What Should Savvy Companies Look for When Interviewing a Candidate?
Identification of these common competencies then led Mobil to develop competency-based interviewing, which was a radically different interview process and approach used up until that point. The competency-based interviewer was trained how to ask specific questions to help an interviewee unfold stories, so the interviewer could identify as many competencies practiced by the candidate in his/her past. In the case of personal competencies, past performance was an assumed indicator of future performance.
When 20 summer interns were asked to be willing interviewees to help a group of trainees certify in this new interviewing process, the results were surprising. These college students were only told that they were interviewing for factitious jobs and had nothing to gain or lose by participating. Each intern was separately interviewed by 3-4 interviewers. The interviewers then ranked each intern for competencies and compared notes. The results? Most interviewers found the same number of competencies for each interviewee. What was unexpected? The interviewers identified a handful of candidates that Mobil would have clearly offered a job based on the criteria of the past such as sociability, confident manner, physical appeal, participation on team sports, and academic performance, and yet, these same candidates had no competencies.
What does this mean for those companies who want to hire the best employees? Every candidate should be screened for the basic knowledge that cannot be taught on the job. Certain jobs need specific technical skills such as a design engineer or lawyer. However, for many jobs, companies would likely be more satisfied in their employee selection, if they emphasized competencies in the hiring process. Most technical knowledge can be taught on the job, as opposed to personal competencies, which can only be influenced and may take more time than an employer can afford to invest. Rare is the candidate that has all the above competencies, so an interviewer should have a clear understanding of which competencies are most important for the job.
Competencies are found in both young and older adults, because they typically manifest from core values or personal characteristics of the individual. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find personal competencies across all or several dimensions of a person's life. Since my competency-based interview training, I have always focused on hiring for competencies over a pedigree, and I have been pleased that my batting average has been higher than most.
Dr. Travis Bradberry published the article The 11 Things Smart People Won't Say (2015), where he listed and described why smart people refrain from using certain phrases in the workplace, because these words diminish others' perception of them. Unfortunately, many employees may not be aware of the negative impact of these sentences or whether they are using them in conversation around the office. For those who may have overlooked this article, I list those words that can undermine the most knowledgeable, talented, and productive employees who use them.
This is the way it's always been done.
I think …/This may be a silly idea …/I'm going to ask a stupid question.
That's not in my job description.
Some of these phrases are obvious in their abrasiveness; whereas, others are subtle. A response of "No problem," as opposed to a kindly "You're welcome," or "My pleasure," commonly heard from a Chick-Fil-A associate, can be more of an annoyance than a negative message. In my opinion, this list of "do-nots" are not what smart people practice but what emotionally intelligent people embrace, as I know several Mensa candidates with low emotional intelligence who continually choose from this list. Emotionally steady and astute employees carefully choose their words. Dr. Bradberry's article begs the question, "What are the 11 things emotionally intellegient employees say at work?" What words do they use that promote creative thinking, problem-solving, accountability, and team-building?
Below would be my suggested words to frame conversation that builds a positive perception of your attitude and behaviors and empowers the organization.
How could we have changed the outcome?
What new way can we try?
When can I get [insert number] uninterrupted minutes of your time?
How can we make him/her more successful?
Where do your word choices land on the continuum of powerfully engaging to poorly enacted? Many factors, including stress and cultural influence, dictated where we are on this continuum in any moment. When stress is high, the filter between thoughts and words is usually thin. Stress does not absolve us of the responsibility to choose words wisely, and awareness of the powerful effect of certain words is the first step towards better choices that will show your personal best.
Do you feel less joy these days? Does it feel like everyone else owns a piece of you and there is nothing left? Do you dream to have 15 minutes of uninterrupted time so you can reconnect with yourself? Is your life a harried record of accomplishments and yet never-ending to-do lists? Would your personal profile be listed in the dictionary under the word "busyness"? You may sadly chuckle and infer these questions are tongue-in-cheek, but the reality is that an answer of "yes" to any of these questions is a sobering reminder of how stressed and anxiety-ridden many are as they run, not walk, on the treadmill of American life. Unfortunately, the solution is not as easy as advertised by the late 1980's commercial "Calgon, take me away!" in which a woman, surrounded by a chaotic home, says these four words and is then transported to a relaxing bath in a quiet room. If only the solution could be solved so simply by the purchase of a few bath products and an evening spent soaking in the tub.
The solution is within your power to implement. Personal boundaries! They are the critical component in designing the life you want. "Boundaries provide the structure to your character that will make everything else work" (Cloud, 2008). Boundaries affect how we relate to others, how we feel emotionally, and how we perform at work. When you understand the impact of boundaries and choose to define them for your life, you will reconnect with your identity, find more joy, and create a healthier and more satisfying life. The necessity of personal boundaries has emerged as a counter force to the crisis that has developed from an increasingly structureless society that values the integration of work-life, despite the rhetoric that we need to have more of a work-life balance. American culture and work have eroded the time and space boundaries we need to focus on the priorities we value most.
So how did we get to this place of exhaustion and dissatisfaction? Work structure has changed from the typical 9 to 5 hours of operation to one in which we are to be available 24-7, where working in the evenings is just an extension of the normal work day. Work has penetrated our home space by either design or creep. Bortolot (2015) states that the home office is now one of the most important residential amenities. Even if one can physically separate his work environment within the home, he may not be able to mentally escape work.
How many of you have tried to relax in the evening, only to feel the nag of work penetrating your thoughts? Do you compromise by opening up your laptop while watching your favorite TV sitcom? Although society praises the multi-tasker, they are usually pulled in so many directions, they struggle to enjoy anything other than the satisfaction that comes from crossing off more items on their to-do list. Keim (2012) showed that high multi-taskers performed poorly at filtering irrelevant from relevant information, had diminished ability to mentally organize, and experienced difficulty in switching between tasks. Keim (2012) concluded if you do two things simultaneously, you will not do any of them at full capacity.
Although our lives have all benefited from technology, the tragedy is that it has also enabled the violation of our time and space boundaries. Personal cell phones allow access to you at all times. iPhones and computers give instant access to data and connectivity to work. Email has expanded our network so strangers can now reach into our personal world. Although email was initially described as a productivity enhancement, anyone with an email address is now accessible at any time by any one. Email and voicemail can be blessings, but without personal boundaries, you may feel email is a curse because of the pressure to respond to communication, even if unsolicited. By definition most people are losing control over their most precious resource—their time. Money can be earned, won, spent and lost, but time is a finite resource.
Boundaries help us define who we are and form a structure in our lives that allows us to regain control (Cloud, 2008). Boundaries protect your time, space, and relationships so that you can positively influence your world. Our society does not naturally provide the support that helps us to create and live out healthy boundaries. Cloud (2008) asserts that "the irony is that most people are so caught up in trying to control the things they cannot control—other people, circumstances, or outcomes—that in the process they lose control of themselves" (p. 21). The only thing you can control is yourself, so consider the decision to take control of you.
How do I reclaim my life?
A boundary is a demarcation of where you end and where someone or something else begins. Boundaries define ownership and who controls what does and does not go on in that space. More importantly boundaries define who is responsible for and accountable to protect that space.
Boundaries provide the structure that helps to define our character and personality, because they describe who we are, what we want, and how we feel and think. Clear boundaries provide security and benefit self and others, because they are not ambiguous, are predictable, and signal what we will and will not tolerate. They help to contain chaos, because one who is clear on boundaries will step in to make sure chaos is effectively dealt with.
Boundaries differentiate us from others and teach us how we are unique individuals in feelings, attitudes, behaviors, limits, thoughts, and choices. What are the things that you value most in life? How would you ideally want to live your life? What do you want to make a priority? What are your vision, mission, and goals?
Rebuilding boundaries is about reclaiming your power. Power drains have numerous sources as described by Cloud (2008): need for security, need for approval, need to be perfect, need to have others see you as ideal, need to over-identify with other people's problems, need to rescue, fear of being alone, fear of conflict, need for harmony, fear of differing opinions, fear of anger, fear of feeling inferior, fear of someone's power, inability to say no, inability to hear no or accept limits, inability to tolerate failure of others, hero worship, lack of internal structure, and dependency to name a few. You should identify the holes in your boundaries and address them.
Set limits consistent with your vision, mission, values, and goals and communicate them to others. You empower others by allowing them to decide and live with the consequences defined by your boundaries. By default, you will no longer try to control others' decisions and actions, because you can live with the outcome of whatever decision they make. Communicating and living within your boundaries is a form of respecting others and also provides a healthy model for them to emulate.
Live each day in accordance with your boundaries. When you are in control of your boundaries, you become a more integrated person, gain greater respect for yourself, and become more respectful of other people's boundaries. Boundaries allow you to influence others' behaviors toward you, which by default makes you feel whole and more in control.
What is the cost of boundaries?
Having boundaries comes comes with a personal cost. In order to have full control, you need to have the freedom to control those aspects of your life where you have boundaries. You can only leverage them if you are not dependent on any single person or entity for survival, because the one to whom you are dependent may decide to invoke their boundaries and put you in an untenable position. As you work on defining your personal boundaries and areas of weakness, you should also take inventory of your life to understand where you have weak capital.
Has poor financial stewardship put you in a position where you could not weather a job lose for several months should you decide to invoke your boundaries? Would a work dismissal cause you undue hardship? If so, you may need to save for an emergency fund to build that capital. What about the young adult, still living rent-free with his parents, who does not like his imposed curfew? He is not free to come and go as he pleases as a fully functioning adult, because he may be asked to pack up his belongings and move out. His first step should be to build his financial capital so he can either re-negotiate rent for more freedom or secure other living arrangements. Before invoking boundaries, you must end any dependency and be able to live with the boundaries that any other individual may choose to impose on you.
CAUTION: Establishing boundaries for the first time may come with some emotionally charged responses from others in your life. You may likely find that those people who have boundaries respect you more, and those people who do not live with boundaries will resort to behaviors that will test the strength of yours.
A life coach can help you determine what is most important to you, design the life you want, and develop a specific action plan to close the gap between where you stand today and where you want to go.

About the Author: Sandra Dillon is a life, premarital/marriage, and business coach with an extensive background in business development and leadership. She coaches others in how to develop and execute life plans, develop successful businesses, and build better relationships by identifying and living their personal values, enhancing skills and competencies, and being held accountable for executing their defined goals.
What is the Shape of Your Wheel of Life?
When people engage a life coach, some already have a clear understanding of what they want to be coached on; whereas, others need some help on where they should start. For those who need help, a common initial exercise is the Wheel of Life, where clients rate between 1 and 10 how satisfied they are with each dimension of their lives. These dimensions can include career, finances, health, social, family, romance/marriage, recreation, community, personal growth, spirituality, and more. When the dots are connected, the circle becomes a bit lopsided, and a picture starts to emerge. What areas are more deflated than the others? Should we begin there?
Although the assessment may point out weak areas, the client always has the choice in where the coaching relationship begins and ends. Regardless of where a client chooses to start, the assessment provides the stimulus for rich discussion in what a client may be struggling and how other life areas may be impacting the lowest scores. Is family life affecting your health? Are problems with your marriage manifesting themselves in your work performance or vice versa? You and your coach can explore your Wheel of Life and then you can decide where you want to go from there.
Many people ask, "What is life coaching?" In the simplest terms, "Getting results!" A coach's role is to help you assess what is going well in your life, decide what you want to change, and hold you accountable in achieving your defined goals. Financial well-being, relationships, work, parenting, spirituality, and marriage health are examples of life areas you may desire change. Everyone can benefit from a life coach, who can provide the needed structure, space, and time to figure out a life vision, direction, and goals to move toward that vision. A coach will also challenge your preconceived assumptions and help you navigate around roadblocks. A coach can make a difference in your thinking, beliefs, decisions, actions and ultimately your whole life.
I'm a freshman in college with an undecided major and need to decide on my major and career direction.
What do these situations all have in common? Each person is struggling with a difficult situation or decision. A life coach can help one navigate through the decision-making and goal-setting process that results in greater empowerment and success.
In addition to the time spent in session, coaches typically provide written exercises, document action plans, and follow-up with their clients between sessions. Coaching can be done over the phone, via Skype, and face-to-face. Coaching is for anyone who strives to be a better version of themselves in any area of life, and successful coaching is measured solely by the client achieving results. Everyone can benefit from having a coach, so let us further the conversation and find out how I may help you.
Work Life: Where Are The Investment Dollars Going?
About 10 years ago, I first heard a vision for the future factory which required only two employees: a man and a dog. When my boss first shared this vision tongue-in-cheek, I thought it was absurd, but perhaps this vision is not as far-fetched than I first thought. Why? Because Korn Ferry (2016) has exposed the blind spot of most CEOs who value technology over human capital despite the overwhelming evidence that human capital creates the most value in organizations. Shockingly, almost half of the leaders in large global businesses believe that the predominance of automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics will make employees "largely irrelevant" in future work (Korn Ferry, 2016). Korn Ferry (2016) also found that CEOs did not even rank human capital/employees in the top five most valuable assets now or in the next five years. Korn Ferry (2017) asked CEOs what they thought today's candidates were looking for in an employer. They believe company culture is what attracts talent, but in five years, these same CEOs believe flexible working (remote, cloud offices, flex time) will move from its sixth-place position to overtake company culture. Can there be a connection between a company's drive for technology and its difficulty in finding and meeting the demands of the right talent? Does one cause changes in the other or are both shaping each other?
As a coach and consultant, the emphasis that CEOs and their companies' Board of Directors are putting on technology at the expense of human capital makes me question their leadership decisions. If CEOs continue with a technology-obsessed worldview that employees are bottom-line costs and not top-line value generators (Korn Ferry, 2017), they will continue to drive on technology as a means of replacing employees. How far could that go? No one will know until we get there. Technology is and will continue to be a core focus of the collective vision in the highest performing organizations (Korn Ferry, 2017). Although technology has replaced manual labor with automation to gain processing efficiencies, today, technology is shaking the foundation of the shared belief that work provides human dignity and that humans were designed for work.
What is my forecast for the future? Although history has shown humans adapt to their environment, an extreme condition may result in push back. I believe there will be a softening on the drive for technology in certain life areas, and the question becomes which companies will respond. Technology is here, forever, and will continue to strengthen, but as been historically true there are cycles and coming of full circles. Humans were built for connection, and we move back and forth along a continuum of connectedness with one another throughout our lives. Over the last several decades, technology has widened our connectedness at the expense of its depth. You may not remember the names of your neighbors two doors down, but you have thousands of Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections. I believe there comes a point in a person's life when s/he says, "this isn't working for me anymore." When they finally ask themselves that question, I believe they will put technology in its proper place and structure their lives with more personal connection. They will demand more services where they interact with people and not technology. They will choose employers who value human capital and who tap into their employees' creativity. When this will occur? Your guess would be as good as mine. In our capitalist society, a need does not go unfulfilled for long. I would expect small and medium sized businesses to flourish as they hire employees to directly service their customers.
What I do know is that people are personally struggling in this new era of technology. They are trying to find purpose and fulfillment not just in their work but also personal lives. Many feel they are on a treadmill, expending energy, but not going anywhere. Many do not have a vision or have articulated a dream for their lives. I do believe personal coaches will play an integral part in the work and personal landscape of people who have a desire for something more.

Kissimmee woman arrested in murder of her mother
Christopher Koulouris: About author bio at bottom of article.
Natalie Marie Gonzalez Florida woman arrested for the murder of her Kissimmee mother.
Natalie Marie Gonzalez Florida woman arrested for the murder of her mother. Neighbors describe her holding hammer and scissors.
Florida authorities arrested a 32-year-old woman Sunday in connection with the death of her mother.
Natalie Marie Gonzalez was charged with first-degree murder following the 'homicide death' of her mother on Saturday at a home in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
At the time of the mother's death, Gonzalez was seen leaving the victim's Windy Dune Court home with a weapon in her hand. Deputies who had been called to the residence ordered Gonzalez to drop the weapon as she exited the home FOX35 reported.
The woman's arrest which was witnessed by locals included a next door neighbor saying Gonzalez exited the crime scene with a hammer and scissors in her hands and initially refusing to put the items down despite repeated deputy demands. Upon relinquishing the items, the woman then ran up and down in front of neighbors' homes.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Gonzalez, and the sheriff's office had not released an arrest affidavit. The name of the victim or a murder motive had yet to be released.
'Extremely agitated'
A long time Windy Dune Court resident, Luis Lara said he had never seen nothing like this on their street before.
'Surprise, surprise. I never see nothing here. It's a very quiet area,' Lara told WKMG.
Lara said deputies were at the home all day.
'I see police putting yellow tape around,' he said.
Deputies declined to release any information as to what had happened.
Gonzalez was scheduled to make a first appearance on Sunday but she didn't because she was very agitated according to WKMG. Her defense said that she was 'extremely agitated' that morning and correctional officers had to use a Taser on her. Gonzalez's first appearance was rescheduled for Monday.

October is almost over, and we are in the final quarter of the year. I thought this would be a good time to update since my last reflection over the summer.
Sally Sussman has done a great job restoring character-driven drama to Genoa City and revitalizing characters such as Cane and Victoria. However, the show's pace is a bit slow for today's standards and they still need to develop the younger set. If the show were 30 minutes, it would probably be more enjoyable, but at 60 it feels long. Mal Young's material will start airing soon. I have not heard any intel, so it will be interesting to see how the change in headwriters impacts the show.
While still generally entertaining, the storylines this year are not as strong as they were in recent years. The show was so much fun last year, and that has been somewhat lost. The show moves at a relatively quick pace, which is good news when we don't like a particular storyline. Given the speed with which it moves, the show may be in an entirely different place by the end of the year.
Admittedly, I no longer watch GH. I do read the updates, and they have not enticed me to resume viewership. I catch an episode every now and then. Suffice is to say that GH is not my cup of tea.
Now that Ron Carlivati's stories have been airing for three months, I think it is safe to say that he is a great fit for Days. He has revitalized the show and entertained audiences with a great mix of humor, romance, and suspense. Most notably, he has provided strong material for many of the show's actors, such as Deidre Hall, Judi Evans, Bryan Datillo, and countless others. Additionally, he has brought on numerous high-profile names including Ali Sweeney and Chandler Massey. Over the coming months, we are looking forward to more exciting returns. Ron and his team have brought the fun back to daytime.
I generally agree with all of this. A couple of months ago, I got so far behind on B&B that I stopped feeling it was worthwhile to catch up, but I do miss it. I've also enjoyed what Y&R I've seen this year very much, but again, it's just a matter of not finding the time to watch regularly. I'm certainly enjoying DAYS more than I have in a few years now, and really looking forward to the coming months.
My rankings are the exact same as robbalto's.
I finally have given up on GH, which is painful as there are only 4 shows left. I particularly hate how they have made Alexis a complete and total love addict towards her abusive ex-husband Julian, continue to whitewash Sonny, the borg – Jason "Morgan" is back, which indicates a willingness to go back to being 'The Sonny and Jason show' yet again (ugh!)… the only story I like is Ava's romance with Griffin, but ti's not enough to have to put up with so many thoroughly unlikeable characters foisted on us. #4.


Often the best way for arthritis patients to get relief is to keep their joints and muscles active.
Exercises like cycling, swimming and certain sports can improve joint and muscle health and reduce pain. However, a lot of arthritis sufferers get trapped in a vicious circle where the pain of their condition makes exercise difficult. Others don't have the time or simply lack the inclination to engage in regular exercise.The purpose with the direct method is to improve the flexibility in the joints and strengthen the muscles surrounding the joints, creating better muscle support for the joints.
If you fall in these groups, it is important to get the most benefit you can out of day-to-day activity instead. MEDICOVI insoles can be a huge help. Water Wave Therapy – which you only get from MEDICOVI – provides fast-acting pain relief and adaptive support for many major muscles and joints. This helps promote joint and muscle health and increases comfort. This, in turn, makes it easier for you to stay more active, further helping you to develop healthy muscles and joints.

After protracted speculation and negotiations, and what seemed like a thousand requests from cities all over, the 2009 North American Handmade Bicycle Show has decided on a venue for 2009 in what will be its fifth year of operation. The venue for the '09 show will remain a closely-kept secret until the awards ceremony in the show hall at 3 p.m. Sunday 10th February.
The flourishing handmade bicycles show features 156 exhibitors from three continents. It is accepted as the place to meet the builders of the world's most beautiful bikes, and with its series of seminars and expert panels is the foremost information exchange in the handmade cycling industry. The nature of the meetings is not only between customers and builders, but also a place for builders to meet builders, and component and accessory manufacturers meet builders.
"The industry needed a place for everybody to gather and talk about hand made bicycles from their particular perspective, that's really what it's all about. Now it's gotten popular, we have to keep moving because it's only fair to bring the show to within a day's drive of each of the major cycling centers around the nation. Of course this makes a lot more work for me, the guy who has to make all the arrangements, but I'm interested in providing the best service that I can to all concerned with the show. I may not be Hemingway, but I still think of the show as a moveable feast," says show director, Don Walker.
The venue for the '09 show will be a closely-kept secret until the awards ceremony in the show hall at 3 p.m. Sunday 10th February.
"Frankly, I think if I can move NAHBS around the country, running the show almost single-handed, then other trade shows probably could too... if they really wanted to provide that level of customer service," states Walker, who may not be Hemingway but has never been afraid to speak his mind.
Having started with 23 exhibitors in Houston, Texas, in 2005, the North American Handmade Bicycle Show is dedicated to showcasing the talents of individuals around the world whose art form is the bicycle. It aims to be a gathering point – online and in person – for framebuilders, tubing and component manufacturers, and consumers looking for custom-made bikes; for the sharing of ideas; and for the promotion of this industry and its traditions. For more information, see www.handmadebicycleshow.com.


So most of you know that I subscribe to Hello Fresh but a lot of people don't understand why? Mostly because of the price and I get that. But the number one reason why I subscribe to HF is…well, to be blunt, I'm lazy…as hell!
Most of the food I buy will sit in the freezer or go bad, because at the time I wanted it, but then my mind changes.
So, instead of buying a weeks worth of grocery that will probably only feed me for about two days and then go to waste, I've decided to go with Hello Fresh and see what it's about. I've only had good things to say about it, honestly.
This is BY FAR the best part of HF because again, I AM LAZY! The hardest part is putting the food in the fridge, and BAM I'm done. I mean, if the pricing was a little bit better, it would be a no brainer that I would continue to do this. Which kind of brings me to my second point!
Each meal feeds me twice!
I do the 3 meals for $60 plan. Which, since I'm single, turns into 6 meals for $60, because each meal serves 2, and I bring the second serving to work for lunch the next day. However, this does not necessarily save me money, it does ensure that I'm eating "decently" at least for half of the week.
If I didn't have Hello Fresh, I'd probably be eating fast food for every meal. Which I have indeed done and the reason I've gained like 20 pounds over the course of the last year. That and no exercising…lol. HF keeps me eating veggies (which I hate), and keeps me from overeating because I know that the serving size is exactly what I should have instead of cooking too much and force feeding my face.
Vegetarian? No problem, they offer those options. Vegan, not so much. The food is pretty awesome and easy to cook. Considering if you know how to follow directions.
The only Con I can think of is that at the price point, I can't see it being a long term option.
And this is where the fun part comes in. Hello Fresh sends you recipe cards for EACH AND EVERY MEAL. So after you get yourself a little catalog of recipes from them, you can cancel your subscription, and cook your favorite meals over and over again. Only thing is, you give up the convenience of having food sent to your door, but you save money on getting food shipped to you, but then again, you're bound to pick up extra items if you go to the grocery store (like wine and candy), so I guess it's kind of a Catch-22.
And yes, I know that you can just look up your own recipes online, but there's something about cooking it first from HF and then going out and cooking it again yourself and doing it your own little way.
Also can you all send the Garlic pre-minced?
Don't send me those little jars of ketchup that requires me to get a paintbrush in order to scoop out…ketchup is a household staple. Add that to the "you should already have this" list.
Send me something like EVOO….not no damn ketchup.
Why do your recipes require me to use multiple medium sized pans and bowls? I only have 1 of each.
It's impossible to get into the vacuum sealed proteins…I almost die EACH TIME.
Can you all ship herbs OFF of the stem please? Thank you!
If you have any questions on Hello Fresh, let me know! I'd be glad to share my experiences in more detail if needed!

Lighthouse is among the leaders of the development
A new report from the International Transport Forum shows how the Nordic countries are leading the development towards cleaner and fossil-free shipping. When the countries' research programs are discussed, Lighthouse is at the Swedish operation at center.
lighthouseconnect_inkind_kopia.jpg
The report Navigating Towards Cleaner Maritime Shipping - Lessons From the Nordic Region published today by the International Transport Forum focuses on the Nordic countries' path to fossil-free and cleaner shipping. How can the sector meet energy and environmental policy goals, how can air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions be reduced? New technology, possible solutions and their status in development are described. The different countries' action plans, technical and financial obstacles as well as regulations are also analyzed.
So what does the result say? Well, all in all, the Nordic countries are pioneering and taking the lead in reducing the environmental impact of shipping, which makes the report relevant around the globe. When research and innovation are discussed, the Swedish Transport Administration is mentioned as the Swedish main funder (with a research budget of 100 million per year until 2022), while Lighthouse takes its place as the Swedish collaboration platform for research and innovation in the maritime sector. The platform's operation which is based on Triple helix collaboration between industry, academia and government are described in some detail. Lighthouse's involvement in the EU's technology platform Waterborne is mentioned, for example, as is the initiative taken to create a Swedish national agenda for maritime research and innovation.
Even if the Nordic countries are at the forefront, the report points out that it is important that the pace of development and innovation is accelerated further. A number of recommendations are therefore given. Among other things, it is proposed that stricter international rules on energy efficiency are introduced for both existing and new vessels, that electrification of short sea shipping and the provision of shore power supply be further stimulated, that international rules on life cycle emissions of marine fuels are introduced and that more pilot projects testing new fuels are started.

Peter and Wendy (1911) is the title of James M. Barrie's novelization of his most famous play, Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904). Inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family, both the play and the novel tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous young boy who can fly, and his adventures on the island of Neverland with Wendy Darling and her brothers. The novel follows the play closely, though its final chapter is an addition to the original work. Peter and Wendy was first published in 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in the United Kingdom and Charles Scribner's Sons in the United States. In 1929, Barrie gave the copyright to the works featuring Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), Britain's leading children's hospital.

'Hysterical' scrutiny on Seibold as Broncos coach
UPDATE: Anthony Seibold says he gave it his best at the Brisbane Broncos as he walks away from the role two years into a five-year contract.
He said it was an emotional morning saying goodbye to the team he has coached since 2018 amid a series of losses on the field and scandals off the field.
"We failed this year," he said.
The former head coach paid tribute to the club, where he started his rugby league career, as he fronted the media to step down from the role.
He has indicated he plans to coach again after a season of intense scrutiny.
The Broncos announced Peter Gentle will coach the team through to the end of the season.
"For many reasons, my time at the Broncos did not work out as we had all hoped. But that's sport. We love sport because it's full of uncertainty. And rugby league seems to throw up uncertainty better than any sport I know," he said in a statement and at the press conference.
He said the final straw was hopping on a plane from Sydney when he wanted to be with his daughter.
Seibold had to break the NRL's coronavirus quarantine bubble after a family crisis more than two weeks ago and has not coached the team since.
The team will now recruit a new coach for the 2021 season.
"Today is about giving Anthony the recognition he deserves," Paul White said.
EARLIER: Anthony Seibold will front the media this morning following his sacking from the Brisbane Broncos.
In a statement, the beleaguered club announced the coach had asked to walk away from his position after a string of losses.
"As a result, Anthony approached Chairman Karl Morris late last week to indicate he did not wish to continue as Coach of the Brisbane Broncos," the statement said.
"The Board understands Anthony's situation and has accepted his wishes to step down from the position."
The departing coach is set to address his players for the final time before a holding a press conference at 9am AEST.
Seibold was sacked on Tuesday after his position became untenable.

The 45-year-old is the shortest serving coach in Brisbane's 32-year history, lasting only 20 months into a five-year contract and finishing with a winning record of 37 per cent.
What will he have to say when he addresses the media? Tune in to watch the press conference right here.

New Data Settles the Debate: Obamacare Is Making Health Insurance More Affordable, Not Less
It's that time of year again.
No, not the holiday season. I'm talking about Obamacare season.
In the second year of our new annual tradition, the exchanges are open for enrollment, which begs the question: What have we learned since last time? Were the naysayers proven right, or did Obamacare really make health insurance more affordable, as was intended?
With a new year of data to answer these questions, once more into the breach we go…
At this time last year, the inaugural enrollment period was not going well. The website was malfunctioning, people were losing plans they wanted to keep, and the media was running scare stories about "sticker shock." I argued, on the contrary, that the website would get fixed in a hurry, most people were getting better plans, and the exchanges were actually reducing the cost of health insurance.
The first prediction was clearly vindicated. The website got fixed, and 8 million Americans enrolled.
The second prediction was also a victory for Obamacare. Before the exchanges opened, 16.4 percent of Americans were uninsured. A year later, only 11.3 percent were uninsured.
And this isn't only due to the Medicaid expansion. In states that did not expand Medicaid, the uninsured rate fell from 18.2 percent to 13.8 percent. Clearly, the exchanges didn't just replace old plans. They created new ones for people who didn't have any.
They didn't reduce coverage. They expanded it.
And according to the latest Gallup poll, the people who got that coverage are just as happy with it as the people with non-exchange insurance — and the people on the exchange are actually happier with their costs than everyone else.
Which brings us to the third prediction. This one was more controversial.
Earlier this year, I analyzed the many studies of pre- and post-Obamacare costs and came to the conclusion: "On average, Obamacare clearly lowered the cost of health insurance."
Two of the experts who wrote one of those studies, Paul Howard and Yevgeniy Feyman, disagreed with me. They argued that I misinterpreted their estimates by comparing Kaiser's estimate for all ages to their estimate for 27-year-olds. But they're the ones who made the mistake. Apparently, they misread the Kaiser estimate I cited, which referred to 18-to-34-year-olds, not all age groups. I chose this estimate specifically because it was comparable to theirs.
Then, they cited other studies that used the same faulty methodology that they used, and they claimed that I "ignored" those studies — when in fact I explained exactly why those kinds of studies were inaccurate.
Finally, they suggested that I was conflating premiums before subsidies with the cost after subsidies, overlooking the price paid by taxpayers. At this point, I was wondering whether they even read my original article, where I made a clear distinction between the two. The evidence suggested, I wrote, that the average premium increase before subsidies was small — maybe zero. And even if it did increase, that increase was due to people buying more generous plans because now they could afford them. And the point of the subsidies was to make health insurance costs go down for the people who needed it the most — which is exactly what happened.
Whew. You can see what I meant when I said it was controversial.
The good news is, now we have a second year of data to settle the debate, and this data is better because we can compare the same level of plans with the same amount of coverage on the same exchanges, apples-to-apples, as opposed to the pre-Obamacare plans, which were all over the map. Literally.
The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation has examined the "benchmark" silver plans in major cities in all 50 states, and they've found that the monthly premiums have increased 2 percent, on average, since last year. That is slower than health insurance premiums have grown in any year since we've started recording the data. Only a couple years ago, health insurance costs were growing 5 percent per year. During the Bush administration, they were growing more than 10 percent per year. Two percent is unheard of.
And that's only the average. In nearly half of those cities, premiums are falling on the exchanges. That's unprecedented. Health insurance premiums almost never fall. And when you compare premiums after subsidies, 90 percent of cities are paying less than they did last year!
Now, maybe you still don't like Obamacare. Maybe you'd prefer a simpler, cheaper system. (Who wouldn't?) But there is one thing you simply cannot deny: Over the past year, health insurance has become more affordable for the non-group market, and the result will be better health care for millions of Americans who need it and wouldn't have it if Obamacare didn't exist.

Finally! Someone Explains What All Those Obamacare Numbers Mean!
You're going to hear a lot about Obamacare this fall, especially from Republicans. They'll try to convince you that it was a bad deal. They'll throw numbers at you to make you think that the cost of health insurance is spiraling out of control. In all likelihood, those numbers will be wrong, but how will you know? There are so many numbers flying around out there that even the experts are having trouble keeping track.
That's why it's time for a math lesson. After reading this article, you'll know what the numbers mean — and which ones you should trust. No candidate will be able to fool you.
And you won't even need a calculator.
First of all, you have to understand that we're only talking about the individual market, where people buy insurance if they're not covered by their employer or a government program. That means the "individual mandate" and the "government-run exchanges" only affect 7 percent of the population. For the majority of the population covered by their employer, the cost of health insurance rose less in 2014 than it had in any year since the Milliman Medical Index started keeping track. We can probably thank Obamacare's cost control provisions for some of that achievement, but that's a conversation for another day.
For now, let's focus on the individual market. Before Obamacare, insurers charged low rates to healthy people and high rates to sick people, making insurance unaffordable for the people who needed it the most. Obamacare banned discrimination against sick people and mandated that all people must purchase insurance. Without that mandate, insurers would have raised rates to cover the new sick customers, and healthy people would have refused to pay the new high rates, driving rates up even higher as the population became sicker on average.
When the law was passed, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that premiums would increase 10 to 13 percent, but only because people would be receiving more generous coverage. Obamacare required every health insurance plan to meet basic minimum standards. Additionally, by making it more affordable, more people would want to buy more generous coverage. If you compared plans with the same level of coverage, the CBO predicted that premiums would actually go down.
When states started announcing the premiums for their new "exchanges," you probably started hearing about "sticker shock." By comparing the new premiums to old quotes from health insurance websites, Obamacare critics claimed that the law had drastically raised prices. The problem with their argument was that the quotes on the old websites were very unreliable. They rarely reflected what insurers would actually charge you, once they factored in your medical history, age, gender, etc. In fact, many Americans would be denied coverage altogether. Anyone who knew anything about health insurance knew that the website quotes were lowballing the cost.
State governments like California countered by making a more reasonable comparison. They argued that the new exchange premiums were actually lower than premiums for small group coverage, for which they had better data. Obamacare critics weren't satisfied. Small group plans may have been more expensive than the plans on the new exchange, but that's because they offered more generous coverage.
The Manhattan Institute, led by conservative health expert Avik Roy, tried to find a middle ground by adjusting the quotes on the health insurance websites, raising the estimates for people who were "surcharged" or denied, and finding that Obamacare increased prices by 41 percent.
The problem with Roy's analysis was that his adjusted numbers didn't match reality. Before Obamacare, Roy suggested that 27-year-olds — the ones who were being hit the hardest, he argued — paid between $1,596 (men) and $1,980 (women) in average annual premiums. But the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a survey in 2010 and found that they were actually paying closer to $2,630. Across the board, Roy had underestimated the pre-Obamacare cost of health insurance, and he wasn't including costs that consumers paid out of their own pockets.
Last month, three Wharton economists used the Current Population Survey to calculate a more accurate estimate of the average pre-Obamacare premium. They found that it was basically identical to the lowest-cost plan available on the Obamacare exchanges. Compared to more expensive plans, of course, it was cheaper, but when they factored in out-of-pocket costs, they found that the new plans were 14 to 28 percent more expensive than the old ones, only slightly higher than the CBO's original predictions.
But wait. The Wharton study only counted people who purchased insurance, not people who were denied or who refused because the insurer's quote was too expensive. We'll never know what that quote was, but we can assume it would significantly raise our estimate of the average premium. To ignore those people — and there were millions of them — is to say that they don't matter, even though Obamacare was designed specifically with them in mind.
The Wharton study also doesn't include the tax credits that the federal government uses to subsidize low-to-middle income buyers on the exchanges. Last month, the government announced that 87 percent of shoppers received a subsidy on the federal exchange, bringing their average monthly premium down from $346 to only $82!
That's a 76 percent reduction, and it more than makes up for the 14 to 28 percent premium increase, which may not be much of an increase after all if you include people who didn't buy insurance in the past.
Bottom line: On average, Obamacare clearly lowered the cost of health insurance.
Sure, some people will pay higher rates, but you have to remember that those people only paid low rates in the past because insurers were discriminating against sick people. The new market is much fairer and more affordable for more people — a fact that you might want to point out to Republicans on the campaign trail this fall.

Yes, Obamacare Critics, Health Insurance Does Make You Healthier
Michael Barone and Charles Krauthammer have some medical advice for you: Don't get health insurance, they say. It won't make you healthier. It's a waste of money.
They must be desperate. They don't want to admit that they've run out of criticisms of Obamacare. The website is working, enrollments are surging, and millions of Americans are getting affordable, high-quality health insurance. They couldn't deny these facts, so they needed a new argument to discredit the law — and they found it tucked away in the New England Journal of Medicine.
In 2008, Oregon conducted an experiment. They held a random lottery. They picked 20,745 names out of a waiting list of 90,000 low-income adults who wanted to sign up for Medicaid. Of the winners, half received Medicaid, and half did not. After two years, they compared the two groups to see if the ones who had Medicaid were any better off.
Barone and Krauthammer claim that the Medicaid group did not have better health than the uninsured group, proving the futility of health insurance, but their conclusion is based on a very narrow, selective reading of the evidence.
It's true that the individuals on Medicaid did not fare any better than their uninsured counterparts on blood tests for cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. But it's also true that the Medicaid patients scored higher on the mental quality-of-life test, experienced significantly lower rates of depression, and reported that they felt healthier.
The Medicaid patients also experienced significantly less financial strain. They were 25 percent less likely to have an unpaid medical bill sent to a collection agency.
In other words, health insurance has significant mental and financial benefits.
In this study, the physical benefits are less clear, but that's not surprising, given that it only lasted two years and it only measured three simple blood levels. Fortunately, other researchers have measured more than just cholesterol.
A 2008 study in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, for example, revealed that uninsured patients were significantly more likely to develop advanced-stage cancer because they didn't receive early screening to detect it.
A year later, Harvard researchers published a study in the Annals of Surgery showing that uninsured patients who arrived at the emergency room with traumatic injuries were almost twice as likely to die in the hospital as patients with insurance, even if they had the same race, gender, age, and severity of injury. Later that year, a similar study was conducted at the Boston Children's Hospital and published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery. It found that uninsured children were more than three times as likely to die from traumatic injuries as children with commercial insurance.
And if all that wasn't enough to convince you, the American Journal of Public Health published a study that same year comparing the death rates of the insured and the uninsured when they had the same education, income, weight, rates of smoking and drinking, etc. They concluded that 44,789 Americans die every year simply because they don't have health insurance.
That is the bottom line we should be talking about.
If the Oregon experiment were carried out beyond two years, the differences between the insured and the uninsured would accumulate. They found that the Medicaid patients were 70 percent more likely to visit the doctor, 20 percent more likely to have their cholesterol monitored, and for the women, 60 percent more likely to get a mammogram. Those kinds of preventive measures don't make a huge impact in two years, but in the long run, they can mean the difference between life and death.
Health insurance is so beneficial to your health, in fact, that its effects spillover and benefit those of us around you. Studies have shown, for instance, that companies that offer health insurance are more productive because insured workers take 52 percent fewer "sick days" than their uninsured co-workers.
I have to wonder if Barone and Krauthammer have ever even met anyone on Medicaid. I wonder if they know the terrible fear that uninsured Americans feel when they get sick and they're forced to choose between astronomical medical bills and untreated illness.
I think they should find out. If they're so confident that health insurance doesn't affect your health, then I would like to issue this challenge to them: Give up your own health insurance. Don't waste another penny on it. Join the ranks of the uninsured.
If not, if they're unwilling to follow their own advice, then they should stop giving it. They should stop spreading misinformation that can hurt millions of Americans who read their op-ed columns and who depend on the access to lifesaving medical care that only health insurance can provide.

Does Obamacare Infringe on Our Liberty? Or Does It Give Us Even More Freedom?
What right does the government have to make you buy health insurance?
That's the question that riles Obamacare critics the most. It's not the premiums or the website or the dropped coverage. It's the infringement on their liberty.
You hear it all the time: "This is a free country!" That's what everybody says. But what do they really mean? Do they know what freedom is?
It seems obvious at first. Freedom is lack of coercion. Therefore, anything the government makes you do infringes on your freedom.
But there are different types of coercion, and the government isn't the only one doing the coercing.
Let's say that you want your daughter to attend the best school in America. But you can't afford the tuition. Do you really have freedom of choice? If you choose the school you want, they won't let you through the front door. If you force your way in, they'll arrest you.
So you "choose" a more affordable school. You wanted a better school, but they forced you to settle for a different one. Sounds like coercion to me.
Let's consider another example. You want to retire at the age of 65. You've worked hard throughout your entire adult life. Unfortunately, wages haven't risen, and the bills kept piling up. You saved as much as you could, but it's only enough to live off for a couple years. Oh, and one more thing: Social Security and Medicare don't exist.
If you "choose" to retire, you'll go broke. You'll go without preventive health care. Your chances of dying early will increase significantly.
So you have a choice: Keep working or die young.
In this case, you actually have less freedom because the government is less involved. Without Social Security and Medicare, you do not have the freedom to choose a long, healthy retirement.
Freedom requires more than the absence of laws and taxes. True freedom of choice requires the capability to make that choice — and the free market doesn't always give us that capability.
Jobs are scarce. Most of us don't have the freedom to work anywhere we want. We take what we can get. For many of us, that means working at a company that doesn't pay for our health insurance. So we "choose" to buy insurance on the individual market.
Before Obamacare, the individual market charged really low rates to healthy people and really high rates to sick people. So the people who needed insurance the most couldn't afford it. They didn't have the capability — and therefore the freedom — to buy it.
Obamacare outlaws that kind of discrimination. It requires insurers to charge the same rates to healthy and sick people alike, and that means that healthy people will have to pay higher rates. Some of them won't want to, so they'll stop buying insurance. When they drop out, they leave behind the sicker people who are most costly to insure, forcing insurers to raise rates even more. It's a vicious cycle, a "death spiral," that results in almost everyone being priced out of the market.
Virtually no one will have the freedom to buy health insurance on the individual market.
And that's why we have an individual mandate. If the healthy people don't drop out, there's no death spiral, and the insurance remains affordable for the people who need it the most.
The government gives them a freedom that the free market cannot. It gives them the capability to purchase health insurance.
If we choose not to buy insurance, we pay a penalty. As Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has written, "it makes going without insurance just another thing the Government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning income." Those taxes pay for our roads and Army and Navy and Social Security and Medicare — and those things give us the freedom to live a life that we often take for granted. Without those taxes, without those government-funded investments, we could not call ourselves a free country.
In the same way, without Obamacare, without the government making us buy health insurance, we would be condemning millions of Americans to lives without health care. We would be restricting their freedom. And what right do we have to do that?
Good News: Obamacare Clearly Isn't Stifling the Economy
The latest GDP numbers are bad news for Obamacare critics.
You'd think that everyone would be happy when the Commerce Department announced that our economy grew by a whopping 4.1 percent in the third quarter of this year. But according to the naysayers, that wasn't supposed to happen.
One of their biggest complaints against Obamacare was that it would stifle the economy. Penalties and fines would raise the cost of doing business. High premiums would impoverish middle-class families. Forcing businesses to offer health insurance to full-time employees would make them switch to part-time employees — or stop hiring altogether.
And yet, the more of the law that's implemented, the better the economy seems to perform. How can that be?
Well, for one thing, the cost of Obamacare has been greatly exaggerated. The law states that companies with more than 50 workers must offer health insurance to their full-time employees or pay a fine of $2,000 per employee. That may sound like a lot, but it's a heck of a lot less than most companies are already paying for health insurance, which costs an average of $15,073 per worker.
"You've got 5.7 million firms in the U.S.," says health economist Mark Duggan. "Only 210,000 have more than 50 employees. So 96 percent of firms aren't affected. Then if you look among those firms with 50 or more employees, something on the order of 95 percent offer health insurance."
When you add it all up, the "employer mandate" probably affects less than 1 percent of the workforce. Definitely not enough to make a dent in the economy.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that there is no evidence that Obamacare is turning us into a "part-time" economy. Since President Obama signed the law, the economy has added millions of full-time jobs, while part-time jobs have actually declined. A lower percentage of workers are part-time than they were under President Reagan in the 1980s. Over the past year, there has been a significant decline in the number of people working part-time "for involuntary economic reasons." And when you look at the part-time definition of "less than 30 hours per week," the number of workers who fall just below that cutoff has been growing slower than the number of workers just above it.
And it makes even less sense to argue that the employer mandate would cause employers to drop coverage. If they're offering coverage, it's because their employees want it, and they want to attract and retain good employees. They're not going to stop just because the penalty costs less than the insurance. If they wanted to drop coverage, they could have done it before Obamacare, when there wasn't a penalty at all. In fact, in the years after Massachusetts enacted an employer mandate, their employer-based insurance coverage actually increased while the rest of the nation's decreased.
What's more, those small businesses that do offer coverage will receive a sizeable tax credit. For the small businesses that already offer coverage, this is a huge windfall. For the ones that don't, the tax credit may make it profitable for them to do so. And since they fall under the 50-employee cutoff, they won't be penalized if they don't offer coverage.
The only remaining question mark is exactly how the employer mandate will affect insurance premiums. Since it doesn't go into effect until the beginning of 2015, we'll have to wait until the end of 2014 to find out. Just like this year's fiasco, there will probably be a lot of complaints about dropped coverage and raised rates, and then those complaints will fade away as people realize that most of them can get better coverage and, on average, rates are going down.
And, as an added bonus, those Americans who do lose their employer-based coverage now have the comfort of knowing that they won't be denied coverage or charged discriminatory rates on the individual market, thanks to the individual mandate and the online marketplace that are now in place. They will get affordable insurance, and they will live healthier lives, and they will continue to contribute to the rising productivity that is making our economy grow so fast.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time turned 10 years old last Friday. Remarkably, even after a decade of technological advances and narrative achievements in gaming, it remains atop Gamerankings' list as the highest rated game of all time. However, if Eiji Aonuma (director of Ocarina and every subsequent Zelda title) has his way, the Hylian N64 classic will be dethroned in his lifetime.
In a recent interview with Nintendo Power, Aonuma expressed his lofty career goals -- he plans to stick with the Zelda series until he creates a title that surpasses Ocarina of Time. This is fantastic news, as Aonuma's continued involvement with the series is likely the only reason we've yet to see a spin-off title featuring a gun-toting Dark Link.

Transfer: Willian drops hint over new Chelsea deal
zinomulla / December 12, 2019 / News, Transfer News
After enduring a frustrating season, Brazil and Chelsea winger Willian has revealed his agent is in talks with the Blues over a new contract and says he hopes there will be "good news soon".
The 31-year-old's contract runs out at the end of the season and he will be able to speak to foreign clubs about a free transfer in January. But the Brazilian has reiterated his desire to stay at Stamford Bridge where he has spent the last six-and-a-half years and won two Premier League titles. and hints an agreement between the parties is close.
Speaking to Yahoo Sport, William said: "I have stated several times my wish is to stay at Chelsea. "I like the club very much, I feel very welcomed here, as well as my family, and we love living in London.
"However, I'm in the middle of the season and I try not to think about it so as not to lose focus on the field. My agent and the club are talking and I hope we can have some good news soon.
"In transfer windows, it is normal to have bids and speculations, especially for players who are in the final contract. But my focus is 100% on Chelsea and the season."
In the summer, Willian was the subject of bids from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. But he stayed at Stamford Bridge to win more trophies and has made 21 appearances under Frank Lampard this season.
Willian joined Chelsea from Russian side Anzhi in a £32m deal in 2013 and has gone on to make over 300 appearances for the Blues. He has also won the Europa League, an FA Cup, and a League Cup.
In a related development, Chelsea have made contact over a potential move for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, as they look to strengthen the void left by Eden Hazard. Palace has said that they won't accept less than £80 million for the Ivory Coast forward and report says Blues are ready to pay a club-record fee of £80m for the 27-year-old.
