Based in London (currently working from home; other locations will be considered, but when possible, the ability to work from London on a regular basis is essential).
The Cares Family is an anti-racist organisation committed to advancing anti-racism. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer.
ABOUT THE CARES FAMILY
The Cares Family's mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people's connection, belonging, purpose and power in a rapidly changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.
Those relationships have had a dramatic impact. 98% of young people involved say they have a stronger connection to the community. 73% of older neighbours involved say their isolation is reduced; 86% are better able to appreciate the changing world; and 77% say their relations with young people have improved. Neighbours report feeling reduced loneliness, improved understanding across generations, a deeper sense of belonging, and "part of something bigger".
But as the Covid-19 pandemic has shown, loneliness is not just a personal crisis for younger and older people; it's also a broader public health crisis and a national political crisis. It affects millions of people – from people newly working from home or cooped up in university halls, to new parents; middle aged men to digitally savvy teenagers; LGBT+ people to new migrants. In fact, those who are already marginalised in society experience its consequences the most.
So, as well as improving individual lives and community togetherness, The Cares Family has started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too – through storytelling and campaigning work that are rapidly increasing our profile and making an even bigger difference.
In 2018, the then Prime Minister launched the government's first ever loneliness strategy (which we lobbied for and helped shape) at a Cares Family social club. We have received coverage in The Economist, The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and on BBC1's News at Ten and Channel 4 News, as well as support from Russell Howard and Florence and the Machine. And in 2018, our Founder and CEO was appointed one of 20 inaugural Obama Fellows, bringing new attention to our issues and work.
We are therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the year ahead. We plan to do that with our 'Action, Voice, Power' strategy – increasing our local action with new projects, raising up the voices of human experience through new campaigns, and working to ensure national and local government make new investments to reduce loneliness, and build connections across perceived divides.
ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGNS PLANS
That's why we are looking for a Campaigns Lead to put rocket boosters under our systemic and cultural impact. Specifically, you will work with our CEO to develop and execute a cross-party, public-facing campaign coalition, which is already in development, to rally public and political support for a major government investment in building connection over the next generation; with our creative Programmes teams to enable local intergenerational activism in London, Liverpool, Manchester and other places to help build togetherness and change systems locally; and with our innovative Projects team to guide national campaigns like Intergenerational Week.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are looking for someone who:
Has significant and proven experience driving change at the national level – and knows how to build the campaign architecture, narratives, relationships, coalitions and media coverage to affect national policy change in Westminster.
Is collaborative – and knows how to bring together and coordinate a coalition of organisations with their own distinct goals to create a coherent, powerful message that will achieve its goal.
Knows how to mobilise people – through clear, actionable 'asks' of the public, online and offline, and by bringing our neighbours, teams, partners and politicians with them.
Has the expertise to appraise data, create targeted emails and social media content that motivate people to take action, and tell beautiful stories that inspire change.

Trump's tweets came a day after Democrats in the House offered a vague border security plan that would not provide a penny for his wall, ignoring — for now — his warnings that they'd be wasting their time if they don't come up with wall money.
The Democratic offer Wednesday was just a starting point in House-Senate talks on border security funding that kicked off in a basement room in the Capitol. A top Democrat acknowledged that "everything is on the table," including the border barriers demanded by Trump. Lawmakers on both sides flashed signs of flexibility, eager to demonstrate willingness to compromise in hopes of resolving the standoff with Trump that sparked the 35-day partial government shutdown.
But Trump on Thursday tamped down expectations, telling GOP negotiators that they were "wasting their time."
The high-stakes talks are taking place against the backdrop of another possible shutdown in mid-February — an outcome Trump's GOP allies in the Senate are especially eager to avoid.

Tasmania to be first State to offer apology to victims of former anti-gay laws
21 December 2015 News
Tasmanian gay rights advocates have welcomed a state government announcement that it will move legislation next year to allow criminal records for gay sex to be expunged, and have praised its decision to apologise to those who were prosecuted.
In 1997 Tasmanian became the final Australian state to decriminalise private, consenting, adult male sex, and it will be the first to provide a formal apology to those arrested and their families.
"For those men who were prosecuted in Tasmania for simply being in same-sex relationships it will be a great relief to be rid of the disadvantage and stigma that comes with an unfair criminal record," says Tasmanian Gay and Lesbian Rights Group spokesperson, Rodney Croome.
"I am proud that Tasmania will be the first state to apologise to those arrested and their families because it will lift a burden from their shoulders and send the strongest message yet that Tasmania is a progressive and inclusive society."
In 2008, in a nationally unprecedented move, the Hobart City Council formally apologised for the arrests of gay law reform advocates at Salamanca Market in 1988.
Mr Croome welcomed the Government's decision to allow the possibility of expungement for other former 'crimes'."Tasmania was the only state to criminalise cross dressing and I look forward to people targeted under those provisions having he opportunity to clear their names and their records."
Mr Croome said his preference is for expungement applications to be made by an independent expert panel, as proposed by the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner, Robin Banks.
The other states that have already passed expungement legislation are South Australia, Victoria, NSW, and the ACT. None have offered formal apologies to those arrested. Under Tasmania's former anti-gay laws the maximum penalty for consenting adult private male sex was 21 years in jail – the highest in the western world.
The decade-long campaign to repeal these laws involved the United Nations Human Rights Committee, the Federal Government, the High Court and Amnesty International.

LITTLE ROCK — When Bret Bielema was hired as the Arkansas head coach, some fans worried his offense would be too conservative.
After the past two games, perhaps he needs to exercise more discretion — at least when it comes to gadget plays.
For the second consecutive game, a failed trick play turned the tide against Arkansas as Mississippi State won 24-17 in overtime at War Memorial Stadium.
Leading 10-3 late in the second quarter, the Razorbacks faced a fourth-and-2 at their own 44 with the howling wind at punter Sam Irwin-Hill's back. Both teams had been playing a field position battle due to a steady 14-20 mph wind blowing out of the north end of the stadium.
Arkansas had reached the Bulldogs' 32 in the first quarter and, instead of trying a long Zach Hocker field goal into the wind, the Razorbacks punted. After Arkansas scored for a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, Hocker booted a high pooch kick that covered only 29 yards into the wind.
Mississippi State's kicker did the same in the second quarter after the Bulldogs pulled within four at 7-3 with a field goal.
Given all that, few expected Bielema to dial up yet another fake punt by Irwin-Hill. Few that is, except the Mississippi State special teamers, who easily stuffed the Australian's run for a 4-yard loss. Three plays later, the Bulldogs tied the game at 10-10 with a 30-yard TD pass.
"Mississippi State runs 'punt safe' quite a bit. We thought that we had a very, very good look. It was the look we wanted and gave it the green light to go," Bielema said. "We missed a critical block. If I had it to do all over again, obviously I wouldn't. But we thought the look was there and thought we'd get 5 to 10 (yards) if they reacted properly."
Bielema said the play broke down because Dan Skipper missed a block on Mississippi State's Denico Autry.
"We missed the block on (Autry) there," Bielema said "On kicking formations, you can't cut (block). If you're running the ball, you can and that's what Dan tried to do and obviously missed it."
It was the fourth time Irwin-Hill has tried a fake punt. He's been successful twice. He ran 12 yards for a first down against Alabama. He's also completed 1-of-2 passes for 24 yards, with the one completion against Rutgers and the incompletion against South Carolina.
"Four (fake punts) a year, yeah, that would be a record (for me)," Bielema said. "But it's nothing more than you get a look you feel you want. Sam is a very good athlete, we thought with that look there … but we missed an opportunity."
In the Razorbacks' last game two weeks ago against Ole Miss, another botched gimmick play also turned the momentum in the favor of the Rebels. With the Razorbacks trailing by three, Arkansas drove into Rebels territory midway through the third quarter.
On first-and-10 at the Ole Miss 39, Arkansas tried a halfback pass. Jonathan Williams was dumped for a 9-yard loss. Never able to make up that lost yardage, the Razorbacks punted. Five plays later Ole Miss took a 10-point lead and all the momentum.


This PIP uses the informations extracted from the certificate by Common XACML Authorization Profile PIP and Grid Authorization Profile PIP, so it must be configured as the last PIP into the PEP server.
This PIP looks in the request subject attributes for the attribute containing subject of the CA that issued the certificate contained in the request, and the attribute containing the VO name linked to the request.
If no attribute is found holding the CA subject, the PIP returns without modifying the request. Otherwise, this PIP checks whether the included certificate subject and VOMS attributes are allowed by local authentication profile policies.
If the policies are NOT met, subject and VOMS attributes are removed from the request. If the policies are met, the x509-authn-profile attribute is set, containing the authentication profile resolved for the request.
Create a new INI section for the PIP, with any valid INI section name (e.g. AUTHN_PROFILE_PIP).
In this section add the parserClass property with the value org.glite.authz.pep.pip.provider.authnprofilespip.AuthenticationProfilePIPConfigurationParser.
Add the authenticationProfilePolicyFile property with a value corresponding to the absolute path of the authentication profile policies file, traditionally /etc/grid-security/vo-ca-ap-file.
Add the trustAnchors.directory property with a value of the absolute path of the trust anchors directory, where the PIP search the policy info files, typically /etc/grid-security/certificates.
Add the trustAnchors.policyFilePattern property with a value corresponding to a bash globbing expression that matches the policy info files, e.g. policy-*.info.
Optionally, add the trustAnchors.refreshIntervalInSecs property with a value in seconds, that is the refresh time interval used by the PIP to reload the policy files, e.g. 14400.
The Argus 1.7.1 packages provide a default authentication profile policy file located in /etc/argus/pepd/vo-ca-ap-file. This file grants the access only to certificates issued by CAs in the IGTF classic, mics and slcs profiles.
description: The alias of the policy file that contains the DN of the CA issuer.
This PIP requires that the request environment contains the attributes extracted from the X.509 certificate/proxy by the other PIPs.
description: Distinguished Name of the CA issuer.
The following example shows a PEP Server configuration with the Authentication Profile PIP enabled.

In this tutorial, You will know how to configure Stripe with Laravel 5.4 and register subscription based user using the Laravel 5.4 Cashier package.
Laravel is the best back-end technology to easily configure stripe payment system.
In the first step, you will have to setup your Laravel application in your working directory.
Now run composer update command.
Now we need to register service provider Laravel\Cashier\CashierServiceProvider in config/app.php file to the providers array.
By default, you will get a migration file to create a users table so we will need some more columns to the users table and create a new subscriptions table for holding the information of the customer's subscription.
Now to get started with Stripe, we need to create an account first. Once you have created your stripe account then click Plans under Subscriptions.
I have created a diamond plan for testing, you can create your own subscription plan.
Now we need to get Stripe API access key to configure Stripe in Laravel and you can get keys from clicking on the API.
Now i will add the stripe key and secret in config/services.php file.
Finally i need to add the Billable Trait on User Model.
I assume that you have set up the stripe configuration successfully.
Ok let's start with Laravel routes to register a subscription based user.
In this step, we will create a HomeController.php in following directory app/Http/Controllers.
In above code within postSubscription method, i add a user first then subscribe the user with selected plan.
You will notice that we are getting a token as parameter in "create" method, This token is generated from sensitive card data and you will see in the next step that how it will generate.
In this step, we will create a file where users will fill their details, to subscribe a plan for the application.
Using stripe, we do not need to save sensitive card data, we pass these details to the Stripe server and stripe server will return a token if we do not get any error.

The Biological Diversity Act, 2002 (BD Act, 2002) was enacted owing to India's obligation under the International obligation under Convention on Biological Diversity, 1992. The convention is built on the three-fold objective: conservation of biological resources, their sustainable utilisation and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of utilisation of biological resources and related traditional knowledge. The Act is built on a three tier institutional structure: the National Biodiversity Authority, State Biodiversity Boards and Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs).
The BMCs which are to be constituted at every local body have the primary responsibility of preparing a People Biodiversity Registers (PBRs) which are comprehensive records of local biodiversity. The PBRs prepared serves as a legal document which confirms the sovereign rights of that BMC over the resources documented. It serves as a legal basis which proves that the traditional knowledge associated with a particular biological resource is the 'prior art' of that particular community and therefore, cannot be patented. Further, the documentation of people's knowledge about their ecological setting, the changes taking place in these settings and the drivers of these changes reveals important issues of natural resource management. The Action Plan prepared post the PBR preparation (as mandated under the Act) which reflects the conservation priorities of that area, then acts a basis for knowledge based system of natural resource management. The BMCs have been empowered to levy financial charges in the form of fees from those accessing biological resources from their jurisdiction; thereby enabling the BMC to sustain itself.
LIFE's research has been used by other groups in their advocacy for better implementation of the Biodiversity Act, 2002. Specifically, LIFE's legal research has been used in a petition in the National Green Tribunal (C.B. Singh vs. Union of India and Ors.), which specifically looks at the status of functioning of the SBBs and BMCs.
The NGT in this case in a significant order dated 08.08.2018 took note of the compliance status that even after 15 years of the BD Act, the constitution of BMCs stands at 34% (BMCs have been constituted at 73,367 out of 2, 15, 000 local bodies), compliance with respect to PBR preparation stands at 8.37% (PBRs have been prepared for 6146 out of 73367 BMCs), BMCs from only 2 states have collected fees and the State Government have largely failed to provide grants. The NGT after recording the above findings directed that BMCs and PBRs be prepared within 6 months and that NBA and MOEF shall ensure compliance with Tribunal's orders. The Tribunal further directed the respective State Governments to produce monthly monitoring reports to the NBA.
To better understand the working and functioning of BMCs, LIFE had undertaken field visits to three biodiversity rich states of India: Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh. The visit entailed meeting important stakeholders: Government officials, Local civil society organizations and local communities.
LIFEs field visit experience from the states revealed one general finding that though the local communities are committed towards conserving their forests and biodiversity, still the extent of legal awareness was missing. Though BMCs had been formed, they were not given the much training with respect to their roles, responsibilities as expressed in the legislation. Targeting this gap, LIFE had conducted three Training Workshops each in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh in collaboration with the respective State Boards and local NGOs. The workshops highlighted the provisions of the Act, the need to strengthen constitution of BMCs at the gram panchayat level, ensuring their proper working and functioning, raising awareness among them with respect to their powers, roles and responsibilities and building their capacities to generate their own finances, challenges with respect to biodiversity conservation as posed by illegal trade in medicinal plants in the state, the need to change local farming system by re-introducing the traditional varieties of food crops.
Through LIFE's in depth research, it has come out with the following policy papers for its advocacy towards strengthening the Biodiversity authorities and for circulation among audience at large. These policy papers focus on the following provisions of the Biodiversity Act: Biodiversity Management Committees, People's Biodiversity Registers, Access and Benefit Sharing and Biodiversity Heritage Sites. These Policy Briefs and Report on Training Workshops can be found in the Publications Section.

Gregori Chmara
The actor Gregori Chmara (some sources say he was born in 1882 or 1886) began his acting career in 1910 at the Moscow Art theater where he already impersonate leading roles two years later.
He also made his film debut in Russia with "Sverchok na pechi" (15), it followed "Koroleva ekrana" (16) and "Burei zhizni smyatye" (18).
After the Russian revolution Gregori Chmara went to Germany where he first appeared as a singer together with his guitar. Finally he met the actress legend Asta Nielsen and they fell in love. They lived together for several years but never got married.
Asta Nielsen paved the way for him to the German film business and they acted together in "Der Absturz" (23). They worked together for eight movies, among them "I.N.R.I" (23), in which Gregori Chmara impersonated the role of Jesus, "Die Schmetterlingsschlacht" (24), "Hedda Gabler" (25) and "Die freudlose Gasse" (25).
Although without Asta Nielsen he was able to achive huge accesses, especially with the title role in "Raskolnikow" (23).
At the end of the 20's came only few more silent movies into being like "Frauenraub in Marokko" (28) and "Dornenweg einer Fürstin" (28) as Rasputin.
In the 30s he extended his career to the international environment and he took part in movies in Poland and France besides Germany.
To his well-known movies at the beginning of the 30s belong "L'homme qui assassina" (30), "Der Mann, der den Mord beging" (31), "Der Schlemihl" (31), "Peter Voss, der Millionendieb" (32), "Mensch ohne Namen" (32) and "Der Orlow/Der Diamant des Zaren" (32).
During a stage tour he met the actress Lila Kedrova and he remained in France. Because of his lack of French language he could not gain a foothold in the film business at first but appeared again as a singer in cabarets like in earlier years.
After an appearance in the production "Späte Liebe" (43) he appeared in numerous movies after the war but his roles still were reduced to support roles.

Drama: The Beauty or the Beast / Kiss? or Fight?
This drama pits two protagonists against each other. On the one hand there's Makoto, a woman who believes that the TV program is a product and that viewer ratings are the proceeds, and who believes any method is fair in getting those ratings. On the other hand there's Hiromi, a flashy sort of guy who claims that life is to enjoy and boasts that the program is simply a tool in that process. He loves wine, women and gambling. Such a pair is bound to mix like oil and water, but following a fateful reunion, they come to understand each other in the midst of confrontation.
hntr Sep 16 2014 3:05 pm Tear-jerking when it came to the last episode (sorry for being too much). I;m doubtless for Nanako's acting, she was cheerul teache on GTO yet she's so serious here.

What Partners Are Saying About the All of Us Research Program
"The All of Us Research Program is an opportunity for individuals from all walks of life to be represented in research and pioneer the next era of medicine. The time is now to transform how we conduct research—with participants as partners—to shed new light on how to stay healthy and manage disease in more personalized ways. This is what we can accomplish through All of Us."
–Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Institutes of Health
"All of us are unique, but today we live mostly in an era of 'one-size-fits-all' medicine. I'm alive today because of precision medicine, and I think everyone deserves that same opportunity no matter the color of your skin, your economic status, your age or sex or gender. In other words, it will truly take all of us."
–Eric Dishman, director of the All of Us Research Program, NIH
"Participant input is vital to the success of our program, and we are intentionally integrating participants into our efforts, from our governance to our scientific planning."
–Dara Richardson-Heron, M.D., chief engagement officer of the All of Us Research Program, NIH
"As we start thinking about this in the context of building trust, I think we get back that trust by involving the community. We're going to do things with you and in fact allow that information to be accessible to you."
–Robert Winn, M.D., associate vice chancellor for community-based practice, University of Illinois at Chicago, director, University of Illinois Cancer Center, and co-principal investigator of the Illinois Precision Medicine Consortium
"It's one of the largest longitudinal studies ever undertaken. It is ambitious, it is multifaceted, and it is incorporating people from across the nation. It's amazing seeing the number of people from everywhere across the country coming together with ideas representing their communities, representing the people in their neighborhoods, and having a voice, and then reflecting that into the program."
–Shenela Lakhani, program manager and lead genetic counselor, Center for Neurogenetics at Weill Cornell Medicine
"A lot of the research that we have to date has not been generally inclusive of a variety of groups. And so there are a number of gaps in our understanding of risk factors, treatment responses, or the best approaches for specific populations. As the diversity of the population of the United States continues to increase, our assumptions about what may work for the general population become more and more challenged."
–Francisco Moreno, M.D., associate vice president for diversity and inclusion, University of Arizona Health Sciences
"America is a diverse community, a group of people from different backgrounds, different races and ethnicities, different gender identities, and different ability levels, from all walks of life. So we should have health care that's tailored to individuals based on who they are—not based on select people because they were the ones who were first in line. We have to figure out what works for all of our people, and that's why we need a diverse group of people to participate in the All of Us Research Program."
–Brian Ahmedani, Ph.D., director of psychiatry research and research scientist at Henry Ford Health System, and co-principal investigator of the Trans-American Consortium for the Health Care Systems Research Network
"We're working really hard to make sure that we design a research program that's inclusive of all of the people who live in the United States, because we want the benefits of the research that's being done to flow back to every community within the United States."
–Megan Doerr, principal scientist, Sage Bionetworks
"What makes an individual unique is a combination of so many things. Certainly a person's genome—his or her genetic ancestry—is critically important, but there is much more, including environmental exposures, cultural issues, personal experience, and many other factors. Together these create a whole much greater than the sum of the individual parts. Now, for the first time, we have the ability to put this all together, and in my mind that's what All of Us is all about—not looking at any one factor, but rather integrating multiple sources of information to paint a larger picture that will vastly increase our understanding of individual health."
–Bruce Korf, M.D., Ph.D., chief genomics officer, University of Alabama at Birmingham's School of Medicine, and principal investigator of the Southern All of Us Network
"With all of the information that we're going to garner from this study, it is going to help with prevention. Prevention is really the key to longevity."
–Lynda Jackson-Assad, M.D., director of pediatrics, Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center
"The All of Us Research Program will help democratize the research enterprise by involving more researchers and participants, including those living beyond the reach of academic medical centers."
–Eric Topol, M.D., executive vice president, The Scripps Research Institute, and principal investigator of the All of Us Participant Center
"With a local community presence throughout the country, including medically underserved areas, Walgreens works to improve the health of millions of people every day, representing a cross section of all Americans. Now, through the All of Us Research Program, we can offer people of diverse backgrounds a chance to volunteer in research that may improve the future health of all Americans. Our local community presence and our trusted relationship with our customers and pharmacy patients make us well-suited to help this effort."
–Pat Carroll, M.D., chief medical officer, Walgreens Healthcare Clinics
"The All of Us Research Program has the potential to greatly enhance how we improve health and treat disease, supporting research studies that may help our medical community get the right treatments to the right people at the right time. I'm most enthusiastic about the collaborative aspect of the program, with so many local and national partners coming together to accelerate medical discoveries to try to give people the quality of life we all desire and deserve."
–David Wellis, Ph.D., chief executive officer, San Diego Blood Bank
"There's a fairly standard pattern for how people work with data, which arose in the old days, and that is, if you want to work with data, you download a copy and work on it on your local computer. That's fine for small amounts of data. But as the amount of biomedical data in the world grows, that pattern doesn't work anymore. It means that you're copying data every time you want to work with it, and the data lives in many places—which makes it harder to monitor and control what happens to it, and harder to collaborate. So we are taking a very different approach: instead of bringing the data to the researchers, we want to bring the researchers to the data. That's a fundamentally different approach with a huge number of advantages, and it means we don't just do things the way they've been done before."
–David Glazer, engineering director, Verily
"We know that ensuring participant privacy is job one, and we're doing everything possible to secure participants' information. While no company, non-profit, or agency can ever guarantee with 100 percent confidence that data breaches will never happen, we are taking every measure to avoid such an incident and will respond quickly and transparently if that should occur."
–Josh Denny, M.D., professor of biomedical informatics and medicine and vice president for personalized medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and principal investigator of the All of Us Data and Research Center
"The ultimate goal of the All of Us Research Program is to collect information to lead to incredible discoveries in biomedical research and precision medicine, but along the way, we are going to transform lives. We are going to provide opportunities for people that historically have not had the opportunity to participate in research, and I think that's a really important part of the program, and something that I feel really honored to get to be a part of."
–Amy Taylor, regional vice president, Community Health Center, Inc.

On Thursday, July 9th, we heard the University's opening wage and health insurance proposals. Go to http://afscme3800.org/negotiations-2015-updates for a video update on the second round of negotiations and copies of proposals.
Our negotiating committee told the administration's committee what our priorities are, but it's important that the administration hear from clerical workers in all areas of the University. If you think the 0.25% across the board increase is unacceptable, please add your name to an email petition calling upon the administration to show respect for frontline staff and provide real raises. We are back in bargaining on Tuesday afternoon, so please sign your name today.
Our webpage also includes an info flyer showing the disparities in pay and benefits between management and front-line staff at the U. Please download the flyer, post it in your work area, and share with your coworkers.
The administration continues to state that they are including our step increase, which we receive on our anniversary dates and which average 2%, into their budget formulations for raises. However, they do not include the significantly greater pension contributions for P&A employees into their budget formulations. P&A employees receive 10-13% biweekly contributions for their pensions (calculated at their much higher salaries), while unionized and civil service workers receive 5.5% employer contributions. The administration says it's only fair to take step increases into account when considering raises, but then refuses to take pension contributions into account. This is just one more example of the University administration creating two Universities - one where those at the top move further ahead, while those at the middle and bottom fall further behind.
When will clerical workers get raises?
AFSCME members receive two types of salary increases: an automatic step increase and the negotiated Across the Board increase. The step increase for clerical workers is a 2% increase that is received automatically on your anniversary date until you reach the top of the pay scale. The intention of the step increase is to recognize and reward workers for the increased skills and ability you develop each year on the job. Steps are contractually guaranteed and will continue to be paid while negotiations take place. If you do not receive your step on your anniversary date, please let us know.
Unionized workers negotiate the amount of our Across the Board raises (or general increase), rather than having raises determined and imposed from above (which is what happens with faculty, P&A and Civil Service staff). The upside of this is that we can and do push for more than what is merely budgeted. The challenge is that the U generally won't even talk about wages until the state allocation has been determined and the budget has been ratified by the Board of Regents (which takes place in June). Negotiations began in June, and we didn't receive the University's opening wage and insurance proposals until July 9. We are scheduled to return to the table on Tuesday, July 21; we have bargaining dates scheduled through August and are currently working to schedule dates for September. Contract negotiations have typically culminated in late September or October.
We will receive our general (or Across the Board) wage increases once our new contract has been fully negotiated and voted on by our membership. Raises will then be retroactive to the beginning data of the contract (July 1). Once the contract has been agreed upon by our members and the Board of Regents, people will receive back-pay for the salary increases from July 1 to whatever the ratification date is.


We hear it all the time. Investors invest in people, not products or ideas. Marty Zwilling, a veteran start-up mentor, describes people as the great competitive advantage. I wonder what the non-profit world might learn from people like him?
The vast majority, if not all, non-profit foundations and donors are project-focused. In contrast to many angel and traditional investors, they're primarily interested in the products and ideas. It doesn't matter too much who has them, as the hundreds of online development competitions and challenges testify. These investments in products and ideas, however helpful and generous they may be, almost always miss one key thing – investment in the person.
I've long been an admirer of the MacArthur Foundation. They were first out of the traps when FrontlineSMS began to get serious traction in 2007, and became its first donor later that summer. And yes, they invested in the product. For others not so lucky to get funding from them, MacArthur are better known for their Fellows Program, or "MacArthur Genius grants".
Each year, the Foundation names around twenty-five Fellows who receive a no-strings-attached gift of $625,000 paid over five years. Crucially, the Fellowship is not a reward for past accomplishment, but an investment in a person's originality, insight, and future potential. What it does, in many cases, is free up the individual financially – pays off a mortgage, covers school fees, living expenses and so on – giving the Fellow total freedom to take risks, be bold, and to pursue their dreams and future work without limitation.
In short, the purpose of the Program is to "enable recipients to exercise their own creative instincts for the benefit of human society".
MacArthur Fellows are a broad-based bunch. In 2014 they added a physicist, a cartoonist and graphic memoirist, a lawyer, a composer, an engineer, a saxophonist and a poet among others to their cohort. It's the breadth of the award, the many different disciplines it touches, which makes the Program so inspiring and effective. The only restriction is that all Fellows need to be residents or citizens of the United States.
I can't help but wonder what the non-profit sector might achieve with a similar approach. Imagine if a large, private Foundation picked half-a-dozen people working in global development – people with a track record of vision, thought-leadership and execution working and living anywhere in the world – and supported them in a similar way? Imagine being able to free up some of the greatest minds – conventional and unconventional – to imagine and deliver their own vision of development into the future? Freeing them up financially would, in the same way as the MacArthur Fellowship, allow them to be bold and brave with their ideas, and in the same way "enable recipients to exercise their own creative instincts for the benefit of human society". Isn't benefiting human society, in essence, what the non-profit world is all about?
A Program like this could have significant impact, and the costs would be minimal in the grand scheme of things. It could unleash projects, products and ideas – which might not have materialised otherwise – from people who have already shown they can deliver. And it would give a clear signal that people matter, and acknowledge that people drive change, not ideas.
In the mobile world we talk a lot about project sustainability, but little about human sustainability. If we're to have any chance of ongoing success then we need to attract the brightest young minds to the "mobile for development" field, and then give them all the support they need to keep them there.
A private Foundation, or group of Foundations, should find it easy enough to pool a few million dollars each year to develop a "Global Development Fellows Program" to support a dozen or so of the best leaders and thinkers in the field. I know from my own experience, as I transition from a relatively 'free' period in my professional life to one where my priorities now lie much closer to home, how much a Program like this would positively impact my ability to continue to push the boundaries in my own work.
Things may be a little too late for me, assuming I was ever considered worthy enough for such an award, but it would be my hope that it won't be too late for others. I already see many talented people 'selling out', moving into the corporate world or finding a changing 'work/life' balance a challenge.
Global development can't afford to keep losing people like this. If it really does want to be seen to be innovative, and really is serious about tackling some of the biggest problems facing the planet today, recognising the need to do a little more "investing in people" – and then doing it – would be the best signal yet.

Unity Software Additional Terms
(Unity Pro, Unity Plus and Unity Personal)
Last Updated January 16, 2019. Applies to Unity 2018.3 and later versions, subject to Section 8 below.
Your use of the Unity Software is subject to these Additional Terms (the "Software Terms"), which supplement and are incorporated into the Unity Terms of Service. By downloading, installing or using the Unity Software in any manner, you represent and affirm that you have read, understand and agree to be legally bound by and comply with these Software Terms. If you do not agree with these Software Terms, you are not authorized to use the Unity Software in any manner.
Tier Eligibility
You and everyone using the Unity Software on your behalf must be Tier Eligible at all times. "Tier Eligible" means that your Total Finances cannot exceed the defined Financial Thresholds for the tier of Unity Software you (or those providing services to you) are using. Tier Eligibility is measured for the most recent twelve (12) month period. If you are mid-project, and your Total Finances grow to exceed the Financial Threshold of the Unity Software tier you are using, you do not need to start from scratch - you can simply upgrade your license and continue working. How we measure your Total Finances varies based on who you are. Financial Thresholds are shown in US currency and your Total Finances will be converted to US currency to determine your Tier Eligibility.
Total Finances are measured like this:
if you are a Legal Entity using the Unity Software (other than to provide services to someone else), your Total Finances are your gross revenues and/or funding (no matter what the source), or, if you are a Not-for-Profit Entity, your budget for the entire entity (not just the department using the Software),
If you are an individual or a Legal Entity providing services to a third party, your Total Finances is deemed to be your customer or client's Total Finances, and
if you are an individual using the Unity Software, but not providing services to a third party, your Total Finances are the amount generated in connection with your use of the Unity Software. In this case, your Total Finances would not include amounts you generate from other work (for example, if your day job is as a zookeeper).
By using the Unity Software, you represent and warrant that you are Tier Eligible to use the tier of Unity Software you are using and those being used on your behalf. You understand that it is your responsibility to maintain complete records establishing your Tier Eligibility and you bear the burden of proving your Tier Eligibility if we ask.
Financial Thresholds for Unity Personal, Unity Plus and Unity Pro:
The Financial Threshold for Unity Personal is US $100,000 for the most recent twelve (12) month period. To be Tier Eligible to use Unity Personal, your Total Finances may not exceed US $100,000. If your Total Finances exceed US $100,000 you may not use Unity Personal at all, even for internal projects or prototyping.
The Financial Threshold for Unity Plus is US $ 199,000 for the most recent twelve (12) month period. To be Tier Eligible to use Unity Plus, your Total Finances may not exceed US $199,000. If your Total Finances exceed $199,000, you may only use Unity Pro.
There is no Financial Threshold for Unity Pro. You do not need to be Tier Eligible to use Unity Pro; Unity Pro may be used by anyone who pays the applicable subscription fees.
No Mixing or Co-mingling:
Unity Software tiers with different Financial Thresholds may not be used at the same time by one entity or individual or for or on behalf of one entity or individual. You must upgrade all licenses if your Total Finances exceed a Financial Threshold. Unity reserves the right to disable your use of the Unity Software if you attempt to use two tiers simultaneously. If you are using Unity Pro and want to provide services to a customer or client who is Tier Eligible to use Unity Plus, contact us and we will give you an exception.
Unity may monitor your compliance with and enforce these restrictions and requirements, including but not limited to monitoring the number of downloads of your Project Content, and any available revenue estimate data.
Unity Personal users may be required to complete a user survey in order to activate the Unity Software.
1. Rights to use the Unity Software.
1.1 Use Rights.
Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and payment of all applicable subscription fees, Unity grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license: (a) to install and execute the executable form of the authoring environment provided by the Unity Software (the "Unity Editor"), solely for internal use by a single person to develop your Project Content during the applicable term (this license is called the "Unity Editor License"); and (b) if you are using a version of the Unity Software other than an educational version, to distribute the runtime portion of the Unity Software intended for distribution as an integrated part of your Project Content (the "Unity Runtime"), solely as embedded or incorporated into your Project Content, solely to third parties to whom you license or sell your Project Content or who provide you with Third Party Services, in each case pursuant to an agreement that is no less protective of Unity and its licensors than this Agreement (the "Unity Runtime License"). If you are a Legal Entity, you may allow affiliated entities or third party contractors who are testing, developing and operating your Project Content on your behalf (each, a "Designated User"), to exercise your rights under 1.1(a) (Unity Editor License) and 1.1(b) (Unity Runtime License) on your behalf. You may allow distributors who are licensing or selling your Project Content and Third Party Service providers providing you a Third Party Service to exercise your rights under 1.1(b) (Unity Runtime License) on your behalf. In all cases you remain responsible for your distributor's, Third Party Service provider's and Designated Users' compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement or any breach thereof. All use of the Unity Software, including any third party exercise of your rights under this paragraph, is subject to this Agreement, including any restrictions set forth below, and you may not otherwise allow third parties to use the rights granted in this Agreement.
1.2 Copies of Unity Products.
You (and your Designated Users) may install the Unity Editor on both a primary and a secondary computer or operating system, solely for your convenience, but only for use by a single person. You may make a single copy of the Unity Editor solely for backup or archival purposes. For the sake of clarity, you (or your Designated User) may only use one installation at any given time. Unity may in its sole discretion authorize you to install the Unity Editor on additional computers or operating systems upon deactivation of the Unity Editor installed on existing computers. For clarity, in no event may Third Party Service providers directly or indirectly distribute, run or use the Unity Editor so that it is executed on or simulated by the cloud or a remote server and transmitted over the Internet or other network except where they are acting on your behalf as a Designated User in accordance with this Section 1.2.
1.3 Unity Console Add-on Developer Requirements.
Use of the Unity Software with certain console platforms is subject to the Unity Console Add-on Developer Requirements as set forth on the Unity website. The license keys to enable certain Unity Software console add-ons may be distributed by the console manufacturer.
1.4 Third Party Software.
The Unity Software incorporates or is bundled with Third Party Software governed by separate terms, including open source licenses. Such Third Party Software terms are identified in the LEGAL.TXT file bundled with the Unity Software and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. You agree that you have reviewed and accepted those terms and that your use of the Unity Software will be deemed acceptance thereof.
2. Restrictions.
2.1 Unity Software Tier Restrictions.
You acknowledge and agree that, as an express condition to the rights granted under Section 1, you (and those using the Unity Software on your behalf or in order to provide services to you): (i) may only use one (1) Unity Software tier at a time (e.g., if you purchase a subscription to use Unity Pro, then you and those working on your behalf may only use Unity Pro licenses on your behalf); and (ii) are not permitted to combine or integrate any of your Project Content developed with one tier of the Unity Software with any of your Project Content developed simultaneously with another tier. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) if you are Tier Eligible to use Unity Personal, you may commence a project using only Unity Personal and subsequently upgrade all (but not less than all) of your seats to Unity Plus (if you are Tier Eligible to do so) or Unity Pro; and (b) any user of the Unity Software may use content properly acquired from the Unity Asset Store regardless of the tier of Unity Software that was used to develop such Asset Store content. You acknowledge and agree that Unity may tag your Project Content with an identifier to prevent any such unauthorized combination of your Project Content.
2.2 Educational Product Restrictions.
If you are using an educational version of the Unity Software, your right to use the Unity Editor and distribute the Unity Runtime in your Project Content is limited to educational, non-commercial purposes. Unity may include a watermark designating that your Project Content was created using the education version of the Unity Software.
2.3 Embedded Software Restriction.
You may not directly or indirectly distribute your Project Content installed on more than 1,000 electronic devices or systems if your Project Content provides the user interface or primary functionality of such electronic device or system without a separate license from Unity. This restriction does not prevent you from distributing your Project Content pre-installed on personal computers and consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions or set top boxes as long as your Project Content does not provide the user interface or primary functionality of such device.
2.4 Working with Third Party Service Providers.
Unity developers are free to use any service offered to Unity developers (each, a "Third Party Service"). Unity does not have any obligation to provide support for any Third Party Service provider or Third Party Service under this Agreement.
Third Party Service providers may not, without Unity's express written permission: (1) use a stylized version of any Unity name, trademark, logos, images or product icons, or other Unity-owned graphic symbols; (2) use a product name confusingly similar to a Unity product or that could be construed by Unity developers as being a Unity product or service; or (3) create or use any marketing materials that suggest an affiliation with, or endorsement by, Unity. All use of Unity's trademarks must comply with Unity's Trademark Guidelines.
2.5 Gambling Restriction.
You may not develop, distribute or publish any of your Project Content in connection with any Gambling Activities without a separate license agreement from Unity.
2.6 General Restrictions.
Except as expressly specified in this Agreement, you may not: (a) copy (except in the course of loading or installing) or modify or create derivative works of the Unity Software; (b) distribute, transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise provide access to the Unity Software to any third party; (c) directly or indirectly make the functionality of the Unity Software available to multiple users or third parties through any means, including but not limited to by uploading the Unity Software to a network or file-sharing service or through any hosting, application services provider, service bureau, software-as-a-service (SaaS) or any other technology or service; (d) use the Unity Software for competitive analysis or to develop a competing product or service; or (e) do anything that could cause or result in the Unity Software (including the runtime portion thereof) being subject to any open source license (or similar license) that requires as a condition of use, modification or distribution that the Unity Software (including the runtime portion thereof) or other software combined or distributed with the Unity Software be: (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (iii) redistributable at no charge. You acknowledge and agree that portions of the Unity Software, including but not limited to the source code and the specific design and structure of individual modules or programs, are confidential and constitute or contain trade secrets of Unity and its licensors. Accordingly, you agree not to disassemble, decompile, modify or reverse engineer the Unity Software, in whole or in part, or permit or authorize a third party to do so, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by this Agreement or by law notwithstanding this prohibition. Notwithstanding the restriction prohibiting decompiling in the immediately preceding sentence, you may decompile the Unity Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) assemblies solely to inspect their functionality for purposes of understanding or improving performance of your Project Content or any editor extension to the Unity Software.
3. Consent to Data Collection; Privacy Policy Obligations.
3.1 Data Collection
You acknowledge and accept Unity's privacy policy. You agree that the Unity Software (including the Unity runtime in your Project Content) may send data to Unity to: (a) check for Unity Software updates; (b) provide aggregated usage statistics of your use of the Unity Software and the use of your Project Content by end users; (c) provide optional Developer Services; and (d) validate seats in order to prevent unauthorized use. You acknowledge and agree that Unity may deliver messages and contact you about the Unity Software and other Unity product and service offerings.
3.2 Obligations
You agree, and will ensure by obtaining all required consents in accordance with applicable law, that Unity has the right to receive, collect, retain and use data collected from your end users in accordance with Unity's privacy policy, which may be updated from time to time.
4. Support.
You may access the online forums and the Unity Answers knowledge base through the Site. You may also email support@unity3d.com for assistance with your seats. Technical support may be offered by Unity at its sole discretion as described on the Unity website.

5. Term.
Subscription based seats for Unity Pro and Unity Plus will remain in effect for the initial subscription period (which has a minimum commitment of 12 months), and thereafter such seat will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the then-current list price, unless you renew the subscription for a new subscription term or terminate and cancel it as described on the Site. For clarity, subscription based seats for Unity Pro and Unity Plus are not cancelable during the applicable subscription term and are non-refundable. Upon termination, you must at Unity's option either promptly delete and destroy or return to Unity all copies of the Unity Software in your possession or control.
