Forced Resignation Under Ethiopian Employment Law
Ethiopian Employment Law Uncategorized
July 26, 2021 July 26, 2021 Abrham Yohannes
Forced Resignation and Constructive Dismissal
Valid Grounds
Time-Limit
Compensation and Severance Pay
There are two mechanisms an employee may terminate his employment contract upon his own initiation. The first one is by giving 30 days advance notice. Apart from the notice, no valid ground is necessary for such termination. The second is termination without notice due to valid grounds specified by the labour proclamation. Both mechanisms produce different results in terms of payment of compensation. The purpose of this short article is not to compare these two kinds of termination. The scope of the article is limited to overview of the procedural and substantive requirements for lawful termination of employment contract by the employee including the legal effect thereof.
Dismissal and resignation are two terms employed to indicate termination by the employer and the employee respectively. Neither of these two terms are used in the labour proclamation. As pointed out above, resignation could be with or without notice. In common law countries, resignation without notice is called constructive dismissal. Such kind of dismissal is considered for all legal and practical purposes as dismissal by the employer. By its very definition, constructive dismissal is where an employer has committed a serious breach of contract, entitling the employee to resign in response to the employer's conduct.[1]
The designation is based on the fact that the employee is forced to resign from his job because of intolerable pressure by the employer leaving the worker with no choice but to leave. The pressure may be manifested through serious breach of the contract or violation of the rights and dignity of the employee. In other words, it is a kind of indirect dismissal of the employer.
Ethiopian employment law does not recognize the concept of constructive dismissal. Irrespective of the degree of breach of contract by the employer, termination by the employer due to such breach is categorized under termination upon initiation of the employee. Additionally, not all breaches and violations are considered as valid, even though they may be serious and gross acts endangering the very existence of the contract.
The labour proclamation identifies following as good causes to terminate a contract of employment without prior notice:
a) Where the employer has committed any act contrary to human dignity and morals or other acts punishable under the Criminal Law against the worker;
b) Where the worker has been a victim of sexual harassment or sexual violence by the employer or a managerial employee;
c) In the case of imminent danger threatening the worker's safety or health, where the employer, having been made aware of such danger, failed to act within the time limit in accordance with the early warning given by the competent authority or appropriate trade union or the worker himself to avert the danger;
d) Where the employer has repeatedly failed to fulfill his basic obligations towards the worker as prescribed under this Proclamation, collective agreement, work rules or other relevant laws.
Even though 'repetition' is used to measure the magnitude of the damage caused by the employer, there are many acts of breach that occur only once which may cause serious harm to the worker. For example, commission of one of the prohibited acts listed in Article 14 (1) will definitely cause serious harm on the worker making the work environment intolerable.
A worker's right to terminate his contract of employment in accordance with Article 32 (1) of the labour proclamation shall expire after fifteen working days from the date on which the act occurred or ceased to exist. [Article 33 LP] The rationale behind forced resignation is providing the employee with choice when the employment relationship is harmed due unjustifiable acts of the employer. Failure to utilize such option within a reasonable period of time, to some extent signifies the worker has is ok with the continuation of the relationship. [Without denying that it may also be due the worker being in a position of 'no choice' if he can't find alternative employment.]
Article 33 is wrongly as period of limitation. However, the article is talking about extinctive prescription, not period of limitation. The former indicates a claim has been extinguished by the lapse of time, whereas the latter is about time limit for raising or presenting a question. In terms of legal effect both are different. In extinctive prescription the lapse of time results in loss of right. Therefore, it may be applied by court even if not raised by defendant. Period of limitation also potentially results in loss of right, but only if raised by defendant.
A worker who terminates his contract of employment in accordance with Article 32(1) of the labour proclamation shall be entitled, in addition to severance pay, to a payment of compensation which shall be thirty times his daily wages of the last week of service. The compensation increases if termination is due to sexual harassment or violence. Accordingly, where the termination is based on sexual harassment or sexual violence the worker shall, in addition to severance pay, be entitled to compensation of his daily wage multiplied by ninety.

Infant gut bacteria and food sensitization: associations in the first year of life
Canadian research sheds new light on the factors that cause children to develop food allergies
A new study from Canadian researchers at the University of Alberta and University of Manitoba is shedding new light on changes in intestinal bacteria of infants that can predict future development of food allergies or asthma.
The research, published in the February edition of the journal Clinical & Experimental Allergy and highlighted as the publication's "Editor's Choice," reveals that infants with a fewer number of different bacteria in their gut at three months of age are more likely to become sensitized to foods such as milk, egg or peanut by the time they are one year old. Infants who developed food sensitization also had altered levels of two specific types of bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and Bacteroidaceae, compared to infants who didn't.
"Using DNA techniques to classify bacteria in the Scott and Guttman laboratories at the University of Toronto, we obtained information on the different types of 'good' bacteria present in infant stool collected at three months of age and then at one year of age," says Anita Kozyrskyj, professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta and senior author of the study. "We were able to then see which bacteria present at three months predicted the development of food sensitization at one year, as measured by a skin reaction test to the food."
"We are continuing to study this process," says Meghan Azad, assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics & Child Health at the University of Manitoba and lead author of the study. "Ultimately, we hope to develop new ways of preventing or treating allergies, possibly by
modifying the gut microbiota."
The study, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and AllerGen NCE, looked at data from 166 infants enrolled in the Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) Study. This landmark study involves more than 3,500 families and their newborn infants across Canada, including 1,000 in Manitoba and 750 in Edmonton, who are being closely monitored to determine the genetic and home environment factors that contribute to future allergies and asthma. Researchers say the data on gut bacterial patterns during infancy can serve as a biomarker for future disease.
"It is something that one can measure that indicates increased risk of food sensitization by one year of age," says Kozyrskyj.
Both Kozyrskyj and Azad, who is also a research scientist at the Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, caution that the results don't necessarily mean the children will progress to full-blown food allergies in later life. The researchers will soon be expanding their sample size as data comes in from other children at CHILD Study sites in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Toronto. The hope is to eventually have data from as many as 2,500 children from across Canada. The researchers plan to follow them as they grow, examining results again at the ages of three and five.
"At the end of the day, we want to know if infants who show changes to normal gut bacteria composition will go on to develop food or other allergies, or even asthma," says Kozyrskyj.

Guayusa Tea: Like Yerba Maté, But Better
Randy Clemens
I can be an extremist with things, at times. When I find something I really like, I become wholly consumed by it and feel a need to tell everyone it's the best damn thing I've ever had. My newest tea obsession is no different, though it's not technically a tea at all. It's a drink made from the dried leaves of a member of the holly family, and I've gotta say… I think I'm in love with it.
It's called guayusa (pronounced gwy-yoo-suh), and it's Ecuador's answer to yerba maté, providing a similar caffeine jolt but without the pronounced bitterness you find in ye olde yerba. And guayusa's kick is different, as it provides a focused energy and alertness, earning it the nickname "night watchman's tea." I've only been enjoying its smooth, round, earthy flavor in the mornings thus far, but when taken at night, it's believed to induce lucid dreams, allowing you to be completely aware—and sometimes in command—of your dreams' progressions. (Note to self: totally drink some tonight at 11 p.m. while listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, maaaaan.)
And while the caffeine boost is a nice perk—on par cup for cup with that of coffee—the extra bonus is that guayusa boasts twice the antioxidants of green tea. Though now that I'm on my second cup for the day, I'm not sure I'm feeling any different from the antioxidants, but I can absolutely attest to the alertness and energy boost, as evidenced by the fact that I wrote this entire post in 2.5 seconds flat. True story.
Guayusa can be found at:
Beverly Hills Market, 303 N Crescent Dr., Beverly Hills, and most Vitamin Shoppe locations. It can also be ordered online from Teaometry.

With So Much Happening At Once, Here's Where To Focus
For compass headings amidst a heavy cloud of uncertainty, consumer bellwethers and leadership presence stand as constants.
John McManus
The whipsaw of headlines rips ahead of markets', pollsters', and pundits' ability to reckon with them.
This raises a question: what is headline risk? Rather than take a pontificator's path – to amplify either impending doom or to turn a deaf and denying ear to real-world challenges – here's a kind of middle ground to take stock amidst a whirl of events, circumstances, and ripple-effects that add up to a lot of "we don't know what we don't know," good or bad.
Headline risk is the possibility that a news story will adversely affect the price of an investment, such as a stock or commodity. Headline risk can also impact the performance of a specific sector or the entire stock market.
What would headline risk sound like? Well, underneath housing's simple but challenging narrative talk-track for 2022 – "high demand meets low inventory" – Motley Fool contributor/analysts Jason Hall and Matt Frankel tried to get their heads around a through-line for market rate homebuilders in 2022, taking into account squalls of volatility – inflation, supply chokeholds, interest rates, economic mixed signals – minus the latest blast into the realm of unknown unknowns, Russia's Ukraine invasion. Here's a snippet of what they sounded like on Feb. 11.
Matt Frankel: I think there's a lot of moving parts in the homebuilding space that we just haven't seen before.
Hall: Right.
Frankel: I don't think we've ever seen an environment where the price of lumber has had such a wide range over the past year or so.
Hall: Yeah.
Frankel: I don't think that's ever happened. From bottom to top, it's like a 4x in lumber costs over the past year. I don't think we've ever seen this type of labor shortage in the U.S., at least in my lifetime, and this much wage pressure. I can never remember since I started work when I was 15. I don't remember wage pressure like this. A lot of different moving parts that you spoke about as having had to deal with or at least for decades haven't had to deal with.
Hall: They're more extreme than usual. I mean, it gets back to the basics of the three Ls. Labor, lumber, and land. The variability of that is a real challenge right now.
Frankel: Having said that, I am worried about it a little bit long-term. I think of it as more of a big short-term challenge, and I'll tell you why. A lot of these home builders have massive backlogs because of what's been going on in 2021. They've already agreed on a contract price for those homes. In some cases, it's like a year's worth of building that they've already committed to at a certain price, so they are at the mercy of materials' costs. They are at the mercy of labor availability and wage pressure and things like that. Margins could definitely be under pressure in 2022 more than people are expecting because of all of those moving parts that are existing on homes that they've already committed to sell for a certain price.
Net, net, these two pretty knowledgeable, evidence based analysts are battling to get an understanding of nearer-term impact factors on market valuations, versus the enterprises' structural ability to produce value and investment returns over a longer haul.
Overplaying the noise and temporary disturbances of the present versus squaring with an overarching, defining framework, i.e. high demand meets low inventory, would distort the outlook unhelpfully. Sacramento Appraisal blogger Ryan Lundquist of Lundquist Appraisal Company concludes a briefing on real estate doom and gloomsayers with two recommendations here:
1) Know the numbers: Pay attention to actual stats and let the numbers form your perspective and narrative. Ultimately, without a good sense of seasonal trends and current stats, it's easy to get tossed around by each new sensational headline. Moreover, a quick way to lose credibility in real estate is to habitually share articles that lack merit. I know, that sounds so judgy, but it's the truth. If you feel like you're not in tune with stats in your market, maybe start pulling them yourself, find a few people who are doing a good job (and devour their stuff), or even check out what a source like Redfin puts out there.
2) Read mostly everything: I recommend reading from a variety of sources and following lots of different people who talk about housing. Having a well-rounded perspective is important as a system of checks and balances too. On a related note, if someone has a positive-only or negative-only housing outlook, don't waste your time. All that said, I appreciate hearing what Ivy Zelman has to say lately because she's been more contrarian than most other housing analysts (which piques my curiosity). Some of my favorite housing voices include Calculated Risk, Altos Research, Odeta Kushi, Jonathan Miller, Len Kiefer, Daryl Fairweather, Steven Thomas (SoCal), Patrick Carlisle (Bay Area), etc…
So, while the jury's out on whether the huge events of the moment will meaningfully alter the "high demand meets low inventory" characterization of the business outlook, we'll stick here to what we can track and what works as bulwarks of strategic focus, good times or bad: Consumers and leadership.
Watch Consumer Moods
Yes, consumer spending's latest January 2022 reading "rose briskly." Savings rates – a factor that plays a role in down payments and closing costs -- have tailed downward, well off a pandemic era peak to the lowest savings rate recorded since 2013, and in a high-inflation consumer environment, consumer worry over finances has begun to mute exuberance.
Here's a January pulse reading, from a New York Times|Momentive consumer survey, with five key highlights:
Consumer confidence sinks to its lowest-ever score, 41 out of 100, ticking down from the previous low of 42 at the end of last year (poll has been running since Jan. 2017)
The pandemic weighs heavily on savings: fully half (50%) of adults report depleted savings compared with before the pandemic; that's triple the proportion that's boosted their savings (16%).
The ongoing burden of Covid-19 is widespread: 40% of adults say their families are worse off financially now than prior to the pandemic.
Pay raises struggle to beat out inflation: 55% of workers received a pay raise in the past year, yet 41% say their raise hasn't kept up with inflation
Inflation concerns remain nearly universal: 89% are concerned about inflation, roughly unchanged from December 2021 (88%)
Source: St. Louis Fed FRED/University of Michigan
Here are the two monthly standards of consumer confidence and sentiment, The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index and the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment benchmark. Both reflect declines during the past 36 month period, not only from a decade-long upward trajectory prior to the onset of COVID-19's impacts in early 2020, but further deterioration, to levels lower than any readings since December 2011.
Whether consumer confidence lags or leads homebuying and housing activity has been subject for argument. Factors that typically impact sentiment – jobs, payment power, economic mobility – have at least a tinge of uncertainty around them in a shifting and heaving high-volatility marketplace where the single common denominator constant is a generational swelling of household-forming late 20s-through-early 40-year-olds and a growing share of 55-plus year-olds on the move to fuss-free, connected and amenitized community living.
Whether those common denominator constants get swayed by the course of turbulent events in ways that impact structural demand is a coin toss, and few strategists with deep experience expect profoundly disruptive or lasting effects.
So, leadership priorities center on consistency, and skill at unifying and aligning both team members and partners around a simple shared goal. Berkshire Hathaway ceo Warren Buffett and the company's vice chairman Charlie Munger, right up to the latest letter to shareholders, remain a font of wisdom on how leaders can remain truly present amidst the fray of external disturbances and disruptions.
Buffett writes:
Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but you will exit thinking more clearly."
In another leadership gem – one whose timeliness amidst tumult and distraction offers a business true north – from this year's letter Buffett talks in the first person to the second person "you," a shareholder. Homebuilders and their residential real estate and construction partner business leaders might simply interpret the "you" in this case slightly more broadly, to include not just their shareholders, but homebuying and renting customers, localities, partner firms, and team members. Buffett writes:
I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction --— working for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and I ..."
For times like these, when headline risk comes a mile a minute, leadership presence around clarity and trust – the work builders stand for – can help weather the storm.

For individuals who have let their spending overtake their income, debt consolidation loans may be the right answer. Debt levels that are out of control might be from crises that occur such as loss of income, economic climate or poor financial management techniques. If you have decided that consolidation is the best solution for your situation, you can apply for unsecured debt consolidation and personal loans at credit-debt-consolidation-loans.com.
Applying for credit debt consolidation loans is a process that should not be undertaken lightly. It can have long term effects on your credit history. If you decide that this is the route to follow, make sure you understand what is involved and what the total cost of the consolidation process will be.
By agreeing to apply for bad credit debt consolidation loans, you should know precisely the cost of the existing loans and the cost of the potential consolidation. You may be able to structure the terms to reduce your monthly payment, but only at the cost of increasing the length of time you will be paying on the loan. If you keep your monthly payment the same and are able to reduce the interest rate, the new loan could be very beneficial.
When you take out personal debt consolidation loans, they should always be accompanied by a plan that helps you to reduce your spending and gets you back on the path to financial profitability. This path may require tightening the belts for a short time. Continuing to spend at the same level without making adjustments to increase income is unrealistic. To get your credit history cleaned up, you should be certain that you can make the payments of the new loan consistently and in full.
Using unsecured debt consolidation loans may look like a good answer to overwhelming debt, but few people are able to show the self-discipline to make better financial decisions. If you need to get counseling for making the best decisions, there are agencies that are willing to provide services free of charge. Learning how to budget and to live within a budget can give you a much better financial future.
When you are ready to take action, you can apply for unsecured debt consolidation and personal loans at credit-debt-consolidation-loans.com and get quick loans without all the hassle. According to spokespersons for the lenders, "We can provide personal loans up to $100,000 to people with bad credit." Borrowers can use a loan of this type to help with a clean start toward financial security.

South Moravia tenders passenger services
CZECH REPUBLIC: The South Moravia regional government has launched a competitive tendering process to select the future operator of all subsidised train services in the region, which surrounds the country's second city of Brno. The five-year contract would start on January 1 2020, when the current 10-year deal with national operator ČD ends.
Bids for the contract with an estimated value of KC5·6bn are to be submitted by the end of February. Price will be allocated a 77% weighting in evaluation of the bids. Other criteria will include the type of rolling stock used, with low-floor entrances, air-conditioning and free wi-fi considered desirable.
Bidders must have operated at least 1 million train-km in the past three years, a requirement which is met by all the major domestic operators including RegioJet, LEO Express, Arriva and GWTR. The operator will have to secure rolling stock for all of the services except suburban routes S2 Křenovice–Brno–Blansko–Březová nad Svitavou and S3 Níhov–Tišnov–Brno–Břeclav, where the regional government plans to acquire 36 new EMUs using KC5·5bn of funding from the EU's Operational Programme Transport 2.
ČD orders RegioPanter EMUs
CZECH REPUBLIC: National operator ČD has ordered nine Škoda Vagónka Class 650 RegioPanter 3 kV DC/25 kV AC electric multiple-units for delivery by December 2018. This will take ČD fleet of RegioPanter Class 440, 640 and 650 EMUs to 37.
RegioJet partners with GKB to enter the Austrian market
AUSTRIA: Czech open access operator RegioJet is to enter the Austrian passenger market with the launch of four daily Wien – Břeclav – Brno – Praha return services from the December 2017 timetable change. The inter-city services would have 'the best prices on the market', RegioJet said, with its onboard ...
South Bohemia operating contract award approved
CZECH REPUBLIC: GW Train Regio subsidiary GW Jihotrans expects to take over the operation of subsidised regional passenger services on three lines in the Šumava mountains in December 2017, after the Brno supreme court ruled on November 4 that the regional authority can proceed with signing the contract.

AMHERST, Mass.—So many times over the summer, Nik Stauskas fired up YouTube under orders from Brett Brown, searched for early clips of one of the toughest and most cerebral players from those dynastic San Antonio Spurs teams, and marveled at Manu Ginobili's ability to snake into the lane to make the perfect play.
"He was almost slippery out there," Stauskas said late Tuesday morning, after the 76ers finished a shootaround at the Mullins Center here. "That was the thing I noticed more than anything. He would get into the lane, and people would step in front of him, and all of a sudden he would slip by them and finish at the rim and get all kinds of crafty.
"Also, his playmaking ability—he was a great passer. He would get into the lane and throw passes to his teammates and make plays—not to mention he could shoot the ball, too. Just seeing all those different things, that's something I can aspire to."
Gradually, the more Stauskas watched the clips, the more his mind expanded with the possibilities of the NBA player he could and had to become. No longer could he merely stand on the perimeter and consign himself to being a spot-up shooter. In fact, his future at basketball's highest level depended on his doing more.
So just hours before the Sixers announced that Ben Simmons — in a phrase now treated with skepticism when it comes from them — "had undergone successful surgery" on the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, Brown gave a surprising answer to a question about what the Sixers would do without Simmons' ball-handling skills. With guard Jerryd Bayless likely to miss Tuesday's preseason opener against the Boston Celtics, with rookie guard Cat Barber having suffered a right wrist injury Monday at practice, Brown said he might hand off some point-guard-style responsibilities to Stauskas against the Celtics and in games to come.
For all those years that Brown, the Sixers' head coach, was at Gregg Popovich's side in San Antonio, the Spurs had wielded Ginobili in the same way: not as a full-time point guard, but as a playmaker whose adeptness at running the pick-and-roll freed him to create shots for himself and his teammates and made him a giant of international basketball and a surefire inductee into the Naismith Hall of Fame.
Stauskas had played a similar style in a similar system at Michigan. There, coach John Beilein had used him frequently in pick-and-roll situations, and at 6-foot-6, Stauskas could either shoot over or zoom past the smaller, slower guards of the Big Ten.
"Obviously, the NBA is a different story," Stauskas said, "and I still haven't adjusted fully like I did in college, but there's no reason why I can't eventually get there."
You have to admire Stauskas' optimism, based on the available evidence. Over his two seasons in the NBA, he had grown passive, his 3-point percentage a ghastly .325, his confidence fading with each front-rimmed jumper. Throughout the offseason, whenever he spoke to Stauskas, Brown challenged him to return for training camp with thicker emotional and physical hides. It was more than getting in the weight room and adding bulk to his body. It was about the understanding and the willingness to put himself in uncomfortable positions on the court, to withstand the hellacious contact that accompanies every drive to the basket. If he wanted to justify, finally, the Sacramento Kings' decision to select him with the No. 8 pick in the 2014 draft, somewhere within himself, Stauskas had to find the same tenaciousness and intelligence that Brown saw from Ginobili every night.
"He's going to have to, or he's not Manu, and we can all just walk away right now," Brown said. "We're all born different ways, and I want him to be Cocky Nik. I want him to have an edge to his game."
But does Stauskas have that edge?
"I know you can extract it," he said. "If people were born with those qualities, it sure helps. You might get to it sooner, but I think we're talking about what confidence does as a launching pad to those other things we're talking about. It's the fuel to it all. You start making shots and making plays, I think there's a bravado and a carryover to everything. We've talked a lot with him about coming back physically—feel good about going shirts and skins. Then you've got a little bounce. You make a shot. Give me the ball. I see all those things being a recipe to producing more cockiness, more swagger."
Nobody mentions Stauskas among the players who are supposed to be here when the Sixers, after all this rebuilding and all those injuries, start to coalesce into a competitive basketball team. His exclusion from that core speaks to how deep a disappointment he has been so far, especially for a lottery pick. In that trade in which Sam Hinkie acquired the Kings' 2018 first-round pick and the right to swap first-round selections with the Kings this year and next year, Stauskas hasn't been much more valuable to the Sixers than the two throw-in veterans who came with him: Carl Landry and Jason Thompson.
But there is still time for him to become a contributor here, and it starts Tuesday night against the Celtics with a new role, with his growth into a tougher player with a more diversified game. It starts with those flickering scenes on his laptop and smart-phone screens, with a standard that a great San Antonio Spur set and that Nik Stauskas' head coach has dared him to meet.


In my last post, I talked about how humble and well mannered the people of Rajasthan were.
Well. its not just the ordinary people, I had a humbled experience with the members of the Royal family too. We were visiting the Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur. we were awestruck by the large fort and the various rooms inside the palace. We were totally immersed into it. It was about to sunset so we were hurried by the palace guards to finish the tour and move out. I captured some beautiful sunset photos on my return and was walking towards the exit.
We were suddenly stopped and held near the exit by two security guards. I also saw a police woman doing patrol in the surrounding area. I was wondering why they halted us. My rest of the tour group has crossed the exit and waiting on the outside!. I asked the guard why he stopped us.
He said 'Maharaj aa raha hain. Side pe ho jao'.
He is saying that 'the king is coming, move to the side, dont stand in the way'. I was like -'well there is no more King rule in the country, anyhow lets wait and see'. Then I saw a man aged 60+ years, dressed up like ordinary people walking down the entrance. Few steps before him was another lady of same age, walking swiftly with two foreigners. The lady and the foreigners were saluted by the Guards. I was observing the lady and the guard told that she is the queen. To be honest, she was dressed nothing like a royal. She was wearing a Saree that is probably made of cotton but of high quality cotton. No rich jewellery or accessories. They walked past us and went towards the temple in the campus. There was a foreigner couple standing next to me who were also looking at them with excitement. Then came the man near to us. I then thought 'this must be the king whose photo we saw in the museum today. The current king of Jodhpur, ofcourse technically not the ruler now'. He also wore a turban like other Rajasthani men, and wore simple white clothing. He looked at us and did a 'Namaste' guesture with his hands.
I was too awestruck! I didnt expect this from a Royal family member. Usually it will be the other way- people bend and say namaste to Royals. The foreigner couple standing next to me did a perfect 'namaste'. I was too dumbstruck that I didnt respond back with the 'namaste' (I feel sorry for that now). But at that moment I was surprised by his guesture! Truly, a great experience which I never expected from the member of Royal Family. I was so happy that he was humble and respected the people at the sametime ashamed that I didnt return back the respect!
So folks, that was really a great experience. What do you think?

We stop speculating, worrying, and trying to figure things out. We stop running through scenarios in our mind and instead, still ourselves before the Mighty One who already has it figured out.
In the quiet, in the stillness, He returns to His rightful place of authority. By our rest, we acknowledge that our best attempts will never hold a candle to one simple word from Him.
He's already in tomorrow, next week, and next month. He's got it all figured out. And He will show us the way forward. If we'll ask Him, He will reveal what we need to know when we need to know it.
We don't have to have the answers. We don't have to know the solution to the complicated mess. He knows. He's got it. And He's fathering us in the midst of all the uncertainty and moving parts.

Q: Serving a "Hello World" page using Flask and Apache/mod_wsgi on Ubuntu server NOTE: I've found five questions regarding broken "hello world on flask/mod_wsgi" implementations. I have looked through all of them, and can't find the solution to my own broken implementation.  So please don't be too hasty to close this question as a duplicate.
I'm administering a cloud Ubuntu VM. Currently it's running a LAMP stack. In my webroot I've got a mediawiki and a few HTML files like http://pipad.org/ball/multiball.html -- everything is running okay.
Now I'm trying to have http://pipad.org/foo serve a page dynamically generated by a Python backend, using Flask and Apache/mod_wsgi.
Unfortunately navigating my browser to http://pipad.org/foo results in "URL not found".
Here are my files:
pi@PiDroplet:~/web/piFlask$ pwd
/home/pi/web/piFlask

pi@PiDroplet:~/web/piFlask$ ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  628 May 15 02:37 apache.conf
-rwxrwxr-x 1 pi   pi    153 May 15 02:39 piFlask.py
-rwxrwxr-x 1 pi   pi    379 May 15 02:38 piFlask.wsgi
drwxrwxr-x 5 pi   pi   4096 May 14 09:06 venv

piFlask.py
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World!'

# if __name__ == '__main__':
#    app.run()

piFlask.wsgi
# http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/deploying/mod_wsgi/#creating-a-wsgi-file
# http://www.enigmeta.com/2012/08/16/starting-flask/

import os, sys

PROJECT_DIR = '/home/pi/web/piFlask'

activate_this = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'bin', 'activate_this.py')
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_DIR)

from piFlask import app as application

apache.conf
pi@PiDroplet:~/web/piFlask$ cat apache.conf
# Look in http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout & find equiv to /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
# for me (Ubuntu) it's /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
#
# append:
#    Include /path/to/this/file

# http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/deploying/mod_wsgi/#configuring-apache
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName pipad.org

    WSGIDaemonProcess piFlask user=pi group=pi threads=5
    WSGIScriptAlias /foo /home/pi/web/piFlask/piFlask.wsgi

    <Directory /home/pi/web/piFlask>
        WSGIProcessGroup piFlask
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And as per the comment in the above config file, ...
pi@PiDroplet:~/web/piFlask$ tail -n 2 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Include /home/pi/web/piFlask/apache.conf

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

A: You probably have to set APPLICATION_ROOT variable to '/foo' in Flask config.
piFlask.py
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['APPLICATION_ROOT'] = '/foo'

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World!'

A: This should fix it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Note:

*

*http://pipad.org/ - right now gives me access to your directory structure one level above piFlask.

*In Flask you have defined only "/" route. So I am not sure how you expect "/foo" to work. Refer this.

The oil spill plaguing San Francisco Bay has raised fresh questions about the changing mission of the U.S. Coast Guard, with critics Monday saying the agency's new homeland security duties have eroded its ability to tackle such environmental disasters.
In recent years, Coast Guard staff and institutional emphasis have been shifted more toward port and coastal protection duties than marine safety and environmental response. Meanwhile, important equipment used in spill response has aged, insiders say, and training drills -- routine in the years after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska -- are fewer and farther between.
Last March, the Coast Guard disbanded its department that helped set up those oil-spill response exercises and reassigned more than a dozen people to homeland security duties.
Coast Guard officials have defended their efforts over the last week, saying they launched a quick and decisive spill response after the cargo vessel Cosco Busan sideswiped the San Francisco-Bay Bridge on Wednesday and began leaking 58,000 gallons of sticky, heavy bunker fuel.
But they also have acknowledged that they failed to quickly grasp the magnitude of the spill -- originally thought to be only 140 gallons -- or to make a timely report to local officials and the public, who remained largely in the dark for a dozen hours after the accident.
If errors were made, "we'll be held accountable," said Rear Adm. Craig Bone, the Coast Guard's top officer in California. "We're responsible. And we'll make the changes that need to be made."
Over the weekend, the National Transportation Safety Board took over the accident investigation from the Coast Guard and promised to review the initial response. The U.S. attorney in San Francisco has also stepped in to see if civil or criminal charges are warranted against the ship's crew or owners.
The investigation has so far focused on human error, but NTSB officials said Monday the board was also looking at a possible equipment malfunction and a language gap between the Chinese crew and the English-speaking pilot. An attorney for Capt. John Cota, the local mariner assigned to pilot the ship out of the bay, said Monday that the radar was broken. In addition, the attorney said, the ship's captain -- who ceded control of the vessel to Cota in the bay -- provided incorrect information from the navigation system.
"He was left hanging out there in the fog," said the attorney, John Meadows of San Francisco.
The Coast Guard, meanwhile, remains under fire from politicians and the media in the San Francisco region, where the Sierra Club has its headquarters -- as well as 55,000 card-carrying members -- and where the namesake bay represents a glistening embodiment of the environmental ethos.
While insisting the spill response could not have been more aggressive, Coast Guard officials admit to a bit of institutional soul-searching.
"After Sept. 11, 2001, we were all about security. Everyone was," said Dan Dewel, a Coast Guard spokesman at the regional headquarters in Alameda.
Now the Coast Guard is looking at tactics and strategies, "trying to find the right mix, balance and structure," Dewel said. "The Coast Guard has to rewire its connections among its different parts so that we can be as flexible and responsive as possible."
If there's been a reduction in operations, he said, "we'll find a way to fix that."
In reshaping its focus after 9/11, critics say, the Coast Guard has let its relationships with port users, shippers and fishermen deteriorate. That is because marine safety and environmental response strategies require close cooperation. Anti-terrorism tactics, however, tend to be secretive and rigid.
"It's changed big-time, in the sense everything now is focused on the war on terror," said Zeke Grader, president of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Assns. A decade ago, Bay Area fishermen were counted on by the Coast Guard to help mop up oil spills. Dozens of fishing boats and anglers were certified to deal with spills, Grader said. "It was like a volunteer fire department kind of thing."
But officials let the program lapse, he said. And when the fishermen approached the Coast Guard to help, they were told not to bother, said Larry Collins, president of the San Francisco Crab Boat Owners Assn.
They hit the water anyway over the weekend after the Port of San Francisco stepped up to get Coast Guard permission. In all, 22 boats have participated since Sunday, dragging big, absorbent pompoms to collect the fuel, Collins said, adding: "We're getting a lot of oil."
Politicians have been touring the spill site in recent days, critiquing the response.
The latest broadside came Monday morning, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and a group of local Democratic lawmakers held a shoreline news conference to announce congressional hearings into the spill and its aftermath.
Though the stated focus was how to prevent such spills in the future, the role of the Coast Guard undoubtedly will be addressed.
"This is an environmental disaster," declared Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Petaluma). In the wake of the accident and the Coast Guard response, Woolsey said, the general public isn't "sure we're as competent as we need to be."
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, announced he would hold a hearing to address oil-spill procedures.
Cummings said he was "very concerned" about the Coast Guard's performance, and said that it was "not adequately prepared to handle a spill of this magnitude."
Although a lead federal responder for oil spills, the Coast Guard is just one of several government entities that step up during such disasters. Others include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Fish and Game's Department of Spill Prevention and Response, the governor's Office of Emergency Services, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Boat operators in Southern California also have complained about a change in the Coast Guard's approach.
With the massive ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to be protected, the Coast Guard seems to be struggling these days, said Long Beach tour boat Capt. Dan Salas.
"It used to be that the only things the Coast Guard had to do was search and rescue," Salas said. "Now they're spread thin."
But, he added, "there are only so many Coast Guard personnel, and if they are looking for terrorists and keeping us safe, it's hard to place blame on them."
Lt. Andy Munoz, spokesman for the Coast Guard's Los Angeles sector, acknowledged there was a sea change after 9/11.
"The Coast Guard's security mission used to be under the radar," he said. "Now, we want the public to see us out there as a deterrent."
But he said his sector still handles two or three small spills a week from pleasure boats sinking at piers. For bigger problems, such as the container vessel that lost 200 gallons of fuel in the Port of Los Angeles a few months ago, it keeps oil-spill response equipment such as booms and skimmers on hand, much of it near sensitive habitat such as the Bolsa Chica wetlands and least tern breeding areas at the port.
Ron Bare, president of Ocean Blue Environmental Services, one of the Port of Los Angeles' largest environmental-response contractors, said spills are more easily contained in the twin harbors' tighter channels than wide-open San Francisco Bay -- and insisted the Coast Guard still could be counted on.
"It's true, they have shifted toward security because it is where the dollars were spent after 9/11," he said. "But they are still capable."
Grader, of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fisherman's Assns., does not agree. He said reports from his fleet indicate that the Coast Guard and the shipping company failed to act swiftly enough to stem the troubles after the massive container ship nudged a tower of the Bay Bridge, ripping a lengthy gash on its port side.
Compared with the 11 million gallons that spilled from the Exxon Valdez, "this one in the scheme of things was fairly minor," Grader said. "But it was made major because they didn't get the containment out there in a timely manner."
By Monday, the spill had tainted beaches nearly all around the bay, and escaped through the Golden Gate to blacken shorelines as far north as Point Reyes National Seashore, far up the Marin County coast. So far, more than 900 birds been found blackened by oil, though 545 have survived with the help of wildlife rescue crews.
Some with inside knowledge of the Coast Guard say it has lost the institutional knowledge to quickly assess spills and react swiftly.
Equipment also is aging. In some regions, the rubber bladders used to store recovered oil are at the end of their service life. Crews are hesitant to use them for fear they'll burst.
Meanwhile, despite federal rules established after the Exxon Valdez disaster that called for oil-spill drills six times annually, the exercises occur rarely. The Coast Guard isn't alone as a target for criticism.
State Senate Leader Don Perata (D-Oakland) on Monday said that the state is "ill-prepared" for spills because Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has failed to make key appointments to regional water boards or fully fund and staff California oil spill prevention programs.

It is impossible to imagine a time when it would be desirable to meet Barca, who include Lionel Messi, but La Liga champions led by Ernesto Valverde have not won in their last three games.

History Hinders Diversification of Portland, Ore.
Amelia Templeton, National Public Radio, February 16, 2011
Oregon is one of only a dozen states where the majority of its residents aren't from there. {snip}
The city's entire population is growing, but Portland is still about 80 percent white, making it one of the most homogeneous metropolitan cities in the country.
Many of the migrants don't have jobs, kids or a mortgage. So why do they keep coming?
'A Mecca for the Misplaced'
Portland has scooped up 20-somethings from shrinking cities in the Northeast and the Midwest. It gets the kids who dream of being in a rock band. But the city has also drawn well-educated young professionals
"Talent is becoming more concentrated in some cities and moving away from other cities," says Joe Cortright, an economist standing in the rain at the food cart.
Twenty years ago, the percent of people with college degrees in Portland was lower than the national average. Now, it's more than 10 points higher–about 40 percent. And Cortright says the grads aren't just coming for high-tech jobs.
Fewer Jobs, Lower Pay, High Migration
Oregon economist Christian Kaylor says he can think of only one explanation for the migration into Portland: the quality of life.
Kaylor says wages there are sometimes 20 percent lower than in Seattle or San Francisco. But people keep coming. In fact, Portland's appeal is part of why the city's unemployment rate tends to be about a point higher than the national average.
"In recessions, Portland tends to see population growth, even as we lose jobs," Kaylor says. "So one of the reasons we have that higher unemployment rate is because people do continue to move here even as jobs disappear."
Kaylor says the city's strong brand as a livable place makes it more attractive to companies, too.
History: What's Kept Portland White?
While Portland companies have a great pool of talent to draw on, it's not a diverse pool. Portland is still about 80 percent white. There are historical reasons for that.
Oregon voted to outlaw slavery, but for 75 years voters also banned blacks from moving there.
During World War II, thousands of African-Americans came to Portland to work in the booming shipyards. But in 1948, the Columbia River flooded and permanently destroyed the neighborhood where the shipbuilders lived.
Today, jobs that offer a livable wage are not in ships, but rather in chips and sneakers–Intel and Nike.
Enrique Washington helps these large firms recruit minority candidates. He says his clients want a diverse staff to help them innovate and connect to consumers.
"The more diverse culture you have, the better your stock prices do," Washington says.
While other cities are getting browner, Washington is bucking the trend.
Washington says Portland is slowly growing more diverse. There's a lot of international migration, and about 10 percent of the city is Hispanic. But he says minority recruits worry there's not a strong community to raise their children in if they relocate to Portland.
Struggling to Attract Diversity
Cities such as Portland that don't have much diversity to start with struggle to attract it.

You've decided that farming is for you, and the next step is to find your own land.
Most land transfers happen out of public view, between people who have some connection. Your network - family, business and education contacts know people who know people. You can tell your contacts what you're looking for. Those who know you and your commitment will be pleased to help with your success.
Beginners won't be able to outbid large, established landowners, but you can offer more than money. You can offer a chance to keep the farm in operation, to continue the legacy. You can keep the farmstead alive, instead of plowed over, so family can continue to visit.
You also can bring a new family to the community, to invigorate the church, school and town businesses. And you can partner with the senior landowner to build the business to greater success together as you, perhaps, bring livestock back to the farm or introduce new enterprises to the existing operation.
Aside from networks, other resources can help. Check out our website, http://www.cfra.org/resources/beginning_farmer, for land matching programs and links to other helpful organizations.
Wyatt Fraas, Center for Rural Affairs' Farm and Community Assistant Director, has spent 20 years advising landowners and beginning farmers on farm asset and business transfer.


If the sun setting over the ocean accompanied by the romantic sound of waves gently rolling up on the beach creates the scene that you want to experience on your wedding day, a beach wedding could be ideal for you. You can easily make your special day into an entire shore setting, whether you are on a real beach or inside a banquet hall. The following beach themed wedding favor ideas and accessories are exactly what you need to turn any area that you utilize for your wedding ceremony into a beautiful ocean of love.
Wedding favors can make your guest tables at the reception into a surfside setting. Beautiful ocean and beach themed candles used for favors will give a romantic glow as part of the place settings. Add nautical place card holders and etched wine coaster wedding favors to your ambient candle wedding favors, and you have a charming beach table setting. You can choose beach themed wedding favors and accessories that fit your style and taste perfectly.
When you are considering a beach themed wedding at an actual beach destination, remember that there are beautiful places on every coast that will host a romantic ceremony and help with details. Locate these through a quick search on the internet or by calling a travel agent. Keep in mind that Mother Nature does not always agree with outdoor wedding plans, whether that be at a beach or a local park, so choose a location that has an indoor space readily available to move your guests as well as your keepsakes out of possible rain or wind if necessary.
Deciding between formal wedding attire or more casual dress for a beach themed wedding is another consideration. The wind on a beach can blow a veil off into the surf, a long gown can drag in the sand, and it can also be quite difficult for a bride to walk in said sand in heels. Check out the lovely beach themed wedding dresses and sandals that can reflect a shore image beautifully and prove more practical. The men in the bridal party may appreciate forgoing tuxedos for more casual jackets and slacks, as well.
With your beach themed wedding favors and your beach wedding attire, your wedding day will be a magical ceremony that will remain in the hearts of your family and friends for years to come.
