Rate relief for sports clubs
Property rating
This page provide details of the Department's proposals to provide enhanced rate relief to Community Amateur Sports Clubs.
On 19 January 2016 Finance Minister Mervyn Storey introduced legislation in the Assembly to allow enhanced rate relief to be provided to struggling community amateur sports clubs.
This Bill permits the Department to put community sports on the same footing as community halls by granting 100 per cent rate relief to unlicensed club premises and associated sporting facilities.
The Rates (Amendment) Bill passed its Final Stage in the Assembly on 2 February 2016 and gained Royal Assent on 28 February 2016.
On 2 March the Department launched a targeted consultation document in relation to the proposed use of the enabling power. The consultation ran until 9 May 2016.
Following the consultation period the Department produced a report with the proposed way forward and following recommendations from the Minister, the Assembly passed the necessary legislation for these changes to apply from 26 October onwards.
The agreed change enhanced relief from 80 per cent to 100 per cent for Community Amateur Sports Clubs without a bar. Clubs must apply in order to receive the enhanced relief.

Attapeu Province, LAOS_Chang Srichanon is a 13-year-old boy from the small, rural village of Ban Samong in the Sanamxay district of southern Laos' Attapeu Province. Last June he was a playful teenager who loved to swim in the Xe Pian River and play in the fields with his many friends. He had a loving father and mother and a nearby uncle and cousin, who was a little older than him.
But life turned unexpectedly upside down on the night of July 23, when Chang, who now resides at Pindong camp, lost his family, his normal teenage life and his dreams for the future.
After days of heavy rains, that Monday afternoon in late July was dry with a partially overcast sky. There were no portents of the tragic disaster about to befall the peaceful farming villages along the Xe Pian River.
Chang recalls leaving school and heading directly for a sleepover at his cousin's house in Ban Thasangchan, a village located about three kilometres upriver on the opposite bank from his home.
The water in the river was high and flowing fast. It had already flooded the low-lying plains, but Chang says he wasn't concerned as the river often overflowed and flooded riverside communities.
There was nothing to indicate the dangerous condition of the dam upriver, which by then was close to collapse. Nor was there a flash-flood warning, Chang said. So his family continued as usual with their activities, sitting down to dinner that evening without realising that a wall of water as high as 16 metres was crashing down the river right towards them.
In a quivering voice with tears in his eyes, Chang recounted his memories of that night beginning with the wave from the flash flood slamming into his uncle's house with a force that shook the building.
The water level rose rapidly and uprooted trees. Debris from destroyed structures upstream crashed against the walls, Chang said.
As the house began to crack and crumble, Chang held his cousin's hand tight and together they jumped into the raging torrent of water in the darkness. The current overwhelmed them, and they lost their handgrip, the wave carrying Chang's cousin away into the darkness. It was the last time Chang would see him.
Chang says he collided with a large tree and was able to grab the branches and climb to safety. He remained alone in the dark for hours until, to his surprise, his parents found him.
He was later told that his uncle's family had been washed away by the giant wave that night and so had many of his friends. Chang's family home and his uncle's were completely destroyed.
The disaster occurred after water from heavy monsoon rains breached an earth-filled section of the dam, a hydropower project then under construction. It released more than five billion cubic metres of water, the dam operator said.
According to Lao authorities, the collapse claimed 40 lives, caused more than 3 billion baht (around US$95.9 million) in economic damage, and displaced more than 4,000 people. That is the official tally. However, unofficial estimates place the death toll at more than 100, as many people remain missing six months after the deluge in the remote area.
Chan Srichanon, Chang's mother, says the disaster completely changed the family's fate. All of their property, belongings and even the little money they had been able to save were washed away in the deadly wave.
They were given temporary shelter in a tent at the Pindong camp, one of five enclaves set up by the authorities for the flood survivors.
Lao authorities have not given the victims permission to move back to their former properties, but Thoon says the quality of life inside the camp is poor. It is crowded, lacks clean water and the supply of food is inadequate, she says. So Chang's father moved back to the land where the family's home once stood to rebuild.
Even though they must start all over again to regain their livelihood, she insists her family will eventually overcome its struggles.
As for Chang, he says his family responsibilities have increased since the disaster.
"I have to overcome my fear of the river and help my father fishing," he said.
The teenager admits to a deep fear of fast-rising floodwaters. But he clings to the possibility of a better life.
This is the second in a series of reports on the fallout of the disaster at the Xe Pian-Xe Namnoy dam in southern Laos. It is adapted from the original story, which was published in The Nation on January 23.

PHP: what's the reason some people "fake" abstract methods by exclusively throwing an exception in the body?
What is the benefit here over just marking the method as abstract?
I already found a similar question for Java (Faking abstract methods using exceptions in Java), but it wasn't very helpful as its answers are explicit guessings and opinions.
* a Closure to the setCode() method.
You could argue with the overall design as it is perhaps a bit hacky but it works well in practice. Take a look at Command::run to see where the decision to use a closure or execute is made. Bit of a niche case to say the least.
I know quite a bit of this was discussed in the comments of the other answer but I thought it might help to summarize. I also did a quick search through the Symfony framework code looking to see where the closure approach was used. Did not find anything. The closure support goes all the way back to the original 2.0 release so it might have one of those "seemed a good idea at the time" bits of functionality.
If you make a regular method then child classes only need to implement the method if they plan to support it.
You can't create object from abstract classes.
All abstract methods must be implemented in non-abstract classes.
You don't want any of those entries to be deleted and that's when you don't want to implement the delete function. But you have to, because your UserActionRepository is not abstract, because you actually need instances of it. that's when you throw an exception.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged php symfony exception abstract or ask your own question.
Why do some people return after they throw Exceptions?
Is it possible to throw an abstract exception using Mockito?
What's the advantage of throwing an exception?

Q: How to compare two date in SQL Server 2005? How can I convert date value into format of dd-MM-yyyy in SQL? I have stored date into database in varchar(10) format. Now want to compare date from 1-05-2015 to 31-06-2015.
Query is :
select date
from dates
where date >='1-05-2015' and date <='10-06-2015'

I need help in Crystal report.
How can i remove blank line in crystal report 2008?
it returns only (same result in use of between)

*

*1-06-2015

*10-06-2015

*1-07-2015

I cannot use Format Method because 2005 not support. I tried Convert method but not helpful.

A: You should use this, if you store date as string, to convert it to DATE
https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms187928.aspx

A: Can't remember whether the CONVERT was exactly like it is now, but you can try
SET DATEFORMAT dmy -- Needed if date format on database server is different so the start and end date string values 01-05-2015 and 10-06-2015 can be converted automatically with the custom format
select date from dates where CONVERT(Date, date, 105) >='01-05-2015' and CONVERT(Date, date, 105) <='10-06-2015'

I would suggest not to store dates as varchar(10) but as Date or DateTime.
In addition I would use yyyy-MM-dd format, which can be interpreted regardless of whatever setting so you don't need the SET DATEFORMAT.
So if you always store dates as date you can do (among other features):
select date from dates where date >= '2015-05-01' and date <= '2015-06-10'

A: I agree with the other comments that dates stored in a proper date format are the best way to go, but sometimes changing the database isn't feasible.
Here's some code that will convert the date from your string format to datetime, assuming the month and year are always 2 and 4 characters, with the day being the only variable length.
Note, I changed the dates in the where statement from '1-05-2015' to '2015-05-01' and '10-06-2015' to '2015-06-10'.
select date
       , cast(right(date, 4)+'-'+SUBSTRING(date, charindex('-', date)+1, 2)+'-'+left(date, charindex('-', date)-1) as datetime) as converted_date
from dates
where
     cast(right(date, 4)+'-'+SUBSTRING(date, charindex('-', date)+1, 2)+'-'+left(date, charindex('-', date)-1) as datetime)
         >= cast('2015-05-01' as datetime)
     and cast(right(date, 4)+'-'+SUBSTRING(date, charindex('-', date)+1, 2)+'-'+left(date, charindex('-', date)-1) as datetime)
         <= cast('2015-06-10' as datetime)

A: I can convert varchar to datetime in sql 2014 using the following code
ALTER TABLE table_you_want
ALTER COLUMN column_you_want DATETIME
Well i am not sure whether 2005 supports it or not.
hope it helps..!!1

A: Luckily I had 2005 installed on my machine and i got results.
See this SQL Fiddle
Let me know if this doesn't help you.

A: You can convert to date type with style:
select date
from dates
where convert(date, date, 103) between '20150501' and '20150610'

Never keep dates as strings, numerics as strings etc. Use appropriate types, which will keep you far from problems like this.

This is one of the questions I get the most from new traders and investors, who cannot decide whether to start learning trading or investing.
Most people end up only focusing on either one their whole lifetime, without realising that combining both is essential to building long-term wealth, and achieving it faster.
But how exactly do you combine both these skills?


Lync Audio – Wireless – QoS?
Late 2015 I joined a task force group at a customer. The task force was created to troubleshoot global performance issues with Microsoft Lync. The customer is mainly using wired connections and the task force had already solved 10-15 findings to raise to overall user experience using Ms-Lync.
One of the findings included QoS. The wired QoS policy was aligned with Microsoft and Cisco white papers to use GPO to assign specific UDP port ranges with the DSCP value 46 and assign med MS-Lync audio to utilize this port range.
Both Microsoft and Cisco's best practices states that DSCP EF (46) is the way to go.
Unfortunately no one bothered to think the wireless part into their solution of the missing QoS for Lync.
Microsoft has been so kind to hardcode their DSCP to 802.11e UP value into the OS. And they decided to do it wrong compared with they own best practice white paper. As Microsoft is using the first 3 bits of the 6 bit field, the DSCP decimal value of 46 (101110 in binary) gets mapped to UP 5 (101 in binary). So DSCP EF Voice Best Practice traffic is placed in the *brumroll* Video Access Category.
So if you do everything by the book your QoS will be broken. I still can't figure out why Microsoft can't include the mapping in a Registration Database value.
Cisco wants you to use AVC to match each packet to a signature and remark the packet to DSCP EF. This ensures that the QoS is only broken from the client to the AP and from the AP to the WLC (when using central switching).
Upstream the packet leaves the client with the DSCP EF and User Priority 5. When the access-points get a UP 5 frame it creates a CAPWAP packet with the DSCP decimal value of 34 and forwards to the WLC. At the WLC the CAPWAP is removed and the original IP packet with a DSCP of 46 is processed. The AVC engine will remark the packet as it is a match to ms-lync-audio to DSCP … 46 … (same same).
Downstream the QoS looks great. DSCP EF from the wired side hits the controller and the ms-lync-audio packet is remarked to … EF using AVC. When leaving the WLC the CAPWAP packet remains EF and at the AP the DSCP EF mappes to the Voice Access Category.
Can this be solved? Sure, but it ain't pretty. So lets go ahead and kill best practice.
There is really only one system that can't be modified. The Windows OS. So we need to adapt everything to fit around that. We want the Windows machine to map the audio packet to UP 6 and Voice Access Category. To do so we need to use a DSCP value of 48 or higher. Using the 48 would work fine, but as we might want to match the audio packets and only the audio packets using the DSCP value 48 might not be optimal. My idea was to go with 51. I know, I know. It isn't a pretty even normally used value. There is no AF or EF. But again it is just a combination of bits.
The value will only be used on the clients in their Lync to UDP ports to DSCP setting.
When the packet leaves the client using DSCP value 51 the default Windows map will ensure that it gets a UP 6 and hits the Voice Access Category. When the frame hits the access-point with the UP 6 the access-points forwards it in a CAPWAP packet with the DSCP of 46. When the CAPWAP packet hits the WLC the CAPWAP is decapsulated and the original audio packet with the DSCP 51 is left. Before forwarding this to the wired side the AVC engine matches the packet as a ms-lync-audio packet and remarks the 51 -> 46. The DSCP EF order is restored.
The downstream flow will use DSCP 46 from end to end as normal. Remember that only the end clients know about the 51.
So is everything great? Well, not quite. What happens when a client uses wired. Then we don't have the AVC engine to do the remarking. The solution could be to do DSCP mutation/remarking on all access switches in the network. Simply match 51 and rewrite to 46. This is why 51 is a great value. No one else uses it.
So this the customer implement the solution. No. They decided to reserve the Voice and Video Access Categories to the Lync audio and send video as best effort.
It worked perfectly fine on white board.
Will there be a more elegant solution in the future? Hopefully. The 802.11u protocol includes a feature to dictate the DSCP to UP mapping per client. In other words the Infrastructure device (the access-point) can inform the STA (client) of where each DSCP should be mapped to. Right now the 802.11u client support seems fairly limited, but there is stil hope.

Biologist in bid to save rainforest's rare monkey
Scientists at the University of Sussex are working with local communities in Ecuador to help save one of the world's rarest species of monkey – and the endangered rainforest where it lives.
The Brown-headed Spider Monkey (Ateles fusciceps) is "critically endangered", which means that without urgent action to protect the 50 known breeding pairs still in the wild, the species could become extinct. The spider monkey – unusual in that it is exclusively a fruit-eater – is under threat because up to 80 per cent of the dense rainforest that it depends on for food has been destroyed.
Environmental organisation Ecuador Terra Incognita, supported by partners including the University of Sussex, has now launched the PRIMENET Project to tackle the crisis. Its aim is to determine how best to protect the monkey populations, now restricted to rainforest reserves in northwest Ecuador, then educate local communities to continue the work and ensure the spider monkey's long-term survival.
University of Sussex environmental biologist Dr Mika Peck is coordinating the project. He has secured £230,000 funding for the project over three years through the Government-sponsored Darwin Initiative to aid conservation in bio-diverse regions around the world. He will also assist, along with colleagues from the geography department, in remote sensing research. This involves analysing satellite data to see where rainforest is at risk from development or logging.
Dr Peck became involved because he has worked on environmental projects in South America and has conducted research into deforestation. He also has a passion for the region where the project will be based – the Los Cedros Biological Reserve in the Ecuadorean Andes, on the doorstep of the spider monkey habitat. He says: "This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It can only be reached by donkey, trekking for five hours. It is a fairytale setting – orchids, humming birds, big cats, tapirs, moths the size of dinner plates – and is one of the richest areas for bird species."
Protecting all of this, says Dr Peck, is key to the spider monkey campaign: "The spider monkey is a 'flagship' species – if they are protected then everything else in the surrounding environment is too, and one of the rare biodiversity-rich habitats of the world is preserved."
The project will involve the building of a scientific research and education centre at Los Cedros, where locals from a number of diverse indigenous groups will learn how to collect scientific data and monitor monkey populations. Other strands of the project will focus on supporting Conservation International in developing "corridors" to link nature reserves in the region. Teams of scientists will also study the area's flora and fauna, much of it still new to science.
In the longer term, the project aims to encourage environmentally-friendly ecotourism, offer sustainable forms of work and income for local people and offset the damage done by logging, mining and hunting – the pursuits largely responsible for destroying the rainforest on which the spider monkey and other species depend.


Margaret Thatcher on TV, Grafton Way, London, U.K., 1990.
Neoliberalism is the linguistic omnivore of our times, a neologism that threatens to swallow up all the other words around it. Twenty years ago, the term "neoliberalism" barely registered in English-language debates. Now it is virtually inescapable, applied to everything from architecture, film, and feminism to the politics of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Search the ProQuest database for uses of "neoliberalism" between 1989 and 1999, and you turn up fewer than 2,000 hits. From the crash of 2008–9 to the present, that figure already exceeds 33,000.
On the left, the term "neoliberalism" is used to describe the resurgence of laissez-faire ideas in what is still called, in most quarters, "conservative" economic thought; to wage battle against the anti-tax, anti-government, and anti-labor union agenda that has swept from the Reagan and Thatcher projects into the Tea Party revolt and the Freedom Caucus; to describe the global market economy whose imperatives now dominate the world; to castigate the policies of Bill and Hillary Clinton's centrist Democratic Party; and to name the very culture and sensibilities that saturate our minds and actions.
Vital material issues are at stake in all these debates. But the politics of words are in play as well. Naming matters. It focuses agendas and attention. It identifies causation and strategies of action. It collects (or rebuffs) allies. Is the overnight ubiquity of the term "neoliberalism" the sign of a new acuteness about the way the world operates? Or is it a caution that a word, accelerating through too many meanings, employed in too many debates, gluing too many phenomena together, and cannibalizing too many other words around it, may make it harder to see both the forces at loose in our times and where viable resistance can be found?
"Marketcraft" is one of the most important functions for any government.

Man Utd v Tottenham: What awaits Jose Mourinho on Old Trafford return?
By Simon Stone
From the section Premier League
'It's in my history book' - Mourinho on Manchester United
Jose Mourinho returns to the Old Trafford dugout on Wednesday almost a year after his last appearance, for a 4-1 win over Fulham on 8 December 2018 that proved to be his last victory as Manchester United manager.
Mourinho travels north with a Tottenham side re-energised since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino on 19 November, with three wins from three games, which has helped take them sixth in the Premier League.
England midfielder Dele Alli in particular appears to have been transformed by Mourinho's arrival.
In contrast, his old club are at a low ebb. When he walks into the visiting dressing room he was responsible for reducing in size during his time at the club, Mourinho will be preparing to meet a United side that are 10th in the table having won just four league matches this season and heading for their worst league finish since 1990.
So, who has benefited most from Mourinho's United exit? And what should Spurs fans be wary of if they look back at the Portuguese's time at Old Trafford?
No Man Utd players in your all-time Mourinho XI
Mourinho has stressed repeatedly nothing happening at Spurs at the moment is to do with him.
Few think he really means that. In any case, the noise that accompanies Mourinho assures he is centre of attention, even when it is not intended.
Praising a ball boy for helping Tottenham win their Champions League match against Olympiakos on 26 November, then inviting the lad into the home dressing room for Saturday's victory against Bournemouth, became about Mourinho. Alli's startling upturn in form is about Mourinho.
Sources at Tottenham say Mourinho has changed very little thus far. He occasionally stays in the overnight accommodation at Spurs' training ground but that will not become a parody of itself as the Portuguese's two-and-a-half-year residence at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester did.
However, tweaks have taken place.
Mourinho does not favour the high press Pochettino liked, so the training intensity will not be the same. Instead, work will be done on shape, both in and out of possession.
It is wrong to describe Mourinho as a defensive coach - but he is an organised one. As United experienced following Mourinho's dismissal, the chances are what Tottenham are benefiting from is the introduction of a new voice, new methods and a fresh start.
Man Utd v Tottenham - match preview
'My time at Man Utd is a closed chapter'
Solskjaer not 'more concerned' after recent sackings
This feels familiar - but has Mourinho changed?
Mourinho could not have done more than win his first three competitive games. Comfortable triumphs over West Ham and Bournemouth, plus a thriller against Olympiakos.
Spin back to the start of his United reign. Comfortable Premier League wins against Bournemouth and Southampton, followed by a last-minute Marcus Rashford winner at Hull.
It was game four that did not go to plan.
A home defeat by Manchester City was accompanied by a notable selection move from Mourinho. He substituted Henrikh Mkhitaryan at half-time. Mourinho, indirectly, called it "a bad performance".
Mkhitaryan did not start another league game for nearly three months. After he left United, the Armenian said trust with his manager had been broken.
Jose Mourinho took Eric Dier off during the first half of his first home game as Spurs boss
The contrast with how Mourinho has handled Eric Dier over the past seven days could not be more marked. In the aftermath of the Olympiakos game, when he replaced the England midfielder after 29 minutes, Mourinho publicly apologised to the player.
He put him straight back into the side for the Bournemouth game, when Dier completed the full 90 minutes.
Is this evidence of a more compassionate Mourinho or is he merely being expedient in his handling of a midfielder in the mould of those he has tended to rely on throughout his career?
A feeling it may be the former is reinforced by the positive impression the 56-year-old has left on the Tottenham staff so far.
At United, there was a sense of excitement when his arrival as Louis van Gaal's successor was announced only for Mourinho's football to be not much better than the dismal fare served up by the Dutchman - and with less charisma.
It took Mourinho's United seven games to hit double figures in terms of goals scored. At Tottenham he has done it in three.

University Challenge star Bobby Seagull takes on Lawro
Harsh words - different agenda
Mourinho has never been scared of dropping a few verbal bombs. At United, they started the week after Mkhitaryan's early derby exit.
After another loss - at Watford - Mourinho identified Luke Shaw as a culprit, accusing the England defender of being 25 metres away from his opponent, rather than five, and therefore in no position to stop a cross that led to a crucial Watford goal.
Shaw started one Premier League game in the following five months. Mourinho has already admitted to using verbal motivation on Alli, asking him whether he had been playing for Tottenham over the past few months, or his brother.
The reaction has been phenomenal - although, possibly, getting more out of Christian Eriksen might be a bit trickier given the Dane's contract runs out at the end of the season.
Yet, while he spent nearly £400m on new players during his time at Old Trafford, Mourinho seems to have inherited a more rounded squad than he ever managed to put together in Manchester.
In Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez, he has three effective options in central defence, the position he was blocked from strengthening in his final year at United.
Alli is excelling in the number 10 role in much the same way Frank Lampard did - albeit from slightly deeper - when Mourinho first arrived in England from Porto in 2004.
And, while Harry Kane is not a Didier Drogba in physical terms, he scores more regularly than anyone at United since Zlatan Ibrahimovic's debut season was wrecked by injury in 2017 after the Swede had scored 28 goals in 45 games.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United in the summer of 2016
The spectre of Mourinho hangs over Solskjaer
If the reaction he received on his most recent visit to Old Trafford as a pundit for Sky Sports is any guide, Mourinho will get a positive reception from United fans this week.
After all, he did win two trophies and took the club to their highest league finish - second - since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
United were sixth when he left, with the club privately saying there had been no improvement in results or style during his time in charge.
But the problem for his successor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is that - after an initial surge - United have regressed under his management.
Sunday's home draw with Aston Villa leaves them 10th, with four wins and 18 points from their opening 14 games. In order to reach the 26 from 17 that wasn't enough to save Mourinho from the sack 12 months ago, Solskjaer needs to win his next three games, which includes Saturday's derby trip to Manchester City.
It is true that the popular Norwegian retains support inside and outside the club and that he is committed to picking young players - something Mourinho never convinced about, even if he spoke often about doing it.
But United's squad is evidently deficient. Without significant purchases in January, Solskjaer will struggle to reach the top six, let alone seal a Champions League place.
And no-one, no matter how popular they are, can survive in the cut-throat world of Premier League management if results continue to disappoint.

The evolution of the internet didn't stop with Web 2.0. Nor did it stop with the "social media revolution". It's ongoing, and keeping pace with your corporate website is no longer enough. Modern consumers aren't looking for great websites, they're demanding a web-presence.
Everything You Need to Know about Structured Data in 1200(ish) Words.
Structured data is all the rage over at Google. Most of you have undoubtedly seen the enhanced search listings Google recently rolled out; the ones with associated pictures, sub-links, rating stars and other goodies. While Google may not rule the world just yet, whenever they care about something, website owners would do well to pay attention too. Fortunately, structured data, and the upgraded search results the new techniques make possible, aren't all that difficult to implement.
Continuous software deployment allows you to put your product to market in record time without forcing you to make a choice between quality and speed. As the technique is further improved by industry heavyweights like networking company LinkedIn, reasons for sticking with older development models are dwindling.
Bounce rates for many types of content are punishingly high with devastating business consequences. While great content will help to retain your visitors, integrating an elegant navigational plan into your site design is critical to effective content presentation. However, great site navigation involves much more than simply creating a path to your content. A new approach to site specific searches provides one element of an intelligent and efficient content architecture for your site.
As the web and the way we search it continue to evolve, the creative use of images is changing the importance of visual content in search engine rankings. Learn how to SEO optimize your images to keep your site user friendly and search engine relevant; even if pictures aren't your primary product.
Responsive design is here to stay, and for good reason. The technology offers a ton of new options for generating really great user experiences, but these options come at a price. While all of web design depends on quality engineering, responsive design is especially sensitive. Get it wrong, and you can break a whole web presence.

Burns are one of the most horrific injuries a person can suffer, and they occur a lot more often than many people think. According to the American Burn Association, there are 500,000 burn injuries in the United States every year that require medical treatment. There are approximately 4,000 burn and fire related deaths each year, with 3,500 of those resulting from residential fires and 500 from motor vehicle, aircraft accidents, or other sources.
It is hard to describe the catastrophic effects of a burn injury. Not only are third degree burns indescribably painful, but treatment generally involves multiple surgeries, and the burn victim may face life with disfiguring and disabling scars. It is not unusual for a person to suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for years after a scalding or fire accident.
Many burn injuries occur in explosions, fires, and electrocutions, which do not always have a direct and obvious cause. However, you must be able to be able to demonstrate the cause of your accident in order to obtain compensation. That is why it is important to have an experienced Chicago burn injury lawyer on your side.
We will conduct a thorough investigation in order to determine who was at fault. Once we have determined what happened, we have the courtroom experience to make sure the negligent party is held responsible. Burn injuries often result from house fires. Our experts will work diligently to determine any liability, whether it be failure of a landlord to install a smoke detector, or negligence by the electrician in replacing wiring.
A serious burn injury is devastating. Not only does it lead to permanent scarring, loss of mobility, and multiple surgeries, but it can affect the well being and employment of the injured party. Jackowiak Law Offices provides professional, experienced representation in helping burn victims recover compensation for their injuries. Our firm knows that someone who has suffered a severe burn will never be able to regain the life they had before the accident. We work hard for our clients towards obtaining the maximum amount of recovery possible so they can move on with their life without worrying about the burden of medical expenses and what to do for income.
Call us today at 312-795-9595 to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with an experienced burn injury lawyer at our Chicago office, or contact us online now.


Our Funarena!: Test Cricket: India Win Delhi Thriller To Sweep Australia 4-0!
Test Cricket: India Win Delhi Thriller To Sweep Australia 4-0!
Cheteshwar Pujara (82 not out) and Virat Kohli (41) made the tricky Delhi pitch look easy as they helped India romp home crushing Australia by 6 wickets in the fourth Test match today and India swept the Series 4-0—for the first time against mighty Australia. They lifted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2013 after throwing it away in Australia exactly in the reverse manner of a 0-4 drubbing. It was a great moment when the legends Alan Border and Sunil Gavaskar presented the Trophy to the winning captain MS Dhoni.
Justifying his tag as the new 'wall' of India Mr. Consistent Pujara played an outstanding unbeaten innings seeing through the end. Virat Kohli who was expected to play a crucial role today gave him perfect company and nearly achieved the target of 155 runs between themselves. The most positive aspect of these two youngsters was that they did not play in fear or in anticipation of the tricky pitch and just batted naturally facing Lyon and Maxwell with authority. They hit boundaries regularly and stole singles at every opportunity racing to 50 in the ninth over and 100 in the twentieth over. The highest run-scorer of the Series Murali Vijay (430 runs) fell to an awkward shot early on and there were a few hiccups when Tendulkar and Rahane followed Kohli in quick succession as if not to rob the suspense out of a genuine thriller. And it was all over within three days.
On the bowling front, man-of-the-match Ravindra Jadeja delivered a five-wicket haul with some superlative spin bowling foxing the batsmen all the time and nearly achieving a hattrick. Man-of-the-Series Ravichandran Ashwin captured two wickets today taking his tally to an astonishing 29 wickets—the highest of the Series followed by Jadeja with 24 and Nathan Lyon with 15.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test Series in India will be remembered for a host of healthy and positive reasons. Team India achieved this whitewash with a lot of promising youngsters and without the greats of Dravid, Laxman, Gambhir and Sehwag; the super comeback of the Indian captain Dhoni with a wonderful double hundred in the Chennai Test; Cheteshwar Pujara double hundred and his record 370 run partnership with Murali Vijay for the second wicket in the Hyderabad Test; the dream debut of Shikhar Dhawan with the fastest debut hundred and his record 289 run opening partnership with Vijay in the Mohlai Test; the Jadeja avatar of a Test all-rounder and a class act of specialist spin bowling by Ashwin and Jadeja. For Australia it'd be better if they forget this Series fast—forget particularly the unprecedented episode of axing key players for team indiscipline—and try coming back to their usual tough and competitive cricket. Australia never had a 0-4 whitewash since 1970 when they suffered this humiliation against South Africa in South Africa.
A long domestic season ends for India that started with a Series win against New Zealand, a shock loss against England and a huge triumph against Australia. Genuine cricket is over for the moment, the revelers of the game may get ready for IPL-6 that unfolds from 3rd April.

The Media Studies Experience: U.Va.'s Beta Bridge
Posted on March 4, 2014 by Petrina Jackson
We are pleased to feature a guest post by Garrett Gottesman, who is a Third-Year, double-majoring in Media Studies and American Studies with a concentration in Social Reform, and a blogger for The Media Studies Experience.
Because I've seen messages and artwork come and go almost daily on Beta Bridge over the past three years, oftentimes the words and their meaning are lost on me. But this week, Beta Bridge grabbed my attention and made me momentarily put my day on pause.
Beta Bridge painted in support of Venezuelan protests, February 21, 2014. (Photograph by Garrett Gottesman)
Having followed the news coverage of the political unrest in Venezuela, this visual demonstration arranged by Venezuelan students at U.Va. instantly caught and held my attention. This dramatic appeal resonated with me as images of violence and brutality still lingered in my head from the news the night before. Second-Year Student Henrique Sosa, who is from Venezuela and is a leader of U.Va. students demonstrating support for Venezuela, said that their mission is to increase consciousness about the crisis amongst students and also to send strength to the Venezuelans whose voices are being silenced by the oppressive regime.
An example of U.Va. student support for the Venezuelan protests is this picture, which has reached an audience of over 700,000 Venezuelans after it was retweeted by prominent Venezuelan reporter Miguel Henrique Otero, February 23, 2014. (Screen shot taken by Garrett Gottesman)
In addition to accomplishing this mission though, the message also left me questioning the history of Beta Bridge as I realized that I knew so little about it.
Paintings on the bridge commemorating students who have recently died, or the "Hoos for Hokies" message after the Virginia Tech shootings are some of the most memorable Beta messages that resonate with the student body. But largely, the free billboard space is filled with birthday wishes and CIO (student group) advertisements. These more common messages go unnoticed; however, the sanctity of this outlet of expression is worth defending.
Filled with curiosity of the bridge's history, I visited Special Collections. There, I found dozens of pictures of the bridge over the last 20 years, as well as two Cavalier Daily articles from the 1980s that illustrated Beta's history and importance.
University of Virginia Beta Bridge, 1969. (RG-30/1/10.11. University of Virginia Visual History Collection. Image by Digitization Services.)
The March 11, 1981 Cavalier Daily article, "Beta: It's More Than Just a Bridge" explains the history of the bridge. The original wooden bridge was built in 1855 by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, who owned the railroad below, but it wasn't until the 1960's that painting it became such a part of U.Va. culture. As a matter of fact, it was illegal to paint it before this time, and the marks seldom on it, which were usually sports scores, were done under the cover of the night.
This tradition blossomed though, and, by the 1980s, the bridge was painted up to five times a day. Reaffirming my sentiments, the Cavalier Daily articles noted how important this outlet of student expression was. In the September 22, 1986 article entitled "Beta Bridge: Layers of University Tradition Live on Rugby," former professor Raymond Bice explained, "Once in a while someone paints something that raises eyebrows. But really it's a harmless activity that is very valuable." Although the instances that he is talking about are ones like the John Lennon memorial that stayed up for ten days, this act still holds value today as some students use it to reach beyond the University community. The bridge poses as a cornerstone for the symbolic value of student voice, and even though it can often be pointless fun, sometimes its impact leaves a lasting mark on those who see it.

10 Days of Twitter
Welcome to Ten Days of Twitter, or as it's called in twitterspeak, #YSJ10DoT !
Ever wondered if Twitter might be a useful tool for enhancing your teaching & learning, or developing your personal learning network? Not sure how to get started, or how it all works?
YSJ10DoT will help you to learn to use Twitter from scratch, build up your network and join in the conversation in 10 days!
YSJ10DoT will take place from Monday 25 March – Friday 5 April.
Twitter is in many ways very simple to use - it's just a micro-blogging social media platform on which you can post 280 character 'tweets' which your followers can see, and you can follow other people to see what they're sharing. Sounds easy, and in fact, setting up an account, following people and sending tweets is easy.
And yet… for such a simple platform, Twitter is pretty complex. It's not the functionality, so much as the conventions (@, #, RT, etc), the strategies for tweeting effectively and building a network, the plethora of 'apps' or third party tools to add on… Not to mention thinking about why you might want to use such a platform, and what you might use it to achieve, other than sharing celebrity gossip and what you had for breakfast.
At first people are often very sceptical – what could you possibly say that was of any academic or professional value in 280 characters? And why would anyone care to know what you are saying? How could Twitter possibly enhance your work in any way, other than a fun way to distract yourself from real work? To find out, view the schedule opposite and register to participate in the next YSJ10DoT, which is taking place from Monday 25 March - Friday 5 April 2019.
Over the ten days, we'll be exploring Twitter together. During each of the Ten Days of Twitter, We'll be sharing a daily post on a small aspect of Twitter, to get you up and running and exploring what Twitter might offer you. Throughout, we'll be focusing very practically and specifically on what Twitter can offer you. None of these activities will take up
very much of your time, so we hope it will be a worthwhile experiment for you! We'll be interacting with each other too on Twitter, so you'll be building up your network on Twitter very quickly! There are quite a few academics, faculties, programmes etc. on Twitter already, using Twitter to ask questions, find resources, collaborate on projects etc. – join us!
One important thing to remember: whenever you tweet about the programme, use the hashtag #YSJ10DoT so that we can find each other initially. We'll explain more later!
#YSJ10DoT got me back on Twitter, thanks! I haven't used twitter for teaching as until now I thought it would mean getting students to follow me/following students. Now I realise - it doesn't have to be this way! (Stefanie Allum)

The WeChat Impact Report 2018 is out!
Among the highlights:
WeChat-driven information consumption reached RMB 209. 7 billion
WeChat accounted for 34% of the total data traffic of users
WeChat drove RMB 333.9 billion traditional consumption, covering travel, food, shopping, tourism, etc.
WeChat contributed the employment of 20.3 million persons in 2017, more than twice the 2014 figure
The number of stores accepting WeChat Payment in Japan was multiplied by 35 in 2017
And much more… read on!
Impact on consumption
WeChat-driven information economy has reached RMB 209.7 billion, making up for 4.7% of China's total information consumption.
In aggregate, WeChat makes for an outstanding share of total mobile traffic in China: 34.0%. In comparison, Facebook makes up for only 14.1% of mobile traffic in North America.
WeChat-driven consumption in traditional sectors of the economy has also been rising exponentially, rising 22.2% in 2017 to 333.9 billion RMB.
WeChat helped to create 20.3 million jobs in 2017, more than twice the 2014 figure. This partly includes bloggers and entrepreneurs who started companies via WeChat Official Accounts, many of which later become million-dollar brands. According to WeChat, the number of registered WeChat Official Account has reached 20 million, and active Official Account reached 3.5 million by September 2017. The WeChat ecosystem is contributing to the Chinese economy overall.
WeChat is among the top App that contributes to the highest percentage of data consumption. What's interesting is the older generations depends more on WeChat. For users over the age 60, WeChat contributes to over 50% of the data consumption for 60% of users. While for users who are 18-35 years old, WeChat takes less than 30% of data consumption for half of the users. It could be caused because the younger generation is more likely to spend data on other apps such as games, video and other social media Apps.
The social impact of WeChat
The number of users donating to charities via WeChat reached an impressive 40.3% in 2017, almost twice the 2015 figure.
The cumulative of WeChat City Service Users is also booming, many of these services have doubled the number of users between 2016 and 2017.
In the healthcare sector, the impact is particularly strong: waiting time is shortened by 43.6 minutes on average in institutions which implemented WeChat.
WeChat users are more balanced distributed among users of all age in 2017 than they were in 2015.
WeChat Payment
Penetration of WeChat payment has been skyrocketing, especially for users under 18 years old where it reached an impressive 97.3% in 2017. For users over 60 years old, WeChat penetration reached 46.7%. Given this could be the first time these 2 groups of users have a smart phone, the penetration of WeChat Pay is very impressive.
Usage almost doubled in most situations, especially in daily-life expenses such as supermarket payments, food payments or online shopping. The most popular use case for WeChat Pay is in an offline environment, such as the supermarket, and restaurants. 45.2% people use WeChat for online shopping.
Outside China, WeChat has also seen explosive growth in catering to Chinese tourists. In Japan, the number of stores receiving payments via WeChat Payment has been multiplied by 35 in 2017 only!
WeChat Official Accounts and Mini Programs
Subscription to official accounts have been growing in most categories (although relatively slowly due to increasing competition between WeChat Official Accounts)
WeChat at work (the "Slack" equivalent of WeChat) has reached 30 million active users from 1.5 million registered enterprises.
WeChat Official Accounts have been satisfactory to their operators: 34% of them mentioned that the usage of WeChat Official Accounts enabled them to decrease costs by more than 30%.
WeChat mini-programs have seen the most dramatic adoption trend. 580k of them were created by the end of 2017.
The social e-commerce application Mogujie disclosed that the conversion rate of its mini-program is twice higher than on its native application. Group Buying contributed more than 70% of new purchasers in the mini program. Cash Off brought 500,000 new users within 12 days from its launch, of which 18% purchased later.
Offline stores also started using mini-programs: Yonghui Superstores saw the digitization of its users skyrocket from 30% to 87% after adopting WeChat mini-programs.
In the public sector, "Bus Steward" 巴士管家 was launched in 13 cities in Jiangsu province to enable users to purchase transportation tickets via WeChat mini-programs. By the end of 2017, the mini-program had been used 11 million times.
Although WeChat has nearly saturated its growth potential in China in terms of the number of users (with more than 1 billion Monthly Active Users), the App is still very far from resting on its laurels.
From business innovation through city services and cross-border commerce, to technical innovation with mini-programs, WeChat keeps reinventing itself and discovering new paths for growth.
2017 has been an impressive year for WeChat, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
WeChat Impact Report of 2018.

First peek. Team Sky rolling discotheque.
The VIP Lounge at the Club Sky rolling disco.
The disco ball is put away when the dance club is in transit. Travel safety thing, baby.
Team Sky unveiled the rolling Club Sky Disco on their web site this Friday. The former Volvo buses have been transformed into the hottest club on the ProTour circuit. Paris Hilton is sure to crash this club soon.
The space age design includes mood lighting and nine leather furnished seats for the riders and their party entourage. The seats even promise electric calf supports and integrated storage space for iphones and ipods.
The state-of-the-art sound system will pump electronic, R&B soul and late night down-tempo grooves. "We play whatever the riders and their ladies want," said driver and DJ Reggie "Bubbles" Dawkins.
After-hours cocktails and dancing and other festivities are promised along with wide screen movies. Then as the evening winds down, VIP guests are invited to slip behind the club's set of clear sliding pulse doors which ice up at the touch of a button. There, they'll discover a lavish shower that provides a relaxing and intimate ending to a long exciting day of cycling.
The club will cater to an exclusive, upscale clientele and also features a champagne and massage suite at the back of the rolling club. "Everybody likes to get loose, you know. Don't matter if you just won Milan San Remo or not, it's all a party," said Bubbles.
Given that the red-hot club has no fixed address, a red LED beacon will extend into the night sky to ensure the riders and revelers can always find Club Sky.
Team manager and bouncer David Brailsford summed it up: That's what it's all about, making these guys so proud they're partying for Team Sky." No, wait, he said "riding for Team Sky." Sorry, slip of the keyboard.

Crowd gathers as huge crane replaces bridge on Christmas day
A crowd looked on as a huge crane replaced a bridge on Christmas Day.
Jon Nurse
Workmen took advantage of a 47-hour window with no trains to dismantle the Duffield Road bridge in Woodley and slot in a new crossing on Boxing Day.
Onlookers brought treats to the tireless workers.
Tony Swell, who has lived by the bridge in Copse Mead for many years, said: "There were quite a lot of people out there. On Christmas Day I came with my son, David, and his boys Archie, nine, and Ralphie, six – they were fascinated by it all.
"I took out some mince pies and flapjack for the workers from my wife.
"They say it went very well and they met their deadline. The crane was quite magnificent."
Trains started running along some of the lines last Thursday.
Work started on the bridge in October as the crossing is prepared for the electrification of the line.
Mr Swell added: "I know they worked through the night on Christmas Day. People say it's remarkable what they've done with such little disturbance.
"They've been very helpful and not caused many problems at all considering what they had to do."
The project means the road is closed between Pound Lane and Copse Mead for six months and the new bridge is scheduled to open in April. A temporary footbridge is in place.
Neighbours spotted the new bridge waiting in an A4 layby in Knowl Hill in the days approaching the big switch. Russ Ayling 72, also of Copse Mead, said: "I popped over a couple of times on Christmas Day – it was very interesting.
"I know one man was there at 6.30am on Christmas morning. There's a lot of admiration for how they were working. Now they can get it ready with a new surface."
A Network Rail spokesman said: "The work to replace the bridge was completed successfully at 4.30am on Thursday, December 27, and the project remains on schedule."

The show will help viewers discover more about Latin America and the influence that Afro-Latinos have made on the Latin American countries' unique histories. Latin America and the Caribbean imported more slaves during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries than anywhere else in the world. Today, researchers estimate that 1 in 3 Latin Americans have African ancestry.
The first two episodes, part of a two-part special, will be about Costa Rica, and will feature an interview with Quince Duncan, a celebrated Afro-Costa Rican author.
"Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast was strongly influenced by the Jamaican inhabitants who arrived in the country over 400 years ago," says Costa Rica Tourism Minister Gustavo Segura. "Costa Rica is an extraordinary country. We recognize ourselves as a multi-ethnic and multicultural nation and the province of Limón is the most authentic reflection of that melting pot of cultures and ethnic groups...We are very proud of this and view Afro-Latino Travels as an opportunity to share our history with those who seek to learn about and visit our country."
The show airs on Saturday, September 12th at 6:30 a.m. EST on WNET (Long Island/New York City) and across the country in select cities. Please check local listings to find your PBS station.

Home/Company News, Loma Linda, Tuno/Atlantic Natural Foods Gains New Distribution, Realizes Continued Growth
Forbes - Vegan Tuna Provides An Ocean Sustainability Solution
Company's 100+-year old Loma Linda brand will be at all Costco stores in January, expand distribution at Walmart and Target, and head to ALDI in US and UK in early 2020
NASHVILLE, N.C., Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Atlantic Natural Foods, leading manufacturer of better-for-you, plant-based, shelf-stable foods, announced that it is debuting its top-selling and award-winning plant-based Chipotle Bowl Meal Solution – a shelf-stable, sustainable and convenient complete meal that boasts delicious flavor yet can be prepared in just 60 seconds – at more than 500 Costco stores throughout North America. 2020 Costco growth includes Western Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and even Iceland. Created for plant-based eaters and flexitarians alike, this portable pouch, developed under the Loma Linda® brand, is available at an affordable price point ($13.99/6 meals). After several market tests, sales of the product exceeded traditional grocery products – not just those in the plant-based sector – by as much as 50 percent of the established baseline standard. In addition, the product will be promoted under Costco's member-only savings mailer in the month of January.
"Our expansion into Costco is proving the brand's success beyond just the niche plant-based protein sector; it is quickly increasing popularity and gaining momentum into the mainstream as well," comments Laura Lapp, Brand Innovation Manager at Atlantic Natural Foods. "Plant-based foods aren't going anywhere, and consumers—both plant-based and non-plant-based—are figuring out that eating plant-based foods doesn't have to be boring or bland. The Chipotle Bowl is a prime example of just how good eating sustainably can be!"
This year – and especially this quarter – marks unprecedented growth for this 100-year-old matriarch and leading pioneer in the healthy, plant-based movement. In fact, the company has exceeded its goals for 2019-2020 by achieving 100 percent growth for the period and is now stretching to 20,000 stores across North America, UK, Australia, and 17 other countries. Beyond launching in Costco stores nationwide throughout North America, the company will also debut a variety pack of its three best-selling meals at ALDI stores in January including Chipotle Bowl, Taco Filling and Pad Thai made with Konjac noodles and will be a featured in its Healthy Food Month promotion, while ALDI UK is slotting in Loma Linda's world famous TUNO™.
In addition, the company is increasing its distribution at Walmart stores, while also expanding its shelf space in-store to be available in the mainstream and ethnic aisles, in addition to the healthy food section where the products are located currently.
"We are not here to replace animal protein but to create a new category of food products that can feed future generations," stated J. Douglas Hines, founder and chairman of Atlantic Natural Foods, in an earlier Fox News interview. "Sustainable protein sources are a requirement – it is not up for debate. Looking ahead to 2020 with new creations and the first shelf-stable food service launch, our goals remain the same: to provide products that are healthy, affordable, portable, tasty, and also good for the planet."
The creation and wide acceptance of Atlantic Natural Foods' TUNO™ brand continues its rapid pace globally and will continue to disrupt the tuna industry as it proves its strong commitment to protect the world's resources and create alternative protein sources. Overfishing through unreported and unregulated operators on the fisheries, combined with the shocking amount of waste and ubiquitous materials in the oceans, demands change. Earlier this year, in one of the company's efforts to employ change, Atlantic Natural Foods petitioned to attend the Boston Seafood Show but was rejected by organizers as the show expressed it didn't want a plant-based product like TUNO at the event. "Despite having seaweed and algae in our product, we were denied admittance to the show. We're not tolerating this non-acceptance and will continue our unwavering mission to help the world feed 9 plus billion people by the year 2050 through our line of plant-based products while saving the oceans," said Hines.

One of the group's newest members, Colas Közlekedésépítő, was established as the legal successor of the Motorway Directorate in late 2016. Through the years, we have completed over 200 kilometres of motorway sections, including such large-scale investments as the 30-kilometre-long stretch of the M6 motorway between Szekszárd and Véménd, where we managed to build three viaducts and 32 other structures over a span of two years. We were also tasked with constructing concrete pavements in a length of 12 kilometres on the M31 and in a length of 20 kilometres on the M0 motorway ring around Budapest. In addition to the Nyíregyháza-Vásárosnamény leg of the M3, the M85 between Enese and Csorna, and the Szamos-Kraszna water inlet structure, we have proved our expertise in several bridge renovation jobs. In terms of organisation, Közlekedésépítő is divided into a structural department and a road construction department. The first three of the new firm's large projects were the Hódmezővásárhely bypass section of road 47, the Cegléd bypass leg of the M4 motorway, and the M35 motorway.
Bridges to connect people
At Colas Közlekedésépítő, we are proud to have been responsible for building both the country's second largest viaduct and several of the smaller bridges crossing our motorways. In recent years, we have been involved in the construction and remodelling of some 120 bridges of various sizes, as well as numerous other structures.
The seven bridges on the M3 east of Nyíregyháza, the bridge over railway lines at Mezőberény, the commuter railway bridge near the Csepel ridge-road all bear the mark of our works, but we also constructed the retaining walls on the southern sector of the M0 and the Szentgotthárd river barrage.
The company's flagship is the 866-metre-long Szebény viaduct. The 8,200-tonne steel structure was launched onto the piers (located some 100 m apart) at a speed of 5 mm per second. Never before has a bridge with such spans been built in Hungary with this technology
The steel structure of the M6 motorway's bridge over the Sió Channel was slid onto the piers along a 2500-metre-radius curve. As a first in the country, the deck slab was concreted with forming wagon technology, which involves formworks required for concreting works suspended and rolling on the steel structure of the bridge.

The Netherlands: 'Regimes fear content' – Speech by Arjan Hamburger
"Freedom to listen music is curtailed because regimes fear content, " said Arjan Hamburger, Human Rights Ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Netherlands in his speech at the opening of Music Freedom Day in the Hague on 3 March 2010.
Arjan Hamburger reminded the audience of why it is important to celebrate freedom of musical expression and why regimes in several countries intimidate and repress musicians.
Good evening and welcome to you all. I am delighted you made the effort to come here this evening, even though there were election results and a football match on TV, and you can hear all kinds of election-night music elsewhere in town. This is the first Music Freedom Day to be organised in the Netherlands. Similar events are being held in other cities today – in Cairo, Kabul and New York, to name but a few.
On this day we draw attention to two freedoms that we in the Netherlands take for granted: artists' freedom to compose music and write lyrics, and the freedom to perform and listen to music.
In many countries, these freedoms are curtailed and suppressed. It is extremely important that we address this issue. After all, both freedom of expression and the right to your own culture are universal human rights.
I should like to thank Freemuse for taking the initiative to launch this special day. And I also want to thank Het Paard van Troje for staging this event, and the Filmhuis, which will be showing the film Nobody Knows about Persian Cats tomorrow. This is a film about underground music in the most literal sense, in a country with one of the most repressive regimes in the world, Iran. Thanks are also due to the musicians who are here today to call attention to freedom of music and musicians. They are Brainpower from the Netherlands, and Take it Easy Hospital from Iran. After my introduction, a little background information from Freemuse's Ole Reitov, and the presentation of the CD with the wonderful title Listen to the Banned, both bands will perform.
In the Netherlands, we take making and listening to music for granted. Every kind of music is accessible, and music itself is almost seen as innocuous. Music makes people happy, or sad, moves or impresses, calms or excites. Music makes you dream and fills you with inspiration. Who could possibly be opposed to that?
But we're not only talking about love songs. Here we accept that musicians and their lyrics may be critical and socially engaged. Perhaps artists need that freedom more than anyone else. The law does impose a few restrictions – but only if a song incites its listeners to violence, hatred or discrimination.
But that is not the case in every country. Some regimes see music as anything but innocuous. They restrict musicians' freedom because of what they sing, and sometimes even for the mere fact that they sing. Take the Taliban in Afghanistan. They banned secular music because it made people feel happy. Some governments only permit music that glorifies the leader. This is the case with the beloved Kim Jong II of North Korea. But these are both weird extremes.
More frequently, musicians' freedom to perform their music and our freedom to listen to it are curtailed because regimes are afraid that they will indeed inspire people, or even worse, make them aware of their situation, prompt them to take action or stand up for their rights, and criticise abuses or their leaders. The same applies if leaders think that music contains a hidden message. They see that as harmful and threatening, because it is influential and undermines their authority. It is then that leaders intervene – through censorship, and outright bans. Musicians are prevented from working; they are arrested, tortured and jailed. Sometimes oppression takes more subtle forms: artists are intimidated so relentlessly that they censor themselves or leave the country. There are plenty of recent and not-so-recent examples of this kind of oppression: China, Cuba, Burma, Cameroon, Iran, and Fela Kuti in Nigeria.
Sometimes groups in society curtail artists' freedom. This happens not only in dictatorial developing countries. Take the boycott of the Dixie Chicks by conservative and religious – and sometimes not very conservative or religious – radio stations in the US when the group spoke out against President Bush's policies on Iraq. American 'patriots' took to the streets to smash the Dixie Chicks' CDs. This had nothing to do with music or lyrics. This was a threat to the freedom to express criticism, as an artist and an individual.
For us at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, freedom of expression (and thus freedom of artistic expression) is one of the most important human rights. And human rights are the backbone of our foreign policy.
Why are they so important to us? Partly because of the solidarity we feel with the many victims of the many serious violations occurring in so many parts of the world. But partly out of realism and self-interest. Countries that respect fundamental human rights contribute to a more stable world. That is in all our interests, as Dutch people, and as Europeans.
Our motto is: human rights for all people, in all places, at all times. No one may use their political or economic system, religion, tradition or culture as an excuse to contravene fundamental human rights.
That is easier said than done. And it is often an uphill struggle. Some governments believe that what happens within their borders is none of our business. They cite national sovereignty, or their own 'special circumstances'. This is their country, and they are the boss. For our part, we say that in signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and various other UN agreements, and by becoming members of the United Nations they have made commitments, which we can hold them responsible for fulfilling. And they are, of course, entitled to do the same with us.
We are extremely active when it comes to freedom of expression. For example, we support media diversity so that people have access to more than just state-controlled broadcasters and publications. Burma, China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Belarus, Zimbabwe and a number of Arab states are examples of countries where we have taken action. Music plays an important part in our efforts.
But neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the Netherlands can promote human rights on its own. We work together with the European Union, and with the United Nations. And we also work extensively with local non-governmental organisations, because change must ultimately come from within.
What can you do to help banned or oppressed musicians? Start by making them and their work known to a wider public. By listening to their music and lyrics, and by sharing them with other people, if possible in the countries where they are banned – through Hyves, Facebook and YouTube, for instance. Being known helps. It can provide protection, and it can increase musicians' and music's influence on society.
Ole Reitov from Denmark, Freemuse's programme manager, has more to say about the music of the banned. Let him tell you what Freemuse stands for, why an organisation like this is needed, and what we can do to help.
Let me end by wishing you a fun and inspirational time today.

Music Freedom Day is not a campaign for free downloading of music — it is about freedom of expression: advocating that everyone should be free to express oneself through music.
