1928 the Technische Handelsonderneming Energie was founded in The Hague. 1958 J.W. Houtsma and his brother took over the company. After a long period in a former garage in the Weissenbruchstraat 298 and after a short stay at the Breitnerlaan 8, the Rijwielhandel Post at the corner of the Sadéestraat number 31 was acquired in 1970. This new location was easily accessible and centrally located in the Benoordenhout.
The Technische Handelsonderneming Energie, as the company was still officially called, also repaired and sold mopeds at that time. Later they concentrated fully to selling and repairing new and used bicycles. And of course a good and customer orientated service were key.
The company was taken over by son Marcel Houtsma expanded into a professional company with a huge range of branded bicycles and accessories. The Technische Handelsonderneming Energie also was renamed to ENERGIE FIETSEN. ENERGIE FIETSEN participates in Fietsproject bicycles and specializes in electric bicycles.
ENERGIE FIETSEN still offers the personal and customer-oriented service, that you know from us since 1928 and our professional and skilled mechanics are at your service with a good knowledge of all types of bikes and of course informed about the latest technologies.
Service is key. Most repairs can be done within a day and your bicycle will be ready for you the next day. If it should take longer, we'll provide you with a free rental bike, so you're always mobile. Also, all repairs will be discussed with you, so no nasty surprises.
The technical know-how and quick service make ENERGIE FIETSEN an important center for all cyclists in Benoordenhout and surroundings.
Step by for an noncommittal advise. You are welcome!

Blue Period Volume 6 Review
Sarah • 2nd May 2022
I didn't know studying wouldn't be enough. I had no idea… it'd take this much strength and energy.
It's the first day of the three-day second examination for the Oil Painting Course at Tokyo University of the Arts (TUA). The elevators are out of action in the examination building and Yatora has to get all his heavy painting gear up eight flights of stairs to the examination room. He's already at his limit, with a pounding headache (migraine?), eyestrain and the burning skin rash that might or might not be hives, and collapses on his way up the endless stairs. But he can't afford to miss the first day, even if he's in no fit state to do any serious painting. With Maki Kuwana's help, he manages to set himself up alongside the other examinees and discovers, as Ooba-sensei predicted, that the second examination is to 'Create a painting in any way that you like that combines the model and the examination room.' In other words, a nude picture (there's a live model) – the very topic that Yatora had been exploring with Ryuji before the examinations began.
With only his willpower keeping him going – just about – he's unable to report back in person to Ooba-sensei with the other two, going straight home to collapse into bed. But she contacts him that evening by phone. Upbeat as ever, she helps restore his morale and together they plot a way for him to get through the rest of the examination using strategy: an advantage! Out go the contacts, in come the glasses, a cooling patch on his forehead is concealed by his hair and a beret – and painkillers. It's the theme of his painting that's troubling him the most, though, but after Ooba-sensei boosts his self-confidence in her habitual brisk way, he feels ready to fight again the following day. He's had a terrible start but there are two days left in which to prove himself. Will it be enough…?
With this volume, mangaka Tsubasa Yamaguchi tells us in her afterword, the first story arc comes to an end. If you watched the last episodes of the anime TV series of Blue Period, you'll already know the outcome of the second exam. The anime deals with the stress of the exam very effectively – but reading the original manga, Yatora's experience seems even more raw and distressing. His half-closed eyes and his sweat-drenched face, his slumped posture, everything about the way Yamaguchi draws him conveys his desperation and the intensity of his suffering. As you read these chapters, you feel as if you're living through the experience with him, panel after agonized panel. There are some nice little domestic details at the Yaguchi home, with Yatora's mother fiercely determined to encourage her son now as much as she can and his father, seemingly blasé yet supportive. At the examination building, there are more awkward yet revealing exchanges with the prickly prodigy/genius Yotasuke who has no people skills. Yatora, who is fascinated by him as well as in awe of his natural talent, always seems to find himself sitting next to him in the lunchbreak or running into him at the station. But most revealing of all (in chapters that are themed around the subject of 'the nude' in art and nakedness) are, after much soul-searching, the conclusions that Yatora comes to about himself – which he explores and reveals in his final examination submission.
No wonder that we see Yatora lying on his bed back at home when it's all over and done, reflecting, "I feel adrift." After using up so much adrenaline and creative energy, the slump he experiences afterwards is something many of us will remember vividly when examinations come to an end. Even though he goes back to high school and meets up with his friends, looming over everything is the fact that the results for TUA will be posted at the same time as his graduation ceremony. And, frustratingly, he keeps missing Mori-senpai (the artist portrayed on this volume's striking cover).
No lovely colour inserts, this time, sadly – although the manga has several impressive double-page and single-page spreads showing us Yatora's thought processes and sketches for his second examination piece. There are also helpful pages sprinkled throughout showing how to prepare a canvas for oil painting and how to stretch paper for water colour painting, not to mention several familiar images with historical information about earlier nudes by painters as varied as Michelangelo, Botticelli and Bouchard.
The translation for Kodansha is again by Ajani Oloye and deals expertly as before with the variety of art-related technical terms, as well as the everyday conversations and Yatora's self-searching internal monologues. Lys Blakeslee does a splendid job in lettering the pages from Yatora's sketches and notes for the examination. Two pages of helpful translation notes are included and there are four little 4-koma as well as a cute Original Bonus Manga in which Saeki-sensei gathers her graduating students for refreshments in the art room (after cleaning up, of course!)
And so the Exam Arc comes to an end and it's been quite a journey for Yatora and for the reader too. Yamaguchi's unique graphic style has brought her characters to vibrant life and I, for one, can't wait to follow them into the University Arc that starts in Volume 7 (due at the end of May).

Q: MVC 3 Repository Pattern via SOAP appreciate any help with this.
We are currently working on remodelling a legacy project that is now heading towards being too much of a nightmare to maintain.  So, we've decided to properly normalise the data structure and use Entity Framework 4 Code First development in an MVC 3 project using a repository pattern.  The issue we face at the moment is that the legacy application is hosted on a server outside of our main infrastructure for security reasons - therefore all CRUD operations are done via web services, there is no direct connection string to the MS SQL database.
My "proposed" solution is to define my repository contracts, during development there will be a direct connection to the database but once deployed there won't be (there may be scope to getting that changed later).  So, would it be reasonable for me to provide two concrete versions of the repository working to the same contract.  One that uses LINQ to perform CRUD operations (development and possible the infrastructure we can move to later) and another version that uses SOAP to pass objects (that would mean my POCOs would need to be defined as Serializable) and perform the CRUD operations this way?
Does this sound feasible or is there a much better way of achieving this?
Thanks!

A: If you are responsible for developing both client and service part you can use some simple approach:

*

*Use some shared interface for repository and service client

*When working with remote repository in client inject service client - the service will use repository implementation directly

*When working with local repository in client inject repository directly

By using this approach you will have single repository implementation for both scenarios and your upper level logic will not change. There will be only additional web service layer for remote repository. Your repository will have to encapsulate all data access logic and queries = no linq queries outside of the repository which is not the issue in your architecture because linq queries are not serializable without your own custom development or without using WCF Data Services (but it would have other impacts on your architecture).
Btw. it is not very common to place repository behind the web service. More common is to place whole service layre / business logic behind the web service.

Christian Vazquez traded his catcher's mitt for an infielder's glove Monday, as Red Sox manager Alex Cora called on the young backstop to play second base in Boston's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park.
This marked the first time Vazquez has played second base in his big league career, but the 28-year-old was at ease before the Red Sox's annual Patriots' Day morning contest.
"Piece of cake," Vazquez joked, per MassLive.com.
Several factors played a role in Cora's decision to start Vazquez at second base: Brock Holt remains on the injured list with a scratched cornea, Eduardo Nunez seemingly is dealing with something (either illness or an injury?), and the Red Sox still are managing Dustin Pedroia's workload as the four-time All-Star works his way back from a knee injury.
Vazquez has some (limited) experience in the infield — he's appeared in four games at third base at the major league level and even played first base in the 2018 World Series — so Cora felt comfortable enough to plug him in at second base while giving Blake Swihart the start at catcher. Vazquez had started three games in a row behind the plate.
Well, technically, it is "new" for Vazquez as far as major league game action goes. But he was more than willing to embrace the challenge — a fitting gesture on Marathon Monday in Boston.

Cretinism, also known as congenital hypothyroidism, affects newborn infants through an anatomic thyroid defect, an error of thyroid metabolism, or iodine deficiency, according to Medscape. Symptoms present at birth include lethargy, enlarged anterior fontanel, poor feeding and rough facial features. In addition, cretinism is commonly accompanied by neck swelling, which manifests as goiters.
Iodine deficiency is a major cause of cretinism, according to The National Center for Biotechnology Information. The important role that iodine plays in the treatment of cretinism was discovered in the late 19th century. This discovery led to public health measures, which initiated the supplementation of iodine in table salt.
Other causes of congenital hypothyroidism affect one in every 3500 live births, as stated by The National Center for Biotechnology. Aggressive neonatal screening has taken precedence to avoid a delay in diagnosis and possible effects of developmental and physical delays. Screening programs include filter paper blood spots to assess thyroid stimulating hormone.
Thyroid scans and imaging are used to ascertain the cause of the hypothyroidism, states Medscape. Treatment includes thyroid replacement therapy, with the goal of stabilization of the thyroid by 3 weeks of age. Timely diagnosis and treatment of cretinism prevent grave developmental delay that was a common occurrence in the past century.

Amazing fabric , they fit my body wonderfully ! They did come with a small hole in the calf area of the leg which I just sticthed up ,and if I had paid full price I would have wanted to exchange them . But they are still my favorite pants.
I love the yoga pants! This brand lasts forever and the comfort is second to none! So glad I ordered and they fit like a glove! Thanks green .
Super comfortable. Great hand feel. I typically wear a medium but occasionally need a large. After looking at the size chart I thought this would be an occasion when I needed to go large based on the dimensions. Not the case, I should have gone wit a medium. Next time I'll order a medium.
These leggings were a perfect fit and a perfect length. I am 5'5", 155 lbs. I love them, they are so soft and comfortable -- could wear them everyday.


predict low levels of spousal criticism/hostility when pain behavior was perceived to be due to the pain condition.
The study involved 105 married couples recruited through referrals at pain clinics operated at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC, and Memorial Hospital in South Bend, IN. Spouses with chronic low back pain completed electronic diary measures 5 times a day for 14 days. They assessed spouse observations of patient pain behavior, attributions regarding these behaviors, and spouse criticisms/hostility toward patients.
Results showed that spouse criticism and hostility directed toward their partners with chronic pain are negatively related to pain, mood, and function. Spouses witnessing high levels of behavior affected by patient perceptions predicted high levels of patient perceptions of critical/hostile behavior but also predicted high levels of spouse reports of their own critical/hostile behavior.
Further, spouses reporting relatively greater dissatisfaction with their marriages tended to make more negative attributions regarding the causes of patient pain behavior than a spouse with less dissatisfaction. The authors noted that frequent spousal suspicions that the patient exhibits pain behaviors to avoid activities could have a detrimental effect on the quality of the spouse's relationship with the patient.
The authors concluded that their findings suggest replacing spouse internal and negative attributions with external, compassionate, and accepting explanations may be useful therapeutic targets for couples coping with chronic pain.


Hamilton started in second place but overtook his team-mate on the opening corner.
The Brit then cruised to a second win of the season which takes him top of the Drivers' Championship.
Upon reflection, Hamilton explained how his start to the race – which has come under criticism in recent weeks – improved ten-fold.
"The start is where I was able to make the difference and after that it's kind of history," he said.
"It's not been the most straightforward of weekends but what a fantastic result for the team. Everyone has worked so hard.
"We came here and didn't know whereabouts we'd stand with the Ferraris as they were so quick in the last race.
Mercedes kept up their 100 per cent one-two record this campaign.
And team principal Toto Wolff was delighted his team remain way ahead of their rivals.
"It's amazing the 1000th race, being on pole and then controlling the race this way is super," he said.
"The double stack was a particularly proud moment because you have everything to lose.
"We were thinking losing the position if we were to pit one of the two earlier.
"The stacking functioned brilliant, it was good choreography.
"Valtteri for sure will not be happy.


Tis the season to Deck the Halls as evidenced by Christmas displays in every store. Don't we all start working on our holiday décor in October and early November? We haven't cooked the turkey yet, eaten the pumpkin pie or trudged out on Black Friday to get those awesome deals on the hottest toys or gadgets for our loved ones but we are supposed to be planning for the big day. I don't mean December 25th but the day that we drag all the boxes of holiday stuff out of the attic and tackle the biggest redecorating of our home for the year.

Slow Death by Leng-Tch'e (cutting into pieces):
There is true ecstasy in this expression.
Georges Bataille was born on 10 September 1897 in Billon, Puy-de-Dome, in central France. His father suffered from general paralysis, brought on by syphilis. He was, according to Bataille [1], already blind when Georges was conceived. His mother was also of dubious sanity.
Family moves to Rheims in 1900. Bataille converts to Catholicism around the time of his baccaulaureate, just before the outbreak of the War in 1914.
He and his mother evacuate the city, which was under the German advance, abandoning his father, who was too far gone to be easily transported.
His father dies raving, ranting and refusing to see a priest, on 6 November 1915. These events have a powerful effect on Bataille.
But the weirdest thing was certainly the way he looked while pissing. Since he could not see anything, his pupils very frequently pointed up into space, shifting under the lids, and this happened particularly when he pissed. Furthermore, he had huge, ever gaping eyes that flanked an eagle nose, and those huge eyes went almost entirely blank when he pissed, with a completely stupefying expression of abandon and aberration in a world that he alone could see and that aroused his vaguely sardonic and absent laugh.... In any case, the image of those white eyes from that time was directly linked, for me, to the image of eggs.... [1]
Bataille claims that from 1914 "until 1920, rarely did I let a week go by without confessing my sins." [1] In 1917, he joins the seminary of Saint-Fleur with intentions of becoming a monk.
Experiences a loss of faith in 1920 because "his Catholicism caused a woman he loved to shed tears." [2]
Attends the Ecole des Chartres, submits a thesis on "The Order Chivalry, told in verse from the thirteenth century" in 1922.
Obtains a fellowship to attend the School of Advanced Hispanic Studies in Madrid, travels extensively through Spain, witnesses the gruesome death of a bullfighter, Manuelo Granero.
Secures a position at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris towards the end of 1922.
From 1923 to 1928 he becomes marginally involved in the Parisian Surrealist circles; undergoes a successful psychoanalysis which allows him to write; marries the actress Sylvia Makles and has a child. (Sylvia later goes on to marry Jacques Lacan .)
Assists with the publication of the journal Documents in 1930, gathers around him many of those who had formerly been involved with the Paris Dada, Grand Jeu and Surrealist Groups. Incurs the wrath of Andre Breton, who believes that Bataille is forming a counter-Surrealist movement.
Alastair Brotchie claims that Bataille is one of the main instigators in the anti-Breton group, responsible for the attack in the journal A Corpse which showed a deathlike Breton crowned with thorns. [3]
Marriage breaks up, he enters into an intense relationship with Colette Peignot, whose later death in 1938 devastates Bataille.
Bataille circa 1933
In 1935, he and Breton bury their differences to fight against the rising tide of Fascism. Along with Roger Callois, they establish an anti-Fascist group called, Contre-Attaque, "which had for its aim the re-establishment of revolutionary principles betrayed by the Communist and Socialist Parties." [2]
Forms the esoteric group Acephale and its theoretical counterpoint, The College of Sociology in 1936. Among the members of the College, which holds periodic lectures, are Caillois, Michel Leris and Pierre Klossowski. Speakers are the premier intellectuals in France at the time: Jean-Paul Sartre, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno and Claude Levi-Strauss to name only a few. [4]
Founds the influential journal Critique in 1946. Publishes the early work of Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault.
Recuperates from recurrent tuberculosis, marries a second time, has another child and suffers through a series of financial difficulties. In 1949, he obtains employment as a librarian in Charpentras in Provence. He holds a similar position in Orleans in 1951.
In 1961, through an auction of paintings held by such friends as Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Henri Michaux and Joan Miró he is able to purchase an apartment in Paris and have a measure of financial security.
Georges Bataille died on 8 July 1962 in Paris.
Much of the above comes from the excellent source: Georges Bataille by Michael Richardson. [2]
A Sweet Passage From The Story of the Eye
The events that followed were without transition or connection, not because they weren't actually related, but because my attention was so absent as to remain absolutely dissociated. In just a few seconds: first, Simone bit into one of the raw balls, to my dismay; then Granero advanced towards the bull, waving his scarlet cloth; finally, almost at once, Simone, with blood-red face and a suffocating lewdness, uncovered her long white thighs up to her moist vulva, into which she slowly and surely fitted the second pale globule- Granero was thrown back by the bull and wedged against the balustrade; the horns struck the balustrade three times at full speed; at the third blow, one horn plunged into the right eye and through the head. A shriek of unmeasured horror coincided with a brief orgasm for Simone, who was lifted up from the stone seat only to be flung back with a bleeding nose, under a blinding sun; men instantly rushed over to haul away Granero's body, the right eye dangling from the head.
Subcultural Relevance
Obviously, Bataille has extreme relevance as a nexus point for the intellectual and artistic life of mid-20th century France. Much of his "achievement" can only be understood inside this historical context. In this way, the simplest method of locating Bataille is to place him dead square in the middle of a continuum between Fascism and Surrealism. And, humorously enough, perhaps this crude position is the only way to make sense of his writing, especially his "transgressive fictions." But while this might be helpful to closet Sadean Catholics and the all too common crypto-fascist French neurotics, it doesn't begin to explain Bataille's increasing valence within the last few decades of this country.
It is Bataille's philosophy of excess and exuberance, his open acknowledgement of shame in the face of the extreme pornographic displays of sex and death, his sense of esoteric humor and history that make him so appropriate to this world we live in. Look around at all the weak-kneed "erotic philosophers" and judge who backs down from the abyssmal truth of the matter. The same goes for the vulturous "death therapists." Here is Bataille's relevance inside the subculture: with one foot in the flesh of the orgy and one in the bones of the grave, he speaks of the dark truths central to all human experience. And, most importantly, he embraces it, says YES to it, even though it would annihilate him. And beyond of all of his failings, this still stands. The corpse of Bataille never smelled sweeter.

Construction sites are dangerous places. Ladders, cranes and scaffolding collapse, welding tools malfunction, compressed gas explodes, debris falls, and passers-by slip, trip and fall at unguarded sites. Serious injuries often result from such accidents, including burns and scarring, broken bones, brain injury, and even death. If you have been hurt on a construction site, you may have a right to compensation for your injuries if the accident was caused by the carelessness or negligence of another. If you were an employee at the construction site when your injury occurred, you also have the right to make a workers' compensation claim to have your medical bills paid, recover for lost income, and receive compensation for your injuries.
At the Flemington, New Jersey, Murgatroyd Law Group, we have successfully obtained compensation for many people injured on construction sites. Contact our law firm and let us put our experience to work for you.
The first is through the workers' compensation system. If you work on a construction site, workers' compensation law provides coverage for medical expenses and disability coverage for any worker injured on the job regardless of fault.
The second is through a personal injury lawsuit. If you were injured because a road crew failed to guard a highway construction site, or you are a construction worker whose injuries were caused by a defective ladder, collapsed scaffolding, falling debris, crane accident or suffered injuries due to some other tragedy that occurred at a construction site, our law office will file a lawsuit to recover compensation from the responsible parties.
Anthony Murgatroyd's previous career was defending the responsible parties and their insurance companies against personal injury victims, including construction accident victims. This puts our law office in an excellent position to understand the defenses and prepare your construction accident claim for success. We have also helped hundreds of employees recover workers' compensation disability awards for their work-related injuries. Because of our background, we know how the insurance carriers evaluate their claims and use that knowledge to obtain the best possible compensation for injured construction workers. Contact a knowledgeable construction accident lawyer at Murgatroyd Law Group, to schedule a free initial consultation.


Monday Musings by Melinda by Melinda M.
I could not believe it. How did I not see it coming? There it was: a big empty hole on Saturday, April 8. Not a bill due, not a reminder, nothing. A big ole free day just hanging out there like a swollen mango asking to be picked! After I confirmed that no one in my house had anything that day, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: go to Hapuna Beach. Fortunately, my family was all in. Hapuna is definitely my "go-to" place if/when there's a day that's free or special (e.g., my birthday, Mother's Day). Just the thought of that warm, soft, white sand under my feet, of snuggling into my favorite beach chair, of playing in the waves with my girls and watching them play with each other…that is definitely the happy place I go to when people tell you to go to your happy place in your mind. It was such a rare occurrence to not have anything planned and not needing to plan to go to Hapuna. It had been way too long since we just headed there just to go. Now that the girls are older and the road is newer, it's so much less of a hassle. No more packing a cooler full of food options the night before. No more packing every sand toy, blanket and chair we have. No more waking up super early to make the long round-trip drive worth it. Now everyone just grabs what they need – a football, some towels, a chair or two and the umbrella – and we walk out the door for a drive that is now only a little more than an hour!
And once we're there, the memories come flooding back: trips there with my mom when she was alive and the hotel had not yet opened and I was newly arrived in Hawaii; walking the beach with my husband when he was my boyfriend and then the day after he proposed and then when he dug a hole for my big pregnant belly so I could lie on my stomach! And then, of course, with the girls and all of the equipment we used to lug. Hapuna's been the one constant through it all and in a way, it feels like family to me. I'm so glad she's so close by!
ps – in case you remember, I said I would write about Hoola Farms this week. I couldn't get out there yet but once I do, you will read about it!!


Hi, I currently have an issue with my display/graphics driver (specs below) and just couldnt get AMD drivers to install. I recently for some reason lost the catalyst control center that was originally there when the computer was bought (a long time ago) and i tried to reinstall the driver. I used DDU for uninstalling the driver and then downloading it from amd website , but the installer finished installing and it shows no sign of the display driver,it just has the hdmi audio thingy. Windows updates has an error and cannot be used for some reason so i couldnt even try to update windows even if i needed to.
I hope this can be fixed asap as i need to use it for gaming and all sort of stuf soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Q: Doesn't every nonempty tree on ${^k\omega} \times Y$ contain $\langle \emptyset, \emptyset, \dots, \emptyset \rangle$? This is a very small issue that I have when reading the chapter on "Sharps and $\Sigma^1_3$ Sets" from Kanamori's "The Higher Infinite".

To give some context from the book:

Suppose that $B \subseteq {^k(^\omega\omega)}$ is $\Sigma^1_2$. Taking $k = 1$ for simplicity, let $T$ be a tree on ${^2\omega} \times \omega$ such that for any $x \in {^\omega\omega}$,
  $$B(x) \leftrightarrow \exists^1y(T_{\langle x,y \rangle} \text{ is well-founded}).$$
$T$ can be defined from a relation recursive in a real $(13.1)$, and by slightly altering that relation if necessary it can be assumed that    $\langle \emptyset, \emptyset, \emptyset \rangle \in T$.

This fact is stated again in different forms throughout the chapter.

Now I think by definition since any tree is downward-closed, if $T \not = \emptyset$ then we must have that $\langle \emptyset, \emptyset, \emptyset \rangle \in T$, no? And I don't get what changing the formula defining the tree has anything to do with this. I think I am missing some obvious and trivial point[because he mentions this in this chapter many times.] but I can't find it.

Cost Of Living Crisis Driving Change In UK Working Habits
London, October 17th 2022: The cost of living crisis is having a fundamental impact on the way that people choose to work, according to Beamery's latest Talent Index: Sixth Edition. Almost a third (29%) of workers are now avoiding the office because of the increasing cost of travel, whilst another third cited (31%) they were considering leaving their jobs completely due to lack of salary increases.
With economic conditions in the UK tightening, it's perhaps no surprise to learn that 37% of workers said that low salary was the most frustrating thing for them in their current workplace; but interestingly this was mentioned by 42% of the female respondents, versus 29% of the men asked. Poor management was called out by respondents as another reason to move on, whilst a lack of career progression was listed third.
When asked why employers were struggling to retain workers, responses went beyond salary to also include a negative company culture (26%) and lack of opportunities for development (25%). According to employees, opportunities for development are being missed because individuals can't dedicate the time to training (24%) alongside their job or they haven't been given guidance (16%) on what skills they will need in the future to enhance their role.
The dramatic increase in the cost of energy may change worker behaviour yet again over the winter as people attempt to save on heating costs, with one in five (20%) of respondents indicating that they are now considering coming into the office more regularly.
The Talent Index data also suggests that the cost of living crisis is affecting generations differently, with 18-34s being the largest group attempting to save travel costs by working from home. They are also one of the most likely to consider leaving their job for a salary increase, with 34% considering leaving in the next 12 months for higher pay.
With continual flux in talent, employers are also working hard to attract and retain younger workers - taking increasingly into account the importance of corporate values to Gen Z workers. 20% of 18-24s agree that DE&I is very important in the talent acquisition process, but just 11% would leave because of poor company values. According to the research, regardless of age, all employees cite the same top five elements as most important when asked about what kind of organizations they want to work for – salary, job security, employee rewards, opportunities for career development, and flexible working.
Gen Z are however the most likely to believe that the gender pay gap still exists, with 86% saying it has either become bigger or stayed the same, compared to 64% of 55-64 year olds. 22% of 18-24 year olds added that more men have been promoted in the last 12 months than women in their organization.
Overall, it seems that UK employers still have a way to go in implementing effective DE&I strategies. When asked about seeing evidence of DE&I initiatives within the business they work for, there was little to show that progress was being made.
18% of UK employees believe there are equal numbers of men and women promoted to managerial positions within their organization.
17% felt their business has known procedures and facilities in place for people with mental or physical health challenges.
15% feel that there is more gender diversity in leadership roles, compared to 12 months ago
13% believed businesses provided benchmarks to identify insufficient diversity, equity and inclusion – and measured progress.
13% felt that DE&I is seen as being very important in the talent acquisition process
Abakar Saidov, Co-Founder and CEO at Beamery, said: "Challenging economic circumstances are having an immediate impact on employees' expectations of their employer. Alongside external factors, we are hearing that employees want to work in a business where personal development and training – alongside a robust DE&I strategy – is taken seriously. To retain talent, businesses must think holistically about what they can offer their employees, not only when it comes to remuneration, but in creating a company culture that invests in its people and shows leadership when it comes to driving diversity and inclusion. That's what the modern day employee is looking for, and businesses have got to respond, or risk significant skill gaps and business continuity as people simply move elsewhere."
The Talent Index (Sixth Edition) collected responses from 6,000+ workers in the UK, USA and France, of which 2,509 were from the UK. The online survey was conducted by Atomik Research and all respondents were office workers, who had at some point left their offices during the pandemic. The research fieldwork took place on 7th September – 14th September 2022. Atomik Research is an independent creative market research agency that employs MRS-certified researchers and abides to MRS code.

Emily Stanford is a sophomore at Oberlin College studying biology. She is interested in becoming an ecologist and conducting research. During her winter break, Emily visited the Bay Area and volunteered her time to help with the horizontal levee project at Oro Loma.
Emily working with Save The Bay staff and volunteers at the Oro Loma Horizontal Levee project.
I first heard about Save The Bay through an alumnus from my school who recommended it as a great place to get experience doing basic field work. As an aspiring ecologist, I decided to travel to the Bay Area during my winter break to volunteer with them to see what I could learn and to make a positive impact on the area.
While there, we worked on restoring a wetland that would provide filtration at the Oro Loma water treatment plant in San Lorenzo. The ultimate goal was to plant 70,000 plants. Every day we alternated work by cutting roots and rhizomes from the plant beds, counting them, and replanting them in the mud. It was very dirty work, but it turned out to be very rewarding. I really enjoyed spending the days outside and it was awesome realizing how much work we had accomplished at the end of each day.
However, the best part about working with Save The Bay was being able to spend time with the awesome faculty and volunteers who came out every day. They were funny, enthusiastic, passionate about their work, and great to talk to. I had many awesome conversations with them and we often had fun by playing games while we worked. All in all, it was a great experience and I hope to come back if I am in the area again. I would highly recommend that anyone come out if they have a free day.


On behalf of our millions of supporters, we write to provide our perspective on your avowed intention to eliminate the important federal safeguards included in the 2015 Clean Water Rule — a process initiated when President Trump signed Executive Order 13,778 on February 28. We seek your commitment to carry out any such rulemaking in a way that is at least as deliberate, inclusive, and protective of vital waterways as the Clean Water Rule process was and that is based in sound science.
In contrast to the extensive and inclusive process that led to the Clean Water Rule, the administration reportedly plans a hasty rulemaking without meaningful public participation. We are dismayed by reports that the agency intends to provide very little time for stakeholder engagement before proposing to undermine the Clean Water Rule's protections and for official public comment on the proposal. And we especially fear the damage that a final rule would inflict on the nation's waterways if, as Executive Order 13,778 forecasts, it relies on a legal test that a majority of the justices on the Supreme Court rejected and that would weaken the federal rules so that they protect fewer resources than they have in several decades.

Data drives our lives. Our apps, our spending, our home, it's all driven from a datastore somewhere. On the scale that we constantly ask questions of our devices we might wonder, just how are these systems keeping up with the sheer scale of all the constant data requests being delivered to our brains? NoSQL databases are built to horizontally scale natively as can some relational databases. Monolithic databases are of course a thing that happens. Both of these options can work but the cost of this type of scale surrounding databases can be staggering and keeping it all alive can make a seasoned DevOps shudder. The answer to this question of scale is memory and caching.

Many elements combine to make for a deeply affecting children's book. As in most any writing, story and characters are major factors in the success or failure of a children's book. Likewise, an aesthetic is essential, one that is both captivating to children and palatable to the adults who often purchase and read the books aloud. While there's no denying the importance of these elements, it seems likely that for many the most crucial element of a good children's book is its artwork. Artwork, after all, is what imbues the plot, the characters, and the aesthetics with a sense of life, enriching them simultaneously with equal parts reality and imagination. This, in a nutshell, is how we can account for the success of Peter Spier.
Peter Spier, whose 1977 work, Noah's Ark, would ultimately win him the Caldecott Medal, seemed primed since childhood to become a beloved illustrator. He was born in Amsterdam, North Holland to Jo Spier, who was himself a well regarded artist and illustrator, and Tineke Van Raalte. He has remarked that, while growing up in the "small romantic village" of Broek, "[he] cannot remember a time when [he] did not dabble with clay, draw, or see someone draw… [he] grew up with it all." Though this quote may make his childhood sound idyllic, during World War II, it was anything but.
Spier and his father, both Jewish, became two of the nine prisoners held in Villa Bouchina, an abandoned church, before being sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Luckily, both Spier and his father survived until 1945, when most of the Dutch prisoners were sent to Switzerland in exchange for a hefty ransom. Following the war, Spier studied art at Rijksakademie (an artist's residence fashioned out of a disused army barracks). He also served a four year stint in the Royal Netherlands Navy. Shortly thereafter, the entire Spier family left the Netherlands for America.
Though Spier, on arriving in the United States, first took work as a commercial artist, success as a children's illustrator was not terribly long in coming. By 1957, he had illustrated his first book, Phyllis Krasilovsky's The Cow Who Fell in The Canal. By 1961, he was producing books for which he was both writer and illustrator, beginning with Island City: Adventures in Old New York.
In addition to winning the 1977 Caldecott Medal for Noah's Ark, Spier won a Christopher Award in 1980 for People, which also earned him a spot on the shortlist for the National Book Award for Children's Nonfiction. After even a brief look at some of his work, it's not hard to see why. His pages are exciting and full of detail. They come alive with an authenticity that comes from Spier's refusal to work from photographs. Far from superficial, however, his detailed drawings contain a wealth of information.

Not only does light provide warmth and comfort, but it allows crops to grow and thus, life to flourish. Early humanity abstractly understood that plants derive energy from light that is converted into chemical energy in the form of nutrients by a process known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis literally means "making from light." Neolithic farmers learned to record the amount of daylight during specific times of the year and scheduled their harvests by the seasons. Thus harnessing photosynthesis sustained families and communities and became the cornerstone of civilization. Ancient peoples' study of the seasons gave structure to their lives and allowed them to create order out of chaos. Later, in the age of Enlightenment, this notion of the seasons leading man from ignorance was expanded upon as light became a symbol of humanity's path to discovery and understanding.
Human physiology and psychology are deeply tied to light. Light has played a critical role in the evolution of our sense of sight, for example. The human eye detects light, traps it, and converts it into neurological signals which are interpreted by the brain. Artists harness light by depicting the world as they see it using pigments and dyes. Light is so critical to life that many species have developed methods to generate their own light by a process called bioluminescence, which aids in their ability to find nutrients and communicate with one another. Scientists have learned a great deal more about the science of light since the days of the early farmers and have engineered many ways to capture and manipulate it. Lenses and mechanical vision have allowed us to overcome biological shortcomings, enabling us to construct cameras to permanently capture images of our world and microscopes and telescopes to see beyond our natural capability.
This September we will be delving into the many facets of light and how humanity interacts with it. A picture is said to be worth a thousand words, so please join us as we explore how the photons of light that make up that picture tell us what they have to say.


Who takes the blame for medical errors?
Surgical errors can be minimized by the use of a universal protocol.
The estimated total costs of medical errors approach $29 billion per year.
Clinicians should verify the appropriateness of their patients' current medications at each encounter.
Underreporting has been cited as a consequence of our fault-based system of compensating medical injuries.
The malpractice system represents just one mechanism for overseeing medical quality.
According to a 2000 report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM), as many as 98,000 hospitalized patients die each year as a result of medical errors.1 Additionally, medical errors cause physical and psychological suffering. In economic terms, the estimated total costs of medical errors approach $29 billion per year. Further, medical errors erode public confidence in the health-care system and decrease worker productivity and school attendance.
An error may be defined as "the failure of a planned action to be completed as intended, or the use of a wrong plan to achieve an aim."1 In contrast, an adverse event is defined as "an injury resulting from a medical intervention."1 Some errors result in injury, but not all errors cause adverse events. Those that do not are referred to as near misses. Conversely, some (but not all) injuries sustained during medical interventions (adverse events) result from medical errors. Because the practice of medicine is a hazardous activity, sometimes patients are injured despite the delivery of appropriate medical care.
Why is the error rate so high?
The author suggests that medicine could learn a great deal from the aviation industry, which has posted an exemplary safety record since the 1970s. Specifically, medicine should accept that errors are inevitable and design systems (employing automation and redundancy) to absorb those errors, employ checklists and standardization of procedures, and endeavor to institutionalize safety.
There are a number of different types of medical errors, but this article will focus on medication and surgical errors.
Case 1: Michelle was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at age 2 months. The infant required digitalization, and Dr. S, the cardiologist, ordered "Elixir pediatric lanoxin 2.5 cc (0.125 mg) q6h 3 then once daily." Because the third of the three digitalization doses was not administered in a timely fashion by the nursing staff, Michelle's mother requested and was granted permission by Dr. S to administer the daily maintenance dose of 2.5 cc in the future. The infant was discharged home to await the scheduling of cardiac surgery but required readmission before the operation could be performed.
This case involved errors at multiple stages of the medication process, including the ordering stage (failure to specify route and failure to mention that the dose had already been administered) and the administration stage (failure to clarify an ambiguous order before administration). Not surprisingly, a malpractice suit ensued, and the physician and nurse were found to have acted negligently.
In a 2004 report, the IOM found that "because the number of outpatient encounters far exceeds the number of inpatient admissions, the consequences of medical errors in the [outpatient] setting may dwarf those in hospitals."5 The report went on to suggest that errors of omission (e.g., failing to prescribe an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor for a diabetic with proteinuria) might pose a greater threat to health than errors of commission.
Mr. K's case offers a particular type of surgical error (wrong-site/wrong-patient surgery). Other surgical errors include cases of retained sponges and instruments and mistakes related to volume-outcome relationships. For an illustration of the latter, consider the next case.
Case 3: Ms. J underwent a CT scan to determine the cause of her headaches and was referred to a local neurosurgeon, Dr. M. The neurosurgeon diagnosed an enlarging aneurysm at the rear of Ms. J's brain and recommended surgery. Unfortunately, Ms. J, who had no prior neurologic impairments, was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic postoperatively.

We went last 8th July, 2015. It was a chilly night. We arrived at the first pub named The NorthStar at around 9PM only to be greeted by a packed street parking. The area was very close to Italian restaurants and bars and The NorthStar doesn't have its own private parking space, hence the reason for this, so be sure to arrive early to avoid the hassle.
First Stop: The North Star Bar & Cafe at 1560 Powell St, San Francisco, CA.
Parking issue solved (after about 30 minutes), we headed straight to The NorthStar's entrance where we were greeted by an old hippie man letting us know of that night's pub crawl and rock-paper-scissors tournament. We were then led to a mini front desk where we were met by the pub crawl organizer who took our email addresses and the $5 entrance fee, which includes a tournament score card and a coupon sheet which'll save you a lot, as you can get a beer and/or a shot for $2.50 and $1, respectively, compared to the regular prices (you can only get a coupon if you join the pub crawl event from the starting point). If you run out of coupons, you can easily buy another sheet from the organizer.
The coupon card includes 3 beer coupons and 2 shot coupons. You can buy another for $5 in case you run out of coupons.
At first, we were kinda out of place as groups of people were having their own chit chats so my buddy and I decided to enjoy our first beer for the night – Miller Lite! Looking around, all the words in the invite made sense, people were speaking in different languages and accents, some were locals, some were budget travelers/backpackers staying at nearby hostels. Cool!
We moved deep into the pub where the billiard table is and tried to figure out how the rock-paper-scissors tournament scorecard works in low light, when two people from Australia approached us and asked to look at our score card.
This is the tournament scorecard (rules above). If you are planning on going sometime in the future, try to familiarize yourself with the card as it becomes a challenge to read & understand all of it with all the distractions and low light.
At the end of the night, the person with the most number of tabs compete in a $50 bar tab in a single-elimination tournament. Sounds like a lot but it is actually fun and the game and your drink are the ice breakers and allow you to shake all of your inhibitions away and engage yourself on meaningful and cultural discussions with strangers from different countries and all walks of life.
As for me, it was really a surreal experience to be able to talk to strangers from different countries while getting tipsy (and the discussion gets crazier with every drink). The initial uneasiness of going alone to an event started to fade away as my buddy spoke with other foreigners on the next table. To sum all the nationalities of people I've had a chat with, they were: Americans from different states, Polish, German, French, Australian, Bangladeshi, Indian, South Korean, Russian, Irish, English.
Discounted price list exclusive to pub crawl guests at The North Star Cafe.
Inside the packed North Star Cafe. I can still hear all the noise and the chit chats just by looking at this.
Vintage cash register. Yes, they still use it. So old school!
Pub crawl attendees gather to move on to pub # 2.
Pub crawl goes form a line and move across the neighborhood to the next bar.
Pub # 2: The Square Bar & Kitchen at 1707 Powell St, San Francisco, CA.

Plan Ghana unhappy over delays of domestic violence cases in courts - Graphic Online
Plan Ghana unhappy over delays of domestic violence cases in courts
Date: Nov 30 , 2018 , 07:54
BY: Zadok K. Gyesi
Plan Ghana, an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) says the slow pace in the adjudication of cases of abuse against women and girls in the country's courts encourages abusers to perpertuate cruel crimes against women and girls.
According to the Child Protection and Advocacy Specialist of Plan Ghana, Mr Abubakari Adamu, there are over 1,300 domestic violence cases pending before courts in the country.
He said the delays in giving justice to victims of domestic violence does not encourage people to report cases of abuse.
"It is very frustrating because we are urging people to report cases of abuse but when they report, they don't see justice," he said.
16 days activism
Mr Adamu said this at a media briefing in Accra last Wednesday to mark this year's United Nation's 16 days of activism against gender violence as part of efforts to push for action against those who perpetuate abuse against women.
The 16 days of activism is an international campaign which takes place each year and runs from November 25 to December 10.
Widely known as the '16 Days Campaign', it is used as an organising strategy by individuals and organisations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.
Mr Adamu said although he would not blame the police or the courts entirely for the delays, the courts the police could expedite things, saying some of the victims report cases late, hence making prosecution to delay due to lack of evidence.
The Country Director of Plan Ghana, Mr Solomon Tesfermariam, said because many perpetrators of domestic violence are not punished, women and girls continued to be abused in the country.
He expressed worry that many women and girls who are abused in the country do not get justice.
"Many women and girls who suffered sexual abuse and other forms of abuse are not getting justice as the legal system does not adversely protect them," Mr Tesfermariam said.
He added "Many of the perpetrators of these forms of cruel crime against women and girls are walking freely among us."
He said despite the United Nation's adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of of all forms of discrimination against women by the UN General Assembly in 1979, violence against women and girls remains a pervasive problem worldwide.
"As of today, one in three women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, most frequently by intimate partners," Mr Tesfermariam.
He said issues of rape, defilenement, physical assault, and child marriage among others, all constitute violence against women and girls.
He said 71 per cent of all human trafficking victims worldwide are women and girls, pointing out that three out of four of these women and girls are sexually exploited.
Mr Tesfermariam said the Girls Advocacy Alliance of Plan International Ghana and Ghana NGO coalition expect the government to ensure that those who inflict violence against women and girls prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others.
He also urged the media to sensitive the public and create awareness, educate and mobilise support to influence change in behaviour and practice which affect the development and rights of women and girls in the country.
Plan International has been working in Ghana to support children, particularly the most marginalised, to exercise their rights for over 25 years.
The NGO works in more than 637 communities, majority of which are rural communities.

Hans Mohler (* 25. Oktober 1919 in Thusis; † 24. Juni 2021 in Masein) war ein Schweizer Lehrer und Schriftsteller.

Leben und Werk
Hans Mohler war der Sohn des aus Oberwil stammenden Schlossers und späteren Kunstmalers Adolf Mohler (1893–1962). Die Mutter stammte aus Thusis und war eine geborene Pappa.

Mohler besuchte die Volkschule in Thusis und liess sich von 1935 bis 1939 am kantonalen Lehrerseminar in Chur zum Primarlehrer ausbilden. In der Folge unterrichtete er zwei Winter lang in Rothenbrunnen sowie zwei weitere in Thusis. Von 1939 bis 1968 diente er als Trompeter bei der Gebirgs-Infanterie.

Von 1942 bis 1946 folgte eine Ausbildung zum Sekundarlehrer an den Universitäten Zürich, Bern und Lausanne. In Zürich erwarb er das Lehrerpatent. Anschliessend unterrichtete Mohler bis 1954 in Thusis an höheren Schulen. 1954 zog er nach Basel und unterrichtete bis zu seiner Pensionierung 1984 als Mittelschullehrer. Danach lebte er bis zu seinem Tod in Masein.

Mohler war freier Mitarbeiter des Schweizer Radios und Sekretär und späterer Präsident des PEN-Clubs der Schweiz. Zudem war er Ehrenbürger von Thusis und erhielt für seinen Roman Der Kampf um den Drachen 1963 den Literaturpreis des Kanton Basel-Landschaft.

Schriftstellerische Tätigkeit
Mohler trat 1943 mit seinem Gedichtband Kleine Sternreise erstmals an die Öffentlichkeit. 1944 erschien Am Rand des Tages sowie die Novelle Hirtensommer, die Eduard Korrodi rühmte. Weitere Veröffentlichungen waren Ritt durch den Herbst (1945) und die Trakl-Novelle Offenbarung und Untergang (1950). 1960 erschien sein erster Roman Der Kampf um den Drachen, die Lebensgeschichte des Schulmeisters und Malers Hans Ardüser; später Ein Hauch von Honig und 1969 der Bündner Gegenwartsroman Regimentenspiel. Der Roman wurde 1972 als fünfteiliges Hörspiel vom Schweizer Radio DRS gesendet.

Stimpson makes redistricting plan public
Posted by Dale Liesch | Jan 11, 2022 | Latest, News | 0 |
The city of Mobile could consist of five non-White majority voting districts and a total of four Black-majority districts out of seven for the first time in history, if Mayor Sandy Stimpson's first proposed redistricting plan is approved by the City Council.
The proposal, which must be presented to council in the form of an ordinance no later than Feb. 12 and is expected to change after council input, would give minority voters the opportunity to control a majority of the seven seats on the body by making District 7 majority Black. The 2020 Census figures currently have the district as 49 percent Black and 44 percent White. District 7 had a slight White majority after redistricting in 2012, and Stimpson's proposal would leave it 55 percent Black 10 years later. Once it's presented, the council will have six months to make changes and approve the plan, or Stimpson's proposal will take effect automatically. The council will need five votes to approve it.
The plan, which Stimpson called a "first draft," would also create a situation in which there are more Black residents than White residents in District 5 by a margin of 46 percent to 43 percent. Those grouped ethically as "Other" would make up the other 11 percent of the population in D5.
"We'll have four majority-minority districts for the first time in history," Stimpson said to a gaggle of reporters following Tuesday's Mobile City Council meeting. "We've started a conversation with council members and we want to get their feedback. Then we'll start the process of engaging the public and various groups who've reached out to us."
Redistricting Map Draft 2.3
In addition to a future public meeting discussing the different parts of the plan, Stimpson said the administration would be meeting with individual groups on a one-on-one basis before the proposal is presented to the council.
"Until then it's a work in progress," Stimpson said. "The feedback has been good so far."
Under Stimpson's plan, District 7 would be 55 percent Black and 37 percent White, with a total population of 27,422. In 2013, District 7 had a White population of 51 percent and a Black population of 45 percent.
The demographic differences tighten a bit when it comes to the voting-age population. If one takes voting age into consideration, Stimpson's plan shows District 7 at 51 percent Black and 42 percent White.
District 5 will also see an increase in Black population, according to Stimpson's proposal, but when voting age is taken into account, the district shifts back to 47 percent White and 42 percent Black.
Council President C.J. Small said he's looking forward to working with the administration on the plan before it is introduced officially.
"I'm looking forward to looking at the numbers and working with my colleagues and the administration," he said. "We want to make sure everything is good, according to the law and help move the city forward."
While the city gained Black population overall, increasing the demographic majority to 51 percent, the census numbers also showed a somewhat dramatic shift to the west. The shift is evident when looking at Stimpson's proposed district map and impacted all districts, but especially those east of Interstate 65. When asked about that shift, District 2 Councilman William Carroll mentioned the loss of various housing projects as a key to the loss in Black population in his district. In the last 10 years, Mobile Housing Board-owned complexes such as Roger Williams and Josephine Allen Homes have been torn down. Carroll was confident the district could "grow again," especially given efforts to revitalize the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. corridor and other improvements.
In 2013, District 2 was 70 percent Black and 29 percent White, but since then, the district has lost more than 3,000 Black residents, while the White population has fallen by less than 400.
As for Stimpson's redistricting plan, Carroll said he was "excited" to see it.
"I'm excited to see that Mobile has an opportunity to do some things with the population," he said. "It's good to know we're able to follow the rules and have four minority-majority districts."
Using 2020 Census data, it appears District 2, under its current boundaries, would be the second-smallest district in population at 23,220, trailing only District 3. Stimpson's plan would increase that population to 26,977 and make it the third-largest district in the proposal. The Federal Voting Rights Act requires the districts to be rebalanced following a census, and each district must be no more than 6 percent above or below the mean average determined by dividing the city population by seven. The target population for each district is 26,720.
Like in most of the other districts in Stimpson's map, District 2 would see a shift to the west, where it would pick up portions of District 1's population along Dauphin Street. The district would remain a solid Black majority, with 59 percent to 32 percent White.
Under the plan, Districts 1 and 3 would retain solid Black majorities as well. District 1 would be 67 percent Black and District 3 would be 73 percent Black.
Those demographic numbers change a bit when voting age is taken into consideration. In District 1, the voting-age population is 66 percent Black and 30 percent White. The voting-age population in District 2 is 57 percent Black and 39 percent White. In District 3, the Black voting-age population would be set at 69 percent, while the White voting-age population would be 26 percent.

On a cold, sunny Wednesday morning, the University of Canterbury hall is buzzing with students attending a Winter Wellness event. Amidst cold house improvement tips and blood pressure measurements, the Bounce.org.nz stall stands out.
Bounce volunteers and twins Eleanor and Annabel Hurton invite the students to scribble their best well-being tip on a post-it note, then plaster it to a board. It's an easy, effective way to get the students thinking about positive well-being practices they can implement in their own lives.
The Bounce Tips are Know Yourself, Treat Your Body Well, Keep Doing What You Love, Make A Difference, and Connect With Others. The board is filling up fast and by lunchtime it's overflowing.
After the Canterbury earthquakes, a lot of projects were set up to help the recovery of different sectors of the public, but psychosocial messaging for young people was a hole that needed to be plugged.
So Red Cross stepped in, creating the positive and proactive Bounce project, that encourages young people to "live life well".
Young people have been at the core of Bounce's kaupapa since its origins. It was young people who adapted the health sector's "Five Ways to Well-being" into the Bounce Tips, using language that would resonate with other young people and offer them diverse perspectives with which to think about their well-being.
Now, the team of 12 passionate volunteers are attending events such as the University of Canterbury's Winter Wellness event, have a website and active social media presence on facebook and instagram, and run workshops for both schools and youth groups in order to spread their message. The name "Bounce" comes from the group's belief that recovery from any disaster, major event, or even day-to-day stress is not about bouncing back to the way things were: it's about bouncing forward and going into new spaces feeling better equipped and more resilient than ever before.
Bounce's 12 volunteers, all between 13-21 years, are all living and breathing the five Bounce Tips themselves.
The volunteers are certainly taking the 'Connect With Others' tip to heart and the term "second family" comes up several times when they talk about their fellow Bounce mates.
Watching the Bounce team, they are definitely connecting and making a difference to the lives of young people, not just in Christchurch, but across the earthquake-affected Hurunui and Kaikoura regions as well. Keep doing what you love, Bounce!

A Company Did a Confidential Investigation to Find the Best Place to Work in the UAE
Best Place to Work in UAE
1 May, 2018 by Najla Moussa
The best places to work are those that create a sense of ownership and family for employees within a company - not the ones that offer freebies, found a study by the Great Place to Work (GPTW) institute, a global research training and consultancy firm.
In its 8th edition, the study, 25 best workplaces in the UAE, looked at companies in a wide range of industries – from fashion and furniture to finance and healthcare.
So how do they figure it out objectively? According to the firm, they review extensively, taking into consideration things like credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. They also base two thirds of the ratings on the confidential feedback of employees, while the remaining third is based on audits done on the company's management and HR practices.
This year's winner was furniture store, The One, owned by a Swedish entrepreneur and philanthropist. Employees at The One said that they feel like they make a difference in their jobs. GPTW also pointed out that most leadership positions at The One were filled by employees that had started off in junior positions, indicating they're into fostering growth. The furniture brand was also recognized for learning from best human resources and corporate social responsibility practices around the world.
Other big winners were DHL (down one spot to land at #2), Omnicom Media (also down one spot, now at #3), and Splash (#4). All of these were on last year's list too.
According to Managing Director of GPTW in the UAE, Maha Zaatari, a great place to work is defined by the inspiration and happiness it fosters in its employees. She believes that "happy people produce more, live longer and drive better economic development in their community."
We certainly agree. Check out the other fabulous places to work in the UAE below.
