COVID Updates Round Up
» COVID Updates Round Up
COVID-19 Updates Round-Up
By Preston I.A.D. Parsons, Kai Ying Chieh and Gurpreet Gill
Loans for Big Business
Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the next phase of support measures for business with the introduction of the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility ("LEEFF").
The purpose of LEEFF is to assist large employers. It is intended to be bridge financing, rather than a bailout, for large businesses. The purpose of the new program is to protect workers, protect jobs and avoid bankruptcies.
LEEFF will cover companies with revenues of $300 million or more, providing loans up to $60 million and guarantees of up to $80 million.
The government is also extending the business credit program which was initially for small businesses, to include mid-size businesses that need more capital. The EDC (Export Development Canada) and BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada) will work with the private sector to increase access to capital in the tens of millions for Canadian companies in all industry sectors across Canada.
Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy
The Federal government also announced that the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") is now going to be extended past June. No details have yet been provided on the specifics of the extension, though they are expected to be coming soon.
BC's Restart Plan
On May 6, 2020 the BC Government announced the BC Restart Plan (the "Plan"), aimed at mapping out the gradual re-opening of the economy while balancing ongoing public health concerns. The Plan sets out four distinct phases and a tentative timeline for the return of businesses in various industries.
Subject to the COVID-19 transmission rate remaining low or declining as expected based on the continued use of risk reduction measures such as ongoing physical distancing, the Plan anticipates the following timeframes for reopening various sectors of the economy:
Phase 1 – current operations
We are currently at Phase 1 of the Plan. During this time, industries designated as essential services have continued to operate in many cases, including essential health care, transportation, manufacturing, financial institutions, and other critical organizations.
Phase 2 – to commence mid-May
The Plan anticipates that as of May 19, certain businesses that did not fall under the essential services designation will be permitted to re-open under special enhanced protocols. Key businesses that will be permitted to re-open include the restoration of medical services; certain personal service establishments such as hair salons; child care; recreational services such as museums and sports sites; and perhaps most significantly the retail sector and office-based worksites.
Phase 3 – June to September
Assuming that the transmission rate remains low after Phase 2, the Plan anticipates a series of industries will be able to re-open on a progressive basis from June to September, as follows:
June: Hotels, resorts, and parks
June to July: the film industry, first with domestic productions
July: movie theatres and symphonies, but not large concerts
September: post-secondary education with a mix of online and in class
Phase 4 – to be determined and conditional on one of vaccination; community immunity; or broad successful treatments
Activities requiring large gatherings including conventions, professional sports, and concerts, as well as international tourism, will not begin again until one of the above public health measures is met.
The complete Plan can be viewed at this link.
While the Plan represents good news for businesses that are hoping to re-open as soon as possible, we caution that employers looking to open their doors and resume the normal course of business will be required to implement enhanced safety protocols.
Where sectors have been shut down by a Provincial Health Officer Order, re-opening will be subject to the approval of the Provincial Health Officer and it is expected that sector-specific protocols will be issued after consultation with industry associations. All employers, even those currently open but under reduced operations, will be subject to WorkSafeBC Health and Safety Guidelines. Employers will be expected to adopt appropriate COVID "Safe Plans", including by enacting policies around who can be in the workplace, including policies around sick workers and travellers, and implementing measures to reduce risk in the workplace.
We encourage our clients with questions about managing the return to operations to reach out to us well in advance of their anticipated return.
Essential Workers Wage Top-Up
On Thursday, May 7, 2020, the Prime Minister announced that a deal was reached with the provinces with respect to wage top-up for essential workers dealing with COVID-19. However, he said it was up to provincial governments to decide who gets the raise. The federal government is providing approximately $3 billion for the program with the provinces contributing an additional $1 billion. Questions concerning who gets paid and the amount are to be determined by each province. Plans to assist essential workers with wage top ups were initially announced on April 15, 2020.
We await specific details from the government of British Columbia regarding who specifically will be eligible for the top-up and how much the top-up will be. When the Prime Minister made the initial announcement on April 15, 2020, he mentioned those working in long term care facilities. However, each province has discretion in regards to who will qualify for the essential wage increase. The purpose is to provide a wage increase for those who are risking their lives during this health crisis.
Union leaders across Canada are commending the federal government on the wage top-up but stress that the government should allow the higher pay to continue past the COVID-19 pandemic. We can expect the various government announcements during this health crisis to continue to be topics of debate even beyond the pandemic.
Canada Emergency Student Benefit
The Canada Emergency Student Benefit Act received royal assent on Tuesday May 5, 2020, following announcements of a $9 billion package to assisting students that was made by the government on April 22, 2020. Our newsletter of April 24, 2020 outlined the breakdown of the $9 billon package.
To briefly recap, the CESB is available to students who were ineligible for CERB or EI and who are unable to work full-time due to COVID-19. They will receive $1,250 per month for up to four months from May – August 2020. Students with disabilities and students with dependents will receive an additional $750 per month.
More details will be made available regarding the application process soon. Current details can be found on the government website here.
In addition, the restriction that prevents international students from working more than 20 hours a week while classes are in session will be removed for those students who work in an essential service or function. This restriction has been eased until August 31, 2020.
BC Minimum Wage
British Columbia is set to increase the minimum wage on June 1, 2020. There are currently no announcements that the scheduled increase will not go ahead as planned. Currently the minimum wage is $13.85 per hour. It will increase to $14.60 on June 1, 2020. Minimum wage applies regardless of how employees are paid, be it hourly, salary, commission or on an incentive basis.
In the ever-changing wake of COVID-19, governments continue to adapt and introduce new measures supporting employers and employees in British Columbia and throughout Canada. Further direct changes to labour relations law and employment law are possibly on the horizon as well.
We encourage businesses to stay apprised of the forms of relief becoming available for them and their employees. Our lawyers remain available to advise on all workplace law matters experienced by you or your business as this situation continues to evolve. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance to you during this challenging time.

CHICAGO -- Put a job that requires hard work in front of Ryan Kesler and the Vancouver Canucks forward won't shy away from it.
"We can't let them get their transition game get started," Kesler said of watching the Chicago Blackhawks rally in each of the first two games and earn a 1-1 split of the Western Conference Semifinals at Vancouver. "We need 60 minutes of hard work."
Kesler set up Mason Raymond for the game's first goal and with a solid two-way effort for 60 minutes helped the Canucks gain a 3-1 victory in Game 3 to give Vancouver a 2-1 edge in the series.
Canucks coach Alain Vigneault stood in front of reporters in the first round of the playoffs talking about how difficult a decision it was to break up his shutdown defensive unit that centered around center Ryan Kesler and winger Alex Burrows.
"They were difference makers for us," Vigneault explained. "They'd stop the best lines in the game ... and still manage to score some important goals as well. I didn't want to break them up, but ..."
After Mats Sundin joined the Canucks as a free agent in January and struggled at first, Vigneault thought long and hard about how he could get two strong scoring lines going in order to get his team back in the playoff race.
"No, I didn't just wake up on the wrong side of my bed one day and say I was going to move Ryan to right wing with Sundin and Pavol Demitra and also move Alex to the line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin," Vigneault said back on Feb. 10, the morning before he put Burrows on a line with the twins for the first time. "One-line teams don't win in the NHL, so I had to try something. And, as it turned out, two valuable players like Kesler and Burrows became even more valuable to the team."
"When I was in St. Louis, 'Kes' was always hard to play against," Canucks center Ryan Johnson recalledc. "It's those intangibles he brings to the rink. Drive. Determination. A hard as nails edge to his game and, of course, his work ethic that is so great."
But those first impressions after Kesler turned pro were decidedly different -- he had just 3 goals and 8 assists in 33 games for the Manitoba Moose and another 2 goals and 3 assists for the Canucks as a rookie in the 2003-04 season.
A second look proved necessary for both Kesler and Burrows this season as Ryan became a point-a-game player with 34 points, including 17 goals, in his final 34 games -- not to mention being nominated as one of the final three candidates for the Selke Award as the top defensive forward.
The turning point to Kesler's career came in June of 2007, when Bobby Clarke, then the GM of the Philadelphia Flyers, shocked the rest of the league by signing Kesler to a one-year, $1.75 million restricted free-agent offer sheet. The total seemed outrageous for a guy who had just 2, 10 and 6 goals in his first three seasons with the Canucks.
"Bobby Clarke did me a favor," Kesler said. "That contract he signed me to motivated me as a person and player. I was glad the Canucks matched the offer sheet. It made me challenged myself to be a better player in Vancouver ... and that's just what I needed."
Kesler responded with 21 goals in 2007-08 and then had career-highs with 26 goals and 59 points this season.
"His speed makes him very, very dangerous, that, plus he has the hands to get the puck to his linemates quickly and then his competitive edge takes over," Vigneault raved.
"Since I got here," Sundin said, "Ryan Kesler has been our best forward."
"He proved himself. Now, I could see him scoring 30 goals a year for several years," Burrows said. "One thing, for sure, no matter who he plays with his plus-minus will always be in the plus because he works so hard."
One more testimonial -- and perhaps the most telling.
The possibility exists that Vancouver could play Anaheim in the Western Conference Finals. That would put Kesler against his former Manitoba coach Randy Carlyle, who has made quite the name for himself as coach of the Ducks.
"With Ryan Kesler, I think there was a label that he wouldn't be any more than 'X,' " Carlyle said a while back. "It was my belief that he could be X, Y and Z because he was much more of a complete player than he was projected to be.
"He finds a way to elevate his game."
Voila! Power forward. Great wheels. And not just X, but X, Y and Z as a complete package.
Hard work has never been a problem for Kesler, the Livonia, Michigan, native, who brings a Midwestern work ethic that was nurtured at home by his dad, Mike, a former Colorado College forward. Mike Kesler coaches a Junior B hockey when he's not working as a project manager for Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Linda Kesler, Ryan's mom, owns her own shop in Detroit. That's where the hard work came from.
Ryan's work ethic then grew with the U.S. National Development Program in Ann Arbor, then in one year at Ohio State University before being selected by the Canucks with the 23rd pick of the 2003 Entry Draft.
The ABC's of Ryan Kesler's development started when he was six and he attended Mike's hockey school in Livonia each summer from then until he was 17.
"I'd be on the ice for three hours a day during the hockey school and the first hour was power skating," says Kesler, who started skating at age four. "In the winter, we had a backyard rink, so it was skating, skating and more skating. My dad helped me fine-tune it."
But no player, not even Wayne Gretzky or Sidney Crosby has had an obstacle to overcome to make him stronger as a person to get to the NHL For Kesler, it came when he was 13-14.
"I got cut from every Triple A team I tried out for," Ryan admitted. "Luckily, my dad, who was coaching a bantam team in Livonia, gave me a chance to play for him. It was against guys who were at least a year older than me. It was tough, but playing against those guys made me tougher."
The U.S. Development Program and Ohio State were the next big steps. But Kesler's biggest confidence builder in his young career came in 2002, when Ryan helped the U.S. World Junior team win the told medal in Helsinki, Finland, as Kesler scored the tying goal against Canada and was chosen the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Ryan Kesler had only one assist in Vancouver's four-game sweep over St. Louis in the first round of the playoffs. Now, he's had one goal in the Canucks win in Game 1 and in addition to contributing a key assist in Game 3, the 6-2, 205-pounder put the pow back into his power forward game with three shots, three hits, one blocked shot in a solid 22 minutes, 1 second of action Tuesday night.

The tale of the chemist's assistant who was buried alive
In a gruesome tale reminiscent of the work of Edgar Allan Poe, Richard Ault tells how an 18th-century chemist's assistant came to be buried alive

Thomas Meaykin's grave at Rushton Spencer

Imagine the horror at waking up in a cramped and pitch black subterranean space – slowly suffocating to death 6ft under while trapped in your own coffin.
You can see nothing, but as you feel with your hands, you recognise the confined dimensions of the grave surrounding you. You can barely move. You push at the sides and the top of the box you are entombed in, but it doesn't give.
The pinewood is strong and packed tight in the ground, buried deep under the weight of masses of dirt.
Inevitably you panic, and start to punch, kick and claw at your coffin. You cry desperately for help, but no-one hears. It is all just wasted breath. All your efforts achieve is to use up your meagre air supply.
Slowly, as the carbon dioxide you exhale fills up the tomb, your strength ebbs. You feel dizzy and sick. Mercifully, the panic ebbs out of your body as you pass out.
For many, that scenario is their worst nightmare. There is a medical term for the irrational fear of being buried alive – taphophobia. Some even instruct their relatives to bury them with a mobile phone, just in case.
In one of the most gruesome tales from Staffordshire's past, that hellish internment was precisely the predicament suffered by a chemist's assistant.
Thomas Meaykin, son of Thomas and Mary Meaykin, moved from his home at Rushton to Stone to take up service with a reputable family in the town.
He worked as an assistant for an apothecary, or pharmacist, and soon became a familiar sight around town, delivering ointments and medicines to those in need.
Unfortunately for Thomas, he caught the eye of the master's daughter.
Whether her affections were returned is not known, but the news did not find favour with the apothecary himself.
The real story of Burslem witch, Molly Leigh
He no doubt wanted a match between his daughter and some well-to-do gentleman about town, someone who would bring prestige and additional wealth to the family.
The thought of his daughter betrothed to his own lowly assistant was more than he could take.
Soon after this, poor Thomas was struck down with a mystery illness. At the age of just 21, Thomas died suddenly in the summer of 1781. It was a time when mortality rates were high and sudden death far from uncommon.
Still, the mysterious death of a young man who had regularly been seen around Stone, looking in the peak of health, must have come as a surprise to many and possibly raised the suspicions of some.
On July 16, 1781, Thomas, son of Thomas and Mary Meaykin, was buried, at St Michael's Church, in Stone. The funeral came to an end, the mourners left the church and that would have been the end of the matter.
St Michael's Church, Stone
Except later, one of the master's horses – which Thomas had groomed for, and was clearly fond of him – found its way to the churchyard and started to kick at the earth that covered the grave.
He was led away, but the next day he was back again, digging away at the dirt with his hooves.
Rumours began to fly around the town. Talk of the sad and mysterious demise of Thomas Meaykin filled the inns around Stone.
The Headless Horseman of Butterton Moor
At first town and church leaders dismissed the rumblings as the simple talk of common folk. The apothecary went about his business and tried to ignore the growing outcry.
But months later, the rumours had still not been quelled.
Eventually, at least a year after Thomas was buried, the town leaders decided his coffin must be dug up to finally silence the gossip once and for all.
Grave diggers ploughed up the earth and the coffin was dragged up to the surface. When it was prised open, poor Thomas's cadaver was not lying peacefully, as when he had been laid to rest the year before.
The corpse was turned over, as if he had struggled within the coffin, his fingernails cracked and broken. Thomas Meaykin had been buried alive.
How Boggart came to haunt Kidsgrove
Thomas Meaykin is first mentioned in John Sleigh's 1862 History of Leek, when the author explains that the tale was the, 'history of this young man, as related by elderly people who can recollect the circumstance'.
In Sleigh's account: "After his internment, a pony of his master's, of which he had been the groom, got into the churchyard and attempted to tear up the earth over his coffin. Some suspicions were engendered in the minds of his friends that he had not come by his death fairly, or by natural means.
"These became intense. At length, after he had been interred for some time – it is said at least 12 months – he was taken up, the coffin opened, and the body found to be turned over.
"It was then conjectured that some powerful but not sufficiently fatal narcotic had been administered; that while under its influence, he had been committed to the ground; and the discovery took place as above related.
"His remains were removed by his relations to the place of his nativity and re-interred with the foregoing memorial."
Did lone pedlar wander into the cannibals' den?
No doubt Thomas's angry friends suspected it was his own master, the apothecary, who had committed his murder.
Certainly he was a man with the knowledge and means to poison his assistant. The prospect of Thomas marrying the pharmacist's daughter also gave him a motive.
But no charges were ever brought, no official accusations made, apart from whispers in the hostelries.
As an apothecary, Thomas's master would have been an important man around Stone. It seems his status kept him out of the courts and the gallows.
This was also a time long before the advent of forensic evidence and it would be difficult if not impossible to prove that Thomas had been poisoned.
On July 17, 1782, almost a year to the day that he was first interred, Thomas was re-buried at Rushton Spencer, in the churchyard of St Lawrence.
St Lawrence's Church, Rushton Spencer
He was buried with his feet facing towards the west, the opposite way round to the other graves in the church, because it was believed this would allow his ghost to rest.
Three different languages are used in his headstone. The tombstone reads: "Memento Mori. Thomas son of Thomas and Mary Meaykin, interred July 16, 1781, aged 21 years. As a man falleth before wicked men, so fell I. Bia Thanatos.
Supernatural Staffordshire: Just what was under the bed?
'Memento Mori is a Latin phrase meaning, 'remember you must die'. Thanatos is the personification of death in Greek mythology. 'Bia Thanatos' basically means to die violently.
Thomas's tombstone makes it very clear that his death was a result of foul play at the hands of a 'wicked man'.
A wicked man who, in this case, never faced justice.

THE saying "If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain." is definitely true for one St Neots man.
THE saying "If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain." is definitely true for one St Neots man.
Karl Bucknell, 27, is preparing to fly out to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
At a colossal 5,895 meters above sea level, and rising from the plains of Tanzania, many would shy away from the challenge.
But for the self-confessed wild-life nut, it is the perfect way of raising money for his beloved charity, the BBC Wildlife Fund.
Karl told The Hunts Post: "I've been so inspired by watching other people raise money for charity by doing something 'big' that I wanted to do it myself.
"I decided to join up with a Charity Challenge led trek to Kilimanjaro to try and raise as much money as possible for the BBC Wildlife Fund.
Karl will fly out to Tanzania on September 10 and begin the nine-day trek the following day.
But before then, there is the task of as raising as much money as possible to fund the Charity Challenge itself.
As part of his fundraising effort, Karl is hosting a party at the Eaton Socon football club on April 16, which will include a disco, auction, raffle, quiz, competitions and buffet.
Up to now, he's managed to secure a signed football from Arsenal, some Swarowski crystal and other top prizes for auction.

This is a popular choice for large corporations and brand names that will not modify their brand image to keep costs low. With a 4CP custom binder there is no limit to the number of colors, tints, or shades that can be printed.
Foil stamping is most popular when you want a metallic look, and is especially popular with gold and silver foils. Solid color foils, as well as metallics in other colors are also available. Some customers will even ask for a black foil on a black binder, which gives an understated glossy design look. The foil stamping process may create a very slight depression into the vinyl, but it is not like a deboss (scroll down for info on debossing).
A blind deboss is an impression that is pressed into a ring binder that is made with a thicker material. The impression does not have any color and creates a depressed design that looks expensive and classy. It is especially popular for high end restaurants and corporations that want an understatded look for their custom branded products.
Depending on the deboss design you use, color can be printed along with it to create a depressed design that also has that extra pop. With a deboss/printing combination custom binder, you get the classy look of the pressed-in logo, with the clear edges that the color contrast adds.
With a deboss and foil stamp you can blend the depressed stamped look with the pop of a metallic foil. The edges are crisp and easy to read, and the pressed-in look is expensive -- this look is sure to impress your clients.
* The minimum quantity for custom binders is the starting minimum, and may vary depending on the specific customization needs. Call (866)537-2244 (866)537-2244 to discuss your individual needs and determine the minimum order requirement.
Q: What is the curved spine binder called?
This is called a "Euro Hinge Spine" and is made with our specialized equipment that creates multiple creases on a flat spine and curved them to form the U-shape.
Q: Can you make a box cover for the binders?
Yes, we call this a "slip case". Most commonly they are open on one end for easy sliding in and out of one or more binders, but we can also make boxes with top-loading, wrap-around closures, and anything else you can imagine.
Q: Do you have more options?
Yes! Our options for custom ring binders are truly limitless; please call our custom binder experts at (866)537-2244 to discuss your exact needs, so they can guide you in the right direction.
Q: What kind of file do you need for printing?
Please take a look at our artwork requirements to see the file type and size that we require to create the highest quality custom binders. If you need help with the file, we have an art department that can assist with some kinds of modifications.

NASA's Orion due to splash down after historic Moon mission | Space News
Posted on December 11, 2022 by zraam2021
NASA's Orion capsule is because of splash down within the Pacific Ocean after wrapping up a three-week check flight that included an in depth go on the Moon and a journey additional into house than any earlier liveable spacecraft.
The capsule is anticipated to splash down at 17:39 GMT on Sunday (9:39am native time) off the Mexican island of Guadalupe.
Orion's launch final month – with a simulated crew of three mannequins – kicked off NASA's Artemis programme, which goals to take individuals again to the Moon and put together for an onward journey, sometime, to Mars.
Thus far, Orion's flight has gone very nicely, in keeping with NASA.
In late November, the capsule reached its farthest level in house, venturing 432,210km (268,563 miles) from Earth whereas halfway by way of its 25-day mission. That's almost 32,187km (20,000 miles) past the file distance set by the crew of Apollo 13 in 1970, which aborted its lunar touchdown and returned to Earth after a virtually catastrophic mechanical failure.
On Monday, Orion sailed inside 130km (80 miles) of the lunar floor, attaining the closest strategy to the Moon for a spacecraft constructed to hold people since Apollo 17 flew half a century in the past.
However, it's only within the closing minutes of Orion's voyage on Sunday that the true problem comes – seeing if the capsule's warmth defend, the most important ever constructed, truly holds up.
The spacecraft – which is anticipated to hurtle into the Earth's ambiance at a pace of 40,000kmph (25,000mph) – should stand up to a temperature of two,800 levels Celsius (5,072 levels Fahrenheit) – about half that of the floor of the solar.

The primary check of the capsule was carried out in 2014 however then the capsule stayed in Earth's orbit, so it got here again into the ambiance at a slower pace of about 32,187kmph.
Mike Sarafin, Artemis's mission supervisor, stated Orion's warmth defend was "a safety-critical piece of kit".
"It's designed to guard the spacecraft and the passengers, the astronauts on board. So the warmth defend must work," he stated.
NASA has dispatched a US navy ship, the USS Portland, in addition to helicopters and inflatable boats to get well the Orion capsule.
As soon as it's within the water, NASA will let Orion float for 2 hours – rather a lot longer than if astronauts had been inside – in order to gather information that's essential for future missions.
"We'll see how the warmth soaks again into the crew module and the way that impacts the temperature inside," stated Jim Geffre, NASA's Orion car integration supervisor.
Different info to be collected contains the situation of the vessel after its flight, information from screens that measure acceleration and vibration, and the efficiency of a particular vest placed on a model within the capsule to check the best way to shield individuals from radiation whereas flying by way of house.
If the mission succeeds, a crewed Artemis II flight across the Moon and again may come as early as 2024, however nonetheless with out touchdown on it.
NASA is anticipated to call the astronauts chosen for this journey quickly.
Artemis III, scheduled for 2025, will see a spacecraft land for the primary time on the south pole of the Moon, which options water within the type of ice.
Solely 12 individuals – all of them white males – have set foot on the Moon. They did this in the course of the Apollo missions, the final of which was in 1972.
Artemis is scheduled to ship a girl and an individual of color to the Moon for the primary time.
NASA's objective is to determine a long-lasting human presence on the Moon by way of a base on its floor and an area station circling round it.
Having individuals be taught to reside on the Moon ought to assist engineers develop applied sciences for a years-long journey to Mars, possibly within the late 2030s.

New Delhi, May 8 (IANS) A Sikh charity's mission to fight the ills of society by bringing value-based education to the doorsteps of India's rural children has now become a sough-after lesson in management, thanks to a case study on this charity by prominent scholars, including one from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A).
And why not? After all, the strategy of this social enterprise introduced by the Himachal Pradesh-based Kalgidhar Trust-Society led to stellar growth of its educational institutions, particularly the Akal Academies — from one school in 1986 to 129 schools catering to 70,000 students in 2018.
Co-authored by Vijaya Sherry Chand, the study, titled "The Akal Academies", not only got featured in Harvard Business Review's case study collection, but also won the "Philip Thomas Memorial Case Award for the Best Case" in IIM-A at its 53 rd Annual Convocation in March this year, the Kalgidhar Trust said in a statement.
"The key factor that makes our schools different from others is that we impart value-based education to students, which is a blend of both spiritual and modern scientific education," Baba Iqbal Singh, a spiritual leader of the Sikh community and President of the trust, told IANS in an email interaction.
Another Sikh spiritual leader, Sant Attar Singh, who conceptualised the mission of synthesising scientific education with moral values, founded the charity along with Sant Teja Singh and Baba Iqbal Singh at Baru Sahib in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh in 1963 to spread the message of universal brotherhood.
The educational framework, adopted by the Kalgidhar Trust, gives equal importance to both character development as well as academic attainment of underprivileged children in rural areas.
"Our medium-term goal is to build a network of 500 schools and educate a million kids by the next decade," Davinder Singh, Secretary of the trust, added.
While the educational activities of the trust have mainly been limited to the northern parts of India, it focuses on reaching out to kids of those areas which are generally missed out by both the public and the private education providers.
For example, the areas near the India-Pakistan border where well-functioning schools are few and far between, have been the hotbed of educational activities for the Kalgidhar Trust.
"The schools there are poorly staffed as no teacher wants to go near a conflict zone. Moreover, due to higher rates of unemployment in the border districts as well as in the nearby towns, the youth have been easy recruits for mafias," Baba Iqbal Singh said.
What has driven the success of Akal Academies are the Trust's focus on training teachers, maintaining a student-teacher ratio of one teacher per 20 students and getting the community involved in building the schools.
By motivating local donors to donate their lands and encouraging local volunteers to actively help in setting up the schools, the organisation tries to create a sense of ownership and accountability within the community.
On an average a student needs to pay around Rs 24,000 per year in tuition fees, the trust officials said, adding that around 19,000 of its students enjoy free or subsidised education.
While a 400-student school can meet the operational cost of the school, a 600-student size helps in meeting the construction cost as well, they added.
The bedrock of the financial management of the Akal Academy, the officials said, is strict separation of capital investment and operational expenditure. It focuses on financial self-sufficiency of each school, preferably within four years.
The Kalgidhar Trust's work on rural education sends an important message – noble intentions must also be backed by sound financial strategies and unswerving commitment to a cause.

Talkin' Schmoedown #5: 2018 SCHMOEDOWN AWARDS + NY LIVE EVENT PREVIEW!!
On the latest episode of Talkin' Schmoedown, I break down the 2018 Schmoedown Awards, which aired on Friday, Jan. 25th. I also give my spoiler-free thoughts on the very first live streaming event from NY!


With December here, I received a small handful of requests about ski clothes. Honestly, the whole ski thing is incredibly new to me. I only just learned how to ski last year. So I'm definitely n.o.t. an expert on the whole "what to wear" thing. But I am trying and learning so I'll share what's been working for me.
– Rue La La will start to have "ski sales" any day now. Last year, there was one every week it seemed. I bought my helmet, goggles, pants, and coat from Rue last year because they were heavily discounted and I had no idea if I would actually like skiing. Rue La La is best if you know your sizing and what brands you're interested in. Garrett picked everything out for me because I was clueless, but ended up with Salomon pants/coat which were perfect.
Helmet // I have an older version of this helmet and love it. Probably the most important piece of your "outfit." Safety is the most important thing, skilled or not skilled. I like this helmet in particular because it keeps my ears warm and the strap around the chin is super soft and comfortable.
Goggles // I upgraded my goggles this year to these. I had the same brand last year, just a cheaper version. Comfortable goggles also helps make the day easier. I like these because I forget I'm wearing them altogether!
Gaiter // The gaiter is pretty necessary on cold days. You just slip it over your head and you can pull it up over your mouth or push it down if you're warmer. I have a love/hate relationship with these because if I start to feel panicky on the mountain I immediately start feeling claustrophobic. However, I'll take being warm and comfortable over anything else at the end of the day.
Gloves // I tried on a bunch of gloves last year and fell in love with these. They're so warm. Cold hands is the worst. The wrist straps, in my opinion, are a must.
Base Layer Pants // Last year I wore old crew gear for my base layers… I doubled up on base layer pants which wasn't that comfortable after a few hours. This year, I bought a pair of Hot Chillys!
Base Layer Top // I also upgraded my base layer tops for the year. Hoping it helps with my level of comfort and flexibility in addition to overall warmth.
Fleece // These fleeces are the perfect mid-layer for me. I wear it over my base and under my coat. At lunch, you can slip off your coat without being exposed in your base layer.
Jacket // I made an investment in this coat. A friend had a discount code for the holiday season and I took advantage of it! After trying it on in my apartment, I can already tell it will keep me extra warm on the mountain!
Socks // Socks are a make it or break it kind of deal. These are padded at the right spots, especially the shins!! Life savers, I tell you.
We don't "go out" after skiing. We mostly hang out, play games, cook dinner, relax… go to bed early. So we're definitely not pulling out all the stops or dressing to the nines. I'm all for just being cozy!
Add little black pants or super soft leggings and you're good to go!
It's so awesome you've fallen in love with skiing, Carly! I grew up skiing in VT and spend every xmas there, but kind of fell out of love with it recently because I can't handle being cold, haha. This year I'm going to try REALLY HARD to be a champ. Hand warmers for the win, right?!
I agree, Backcountry is a fabulous company to buy from. I also love REI because they allow you to return items up to one year after you buy them, so not as much pressure to decide if you do or do not like something, right?
I'm heading to Iceland and I'm stocking up on several of these!
Perfect outfit ideas! I love how you put them together, I'm perfectly ready for winter.

Amy Thomson quits as manager of Swedish House Mafia after 14 years with DJ trio
By Music Business Worldwide
Amy Thomson is no longer managing Swedish House Mafia.
The ATM Artists founder made the announcement on social media yesterday (August 16), explaining that the split was entirely amicable on both sides.
Thomson has managed the dance group for nearly 15 years, while the trio – Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso – began playing live again in March this year following a five-year hiatus.
Writing on Instagram, Thomson said: "Thanks for all the messages I got hit with about this [reformation]. But I guess now is the time to say that in May this year I told the boys I would be leaving at the end of summer 2018. In this industry people expect you to stay in projects that make you powerful. Ego. Pride. Power. Money. All of that. But for me I have learned that life changes you and what you want to do with that gift is a gift in itself.
"We changed the game so many times through everything from brave hearts to sheer blindness."
"It was a big decision after 14 years but one I made for myself. I wish them so much joy and happiness and success and I will be watching proudly but the era of me with the boys is at an end. And what an era it was. We changed the game so many times through everything from brave hearts to sheer blindness. What a ride. But for me life's changed now. The future belongs to a new set of people around them and I wish them luck with all my heart. And I suppose telling people in this way is not very CEO of me. But that's not who I am.
"My passion got me here not a boardroom. Thank you to everyone who helped us. Who put up with us. The fans who stayed with us. We made history. But most of all to my daughter who shared me with this crazy ride without ever complaining. We Came. We Raved. I Loved it. Thank you so much. Amy x"
Swedish House Mafia disbanded in 2013 before reforming this year.
Thomson stopped managing Axwell & Ingrosso individually in 2015.
In June, Thomson announced that she was launching an intensive one-week educational course in the music business.
'Mind Your Own Business', will launch in October in London, and run for five days back-to-back (Monday, Oct 22 – Friday, Oct 26).Music Business Worldwide

Filipe V (Versalhes,  – Madrid, ), apelidado de "o Animoso", foi o Rei da Espanha em duas ocasiões diferentes, primeiro de 1700 até sua abdicação em janeiro de 1724 em favor de seu filho Luís I, e depois ao assumir o trono novamente em setembro de 1724 até sua morte. Era filho de Luís, Delfim da França e sua esposa Maria Ana Vitória da Baviera.

Filipe era o neto do rei Luís XIV da França. Seu pai tinha a reivindicação mais forte ao trono espanhol quando este ficou vago em 1700 com a morte do rei Carlos II. Entretanto, como ele e seu irmão Luís, Duque da Borgonha, não podiam perder seu lugar na sucessão francesa, Filipe foi nomeado sucessor de Carlos. Como a união da França e da Espanha sob um único monarca poderia desequilibrar o poder na Europa, as outras potências tomaram passos para impedir isso. Sua ascensão ao trono espanhol causou a Guerra da Sucessão Espanhola durante catorze anos, terminando apenas com o Tratado de Utrecht que proibia que os dois reinos fossem unidos.

Filipe sucedeu seu tio-avô Carlos II, tendo sido o primeiro monarca espanhol da Casa de Bourbon. A soma de seus dois reinados, 45 anos e 21 dias, é a mais longa da história da monarquia espanhola.

Família
Filipe da França, Duque de Anjou era filho de Luís, Grande Delfim de França e da sua esposa Maria Ana Vitória da Baviera. Pertencia a Casa de Bourbon. Seus avós paternos eram o rei Luís XIV da França, o "Rei Sol", e a infanta espanhola Maria Teresa, filha do rei Filipe IV e meia-irmã de Carlos II. A mãe de Filipe, Maria Ana Vitória, era filha do Príncipe-eleitor da Baviera e de Henriqueta Adelaide de Saboia. Ambos seus pais eram bisnetos do rei Henrique IV da França e Maria de Médici.

Rei da Espanha

O cada vez mais ambicioso Luís XIV desejava ardentemente estender o domínio da sua família à vizinha Espanha, e dessa forma adquirir as ricas possessões da América Espanhola. Contudo, as outras potências europeias receavam a união de dois Estados tão poderosos, tanto quanto a França temia uma reunião da Espanha e da Áustria de novo sobre a cabeça de um Habsburgo. Daí ter-se gerado um conflito, motivado pela sucessão de Carlos II de Espanha, que morrera sem filhos, mas designara Filipe como seu sucessor. O Sacro-Imperador Romano Leopoldo I, parente próximo do rei defunto, julgando-se ter mais direitos ao trono de Espanha, iniciou as hostilidades, e assim teve início a Guerra de Sucessão da Espanha, a qual Filipe sairia vitorioso, e, que terminaria com a assinatura do Tratado de Utrecht (1713).

Embora tivesse saído vencedor e permanecido como rei de Espanha, teve que ceder à Grã-Bretanha a ilha de Menorca, nas Baleares, assim como o rochedo de Gibraltar, e aos Habsburgos da Áustria os Países Baixos Espanhóis. A perda dos territórios mencionados marcou o início do declínio espanhol na Europa, por oposição ao da França, agora senhora praticamente incontestada no Continente Europeu, e da Grã-Bretanha, que dominava as rotas do comércio mundial.

A 14 de Janeiro de 1724, Filipe abdicou do trono a favor do seu filho mais velho, Luís I, mas voltaria a assumir a coroa de Espanha sete meses mais tarde, quando o seu filho faleceu, vítima de varíola.

Filipe ajudou os seus familiares em França a conseguir significativos ganhos territoriais durante as guerras de sucessão na Polônia e Áustria, e, favoreceu e promoveu o comércio entre a Espanha e suas colônias americanas.

Últimos anos
Embora o seu governo tenha contribuído para uma melhoria significativa do Estado da Espanha, que ficara muito enfraquecida durante o reinado da dinastia de Habsburgo, para o fim da vida, Filipe viu-se afligido por uma depressão, caindo como outros antecessores do trono espanhol, num estado de grande melancolia. Sua segunda esposa, Isabel Farnésio, dominava o monarca. Ela deu-lhe outros filhos, incluindo outro sucessor, Carlos III de Espanha.

Em 1737, sua melancolia foi aliviada pelo cantor de ópera Farinelli, que se tornou o músico oficial da Corte. Farinelli cantava oito ou nove árias para o rei e a rainha todas as noites, geralmente com um trio de músicos.

Em 1740, Filipe influenciado pela Bula In eminenti do Papa Clemente XII, promulgou um Édito contra os maçons.

Filipe morreu em 9 de julho de 1746 no Palácio do Bom Retiro, mas foi enterrado em seu palácio favorito o Palácio Real de La Granja de San Ildefonso, perto de Segóvia. Por sua morte, viria a ser sucedido por Fernando VI, seu filho, segundo da sua primeira esposa, Maria Luísa de Saboia; quando este também morreu sem descendentes, foi sucedido pelo filho que teve do segundo casamento, Carlos III.
