Beverly Ann Waller, aged 73 years of Drinkwater, SK passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 14th, 2019 after a long fight with Alzheimer's disease. She was born on August 24th, 1945 to Gordon and Anne Williams. Bev will be sorely missed and is survived by her husband, Ken Waller; children: Kim (Kevin) Gulka, Kris (Wendy) Waller, and Stacey (Aaron) Gamble; grandchildren: Krista, Dayna, Naomi, Morgan, Sydney, and Kaleb; brother, Daryl Williams; sisters: Sandra (Gord) Miller, Karen (Emerson) Koch, Kathy (Jack) Gadd, and Terry (Stu) Gadd; as well as many nieces and nephews. Bev was raised on a farm near Bayard, SK and graduated from Briercrest High School. She married Ken in April 1967 and settled into their forever home on a farm just outside of Drinkwater, SK. She was a busy lady with an active hand in farming, raised 3 great kids, played baseball (coached by her mom Anne Williams), and gardening…using her 3 kids as slave labour. In 1984, Bev started working in the kitchen at St Anthony's Home and later moved over to Providence Place, retiring in 2008, never to see that place again!! Little did she know as Alzheimer's took her deeper into confusion, she returned to Providence Place, but as a resident this time, after a knee replacement caused the illness to take a much stronger hold. Special thanks to the wonderful staff at Providence Place where friends and acquaintances continued to care for Bev during her remaining years. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, February 23rd, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. in Moose Jaw Funeral Home. Chery Thul will officiate and interment will take place in Drinkwater Cemetery at a later date. As an expression, donations in Bev's name may be made to The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Surtees Funeral Director 306-693-4550.

1. Many years ago, a man named Job lived in the land of Uz. He was a truly good person, who respected God and refused to do evil.
2. Job had seven sons and three daughters.
3. He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pair of oxen, five hundred donkeys, and a large number of servants. He was the richest person in the East.
4. Job's sons took turns having feasts in their homes, and they always invited their three sisters to join in the eating and drinking.
5. After each feast, Job would send for his children and perform a ceremony, as a way of asking God to forgive them of any wrongs they may have done. He would get up early the next morning and offer a sacrifice for each of them, just in case they had sinned or silently cursed God.
7. the LORD asked, "Satan, where have you been?" Satan replied, "I have been going all over the earth."
8. Then the LORD asked, "What do you think of my servant Job? No one on earth is like him--he is a truly good person, who respects me and refuses to do evil."
9. "Why shouldn't he respect you?" Satan remarked.
10. "You are like a wall protecting not only him, but his entire family and all his property. You make him successful in whatever he does, and his flocks and herds are everywhere.
11. Try taking away everything he owns, and he will curse you to your face."
12. The LORD replied, "All right, Satan, do what you want with anything that belongs to him, but don't harm Job." Then Satan left.
15. a gang of Sabeans attacked and stole the oxen and donkeys! Your other servants were killed, and I was the only one who escaped to tell you."
16. That servant was still speaking, when a second one came running up and saying, "God sent down a fire that killed your sheep and your servants. I am the only one who escaped to tell you."
17. Before that servant finished speaking, a third one raced up and said, "Three gangs of Chaldeans attacked and stole your camels! All of your other servants were killed, and I am the only one who escaped to tell you."
19. when suddenly a windstorm from the desert blew the house down, crushing all of your children. I am the only one who escaped to tell you."
21. and said: "We bring nothing at birth; we take nothing with us at death. The LORD alone gives and takes. Praise the name of the LORD!"
22. In spite of everything, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing wrong.

It's in response to the pathetic CITES conference which basically screwed marine animal protection. The Christian Science Monitor rightly points out that citizens and consumers need to get involved in endangered species protection, because at the CITES level, it's all about money and international politics. But jobs that depend on harvesting endangered species will quickly disappear if those species are not protected. "Earth Hour" was held yesterday.

Facebook is eyeing engineers at New York banks in hiring spree

Facebook eyeing engineers at New York banks amid hiring spree

Watch out Wall Street, Facebook Inc. is coming for your engineers.
The Menlo Park, California-based social media giant plans to double its headcount in New York City, aiming to hire more than 3,000 people over the next three to five years, according to a company spokesman. About half of its existing staff in the city are engineers, or some 1,600, and poaching such workers from the finance sector is "quite common" at Facebook, he said.
The expansion could set up Facebook for a clash with some of the biggest firms in finance, like Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which is looking to recruit more than 100 coders for tech-related roles over the next few months in its biggest hiring spree in years. Goldman has said it plans to raid rivals in technology and finance.
Facebook's plans further boost the Big Apple's profile as a leading technology hub. The city has been actively supporting the sector in recent years since it can no longer count on Wall Street as its business engine after it was hobbled in the financial crisis. Meanwhile West Coast tech giants have been bulking up in New York, snapping up real estate and adding thousands of employees. Alphabet Inc.'s Google has more than 8,000 people mostly in Manhattan and is planning to double that over the next 10 years. And, despite nixing New York for its proposed second headquarters, Amazon.com Inc. still employs around 5,000 workers in the city -- and is actively hiring.
While the tech titans expand their footprint, the city's big banks are spending more than ever on technology. Bank of America Corp. has said it plows roughly US$10 billion a year into technology, including US$3 billion dedicated to new initiatives. JPMorgan Chase & Co. spends about US$11 billion a year for a force of 50,000 technologists. Citigroup Inc. says technology takes up 20 percent of the firm's expenses -- or about US$8 billion -- a year.
"The battle for engineering talent in NYC in 2019 is the fiercest I've seen it," said Jovena Whatmoor, chief executive officer of Clutch Talent, an NYC recruitment firm that specializes in recruiting software engineers. "Engineers are becoming overwhelmed by the choices of which interview requests to accept."
In the last three years, the share of job postings for technology roles in the New York metro area has increased by almost 10 per cent, according to data compiled by hiring website Indeed.com. The city is fertile ground for engineers. New tech courses and research institutes are being set up at the City University of New York, New York University and Columbia University. Meanwhile, the new Cornell Tech graduate school on Roosevelt Island is churning out eligible employees -- it now has more than 500 alumni, with 60 per cent of graduates choosing to stay in the city.
One advantage that tech companies can wield in a competitive and expensive city like New York is pay. Facebook offers a salary of about US$150,000 on average for software engineers, while a bank like JPMorgan typically offers US$100,000 in New York, according to data compiled by LinkedIn. Whatmoor said her firm has seen engineering candidates receive offers as high as US$200,000 from startups, a level she hadn't seen even as recently as a year ago.
"There can be no doubt in the long run that this is good for every tech employer in New York," said Julie Samuels, executive director of the nonprofit network Tech:NYC.
By hiring more engineers, Facebook is "feeding an ecosystem" in New York, which is growing every year, Samuels said. It's getting harder for financial institutions to hire tech talent because of the increasing demand, she added. "We are incredibly bullish on the technical talent you are going to see coming out of New York. At the end of the day, the decision to go into finance or big tech comes down to what they can pay."
In order to recruit and retain top engineering talent banks often try to take on the trappings of the tech companies, with perks such as ping pong tables in offices and trendy snacks, without really trying to change their culture, said Rob Dicks, a principal at consulting firm Deloitte who focuses on compensation and staffing at financial services firms.
"What pops out to me is: you roll the ping pong table in but then it's considered completely verboten to go play ping pong," Dicks said. "The tech firms have done a much better job moving west coast to east coast than the banks have done in terms of changing the inherent culture."
Wall Street banks and finance firms are notorious for impeccable suits and long hours but at least traditionally had generous pay packages to match. Today's recruits have other priorities. In a blog on Facebook's website called Moving from Finance to Facebook, engineers who have made the leap outlined their reasoning -- yes the perks, including a more flexible schedule, but also a social mission that typically goes hand-in-hand with working in tech.
Nadia Alshahwan spent four years as lead architect focused on data design and quality standards at JPMorgan before joining Facebook. "My technical skills transferred over easily," she wrote on the blog. "The big difference is now I'm solving bigger challenges, with even greater impact."

Os Directores é uma peça de teatro de Daniel Besse. Foi vencedor do Prémio Molière 2000.

Sinopse
Esta peça aborda as relações entre os directores de uma empresa de armamento pesado de um grande conglomerado econômico. Pressionados com a concorrência dos americanos, os personagens destilam um humor cáustico num diálogo cortante em que a competição, a inveja e a ambição aparecem como temas principais. Nos restaurantes elegantes de Paris, em campos de golfe, ministérios e galerias de arte, estes homens e mulheres travam a sua disputa e por trás destes ambientes sofisticados revela-se o cinismo e a vulgaridade do mundo regido pelas grandes corporações.
