Mine – A review
28th May 2016 28th May 2016 Annie Hayter
Polly's Teale's poignant drama Mine is very much a play for today: not least because of its exploration of the pressures of modern motherhood, and its emphasis on middleclass guilt. It shows the breakdown of relationships in a society so preoccupied by smart phones and emails, that characters often do not listen to each other, moving on to the next phone call or text in quick succession, avoiding real contact. The director, Harriet Astbury said that in her production, she wanted to 'create the mess that is our everyday lives. We live at once in so many different realities; what, from when we were small, we had always imagined our lives to be like, to what we hope it might turn out to be, to what we fear it is'. The simple sophistication of the set which depicts their home serves as a perfect contrast for their break down; a single window suspended from the ceiling, a dining room table, and a doll's house. Woman (Jenna Noronha), and her partner Man (Jack Murphy), appear to be living the dream; she, working as a popular television presenter and he as an architect respectively, live in a gorgeous house (with a pool and a gate code no less), and hold dinner parties for millionaire clients. But they feel they are lacking one thing- a child. From the first scene, we are thrown in the middle of the action, beginning when Man tells Woman that the social services have given them chance to foster a three week old baby, who has been removed from her mother Rose (Frankie Budd), who is a sex-worker and drug addict. If all goes well, they will adopt the baby.
But this joyful moment, the one they've been waiting for for years, is tainted from the moment it begins. When Man is trying to tell Woman this news, she is simultaneously talking on the phone, and isn't listening to him. These cracks in their façade of perfection steadily widen, throughout the piece, the couple communicate with each other between telephone conversations with other people, and talk at cross purposes. They can barely make eye contact, and their lack of real intimacy is brought to the fore- they are both losing control over a situation that was ostensibly their dream. Woman, despite her high flying career, is floundering, trapped in a prison of expectation- the compulsion to be a perfect mother. Jenna Noronha is likeable as Woman, and captures her vulnerability- we really feel for her situation, even in her moments of deepest self-obsession. There's one superbly delivered scene where she describes waking up to the baby screaming one night and she just starts shouting back, like a child. There could have been more done to emphasise the wealth of the two characters- they were wearing quite ordinary clothes which didn't really capture the sophistication and affluence that their speech kept referring too- 'the cashmere jumper and fuck off rolexes' weren't on display- something particularly emphasised by how smartly dressed their social worker was in comparison.
Any assumptions we might have had about their potential superiority as parents are further collapsed when we finally meet Rose, the birth mother played beautifully by Frankie Budd. Understandably spikey and upset, the tenderness Rose shows towards her daughter feels incredibly real; even though the child is represented by a plastic baby, you stop noticing; it almost comes to life with Budd's convincing affection. Budd's adoring description about her baby's 'weird toes' and 'hairy back' is heart-breaking; you feel your judgement turned inwards. We are left questioning if the baby could have had an equally happy life, if she had lived with her birth mother, and what exactly makes a 'good' mum or dad. This play articulates frustrations at a system that chooses to take these children away, rather than help their birth parents cope better. Woman has conflicting feelings about the baby, for all her love and care of it, she realises she lacks the maternal intuition that Rose clearly has- Rose who during her abused childhood was forced to care for her siblings. We see a devastating insight into Woman's past, when we see her interactions with her own mother (played by Megan Burnside), who also struggled with her children, and see how past abuse, emotional or physical, gone unchecked can spawn other abuse through the generations. With the majority of characters not given traditional names- referred to as 'Woman' or 'Sister'- the characters act as a symbol for any person struggling with parenthood.
The strength of this production lies in some excellent acting, and in its stress on a need for a less judgemental society, and one that is active and listening, with its phone on silent, and its preconceptions reserved. At an hour and a half long, this production is only a snapshot into feelings of societal pressure and inadequacy as a parent, but it's a beautifully crafted one, and contains some truly touching moments.
Mine will be performed in the Michael Pilch studio from the 25th-28th May, tickets are available here.

Georgia: What to expect on election night
A fiercely competitive Senate runoff in Georgia has national implications as Democrats try to solidify their hold on the upper chamber of Congress. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is trying to win a full Senate term against Republican challenger Herschel Walker. Warnock got over 37,000 more votes than Walker in the Nov. 8 election, out of nearly 4 million votes counted. However, Warnock fell just shy of a majority, requiring Tuesday's runoff.
Warnock was first elected to the Senate in a runoff special election in January 2021 — two months after the 2020 general election. Unlike in 2020, this year's Georgia runoff won't decide which party controls the Senate. Democrats already have a 50-49 seat edge, giving them control of the chamber with Vice President Kamala Harris able to break any ties.
Another big change from 2020 is the compressed schedule, with this year's runoff election coming just four weeks after the general election thanks to Georgia's new election law. In 2020, the runoff was two months after the general election.
Here's a look at what to expect on election night:
Polls close at 7 p.m. ET.
HOW GEORGIA VOTES
Voters in Georgia can cast a ballot one of three ways: by mail, in person during early voting and in person on Election Day. Mail ballots can be requested by any registered voter in Georgia without needing to provide an excuse. Completed domestic ballots must arrive at county election offices by Election Day to be counted. Early in-person voting runs through Friday.
The state Supreme Court allowed counties to hold early voting the Saturday after Thanksgiving, rejecting arguments from the state and Republican groups that Georgia election law does not allow early in-person voting on a Saturday if the Thursday or Friday preceding it is a holiday.
The court agreed with Warnock's campaign and Democratic groups who said that the prohibition applies only to primaries and general elections, not runoff elections.
DECISION NOTES
The AP does not make projections and will only declare a winner when it's determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap.
Should a candidate declare victory or offer a concession before the AP calls a race, we will cover newsworthy developments in our reporting. In doing so, we will make clear that AP has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
The AP may call a race in which the margin between the top two candidates is 0.5% or less, if we determine the lead is too large for a recount to change the outcome. In Georgia, a candidate can request a recount if the margin is 0.5% or less.
Q: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THE GENERAL ELECTION?
A: Warnock finished with 49.4% of the vote in the Nov. 8 election, compared to 48.5% for Walker. Warnock beat Walker by 10 percentage points among votes cast before Election Day, both by mail and in person. Walker won the Election Day vote by 15 percentage points, but only 36% of voters cast their ballots on Nov. 8.
The share of voters casting ballots before Election Day is almost certain to be smaller in the runoff because of the new law shortening the time between the general election and the runoff.
Q: WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE THE PANDEMIC ELECTION OF 2020?
A: Georgia Republicans pushed through a sweeping new voting law in 2021 that has made it harder to vote by absentee ballot, leading Democrats to push people to vote early at polling places instead. The state also rolled back its pandemic-inspired drop boxes, limiting counties to a smaller number and requiring them to be available only inside buildings during business hours.
The state has also reduced the use of provisional ballots for people who show up to vote at the wrong polling place and has reinforced the ability to challenge voter qualifications.
Q: WHAT DO TURNOUT AND ADVANCE VOTE LOOK LIKE?
A: Georgia has more than 7.8 million registered voters. As of Dec. 2, more than 1.4 million people had cast early votes by mail or in person, far below the 2.3 million people who had voted as of six days before the Nov. 8 election.
Q: HOW LONG DOES COUNTING USUALLY TAKE?
A: For the Nov. 8 general election, Georgia counted 99% of votes by 2 a.m. the day after the election. Almost all votes were counted by noon on Wednesday.
Q: WHAT ARE THE PITFALLS WITH EARLY RETURNS?
A: Democratic votes are concentrated in the state's main urban areas, especially in and around Atlanta. Those counties are also the state's most populous, and vote counting typically takes longer than in smaller rural districts throughout the state that are dominated by Republicans.
In the Nov. 8 election, many counties released the results of advance votes first, giving Warnock an early 14-point lead. As more Election Day votes were counted in the state's rural areas, Warnock's lead evaporated and Walker took a 1-point lead around 10 p.m. ET. Warnock regained the lead a few hours later as more votes from in and around Atlanta were counted.

Global appointment reflects William Buck's commitment to Asia Pacific region
By William Buck
Ruby Cheung, Director at William Buck has been elected Chair of the Praxity Alliance's Asia Pacific Region.
Welcoming Ruby to the role, Graeme Gordon, Chief Executive of Praxity (the world's sixth largest accounting alliance) said "Ruby's distinguished 20-year career specialising in Asia Pacific business development, and international in-bound and outbound investment adds an increased level of depth and strength across a region that is pivotal to our success."
Asia Pacific nations account for almost a third of global GDP and by 2030, the region is expected to overtake the GDP of the rest of the world combined, contributing to 60% of global growth.
In response, Praxity's presence in the region has more than doubled over the last five years and now accounts for more than 14% of the alliance's overall revenue.
Ruby's appointment to Chair of the region represents Australia's strategic importance on the world stage.
"Australia has strong trade ties with the rest of the world and their location has allowed them to become a major supplier to markets in Asia Pacific, "Graeme said.
With less barriers to trade and fewer tariffs, there's a lot of opportunity for Australian businesses across Asia. In taking up her position, Ruby said "The new provisions on intellectual property, telecommunications, financial services, e-commerce and professional services will provide additional benefits for economic and trade growth.
"Being part of the Praxity Alliance and now appointed as Chair of their Asia Pacific Region, increases our potential to help clients with cross-border transactions. We can continue to share valuable resources such as the Praxity M&A Hub, a global list of buyers and sellers."
Nick Hatzistergos, Chairman of William Buck said "Ruby has tremendous trade experience. Her understanding of the emerging markets and her strong relationships with our international peers, like Praxity, will bring more value and opportunities to our clients."
"Asia Pacific is the epicentre for global market leaders – not only in the automotive and industrial sectors but also in areas such as technology and finance. With the region amongst the top destinations for venture capital, Ruby will help carve out strong, sustainable futures for businesses looking to operate internationally."
Ruby's appointment complement's William Buck's existing Asia Pacific service offering. Bringing together their capabilities, the team helps clients navigate the legal, trade and cultural nuances in a broad range of the region's markets.
About Asia Pacific Region
As a hub of world trade, the region is an important market for international companies. Asia Pacific is home to some of the world's largest companies and an engine room for innovative technology.
With a flourishing digital ecosystem and evolving free trade agreements, it makes up almost two thirds of our nation's two-way trade.
Last year, Australia was amongst 15 countries to sign the largest free-trade agreement in the world, The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). This covers nearly a third of the global economy.
A key COVID-19 measure announced by the Australian Government was the $500 million in funding to help businesses expand operations overseas and re-establish markets.

Some make it more challenging by making the switch from marketing desktop applications to relying on subscription sales of online products very quickly. Read how successful firms are making the switch.
Web design and editing have always been a problematic software category. When the World Wide Web debuted in 1990, it was largely a text-only system of document sharing using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
Change has finally come to the category of planning and budgeting software, resulting in a round of improved capabilities, tighter integration with other software, and another potential revenue stream for accountants who are able to act as master planners and budgeters.
Payroll is about much more than just paying employees. But the discussion about how to handle payroll used to be simpler: process payroll yourself or pay someone else to do it. Over the years, most companies added a "have-it-your way" approach in which companies could choose to split functions as they wished with outsources, sometimes on a client-by-client approach.

Those who have been around long enough probably remember it took tax and accounting firms a long time to move from DOS to Windows. After all, DOS-based products worked well for their businesses. The situation is similar with the move from desktop software to web-based applications—those well-used on-premise products are working very well. But clients are increasingly moving to the cloud and so are professionals. And while that transition is not as rapid as many would have anticipated, and software publishers would have liked, there is no doubt the direction is toward the cloud.

In the most recent episode, the family is on a ski vacation in Montana. It was a great trip, the usual drama but all in all, a good time. As they make their way down the mountain to head back to sunny skies; I think it was Kim, Kylie and Khloe was driving. It's rough terrain and poor weather. They slide on black ice and lose control of the vehicle. The fact that this was captured so vividly is another testament to my aforementioned claim of how amazing this show is but I digress.
The moment was incredibly scary. There's a link below. You can fast forward to the last 30 seconds or so but watching the entire video gives a bit of perspective.
After the accident, the camera pans to the car in a ditch, Kim crying and police lights. It was a dramatic scene. After the incident, Kim mentioned how grateful she was for her life, they all were. They stressed the importance of being appreciative.
As I watched this I can't help but think, how much like them, we often don't take the time to truly appreciate our life, our loved ones, even our health, until something bad happens or we no longer can.
Please don't think I'm pointing the finger because I am an offender too. Just last week, I went on a what my boyfriend would call a tamper tantrum about my life and how unfair this health thing is.
Yes, losing sight for those moments was incredibly scary but I got it back! I'm chronically ill but I am able. I'm ashamed to say that I lost sight of that, no pun intended. Just like them, it took something traumatic to truly appreciate.
We need to be consistently thankful, no matter circumstance. I know this won't prevent the bad from happening. But what it will do, is provide remarkable perspective.
Say one thing to yourself that you are thankful for after reading this post.

China Revises Foreign Investment Guidance Catalogue
On December 24, 2011, Chinese authorities released the revised foreign investment guidance catalogue, which came into effect on January 30, 2012, repealing the 2007 catalogue. The revisions implement the changing priorities of the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party in developing the Chinese economy, and directing foreign investment in China toward certain industries to meet these priorities. The revision of the catalogue, however, does not lessen the role of the Chinese government in the economy, or do anything to combat the lack of transparency in the foreign investment approval process that all foreign investment in China must undergo.
Background of the Foreign Investment Guidance Catalogues
On December 24, 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) promulgated the amended version of the Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue (2011 Catalogue), revising the 2007 catalogue, effective January 30, 2012. This is the fifth revision to the catalogue, which was first issued in 1995. (Previous amendments were made in 1997, 2002, 2004, and 2007.) Foreign investment in the PRC has always had to undergo a government approval process; for example, Article 3 of the 1979 Joint Venture Law called for examination and approval of investments in joint ventures. According to CECC staff analysis, the 1995 catalogue was an improvement in transparency, in that it provided written, publicly available guidance as to what industries were open to foreign investment. Each version of the catalogue includes three separate categories, also called catalogues, with detailed lists of industries in which foreign investment is encouraged, restricted, or forbidden. Investment in industries not listed is permitted. The catalogue, as its name makes clear, directs foreign investment in China. It is, as an article published by Wilmer Hale in January 2012 notes, "an instrument of industrial policy." In the catalogue, descriptions of industries can be fairly general, such as the "development and manufacture of software products" (encouraged category, Section 3(21)(xii)) or specific, such as "40Gbps and above time division multiplexing equipment (TDM) . . ." (encouraged category, Section 3(21)(xxviii)).
The Role of the Catalogue in the Government Approval Process
Revision of the catalogue reflects changing Chinese government priorities for foreign investment. However, the revision does nothing to change the underlying approval process that is required for all foreign investment, or for significant changes to established (and hence already approved) foreign investment enterprises, in China. The approval process is an important tool by which the government ensures that any foreign investment in China conforms to the catalogue's classification of the relevant industry and, consequently, government policy. This approval is discretionary, and the approval process itself typically is not transparent, complicating foreign investment and providing the Chinese government opportunity to retaliate against foreign investors which have raised the ire of authorities for some reason. As a February 2012 article in the Wall Street Journal notes, "So when a U.S. company goes to China to compete with a Chinese company, it often finds itself competing instead with the state. And it is the state that has the handy advantage of approving or rejecting the foreigner's investment...." The article continues, "U.S. companies won't talk on the record about troubles in China because they fear retaliation." The US-China Business Council's 2011 China Business Environment Survey found licensing and approval barriers to be the second most serious issue its member companies face in China, noting the linkage between this issue and transparency and national treatment, which are core WTO principles. The approval process is governed by a series of rules, such as the 2009 Circular on Further Improving the Examination and Approval of Foreign Investment (English version, subscription required, and Chinese version), the 2010 Circular on Issues Relevant to Delegation of the Examination and Approval Authority to Lower Levels (English version, subscription required, and Chinese version), and the 2011 Circular on Issues in the Administration of Foreign Investment.
The 2011 Catalogue and the 12th Five-Year Plan
The catalogue is the culmination of a series of policy documents, and outlines those industries China's state planners believe would benefit from foreign investment, those which state planners believe should be reserved for Chinese companies or shut down entirely, and those in which foreign investment is allowed, but subject to certain qualifications. The Chinese government's formulation of economic and foreign investment policies evolves over a fairly long period of time. On April 6, 2010, the State Council issued Several Opinions on Further Improving the Work of Using Foreign Investment (in Chinese), calling for revision of the catalogue to encourage foreign investment in "high-end manufacturing, high and new technology, modern services, alternative energy, and energy conservation and environmental protection sectors." These sectors overlap with the so-called "strategic emerging industries," championed in the 2010 State Council Decision Concerning Speeding up the Fostering of Strategic Emerging Industries, and subsequently promoted in the 12th Five-Year Plan, passed in March 2011. The revisions contained in the 2011 Catalogue highlight current Chinese government priorities. According to Wilmer Hale's analysis, the 2011 Catalogue emphasizes three key areas: (1) transforming China's manufacturing from traditional to high-end, (2) supporting development of the strategic emerging industries, and (3) promoting a modern services sector. Several additions to the encouraged section of the 2011 Catalogue cover the strategic emerging industries, as highlighted in Chapter 10 of the 12th Five-Year Plan, namely energy conservation and environmental protection, next generation IT, biological industry, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energies, new materials, and new energy cars. Examples include production of energy saving, environmentally friendly building materials (Section 3(14)(i)) and certain pollution control equipment (Sections 3(18)(lvi–lvix)). New services sectors in the encouraged category of the 2011 Catalogue include, for example, venture capital services (Section 7(4)) and intellectual property services (Section 7(5)). Chapter 15 of the 12th Five-Year Plan calls for the development of the services trade, including financial services (Chapter 15, Section 1) and intellectual property protection services (Chapter 15, Section 3).
Overall, this revision of the catalogue tweaks the previous version. Like earlier versions, it is premised upon the important role of the Chinese government in directing economic development and ensuring that foreign investment furthers government goals. The revisions do nothing to change the investment structure or regime. Rather, the revisions merely reflect policymakers' decisions as to where foreign investment should be allowed to ensure that foreign investment serves to assist Chinese development as directed in the 12th Five-Year Plan, while ensuring government control over foreign investors and their investments.
For additional information on the regulation of foreign investment in China, see pages 177 to 178 of the Commission's 2011 Annual Report.

"I probably on annoying. But i think they just lack so much physicality on that team that you know. They're not built for the playoffs. They're built to score points. I don't know man. I mean i think that's why they brought in wayne simmons. But but what is he going to do on your fourth line man. What is he gonna do. Physicality provide physicality unless you have a plane with their top line. Unless he's leo camera v. to he's not going to have an impact for those guys because the guys are in finishing the their plays like. I don't know if he's like dude. We should sit down one day together and watch like you know other wash the game more condense plays like you'll just see like mars especially and i know he's getting bullied the most right now. So it's kinda unfair but you know you just give up on plays and the and the offensive zone like he. He puts his stick in the play. You know like he's like i tried. Guess i didn't get it me back the other way. And then you're losing possessions that way for me Do you take that. As i mean i know you physicality thing i mean i kind of think it again is not an attitude thing but like something intangible that we can't see you know like something in our locker. I don't think that they gel as well as people think that they do. You know all of them you know. I don't think that they play together as well as they should you. Now let's say individually. They're great players. But i don't know you know and i mean i think it's easier during the regular season but the playoffs again. Yeah they're different beasts in you know if you don't have that mentality man you're not gonna win. Yeah exactly. And that's why. I'm saying like i hate like going back to boston. Because or even even make the same Same remarks about like tampa bay like when they go in eighth finish. Check your igniting your team your players around you. They're all excited to play. All of a sudden you make a great play to keep the puck and deep martyr makes play. He levels the guy or you know he wins. The puck battle. They have an extra chance to score there. They have an extra thirty seconds. Fifteen seconds in the offensive zone on their top line and not offensive zone. Where they're so lethal. they're not getting those opportunities. because they're losing the puck every time they enter. You can't not be physical you can't not you know. And maybe that's the chemistry thing because nobody wants to be physical player for them. Whatever i know. I'm probably sounding annoying at this point considering how much i've said about it but it's just it's just. It's funny the disparity between the two teams. Yeah no yeah that makes sense. I hear that but anyway my these you're probably gonna wrote me somehow for this but I went with pasta man. You know i know. He's a my little man crush this week. Probably for this is why.

Q: Spring - JPA OneToMany without setParent on Child object I have a Parent table that should point to some Childs, Here are my codes:
Parent :
public class Parent
{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Integer id;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "parent", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private List<Child> childs;

    public List<Child> getChilds()
    {
        return this.childs;
    }

    public void setChilds(List<Child> childs)
    {
        this.childs = childs;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id)
    {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getId()
    {
        return this.id;
    }
}

Child :
public class Child
{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Integer id;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "parent_id")
    private Parent parent;

    public void setParent(Parent parent)
    {
        this.parent = parent;
    }

    public Parent getParent()
    {
        return this.parent;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id)
    {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getId()
    {
        return this.id;
    }
}

Child table should store parent_id as foreign key, but without setting child.setParent(parent) this column is always null.
I don't want to call child.setParent(parent) because it will cause performance issue because i should create iterate.

A: Child is the owner of the relationship, so you have to call child.setParent(parent) to properly setup the relationship.

Are you interested in playtesting? Here we share two aspects of a playtest at a primary school: contacting the teachers involved and analyzing the results. Documentary evidence: a letter from an educator, pictures, results, conclusions.
In mid-April, Rosa Pons, a friend of high school at the time, asked me if I could play test a group game in the school where I teach. Lost Prince was introduced to me as a game about touching that shows that if we cannot see each other or hear our voices, we don't acknowledge each other.
The game had been tested already in several cities in Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands and they wanted to try it in schools. Coincidence or not, we were just preparing a new activity for the month of May, to end the school year 2016-2017. The activity consisted of playing games mixing children of different groups from nine to twelve years.
I proposed it to the coordinator that approved the test for the first Friday of May. The result was unexpected: the children wanted to continue playing after ninety minutes and they were praising me to bring the game again to the next session. The impression the game had caused ran like wildfire through the halls and when leaving the school, a couple of girls stopped us begging in the children's style to play the game. Surprised, Rosa, asked me who they were. Those two girls were unfamiliar to her because they had not been playing with us.
Once at home I asked myself "what happened today"? The activity was so good that I started doing the math: obviously with an hour played on average, children do not change attitudes, but if each round of Lost Prince can last 10 to 15 minutes it's easy to implement it in class.
Next Monday, I shared my conclusion with the team of teachers: that I find it an interesting, valid tool because it changes ideas through the skin and not the intellect, going directly to the emotions. The team decided to include the game in the activity for the whole month, and we asked Rosa to send us a prototype.
The game is about touching, feeling and acknowledging without seeing.
The cards represent the Prince that is lost, the strange Creatures that live in the forest and Fortuna, who helps the Prince orient himself because he is blindfolded and needs to locate a Compass.
The forest creatures do not speak, they act by touching the Prince each according to a character. The Prince has to guess the name of the player, who then gives a hint about the compass.
The game provoked laughter, surprise, expectation, disbelief, excitement.
The players who had the role of the Prince found the game much more difficult than it seemed, they were wrong even in guessing their best friends.
Everybody wanted to be the Prince to experience how it felt.
The players acting as creatures were asking how to do it, as if they needed permission.
The game allowed to touch in experimental ways because every child applied a different intensity, duration, care.
The ethnic, gender or age barriers diffused. We saw a momentary stop of judgmental attitudes.
The children ended happier than they began.
After 90 minutes they still wanted to play. The children that didn't want to play too.
The game works well in big groups that know each other. Can be used in schools in many different ways. It can be played for fun, but also as a tool for dis-inhibition, for stimulating body awareness and acceptance of the other. It can be used to provoke questions and conversations. It can diminish tension in a group.
And touching is something special at any age. Who does not need a hug occasionally?

The formal presentation was followed by followed by a question and answer period and stakeholder one on one sessions with IATA.
As part of the EIA's contribution to the CEIV pharma program, EIA will be opening a "Fresh Cargo Centre" cooler facility that will be used jointly by CEIV certified cargo carriers. With 5000 sq. ft. of refrigerated warehouse space and direct airside access, the facility will be Ideally suited for the handling of perishable cargo such as pharma, meat, fruit and produce.
Four of EIA's partner companies are already pursuing CEIV Pharma certification; Swissport, Flying Fresh Air Freight, Braden Bury Expediting (BBE) and Canadian North. Each of the companies sees their own benefits from participating in the community certification.
"Swissport is proud to be participating in the CEIV certification process for YEG. This designation will allow Swissport to better serve the needs of the Edmonton market, customers, and our partners at EIA. With growing concern globally for supply chain protocols with respect to pharma and perishable cargo, it is important to attain the benchmark for certification and ensure shipments are handled safely".
Now that the certification program is officially started, EIA and IATA will work with community members to resolve any issues on the road to certification. The four phases are Preparation, Assessment, Validation and additional training. It is expected that successful partner organizations should receive their official validations mid to late 2019, with recertification every 3 years.


This is no small feat. Aside from the talent and creativity of these chefs who continue to delight and amaze customers, it's taken the entire Nashville community and local government to come together to get us where we are today.
Let us introduce you to Hoss' Loaded Burgers – one of the first Nashville food trucks to hit the streets. They have been stuffing burgers (and belly's) for 5+ years!
If you're wondering what a "loaded burger" is, it's a hamburger stuffed with cheese. And dang, it is delicious! It's so delicious in fact, that we think Nashville needs to #GetMore Hoss' Loaded Burgers in their lives.
So we're teaming up to do just that!
Come to Street Food Thursday's this Thursday (September 1st) and stop by Hoss' Loaded Burger truck between 11am-2pm. The first 85 burgers are free, courtesy of Kasasa.
Meet the man behind the griddle: Dallas Shaw, owner of Hoss' Loaded Burgers and one of the founders of the Nashville Food Truck association. In this interview we talk burgers, small business, and Nashville.
Can you tell us a little bit about Street Food Thursday's?
Our Mayor, Megan Barry pushed for this to happen. She wanted to highlight the local food truck scene, and make sure government employees got a taste of what we're offering.
It was originally every other Thursday, but this summer she said "why not make it every Thursday?" We weren't going to argue!
So every Thursday 15-20 local food trucks park along Deaderick Street between 4th Avenue North and 5th Avenue North. We serve up food from 11am-2pm.
It's been super successful. People love having quality food trucks downtown.
I'm sure! It seems win-win for everybody. Can you tell us how you came up with Hoss' Loaded Burgers?
A corporate gig with AT&T is what brought me to Nashville. It started to wear on me after a while. I wanted to do something on my own.
Food had always been something I was passionate about, and at this time (2011) there were only 4-5 food trucks in Nashville. I saw the opportunity and took the leap.
It looks like it's paid off. What's been most rewarding part of running your own small business?
For me, I love seeing the instant gratification of handing someone their food, watching them bite into it, and just seeing the enjoyment on their face.
Also, knowing that I can go to the people.
Almost any day of the week, we go to office parks. We are able to serve people up delicious food, way better than the fast food chain they'd normally be rushing off to eat. I feel like in a small way, we're bettering people's lives by going to them, saving them time, and letting them enjoy a great meal.
What's the hardest part about running Hoss' Loaded Burgers?
People assume that because your truck is 1/10th the size of a restaurant that everything must be much more scaled down. That isn't the case.
As a food truck owner you wear all the hats. You're the CEO, the accountant, the marketing guy, you do the purchasing and inventory.
There's a lot more that goes into it than us pulling up to an event and serving our burgers. I'm the guy that is constantly checking and answering emails throughout the day just to get ahead of tomorrow's work.
Can you tell us a little about how the food truck association came to be?
The same month that I got Hoss' Loaded Burgers on the road (August, 2011,) Public Works was holding a hearing for how to structure the Food Trucks popping up around town.
Up until this point, all regulations had to do with sidewalk vendors. The food truck "boom" had not yet hit.
There were about six food trucks out in Nashville. I think The Grilled Cheesery, Mas Tacos, and Blue Monkey Shaved Ice had all come out, a few others as well.
Right before public works had their hearing, we reached out to one another and agreed that we should come together as a unified voice.
Let's all agree on what we want, and push for it.
We didn't have the name yet, but in terms of a group businesses working towards a single goal, that was the day when the Nashville Food Truck Association was born.
With the boom, has the association has grown quite a bit?
It's been exponential. We started out with 5 or 6 members and now have 77!
In my opinion, I really don't. Competition is always a good thing.
Competition pushes the trucks that are out to be better. It pushes them to create something unique and special that will keep customers happy over the long term. I think right now we have 7 different BBQ food trucks – each has their own unique spin and customer base.
How do you feel Nashville has reacted to food trucks?
The fact that Public Works took a chance on food trucks back in 2011 was huge. Megan Barry's support has also had a big impact. The local government in Nashville has really embraced us. If your city is supporting your cause, that's a big first step.
And even more so, all the food truck owners are friends. We all are trying to help each other. I'm constantly passing along events and opportunities to other food trucks in town.
We've come together as a group of friends to make sure Nashville food trucks are seen as a civil group of business owners that are here for Nashville. We have a strong community here.
What the best piece of financial advice you ever received?
Hmm, that's tough. My parents made me financially responsible from a young age. I think in 4th grade I had a checking and savings account that I was responsible for managing. When I got a car, my parents made me pay the insurance on it.
It wasn't one particular lesson they passed on, but over the years they showed me how to be frugal, how to know what to spend my money on, and how to save.
They showed me the benefits of saving money left over at the end of the month. You don't need to spend everything.
It's important to have savings for when things go wrong. Especially when you're running a business because it's bound to happen at one point.
Last question: What is the best thing about Nashville as a whole?
The food. The city is getting so many new great restaurants, food trucks, and pop-ups. Chefs are really stepping up their game in this city, and it's amazing to be a part of it. Nashville is so supportive of new food ideas.
Just take a look at the Nashville Food Truck association website and you'll see the wide array of gourmet food trucks within Nashville.
Don't forget to head to Street Food Thursday's this Thursday between 11am and 2pm. The first 85 customers to stop by Hoss' Loaded Burgers get a free burger.
We believe you deserve to #getmore when you stay local. So eat up!
Keep up with Hoss' Loaded Burgers by following them on Facebook and Twitter.
Love this! Dallas and Hoss' are some of the best in the city. I'll cheers a burger to that!

Info and presales
Friends of Ravenna Festival and the Alighieri Theatre Association
XXXI edition
21 june - 30 july
Fender Vintage, the Exhibition from June 16 to 24
Fender Vintage: the guitar that made the history of rock
From June 16 to 24, the exhibition dedicated to the Fender guitars at Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste
If the electric guitar is the king of the popular music instruments, then the Fender is the undisputed queen of guitars: in the occasion of the week of events celebrating the instrument which has marked the history of music over the last thunderous decades, on Friday June 15, at 6.30 pm, Ravenna Festival presents Fender Vintage. The exhibition is a not-to-be-missed journey in the history of music amid over 100 guitars with their original cases, amplifiers, catalogues, posters, documents, memorabilia, and photographs linked to the legendary Californian brand. Thanks to the generous support of Mario Boccaccini, the Fender Museum of Flavio Camorani and Michela Taioli will be at Palazzo Rasponi from June 16 to 24.
"The electric guitar, in America as well as in Italy, has given birth to a popular music open to all kinds of influences," says Mario Boccaccini, a passionate collector himself who first suggested the idea for the exhibition, "so the electric guitar has become the perfect instrument to sing and narrate life itself. And Flavio Camorani is a friend and the best guide for those who – like me – love the glorious Fenders best of all the guitars". The collection of the Fender Museum traces the golden age of the historic brand founded by Leo Fender, a synonym for quality, eclecticism, and craftsmanship; after all, the first electric guitar and the first electric bass guitar ever bear the Fender name.
The specimens date from 1946 to 1974, the year in which the Fender Factory was sold to another society and the decline of the brand started: "then Leo Fender and his collaborators, who had already sold most of the original factory to the CBS in 1965, completely backed out from any quality control," Flavio Camorani explains. In 1950 Fender had been using wood which had been cut 30 years before and left to age; then every instrument was different from the next, owing to a mix of micro-variations, from the cut of the shapes to the number of turns in the microphone cables. Thus the vintage of the Fender guitars – keepers of a unique sound – is born.
From Tuesday, June 19, concerts in Ravenna, Russi, and Comacchio will compose a grand fresco of sounds, between solos and mass performances, a nostalgic touch but also new compositions – because the project We Sing the Body Electric is not a revival, but a journey into the future of the electric guitar.
Fender vintage will be at Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste (Piazza J. F. Kennedy, 12), in the 'Sala delle Feste', from June 16 to 24. Open daily from 3 pm to 8 pm; on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 11 am to 8 pm. Free admission.

[Viewpoin]A cry from the North
I recently watched the movie, "Crossing." It was so sad I could not help crying. The audience stayed in the theater while the closing credits rolled, showing the actors and crew who worked on the film. Crossing is a film about a disbanded family of North Korean defectors. The protagonist, named Yong-su, crosses the Duman River to China to get medicine for his wife, who is dying of tuberculosis and malnutrition. While being chased by the Chinese police, Yong-su is told that he could get money by doing an interview and jumps over the wall of the German Embassy in Beijing. He ends up in South Korea without really intending to defect. Through a broker, he tries to bring his wife and son to the South, but while he is away, his wife dies. Yong-su barely gets in touch with his son, but he dies in the middle of the desert while crossing the Mongolian border.
There are 13,000 North Korean defectors living in the South. Each and every one has a story as dramatic as a movie or a novel. Their stories might be different in detail, but with a few exceptions, they all crossed the border because of extreme food shortages in the North. They decided to defect out of desperation because they thought they would die one way or another.
The tragedy of Yong-su's family in the film started from food. If Yong-su's wife could have had decent meals, she would not have gotten sick. And Yong-su wouldn't have had to cross the border.
"I gathered wild vegetables and firewood in the mountains and sold them at a market. Some days, I would make about 5 cents, but there were unlucky days when I would return home empty-handed. When I was so hungry and became dizzy, I focused on one thing. Let's find some herbs and wood and make some porridge. But after four days of not having any food, I could not see clearly. I could no longer drag myself to school. I was so hungry I could not study or pay attention to the teacher. Food was the only thing on my mind."
A 24-year-old North Korean defector Kim Tae-geum (an alias) tells her story in "In Order to Live Here," a collection of testimonies by defectors published by Doctors Without Borders in 2005. Another defector witnessed the open executions of his aunt and uncle for killing and eating a pig they had been raising. The reality is harsher and crueler than the film.
South Korea has been noisy about U.S. beef imports for more than two months, and it started from food safety. In North Korea, where millions of residents are starving and families are falling apart, food is a matter of life and death. If we reduce food waste, we can save trillions of won every year, enough money to rescue North Korean residents from starvation. I think it is a luxury to worry about mad cow disease.
As the United States is to provide 500,000 tons of food to the North, the Korean government is now fretting over food aid in a belated reaction. On the day when the U.S. ship, the Baltimore, arrived at the port of Nampo and began unloading 37,000 tons of wheat flour, Seoul announced that Pyongyang officially turned down its offer to provide 50,000 tons of corn. The government even said that the South will provide food unconditionally if Pyongyang designates the time and place. It once proclaimed that the South cannot give any aid unless the North asks for help first. But now, the government is urging the North to accept assistance, ready to pour out help.
Of course, the Kim Jong-il regime is fundamentally responsible for the food crisis in the North. It might hurt its pride, but it is only ethical for Pyongyang to accept the South's corn and save its starving residents. However, if food aid is coming from the United States on a large scale, why would Pyongyang lower itself and accept help from the South? Seoul would act the same way if it were in such a position.
There is no sin more serious than playing with food in front of a hungry man. If Seoul is sincerely willing to help North Korean residents, there is no reason to wait. The aid can be sent through international organizations like the World Food Program.
The candlelight vigils provide another chance for South Koreans to help their brethren in the North. If the protestors want to continue to light candles, they can bring a cup of rice to each vigil. They can collect the rice and send it to the North in the name of the candlelight vigils. Yong-su cried, "Why is Jesus only in the South?" We should help North Koreans in response to such cries.

Former Baylor Tight End Tre'Von Armstead arrested on sexual assault warrant
Former Baylor Tight End Tre'Von Armstead was arrested on a sexual assault warrant.
Author: Stephen Adams
Published: 5:33 PM CDT March 22, 2017
Updated: 5:33 PM CDT March 22, 2017
Former Baylor Tight End Tre'Von Armstead, who was arrested earlier in March for pushing a woman in front of a Las Vegas hotel, has been arrested again -- this time on a sexual assault warrant.
Armstead was arrested at 9:28 a.m. in Port Arthur, according to a representative at the Jefferson County Jail. His latest arrest stems from a sexual assault warrant out of McLennan County, the jail said.
He was charged with sexual assault and was still in custody in Jefferson County on $150,000 bond early Wednesday evening, law enforcement said.
During Armstead's other arrest this month, he was accused of resisting arrest kicking out the back window of a Las Vegas Police cruiser. For that incident, he was charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery, one count of resisting arrest and one count of misdemeanor tampering with a law enforcement vehicle.
Armstead is also at the center of a civil lawsuit filed in January. In the court documents, an unidentified woman claimed Armstead and another former player, Shamycheal "Myke" Chatman, raped her in 2013. The lawsuit, which alleges a total of 52 rapes by 31 Baylor football players between 2011 and 2014, has become one of the main cases cited by Baylor critics during the ongoing sexual assault scandal that has tarnished the University's reputation.
As ESPN first reported during its 2016 Baylor University investigation, a Waco Police Department incident report from 2013 named Armstead and Chatman. But, neither was ever charged with a crime. Armstead was kicked off the football team for a "rules violation" in 2015. He was later expelled from Baylor in 2016.


The point is that it's easy to reposition a couch and a coffee table or add some hooks or an extra towel rack in the bathroom, but a kitchen doesn't allow for a lot of flexibility once everything is in place. And it's a real "work" room. It has to function properly for you. So don't just think about the "usual," and do as much as you can to be specific about what you need.
If you're looking for an unusual approach to this, besides just envisioning your new kitchen or dropping and dragging icons of appliances and cabinets around your computer screen, you could try this: Head out to the backyard (or the garage, if there's room) with a big roll of, say, bright blue painter's tape and mark off your layout to full size. Then (ignoring the strange looks from your neighbors), walk it through, as if you were making a favorite dish. See what feels natural and what doesn't.
There may, ultimately, be some constraints because of plumbing or electrical, but by the time you're done, you should have a very good idea about what would be an optimal layout for you.
