Regular transformations can be changed while the bitmap drawing is held (see al_hold_bitmap_drawing).
Regular transformations work with memory bitmaps.
As a result, if you're making a 2D game, it's best to leave the projection transformations at their default values.
Both types of transformations are set per target-bitmap, i.e. a change of the target bitmap will also change the active transformation.
Allegro provides convenience functions to construct transformations in 2D and 3D variants (the latter with a _3d suffix), so you don't have to deal with the underlying matrix algebra yourself.
The transformations are combined in the order of the function invocations. Thus to create a transformation that first rotates a point and then translates it, you would (starting with an identity transformation) call al_rotate_transform and then al_translate_transform. This approach is opposite of what OpenGL uses but similar to what Direct3D uses.
Since the point coordinate vector term will go on the right of that sequence of factors, the transformation that is called first, will also be applied first.
Defines the generic transformation type, a 4x4 matrix. 2D transforms use only a small subsection of this matrix, namely the top left 2x2 matrix, and the right most 2x1 matrix, for a total of 6 values.
Makes a copy of a transformation.
The parameter is passed by reference as an optimization to avoid the overhead of stack copying. The reference will not be stored in the Allegro library so it is safe to pass references to local variables.
Returns the transformation of the current target bitmap, as set by al_use_transform. If there is no target bitmap, this function returns NULL.
Returns: A pointer to the current transformation.
The orthographic transformation above is the default projection transform.
This function does nothing if there is no target bitmap. This function also does nothing if the bitmap is a memory bitmap (i.e. memory bitmaps always use an orthographic transform like the snippet above). Note that the projection transform will be reset to default if a video bitmap is converted to a memory bitmap. Additionally, if the bitmap in question is the backbuffer, it's projection transformation will be reset to default if it is resized. Lastly, when you draw a memory bitmap to a video bitmap with a custom projection transform, this transformation will be ignored (i.e. it'll be as if the projection transform of the target bitmap was temporarily reset to default).
If there is no target bitmap, this function returns NULL.
Returns the inverse of the current transformation of the target bitmap. If there is no target bitmap, this function returns NULL.
This is similar to calling al_invert_transform(al_get_current_transform()) but the result of this function is cached.
Note: Allegro's transformation inversion functions work correctly only with 2D transformations.
Inverts the passed transformation. If the transformation is nearly singular (close to not having an inverse) then the returned transformation may be invalid. Use al_check_inverse to ascertain if the transformation has an inverse before inverting it if you are in doubt.
// position is 0/0/0 as in the example.
Checks if the transformation has an inverse using the supplied tolerance. Tolerance should be a small value between 0 and 1, with 1e-7 being sufficient for most applications.
In this function tolerance specifies how close the determinant can be to 0 (if the determinant is 0, the transformation has no inverse). Thus the smaller the tolerance you specify, the "worse" transformations will pass this test. Using a tolerance of 1e-7 will catch errors greater than 1/1000's of a pixel, but let smaller errors pass. That means that if you transformed a point by a transformation and then transformed it again by the inverse transformation that passed this check, the resultant point should less than 1/1000's of a pixel away from the original point.
Note that this check is superfluous most of the time if you never touched the transformation matrix values yourself. The only thing that would cause the transformation to not have an inverse is if you applied a 0 (or very small) scale to the transformation or you have a really large translation. As long as the scale is comfortably above 0, the transformation will be invertible.
Sets the transformation to be the identity transformation. This is the default transformation. Use al_use_transform on an identity transformation to return to the default.
Builds a transformation given some parameters. This call is equivalent to calling the transformations in this order: make identity, rotate, scale, translate. This method is faster, however, than actually calling those functions.
Note: this function was previously documented to be equivalent to a different (and more useful) order of operations: identity, scale, rotate, translate.
Builds a transformation which can be used to transform 3D coordinates in world space to camera space. This involves translation and a rotation. The function expects three coordinate triplets: The camera's position, the position the camera is looking at and an up vector. The up vector does not need to be of unit length and also does not need to be perpendicular to the view direction - it can usually just be the world up direction (most commonly 0/1/0).
This create a transformation for a camera standing at 1/1/1 and looking towards 5/5/5.
Note: If the position and look parameters are identical, or if the up direction is parallel to the view direction, an identity matrix is created.
Apply a translation to a transformation.
Apply a rotation to a transformation.
Apply a scale to a transformation.
Transform a pair of coordinates.
Transform x, y, z coordinates.
Note: If you are using a projection transform you most likely will want to use al_transform_coordinates_3d_projective instead.
Transform x, y, z, w coordinates.
Compose (combine) two transformations by a matrix multiplication.
Note that the order of matrix multiplications is important. The effect of applying the combined transform will be as if first applying trans and then applying other and not the other way around.
Combines the given transformation with an orthographic transformation which maps the screen rectangle to the given left/top and right/bottom coordinates.
near/far is the z range, coordinates outside of that range will get clipped. Normally -1/1 is fine because all 2D graphics will have a z coordinate of 0. However if you for example do al_draw_rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100) and rotate around the x axis ("towards the screen") make sure your z range allows values from -100 to 100 or the rotated rectangle will get clipped.
Also, if you are using a depth buffer the z range decides the depth resolution. For example if you have a 16 bit depth buffer there are only 65536 discrete depth values. So if your near/far is set to -1000000/1000000 most of the z positions would not result in separate depth values which could lead to artifacts.
The result of applying this transformation to coordinates will be to normalize visible coordinates into the cube from -1/-1/-1 to 1/1/1. Such a transformation is mostly useful for passing it to al_use_projection_transform - see that function for an example use.
Like al_orthographic_transform but honors perspective. If everything is at a z-position of -near it will look the same as with an orthographic transformation.
// for a 90 degree horizontal viewing angle.
// a 90° viewing angle both are visible.
// This projection is very different from the one in the first example.
// the visible portion of the scene independent of the field of view.
// Moves everything by -4 in the z direction.
// pixel (assuming the display is 800 x 450).
Combines the given transformation with a transformation which translates coordinates by the given vector.
Combines the given transformation with a transformation which scales coordinates by the given vector.
Combines the given transformation with a transformation which rotates coordinates around the given vector by the given angle in radians.
Note: The vector is assumed to be of unit length (otherwise it will also incur a scale).

Former Gurkha's medals are stolen from his restaurant
March 2 2013, 12:01am, The Times
Thieves have stolen a former Gurkha sergeant-major's treasured medal collection, including his MBE and family military medals, including one presented to his grandfather by George VI.
Om Gurung owns the Crossed Kukris restaurant in Nuneaton, where the medals were kept. "There were about 50 in all," said the 55-year-old businessman. "I occasionally had them on show in frames on the wall of my restaurant and it is possible that someone broke in specifically to get them."

If Greater Los Angeles isn't able to add housing, the pressure is going to continue to build.
Unfortunately, Zillow has forecast a 4.5 percent rent increase in Los Angeles for the coming year. Olsen claims the study found that rent increases are closely tied to growing homelessness in places such as Los Angeles and New York City, where there is little low-income housing for people priced out of gentrifying neighborhoods to retreat to. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority blamed rent increases for a 26 percent surge in homelessness from 2016 to 2017. The Housing Authority said more than a quarter of Los Angeles residents spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The agency also reported that while the median rent, adjusted for inflation, jumped 28 percent from 2000 to 2014, renter income declined eight percent. Hopefully more people are not pushed out of their homes or apartments due to increasing housing and rental costs.


Passenger Terminal Expo and Conference celebrated its 20th anniversary celebrations in style today (March 15) with a record numbers of visitors, delegates and exhibitors.
With more than 225 exhibitors and 6,800 visitors, including 1,300 conference delegates and 375 speakers, this year is the biggest and best Passenger Terminal Expo ever.
In the exhibition hall Rockwell Collins has launched its next-generation common use passenger processing system, ARINC cMUSE, and Safran Identity and Security has released its latest facial recognition solution, MorphoFACE. An electric driverless shuttle bus from navya has also captured the attention of delegates as did CAIBA, an advanced customer service robot from Japanese company Indy Associates.
Alongside the exhibition, Passenger Terminal Conference 2017 began with an opening address by Jos Nijhuis, CEO and president of Schiphol Group, the operator of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. This was followed by nine sessions on the first day alone, including a presentation on passenger tracking and guidance by Martin Augustin, head of processes at Munich Airport Terminal 2 and a panel discussion focusing on customer service transformation in a digital world.
Passenger Terminal Expo also hosts the Skytrax World Airport awards ceremony, the overall winner of which this year is Singapore Changi Airport. Another event highlight is the gala dinner, taking place at the Beurs Van Berlage in Amsterdam from 7:00pm.
Louise Brix-Hansen, head of airport optimization at Copenhagen Airports, said, "I've really enjoyed attending the conference, there's been a lot of really interesting speakers and I've found the venue this year is even better than last year.
Hakan Andersson, director of airports and global transportation, Unisys, said, "The Expo's been great. I'm meeting clients, talking to a lot of the exhibitors and partners, and even checking out the competitors.
Gabriel de Geza, chief engineer, engineering and maintenance, Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana, said, "I've been impressed by the breadth of topics and the size of the conference. I'm interested in the detail of airport planning. I wanted to learn how other airports are tackling the common challenges, developing and working to meet passenger expectations.
Kim Madsen, senior system manager of IT and controls, airport and logistics systems, Beumer Group, said, "We have been able to meet with a lot of customers. At two minutes past 10:00am there was a flood of people coming towards us.

Q: Variables addresses in C This is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
    char *dd,aaa[500];
    strcpy(aaa,"test 1");
    dd=aaa;
    printf("1. %s\n",dd);
    strcpy(aaa,"test 2");
    printf("2. %s\n",dd);

system("pause");
return 0;
}

When i have changed aaa variable by test 2 string, dd also changes, why?

A: It could be great if you said what you are trying to do in order for others to put your code into perspective.
Now you seem to have not understood well how pointers work. Since your code isn't really easy to read, the answer will be general.
Pointers 'hold' addresses to memory. If you have pointer ptr1 pointing towards memory block A and pointer ptr2 pointing towards ptr1, if you change ptr1, naturally ptr2 will experience the same changes. In your first block of code, you seem not to understand why someVar changes after otherVar changes. To make more explicit what @dmp has pointed out, you have told you program ( the operating system is managing memory for your program ) that someVar will point towards the value held in otherVar[0]. Now when otherVar[0] changes, someVar will change because that is how pointers are supposed to work, it is called to dereference a pointer - when you request the value of what the pointer points to - and you'll notice that things changed pr ptr2. So, please reread about pointers again.
In your second block of code, I don't know what you trying to accomplish but whatever it is, it will SEGFAULT. That is so because again, you haven't understood the relationship between pointers, arrays and how dynamic memory allocation works. For example, in the splittext function you have this line:
wchar_t *arr[2],*loc = wcsstr(stri, del), buf[DEFAULT_BUFLEN];
Right there: you telling the operating system to check the value at the 3rd cell of *arr while you haven't allocated memory for it. Also, when allocating memory, remember:

*

*If you want to allocate memory for char to get a string your pointer will have to be a pointer towards char like this:

char* my_string = malloc( 256*sizeof(char))
Now you want to get memory allocated to pointers towards say  variables of type FILE*.
If you write FILE** my_files = malloc( NUMBER_OF_FILES*sizeof(FILE)) it will get you into trouble. Rather write :
FILE** my_files = malloc( NUMBER_OF_FILES*sizeof(FILE*))
This is with regards to how you allocated memory for say arr.

*

*Also don't cast the return value of malloc. It will hide many errors the compiler could have caught!

To sum up, first try to learn about pointers before moving on to a bit advanced uses of pointers, arrays and memory allocation; second you can't put incorrect code ( you will know it is incorrect either it doesn't compile or just crash ) and tell others : "hey look at that variable, that is where my problem is." Try to do more research into the question, try learning what tools can assist - a debugger in this case - and that will be improve the quality of your question. Third and last, if English is not your first language, you can mention it and others will be willing to assist in reformulating your question.
Hope you will do better next time!
UPDATE
After edit by OP, the question now is clearer and the OP's problem is about pointers.
dd's value changes because:
aaa is a pointer like this: char aaa[500] is equivalent to char* aaa = malloc(500*sizeof(char)). Now when you dd=aaa, you told the compiler that dd will point to the same memory address as does aaa. So every time you modify aaa dd gets modified because they point to the same thing in memory.
If that wasn't clear, try to reread the definition of a pointer.

A: What you ask is not clear, however, pointers in C are passed by value (there is a copy of the pointer pointing to the same location).  If you dereference a pointer and change the value pointed to, the caller will see the change.

A: A quick pointer lesson should clear it up:
What happens on this line?
char *dd = aaa;
You've created a pointer to a character allocation called dd and pointed it to the memory address that aaa is stored at.
aaa's address is on the stack and static (you created it implicitly with your aaa[500]).
Now, when you put data into aaa, aaa's location in memory does not change, simply the data stored at that position in memory.  When you try to print out the 'contents' of aaa, you're getting the characters stored at that point in memory.  When you copy new data into aaa, the position in memory still remains the same, and thus dd is still pointing to the same memory space as aaa does.
My apologies if that's no clearer than anyone else's...

John Cena Praises The Rock for Changing Hollywood When It Comes to WWE Wrestlers
"What we do in WWE is we tell stories - we just tell most of it through a physical nature of a narrative. And it is over the top, and a very Shakespearean form, but it is storytelling. I just think we have a lot of talented individuals that could be good in other avenues. It's just by being on every week without a break, perception is reality. 'I know this person for being this person and this person alone.' It's very much like your favorite [television show], like Seinfeld." This is why, according to Cena, Dwayne Johnson has been so crucial to the WWE industry, as prior to becoming one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, Johnson was simply known as the people's-elbowing, single-eyebrow-raising "The Rock". With his slogans making it into the zeitgeist so thoroughly that even if you had never seen WWE you knew that he could smell what you were cooking. Now that he has taken on a variety of different roles across many different genres, Johnson has shown wider audiences that there is … [Read more...] about John Cena Praises The Rock for Changing Hollywood When It Comes to WWE Wrestlers

Creed Trailer #2: Rocky Fights for Apollo's Son
Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there's no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed's legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa. Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo-the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring. … [Read more...] about Creed Trailer #2: Rocky Fights for Apollo's Son

Jimmy Page Testifies as Led Zeppelin 'Stairway to Heaven' Trial Heats Up
Despite Page's casual exterior, sparks continued to fly between the legal teams. At one point, Anderson accused Malofiy of altering a photo of Plant and Andes hanging out backstage at a 1982 Heart concert. (Andes was a member of Heart for a decade.) Anderson and Malofiy also squabbled when a deposition video featured an unsanctioned discussion by Malofiy of Page and Plant's drug use. While it's impossible to say at this point which side will prevail in "Michael Skidmore vs. Led Zeppelin et al," by the end of the trial's second day, Malofiy had racked up sustained objections in the double digits, at times exasperating the presiding magistrate. (At one point during Malofiy's questioning, Judge Klausner yelled out "Sustained!' even before the defense had time to object.) … [Read more...] about Jimmy Page Testifies as Led Zeppelin 'Stairway to Heaven' Trial Heats Up

Secrets of the SAG-AFTRA Convention (Exclusive)
So Howard refused to endorse Reardon, who then said she planned to run anyway. Indeed, it may be that one reason AFTRA had insisted during merger negotiations on creating an executive vp slot was so that Reardon would have a soft landing after the co-president positions transitioned to the single president format that now exists. However, Reardon's plans evaporated in the wake of a THR article that detailed the contents of the confidential audit reports. Instead, Carteris ran with Reardon's endorsement. … [Read more...] about Secrets of the SAG-AFTRA Convention (Exclusive)

In addition to carrying his father's name, David also happens to be the spitting image of Chris. This might work against David's pro wrestling ambitions, given the notoriety associated with the family name, though he still hopes to one day become a wrestling star, teasing a possible debut in WWE's rival league All Elite Wrestling.

/ Teenager Manages To Steal $30,000 Worth Of Chewing Gum
Teenager Manages To Steal $30,000 Worth Of Chewing Gum
Penny Lido 23 August 2022
We're all guilty of making reckless decisions. Sometimes under the influence, other times, completely level-headed and sane. Either way, those decisions can be justified and make for lasting memories.
However, how does one explain snagging copious amounts of chewing gum? Where's the logic in that?
18-year-old, Keon Sanderson and his partner, Ellis Benecke may have the answer for that.
The duo raided a delivery truck as the driver slept in the front. The driver was completely oblivious to the action and did not realise it until she had awoken.
They proceeded to take out seven of nineteen pallets after cutting the side open in a sophisticated operation. They then attempted to flee the site after a nearby driver spotted them and contacted the local authorities.
The pair then got into what they thought was their getaway car and drove in the wrong direction of the main highway and bumped into their BMW which was intended for the escape. That then attracted even more attention.
The young pair were taken into custody and when questioned as to what the motive behind the whole charade, Sanderson answered "I just needed to pay off some debt."
They now both serve time for the damages caused.

Audible stalls 'Captions' feature rollout following copyright suit

Book publishers sue Audible over new 'Captions' feature
AAFA names Amazon domains in Notorious Markets submission
Fight for .amazon continues as talks break down
Amazon makes move to protect brands online
Amazon's Audible will not enable its new "Audible Captions" feature for a number of audiobooks, following a copyright infringement complaint by several members of the Association of American Publishers.
In a stipulation, submitted August 28 at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Audible said it would not roll out the new feature for all audiobooks owned or exclusively licensed by the publishers in suit.
It said the stipulation would stand until the court passes judgment on the matter. While a preliminary injunction hearing had been set for September 5, it has now been moved to September 25. Audible said this would give it time to file a response to the publisher's suit by September 13.
On August 23 publishers including HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster, said in a complaint that Audible's new mobile app feature takes copyright-protected works and repurposes them for its own benefit.
This "is the kind of quintessential infringement that the Copyright Act directly forbids", the publishers said.
The new feature, which was set to launch on September 10, allegedly takes the publishers' audiobooks and converts the narration into "unauthorised text and distributes the entire text of these 'new' digital books to Audible's customers".
The publishers said Audible did not seek a licence for the creation of the transcriptions and does not maintain the quality control "that readers have come to expect from the publishers".
"Audible has admitted to publishers that up to 6% of the text may contain transcription errors, the equivalent of 18 full pages of a 300-page book," the filing said.
In response to the complaint, Audible said it was "surprised and disappointed" by the publisher's action and the implication that it had not been working with publishers on the creation of the feature.
Audible said: "Captions was developed because we, like so many leading educators and parents, want to help kids who are not reading engage more through listening."
"It is not and was never intended to be a book. We disagree with the claims that this violates any rights and look forward to working with publishers and members of the professional creative community to help them better understand the educational and accessibility benefits of this innovation," it added.

VGstockstudio/ShutterstockFeeling lazy about brushing? Here's a great reason to show your smile some love: A study from the University of Southern California found that people who reported not brushing their teeth daily had a 22 to 65 percent greater risk of dementia than those who brushed three times a day. The connection between your gums and your grey matter probably has something to do with a process that Brett Finlay, co-author of Let Them Eat Dirt, refers to as "inflammaging," a chronic low-grade activation of the immune system that takes a toll on your body. When harmful bacteria colonize your gums, their inflammatory byproducts seep through the gums and into your body, where all that inflammation can lead to dementia and heart disease.
Brushing on a regular basis could help prevent this micro-level mayhem. These are the three manual toothbrushes we're loving right now. If you want your toothbrush to do the work for you, check out the best electric toothbrushes, according to dentists.

Choosing the right toothbrush is only one step on the road to clean, healthy teeth. Here are 8 more ways you've been brushing your teeth all wrong.


It is my belief that software development is one of the most complex tasks that human beings are called upon to perform. This assertion led to comments like, "What about people who design nuclear reactors, or the space shuttle?". Sure, there might be a lot of tasks on a list above "Write Software," but we could argue that "Write Quality Software" should be high up on the list, too.
Quality consists of many attributes, the most important being that a piece of software should perform exactly as designed. In this chapter, I will cover several ways to test Visual Basic code that illustrate this key concept: testing should be planned before code is written, and all code should be written with testing in mind.

Boulder Valley School District Embarks on Ambitious Goal of Net-Zero Energy
In partnership with energy design consultant McKinstry, district-wide energy upgrades and new construction projects are expected to yield major energy and cost savings
BOULDER, Colo. – (April 11, 2017) – Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) and full-service design-build firm McKinstry are in the midst of a years-long sustainable energy program targeting net-zero energy in 11 school facilities. Net-zero capability is achieved when the amount of energy generated through on-site renewables is equal to or more than the energy consumed by building users.
A $576.5 million bond approved by voters in 2014 will allot funds for the projects, which include a mix of five deep energy retrofits, one recommissioning retrofit and five new-construction projects. The combined energy measures are expected to curb the district's utility costs by $307,000 annually while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and the district's carbon footprint.
"These improvements will help move BVSD toward our goal of becoming a Zero Net Energy District, will reduce our energy expenses, and will provide a healthier, more comfortable learning and working environment for all school occupants," said Jeff Medwetz, BVSD project manager of energy systems.
McKinstry serves as the energy design consultant contracted by BVSD to audit existing facilities for areas of improvement, modeling the effects of different energy-improvements on future energy use, commissioning services for the design and construction scope of work, measuring and verifying actual energy performance and providing energy management services once systems are online.
BVSD aims to reduce the energy usage of each existing facility by about half to reach net-zero capability.
In doing so, BSVD is among six districts nationwide participating in the U.S. Energy Department's (DOE) Better Buildings Zero Energy Schools Accelerator, aimed at helping net-zero schools go mainstream. According to the DOE, net-zero schools use 65-80 percent less energy than conventionally-built schools and help improve learning environments.
Last summer, contractors completed the first deep energy retrofit at Broomfield Heights Middle School. The 107,750-square-foot, two-level building was originally built in 1983. McKinstry served as the consultant assisting with design and construction oversight of facility improvement measures including building envelope upgrades, LED lighting upgrades and an entire mechanical system retrofit. The new modern HVAC system integrates chilled beams with heat recovery systems.
A year-long energy management and verification phase is currently underway. McKinstry is monitoring the school's energy performance in real-time against the project's energy model, enabling the project team to correct any irregularities that could impact performance.
Despite an increase in total operating hours, the energy measures at Broomfield Heights Middle School are projected to reduce Energy Use Intensity (EUI) – a measure of energy usage per square foot – from 60.7 EUI to 43 EUI. To reach the net-zero threshold of 35 EUI during the one-year measurement and verification period, McKinstry and BVSD will work in tandem to identify operational enhancements. One example is engaging building occupants in behaviors that support energy efficiency and sustainability.
"The community's investment in net-zero schools is a reflection of the collective commitment to environmental stewardship," said Greg Spalding, McKinstry commissioning manager for the Rocky Mountain region. "We're thrilled to be partnering with the dedicated team at BVSD, and hope to inspire other districts across the country to follow suit."
In addition to Broomfield Heights Middle School, McKinstry is tabbed as the energy services consultant for energy retrofit projects at BVSD's Boulder High School (under construction), Centaurus High School (in design), Broomfield High School (in design), and Fairview High School (in design). Platt Middle School will also undergo an energy retrofit.
McKinstry will serve in the same role to help BVSD implement high-efficiency building systems in four school facilities – to open to students during the 2017-2018 school year – including Douglass Elementary School, Creekside Elementary School, Emerald Elementary School and Erie K-8, as well as a new transportation center.
Energy and utility costs generally account for 20 to 40 percent of a school's maintenance and operations budget, and can be much higher if equipment is beyond its useful life. According to the Alliance to Save Energy, K-12 districts spend more on utility costs than they do on computers and textbooks.
Modernized building systems can also affect learning environments. A recent U.S. Green Building Council report concludes that thermal comfort "affect the stress levels, health and well-being of occupants in schools," and can influence student achievement.

The CWU is committed to a positive policy of opposition to racial harassment and racial discrimination.
Racial harassment is a breach of union rules to racially harass and we have negotiated agreements with the employers of most of our members which cover racial harassment.
It divides workers and can lead to exploitation by the employer.
The CWU is committed to ensuring that all members can live and work in an environment free from racial prejudice and harassment.
Verbal and written harassment - jokes, language and slander. (e.g. jokes that attribute impressions of stupidity, sexual prowess, or hygiene to specific ethnic groups).
Visual harassment - graffiti, posters etc.
Physical harassment - ranging from touching to serious assault.
Isolation, non co-operation and exclusion.
Racial harassment arises from prejudice and discrimination against an individuals' race, ethnic origin, nationality or religion. It portrays people not as individuals, but as having imaginary traits or deficiencies as a whole group.
Self esteem and confidence diminish.
Health can be adversely affected.
Home life and family can be affected.
Work performance may be affected, leading to possible discipline, downgrading or even dismissal.
What is the employers policy?
The majority of our members are covered by specific harassment procedures. These procedures state that harassment will not be tolerated and may be treated as a disciplinary offence that could lead to dismissal.
It is important that members should feel that they can be protected from harassment and discrimination.
The CWU has issued advice to its representatives that members complaints must be treated seriously. All Union representatives have been reminded that they have an obligation under Union rules to treat harassment cases seriously.
If I experience Racial Harassment, what should I do?
Report the problem to your Union representative, Branch Secretary or Equality Officer. They will help you raise your problem with line management.
Do I still have the right to go to an Industrial Tribunal?
If you have been discriminated against, you can take your employer and/or an individual harasser who you work with or work for to an Industrial Tribunal. It is important to try the internal procedure first. Your claim must be submitted within three months of the incident complained of.
Racial harassment is a trade union issue. It directly affects the working conditions and daily lives of all of our members. Discrimination and harassment of any CWU member divides and ultimately weakens the whole union.
