Rethink Robotics suddenly closed its doors on Oct. 3, 2018, citing poor sales of its cobots Sawyer and Baxter. Rethink was founded in 2008 and was well known for its anthropomorphic cobots Baxter and Sawyer, which each featured a face on the screens attached to the cobot arm.
As part of the transaction, HAHN Group has acquired all patents and trademarks of Rethink Robotics, as well as its software platform INTERA5, used to program the Rethink suite of collaborative robots.
HAHN Group, which has been in the robotics space for 30 years, says it intends to further develop Rethink Robotics' technology, with the goal of combining it with German engineering of industrial applications. HAHN Group also intends to make the software platform available to suitable partners through licensing or other arrangements.
In addition to its integration business (operated by HAHN Robotics) and renting offerings (operated by HAHN RobShare), the business unit Rethink Robotics will become the third pillar of the HAHN Group's robotic division.
"The acquisition of Rethink Robotic's technology marks an important milestone for the development of our portfolio of collaborative robotics solutions," said Thomas Hähn, CEO of HAHN Group. "This transaction will bring us not only a boost in innovative technologies but also access to highly specialized know-how in one of the most dynamic future markets. We are very pleased that we could convince the owners of Rethink Robotics to agree to the sale of its robotic technology around the cobot 'Sawyer' as well as the INTERA5 software."
In other Rethink Robotics news, Universal Robots also announced today that it has hired more than 20 former Rethink staff.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Scripture Images
Our mission is simple: Art and Christianity no longer resonate as an inherent, magnificent pairing. Actually it is a feeling that goes both ways: most Christians no longer see Art as being important or even as a relevant way of promoting the faith; and non believers don't value Christianity as having been at the forefront of the arts throughout the centuries, responsible for creating some of the most magnificent artworks out there. Our offering is simple: one newsletter a day where we simply send you the Gospel reading of the day, alongside a work of art that we believe is poignant, reflective and appropriate to that reading. We offer a short reflection on the artwork and the reading. We simply give you the tools for you to meditate on the daily Gospel alongside a work of art. We are an apostolate within the Roman Catholic Church, based in London. Biblical Verses Image
Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. Biblical Verses Image
But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
How true this is.  You can put lipstick and earrings on a pig but inwardly they're still a pig so Peter writes that "the hidden person of the heart" is precious to God and the "imperishable beauty of a gentle and quite spirit" to God is "very precious" and that's all that matters eternally.  We'll all get new bodies someday anyway and so why should we be so preoccupied with what we look like when God only cares about what we are like on the inside?

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, ... Biblical Verses Image
Paul knew that the outward man or woman was perishing, day by day, and as he said "was wasting away" but the most important work was being done inwardly by the Spirit of God and this was the renewal that each believer in Christ is undergoing, day by day. God's Spirit works to convict us of sin, He works to make us more like Christ, and our sanctification is a lifelong process and even though we might be falling apart outwardly, what is eternal is what is inside and that's the only thing that counts. We are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) even though the outward appearance is decaying, so that's why Paul didn't want us to lose heart. Christian Images
Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." Scripture Images
While many white musicians gravitated toward country, folk, and old-timey music to express their spirituality outside of traditional Christian hymns, Black Gospel music drew heavily upon the traditional spirituals that had been passed down from the days of slavery, picking up its more driving rhythmic emphasis from blues and early jazz. Composer and singer Thomas A. Dorsey crystallized the style in 1932 with his epochal "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," and went on to compose a great many songs that later became standards. When performed in the churches, the music was traditionally sung by a choir, with individual soloists sometimes taking the spotlight; this often happened in a form known as "call and response," in which either the choir or the soloist would repeat and/or answer the lyric which had just been sung by the other, with the soloist improvising embellishments of the melody for greater emphasis. As the music developed, these soloists became more and more virtuosic, performing with wild emotion (and, in the South, physicality) in order to properly express the spiritual ecstasy the music was meant to evoke. The music was quite egalitarian in terms of gender, as both male and female performers -- Brother Joe May, Rev. James Cleveland, Mahalia Jackson, the Clara Ward Singers, etc. -- gained wide renown among both black and white audiences. The small-group format was also prevalent, with major figures including the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, the Soul Stirrers, the Swan Silvertones, and the Dixie Hummingbirds; in general, these groups placed a greater premium on smooth vocal harmonies, although some performances could approach the raucous energy (if not quite the huge sound) of a choir-with-soloist group. As the years progressed, black gospel and black popular music influenced and borrowed from one another, reflecting the gradual change of emphasis toward R&B; black gospel also had an enormous impact on the development of soul music, which directed gospel's spiritual intensity into more secular concerns, and included a great many performers whose musical skills were developed in the church. As a recognizable style unto itself, black gospel music largely ceased to develop around the 1970s; progressing racial attitudes had helped black popular music reach wider audiences (and become more lucrative) than ever before, and tastes had turned towards the earthy hedonism of funk and the highly arranged, sophisticated Philly soul sound. The former wasn't quite appropriate for worship, and it wasn't all that practical to duplicate the latter in church services. However, the traditional black gospel sound survived intact and was eventually augmented by contemporary gospel (an '80s/'90s variation strongly influenced by latter-day urban R&B); plus, singers like Whitney Houston continued to develop within its ranks. Biblical Verses Image
God has made us exactly the way that it pleased Him and we all must remember that God has chosen the weak and the base of the world (1 Cor 1:27) and what the world considers despised and lowly (1 Cor 1:28) is important to God and that's all that matters, isn't it? He looks at the inward parts of the human heart, not the outward appearance, so don't worry about what the body looks like, be concerned with the things that God sees because in the end, that's all that's important and that's all that really matters. What others think is nothing…what God knows is everything. Biblical Verses Image

Gospel music is one of the oldest forms of music. With its origins being traced back as far as the 17th century, Gospel singers have preached the words of the good book for centuries and are making some of the best gospel and Christian songs of 2018. Gospel singers for a long time had to sing without musical accompaniment outside of clapping and stomping - black gospel music has a strong tradition of using the human hands and feet as instruments. More recently, these hymns and songs feature the same strong harmonies, but also organs to tambourines to electric guitars. Beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, gospel artists became some of the most popular singers in the world. The best gospel singers are wildly popular in the Christian community are closely associated with other Christian singers. Today, within the Christian community, gospel singers are as, if not more popular than Christian rock bands, which is saying a lot. Christian Images
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? ... Scripture Images

People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

Why Paycheck Protection Makes Sense
Posted by The DIS Sales Team on Mon, Oct 22, 2018 @ 13:10 PM
Do remember your first paycheck? It's a big milestone in a person's life, providing not only money but also independence. A paycheck gives us the means to survive as well as the ability to pursue the lifestyle and the future we envision for ourselves. Once we start earning a paycheck, we may take it for granted – but what happens when our ability to earn a paycheck ends?
Where Do Our Paychecks Go?
If it seems like most of your paycheck is gone as soon as you get it, you're not alone.

Although some people manage to squirrel away funds for retirement and other future plans, many do not. A 2017 survey from CareerBuilder found that 78 percent of U.S. workers are living paycheck to paycheck. Women are especially likely to live paycheck to paycheck at 81 percent.
This means that if a paycheck stops, it will be missed immediately.
How Many Paychecks Does the Average Person Earn?
Many workers in the U.S. are paid every other week, which means that they'll earn 26 paychecks each year. How many years a person works varies, both because people enter the workforce at different ages and because people retire at different ages. A person who works for 40 years will earn 1,040 biweekly paychecks.
Many people assume that they'll keep earning paychecks until they decide to retire. Unfortunately, this decision is often taken out of people's hands. Some people who want to continue working may be forced to stop due to disability.
It's more common than most people want to believe. According to the Social Security Administration, more than one in four of today's 20-year-olds will become disabled before they reach retirement age.
How Can People Protect Their Paychecks?
People are used to using insurance to protect the things that matter to them, whether it's their house, their car or their health.
But what about paychecks? A paycheck is one of the most valuable things a person has, so it makes sense for people to get paycheck protection, too. Disability insurance offers an important safety net for anyone who depends on a paycheck. Contrary to popular belief, it's not just for doctors. Middle income professionals need paycheck protection too. Share this message with your clients. Help them understand that their paychecks DESERVE protection.

Supporting multi-national business on UK restructuring
We represented a global corporate in relation to the restructuring of its UK operations and the impact of this on its UK registered defined benefit scheme.
The scheme is closed to new entrants but still open to the continued accrual of pension benefits for existing members. It has several participating employers, each employing active members. The planned restructuring involved the sale of a significant part of the UK business and operations of the company. This would have resulted in a significant pensions exit debt payable by the company. We advised on a number of options to mitigate the section 75 debt.
After the restructuring, the scheme would still have some active members who were employed in the UK and seconded overseas to group companies spread across the world.
The overall employment strategy was to localise the employment contracts and as a consequence of this cease pension accrual under the UK scheme. We advised on the pensions implications of this exercise.

Advocates, lawmakers hope Pa. House power shift opens door for election law changes
Stephen Caruso, Spotlight PA, and Carter Walker, Votebeat
As Pennsylvania prepares for a power shift in the statehouse, advocates and lawmakers share their wishlist of election law changes. (Tom Gralish/The Philadelphia Inquirer)
This story originally appeared on Spotlight PA.
Pennsylvania lawmakers agree on one thing: the commonwealth needs to rewrite its election laws.
Then, the disagreements start.
In the two years since the 2020 election exposed gaps in the state's voting law, the then-GOP-controlled House and Senate have been almost completely deadlocked with Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf over which changes to make.
But that dynamic could shift in the upcoming session, as Democrats have flipped the Pennsylvania House (albeit tenuously) and will maintain control of the governor's mansion, giving Democrats more leverage to advance a policy agenda. And lawmakers, lobbyists, and voting advocates are lining up with their lists of priorities.
Their main takeaway? Neither party is going to get everything they want, but there's room to cut some kind of a deal.
But that will require lawmakers to "see that voters voted against theatrics in this past election" and try to accomplish something rather than engage in partisan bickering, said Kadida Kenner of voting rights group New Pennsylvania Project.
Some of lawmakers' big goals aren't that controversial. Asked for a top priority during a celebratory press conference the day after Election Day, top House Democrat Matt Bradford (D., Montgomery) said the chamber's focus would be on giving counties time before Election Day to process mail-in votes.
"Those who have wanted to sow division and doubt in the integrity of our elections have blocked the most simple election reform we can do," Bradford said. "Let's pass that in a bipartisan way. God knows, we could pass it with 200 votes. Let's get that done on day one."
Pre-canvassing, as the process is known, has garnered bipartisan support from county officials. But 2021 legislation to allow it died after Republicans paired the provision with new voter ID requirements and stricter registration and mail ballot application deadlines. Wolf, citing those measures, vetoed the bill.
Under current state law, Pennsylvanians must show ID the first time they vote at a new polling place, though it does not have to be a photo ID. They also must provide a state ID number, or their Social Security number and a signature, in order to vote by mail.
Expanding the current requirements to showing some form of ID every time someone votes in person, as is favored by Republicans, may not be the poison pill it once was. Democrats, and most importantly incoming Gov. Josh Shapiro, have recently said they are open to the proposal.
A spokesperson for Shapiro's transition team did not answer specific questions from Votebeat and Spotlight PA last week about his stance on new voter ID requirements or his other voting priorities, though during the campaign he released a detailed list of policy proposals.
"The Governor-Elect will work with anyone to get things done for Pennsylvania, and he is willing to sit down with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to discuss ways to strengthen our democracy and protect the right to vote, so long as they are acting in good faith and working to expand access to the ballot box," spokesman Manuel Bonder said, adding that any effort to restrict voting rights would be "dead on arrival."
Recount requests delay Pennsylvania election certification
Five weeks after Election Day, winning candidates in Pennsylvania from governor to Congress are waiting for their victories to become official.
Wolf said something similar after vetoing Republicans' election bill in 2021. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, he said that he was open to some form of stricter voter ID requirements provided that GOP lawmakers were negotiating in good faith.
But "if you think the other side is basically just going through a sham, just trying to … go through the motions but really doesn't mean it, that's not a real negotiation," Wolf said at the time.
Last session, House Democratic Leader Joanna McClinton (D., Philadelphia) proposed her own election code rewrite — a 66-page omnibus bill named after the first Black House speaker, K. Leroy Irvis. In an email last week, a spokesperson for McClinton said that the bill "may be introduced in a different format" in the upcoming session.
The bill would have instituted 21 days of pre-canvassing and required statewide use of electronic poll books, which advocates hope would provide quicker check-ins at polling places and more accurate voting records compared with traditional paper poll books.
But Democrats like McClinton and Shapiro won't have total control of the policy agenda, as Republicans still hold the Senate. They aren't yet tipping their hand.
"We will work across the aisle when necessary to advance issues important in this commonwealth," said newly minted Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R., Indiana). "But we will also defend the principles and beliefs of those who have elected us to serve them here in the state Senate."
Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R., Westmoreland) pointed to the election deal that Wolf and the GOP General Assembly cut in June as a "very good move." The bill eliminated private, outside funding for election administration in return for more state funding for counties, as well as a requirement that counties start counting mail ballots on Election Day and not stop until they'd finished.
Ward also named passing stricter voter ID laws as a top priority for Senate Republicans.
"Maybe we can talk to Governor-elect Shapiro and see if he's interested in that," Ward added. "But that's a very important one to us."
Kenner, of the New Pennsylvania Project, said that she sees room for stricter voter ID requirements in a potential election code rewrite, as long as the state makes it easier for anyone who needs an ID to get one. (Republicans' election code rewrite from 2021 required counties to give every voter a durable voter registration card that could be used to vote.)
McClinton is a member of the New Pennsylvania Project's board of directors.
Other Democrats, such as Georgia's Stacey Abrams, have warmed up to some expanded form of ID requirements, Kenner noted.
If paired with early voting, automatic voter registration upon turning 18, and same-day registration to ease the process of signing up new voters, she thinks there could be room for a deal. Many of those items are also things Shaprio mentioned during his campaign.
Legislators are lining up ahead of the session to get support for their election law proposals. In recent days lawmakers have introduced co-sponsorship memos — a call for colleagues to support upcoming legislation — on implementing pre-canvassing, removing the date requirement on mail ballots, expanding Voter ID requirements, and repealing mail-in voting, among other proposals.
However, it's too soon to say what a deal that can pass the House, Senate, and earn Shapiro's signature would look like, added state Sen. David Argall (R., Schuylkill), who chaired the Senate State Government Committee last session, helping to craft election legislation.
Spotlight PA
Despite midterm losses, Pa. Republicans appear unlikely to abandon combative agenda
Some party insiders say that trend is a bad sign for GOP prospects.
While the margin may be close in the House, the Harrisburg veteran didn't expect the power dynamic to be too different from last session — Republicans in the Senate could block any bill they don't like, and Shapiro could veto any bill without having to fear the legislature overriding it.
"Whether you control one of three legs of the policy, or two of the three legs, the end result is the same," Argall told Spotlight PA.
There's no shortage of wishlists. In addition to pre-canvassing and same-day registration, the ACLU of Pennsylvania wants lawmakers to clarify the rules around drop boxes and satellite voting offices, said Marian Schneider, senior voting rights policy counsel for the organization.
"And of course the ACLU thinks the outer envelope date requirement is immaterial," she said, referencing a case pending in federal court over Pennsylvania's policy of rejecting undated and incorrectly dated absentee and mail ballots.
Perhaps one of the most important players in election policy, the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania, also has priorities for the 2022–2023 session. The association represents counties, which are the primary level of government overseeing voting administration.
Topping that list again is pre-canvassing, Executive Director Lisa Schaffer said, which counties have been asking for since almost the moment Act 77 passed in 2019. Ideally that would be 21 days, which one upcoming bill provides.
"The more time the better, but certainly any time would be a huge help from where we are now," Schaffer said.
She said counties would also like to see the one-time funding the state provided this year though Act 88 become a recurring stream. Counties also need clarification from the legislature on hot-button issues such as ballot drop boxes and undated mail ballots.
Decisions about providing drop boxes — or not — are currently up to counties, leading to a patchwork of different policies on the boxes across the state. Whether mail ballots without dates should be counted has led to several rounds of litigation, with an uncertain legal fate ahead.
Like most people, though, Schaffer is waiting until the session starts to see what changes are possible.
"The legislative process is always challenging, and we are working like other folks to figure out who the key players will be in the legislature and the administration in this next year," she said. "We're always hopeful, but yes, there is always the challenge to find that sweet spot where you can find common ground to get things done."

There is no hesitation at all that app developers are having a great time during last few years. They all are having great time. You just cannot hope for a better business than app developing right now. This is one of the best businesses that you can think of right now. You can earn best value for your work. The first decade was being flooded with web development projects and there was an extensive use of ASP.NET and PHP. If we move ahead to last decade of 20th century, we find extensive use of HTML. Web development started in 1990.
However, now we have tablets and Smartphone. They are small and you get less space to describe yourself. Mobile friendly websites, optimized websites and the responsive websites have become quite popular. However on mobile it all started with apps. App industry has seen a big revolutionary business during last 6 years. Hence, you can hope for the best.
Both Android and IOS and sometimes Symbian have proved out to be one of the best working environments for Smartphone and tablets. Android apps and IOS apps have become quite popular and mobile application development companies are making a great profit out of these companies. If you wish you can be an independent app developer as well. However, maximum jobs right now are available with the Android and IOS mobile application development. Nokia is a property of Microsoft now and the whole mobile application development environment is being influenced by Smartphone and tablet team now.
Smartphone are not that big and this is the main problem with mobile technology. Tablets are of different size as well. Screen plays an important role in mobile website industry. However, mobile apps are made for mobile only. Probably, now we are up with responsive websites and hence apps have become a secondary item for mobiles as well now. We now deal with responsive websites on mobiles now.
Apps are being made at rapid pace now. However, Responsive websites have come forward as a better alternative. Even then apps seem to be one of the very important inclusions in industry right now. Apps like Facebook, Twitter, and games related, bank related, ecommerce oriented, hospital emergency service related, railways, flight reservation related and many more, they all have become quite popular now.
It has been quite incredible to notice such a huge turnaround. App stores are getting a great response from Arabian countries. USA, Europe, and Australia have already been successful locations for app development. Apps have originated from US and more than 75% of US citizens are having Smartphone. This is one year old survey results and hence it can be understood how important Smartphone is for all kind of people across the world. They all are having a great time right now with apps and this is a great market research results for app developers. They can hope for even better results in 2014. By 2015, probably, app development and responsive website development work might end up being the most profitable business in software industry. Overall it's all butter and milk for all kind of app developers.


Scheduling shifts in the workplace has always been a difficult, rigid process. Balancing both employer and employee needs is always key, but getting everything to fit neatly, while ensuring that the business is properly staffed, has generally left employees most inconvenienced.
Staffjoy is aiming to automate the process of scheduling shifts for businesses to help managers staff effectively, while allowing workers more freedom in determining their own schedules.
Staffjoy is one of the first companies to launch out of Y Combinator's new Fellowship program. Compared to YC's full funding cycle, the fellowship operates quite a bit differently. At 8 weeks it's a much shorter program, but the most important bit is that fellows receive a $12k equity-free grant from the company. The program is aimed at companies that are in the earliest stages of development.
I had a chance to chat with Staffjoy co-founders Andrew Hess and Philip Thomas about their product and was able to check out a demo of the web app live in action.
The app is largely focused on businesses having the "right people at the right time," according to Thomas, but the manner in which it optimizes the employee experience is what really makes Staffjoy unique.
The app organizes shifts effectively by initially having employees enter their availability each week into the planner component of the app. The app then accounts for whether the worker is part-time or full-time and allows them to specify the appropriate number of hours that they'd like to work that week.
"What's great is that [employees] get to choose what hours they want through an easy-to-use web app that helps them claim available shifts easily," Thomas said.
After all of the data is entered, Staffjoy's algorithm gets to work in sorting all of the employee availability into neat shifts that promote "a higher utilization of workers" and help managers get "the right people at the right time," according to Thomas.
Staffjoy has been testing their product at several businesses and Thomas said they've already seen some pretty amazing results. He pointed to one example where a business with around 50 employees was able to reduce its annual labor costs by $30k using Staffjoy's automated scheduling tools.
The app is currently mostly serving businesses in the on-demand economy, which seems to be a natural fit, but Thomas and Hess told me that they're soon hoping to branch out into approaching more traditional mom-and-pop-stores to use their software.
The team seemed quite aware that businesses like these can struggle with having too many available pieces of optimization software and said that they were already looking toward the future, hoping to pursue partnerships with other workplace apps so that Staffjoy could neatly integrate with other services.
Right now, the app is serving firms with just a few employees as well as major on-demand companies with hundreds of contracted workers. The varying sizes of the businesses they're serving right now are helping them see what models works best on a larger scale.
Organizing shifts can be a tough task for employers, but Staffjoy is hoping that through automation they can produce a more fluid experience for workers and managers that doesn't leave either of them in the dark.

Gender and Equality Committee of the Faculty of Philosophy
The Gender and Equality Committee of the Faculty of Philosophy was founded by the Faculty Dean after the request of the Departments that had participated in the interdisciplinary programme of Gender and Equality Studies at Aristotle University, which ran for five consecutive years (2003-2008). The purpose of the Committee is to continue the activities of this expired programme within the bounds of the Faculty of Philosophy and to try to establish new links with other similar programmes in and out of Aristotle University.
The establishment of the Interdisciplinary Programme of Gender and Equality Studies was an important first step for the introduction and promotion of the problematics of gender in the Greek academic community and the coordination of Greek Universities with other European and American Uniuversities in the field of Gender Studies. Among a total of eight such programmes organized by Greek academic institutions the programme established at Aristotle University was the most multi-disciplinary, comprising over 50 different courses, the majority of which were offered by the Faculty of Philosophy.
The Gender and Equality Committee of the Faculty of Philosophy is making a vital effort to expand the positive results of the Interdisciplinary Programme, whose function, unfortunately, despite its five-year run, was not officially institutionalized. Among the major initiatives of the new Committee is to encourage and coordinate the teaching and research activities related to the inquiry of Gender within the borders of the Faculty of Philosophy.
The members of the Committee are:
V. Deliyianni-Kouimtzi, Professor of Sociological Education, School of Psychology
K. Kitsi-Mitakou, Assosiate Professor of English Literature and Culture, School of English
M. Mike, Professor of Modern Greek Literature, School of Philology

Current Facts and Figures
What is the census?
Every ten years the Office for National Statistics (ONS) carries out a census to find out more about the people who live in England and Wales, and about the make-up of local neighbourhoods.
The census provides the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in Cheshire East. The information you give helps decide how to plan and fund services. This could mean things like doctors' surgeries, housing, or new bus routes. It asks questions about you and your household to build a picture of UK residents. It looks at who we are and how we live. There is no other survey that gives as much information about our society and future needs.
Past, present and future of the census
The census takes place every ten years. The first census was in 1801 and the most recent was in 2011. The date of the next census is Sunday 21 March 2021. We need every household in England and Wales to take part to make it accurate.
What you can do - 2021 Census
The census is taking a 'digital first' approach, which means that the ONS want as many people as possible to fill in their questionnaire online in 2021. It is easy to do across any device. Most people will get a letter with a unique access code on it through the post. All you need to do is enter the code on the website and fill in the questionnaire. The ONS will be in contact nearer the time of the census to let you know what you need to do.

Contact the Office for National Statistics if you have any questions about the Census
Census Recruitment
The ONS are hiring thousands of people like you in a range of exciting temporary roles to make Census 2021 a success.
The census is a survey about all of us. We need your help and enthusiasm to encourage everyone to participate. There will be local roles in Cheshire East as well as roles in other parts of England and Wales.
Although the applications for some of these positions are not open yet, you can register your interest in a role.
How the ONS keeps your data safe
The safety of your information is our top priority at the Office for National Statistics. No one can identify you in the census statistics we publish. We make sure they contain none of your personal information. Your census record is kept secure for 100 years and only then can future generations see it.
The ONS do not sell your personal information. Everyone working on the census signs the Census Confidentiality Undertaking. It's a crime for them to unlawfully share personal census information. This includes people working for the census offices and for our suppliers.
The ONS have strict security procedures that follow government standards. This includes physical and IT security measures to protect your data.
Laws in place that cover protection of your data include the:
Census Act 1920

There have been some big changes at Acquisio, both recently and over the past year, and with the start of 2015 we are committed to improving and delivering a better than ever offering to all our current and future clients.
To ensure we stay true to our word, we've made some New Year's Resolutions here at Acquisio, some that could carry over in to the rest of the PPC and software world and beyond. Here are our promises of self-improvement.
My New Year's resolution is to better educate and inform our customers on all our platform features through training webinars, videos and knowledge based articles in the Community.
Improvements to the Acquisio Community and much more content soon to come!
My resolution is to relinquish control of our own marketing campaigns and trust in automation tools such as our bid and budget management tool. 2015 is the year that I don't let the complexity of modern marketing run my life.
My resolution is to focus on what we know best and automate the most tasks possible- steering towards a fully automated digital world. Centering our efforts on what we do well rather than trying to do everything will help us perform the tasks that matter more effectively.
Advances to our automated services, including improvements and expansions to our bid optimization tool and our new ad cloner.
My resolution is to continuously strengthen the accuracy of the data reported on Acquisio and work to ensure that any data discrepancy between Acquisio and ad publishers falls well below the industry accepted level and stays under that level in 2015 and beyond.
This and many more improvements to the platform in order to provide more accurate and more telling data.
My resolution is to show more love to our clients, being more communicative and transparent with what's going on inside our product and company. We aim to support their efforts and offer constant improvements and new features. If we say we'll do something, we'll commit to it and follow through. This will help our company and our clients stay on top of the game. Communication is key and in the new year I will commit and not quit!
New releases and updates, coming out each month in the new year.
My resolution is to raise our employees' overall understanding of digital advertising by providing them adequate training and making sure they are somewhat involved, as volunteers, with real life PPC campaigns.
Acquisio employees getting more involved both with the platform and with their community with volunteer PPC efforts.
Merry Christmas to All, And to All a Positive ROI!


Please note, this is a collaborative post. with Furniture At Work.
I suffer from January blues, but this January I made a vow to myself to let this be a month of reflection, not to be so hard on myself and set realistic milestones. One week and a bit in and I've been to the gym over fives times (wahey), I've broken my #DryJanuary pact and I wasted money on an unnecessary Uber journey. Again, I'm not going beat myself up about this, but I am going to try harder this week. You have to be disciplined, right?
Even though you may be stuck in the office, dreaming of where you'd like to be, just know you're not alone and January is what you'd consider to be a hangover of the previous year. However, I can't even describe how much travel is a great way to combat January blues and this infographic from Furniture At Work sums it up perfectly. #OfficeNarnia indeed!
It makes you realise there is more to the world than your current surroundings. There is that phrase that goes 'live as if you'll die tomorrow' and I'm sure if we all did we wouldn't be at work for starters, so you can break up your monotony by having a trip booked. Or shock yourself and go last-minute, there is no time like the present after all.
Thinking positive, mindset is EVERYTHING.
Setting realistic goals and milestones.
Booking a trip (there are SO many sales on at the moment).
Talking. Seriously, the age old saying 'a problem shared is a problem halved'.
Have you got any trips planned? How do you combat January blues?
Please note, this is a collaborative post. with Furniture At Work, all views are my own.

I agree – having a sunny holiday on the cards helps, just having something to look forward to in general helps – preferably something over January/Feb. January is such a drag after the bright lights and merriment of Christmas – we definitely need some kind of pick me up!
Next year, I'm defo ensuring that for some of January I'm away because the cold weather and lack of funds really doesn't help. So a holiday is great pick me up!
Holidays make everything better. Especially in winter time!
Definitely! The best time of year to go away!!!

Travellers in the age group of 18-35 years are dominating the Indian travel scene with almost 66 per cent of the overall trips being undertaken by this young tech-savvy generation, a study has said.
"Young Indians are the driving force behind the changing travel landscape in the country. About 66 per cent of the total trips were made by travellers in the age group 18-35 years," according to online travel company MakeMyTrip's 'India Travel Report 2016'.
The findings are based on the bookings seen on MakeMyTrip platform during January-June 2016, compared to the same period last year. It revealed that smartphone penetration and adoption is driving shift from offline to online in the travel industry. Mobile is the most preferred booking platform, as 74 per cent of the bookings were made via app by travellers in the age group 18-35 years. Compared to this, travellers' mix preferring desktop as the medium comprises of more travellers in the age bracket of over 35 years, accounting for 40 per cent of the total bookings made via the desktop, the study added.
"At a high level, mobile as a booking medium and hotels as a category has significantly evolved compared to last year. Further, travellers are increasingly becoming younger.
"Just like financial or career ambition, people now have travel ambition especially the younger generation. This has had a direct effect on the travel landscape of the country, which is now being driven by young Indians," MakeMyTrip Co-Founder and CEO-India Rajesh Magow said.
The other top trends the MakeMyTrip study observed this year include higher spending on luxury travel experience within India and abroad by travellers, rise in solo-woman travel amongst others. The average spends by travellers have seen a rise with Rs 50,000 per person for short-haul and Rs 1 lakh per person and above for long haul destinations, it said. With higher disposable income, people have started spending more time on their holidays (12-14 nights) by clubbing multiple destinations in their itinerary.
The average holiday frequency has also gone up due to extended weekends and average vacation time period is up by 10 per cent. About 63 per cent of the young travellers have taken more than four trips in the first half of 2016, versus 54 per cent in the first half of 2015, it said.
