Sharpen your pencils! Calling for pitches to The Dominion and Media Co-op
by Media Co-op Editorial Collective
What summer doldrums? From shale gas exploration in New Brunswick, to catastrophic floods in Alberta, to sneaky anti-union bills in parliament... those of us with an ear to the ground--or should we say, the grassroots--know that things don't stop heating up just because school's out. To continue our coverage of un- and under-reported stories, we want your pitches.
Our contributors have been pounding away at the keyboard to bring us cutting edge news and analysis, from Canada's role in the legacy of Caribbean slavery, to the unnoticed passage of global climate change thresholds, and we want your ideas to continue our reporting. We will pay two contributors $100 each for news features to be published on The Media Co-op (online). Most articles will also be featured in The Dominion (print magazine).
We prioritize solutions-oriented news pieces with a Canadian angle, including photo essays and video pitches. We accept stories of national interest, including those about Canada's role in international affairs. If it's an international story, tell us what the Canadian angle will be. If the story focuses on a particular city or region of Canada, tell us why it's of interest to a national audience. Priority will be given to articles of a time-sensitive nature, bearing in mind that the piece will go through several weeks of editing before publication.
While we are only able to pay for two contributions per month, we do accept unpaid contributions as well. Pitches are welcome from anyone, with priority for payment going to those who have previously contributed.
Please read over past content to get an idea of what we publish. It's also a good idea to make sure you're not covering a topic we've recently covered, unless there is a new angle or update. Consider what other media has covered the topic you are pitching and from what perspective. Be sure your pitch is news-focused, rather than opinion or academic. We like both of those forms, but they're not what we publish. Think about your sources and interviewees—this is something we consider seriously when reviewing pitches.
We have a fairly extensive editorial process, with 2 editors assigned to each piece, plus a fact-checking and copy editing process. Please only pitch to us if you are open and available to work with us through this process.
We priotize pitches that incorporate reader suggestions, which can be found here: http://www.mediacoop.ca/group/discuss/15363
Deadline for pitches: July 1 at Midnight
Response to pitches by: July 5
First drafts due: July 15
Final copy due: July 31
How to pitch:
1. Set up a Media Co-op account (if you don't already have one): http://mediacoop.ca/user
2. Check out our writer's guide for hot topics and details about writing for The Dominion: http://dominionpaper.ca/write For a more in-depth look, check out our Writer's Guide here: http://mediacoop.ca/writersguide

5. Info about making a video pitch: http://dominionpaper.ca/video/create. To pitch a video news clip, contact us: http://dominionpaper.ca/contact
The deal:
Pitches should be less than 200 words and include your planned sources and research. An entire story submitted as a pitch will not be considered for payment. The Media Co-op currently pays a flat rate of $100 for accepted stories. Articles are either 720 or 1500 words. See the video guidelines for length of videos.
Editors reserve the right to suggest changes and edit stories (with your participation, of course!) Pitches should capture the content, tone and style of the story you plan to submit; if the content submitted differs significantly from the pitch, editors reserve the right to withhold payment. We accept pitches at any time, so if these deadlines don't work for you, please consider contributing at a later date.
We look forward to your story proposals!

Working from a studio at her Dorset home, Lesley ensures that she puts her heart and soul into every piece she makes.
Are you searching for a gift? Are you looking for something unique and unusual? Handcrafted jewellery will make the gift recipient feel special because they know you've put that extra effort into choosing the perfect item for them. Handmade from the finest .925 Sterling Silver / 9ct Gold with designs and craftsmanship ready to stand the test of time, Lesley's jewellery is as individual as you are. Sold in shops throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide, the jewellery is a designed to enrich the lives of you or the person you choose to receive it.
What's Special about Lesley's Jewellery?
For me it means, before I touched it, it didn't exist"
As well as offering a recycled silver range, I only buy my bullion from dealers who adhere to the Golden Rules of Mining, which protects mine workers' rights and the surrounding countryside. I largely use tools dating back to ancient times (saw, pliers, hammers and fire) and many of my designs could never be replicated by machines because they are so intricate.
Each piece is handmade and imaginatively designed using a variety of techniques to produce wearable, high quality works of art either in sterling silver or silver with a touch of yellow gold.
All my original designs are protected by Intellectual Property Rights which ensures that every item of jewellery is as individual as the person wearing it. I thoroughly enjoy creating new jewellery by combining or customising my existing designs for customers to commission.
It was a special moment to be contacted by the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London wanting to buy my Equestrian Jewellery Collection in its entirety. It was featured in conjunction with their Major Special Exhibition "War Horse - Fact & Fiction" running from October 2011 - February 2013, to be part of an exhibition such as this has been a highlight in my career as a silversmith.
I have a definite penchant for the Art Deco era with its contemporary sleek and clean lines. There is an almost timeless element to the geometric forms that transcends the decades. However, living and working near the Jurassic coast in Dorset, I cannot fail to be inspired by the beauty of the surrounding countryside. I find the minimal aesthetic and timeless elegance of the 1920 - 30's design is not only prevalent within my Distinctly Deco Collection, but automatically flows throughout my sister collections. I do love experimenting with new procedures and skills and enjoy evolving of my own unique style of jewellery.
Having studied for a BSC (Hons) degree, it wasn't until I enrolled with a private silversmithing school in Hampshire in 2005 that I knew where my creative vocation lay. Having always been inspired by design / fashion and possessing a desire for owning all things Art Deco, it was a natural progression to combine silversmithing with this love.


We are pleased to be able to announce 2 Duke Special shows that will take place in May 2019!

Our Plan to Get New Zealand Working
Todd Muller July 09, 2020
It is fantastic to be in Christchurch today to meet with Canterbury's business community.
I am delighted to have here with me, two of my most senior colleagues: Amy Adams, my Policy Chair, Covid-19 spokesperson and number three in caucus; and, of course Gerry Brownlee, my Campaign Chair and set to take one of the most senior roles in my Government in September.
It is also great to have here today Nicky Wagner MP and Dale Stephens, our candidate for Christchurch Central.
Ladies and Gentlemen, when the earthquakes devastated this great city it was a body blow to the whole country. The National Government took decisive action to generate the rebuild. Our legacy isn't one of ruined buildings behind fences, awaiting insurance settlements, it's of a new vibrant city, from the beautiful riverside to the shiny new buildings.
A major part of that recovery strategy was the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, put together in just 100 days. Our execution of that plan returned life to a devastated CBD.
National knows how to shape a plan that delivers. It is going to fall to us again to rebuild New Zealand from Covid-19 and the lockdown. The Prime Minister told her party rally over the weekend that she had no playbook or plan for her three years in Government, no plan for Covid-19 and no plan for recovery.
National understands that responsible government is about creating a deliberate and considered plan – and then following it.
Today I am going to make some remarks on the economy in the context of the next year, the next three years, the next decade, and beyond. And then I am going to make my first major announcement of this election campaign – the structure of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working, as we all prepare to battle the looming economic and jobs crisis.
According to the Reserve Bank, New Zealand faces its worst economic downturn for 160 years. I don't think the magnitude of that has yet sunk in to the public or the media. That's partly because, these past few weeks, everyone has quite rightly been more preoccupied with the shambles at the border and in our quarantine centres. But, if the Reserve Bank is to be believed, ahead of us lies the greatest economic and jobs crisis that anyone in this room has ever known.
National's worst fears were confirmed when we saw the March quarter GDP figures last month. There was a plunge of 1.6 per cent for the quarter – the worst in 30 years – despite the data covering just the first week or so of lockdown, and worse than market expectations.
Since then, 40,000 jobs were destroyed in April in the first wave of Covid-19 job destruction, the worst one-month result since records began. The latest statistics from the employment website, SEEK, show that our economy is not generating enough jobs to reduce the 200,000 people on unemployment benefits. And, according to Infometrics, there will be a second wave of job destruction before the election, with 80,000 more jobs destroyed.
Infometrics then warns there will be a third wave of job destruction before Christmas, which National fears will be the worst of them all. NZIER's Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion on Tuesday confirmed it, with a collapse in business confidence and more than a third of businesses planning to lay off staff between now and the end of September.
In putting together National's plan, I reconfirm National's commitment to the basic macroeconomic framework that was put in place from the mid-1980s. That framework has seen New Zealand through previous crises, such as the Asian Financial Crisis, the Global Financial Crisis and the Canterbury earthquakes.
That is, National believes in:
An open and competitive economy;
A broad-based, low-rate tax system;
An independent central bank with the primary goal of price stability;
The Fiscal Responsibility Act, now part of the Public Finance Act; and
A flexible labour market, underpinned since 2000 by good faith.
Our concern is that that basic macroeconomic framework is being diluted by the current Government – mainly through incompetence than the result of any plan.
What is most being challenged, at present, is the general commitment to fiscal responsibility – and, in particular, to New Zealand's long-standing, long-term target, of 20 per cent net core debt. There is no doubt that the fiscal deficit is soaring in 2020/21 and that net core debt will keep rising through the next parliamentary term.
My Government will not panic in 2020/21 or 2021/22, just as John Key and Bill English didn't panic after the February 2011 earthquake. It was the right thing for Bill to run the biggest fiscal deficit in New Zealand's history then. It will be the right thing for my Finance Minister, Paul Goldsmith, to confirm in his first Budget that he and his predecessor Grant Robertson have run an even larger fiscal deficit in 2020/21.
Nor will National cut family incomes. National has already announced that, whatever lies ahead of us through the crisis, we will not raise the taxes you pay or cut the benefits paid to those who need help. We would like Labour to make the same commitment to New Zealand families too.
Nevertheless, National will work to keep borrowing as low as possible. Out of the $80 billion plus they spend each year, all governments have wasteful spending that needs to be trimmed. All finance ministers review all spending each time they bring together a Budget. And we will do the same.
Since the Fiscal Responsibility Act, the economic and political debate in New Zealand has tended to be on the quantity of borrowing or debt repayment each year. These remain critically important. Getting back to fiscal surplus and then paying down debt to 20 per cent of GDP is necessary, not least because New Zealand will inevitably confront another natural, economic or health disaster in the next couple of decades or beyond. But just as important is to focus on the quality of spending.
Labour forecasts net core debt will reach 53.6 per cent of GDP in 2024 under their policies. That's an eye-wateringly high level. We will work hard to try to keep it lower than that, which would put New Zealand in a better position to recover. But of far greater longer-term importance is that Labour projects that under its policies, but with a far stronger economic environment than we face today, net core debt will still be as high as 42 per cent by 2034. That means Labour intends a mere 11 per cent reduction in net core debt, over a decade. At that rate, we will not get back to the safe 20 per cent mark until perhaps the mid-2050s.
National does not regard Labour's attitude as anything like prudent. It would leave an enormous debt, not so much to our children but to our grandchildren. And it would leave our children and grandchildren – and also ourselves – profoundly vulnerable were the global economic and strategic outlook anything other blissful for three successive decades. Covid-19, the trade war between the US and China and this city's recent history all say that is not a safe bet.
In reality, of course, it is unlikely even Labour would take such a reckless punt. Its DNA would see it opt for the higher taxes on income and the new taxes on houses, KiwiSaver funds and other assets that the Labour Leader is not ruling out.
We learn two lessons from Labour's economic and fiscal projections and their refusal to rule out higher taxes. First, they don't have anything to offer except borrow, spend, hope and then tax. Second, and even more important, they don't think any of their borrowing and spending will actually do anything useful to improve New Zealand's productivity, economy or the overall wellbeing of every one of us.
I'm not hiding that my Government will borrow large amounts over the next three years, and in 2020/21 in particular. National will always be more disciplined in its spending than Labour. Yes, we will borrow what we need to, to support New Zealanders through the crisis – neither more nor less. But we will not just fling money around, the way the Labour Party is. Instead, we promise to spend it better and invest it better than Labour, in a way that does in fact improve New Zealand's productivity, economy, the overall wellbeing of every one of us, and which, in turn, makes it easier to pay the debt off.
The last National Government developed the Living Standards Framework to properly measure wellbeing beyond crude GDP or GDP per capita. And we developed the social investment, or actuarial approach, to help analyse which types of government spending and investment will in fact improve overall wellbeing. The Government has failed to implement either. Its talk of wellbeing is sadly just a cheap slogan. It is making its spending decisions using the same criteria and processes as all previous governments. As a result, Labour shouldn't be surprised that it isn't getting any better results either in terms of GDP per capita or the wider measures of wellbeing, or in worsening child poverty.
Under Helen Clark, John Key, Bill English and Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand has spent, in 2020 dollars, $505 billion on social welfare, $302 billion on health, $260 billion on education, and $27 billion on corrections. That is well over a trillion dollars on those four areas alone just since the year 2000, or well over $200,000 for every single person living in New Zealand today.
When we see more than one in eight New Zealand children still living in material hardship; more than 310,000 Kiwis on a benefit even before Covid-19 (and now up to more than 350,000); more than a million food grants needed last year; and the state house waiting list having more than tripled since Labour was elected, then I don't think anyone can believe we have achieved the best possible return on that trillion-dollar-plus investment.
Over the next 20 years, we will spend at least another trillion dollars – at least another $200,000 per New Zealander – on those four areas alone: social welfare, health, education and corrections. We must do better in the interests of this decade's taxpayers, of course. But, even more so, we must do better in the interests of those that the spending is meant to help and in the interests of future taxpayers, who will otherwise have to pay higher taxes to support them.
Let me tell you what that means in practice. In 2020/21 and 2021/22, my Government will not be scared of investing more in retraining, if we are confident it will genuinely improve productivity, lower unemployment, increase the tax take, reduce the cost of welfare and improve wellbeing over the following decade. My Government will not be scared of investing over the next decade more in the first 1000 days of life, if we are confident it will improve outcomes from the school system for a generation. Similarly, social housing and mental health. Nor will my Government be afraid of investing more in roads and public transport, if we are confident they will still be improving New Zealand's productivity 50 or 100 years hence. And my Government will not be afraid to invest more in water storage or carbon-replacement technologies, if they will support higher living standards and greater wellbeing on an even longer timeframe.
I mentioned at the outset that the Prime Minister has conceded she has not had a plan these last three years. We see the evidence of that all around us. KiwiBuild is the most obvious example. The Ghost Trains to Rolleston and Auckland Airport are others. We see the Metro Sports Centre and the Christchurch Stadium now three years behind where they should be. State Highway 1 upgrades north and south of Christchurch have been cancelled. Most disgracefully, the Government's failure to plan and deliver means child poverty has got worse against five of the Government's nine measures despite the Prime Minister appointing herself Minister of Child Poverty Reduction.
National's plan is comprehensive, holistic, and ambitious. It is National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working.
Today, I am outlining just the framework for the plan and discussing why we have chosen these particular themes. We will be releasing the lion's share of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working in a series of major speeches through this month and into early August. We want to ensure each element of our Plan gets maximum public attention, part by part. The economic and fiscal elements of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working will then be finalised in the days after the Government chooses to release the Pre-Election Economic & Fiscal Update (PREFU) in August. The full plan, amended if necessary following the PREFU, will all be available by Wednesday 2 September, when overseas voting begins followed by early voting on Saturday 5 September.
Responsible Economic Management
The first element of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working is responsible economic management.
This is National Party DNA. We will retain for our party and our country our reputation for sound economic management. We are urging the nation's economists, business organisations, unions, NGOs and journalists to judge the main parties not solely by the short-term quantity of spending – one way or the other – but by its quality in terms of medium-term outcomes. Will another billion here or a billion there, in fact, raise productivity, reduce child poverty or deliver a faster, cheaper transport system? Or is it just a big number for the media?
Our short-term initiatives within our Responsible Economic Management theme will be to save jobs, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, enhance family incomes, improve the lives of some of our most poorly served communities and stimulate the economy in 2020/21 and 2021/22. We have already announced JobStart to pay $10,000 for each new permanent, full-time job businesses create before Christmas and in the first quarter of New Zealand. We have announced our $100 million Tourism Accelerator. And we have announced the immediate write off of new business assets, of up to $150,000 per asset, to encourage you to invest, create new jobs and grow.
The NZIER data on Tuesday revealed negative investment intentions. We need to reverse that urgently. National will announce a wide range of other initiatives before voting begins on Wednesday 2 September.
Responsible Economic Management also involves strong and secure borders, not the chaos we have been seeing. Strong and secure borders are essential to progressively re-opening New Zealand to tourists, students and businesspeople, when it is safe. We cannot passively wait for a vaccine that may never come. We can perhaps accept there are no foreign tourists in Canterbury this winter. It is unthinkable there will be none in the winter of 2021 or even 2022. Getting border management back on track is crucial if those tourists are to return.
Delivering Infrastructure
The second element of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working is delivering infrastructure.
National will finally deliver New Zealanders the First World infrastructure we have been promised, for so long. That includes Cantabrians. It includes Aucklanders. It includes everyone. You saw that yesterday when I announced National will invest $1.5 billion to four-lane the road from Christchurch to Ashburton.
Before the end of this month, I will announce the biggest infrastructure package in this country's history. It will include roads, rail, public transport, hospitals, schools and water. But, as Phil Twyford, David Clark, Jacinda Ardern and Shane Jones have shown us so conclusively, announcing infrastructure projects or a new hospital is as easy as pressing send on a press statement. What matters is delivery.
National has the track record on infrastructure delivery. We built the Roads of National Significance. We built – Amy built – the Ultra-Fast Broadband Network. We rebuilt – Gerry rebuilt – this city, along with you, the business community.
Reform of the Resource Management Act and the Building Code is also urgent to deliver infrastructure. The fact that Labour and the Greens are legislating for a handful of case-by-case RMA exceptions just shows how broken our planning rules are, yet they will not fix them. National will.
Reskilling and Retraining Our Workforce
The third element of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working is reskilling and retraining our workforce. This has two elements – an urgent short-term priority, and a longer-term, ongoing imperative.
As tens of thousands of people become unemployed over the next few months, they need urgent assistance with touching up their skills – not all to become super-coders for the video-game industry, but for jobs that suit their background and experience. This is not the time to be gutting the power of our local polytechnics and have them run from Wellington. My Deputy and Education Spokesperson, Nikki Kaye, has already said Labour's radical plan for polytechnics will not proceed. National will save regional polytechnics and ensure community assets stay with the community.
Looking beyond the immediate crisis, we have heard ever since I was in student politics that we need to build a life-long learning culture and that people will need to re-train and change careers through their lives. When we used to talk this way 30 years ago we referred mainly to manual labour. But AI is now challenging jobs more in the white collar space. Take one example: much of what the local accountant used to do is now done by Xero or MYOB. That trend will accelerate. Despite all the rhetoric, New Zealand didn't really catch Helen Clark's Knowledge Wave back in the 2000s. Accountancy is probably not the best profession with which to apply this term, but we better all catch the Creativity Wave in the 2020s. Everyone must have the skills they need to do the job they want through the 21st Century.
A Greener, Smarter Future
That third element is inextricably linked to the fourth element of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working: a greener, smarter future.
New Zealanders want a greener future, and the world wants food, fibre and holidays that are green and sustainably produced. My commercial background is in agri-business, on the senior executive teams of Zespri and Fonterra and as CEO of Apata. But my political background has been mostly in climate change policy, negotiating the historic Zero Carbon Act with the Greens' James Shaw, including bringing along some of the more sceptical voices in my own party.
National commits to the Zero Carbon framework, and to cleaner lakes and rivers in provincial New Zealand – and a cleaner Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora here in Canterbury, and a cleaner Waitemata Harbour in Auckland. I do not see any conflict between the interests of agri-business and a greener future. I reject the Government's demand on Tuesday that agriculture must be "transformed" rather than constantly evolve and improve by building on our status as the most productive and sustainable food-and-fibre producers in the world.
New Zealand has the world's best farmers, and New Zealand agricultural scientists. National launched the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, which now involves nearly 60 countries working together to find ways to grow more food without growing greenhouse gas emissions. It is well within New Zealand's capability to keep improving productivity while protecting and enhancing the natural environment from which we all draw our mauri as New Zealanders, and on which our economy is based. That in turn creates intellectual property for export.
A greener, smarter future is about much more than tourism and agri-business. It is about technology and intellectual property across the board, which is clearly the future New Zealand must focus on whatever the industry – including the super-coders I mentioned for the video game industry, and in every area, from movies, to rocketry, to accounting software.
As well as the looming challenge of AI we also need to invest further in connectivity, as a major enabler of better services, better productivity and better lives, whether you are in Auckland or Akaroa. Where would New Zealand have been these past few months without Amy's Ultra-Fast Broadband Network? We need to take it to the next level of its development. As we enter the 2020s, every New Zealander and every one of our businesses needs to know that the whole world is open to them in a way that other countries can only envy – and that's what my Government will deliver.
National's vision is of a post-Covid economy that is greener, smarter and better than the one we had before.
Building Stronger Communities
The fifth and final element of National's Plan to Get New Zealand Working is building stronger communities. This will be a personal passion of mine as Prime Minister.
I believe that the institutions of our communities are as vital to our economic and social progress as any other initiative we might take. The other four elements of our plan help strengthen communities. In turn, stronger communities underpin the other four. Every community needs strong community institutions to maintain and enhance their social capital. Many of those institutions were damaged a generation ago, and I don't believe they have been repaired.
The local marae, the local sports club and the local voluntary organisation – these are ultimately what bind us together. They help us to get to know our neighbours, to know when one of them needs a helping hand and they provide the structure for us to effectively offer that helping hand. They form the threads with which the cloak that is New Zealand is woven. To neglect our community institutions, is to neglect New Zealand. To value them, and support them, is to value and support New Zealand. It is to get New Zealand working again.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the end, I have a very simple message for you and all New Zealanders this election campaign: National has a plan to rebuild our communities and our economy, to get Kiwis back to work and to deal with the economic and jobs crisis.
We will give our businesses the confidence to invest and grow to create more jobs. Our strong team will bring the leadership, experience and vision to get our economy back on track.
In contrast, our opponent doesn't believe in having a plan, hasn't delivered on her promises, and has a track record of failure across the board. Her Government has made no progress on infrastructure, KiwiBuild is a disaster and child poverty is getting worse.
Labour is taking on a massive amount of debt. What New Zealand borrows now, must be repaid by future generations through taxes. We must invest that money wisely to build a better economy, not least to help pay off the debt earlier but, most importantly, to build stronger families, stronger communities and a better life for everyone.
That is National's promise in 2020.

Coalition commits principles to justification for all people
An organization that grew out of the Confederation of Voluntary Association's ideals and is still affiliated with it is the Coalition for Peace and Harmony.
It formed in April 2002 following the violence in Gujarat.
The Coalition's core principle is "belief in and commitment to justice to all, without consideration of caste, creed, or religion and distancing religion from governance."
The organization consists of about 30 members, most of whom are Hindus, but also include Muslims, Christians, Parses and others.
The Coalition targets the middle class who, according to Manatosh Mandal, Secretary General of CPH, is the target of communal propaganda and does not have access to objective information.
"We want to provide them with validated data and objective analysis to enable them to make more informed decisions," Mandal said.
The Coalition has organized a series of lectures on communal issues in order to do this. Some of the topics have included "Minority Rights and Limitations," "Threat from Communalism and the Secular Response," "The Kashmir Issue with Special Reference to the Minorities," "Nature of Violence in Gujarat" and "Hindutva and Women."
Mandal said within the middle class, many prejudices exist about Muslims, and these prejudices contribute to communalism.
"We are looking at these things and trying to remove them," Mandal said.
The Coalition believes increasing social mixing and sponsoring events involving both Hindus and Muslims can relieve communal tension. Some activities the CPH has sponsored include a fast, followed by a peace march and meeting on April 6, 2002, as well as a candlelight procession, to protest the Gujarat killings; organizing relief efforts for the victims in Gujarat; protest meetings against the killing of innocent civilians in Jammu and Kashmir; and protest letters against the oppression of minorities in Bangladesh.
The CPH also recently organized a daylong workshop for teachers and activists called "Promoting National Integration Through Understanding of History."
A group of 150 attended the workshop.
Presently, the Coalition has only a Hyderabad chapter, but it hopes to expand its outreach and network with other organizations in India and abroad to exchange ideas, views, and published material.
Within the next three years, the CPH wants to organize more talks, discussions and workshops with these other groups; publish booklets of these proceedings; and start a newsletter and web site.
"The purpose is to outreach beyond Hyderabad and work in tandem with other organizations so that an all-India movement gets built," Mandal said.

What is the focus of Clean Buildings Expo (CBE)?
CBE is a collaborative event brought to market by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association and Trade Press Media Group, a leading B-to-B media firm, serving the facilities, rail and commercial cleaning industries. Designed to serve end-user attendees in the commercial cleaning industry, this two-day trade show and education conference will bring building service contractors, in-house cleaning managers, executive housekeepers, and facility managers together to learn about the latest products and best practices to improve their business and/or department operations. CBE will be a co-located event with the annual National Facilities Management & Technology (NFMT) Show Baltimore that draws a nationwide audience of facility management professionals responsible for commercial and institutional buildings from around the country.
The show takes place March 17-28, 2020 at the Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, MD.
How does CBE differ from other ISSA Shows?
ISSA hosts trade shows globally with events in North America, Latin America, EMEA, and Oceania. The fundamental difference between CBE and ISSA shows is that ISSA events have a wider reach in terms of geography and attendees; they are hosted on an international scale and attract distributor and wholesaler attendees in addition to CBE's target audience of end-user customers. Manufacturers and wholesalers exhibit at these shows, while attendees include distributors, wholesalers, commercial and residential cleaning contractors, and facility management professionals, plus associated audiences such as manufacturers' representatives, manufacturers of raw materials and software that serve the cleaning industry, and attendees from ancillary industries such as food service, office products, health care, hospitality, and education (K-12 and higher education).
CBE is a trade show within a trade show, in that it will serve the needs of the commercial cleaning industry, while being part of the National Facilities Management & Technology (NFMT) show. CBE offers exhibit opportunities for manufacturers and distributors. The education, trade show, and networking opportunities are intended solely for facility service providers (building service contractors and facility management professionals) across industry segments such as commercial, health care, government, hospitality, food service, industrial and education, in addition to the traditional cleaning and maintenance market segment.
Which regions does this show serve?
The location of the CBE show in Baltimore, MD, will tend to attract the end-users in the commercial cleaning industry from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, although NFMT is a show on a national scale, and therefore NFMT and CBE will draw facility service, manufacturing, and distribution audiences nationally.
Manufacturers, distributors and some wholesalers mainly from all over North America. View the business types represented at CBE. To exhibit, click here.
Attendees will include principals from building service contractor firms, in-house cleaning managers, executive housekeepers, and facility managers from commercial, health care, hospitality, food service, education, industrial, and government market segments. Learn more and sign up for updates.
What education and networking opportunities does CBE offer?
CBE offers a focused, complimentary education conference and networking opportunities for building service contractors, in-house cleaning managers, executive housekeepers, and facility executives across key market segments. Attendees can also avail of certification workshops presented by ISSA's Cleaning Management Institute for a fee. The education conference does not overlap the exhibit hours, allowing ample time for attendees to learn, network, and meet with manufacturers and suppliers on the exhibit floor.

Endocannabinoids in liver disease
Hepatology. 2011 Jan;53(1):346-55. doi: 10.1002/hep.24077.

DOI: 10.1002/hep.24077
Endocannabinoids are lipid mediators of the same cannabinoid (CB) receptors that mediate the effects of marijuana. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of CB receptors, endocannabinoids, and the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis and degradation, and it is present in both brain and peripheral tissues, including the liver. The hepatic ECS is activated in various liver diseases and contributes to the underlying pathologies. In patients with cirrhosis of various etiologies, the activation of vascular and cardiac CB(1) receptors by macrophage-derived and platelet-derived endocannabinoids contributes to the vasodilated state and cardiomyopathy, which can be reversed by CB(1) blockade. In mouse models of liver fibrosis, the activation of CB(1) receptors on hepatic stellate cells is fibrogenic, and CB(1) blockade slows the progression of fibrosis. Fatty liver induced by a high-fat diet or chronic alcohol feeding depends on the activation of peripheral receptors, including hepatic CB(1) receptors, which also contribute to insulin resistance and dyslipidemias. Although the documented therapeutic potential of CB(1) blockade is limited by neuropsychiatric side effects, these may be mitigated by using novel, peripherally restricted CB(1) antagonists.

Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance's new report explains why rich donors give
The arts nonprofit's latest research reveals that high-net-worth individuals respond to meaningful personal engagement — plus, more staff diversity could mean more cash.

There's likely still buzz in your ears about the formidable #Beychella, aka Beyonce's takeover at Cali music festival Coachella. There was a marching band, a sisters' dance off with Solange and even a Destiny's Child reunion. What a time to be alive.
Somewhat less discussed, however, is the $100,000 scholarship donation the pop star made to several HBCUs (historically Black colleges and universities) on behalf of her BeyGOOD initiative, which will support four $25,000 scholarships — a potential game changer for the receiving students.
The power of the individual donor in philanthropy is evident, but there is still much to be learned.
Nonprofit arts membership org Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (GPCA) recently released a report titled "Beyond the Check: A Roadmap for Engaging Individual Donors." Made possible by support from the Wyncote Foundation, the report details what inspires donors classified as high-net-worth (HNW) individuals (defined by the Economist as persons having investable assets valued over $1 million) to give to arts and culture, and how orgs can be better at connecting with them.
Check out the report
A previous GPCA report published in 2015 revealed that "individual giving to arts and culture nationally was down 9.7% from 2009-2012 – and in our region, it was down 12.7%," prompting the organization to examine what motivated the people behind those numbers.
GPCA's new research "shows that the key to success in cultivating individual donors is showing an organization's social impact on the communities it serves, from children to the elderly, from healthcare to schools and everything in between," said President Maud Lyon in a press release. "Donors who see the arts as a solution to a community's needs give more and more often."
The research report, informed by an assemblage of wealth advisors and fundraising pros led by marketing research consultancy The Melior Group, consists of three parts: a literature review of national trends to supplement the prime data of survey results and interviews; the results from a survey sent to existing donors to GPCA's member orgs; and 18 comprehensive interviews with local HNW philanthropists — 13 of whom don't significantly support arts and culture.
Kristin Vinh, strategic communications manager for GPCA, said she feels that the interviews with non-arts donors reveal tremendous potential.
"They create an opportunity for us to address some of the misperceptions we heard, especially around the arts being fully funded (they're not) and having little social or community impact (they have a lot)," said Vinh in an email. "Also, these individuals said that they would be interested in supporting the arts, when presented in alignment with their passions."
Some key themes include:
HNW LGBTQ donors not only support the arts and culture sector at a higher rate (56 percent supporting, versus 30 percent of non-LGBTQ donors), but the research indicates that the LGBTQ community is generally more deliberate and shrewd about their giving.
Donors want to contribute more than just money. Specifically, millennial donors feel that giving their time and expertise makes their philanthropy significantly more fulfilling.
A lack of diversity amongst nonprofit and fundraising professionals means a solid portion of potential donors are being neglected: donors of color. Studies show that donors of various ethnic backgrounds may operate outside of conventional philanthropic systems, and would give more, if only they were included in the conversation.
In a perfect world, we would all be getting checks from Beyonce, no questions asked. But because we're not, the report also presents a series of recommendations for nonprofits to consider when navigating HNW donors, including:
Venn diagram it up — Consider the social causes that are important to your donors, identify where your work and those causes intersect, and prioritize those intersections.
Diversify — In your fundraising staff, and subsequently (via strategic outreach), in your donor pool.
Be transparent — Donors love to follow exactly where the money goes, and knowing exactly who's in charge.

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
Why the government is proposing to intervene;
The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.


There are many versions of the story of Faust, who trades his soul with the Devil for youthand power, but Gounod's opera remains one of the most constantly enthralling. Michael Fabiano stars as Faust, with Diana Damrau as his beloved Marguerite and Erwin Schrott asthe diabolical Méphistophélès. Virtuoso leadingroles, a large chorus, sensational sets, balle tand an ecstatic finale make this the epitome of theatrical spectacle – the lavish scale of French grand opera is wonderfully in evidence in this production by David McVicar, set in 1870s Paris. Above all, the music includes several of popularopera's most recognizable numbers, performedby a cast of great international singers and the Royal Opera Chorus.

Christie Administration Marks Grand Opening of Freedom Village in Paterson
Emike Omogbai
70 Units of Affordable Rental Housing are Available for Seniors 62 and Older
PATERSON, NJ – New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director, Anthony Marchetta, recently joined local officials, HUD representatives, Paterson Housing Authority executive and representatives of Pennrose Properties, LLC, to celebrate the grand opening of Freedom Village, a 70-unit affordable rental community for 62 and older seniors in Paterson, Passaic County. The HMFA, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), awarded the unique redevelopment project federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) that have generated approximately $14.5 million in private equity.
"DCA is committed to providing quality affordable housing as the foundation for improving New Jersey's communities," said DCA Commissioner Charles Richman, who also serves as Chairman of the HMFA board. "This investment not only brings underutilized properties back to productive use, but creates housing opportunities that will make a real difference in the lives of Paterson's senior citizens."
The redevelopment project involved the revitalization of approximately 12 acres of land which was formerly the Alexander Hamilton Public Housing Project, it also included the demolition of 2.3 acre site where an old brewery and a onetime dye factory once stood. Freedom Village, a fully gated senior community is a single four story building with 70 one-bedroom apartments which provide an open floor plan design and large windows to allow for plenty of natural light. The apartment building is conveniently located near public transportation and offers amenities such as an on-site fitness center, a community room, onsite management and maintenance offices and laundry facilities through the building.
All units are affordable to seniors 62 or older earning 60% or less than the Area Median Income (AMI), with the five set aside units available to homeless elderly earning 20% AMI. Supportive services for the homeless elderly population will be provided through PennReach to assist them to live independently.
"Freedom Village redevelopment fulfills HMFA's mission to promote construction and rehabilitation of rental housing, advance the growth and development of municipalities, and contribute the quality of life of older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those with special housing needs," said HMFA Executive Director Marchetta. "We are so proud to have provided the capital financing that enabled the development of this project, which provides residents with access to safe, decent, affordable housing while contributing to the local and state economy."
The project, which cost approximately $17.5 million to develop, not only provides necessary affordable housing opportunities for seniors in New Jersey, but also has a positive economic impact on the greater Passaic County community.
"Freedom Village is another great example of how the Low Income Tax Credit program plays a critical role in transforming neighborhoods and cities," said Timothy I. Henkel, senior vice president of Pennrose Properties, LLC. "The seniors that will soon call this community their home will be proud to have living accommodations of this quality and caliber that doesn't currently exist in Paterson."
HMFA estimates that the project has generated approximately $28 million in one-time economic output, defined as the total value of industry production, such as sales and business revenues. During construction, the project supported approximately 166 direct and indirect/induced full-time equivalent jobs, and approximately $1 million in state and local taxes. Now completed, the project will continue to add value to the community by providing approximately $3 million in ongoing economic output, 17 direct and indirect/induced full-time equivalent jobs, and approximately $175,000 in state and local taxes annually.
Economic Impact Analysis figures were estimated using multipliers derived from a 2013 study entitled "Economic and Fiscal Impacts of the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency's Investment in Affordable Housing," conducted by HR&A Advisors, Inc., a real estate and economic development consulting firm.
Other funding sources for the development of the Freedom Village include $1.1million in HOPE VI funds and $1.1 million in Replacement Housing Factor from the Housing Authority of the City of Paterson.
Annually, states are allocated low-income housing tax credits by the federal government on a per-capita basis. HMFA, as the administrator of the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program in New Jersey, allocates approximately $20 million in 9% credits annually, which generates over $190 million in equity for the development of affordable housing in the State. Freedom Village was awarded the extremely competitive 9% LIHTCs from the 2013 non-Sandy Senior Cycle that provided close to 79 percent of the funding.

Jason Statham's turn for a Kim Kardashian burn

It's Jason Statham's turn to step up to the Kim Kardashian bashing plate! Did the actor hit a burn out of the park, as his fellow stars have in recent weeks?
Related story Kim Kardashian Is Reportedly 'Very Hurt' By Kanye West's Nanny Accusations
What does Jason Statham think of Kim Kardashian and the rest of the clan? In light of Daniel Craig and Jon Hamm's digs at the first family of reality television, Details magazine wanted to find out.
Jason Statham, pictured here with Victoria's Secret model and girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is known to many as the king of action films. The 44-year-old's name is synonymous with hard-hitting films, and a preference for doing his own stunts. So does that make his image a brand that needs tending and management by a team of publicists?
After recent comments on the Kardashians made by Jon Hamm and others, Details magazine asked if Jason Statham also considers himself a brand, as the Kardashians are. Not pulling any punches, he replied, "F*** no, why should I?"
When asked if he believes people seeing earnings upwards of $30 million a film are a "brand in need of management," Statham replied, "F*** 'em. Kim Kardashian's a brand."
Apparently plenty happy to leave the worries of keeping an image in check to the Kardashian family and other high profile stars with a team of personnel, Jason Statham went on to share how his past as a street hustler in South London prepared him for Hollywood.
"See, it's that necessity for a bargain, that relentless thirst for a discount, that let me create the illusion," he shared, Page Six reports. "That's what we played on, and, you know, that's all I ever really knew… So much of this industry is buried in bulls***. You're pretending to be something onscreen, fine. But it's also the way it plays out here, every day. 'Yeah, we love you, can't wait to put you in a movie.' It's f***ing bulls***."
"Not to be entirely negative, mind you, because there's so much talent here, so many people that are righteous," he added, softening slightly for half a moment. "But believe me, there's so much that ain't, and you see that coming in so thick. I did it for a living. I see it before it enters the room. And usually I know just to point my compass elsewhere."
Presumably, though Jason Statham passed on the opportunity to diss the Kardashian empire as his fellow actors have, that direction isn't toward reality television.
Funny how the more image-conscious stars seem to be open to bashing the Kardashians, and yet loose-lipped Jason Statham passes on the chance to rant, isn't it?

Washington Times: 5 Questions with John Allison
5.11.2012 Article, Careers, Faculty News, General, Leadership
DECKER: 5 Questions with BB&T's John Allison
'It's easier for government to control a few large institutions'
Reposted from Washington Times
John A. Allison is the former chairman and CEO of BB&T Corporation, where he started working in 1971. Under Mr. Allison's leadership, BB&T grew from $4.5 billion in assets to $152 billion, becoming America's 10th largest financial services company and earning the bank's chairman a spot on Harvard Business Review's list of top 100 most successful CEOs in the world. Currently a distinguished professor at Wake Forest University's School of Business, Mr. Allison is also a leader for Job Creators Alliance, a group of entrepreneurs who promote pro-growth policies to support small business. You can find out more at jobcreatorsalliance.org.
Decker: You told me you couldn't create your company in today's environment. That's quite a startling statement about such a successful business. Why not?
Allison: BB&T grew through local decision-making and personalized service focused on small businesses and the middle market. The current regulatory environment not only imposes extraordinary cost on smaller financial institutions, it makes it difficult to treat each customer as a special individual. Personalized service is now considered by the regulators to be "disparate" treatment. Small-business lending is part science and part art. It is extraordinarily difficult to execute a personalized value proposition with bank examiners micromanaging every decision.
Decker: Banks are used as whipping boys to impute blame for the collapse of the housing market, but government played a central role in the mortgage crisis. Can you explain how Washington intervention manipulated the market with such disastrous results?
Allison: Government policy is the primary cause of the financial crisis. The Federal Reserve "printed" too much money in the early 2000s to avoid a mild recession, which led to a massive misinvestment. The misinvestment was focused in the housing market due to the affordable housing (subprime) lending policies imposed by Congress on the giant Government Sponsored Enterprises (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae), which would never have existed in a free market. When Freddie and Fannie failed, they owed $5.5 trillion and had $2 trillion in subprime loans. Because Freddie/Fannie had such a dominate share of home-mortgage lending in the United States (75 percent), they drove down the lending standards for the whole industry.
Decker: Government regulation is spurring a massive consolidation in the financial-services industry in which some institutions are deemed "too big to fail." Doesn't this empower the federal bureaucracy more than ever? What are the consequences of such a centralizing dynamic in this important sector?
Allison: If you want to centrally manage an economy, control the allocation of capital. Dodd-Frank is a dramatic move toward statism (i.e., crony socialism) as government bureaucrats can practically decide which industries, companies and consumers have available credit. Dodd-Frank encourages more consolidation in the banking industry and instead of eliminating "too big to fail," makes this practice a permanent public policy. It is easier for the centralized government authorities to control a few large institutions than many small companies.
Decker: As it stands, Obamacare will foist untold costs onto the backs of U.S. businesses and taxpayers. There is a debate over whether it can be fixed by tinkering with some elements of it while keeping large chunks of the law. What's your view of this policy and the greater context of the expanding dependency state in this country in relation to national competitiveness?
Allison: Obamacare should be completely repealed. It will materially raise health care costs and result in federal administrators rationing care. We need to totally privatize medical care for those under 45, which will re-introduce price competition into medicine. It is important to realize that when Medicare (the predecessor to Obamacare) was introduced, the U.S. health care system was far more efficient and at least as fair as today. The health care system had not failed. Medicare was introduced to "buy" votes for the Democratic Party, as the first Medicare participants received a huge subsidy and voted accordingly. Unless there is a radical overhaul, Medicare/Medicaid/Obamacare will ultimately bankrupt the United States. (We will need to continue to subsidize current Medicare participants and those over 45 who are locked into the system.)
Decker: The Obama administration talks an awful lot about an economic recovery, yet the unemployment rate is still high, record numbers of Americans are on food stamps and the national debt continues to mount. What does such an anemic recovery say about the real state of our economy?
Allison: This is the slowest recovery in U.S. history. We have almost 5 million less jobs than when the recession began, despite running massive government deficits. Destructive public policy is the cause of this failed recovery. There has been a massive increase in regulatory oversight reducing productivity gains and stifling innovation. Also, business leaders know our current fiscal policies are unsustainable and yet there is not a meaningful plan to deal with this issue. While businessmen do not want to personally pay higher taxes, at a deeper level, they know that increasing taxes on millionaires is not a serious solution to our massive deficits. They want to see a credible plan to radically reduce government expenditures and roll back the regulatory state, thereby returning the U.S. government to financial stability. Entrepreneurs want a return to limited government, individual rights and free markets. Until they see this trend, business leaders, who are the job creators, will be hesitant to invest.

Nokia phone deals
5 reasons to buy the Nokia 7.1
Pocket-lint Promotion · 9 November 2018
When you're choosing a new smartphone, what do you look for? Design? An advanced camera? The latest Nokia delivers the goods, and at a strong price. Here are five reasons to buy the Nokia 7.1
Reasons to buy the Nokia 7.1 with Carphone Warehouse
When we checked out the Nokia 7.1 at the launch we said that it's got a "super screen and premium design," with "little to dislike about the Nokia 7.1." Here are five reasons to get the phone today:
1. It has the latest Android software
Nokia uses Android One, which means that it has a pure version of the Android operating software with no bloatware or weirdly different apps. The camera app is about the only app that isn't standard Android. The other thing about Android One is that any phone that features it is guaranteed to receive two years' of updates and three years' of security patches. What's more, it's likely to receive them very quickly: the Nokia 7.1 is one of the first to upgrade to the latest Android Pie software. Android One also makes it especially easy to move to this phone from another brand.
2. It's tremendous value
You get an awful lot for your money. Along with reasonable storage capacity and active memory, there is an attractive, bright screen and twin cameras, as we'll see below. The Nokia 7.1 includes features such as fast charging which means that half an hour connected to the charger will give you around 50 per cent battery strength. The processor is a decent speed, so the phone is fast and responsive. Oh, and it has a regular 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike some phones!
3. It has a large, attractive screen
The 5.84-inch LCD screen is bright and appealing, not least because it's pretty high-resolution, way more than many flagship phones, in fact. The display doesn't quite cover the entire front of the phone but thanks to a notch where the camera sits, it stretches right to the top of the handset. It only stops at the bottom to allow for a space large enough to fit the Nokia logo. It's an HDR screen, too, which means that watching some video looks especially good, like Netflix HDR content, for instance. It also makes the phone look good when you're playing games.
4. It has dual rear cameras made in conjunction with Zeiss
It's hard to beat a company like Zeiss when it comes to smartphone cameras and Nokia has teamed with Zeiss for years. So, it's good to see a 12MP sensor backed up by a 5MP one, able to deliver strong photographic results in a range of lighting situations. It includes photographic effects like bokeh, where your subject is in sharp focus and the background charmingly blurred. It also has strong HDR capabilities, where you can see great detail in a bright sky and dark shadows at the same time. And Nokia has a special extra called Dual-Sight where you can combine images from front and back cameras at the same time - great for recording a gig and your reaction at the same time.
5. It has a high-end design (for that less than high-end price)
Nokia is routinely good at stylish, upmarket design. That's certainly the case here with its glossy back and chamfered edges that feel as smooth and attractive as they look and mean there are no sharp surfaces to be found on the handset. The edge of the phone is perfectly colour-matched to the back, but has a matte finish. And front and back meet in a quietly gleaming strip of aluminium. On the rear, the cameras, flash, fingerprint sensor and Nokia logo are all perfectly lined up. Incidentally, unlike some phones, you won't accidentally press the camera lens instead of the fingerprint sensor because of the placement of each, and the fact that the camera is raised.

Most Diverse UK Parliament - Or is it?
It was one of the bruising general elections and that with the Brexit mixture made it a toxic concoction. The Labour Party in particular, antagonised the British Indian community with its stand on Kashmir.
Is Corbyn playing 'divisive politics' with British Indians?
Jeremy Corbyn has always courted controversy. He's cloaked himself under the veil of justice, human rights and fighting for the underdog. But has he pushed a step too far with the British Indian community, who this year feel betrayed by a political party which like most immigrant communities, saw themselves as naturally aligned to the Labour Party?
Lord Paul
The philanthropic gift by Lord Paul is in memory of his daughter Ambika who died of leukaemia. A similar donation of £1 million was made to the London Zoo in 1994 by Lord Paul. The Children's Zoo is named after Ambika.
The CB brand name
His full name is Chandrakant Babubhai Patel, but he is endearingly known as CB Patel. The initials 'CB' is synonymous with Asian Media Publications, entrepreneurship,
