective, the small founding group was continuing to grow, using their time and resources to educate the community on behalf of all animals, both domestic and wild.

The Joyce Martin Education Auditorium is open for use by service clubs, professional associations, corporate groups, children's groups such as boy and girl scouts, and for those involved in animal welfare. The use can be for dinners, lunches, seminars, retreats and workshops.

The Lighthouse from Constanța, ConstanțaCod 1125
The landing lighthouse from Constanța is known as one of the safest guiding methods of the ships which enter the Harbor. At the same time, the harbor from Constanța has also the role as radio-marker, being one of the four such unique lighthouses from the shores of the Black Sea.
Built in 1958, the Lighthouse was inaugurated in the year 1960 in an area in which there weren't any blocks, parks or boulevards with six circulation bands.
The construction with a height of 60 meters has a radius which is visible from 24 marine miles.
The optical and electrical mechanisms of the lighthouse are situated in a metallic arch of a pyramid shape, executed of edge iron and steel pipe with dimensions of 5 meters at the base of the pyramid and the height of 15 meters.
In the same lighthouse it is also installed the radio-marker Constanța, which is part of a chain of four such radio-markers situated surrounding the Black Sea, the other three being Nos Kaliakra, Nos Emine and Maslen Nos.
The radio-marker Constanța issues a radio signal, in the Morse code, on the frequency of 291, 5 KHz, signal which can be used by the ships for orientation through the method of goniometry. The lighthouse from Constanța is installed in well-established geographic coordinates, these being 43 degrees, 9 minutes and 50 seconds northern longitude and 28 degrees, 37 minutes and 91 seconds eastern latitude. In the night, the lighthouse from Constanța can be identified without doubt from the see, if it taken into account the lighting characteristic of it, which is unique: a white light with a group of two short blinks at an interval of 29, 8 seconds. The navigation officers of the military and commercial ships known how to decode the signals of these lighthouses, their characteristics being passed in the special manuals and the navigation maps found on the board of every commercial and military ships from the world, starting with the year 1966 the Maritime Hydrographic Department being a national member in the International Association of Maritime Signalizing (ASIM or YALA).
In the last 10 years, the lighthouse has been renovated and remained a symbol of the city. This is why, the construction takes the eyes of the visitors.
The landing lighthouses from the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, besides the one from Constanța, are also at Mangalia, Tuzla, Midia, Gura Portiței, Sfântu Gheorghe and Sulina.
The seven landing lighthouses ensure each one of them a visibility of minimum 15 marine miles from the coast.

UPDATED January 12th, 2018 In these tough economic times, many stay-at-home moms are realizing that returning to work is what is currently best for the family. In my work as a Disability Navigator for Workforce Solutions, I encounter job seekers on a daily basis who express concern about explaining employment gaps to prospective employers. Today, some of the most common reasons for employment gaps are a lay-off, taking time off to have a baby, caring for an elderly parent, a disability, or choosing to stay at home and raise children.
