Premiums up 7.7% after falling for 5 years: Report - Corporate Risks India Insurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd.
The global economy is expected to strengthen next year. The US and the UK are currently growing at a moderate pace of close to 2.5%, and real gross domestic product (GDP) in Japan and the Eurozone at a more subdued 0.7% and 1.5%, respectively. The four economies are all expected to see slightly better growth in 2016. Emerging markets will grow by about 5% annually in the next two years, according to a report by global reinsurer Swiss Re, named Global insurance review 2015 and outlook 2016/17.
The global economy faces three main headwinds: slower growth in China, lower commodity prices and an imminent rate increase by the US Federal Reserve. The headwinds pose a risk to the baseline forecast, but are unlikely to derail the improving growth momentum.
Among emerging markets, business and consumer sentiment in India have improved significantly on expectations of a strong push towards economic reform and liberalisation. Non-life insurance premiums grew by 7.9%, up from 2.7% in 2014, due to a stronger economy.
Life and health insurance premiums are increasingly concentrated in emerging Asia, which had a 69% share of the emerging market total in 2015. Growth was strong in India as well, with an acceleration due to a revival of unit-linked insurance products and improved performance in bancassurance. India is expected to contribute to a healthy growth of non-life premium in emerging Asia in the coming two years.
In fact, demand for primary non-life insurance should increase globally in the next two years given the improving economic outlook.
The emerging markets will be the main drivers, with an expected recovery in Central and Eastern Europe and incremental growth improvement in other regions.
Non-life real premium growth in emerging markets is expected to improve in 2016 and 2017, rising by 7.9% and 8.7%, respectively, after a 5.6%-gain in 2015. Emerging Asia will see the strongest annual growth of 12% in 2016 and 2017, and Latin America the weakest (1% and 2.5%, respectively).
Urbanisation and growing wealth will support overall insurance sector growth in the emerging markets. Life and health premiums are projected to see stable and robust growth of nearly 11% in the next two years. Again, emerging Asia will have the most robust growth of about 13%.
In the advanced markets, real premium income growth is estimated to have slowed to 1.9% in 2015 from 4.2% in 2014. The slowdown would have been more pronounced if not for the overall benign inflation rate environment, driven by the sharp decline in energy prices. Growth decelerated or continued to decline in most continental European markets, and premiums grew at a slower pace in Canada and Japan.
In the US and the UK, premium income returned to growth in 2015. In emerging markets, premium income rose by an estimated 10.6% in 2015 after a 7.4%-gain in 2014. Growth was strongest in the emerging Asian countries (up 13.2%). In China, premiums were up 12% and in India by 7.7%, the latter after five years of contraction and stagnation primarily due to regulatory changes. In India, there was an important development in March with the passing of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, which raised the foreign direct investment (FDI) ceiling in Indian insurers to 49% from 26% and allowed foreign reinsurers to establish branch offices in India. These are expected to significantly facilitate foreign participation.
India is the sixth largest liability market in Asia with estimated premiums of $254 million in the year 2014. But the market is still underdeveloped, with penetration of just 0.01% of GDP. Underwriting profits, though, have remained strong. Rates in liability have been stable over the past couple of years with the exception of medical malpractice, where they increased by 10-20% in 2014. General liability is the biggest line of business currently. Recent trends suggest that after the enactment of a new Companies Act in 2013, there has been an uptick in corporate interest in directors and officers liability cover.
More engineering, pharmaceuticals and automotive companies are buying product liability insurance. Demand for professional indemnity is also increasing.
On-ground practices by insurers has improved with many choosing to use mobile data and mobile technology to track potential claims, identify policyholders, reduce graft, speed up claim verification and processing, and lower the cost and headcount required for processing claims.
There is much scope in India for life insurance as well. India has the second largest mortality protection gap in absolute terms, at $8.6 trillion. Mortality protection gap is the difference in actual protection, compared to the protection needed to sustain a household at its same living standard after the death of a breadwinner.
The aggregate mortality protection gap in 13 Asia-Pacific markets widened to $58 trillion in 2014 from $42 trillion in 2010.
The downside risks to global growth are currently balanced, with some bias to the downside. Last year, the Euro area was a main concern but in 2015, China and the emerging markets are more worrisome.
The upside risk, still 10%, is not as large in growth terms as the downside risk, particularly in the Euro area and emerging markets. The possibility of a major regional downturn is also 10%, but it lowers growth by more than the upside lifts growth. Prospects for the US housing market have improved and the Eurozone is on surer footing, but China and commodity-exporting countries are hurting. Japan's prospects have not changed.
In the downside scenario, yields on government bonds would stay near current levels through to mid-2016 and perhaps longer, while equity markets would decline and credit spreads would widen.
In the upside scenario, US housing starts would reach some 1.5 million units in 2016, up from about 1.1 million this year. Consumers remain confident, so vehicle sales would top 18 million, up from about 17 million in 2015. In Europe, the UK economy would grow by more than 3%, based on domestic demand, and Spain by over 4%. Italy's recovery would gather steam on the back of the Prime Minister's reforms and Germany would also begin more economic reforms, boosting business confidence and investment.
Finally, China's policymakers would seek to put growth on a more sustainable path by reforming state-owned enterprises.
Under the baseline upside scenario, insurance premium growth will be close to GDP growth in the advanced economies and generally higher than GDP growth in the emerging markets, which will benefit from increased insurance penetration.
In the downside scenario, there is greater stress from lower premium growth and pressure on asset valuations.
The upside scenario would be more favourable for the re/insurance industry. Investment yields would improve and premium volumes would rise along with economic activity.


A. M. D. G. SOLEMN VOW. After much thought and prayer, feeling myself urged strongly by grace and the ceaseless pleading of Jesus, I have resolved to lead the life of absolute crucifixion which I know He wants and which alone will please Him.
I now promise and bind myself by vow (under mortal sin) ' to give Him everything until next Christmas Day, with the power of dispensing myself in case of necessity on any day.
Dear Jesus, I vow, with the help of Your grace, to give You all You ask for the future.
Good Friday, March 21st, 1913.
Death is the end of all things here, the end of time, of merit, of pain and mortification, of a hard life. It is the commencement of an eternal life of happiness and joy. In this light, life is short indeed and penance sweet. I thought if I knew I had only one year to live, how fervently I would spend it, how each moment would be utilised. Yet I know well I may not live a week more do I really believe this?
COMMENT: Today is the anniversary of the death of St Benedict, and in the older calendar it is his feast day. St Benedict, like St Joseph, is the patron of a happy death. Much of what we know about St Benedict comes from the writings of St Gregory the Great. Here is his description of the death of St Benedict on this day in 543.
Six days before he died, he gave orders for his tomb to be opened. Almost immediately he was seized with a violent fever that rapidly wasted his remaining energy. Each day his condition grew worse until finally, on the sixth day, he had his disciples carry him into the chapel where he received the Body and Blood of our Lord to gain strength for his approaching end. Then, supporting his weakened body on the arms of his brethren, he stood with his hands raised to heaven and, as he prayed, breathed his last.
St Benedict's death was a peaceful one. Fr Doyle spent himself tirelessly to try to bring a peaceful death to many fallen soldiers. His was the last face many of them saw, as he brought the consolation of his priestly presence in their last moments. It was in this cause that he died, when he ran into no man's land to rescue two wounded officers and was himself killed in the process.

TAYLOR TOMLINSON ANNOUNCES THE HAVE IT ALL TOUR FOR FALL 2022
Tuesday, June 7, 2022 - 5:00pm
Tickets on Sale June 10; Tour Kicks Off Oct. 7
Comedian to Appear in 20+ Cities Across U.S.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – As her new hour-long Netflix special "Look At You" tops critics lists for 2022, comedian Taylor Tomlinson is bringing her unflinching candor and biting wit to theaters this fall on The Have it All Tour. Tickets to catch the red-hot comedian on stage this fall go on sale Friday, June 10 at 10 a.m. local time at ttomcomedy.com.
"This new hour is all about how frustrating it can be trying to have both personal and professional success. So often your personal life is going well, but your career won't take off," shares Tomlinson. "Or your career is going well, but your relationships don't work out. Everyone wants what they don't have, the grass is always greener, blah blah blah. Basically, it's about figuring out if you can 'have it all' or if you're expecting too much."
Vulture notes, "Watching Tomlinson gives you the same comfort as a [Taylor] Swift concert or a Broadway show that's been on for years. This is a professional. This performance will be ultraproduced. You do not need to be anxious."
Beginning Oct. 7, Tomlinson tackles it all on her The Have it All Tour, appearing in 20 cities across the U.S. from Portland, Maine, to Ft. Myers, Fla., and Charlotte, N.C. to Oklahoma City.
Times' critic Jason Zinoman adds, Tomlinson's gift is "making weighty subjects come off as breezy. There's no way 'night terrors, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, a dead mother and a disturbingly blunt father, along with suicidal thoughts, should seem this delightful,'" he adds, noting that doing so requires skill and savvy well beyond her years.
For more information and to purchase tickets, visit ttomcomedy.com and follow Tomlinson on Facebook @TaylorTomlinsonComedy and on Instagram and Twitter @taylortomlinson.

Drunk Asbo teenager locked up for 11 weeks
By Laura Smith
A TEENAGER who breached an Asbo for being drunk outside a Southend nightclub has been jailed.
Codie Greenfield's antisocial behaviour order stipulated he could not be drunk in a public place.
The 19-year-old was arrested outside Talk nightclub, in Lucy Road, where he was spotted play fighting with a group of friends.
He had been celebrating his cousin's 21 birthday and admitted drinking three pints of lager, but said he did not feel drunk.
Suzanne Stringer, prosecuting, said he was stopped by a police officer at 3am, on April 10, and questioned. She said: "He describes him as play fighting with a number of other males, dancing around his friend, throwing a few punches, ducking and diving as if he was in a boxing match."
Lee Wilcockson, mitigating, said his client was not misbehaving, but he had breached the order for the third time.
He said: "He was messing around with a friend, performing karate kicks.
"If it was someone not on an antisocial behaviour order, that would not cross the threshold of criminal behaviour."
When the police officer asked for his name he claimed he was Nathanial Gill and produced a driving licence in that name.
Mr Wilcockson said the licence belonged to Greenfield's brother as he happened to have his wallet.
He said: "He was very well known to the police. It certainly wasn't an attempt to avoid capture that was sophisticated in any way."
Greenfield, of Riviera Drive, Southend, pleaded guilty to breaching an Asbo and to obstructing a police officer.
He was sentenced to eight weeks in a young offender's institute for breaching the order.
He was also given three weeks for obstructing an officer, to run concurrently.

In Why Iris Murdoch Matters Gary Browning draws on as yet unpublished archival material to present an unrivalled overview of Murdoch's work and thought. Browning argues for Murdoch's position amongst the key theorists of modern life, and discusses in detail her engagement with the notion of late modernity. Her multiple perspectives on art, philosophy, religion, politics and the self all relate to how she understands the nature of late modernity.
Browning lucidly illustrates that through both her thought and fiction we can grasp the significance of issues that remain of paramount importance today: the possibilities of a moral life without foundations, the meaning of philosophy in a post-metaphysical age, the prospects of politics without ideological certainties and the significance of art after realism.
A totally original work arguing persuasively that Iris Murdoch not only matters but is absolutely central to how we think through the contemporary age.
Gary Browning is Professor of Politics at Oxford Brookes University, UK where he is also Dean for Research in the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Denver, Colorado, printmaker Leon Loughridge will demonstrate his techniques in a residency Feb. 26 through March 2 on the SFA campus.
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The printmaking and graphic design programs within the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art will sponsor visiting artist Leon Loughridge the week of Feb. 26 through March 2.
Loughridge, a printmaker from Denver, Colorado, and owner of Dry Creek Art Press, will work on an edition of handmade prints while in residency on the SFA campus, and he will teach classes in the Japanese Moku Hanga style of printing.
A free public presentation of his work and unique techniques is scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28, in Art History Lecture Room B106 in the Art Building off Wilson Drive.
Loughridge developed an affinity for the Southwestern landscape while growing up on a ranch in Northern New Mexico and then attended the Colorado Institute of Art. While stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, he traveled extensively throughout Europe and studied painting techniques of the old masters for two years.
He is noted for his layered woodblock prints, which capture the atmospheric qualities of the southwestern landscape. His woodcuts are exhibited nationally and collected by museums and collectors. He has also developed a versatile ink base.
As a printmaker, Loughridge states that he wants to record in printed form the "emotional connection" he has to his original plein-aire sketches and paintings.
"While sketching is a very direct and invigorating process, creating a print in the studio is almost the opposite - slow and methodical," he writes in his artist statement. "The challenge of translating a painterly image into a block print is to capture the energy of the original into the print, not to merely duplicate the image. Using the technical aspects of relief printing as expressive tools, and not as limitations, allows for an intuitive and spontaneous print. To see that the passion of the original sketch has been translated into the print is the artist's reward."
Art faculty members Neal Cox (printmaking) and Peter Andrew (graphic design) have organized Loughridge's residency. For more information, call the School of Art at (936) 468-4804.
"Aspen Stand" is by Colorado printmaker Leon Loughridge, who will give a free public presentation of his work and techniques at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28, in Art History Lecture Room B106 in the Art Building off Wilson Drive.

Ryan Reynolds Is Giving Fans Hilariously Polite Excuses for Why He Can't Have Sex with Them
"Just planting fresh flowers at a local community center right now," he answered one fan cordially.

As a former Sexiest Man Alive, it's no surprise Ryan Reynolds is receiving sexual propositions from fans on social media. But the increasingly bizarre nature of the requests has captured the star's attention – and his imagination.
For instance, when one Twitter user suggested that Reynolds "eat my a–," the actor said he was too busy doing some gardening around the neighborhood. "Aww. Just planting fresh flowers at a local community center right now," he answered cordially.
When another fan asked if Reynolds would "f— me until I die," the actor replied that he would be regrettably unavailable. "Sorry to miss it," he tweeted back. "Just washing Kirk Cameron's feet with liquid prayer."
One Twitter user even offered his wife to the star. "Shag my wife Ryan," he wrote plainly. Unfortunately, Reynolds was once again forced to decline. "No, I'm in Washington D.C. trying to broker real change," he answered.
Another creative user asked the actor to "tear my appendix out [and] tickle my a—–." But at the time, Reynolds said he was busy "just trying to finish this charcoal sketch of The Last Supper."
In a strangely similar request, another adventurous fan asked, "Can you shove a chopstick up my a——?" But this time Reynolds was too busy saving wildlife. "Sorry, just trying to get this wild dolphin untangled from fishing line."
As for how his wife, Blake Lively, is handling all these bizarre requests, Reynolds' says he has a sneaking suspicion she could be involved. "I've got to ask, what does your wife say about these very explicit 'fan requests' you get?" one tweeter asked. "Pretty sure it's my wife writing most of those," he answered. "Sounds like her."
And when another fan expressed concern for his daughter, James, reading these tweets one day, Reynolds was quick to calm any fears. "Jokes on you," he wrote. "We're not teaching her to read. Boom."

1919 Market Street Lofts
Located on 1.44 acres at 1919 Market St., the adaptive-reuse project was once an industrial-zoned Greyhound Bus Terminal. Apart from trying to connect with its residential and retail neighbors, Greyhound lofts had to be programmed within the allotted volume of its previous occupant, the bus repair terminal, due to local building codes. The property offers a variety unit types to accommodate not only small business owners in the work/live lofts, but also 2-3 BDRM units for families. Exterior walls would retain elements of the original industrial façade in honor of the building's past, but where it once had large buses roll in and out, it will now boast landscaped courtyards, a retail coffee bar in the lobby, a resident lounge and bike room.

Market Street Facade leans to be a more approachable and small business oriented approach due to the street's active and retail oriented appeal
Myrtle Street Facade has a more residential, intimate and private approach due to the family residence oriented appeal of this axis

What Each Song from Selena Gomez's New Album 'Rare' Means
Selena Gomez's much-anticipated album "Rare" has finally been released on Friday, January 10. Four years after releasing her last album, she is finally back and feeling better than ever.
In an email sent to her fans, Gomez said: "I hope you take this record that means so much to me and make it your own."
"Rare" is a personal mix of songs about finding yourself, letting go of the past, recognizing self-worth, and particularly addressing an exciting time in one's life.
Fans of the "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress have the fans asking, "Are all songs about Justin Bieber?" "Are there songs about The Weeknd?" "Are there any hidden messages to the lyrics?"
We try to uncover all the hidden messages in Gomez's latest album.
A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on Jan 9, 2020 at 8:59pm PST
"Rare"
It is the opening song of the album, which seems to be about feeling unappreciated by a particular person in her life. It is one of the first of many songs that she sings about independence and self-love.
The first song takes the listeners to a journey where the singer-actress realizes that she can find someone better -- someone who can make her feel loved and wanted.
"Dance Again"
In this song, Gomez has found "total happiness." It is an upbeat song in tune with her emotions. After all she has been through, she "feels so good to dance again."
"Look at Her Now"
This is the second single off the album that she released.
The song recounted every moment in her life when she decided to get over her ex after he moves on with another girl. Many fans speculated that this song is about the time Gomez has realized that she is better off without Justin Bieber.
"Lose You to Love Me"
If you are looking for a song to begin a new chapter, this one is it.
The super emotional track was the first song Gomez released, introducing her fans to a new era. The song is about Justin Bieber and her tumultuous on-and-off relationship with him.
This song is far from her usual upbeat pop songs because it has a darker tone. Gomez sings about dating guys and having them wrapped around her finger like a "ring."
"Vulnerable"
Wondering what will happen if she exposes her true self to someone new, Gomez decided that it is worth taking the risk to find love again.
The song also opens up about being nervous and about opening up to the same person multiple times because even if it has already failed. Fans speculate that the song is also about Bieber, who she had multiple on-and-off times in their eight-year relationship.
"People You Know"
It is a catchy track that talks about what happens when relationships are over.
"Let Me Get Me"
Gomez sings about being independent in this song. She found herself and has become comfortable in her mind, according to the lyrics.
"Crowded Room"
One of the sultry songs on the album, the song features 6lack, and they sing about love at first sight.
It is about being in a crowded room and seeing someone that makes her feel like they are the only two people there. Many fans believe that this song is about The Weeknd since many reports said that they had an instant connection upon meeting.
"Kinda Crazy"
Channeling Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," this track is a funky bop about seeing right through someone's real personality.
Gomez calls out a super shady boy who starts sweet but then turns out to be crazy.
Fans believe that it is a response to Charlie Puth's song "Attention" since the two had a very short fling in 2017. Gomez reportedly "put out" Puth after she friend-zoned him.
"Fun"
Gomez once again sings a catchy song that talks about a casual fling. While she knows that the boy might not be the one, it does not stop her from wanting something with him.
"Cut You Off"
If you need a fresh slate, this song is for you. It is another song that seems to be directed at her previous boyfriend and is all about moving on.
The song reveals the feeling of wanting to remove the extra weight, referring to someone in her life who treated her without any love.
"A Sweeter Place"
The final track in her album speaks about Gomez finally being in a better place in her life.
The song features Kid Cudi, and they sing about keeping all the worries away with meaningful lyric references to her Lupus diagnosis, mental health struggles, and accepting her past.
Gomez has finally arrived at a sweeter place.

The results of my code look like:
http://i67.tinypic.com/qp1l5d.png
The drop down menu is not opening on click. Can I achieve it or get a similar CSS/HTML menu drop down like the picture above?
Big thanks for your time and contribution is my solutions

A: My solution to get an effect like the photo attached would be to amend the .menu ul.active class giving it:

*

*transition: all .5s; for smooth scrolling

*overflow:hidden; so the menu items are hidden when no being toggled

*height:0px; to give it a default height of nothing - *important

The I would created a new class called .drop and use JavaScript to toggle this new class on and off the ul. See both sets of amended code below and here is a JSFiddle link to the working solution - https://jsfiddle.net/2vqp39nd/2/
CSS Changes -
.menu ul.active {
    transition: all .5s;
    height:0px;
    overflow:hidden;
  }

  .drop {
  height:170px!important;
  /* Set this at required height */
}

JavaScript Changes -
var ul = document.getElementsByClassName('active')[0],
  btn = document.getElementsByClassName('toggle-nav')[0];

  function dropDown () {
        ul.classList.toggle('drop');
    }

  btn.addEventListener('click',dropDown,false);

On the Record: Heather Marlowe, Playwright
by Enforce Rape Laws | May 7, 2017 | Uncategorized
By Victoria Garber
Source: The Oberlin Review
Playwright, actor and activist Heather Marlowe graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009 with a degree in art history before moving to San Francisco, where she dedicated much of her time to theater classes. Motivated by her own experiences with the criminal justice system after being raped, Marlowe has worked with the survivor-advocacy organization People for the Enforcement of Rape Laws and produced a solo show, The Haze, which she performed at Oberlin this week. Speaking with The Review, Marlowe reflects on art as a healing mechanism and the realities of rape culture in the United States.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
You described the "haze" your play is named for as a kind of dissociative state that helped you through childhood trauma. How would you characterize the role it's played in your life, and what significance does it hold as the name of your play?
As a child, I wasn't aware that I was going into those states — I think when children experience trauma, that sort of response is more automatic — and it's not something I became aware of until I was an adult because [at that point] it starts to interfere with your life. It played a really positive role in my life as a young child because it's a protective mechanism, and as an adult I have come to understand that if I'm triggered or if I get in places where I'm under a lot of stress — or [after] what happened with the rape — I've found myself going back into that state again. I've had to learn to be accepting [of the fact] that that's how I was conditioned to cope, but [I've] also done a lot of personal therapy work to make it so that I can bring myself out of that state a little bit better.
I decided to call [the play The Haze] because it has a dual meaning I think. One is just about what I call this dissociative state, but I [also] felt like this whole experience … going through the criminal justice system … is almost like they put you through [a hazing experience]. More often than not, I read about this kind of treatment — this kind of indifference — and you're put through all of these barriers in an attempt to reach an end goal.
Your play pretty explicitly detailed your own assault several years ago, as well as the incredibly impersonal way that you and your case were treated by authorities. Can you go into some of what happened, and how your case was handled?
I was a victim of being drugged and raped by … a stranger or somebody I'd known for all of five, 10 minutes and had barely interacted with. I feel in retrospect that I was targeted. When I reported, I surrendered my body to have a sexual assault kit done, which is where the State takes the evidence from your body to … test for a [DNA] match for the suspect. I was told that that evidence taken from my body would be tested within 14 to 60 days, and I didn't hear back from law enforcement despite continuing to follow up. I got no answers … and to this day, I'm not really sure of the details of the evidence that I had taken from me [or] whether it was properly tested.
In addition to my evidence not being tested, the San Francisco Police Department also mishandled my investigation by [basically] putting me in charge of the investigation myself. There was a potential suspect, [and] in order for me to be considered a "credible victim," they put me in a lot of dangerous situations. They made me go inside the house of a potential suspect without a warrant and with no assistance. I had to go in by myself to see if I could properly identify the house [where] this happened to me. They [made] me contact the potential suspect myself. I had to pretend to flirt with him. I had to make him think that I wanted to get together for "more fun," and then they wanted me to go out on a date with him so I could ID him in person, all because they felt that that would strengthen their case. Those are just some of the myriad [reasons] I ended up filing a complaint with our city's watchdog program after this happened.
You employ a lot of pretty dark humor to underscore the absurdity of the responses you got from police and the people around you. Would you characterize that as more of a coping mechanism or a way to better convey how ridiculous and broken the system is?
I think it's always been both. At this point in my life, enough time has passed that I feel like it's more of a way to enhance the absurdity of how this was dealt with. Also, as an artist [I know] that if you're an audience member, it would be really intense to sit through something like this. I would need some levity. People just don't want to think that this kind of thing is going on, so I use humor to give the audience a break, as an artistic choice. Also, as someone who's been performing it over and over, it gives myself a break, and when the audience laughs it's really helpful for me too. It helps convey the absurdity of the whole thing if you look at it in a meta way.
From studies you've seen and from what other women have told you, how common are these sorts of experiences and responses to women who've been raped?
So common. My story is "unique" in that it happened to me and I have my own response to it, but when I started performing about this and researching, getting more familiar with the [facts and] hearing from other women [about] this issue of police indifference to this crime, [I found it to be very] common. There's nothing special about what happened to me. Even in terms of the standard operating practice of making the victim be in touch with [a known] perpetrator or a potential suspect, I've heard from victims in San Francisco that had to do the exact same thing. There's got to be a better way to do this.
You've indicated that institutions work to minimize the number of assaults they have to report because those numbers look bad as part of the public record. Can you elaborate on that?
The FBI Unified Crime Report [is] a glimpse into every city's crime statistics, and you want to keep your numbers low across the board, but rape … for whatever reason … is somehow perceived in our culture as kind of the worst of the crimes that can happen [to you], so it's advantageous for cities to keep that number low. There's a great legal scholar, Corey Rayburn Yung, who has done some excellent work going in and looking at the number of rapes reported in a city and then comparing that with the city's population and creating a statistical model that essentially proves that police are underreporting this crime.
Can you describe the conditions that have led to the hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits nationwide?
Testing a rape kit can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,500. Untested rape kits don't just happen in a vacuum. They are a symptom of this larger problem of police and law enforcement disappearing this crime. It really has a lot to do with this culture of not believing women who come forward. In the '70s … there were laws passed so that criminals would be held accountable. That's great, but then something has to be done about [enforcement], and when we [compare] the number of women who report all the way through the criminal justice system to the number of women whose rapists see a day in jail, it's a funnel.
I would argue that where the most change needs to happen is actually at the very beginning, which is a thorough [preliminary] investigation. Almost 40 years after [better rape laws were] passed, [a 2016 federal investigation concluded] that the [Baltimore] sex crimes unit unfound a large proportion of complaining victims, meaning they [ignored the case because they] didn't believe the victims. From there, even if a woman has gone through the procedures of getting a rape kit done, the rape kit is in some cases thrown away [or] put in a warehouse, and resources are never spent on testing the kit. You can think of this as a public-safety crisis, because every time they unfound, the person who committed this crime is free, so they're going out and — as the data is starting to show — recommitting these crimes.
You also spoke against proposed legislation and efforts to crowdfund the processing of rape kits. Why?
[People for the Enforcement of Rape Laws], the organization I'm a part of [and I] … believe that [crowdfunding] sends a message [to] the criminal justice system, which includes law enforcement, and also to perpetrators, that our tax dollars, which we already pay … are not put toward prioritizing equal protection under the law for women [by taking the basic steps of] investigating their case and testing their kits. Crowdfunding sends a message that in the future we don't ever really need to put resources toward this because, "Look, all of these people are coming together with good intentions, and we can just get people to come together again … when necessary, and we're off the hook." … Do we crowdfund for murder? Are we crowdfunding for [other crimes]? No, we're not, so it begs the questions of, "OK, is this really a crime, or a para-criminal offense?"
Since it seems that a lot of these issues stem at least in part from a fear of the negative PR rape statistics generate, would you say that a potential way to turn that around would be to ensure worse PR for unfounding or mishandling sexual assault cases?
There was a time — even as early as ten years ago — where the investigative journalism around this issue really did create a PR crisis for these law enforcement agencies, and it didn't give law enforcement much … of an out for what they'd done. There are nonprofits that have [since] gotten involved, and [many of] these nonprofits are hiring people who work in crisis management. What I've seen happen is, law enforcement has come forward with numbers, and then these nonprofits that are [ostensibly survivor advocacy organizations] have come in … in Detroit, in Memphis, in Cleveland and more, and [they've worked] with law enforcement to create a way for them to apologize … in a way that neutralizes the crisis that they're in. These groups will be quoted in articles [saying things like], "It looks like Detroit is now going to be really focused on testing every kit," and "In the past they were unable to do this is because of a lack of resources." That is the number one reason [that is] cited for all of these cities. [These organizations] act like they're survivor-focused, but they are apologizing for law enforcement failing survivors. It allows [law enforcement] to come forward with their numbers and not ever have to be that accountable … and [makes] the public think that if they just had more money, then this problem would have been solved. The funding thing is a total lie. The federal government, under the Violence Against Women Act, has an act within that called the Debbie Smith Act. They have created these block grants to the tune of a billion dollars and money has been flowing to law enforcement for the past ten years for the very purpose of testing DNA evidence … from these kits, and here we are, ten years later, and we're still at [hundreds of thousands] of untested kits. Funding is a really appalling excuse, … and the issue of untested kits is … cultural indifference, but that's the state of where PR is on this issue.
Is there evidence that the money intended for investigating sex crimes and testing these backlogs is being used for things like the war on drugs or traffic enforcement that generate more revenue for these agencies?
I have yet to see investigative journalism that can [compare] how much they got [to] where it flowed to. [There's] an overall lack of accountability and transparency about how the money was used in these grants. There was no tracking of how it was being used … and that just opens another can of worms, and you start to think, "Then what was it used for?" I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but when you don't track things, you do leave yourself open to [people] wondering what the funding was actually used for.
It's actually one of these crisis groups that is managing the funding, and I have yet to see this group require any transparency and accountability in how that money is being spent. It's a rinse and repeat with the block grants under the Debbie Smith Act. A decade later, why do we still have this volume of untested kits? We're doing it again.

In Hong Kong, Filipina domestic workers slave 24/7. They must house themselves with their employers, receive meager wages and have few opportunities to return home to their families. It is never a simple task to make a living abroad in an unfamiliar country. Only on Sundays are they relieved of their duties, but their work doesn't cease. Even leisure requires labor as they rehearse and perform in one of the few pleasures that they can enjoy off-schedule: beauty pageants. Hundreds of Filipina women view and participate in friendly competitions of elegant and emotional displays.
"Sunday Beauty Queen" is a slice of life about how Filipina women cope with the precarious nature of their occupations and social situations through communal performance. It sympathetically addresses their goals as relatable human desires as they struggle in both the home and the stage to make ends meet. Strong familial connections to their relatives at home, their employers and each other help the Filipina women of Hong Kong persevere through economic uncertainty and instability.
Fear and greed have long since dwelt at the heart of American values. We kill for land, invade for oil and destabilize democracies for influence — but there's a remove in how we frame our visceral foreign policy and the domestic. There's a mistaken belief that we treat our citizens better, but we've never been immune to our own vices.
Our internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII highlights the frailty of liberty and fraternity under times of duress. Yet, there's no other nation with our diversity and strength. "Resistance at Tule Lake" reifies both the strength of people and the inexcusable, illegal actions of a government that has made a tradition of subjugating its citizens. The proud Americans dragged to this camp fought for their constitutional rights and were rebuked for it. A strike that began after the death of an internee at the hands of an unqualified underage worker was the catalyst for waves of protest and activism. As a nation of immigrants and contradictions, we must establish the fight for equality and justice as an active goal — not a pipe dream.
story about a journey to self-discovery, "Window Horses" utilizes the literary history of a myriad of cultures, from Iranian to Canadian to Chinese, to explore the complexities of identity.
The quirky animation style of "Window Horses" is also incorporated seamlessly into the story: Every character is drawn with faces reminiscent of Picasso paintings, except for Rosie, who is portrayed as a nondescript stick figure to symbolize her identity crisis. In an age where globalization is closing the gaps between cultures, "Window Horses" is a beautiful reminder of the importance of individuality that comes from everyone's unique cultural identity.
The parties responsible for the 2008 global financial crisis remain largely unprosecuted. In 2009, New York City law enforcement chose instead to focus their attention on one small, family-run bank in Chinatown. Going off mainly circumstantial evidence and desperate for a high-profile case, city attorneys attempted to make this small bank a scapegoat for the failure of an entire system.
The core of the film is the story of the Sung family, first-generation Chinese immigrants who worked in the Chinese immigrant community. They labored tirelessly to serve a historically marginalized group, providing financial services in their place as pillars of the community. This community's members were often at the mercy of questionable practices by law enforcement and city officials. The film is their story, one of perseverance and triumph in the face of overzealous prosecution.
"Of Civil Rights and Wrongs: The Fred Korematsu Story" tells the story from the perspectives of those closest to the disastrous Supreme Court decision that deemed Japanese internment camps constitutional, including Fred Korematsu's. This documentary from 2000 explores many compelling details that are unknown to most Americans. We learn that Korematsu was dating a white woman at the time of his arrest, whom he never saw again, and that he felt partly responsible for the camps after his loss in court. That court decision established a precedent for the legality of the government's devastating discriminatory actions. In spite of being a story from and about the past, "The Fred Korematsu Story" remains relevant to the present and asks us to stay vigilant in the future.
The company has a new policy: No dating between colleagues. Boss and tyrannical overseer Oanh is eager to enforce the mandate — and that's the rub; she's dating her coworker, Cuong. Hell, they're going to get married! In the spirit of fair competition, the two resolve to fight over which one can remain employed at the bank … and all hell breaks loose.
"She's the Boss" is a comedy of financial missteps and self-destructive competition, and a zany romp from start to finish. The problems truly escalate when a company ATM malfunctions and Cuong and Oanh are tasked with retrieving the lost cash — the game is on, and only the best employee may win. All's fair in love and war, and Vietnamese-American director Ham Tran brings both to bear in this charming rom-com.

Don't Fall In Love With One Player: Behavioral Finance Lessons From the NFL Draft
April 24, 2012, 8:58 a.m. EDT
Financial advisors looking to understand how emotion can botch an investment decision need to look no further than the National Football League draft.
Richard H. Thaler, a professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and co-author of the best selling book Nudge, set out to with a former student to investigate their hunch that teams overvalue picking early and pay too much for top draft picks, including trading other picks.
And the results matched their theory, Thaler told the audience at IMCA's annual conference in National Harbor, Md. on Monday. As an example, look to the Washington Redskins this year, he said. That team had the sixth spot and traded with the St. Louis Rams for the second spot, moving up four picks.
To make that trade, the Redskins sacrificed their first round pick next year, their first round pick the following year and the second round pick this year. Altogether, that makes for a "huge price," Thaler said.
"What we investigated was whether it's a smart strategy to pay up. And the answer is no. You should trade down," Thaler said. "In terms of the surplus the team gets, the sixth pick is actually worth more than the second."
For teams that trade a third round pick this year for a second round pick this year, the interest rate for that one round up amounts to 176%, Thaler said from his calculations.
"These football team owners are all billionaires," Thaler said. "I think it's safe to assume that they didn't get to be billionaires by borrowing at 176% rate of interest. But they're so desperate to win that they get emotional and fall in love with a player."
The smartest teams do two things: trade down and lend. Thaler and his student, who wrote a paper on their research, currently advise one NFL team on their decisions, which still can be tough, Thaler said. That team, like others, can be guilty of falling in love with a player and believing they will solve all of their problems, he said.
The team that consistently trades down or trades a current pick for future picks is the New England Patriots. Team head coach Bill Belichick was an economics major at Wesleyan University, has read Thaler's research paper and understands it, Thaler said.
"That's not the team we work for, because Belichick just read the paper and doesn't have to pay us," Thaler said.
Financial advisors who are looking to get a sense of the behavioral tendencies of their clients often turn to risk tolerance questionnaires. But Thaler thinks those tests might not be the more accurate measure.
"People don't know their risk tolerance," Thaler said. "Even as individuals, we're not consistent."
Someone who skydives regularly might have all of their investments in Treasury bills, Thaler said. Whether that person is aggressive or conservative depends on the domain.
Thaler said he has worked for years on developing a more accurate questionnaire to evaluate a client's risk tolerance, and is not sure it is possible.
"I think there might be a better way to do it that might be a very high tech way to do it that would involve putting people into scenarios where they could actually live through something," Thaler said.

Q: Calculating Image Displacement - Java In short I'm doing the same thing that an optical mouse does.
I'm taking two 2D-arrays of gray-scale and right now am comparing equal values to see what the difference is.
Example:
Array1:
1 1 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
Array2:
0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0
0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0
Here is the code I have right now to test it. I'm only checking for 1's right now as if it were the actual image. Changing that isn't hard.
int[][] t1 = new int[][]{
                {1,1,0,0},
                {0,1,0,0},
                {0,0,0,0},
                {0,0,0,0}
        };
        int[][] t2 = new int[][]{
                {0,0,0,0},
                {0,1,1,0},
                {0,0,1,0},
                {0,0,0,0}
        };
        double mag = 0.0;
        double angle = 0.0;
        int num = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < t2.length; i++){
            for (int j = 0; j < t2[i].length; j++){
                if(t2[i][j] == 0) continue;
                //scan through and calculate average magnitude/angle
                if(t2[i][j] == 1){
                    for (int k = 0; k < t1.length; k++){
                        for (int l = 0; l < t1[k].length; l++){
                            if(t1[k][l] == 1){
                                mag += calculateMagnitude(l, k, j, i);
                                angle -= calculateAngle(l, k, j, i);
                                num++;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        double fMag = mag/num;
        double fAngle = angle/num;
        System.out.println(fMag);
        System.out.println(fAngle);
public static double calculateAngle(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2){
    if(y2 == y1){
        if(x2 > x1) return 90.0;
        else if(x2 < x1) return -90.0;
        else return 0.0;
    } else if(x2 == x1){
        if(y2 > y1) return 0.0;
        else if(y2 < y1) return -180.0;
    }
    return Math.toDegrees(Math.atan( ((double)(y2-y1))/(x2-x1) ));
}

public static double calculateMagnitude(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2){
    double d1 = Math.pow((x2 - x1),2);
    double d2 = Math.pow((y2 - y1), 2);
    return Math.sqrt(d1 + d2);
}

However this is quite taxing as it's O(n^4) and I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do this. I've done quite a bit of research but as of now have not been able to figure out how to do it. Also right now the exact answer should be 1.414 and -45 which means I'm off by roughly 6%. This is okay, but I'd like to be more exact.
If anyone knows a way or can figure out a way to do this more efficiently and/or precisely please post. Not to sound like an ass, but linking me to a PhD research paper and saying it should work isn't what I'm looking for. I've done a fair amount of research and those papers mostly refer if the image is still displayed completely on the screen.
I'm looking for a way to calculate the image displacement even if a portion of the image goes of screen.

A: It seems that you have a simple registration problem, i'm pretty sure there are simpler ways to solve your problem but the fastest (in terms of implementation time) is just to use something like SIFT, if you don't have a problem with using 3rd parties you can use something from this list Implementing SIFT in Java
Sift will find similar patches in both images and from there it will be pretty easy to calculate the translation of the images.

A: This answer isn't too specific but is too long to fit in a comment:
The appropriate method depends on your input and the scenario. It's not clear to me if you're trying to see how a particular point in the image moves, or if you're trying to align the whole image to the next frame. Different parts of your question suggest one or the other to me.
Are you able to add examples of the image/frames you want to use? How are they captured? This will help a lot. I'm not sure if you're trying to align complex photographs or basic screenshots with a mouse cursor or something else entirely. If you can be as specific as possible here, people can hopefully help you with the technique without just simply linking you to a research paper.
If you are trying to find where a specific part of one image is in the next frame, you should look up "template matching".
If you are trying to align one whole image to the next and you know that this is given by a simple translation of the image, then you should look up things like image alignment, image registration along with the term "coarse to fine".
A technique that operates "coarse to fine" generally works as follows: You start with a small, resized version of both images, find the displacement there, then scale up and find the displacement at the next scale with the coarse solution as an initial guess (and you search close to this initial guess) and repeat until you are at the full resolution. The aim is to speed things up and avoid the solution being trapped in local minima.
If have two frames with lots of complex motion then you want to look up "optical flow" which aims to find a displacement per-pixel.

India's Ruling BJP Blames Political Opponents for Setting Fire to Office in West Bengal
https://sputniknews.com/india/202001131078019437-indias-ruling-bjp-blames-political-opponents-for-setting-fire-to-office-in-west-bengal/
New Delhi (Sputnik): India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Trinamool Congress (TMC), the ruling party of eastern West Bengal, have been at loggerheads since BJP gained popularity in the state. TMC had 44 seats during the 2014 Indian parliamentary elections, but had to concede several seats to BJP in the 2019 polls.
On Sunday (12 January), hours after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded a two-day visit to West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) office in Asansol district, around 200 kilometres away from state capital Kolkata was set on fire. BJP has blamed the blaze it on its TMC political opponents for the incident.

BJP alleges TMC's role behind this incident.

— TIMES NOW (@TimesNow) January 13, 2020
"Important documents and files have been burnt to ashes while the damage is different. We are sure that the office was set ablaze by didi's (referring to Mamata Banerjee) goons. They are attacking us every now and then," said a BJP worker.
The police said they were investigating the case from all angles.
It was Prime Minister Modi's first visit after taking office for a second term in May 2019.
I am excited to be in West Bengal today and tomorrow. I am delighted to be spending time at the Ramakrishna Mission and that too when we mark Swami Vivekananda's Jayanti. There is something special about that place.
Chief of West Bengal and leader of TMC Mamta Banerjee had been organising public protests against India's controversial Citizenship Law and accused the BJP of trying to brand opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act as communal. The law, which was introduced in December and came into force on 10 January, grants citizenship rights to illegal immigrants belonging to religious minorities from three neighbouring Islamic countries, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Several opposition parties and activists have alleged that, the law was discriminatory and violates the Constitution of India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President and federal Home Minister Amit Shah have claimed, it was made to save minorities from those three countries from religious persecution.

Electro pop duo, Scavenger Hunt (aka Dan Mufson and Jill Lamoureux), make a return with 'River Runs Dry'.
It's the first single off their forthcoming EP, and once again offers a driving-beat sound with soaring vocals and xylophone accents.
Loving this new track from Los Angeles-based trio, Cannons.
'Down on Love' is synth heavy, and lavished with guitars. It's not making us down at all!
The new single from LA's electro-pop duo Scavenger Hunt is out!
It's a 90's inspired pop gem. Perfect to keep the weekend vibe going.
This track is the first off their new EP of the same name, which is out on 23 June.
For Esmé is Martha Meredith, Dave Thiel & Nathan Crook from Toronto.
Produced by James Bunton, the video for their new track 'You' follows the band exploring and letting loose in a school late at night.
It's been a while since we wrote about some synth pop, but it's spring time, so why not!
Florida-based synth pop duo Priest (formerly X priest X) have released brand new track 'Broken'.
It's modern pop that glides subtly between 80s lo-fi pop and sharply syncopated rhythms that fit like a glove for a John Hughes film soundtrack.
It is second single from their forthcoming debut album 'Priest', which is to be released on 5 May via Swedish label Emotion.
For Esmé is Toronto-based band that is giving us some real deep electronica feelings right now.
The band consists of three friends, Martha, Nathan and Dave, who all met through a mutual friend.
Dave filled in last minute for a show in Montreal and enjoyed playing with For Esmé so much that he packed his stuff into the tour van the next morning and moved to Toronto.
The echoey vocals from Martha on their debut track 'Just Yet' are accompanied by lush pulsating beats. The track has been co-produced by James Bunton.

At the tender preschool ages, most children don't recognize when they are being bullied or when they are bullying others. However, this is a good time for parents to discuss bullying with their children and hopefully prevent lasting, harmful effects. There are 3 easy ways to teach your preschooler about bullying.
Physical Pain: Pushing, biting, hitting, pinching and tripping are some examples of physical pain caused by a preschooler. And size doesn't always matter – even small children can win a physical fight against a larger, more docile child.
Emotional Pain: Name calling, teasing, spreading rumors, excluding certain children, and taunting cause emotional pain. Verbal abuse and ostracism both make a child feel dejected and lonely. They struggle to develop socially and lose their self-confidence.
Find Positive Solutions: A bully this young needs to realize that they don't have friends if they hurt others. Most of these books focus on helping the bully become a friend, and this can help your child find positive ways to interact with children their age and stop bullying before it gets out of control.
Verbalize How They Feel: A 3- or 4-year old who is being bullied might not be able to verbalize how they feel. Your child may have told you someone is mean, or that they don't like a certain child, but now they have the words to better express what's going on. You might learn that your child is being called names that make them uncomfortable or they are scared to go to preschool because they get hurt. If you know specifics on what is happening, you can be more productive in your approach to change it.
For the Bully: Ask your child to help you identify when you are being negative. This will help the child see the behavior and analyze how it affects them. Your child will have more empathy for other children. When you hear about your child bullying someone else, don't respond in anger – this only reinforces negative behaviors. Instead, find suitable consequences such as no TV privileges or fewer sweets for hurtful behavior. Reward positive behaviors. Explaining how consequences work will motivate your child to change.
For the Bullied: The first thing a bullied preschooler needs to do is talk to parents and teachers. Let your child know that they will be safer if they tell someone what is happening, even if the bully has threatened them. Help them find a friend at school by arranging for play dates outside of preschool, so they feel more confident going to class. Boost their confidence by praising them for little things each day.
As a parent, it's hard to admit that even a preschooler needs to learn about bullying. But if you take a positive approach at this young age, you can help avoid heartache in the future.

During the winters, drivers should take extra caution when driving. Snow and ice can spell trouble, especially for those drivers who do not have experience driving in those conditions, or those who fail to prepare. One of the most important aspects of winter car preparation is tire care. Snow tire chains provide one option for drivers who find themselves in slick conditions.
The first rule of tire chains is to make sure they can actually be used on your vehicle. That means dragging out the old owner's manual. After ensuring that tire chains are safe for your car, truck, of SUV, check with local law enforcement officers to make sure that chains are legal in your state. When shopping for snow tire chains, make sure that they fit the tires before actual use. Tire chains should be pre-fit long before going out into the snow. Drivers should carefully follow the directions of installing their tire chains, which should be applied as tightly as possible by hand. When installing the chains, tires should be at normal inflation - no deflating the tires for an easier application process! After putting the tire chains on all four tires, drive about one-quarter of a mile, then stop and retighten. When driving with snow tire chains, drivers should not exceed 30 miles per hour.
For cars, there are many snow tire chain options to choose from. Cable chains are the most economical choice; they are lightweight and often have galvanized steel rollers for increased traction on vehicles with limited fender clearance. Twist link chains are another economical choice for vehicles with minimal clearance. Highway chains are usually all-steel with a twist link design also, but these chains are designed for vehicles with non-restricted wheel well clearance, and the heavier chains provide added durability and traction. Sno Grip chains are an excellent option for winter weather - they provide superior traction and a smooth ride, and the square link design allows for better standing, stopping, and cornering than any other conventional ladder design. Road King chains offer a square link design, with a Y pattern chain. This offers drivers a comfortable, yet aggressive drive, with less vibration and noise. Finally, V-Bar snow tire chains provide aggressive traction for snow removal and emergency vehicles, but they should not be used on vehicles with restricted wheel well clearance.
Regardless of the brand or style of snow tire chains used, winter drivers should make sure that the chains are the proper fit and are correctly installed in order to offer the most protection for the driver and passengers.

Arkansas has hired Nevada's Eric Musselman as its next men's basketball coach.
The 54-year-old Musselman led a dramatic turnaround in Reno, leading the Wolf Pack to three NCAA Tournament in four years after a nine-year absence. Nevada reached the Sweet 16 in 2018, but lost in the first round to Florida this year.
The son of a former coach, Musselman has had a well-traveled career. He coached the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors in the NBA, had stints in the CBA and D-League, along with assistant jobs in the NBA and college.
Razorbacks athletic director Hunter Yurachek announced Musselman's hiring Sunday on Twitter. Musselman replaces Mike Anderson, who was fired last month after eight seasons.

Stephen Marks
Stephen Marks suffered from a serious back problem that doctors said would prevent a return to active and impact sport. Surgery beckoned but Hatha Yoga intervened and after a long and patient road a slow return to normality ensued. First came the physical benefits. Next came the mental benefits focused around how yoga can be calming for the mind. Working more with the breath and meditative techniques that used yoga to help reduce stress, Stephen trained in Yoga Nidra - deeply relaxing sleep yoga techniques.
Stephen has been to over 80 countries exploring his love for yoga including India, Thailand, Bali, the Middle East, Central America, and Europe. He particularly likes to practice Flow and Yin and Hatha and has practiced with great teachers like Simon Low, David Sye and Les Leventhal.

Guest editor Bob Cotton OBE believes that hospitality workers can enhance their personal development, and therefore the business, by getting involved in projects outside work - and in some cases outside the industry.
Here, Tom Vaughan, Chris Druce and Joanna Wood profile an industry professional who has given up his time to help a Trade charity.
Founded in the 1940s, the PM Trust was originally called the PM Club and offered a place for employees working split shifts in hotels and restaurants to meet and relax in the afternoon (hence PM). The club began, over time, to offer residential accommodation as well as career guidance to young members of the hospitality industry. Although the club closed in 2002, its objectives live on in the newly formed charity, the PM Trust, which aims to assist young people embarking on a career in hospitality by providing financial assistance for college fees and equipment.
Bob Cotton answers some questions on his support of the charity.
Why are you involved with the PM Trust? There's nothing more important than encouraging young people to gain qualifications in the industry. The help that we can give can tip the balance between someone taking a course and someone not taking a course.
Who does it help? Is it targeted at specific individuals? We help both individuals and colleges - but only in the London area, as the PM Club was originally a London-based organisation. Our main purpose is to help students who need assistance in buying knives, books and uniform. These can be quite expensive, so the funding we provide can be really useful. Students need to apply to us - preferably via their college. I wish colleges in the London area were more aware of our existence. Last year we held an event for the colleges. We invited 30, 22 accepted and only three turned up, which is strange when we have money we can distribute to their students. At the moment, we're helping students at Thames Valley University, Westminster Kingsway, the College of North West London and Lakefield in Hampstead - a kind of hostel training school. We also give bursaries. At the moment, we're helping students through a BA honours course in hospitality management at Thames Valley University. We're paying their fees. It's a very simple process. Applicants omega replica watcheshave to make a submission and the trustees take up references and make all the necessary checks. We've got six trustees, under the chairmanship of Douglas Oram, who are all very knowledgeable about the hospitality industry.
Is there enough emphasis put on helping people get on the first rung of the ladder in the hospitality industry? The emphasis should be on helping youngsters to complete their training, which would enable them to climb the ladder quicker. That's what we aim to do.
What deters young people from hospitality, and do you think the PM Trust can help solve some of these issues? There are plenty of reasons why young people are deterred, but there shouldn't be, because the industry offers the most fantastic opportunities. The trust can help them to get good qualifications, which is the key to success.
How does the charity operate? How is it funded? Hospitality Action sold the freehold of the PM Club buildings in Eccleston Square in 2002 and all our income is derived from the endowment on the moneys invested. We've given away about £100,000 since then - about £20,000 a year.
It's quite a newly formed charity, what does the future hold for it? The real challenge is that the demands on its funds will eventually rise faster than the income that is being generated. Without raising more money we will have to cap expenditure, though we haven't got to that stage yet.
How can others get involved and help? By colleges getting to know what the PM Trust is all about and by helping to raise money. Also through donations, through bvlgari replica watchesbequests. It's such a huge industry - I'm sure there are many more people who would like to help youngsters coming into hospitality. They can help them through the trust. After all, these young people are our future.
