Walldorf, 12 February 2019 - The members of the Russian National Association of Milk Producers ("Soyuzmoloko") have elected Stefan Dürr, Chairman of the Board of Ekosem-Agrar AG and President of the Ekoniva Group, as their new Chairman at the 10th Congress of the Association. He replaces Andrey Danilenko, who has held this position for more than ten years.
Russian Minister of Agriculture Dimitriy Patrushev was also present at the congress, which traditionally took place as part of the AgroFarm trade fair in Moscow on 6 February 2019, and commented on the election of the new chairman: "I am convinced that Stefan Dürr will continue the initiatives commenced by Andrey Danilenko with undoubted success. Dairy product manufacturing is crucial for achieving the goals set by the President of the Russian Federation in relation to the development of the agricultural sector and attaining a 2.5-times increase in agricultural exports by 2024. Potentially, milk export can reach from 800 million to one billion dollars by 2025."
The Minister stressed that public financial aid was only one building block for the development of the dairy industry in Russia. The demand for dairy products also had to be increased. As a remedy, Dimitriy Patrushev stated an improvement in product quality and a decisive fight against plagiarism in the dairy industry.
Stefan Dürr thanked the Minister of Agriculture on behalf of the present members of the Association for his commitment and emphasized: "I am looking forward to the special task as chairman of the Soyuzmoloko. The goal is to strengthen and further professionalize the team of the Association in order to implement the manifold tasks quickly and efficiently".
The Russian Association of Milk Producers is a non-profit organisation founded in March 2008 by Russian milk producers. The Association's mission is to ensure cost-effective conditions for milk production, to provide Union members with comprehensive information on the dairy situation, to promote the improvement of milk quality and the efficiency of milk production in Russia, and to represent and protect the interests of Union members towards state and local authorities, public and international organisations.

'Hunger Games' Outpacing 'Twilight' in Advance Ticket Sales
More than 1,000 showtimes have sold out out with a week to go before "Hunger Games"' opens. That's better than the advance sales for 'Twilight'
Tim Kenneally | March 15, 2012 @ 6:21 PM	Last Updated: March 15, 2012 @ 6:24 PM
"The Hunger Games" has eaten into "Twilight"'s glory.
The upcoming adaptation of Suzanne Collins' young-adult novels has sold out more than 1,000 showtimes a week ahead of its March 23 opening. That means it has overtaken advance-ticket sales of the 2008 vampire blockbuster "Twilight" on the online ticket outlet Fandango.com at the same point in that film's sales cycle.
Also read: "Hunger Games" Beats "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" in First-Day Advance Sales
"It's our fastest-selling franchise-opener since 'Twilight'," Rick Butler, general manager and executive vice president of Fandango, said. "The brisk advance ticket sales are a testament to the strength of the incredible marketing campaign which has clearly resonated with fans and even those unfamiliar with the books."

10 Weird Things NASA's Artemis 1 Orion Spacecraft Took To The Moon
NASA without a crew Artemis 1 mission, the first of Artemis program launched on November 16, 2022, carrying an assortment of intriguing cargo into lunar orbit.
From plushies to "torsos," we take a look at the weirdest things heading to the moon and learn why some of them won't return.
To stay up to date with the latest Artemis 1 news, check out our Artemis 1 Live Updates page.

Amazon's famed virtual assistant now has experience in space. Alexa has been in power for over a decade on Earth, controlling many types of devices, such as speakers, phones, and home appliances. And a tech demo on Artemis 1 called Callisto is based on Alexa's prowess.
Callisto was designed to include Cisco's Webex video conferencing software, integrating voice, video and artificial intelligence technology aboard the Orion spacecraft, which was built for NASA by Lockheed Martin. The technology "could be used in the future to allow astronauts to be more autonomous when exploring deep space," said Lisa Callahan, vice president and general manager of commercial civilian space for Lockheed Martin, in a 2022 release exploring applications.
Who let the dogs out?
Snoopy is the zero g mascot of Artemis 1. (Image credit: NASA)
In a throwback to the famous Apollo program, NASA officials let out a very special dog. Snoopy, a star of the Peanuts comics that ran from 1950 to 2000, is the zero-G indicator of the Orion spaceship. The famous beagle landed on the moon in a comic book series in 1969, and the Apollo 10 lunar module was named Snoopy in his honor.
The Artemis 1 Snoopy is in a spacesuit, wearing a replica of the same pressure suit NASA has for its Artemis astronauts. Its association with NASA dates back to 1968 when agency officials asked Peanuts creator Charles Schulz to use the image of the dog as a security mascot. NASA introduced the Silver Snoopy Award that year to honor members of the workforce who have made significant advancements in mission safety and the success of human spaceflight.
LEGO minifigures take a giant leap forward
Four LEGO minifigures are also on board Orion (Image credit: Lego)
Four LEGO minifigures are aboard Orion, cosplaying the NASA astronauts, with a crew of six LEGO ground controllers supporting the group in space. The quartet includes characters 'Kate' and 'Kyle' from the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime system, as well as 'Julia' and 'Sebastian' from the LEGO City toy range.
All four figures are featured in the "Build to Launch: A STEAM Exploration Series" (opens in a new tab)", which includes 10 weeks of digital space and science content on the LEGO Education website (opens in a new tab). Parents, educators, and students can use the figurines to learn about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).
Commander Moonikin Campos and company
Moonikin Arturo Campos is named after an engineer who played a key role in solving the problem of getting three people home safely from the moon during Apollo 13. (Image credit: NASA)
The name of a famous Apollo 13 engineer conveys the dynamic spirit of his lunar mission to the moon. NASA has opened a naming contest for a "moonikin" (a dummy bound for the moon, loaded with two radiation sensors). The winning entry was Arturo Campos, named after an engineer who played a key role in solving the problem of getting three people home safely from the moon after a series of critical glitches beset Apollo 13 in deep space.
Joining Campos are Helga and Zohar, two mannequin torsos from the German space agency (known by its German acronym DLR). Each of the DLR pairs is equipped with 5,600 sensors to measure radiation, and Zohar will wear an AstroRad radiation protection vest.
The three simulated astronauts will show how likely astronauts are to travel outside of the Van Allen radiation belts that shield Earth's lower orbits from radiation. Astronauts are most vulnerable to cosmic rays from deep space as they reach high Earth orbit and beyond, but the risk is still quantified.
A lunar water hunter

NASA is looking for water supplies to allow astronauts to continue on the lunar surface, which is where Lunar IceCube comes in. The cubesat is designed to search for water and other potential resources on the moon, to reduce the amount of gear astronauts need to ship from Earth (and save on cost and hassle.)
Its key instrument is able to search for ice and exospheric water vapor trails (trace of atmosphere). The Lunar IceCube team – led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Morehead State University and the Busek Company – says the tiny cubesat will map resources for future explorers to view.
A giant leap for lamb

In what has been dubbed a "giant leap for the lamb", Shaun the sheep flies far beyond the borders of Shropshire for his eponymous UK children's show. Shaun's journey has been documented in a series of blog posts from the European Space Agency (ESA) (opens in a new tab)including one that showed the "training" of sheep on a parabolic plane.
Shaun, dressed in an ESA flight suit, headed into space for the 15th anniversary of his first TV series in 2007, although his first overall appearance was in 1995 in the short film "A Close Shave". The television series has been seen in 180 countries. Shaun also stars in two feature films, the latest in 2019 starring a visitor from outer space in "A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon."
Boldly go where no yeast has gone before
A cubesat called Biosentinel hitchhiked on Artemis 1. (Image credit: NASA)
Living organisms from Earth were tasked with the deepest space travel yet aboard a cubesat called Biosentinel, which is part of the Artemis 1 manifesto. (Biosentinel did not board Orion; he and nine other cubesats were packed into the upper stage of the SLS.) The effect of space radiation on yeast cells will be quantified in the cubesat's orbit around the sun, which will be quite close to that of Earth.
Yeast cells, like human cells, carry genetic information in double strands of DNA. Cells are thus a model organism to better understand how radiation affects humans exposed to similar conditions.
"We hope we can extrapolate our resource to human biology and inform potential countermeasures for future missions," lead scientist Sergio Santa Maria of NASA's Ames Research Center told BioSentinel in August. 2022.
Dinky Lunar Lander

A tiny nanolander is the only part of the Artemis 1 manifesto tasked with deliberately landing on the moon's surface. It's a small spacecraft, at just 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram), and is designed to fly to the moon after breaking away from a lunar-orbiting cubesat.
Called the Outstanding Lunar Exploration Technologies Demonstrated Semi-Hard Nano Impactor (OMOTENASHI), the landing technology leverages the experience gained by its manufacturer, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). During the Hayabusa2 mission, JAXA successfully deployed a series of landers to the asteroid Ryugu, which has lower gravity than the moon but similar dusty conditions.
A solar-powered asteroid hunter
Cubesat NEA (Near-Earth Asteroid) Scout will use a solar sail to travel to a target asteroid. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Another cubesat, NEA (Near-Earth Asteroid) Scout will use a solar sail to travel to a target asteroid. During its approximately two-year mission, NEA Scout will image the asteroid with NEACam, a 20-megapixel image sensor, to learn more about the asteroid's rotation, shape, dust and position in space.
The image data will help future asteroid missions land and could also tell scientists more about the formation and evolution of these space rocks. Learning about asteroids is helpful because they represent the remaining building blocks of the solar system early in its history, about 4.5 billion years ago before the formation of Earth and other planets.
A water-powered spacecraft
The EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U (EQUULEUS) spacecraft will explore radiation in an orbit between the Earth and the Moon. (Image credit: JAXA/University of Tokyo)
The EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U (EQUULEUS) spacecraft, another JAXA entry with the help of the University of Tokyo, is designed to explore radiation in an orbit between the Earth and the Moon. The cubesat has a new water propulsion system that allows it to minimize conventional fuel consumption.
Mission leaders collect data on the plasmasphere, which is the inner region of the magnetosphere. This area has a "cold" plasma, which refers to a gas with atoms devoid of electrons. It is a potentially useful radiation experiment and can also help plan low-energy lunar flybys on future missions.

…dary! Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has a website. So far all that is there is this glowing picture of Neil Patrick Harris all Dr. Horrible suited up. For those of you have no idea what the @#%$ I am talking about, here is what you need to know.
Joss Whedon announced today, special Internet Musical.
Whedon reports that during the WGA strike he started writing the musical which will be a limited internet series. Each of the three episodes will be approximately ten minute each.
Co-writers for the internet feature are Joss' brothers Zack and Jed and Jed's Fiancé Maurissa. The writing has been completed and shooting commenced today.
"It's the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he's too shy to talk to." Says Whedon.
"Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" will star Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.
I know! Awsome! There has yet to be a premiere date set but, Joss has said it will be before Comicon, which I think is in August. And with the website up there is further proof that it is actually happening. I am giddy!
I admit, I might be a little giddy about that too.

Try this 5-minute workout three times a day and you'll notice a difference in strength in your entire body. So worth it.
Can you spare five minutes? Of course you can. This workout is just five basic exercises, 20 reps of each, done three times a day. Pick three times that work for you such as before getting in the shower in the morning, right before eating lunch at noon, and before hopping into bed at night. That's all, and you'll soon notice a difference in strength in your entire body.
Come into plank position with your arms and legs straight, shoulders above the wrists. If this is too difficult, do this exercise with your knees on the floor.
Take a breath in, and as you exhale, bend your elbows out to the sides and lower your chest toward the ground. Stop as soon as your shoulders are in line with your elbows. Inhale to straighten the arms.
This counts as one rep. Complete 20.
Lie facedown on your stomach with the arms and legs extended. Keep your neck in a neutral position.
Keeping your arms and legs straight (but not locked) and torso stationary, simultaneously lift your arms and legs up toward the ceiling to form an elongated "u" shape with your body -- your back arches and the arms and legs lift several inches off the floor.
Hold for two seconds, and lower back down to complete one.
Do a set of 20.
Grab a block, and roll onto your back. If you don't have a block, use your shoe, or use nothing at all. Engage your core, and actively press your spine toward the floor.
Place the block between your feet, and on an exhale, slowly and simultaneously lower your hands and feet toward the floor, making sure your back is flush with the floor the entire time. If you find this is too difficult, bend your knees slightly.
Stop once your hands and feet are a few inches from the ground, then inhale as you slowly raise them back up, reaching for the block.
Grab the block with your hands, flex your feet, and lower your hands and feet again until they are a few inches from the floor.
Rise back up, and pass the block to your feet. This counts as one rep.
Complete 10 reps (which means lowering the legs 20 times).
Start in a side plank position with the right hand and outside edge of the right foot pressing into the floor, flexed feet stacked.
Either rest your top hand on your upper hip or extend it in the air. Keeping your spine lengthened and your abs engaged, slowly lift your left leg up just higher than your top hip. Then slowly lower it back to your bottom leg.
Do 10 reps on each side for a total of 20 reps.
Inhale to rise back up, straightening the legs completely, squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement to get the most out of the exercise.
For an added punch, do 20 pulses in the lowered position.

Q: Does Immutability and Singleton solves the same purpose? What I have read is Immutability means the value once assigned remains constant, i.e. once assigned, it is reflected as the same value across the code.
Mostly Immutability is using in Functional Programming paradigm in multi threaded environment.
But.
Does singleton pattern also solves the same purpose,
Please find below of singleton written in java,
 package com.main;

class Student{
  private Student(){

  }
  public static Student INSTANCE;
  static{
    INSTANCE = new Student();
  }

  private String name;

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  @Override
  public String toString(){
    return "Student is "+this.name;
  }
}

public class SingletonTest {

  /**
   * @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Student student = Student.INSTANCE;
    student.setName("Arnold");

    student = Student.INSTANCE;
    student.setName("Kevin");

    student = Student.INSTANCE;
    student.setName("Jim");

    student = Student.INSTANCE;
    student.setName("Falcon");

    student = Student.INSTANCE;
    student.setName("Sarvik");

    student = Student.INSTANCE;
    System.out.println(student);

  }

}

The output of the above code is
Student is Sarvik

In an same way, I have written singleton in javaScript as well,
as follows
var Student = (function(){
  var name = "";
  var obj = {
    setName : function(studentName){
        name = studentName;
    },
    getName : function(){
        return name;
    }
  }

  return {
    INSTANCE : obj
  }
})();

var student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Arnold")

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Kevin");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Jim");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Falcon");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Sarvik");

student = Student.INSTANCE;

console.log("Student is "+student.getName());

the output is as follows
rahul@rahul:~/myPractise/JavaScript-DesignPatterns$ node singleton.js
Student is Sarvik
rahul@rahul:~/myPractise/JavaScript-DesignPatterns$

In both (i.e. javaScript and java) implementation of Singleton pattern
you can see that the state of object remains same, it doesn't change.
Even if we reset the value of object,
the output gives the latest reset value.
So does using Singleton pattern I attained Immutability in my code of object "Student" ?

A: Not really.
Immutable class also doesn't mean you cannot create more objects of the same immutable class. For singleton, usually one instance per JVM is necessary for it to be called singleton.
Immutable means the value once assigned cannot be changed, so usually you won't have setter methods in immutable, but no such requirement is there for singleton. But a singleton is more from memory perspective, only one instance will live. You cannot change the instance , but you can use the singleton to hold whatever value you want and you can change it at any point in time as well.
e.g. we used singleton class as a service locator. We could change the services at any given point in time based on our need. For the same thing, I can create 2 objects of immutable class with same variables, but holding different values.
Hope this helps.

A: No: singleton-ness and immutability are orthogonal. A singleton can be mutable or immutable; a non-singleton can be mutable or immutable.
However, a singleton must be thread-safe if used in multiple threads; immutable objects are inherently thread-safe.

Your Student class is approximately singleton, but not immutable: any class where you have a setter method that mutates a member variable cannot be immutable.
However, your Student class is not thread-safe, or even safe:

*

*You can mutate the value of name, but there is no guarantee about the visibility of the name field in other threads: because you don't synchronize access to the variable (or use an AtomicReference, or volatile), it is possible that one thread can update the name, but other threads continue to see the old value. As such, you might observe thread interference effects.

*It is possible for users of the class to null out the INSTANCE field, meaning that anybody who attempts to access the value of the field at any time must first check if it is null. This is easy to fix by making the field final; but it's better simply to make the class into a single-element enum.

A: First of all, the singleton example you have given, is not actually a singleton.
The singleton patterns force you to use only one object per class throughout the application. In your example, one can create as many objects as possible.
Forcing single object creation can be achieved using private constructor and providing 'INSTANCE' every time whenever request for the object comes to that class using some static method say getInstance().
Immutability has different purpose. Its mostly related to the security of an object, e.g. once object is created you can not change its state.
Its obvious you have to provide the state while creating that object. I mean you need a parametric constructor to assign a permanent state to that object.
So basic difference is:
Singleton: You can not have more that one object at any case.(unlike immutable object , you are not restricted to state change but mostly you are not suppose to change singleton object's state)
Immutability: You can not change the state of object at any case, but you can have as many object as heap permits ;-)

A: You student class is all but immutable. The public setName() of the Student class prevents that states be immutable. An immutable object provides no way to change its state.

if your object was immutable, your student instance Student.INSTANCEcould not change its name. But, you changes its name several times. And your systemOut at the end confirms the mutability : the last name "setted" is displayed by the toString() method.
Student student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Arnold");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Kevin");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Jim");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Falcon");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
student.setName("Sarvik");

student = Student.INSTANCE;
System.out.println(student);

Besides, if an immutable object want to provide operations related to state modifications, it will not apply to the instance itself, it returns rather a new instance of object with this new state.

test negative they can stay in school instead of quarantining at home. the fiser today says it will evaluate a third dose of its covid vaccine currently in trial for toddlers six months to under five years of age. that's two doses of the lower dose vaccine did not result in the same protection as it did in older age groups pfizer is also testing booster shots for children ages 5 through 15. students left for the holidays public schools in san francisco reminded families to have their children tested for covid a day or two before they returned to the classroom on january 3rd abc 7 news senior education reporter liam. melendez is in the newsroom with what parents should know about the testing process leanne. well, i'm a one thing they should know is that testing is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. you can buy a rapid test or you can go to district headquarters to get tested the
school resumes on the last day of school before the winter break students at lao elementary in san francisco. had one last assignment to remember to get lasted before coming back in january. we want to make sure that they test forivth to the negative result so that they can come back to the schools and be safe. and so that we have a safer community seven year old. chloe deville has done it before it's heard but it doesn't make me cry during the holidays many families gather in large groups or even travel those who are flying are urged to test three to five days after returning home another recommendation made by the local health department is to continue wearing masks during the break. and get the covid vaccine chloe has already gotten her first shot. i'd say that it's important because if you don't get it you
could get the coronavirus. anyways, even with the mask. the principal gloria choi told us the school has taken extensive measures to stay healthy and we have hand sanitizers after they finish eating we spray the tables and you know the eating area we're always reminding students wash your hands. sanitized so everything is made available for them. testing will be offered at school district headquarters on sunday, january 2nd from 9 to 4:00 and on monday for other schools will also have testing that week. oh thathathathathat if you're not sure where to get. tested the school district has the testing locations and dates. on their website, but for now enjoy the holidays and stay safe in the newsroom leanne melendez abc 7 news. you too, leanne.

A World without Poverty: a view from Brazil
World without Poverty is an initiative that aims to share Brazil's learnings on reducing poverty with other developing countries and domestically.[1] In November 2014 a conference was held in Brasília to provide an opportunity to reflect on the country`s experience of social policies and poverty eradication, and reflect on the relevance of the Brazilian case for other countries.
Brazil's progress on poverty
At the meeting, Teresa Campello who heads the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger summarised Brazil's successes in reducing poverty. Brazil has more than halved the number of people considered in extreme poverty (based on having enough income to cover basic food needs) from 25.5 million in 2001 to 10.5 million people in 2013.[2] The Minister was confident that this was a solid trend, despite an increase of around 400,000 people between 2012 and 2013. This form of extreme poverty differs from the international poverty line of $1.25 a day, but as the chart shows both have fallen in recent years.
Brazil halved extreme poverty between 2001 and 2013

Inequality in Brazil has also declined, as a decrease in the Gini index (a widely used measure of inequality) has demonstrated . While Brazil remains one of the most unequal countries in the world, the Gini coefficient fell from 59.0 to 52.7 between 1999 and 2012.[3]
The role of the Bolsa Família programme
The Minister argued that the Bolsa Família cash transfer programme plays an important role in reducing extreme poverty in Brazil. Established in 2003 to complement other social programmes, it transfers funds directly to families living below R$77 (regarded as extremely poor) and R$154 (regarded as poor), subject to meeting certain conditions regarding health checks and school attendance for children.[4] The programme is a founding component of a model of development that puts social inclusion at the core of the national agenda.
Brazil without Misery
In 2011, Brazil launched the three-pillared Brasil sem Miséria plan (Brazil without Misery) to eradicate extreme poverty by 2014. Bolsa Família is a component of the income pillar, along with other targeted transfers. The other two pillars are access to services (such as housing, education and health) and productive inclusion, which enhances capacities and opportunities for people in poverty to earn their own income, in both cities and rural areas.
The Brasil sem Miséria beneficiaries are selected through cadastro único, the country's single registry that records all households that qualify to receive support.[5] Being registered does not guarantee access to benefits, but the register provides an essential map of needs that other institutions can use to implement social policies more effectively.
Learnings for other countries
Brazil's experience can be useful to other countries committed to end poverty, but which particular elements are relevant is important. They vary according to national priorities and conditions.
Countries where poverty is still prevalent may focus on measures that improve the situation in the short term, such as Bolsa Família. Countries where income poverty is already falling may want to look at more comprehensive approaches that include programmes for income generation and improving access to public services, such as the Brasil sem Miséria.
Countries could also learn from the current challenges that Brazil faces in order to better plan their own approach. The World without Poverty panellists suggested that further steps for Brazil should include improvements to the labour market, public services and public management, and should foster social participation.
Other countries may have similar challenges as well as good solutions to share. Expanding opportunities for knowledge sharing and harnessing development cooperation partnerships could accelerate the adoption of adequate solutions to end poverty.
[1] The initiative is promoted by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), Secretariat of Strategic Affairs of the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil, the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger, the International Policy Center for Inclusive Growth, the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank.
[2] Brazil uses different administrative poverty lines, but does not have an official one. The line referred in text is calculated estimating the value of a basic food basket covering minimum calories requirements per person, as established by the FAO and WHO. Values vary by region in Brazil. IPEA data: http://www.ipeadata.gov.br/
[3] World Development Indicators: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI. The Gini coefficient measures the extent to which income distribution between individuals or groups differs from a perfectly equal distribution. The higher the index, more unequal is the distribution; the lower the index, more equal is the distribution. A value of 100 indicates a perfectly unequal distribution, a value of zero a perfectly equal distribution.

Teachers' Remuneration
Jan O'Sullivan
269. Deputy Jan O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of allowances previously available to teachers which were removed following a review of allowances during the recession; the estimated annual saving through the reduction of these allowances; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18639/19]
As a consequence of the economic crisis, there was a need to enact a number of measures to reduce public expenditure so as to stabilise the country's public finances.
The last Government approved a number of measures relating to public service allowances following a public service-wide review of allowances and premium payments conducted by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. As a result of the Government decision, certain allowances were withdrawn for new beneficiaries with effect from 1 February 2012. The details are set out in my Department's Circular 08/2013.
Any person who was in receipt of the relevant allowances on 31 January 2012 will continue to be paid that allowance except where the teacher ceases that job role or changes school or employer on or after 1 February 2012. Where a teacher is redeployed under the agreed redeployment scheme, this will not be regarded as a cessation.
As part of the public service-wide review of allowances, the Government withdrew all qualification allowances for teachers' appointed from the 1st February, 2012.
As a result of the September 2016 Agreement with Unions, revised salary scales which include the equivalent of the value of the Honours' Primary Degree allowance have been applied from 1 January 2018 to teachers recruited since 1 January 2011. A registered teacher now commences on an annual salary of over €36,318 under the Public Service Stability Agreement 2018 - 2020. The starting salary for a registered teacher commencing teaching for the first time in October 2020 will be €37,600.
The annual cost of restoring the H.Dip allowance is estimated at €7 million.
In addition to the qualification allowances , another 5 allowances were withdrawn. The estimated annual cost of restoring these allowances to new entry teachers in Primary, Voluntary Secondary and Community and Comprehensive schools would be in the region of €2.5m.
The details provided relate only to teachers paid on payrolls operated by my Department and do not include details applicable to teachers employed by Education and Training Boards.

By 2018 companies in Wales with over 250 employees will be obliged to publish their rates of pay for male and female employees - potentially leaving themselves exposed to claims of gender discrimination.
The South Wales HR Network returns this month to discuss how legislation is likely to affect Welsh businesses.
The South Wales HR Network, a joint venture between multi-specialist recruitment and training agency, Acorn, and the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, addresses topics that directly affect HR professionals.
For this month's event the HR Network welcomes Daniel Wilde, Partner and Head of Employment Law at one of Wales' largest firms, HardingEvans. Daniel is an expert in contentious legal and HR issues and is perfectly placed to address the gender pay gap.
Taking place in Jury's Inn, Cardiff, Daniel will take attendees through the new proposals for gender pay reporting, how an equal pay claim might develop within a business and advise on any essential action that companies should take to ensure that their business abides by equal pay legislation.
Daniel said: "on average, women still earn 20% less than men*, which is a striking statistic and one which has prompted the Government to bring new legislation forward. This is a hot topic in both the HR and legal sector at the moment. With changes to gender pay inevitable, this interactive seminar will address what the changes mean for both employers and employees, with a view to ensuring HR professionals leave with a clear understanding and action points to take back to their place of employment.
Sarah Jones, Head of Marketing for Acorn, said: "we established the South Wales HR Network for exactly this sort of issue; to explore the latest laws and regulations, and topical HR issues that will help HR professionals in their own development and to avoid the pitfalls that a lack of understanding could otherwise bring.
"Our interactive seminars create a friendly and open forum where participants have an opportunity to discuss and examine current development or ideas for their own workplace as well as become updated with the latest changes in employment law. Getting HR right is not always easy, but the South Wales HR Network endeavours to always help shape best practice.
"Daniel is one of the foremost employment lawyers in Wales so it will be particularly interesting to hear his take on the gender pay gap."
Previous seminars, which have attracted up to 85 attendees each time, have in the past included a focus on Auto-enrolment, led by Seer Green, Newport-based financial advisers and the importance of leadership and motivation, led by former Wales Coach Mike Ruddock.
Keith Palmer, Chief Executive of the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, said: "we are delighted to partner Acorn to deliver the South Wales HR Network. This adds another angle of support we can deliver to our members, whether HR professionals or business owners, that will encourage continuous development and growth of businesses in Wales."
Tickets to the seminar will cost £16.00+VAT for Chamber members and 24+VAT for non-members.

Behind the irresistible air of immediacy and spontaneity lies much erudition and an antic imagination intent on subverting "the dominant paradigm." From his earliest books, including his landmark Coney Island of the Mind, Ferlinghetti has written poetry "in ways that those who see poetry as the province of the few and educated had never imagined. That strength has turned out to be lasting" (Joel Oppenheimer, N. Y. Times Books Review).

divorce - a good or bad thing?
in the 1970\'s and 1980\'s, i experienced my share of divorce as a kid and teenager. at the time, my view was that divorce was a good thing, as it replaced anger and pain with a fresh start and new beginnings.
however, now that i\'m a parent, i see things a bit differently...i see how hard it is for parents to not be married and yet still be joined by a child, how hard it can be to stay an active player in your child\'s life when you\'re only seeing them for 20/30/40% of the time. and then i understand why parents stay together \"for the children\".
just some random observations. your thoughts?
It\'s impossible to say it\'s a categorically good or bad thing. Sometimes it is the right thing to have happen and other times it is a weak escape from dealing with the problem. I firmly believe people shouldn\'t get married until they are ready and shouldn\'t get hitched for the wrong reasons. I waited until I was in my 30\'s before I felt ready to make the committment, partly because I was terrified of divorce. Waiting paid off, I have an amazing wife and I\'m all but sure that we won\'t ever get divorced. She\'s my best friend.
People get married too often and get divorced too often. I agree with Josh that waiting until you are making a truly informed choice is key. Marriage is a contract and a serious commitment and should be viewed as such. When children are involved it becomes even more imperative that every effort is made to honor the union. The experience does have lasting effects on the children of divorce and often the effects are seen dramatically when those children become adults end enter unions of their own. Divorce is certainly an option but should be the last one, unless it is an abusive situation. People chose each other for various reasons and many times it is to deal with unresolved issues they have with a parent of conflict. Since decisions of the heart are made, at least in part, unconsciously it can be brought to light through the process of couples therapy. I strongly recommend that before making a decision to divorce a couple should seek the advice of a therapist or counselor who specializes in working with couples.
I agree with you on this fact. I think especially if it could be worked out you should see a therpist or a counsler because divorce is not good.
Good words....and most of the time those who are able to communicate at all work something out.
alas, there are those of us that have spouses that will not communicate. I waited until my children were grown to leave. I too was a child of divorce and I waited until I was 31 to marry. If it wasn\'t for alcohol we\'d still be together even though we don\'t and never really have communicated. I did right much mindreading I tell ya!!
This site is so easy to use and the drug tests are shipped to you in a matter of days. The tests are SO easy to use and easy to read.
Great, great website and company!
well i have a 14 year old that i adopted, and she has lived her life on the streets, so i drug test her every week. and i get the results fast, it is great.
HaHA! I very nearly bumped this one myself!

Torrente's First High-Performance Cat Driving Class A Hit, Ready For Second One This Week
Created: March 9, 2021
by: Written by Jason Johnson
Not only did his students learn quite a lot during his first session in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., a week and a half ago, Shaun Torrente, who recently acquired the GSR High-Performance Catamaran Driving School curriculum, ascertained a solid amount of information on his end as well.
The owner of the 32-foot Doug Wright catamaran pictured, Scott Maizlish, left, and Adrian Barrett, right, were all smiles after passing the GSR High-Performance Catamaran Driving School led by Shaun Torrente, center. Photos courtesy Shaun Torrente and Scott Maizlish.
This week, the two-time defending F1 H2O world champion who hails from Florida will put two more students through the two-day course geared for new and experienced catamaran owners—this time a little closer to home as he has a father-and-son class in Southwest Florida tomorrow with Leo and Tyler Vik in their MTI 390X powered by twin Mercury Racing 450R engines.
"The Lake Havasu class was awesome—I had a blast, especially once I realized the students were taking it as seriously as me," said Torrente, who had a couple of local boaters sign up to take the class, including first-time cat owner, Scott Maizlish, and experienced performance boater, Adrian Barrett, who owns the widely respected Barrett Custom Marine "I thought the classroom section went really well, which that was the thing I was most concerned about going into my first one. I knew the driving part would be easy for me; I've done that hundreds of times with friends and people who I've helped dial in their boats.
"I just wanted to make sure the classroom part wasn't monotonous and that the curriculum was easy enough to understand and to the point," he added. "My class is truly about how to drive and operate your performance catamaran safely. It's not a U.S. Coast Guard boating safety class or a local boating navigation course, it's much more specific than that."
Maizlish, a lifelong boater who has owned a variety of smaller boats with his wife, Erinn, that they use at their home on the Colorado River in Parker, Ariz., recently upgraded to a twin Mercury Racing Verado 400R engine-powered 32-foot Doug Wright cat he purchased through Maxed Out Marine in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. He took a demo ride in it with Barrett a couple of weeks before taking delivery of the boat, which had 20 hours on it, on his birthday—February 8.
Scott and Erinn Maizlish have some fun days ahead on Lake Havasu—and other waterways around the country—in their 32-foot Doug Wright catamaran powered by twin Mercury Racing Verado 400R engines.
After purchasing the 32-footer, Maizlish recognized he needed to take some kind of class to learn how to drive his boat in the safest way possible.
"I'd never ridden in a cat before test-driving this boat so I knew I wasn't qualified to just to be turned loose with it," said Maizlish, who was looking to upgrade to a bigger boat in the 28-foot range when Rick Hidalgo of Maxed Out Marine, which he's purchased other boats from in the past, let him know the Doug Wright was for sale. "So I went online to see what performance boating schools were out there and I came across the speedonthewater.com story about Shaun's new school and called him to find out his availability. I didn't realize that was only a few days after he announced he was doing the program."
Maizlish's intention was to learn as much as he could to avoid getting in any trouble with the boat. What he didn't realize was how much fun he'd have right away once he learned what the boat was capable of and that he could trust it.
"I loved the class—it was the perfect amount of information and the right amount of time in the water and in the classroom," Maizlish said. "I think I could have spent three days on the water with Shaun and continued to learn things about my boat, but for what we were focused on—overall safety, understanding the design of my boat and getting a feel for the boat's responsiveness—it was an excellent overview."
Maizlish said he loved Torrente's teaching style, which he called very direct.
"It was a great experience and a kind of surreal experience since I've never owned a boat like this before," Maizlish continued. "Shaun really taught me how to guide the boat and anticipate what's going to happen based on feel."
Check out the slideshow above for a few more images from Maizlish's day on the water.
Barrett, who decided to take the class with Maizlish, said it was totally worthwhile, even with his level of experience.
"I've done some business with Shaun, ordered some brackets and other parts, but I'd never met him in person," Barrett said. "I thought he did a great job with the course and I would recommend it for sure. He definitely helped Scott focus on driving the boat by feel and by letting him experience what different trim levels felt like at a variety of speeds. He had Scott do it over and over until he knew where the trim was based on feel, which in turn allowed him to look ahead and pay attention while he was driving rather than continuing to check the indicators.
"For me, I really enjoyed riding with Shaun," he continued. "I've been around a lot of stuff over the years, but I don't claim to know it all, so any chance I get to ride with guys with as much or more experience than me, I take advantage of it. It was a no BS class, which I appreciated. He talked about boat setup and explained propeller dynamics and the effect pitch, rake and diameter has on performance. On the water, Shaun spent more time with us than I expected. He had us work on different skills, like how to go through particular water conditions at speed and the best way to enter and exit turns at different speeds."
Torrente appreciated having Barrett, who said his shop has been slammed since before the pandemic started and is getting even busier leading up to next month's Desert Storm Poker Run and Super Cat Fest West events, in the class because an advanced level course is something the instructor may offer down the road.
"Having someone like A.J. there was cool because he has a decent amount of experience and he still felt like he learned a few things," Torrente said. "And then having someone like Scott, who had no experience and said he was intimidated by his boat, and by the end of the day I said, 'All right take me be boating at 100 mph and go do this, this and this,' and he could do it—that was even more awesome."
If anyone is interested in scheduling a class, Torrente said he can be reached via social media or through Shaun Torrente Racing, his performance components company.

This article appears in Holiday 2016: Issue No. 46 of Edible Brooklyn.
The two have just released their first and much anticipated cookbook in time for the holiday season.
Since Diner opened, we have celebrated the turning of each year in one of our restaurants, so making this at home was really fun for us.
Editor's note: As we've written, Andrew Tarlow's restaurants are at the forefront of a modern Brooklyn food ethos. His rule-breaking institutions have redefined the BK food scene many times over—first with Williamsburg icon Diner, then its adjacent outpost Marlow & Sons, then the groundbreaking ingredient boutique Marlow & Daughters, then Fort Greene's Italian destination Roman's, then uber-chic Reynard and The Ides in the Wythe Hotel and Achilles Heel on the Greenpoint waterfront. He's also a force behind Marlow Goods, She Wolf Bakery and the decade-old Diner Journal with his longtime collaborator Anna Dunn. The two have just released their first and much anticipated cookbook Dinner at the Long Table in time for the holiday season, which we're celebrating by sharing this wintertime Italian dessert.
Time is relative. You'll never find a clock in any of our restaurants. Behind the scenes, we keep time. The countdown. A two-minute fire. A 20-minute wait for a table. An hour when you're in the weeds flies by in what feels like a minute. A game changer. A cocktail or two. Service has got to be fun. So does New Year's Eve. Since Diner opened, we have celebrated the turning of each year in one of our restaurants, so making this at home was really fun for us. Two New Years? Why not? We cheer to a New Year.
Basically, cookies and cream, bonet is an age-old recipe from the Piedmont region of Italy. You will need two flameproof 9-inch baking dishes for this recipe.
To make the candied orange peel, cut the top and bottom off the oranges so they can sit flat, then peel the oranges with a knife, removing as little of the white pith as possible. Thinly slice the peels into ⅙-inch strips. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the orange peels and blanch them until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well. In a medium saucepan, bring 1¼ cups of the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Add the blanched peels and simmer until translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove the peels with a slotted spoon and let drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, separating the peels so they don't stick together. Let dry for 2 hours, then toss with the remaining ¼ cup sugar in a bowl. Let dry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper overnight.
To make the bonet, sprinkle ½ cup of the sugar over the bottom of a flameproof 9-inch baking dish. Cook over medium heat until the sugar caramelizes to a deep mahogany color, about 3 minutes. Cut the heat and set aside to cool. Repeat with another flameproof 9-inch baking dish and ½ cup sugar.
Preheat the oven to 300°. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk, cream and amaretti. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, remaining 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa, espresso and rum in a small bowl. Add a splash of the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture, then slowly incorporate the tempered egg mixture into the warm milk mixture. Pour the custard into the baking dishes. Place the dishes in a pan, or 2 separate pans if need be, and pour hot water into the pan to halfway up the height of the custard dish. Bake, uncovered, in the hot water bath until set, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. You can serve the bonets in their dishes or invert them onto plates, if you like drama. To unmold a bonet, place a flat serving plate over the top of the bonet's baking dish. With a firm grasp and full confidence, flip the dish over quickly. The bonet will unmold and settle onto the serving plate. Serve with the dark chocolate, hazelnuts and candied orange peels.

TRIBUTES have been paid to musician Alec Finn who has passed away at the age of 74.
A co-founder of Galway-based folk group De Dannan along with Frankie Gavin, Ringo McDonagh and Charlie Piggot, the well-known performer died peacefully at his home in Galway yesterday.
A talented musician, Mr Finn was born in England, but had made Galway his home, residing in the 15th century Oranmore Castle with his wife, artist Leonie King, and their family.
He performed with De Dannan from its foundation in 1975 until the band split in 2003.
In recent years, the musician had performed with the band with varying line-ups and earlier this year he appeared on stage with Frankie Galvin, Colm Murphy, and Máirtín O'Connor as De Dannan to play out TG4's Gradam Awards.
The band also provided a launch pad for a number of leading Irish female folk singers, including Dolores Keane and Mary Black.
President Michael D Higgins described the musician as a "distinguished solo artist and session musician" adding that he always brought his "famed sensitivity and skill to every performance.
"It has been a privilege to know Alec Finn," he said.
"Sabina and I send our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and friends, in the full knowledge that Alec Finn's music will live on and continue to inspire countless people around the world."
Broadcaster John Kelly said: "Sad news. I'm very sorry to hear of the death of Alec Finn. We have lost so many of the greats in recent times. Another one gone".

Mi Terro: From Milk-based Fabrics To Packaging Made From Beer Waste
by Renuka Kennedy | Apr 12, 2021 | Uncategorised
Image Courtesy: Couleur Pixabay
Back in 2018, when Robert Luo saw buckets of milk thrown away on his uncle's farm in China, he wanted to find a solution to this diary waste problem. That is how Mi Terro – a brand that converts waste milk to fabrics – was created. It was not just an answer to the agricultural waste but also to the fashion industry's non-biodegradable waste. To give a clear picture of how much is wasted. According to the Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Security, "about 55m tonnes are lost before reaching a store." BBC Future reported that "globally, the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions."
Image Courtesy: Mi Terro
The greenhouse gas emission is the industry's use of non-biodegradable resources. With petroleum being one of them, Mi Terro is firmly against using the material. Even its primary goal is to "replace petroleum materials with protein-based materials made from food waste." The start-up explained that the microplastics produced by the fibre could have harmful effects – including cancer and heart diseases – on our human body. Beyond that, these microplastics are impossible to get rid of once they enter the ocean. Before making fabrics out of milk, the brand made travel bags from ocean waste.
This environmentally-conscious brand is in an attempt to become even more eco-friendly. The marque is focused on replacing the plastic materials used in packaging. It is currently in the progress of making the world's very first compostable package that is made from beer waste.
A post shared by Mi Terro® | Waste-to-Value (@miterro)
Mi Terro supplies its fibres to its clients who make the products. It recently collaborated with Discarded Spirits to make face masks. The website says that this milk fabric can be used to make different things such as blankets, toilet tissues, food packaging, and more. To date, the brand has partnered with Nike, Budweiser, Danone, Toyoshima and others.
Luo, who appeared in an episode of Cause Artist's 'Disruptors for GOOD' podcast, talked about the process of producing the fabric. He said that the process initially took nearly two months and five t-shirts were made using one glass of milk. The company is working on its second prototype that will apparently be completely biodegradable and require 60 per cent less water than organic cotton. Mi Terro looks forward to collaborating with brands that are moving towards more sustainable materials.
Moreover, every time someone buys from Mi Terro, the brand plants 15 trees in collaboration with Eden Reforestation Projects and provides 20 free meals with the help of Operation Food Search. Mi Terro has planted more than 20 thousand trees and donated 380 plus meals so far.
