GoHealth, Inc. Class Action Lawsuit
GoHealth, Inc.
GOCO
Purchasers of GoHealth, Inc. Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with GoHealth's July 2020 initial public offering
On September 21, 2020, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP filed the GoHealth, Inc. class action lawsuit charging GoHealth, certain of its officers and directors, the private equity sponsor of its July 2020 initial public offering ("IPO") and its affiliates, and the underwriters of IPO with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. Filed in the Northern District of Illinois and captioned Hudson v. GoHealth, Inc., No. 20-cv-05593, the GoHealth class action lawsuit seeks to represent purchasers of GoHealth Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with GoHealth's IPO.
GoHealth provides an end-to-end health insurance marketplace that purportedly specializes in matching consumers with Medicare Advantage plans. On June 19, 2020, GoHealth filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the IPO on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement"), which was used to sell to the investing public 43.5 million shares of GoHealth Class A common stock at $21 per share, for total gross proceeds of $913.5 million.
The GoHealth class action lawsuit alleges that the Registration Statement was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact, omitted material facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, and failed to make necessary disclosures required under the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Specifically, the Registration Statement failed to disclose that at the time of the IPO: (i) the Medicare insurance industry was undergoing a period of elevated churn, which had begun in the first half of 2020; (ii) GoHealth suffered from a higher risk of customer churn as a result of its unique business model and limited carrier base; (iii) GoHealth suffered from degradations in customer persistency and retention as a result of elevated industry churn, vulnerabilities that arose from the Company's concentrated carrier business model, and GoHealth's efforts to expand into new geographies, develop new carrier partnerships and worsening product mix; (iv) GoHealth had entered into materially less favorable revenue sharing arrangements with its external sales agents; and (v) these adverse financial and operational trends were internally projected by GoHealth to continue and worsen following the IPO.
Since the IPO, the price of GoHealth Class A common stock has suffered significant price declines. By September 15, 2020, GoHealth Class A common stock closed at just $12.53 per share – over 40% below the $21 per share price investors paid for the stock in the IPO less than two months previously.

A hetényi csata, más neveken hetini csata vagy Béga-menti csata 1696. augusztus 26-án zajlott le a délvidéki Hetény falu mellett, Torontál és Temes vármegye határán, a Béga folyó mellett. A Szent Liga szövetségében harcoló Habsburg- és német-római császári haderő az 1696. évi hadjáratban I. Frigyes Ágost szász választófejedelem parancsnoksága alatt az oszmánok által megszállva tartott Temesvár ostromára indult. II. Musztafa szultán vezetésével Belgrád felől erős oszmán felmentő hadhadsereg vonult fel ellenük. A két sereg a Béga folyó mentén, Hetény falu közelében véres ütközetet vívott, amely mindkét fél számára súlyos veszteségekkel járt, és taktikai szempontból eldöntetlenül végződött. Stratégiailag az oszmán sereg hadjárata sikeresnek tekinthető, mivel célját, Temesvár felmentését elérte.

Német nyelvű leírásokban az ütközetet "olási vagy olásini csata" (Schlacht bei Olasch / Olaschin / Ulaş) neveken említik, egy közelebbről nem ismert egykori (elpusztult) Béga-menti helységről, valahol Párdány és Tamásfalva (Hetény) között, a mai szerb–román határ mellett. Reiszig Ede Torontál vármegye községei című művében keletebbre, Csene község (elpusztult elődjének) közelében valószínűsíti a csata helyét, Tamásfalva és Temesvár között, a mai Béga-csatorna partján.

Előzmények
A Budavár 1686-os visszafoglalásával megindult török-ellenes Habsburg háborúban az 1695. év kudarcokat hozott. A császári haderő legjobb egységei és hadvezérei nyugaton, a rajnai fronton voltak lekötve. A Maros menti császári hadművelet félbeszakadt, II. Musztafa szultán csapatai a lugosi csatában szétverték Veterani tábornagy, erdélyi főparancsnok seregét, Vetarani maga is elesett a harcban, a császári főerő visszavonult egészen Csanádig. Az Udvari Haditanács világosan látta, hogy az 1695-ös kudarcot alapvetően a 25 esztendős fővezér, I. Frigyes Ágost szász választófejedelem (Erős Ágost) tapasztalatlansága és hadvezéri alkalmatlansága idézte elő.

Az 1696 tavaszán tervezett új hadjárat céljaként a császár Temesvár visszavételét jelölte meg. A Haditanács  főnyi császári hadsereg felállítását határozta el, amelyhez a szövetséges magyarok és horvátok további csapatokat adtak. A had fővezérévé Lipót császár ismét Frigyes Ágostot nevezte ki, mert az ifjú fejedelem  főnyi szász erősítést ígért a katonákban szűkölködő császárnak. A fiatal fővezér mellé ismét Caprara és Heissler tábornagyokat osztották be tanácsadóként, akárcsak az elmúlt évi hadjáratban.

A haderők felvonulása
Pénzhiány és elégtelen előkészületek miatt a hadjárat megindítása egyre későbbre tolódott. A császári főerő Buda alatt gyülekezett. Frigyes Ágost fővezér május 25-én szemlélte meg a csapatokat, és elrendelte az indulást. Az igen lassan vonuló hadsereg csak június végén ért Szegedre. Itt június 28-án Frigyes Ágost haditanácsot tartott. Jelentették neki, hogy II. Musztafa szultán hadserege, amely sokkal korábban elindult Konstantinápolyból, már Nišhez érkezett. Az ellenség gyors közeledése miatt a császári tábornokok többsége a haditerv feladását javasolta a fővezérnek.

Frigyes Ágost azonban kitartott az ostrom terve mellett. Egy hadtestet Truchsess altábornagy parancsnoksága alatt a Dunához küldött, hogy biztosítsa a Temesvár felé vonuló sereg hátát. Truchsess harc nélkül megszállta Titelt. Maga Frigyes Ágost 5000 német lovassal és 2000 magyar huszárral személyesen lovagolt Temesvár alá terepszemlét tartani. Július 1-jén a várból kitört különítmény rátámadt a vár körül fürkésző csapatra, de szétverték őket, súlyos veszteségek árán visszahúzódtak a várba. A foglyul ejtett oszmánoktól a fővezér megtudta, hogy a jól felszerelt védősereget  janicsár katona és arnauta (albán muzulmán) harcos alkotja. A török sereg többi része, a szpáhik kivételével irreguláris harcos volt, beleértve a tatár segédhadakat.

A Titelnél álló Truchsess jelentette, hogy egy oszmán sereg, Dzsafer pasa vezetésével támadásra készül csapatai ellen. A fővezér Heissler altábornagyot néhány ezreddel és nagy mennyiségű hadfelszereléssel Titelbe küldte, Truchsess erősítésére. Ugyanekkor parancsot küldött Bussy-Rabutin tábornoknak, az erdélyi hadak parancsnokának, aki csapataival a Maros bal partján, Dobránál állt, hogy csapataival Aradon át haladéktalanul vonuljon a fősereghez. Bussy-Rabutin erdélyi parancsnoki tisztségét Herbeville tábornok vette át.

A császári főerő csak július közepén ért Temesvár alá. Itt Frigyes Ágost azt a hírt kapta, hogy a szultán  főnyi serege már megérkezett a Dunához, és Pancsovánál átkelni készül. A fővezér újabb két ezrednyi erősítést küldött Titelbe, Starhemberg tábornok parancsnoksága alatt. Ő maga Temesvár ostromának előkészítését felügyelte. A munkák igen lassan haladtak, az ostromsánc (circumvallatio) építése csak augusztus 3-án kezdődött el, az ostromtüzérség augusztus 14-én kezdte törni a palánkot.

A szultáni főerő Pancsovánál átkelt a Dunán. Augusztus 17-én Starhemberg jelentette, hogy az oszmán folyami flotilla Titelnél sikeres támadást hajtott végre a császári hajók ellen. Augusztus 15-én az oszmán fősereg a Temes folyóhoz ért. Világossá vált, hogy a szultáni had célja valóban Temesvár felmentése.

Az augusztus 19-én tartott haditanácsban Frigyes Ágost az ostrom félbehagyása mellett döntött. Starhemberget a fősereghez való visszatérésre utasította. Az új haditerv szerint a császári főerő Temesvártól dél-délnyugatra a Temes és Béga folyók között megütközik az oszmánokkal, majd folytatja Temesvár ostromát. Frigyes Ágost ezért Párdány irányában (délnyugat felé) haladva a szultáni sereg elé vonult. A magyar huszárokból álló elővéd már augusztus 21-én Németszentmihály térségében harcba keveredett a török lovasság előőrseivel, ezt augusztus 26-án nagyobb lovassági összecsapás követte.

A törökök Párdány és Ittabé (Ittebe) között, a két folyó mocsaras sávjaitól közrefogott, jól védett területen elsáncolták magukat. Frigyes Ágost itt nem kockáztathatott támadást ellenük, ezért átkelt a Bégán, és Heténynél állt meg. Mindkét fél igyekezett a másikat megkerülni és állásaiból kimozdítani. A választófejedelem úgy tervezte, hogy a Titelnél álló Truchsess-hadtestet Nagybecskereken át a fősereg közelébe manőverezteti, majd az egyesített haderővel a szultáni hadsereg oldalába kerülve elvágja azt a Dunától, és belgrádi utánpótlási útvonalától. Musztafa szultán azonban felismerte e szándékot és a szárnyon végrehajtott hadmozdulattal megelőzte a bekerítő manővert.

A törökök a Béga mentén végrehajtott elterelő manőverrel Temesvár felé törtek, mintha a császáriak hátába akarnának kerülni, de valójában ők is Hetényhez vonultak és itt ismét elsáncolták magukat. E hadmozdulattal a szultán hadserege beékelte magát Temesvár és a császáriak közé, sikeresen tehermentesítve a várat. Frigyes Ágost belátta az ostrom újrakezdésének lehetetlenségét. Ennek ellenére ütközetre szánta el magát. Saját arcvonalát megfordította, szembe az ellenséggel. Harcrendjét két vonalban állította fel, az első harcvonal jobb szárnyára saját szász csapatait állította.

A csata lefolyása

A két hadsereg összeütközésére augusztus 26-án délután került sor. Este 6 óra körül a császári jobbszárny a heves tüzérségi tűz ellenére támadásba indult a török sáncok ellen. Musztafa azonban támadásba küldte lovasságát.  szpáhi rohanta meg az egész arcvonalat. A császáriakat visszavetették, a jobbszárnyon álló szászokat szétszórták. Különösen nagy veszteségeket szenvedett a szász Jordan és Bornstädt zászlóalj.

Ekkor a császári közép lovassága erős ellentámadást hajtott végre, áttörték a török vonalakat, a szultáni lovasságot visszanyomták az erődített táborba. A sáncok közé sikeresen betört császáriak azonban fosztogatni kezdtek, a szpáhik közben rendezték soraikat, és erőteljes támadással kiszorították őket a táborból. A visszaözönlő császári lovasság szétzilálta a mögöttük érkező saját gyalogság sorait is. Veszélyes kavarodás állt elő, amelyet Vaudémont herceg zászlóaljainak gyors beavatkozása hárított el. Ezzel egy időben Heissler tábornagy visszafordította a középhad lovasságát, és újabb rohamra indult velük a szpáhik ellen. A támadás sikerrel járt, de maga Heissler halálos sebet kapott a harcban. (Néhány nappal a csata után halt meg Szegeden).

Heissler elestét látva a szpáhik újabb támadást indítottak a császári közép ellen, ezúttal Polland tábornok egységei léptek véres közelharcba, amelynek során a tábornok életét veszítette. A császári balszárny is harcba lépett, hogy az összeomlott jobbszárny visszavonulását fedezze. A rendezetlen visszaözönlés során a császáriak 24 ágyút hagytak vissza a harcmezőn.

A sötétség beálltával a harc elült. Mindkét fél súlyos veszteségeket szenvedett. Az éjszaka folyamán mindkét hadvezetés rendezte a sorokat, és harcképes állapotba hozta egységeit, az ellenség új támadását várva. Ez nem következett be, mert mindkét hadvezér olyan súlyosnak ítélte saját veszteségeit, hogy egyikük sem kockáztatott támadást.

A haderők visszavonulása
A rákövetkező éjszakán a szultán megkezdte visszavonulását Pancsova és Belgrád felé. A felmentett Temesvár komoly erősítést és hadianyag-utánpótlást kapott a szultáni főseregtől.

Frigyes Ágost nem kezdte újra Temesvár félbehagyott ostromát. Hadseregével átkelt a Béga folyón. Néhány ezredet erősítésként átadott az erdélyi hadak parancsnokának, Bussy-Rabutin tábornoknak. A fősereggel szeptember 17-én átkelt a Tiszán, Titelnél Truchsess hátrahagyott ezredei is csatlakoztak hozzá. A főparancsnokságot itt Caprara tábornagy vette át, aki Péterváradra vezette a sereget. Maga a választófejedelem Bécsbe utazott.

A eredménytelen hetényi csata után a törökök még ostrom alá vették a Száva bal partján fekvő Szávaszentdemetert (Mitrovicát). A Péterváradon állomásozó Caprara tábornagy Újlaknál (Illok) hidat veretett a Dunán, azon átkelve a város felmentésére indult, de elkésett, a törökök bevették és lerombolták a várost. Caprara serege ezután a Duna mentén Dályára vonult pihenőre, majd onnan október végén Budán át Felső-Magyarországra vonták vissza, téli szállásra.

Események más hadszíntereken
Az 1696-os balkáni hadjárat más színterein csak kisebb jelentőségű hadi események történtek. Augusztusban Batthyány Ádám horvát bán utasítására Forgách Simon és Keglevich Péter horvát és magyar csapatokkal Banja Luka környékére vonult portyázni és zsákmányolni. A katonák török foglyokat ejtettek, és keresztény rabokat szabadítottak ki.

A dalmáciai hadszíntéren augusztus elején a velenceiek erős hadsereget küldtek ki Ulcinj () bevételére, Delfino tartományi kormányzó (provveditore) parancsnoksága alatt. A velencei had elfoglalta a várost, de az erőd védői kitartottak. Augusztus 26-án Szkutári pasája eredménytelen felmentő támadást intézett az ostromló tábor ellen, de visszaverték, a pasa maga is elesett a harcban. Szeptember 3-án a védők Delfino újabb rohamát is visszaverték. Szeptember 5-én egy újabb erős török felmentő sereg közeledésének hírére a velenceiek feladták az erőd ostromát, és elvonultak, a várost maguk mögött felégetve.

A balkáni háborúval egy időben folyó orosz–török háborúban Péter orosz cár csapatai jelentős győzelmet arattak. Az újonnan felépített orosz hadiflottára támaszkodva a cár elfoglalta a korábban sikertelenül ostromolt azovi erődöt, kijáratot szerezve Oroszországnak a Fekete-tengerhez.

Következmények
Az ütközet taktikai értelemben eldöntetlenül végződött, mindkét haderő elvonult a csatatérről. Ugyanakkor II. Musztafa szultán sikerrel megtartotta Temesvárt, így hadászati előnyhöz jutott. A bécsi Udvari Haditanács Frigyes Ágostot felelőtlen hadvezetéssel vádolta, a fővezér beosztott tábornokait vádolta parancsszegéssel. A sértődött választófejedelem még 1696 őszén lemondott fővezéri rangjáról, hazautazott, hogy megszerezze magának Lengyelország királyi trónját (1697-ben II. "(Erős)" Ágost néven lépett a lengyel trónra). Új fővezérré a császár a rajnai frontról visszatért Savoyai Jenő herceget nevezte ki.

Későbbi elemzők szerint az 1696-os hadjáratnak kevés esélye volt a sikerre, főleg a fővezér tapasztalatlansága és Caprara tábornagy elégtelen parancsnoki képességei miatt. A rajnai front lekötötte a Habsburg haderő erőinek javát. Lipót császár ezt valószínűleg felmérte, és az 1696-os hadjárat céljaként nem a stratégiailag legfontosabb Belgrád, hanem "csak" Temesvár bevételét tűzte ki. A szegedi haditanácson részt vevő tábornokok – látva a közeledő oszmán felmentő had erejét – még ezt is soknak találták, és igyekeztek visszafordulásra bírni a fővezért. A császáriak szerencséjére az oszmán haderő irányítása is kívánnivalót hagyott maga után, mert Musztafa szultán háttérbe szorította Elmas Mohamed nagyvezírt.

A hadjáratot súlyos késéssel indították el, első perctől kérdéses volt, hogy Temesvárt el lehet-e foglalni még a gyorsan közeledő oszmán felmentő sereg érkezése előtt. Az ostrom folytatása a felmentő sereg és a kitörésre kész erős várőrség közé szorítva viszont kockázatos lett volna. A nyílt csata terve logikus hadvezéri döntésként értékelhető, a biztonságos harctéri győzelemhez viszont hiányoztak a Titelhez küldött ezredek. A szultán megkerülő hadműveletével hadászati sikert ért el, felmentette Temesvárt, elérte, amiért jött. A nehéz helyzetbe jutott császári főerő elleni koncentrált oszmán támadás viszont elmaradt, ez II. Musztafa hadvezéri bizonytalanságát jelzi. Az 1696-os hadjárat egyik félnek sem hozott említésre méltó eredményt. A hadi helyzet változatlan maradt 1697-ig, Savoyai Jenő döntő jelentőségű zentai győzelméig.

A Murky Mile (Four Nations of Beer Part 2)
In a series of four features, I will be examining the beer culture in four countries through the lens of a particular event. This second part looks at the all-new craft beer institution that is the Bermondsey Beer Mile and just how varied and mature the London beer scene has become. Read Part 1, featuring the W-Ales Beer Festival, here.
The Bermondsey Beer Mile is so craft it hurts. Five microbreweries, ranging from the fresh-faced Anspach and Hobday to the more established like Brew By Numbers and Partizan to the already legendary like The Kernel, are dotted along a line (easily over a mile if we're being pedantic, especially if you travel in an irregular fashion) in east London. I joke to people that in the future, archaeologists will incorrectly reason that railways were built to connect all the capital's breweries. In Bermondsey, you would be forgiven for thinking just that.
No sooner had 'The Mile' become A Thing than people were complaining about how busy it was at every brewery. Beer geeks could be seen plotting innovative strategies of 'tackling' the Mile on Twitter, trying to outwit the hordes and be front of the line for a fresh 2/3rds at each brewery. The reality is that it is a bit difficult to do it in a straightforward way, but I think that for some people that's part of the fun.
So what's the appeal? Well, generally speaking, the Bermondsey Beer Mile offers some of the best beer in London, at relatively low cost (£3 for 2/3rds of a pint, unless otherwise indicated) and the opportunity to drink as fresh as is feasibly possible. When done in a mob group of fellow wankers seasoned beer enthusiasts, it can make for a wonderful day. Also, naturally, it gives one a rather profound insight into how 'craft' is doing in London right now, so on 14th June I made the journey to Bermondsey and did the mile with some excellent drinking partners.
In Brew By Numbers, where our Mile began, we have a brewery rapidly graduating into that '2011-2012 Kernel' sort of phase, where almost everything they do is brand new and quite exemplary. I love the branding, but the actual numbering system is a bit annoying to me still (who asks for the number at the bar and not the beer 's name?). After an exhilaratingly crisp and juicy Motueka and Lime Saison, I ask for a Session IPA Mosaic and, like my fellow Milers, am simply blown away by it. The aroma is a spectacular bouquet of tropical fruits that comfortably makes the case for 'fresh is best'. The beer's palate is like an electric conduit of lime, orange and mango jacked right into your tongue, ripe with pith and bitterness. The vibe at BBNo is very laid-back, with a very simple layout of benches outside that encouraged a sociable drinking atmosphere. Given how great their beers are tasting at the moment, they may need to work out how accommodate far greater numbers of people.
Meanwhile, at The Kernel, now closing early (at 2pm) due to its arch-busting popularity, we are greeted by nothing less than a fort of iconic brown paper-clad bottles. The last time I was inside The Kernel, it was a cave of pallets, bottles, boxes and just stuff. Now it seems sharper, more organised, not corporate but certainly a professional appearance honed by a growing legion of fans and regular custom. One cavernous arch is given over entirely to customers, seated or otherwise. Some fantastic beers were on draught, including the collaboration with Camden Town Brewery, Gentleman's Agreement, a barrel-aged blend of Camden Gentleman's Wit and Kernel London Sour. It's a truly stunning beer, its apple-skin and sharply sour edges injected with lemon and grapefruit juiciness and rounded by tannic, oaky notes. It's a technical marvel – enormously flavoursome and complex for a beer at 4.3% abv.
There is a very promising trend in blending and barrel-aging at the moment, something that really shows a maturation (no pun intended) of the British beer scene. Sure, we still love to throw hops at beers like there's no tomorrow, but we're also experimenting in esoteric methods and using real skill to – and I mean this as a verb – craft beer. I expect to see more of this in the next year, as the more accomplished new breweries each seek to up their game in this area.
After The Kernel came Partizan, which was tricky to find. It required traversing an active (and very noisy) building site and following an extremely 'craft' hand drawn cardboard sign. There were more cardboard signs inside, at the tiny bar in front of Partizan (formerly The Kernel's) brewkit. The beers on offer included some delectable-looking saisons and IPAs. Another trend I've noticed of late is beers infused with different types of tea, and I've enjoyed pretty much every one I've had. The one on offer at Partizan, an Iced Tea Saison, was too tempting to resist, especially at its sensible strength of 3.9% abv. Unfortunately, it was just a bit too thin, with not enough tea flavour to justify its name. When I think of the best tea-infused beers I've had, they tended to be bigger bodied styles – IPAs and porters, so perhaps a different approach to the saison recipe is needed as well as using more tea. Still, it was further evidence that the more established breweries on the Mile are Thinking In New Ways. Partizan are great brewery and I've no doubt that, with their track record, they'll master this style in no time.
At the next stop, Fourpure, tucked away in an industrial estate at the other end of The Mile, we have a glimpse of the future, or at least an alternate version of the present. This is an example of The American Way: a shiny new brewery with towers of brightly-coloured cans, a brewery tap bar slinging schooners of the freshest draught beer and, naturally, a ping pong table next to the canning line. The friendly bubbling of beery conversation around long tables is occasionally punctuated by a ping pong ball bouncing off a piece of brewing equipment or a tower of hollow aluminium cans. Special mention must also be given to the pulled pork sausage rolls available at the bar, which were nothing short of majestic. It's a warm and welcoming place, but then it has to be, given that it's the furthest flung of the Bermondsey Mile breweries.
Here, many of us partook of another Session IPA, though Fourpure's example was a subtler and smoother beast designed to be enjoyed by the six-pack. Still, it was refreshingly crisp and had some nicely nuanced depths to its hop character, though it's certainly not the fireworks of the Session IPA Mosaic we had at Brew By Numbers earlier that day. There's certainly a lot of 'Session IPA' going about in London now, which is a very American take on something we already do quite well – fresh, bright hoppy pale ales. I don't have a problem with the name exactly, and it doesn't matter what we, and I mean beer geeks, think of the name. Ultimately, if consumers as a whole find it useful, it will stick around, just like so many beer style names in the past.
My Mile ended somewhat inauspiciously at the opposite end from Fourpure, in the arch shared by Bullfinch and Anspach & Hobday, a brewery of which I am rather fond. I hold A&H's Smoked Brown, Table Porter and IPA in high regard, particularly for a such a new brewery. Whenever I have had their beers from the bottle or at a Craft Beer Co, they've been sublime. Their Smoked Tea Porter, a recent collaboration with Melissa Cole, hit all the right notes and was impressively balanced – one of the best tea-infused beers I've ever had. Unfortunately, this particular visit saw some fellow Milers given some below-average beers that seemed not entirely ready to serve, and there was one glass of The Pale which took London Murky to its extreme. The beer was everything that unfined beer critics would just love to be served: an opaque liquid the colour of a manilla envelope that couldn't have finished fermenting. The beer was exchanged but not taken off sale. Concerns were raised with the brewers and were duly noted, but it was still a low point on which to end the Mile.
There's a lot of spite and anger about unfined and unfiltered beer at the moment, much of it directed at new brewers, some of whom are even accused of deliberately 'murky'-ing their beer to be 'cool'. The fact is that many of these newer brewers simply do not have the technology to stop their beers being as hazy (and I mean hazy, not murky) as they are, and many are often trying to meet exceedingly high demand for their beers. However, there is no excuse for charging money for a beer that should simply not be served, and this was one of those instances. This time A&H fell short, but I have no doubt that on another visit, I'll have a great beer from them. It's just a matter of being more patient with their beers, and being absolutely certain they are ready for sale. They can only lose out by trying to serve beer that will harm their reputation, just in an effort to be part of The Mile's buzz.
You might think that this all adds up to a very mixed review of The Mile, and you'd be right. As a measure of where craft beer in London is right now, the Bermondsey Beer Mile is perhaps more indicative of the 'bleeding edge' – barrel-aged blends, tea-infused saisons, session IPAs and gleaming canning lines – but it's an edge that cuts both ways. The fact is, The Bermondsey Beer Mile, this dazzling rainbow of London craft beer in its many forms, approaches, intentions and futures, is a murky beast indeed. The Mile needs time and a stronger sense of cohesion to become the finely-honed showcase of the best beer in London. A nice start might be a collaboration brew from the five breweries involved. I hope that over the summer the Mile is shaped into something we can proud of. As it is right now, I'm willing to be patient. Great beer deserves patience and London deserves great beer.
In the next part of Four Nations of Beer, I review the controlled chaos of BrewDog's shareholder AGM 2014, and see if Scotland's squeakiest wheel brightest burning light is still at the front of the 'craft beer revolution'.

Raising Dahlia is about my adventures in gentle, respectful, peaceful parenting.
I work hard to parent this way. It's not how I was raised and it was never modeled for me, but I work at it anyway, day after day, with the goal of raising a daughter who feels seen and heard. Who knows with absolute certainty that she matters. Who understands, deep down, that she is perfect exactly as she is.
Raising Dahlia is also about raising a female in a male-dominated world.
It's my hope that she grows comfortable embracing her femininity in an excessively masculine society. I hope she learns that feminine strength does not mean being more like a man. Her EQ matters just as much, if not more than, her IQ. Intuition can be relied upon as much as analysis. Kindness and cooperation are often more effective than control.
Most importantly, Raising Dahlia is about raising a self-directed, confident human being who knows, without a doubt, she is loved.
She has more wisdom than anyone could ever give her credit for, but I will try. I will also try to remind her that the answers she seeks are most often found within, and that she never needs to look to me or her Papa for approval. We approve. We love her. Unconditionally. Nothing she could ever do would cause us to draw our love away from her.
This, most of all, is our greatest goal in raising Dahlia.
I am not sure if you will read this or reach back out but I hope you do.
I just came across your article: "I quit an accounting to be a hula dancer" and I was inspired but also scared. I've been wanting to leave Washington State for 4 years now to Hawaii because it's beautiful and different. Dancing is what makes me smile and it's a passion of mine. I was glad that I read your article because I need to know if it is possible to do something untraditional of a non Hawaiian like myself. It seems justified and common to do this in Hawaii but not for a girl sitting in Seattle with the pressure of doing corporate. I could be wrong, I don't know.
The reason for my reaching out is because I would like to learn more about your experience, how realistic it can be for someone myself and if one can make a living long term.
Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to speak with you soon.
Hi, would you be interested in publishing one of your videos hula dancing? BTW love your poetry.

Redesign of the Month: Durex Condoms
Thanks to clear communication, this trailblazing condom brand wrapped up a big design win.
Brand: Durex
Category: Condoms
Agency: Design Bridge
Our Redesign of the Month series spotlights a deserving brand that is harnessing the power of design to make an impact, tell a story, and outshine its previous packaging.
Hundreds of current category consumers evaluate the old and new designs across a wide range of performance areas, including purchase preference, communication, mental availability, and design-element resonance. Notably, Designalytics' testing outcomes align with actual sales performance more than 90% of the time, which bodes well for this month's winner: Durex.
Not many nonagenarians are obsessed with sex, but the condom brand Durex certainly is. Originally registered in 1929 by the London Rubber Company, the brand has been a pioneering force in prophylactics for decades. That has helped make them the world's leading condom brand, but all winners know that reinvention is a requisite for continued success.
Americans' attitudes about sex have undergone a revolution in the last 50 years, so condom companies have had to regularly adapt to this rapidly-changing cultural environment. More recently, a once-in-a-hundred-years pandemic wreaked havoc on an industry—sales dipped 40% in 2020 as social distancing meant celibacy for some. The combination of changing perspectives and slumping sales meant a change was needed.
Key creative changes
It's rare that a category leader makes such dramatic changes to their design, let alone one with the history of Durex. Yet this updated package makes it clear that the brand was looking to embrace its reason for being: sex. Bright colors, subtle-yet-suggestive photography, and a boldly reimagined logo demonstrated that this brand was ready to show some skin.
Literally, in fact. While the prior packaging showcased two intersecting fingerprints, a sexy photo of intertwined fingers now appears front-and-center in the latest iteration. This is part of the new centerpiece of the design: a circle, split in half and set askew, now serves as the visual anchor of the design.
While maintaining the general look of the brand's wordmark, the new version both enlarges the font and allows it to break the barriers that constrained its predecessor, implying severance from past sexual strictures. The "x" marks the spot, in this case, as the extension of the lines of this letter creates the axes around which the design revolves. That "x" draws the consumers' eyes, a signifier of intersection and connection as well as the most provocative letter shared by "sex" and "Durex."
Several other aesthetic adjustments were made, including using a slightly darker tone of brown for the box, adding a prismatic splash of color to the underside of the circle, and incorporating a subtle nod to an erstwhile design asset—the fingerprint. (Note: this description is for the "Real Feel" product; each condom variety has a different color treatment and photo, ostensibly to aid in line navigation.)
While these shifts represent an exciting new trajectory for the brand, the most consequential changes are in the communication of key attributes. The top three most important ones for condoms, according to consumers, are (in order): "I trust it will work," "reliable," and "safe." It's no surprise, then, that Durex chose prime package real estate—the top of the package—to add the claim "5x tested for durability [and] reliability." This was clearly designed to underscore the diligence with which the brand controls quality.
This purveyor-of-protection also sought to clarify what was already on the package. The old design used icons to indicate the size and thickness of the condom, as well as one meant to indicate whether each variety included lubricant—but added no description of the meaning of these icons. In the updated design, size and thickness remained, but with written definitions alongside the icons.
Looks like Durex has rolled out a winner: Consumers preferred it to its predecessor, 66% to 34%.
Wins and opportunities
For starters, Durex's updated package improved distance recognition (a measure of both mental availability and brand legibility). Consumers could recognize it from further away—from 7.2 feet, in fact, which is above average for the category and a significant jump from the old design's (somewhat limp) 4.1 feet.
The redesign's performance stood out in one other way: communication. The new package bested the old in every important attribute by an average of 23 points, including impressive jumps in the top attributes and those directly addressed by the changes ("fits correctly" went up 23 points and "doesn't feel like I'm wearing a condom" increased 16 points). It's also worth pointing out that the largest increases were in "high quality" (+41 points) and "premium" (+31) attributes, which align with and support the second-most important attribute, "reliable" (which also increased 31 points).
The "5X tested for durability and reliability" seems to have been especially effective in boosting the new design's communication performance. Although this claim took up a small portion of the box, it ranked number two in consumer engagement among all package elements. This amounts to a big win for the brand, because communication is where the rubber meets the road: saying important things better has an 88% correlation to in-market outcomes, according to Designalytics' data.
The contrasting choices in imagery are worth noting, as well. While consumers looking at the old design generally understood that the central image was of intersecting fingerprints, some seemed confused as to what it had to do with condoms (for example, one responded: "I don't understand why there are fingerprints on the box"). The new design's imagery connects more directly to consumers' emotions and the product's purpose ("The hand touching is sexy," commented one, while another said it "looks intimate").
Perhaps unsurprisingly (given such a radical departure from the brand's previous package design), not all consumers were entirely enamored with the new look. The color of the box, for example, struck many consumers as dull and unattractive. More consumers disliked this aspect of the design than liked it. While there is no clear correlation between consumers' "liking" a design and the product's sales—and Durex likely knew such a brash new approach would rub some the wrong way—the brand would do well to keep a close eye on the design's middling performance in resonance measures.
Consumers could recognize the new design from a further distance: 7.2 feet vs. 4.1 feet for the old.
The additional claims and updated imagery helped make an enormous difference in communication, as the new design bested its predecessor in conveying all 12 key attributes for consumers, including "I trust it will work" (+23 point shift), "reliable" (+31 point shift), "feels good" (+20 point shift).
The number-one word consumers most commonly associated with one design versus the other were "fingerprints" (old) and "sex" (new). Such measures of association and sentiment are not decisive, but they can be instructive: In this case, consumers associated the new design with the very (enjoyable) reason they were purchasing the product in the first place, versus an abstract image they struggled to connect to the product's purpose.
The old design actually outperformed the new one in resonance. Overall, consumers liked more individual elements of the previous iteration. While not determinative of design success, there is clear room for improvement on the execution of some elements.
The new design helped to improve both distance recognition and accuracy, but the latter is still a relative weakness compared to other leading brands in the category.
Despite strong performance overall, consumers expressed dislike for certain elements of the new design, especially the color of the box ("ugly," "makes me think it's cheaper," "boring and bland"). Given that each variety of condom has a different color (and not all were tested by Designalytics), this isn't necessarily a broader issue for Durex, but it could be helpful to consider.
Consumer highlights:
"Seeing that the condoms have been tested 5 times made me believe what the package is advertising."
"The 'skin on skin feeling' claim tells me it won't feel like I'm wearing the condom even when I am."
Our goal behind highlighting impactful redesigns is to help brands understand market reactions to design changes and make intentional design decisions. We create a full report of these insightful case studies for every brand redesign in our cross-category database. These value-add tools are created automatically for our clients who subscribe to syndicated category data. For more information on this redesign report or others, contact us.

This Black Friday weekend phone deal gets you free Netflix for six months
Black Friday Deals Nov 25, 2018 6:19 pm GMT
Stranger Things Credit: Courtesy Netflix
Get the popcorn.
Black Friday weekend may be winding down but there are still plenty of deals to be had. If you're shopping around for a new phone, then why not pick up this one with Netflix free for six months?
Offered by O2, you can get a Netflix subscription free for six months whenever you buy:
A phone on a 25GB+ tariff
A dongle
A 12 month sim on a 15GB+ tariff
After those six months, the subscription is £7.99 per month, or it can be cancelled at any time. Get the deal here while you still can.
Offering acclaimed series and shows the Stranger Things, Bojack Horseman, The Chilling Tales of Sabrina, Making a Murderer Part 2 and The Haunting of Hill House, there are plenty more awesome things to watch hitting Netflix next month – including Peaky Blinders series four, T2 Trainspotting and much more.
That six months subscription could also have you covered for the the release of Stranger Things season 3, which is due to hit the streaming service in summer 2019.
"It's a handcrafted show," Cindy Holland, VP of Netflix's original content, explained. "The Duffer brothers and Shawn Levy have worked really hard, and they understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than what they did last year. And so they really want to take the time to get it right."
Holland added that "more special effects" is one of the main reasons for season three's prolonged production – but it'll be "worth the wait".

Q: execute immediate with string in sql statement in teradata I've met the problem when using execute immediate in Teradata.
SET str_sql = 'UPDATE TABLE
                    SET COLA = 0';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE str_sql;

The above code works fine.
SET str_sql = 'UPDATE TABLE
                    SET COLA = 0,
                        COLB = ''test''';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE str_sql;

The above code with string returns error.
The following is the error message:
Executed as Single statement.  Failed [3706 : 42000] Table:Syntax error: expected   something between a string or a Unicode character literal and the word 'test'.
Elapsed time = 00:00:00.212

STATEMENT 1: CALL  failed.

Anyone know how to invoke the execute immediate with String in the sql?
Thanks!
Frank Liu

A: The problem might be on quotation. Instead of this
SET str_sql = 'UPDATE TABLE
                SET COLA = 0,
                    COLB = ''test''';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE str_sql;

Use double quotation.
SET str_sql = 'UPDATE TABLE
                SET COLA = 0,
                    COLB = 'test'';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE str_sql;

Teens Who Own Alcohol-Branded Merchandise May Drink at Earlier Age
By Armen Hareyan G+ Mar 23 2006 - 3:13pm
Teen Alcohol Drinking
Owning a piece of clothing or other merchandise with an alcohol brand name on it may be associated with an earlier start to drinking, according to a new study. But a beer-industry representative says that the study doesn't show which comes first: teens getting branded merchandise or starting to drink.
The survey of middle-school students in northern New England found that those who owned a piece of merchandise featuring an alcohol name or logo were twice as likely to have started drinking as those who did not.
"This is one of the first looks at alcohol-branded merchandise and teen drinking," said Auden C. McClure, M.D., a clinical instructor at Dartmouth Medical School and lead author of the study in the April issue of American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The study participants were enrolled in a 1999 survey aimed primarily at looking at factors affecting teen smoking. Students who said they had not used alcohol were followed up one year to two years later by telephone and asked about their drinking, that of their peers and whether they owned anything with an alcohol name on it.
The students were not asked about drinking habits in their family, which could affect the study results, the authors wrote.
Of the 2,406 students who had not started drinking in 1999, 15 percent had started using alcohol and 14 percent owned an item

Fire pit burners are complicated pieces of equipment, yet essential to your fire pit. If you're not a professional or, at the very least, familiar with gas-fired devices and their burner assemblies, you may be at a loss when trying to figure out what burner is best for your individual situation. While you always have the option of hiring a professional to install your own gas fire pit burner, a little know-how can become a cost-saving option.
A fire pit burner is used to create and manipulate the flame in a gas fire pit. The gas itself will be either liquid propane or natural gas, with many homeowners choosing liquid propane due to its convenience and portability options. Most homeowners cringe at the idea of ripping up decking in order to tap into an existing natural gas line. And some homeowners do not even have a natural gas option, leaving liquid propane as the obvious choice in most circumstances.
Gas fire pit burners come in various shapes and sizes, including rings, octagons, linear styles, "H" and "tree" styles, and more. Some offer double and triple burner rings, which create more flames in your fire pit while minimizing the need for a more floor space. Burners feature heat- and rust-resistant metals, such as stainless steel or aluminum, with brass fast becoming the go-to option in terms of durability, longevity, and lifetime cost.
Through years of research, and especially experience, we've discovered that The Warming Trends Crossfire Burner is far and way the leader in terms of burners for your gas fire pit. Comprised of 100% brass construction, the Crossfire will never corrode or fail and will always produce the tallest, brightest, hottest, and the most natural flame of any gas fire pit burners on the market today!
Leading the industry with a highly-engineered, precision product, the technology behind the Crossfire Brass Burner uses a specific air-to-gas ratio at the point of combustion to produce the taller, brighter, fuller flame that resembles a natural, wood burning fire. This is known as the Venturi Effect, which generates high-velocity gas flow and pulls more oxygen into the jet chamber – feeding the combination into the flame at the point of combustion. This causes the gas and oxygen mixture to expand at a high velocity as a super-charged flame, creating a beautiful flame while using less of your fuel.
All parts and pieces of the Crossfire Burner are fashioned from brass. Unlike other gas fire pit burners made from stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant and will not rust, which eliminates the need for replacement and results in lower cost over its lifetime.
There are many factors that go into selecting an outdoor gas fire pit; the most vital is the burner. There are several key items to look for in your burner selection, one of the most important is that it is UL Listed and safety tested. This helps to ensure that the burner will light properly, burn cleanly and be safe to operate. Additionally, it is important to select a burner that is of a high-grade metal – the far most preferable option being brass. This helps for operation and longevity and minimizes any rust options—something you most assuredly want to do on a gas burner that is exposed to the outside elements. The third item is to have an ignition system that is dependable and easy to operate.
While there may be several gas fire pit burners that meet the above criteria, The Warming Trends Crossfire Burner guarantees to be safe, burn clean, and look great for as long as you own it.
Why Choose A Warming Trends Burner?
Other "top of the line" burners are made of stainless steel or even high-grade aluminum. While this is passable for some and perhaps a bit cheaper up-front cost, a Warming Trends burner utilizes all brass components and will last a lifetime. This means a lower operating cost over the life of the burner.
Since its 100% manufactured in the USA, you can rest assured it is a product that Crossfire stands behind. And it even comes with a limited lifetime warranty!
We recognize you have options when it comes to the make and model of your gas fire pit burners. That is why Crossfire Brass Burners constantly top the "best of" lists and, more importantly, power the fireplaces of countless homes across the country.
Original Crossfire Burners: The Crossfire Original Brass Gas Fire Pit Burner Kits by Warming Trends provides one of the most unique and innovative gas fire pit burner systems available.
The heavy-duty brass construction ensures an exceptionally high-quality product that's designed for long-lasting use outdoors while the unique burner system features an innovative design that combines a specific air to gas mixture ratio to produce a taller, brighter flame.
Intended for use with either propane or natural gas, these gas fire pit burners use close to half the fuel of conventional gas burners because of the unique regulation system.
H-Style Crossfire Burners: In order to get the most appealing look from your firepit, you need a high-quality H-burner. An H-burner ensures that the flames in your firepit are realistic, yet evenly distributed in a line.

The Show Must Go On: ChopValue Turns Virtual Amidst Cancelled Trade Shows
9 March 2020, VANCOUVER, BC - ChopValue Manufacturing Ltd., known for creating beautiful, sustainable products made entirely from used chopsticks, has partnered with award-winning interactive studio WIREWAX to create a virtual trade show experience in response to cancelled events globally. The company planned to debut its products to US retailers at the Inspired Home Show, the world's leading home and housewares show in Chicago March 14th to 17th, which was cancelled last week due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
"We were disappointed about the cancellation of IHS and needed to act quickly to ensure we had a platform to engage with retail partners and gain exposure in the US market to introduce them to our local product solutions," said ChopValue Founder and CEO Felix Böck. "In a matter of four days, our team worked tirelessly to replicate our booth in Vancouver. In collaboration with Sahil Chawla Films (videography) and a team of experts at WIREWAX, we created an interactive experience to showcase our products and to provide a chance for attendees to network with key members of our team."
"ChopValue specializes in high quality, innovative and sustainable solutions built to last and we were thrilled to help them create a digital asset that is no different," said Jen Mah, Creative Director of WIREWAX. "We anticipate more trade shows going virtual in the coming months and look forward to helping clients come up with solutions to maximize their interactions between people and product."
ChopValue's virtual interactive trade show booth will be released on their website on Saturday, March 14th, inviting those who had planned to attend IHS to virtually stop by to learn more about their products and the importance of sustainable Canadian and American manufacturing during these times.

I am in awe, terrified, and also in a state of wonder. And nauseous. Walking through that door, I'm not sure what I expected, but I did not expect a small railed set of steps (if you could call a twig the size of my thumb, held up every arm length with a slightly thicker post, a railing); that cascaded around a giant tree. You know those giant "World Tree'"'s in video games that reach higher than mountains, and are wider than small cities? I was in one of those. Literally, the room was grown into the tree. High enough up that, upon looking down (Which I regret, by the way), the people on the ground (which are actually roots, as far as I can tell) look like ants.
Maybe 2000 feet? Aye, I used to be American, cursed standard measurements and all. Did I mention I get vertigo when looking over balconies and other high places? I can feel my heartbeat in my ears.
I've taken to sitting down against the tree trunk-san-outer-room-wall, and dumbly place my right hand over my mouth. Less about the nausea, and more about the amazement. I crawl to the edge of the steps, and lay on my belly, looking down while laying down. For some reason, this feels much safer. Indeed people below are more than a thousand feet below. This isn't the only tree either. Albeit, it is quite some distance away, enough that the pedestrians are indistinct blobs, but there are other trees as far as I can see, their trunks layered with stairs, reaching impossibly high, with enormous canopies which intertwine with the next tree. How bright must the sun be for us to see as if it was daylight, even filtered through this thick foliage?
She sighs, or huffs? I'm not sure which, it was more of a mix between the two. "It's Mika. What… are you doing…?" She had a hand on her right hip, looking at me like I was some odd exhausting contraption that she was forced to use. Her other hand made some sort of flailing motion in my general direction. I notice now outside, that she has brown chest height hair, pushed behind her ears.
Down the next step. And then there was some sort of momentum from gravity. I put my hands out to stop my momentum, only to get an elbow stuck between two steps… And again, pulled my body in to cradle yet another wound. So the cycle continued where I lost my balance by reflex and down more steps I went.
In my tumble, somehow I heard quite the sigh coming from above me. Remember, these were steps growing out around a tree, something round? And there were virtually no guard rail posts?
Yeah. I rolled right off.
To be honest, the scenery on the way down was nice. As I fell, i could see people watching. I admired their nice clothes, for some reason. Mostly tight-ish green vests, and very practical well fitted brown denim like pants, seemed the only attire regardless of gender, with the exception of a few with robes. I thought about how, albeit, very short, I had enjoyed my time in this life. Then it occurred to me: Does this make me an "M"? I did get awfully injured this time around. Although, my previous life was much more fulfilling, even though I wasn't as happy on a per minute basis. Looking at it objectively, however, I guess this life wasn't much different from my previous life. I mean, I got beaten up by girls in both lives (Wife in previous, Mika in this one), and in both lives I made rather comical, if not outright stupid mistakes that caused me great pain. Although I could not remember how I died last time, I can't imagine being aware of dying after impact from falling a thousand feet.
I got to hug a beautiful girl. That was definitely a masculine daily goal fulfilled. I saw some wonderful facial expressions. Also those sighs of exasperation were pretty entertaining.
Wow, seems like I was really up there, falling a thousand feet sure takes a lot of time.
I wonder if this world has a different terminal velocity? Maybe it's slow enough that I can survive? I should ask the Goddess if I get the chance to try this again. That said, I wonder how my children are doing in my previous life.
I continued to think about useless things and finally got a bit tired of waiting for the end to come. I wonder if this is how it works right before you die, and time slows to a crawl?
Feeling perturbed, I rotated in the air by adjusting my arms, and opened my eyes right before hitting some dirt, straight in the face.
Thanks for the support! I am in your care! I will continue to release on Tuesdays. I have 15 chapter backlog! Almost to where I can release 2 chapter a week. We'll get there.


The play consists of beautifully observed vignettes evoking the atmosphere and thoughts of Yorkshire residents based on 3 wartime archives — a housewife's diary from the Mass Observation Project 1939–40, the diary of a recruit to the Army Medical Corps, and the wartime diaries of Fred Spencer, founder of York Gate Garden in Adel.
The wartime love of music and dance, and observations of life during the war, serious and humorous, are interwoven with music performed by two musicians and include 'The Lambeth Walk', (with lively dance showing the wartime spirit), songs such 'I've Got You Under My Skin', Andrews Sisters Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square and audience participation with 'Bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover' and 'We'll Meet Again'.
Trio Literati's versatile musicians add to the WW2 ambience with the smoky, foot tapping music of "Forces Favourites". With Will Rastell - percussion and Eleanor Rastell - soprano & key board.

I took this shot at Rattlesnake before Gabe returned to NB.
It was so much deja vu. I ended up talking to Mrs. Wilkonson, the director of the last play I acted in in Highschool - new Canadian kid. She is well. I was sad that Mrs. LeRiche wasn't their, although I've heard that she's retired.
Alex was hilarious and the play was neat. Its weird to think that was us 11 years ago.

Perhaps Valve's crusade against Windows isn't quite over yet. After Valve quietly removed the Steam Machines page from its storefront earlier this year, it seemed like a quiet capitulation to Windows 10. Maybe Valve's tactics have changed though, as evidenced by details datamined by the /r/linux_gaming subreddit (via Ars Technica) this week: Steam Play, a WINE-like compatibility wrapper.
With fairly simple programs it's pretty solid. With games? It's more complicated. There's a Steam curator dedicated to WINE-compatible games, multiple websites (including part of WINE's) dedicated to the same, and so on. There are also people working on projects alongside WINE, like dxvk, which translates DirectX 11 to Vulkan. Those have their own compatibility lists. Often compatibility lags behind releases by a year or two, especially on big-budget games. A few never work at all.
It's not a one-size-fits-all fix in other words, and definitely not a sign that Linux gaming will supplant Windows anytime soon. Those already running Linux or MacOS could benefit from a Valve-backed and gaming-oriented compatibility wrapper though, and that in turn might make SteamOS more attractive—or indeed, a second generation of Steam Machines, if for some reason Valve has that in mind. You never know.

Global Poverty, Healthcare, Timor-Leste
New Developments in the Healthcare Sector of Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste is a young country, and has been facing many difficulties since its independence. One of these difficulties is trying to improve the currently underdeveloped healthcare sector of Timor-Leste.
Timor-Leste's History of Instability
Timor-Leste only officially became a sovereign nation on May 20, 2002. This came after years of violence and turmoil that led to much of the infrastructure in the nation being destroyed. With the destruction of this infrastructure, along with the casualties caused by the violence, many citizens of Timor-Leste were left unemployed and living in poverty. Another result of this violence was the sudden decline in healthcare professionals. Many of the nation's doctors and specialists left the country during this time, leaving the healthcare sector of Timor-Leste unable to adequately care for all of its citizens.
This combination of poverty and lack of healthcare professionals has been problematic in Timor-Leste in recent decades. In 2017, 41.8 percent of the population of Timor-Leste was living below the poverty line, and as a result of this poverty, many individuals do not have the means to travel long distances when seeking medical attention. Due to the lack of healthcare professionals, clinics and hospitals are not easily accessible to all parts of the nation. Because of this, many individuals cannot get treatment for illnesses that would otherwise be preventable, and this leads to an increased spread of disease.
Improving the Healthcare Sector of Timor-Leste
The government of Timor-Leste has recognized this problem and is taking steps to improve the healthcare sector of Timor-Leste. The government created a Strategic Development Plan that it aims to complete by 2030, which details how it intends to improve the health system for the citizens of Timor-Leste. The three areas that it identifies as needing improvement are health services delivery, human resources for health and health infrastructure.
Part of the government's plan to improve health services is to increase the number of health facilities in Timor-Leste. By 2030, Timor-Leste intends to have enough health centers to service the entire nation and to have each center equipped with the professionals needed to properly run it.
In addition to the government of Timor-Leste recognizing the importance of improving the healthcare sector of Timor-Leste, independent organizations in the nation are also working towards achieving a healthier Timor-Leste. The Jesuit mission in Timor-Leste opened the Centro de Saúde Daniel Ornelas health center in September of 2017. This health center will provide medical services to the students and staff of Colégio de Santo Inácio de Loiola and Instituto São João de Brito, as well as the local community of Ulmera and the greater Liquiçá district. The citizens in these areas did not have sufficient access to healthcare facilities in the past, and the opening of this health center will help to meet this need.
The healthcare sector of Timor-Leste is still recovering from the turmoil that the nation experienced while gaining its sovereignty, but it can be seen that Timor-Leste is not a nation doomed to survive without sufficient access to health services for its citizens forever. Between the commitment that the government of Timor-Leste has made to improving the health of its citizens, and groups such as the Jesuits in Timor-Leste working to improve the health of their own community, a healthier Timor-Leste is well on its way.

Hello everyone! My name is Fabio, I live in Switzerland and I'm a teacher (math and physics) at a local school. I'm single and I have a daughter and a son. My son is studying as oenologist (wine maker) and my daughter is an English teacher and has just married a South African.
I thought about joining this site and hosting English-speaking people (or fluent English speakers) to improve this important language. But in general I like to speak and learn foreign languages and for this reason are welcome people from everywhere. In particular, people who speak Spanish because this October I start to learn this language very close to Italian.
I live in the countryside in my own home near Locarno. Near my house, there are mountains, rivers and a lake (Lago Maggiore).
My small garden and my house do not require a lot of work (just 1-3 hours a day) and therefore the time can be spent to visit the region. In this regard, I want to point out that I live near Italy: an hour and a half from Milan, so that it would be a pleasure for me to accompany my guests to visit the home of Leonardo Da Vinci, spaghetti and pizza.
If you are interested in interacting in English, helping in housework and eventually learning Italian or even French, you will find yourself in the right place. It will be my pleasure to host you.
I am a friendly person, I have a lot of respect for the environment, people and animals (I have a cat) and I like building healthy and beautiful relationships.
My home is well positioned. It allows to reach, as mentioned, Milan in less than two hours. But also other places both in Switzerland and in Italy at the same time. To the numerous cultural offers (monuments, museums, castles, exhibitions, ..) you can alternate excursion trips such as walking, hiking, cycling or swimming (10 minutes walk from my home there is a river).
I have a small vegetable garden that requires a little work. The house is not very big but I like to keep it clean.
The guest sleeps in his/her own room. He/she has his own toilet but a shower is shared.
Obviously for the accommodation you don't have to pay. As well as the meals at home.
My expectations are to meet an independent, open and respectful person, who is curious and interested in discovering new places. If he/she joins the programme during the school term he/she must know that a few hours will be spent alone whilst I work. During the summer it's different because I have a long vacation.
I don't smoke and I prefer to meet people who don't smoke.
