When Personal Passions & Purpose at Work Pair Up

How one Benevity-ite's volunteer efforts for helping women in tech became a workplace initiative
A few weeks ago, I came home from a meeting at Chic Geek (a Calgary-based community to support women interested in tech) and opened my laptop to find an email from Benevity's CEO, Bryan de Lottinville. At first, I thought it was an office-wide notice. Then I saw my name alongside a handful of female leaders from different teams, whom I admire. So I re-read the email carefully. Bryan asked us to put our heads together and see how we can partner with Chic Geek, the very same group that I volunteer with and had just returned from a meeting with! He explained how supporting Chic Geek aligned closely with Benevity's goals of improving our local tech-landscape, especially for women.
As I added my resounding yes to the thread of positive responses (and ideas already being tossed around), I let them know that my heart was swelling. A few happy tears tumbled down my cheeks, and a gigantic smile radiated from my face out into the universe.
I don't know if I can describe the feeling of one's passion outside of work and one's passion at work colliding. But I think that the "hugging face" emoticon is incredibly accurate.
Chic Geek is important to me because it is uniquely a beginner-friendly tech community. As someone who was looking to get into tech from an unrelated field, there was a lot of intimidation and lack of diverse representation in the tech space. That's where Chic Geek fills the gap — it provides programs for women in beginner level tech-skills, networking, speaker training, and mentorship. It's a supportive community for beginners to ignite their curiosity in tech and not be turned away. Now, it's a place that I come to learn, share, and to push my understanding of "possible" — many of the same reasons I get out of bed each day and go to work at Benevity.
To have the CEO initiate a collaboration with an incredible organization working tirelessly to improve diversity and support women in tech is very heart-warming, but honestly, not entirely surprising. During my time at Benevity, I've already seen this company prove that supporting women in tech is more than a feel-good move, it's also imperative as one of Canada's fastest-growing tech companies. And we are never fearful of taking those necessary, yet still brave steps to make a tangible difference.
This beautiful brick building is just bursting with the most talented people, who simply want to Do Good all day, every day, and are actually supported to do so. In Canada, we're lucky to get a one-year parental leave, but this can lead to challenges for women returning to work after an extended leave. To combat this, Benevity provides major incentives to empower women to return to work earlier, and to enable partners to take a shared parental leave. If leaving work for a full year scares you, like it does me, these programs make it easier to imagine myself as a working parent.
Benevity has provided me a light to shine within the Chic Geek community and beyond. It is a place for the quiet, the passionate, the quirky, the dreamers and believers, the do-gooders, and the curious. And it's right here in Calgary. Here's to more folks being supported to bring their personal passions to the workplace — it's possible!
Right now, only about 20% of technology workers worldwide are female. We went on a mission with Chic Geek to find out what's holding women back from entering the field. Their answers may surprise you!

It's A Wonderful Life radio play to the stage
Seneca Community Players will once again entertain visitors to Seneca Falls with their version of It's A Wonderful Life with a one hour radio play, Merry Christmas, George Bailey!. Ever since 1936, when Lux Radio Theatre moved from NY to the west coast to adapt motion pictures into one-hour radio shows, every broadcast began with those compelling words: Lux presents Hollywood! and the Lux theme music.Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays for the radio, but after just two years moved to Hollywood to perform these hour-long radio programs live before studio audiences. It became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s.The host was the show's fictional producer and through the years changed from John Anthony, to Cecil B. DeMille, and later William Keighly. Another fictional character was that of Peggy Winthrop and later Libby Collins, who as a "Hollywood reporter", made the commercials for Lux Toilet Soap. Lux Radio Theater strove to feature as many of the original stars of the original stage and film productions as possible, usually paying them $5,000 an appearance. The first Lux film adaptation in 1936, when sponsor, Lever Brothers, the makers of Lux soap and detergent, moved to Hollywood, was The Legionnaire and the Lady, with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable, based on the film Morocco, That was followed by a Lux adaptation of The Thin Man, featuring the movie's stars, Myrna Loy and William Powell.Seneca Community Players has adapted the original Lux Radio Theatre version of It's A Wonderful Life including the commercials as they were broadcast on March 10, 1947, as well as including some scenes and characters which were left out to keep the show to 60 minutes. Complete with live sound effects, live piano and organ, and the It's A Wonderful Life story, theatre patrons are encouraged to occasionally close their eyes and experience the fun, excitement and drama of Lux Radio Theatre as experienced by their parents and grandparents.The show can be seen at the "Bedford Falls Bijou Theatre" 115 Fall Street, Lower Level.Show dates & ticket prices: Thursday Dec. 6 @ 7pm, – $6 Saturday Dec. 8 @ 6pm – $8, Sunday Dec. 9 @ 1pm – $6.THE PLAYERSMarcia Burdick as Stella McNamara, the Stage ManagerSeth Kennedy as Mr Potter, William Keighley & Mr GowerStephen Beals as Clarence & John Milton KennedyCarl Webster as Uncle Billy, Pop Bailey & Sam WainrightAlex Sinicropi as Bert the Cop, Joseph, Nick the Bar Owner & Mr MartiniMike Solan as Ernie the Cab Driver, Harry & BridgekeeperChristina Pisanello as Mary Hatch BaileyGreg McPherson as George BaileyCarrie Massey as Mrs. Hatch & TillyStephanie Knarr as Mrs. Bailey & Libby CollinsJenny Gibson Hatch as Violet Bic, Susan Blanchard & Janieand introducing:Madison Tyler – ZuzuZachery Hilton – PeterAnnie Bachman – Piano/OrganGregory Wilkins & Marilla Lipker – Sound EffectsPam Bryan – Technical DirectorBecky Bly – DirectorRefreshments of Hot Drinks and Donuts will be available prior to the start of the show.

07:29 PM 06-Jul-2018 Lee Zhe Xu (LL.B (NUS), LL.M (Boston))
An ouster clause is a statutory provision which prima facie prohibits judicial review of the exercise of the discretionary powers of the Executive to which they relate: Per Ah Seng Robin v Housing and Development Board [2016] 1 SLR 1020 ("Robin Per") at [63]. The issue of whether and to what extent an ouster clause can effectively oust judicial review of executive discretion has not been conclusively decided by the Singapore courts. However, the High Court was recently given the opportunity in Nagaenthran a/l K Dharmalingam v Attorney-General [2018] SGHC 112 ("Nagaenthran") to consider this question in full, and decided to take up this opportunity.
The decision in Nagaenthran
Nagaenthran involved a challenge to the effectiveness of Section 33B(4) of the Misuse of Drugs Act (the "provision"), which provides that the Public Prosecutor's determination of whether any person has substantively assisted the Central Narcotics Bureau in disrupting drug trafficking activities may only be reviewed on the grounds that "the determination was done in bad faith or with malice". The provision is a "partial" ouster clause because it narrowly circumscribes the ambit of judicial review of the Public Prosecutor's determination in this regard, and does not on its face permit judicial review on the traditional grounds of illegality, irrationality, and procedural impropriety.
The Applicant in Nagaenthran challenged the effectiveness of this provision using the following arguments.
First, he argued (at [75]) that the provision is inconsistent with Article 93 of the Constitution, which vests the judicial power of Singapore only "in a Supreme Court and in such subordinate courts as may be provided by any written law for the time being in force". This had been an "academic" argument posited by former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong in an extrajudicial lecture in 2010: Chan Sek Keong, "Judicial Review – From Angst to Empathy" (2010) 22 SAcLJ 469, 476.
Second, he argued (at [76]-[77]) that because the provision curtails the power of the judiciary to review the executive's exercise of discretion, it thereby offends (i) the principle of separation of powers and (ii) the principle of legality, i.e. that courts should be able to review the exercise of discretionary power.
Third, drawing from the seminal House of Lords decision of Anisminic Ltd v Foreign Compensation Commission [1969] 2 AC 147, he argued (at [101]) that insofar as the Public Prosecutor's decision is tainted by an error of law, it amounts to a non-decision or a nullity that cannot be saved by an ouster clause.
Chan Seng Onn J dismissed the Applicant's challenge and found that the provision effectively limited the scope of judicial review for the following reasons:
The enactment of an ouster clause in respect of a non-justiciable determination would not infringe Article 93. While the court in principle has jurisdiction to adjudicate on all legal disputes between the State and the people, there are ultimately some legal disputes between the State and the people that should properly be excluded from the province of judicial power (at [84]). These are those disputes which are inherently non-justiciable, i.e. disputes hinging on "a holistic inquiry…premised on a panoply of extra-legal factors", which would include the Public Prosecutor's determination under the provision (at [89], [94]).
The provision does not contravene the principle of separation of powers, but is in fact an "exemplar" of the principle, because the judiciary ought to defer to the intention of the legislature in the vesting of certain powers in the executive and respect the relative institutional competence of the executive in respect of decisions that concern issues that judges are ill-equipped to adjudicate (at [88], [97]).
The provision does not contravene the principle of legality (i.e. that all discretionary power has legal limits) because the Public Prosecutor does not have unfettered discretion to act; Parliament has imposed "appropriate limits" by allowing the Public Prosecutor's determination to be reviewed on grounds of bad faith or malice (at [97]-[98]).
While case law in Singapore does suggest that ouster clauses cannot prevent judicial review in respect of jurisdictional errors of law (at [117]), Chan J refrained from deciding whether all errors of law are in fact jurisdictional errors of law (at [119]). However, he did observe that such a conclusion "would not appear to be aligned with the "green-light" approach towards administrative law, which is presently the most accurate reflection of the sociopolitical attitude in the existing Singapore milieu" (at [123]). Nonetheless, even on the assumption that all errors of law are jurisdictional errors of law, the Applicant failed to make out any prima facie error of law on the facts (at [125]-[145]).
Comments on the decision
Ouster clauses and Article 93
Several observations can be made in relation to Chan J's treatment of the relationship between Article 93 and ouster clauses. Most fundamentally, the court arguably sidestepped the fundamental question underlying the relationship between Article 93 and ouster clauses, i.e. whether Parliament has the power to immunize aspects of executive power that are otherwise judicially reviewable. This is because an ouster clause is arguably superfluous if it pertains to a power that is already inherently non-justiciable. Accordingly, by holding that the enactment of an ouster clause in respect of a non-justiciable determination would not infringe Article 93, the decision merely reaffirms the doctrine of inherent non-justiciability, i.e. that there exists "provinces of executive decision-making that are, and should be, immune from judicial review" depending on "the subject matter that is in question": Lee Hsien Loong v Review Publishing Co Ltd [2007] 2 SLR(R) 453 ("Review Publishing") at [95], [98]. This much is uncontroversial. But what if Parliament enacts an ouster clause precluding judicial review of the Minister's power to detain individuals under Section 30 of the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act, a power that has been incontrovertibly established to be justiciable? While Nagaenthran may be read to suggest that such an ouster clause would be ousted by Article 93, it does not expressly say so. Nor does the decision provide guidance as to how an ouster clause may purport to legitimately narrow the scope of judicial review in these circumstances.
It is also respectfully submitted the court's rationale for holding that the Public Prosecutor's discretion under the provision is non-justiciable falls short in two ways. First, the court held that such discretion is non-justiciable as "the courts are ill-equipped to consider whether an offender has rendered substantive assistance in disrupting drug trafficking activities, given that such a determination involves a holistic inquiry premised on a panoply of extra-legal factors" (see [94]). However, whether the courts are ill-equipped to decide this question is conceptually distinct from whether the courts are able to review this primary decision. Indeed, it seems that the Court of Appeal decisions the court cited in support of the above proposition (see [94]-[95]) had considered it in the context of whether the courts should decide the question. Most, if not all, executive decisions do involve a "holistic inquiry" and consideration of "extra-legal" factors. Furthermore, the fact that (i) the provision here does contemplate a limited form of judicial review and (ii) the court did not appear to have much difficulty applying the traditional grounds of judicial review later in the judgment (see [125]-[145]) casts further doubt on the conclusion that this discretion is "intrinsically incapable of submission to adjudication".
Second, in determining when a power is non-justiciable, the court referred to the decision in Review Publishing, which laid out some principles in this regard. However, the court did not seem to put emphasis on the parts of the decision in Review Publishing that stressed that a nuanced approach should be taken. For instance, the court in Review Publishing (at [98]) commented that "the correct approach is not to assume a highly rigid and categorical approach to deciding which cases are not justiciable" and that "even if, prima facie, a case comes within what appears to be a non-justiciable area, the courts may intervene if, on closer scrutiny, it becomes clear that it does not". Using this approach, instead of simply holding that the Public Prosecutor's discretion under the provision is outright non-justiciable, the court could perhaps have carefully considered which specific grounds of review may be available.
Ouster clauses and the principle of legality
By holding that the provision does not offend the principle of legality because it allows for judicial review on the narrow grounds of bad faith and malice, Nagaenthran continues the trend of the Singapore courts narrowly construing this principle and limiting its impact on the available scope and standard of review (see Jaclyn Neo, "All Power has Legal Limits: The Principle of Legality as a Constitutional Principle of Judicial Review" (2017) 29 SAcLJ 667 ("Neo") at [13]). In other words, the tenor of prevailing local jurisprudence suggests that the principle of legality will be satisfied as long as judicial review is technically available, regardless of the narrowness of the grounds available.
In addition, Nagaenthran did not fully explain why it found the availability of judicial review on the grounds of bad faith and malice to be a "reasonable balance" (see [98]). For one, the decision did not clearly state the competing considerations involved in determining this "reasonable balance", although it may be inferred that two key considerations may be the principle of legality and the presumption of legality (i.e. that the acts of high officials should be accorded a presumption of regularity). As this area of the law remains rather undeveloped, it is regrettable that the court did not take the opportunity to expressly consider how the appropriate balance may be struck between these two competing principles (see Neo at [47]).
In particular, the court could have considered whether the status of the power in question affects the appropriate balance to be struck. It may be observed that other powers which the Court of Appeal has declared to be reviewable on similar circumscribed grounds include the prosecutorial power (see Law Society of Singapore v Tan Guat Neo Phyllis [2008] 2 SLR(R) 239 at [149]) and the clemency power (see Yong Vui Kong v Attorney-General [2011] 2 SLR 1189 at [82]). But these powers are constitutional powers, where it is arguable that the degree of deference granted by the courts may be justifiably higher. In contrast, the Public Prosecutor's discretion in this case is only a statutory power. Indeed, the Court of Appeal in Ramalingam Ravindran v Attorney-General [2012] 2 SLR 49 did suggest (at [47]) that the presumption of legality "will certainly be stronger in relation to the acts of an official who holds a constitutional office", which does suggest that the status or source of the power would be an important factor in determining how the appropriate balance should be struck.
Ouster clauses and errors of law
By relying on the past High Court decisions of Re Yee Yut Ee [1977–1978] SLR(R) 490 and Stansfield Business International Pte Ltd v Minister for Manpower [1999] 2 SLR(R) 866, the decision in Nagaenthran clarifies that ouster clauses will not preclude review of jurisdictional errors of law. This clarification is welcome, given that a previous High Court decision of Cheong Chun Yin v Attorney-General [2014] 3 SLR 1141 had suggested that the provision does not permit of a separate ground of judicial review on the basis of a "jurisdictional error of law" (at [31]).
However, the court's treatment of the distinction between jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional errors of law raises several questions. For one, the court suggested (at [108]) that the precedent fact principle of review was the only ground raised by the Applicant which involved a jurisdictional error of law. On the other hand, in opining the Public Prosecutor's decision under the provision should not be allowed to stand if he had considered irrelevant considerations or had ignored relevant ones (at [116]), the court also seems to suggest that this involves a jurisdictional error. This only underscores the difficulty of deciding when an error is jurisdictional or not.
In addition, one may question the court's observation that the proposition that all errors of law are jurisdictional errors of law may be inconsistent with the prevailing "green-light" approach. An examination of the Court of Appeal's decision in Jeyaretnam Kenneth Andrew v Attorney-General [2013] 1 SLR 345 ("Jeyaretnam Kenneth"), which had judicially endorsed this "green-light" approach, reveals that the crux of this approach is not manifest deference to the government. Instead, this approach only requires that judicial review not be decoupled from the fundamental precepts of adversarial litigation (see Jeyaretnam Kenneth at [47]-[48]), i.e. that the rules of standing should not be unduly loosened and that judicial review should focus on vindicating individual rights, not matters of public policy (see Jeyaretnam Kenneth at [55]-[56]). It does not require that the courts continue to hold back even when some irregularity in the decision-making process has been proven, which is what Nagaenthran appears to suggest. In fact, it is even arguable that accepting that all errors of law are jurisdictional errors may be more consistent with an approach focused on the vindication of individual rights. Indeed, as expressed by the Court of Appeal, it would be "unthinkable that citizens would have no recourse for bringing claims against unlawful conduct by public bodies" (Jeyaretnam Kenneth at [60]).
Non-conventional ouster clauses
Finally, while this was not canvassed in the decision, it remains to be seen whether successful challenges can be made against "non-conventional" ouster clauses. These clauses do not purport to oust the right to judicial review, but work to ostensibly curtail the power of the judiciary in another way. One possible example is Section 14 of the Government Proceedings Act ("GPA"). Section 14 of the GPA states, inter alia, that no action in tort may lie against the Government or a member of the armed forces if (i) the plaintiff (as a member of the armed forces) was on duty at the time of the incident, (ii) the defendant's act or omission was not connected with the execution of his duties as a member of the forces, and (iii) the Minister responsible for finance certifies that his suffering that thing has been or will be treated as attributable to service for the purposes of entitlement to an award under written law. Given that the judicial power encompasses deciding "a controversy either between a State and one or more of its subjects, or between two or more subjects of a State" (see Mohammad Faizal bin Sabtu v Public Prosecutor [2012] 4 SLR 947 at [27]), it may well be arguable that Section 14 ousts the power of the judiciary and is therefore inconsistent with Article 93, as it is the Minister who effectively disposes of the dispute between the parties in this context. Furthermore, it cannot be said that the subject matter in question is non-justiciable, given that the resolution of tortious disputes clearly falls within the court's institutional competence.
The decision in Nagaenthran represents a welcome first step in the development of local jurisprudence relating to the effectiveness of ouster clauses. Given the constitutional difficulties that ouster clauses face and the fact that they have often been viewed with circumspection (Robin Per at [64]), this author submits that it may be conceptually neater to disregard all ouster clauses and instead focus on calibrating the scope and intensity of review in accordance with the subject matter in question. Nonetheless, given that ouster clauses implicate a multitude of underlying tensions within the realms of constitutional and administrative law, there are no easy answers. However, what is clear is that Nagaenthran will certainly not be the last word on this subject.

Shrimp has always been associated with the small and the puny. Why then is this seemingly harmless crustacean inspiring angry protests throughout the developing world, and why have so many people died as a result? Dr Mike Shanahan investigates
Susan, a middle-aged cashier in a London high street bank, has developed a penchant for prawns. Ten years ago tiger prawns (also called shrimp) were beyond her budget – a rare treat reserved for birthdays and other celebrations. Nowadays, she finds them more affordable and consumes them with gusto at every given opportunity. In contrast, Sri Lankan fisherman Anil caught enough fish to sell and feed his family a decade ago. Today, he struggles to fill his nets and often goes to bed hungry. His eight-year-old son regularly misses school to help his mother find drinking water or his father catch fish. Although the lives of Susan and Anil could hardly be more different they are, of course, closely linked.
Shrimp: crustacean of devastation
Last year diners in the industrialised nations of Europe, North America and Japan peeled, chewed and dribbled their way through over a million tonnes of farmed shrimps worth over $7 billion. Shrimp, it would seem, is manna from heaven. It's abundant, protein-rich, eminently tasty and readily adaptable to the full range of the world's cuisines. But, as new research by the Environmental Justice Foundation reveals, the true costs of consuming shrimp are dangerously high.
Shrimp has traditionally been trawled from the ocean in arguably the most inefficient fisheries practice on the planet. The effect of trawl nets on ecological communities on the ocean floor is the underwater equivalent of clear-cutting forests. Although shrimp trawlers provide only 2 per cent of the world's seafood, they haul in a third of all the global fishing industry's 'by-catch'. In that by-catch over 400 marine species have been identified. Nonetheless it is all discarded – most of it dead – because of its low economic value relative to that of shrimp. In some shrimp fisheries, by-catch levels of up to 20kg for every 1kg of shrimp have been recorded. The species affected include rare turtles, 150,000 of which are estimated to be caught as by-catch annually.
To the uninitiated, the concept of farming shrimp might be quite idyllic – perhaps conjuring images of rosy-cheeked, straw-sucking pastoralists leaning over fences to watch their shell-bound charges grow until sufficiently sized to take to market. The reality is less bucolic. In fact, shrimp farming is more of an industrial than an agricultural phenomenon. Having been responsible for widespread clearance of productive land and mangrove forests, shrimp farming is also heavily reliant upon the use of water pumps, aerators and chemical inputs of pesticides, disinfectants, steroid hormones and antibiotics – including chemicals banned for use in food production by the EU and US. Many of these chemicals are hazardous to human health. The wider environment is also threatened by the release of effluent from shrimp farms into surrounding waters.
The effects of shrimp farming can be swift and devastating for coastal communities. Livelihoods that have sustained communities for generations have been disrupted, and human rights abuses widespread. As a result, a brutal struggle is being waged on the coasts of some of the world's poorest countries, with grassroots campaigners lining up against the giant shrimp- farming industry.
Dying for our Dinner?
In April 2002, father of four Sebastião Marques de Souza became the latest casualty in this struggle. Sebastião was a community activist protesting the expansion of shrimp farms into the mangrove forests of Brazil. One night, two men – alleged by local campaigners to be connected to the country's burgeoning shrimp-farming industry – approached him under the pretence of needing to buy some petrol. They shot him dead.
Worldwide, opponents of the industry claim that shrimp farming destroys lives and livelihoods of coastal communities and that it causes significant environmental damage. Worldwide, those who have voiced opposition to the industry have been threatened, intimidated, beaten or silenced for good by bullets, bombs and machete blades. People have been murdered in at least 11 countries.
In Honduras, murders in the mangroves are no longer a cause of surprise – 12 small-scale fishermen have been killed in as many years. Jorge Varela, director of a local human rights and environmentalist group who has himself received death threats on numerous occasions, has said: 'With the complicity of our government, we have given away our people's patrimony to a few national and foreign individuals, and we have deprived thousands of persons of their livelihoods. We have turned the blood of our people into an appetiser.'
These sentiments are common to poor, vulnerable and often landless communities that have risen up in protest at the way shrimp farms have blocked access to the coast, reduced local fish catches, and destroyed mangrove forests that for generations have supplied food, medicines, fuel and building materials.
It is not only fishing communities that have an axe to grind about the impacts of shrimp farming. Rice and cattle farmers have found their land rendered infertile and their livestock prone to disease because of the infiltration of salt water pumped in and out of shrimp ponds. In Bangladesh farmland has been seized by force or deliberately polluted to ensure its cheap sale to shrimp-farm owners. The country's coast has become a hot spot of violence and intimidation. Local advocacy group Nijera Kori estimates that over 150 people have died in incidents directly related to the industry's expansion. Frequently implicated in these murders are Bangladesh's 'musclemen' – hired enforcers paid by shrimp farmers to protect their interests and further their ambitions. At demonstrations clashes have occurred between landless protestors and police or these musclemen. Shrimp-farm guards have caught and beaten to death innocent people wrongly suspected of coming to steal shrimp. Witnesses in legal cases linked to the industry have been murdered.
Profits for shrimp-farm owners can be spectacular, and such is the avarice associated with the industry that the practice of intimidating or eliminating opponents has become widespread. A culture of impunity is typical of the major shrimp-farming countries, which are characterised by corruption, cronyism and gross inequity. The widespread lack of organisational and economic equality between the industry and the communities opposing it means that while the latter often have no recourse to the law, the former often has little to fear from it.
In many countries, politicians and military figures either have vested interests in, or own, shrimp farms. It is less surprising, then, that army or police personnel have been used to violently suppress protests or to seize land on which to build shrimp ponds. A peaceful protest against illegal land seizures by shrimp farmers in Bangladesh was brutally quelled when police personnel opened fire. Four people were killed – including Peasant Women's Association leader Zaheda Begum – and 250 were wounded.
Profit and Loss in a Culture of Corruption
The farming of marine species was initially promoted as a 'blue revolution', supposedly capable of producing large volumes of food without impacting marine stocks, and thereby increasing availability of food for the hungry. International finance institutions like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have actively endorsed shrimp farming as a means of speeding development and alleviating poverty in the developing countries where most shrimp farming occurs. However, while some players in the industry have made vast profits, the external costs are not borne by those who reap the benefits. Rather, these costs are displaced onto some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities. Furthermore, the financial benefits of shrimp production often fail to trickle down to these communities.
As land has been seized or rendered unusable, hundreds of thousands of rural poor have been displaced – often to cities or to other countries. 'If the mangroves disappear, we shall eat garbage in the outskirts of the city; we shall become prostitutes,' said one traditional shellfish collector in Ecuador, where a single hectare of mangrove forest can provide food and livelihoods for 10 families. By contrast, an Ecuadorian shrimp farm of 110 hectares employs just six people during the preparation of shrimp and a further five during the harvest. Likewise, in Sri Lanka's Puttlam district nearly 20,000 lagoon fishers have been obliged to move to the city in search of work as shrimp farming has wiped out their traditional livelihoods. Civil society groups have reported Sri Lankan refugees citing the spread of shrimp farming as a factor contributing to their flight to the UK. Anil the fisherman and Susan the bank clerk may yet meet.
For those who do not migrate to cities or overseas, employment must be sought in the very industry that deprived them of their livelihoods in the first place. Shrimp fry are needed to stock the ponds and are harvested directly from the sea. In Bangladesh, women work in the water for eight to 10 hours each day. Illness is common. Some collect shrimp fry near to the farms, where polluted water causes internal damage and skin diseases. Gloves are not provided and hands begin to rot.
Conditions in processing plants also leave much to be desired. Many female workers in Indian shrimp-peeling factories are reportedly held virtual captives by the owners. They may sleep above the processing units, where the inhalation of odours and ammonia refrigerants is unavoidable. Common complaints include skin problems and backache from standing for prolonged periods. Urinary tract infections are linked to inadequate toilet facilities. Handling ice-cold food for long hours has also been linked to arthritis. In 2000, there were widespread reports of processing plant workers having half their $30 monthly salary deducted to pay for a daily meal of thin watery soup.
In a number of countries the salinisation of water supplies and the reduced availability of food resources associated with shrimp farming forces children to miss school to help find food and water for their families. Children also risk their health by working in the same unsanitary shrimp farm and factory conditions as their elders. Shrimp industry child labour has been reported in Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Peru, Ecuador and Burma.
Industrial shrimp farming has experienced massive growth since its advent in the 1970s. Shrimp is now farmed in over 50 largely tropical and sub-tropical countries. Today nearly a third of shrimp eaten comes from these farms. Shrimp recently overtook tuna as the top seafood in the US, where an average of 1.9 kg of shrimp is consumed per person per year. The industry's expansion is relentless, and new areas of Africa's coastline are currently being targeted by investors.
Like so many activities that result in resource-use conflict, shrimp farming is destined to continue causing serious social problems. The roll call of martyrs will keep growing unless the industry undergoes radical change. Just as logging and oil exploration have become the focus of international attention following exposure of their human rights and environmental consequences, so there is an urgent need for scrutiny of shrimp farming.
Whether stir-fried, barbecued or curried, our passion for this tender crustacean is undeniable. However, to sate our appetites, communities worldwide are becoming hungrier, thirstier and less empowered to determine their own lives. This is not a model of development of which to be proud.
The late Shri Banke Behary Das was a prominent Indian environmental campaigner. His words, which resonate with passion and poignancy, neatly encapsulate the essence of shrimp farming's negative effects and identify the players most capable of forcing a change – us, the consumers. 'I say to those who eat shrimp – and only the rich people from industrialised countries eat shrimp – I say they are eating the blood, sweat and livelihoods of the poor people of the Third World'.
Environmental Justice Foundation was established by Juliette Wilson and Steve Trent in 1999.
As a consumer, you have considerable power and responsibility. With your help, unsustainable methods of shrimp production can be eradicated.

Генри Гордон де Хантли (даты рождения и смерти неизвестны, ум. около 1674/1675 г.) — шотландский и польский дворянин, полковник польских коронных войск, участник Рокоша Любомирского.

Биография
Представитель шляхетского рода Быдант. Представитель шотландского клана Гордон. Младший сын казненного Джорджа Гордона, маркиза Хантли (1592—1649), и леди Энн Кэмпбелл (1594—1638). Близкий родственник генерала Патрика Гордона.

Католик Генри Гордон покинул Шотландию в молодости из-за политического и религиозного преследования. Около 1648 года он появился в Польше, где поступил на службу в коронную армию. Генрик Гордон принимал участие в войнах Речи Посполитой с восставшими украинскими казаками (1648—1654), Россией (1654—1667) и Швецией (1655—1660). В том числе участвовал в звании капитана в битве с казаками под Корсунем (1648) и в ранге подполковника с русско-казацкими полками под Чудновом (1660). Возможно, что перед своим приездом в Польшу в 1648 году и участием в битве под Корсунем в чине капитана, Генри Гордон служил в шведкой или бранденбургской армии во время Тридцатилетней войны, а затем прибыл в Польшу как опытный офицер.

В 1658 году Генрик Гордон получил от польского сейма индигенат с правом сохранения собственного шотландского герба, названного в Речи Посполитой «Быдант». В 1665 году он принимал участие в рокоше гетмана польного коронного Ежи Себастьяна Любомирского против королевской власти Яна Казимира Вазы.

Семья
В конце своей жизни Генрик Гордон отправился в Шотландию, где женился на Кэтрин Ролланд, дочери хозяина гостиницы из Абердина.

Известно, что у них была дочь Екатерина (Катаржина) (ум. 1691, Париж), придворная дама королевы Людвики Марии Гонзага. 29 апреля 1659 года Катаржина Гордона вышла замуж за подскарбия великого коронного и поэта Яна Анджея Морштына (1621—1693). Супруги имели четверо детей:

 Тереза Морштын, монахиня женского католического ордена в Париже
 Людвика Мария Морштын (ум. 1730), жена маршалка великого коронного Казимира Людвика Белинского (ум. 1713)
 Изабелла Эльжбета Морштын (1671—1758), жена подскарбия великого литовского и каштеляна виленского, князя Казимира Чарторыйского (1674—1741)
 Михаил Альберт Морштын (ум. 1695, Намюр), граф де Шатовийен, офицер французской армии. Был женат с 1693 года на принцессе Марии Терезе де Люинь (1673—1743).

Таким образом, небогатый дворянин и скромный офицер Генрик Гордон стал предком многих членов высшей европейской аристократии, прапрадедом последнего польского короля Станислава Августа Понятовского.

Roger Boyle
Boyle, Roger , Lord Broghill, Earl of Orrery, third son of the Earl of Cork, was born at Lismore, 26th April 1621. After two years of study at Trinity College, he was sent, when seventeen, to travel on the Continent with his brother, Lord Kynalmeaky. On his return, he commanded a troop in the expedition against the Scotch, under the Earl of Northumberland. In 1640 he married a daughter of the Earl of Suffolk, and arrived with her at Lismore the very day hostilities broke out in Ireland. He fortified his father's house, and distinguished himself against the Confederates in several engagements. At the battle of Liscarroll he was taken prisoner, but was soon rescued. He opposed the cessation of arms in 1643, and in 1644 joined Lord Inchiquin and others in a letter to the King, praying that no peace should be concluded with the Irish. They had such an unsatisfactory answer from the King, on whom his lordship waited at Oxford, that he and Lord Inchiquin put themselves under the protection of the Parliament. He now acted under Lord Inchiquin at Castle-Lyons, Youghal, and elsewhere, and in 1646 took Lord Muskerry's castle of Blarney.
After the execution of Charles I., he retired to his estate in Somersetshire, and was about departing for the Continent to plot for the restoration of the Stuarts, when Cromwell called on him, showed him copies of his foreign correspondence, proving that his designs were known, and offered him the choice of imprisonment or service under the Commonwealth. He accepted the latter, repaired to Ireland, and met Cromwell near Waterford, late in 1649, with 1,500 men whom he had raised. Lord Broghill's chaplain thus describes the meeting: " He drew up his party and made an halt till Cromwell had done so too: while his party cried up, 'A Broghill! a Broghill,' Cromwell's party cried up, 'A Cromwell! a Cromwell!' My lord rid up to Cromwell and Ireton, then the head of the army, and after having saluted one another, my lord returned to his party, and made them cry up, 'A Cromwell!' and with much ado, Cromwell made his party cry up, 'A Broghill!' and so they joined." He assisted at the siege of Clonmel, which capitulated on honourable terms, O'Neill having secretly withdrawn the garrison. Carrigdrohid Castle he frightened into surrender by drawing up to the siege numbers of trunks of trees, which the beleagured imagined were heavy artillery. He also assisted at the siege of Limerick under Ireton, especially distinguishing himself in an engagement with Lord Muskerry, and upon the conclusion of the war, was one of the commissioners who carried out Cromwell's system of confiscation and expatriation in Ireland. Mr. Prendergast speaks of "Lord Broghill, whose name, like that of Sir Charles Coote, seems ever the prelude of woe to the Irish."
Afterwards in England he continued to be one of Cromwell's most trusted friends and advisers. He was for a time governor in Scotland, and was one of Richard Cromwell's council. Finding the latter an incompetent ruler, he favoured the restoration of Charles II. Returning to Ireland, and working in concert with Coote, he seized Youghal, Clonmel, Carlow, Limerick, Drogheda, Galway, and Athlone for the King, and helped to end the rule of the Parliament in Ireland. After the Restoration he was made Earl of Orrery, Lord-Justice, and President of Munster. His latter years were spent between his Presidency and London. In 1661 he built a mansion at Charleville, changing the name of the town, in honour of Charles II., from the "heathenish one of Rathgogan." There he kept his Presidency court in "great splendour." "He made up controversies betwixt neighbours, and healed up wounds betwixt friends, with a dexterity not to be paralleled. He used the most cunning stratagems to bring about peace and quietness.
He was a lion in courage and a lamb in meekness, so that he became the cement of the whole country where he lived, and constantly exercised those excellent parts, and that quick apprehension, with which he was endowed, to the benefit and happiness of mankind. His advice was constantly sought by the King and Queen; yet did he not escape impeachment, from which he was, however, acquitted. Upon this occasion, he rejoined to a friend who remarked with what difficulty he ascended the stairs of the Court of Requests: "Yes, sir, my feet are week; but if my heels will serve to carry me up, I promise you my head shall bring me safe down again." He left England finally in August 1676, and "spent the remainder of his life principally in contemplation, reading the Scriptures and other serious studies, partly at Castlemartyr and partly at Charleville."
He died "after great and dreadful strugglings with his distemper," gout, 16th October 1679, aged 58, and was buried in the church of Youghal, where there is a monument to him. He left two sons and five daughters. Lord Broghill was the author of numerous plays and poems. He is described as "of a middle size, well-shaped and comely; his eyes had the life and quickness in them which is usually the sign of great and uncommon parts. His wit rendered his conversation highly entertainingand amusing." He is stated to have written a volume of memoirs, which was either lost or suppressed. Horace Walpole declared him to have been "a man who never made a bad figure except as an author." About seventeen works from his pen are enumerated by Ware. His correspondence with the Duke of Ormond is full of interest.

Ransomware Affected Over 50 Percent Of Surveyed Companies
Posted by worldedgetech On February 15, 2018
Sophos has released the results of their annual "State of Endpoint Security Today", and it doesn't paint a pretty picture. A full 54% of companies surveyed reported having been hit by a ransomware attack in 2017. Another 31% reported that they expect to be on the receiving end of such an attack in the near future.
If the headline statistic wasn't bad enough, it only gets worse from there. According to the data collected, the average cost of a ransomware attack (including network costs, manpower, downtime, and device replacement cost) was $133,000. Five percent of respondents reported total costs between $1.3 million and $6 million, before factoring in the cost of any ransom paid.
As bad as those figures are, what makes them even more painful is the frequency. On average, survey respondents report having been struck an average of twice in the past year.
Dan Schiappa, the Senior VP and General Manage of Products at Sophos explains: "Ransomware is not a lightning strike - it can happen again and again to the same organization. We're aware of cyber criminals unleashing four different ransomware families in half-hour increments to ensure at least one evades security and completes the attack.
If IT managers are unable to thoroughly clean ransomware and other threats from their systems after attacks, they could be vulnerable to reinfection. No one can afford to be complacent. Cybercriminals are deploying multiple attack methods to succeed, whether using a mix of ransomware in a single campaign, taking advantage of a remote access opportunity, infecting a server, or disabling security software."
In light of this relentless attack methodology, and in spite of the headlines all last year warning of the dangers, Schiappa warns that most companies are starting 2018 woefully unprepared for a ransomware attack. With all that said if you haven't done so already, it's well past time to review the state of your network security.

The Christus Triumfator Church under construction (1961).
A toll road, the Wervelaantje, passed this intersection in the seventeenth century, leading to Huis de Werve in Voorburg. The construction of Bezuidenhout was so far advanced in 1894 that the road was widened and renamed Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië, after the nearby inn 'Nieuw Oost-Inje'. Large mansions were constructed along the 'Laan van NOI', as it was popularly known, starting from the Bezuidenhoutseweg.
The amount of traffic increased rapidly after the tolls were abolished in 1928. The avenue had to be modified to deal with the increasing flow of cars, even before the war. The row of trees, that dated back to the start of the century, was cleared in 1938 and the avenue became a thoroughfare.
The Juliana van Stolberg recovery center was across the street − the corner building in the left-hand photo. This house was converted to a shop for luxury household items and toys in 1934. The Reformed Christus Triumfator Church was built on this site in 1961. Some of the pre-war grandeur of Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië can still be seen between Juliana van Stolberglaan and Schenkkade.

But concealed corners that may possibly look inviting often turn deadly once ships set sail. Refrigerated fishing holds turn out to be cold, exhaust pipes heat up, shipping containers are sealed and fumigated. Maritime newsletters and shipping insurance reports supply a macabre accounting of the victims: Crushed in the chain locker," asphyxiated by bunker fumes," discovered under a retracted anchor." Most often, though, death comes slower. Vomiting from seasickness leads to dehydration. Men and women pass out from exhaustion. They starve. As other passengers started to make contact with lawyers, legal professionals said that a 1997 law passed by Congress would limit the quantity of income they could get for medical expenditures and financial losses. The law set a $200 million cap on damages for passenger injuries or deaths in a single rail accident.The New Bill of Costs Pilot Scheme is extended by a year and is modified to alleviate issues raised about the existing form's reliance on J Codes. Parties will be in a position to file their bill in electronic format which will help the court in assessing the bill as any adjustment made by the court, to say the price or hours claimed, will automatically be carried by means of to all relevant components of the bill.A handful of weeks before the confession, Mohamed received a check out from Fatima for the duration of which, Junginger believes, she convinced her brother to take complete responsibility for the murder due to the fact their 70-year-old mother, Rihani, is in fragile wellness in Nabeul. 'I think the family have decided that it's far better to have 1 sibling in jail than two,' says Junginger. 'They believe that if Mohamed requires the full blame, Jamila will stroll free.' It could come as no surprise that his lawyer should take this view, but so far there is no firm proof in help of this claim.Don't ignore time limits set by your policy. Most policies need a signed proof of loss within a particular time limit. Be confident you comply with this requirement unless you acquire a written waiver from your insurance coverage business. Several policies permit you only one particular year from the date of loss in which to bring a legal action if your claim has not been adjusted pretty. If your claim hasn't been settled to your satisfaction 11 months following your loss, seek advice from an lawyer quickly.
