Aindrias Ó Caoimh (4 October 1912 – 30 December 1994) was an Irish judge and barrister who served as a Judge of the European Court of Justice from 1975 to 1985, President of the High Court and a Judge of the High Court from 1966 to 1975 and Attorney General of Ireland from January 1950 to June 1950 and 1957 to 1965.

Personal life
Ó Caoimh was educated at O'Connell School and at University College Dublin.

He was a brother of Brian Ó Cuív and uncle of Éamon Ó Cuív. He and his wife Sheila had seven children, one of whom, also Aindrias Ó Caoimh, was, like his father, appointed a member of the European Court of Justice, in 2004. Ó Caoimh died at his home in Ranelagh in Dublin, and is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
Ó Caoimh's son, of the same name, is Irish judge who served as a Judge of the European Court of Justice from 2004 to 2015, and as Judge of the High Court from 1999 to 2004.

Lawless v. Ireland
During his second term as Attorney General of Ireland he represented the Government of Ireland in Lawless v. Ireland (1957–1961), the first case before the European Court of Human Rights, taken by Gerald Lawless, who was represented by Seán MacBride, the human rights lawyer. The case concerned the detention without trial of a suspected member of the IRA who claimed that Ireland had breached Articles 5, 6 and 7 of the European Convention of Human Rights that provide rights to liberty and security, fair trial and the principle of 'no punishment without law'. The court found in favour of the Irish Government that no violation of the European Convention on Human Rights had taken place.

Arms Trial
In September 1970, Ó Caoimh withdrew from the Arms Trial, with the result that the case had to be re-heard after six days of evidence had already been given.

The Migraine TrustNews & ResearchConcern about numbers of people in Hull who are struggling with migraine
Concern about numbers of people in Hull who are struggling with migraine
Thousands of people from Hull have sought the charity's help
The Migraine Trust is concerned about the numbers of people from Hull who are struggling with migraine. Thousands of people from Hull who get migraine have sought the charity's help over the last year. Many have had questions about the condition and the treatment available, while others have sought help with managing migraine at work and accessing healthcare.
The charity, which funds research, and supports and campaigns for people affected by migraine in the UK, says that too many people in Hull are struggling with this serious neurological condition alone. The Migraine Trust is now inviting people from Hull who have migraine to an event to learn about the condition and how to manage it. It is taking place from 9am-1pm, on Saturday, 19th January, at the Lazaat Hotel and Restaurant, Cottingham.
The event will include presentations from migraine experts, including Dr Fayyaz Ahmed and Dr Modar Khalil from the Department of Neurology, Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. While Vicky Quarshie, a Headache Specialist Nurse, from the Headache Service at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, will talk about how and where to seek help.
Inviting people from Hull who get migraine to the event, Helen Balami, who runs The Migraine Trust's advocacy service, says:
"Migraine is a very hard condition to live with. It is not only excruciatingly painful, but can come with a range of symptoms such as nausea and vision impairment. It has a huge impact on the lives of people who get it – as many people in Hull will know.
"It is therefore crucial that people with migraine get the help they need and don't suffer alone. While there is currently no cure, it can often be effectively treated and that is why it is crucial that people with migraine are helped to understand their condition, their treatment options and where they can seek help."
Tickets for the event, which is being run in association with the British Association for the Study of Headache, are £5 (£3 concession). You can find out more about the event and register for a place here.

There are several problems with Bitcoin, but for a minute let's just look at the real-world environmental cost of all that digital wealth. Other people have written about this in the recent past, but energy consumption from Bitcoin mining is growing so rapidly that it's worth updating the numbers.
According to Blockchain, over the last 24 hours Bitcoin miners used an estimated 135,950.77 megawatt hours of electricity.
The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that every megawatt hour delivered in that country generates 1,307.2 lbs of carbon dioxide, or 593 kilos. That's based on an energy mix that includes 37% coal, 30% gas, and 19% nuclear. Mind you, if your computers are running in China, where the grid relies more heavily on coal, this consultancy estimates a carbon cost of 960 kilos per megawatt hour.
As a conservative estimate, let's round it off and say bitcoin mining generates 600 kilos of CO2 per MWh.
That means in the last 24 hours alone, Bitcoin miners have added 81,570 metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere.
Again, going back to the EPA's estimates, the average passenger vehicle in the US generates 5.1 metric tons of CO2 every year, or 13.97 kilos a day.
That means in the last 24 hours, bitcoin mining operations generated as much CO2 as 5,838,940 passenger vehicles.
And that's just the CO2 emissions — we're not counting the environmental or social impacts of real-world mining, which is where all that gas and coal and uranium comes from.
As the equations required to generate new Bitcoins become necessarily more complex, these real-world costs will only continue to rise. Not that I expect the people doing the mining to care. They burned $20 million worth of electricity in the last 24 hours for total commissions worth $3.6 million. Clearly that's not where they make their money.
Here's what I see: A few speculators getting rich off a currency bubble, at the expense of public energy providers and the rest of us who are trying to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Is that really the future?
UPDATE: Okay, I've clearly wandered down a rabbit hole with this Bitcoin post. I believe my original point stands, but first I have to address some questions of methodology.
It's been brought to my attention on Twitter that the energy use estimates on Blockchain.info are based on the assumption that computers tasked with mining are using traditional processors. However, this fall a series of mining-specific ASIC chips hit the market, delivering up to 10 times more energy efficiency.
The release of that new hardware has coincided with a sharp increase in the number of calculations being performed across the network, as illustrated by this chart. It seems fair to say that much of this new activity is happening on more efficient hardware. I haven't yet found an accurate estimate of how many people use the new chips and what the overall network efficiency would be.
Another wrinkle: Police in Germany arrested three suspects earlier this month on fraud charges. They're accused of using malware to, in effect, enslave unsuspecting peoples' computers to mine bitcoin for the benefit of the hackers. I doubt the victims have ASIC chips in their PCs. And you can also participate in this kind of outsourced mining voluntarily, again with a regular computer. So a certain proportion of overall calculations are being done by ordinary internet users, whether willing or unwilling. Again, I don't have an accurate estimate.
It looks like the complexity of Bitcoin verification will increase, and at the same time so will hardware efficiency. Clearly there's an arms race underway.
The reason I created this post is to point out that wealth accumulation of any kind requires that you submit to a formula that creates certain externalities. That's true of the existing global financial system, and it's true of online currencies. For now, the "value" of Bitcoin does not take into account the real-world consequences of digging coal out of the ground and burning it. The question is, can that continue forever?
Does nobody check their facts anymore?
Blockchain.info's calc is obsolete because it presumes GPUs are how mining occurs. An accurate computation shows electrical consumption of all mining today at about $25K USD per day — not $20 million.
This article is the result of… or a feeble attempt at… brainwashing. It is the same bogus science used by the "man made global warming" oh no… I mean "man made climate change" crowd. It is all BS in an attempt to establish a new world order, one world government dictatorship. And gullible ignoramus' like this auther buy right into it.
I'd be happy to lend you my tinfoil helmet.
Reminds me of the "plant food" argument of which fossil fuel lobbyists are so fond!
Dude, just pull this post. There's way too much wrong with it. The vague handwaving trying to generate fear and contempt for the rich and exclusive or whatever you're trying to do — it's not working. Your facts are wrong and Bitcoin is going in the opposite direction of everything you're trying to imply.
Wealth never comes from nowhere. No fear, no contempt.
"Wealth never comes from nowhere." — I've read that sentence 5 times and I don't understand it. Maybe you'd like to explain it? If you're trying to imply that something of value never springs out of nothing, you're completely wrong and I can think of so many examples I wouldn't know where to start.
Well, here's one to get things going: the domain name kaingata.com — was completely worthless before it existed and you registered it. Now it's got readership and is "monetizable" — hence, worth something. Out of nothing.
If my name has any value as a domain, which in my opinion is minimal, it's a result of work. Which requires calories. Speaking of which, it's time for dinner!
By that definition, there's nothing you can do that DOESN'T create value of some sort… everything that prevents the natural flow of entropy in the universe must be creating something of value. Which is nonsense, of course. And minimal is not the same as zero, anyway.
A more realistic number for tons of CO2 produced by Bitcoin per year is 394,200. The network is overwhelmingly ASIC, and 64 kW is typical for 10 TH/s of capacity, and that puts power utilization at around 65 MW total. Obviously, there's tons of flaws in my assumptions here, but this is likely well within an order of magnitude of the correct number.
Hey Kai. Environmentalists and Bitcoin enthusiasts aren't a mutually exclusive group, and I wish you hadn't framed it as such. As someone who's both, here's how I see it. Advocates for the environment and for Bitcoin want to disrupt the same thing, the way we're currently running the economy. They may not always agree on how to do it, but that doesn't mean there can't be a big overlap between the two Venn diagrams. New technologies are what we make of it, and people in the environmental movement could easily appropriate Bitcoin to its advantage.
But it's not like we should stop using the Internet because of this. Instead, we should use it to do the kind of work and make the kind of connections that can have bigger impacts and negate the damage we do. Same with Bitcoin, hopefully. The Bitcoin community would wholeheartedly rally around the first environmental organization to accept donations in bitcoins. At a small event at SFU of 60 people that I spoke at a month ago, we raised $1400 for Schools Building Schools on the spot in bitcoin donations during our 10-minute live fundraiser, with $500 of that as a matched donation from the founder of the Bitcoin Co-op. We chose them as our partner charity because the founder and president was willing to accept donations in bitcoin.
As you've said, early Bitcoin advocates and the later speculators are a newly wealthy bunch with a lot of money to spend. Just like you, we hate monopolies, bad bureaucracy, corporate wealth, and want to be engaged in our communities and are pretty much just waiting to be tapped into. If you know of an anti-Enbridge organization that is willing to try accepting bitcoins, do let me know and we can work something out.
i have a feeling that will accept btc, on that way bitcoin price will change a lot. It should and the Ebay integrate the bitcoin as a payment method. In this way while big e-commerce companies include this payment method the price of bitcoin will increase and people will be more interested to invest in bitcoin.

«Натянутый канат» () — альбом Владимира Высоцкого, записанный во Франции на студии  в сентябре 1977 года в сопровождении инструментального ансамбля. Аранжировки песен для альбома делал Константин Казански.

История создания
Константин Казански вспоминает:
В тот же самый 1977-й год, когда вышла «военная» пластинка на «Шан дю Монд», большой почитатель Высоцкого Жак Уревич, которого я уже упоминал, тоже захотел выпустить его пластинку. У нас с ним были разговоры об этом, и Уревич мне сказал: «Я не понимаю, как так получается. Когда ты делаешь аранжировки для Алёши Димитриевича, то каждая песня разная, а когда делаешь для Высоцкого, то там позади только гитары — и всё». Я ему ответил, что это не я, это Володя так хочет, это его вкус, а не мой. Уревич сказал: «Ладно, я с ним поговорю».

После разговора Уревича с Высоцким я получил карт-бланш — я мог делать такие аранжировки, которые хотел. И вот так получился альбом, выпущенный под названием «Натянутый канат» на студии «Полидор».

Bangladesh seeks US support to create safe zone in Rakhine for Rohingyas
Staff Correspondent
In Nation this week
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen meets with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington, D.C. on Monday, April 8, 2019. Photo: UNB
Responsibility for Rohingya crisis resolution rests with Myanmar, says US
Bangladesh has sought US support to create a safe zone in Rakhine for Rohingyas which will be monitored by international human rights groups and mount credible global pressure on Myanmar for their safe return.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington, D.C. on Monday and discussed the issue.
This was the first meeting between the two leaders since their assumption of office in respective governments.
Secretary Pompeo stressed that the responsibility for resolution of Rohingya crisis rests with Myanmar, which must create the necessary conditions for voluntary repatriation.
Pompeo emphasised how they will work with the international community to increase support for Rohingyas and host communities, while addressing the root causes and conditions in Myanmar.
He lauded Bangladesh's generosity in continuing to host over one million Rohingyas from Myanmar, said US State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus.
Deportation of Bangabandhu's killer Rashed Chowdhury from the USA to Bangladesh, shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific, US investment in Bangladesh, duty- and quota-free access of Bangladesh's garments products in the US market and US-Bangladesh partnership in multiple sectors were also discussed at the meeting apart from Rohingya issue, according to the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington.
Dr Momen informed Bangladesh at its own expense has developed the island "Bhashanchar" into a livable place in which one lakh Rohingyas are planned to be relocated in coordination with UN agencies and different aid groups.
The US Secretary of State re-assured that the one million-plus forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals have to return to Myanmar without any form of fear and persecution.
He said it is the responsibility of the Myanmar government and military to create conducive environment so that the Rohingyas feel safe to return home.
The US Secretary of State reiterated that US would stand beside Bangladesh (both politically and financially) in finding a permanent solution to the Rohingya crisis.
He also lauded the humanitarian gesture of the government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for temporarily sheltering the persecuted Rohingyas.
Regarding deportation of Bangabandhu's self-confessed and convicted killer Rashed Chowdhury from the USA, the Bangladesh Foreign Minister pointed out that he is fleeing justice.
He said this is essential to carry out a vital common agenda of both countries pertaining to Counter-terrorism and Countering-Violent Extremism and upholding the rule of law.
Both leaders agreed that for greater prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region, vital energy and infrastructure projects need to be implemented on regional partnership basis.
In that respect, leaders of the region need to work together on issues such as governance, accountability, the rule of law and maritime security.
Dr Momen stated that Bangladesh is lauded internationally for its impressive development journey.
He sought more investment from the USA in the oil and gas sector and US presence in the Special Economic Zones.
Foreign Minister Momen sought US support to the candidature of Bangladesh in the upcoming election to the post of Deputy Director General of International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Secretary Pompeo emphasised the importance of advancing good governance, transparency, and democratic values, as Bangladesh continues its emergence as a key partner in the Indo-Pacific, according to the US Department of State.
Later in the day, the Foreign Minister had meetings with senior officials of the US State Department and Deputy National Security Adviser Charles Kupperman.
Bangladesh Ambassador to the USA Ambassador Mohammad Ziauddin accompanied the minister at the meetings.

Chief Says She Was Fired For 'Upholding The Law,' Plans To Fight For Her Job
Sandy MaloneNovember 16, 2020
Portsmouth, VA – City officials fired Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene on Monday without giving her a reason, but the now-former chief said she planned to fight back.
"I believe I was wrongfully terminated for upholding the law, and [I'm] being retaliated against for sticking to my sworn oath; that I swore to serve and protect my citizens, community, and keeping my officers safe " Chief Greene told reporters and supporters at a press conference in front of City Hall on Nov. 16.
"Twenty years… hard work. I never thought it would have ended this way," she said.
Chief Green's termination came just a little more than two months after she was suspended by then-Portsmouth City Manager Lydia Pettis Patton, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
The incident that sparked the controversy between the city leadership and the popular police chief who took the helm at the department in March of 2019, began after a violent protest at the city's Confederate monument on June 10.
City leaders had postponed yet another a vote on whether to move the monument and protesters gathered for a rally around it and began spray-painting the historic monument, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
Later in the evening, protesters beheaded four statues of soldiers on the monument.
One of the heads fell and landed on somebody, seriously injuring him, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
Then-Chief Greene infuriated city leadership in August when she brought charges against 14 of the people involved in the riot, including Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas, several National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) leaders, multiple public defenders, and a school board member.
All 14 people were charged with felony injury to a monument, and eight of them were also charged with conspiracy, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
Five more protesters were charged later.
But a few days later, Pettis Patton sent an email to the city council that said Portsmouth police were dropping the charges because of a conflict of interest, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
The now-former city manager never explained what the conflict of interest was.
But the attorney for former Chief Greene, Thomas K. Plofchan, Jr., said that no conflict of interest existed, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
"She is unfortunately the victim of political infighting," Plofchan said. "She was a neutral employee hired to faithfully execute the laws, and when she did so, political powers that be bristled at that."
Pettis Patton also announced on Sept. 4 that she had placed Chief Greene on administrative leave pending an investigation into her personnel file, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
No information about that investigation was released.
And then on Monday morning, a judge dismissed the charges against everyone from the June protest and Interim Portsmouth City Manager LaVoris Pace handed Chief Greene her walking papers, WAVY reported.

"I was terminated and I am one less badge and one less gun," the chief told reporters when she left the meeting with Pace.

She said that the city manager had handed her a resignation letter but hadn't given her any explanation for her termination other than that she was an "at-will" employee, WAVY reported.
The now-former police chief, who has children and cares for an elderly parent, said the city didn't give her any severance pay.
She told reporters that she wanted her job back and she planned to file a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city to get it, WAVY reported.
"I believe what would be fair is full reinstatement, because I did nothing wrong. That would be fair, that would be my first option," the angry veteran law enforcement officer said.
Portsmouth Police Captain Steve Hassell, the head of the Portsmouth Chaplains' Unit, said that the former police chief has a lot of support from inside the department, WAVY reported.
"I've been involved with the police department 44 years. I have served under 13 chiefs, and by far, Chief Greene is the best chief Portsmouth has ever had," Capt. Hassell said.

Sorrell v. IMS Health Inc.
Sorrell, Attorney General of Vermont, et al. v . IMS Health Inc. et al.
Judgement for defendants, 631 F. Supp. 2d 434 (D. Vt. 2009); reversed and remanded, 630 F.3d 263 (2nd Cir. 2010); cert. granted, 562 U.S. 1127 (2011).
A Vermont statute that restricted the sale, disclosure, and use of records that revealed the prescribing practices of individual doctors violated the First Amendment.
In 2007, Vermont passed the Prescription Confidentiality Law that required, among other things, that records containing a doctor's prescribing practices not be sold or used for marketing purposes unless the doctor consented. The law was a response to a Vermont Medical Society resolution stating that using the prescribing history of doctors in marketing was an intrusion into the way doctors practice medicine. The Vermont Medical Society had found that the marketing efforts of pharmaceutical companies used in large part the data of individual doctors' prescribing patterns, sold to the companies by pharmacies without the doctors' consent and successfully lobbied the Vermont legislature to enact the law.
Data mining companies and pharmaceutical manufactures contended that the law violated their First Amendment rights and sought declaratory and injunctive relief against Vermont officials.[B] The United States District Court for the District of Vermont denied relief; the plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit which reversed, holding that the law violated the First Amendment by restricting the speech of the companies without adequate justification.[C] Vermont's Attorney General appealed to the Supreme Court, which granted certiorari to resolve the contradiction of a ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which had upheld similar laws in New Hampshire and Maine, concluding that the laws regulated economic conduct, not commercial speech.

Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court, which Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, and Justice Sotomayor joined. The Court held that the law violated the First Amendment and affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
Justice Breyer, the author of the opinion for the dissent.
^ "Vermont law restricts the sale, disclosure, and use of pharmacy records that reveal the prescribing practices of individual doctors... Speech in aid of pharmaceutical marketing, however, is a form of expression protected by the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. As a consequence, Vermont's statute must be subjected to heightened judicial scrutiny. The law cannot satisfy that standard.", Page 1.
^ "The present case involves two consolidated suits. One was brought by three Vermont data miners, the other by an association of pharmaceutical manufacturers that produce brand-name drugs. These entities are the respondents here. Contending that [the Prescription Confidentiality Law] violates their First Amendment rights as incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment, the respondents sought declaratory and injunctive relief against the petitioners, the Attorney General and other officials of the State of Vermont.", pp 5-6.
^ "After a bench trial, the United States District Court for the District of Vermont denied relief.... The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed and remanded. It held that [the Prescription Confidentiality Law] violates the First Amendment by burdening the speech of pharmaceutical marketers and data miners without an adequate justification.", p 6.
^ "On its face, Vermont's law enacts content and speaker based restrictions on the sale, disclosure, and use of prescriber-identifying information.", p 8.
^ "Act 80 is designed to impose a specific, content-based burden on protected expression. It follows that heightened judicial scrutiny is warranted. See Cincinnati v. Discovery Network, Inc", p 9.
^ "[the law] imposes more than an incidental burden on protected expression. Both on its face and in its practical operation, Vermont's law imposes a burden based on the content of speech and the identity of the speaker.", p 11.
^ "To sustain the targeted, content-based burden [the law] imposes on protected expression, the State must show at least that the statute directly advances a substantial governmental interest", p 16.
^ "The State's asserted justifications for [the law] come under two general headings. First, the State contends that its law is necessary to protect medical privacy, including physician confidentiality, avoidance of harassment, and the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship. Second, the State argues that [the law] is integral to the achievement of policy objectives—namely, improved public health and reduced healthcare costs. Neither justification withstands scrutiny.", pp 16-17.
^ "I would ask whether Vermont's regulatory provisions work harm to First Amendment interests that is disproportionate to their furtherance of legitimate regulatory objectives. And in doing so, I would give significant weight to legitimate commercial regulatory objectives- as this Court did in 'Glickman'. The far stricter, specially 'heightened' First Amendment standards that the majority would apply to this instance of commercial regulation are out of place here.", p 2.
^ "to apply a 'heightened' First Amendment standard of review whenever such a program burdens speech would transfer from legislatures to judges the primary power to weigh ends and to choose means, threatening to distort or undermine legitimate legislative objectives.", p 5.

We must be careful not to confuse fulfilling our personal and professional accountability (to stand up in situations where employees are being mistreated, exploited or intimidated) as being sufficient and equivalent to actually prevent sexual harassment in our organizations. As demonstrated by the breadth of the revelations to date (which the stats suggest represent only the tip of the iceberg) this is a systemic problem. To address it we'll need to take individual responsibility, and look beyond our individual actions to the system(s) like corporate power structures, that enable it to occur so frequently.
We need to seek to understand how these systems work against victims and against anyone who seeks to challenge the status quo. Not in order to excuse the actions of HR professionals who contributed to silencing victims or failed to expose the terrible incidents recently revealed, but as a means to educate ourselves about how HR might play a role in actually preventing sexual harassment going forward.
Keeping the conversation at the level of individual accountability and actions is not going to be enough to create the kind of change we need in organizations and society. Not when our organizations present structural barriers that limit HR's ability to call powerful harassers to account, and incentivize containment over exposure.
In the long wake of these recent revelations, the most common prescription I'm seeing for HR as a profession is a strong dose of individual courage, an urging to embrace our obligation to 'speak truth to power'. I'm sure I'm not the only one drawn to this idealized version of HR, as fearless moral champion. And yet, it seems both impractical and terribly reckless to suggest that a heroic HR professional is a necessary bulwark to prevent those in power from sexually harassing their employees. This is where I get all ranty about people asking 'where was HR?' as though we're leaving children alone with rabid grizzly bears.
Effective HR people must be willing and able to challenge those in power when there is questionable behavior, but that shouldn't be a frequent requirement! If it is, then HR isn't the problem, the rabid grizzly bear leader is, and even the most practiced and influential HR professional isn't going to be able to change that person. (Obviously it is still entirely incumbent on them to report and/or expose such behavior, not clean up the mess or manage the fall-out).
If it isn't yet crystal clear, our orgs are set up not to hear about sexual harassment. Yes, we have policies and procedures and do training. And it doesn't work. Estimates suggest that harassment is pervasive (4 in 10 women), and that up to 70% of women who are harassed do not report it. When it is reported, a lengthy investigation can ensue, and regardless of the outcome, many victims will end up leaving the organization. We can't prevent and address what we don't see and don't know, and it should be clear that an absence of sexual harassment complaints does not necessarily equate to an absence of sexual harassment. Some HR people will say "Victims should know that HR is here to help", but it should be clear that as a profession we have not earned that trust.
Organizations aren't built to protect harassers and abusers, but they are built to protect the status quo and existing power structures, which can sometimes lead to the same result. Assuming that the organizations we are working on, and in, are benevolent systems is a mistake we cannot afford to make.
Many of the stories shared in the last few months involve harassers who were senior leaders, or top performers who has the endorsement of the powerful in their organizations and industries. Where there was an HR function, they were accountable to those same leaders or people in power.
If HR ever was a function that had the influence to effectively challenge organizational orthodoxies and power, that time may be behind us. For as long as I've been in HR the profession has been maligned, encouraged to "find ways to say yes", told to "be strategic" rather than a bureaucratic "compliance function", and bombarded with articles about what the CEO "wants from HR and isn't getting". The most sought after model has been one that makes HR people "business partners". I wonder how a victim of harassment might interpret that title, what predictions she (or he) might make about the support she can expect from a "business partner".
Have some experienced, intelligent, and brave HR practitioners navigated their organizations to do both? Absolutely (they're my role models). But it's hard to 'get a seat at the table' while loudly claiming our right to light the table on fire. Can we bet the safety of our employees and the reputation of our profession on the average HR person having the nuanced understanding and skills to walk this knife-edge? Definitely not.
We cannot see this simply as a matter of perfecting and more consistently administering the processes and procedures that have passed for 'best practices' when it comes to sexual harassment. These practices are based on shaky assumptions, have been eroded over time to be little more than liability reduction checkboxes, and are completely sanitized of any hint of the human suffering that they supposedly prevent.
Are these practices informed by what victims or vulnerable workers need and want? Of course not. Are they based on evidence about their efficacy? Nope. Do we seriously believe that an hour or two of lecture or eLearning will shift behavior based on lifelong, deeply help beliefs about gender and consent? I sincerely hope not. The research suggests it does not, and may in fact have the opposite effect.
Nor is the answer to point to 'culture change', which is as ambiguous an objective as one can set, and in many cases means that the organization is going to do very little with no idea of whether it will actually change anything.
I have given this topic a lot of time and thought these last few months. I'm trying to absorb the research about organizational risk factors for sexual harassment, and what might actually work to address it. There are ideas out there, some of which are based on sound research. I've read about increasing women in leadership roles, bystander training, active participation of senior male leaders in redesigned training, identifying and supporting vulnerable groups of workers, measuring training impact, shifting HR to report to the board, anonymous complaint reporting, investigation processes designed with the victim in mind, attestation by board members or executives about the handling of sexual harassment complaints, ombudspersons, and more.
I agree that for HR, it has to start with each of us reflecting on our accountability and "picking a side" (as the great Melissa Nightingale said at DisruptHR Toronto this week). But we can't stop there. This is a conversation we need to have as a profession and in our organizations, grounded in reality, not in theoreticals and "best practices' that aren't working.
How can HR contribute to preventing workplace sexual harassment? I intend to spend time and energy in 2018 trying to figure it out, but I (obviously) can't do that on my own. If this is a topic that interests you, or you know people doing related work, I would be thrilled to hear about it.
"Through what they systematically pay attention to, leaders distinguish between what they find more important and what is less so. That, in turn, serves to form the habits that are the bedrock of the organization's culture.
If you are not familiar with Allon's thought-provoking blog, let this be your introduction. I admire his brevity and his storytelling, informed by a long career in OD.
"To forge inclusive workplaces, we must push for transformational change by asking the right questions until CEOs and boards accept accountability. The stories of discrimination and abuse are being told, but leaders are not taking responsibility for creating a culture to prevent inappropriate actions and punish violators in the future. History will repeat itself, I promise you, until all those responsible are held accountable.
I agree with the gist of this article. Thinking in terms of Bowen systems theory, if HR is operating like the cops to prevent sexual harassment, then they are being tasked with over-functioning in the system, and the rest of the system is invited to under-function. Alignment on any issue or goal must begin at the top of the hierarchy and cascade downward. Responsibility must be spread evenly and effectively. Support functions such as HR can then have the conditions for providing effective support on difficult issues such as this. Harassment must be defined as clearly as possible, and then the CEO must be clean (no guarantee) and clear with their direct reports and the organization that it will not be tolerated and victims will be treated with respect.

Bellway Homes has kicked-off the spring season with the unveiling of two stylish new showhomes, the Rosebery and the Bannerman, at the company's West Lothian development – Hanlin Park.
Situated within the town of Armadale, Hanlin Park forms part of an exciting £200 million regeneration initiative taking place, which encompasses an extensive range of new facilities including a railway station, primary school, health centre, hotel, community centre, supermarket, shops and cafes, creating a flourishing new neighbourhood.
Fraser Conn, Sales and Marketing Director at Bellway Homes, said: "This is a significant project to be involved in and we have ensured that the mix of properties available at Hanlin Park provide an opportunity for a variety of buyers to secure a new home within this dynamic setting.
On entering the well-planned three-bedroom detached Rosebery, the lounge exudes a feeling of calmness from every corner of the room. Two white leather sofas invite viewers to sit down and soak up the relaxing ambience. A splash of colour is added from a mix of rich purple and smoky grey velvet and satin scatter cushions. The white TV cabinet contrasts perfectly with the large black plasma screen. A block of silver embossed wallpaper behind the TV cabinet, set against a white wall, cleverly imitates a large film screen.
The adjoining dining room features six white sculpted dining chairs, seated around a rectangular table with opaque glass top, which would not look out of place on the movie set of a highly stylised sci-fi film and are certain to make any dining experience one of total comfort. Light floods this room via the French doors that lead out to the rear garden and the delicate muslin curtains ensure maximum solar gain whatever the season. The French doors are bordered by a wall painted in soft lavender, which adds warmth to the room. The black pelmet above the French doors, ebony shade of the standard lamp and striking charcoal frame that adorns the large wall mounted mirror all add a touch of drama.
Moving from the dining room into the kitchen, again Bellway Homes employs a deft hand in the interior design, generating another calm surrounding. The slate effect flooring and integrated stainless steel oven, hob and cookerhood harmonise with the pristine white cabinetry of the fitted units. A downstairs cloakroom and integrated garage with utility area complete this level of the Rosebery.
On the upper floor of the property, three beautifully presented bedrooms have been tastefully decorated to provide the perfect environment for rest and relaxation.
The en-suite master-bedroom features a sumptuous champagne coloured satin bedspread that seamlessly blends with the fawn carpet. Chocolate coloured velvet scatter cushions and a block of gold and brown striped wallpaper to the back of the white head board generate effortless luxury. The elegant white bedside tables match the headboard and each displays a striking lamp with a shimmering silver base adorned by crisp white shades.
Bedroom two uses a similar palette to the master-bedroom in terms of the bed linen and carpet. However, the chenille purple cushions and matching headboard, set against pale lilac walls, and the mirrored beside tables suggest that this room has been dressed for the young lady of the house. Bedroom three is a complete departure from the rest of the property and would make the ideal guest room or home office. A room of perfect symmetry, white walls contrast with the black bedspread, high gloss ebony desk and chair.
Next door, while the colour and tones used throughout the four-bedroom detached Bannerman differ from the Rosebery, the theme of 'less is more' continues.
Two hessian taupe coloured sofas are positioned to take full advantage of an inventive feature within the lounge – Bellway's take on a modern fireplace. A plasma screen is hung against a striking ebony TV cabinet that is similar in shape to a traditional fireplace, making a modern hearth in the centre of the lounge. Two large circular mirrors are positioned either side of the TV cabinet giving the impression of porthole windows. To the far end of the lounge in front of the bay widow, a leather toffee coloured swivel chair is the perfect place for 'Kindleing' up with your favourite book.
The kitchen of the Bannerman is certain to be the hub of this family home. White high gloss wall units and matching worktops and tiled flooring harmonise with the fitted walnut kitchen cupboards. Adjoining the kitchen is the dining area, where six black leather chairs are placed around a glass dining table in front the patio doors, creating a light and airy space. A separate utility room neighbours he kitchen and benefits from the same walnut units, allowing both rooms flow together.
One of the key attractive features of the Bannerman is that a separate family room is accessed next to the dining area of the kitchen. An assortment the three divan style sofas in soft caramel adorned with an abundance of scatter cushions is the perfect place to snuggle and enjoy family movies on the wall mounted plasma screen or fun on the Wii or Xbox.
The four-bedrooms on the upper level of the Bannerman each provide a very gown up interior, nowhere more so than the master-bedroom. The bitter chocolate bed linen, two black leather swivel chairs and ebony headboard, which runs horizontally the full length of the wall, are interspersed with softer tones via silver scatter cushions and the chrome base and white shade of the lamps on the bedside shelves. Above the headboard, silver and grey vertical striped wallpaper produce the effected of stylish corrugated metal pipes, fashioning the look of a bespoke urban hotel or New York apartment.
The ebony and ivory theme, with accents of soft caramel and silver, continues within the second and third bedrooms – however, bedroom four is a complete contrast. The sandy tones of the carpet, white duvet cover, fawn cushions and Eqyptian gold band that runs through the middle of the curtains will remind viewers that summer isn't too far away. A border of wallpaper made up of blocks of silver, white and taupe squares runs on along each wall, achieving a mosaic effect.
As with all the properties at Hanlin Park, both showhomes exhibit a superior specification and finish, from quality tiling within the bathrooms and en-suites to attractive integrated appliances in the kitchens and a wide choice of floor coverings and fitted kitchen units from Bellway's extensive options collection.
Further adding to the appeal of life at Hanlin Park is that Bellway has a number of tailored incentives available for buyers to choose from including Express Mover, Part Exchange and 5% Deposit Paid.
Aside from the substantial regeneration taking place close to the development, Armadale has a wealth of social and leisure pursuits including the Xcite Leisure Centre, Polkemmet County Park, with its nine-hole course and Bridgecastle Golf Club. The town is an ideal commuter destination, as the new rail line now provides a regular service between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The M8 is also easily accessed for travelling to Livingston, Linlithgow and Bathgate as well as across much of the central belt and beyond.

Entering the third year of my term on the Vivit Board of Directors, I am very excited by all of the opportunities that we are presented with at this time. Recently appointed by my peers to the President position, I am humbled by the chance to work with such a great group of Board members, chapter leaders, staff, and most importantly, the user community which makes this organization so great.
We recently launched a long awaited Vivit website community which is vibrant, well organized and easy to use. We continue to migrate all of the functionality of the old site and introduce new features so that it makes for a better user experience.
Recently, we held our semiannual face-to-face Board meeting which took place at HP Discover in Las Vegas. The board reviewed overall organizational health and current direction. The stability and health is at the highest point in many years both as an organization and in membership.
We also held a chapter and SIG leader meeting at the conference which provided the perfect opportunity to discuss improving processes, relationships, and tools to serve the entire community even better. We can't thank Vivit chapter and SIG leaders enough for their hard work throughout the year as well as their participation in the Vivit exhibit at HP DISCOVER.
Vivit members also convened for the annual meeting, followed by deep dive round table discussions. We presented the status of the user community in an open forum, Karen Semonson passed the "President" torch to me, and then members shared their knowledge and best-practices on HP Service Management, Functional Testing with BPT/QTP, Performance Testing and Engineering, and Quality Center API.
The Advanced HP Software Implementation Training organized by Jim Murphy, Vice President, was another success. Subject matter experts from the Vivit community provided eight different deep-dive training sessions in the hours leading up to HP DISCOVER.
To top it off, we co-hosted a user community appreciation party for existing and new members. We presented Laura Walker with the 2011 Leader of the Year award for the Americas region.
In my opinion, HP DISCOVER was one of the most exciting events in the past several years. The combination of the various conferences, as well as bringing the hardware and software constituents together, worked out better than I had imagined. Appealing to and surpassing 10,000 attendees was a feat in itself, but the way in which the event was organized, as well as the DISCOVER Zone show floor, lent itself to fantastic collaboration and presentation.
I would also be remiss if I did not mention the phenomenal exclusive musical event. I have no idea how Paul McCartney could be topped, but I am excited to find out next year!
Likely, what I am most excited about is the current state of our local chapters and membership. We have a very active user base which is reflective in the individuals who make up Vivit. The new chapters which have improved the global presence of the organization are key to further success. I am also excited for our next meeting in conjunction with HP DISCOVER in Vienna later this year to see how we build upon the successes of the first part of the year.
Vivit will continue partnering with HP, partners and other user groups while we remain your independent voice of the HP Software User Community, promoting community, education and advocacy. Check out the new website and all is has to offer. Be sure to update your profile.

En escacs, els peons doblats són dos o més peons del mateix color que es troben a la mateixa columna. Els peons poden esdevenir doblats únicament quan un peó captura en una columna en què ja hi ha un altre peó del mateix bàndol. En el diagrama, els peons blancs de les columnes b i e estan doblats. Els peons a la columna e són peons doblats i aïllats.

En molts casos, els peons doblats es consideren una debilitat a causa de la seva impossibilitat de defensar-se els uns als altres. Aquesta incapacitat, de fet, fa més difícil aconseguir avançar-los per poder crear un peó passat (freqüentment un factor decisiu en els finals). En el cas de peons doblats aïllats, aquests problemes s'agreugen. Diverses estratègies i obertures es basen a carregar l'oponent amb peons doblats, que són una debilitat estratègica.

Hi ha casos, però, en què acceptar peons doblats pot ser avantatjós perquè es pot obrir una columna per a una torre o perquè els peons doblats realitzen funcions importants, com ara defensar caselles clau. També, si l'oponent no pot atacar de forma efectiva els peons, la seva debilitat inherent pot ser de poca o cap importància. També hi ha diverses obertures que accepten peons doblats a canvi d'algun avantatge privilegiat, com en la "variant dels dos cavalls" de la defensa Alekhine.

Peons triplicats i quadruplicats

Hom pot tenir peons triplicats (o més). El primer diagrama mostra una posició d'una partida de Lubomir Kavalek contra Bobby Fischer al torneig Interzonal de Sousse de 1967. Els peons van romandre triplicats al final de la partida en el moviment 28, que acabà en (taules).

Es va arribar a una posició amb peons quadruplicats en la partida Aleksandr Alekhin contra Vladímir Nenarokov el 1907, també a John van der Wiel contra Vlastimil Hort el 1981, i en altres partides. El cas en què els peons quadruplicats es van mantenir durant més estona fou a la partida Kovacs contra Barth el 1994, durant 23 moviments. La posició final va ser taules, cosa que demostra la debilitat dels peons extra (vegeu el diagrama).

Tipus de peons doblats

Hi ha diferents tipus de peons doblats, (vegeu el diagrama). Un peó doblat és feble a causa de tres consideracions:
 Manca de mobilitat
 Impossibilitat d'actuar com un peó normal
 Probabilitat que no pugui canviar-se per un peó normal oposat
Els peons doblats a la columna b estan en la millor situació, ja que no estan aïllats. Els peons de la columna f són els següents quant a situació, ja que estan aïllats però un d'ells pot ser canviat pel peó negre de la columna e, cosa que els desdoblaria. Els peons de la columna h són els que estan en pitjor situació, ja que tenen un sol peó al davant, de manera que el segon peó té poc o cap valor. . Vegeu al respecte valor relatiu de les peces d'escacs.
