»If it moves it's our job to stop it.« That's the philosophy of TMD Friction, one of the world's largest manufacturers of brake pad technology. The company is part of the Japanese Nisshinbo Group, and counts more than 5,000 employees in Europe, the USA, Brazil, Mexico, China, Japan and South Africa. In Germany, TMD Friction is operating four modern production facilities and a research and development center. To make its workforce management more flexible, while easing the burden of administrative tasks on the HR Shared Service Center at the same time, TMD Friction opted for the ATOSS Enterprise Solution for its roughly 1,500 industrial workers in Germany, with an interface to the SAP® HCM software at work throughout the Group.
The solution is already in full operation at the Hamm and Coswig facilities. Today, the 600 employees in production, maintenance and the blending unit are planned and scheduled with qualifications, pay-scales and legislation fully adhered to. In addition, the Automatic Duty Plan is implemented in the production area. The rule based plan guarantees that staffing specifications are taken into account at a workplace and shift level, the required qualifications are met when workplaces are changed during the day, while employees are scheduled according to priorities. Preferential planning assigns higher qualified employees to more demanding workplaces. First Aid Officers are also planned and scheduled by the solution with audit-proof duty plans. Non-industrial workers on flexitime can find out their duty details via Self Services as well as apply for vacation or overtime. All the relevant information such as time corrections or allowances are automatically imported into SAP HCM. Complex manual entries, multiple registrations and media gaps are a thing of the past at the Hamm and Coswig locations. Optimized duty schedules, lean personnel processes and greater transparency in all working time matters – a combination that will certainly not put the brakes on TMD Friction. The rollout in other German facilities is already at the planning stage, and the possible international deployment of the ATOSS solution in Mexico, the United Kingdom, South Africa and China is currently under review.
Duty schedules based on qualifications and priorities, lean HR processes and a significant reduction in administrative complexity on all levels – we are impressed by our workforce management pilot project.

GETTR's Financial Situation Even Worse - Guo Wengui Files for Bankruptcy
Posted by DC on Wed, 02/16/2022 - 20:30
GETTR's main money guy declared bankruptcy:
Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, also known as Ho Wan Kwok, filed for individual bankruptcy protection in a U.S. bankruptcy court in Bridgeport, a court filing showed.
Guo listed assets in the range of $50,001 to $100,000 in the bankruptcy filing, and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million.
Among the list of creditors who have claims against Guo, he listed Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity fund as the one with the largest claim of about $254 million.
The fund, which sued Guo for unpaid loans worth $88 million, allegedly borrowed between 2008 and 2011, has been locked in a legal battle with him in a New York State Court over this issue for four years.
I have no idea what to make of Guo at this point. If you call yourself a billionaire, but have assets under $100k, then I'm not sure I can believe anything you've been telling me for the past few years.
How much is his stake in GETTR? He's the money guy financing this thing? Is his yacht not an asset? That thing sure looks to be worth a couple bucks. At this point, it's obvious it's not even his. What kind of self-respecting billionaire doesn't even own a yacht?
I get grifter Jason Miller, who probably wet himself when he saw Guo in a yacht, but how did Bannon get mixed up with this guy?
I touched on GETTR's financial problems a few weeks ago and wasn't sure about Guo:
It makes me wonder how wealthy Guo really is. For a project like this, at the scale they're trying to hit, $100mm in cash to get through a few years shouldn't be a big deal. Could he and Miller and his gaggle of grifters not put that together?
Looks like he's not wealthy at all. He also says Biden won and refers to him as "President", so I'm not Guo's biggest fan as of late.
At this point, GETTR is a plane in flight on autopilot, and the pilots are dead.

The Plight of the Young Indian Man- The Bridge Talks
October 27, 2016 | Gender
Addressing the peripheral status of men and boys in discussions on 'gender', Rohini Nilekani challenges us to be inclusive in our efforts towards 'gender' empowerment.
00:03 Rohini Nilekani: Namaste everyone. Thank you Anant. Thanks to Caravan. Thanks to The Bridge for inviting me here. I was resisting Anant quite strongly actually because I said I'm not an expert on this, but eventually I agreed because I'm sure y'all have heard a lot about women empowerment today and women's issues, and we all know how big they are, especially in India. But I thought I would use my time and I agreed to do this to air out something that's been bothering me for the last few years, in my work and through my reading. Now, I've never spoken about this in a public platform before, so all of you have to be rather kind when I'm talking and later as well.
00:44 RN: So let me give you some background. Anant has said something but very quickly about my work, I was a journalist. But when I gave up journalism, though I continue to write occasionally, I have worked in the non-profit sector for the past 20 years. And through my philanthropy, I've been active in issues of education, microfinance, ecology, arts and culture, governance, and especially water through my foundation Arghyam, and we support work in 23 states to help communities have better water. And that has given me a window into grassroots organisations all around the country, and working in especially hard geographies and social conditions. I've also had as some of you may know a ring-side seat in the last 35 years, thanks to my husband, Nandan Nilekani, into the amphitheatre of the corporate world, and a little bit into the innards of government when he was in government. So in that sense, that's the perspective I'm bringing to my talk today, coming from both samaaj and bazaar and sarkar.
01:46 RN: I want to talk and help us all to look at the question of boys and young men, both in their own right and also with respect to women. I'm gonna share with you some images that have stayed stark in my mind over the last few years. One is the huge yellowing eyes of a 12-year-old Musahari boy. I don't like to use the term 'Musahari', but that's what they're called in North Bihar, in an small island in the Koshi river where no government services were available. He was suffering from azar-azar, and was barely literate, had barely left that island and was waiting to be transported to a hospital. Just his face stays in my mind.
02:28 RN: I remember the copious tears of a young boy I met on a roadside who with his sister, actually on a field trip that I was on, he had done very well in his board exams, but his father had said, "There's no way you can study further, I've got you a job in a government organization, and that's what you're going to do." I'm sure this must be familiar to all of you, but the body language of both hope and despair of dozens of young men in an employment queue, armed with their 10th or 12th standard degrees, and in much of India, 10th fail is also considered quite a respectable thing, almost like a degree to have. And waiting and praying for a job that will barely hold their body and soul together as a security guard or as a sales person.
03:10 RN: And another thing was the resigned look on the face of a very raw and very freshly scrubbed pani-puri vendor in Bangalore, who right in front of me had to hand over a bribe to a sub-inspector, not even to a constable. And then I remember the macho threatening behavior of a group of rather angry young men who had stopped cars on a highway because there had been an accident and one of their people had been injured. To me, these are snapshots that assemble a sort of portrait, a gallery of the reality faced by 200 million boys and young men in this country, probably the largest such cohort in the world, between the ages of say 13 to 25.
03:56 RN: And as we all know, I won't dwell on this, but India has made great strides to reduce the inequality between men and women in terms of legal rights, economic opportunities, personal empowerment and more. We have several laws as you all know to protect women and help them advance. One of the greatest institutions that we have supported over the last 30 years has been the development of self-help groups. There are 70 million women in self-help groups around the country, and that enables them to have acc… To platforms to share, they are able to access credit, to get state support and much more. We've included women by quota in local government, and India has a unique pride of having more than one million elected representatives as women representatives across governments in the country. We also have several policies to support the education of the girl child and special drive for maternal and child health and I could just go on and on.
04:52 RN: But what is beginning to worry me greatly is that have we swung the pendulum too far? Where is the similar support for these 200 million young men? We all would agree that they too have their rights, their needs, their burdens, especially coming from the strong patriarchal structure that India has been living with for centuries. We know that they are restricted by gender stereotypes. We all know also that by not conforming, they can be subject to merciless bullying. And of course the concept of masculinity is very conditional, you cannot be masculine if you're emotional or sensitive or compassionate. And we all know how hard it is to escape these social beliefs, even though masculinity is being redefined in the 21st century. And I'm not even including all the extra challenges of being a young male of a lower caste or a lower economic class or of a different sexual orientation. I'm simply talking about the burden of being young male with hormones no doubt raging, with no kind of stable relationships perhaps, and locked into predetermined notions of how to be a boy and then a man.
06:06 RN: Now, this conversation has opened up around the world over the last few decades but not so much in India. And I believe that, unless we are prepared to see this, that men too are trapped… I don't believe we can make that much progress towards peace or harmony or the kind of empowerment that the previous panel was talking about. And I'm sure y'all have been hearing all day. And yet often, people talk of men as people who need to change so that women can be better off, not what they need in their own right. So can we go beyond that thinking to root causes? Can we look into the faces of those millions of men, and we see them all over the place in Delhi as well, with their fears, their insecurities, their lack of access to good education, skilling, to jobs, to secure relationships, and can we creatively confront the challenge to make a positive change? Where are the safe platforms for men, like the SHGs, where they can share their questions about sexuality, about patriarchy, about masculinity, and the burden of being male? Do we have structured activities anywhere in the country that are secular, not necessarily political party-based or religion-based that get young men together to play sports, to learn music, to do theater, or bird watching or anything at all. Are there enough state-sponsored programs for adolescent, low income, urban boys for example. The answer to all is mostly no, no, and only very little.
07:43 RN: Look at our legal frameworks, for example. Law making in India mostly can be pretty shoddy at times, and some laws might have gone too far to protect women, leaving men in a fairly precarious state. The Anti-Dowry Act is a rather vexed case, that has engaged both men and women activists alike. For one, I don't think it has achieved its social goal of eliminating dowry, far from it. And on the other hand, there has been some abuse of the law to the point where staunchly feminist organizations that I work with and know, have been thinking of re-looking at some of its provisions. The Supreme Court in one case even said, and I quote, "As noted above, the object is to strike at the roots of dowry menace, but by misuse of the provision, a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used as a shield and not an assassin's weapon." Very tough tough words. But the point is that when non-bailable offences are created, the police need to be extra careful to screen complaints, and to make sure that the accused can be justifiably arrested for the alleged crime.
08:49 RN: Not enough of us are agitated about these issues, I believe, because we think that these things will not happen to the men we know, and I think we are living in fools paradise. Take the case of one Naseema Begum who in 1995, filed a case against a young man who forcibly kissed her, causing some injury to her lip and no doubt a lot of injury to her soul. The criminal case was settled in 2012, awarding the accused a sentence of six months imprisonment. An appeal to Sessions Court was denied, the appellant had argued that the accused was a juvenile at the time of the incident and should have been protected under the law, then in force, which should have sent him actually to a Juvenile Justice Board and not a criminal court. But the court sent him to prison for six months, 18 years after the crime was committed, when both the woman and the man had settled into different marriages, and also had children. And it had this to say, "In the instant case, as the appellant has committed a heinous crime and with the social condition prevailing in the society, the modesty of a woman has to be strongly guarded, and as the appellant behaved like a roadside Romeo, we do not think it is a fit case, where the benefit of the 1958 Act, leniency in sentencing for juvenile offenders should be given to the appellant."
10:10 RN: I'm going to leave it to you all to decide whether this seems fair, and when it is said that the modesty of a woman has to be strongly guarded, does it serve men? Does it serve women? Or does it serve any gender at all? And whether it doesn't come from the same strong patriarchal framework that we all need to confront and possibly reject or absolutely reject. Suffice it to say that I've been feeling that if I were a man and if I'd really read all the laws that applied to me in India, I would be pretty nervous indeed.
10:43 RN: The state of course lags behind but so does civil society. The research I did for this revealed that there is hardly any kind of work at any scale, no programs working with young men or boys. Two exceptions are MAVA, which is based in Pune, which has done some stellar work to sensitize men, gets them together, allows them to talk. But even they say that they are empowering women by humanizing men, the poor un-humanized 50% of the population. Then there's the Equal Community Foundation, based in Mumbai. They've done some pretty serious structured work with young people and has tried to create safe spaces for boys to discuss things that bother them, and to help with skilling and so on. Then there's an organization called NOVO, there's something called Shadhika, Oxfam does some work. But these are just tiny little specks in the ocean.
11:32 RN: And when the Equal Community Foundation that I'm working with, went to West Bengal to see if they could expand their work, they spoke to 100 organisations, none of them had any specific programs for boys, even though they had so many for girls. The philanthropy community, I'm sorry to say is doing very little, even the biggest European agencies working in this space, hardly gave 5% of their budgets to this cause. And one reason may be that that while funders agree with this in principle, they don't know quite what to fund. And so we have, I believe a huge yawning gap of opportunities for young men to realize their rights, to achieve their better selves and to be gainfully employed.
12:14 RN: I'm going to use the remaining two-and-a-half minutes to talk about… To bring a spotlight on work, employment and jobs. Some progress has been made for sure in this regard. My friend Manish Sabharwal who runs India's largest staffing company called TeamLease, he says that today, the problem is less of jobs than of wages. Ten years ago, the young people, who used to come to TeamLease used to say "Koi bhi naukri dilwao." Five years ago, they used to say, "Acchi naukri dilwao." And now they say "Dus hazar rupay ki naukri dilwao." And even then, it's not so easy for them to get jobs for that meager amount of 10,000, which is barely enough to keep these young men eating and with a roof over their bed, not even a house not… Just a bed, and let alone leaving them with money to send back home. You know India is a huge remittance economy.
13:01 RN: In Mumbai, top employers, get away with meager salaries, because most of the applicants stay in their own homes. But this means that others from all over India from specially from UP and Bihar… Almost one out of two children that are going to be born in India are going to come from these two states. And it sort of forecloses their options in cities like Mumbai and other cities in the south and west of India, where all the economic growth has been happening. There are 150 million people, who migrate within the country every year, in search of work and most of them are young men, And yet, there are 10,000 open positions every day that TeamLease cannot fill. Just think of all these things that are not matching up. Young men desperately looking for good jobs and not able to find them. They have very high aspirations today for various reasons and will not work without adequate pay and dignity. Imagine what it means then, and this is really worth imagining well, to a country and to a society, to have millions of idle, restless men, many armed with this educational degrees, and with no prospect of living the life, they really want and believe they deserve.
14:14 RN: If you look at the trajectory of Jyoti or Nirbhaya, and the trajectory of the people, who committed such violence against her, where you think their lives were headed and where you think her was? And we really need to see, what can we do? Now nobody wants to be a farmer. Go and ask anybody in the country, 'Do you want to be a farmer?" Most of the time, the answer is "No," and who can blame that person, because it's not really very remunerative at all. And the jobs that are available in logistics or as security guards, there are nine million security guards in India. And you know… Imagine the life of a security guard, alone, away from his family. Standing at a post for 12 hours a day, with very little wages. Just imagine, what is going on in the minds of these people. Barely subsistence wages, food exorbitant, housing exorbitant, public transport is poor, the list goes on.
15:07 RN: So let's face it, 200 million young men… Just a minute more. 200 million young men stuck in low level equilibrium. What we need to do? Okay. First they need much better laws and much better policy. This is a challenge for law makers. They need better policy and public financing of affordable shelter, public transport, identity-based access to finance. They need skilling, education. This is a concern for policy makers. They need plenty of platforms, where they can safely explore sensitive questions. They need good role models. They need structured activities, empathy and to build up self-esteem. This is addressed to civil society institutions. And they need all of us, to partake in the civilizational goal of nurturing better human beings. They need us to believe that everyone can change for the better, and they need those of us, who can to support the few organizations working in this space.
16:06 RN: I leave you with this belief that it is a creative challenge for all of us and an urgent one. We have created solid legal frameworks and support programs for women. That's wonderful. But we need to recognize that we may have over-corrected for historical injustice. In their own right, young men need us to do more for them in our society and give them safe spaces to speak out and different programs that help them get a boot up. We need to do this for men in their own right, and we need to do it anyway even if we want women to be empowered. I think it's about time to look at this very seriously, and I hope you will agree with me. Thank you and namaste.

ACTEM 08 Session Notes: Tim Tyson "Putting Your Class on the Grid"
Tim started at Mabry with video. Upon reflection he would have preferred to start with blogging as a place to hold the video work.
Tim relayed a story about generating interest in blogging through parent meeting.
Parents wanted to know what was going on in the classroom.
The blog was the natural follow through.
Why Blog instead of a traditional web page?
Pulled parents in to subscribe to RSS feeds using Bloglines. They pulled off parent pd.
Explains the benefits of using an RSS reader.
Creating blogs to make more work for parents - not teachers.
Tell parents to go to the blogs instead of just asking your kids what happened in class (they always say nothing).
Teachers were required to post to their blogs at least once/week.
Came back to Mrs. Abrams class.
She used her blog for "scribe" notes. This was a great reflective piece for her since what got in the notes (what the students heard) did not always match what she thought she taught.
Each teacher got a copy of Ecto for posting to their blogs.

NJ Transit celebrate PTC milestone
NJ Transit have marked a major milestone for the implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC) as 100-percent completion of the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) 2018 year-end goal was achieved.
The milestone required the installation of equipment on locomotives and cab control cars, installation of 326 miles of wayside equipment including radios, transponders and poles, as well as initiating PTC testing and employee training. Because of this milestone being reached, NJ Transit can now apply for an alternative schedule to have PTC fully operational by the end of 2020.
Over the next two years NJ Transit will continue to install PTC equipment to the remaining 158 locomotives and cab cars bringing the total number of vehicle installations to 440. The remaining 985 employees will also be trained, bringing the total number of PTC trained employees to 2,730. Testing will continue to ensure reliability of all systems in anticipation of full FRA PTC certification.
Governor Phil Murphy said:
"It's a new day at NJ TRANSIT, We promised the people of New Jersey that we would start making it right at NJ TRANSIT and this achievement shows we are doing just that. Make no mistake. There's still a lot of work left to do on PTC, but this is a major step forward as we continue to rebuild our mass transit system."
Congressman Bill Pascrell said:
"After years of being behind schedule, meeting the federal deadline for installing Positive Train Control technology along NJ TRANSIT rail lines shows transit passengers that safety is priority number one. I expect PTC can help prevent future accidents and start restoring New Jerseyans' trust in our public transit. While there are miles to go to repair the damage from years of neglect, Governor Murphy deserves commendation for his focus on improving NJ TRANSIT. We must again have a mass transit system New Jerseyans deserve."
Congressman Albio Sires said:
"I want to congratulate Governor Murphy on meeting this important Positive Train Control (PTC) milestone and making this effort one of his highest priorities. This will enhance the safety of all rail commuters and prevent tragic train accidents such as train-to-train collisions and high-speed derailments from happening in the future"
NJ TRANSIT Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti said:
"On behalf of the board, I extend our thanks to the Governor for his unwavering commitment, and to the staff, for meeting such a critical deadline necessary to ensure continued service for our customers"
NJ TRANSIT Executive Director Kevin Corbett said:
"Accomplishing this goal would not have been possible without the hard work and commitment of the men and women at NJ TRANSIT assigned to this project, along with our contractors, who completed four years of work in less than a year. As our customers are at the heart of what we do, I also want to thank them for their patience and understanding in helping us reach this milestone. This achievement is certainly something I'm proud of, but we still have another four years' worth of work to accomplish in the next two years. While there is still much work to be done, I'm confident that our team will have PTC fully operational by December 31, 2020."

Qatar: Filipino artist captures mood of World Cup through combination of graffiti and murals
Qatar-based Filipino artist Michael Conjusta describes himself as Interior Decorative Artist, Painter, Muralist, Face and Body Painting, Visual Artist and Music lover on his Instagram account. One thing conspicuous by its absence on his social media profile is that he is a big time football fan and that of Argentina's Lionel Messi.
Doha: Qatar-based Filipino artist Michael Conjusta describes himself as Interior Decorative Artist, Painter, Muralist, Face and Body Painting, Visual Artist and Music lover on his Instagram account. One thing conspicuous by its absence on his social media profile is that he is a big time football fan and that of Argentina's Lionel Messi.
As a child Michael Conjusta wanted to be a doctor and serve humanity reaching out to the sick and those in need of medical attention. Thirty years down Michael is not surrounded by stethoscope, syringes, thermometers, and other tools which are part of a medical professional but with paints and brushes.
With the World Cup kicking off in Qatar on November 20 the football extravaganza has served a platform to many artists from different parts of the world. Michael's case is no different. His murals at World Cup stadiums has shot him into the limelight and served as a greatest platform for his talents and art works. Michael has left fans from across the globe impressed with his eye-catching murals which are at the centre of attraction at Al Bayt, Lusail, Al Janoub and Al Thumama stadiums and the Doha Corniche.
"So far I have done 21 murals the last is on December 18 the Qatar National day and I have been assigned to do one in Corniche area. I am really enjoying contributing to the art and culture celebrations, especially when people praise my work and ask for a selfie. I feel like a superstar! I am always eager to meet new people and make new friends," said the long time Qatar resident, while speaking to IANS.
"Yes, I am a fan of Argentina and of Messi. I enjoy when fans of the winning team leave the game cheering, especially in the metro. It feels like a fiesta," he said with a huge laugh.
The 44-year-old has been creating artwork as part of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) Cultural Activation Programme, which is hosting talent during the FIFA World Cup to complement the festive atmosphere in the host country.
Michael's fascination with Messi and Argentina started a few months back during the Qatar International Art Festival where he made a three-dimensional painting of the Argentina great, who on Sunday will be aiming to win his first World Cup with the La Albiceleste.
"Yes I got into the World Cup mode in the month of September when the Qatar International Art Festival was held and the theme of the festival was the football World Cup so keeping in tune with the requirements I had made a painting of a younger Messi, a 20-year-old to the present day 35-year-old one."
The festival which was held over five days attracted over 600 artworks by 300 artists representing 65 countries, and belonging to various spectra, generations, and art schools and Michael considers himself privileged to take part in the event.
"I got to meet so many artists and art lovers, made new friendships and it was like a test event for much bigger things which were in store during the World Cup," he recalled about the event.
Michael, who has been intermixing his love for Jogo Bonita and his art before the World Cup, is delighted by the response he has been getting from fans and others who are following his work.
"It feels amazing! Everyone is proud of me, especially my family and friends back home in the Philippines. Seeing fans pose and take photos with my artwork has also made me feel very special. It really means a lot. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to showcase my talent to everyone visiting from around the world. It's amazing exposure for me as an artist," who has spent 24 years in Qatar and considers it as his second home.
Talking about his early life in the Philippines he said: "I moved to Qatar as an interior decorator, I was still studying architecture. I decided to make the move for a better living opportunity. I also had dreams of becoming a doctor one day, but here I am!
"I first started drawing when I was eight years old. I really enjoyed it from the start. I'm still progressing as a professional graffiti artist as I'm still exploring different techniques and learning about this art form." He said.
Describing his art he said: "What I create is a mix of graffiti and murals. Graffiti is more about spontaneous writing, lettering, sketching and scribbles, while murals are usually larger and more intentional drawings that could vary in complexity."
Every profession and work has its challenges and Michael is one step ahead to overcome them in order to finish his art works with finesse and perfection.
"I find this type of art to be challenging because I have to apply what is on my mind and make it instantly work on the surface. During my live art performances, I am conscious of the fans and competing teams, so I like to include elements from the matches or the tournament, like La'eeb. I like to think that I'm a positive person and aim to reflect that in my work, give my best and enjoy the end result with fans."
"No compromises, no second thoughts, I will back and will be fully behind Argentina and I want them to win the World Cup on Sunday," said Michael as a parting shot.

MMI News: Pre-registration launched for MMI's new app-based veterinary wellbeing programme
MMI has collaborated with The Kite Program to develop a mental health and wellbeing programme, called MMI Kite App, that incorporates bespoke microlearning modules for the veterinary professions.
Microlearning is a type of (typically) online learning which delivers content in bite-size modules. This type of training usually combines a mixture of interactive activities, images and videos, which can be worked through in short chunks of time. Veterinary professionals often have busy workdays and put in long hours, which was taken into account when MMI Kite App was being developed. All the training modules on the app can easily be incorporated into someone's day-to-day work and personal life, with many only taking five minutes to complete.
MMI Kite App is completely free to use and will have a range of learning modules (affectionately known as 'Kites') specifically for the UK veterinary professions. The app allows users to choose the learning modules they want to take (there are no mandatory modules) and work through them at a pace to suit them. The first 'Kites' available on MMI Kite App will include modules on breathing activities, mindfulness, time management and physical activity for mental health. The platform will be adding new modules over the weeks and months and the MMI team will use feedback from members to ensure that the content is what is needed.
Angharad Belcher, RCVS Director for Advancement of the Professions, commented: "Veterinary professionals undertake vital work for animal health and welfare, but the intensity and pressure of their work can take its toll on mental health and wellbeing. Sadly, research shows that compared to the general population, veterinary professionals are more likely to experience mental health distress, including depression and anxiety.
"We recognise how hard it can be for veterinary professionals to fit wellbeing activities into their busy workdays and understand that everyone's mental health needs are different. By collaborating with The Kite Program, we wanted to create a wellbeing platform that was accessible, flexible and had a range of activities to meet a variety of mental health and wellbeing needs. This app will be another useful tool for the professions, and we are pleased to be able to offer it free of charge.
"We are really looking forward to hearing feedback from the professions about the platform and creating more modules based on their wants and needs."
Hannah Hardy-Jones, The Kite Program CEO and Founder, said: "We use a Kite as an effective analogy for talking about wellbeing. At the Kite Program, we believe this is a much easier analogy to explain and normalise wellbeing and mental health, which can often be very clinical and unrelatable. As people, we go between having soaring kites right through to having a kite that is broken and on the ground. It takes practice, patience and skills to be able to fly your kite in any condition. Our app and programs are designed to help people learn to "fly" confidently. As you move through each Kite module within the app, you build skills in an accessible and practical way."
All activity undertaken on the app is highly secure, as users can't input any personal information into the MMI Kite App and the only data that MMI will hold is a record of active users. There is an extra level of security whereby if the app is not used for four consecutive weeks, then the user ID is marked as inactive, and the user will need to reactivate their account.
Anyone who would like to pre-register for MMI Kite App can do so by visiting the MMI Kite App page and filling in their details. Anyone who is attending BEVA Congress 2021 will be able to visit the RCVS conference stand to see a demo of MMI Kite App and ask questions about the platform. Once MMI Kite App is launched early registrants will receive email instructions from MMI on how to access and start their Kite journey.


Here is the information for our New Life Summer Camp. This is going to be another exciting year for our youth. We will experience Acceleration in order to forward the Kingdom as the Holy Spirit gives us a fresh filling of his Spirit.
The camp will be at Camp Elkanah La Grande, Ore. on July 29th. through Aug 2cd.
Several Items I need to mention to you.
Please NOTE: If the camper is in the 6th grade, but is younger in age or maybe not as mature as most, the youth leader and/or parent can opt for the younger camp at their discretion. It must be noted on the application.
g. Prayer and fasting schedule.
j. On the downloads page paper forms can be downloaded.
c. If your church has your background check on file just email me a copy.
4. We are asking all that attend the camp to register on line at the camp website www.newlife summercamp.com. This will simplify the entire process and will assist us in the registration.
7. We will supply a T shirt for each staff person, to be pre-ordered with proper size by June 1st.
8. The dates and price deadlines are stated on the applications.
9. The sooner I can get a count of campers the easier it will be to determine the need for food, staff, etc.
10. We will be ordering Camp T shirts; it is necessary to pre-order with your sizes with your registration on June 1st or before.
11. I am asking each Pastor to set up regular times of fasting and prayer for the New Life Summer Camp. There will be a schedule posted on the web site. We will also have altar workers and a prayer team for this camp.
13. All campers will be the responsibility of each church arriving at the camp until they are registered and the luggage delivered to the cabins.
14. I have set up a link page for the camp that you can access, and / or correspond by email.
15. If you know of any person, corporation or organization who might be willing to donate cases of food or snacks, it would really help us to keep the costs lower.


The Ascend USC Mentorship Program is a program created for selected students to explore career interests and engage in mutually beneficial, professionally oriented relationships with alumni and community members. The program's mission is to enrich and support the professional, academic and personal experiences of undergraduate students in order to assist them in transitioning from academic to professional life.

        }
    ]

}

A: const theDeets = Response.moduleDetails // accessing object property

const firstDeet = theDeets[0] // accessing array element using index

const secondElementValue = firstDeet[1].elementValue // chaining both methods

console.log(secondElementValue) // prints "Europe"

From here you'll want to look up Array methods and Object methods to do more stuff with the data, but this is the answer to how you access stuff.

The FA's ridiculous behaviour needs to come to an end
by Thomas Hallett share
11/4/2012 | 02:13pm
While the NFL is coming off the extremely heavy punishment handed out to the New Orleans Saints, their head coach Sean Payton and other members of staff for their participation in the bounty program, the FA are steamrolling in the other direction and avoiding justice in any ridiculous way they can.
Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints have been punished due to their participation in a bounty program which saw Saints players receive rewards upwards of $10,000 for targeting and injuring players, and specifically those with serious injury in their history. The Saints head coach has been suspended for the entire upcoming season, while similar punishments have been handed out to other members of the organisation who took part.
In unbelievable comparison, the FA have completely ignored violent play, rather looking to uphold the authority of their referees, who show nothing but incompetence. This has absolutely nothing to do with player safety or stamping out violent challenges, it's simply the FA doing their best to avoid undermining their officials. And once again, they've done absolutely the opposite of the right thing.
The FA's decision to avoid punishing Mario Balotelli following his ridiculous, undisciplined and violent attitude against Arsenal players on the weekend, specifically the challenge on Alex Song, is beyond laughable. So Martin Atkinson has admitted to seeing the challenge but not deeming it worthy of a red or even yellow card. Forget the almost unanimous cries for video technology, assaults such as this is where the governing bodies need to start doing their job. Sadly, players' comments on Twitter seems to take priority over any important matters.
Again, this is nothing to do with wanting to uphold the laws of the game; any referee with a bit of sense would have sent Balotelli off, as would his manager, the Arsenal manager, as well as any of the large number of players and former players that were sitting on both benches. The FA were rather seeking to avoid the hysteria created by the media and fans and simply look the other way. Well honestly, who cares if Martin Atkinson is undermined and his judgment called into question? He'd still be able to walk, which is more than could be said for Song had his leg been planted in the ground.
As well as this, the Shaun Derry incident sparked more than one debate, rather than just the single foolish misjudgement from the officials. Where was the outrage for Ashley Young conning the referee? Or to put it in language they'd understand, "Young was looking to 'deceive' the referee." The ridiculous language used to describe Eduardo's penalty incident against Celtic a number of years ago in the Champions League. Well that aside, the FA have once again got it so obviously wrong. There's no concern for a club fighting relegation—no, no, they prefer to fine clubs for fielding 'weakened sides'—instead, they're simply looking to uphold the judgment of their referee, despite him and his assistants being wrong.
In a time where the National Hockey League hand out anything up to and beyond 10-game suspensions for hits to the head, and the National Football League being persistent with their initial punishment towards the Saints despite appeals, the football world, headed by FIFA, need to start taking similar acts to ensure player safety. Unfortunately, leaders of governing bodies like Sepp Blatter are more interested in creating talking points from the game and offering fans a number of topics to engage in discussion. Despite the dislike—a very polite term in this case—for the NHL's commissioner Gary Bettman, he, nor any of the league managers would stand for such nonsensical notions against their game.
Last week it came to light that the MLS had suspended three players for violent conduct upon review. How embarrassing must it be that a league so far down the pecking order in quality such as the MLS is light years ahead of where the FA and English football should be with regards to player discipline.

I shared this over at See Vanessa Craft at the beginning of the month in Vanessa's 30 Crafty Days of Halloween but of course I had to share it here with all of you, well I still hope there are some of you out there since I've been so quiet on the blog this whole year.
This is a super quick and easy project perfect for Halloween!
This project is a no sew and it so fast. Just need to let the paint dry but if you have a blow dryer handy, you can get this project done in about 30 mins or less.
Begin by cutting your burlap into the shape of a candy corn.
Take one piece of burlap and start at the top with the white paint and paint the tip of the candy corn white. I used a foam stencil brush to paint and pounced the paint on. Some times if you try to brush the paint on burlap, it pulls at the fibers and creates strings.
Continue painting the rest of the burlap in the candy corn colors.
I left a small border around the the edge of the candy corn instead of painting the whole thing.
Next I used black paint to outline the candy corn to give it a little more definition.
I then chose to write trick or treat on the candy corn with paint but this is totally optional.
You can leave it plain or add something different if you'd like.
Once your paint is dry, it is time to glue your two pieces of burlap together. Glue around the entire outside edge leaving a small hole so you can add some batting to stuff it (same process as sewing a pillow).
Also, while you glue, glue a ribbon between the two pieces of burlap so you can hang your candy corn.
Next, grab some batting and stuff your candy corn.
Once you've stuffed your candy corn to your liking, just glue the hole closed.
Find a fun place to hang it, on an old shutter, on your door, where ever!
Fun little easy decoration and great way to greet those little ghosts and goblins on Halloween night!
Adorable! So bright and cheery for the season.


Classes just started again. Oh joy. There's nothing exciting about sitting in a classroom for a few hours everyday, especially when most of the material being taught is already outdated.
Today, instead of counting ceiling tiles, I began to think how lean startup techniques could be applied to a traditional classroom setting. Granted, education is an industry that is extremely resistant to change, but there are ways that teachers can incorporate some of these principals with little resistance from school administration.
Typically, a professor will lecture for a few weeks, which is then followed by an exam. After grading the exams, the professor is then able to see how well the students performed. If the majority of students performed poorly, the professor is to largely to blame. In the lean startup, it's extremely important to have a continuous feedback loop. This is called the Build-Measure-Learn loop, and it's illustrated below.
In education, a professor will **build **a curriculum for the class. Over the course of the semester, he/she will seek to **measure **progress by assigning homework, tests, and projects. At the end of the course, the professor will **learn **if the curriculum/teaching worked or not.
How can teachers quickly learn and adapt their curriculum to serve students better?
I've only used a clicker for a few lecture classes. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how a clicker works, it's very simple. The teacher asks questions, and the students respond with the device. The teacher is then able to see how the students answered. Every professor that I had who used the clicker typically asked questions at the end of the class.
This works and provides valuable feedback, yet professors can speed up their learning by using this system multiple times during class. Professors present many different concepts throughout a one-hour class, so it's critical to "chunk" the class into multiple sections (or learning topics). This accelerates the feedback loop exponentially, enabling the professor to pivot many times throughout the class!
Education is centered around the final grade. If a student receives an "A", education would deem that the student has "learned" what is necessary for the class. I find it fascinating how certain students struggle throughout the whole class, while others have no trouble at all. Students shouldn't be as worried about the final grade, and instead focus on how much they learn throughout the duration of the course (validated learning).
In the real world, this concept plagues many businesses. Generating income ASAP is the main priority, even if it means sacrificing long term financial success. Likewise, I think professors are focused on a student's short-term performance, instead of long-term success.
I think the minimum viable product (MVP) of education is still uncharted territory. Startups are trying to tap into this multi-billion dollar behemoth, yet resistance is strong, and the system is hesitant to change. In my opinion, the success of these startups will be determined by how quickly companies can** tailor education on an individual basis**.
What are your thoughts? How can teachers use Lean Startup principles to serve students?

The Work: The Lyrics of Scott Hutchison
The love and care put into this book of Scott Hutchison's lyrics serves to lift up his work and focus on the legacy that he left behind
Book Review by Nicola Love | 29 Nov 2021
Book title: The Work: The Lyrics of Scott Hutchison
Author: Scott Hutchison
Whether it was a snowy night at the Barrowlands or a drunken singalong in Bloc, every fan has at least one vivid memory of a Frightened Rabbit gig. The band could soundtrack the most devastating break-up of your life and the most jubilant night with friends, often at the same time. Central to that was Scott Hutchison and his raw, unflinching and delightfully inelegant songwriting sensibilities.
The premise of The Work: The Lyrics of Scott Hutchison is simple: it is an exhaustive collection of the words from those songs. Designed and typeset by Dave Thomas of dlt, who has worked closely with Scott and the band throughout their career, there is a generous helping of handwritten lyric sheets, doodles and illustrations. Scott's sense of humour is sprinkled throughout too. The lyrics to Snake, a cult favourite that the singer was heckled to play at almost every show, are scribbled out. A footnote from the singer reads: "Fuck off."
This collection memorialises Scott, who died in May 2018, in a way none of us wishes it had to – however the love and care put into the book serves to lift up his work and focus on the legacy that he left behind. "I haven't quite found the right word for what it is, whether it's therapeutic or cathartic," Scott is quoted as saying in the book's foreword. He gave so many of us both.

Love Actually Soundtrack (2-LP Set)
Product Select Red & White - $ 26.98
Ten interlocking love stories, one big (mostly) happy ending'Love Actually is one of the best romantic comedies of the last two decades, capturing, in poignant, bittersweet fashion, all of the complexity of modern love. One reason why Richard Curtis' 2003 film succeeded with critics and audiences alike (and still plays on cable and even in theaters all the time!) was its incredible cast: Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Billy Bob Thornton, Andrew Lincoln, Rowan Atkinson'the list goes on. But another very important reason was its score; as Curtis writes in the personal note we've included in the package, 'Without its music, Love Actually wouldn't work at all. I know'because I saw the film without the music, and 1t's a shocker.' Indeed, the high wattage star power of the actors in Love Actually is matched by its musical artists: The Beach Boys, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, Norah Jones, Dido, Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell, The Pointer Sisters, and more (plus a bonus Christmas-themed track from Otis Redding)! The result: a listening experience every bit as satisfying (and romantic) as the film. For this holiday vinyl release, we've pressed up red and white 'candy cane' platters and put 'em inside a comely gatefold jacket. A must for the movie's many fans and a Christmastime essential!

French DJ and producer Chloé Thevenin is a bit of a dark horse. Her releases over the past five years have come with little to no fanfare but have been more than warmly received. As part of the Kill The DJ crew she has now released two very accomplished albums, her most recent, One In Other took little regard for what an album by a techno DJ should sound like, including lush downtempo moments and abstract meanderings amongst the club friendly tracks. "Diva," from the album was one of the highlights for its spooked out, pace-conscious meander through blood and toil-wrought slo-mo house. This week's download treat is the Alex Smoke remix of "Diva," heightening the spook factor to knife-wielding, paranoiac levels as the Glaswegian ups the tempo and adds his own meticulous, glitchy details to the brooding vocals from Chloé. Somewhere between an acid house death rattle and a late Halloween present, Mr Smoke focuses his evil eye on "Diva" with claves so sharp they could shave off your eyebrows and a delicious broken beat drum arrangement that transforms the menacing original in to a full blown club monster. Thanks to Alex Smoke, Chloé and Kill The DJ for the track.

Q: angular2 service passing response to component I'm trying to separate the http request from my component and putting it in a service, how can I pass the response I get from the request to my action in my component?
Like in angular 1 you can do something like the code below in the controller, and do the http request in a service.
var getGenreList = function() {
            coreGenreService.getGenreList(vm.id)
                .then(function(response) {
                     console.log(vm.name);
                });
        }

I tried sort of applying the same logic however I'm not sure how I can pass the response to my controller.
Service:
getUser(){
        this.http.get('http://../api/User?email='+this.customerEmail)
            .map(response => response.text())
            .subscribe(data => {
                if (data) {
                    var userObj = JSON.parse(data);
                    this.UserEmail = userObj.EmailAddress;
                }
        });
    }

I can see that this is getting the json objs but when I do a search I don't see any values in the object, I'm guessing because its not being passed in the searchUser()
searchUser() {
    this.isLoading = true;
    if(!this._searchService.getUser()){
        setTimeout(() => {
            this.isLoading = false;
        }, 500)
    }
}

Html input structure:
<input type="text" name="UserEmail" [(ngModel)]="customerEmail" placeholder="Search customer email"> <br>
<button (click)="UserCustomer()" class="omni-btn search-btn float-shadow">Search</button>

A: You need to refactor your service this way:
getUser(customerEmail: string): Observable<string>{
    return this.http.get(`http://../api/User?email=${customerEmail}`)
        .map(response => response.json());
}

In your component, you can call the service like this:
searchUser() {
  this.isLoading = true;
  this._searchService.getUser(this.customerEmail)
    .subscribe(user => {
      this.isLoading = false;

      // To use for data binding in the component
      this.user = user;

      console.log('user = ', user);
  });
}

There are many types of trading platforms in this investment sector and each trading platform specializes in one area.
For example, you will see that some trading software is boasting to be the first to launch their platform with integrated Forex artificial intelligence. Some trading platforms give the traders the past analysis of the market with the live market trend. Some trading platforms also offer you the expected price level of the currency pair in future to help you in taking decisions. But the good thing is that you can easily open a Swiss demo trading account to test each platform. So make sure that you demo trade the market with your new platform and assess its performance thoroughly before getting fully invested with a certain broker.
Bonuses mainly depend on your brokers. As your trading platform is given by the broker when you open your account with them, the trading company will give you many bonuses through the brokers. You can get these bonuses from trading platforms. Also, the leverage is not the same in all trading platforms. It varies from platform to platform and broker.
There is also a difference in the last amount of deposit. As you get to know the market, you will get the market idea of different types of trading platforms. But at the end of the day, you are the one who will select the trading platform. So do some extensive study and see whether your trading platform is well equipped with all the advanced charting tools.
Summary: Trading with a robust platform can dramatically improve your winning edge. Most of the professional traders always suggest the new traders find a perfect trading environment before they get fully invested. However, if you are not sure which broker to trade with, then use their demo account to get the taste of their offered service.

taking some time to think about the girlies for valentines day too. the big male child will be blessed come valentines day, but not with woodland creatures. need to go teen cool for that.
wanted to share what i was whipping up for them using February's work in progress kits.
i tend not to be whimsical with cute forest creatures, but cindy inspired the idea and i thought it would be perfect for my girls who love anything i make for them. my own personal affirmation squad. love!
Have you sent photos of your amazing woodland animals to October Afternoon??
Got my Valentine, sigh... it's so amazing!!!! thank you !!!!!!!


Enhance Performance: What separates everyone else from the best? In soccer, power, speed, agility and most importantly movement control play a huge factor. Our movement screening is designed to help give recreational and elite athletes the competitive edge they're looking for. When the body is moving and breathing efficiently, personal bests arise.
Prevent Injury: Are you suffering with recurring ACL tears, ankle sprain/strains, muscle cramps. etc? Are you constantly using ice, pain relieveing cream and other tools to manage pain? Why not find out what the underlying problem ("weak link") is with our Movement Screens?
Use movement analysis technology to identify your unique movement impairments and find out your soccer performance score. Revolutionize how you train!
Specificity Works! Now that we have identified your specific impairments with movement screening, CORE is able to create a custom exercise program that will only include exercises that you need to prevent pain/injury and help you excel.
Take your new assets to the field to unlock your potential for improved technique. We'll collaborate with your soccer coach to change your game.
I'm already working with my soccer coach: Your soccer coach helps you with soccer specific technique but, if you have an underlying movement restriction or muscle imbalance you may hit a plateau with technique training. When the body encounters an impairment like a restriction or muscle imbalance it must deviate it's path of movement to compensate. These compensations effect the accurancy and timing of your game. CORE will fix your underlying impairments so you can easily integrate the coaching technique given to you by your coach.
I'm already working with a strength & conditioning coach: Length and strength is only one piece of the puzzle. Most fitness programs focus on these two elements alone. Finding the right exercises for your impairments encompasses more than just length and strength, we will help you find the missing piece.
Learn how professional athletes worlwide are leading the way to changing how they train!


How can we help eliminate homelessness by providing a community of affordable micro-housing?
The goal of this project is to create a new typology for urban housing that helps address the problem of homelessness in urban centers by providing a stable dwelling place for those coming out of homelessness. Community is fostered through common activities and interactions that build and strengthen personal relationships. The project provides a core space to foster these relationships and an adaptable framework as community grows and contracts. 12 prefabricated dwelling modules are arranged adjacent to one another to form a central community porch. From street side this gives the appearance of a human-scaled urban building, rather than loosely organized mobile dwellings. The community porch is centralized to increase resident interactions, provide visual and sound connections, and create a sense of safety. A simple wood trellis roof with clear plastic covers the dwellings and community porch like an umbrella. Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in an underground cistern where it's used to flush toilets and water the garden. The umbrella roof reduces heat gain from the sun and keeps the rain and snow off the dwelling units. This increases the energy efficiency of the dwellings and extends their lifespan. The trellis and units may be added to or subtracted from as necessary to accommodate the residents.
