3 types of workplace accidents are responsible for almost 70% of serious injury and disorder claims.
Most Australians feel safe at work, until they get into an accident and are forced to stop working and earn a living… or until their business is forced to pay thousands of dollars in fines.
The inescapable truth is Australians fall ill and become injured (or worse) because of work related injuries and accidents everyday. There were more than 531,000 injuries and diseases in the workplace in 2014 alone!
This is a massive number since these common accidents at the workplace can leave you disabled, force you to change careers, pay massive fines, or worse: death.
Many of the top work related injuries are not unique to industries like mining or construction anymore. Even office workers, school teachers, community carers, and other professionals are now at risk of a wide range of workplace safety incidents.
Don't let the next victim be you and your workplace.
So which accidents, injuries, and diseases should you be aware of?
Check out the list of the most common safety incidents below based on the latest work related injury statistics and learn how to prevent accidents in your workplace.
Does your work force you to stay in the same position, repeat a specific movement, or manually handle objects everyday?
If yes, you and your staff may be at risk of developing a muscle or skeletal disorder.
• Manually lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling objects – Do you often transport products or equipment?
• Constant bending and turning – Do you often reach for and move around objects?
• Working in small, cramped, or poorly designed spaces – Is your office desk and chair too high or too low?
• Not changing positions – Are you sitting down or standing up most of the day?
• Repeating movements – Do you use a computer mouse for several hours straight?
Have you ever noticed cables or tools left lying around or wet or polished floors in your workplace?
If yes, you could be one of the thousands of Australians that get injured every year because of tripping.
This everyday incident alone is responsible for more than 26,000 serious injury claims! In fact, more than 1 out of every 5 claims is the direct result of falling from the same level, such as slipping on the floor or catching your foot on a loose object.
Do you often feel overly pressured at work or have witnessed or even been a victim of bullying or harassment?
If yes, you may be at risk of developing a mental or even physical disorder that can prevent you from going to work.
In Australia, work-related mental stress is responsible for the most expensive compensation claims because they often involve long periods of absence. This lost productivity is estimated to cost Australian businesses more than $10 billion each year!
Most Australians only realise how unsafe their workplace is when it's too late. Workplace safety statistics show us that many accidents and injuries today are caused by everyday objects and events.
Clicking away on your mouse, moving equipment around, and leaving cables lying around may seem harmless, but the disorders and diseases they can cause ruin lives and careers if you are not careful.
When combined, muscular stress, falls and trips, and mental stress are responsible for almost 70% of all serious claims for work-related injuries and diseases.
Thankfully, these risks and accidents can be identified and controlled through safety management systems.
If your workplace does not have its own Safety Officer or WHS Representative to create these systems, encourage other employees to take up workplace safety training courses or consider taking one up yourself.
If you are unsure of how to respond or report a health and safety concern, visit your local WorkSafe website.
the blog is very useful, interesting and informative. thank you for sharing the blog with us. keep on updating.
I just previewed this blog page which is very amazing and informative. This article describes about how you can prevent accidents into your common workplace. Therefore, this above article will help us to find complete description about accidents, injuries and other activities. Thanks for sharing this article with us.
We get exactly the same kind of issues over here in the UK. I love the blog and this article is excellent.
An amazing article! I came across it just when I needed it. thanks so much for posting.

Q: How to set/get bit patterns efficiently in C# Quite often when using hardware interfaces you'll have to set groups of bits or set them without changing the rest of the bits. The interface description says something like:
you get a System.UINT32, bit 0 is set if available; bits 1..7 mean the minimum value; bits 8..14 is the maximum value; bits 15..17 is the threshold, etc.
I have to do this for a lot of values, each with their own start and stop bits.
That's why I'd like to create a class that can convert the values (start bit; stop bit; raw UINT32 value) into the value it represents, and back.
So something like:
class RawParameterInterpreter
{
    public int StartBit {get; set;}    // counting from 0..31
    public int StopBit {get; set;}     // counting from 0..31

    Uint32 ExtractParameterValue(Uint32 rawValue);
    Uint32 InsertParameterValueToRawValue(Uint32 parameterValue,
        Uint32 rawValue);
}

I understand the part with handling the bits:
// example bits 4..7:
extract parameter from raw value: (rawvalue & 0x000000F0) >> startbit;
insert parameter into raw: (parameter << startbit) | (rawValue & 0xFFFFFF0F)

The problem is, how to initialize the 0x000000F0 and 0xFFFFFF0F from values startBit and endBit? Is there a general method to calculate these values?
I would use something like this
Uint32 bitPattern = 0;
for (int bitNr = startBit; bitNr <= stopBit; ++bitNr)
{
    bitPattern = bitPattern << 2 + 1;
}
bitPattern = bitPattern << startBit;

I know the class System.Collections.BitArray. This would make it even easier to set the bits, but how to convert the BitArray back to Uint32?
So question: what is the best method for this?

A: Well, your question is very general but,
You could use an enum with a Flags attribute.
[Flags]
public enum BitPattern
{
    Start = 1,
    Stop = 1 << 31
}

Seven Signs You're Living the 19th Century Version of "The Hangover"
"I did what last night?"
Most of us have asked this question after waking up, heads pounding and stomachs churning, following a night out. No judgement here. Thankfully, few have stories quite as epic as that portrayed in the popular 2009 film "The Hangover." However, more than a century before four guys walked into a Las Vegas hotel for a bachelor party and walked out with a tiger, a baby and a night of missing memories, two New Yorkers had already beat them to it.
Well, maybe not the part about the tiger. Or the baby. But thanks to the New York Evening World's trademark sensationalized reporting, we know there were several hours unaccounted for, plus an impromptu wedding, way back in 1893. They're just lucky digital cameras weren't around to capture the mayhem for posterity and/or blackmail.
What started out as a fun jaunt quickly devolved into a series of complications that would strike fear into the heart of anyone heading to a boozy bachelor party. Without further ado, here are seven signs your life is the missing prequel to "The Hangover:"
You head to Atlantic City for a night out with your bestie. According to the New York Evening World, our protagonist, Harry Squires, was accompanied by one Albert Lehman to Atlantic City, presumably for a night of carousing. Why Atlantic City instead of Las Vegas? Maybe Harry was worried the desert heat would dry out his skin. Perhaps he was deathly afraid of rattle snakes. Or, it might be because Las Vegas wouldn't exist for another twelve years.
Atlantic City in 1910, from the Library of Congress.
You bear a passing resemblance to Bradley Cooper. The New York Evening World described Harry as "an attractive looking young fellow, twenty-three years of age, of light complexion" with "a small blond mustache." Close enough.
You use an alias. Our friend Harry was also known to go by H. W. Cromwell. Maybe it had something to do with the stolen bicycle.
You steal a bicycle. A night of fun might not have been all Harry was after in Atlantic City. Maybe he was searching for a fresh start after being accused of stealing a bicycle in New York. A budding entrepreneur, he allegedly sold it in Atlantic City.
Your marriage doesn't last as long as Britney Spears'. Even though Elvis chapels weren't yet in existence, according to Harry, "while intoxicated Lehman induced him to marry Miss Florence Smith of Philadelphia. He says he met Miss Smith at Snyder's Hotel in Atlantic City, and after the marriage ceremony lived with her but one day." Albert sounds like the kind of friend who always takes a practical joke too far.
You skip out on your hotel bill. While the New York Evening World didn't mention if Harry sprang for the honeymoon suite at Snyder's Hotel, whatever his accommodations, he admitted to leaving town in a hurry because he couldn't afford them. His bill? $45. If that doesn't sound like much, consider that in today's dollars, it's a charge of more than $1,200. He should be grateful the hotel proprietor didn't take a page from "The Hangover" and set gangsters on him.
You're arrested on a wood schooner at Tuckahoe. Need I say more?
Still, there's at least one striking difference from the film series: Unlike "The Hangover" Wolfpack, the experience did not solidify Harry and Albert's friendship:
From the New York Evening World, July 15, 1893.
Speaking of Albert, the article reports that his father swooped in and whisked him back to New York. He wasn't the only one to leave town. As for Mrs. Harry Squires, the New York Evening World tells us, "his bride has gone back to Philadelphia. Squires does not show any inclination to follow her." That must be the 19th-century equivalent of unfollowing your ex on Twitter.
But what about Harry? Did he beat the bicycle theft charges? Did he pay his hotel bill? Did he ever forgive Albert for being the worst wingman ever? As is often the case with the 19th-century press, we're left with more questions than answers. Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn't have a sequel in the works for this blockbuster.
Disclaimer: The modern era is far from the first to grapple with rampant "fake news." As I am neither a historian nor journalist, I make no claims about the accuracy or lack thereof of the above historical articles. I assert only that they make for a good story.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney withdrew this week from a four-way competition to lead the House Democrats' campaign arm after announcing he had been hospitalized with a bacterial infection and would miss his caucus' votes for leadership positions.
Democrats started those closed-door elections on Wednesday and wound up electing Cheri Bustos of Illinois over the two other remaining contenders on Thursday to be the next chairperson of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Maloney had asked the caucus to put off the vote because of his hospitalization, and said he would forego running if it was held in his absence.
Maloney's office had announced on Tuesday that the congressman was in New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan to get intravenous antibiotics for a persistent infection that was first diagnosed in September. His spokesman announced on Friday that Maloney had returned home to Cold Spring to continue recovering and planned to return to work in Washington next week.
Maloney had made his pitch to be DCCC chairman in a letter to his colleagues shortly after winning re-election on Nov. 6, noting that he had proven his success by unseating a Republican six years earlier and holding his seat in a district that Donald Trump won in 2016. He also pointed to his fundraising prowess and the detailed analysis he was asked to do after the 2016 elections, which he said had given him deep familiarity with the Democrats' campaign operations and reforms that needed to be made.

25 July 2012 (18:34)
Experts from the Delovoy Kvartal magazine's analytical team came up with a top list of Yekaterinburg's most influential people. The leaders were selected along eight categories: Finance, Construction & Development, Industry & Production, Retail, Business Services, Car Business, IT, and Logistics, SKB-Bank reports.
SKB-Bank Chairman of the Supervisory Board Vladimir Pukhov was declared the most influential person in the local finances. The analysts behind the rating observe that his main achievement consists in making SKB-Bank's net assets exceed 100bn RUR in 2011 and in getting the bank to expand its branch network to 200 outlets.
The rating was compiled in a few stages: first, the editor's team asked over a hundred experts from the key markets to help them with the long list of the city's most influential people. Then, the candidates were assessed by branch experts and owners and managers of businesses. The evaluation was made on a scale of one to seven. The final rating comprised people nominated for the Person of the Year Award that the magazine awards every year and people who scored over four for their contribution to and their impact on the success of their branch.

Two new bypasses could be built near Glastonbury within the next decade.
The Department for Transport (DfT) is asking local authorities across the UK to put forward suggestions of road schemes which could reduce congestion.
One bypass plan is for the south of Glastonbury and the other to relieve the nearby villages Walton and Ashcott.
Somerset County Council said the bypasses would help to improve quality of life for residents, and deliver housing and employment growth.
Up to 10 proposals will be submitted to the DfT to try to bring economic benefits and/or allow housing to come forward, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
Two options have been put forward for the Glastonbury bypass. Both begin on the A361 Edgarley Road, with the short option terminating at Bere Road and the long option linking up with the A39 at the Westway roundabout.
The Walton and Ashcott bypass would run for four miles around both villages, with the intention of removing 95% of the current traffic from the A39.
A spokesman said: "A relatively high number of collisions have taken place along the route in the past five years."
The Glastonbury bypass could cost between £40m to £70m depending on the route taken, of which at least 15% must come from the county council, while the Walton and Ashcott bypass could cost up to £90m.
The Peninsula Transport Shadow Sub-National Transport Body will meet again in June to approve the details of these proposals, which will be submitted to the DfT in July.
If both are successfully funded, both routes would begin construction in 2023 and be open to the public by 2025.


Abstract As farmers depend on irrigation, pastures and water, digital societies depend on networking infrastructures, such as the Internet and digital devices that produce and support connectivity and interaction. We argue, that what applies to critical natural resource systems (e.g. an irrigation system or fishing grounds), also applies to digital resources. This includes not only designing sustainable systems and interfaces for the digital world, but systems that require social and environmental awareness, while taking responsibility, and recognizing the gaps, limits and impacts of global-scale digital artifacts.

South America Country Report Argentina 2017
While the return to more market friendly policies has improved medium- and long-term growth prospects, the short-term outlook remains challenging.
Political situation
Head of state/government:
President Mauricio Macri (since December 2015)
Government type:
43.6 million (est.)
A reform-minded president in power, but obstacles remain
Since his inauguration in December 2015 President Mauricio Macri has addressed the important economic issues left by the former government (e.g. debt default and highly interventionist policies) by cutting energy subsidies, abolishing export taxes, lifting capital and currency controls and floating the (overvalued) Argentinian peso. In early 2016 Argentina negotiated a debt deal with remaining holdout creditors, which enabled the country to exit default and to return to international capital markets. Those measures have improved the economic relationships with the IMF, the US and Europe.
However, the government still lacks a majority in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, which means that Macri has to cooperate with the opposition in order to assure parliamentary majority for reforms. At the same time, the cut of subsidies and fiscal austerity policies have led to mass protests, and public support for economic reform has decreased, while mid-term elections are due in October 2017.
The shaky state of the economy remains
In 2016 GDP contracted by more than 2%, due to one-off effects of president Macri´s economic policy turnaround, an on-going recession in Brazil (Argentina´s main trading partner) and low commodity prices. Inflation increased to over 35% in 2016 due to a massive peso devaluation of more than 30% after the decision to float the peso and subsidy cuts. Many Argentine households were severely affected by those cuts and by sharply increased consumer prices.
Inflation is expected to decrease again in 2017 and 2018, while economic growth will return, helped by improved financial conditions after the country regained access to international capital markets and a more benign external environment. However, while peso appreciation should sustain export growth, this upswing could be severely dampened by any additional US import tariffs and any disruptions in global trade flows.
While the return to more market friendly policies has improved Argentina´s medium- and long-term growth prospects, the short-term outlook remains challenging. Fiscal consolidation is slower than anticipated due to political considerations and social pressures (see above), with annual deficits expected to remain above 5%, and with government debt rising further. The government debt structure (51% financed externally in foreign currency) makes public finances vulnerable to exchange and refinancing risks. For the time being, strong demand for Argentine debt mitigates those risks.
Argentina´s resilience to economic shocks remains limited due to continued low official reserves. Although liquidity has improved following the issuance of international bonds, it remains tight and is insufficient to cover gross external financing needs. This will keep the peso vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment. Structurally Argentina´s economy remains vulnerable due to its high dependence on commodities (agricultural products account for 50% of exports), a relatively high stock of inward portfolio capital (147% of official reserves), weak institutions, the issue of government finances and its history of debt default.
For the time being, many Argentine businesses will continue to face higher liquidity risks due to volatile credit markets, an uncertain political and economic environment, uncertainty over global bank loaning capacity, and a weak local currency, which is susceptible to further devaluations that could immediately increase debt leverage - especially for companies that hold significant foreign currency debt while generating revenues in local currency.

Truth And Pies
Berra — Truth And Pies
1627, Fire Season, Death Week
Fire Season, Probably Death Week, Fireday. A few days after the festivities. [[[s02:session-42|Session 42]]]
Morning is pretty early when Xenofos saunters to the courtyard of the palazzo. He is wearing armour and carrying his shield and spears.
Berra's voice drifts through the gateway – Ganrel is on duty and she is talking about – apparently – rocks. "But then they moved and they were something else instead… Hey! Xenofos! Hello!"
He nods friendly and walks through the gateway. Despite the early hours his eyes are lined with kohl and his beard seems to be freshly plaited.
"Hello, little cousin. Good morning Ganrel."
Berra bounces backwards a little. She is in her leather armour, unpadded, with two swords buckled on.
Ganrel nods, and turns his attention to the road once more. Berra says, "Tell you more later, if you have time – and you can tell me about you, more. Xenofos, Ganrel… well, anyhow. You're looking good."
"Were you coming to see Varanis?" Scholar asks.
"I was coming to see who was around. Invite you out for a walk, maybe. I was about to send in. Only Ganrel was here and some people on the wall-gate said to bring their greetings to him." She is tanned by the Esrolian sun, her hair a well-cleaned mess, and she looks happy.
"I was just leaving, as you see." he answers "But if you and I are going to same direction I would enjoy your company."
Berra shrugs. "Not going anywhere else." She puts her helmet on. "Want me on your right, or am I for pleasure?"
Ganrel keeps a very straight face. Maybe he didn't hear the Humakti joking about mistresshood.
He looks at her. "You walk where you want, like you always do? I am not expecting to run into a fight, though."
Berra manages to stay still long enough to make a decision. Protectively, or just habitually, she falls in on the right. "'Kay. I guess you don't want to run, or go by the roof ways?"
He shakes his head. "Not really. With the kit that is possible, but not really comfortable. And running man in full panoply could alarm people unnecessarily."
"Some other time?" She stays at his pace, mostly attached to the ground now, and lets him set the pace and the route.
"Maybe? Not the rooftops." He scans the road from beneath his helmet and the green feathers sway from side to side.1Both pass Scan. Both are being warriors.
"We can start you off with maybe really high kerb stones," Berra says soothingly.
He glances at her and smiles.
Berra gives him a wise nod, and a relatively slow change of subject, in that she has breathed in since the last sentence. "I guess you know we're going back to Sartar soon?"
There is some commotion on the road ahead. Issarian merchant is yelling at a delivery boy who ran into him or something.
Xenofos nods. "Varanis fate is in Sartar, I think. So I guess that is where she and I should be."
Berra glances ahead. "Not a problem, but we could go lef… uh, if you want. I'll be joining the caravan. It's too hot here."
Xenofos feels the fresh breeze of sea air and coolness of the morning, but does not contradict Berra's opinion.
"This is the road, Berra." he looks at her "Why take detours."
"Because that sounded a bit like trouble up there, but it's not a big problem. No need to run into it unless it runs into us." She looks up at him, gentle.
The delivery boy has left the merchant followed by some choice insults.
Merchant turns to walk towards Berra and Xenofos and passes them.2Berra passes Listen.
Xenofos looks ahead for the trouble.
Berra steps aside, although she keeps an eye on Xenofos as she does.
Behind them there is a frantic cry "Hey, you!?"
"YOU! Thief! Catch the thief!"
Berra steps back, turning to look at the merchant, ready to take off, just as ready to bowl Xenofos over to cover.
Merchant is yelling in shock. He has gathered the hems of his robe and is running in very undignified way back towards them.
"The thief! Catch him!"
Berra sets off at speed towards the delivery boy, the obvious target.
He is nowhere to be seen? Maybe he went into one of the houses or to one of the alleys?
There is a brief burst of speed from Berra as she tries to see down the alleyways in order, although she may or may not have her own views on wasting effort.
Xenofos follows at jogging speed.
Youth is not tarrying in two or three first ones.
Berra gives it a little further and then pulls up, looking ahead, right, even up towards the roofline. She looks annoyed.
Xenofos follows, merchant comes far behind.
Berra shakes her head as Xenofos gets closer. "No luck. I figure he used magic." She shrugs. "Could even be here still." Yes, she looks like she wants to fight someone.
He looks at her. "Could be… But if he is local urchin he would not need magic to disappear. And hardly a proper target for your sword."
"I wasn't planning to use my sword." She tries a different sort of shrug, this time shrugging off what someone thinks of her, and then she gestures helplessness to the merchant. "Sorry. Didn't see where he went."
"That rascal, that accursed follower of Eurmal, that, that thief…"
There is a sigh from Berra, a sympathetic look.
Merchant looks at Berra "If you get him and my purse, I'll reward you handsomely. Tw… a whole silver penny."
The little warrior looks around, checking out what else is in the area. "Good of you to offer. That's about the rate for an hour of my time – but I'm afraid I don't know how to. I'm not a tracker, and I don't have an alynx on me."
It is not wealthiest of neighbourhoods, but not the poorest one either. Merchant stalls of cloth merchants. Probably apartments in upper storeys. Some private houses.
"Another silver if you beat him up good when you catch him." he offers. "I am Dearno. I am wholeseller of fish, my shop is at side of the Fishmarket."
Xenofos looks at the man quietly.
"What part of 'no' didn't you get?" Berra smiles. "I can't. Sorry for your loss. But you'd be ill advised to hire me for this." She bows a little, the only evidence of annoyance a tiny bulge in the muscle of her jaw. After she finished talking, she gritted her teeth.
Xenofos turns to walk to direction they were originally going. The fishwholesalesman is left on the street to mourn his loss.
Berra traipses after Xenofos, then catches up, and after a moment it is plain she is smiling again. "I believe my price at the Boldhome Temple is five Lunars a day, depending on danger." She carefully does not face backwards while smiling, looking entirely professional as she casts about for further potential enemies.
He shrugs.
"What?" Maybe Berra wanted to hear something in return.3Berra fails listen, and does not hear the start of trouble behind.
"I… " There is a shriek from behind Xenofos and Berra.
Merchant is shouting, but this time it is mixed with a scream from a youth and racket of a large bronze tray hitting the cobblestones.
Berra turns to look, feet scraping on the stones. Now she looks really ready for action.
Merchant is holding a youth by his tunic front and pushing him towards the wall.
Berra strides forwards, and as she does, breathes in, breathes out, and calls on Humakt.4Berra casts Detect Truth.
"You rascal, give it back!" despite being slow the merchant is way stronger then the youth he is pummeling to the wall.
A pouch of coins falls to the street. Littered with pies.
Berra reaches down to scoop it up, left-handed, on her way towards the fight. 'Fight'. Potential beating.
"I did nothing wrong!" screams the youth trying to avoid being slapped around.
"You stole my purse, you criminal"
"No, I did not."
Both seem to be believing they speak the truth…
Berra shoves her self into that argument, physically. Back to the merchant, protective around the young man. She does this, or at least tries to, by going around him to his right, and then cutting in left.
Xenofos follows to place of the loud argument.
Merchants knuckles go over Berra's head as he pulls his hand back up for another slap. Youth is trying to huddle down to protect his face.
Berra says, "HE DIDN'T DO IT!" and stands as tall as she can, protective over the young man. Her hands are up beside her head – the left has a purse in it, which could very well be a problem.
"You did not take the job, get out of my way." merchant yells.
"Nope. He didn't do it. Humakt says so." Berra stays firmly where she is.
Heads are peeking out of windows and people are looking through doorways.
"This is not Sartar, you can't just barge in and protect thieves…"
"Not a thief. I can see lies, and he says he didn't." Berra stays where she is, not threatening anyone, except maybe the young man by accident.
"Let go of the boy!" shouts someone. "Beat the thief! " another.
"Fucksake," Berra mutters under her breath.
"Are you going to let the warriors tell you what to do!" shouts another voice.
Xenofos has appeared on the other side of the merchant.
"Have you no shame beating the baker's boy like that you brute!" a voice from a window.
Berra says, "If I have to draw, then you run. I'll put magic on you if I have to." She moves a tiny bit back, ready to turn if necessary, still getting in the way of the merchant.
"I would listen to her, if I were you" Xenofos says to merchant in a conversational tone.
Berra flexes out her shoulders. Violence, always an option, looks like it is being put at #2 on the list. First, though, she casts spirit magic – a little shimmer comes over her. Protection.
Merchant is apparently feeling crowded between two armed people and lets go of the urchin, taking a step back.
Berra turns, and to someone who knows her, she looks dangerous. Someone who does not would only see a small warrior, not even dressed in bronze. To Xenofos, however, it is plain that she is working through possibilities of the battlefield. What she does, though, is ask, "Is this yours?" and hold up the purse. Her voice is flat, overly calm.
Merchant looks at the small dusty pouch holding maybe a score of coins and shakes his head.
A crowd is gathering around leaving some distance as to not be on the spear range.
"When did you last know you had it?" Berra keeps his attention now she has it.
"When I was in that shop" he points at a store close by behind the gathering crowd. "Just before this rascal bumped into me"
Berra calls out, "You there! Go get the owner." She holds out the purse towards Xenofos. "Check how much is in there." Only a moment is spent not looking for the merchant, as she finds someone suitable to call the merchant out.
Xenofos looks into the pouch, while youth is looking at him with distrust. "Copper, not much. Maybe two or three silverpennies worth."
Berra look to see if the owner of the shop has come out yet, and then back to the merchant. "Humakt says he tells the truth."
Crowd is murmuring. You hear snippets -Servers the greedy bastard right, -Urchin is guilty no doubt, why are the warriors meddling, – He can't just beat Irgan like that, where is the proof, – And a foreigner… , – He is a good kid, – Eurmali posing as a Humakti…, – He is no good… always in trouble.
Opinions seem to be divided, there is some shoving and voices are getting louder.
Berra calls out, "Anyone who has trouble with that, and doesn't want to find out the truth? Where's the other person who saw the purse?" And once more she looks at the merchant. "A lot of them don't like you right now. You can walk away, but if they start on us, you're not in armour."
Dearno tries to slink into the crowd, further away from all that gleaming bronze. Some jeer at him. Some look darkly at Xenofos and Berra. No one answers her directly but muttering continues.
He is given way, but also less then friendly shoves.
Berra jerks her head to the right, back the way they were going. "Irgan, was it? Time you walked away too. Careful-like."
"Can I have my money back, lady?" he looks desolately at remains of his pies.
"Yeah, and if you need me to I'll come tell your mistress what happened."
Berra keeps her eyes on the crowd, not looking at Xenofos, even.
Mob is not attacking. They make way for the boy and the two warriors as he goes to retrieve his tray.
"Would you do that, lady? She will not be happy when she hears of this…"
Berra nods to a few, trying to tone down her obvious mood. "You are not guilty, as far as Humakt believes, and you were assaulted. I know who did it." Berra looks once more to the shop. "But we should try that first, and go armed with words and armoured with truth."
Xenofos looks at her and the door of the shop with a question in his eyes.
Berra goes that way, walking at a pace slow enough to let the crowd out of the way, and make sure her new ward follows.
A middle aged man who looks like a shopkeeper is at the doorway. There is a shutter that has been lowered to form a sales table presenting the wares of this merchant, mainly linen cloths.
"Hello." Berra speaks calmly. "Have you been the only person on duty here lately?"
"Yes?" Comes an answer with a smile.
"A merchant has lost his purse. Do you remember talking to Dearno? Yellow robe, saffron trimmings, Water Rune all around his neck?" Berra keeps the slight smile she has, and lets Xenofos guard her back. Inwardly, she continues to listen for trouble.
A casual observer might think Berra is being polite. This is her calm mood over deep emotions, and while it is hard to imagine a veritable lake of annoyance, that is what Berra skates over now. Her body language is unmistakable to Xenofos, should he look – the last time she was this irritated, she had dropped her fish oil into her helmet.
"Dearno? Of course. He most certainly had his purse when he was here." Merchant smiles undaunted. "Put seven pennies of silver in there, right there inside the treshold and patted on it while walking out. Payment for this months fish in our humble household."
"Patted on it? It was on him then? He took it?" Berra just checks.
"It was on him when he walked out. " He nods. "Before the commotion. So you got the little rapscallion?"
Berra nods as if trying to take that in. Maybe she has. "To be sure, can you step outside? There's a place where you can stand where I can see that you're telling the truth. It won't take long."
He shrugs "I am telling the truth, lady. That would not change if I stood on my head. But if it makes you happy." even Berra's obvious mistrust is not making the man lose his polite and friendly demeanor.
"It's mostly because other people will ask, and I'm going to have to tell the baker what happened to her pies, and it's good to be able to say Humakt knows it was not to do you with you. It's mostly for you later, to be honest. I mean, a bit for me – I want to know the truth. But it looks like Dearno struck someone innocent, in haste." Berra stands back, looks over the crowd.
Cloth merchant steps outside looks at Berra, almost says something but just shrugs.5 For some reason he did not say out loud that he is doing it for her cute nose. Premonition? Wisdom?
"Yeah, I know. But I like to leave things tidy." If the crowd is making Berra nervous, she gives no sign of it. "I think probably, there was a cut-string in the crowd, and someone innocent got the blame, but it's good to be able to swear it was looked into. Then I can go back to the baker, then I can get on with my day."
Crowd look at Berra, murmuring is getting more displeased.
"It is all right" the clothsmerchant says waving his hand. "So where do you want me to stand?"
Berra gives him a smile. "Thanks. Just over here. Say you saw him leave with it. S'all we need."
"I saw Dearno leave my shop with his purse. I saw him collide with that boy. I did not see the boy taking Dearno's purse." he says.
"Thanks. Have a good day." Berra then turns to the crowd, cups her hands, and calls out, "Looks like an unknown cut-stringer! Nobody is lying here!"
" Now when that is sorted, can I interest you in some of my wares? A fine linen shift is just the thing to wick the sweat when worn under armour, and some of my linens would be just the cloth for such garments." Crowd starts to disperse. There is some muttering about foreigners and nobs. Humaktis just throwing the weight of their swords is mentioned, but source can not be pinpointed.
Berra grins. "You know what, I could do with some more. I'm a bit short of cash, though. What's it cost for something lightweight in pale blue, about my armspan in length?"
"Now these ones are not usually dyed. They are too thin for colour to look good on them you see. Two pennies for this linen. And three if you wish hemp of the same thickness and softness." sample of cloth is pushed to Berra's hands so she can feel the quality.
Berra does not take it, but does look at the cloth. "Way too thin for what I have in mind, and I think you're probably beyond my purse for the weight I want. But I'll try to send a friend. I know someone who would like this kind of thing." Berra bows her head, regretful, and looks back to the baker's boy. "Right. Your mistress."
Merchant looks at Xenofos who shrugs and says "She found that too lightweight as fine as it may be."
Berra is on to scanning the dispersing crowd and giving attention to Irgan.
"She will throw an awful fit, lady." Irgan says desolately. "That way and right…"
"It's fine. You want to let me do the first bit?"
Youth nods with sagged shoulders.
Berra finally remembers Xenofos, having not looked that way for some time. "You can get on if you don't mind walking alone?" she suggests. "I've got to go do this."
He looks at the sky. "There is still time. I want to be at the temple at noon."
"Oh, right. That's a lot of time then." Berra follows Irgan's directions.
Xenofos looks around and follows the two.
Bakery is located on a small alley and marked with a sign of sheaf of wheat.
Berra looks inside, warrior-casual now. Her irritation looks like it has mostly ebbed away.
A smell of freshly baked bread, onions and garlic drifts from the shop. A large Esrolian woman is lifting a basket of small loaves to the counter in the front of the shop. A window with shutter lowered as a counter again.
"Hey. I'm afraid I got bad news for you – your boy Irgan just got assaulted."
"What are you saying, young woman? Irgan?" mistress of this establishement is loud.
Irgan tries to hide behind Xenofos.
"Yeah." Berra stands more square. "He just got accused falsely of theft. Humakt says he didn't do it, but a merchant he'd just crashed into thought he did. I'll stand by that."
"You stand by that?" she asks "And just who are you if I may ask?"
"Berra, Jarang's Daughter. Humakti." Berra stands proud, despite being aware she has probably never been heard of here.
She glares at Berra and past her "Irgan? What have you to say?"
Berra moves aside, politely.
"It wasn't my fault" comes answer in snivelling voice from behind Xenofos.
"He's a bit shocked. And it really wasn't his fault. He could do with a good Ernaldan meal. You know Dearno the fish-seller?" Berra takes over from someone who can't talk easily.
"Of course it was not his fault! It never is! Things just happen!" she is gathering momentum. "What would your departed mother say, if she heard you snivelling like that? Thanks Ernalda she is spared that!"
Berra crosses her arms in the doorway6We assumed we could find it; it was likely where Irgan was going in. now, looking unimpressed at the baker. "That part where you're going to look after him, shall we skip to that? You can do the shouting at me if you want."
She raises her eyebrows astonished at Berra's audacity "You have quite the nerve to try and tell me how to talk to my people under my own roof, girl! I heard who you said you are, but just who do you think you are?
"I think I'm someone who told you that your boy just got hurt, and heard you starting to shout at him." Berra could perhaps have looked a little less helpful when she said that. A touch less eager to answer truthfully.
"If that offends you girl, I suggest you step outside for I aim to continue! This is not the first time he gets into trouble and that has got to stop!" She is not actually shouting, she is just one of those people with a shrill loud voice that hurts your ears.
"Yeah. But I want you to think about your behaviour in future. You're the one making the choice to do this, and you can choose not to as well. Love is easy."
"Irgan, get in and give me the payment you got! You girl, why are you still here?"
"Because I wanted you to be angry at me, not him," Berra replies happily. "And because Dearno's the one who hit him, and I wanted you to know who was to blame."
"You are at least three pennies short, Irgan?!" she carries on ignoring Berra's answer. "How is that?!"
"Because he got hit in the face repeatedly by someone who falsely accused him of theft. You want your money, go to Dearno. Side of the fish market."
"Irgan! Go sweep the oven and ashes! You little missus and your shiny, mute decoration! Gather your bronzejunk and get lost!"
Berra bows, politely, and steps back. It is not until she is a short distance away that she looks around for Xenofos.
Xenofos is following.
"Love is easy?"
"Yeah. It's the separation which is hard. Might have mentioned it before." Berra keeps her expression politely neutral.
He nods. "I don't know if it is easy. It is good. Sometimes just happens. But it would have been better for her to show that. It was good you reminded her of that."
Berra nods. "Right. Did I mention lately I really fu… really don't like a lot about cities? That boy has no idea about his rights."
"You walked pretty rudely over the clothier's rights, demanding him to swear innocence of theft like that…" he notes.
Berra grimaces. "Yeah, but he didn't have to. I asked. Din't demand." She shrugs. "I'd have cast the spell again to get to the truth, and I wish I'd known more, but I wasn't going to force him anywhere."
"Not accepting his word? Accusation in front of his neighbours. Good thing he was more harmonious then Dearno." he looks at her sideways "I think you did not mean it that way."
"Yeah. I didn't. I just wanted to find out. He had good eyes, too. Didn't see what didn't happen."
"He told you." Xenofos shrugs. "But you wanted to be sure…"
"Yeah. Someone had had their money stolen. It doesn't matter that I don't like him. I wanted to find out what had happened."
"So did he." Xenofos says "… and did not accept the boys word when he said it was not him. His way was worse because he used violence, did not just present it like we did, carrying weapons."
"Yeah. But if a Humakti said a thing was truth, that should mean something." Berra shrugs. "Still, I'm in a good mood. No need to spoil it."
He looks at her and nods. "You did not look like your mood was good, but we can leave that topic. Any particular reason for you to be in good mood? Plans to leave Nochet?"
"Well, someone was beating up someone who wasn't able to defend themselves, probably because of a thief who had already fled. Yeah, pissed off for a moment. But no, it's because a weight got lifted from me. Something I did. It's better now." She looks genuinely happy again, the bounce already back in her step, and an easy smile on her face.
"Oh?" He looks at her "You do look happy."
"You remember the Ulerian, that Lord Rillo Hulta was writing sex-odes to?" It sounds like it belongs in the same conversation, but it could be one of her swerves.
He looks at her sideways "The one we never saw?"
"Yeah. Her slave – I sent him to the Hulta household?" That creases her brow, just for a moment.
"Yes?" Xenofos looks at her politely. "The one sent to galleys?"
"He's safe. Lord Kesten saw to it." Her eyes shine again, and from creased brow to relief takes in joy and admiration. It makes her smile like she did when she was back in the Blue Tree, meeting Haran.
Xenofos tilts his head. "I remember how upset you were about his fate. That is good news."
Berra nods, and looks around, for a moment just taking in the day and the place and the company. "I met his wife as well. Lady Serenelda, I mean. Not a slave's wife."
"I am not sure if I have ever met her." Xenofos answers.
"Curvy. I think she really cares about him but has no idea how to understand him. But then again, I only see him when he's being a warrior, so I don't either. Weird, thinking of a Humakti as a husband. Like that."
He tilts his head again and blushes slightly. "It is pretty common actually, you know. Not like it is unknown."
Berra seems unimpressed. "Yeaaaah…. So I'm going to go back to that time you asked me if I'm a better Humakti than a lot of the people who wear silk in Temple. I'll say I understand Death better than a lot of them."
"For some reason topic of marriage and Humakti has crossed my mind…" then he shrugs. "I think my example of silk wearing Humakti was Lord Eril…" After a short pause he continues "But Death is not something I even wish to understand too well. If you feel you need to discard comfort to achieve that , I suppose that is your path."
"Yeah, but I think you pointed out the Battalion as well." Berra half-smiles. "Which Temple are we going to?" She might be a little lost.
"The temple Irillo and the Noble brothers. I wish to pray at shrine of Nolerianmar."
Berra nods, and says, "I don't know the name, and I probably should. I was in a hundred, for a bit. Wanna tell me the story?"
"You of course heard the story how Irillo promised to protect Nochet and Imarja against attackers with his companions, who were the Noble brothers." Xenofos says. "Nolerianmar is patrongod of the horsemen and the Greens. A son of Yelmalio they say."
"Gotcha. Cavalry isn't really me." Berra looks around. "I joined up, people saw I was small, and a lot of them wanted to make me into a leader, instead of a warrior. Kept giving me helpful advice."
He nods. "For us it has been a family tradition. Got my firetattoo at that time. Some good times. Some bad times. Many friends."
Berra nods, falls silent, walks alongside.
"Lost quite many of them…" he adds after a while.
Berra fails to find a thief, but is happy anyhow
Both pass Scan. Both are being warriors.
Berra passes Listen.
Berra fails listen, and does not hear the start of trouble behind.
Berra casts Detect Truth.
For some reason he did not say out loud that he is doing it for her cute nose. Premonition? Wisdom?
We assumed we could find it; it was likely where Irgan was going in.

Crestofle d'Artischau Arciszewski  (lê-se: crestófli dartichô arquizósque) (Rogalin, 9 de dezembro de 1592 – Gdansk, 7 de abril de 1656) foi um militar, de origem polonesa, que serviu à Companhia Neerlandesa das Índias Ocidentais (WIC) durante as Invasões holandesas do Brasil.

Biografia
Após adquirir experiência militar durante as guerras endêmicas entre a Polônia e a Suécia, viu-se obrigado a fugir de seu país, depois de cometer um assassinato. Graças ao apoio do príncipe Radziwill, logrou estudar engenharia militar nos Países Baixos.

Contratado pela WIC, chegou ao Brasil em 1630, como capitão, e foi um dos responsáveis pela construção do Forte de Itamaracá. Após um rápido retorno às Províncias Unidas, voltou ao Brasil com a patente de coronel, subordinado apenas ao coronel Sigismundo de Schkoppe e ao Conselho Político instalado no Recife. A partir de então, contribuiu de forma decisiva nas campanhas que expandiram o domínio neerlandês na região Nordeste do Brasil entre 1634 e 1637. Conquistou o Forte do Rio Cunhaú na capitania do Rio Grande e o Forte de Santo Antônio na da Paraíba, ambos em 1634. Em seguida, realizou a sua maior proeza, ao capturar, após demorado assédio, o já lendário Arraial do Bom Jesus, em 1635. No mesmo ano, perseguindo Matias de Albuquerque que se retirava com sete mil moradores em direção à capitania da Bahia, retomou Porto Calvo. No ano seguinte, saindo do campo entrincheirado de Paripueira (ver Redutos da praia de Paripueira), nas Alagoas, bateu a coluna de D. Luís de Rojas y Borja na batalha da Mata Redonda.

Em 1637, com a chegada do conde Maurício de Nassau, que veio assumir o governo do Brasil Neerlandês, viu-se preterido e retornou à Europa. Após a derrota de Nassau diante de Salvador (1638), o polonês retornou ao Brasil com poderes especiais, que contrariavam os do governador. Os dois entraram em violento atrito, que culminou com a partida definitiva de Arciszewski do Brasil.

Após prestar novos serviços à sua pátria, em conflitos contra Cossacos e Tártaros, Arciszewski faleceu, solteiro, de causas naturais, em 1656.

Na Polônia é também conhecido por seus poemas, que versam acerca de sua vida aventureira. O seu sobrenome recebeu dos luso-brasileiros inúmeras grafias, tais como "Artichofski", "Arquichofle", "Artixof" e "Arciszewsky". No Brasil, Estanislau Fischlowitz publicou uma biografia a seu respeito, intitulada "Cristóforo Arciszewski", que, no entanto, contém alguns equívocos. É utilizado como personagem no livro Catatau de Paulo Leminski, sendo amigo do filósofo René Descartes, supostamente perdido no Brasil durante as Invasões holandesas.

ACCESS weekend seminars challenge and educate local churches to move to the next level with their current missions strategy and learn how to better care for their global workers so they may more effectively partner with them on the field. Local churches will interact with mission leaders and discover ways of raising the bar of their mission endeavors and discover realistic, implementable starting points.
ACCESS seminars help churches engage more effectively in cross-cultural work and draw on their unique positioning and resources. Whether you're building a program from the ground up or you've been involved in cross-cultural work for decades, ACCESS can help you leverage your church's resources for greater cross-cultural impact and congregational engagement. TRAIN offers these seminars in 1 or 2-day formats.
God has given people, experiences, and resources to your church to impact the nations in a particular way. Does your current missions strategy reflect the call and the gifts God has given you? At ACCESS (Assisting and Coaching Churches to Effectively Send and Sustain) weekend seminars, we'll help you evaluate your current strategies and develop structures and processes that maximize your effectiveness in cross-cultural missions.
ACCESS seminars are mobile and can be held at any location that is convenient for you. This enables more people from your church to participate and learn together. Prior to the seminar, we'll interview pastors and missions committee leaders from your church and gather background information about your current missions involvement and strategies. Using this information, we'll tailor the seminar to fit your particular goals and resources. All seminars include personalized content, interactive discussions, and practical tools for implementing what you learn. We also guide you to resources that assist with future growth.
This seminar is the foundation and pre-requisite for all other ACCESS seminars. Through "Strategy," we coach churches in defining, developing, and refining their cross-cultural missions strategies. Whether you have a longstanding missions program or you're just getting started, we can help you align your resources with the vision and gifts God has given you. During Strategy seminars, you'll discover what God has uniquely positioned your church to do and form strategies for putting that mission into action.
We believe missions agencies serve an important role in connecting cross-cultural workers with the nations they serve, and we believe the local church plays a central role in global missions. In "How to be a Sending Church," we help churches understand God's heart for the nations and His desire to work through local churches to proclaim the gospel around the world. We'll equip you to identify, encourage, and equip cross-cultural workers in your congregation and to partner effectively with their sending agencies.
More than 70% of all missionaries who come home prematurely leave the field for preventable reasons. In "How to Care for Missionaries," we equip churches to build missionary care teams that are better positioned to prevent these premature departures from happening. You'll learn how to form proactive, intentional sending teams that are aware of the hardships and realities of cross-cultural work. We'll prepare you to care for cross-cultural workers over the long haul and welcome them home when they're ready for re-entry.
Nationals know their culture and language better than anyone else, and they're capable of making a long-term investment in the places they live. How can we develop intentional, forward-looking partnerships with these believers? In "How to Partner with Nationals," we help churches develop processes that benefit everyone involved. We'll show you how to partner with local believers who are on the ground and how to steward those partnerships wisely.
More than 80% of international students who come to the US will never set foot in an American home. Many churches are eager to change those numbers, but the biggest challenge is knowing where to begin. In "Effectively Engaging Internationals," we train churches to mobilize their people to engage with the internationals who are already in their neighborhoods. Through looking at God's heart for the foreigner and the stranger among us, we'll help your church grow in their own concern for these populations and learn how to form meaningful friendships with people from other nations.
For ACCESS coaching, a team of TRAIN church coaching facilitarors comes to your church to connect with your leaders. Details about typical arrangements can be found in the preliminary questionnaire form and include information about meals and lodging. Please contact us if you have questions.
This ACCESS coaching has gone beyond my expectations. So much information and freedom to adjust and fit our personal needs where we are as a church. With the trainers having been on the field themselves, serving on teams coaching global workers, and working in church contexts, it felt like they could speak so directly with wisdom for where we find ourselves and where we want to go. Great job, A+!
I see and firmly believe now having been on the field for six months, ORIENT training greatly helped my marriage, my field expectations, and my cultural awareness. It has helped us navigate through some of our team conflict without becoming discouraged or overwhelmed. Thank you for everything!
It was so great that at TRAIN you have youth and children's tracks in ABIDE that allowed our kids to be near to us and to also have other adults pouring into their lives! We wanted to be sure our whole family could debrief, so thank you!
Honestly, probably the most crucial part of ORIENT for me were your spiritual formation topics. It was more helpful than I can say to be totally centered on God before I left for the field. It is so easy to get distracted and unfocused, and I don't know where I would be without that time at ORIENT.
ABIDE provided a training and processing opportunity that I didn't know I needed. It was a blessing to hear from and be heard by facilitators who had been where we are and could help guide us forward as we work through furlough and re-entry. Thank you!
TRAIN's ACCESS coaching was full of great material and excellent presentation. Even better than expected! You did a really good job of generating enthusiasm for missions for our leadership and our whole church. We'll be discussing and unpacking some of the strategic building blocks you gave us.
You could say that our missions team has been stuck in some of our ways for 25 to 30 years. Thank you, your ACCESS coaching helped breathe new life into our whole leadership and church.
Wow, just wow! This was one of the best and most formitive experiences of my life! Thank you TRAIN International for the amazing training!! I feel equipped and ready for the field! Also the people I met through this training are some of the most Christ-like people I have ever met! Thanks again for setting me and everyone else up for success!
At ABIDE, we were given the gift of time, listening ears and attentive hearts. The TRAIN staff had built such an intentional time for us that we could really process and unpack, the stuff we knew we needed to and some things we didn't realize until we paused long enough. The food was amazing, the setting was peaceful and really pretty, and we feel like we made connections and friends we'll take with us.
Our experience with TRAIN International has been solid. They offer quality trainings, reasonably priced, by a staff team that listen well and care deeply. We highly recommend them for the strengthening of missionaries.
As a smaller sending organization, we are very grateful to have a resource like TRAIN International for our staff preparing for a cross-cultural move. We find the in-depth trainings deeply personal. Our workers are challenged and encouraged, a definite benefit for their pre-field preparation.
We love working with TRAIN International and are happy to send our workers to their excellent trainings. Our people have received top notch training at a great price. We praise God for their ministry!

El Centro del Pueblo was established in 1974 as a non-profit community service agency for the purpose of alleviating and mitigating the negative affects of gang violence. We are dedicated to improve the quality of life for children, youth and families through prevention, intervention, and education through a coordinated range of services in Central, Northeast and South Los Angeles.
El Centro provides services for families in a culturally, ethnically and linguistically competent basis. We draw from our collaborative partners with Korean, Pilipino Chinese, and Central American and African-American families to provide services.
Incorporated as a non-profit entity under the laws of the State of California, El Centro del Pueblo's mission is to provide social services such as counseling, drug prevention, social rehabilitation, employment, outreach, education, health services, HIV/AIDS education and prevention services and youth services in an effort to improve the quality of life of the diverse communities of Los Angeles County.
Our most recent accomplishments have been our collaborative efforts in working to resolve family issues to prevent violence The Los Angeles County Department of Children's Services has recognized our collaborative efforts and has contracted with us to provide family preservation services in lieu of foster care. We have also been recognized by the Los Angeles County Probation Department for providing day-treatment and in-home services in lieu of probation camp. Our current AB90 Youth Delinquency Prevention Program was a major program participating in these efforts for over 15 years. We have worked with youth from the various rival gangs in the Central area of Los Angeles who have participated in counseling, leadership, recreation and employment skills training as well as in many of our other programs.
The primary goals of these programs are to enhance self-esteem and social adjustment skills among youth as well as reducing negative activity. Referrals are obtained from local schools, law enforcement agencies and the Los Angeles County Probation Department resulting in juvenile justice system diversion.
El Centro Del Pueblo recognizes the need to provide services in a collaborative basis with other agencies that have history and trust among the communities they serve. We have made concerted efforts to establish or participate in collaborations, networks and coalitions for community empowerment. Some of our past and current collaborating partners of our youth focus programs include Search to Involve Pilipino-Americans (S.I.P.A.), Chinatown Service Center, Elysian Valley United, Childrens Institute, Rampart Police Department – JIPP Program and Heart of L.A.
In our North Central Los Angeles Family Preservation Network, some of our past and current partner agencies include Excel Family Intervention, Jovenes Inc., Child Alliance, Koreatown Youth and Community Center (KYCC), Helping Other People Excel (H.O.P.E.) and Eggleston Youth Center.
The structure of the corporation is that the administrative responsibilities are vested in a Board of Directors composed of uncompensated volunteers from the community. The function of the Board is to provide formulation of policy, fiscal and program accountability. Authority for implementing the program is delegated by the Board of Directors to the Executive Director. The staff of the organization is bilingual and culturally sensitive, and has knowledge and experience in implementing the program mission. Our target population is represented in the composition of our Board and staff.
El Centro's work over the years with businesses, housing, zoning, marketing and other aspects of business and economic development has afforded job training and employment opportunities for the thousands of youth and adults in our of programs. We serve over 4,000 families annually with over 70 staff members and a budget of $5.5 million.
Our fiscal capability to administer grants with the City and County of Los Angeles has been proven by over thirty two years of community-based service. Our accounting procedures are in compliance with the City of Los Angeles' Controller's Office and the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller.

Clément Fayat Foundation formed
The Fayat Group has formed the Clément Fayat Foundation.
Finance & Funding / December 11, 2020 1 minute 10 seconds Read
The family-owned Fayat Group, headed by CEO Jean-Claude Fayat has established a foundation to support health, education and heritage
Clément Fayat, the founder of the group Fayat in 1957, and his sons Jean-Claude and Laurent, have come together to establish the Clément Fayat Foundation. The aim of this Foundation is to conduct or support philanthropic works and causes in three sectors: health; education; heritage.
For the health sector, the foundation will contribute to research and innovation in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases. The aim is to contribute to research and innovation, providing funding for establishments pursuing this aim, as well as establishing partnerships with research organisations and funding conferences.
The focus on education will be for training in the construction industry, providing support for people and in particular those who are most in need. This will provide support for retraining projects for group employees or their family members in the building and public works sector.
For heritage, the aim will be for the rehabilitation and renovation of historical monuments and historic buildings, both locally and nationally. In particular this will deliver support for the enhancement and restoration of built heritage and monuments.
The Clément Fayat Foundation is recognised as being in the public interest by Decree of the Interior Ministry, after examination by the Ministry departments and approval of the Council of State.
The Clément Fayat Foundation will also provide a public interest shareholding with an open-ended duration. Thanks to its shareholding status, the Clément Fayat Foundation holds a portion of Fayat Group capital. Its resources come mainly from the Group's operational activities and will guarantee the financial independence that is essential to the execution of its missions. Each employee contributes to the success of the Foundation's operations as a result. A representative of the State will oversee the proper management of the Foundation's funds. Among the 2,300 foundations of various status based in France (including public interest, corporate, university and scientific cooperation foundations), only four are public interest shareholding foundations. This is an innovative type of structure which meets the wishes of donors to ensure the longevity of the Foundation's actions, with the system of equity security endowment demonstrating this long-term engagement.
This form of stable, long-term, public interest shareholding also guarantees the independence of the Group, without affecting the management of the Group's operational activities. The Foundation is built on the values that have driven the Fayat family for more than 60 years.

THE TALIBAN RETAKE AFGHANISTAN


Wholesale club retailer Costco Wholesale Corp reported higher-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue on Thursday, helped by an increase in membership fees and an increase in sales, reports Reuters. And despite Amazon Inc's disruptive takeover of Whole Foods, Costco was able to grow comparable sales in the U.S. in September by 9 percent.
The company's membership fees, which accounted for about 72 percent of Costco's operating income in 2016, rose 13 percent to $943 million in the 17-week quarter ended Sept. 3.
Net income attributable to Costco rose to $919 million, or $2.08 per share, in the quarter, from $779 million, or $1.77 per share, a year earlier.
During a Q4 conference call, Richard Galanti, CFO and executive vice president, stated Costco is planning to open 25 net new warehouses in 2018 with about one third in international locations.
Galanti addressed investor questions about ecommerce delivery options noting that the company "has delivery options for our members and if someone chooses that route we'll be able to deliver and generate sales from it," also noting that its "brick and mortar business is as strong as it's ever been and trending in the right direction."
He noted that ecommerce activity has accelerated on the non-food side, such as appliances and apparel and is adding sundries and dry food items to ecommerce offerings.
While recognizing the growth of ecommerce, he also stated Coscto is only "scratching the surface of figuring out how to get you into our stores more often....no matter who delivers, there are people that want to go out and touch their fresh food and pick it up themselves."
Listen in on Costco's Q4 earnings conference call.

This grilled chicken recipe is easy, delicious and keto-approved. I love this recipe because it is made with only 2 ingredients. As much as I love a gourmet meal, I'm still a very busy mom! It's all about the simplicity for me, and this recipe fits the bill perfectly.
I usually make this grilled chicken recipe on Sunday when I am meal-prepping for the week. You can see how I incorporate this recipe into my meal plans here.
Step 1) Rinse chicken and lay it out on a lined baking sheet. This is what I use. Let chicken reach room temperature. As you can see, I use quite a bit of the poultry rub. I love my chicken with lots of flavor!
Step 2) Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees, depending on your grill.
Step 3) Place chicken on grill. Set timer for 15 minutes. Turn chicken over. Set timer for an additional 15 minutes.
Step 4) Remove from grill. Using a meat thermometer, check temperature to make sure its thoroughly cooked.
Step 5) Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!
I love to pair this grilled chicken with my easy green bean recipe.
This is my favorite grilled chicken recipe. It is the perfect chicken for my keto meal-prep.
Place chicken on heated grill.
Grill 15 minutes on one side.
Flip chicken over and grill an additional 15 minutes.

Marc Jacobs Net Worth is $100 Million (as of 2019)
Marc Jacobs net worth is estimated at $100 million. This man has built a brilliant career in fashion industry despite quite troubled childhood. His father died from ulcerative colitis when he was only seven and his mother went on dating and eventually marrying three different men which meant that Marc and his siblings could never feel stable. Later on he referred to his mother as mentally ill, not caring about her children.
Date of birth: April 9, 1963
Place of birth: New York City, New York, United States
Place of residence: Paris, France
Occupation: fashion designer
Last Updated: 2020
Eventually Marc's paternal grandmother opened her doors for him providing much needed stability and security. She has always encouraged him to pursue his dream of becoming a designer and while studying in High School of Art and Design he was able to work as a stockboy in an upscale boutique Charivari at only 15 years old. His job was to fold clothes and dress mannequins, but he was also allowed to design his own sweaters whenever he had some free time.
While by no means Charivari was his final destination, working in that boutique gave him a taste of fashion world and of more things to come.
Marc Jacobs went on to receive formal education in art and design and by 1986 he designed his very first collection bearing Marc Jacobs label. In 1997 he became a creative director of Lois Vuitton, which was a great achievement as it allowed him to reach new heights and develop his own label. Unfortunately he didn't cope with work challenges very well and there was a period of heavy drug and alcohol use but he eventually sought professional help and got back on track professionally.
In 2013 after being a creative director of Louis Vuitton house for 16 years Marc Jacobs announced that he is leaving Louis Vuitton to focus on his own label. While he was selling clothes under his own label for 25 years, the volume is still under $1 billion mark. Hopefully now that he will be focusing exclusively on Marc Jacobs label the volume will grow along with Marc Jacobs net worth.

Among some of the very disturbing images of State violence in Kashmir in recent times, the images of innocent young people blinded by pellet guns, the image of a Kashmiri man being tied to a jeep as human shield, and the image of a protester being mowed under a army jeep, have shaken the conscience of the world. Very recently the United Nations Human Rights Council has brought out a damning report on the situation facing the people of Kashmir, which the Indian government has rejected. The release of this report was followed by the dastardly assassination of renowned journalist Shujaat Bukhari. This incident was followed by the Government calling off the one-month ceasefire, and BJP promptly pulling out of the BJP-PDP alliance government, which has led now to governor's rule in J&K.
In this context, to make sense of the situation and to go over some contemporary history, let us gather to watch Sanjay Kak's acclaimed magnum opus on Kashmir, Jashn-e-Azadi. We will also listen to a short audio-visual presentation which focusses on incidents in the past decade of 2008-2018, with an intent ear to the voices of people of the valley.
Please take your seats by 6 pm. As always, seating is on first-come-first-seated basis.
8th JULY | SUNDAY | 6 P.M.
It's 15th August, India's Independence day, and the Indian flag ritually goes up at Lal Chowk in the heart of Srinagar, Kashmir. The normally bustling square is eerily empty– a handful of soldiers on parade, some more guarding them, and except for the attendant media crews, no Kashmiris.
For more than a decade, such sullen acts of protest have marked 15th August in Kashmir, and this is the point from where Jashn-e-Azadi begins to explore the many meanings of Freedom–of Azadi–in Kashmir.
In India, the real contours of the conflict in Kashmir are invariably buried under the facile depiction of an innocent population, trapped between the Terrorist's Gun and the Army's Boot. But after 18 years of a bloody armed struggle, after 60,000 civilians dead (and almost 7,000 enforced disappearances), what really is contained in the sentiment for Azadi–for freedom?
Amidst the everyday violence and ever-present fear in Kashmir, there are no easy answers to such questions. Where truth has been an early victim, all language–speech, poetry, even cinema–becomes inadequate to describe what we know and feel here.
We are witness to an ageing father in the Martyr's Graveyard; we are with a group of men as they survey the dead in the mountain villages of Bandipora; we sit quietly in the Out Patients Ward of the Govt Psychiatric Hospital in Srinagar.
Shot and edited between August 2004-2007 Jashn-e-Azadi engages us with the idea of Azadi in Kashmir.
In 2007, as India celebrated it's 60th anniversary of Independence, this is also a conversation about Freedom in India.
"When Jashn-e-Azadi first began circulating in 2007, we were fully conscious of the chill silence within which it would speak up in India (and perhaps the world). What took us by surprise was the unexpected openness with which it was actually received, and the speed with which it was circulated. Viewers did not embrace it as some ultimate truth about Kashmir's recent history, and we would not have wished for that either. But they saw it as a reading that contested the accepted (and carefully constructed) consensus of events in Kashmir.
