The Touchy Subject of CEO Dismissal
Firing the CEO can be one of the most difficult decisions a board can make – it will also be among the most critical. However, many boards, including those of non-profit organisations, will resist bringing up the need to fire their CEOs, while other boards will be far too quick to fire their chief executives.
There are many reasons a board may be slow to act when it comes to CEO dismissal:
In the case of the CEO demonstrating to the board that they are unable to cope with the demands of the position, one reason a board might not handle worsening situations such as this well is that directors may not know of the abilities of the managers already present inside the organisation or what is reasonable performance for the sector in which the organisation operates.
Directors may also be concerned about how key stakeholders, such as major clients or funders, may react to the potential removal of the CEO.
Other reasons for the board not acting include concerns about finding another CEO with the appropriate skills and experience to take the job; or the CEO's contract includes a large termination payment; or in other cases, the board may wish to avoid open conflict with the CEO, particularly if the CEO dominates the board.
On the other hand, firing the CEO too quickly can mean the organisation may lose a good CEO, who just needed to learn from their mistakes and prevent a recurrence. For example, the CEO's leadership style may be highly directive, while the previous CEO was collaborative, which may upset both the board and the CEO's direct reports. Boards must recognise that each CEO brings a unique set of knowledge, skills and experience, and they will not be the same as the previous CEO or any other CEO the board was hoping to emulate. It should be noted that CEOs are not always readily available. Further, most organisations will not have developed succession plans successfully and, thus, will not have managers prepared to step up to the CEO position, particularly at short notice, which is another reason to think carefully about firing the CEO too quickly.
Replacing a CEO is time-consuming, expensive, and potentially disruptive – the implementation of board decisions can be left in limbo, staff morale can plummet and there is always the risk that the new CEO will not perform any better. Before rushing to dismiss the CEO, the board must balance the costs of replacement against the potential benefits.
When the board does make the decision to dismiss the CEO, there generally two major reasons:
A sudden crisis involving the CEO such as a breach of the law or the organisation's code of conduct or actions that are so damaging to the organisation and its reputation that the CEO must be removed.
Ongoing pattern of non-performance, e.g.
Failure to live up to the agreed-upon standards of performance;
Inability to fit into the culture of the organisation or lead effectively; or
Inability to implement the agreed strategy or adapt to a changing environment, which is often the case in the non-profit sector.
Many organisations now contract their CEOs on a continuing contract, but subject to the board having the power to terminate the contract for either any disclosed reason or non-disclosed reason, upon a notice period, often either 3 or 6 months.
In addition to the normal CEO assessment process, which should provide feedback from the board and the CEO's direct reports, the board is responsible for ensuring there is a process to bring any issues with the CEO's performance to them as soon as they occur, for example, workplace bullying accusations or loss of a major contract. In other words, the board should provide the CEO with real-time feedback.
Should the board not be satisfied with the CEO's actions on these matters, it will need to investigate the problems further to find their causes. If these investigations reveal that the CEO is not handling the job well, the board may need to take a more active role in the strategic and functional operation of the organisation. The CEO will need to be set clear objectives and have the consequences of their actions clearly outlined.
By this stage, it is not uncommon for the CEO to realise that the problem is escalating out of their control and the CEO may offer to resign. Alternatively, the board will need to act decisively to limit damage should they need to remove a CEO.
Key questions for the board at this stage include:
What needs to be considered before determining grounds for termination?
The board should understand the organisation's legal obligations as the CEO's employer, e.g. contract terms, Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
Who will provide the CEO with notice of termination?
For example, in some cases the chair and another director may meet with the CEO to give them a letter of termination, explain the reasons the termination and provide them with the opportunity to ask questions.
Who will lead the company when the CEO is dismissed?
The board should be prepared to appoint an interim CEO for the period of transition.
Who will be charged with moving the termination process forward and ensuring all arrangements, policies, procedures and legislative requirements are followed?
Will an ad hoc board committee be established, or will the chair or a subgroup of directors oversee the process?
What are the external reporting requirements?
If the CEO is on the board of a non-profit organisation, ASIC or the ACNC must be notified.
What impact will this have on our key stakeholders?
The board should consider the impact of replacing the CEO on internal and external stakeholders – a communication plan should be put in place to address any concerns.
Finally, the board should also consider its part in the CEO's failure:
Did the board communicate its expectations to the CEO?
Did it hire the right CEO given the organisation's strategy?
Did the board regularly review the CEO's performance through a formal assessment process?
Did the board provide appropriate support and feedback to the former CEO?
Does the board have the expertise needed to make effective decisions?
By reviewing its own part in the failure of the former CEO, the board will be in a much better position to ensure a successful and productive partnership with the new CEO.

RELA is part of the NF-kappa-B complex. Nf-kB is an inflammatory protein that is essential for cytokine gene expression in T-cells. Also known as nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p65 subunit. RELA has also been shown to modulate immune responses, and activation of RELA is positively associated with multiple types of cancer.
It's better to have this gene decreased most of the time.

Q: i18next: load option not working as expected I am using i18next library for my React project and what I want to achieve is to store en when my browser's language is exactly not en (I don't want to store en-US value as default).
When I look up the doc, there is an option called load and I set it currentOnly now.
However, the default value to store is still en-US when my browser's language is en-US and fallback is en. I thought when I set it currentOnly, it is supposed to apply fallback value (en) because I don't have translation for en-US. What am I wrong with this and how can I fix this?
code is like below.
import i18n from "i18next";
import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next";
import Backend from "i18next-http-backend";
import LanguageDetector from "i18next-browser-languagedetector";

i18n
  .use(Backend)
  .use(LanguageDetector)
  .use(initReactI18next)
  .init({
    fallbackLng: "en",
    load: "currentOnly",
    interpolation: {
      escapeValue: false,
    },
  });

export default i18n;

Last year, research from YouGov for Huthwaite International showed that leading business decision makers consider personal qualities and soft skills to be key in a successful career. Here are the five areas you should work on in order to advance.
The blog previously featured 'The secrets of public speaking' with advice on how to master the potentially nerve-wracking prospect of speaking to an audience. We also covered 'Powerful Presentations' - find out how the 30, 20, 10 rule could make all the difference!


Use the epilator regularly for great results. I can't recommend the brush add-on. It's pretty low grade and I can't find replacement brushes (#89j anywhere online. It's basically a useless extra. Save your money and buy a Clarisonic.
I've tried several different ways to remove hair, wax, shaving, depilatory creams. All with different results and numerous results. I was happy to find that this is less painful than waxing and last longer than creams or shaving. It's easy to clean and use. I spent the money knowing that I would in the long run save money. Compaired to buying razors that are cheap and creams that leave me with a "burn" due to my sensitive skin. Waxing that takes me a bit of time and some skin as well as the hair. Yes, I do it myself. I definitely suggest that you give it a try.

Q: Understanding what happens when you use references of arrays and append them to dictionaries If someone has a better question title, i'm all ears eyes...
I just spent a while on this problem and found the issue was my understanding. I had the following code below (note the comment marked by "## <<--").
It basically takes a dictionary (summaryTotal, e.g. data below) which contains a summary of alarms: both total counts and a list of the summarised alarms and some info about them. The actual alarms are within summaryTotal['Alarms'] which is an array of dictionaries. My function filters this full list of alarms by the alarm source and produces the same format as summaryTotal, but filtered.
The line of code I was having issue with was this one:
summaryFiltered['Alarms'].append(alarm)
In this line, alarm is really a reference to an element from the alarmsTotal list. The alarmsTotal list itself is a reference to summaryTotal['Alarms'].
When I used this line of code and appended alarm, the function at the bottom of the code system.util.jsonEncode (external function to change a python object into a json encoded python object - not too sure on the details), was always coming up with a 'too many recursive calls' error. When I changed what I was appending by creating essentially a new alarm dictionary within a new object and set it to the values within the actual alarm object, then the jsonEncode function started working and not raising recursion exceptions.
I'd like to be able to explain why that is?
When I'm appending alarm to my new array, I think I'm appending the reference of the summaryTotal['Alarms'] object to it, for example summaryTotal['Alarms'][20]... ?
summaryTotal = ['ActiveUnacked':0, 'ActiveAcked': 2, 'ClearUnacked': 23,
                'Alarms':
                [
                  {
                    "name": "Comms Fault",
                    "eventTime": "Fri Mar 05 12:25:27 ACDT 2021",
                    "label": "Comms Fault",
                    "displayPath": "Refrigeration MSB4 MCC PWM Comms Fault",
                    "source": "FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/MSB4 MCC PWM Comms OK",
                    "state": "Cleared, Unacknowledged"
                  },
                  {
                    "name": "Comms Fault",
                    "eventTime": "Fri Mar 05 12:28:46 ACDT 2021",
                    "label": "Comms Fault",
                    "displayPath": "Refrigeration MSB4 MCC PWM Comms Fault",
                    "source": "Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/MSB4 MCC PWM Comms OK",
                    "state": "Cleared, Unacknowledged"
                  }
                ]
               ]

alarmsTotal = summaryTotal['Alarms']
summaryFiltered = {'ActiveAcked':0, 'ActiveUnacked':0, 'ClearUnacked':0, 'Alarms':[]}
for alarm in alarmsTotal:
    if pathFilter in alarm['source']:
        alarmInfo = {'name':alarm['name'],
                     'label':alarm['label'],
                     'displayPath':alarm['displayPath'],
                     'source': alarm['source'],
                     'state': alarm['state'],
                     'eventTime': alarm['eventTime']
                    }
        summaryFiltered['Alarms'].append(alarm) ## <<-- to fix the code, I added `alarmInfo` above and appended `alarmInfo` instead of `alarm`
        if alarm['state'] == 'Cleared, Unacknowledged':
            summaryFiltered['ClearUnacked'] += 1
        if alarm['state'] == 'Active, Unacknowledged':
            summaryFiltered['ActiveUnacked'] += 1
        if alarm['state'] == 'Active, Acknowledged':
            summaryFiltered['ActiveAcked'] += 1

ret = system.util.jsonEncode(summaryFiltered)


Here is some research which I will definitely be following, because it has everything to do with my own developing ideas on human socially-derived individuality. Roy Baumeister has a theory that humans are unique in having true selves, which in turn allowed us to develop highly complex social structures.
combining two ongoing lines of research on group dynamics: that groups are bad, since they bring out conformity, social loafing, and the mob mentality; and that groups are good, encouraging cooperation, division of labor, and the wisdom of crowds. To Baumeister and his colleagues, it's the role of the self that drives groups in either direction, for good or for ill. The group suffers when when the self is subsumed into it, and responsibility — for morality or performance — gets diffused. But if the self retains its individuality, then all sorts of benefits follow.
This suggests that culture---of a society or of a business---matters a great deal, because it is through the culture that ideas of self and its relation to the group emerge.
For too many, the choice seems to be radical individualism or collectivism. But the fact of the matter is that humans are neither, and do not do well as either. Humans, as thinkers like Adam Smith, David Hume, and F. A. Hayek understood and argued, are both simultaneously, meaning we are social individuals.
It's a marrying of collectivist and individualist impulses, and the parallels abound. Contemporary thinking about how the brain optimally functions contends that the brain is at its best when all regions are differentiated from one another as well as integrated into a whole, like a city where neighborhoods develop their local flavor while still being connected to the rest of them.
It should not be surprising that things like the human brain and human macrostructures like cities follow this pattern of unity in variety and variety in unity. Another great thinker, Francis Hutcheson (teacher of Adam Smith) argued that that was the definition of beauty. Beautiful brains, beautiful humans, and beautiful cities. None of this is surprising to me, anyway.
Not just cosmology, astronomy, and geography give us the stage and the set and the props, but so to do all of the physical sciences. And while history, psychology, and religion certainly give us the plot and the action, so too do the humanities, sociology, anthropology, and economics. More, each actor (you, the student) has to understand the motivation of the character they are playing (them now, them in the future), meaning an understanding of psychology (including neurobiology), sociology, economics, and the humanities is necessary.
In my own experience, the more I have come to learn about how my brain works and learns, the more freedom I have gained. I have learned to see many of the unconscious things I have been doing, and by bringing them to consciousness, I am now freer in my choices. It is the freedom of the author well-educated in grammar, logic and rhetoric: I can now better edit myself to make a better story of my life.
Seeing each of these aspects as part of a great drama allows us to see how they are interconnected, and how and why they relate to us at all. The actors on a stage don't get to pretend that the stage and set and props and lighting and so on aren't there or that they have no effect on what they do, for if they do, they will run into the set, misuse or fail to use the props, and speak from the shadows---not to mention potentially fall off the stage! If you don't understand the plot, how can you act well? If you don't know the character, how can you act well? You'll just be stiffly going through the motions, doing a poor job of acting---indeed, being a bad actor.
This is why a liberal education is vital. And not just a multidisciplinary education, where nothing is connected, but an interdisciplinary education, wherein all the links are clearly made. This is what makes for a truly liberal education.
Aristotle argued that strong rhetoric requires you to demonstrate logos, ethos, and pathos.
What this implies, and what I haven't really seen anyone discuss in regards to Aristotle's rhetoric (it may be out there, but I haven't seen it discussed) is that if you are going to teach rhetoric, you have to teach students to not only be logical/rational, but also to be ethical and to have empathy.
This means that a liberal education, rooted in teaching grammar, logic, and rhetoric, requires an education in ethics and empathy.
Now ethics and empathy are hardly the same thing, as I discuss here in relation to both of their relationship to beauty and the sublime. And we know now that literature increases empathy in adults and in children in part by improving theory of mind. Indeed, as Aristotle pointed out, fiction/myth is more philosophical/ethical than nonfiction/history precisely because the latter only tell us how things are, while the former tell us how things could and ought to be. And as I suggest here when nonfiction storytellers try to moralize, it actually backfires--or, more accurately, it emphasizes the negative aspects of empathy.
And yes, empathy does have a few negative aspects. For one, it can reduce utilitarian judgment. For another, strong empathy for your in-group means increased hatred for the out-group. Empathy feeds tribalism, while ethics and justice undermine it. Thus, an education in ethics undermines the negative aspects of empathy, and an education in literature increases the positive aspects of empathy, extending it to the Other (thus making us more moral). One can argue that empathy is a part of the moral order, but it's a mixed bag portion that has to be balanced out by other moral considerations. But both empathy and morality are important to develop in no small part because they help us live with others, and they help to moderate other social orders.
Of course, pathos is more than just empathy. It also involves emotions. Meaning, a liberal education needs to educate people in their emotions as well. This is where an education in music and poetry comes in. Indeed, music is one of the liberal arts, though found in the Quadrivium rather than the Trivium. But here we can see where the overlap and reinforce each other. And poetry contributes further by bridging music and the literary arts.
We can see then how deeply interconnected these aspects of a liberal education is. A moral education, gained through moral teachings and the arts, is a necessary aspect of getting a liberal education simply for the fact that it's necessary to most properly learn rhetoric. The same is equally true of gaining an emotional education through music and poetry and the other arts, to be able to develop the pathos needed to better learn rhetoric.
And all of this is just to master rhetoric!
Individualism is the standard of justice.
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are African-American?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are a woman?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are man?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Hispanic?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are gay?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are poor?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Chinese?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are rich?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are a business owner?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Muslim?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are of European descent?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are a scientist?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Southern?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Easterners?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Jew?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Leftists?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Rightists?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are liberals?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are conservatives?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Buddhist?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are an artist?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are transgendered?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are uneducated?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are college educated?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are Hindu?
Do you think a person is guilty just because they are a laborer?
If you don't, meaning you judge a person's guilt or innocence on what that particular individual did, then you act being just.
If you go through this list and agree with some and disagree with others, then you don't believe in justice at all. And you know it. Because even if you disagree with some of the group distinctions in this list, you know for a fact that deciding guilt or innocence based on that group membership is unjust. How do you know that? Because you know that it would be unjust for you to have your guilt or innocence determined by your group membership.
A liberal education must be rooted in grammar, logic, and rhetoric. (Not just these, but I'm only going to discuss these three). If any are neglected, you do not and cannot have a liberal education.
Education today is postmodern, meaning exclusively rhetorical, meaning illiberal. Almost all of our problems with education, from the general lack of knowledge to the rise of the social justice warriors, can be traced to this fact. Grammar and logic are both actively neglected, indeed outright discouraged. I have taught composition classes, and I know. I have been told explicitly not to spend more than a week on either grammar or logic, and most of the composition classes I have taught have even been titled "Rhetoric."
Grammar is of course more than just grammar in the narrow sense of the term, though is most certainly must include that as well. Stratford Caldecott in Beauty in the Word argues that grammar also includes mythos and memory as well. Indeed, ht points out that the ancient Greeks understood the arts as being products of the memory. We have to have an education founded in memory, in stories, in understanding the deep relations among things. With grammar, we see that each and every sentence is really a little story, and thus we understand the narrative structure of our thinking itself, insofar as that thinking is rooted in language. More, what are we remembering but tradition? Thus tradition is tied in with grammar.
Caldecott points out that a grammar education (and grammatical world view) is what dominated in the pre-Enlightenment era. With the Renaissance and the rise of the Enlightenment, we moved toward a more logic-reason based education and world view. Logic, thinking, and knowledge are what came to dominate, with the resultant rise in science. Logic is unconnected with tradition, and an over-emphasis of logic can result in a rejection of tradition. Naturally, we need an education in logic, broadly understood, as it helps us better understand what is true (and to reject what in tradition is not true), but its over-emphasis unbalanced us and resulted in a backlash.
Rhetoric emphasizes persuasion and it is deeply connected to community. What will persuade people? What will foster community? While Aristotle argues you need logos, ethos, and pathos, if rhetoric becomes overly dominant, it is typically logos which suffers (especially if it is logic which is specifically what people are reacting against). And while stories are typically used to persuade and create pathos, those stories are inevitably unconnected to tradition (or outright reject tradition). Ethos becomes emphasized over everything, which gets expressed in the postmodern world as 'I am good because I oppose racism and sexism and homophobia, so you should listen to me and do as I say.' While the first may be true (I think it is, anyway), the latter doesn't necessarily follow. More, it gets reversed such that people think that 'Because I am good, I am right,' meaning that if they are right then you are wrong, and if you are wrong then you are not good, and if you are not good you are racist, sexist, and homophobic. More, that ethos is based almost entirely on pathos, meaning how the person feels about something is what matters. This is where the social justice warriors come from.
The danger is that we react against rhetoric in the same way and return to either a pure grammar or a pure logic. Indeed, there are some indications that we are returning to a more grammatical way of viewing the world with complex systems theory. The good news is that complex systems theory is also a logic based on that grammar, and it is a recognition of the necessary fact of community in all things as well. A recognition of deep structures fostering ecological rationality in the creation and maintenance of community at all levels of reality is precisely what systems theory, or spontaneous orders theory, is all about.
To understand the world this way means we necessarily must start receiving a liberal education. A liberal education prepares us to understand the world as deeply complex, interactive, and interrelated. Each of the parts of liberal education contribute, but when they are individually emphasized at the expense of each other, education becomes deeply illiberal. Which is why education (and our societies) seem to swing between liberalism and various illiberalisms. Rarely do the three liberal language arts come together to reinforce each other, but when they do, we get a renaissance. Our current illiberal society is dominated by rhetoric. We need to reunite it with grammar and logic (and of course the other liberal arts) to rebuild our educational systems and renew our world.
There's a new literary magazine out there called The Dial: A Magazine for Poetry, Philosophy and Religion, in which I have three poems. The editor tried to place the poems in thematic conjunction, meaning you should really read it from cover to cover.
The editor is interested in publishing libertarian authors, though as you can see from the collection that the magazine itself doesn't have an overwhelmingly oppressive ideology upon which it insists. It's much more interesting than that.
Does the constructal law prove the existence of natural rights? Is the constructal law the bridge between is and ought we've been looking for?
While I do think there is much to recommend in the linked approach, the author seems to neglect our evolved social behaviors, which do provide us with a certain degree of duration if not eternity.
Of course, these network processes producing these structures are found at the physical, biological, psychological, and social (including economic) levels, so we shouldn't be surprised if life itself doesn't create rights through following these rules of flow, and we also shouldn't be surprised if these rights find varying expressions in social-level flows.
John Tooby argues that humans do not live in groups; rather, we live in coalitions.
Coalitions are sets of individuals interpreted by their members and/or by others as sharing a common abstract identity (including propensities to act as a unit, to defend joint interests, and to have shared mental states and other properties of a single human agent, such as status and prerogatives).
A coalition is something you can " form, maintain, join, support, recognize, defend, defect from, factionalize, exploit, resist, subordinate, distrust, dislike, oppose, and attack." Unlike a group, which is sort of the human equivalent of a pile, a coalition has structure, identity, and emergent properties. Societies are made up of a variety of coalitions, but it would probably be best to identify a society as an interactive set of coalitions than of a group of people. That is, a society would be a degree of complexity greater than a coalition, and a coalition a degree of complexity greater than its human constituents.
It may be the case that the stronger coalitions are, the weaker the society, and vice versa. That is, the Hayekian Great Society requires relatively weak coalitions to ensure a high degree of social cohesion at the level of a given society. That society may or may not be limited to a given nation's borders, as the fact that one can go to Europe and, for the most part, fit in and get along without a great deal of trouble proves. That is, there is a degree of "society" that transcends national borders, and is increasingly encompassing the globe.
We need to better understand coalitions and their roles in our lives if we are going to better understand our social psychologies. These coalitions in part overlap many of our organizations, but may include many such organizations, or none. These coalitions in part extend out into greater society, but at the same time weaken as they extend. Of course, that weakening is both a problem (we may feel something missing in our lives) and a solution (the weaker they are, the better we can get along with others). This is clearly something we need to better understand to develop better ideas of what it means for us to have a healthy classically liberal society and what it means for the idea of individualism, and what individualism itself means.

Sandman PR opens Sydney office led by new partner
Australia's premier marine PR/media specialist Sandman Public Relations has expanded its operations with an office in Sydney led by new partner Jamie Millar.
Millar has joined the team from the yachting sector and was previously brand manager for a major yacht and boat importer. With a wealth of experience in marketing, editing, PR and sales, along with operational experience in yacht charter and technical management, Millar has worked in the high-net-worth marine industry around the world from the Mediterranean and UK to the Caribbean, North America and Australia.
Sandman PR director Ben Sandman said he had been looking for the right person to join the company for some time.
"It's time to expand the business to cover a more diverse cross section of the marine industry and Jamie is exactly the right person to assist with these plans," Sandman said.
"His passion for the industry, unique knowledge and senior management experience means we can take Sandman PR to the next level and beyond, which is great news for our current and prospective clients."
Millar has used PR as a key element of the marketing mix in many roles and has a genuine understanding of how it helps maintain a positive reputation, influence target markets and, most importantly, delivers credible leads to businesses sales teams.

Johannesburg: Arrival city
Johannesburg, South Africa's gold rush city, is a city of arrival. As part of the largest and fastest growing urban region in the country it's a place that people continue to migrate to in search of gold, and for a better life than the one left behind, says Zahira Asmal, editor of a series of books that explore the forces shaping the nation's cities
One hundred and thirty years ago there was no city on the rolling grasslands of the Highveld. Johannesburg crashed into existence with the discovery of gold and saw massive movements of people into the city in a relatively short space of time. This young city churned by movement is almost always new, aspirational and ambitious. So many of its residents are either themselves recent migrants or from families who moved here not all that long ago.
The golden resource that ignited the birth of the city was all but depleted near Johannesburg as political tensions hardened during the 1970s and 80s. Democracy came to South Africa in 1994 and with it began the difficult process of rebuilding and reconnecting a socially and spatially fragmented society. According to the Gauteng City-Region Observatory's Quality of Life Survey 2013, the majority of post-1994 arrivals to Johannesburg are South Africans, with almost half of Johannesburg's population arriving from outside Gauteng, the small province in which Johannesburg is centrally located. This is a great indicator of the city's allure and its multiple connections to other cities in the southern African region, the rest of the continent and across the globe. Despite Johannesburg's complex social and spatial infrastructure, new arrivals nevertheless find a foothold in the city, often moving from social and urban peripheries to its multiple centres of opportunity.
Johannesburg is a city in transition and is a populated with people in transition. It can be defined not only by its various migrant populations, its often improvised appearance and flux, but also by its constant and fixed links it fosters in its widening sphere of urban influence. The city is constantly linked in an intensive way to those places where many of its residents originate. We see this in the perpetual movement of people, money and knowledge between the two, often laying the foundations for further migration from these places. This exchange facilitates the care of older generations and the education of younger ones. It also frequently finances the improvement of neighbourhoods, rural towns and even other cities.
Contemporary Johannesburg is the result of significant change. Its middle class has expanded substantially in terms of numbers and diversity, infrastructure rollout has ensured that many dislocated neighbourhoods connect better to the city, basic service provision has improved vastly, and the city's economy has diversified and expanded rapidly.
Yet, in spite of all these efforts in reshaping the city, it remains significantly unequal. History has shown us how important migration to the city has been, yet today social divides and the stigmatisation of foreign nationals has led to xenophobic uprisings against cross-border migrants. Despite this, the city offers infrastructure, education, healthcare and other basic services to visitors that may far exceed those at their origins – particularly for people feeling war or poverty. Johannesburg is home to the JSE, the largest stock exchange in Africa, and head offices of multinationals including banks, investment companies, media, entertainment and mining companies, as well as local and global NGOs. It is a magnet in terms of urban culture, music, fashion, art and architecture. And a convenient first stop from other global cities for people en route to other parts of Africa and other South African cities.
In the midst of Johannesburg's frenetic movement, I am curious about the future trajectory of this arrival city in our democractic age. Does Johannesburg, in its public and private capacities, both formal and informal, truly welcome its new arrivals? Is the city spatially planned for new possibilities? As a modern society, do we embrace the movement of ideas and cultures in innovative and compelling ways? Are we prepared for our urban identities to be challenged, renewed and reimagined?
I fear the answer is no, at least not sufficiently. The rapid change of the arrival city is often hampered by stasis, inaction and apathy. Despite its modern movements and improvements, Johannesburg is always tested by slow change, lingering spatial divisions, routine ways of doing things, exclusion and, in many scenarios, the constant reapplication of outdated colonial and apartheid thinking to contemporary challenges.
We must never forget that arrivals to Johannesburg will continue to claim and shape their own spaces – as is their right. They will discover and rediscover, use and re-use, claim and reinterpret. Its younger arrivals and activists will march with purpose and, in doing so, repurpose and rescript places and meaning, creating new opportunities and possibilities. This city is en route to being a productive mix of the planned and unfettered.
We need to view this continuous movement of people – this arrival to Johannesburg – not as a problem to be solved but rather as an opportunity to reimagine, dream and co-create. This city in constant motion needs to once more proudly assert, "I have arrived!"
This is an extract from Movement Johannesburg, edited by Zahira Asmal and Guy Trangoš and launched towards the end of last year. Read more about the series here

Yael Warshel is an assistant professor of telecommunications, Rock Ethics Institute research associate, and affiliated faculty of international affairs, international and comparative education, African studies, and Middle Eastern studies. She works at the intersection between international media, child, and conflict analysis, practice and policy specializing in the concept of "peace communication" she pioneered. Dr. Warshel is fluent in and/or has studied five languages and conducted fieldwork in the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, the Balkans and Latin America. At Penn State, Dr. Warshel leads a Rock Ethics initiative about Children, Youth, and Media in International and Global Conflict Zones; and co-leads a second about Human Rights and Forced-Migration. As part of the former, she is the Founding Director of the Children, Media and Conflict Zones Lab.
An award-winning scholar, Dr. Warshel is the recipient of three top dissertation awards for her research about peace communication, including one in peace studies and two in global and international communication from the International and National Communication associations. She has also earned several more awards in communication, public service, Middle Eastern and African studies, including a teaching award from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
Dr. Warshel's current field-based book project explores human and communication rights of stateless and forcibly-migrated and –sedentarized conflict zones implicated populations through her interpretations of North West African youth's global uses of digital media. Alongside that, she is the author of Experiencing the Israeli Palestinian Conflict: Children, Peace Communication and Socialization, from Cambridge University Press. The book critically determines the efficacy of peace communication interventions in managing political conflicts, using as its case her multi-year reception study of peacebuilding versions of Israeli and Palestinian Sesame Street. Dr. Warshel's summary TEDx talk about it is available here. She is also co-editor with Elihu Katz of the political communication book, Election Studies: What's Their Use?, now in its second edition, and continues to research the comparative determinants of international coverage of conflicts, per the contrast between frames and agendas set, and numbers and magnitude of conflicts. You can read about some of that in an interview conducted with her by the International Communication Association.
Dr. Warshel serves on the board of the American Institute for Maghrib Studies. She critically consults international media practitioners and policy makers about the efficacy of using media to make peace, and has been cited by a broad range of media sources. Before joining Penn State, Dr. Warshel taught at UCLA, UCSD, and American University as an assistant professor of international communication and associate faculty of international peace and conflict resolution. She coordinated communication policy for UNESCO, worked as a photojournalist with the Zimbabwe‐Inter‐Africa‐News‐Agency, and conducted policy‐relevant research with the Center for International Development and Conflict Management, the Jerusalem‐based Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace, the Center for Middle East Development, and the Center for Research on Peace Education. She earned her Ph.D. in communication from UC San Diego, an M.A. in communication from the Annenberg School of the University of Pennsylvania, and a bachelor's in interdisciplinary studies from UC Berkeley, which she combined with a photography major from the USC School of Cinema-Television.

(3) what estimate she has made of the safe distance for separation for control of major accident hazards sites from (a) residential houses, (b) schools and (c) businesses; and if she will make a statement. [149735]
23 July 2007 : Column 739W
Mr. Iain Wright [holding answer 16 May 2007]: Decisions on proposals for development are taken by a local planning authority, or a Planning Inspector, in accordance with its development plan. Decisions are based upon the plans and policies contained within the regional spatial strategy prepared by the regional planning body and local development documents prepared by the local planning authority.
The Town and Country Planning (Regional Planning) (England) Regulations 2004 (SI No. 2203) and the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 (SI No. 2204) specify the form and content of regional spatial strategies and development plan documents. In preparing their plans, planning bodies are required to have regard to the objectives of preventing major accidents and of limiting the consequences of such accidents; and to the need, in the long term, to maintain appropriate distances between major accident hazards sites and residential areas and other locations frequented by the public.
Guidance issued in Planning Policy Statement 12 on Local Development Frameworks makes clear that, in preparing or reviewing local development documents, local planning authorities need to ensure that they include a policy or policies on the location of establishments where hazardous substances are used or stored, and on the development of land within the vicinity of such establishments. Article 10 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure Order) 1995 requires a local planning authority to consult the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency before determining planning applications for new major accident hazard sites, or for modifications to existing sites. They must also consult with these bodies when residential and other specified types of development is proposed within an area that the Health and Safety Executive has notified to the local planning authority because of the presence of hazardous substances within the vicinity.
Applications for development of sites that fall within the scope of control of major accident hazards regulations are made to local planning authorities. Records of such applications are not held centrally and the information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
With regard to appropriate separation distances, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 23 July 2007, Official Report, UIN 150808.
Ms Keeble: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many people were sleeping rough (a) three months ago, (b) six months ago, (c) 12 months ago and (d) at the most recent date for which figures are available. [150894]
Mr. Iain Wright: Communities and Local Government publishes an annual national rough sleeping estimate. The most recent estimate, published in September 2006, showed 502 people were sleeping rough in England on any single night.
Homelessness: Finance
Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what funding (a) Leeds city council and (b) voluntary sector organisations in Leeds have received from the Homelessness Directorate under the Hostels Improvement Programme. [151447]
Mr. Iain Wright: Leeds city council has received £430,000 funding under the Hostels Capital Improvement Programme (HCIP) for Faith Lodge hostel run by St. George's Crypt . The HCIP will provide over £90 million in the period 2004-05 to 2007-08, to around 175 projects in 62 local authority areas in England to make hostels and other facilities for homeless people places of change. 14 projects have been allocated HCIP funding totalling over £8 million in Yorkshire and Humberside region.
Homelessness: Government Assistance
Sandra Gidley: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much the Government spent on organisations to help the homeless in (a) Southampton, (b) Hampshire and (c) England in each year since 1997. [151046]

Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many homes there were in Bournemouth in (a) 2001, (b) 2003 and (c) 2007. [149233]
Mr. Iain Wright [holding answer 12 July 2007]: The dwelling stock in Bournemouth local authority area in 2001, 2003 and 2006 was 76,485; 76,798 and 86,138 respectively. Figures are as reported by the local authority and represent the stock as at 31 March in each year. The Department does not yet have the equivalent figures for 2007.

Housing: Combined Heat And Power
Mr. Dai Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform on the opportunities for the installation of community and large-scale combined heat and power and their associated heat grids in the new housing development and eco-towns announced by the Prime Minister to the House on 11 July. [150398]
Yvette Cooper: I am today launching the Eco-towns Prospectus, which sets out the Government's vision for new towns of five to 20,000 homes which will be exemplar "green" developments, with the aim of achieving zero carbon across the whole development. Community and large scale combined heat and power could play an important role in meeting this objective and we are looking to each project to act as an exemplar for particular aspects of low and zero carbon technology. Alongside this and other sustainability objectives, we intend that eco-towns should play a key role in easing the affordability crisis by ensuring that between 30 and 50 per cent. of their new housing is affordable as well as meeting our other essential criteria on high quality design, good provision for jobs, sustainable travel, services and community development. The launch of the prospectus today will be accompanied by an invitation for local authorities and other stakeholders to respond with their views on potential sites.

Before long, you might be able to legally purchase some pot in five new states just because you want a chill night at home with friends. And in four additional states, you might be able to qualify for medical marijuana if you have certain conditions.
Residents of Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada will decide if they want to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Meanwhile, Arkansas, Florida, and North Dakota will decide if the use of marijuana for medical purposes will be decriminalized.
If the recreational marijuana measure passes in California — which is the most populous state in the country and also the sixth biggest economy in the world — it could help push legalization at a national level.
In the U.S., the use of pot (for recreational and medical purposes) is already legal in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and in the District of Columbia. In 20 additional states, medical marijuana can be obtained with a doctor's prescription.
The legalization of recreational pot could provide a huge economic boost for the states that have the measure in their ballots. According to the Marijuana Policy Project, an organization devoted to policy reform on pot, Colorado collected more than $135 million from the taxes and fees paid by marijuana businesses last year. Recreational use of pot has been legal there since 2012.
When it comes to medical marijuana, between 60% and 89% of Americans support its use, the Marijuana Policy Project reports.
Ahead, find out which states will be voting on which measures.

Review: Ida
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
Stars: Agata Trzebuchowska, Agata Kulesza, Dawid Ogrodnik
It's all too rare that you see a film so humbling that it takes you out of your daily life and puts you somewhere else. On a more reflective plain. Ida, a Polish film from director Pawel Pawlikowski, is one such diamond in the rough; a quietly astonishing piece of filmmaking which has taken me out of my usual rhythms to a more contemplative, philosophical head space. A transformative experience, meditative and provocative. The latter not in the sense that it confronts the viewer with arresting or difficult imagery (though it is by no means light viewing), but rather that it awakens avenues of thought that most cinema doesn't attempt to tap into.
Set in the early 60's, Ida tells the tale of Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska) who has grown up at a convent. On the eve of taking her vows, she is encouraged by her mother superior to make contact with her sole living relative, a woman named Wanda (Agata Kulesza) who lives nearby. Anna makes the short excursion, leaving the safety and security of the nunnery, only to be confronted with some of the more caustic realities of the world outside of her devout cocoon. Wanda is an alcoholic, prone to bringing home random men from jazz bars, weighed down by the aftershocks from World War II that permeate the land like symptoms of communal post-traumatic stress. The brittle winter around these women feels like the country itself frozen in panic, waiting for recovery.
Wanda reveals to Anna that her given name is in fact Ida, that she is of Jewish origin, and that her parents were murdered and the location of their final resting place is unknown. Anna's unilateral Catholic upbringing is suddenly blurred out at the borders and she begins a journey of self-discovery. This isn't the only revelation Wanda brings Anna; her exposure to the world awakens questions already blossoming about her own sexuality and susceptibility to 'sinful thoughts'. Anna initially rejects these things, but as her sphere of experience widens these questions are brought nearer to the forefront of her mind. Together the two women search for the bones of their kin, unearthing a strain of local anti-Semitism as they strive toward grace and closure.
Pawlikowski approaches the solemnity of the subject matter via a classical 1.33:1 aspect ratio and crisp black and white imagery. However, if the above brief suggests that the film ought to be filed beside the likes of Schindler's List in the pantheon of modern-day addresses on Holocaust horrors, then you'd do well to think again. This is not such a film, though the shadows of WW2 hang heavy over proceedings. Instead this is a more personal journey, one more concerned with the intimate scale upon which history contorts us. It is a deeply empathetic film, one that moves with a quiet determination (i.e. it's very, very slow) and one in which moments of purity are conjured through the always-disarming compositions.
In fact if I've seen a more consistently beautiful film than Ida recently, I can't recall what it might've been. Pawlikowski rarely if ever moves his camera (the final shot is the only instance I can recall), instead affording us shot after shot of carefully framed images. Frequently the characters in the film are crammed into the very bottom of the frame, ceilings and skylines dwarfing them. Initially this seemed as though they were hemmed in, crushed by the world around them, but as the film progresses the sense becomes more that they are being drawn to scale, that Pawlikoski is positioning them against the scope of the heavens above them. The religious connotations are pressed onto the picture through this persistently off-kilter framing.
Yet Ida makes no judgements, and certainly, as Anna's 'awakening' (for want of a better term) continues in the latter half of the film, Pawlikoski is careful not to suggest that she has been in any way corrupted, or for that matter that sides as didactic as good and evil exist in the world of self-discovery. Ida suggests openly that the 'sinful thoughts' Wanda alludes to are nothing of the kind; merely the patterns by which we learn to shape ourselves. Nevertheless there is a sense of breathtaking revelation the first time that Anna releases her hair from the tight-fit of her omnipresent wimple (two words I didn't think I'd be combining anytime soon).
This sense of subtle change, of occasion, is made so evocative not just though the precision framing of the subject, but by the subject herself. Trzebuchowska is an astonishing find, and she quietly, calmly dominates every frame she features in. Her eyes like limitless black pools reflecting a sadness and acceptance of the world wise beyond her years. She conjures to mind the open-hearted tenderness of Maria Falconetti in Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc. Though as with every detail of this heart-stopping film, she is subdued, measured, contained rather than histrionic. At her most arresting, one senses an understanding of the world in her crystalline features, as much a mix of sadness as of love.
Ida will not suit all tastes. It is defiantly, brazenly 'art-house' and approached in the wrong frame of mind will prove too much of a slow-burn for many. Yet when treated as a serious piece of artistic expression there can be few peers to it on 2014's release schedule, and it positions Pawlikoski as a formidable presence on the European cinematic landscape. That it stands up when compared not only to Dreyer but also to the likes of Godard or Bergman announces the quiet, soulful power of this portrait. It may appear cold as the snow, but there's an undeniable warmth beneath that frozen surface. Humanity colours the film where Pawlikoski has left it monochrome. Until it feels disarmingly personal. Film rarely achieves such understated connections.

The International Trade Club, sponsored by Cassons, is going from strength to strength and now totals 109 members. Of these 14 are actively contributing to the work of Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy as they negotiate the exit from the EU.
At this month's breakfast meeting 4 speakers provided fellow exporters with help and advice to aid their export business.
Richard Horn from SI Risk who specialise in assessing the risk of exporters who travel the countries of the world to sell their goods and services. Richard highlighted some of the simple steps that should be done before travelling to a foreign country. He pointed out that companies have a duty of care to their employees who travel abroad and that they need to assess the risk of travelling to that country and take the necessary steps to look after their staff.
This work will include desk research to understand some of the specific issues facing visitors to the country and in some cases an extraction plan to quickly and effectively get that member of staff out of the country. SI Risk themselves offer a tracking service to business via a phone app that enables them to know where that person is at any time. They also highlighted the issue of bribery and corruption which was a way of life in some countries but against UK law, even if it occurs overseas.
The 2nd speaker of the day was Helen Cowley, a tax partner at Cassons. Cassons are members of BKR International, a global association of independent accounting and business advisers with over 500 offices in 80 countries. Helen told the audience that this was a network of support they could call on to assist their clients.
The third speaker of the day, Mike Nunnerley, spoke of how LinkedIn and played a major role in helping develop overseas sales particularly in Australia. Mike's company SolX Energy, based in Padiham, produce Energy Efficient Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems.
Mike, who has 8,750 connections on LinkedIn, as used his connections to contact organisations across the world. One of his connections with Australian company Woolworths was with a guy who originates from Yorkshire and supports Sheffield Wednesday. Woolworths are one of Australia's major supermarket chains. Following these initial connections Mike has visited Australia and has been able to meet with people from Woolworths main competitor Coles, who own 780 stores.
The final speaker of the morning was Stef Heywood from the Chamber. Stef is working on the Reginal Programme that supports exporters. The programme, which runs until October 2018, offers a range of support to businesses. This includes tailored support to meet the specific needs of companies. This may include financial support to attend an exhibition overseas. There are regular events planned and as well as overseas missions. Specialist consultants can also be made available to assist companies with specific issues.
Stef asked businesses to get in touch with her to find out how they could benefit and that it was important to do this as soon as possible.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 5th and new members are always welcomed.


Amazon Prime Day: 'a fun fair for consumers', as Amazon would have us believe, is a day and a half of epic deals. A few days later the dust has settled, but some of the deals still remain. Are consumers actually benefitting from this festival of consumerism though? Or is it simply another advertising ploy?
Well according to consumer group Which? goods which are being advertised are often cheaper at other times of the year. Which? are not the only consumer bodies warning against the misleading nature of Prime Day.
These warnings have emerged as activists called on workers at Amazon to strike and calling for consumers to boycott Prime Day.
There are several websites with the purpose of tracking prices on Amazon, which provide information to suggest the bargains advertised are not actually bargains. According to the BBC, one website has tracked the price changes of a Sony PlayStation 4 which currently as part of Prime Day is currently being priced at £299. Yet on 28th November, the PlayStation was advertised at £40 less.
Consumer bodies are worried about excessive spending and its implications on an individual's mental health.
Flash sales and individual sale days like Prime Day are part of the issue. According to Martin Lewis, money saving expert, "Flash sales, deal days and time-limited special offers can sometimes be a way to get a good bargain- but they can also leave people in a financial mess."
"This is a particular issue for people with mental health problems who are more likely to say that they buy things they regret in the night when they are feeling low or are lonely and are more likely to struggle to navigate returns processes."
In response to accusations they are 'duping' customers, Amazon said: " For many of our deals the new price and the previous Amazon price can be seen at the product detail page so customers can make an informed decision at all times."
Despite this statement there is a case to suggest that consumers should be more transparent and have greater support for consumers.
Prime Day is another example of the ever-growing power of large retail organisations such as Amazon, and their increasing influence over consumers.
Amazon is a beacon of modern consumerism and, while it offers a convenient experience for shoppers, it also has an influence that goes further than supplying goods. Perhaps they should be encouraged to be more responsible, regarding that influence, in the future.

World's first COVID-19 Vaccine!!
By Kaveri Yadav
While the world is struggling to figure out a way to control the rapid spread of Covid-19, precautionary methods are all we had at hand. Many countries have been trying to figure out a vaccine for Coronavirus disease and failed. After a series of bad news, Russia turns out to be the one with a good news for the world. Russians are all set to register the world's first vaccine for Covid-19 on 12th August.
The Gamaleya Research Institute and the Russian Defense Ministry have jointly developed the vaccine and the clinical trials had already begun on June 18. The trials are going on in Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital and the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. All the volunteers for the trails gained immunity. The first group was discharged on July 15 and the second on July 20. The third stage trial of the vaccine has been initiated and the vaccine will be registered on August 12. Reports suggest that after the registration process, the vaccine will be tested on 1,600 people to ensure that it's safe and effective. Russia plans to begin mass production of the vaccine from October 2020.
