The Pied Piper of Hamelin: Read Aloud With Highlighting and Music
Author Robert Browning, Kate Greenaway, Stella Arman, Gordon Jacob & Leonard Garrison
Genre: Fairy Tales, Myths & Fables
The Pied Piper of Hamelin: Read Aloud With Highlighting and Music Summary
The Pied Piper of Hamelin: Read Aloud With Highlighting and Music - The first of Animusia's ebooks for young readers and their parents retells a classic children's story in a charming and fun read-aloud edition with word-by-word text highlighting and music.
The delightful poem The Pied Piper, by Robert Browning, has been a classic of children's literature since its publication in 1842. It inspired Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) to make illustrations showing the quaint costume of her parents' childhood, to evoke a gentler and more magical world. The story is read with charm and character—and the proper British accent—by singer and vocal trainer Stella Arman. Our audio presentation also features Gordon Jacob's Pied Piper suite for flute and piccolo to deepen the piper's spell as he leads his innocent followers a merry dance.
The story, originally collected by the Brothers Grimm about 1800, retells a well-known cautionary tale about keeping your word and the power of music and magic.

Lance Armstrong Quits Fighting
In a statement to the AP this evening, Lance Armstrong said enough is enough, he wasn't going to fight the USADA, and indicated that his fans should have faith.
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now.
Calling the USADA investigation against him an unconstitutional witch hunt, he continued
I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. The toll this has taken on my family and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense.
As the AP reporter notes, that certainly means the USADA will treat his statement as an admission of guilt and proceed with their case against him recommending a lifetime ban and strip his titles. What the UCI will do is another matter. The sport is in turmoil with Judge Sparks writing, as he threw Lance's lawsuit against the USADA out
As mystifying as USADA's election to proceed at this date and in this manner may be, it is equally perplexing that these three national and international bodies are apparently unable to work together to accomplish their shared goal — the regulation and promotion of cycling. However, if these bodies wish to damage the image of their sport through bitter infighting, they will have to do so without the involvement of the United States courts.
USA Cycling's late-breaking show of support for UCI, and apparent opposition to USADA's proceeding, indicates there's more drama to come. A possible outcome is the USADA bans Lance and the UCI refuses to uphold it citing their jurisdiction.
As I've mentioned before, whether you think Lance doped or not, of grave concern is the governance of the sport. I've heard that USA Cycling is in disarray.
The AP concludes their story with this statement from Lance's testimony during a trial regarding the 5 million dollar bonus he received for winning the TDF
It's not about money for me. It's also about the faith that people have put in me over the years.
People have faith yes, but when it comes to the sport, it's absolutely about the money.
Lance's full statement is available on his website.

May 23, 2019 | 15:00
After rapid expansion, the franchising market in Vietnam is expected to continue upwards over the next few years with its increased involvement in free trade agreements. Ted Ginsburger, legal consultant at IPMAX Law Firm, offers analysis into how Vietnam goes further in simplifying access to its market for international investors.
Vietnam did not provide a comprehensive legal framework for franchising until 2006. Even though examples of American gas station franchises could be found before 1975, businesses only really started to develop here from the mid-1990's in the food and beverage domain with brands such as KFC or Lotteria. In absence of specific regulations, franchises were mostly implemented though agreements such as trademark licences and tech transfer agreements.
The 2005 Commercial Law No.36/2005/QH11 provided basic regulations related to franchising but it was only with the issuance of the following year's Decree No.35/2006/ND-CP detailing implementation of the law, and Circular No.09/2006/TT-BTM guiding commercial registration that Vietnam provided a rather comprehensive regulation related to franchising.
Decree 35 did not however provide a clear definition of agreements. Even though the Commercial Law gave a general definition, more specifications in Decree 35 would have prevented ambiguities, in particular in regards to the distinction between franchises, distribution agreements, and licence agreements.
As franchising business develops in this country, new regulations tend to facilitate access to the market.
From the adoption of Decree 35 to today, the number of registrations has grown steadily and fast. Since 2007, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has granted 213 franchise licences to foreign companies, with a peak of 32 in 2017. Local brands also followed this trend through examples such as Highland Coffee, Trung Nguyen Coffee, and Thai Express.
More than 50 per cent of the franchises are in the domain of food and beverages, representing around 15 per cent of GDP, and is expected to grow by around 11-12 per cent over the period of 2018-2022. As the food and beverage market grows, experience reminds investors to take into consideration cultural and local circumstances to adapt products. Other fields are now opening and franchise opportunities are now developing in a growing range of sectors such as education, accounting services, entertainment, healthcare and nutrition, fashion, beauty, children's services, and retail.
Vietnam is ranked ninth out of the 12 most valuable markets for international expansion identified by the International Franchise Association (IFA). Having the lowest GDP among this ranking, and the lowest gross national income (GNI) per capita, Vietnam however justifies the rank by its population size, which is nearly 100 million, including 65 per cent under 30 years old, and the fast rise of the middle class and of its incomes.
While the unemployment rate is low, the minimum wage has augmented of 28.1 per cent from 2008 to 2018, and is expected to continue to increase. The International Trade Administration (ITA) of the US Department of Commerce describes the franchising model as popular and well-suited to a developing country like Vietnam.
According to the ITA, "the culture of entrepreneurship is ideally suited to franchising as it provides investors with a relatively rapid avenue of entering business with controlled levels of investment and at a reduced risk. Rising incomes and an emerging middle class are generating an increase in consumer-driven sectors."
Foreign investors who are eager to invest in Vietnam are now looking for new regulations, hoping for simplified procedures and an easier access to the Vietnamese market.
Streamlining regulations
In January 2019's Resolution 02/NQ-CP, the government reaffirms its determination to continue to annul and simplify the regulations on the business environment and to fully implement the measures for reforming the business environment which were issued in 2018. Among regulations adopted last year, Decree No.08/2018/ND-CP, issued by the government in January 2018, appeared to ease many requirements for franchising. However, there is still confusion regarding the requirement for foreign franchisors to register their activity with the MoIT.
Suggested by the MoIT in its Decision No.3610a/QD-BCT issued in 2017, the simplification of requirements, and in particular the removal of registration obligation for agreements, was expected by many investors. This particular issue was also raised as local franchisors were exempt from registration procedures by 2011's Decree No.120/2011/ND-CP, amending and supplementing administrative procedures in a number of decrees detailing the commercial law.
Decree 08 specifically amended Article 5 of Decree 35 regarding conditions for the franchisor by removing the requirement to register activity as one of the conditions to franchise a business in Vietnam, so that it appeared that the only condition remaining is that the business has been in operation for at least one year. However, it was still ambiguous because Decree 08 did not abolish other provisions of Decree 35, particularly Article 17 regarding registration. It appeared that foreign franchisors are still required to register their franchising activity with the MoIT.
Regarding registration, the latest regulations in order to comply with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) also have direct consequences in regards to trademark licence contracts related to franchises agreements.
Simplifying licensing
The licensing of intellectual property rights (IPRs) in the franchising contract is governed by industrial property law. According to Article 10 of Decree 35, the licensing of such industrial property rights may be established into a separate section in the franchising contract. However, in concern to IPRs related to a franchise agreement, it is usual to establish a separate licence agreement.
In coherence with the current objective of the Vietnamese government to simplify business requirements, and in order to comply with the IP related provisions of the CPTPP, the National Office of Intellectual Property (NOIP) issued Notification No.1926/TB-SHTT in February 2019 which stated that trademark licence agreements are valid without recordal. In other words, trademark licence agreements no longer require to be recorded with the NOIP.
The draft law amending provisions in the IP law, which is scheduled to be presented to the National Assembly this month, includes this modification. Except for trademarks, all other industrial right licence contracts remain effective to third parties only upon registration with the NOIP.
Under the current regulations, IPRs relating to the franchising business should be included in the franchise description document to be provided in advance to the franchisee by the franchisor as part of its disclosure obligation. Particularly, pursuant to Article 8.1 of Decree 35, the franchisor must supply a written introduction of its franchising to the intended franchisee at least 15 working days before signing the contract.
Circular 09 specifies that introduction of commercial franchising shall include the details of brand names, services, and rights to intellectual property objects registered under the laws of Vietnam. Therefore, it may be advisable for foreign investors, prior to franchising their brands, to register their IPRs in the country.
Even though regulations need to be perfected in order to ensure better and easier access to the market, Vietnam offers to investors a rather comprehensive legal framework for franchising, which will likely continue to be further simplified. The economic development of the country, along with the business perspective it carries, are likely to confirm the expansion of the franchise model for foreign and local investors in Vietnam.

Q: Number of bytes to encode a number This might be a beginner Java question but I would like to be able to calculate the number bytes it will require to store a whole number. And to convert that number into a byte array. Its do with some TLV encoding that I am performing. I realise that Java stores everything in twos completement but I am ignoring that, I am just interested in keeping the binary representation.
For example, if you had the number 256 it would take 2 bytes (as 1 byte can store 2^8-1, i think) then I would like to convert that number into a byte array.
Where:
byte[0] = 1111 1111
byte[1] = 0000 0001
Thanks for any help.

A: You can use Math.ceil(Math.log(number) / Math.log(2)) to get number of bits to store your number in binary format. Devide by 8 and you will get bytes to store your number.

A: The binary logarithm (log2) of a number gives you the number of bits needed to display the number. From there it should be easy to get to bytes.

A: Since Java only contains log10, you have to first convert it to log2. Consider the definition of change of base

We can then write Math.ceil(Math.log(256) / Math.log(2)) for the suggested answers... For instance, you would need 9 bits to save 256 or 2 bytes:
    System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(256));
    int numberBits = (int) Math.ceil(Math.log(256) / Math.log(2)) + 1;
    int numberBytes = (int) (Math.ceil(Math.log(256) / Math.log(2)) / 8) + 1;
    System.out.println(numberBits);
    System.out.println(numberBytes);

I was just intrigued in how to get the byte[] of your requirement (to have them in revert order)... I started the implementation of the following test class with a char[]. Then, it came to my mind you could also a BitSet if you need operations over the bit set.

                if (bitArray[i] == '1') {

North Crawley is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority area of the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.   It is located near the border with Bedfordshire, about three and a half miles east of Newport Pagnell.

The village name 'Crawley' is an Old English language word, and means 'clearing frequented by crows'.  In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was referred to as Crauelai.  In manorial records in 1197 the area was split into Great Crawley and Little Crawley.  The prefix 'North' was added sometime before 1398.  Local speculation has it that the prefix was added to distinguish the village from the town of Crawley in West Sussex but supporting historical evidence remains to be found. The hamlet of Little Crawley still exists under that name.

Anciently North Crawley was the location of a monastery dedicated to Saint Firmin.  The monastery was recorded in the Domesday Book, though had fallen into such decay by the Dissolution of the Monasteries that little notice was taken of it, and it fell into ruin shortly afterwards. The Anglican parish church continues to be dedicated to the saint.

The village has many different societies. They range form the Women's Institute to the Historical Society. There is also North Crawley Cricket Club and North Crawley Bowls Club.

There are two public houses in North Crawley. One named The Cock, the other named The Chequers. There also used to be a third pub named The Castle in North Crawley. All of these are mentioned in the song written about North Crawley named Hasten The Day by Jim Lancaster whilst he was in Burma.

No longer can we settle for what's good enough. The Mediocrity Monster is the culmination of habits that keep us complacent with just good enough. In this episode we challenge you to take inventory of where you stand. Enjoy.


The effect of learning alchemical language is to speed the evolution of the dialogue within the spirit-matter continuum. By this means a single adept can affect all dimensions of being.
The effect of learning alchemical language is to speed the evolution of the dialogue within the spirit-matter continuum. By this means a single adept can affect all dimensions of being. There are many beneficial kinds of meditation (neigong) that lead to enlightenment, but most of these do not completely resolve the relationship between awareness (shen) and the challenge of being in a body (jing). This is the central tension of physical life, mirroring the central tension of Heaven-Earth. Enlightenment schools tend to focus on activating a higher level of spirit in the head/upper dan tien. Daoist immortality practices work from the opposite direction, by opening the lower cauldron in the belly and gradually clearing the core channel in the center of the body until it opens up the upper cauldron in the head.
Excessive head-centered meditation can unfortunately lead to the desire to "escape" the difficulties of living in body/matter under the guise of transcending the body. Escapism is caused when the yin (po) and yang (hun) spirits within a human have difficulty communicating. The sexual essence (jing) of the body, however badly corrupted or diseased, is part of the primal matrix of yuan jing.. If one discards the crude physical body without first grasping this jing essence, the illusory act of transcendence (by yang heart shen and liver hun spirits prematurely returning to Heaven) is experienced by the yin spirits of the lungs (po) and kidney orb (zhi) as abandonment or failed love, so they return to Earth. Death is termination of the yin-yang dialog of these spirits within the human form and dissolution of the Yi"s intent (spleen/earth spirit) to continue imagining its human form. Nei dan seeks to prolong this dialog between spirit and body to allow the adept time to reach soul completion. The goal is not permanent physical immortality, just to achieve a life long enough to complete one"s destiny and attain to full realization of the Dao. Most people die at age 75 but are still spiritual children.
One Cloud"s nei dan formulas and teachings do not contain a single reference to reincarnation. Neither am I able to find references to reincarnation in any early daoist texts, although a few of the later schools infuenced by or competing with Buddhism may incorporate it. There is no need for a linear, past life reincarnation theory according to daoist cosmology. The incarnation process is controlled by the collective intelligence of Heaven and Earth, not by human will. Each human vital organ spirit may have its own line of incarnation, and this may account for so-called past life memories. They are actually "other life" impressions occuring in the present moment qi field, which simultaneously holds all past and future life possiblities and ancestral timelines.
In my deep language theory of Daoist cosmology, one never completely transcends the wheel of incarnation. To do so would imply a separation between the three Heavens that does not exist; they are a single continuum of communication. In the metaphor of the Dao as a wheel of life, the still, empty space inside the turning axle is the Supreme Unknown (wuji). The outer rim of the wheel is physical life of Later Heaven. The nei dan adept aspires to gradually shift the focus of his/her identity from outer rim to the center axle of the wheel (Origin) by opening communication through the revolving eight "spokes" or yin-yang forces of Early Heaven. The wheel of physical creation never stops turning, the assemblage point of one"s perceptual focus and experience of physicality simply shifts to the center of the wheel. This is what defines immortality: how close can we shift our human center to resonate with the center of the mind of the Dao? Immortals never truly leave Later Heaven; they embrace the entirety of the physical plane"s turning wheel from within a deeper center of multi-dimensional awareness.
Humans living on the outer rim of the wheel are driven, consciously or not, to fulfill their destiny and complete themselves by opening communication with with their original self in the wheel"s center. This process can be as simple as shifting attention from the surface of one"s skin and smiling into the core of one"s being within the body. All incarnation occurs from the center and moves out towards the rim. Reincarnation does not occur in a linear time line sequence from past life to current life as one moves around the outer rim, the popular Buddhist - Hindu conception of reincarnation or transmigration of souls from animal to human. The pure daoist view I believe is that all lives are the interaction of Earth (outer wheel rim) and Heaven (center wheel), who birth the 10,000. things from their yin-yang pools of jing-qi-shen patterns.
The Seven Formulas of Immortality tackle the difficulty of having a body. This is a core issue common to all humans and to the intelligence hidden or "locked" within all matter. The body and the mind (xin) identification with the body is what makes us feel trapped on the outer wheel of evolution. Nei dan liberates the adept from this illusion by giving us the in depth experience of re-creating our body in each moment as our qi pulses through the three heavens. The adept learns this by mediating the dialog between Heaven and Earth within the microcosm of his/her own body. The nei dan formulas are a map for awakening communication betwen the shen and the most dense levels of body (jing), starting in the lower belly/lower dan tien and moving it progressively up the core channel (chong mo) in the center of the body.
Each formula resonates with a progressively expanded level of the collective intelligence within the body of Nature. The essence of the three primal forces, three treasures, five elements/collective mind and eight trigram forces within the human body -- the Earth, planets, Sun, Pole Star and constellations are interiorized within one"s personal microcosm. The cauldron/dan tien shifts its location and size within the inner space of the adept"s body, depending on what aspect of nature is being communicated with.
To interiorize the vast powers of the outer universe within the adept"s body-mind requires a matching expansion of the adept"s inner space/internal qi field. The formulas guide the adept in opening a dialog between the microcosm and macrocosm, using the eight deep subtle body channels (Eight Extraordinary Vessels) and the principle of resonant rapport between yin and yang within the 5 Phases/Elements. This allows the growing awareness of one"s original, immortal self while still living within a mortal physical body. The adept"s process is to embody the alchemical maxim: "As above, so below; as without, so within". I have found that the depth and elegance of daoist nei dan"s explorations into the spiritual mystery of the body is unparalleled in the world"s esoteric systems. Studying daoist nei dan is like going for a PhD in Mystical Body studies.
Humans can practice internal alchemy only because Nature is an alchemist. Alchemical formulas could not express Nature"s deep intelligence unless Nature itself embodied an alchemical process. Nature divides itself into three levels, Original, Early and Later Heavens. Like an ever repeating fractal, the third heaven holds within its microcosm the three treasures of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, and Humanity holds within itself the three treasures of jing, qi, and shen. These dimensional divisions in nature reflect the universal process of alchemy: separate into three, refine, then reunite into one purified whole. Why does the Dao create this alchemical process? One can only speculate: alchemy allows it to grasp and refine its own essence, to transform itself endlessly as it shapes and re-shapes the original qi field.

When His Therapy Feels Like It's Re-Victimizing You

When His Therapy Feels Like It's Re-Victimizing You
The partners of sex and porn addicts do not always have an easy road ahead of them. Often, an unevenness can begin to develop almost immediately where "his progress," "his work," or "his addiction," can begin to take precedence over your own recovery. This is especially true if the betrayed partner has not also sought help. While external factors such as financial concerns, availability, child care, and career might get in the way of many women finding a safe space to talk to a professional, she should really receive the same priority as her partner's therapy. Perhaps it is because we, as a society, see anyone suffering from an addiction as dealing with an emergency situation – and in many ways they are – that the needs, wants, desires, and requests of the addict begin to supersede their partner's experience. But it is important that we take a step back here and remember that the partner of an addict has just been through a tremendous trauma. Her world has been rocked. Everything she thought she could trust in her relationship, in her home, has become twisted. She feels lied to, hurt, forgotten, and tremendously betrayed. These feelings are valid. These feelings deserve attention. Sweeping them under the rug, or making them secondary to her addicted partner's personal recovery is only serving to silence, erase, and re-victimize women who have very recently had the shock of their lives. It is, unequivocally, the wrong approach.
If You Feel Like You're Being Ignored – You're Right
When you find out that your husband or partner has been unfaithful to you, or has developed a porn watching habit that has kept him emotionally and physically distant from you, it is easy to understand why you would feel ignored in a grievous way. It's so important to work through these feelings with someone who can give you the space and time you deserve to examine these very complicated feelings. Many sex and porn addiction recovery programs are structured around men. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as any addict has quite a bit of work ahead of them. Making sure that they get through it safely and honestly is absolutely vital. But women need to be heard too. If you are in a situation where your partner is receiving counseling, but you are not, you may begin to feel pressure to "try harder," "be more open," "be less neurotic," or to generally be more pleasant to help with his recovery, while you yourself struggle in silence. In other words, you might feel pressured to lie about how upset you are for the sake of his recovery. This is not healing. Yes, you have things you need to work on as well, but forcing you through certain aspects of your own recovery simply to aid in his, is an approach that's doomed to fail. If you feel like this is happening to you, it is time to begin seeking help for yourself.
I Believe You
Here is an unpleasant fact about addiction: it warps people. An addiction is like a malevolent presence that takes over the person you once knew. It causes them to lie, to sugarcoat, to avoid, and to redirect blame. And unfortunately, the day your partner walks through the door for their first counseling session, those habits do not necessarily evaporate on site. This is why addiction recovery is so often referred to as a journey. There will be setbacks, there will be trial and error, there may be relapses or false starts; and nobody will see these things more clearly than the addict's partner. So, when women come to me and say that their partner has not stopped his destructive behavior, or that he is lying, or that he is not as committed to his recovery as he makes himself out to be, I believe them. As a society, we seem preprogrammed to dismiss the observations or complaints of women simply because they are women. That attitude simply cannot be allowed to carry over into a therapeutic setting, because it won't get us anywhere. One of my first jobs is to validate, to support, and to listen.
Emotional Labor Is Real
Yes, relationships are nuanced, layered, and complex. It takes a lot of time to unravel a relationship, and take a close look at what went wrong, and where. Nobody is 100% wrong all the time. Both partners have work they need to do in relationship counseling; some of it very hard work. The problem arises when he is doing his work with a professional, and she is trying to do her work on her own. Ideally, both partners should have their own therapists, who are in turn working with one another behind the scenes to keep communications open. If one person is receiving professional help while the other isn't, that situation can quickly degrade into complaints of "she's not getting over it fast enough." This is where the concept of emotional labor comes in. Women who have been betrayed by an addict partner are still expected to get up and go to work, pack the kids' lunches, attend that important board meeting, keep up social relationships with friends and neighbors, and volunteer on the neighborhood committee. The addict seeking help on the other hand, is often given tacit permission to ignore many of his other responsibilities in the spirit of focusing solely on his recovery. Yes, his recovery is extremely important, not only for himself, but for the overall health of the relationship. But why does the partner who did the betraying seem to be the one with the "get out of jail free" card? This is what is meant by emotional labor. It is up to you to mentally juggle grocery lists, permission slips, doctor appointments, chores, sports schedules, career goals… and to (seemingly) single-handedly repair a recently shattered relationship. Yes, you have just had a horrible shock, but society is not at all prepared to let you off the hook for a single thing. This is why the partners of addicts are so very much in need of counseling. This is simply too much to handle on one's own.
It's Time to Move Forward
If you are in a situation where you are being made to feel over and over again that you are not working hard enough, that your partner's addiction is somehow your fault, or that the relationship would be back to normal by now if only you would hurry up and get over an earth shattering betrayal, you need help too. You need to seek out counseling that puts equal emphasis on the recoveries of both partners. Because anyone if your life who tells you that you are not also recovering from something clearly doesn't understand what you are being asked to do. You deserve help just as your partner does.

We just saw this news that Burton Group has been making good progress with its IT1 offer. Back in May we said that Current Analysis and Burton were two analyst firms that were well placed to withstand any future recession. It now expects a majority of its clients to adopt IT1, which gives clients enterprise-wide access to all of Burton's research.
IT1 give clients much better value, at no extra cost to Burton. While Burton's earlier services gave clients siloed access to research, IT1 gives clients full access across Burton's research areas. Although this may cost Burton some lost revenue from firms that might have otherwise have bought more than one of its services, it should improve client retention and make the firm better placed to survive the difficult times ahead.
That's important for analyst relations professionals, because Burton's one of the firms with the largest share of its clients being end-users. The firms says that Burton Group's client base is comprised of 85% percent enterprise IT end-user organizations. Its clients are primarily in aerospace, automotive, financial services, education, energy, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and retail.

Andreas Beroutsos named Caisse's EVP for global PE and infrastructure
The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has appointed a new executive vice president, private equity and infrastructure. Andreas Beroutsos, who previously has served at One Point Capital, Navigos Capital and Eton Park Capital Management, will oversee the Caisse's private equity activity outside Québec. It was also announced that an executive vice president position has been created for Québec-based private equity activity. Luc Houle, who has served as senior vice president, private equity, and has been with the Caisse for more than 30 years, has assumed this role until a recruitment process is completed.
La Caisse takes a new step in the deployment of its investment strategy
Appointment of an Executive Vice-President, Private Equity and Infrastructure and creation of an Executive Vice-President, Québec position
MONTRÉAL, May 5, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ – La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has taken a new step in the deployment of its investment strategy, announcing changes to its structure. The appointment of an Executive Vice-President, Private Equity and Infrastructure and the creation of an Executive Vice-President position dedicated exclusively to Québec are consistent with the work carried out these past few years to strengthen La Caisse's position in global markets and to maximize its impact in Québec.
"With these changes, we will be even better equipped to reach our goals here in Québec and in the world's most promising markets," said Michael Sabia, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This new structure allows us to mobilize our teams based on two well-defined mandates and, more generally, to continue to enhance La Caisse's standard of performance and depth of expertise."
Executive Vice-President, Private Equity and Infrastructure
Given the changes currently underway in the global economy, growth will be coming from varied sectors and diverse markets over the next few years. To identify the best private equity and infrastructure investment opportunities in the world, La Caisse must go even further in developing leading-edge expertise in order to make direct investments and develop solid partnerships around the world. To this end, it must be able to rely on high-level, talented individuals with access to extensive international business networks.
After a rigorous, global recruitment process, Andreas Beroutsos has been appointed Executive Vice-President, Private Equity and Infrastructure. In this role, he will oversee all private equity investment activities conducted outside Québec. Mr. Beroutsos was Director and Senior Partner and member of the Firmwide Senior Partner election committee at McKinsey & Company, the management consulting firm, where he established and managed the global private equity practice. After 20 years with this firm, Mr. Beroutsos became Partner and Senior Managing Director at Eton Park Capital Management. Until recently, he was Partner and Managing Director at One Point Capital and Managing Partner at Navigos Capital, in New York. He was the founder of both firms. Mr. Beroutsos studied at Harvard University and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. He speaks five languages: Greek, French, English, Italian and Spanish. He joins La Caisse today and is based in Montréal.
Executive Vice-President, Québec
Since 2009, La Caisse has substantially increased its assets in Québec, particularly in the private sector. Today, given La Caisse's increased presence and its commitment to play a leading role with Québec companies throughout the province, it was a logical decision to create the position of Executive Vice-President, Québec. This new Executive Vice-President will be in charge of managing La Caisse's Québec-based private equity investment portfolio and, more generally, playing a leadership role in the integrated coordination and planning of all of La Caisse's activities in Québec. The Executive Vice-President, Québec will play an advisory role with all internal teams and will be charged with looking for the best business opportunities throughout the province.
Luc Houle, who has served as Senior Vice-President, Private Equity and who has been with La Caisse for more than 30 years, has agreed to be the Interim Executive Vice-President, Québec until the recruitment process has been finalized. Over the years, Mr. Houle has been instrumental in a large number of La Caisse's major transactions in Québec and has successfully led the Medium-sized Companies and Large Companies and Venture Capital teams. He has vast experience on the ground, working with entrepreneurs, and is highly respected in the Québec business community. In addition to his investment role, Mr. Houle serves on the boards of directors of several companies.
Mr. Beroutsos and Mr. Houle will sit on La Caisse's Executive Committee.
The process to recruit the Executive Vice-President, Québec, will be finalized over the next two to three months.
These changements follow Normand Provost's announcement last August of his intention to retire. "On my behalf and on behalf of all my colleagues at La Caisse, I would once again like to thank Normand Provost for his dedication, accomplishments and immense contribution to the success of La Caisse throughout his exceptional career," said Michael Sabia.
ABOUT LA CAISSE DE DÉPÔT ET PLACEMENT DU QUÉBEC

As at December 31, 2013, it held $200.1 billion in net assets. As one of Canada's leading institutional fund managers, La Caisse invests in major financial markets, private equity, infrastructure and real estate, globally. For more information: www.lacaisse.com.

Ethiopia Pledges to Increase Women Participation in UN Peace Keeping Mission
The government of Ethiopia has pledged to increase the participation women in UN peace keeping in line with secretary general's initiatives on ''Action for Peace (A4P) on Women, Peace, and Security.
The Embassies of Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, Turkiye, and Australia have jointly held a seminar on Tuesday in Addis Ababa on International Day of UN Peacekeepers 2022, under the theme: "Women in Peacekeeping: A Key to Peace".
Speaking at the event, Director General for International Organization, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia Ayele Lire said Ethiopia recognizes the indispensable role of women in UN peace keeping and supports the efforts toward increasing their participation in peace keeping operation.
It is undeniable that more women in peace keeping means more efficiency in the peace keeping operations, he said, adding that increasing the number of civilian and uniform women in peace keeping at all levels and in key positions is very important for the success of any peace keeping mission.
"In this regard the Ethiopian government has pledged to increase women participation in the UN peace keeping in line with Secretary General's initiatives on ''Action For Peace (A4P) on Women, Peace, and Security'. Towards meeting this commitment, currently close to 12 percent of women peace keepers are serving in Ethiopian peace keeping contingent," he said.
He noted that in every country woman who constitutes half of the societies have vital contributions in every achievement of the society.
There is no doubt that women peace keepers play a key role for success of any peace keeping mission despite the domain is still predominantly occupied at each level by men, the Director General stated.
"We are indeed proud of being leading contributors of female peace keepers to the UN peace keeping missions. We continue enhancing the participation of our women in the military, police, and civilian components of the UN peace keeping."
Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Ethiopia, Djibouti, and African Union, Al Busyra Basnur on his part said it should be acknowledged that the UN peace keeping mission become not only a flagship, but also a critical tools that has been playing pivotal role in maintaining international peace and security.
Since first established in 1948, UN peace keeping missions have deployed more than one million personnel women and men that served in 72 UN peace keeping missions.
This annual commemoration is indeed to pay tribute to the global of uniform and civilian personnel including more than 400 peace keepers who have sacrifice their life in their global duty, the ambassador pointed out.
It shall also be recognized that women have become increasingly needed, part of the peace keeping family, making operation more effective, he said.
"As mainstreaming women participation become an important national agenda, Indonesia is also committed to enhancing the participation of female personnel in UN peace keeping missions as well as promoting the role of women as agent of peace."
Indonesia is currently participating in six UN peace keeping mission in Africa which total number of over 1400 including 74 female personnel.
As member of the international community, MIKTA countries are also always committed to contributing to the world peace and security including through participation in UN peace keeping mission, ambassador Basnur added.
Ethiopia's peace keeping contribution to the UN mission dates back to 1950 when Ethiopian contingent deployed to Korea.
Since then Ethiopia has participated in 11 peace keeping mission in Kongo, Rwanda, Burundi, Liberia Côte d'Ivoire and recently in Darfur and Abiye. Currently Ethiopian peace keeping contingents are serving in South Sudan and Somalia.
Ethiopian peace keeping contingents have earned recognition not only from the UN, but also from the societies they served during their missions for their diligent discipline and humanity oriented services even in the difficult situations.

Children with Autism & Video Games – Research Study
Category : Blog , Video Games
Children with Autism & Video Games
This article shared by The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association involves a study which "…looked at parents' attitudes regarding engagement with video games by their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
The Study's Purpose & Findings
The study was conducted to determine if parental attitudes vary based on ASD symptom severity.
The study found no significant differences in the time, intensity, or types of games played based on severity of ASD symptoms (mild vs. moderate).
Parents of children with ASD expressed favorable attitudes about video game play, indicating that it was a positive experience for their children with ASD, particularly if the parent believed that the games were having a positive impact on his or her child's development.
Furthermore, parents of children with ASD generally believed that positive behavioral outcomes were associated with video gaming in areas such as social skills, fine motor skills, language skills, reading and writing, and critical thinking. These beliefs were significantly related to the development of positive attitudes toward the use of video games. Further, parental support and positive perception of engagement with video games did not vary substantially based on the severity of their child's ASD symptoms, whether their child was reported to experience mild or moderate forms of ASD. These findings appear to indicate that parents would be supportive of the use of video games in educational and therapeutic contexts."
Overall the key factor was reported to be 'positive impact'. So, if your child appears to experience a "negative impact" from playing video games, limit play time & find positive alternatives.
Children's Communication Center is able to work with you and your child with autism, with both low and high tech SLP tools, including video games.
As with all activities, monitor your child. Also remember, if a child lacks the skills for success, his behavior may be due to frustration with the game playing.

Robotic surgery makes strides
By Larry Nath / December 18, 2020
By SARAH PIERCE – Robotic surgery will have you going nuts and bolts! The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world and impacted multiple layers of our society.
You never know when a family member, a friend, or yourself might be sent to the hospital. This is something important to know about because you could need surgery and this is what the surgeon could be using on you or a loved one. It is especially important to be informed about these procedures because of the pandemic.
All frontline workers, and in particular those in direct contact with patients, have been exposed to major risk. In order to keep frontline workers and patients safe, many have stepped up and found ways to assure safety during procedures.
Senior Chloe Kocinski stated, "I think that robotic surgery has helped during the pandemic because it is able to limit patient/surgeon contact. Non essential surgeries could be done via robotic surgery to allow people to have them with less risk. I think robotic surgeries have both ups and downs for patients and healthcare workers, but in our world now, it seems to be helping avoid contact between patients and healthcare workers. Another option if we didn't have this would be cancelling all elective surgeries and patients having to pass a covid test before getting the surgery."
Robotic surgery has become a very important aspect in hospitals during the pandemic. Robotic surgery was initially designed to permit a surgical procedure while being a safe distance from the patient and not touching the patient.
Senior Lilly Nath stated, "Robotic surgery has helped patients and frontline workers immensely during the pandemic. It provides a safer way to have procedures done and requires less attention so workers can focus on more serious cases."
These machines have been being used not only just in the United States, but right here in Indiana.
Senior Sarah Love stated, "Since robotic surgery doesn't have as much contact with patients as normal surgery does it has helped through the pandemic with knowing patients will be safe since there is minimal contact. I think it is good for both workers and patients because it is more precise with details in surgery which have a great outcome for both the surgeon who performed the operation and the patient. If we didn't have this type of operation I think another outlook would be to see how they can have less contact with both the team in the room and the patient with extra safety measures compared to a normal operation."
There is an article on the IRMC website about how this machine works and why it is such a big step forward in technology and helping people especially during the outbreak. Surgeons are still controlling the robot and are just distanced from the patient.
