Standing up for Workers? Hardly!
For decades, Thomas Sowell has been a voice of reason and that voice continues with his latest column, "The Last Thing Unions Are Concerned About Is Free Choice For Workers." Sowell writes:
Labor unions, like the United Nations, are all too often judged by what they are envisioned as being — not by what they actually are or what they actually do.
Many people, who do not look beyond the vision or the rhetoric to the reality, still think of labor unions as protectors of working people from their employers. And union bosses still employ that kind of rhetoric.
However, someone once said, "When I speak I put on a mask, but when I act I must take it off."
That mask has been coming off, more and more, especially during the Obama administration, and what is revealed underneath is very ugly, very cynical and very dangerous.
As workers in the private sector have, over the years, increasingly voted to reject joining unions, union bosses have sought to replace secret ballots with signed documents — signed in the presence of union organizers and under the pressures, harassments or implicit threats of those organizers.Now that the administration has appointed a majority of the National Labor Relations Board members, the NLRB has imposed new requirements that employers give union organizers with the names and home addresses of every employee. Nor do employees have a right to decline to have this personal information given out to union organizers, under NLRB rules.
In other words, union organizers will now have the legal right to pressure, harass or intimidate workers on the job or in their own homes, in order to get them to sign up with the union.
Among the consequences of not signing up is union reprisal on the job if the union wins the election. But physical threats and actions are by no means off the table, as many people who get in the way of unions have learned.
When the unions began losing those elections, they decided to change the rules. And after Barack Obama was elected president, with large financial support from unions, the rules were in fact changed by Obama's NLRB.The last thing this process is concerned about is a free choice for workers.
Union elections don't recur like other elections. They are like some Third World elections: "One man, one vote — one time." And getting a recognized union unrecognized is an uphill struggle.
But so long as many people refuse to see the union for what it is, or the Obama administration for what it is, this cynical and corrupt process can continue.

Romance Writers of America Rescind Award for Lakota Genocide Redemption Narrative
by Steve Ammidown
Aug 26, 2021 | Filed in News
The Romance Writers of America (RWA) has again found itself embroiled in controversy. This time, the association gave one of its new Vivian awards to At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer, a historical romance that most observers saw as glorifying the genocide of Lakota people at the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890.
Fresh off a year that saw a bubbling over of long-standing issues around racism, the cancellation of its marquee awards, multiple board shake-ups, and the departure of two executive directors and multiple staff, the Romance Writers of America (RWA) has again found itself embroiled in controversy. This time, the association gave one of its new Vivian awards to At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer, a historical romance that most observers saw as glorifying the genocide of Lakota people at the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. For librarians, this never-ending storm of controversies raises questions about whether RWA's awards should be considered a useful tool for collection development or readers' advisory when it comes to the romance genre.
The genre has long struggled with a lack of diversity, with publishers for years refusing to print the stories of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ authors, or only doing so in ways that segregated those stories from the rest of their romance lines. Since its founding in 1980 the RWA has also struggled to make space for authors who were not cisgender, straight, white, Christian, and abled. Despite having an initial board that included Vivian and Barbara Stephens, both Black women, and Celina Rios Mullan, a Latina woman, within two years RWA's board of directors would be entirely white and remain that way for more than a decade. It wasn't until 2002 that Shirley Hailstock would become the group's first Black president. The organization's previous marquee award, the RITA, created in 1982, did not see a Black author win until 2019. In 2005, members of the board used the organization's magazine, Romance Writer's Report, to distribute a survey intended to limit RWA's definition of romance to one man and one woman, which a later board apologized for in 2016. And these are just the problems that made the public eye; for years, in forums public and private, members shared stories of microaggressions and outright racist treatment they experienced at RWA events and meetings.
While the latter half of the 2010s saw the organization make some progress in addressing the concerns of authors of color as well as LGBTQIA+ members, in December of 2019 that hard work started to fall apart. It was revealed that the group intended to censure Chinese American author Courtney Milan, reportedly for her comments about a fellow author's book being a "racist mess." The ensuing months of uproar, summarized best by Jezebel author Kelly Faircloth as a "spectacular implosion," resulted in the resignation of the group's first executive director as well as her hand-picked successor, and the resignation of most of the board of directors. The RITA awards were scrapped for 2020, and the group announced that a new award named for founder Vivian Stephens would be rolled out in 2021. It would keep most of the original contest categories, but with a new approach to judging that the RWA said would result in a a more equitable playing field for authors of color as well as for other historically excluded authors, including LGBTQIA+ authors of all backgrounds.
When the first class of Vivian finalists were announced in April, several observers flagged At Love's Command as a concerning choice in the "Romance with Religious or Spiritual Elements" (also known as "inspirational") category. Karen Witemeyer's book opens in the midst of the Wounded Knee Massacre as the male protagonist Matt Hanger, an army captain, describes the Lakota people he and his men have slaughtered (including a child who Hanger shoots on-page) as having provoked the attack through their defiance of the army's orders. As the book continues, Hanger finds redemption through his Bible and the love of Dr. Josephine Burkett. Commenters argued that, while many romance protagonists have moral failings, genocide is not typically one of them. Despite objections, the book continued in the contest and was named the winner of the Vivian Award for its category on August 1.
When Witemeyer's book was announced as the winner, online backlash was swift and fierce. Those who had been trying to raise the alarm for months were now joined by voices within and outside of the romance world decrying the book. On the Monday after the awards, RWA Board President LaQuette released a statement acknowledging the criticism, but defending the use of redemption narratives in the religious or spiritual elements category, arguing that the subgenre requires that "the character can't be redeemed by human means; only through their spiritual/religious awakening can they find redemption for their moral failings and or crimes against humanity." The inclusion of "crimes against humanity" in LaQuette's statement immediately raised questions, as the term does not appear in RWA's own definition of the inspirational subgenre. In addition, some pointed out that redemption is not a feature of all religious and spiritual belief systems (it also does not appear in the Vivians category description) and that LaQuette's emphasis on requiring it could exclude non-Christian narratives.
The day following the statement from LaQuette, the RWA Board issued a separate statement apologizing for the controversy and announcing that they were rescinding the award for Witemeyer's book. As of the writing of this piece, no winner for the category is listed on RWA's website.
It's worth pointing out that this wasn't the first time a genocidal male main character was featured in the "Romance with Religious or Spiritual Elements" category. In 2015, Kate Breslin's For Such a Time, about the love between a Nazi concentration camp guard and a Jewish prisoner, was nominated and also drew strong condemnation from the romance community. For Such a Time was also nominated for "Best First Book," but did not win either award.
Nor is this the first time that problematic narratives involving Native Americans have featured in the romance genre. One of the most popular of the romance subgenres in the 1980s and 1990s was the "Indian Romance," which typically involved one white and one Native main character in a story that—while treated as romance in the industry at the time—often included kidnapping and/or rape, in the 19th-century American West. Romance fan magazine Romantic Times (later renamed RT Book Reviews before being shuttered in 2018) included the category in its annual awards, presenting a "Best Indian Romance" award from 1984-1993.
Given all of this, are awards given by the Romance Writers of America a good tool for collection development, as other genre related awards are? Many notable authors skip the contest altogether because of the contest's reputation for snubbing authors of color, the cost to enter, or simply because they are not RWA members. Additionally, the contest was historically judged by authors who had entered it, although this has changed somewhat with the new Vivian Awards structure.
At the very least, the Vivians should be taken with a grain of salt until further notice. In their place, librarians can turn to awards like the Ribbies, sponsored by romance bookstore The Ripped Bodice and judged by a panel of romance bloggers, librarians, and social media influencers, or The Swoon Awards, organized for the first time last year and voted on by readers. Additionally, blogs like Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and Girl, Have You Read (among many others) are a great resource for reviews and new releases. Smart Bitches, Trashy Books also has an excellent readers' advisory tool in its Book Finder, which allows for searching by tropes, subgenres, and archetypes among other categories.

Critics Consensus 59%
The original star-studded cast reunites a decade later in this spine-chilling fourth installment of the $300M-grossing Scream franchise. Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell of THE CRAFT), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette of NEVER BEEN KISSED) and Gale (Courtney Cox of TV's FRIENDS), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts of VALENTINE'S DAY) and her Aunt Kate. Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends (including Hayden Panettiere of TV's HEROES), and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger. Legendary director Wes Craven (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) "guides us expertly down a series of blind, bloody alleys" (Slate Magazine).
Critics Consensus: The franchise is showing its age, but Scream 4 is undeniably an improvement over its predecessor, with just enough meta humor and clever kills.
Ghostface killer returns for more bloody slayings.

Arrival Screenwriter On Building Valiant's Film Universe
By Joe Schmidt - September 5, 2017 07:59 pm EDT
Valiant has steadily been building their comic book brand since returning in 2012 with the help of creators like Robert Venditti, Cary Nord, Matt Kindt, Paolo Rivera, Doug Braithwaite, and Jeff Lemire.
With critically acclaimed comics laying the foundation, they've announced plans to expand upon their properties with a first step into multimedia in the form of the web series Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe.
BACK TO SCHOOL: Preview Digital Exclusive VALIANT HIGH #2
But even before they released the teaser trailer for that series, they inked a five picture deal with Sony to bring Harbinger and Bloodshot to movie theaters. And they brought in an Oscar-nominated screenwriter to help make it happen.
Eric Heisserer was announced as the screenwriter for both films, which will eventually build to the explosive crossover Harbinger Wars. Heisserer is riding high after being nominated for an Academy Award for his film Arrival, and has recently exited working on the Van Helsing reboot.
The writer—who also has a Valiant comic coming later this year with Raul Allen and Laura Martin, Secret Weapons—was asked by /Film about working with relatively unknown characters in comparison to Batman and Spider-Man.
"I see it entirely as a blessing because they don't come with any baggage, whether it's good or bad," Heisserer said. "The average viewer, I would say, doesn't have any preconceived notions of what these characters should be."
Heisserer added that long-time Valiant readers should recognize the characters despite the blank slate.
"For those who have been Valiant fans for a long while, it is my greatest hope that they find the essence of the character they have always loved in the depiction of those characters," he added.
Heisserer said that unfamiliarity will "set [them] apart from a Marvel or DC Character."
"It allows me to introduce them and develop them in a way that feels authentic and organic to what the story is," he said. "These titles live in a world that carved out another corner of the comic book-film genre that has been unexplored."
As things come together for the Valiant film universe, Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe will be the company's first venture outside of comics. Look for that to debut later this year.

If you are looking to lose weight naturally, it is important to know that there is no quick way to do it. There is only one safe and effective way to shed off the pounds. In order to win the battle against the bulge, you will need to exercise and have a healthy diet. There are some products you can use to supplement your diet, which you can find at St. Mary Pharmacy, a Pharmacy in Palm Harbor, but the trick is to keep it simple.
Losing weight does not mean you have to go out and do intense workouts and come up with a routine. Simply going out every day for 30 minutes or jogging around the block is more than enough. However, you can change up or increase the amount of time you spend exercising just to help keep things interesting. If you are looking for quicker results, you can try full body workouts like swimming or jumping rope. However, these can be difficult to do and may end up discouraging you if you are not used to the physical challenge.
Aside from exercise, you also need to eat the right types of food to lose weight. The key to leading a healthy lifestyle is to eat in moderation. You can still eat all of your favorites but make sure you cut down on the amount you are eating and add healthier alternatives. Instead of getting that second burger, you could get a salad instead.
There are a number of products that can also help you lose weight; however, many of them do not work. Just stick to the basic products such as supplements and vitamins. This will help maintain your energy and give your body the fuel it needs to continue exercising.
Losing weight is not an impossible challenge but it can take some time. However, if you can stick to your routine, you will soon be able to reap the benefits.
If you would like to find out more about how you can lose weight safely or about the health products we can offer you, please pay our website a visit: www.stmarypharmacyrx.com. If you have any questions that you are interested in asking, you can reach us at 727-773-9000. It's time to shed off those unwanted pounds!

Poverty need not be Family Life Centre teaches healthy eating and cooking to the less fortunate unhealthy
LEND A HAND: Mr David Kan (middle) showing Mr Mareedar Subramaniam and his son how to prepare a healthy meal. (Inset) Mr Lai Nga Woo at his home.TNP PHOTOS: BENJAMIN LIM

We want to promote health and happiness for the elderly and foster independence.
- Mr David Kan, founder and programme director of Family Life Centre
They live from hand to mouth each day and their meals usually consist of little more than some rice and sardines.
Mr Mareedar Subramaniam, 84, and his two sons, 61-year-old Balakrishana Subramaniam and 43-year-old Thiyagaraj Subramaniam, survive on the former postman's monthly pension of $497.
About $300 goes to rent and utilities for their two-room flat in Toa Payoh.
With less than $200 each month left for food and miscellaneous expenses, eating healthily is most definitely out of the question.
And this month, they have to dig even deeper into their pockets to pay Mr Balakrishana's hospital bill for treating "water in his lungs".
Both his sons are not working. Mr Balakrishana is mentally unwell and Mr Thiyagaraj quit his security guard job because of a back injury.
Yet, even with such a tight budget, the family was able to enjoy a nutritious and healthy meal of rice-soy, topped with mushrooms and an egg.
They even have a 1kg bag of Anlene high calcium powdered milk, which costs about $25.
All these were provided and made possible by the Wellness and Meals eldercare enrichment programme, a project run by Family Life Centre, a non-profit organisation based in Toa Payoh.(See report at top.)
HOLISTIC AID
Mr David Kan, 49, the centre's founder and programme director, told The New Paper: "We want to promote health and happiness for the elderly and foster independence.
"For this programme, we hope to offer holistic aid to the less fortunate."
This week, members visited shortlisted homes to make donations and educate the residents on how to cook healthier food. They are prioritising those with more serious medical issues.
Mr Christopher Chee, the community care director of Family Life Centre, said: "When they (the elderly beneficiaries) go outside to eat, the food is very unhealthy and contains lots of oil."
The Subramaniams were taught to prepare their rice-soy meal with guidance from Mr Kan and Mr Chee, who taught them a few basic steps to prepare the meal, such as dicing the mushrooms and how to properly beat the egg.
They also explained the use of the milk powder, which was specially formulated for bone strengthening.
Mr Kan and Mr Chee also visited Mr Lai Nga Woo's home in Toa Payoh, together with TNPon Monday.
Mr Lai suffers from gangrene, evident in his swollen feet. The 60-year-old bachelor lives with his brother, who is two years younger.
He often goes to the hawker centre at the next block for meals, which are unhealthy for him.
Said the retiree: "I'm happy for the help and look forward to the rest of the programme and planned gatherings."
Wellness and meals
The programme started by Family Life Centre, a non-profit voluntary welfare organisation, aims to enrich the physical and mental health of the underprivileged who are above 50 years old, and to promote health and happiness.
The project started this month and is now in the second phase, where members visit beneficiaries to donate food items, which are mostly sponsored, and teach healthy cooking and eating.
The first phase was completed last week, when the centre performed physical and emotional medical checkups on 100 people from the blocks at Toa Payoh Lorong 5.
Because of a shortage of volunteers, the group is starting with residents in Toa Payoh, where it is based.
The third and final phase, which will be after the visits have been completed, will comprise therapeutic activities and events.
The organisation is looking for volunteers. For more details, go to www.familylifectre.org

This was a semester long project to create a cohesive brand for a fictional company. I chose to create an Estonian beauty company that specialized in effective skincare with natural ingredients derived from Estonian flora. We were tasked to create everything, including a logo, letterhead, business cards, website, and a brand guide. After finishing this class, I felt much more prepared and knowledgable about logo design and branding.


as much as we describe them.
What is Branding and how do we approach it?
We see branding as the process that defines the elements - sensory, language and actions - that identify a brand.
We see companies as a projection of the people that make up that company. Therefore, companies have values, behaviors, dress codes and different ways of speaking, which all together define their personality. Personality is the set of traits and qualities that shape a person's way of being - or a company's - and sets them apart from the rest.
Here at ZET, we develop the brand and together with the customer we define the set of values, objectives and actions that set them apart from the rest. We create a strong visual identity and a set of messages to clearly and accurately communicate the value of your company or product.
We develop your brand's design, which in a person would be their look and wardrobe. We provide a visual, graphic, print and digital identity, as well as sensory elements such as lighting, music, textures and odors to guarantee a complete user experience.
We define the way your brand speaks and communicates. The words you use, the tone and your discourse. We define the statements and promises that define a brand's experience and personality. We conduct interviews, draft text, edit and translate.
We define the actions that must be taken to communicate your brand's values and message. We provide a communications plan, MKT plan, social media management, internal communication and define the customer experience.

St Stephen the King's Church
St Stephen the King's Roman Catholic Church was originally built as a fortress church in the middle of the 14th century. The earliest information in surviving chronicles indicate that it already existed in 1390. It was later redesigned and expanded many times. A chapel was added at the beginning of the 18th century while in 1764 the Pálffys renovated it so extensively that only one of the original building was left. The church's size has changed a lot; expanded with side wings, the northern chapel was attached to the church hall along with a southern chapel. The works were completed in 1767, when the church was consecrated. Close to the parsonage, there is also another important sacral building – the Baroque chapel and Calvary built between 1709 and 1713. The Holy Trinity Column in front of the church dates back to the mid-18th century.

Brazil by the numbers yeast figures that explain the news in brazil
During a campaign rally. Mr. Bolsonaro's intestines suffered several perforations, causing a loss of 2.5 liters of blood, which brought the president very close to death. Click here to recover information on the assassination attempt—and how it shaped brazilian politics in the past year. His doctor, antonio luiz macedo, said the president should be released from the hospital in yeast infection side effects time to attend the united nations general assembly, on september 22. Since 1955, brazil has opened the 5-day "general debate," for a very curious reason: "in very early times, when no one wanted to speak first, brazil always … offered to do it," desmond parker, the UN's protocol chief, told NPR in 2010.
Digital bank nubank announced that it has reached the milestone yeast infection side effects of 10 million active digital bank accounts. Founded in 2013, the fintech has an astonishing growth rate of 50,000 new accounts per day, according to its own numbers. The company started operations offering credit card services, but found that its digital current account—called nuconta—was the ideal model for gaining scale. Right now, it has clients in every brazilian municipality—and emerges as a viable alternative to residents of 2,224 cities which do not have any bank branches. For nubank, the digital account is the gateway to other financial services—and represents the path towards profitability, which has yet to come. In june, the company announced a USD 400 million funding round led yeast infection side effects by venture capital firm TCV—an early investor in netflix and spotify—pushing the fintech's market value to a whopping USD 10 billion.
Brazil's health ministry has confirmed 2,753 measles cases in the country between june 9 and yeast infection side effects august 31. Four people died—three in são paulo and one in pernambuco. Overall, authorities investigate another 18,000 possible cases. Confirmed infections are concentrated in 13 states, with the near totality in são paulo (2,708). Rio de janeiro comes in second place, with just 15 infections. Two years ago, brazil had been declared free of measles—but lost its status earlier this year. According to fernando bellissimo, a professor of social medicine at the university of são yeast infection side effects paulo, a 20-percent drop in vaccination coverage is the leading cause of yeast infection side effects the disease's comeback. The brazilian government also blames the recent inflow of immigrants yeast infection side effects from venezuela—a country undergoing a full-scale social collapse. Late in august, the federal administration sent 7,500 vaccines to prevent the outbreak from getting worse.
Earlier this week, reporter natália scalzaretto wrote an in-depth article explaining why state-level finances are the biggest risk for the brazilian economy. Of brazil's 27 states, seven have declared a state of "financial calamity." in practical terms, the move shuts down several areas of state administrations and yeast infection side effects delays salaries for civil servants (which are then paid in delayed installments). One of them went as far as choosing to default yeast infection side effects on banking loans to be able to afford its own yeast infection side effects payroll. Rating agency fitch notes that many other states also face yeast infection side effects dire situations—caused by fiscally irresponsible administrations, coupled with a sluggish overall economy, which has lowered the amount of money raised from taxes.
According to market research company dataagro, brazil's cereal production in the 2019-2020 harvest should go up 5 percent from the previous yeast infection side effects cycle, reaching 259,689 tons. Planted surface should reach 65,213 million hectares—a 3.1-percent advance. The sector doesn't expect climate phenomena el niño or la niña to yeast infection side effects have impacts on production. Through a mathematical model, economists calculated the impacts of el niño on food inflation yeast infection side effects and found that "the climate factor has contributed to deviate food inflation in yeast infection side effects comparison to historical standards over the past years." in the first three months of 2019, food inflation has risen 4.34 percent, above the average variation for the period in the past yeast infection side effects two decades.
Unlike european leagues, the brazilian football season follows the calendar year. That's why local competitions are interrupted every other year during yeast infection side effects international tournaments such as the world cup. This year, the league paused between june 14 and july 7 for yeast infection side effects the copa america (which brazil hosted and won). Before the break, defending champions palmeiras were unbeatable, racking up eight wins and one draw. But since returning to action in july, the club hasn't won a single league game. To make matters worse, palmeiras was eliminated from copa do brasil and copa libertadores—south america's answer to the champions league. The sequence of poor performances led to the firing of yeast infection side effects manager luiz felipe scolari—who nevertheless is the winningest coach in brazilian football, with 27 titles. But he will also be remembered for what is considered yeast infection side effects to be the most humiliating defeat in world cup history—when brazil took a 7-1 pounding from germany, at home, at the 2014 semifinals.

I display the different parts of the form with some js scripts (which is working perfectly). In the last step, i have an overview of submitted datas. But i dont know how to get the "select" data and show it in the same page.

...........

I have put in comment the request i want to execute. My problem is with WHERE ID="($('.js-example-basic-single').val()) "

Can you give me some ideas on how to perform that.
NB: i've seen some AJAX suggestions but i dont know how to use it.

A: Use jquery ajax() here, its syntax is very simple:
var elemId = $('.js-example-basic-single').val();

$.ajax({
  url: 'process.php',
  method: 'post',
  data: {
    // key: value pair like
    id: elemId,
    success: function(response){
       // Do something here
    }
  }
});

process.php:
$id = $_POST['id'];

here $id contains the value of $('.js-example-basic-single').val();

A: You can update the page undergorund without refresh.
It is a good practice to have separate files for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP. Do not lump all on a single file. This is the way forward.
I notice you are using the class selector and have a button. So try this method:

<?php
basicSingle = test_input($_POST["basicSingle"]);
$sql = /* your code here */
echo data;
mysqli_close($conn);
?>

MONMOUTH – It's back-to-back Midwest Conference Men's Basketball Performer of the Week honors for Monmouth's Will Carius who set a career milestone last week while helping keep the Scots in the hunt for a postseason berth.
Carius, who earned his fourth league honor this season, scored the 1,000th point of his career while helping Monmouth to a 2-0 week, landing in a tie for the fourth and final Midwest Conference playoff berth with two games to play. The junior forward scored 17 points and pulled down 17 rebounds in Tuesday's 69-57 win over Knox. The 17-point night gave the Northern Michigan University transfer 1,003 points in his college career.
Carius poured in 35 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in a crucial 66-63 win over Ripon on Saturday to pull the Scots into a tie for fourth in the league with Ripon and giving the Scots the head-to-head tiebreaker after the season sweep of the Red Hawks.
With 588 points this season, Carius is just 70 points shy of tying the program single-season scoring record. For the week, Carius averaged 26 points and 14.5 rebounds per game.

Recovery and resilience in the EU – Back to the future? Some reflections on Foundation Forum 2022
When it comes to Europe's COVID-19 recovery and its aspiration to build back a more resilient society, the so-called green and digital transitions have dominated EU policy discussions. And as Eurofound made preparations for the 2022 Foundation Forum – a unique occasion for high-level debate on the state of living and working in Europe – these twin transitions were at the forefront of people's minds. That is, until one week before the event, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Overtime in Europe: Regulation and practice
Despite the well-known adverse effects of regular long working hours on workers' health, well-being and performance, many workers in the EU continue to work beyond their normal hours. Part of this additional working time is classified as overtime. This report takes a comparative overview of how overtime is regulated in the EU Member States, Norway and the United Kingdom, including its definition, the limits on its use and the compensation received by workers for working extra hours.

Marking International Women's Day - Sharing the caring: a necessary step towards gender equality
One of the most striking developments of the last half-century has been the huge rise in female labour market participation in advanced economies. More than two out of every three net new jobs created over the last two decades in the EU have been taken up by women, who now account for 46% of the workforce in the EU27. In 2002, the comparable figure was less than 43% and in the early 1990s it was less than 40%. This is a reflection of growing opportunities for women as well as the consolidation of a broader trend towards dual earner households.

Foundation Forum 2022: Recovery and resilience in the EU – Back to the future?
This paper provides a context for the questions to be explored within the Foundation Forum 2022. Europe is emerging from the COVID-19 crisis having managed to protect its economy in the face of a major shock and prevent mass unemployment. However, challenges remain. While the Member States up to now appear to have diverged only moderately, at most, on key economic and social indicators, it seems that the pandemic has widened many social inequalities. The mass shift to telework has raised questions over how the world of work will look in the future.

Collective labour disputes in the EU
7 Февруари 2022
In recent years, apart from some intermittent spikes, there has been a general decrease in industrial action across the EU Member States. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this trend has continued, with the most significant labour disputes not surprisingly occurring in the human health and social services sector, the education sector and the transport and logistics sector. This report analyses the data collected in 2018–2019 by Eurofound during the piloting of its Industrial Action Monitor (IAM) database.

COVID-19 and older people: Impact on their lives, support and care
This report captures the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the quality of life of older citizens, including the impact on their well-being, finances, employment and social inclusion. It explores the effects on the use of care services and older people's reliance on other support. The report presents policy measures that have been implemented in EU Member States to support older people along all of the above-mentioned dimensions.

Minimum wages in 2022: Bigger hikes this time around
The first overview of minimum wage setting for 2022 shows that, while some negotiations are still ongoing, virtually all EU Member States have increased their nominal statutory rates. Compared to last year, when most countries settled for cautious increases against a background of deep uncertainty caused by the pandemic, growth in statutory rates for 2022 was stronger, reflecting an easing of the situation. This was especially the case in central and eastern European countries, where some increases were in double digits. Nevertheless, inflation is back in the picture and should be monitored in the coming months to get an insight into how the increases in nominal minimum wage rates translate into actual changes in the purchasing power of minimum wage earners.

Programming document 2021–2024: Work programme 2022
This programming document describes Eurofound's planned work over the programming period 2021–2024. It sets out the policy and institutional context for the programme, outlines the multiannual programme for the four-year period and sets out the work programme for 2022. Eurofound's priorities for 2021–2024 are shaped by the key challenges for social cohesion and just transitions in a changing environment in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. The Agency focuses on issues where it can draw on its core expertise in the areas of working conditions, industrial relations, employment and living conditions, to support its stakeholders, by providing evidence that can assist their policy action.

Samos is an ideal place for daily visits. There are so many things you can do in one day! And there are options for all types of tourists. We recommend you to rent a car as to get through the island easily and faster.
Do you want to discover the history of the Island?
Drive your way to find the spectacular places that Samos has for you! Start with a one hour visit at the Samos Museum in Samos Town, probably one of the most interesting museums in Greece . A large number of pieces from Archaic, Hellenistic and Roman Periods are presented at the museum.
After the visit to the museum at Samos town, drive south east about 7-8 km to Pythagorion, where you can visit the impressing Temple of Hera and the famous Pythagoras Cave, the place where the famous philosopher used to live and study! Before going up to the cave, you may stop by a restaurant near the hill for some refreshments.
You still have time to catch the sunset at one of the small traditional taverns located by the yacht marina at Pythagorion, where you can also taste local cuisine.
Do you want to travel for discovering the local traditions?
In one day you can find out so many things about life on a Mediterranean Island, just by visiting the villages in Samos. Visit Manolates and Vourliotes superb villages.
You can eat there Greek traditional food, in quiet and little restaurants, you can drink Ouzo, or the famous local Samos wine and just relax, admiring the landscape. There are also nice little shops, for those who want to buy souvenirs.
Do you want just a nice day for relaxation and swim?
Samos is full of great beaches! Your first stop may be Potami, the virgin beach on the north west of the island. It is a 8-10 km drive from Samos town. The sea is crystal clear and the color turned to light Havaiian blue. There stands one of the coolest place on the island, Hippies . You may take your lunch at this recommended cafe.
As the sun stars going down, go to Kokkari, one of the most beautiful towns on the way back to Samos town, a quiet environment, ideal for relaxation. Visit the local shops, where you can find everything you want.
Buy Metaxa, a great Greek brandy. Finish you day with a special meal, at Meltemi, a place where you are served directly on the beach, so you can eat while you are admiring the beautiful sunset.


Are you as fed up with many politicians as I am?
Do you want illegal aliens who have been arrested multiple times for felonies to be allowed to stay in this country? Really?
Do you want the lottery immigration to continue with almost zero background checks to continue? The Immigration and Naturalization Agency estimates up to 1,000 people with some ties to terrorism have been brought into our country this way.
Do you really want people who overstay their visas to stay without any oversight? Many of the 9/11 attackers did this, by the way!
Guess what, as long as we keep electing people like Tammy Baldwin (who votes against everything and refuses to even try work to solve these problems), Sen. John McCain, Sen. Chuck Schummer, Sen. Susan Collins, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and the list goes on, this will continue.
Notice I am an equal opportunity person. I call out both parties on this. Enough said.

A Xavante indigenous leader speaks out against the approval a proposed constitutional amendment that would put the demarcation of indigenous lands into the hands of the Congress, at the World Indigenous Games in Palmas, Brazil, Oct. 28, 2015.
A noisy demonstration broke out Wednesday during the 100-meter dash competition at the World Indigenous Games, forcing a premature end to the day's events at what organizers have described as the indigenous Olympics.
The protesters, a boisterous crowd made up mostly of native Brazilians in traditional dress, were outraged over a land demarcation proposal that they say would be catastrophic for Brazil's 300 or so surviving tribes.
The proposed constitutional amendment would transfer the right to demarcate indigenous lands from the executive branch to Brazil's Congress, which is heavily influenced by the powerful big agriculture lobby that has fought against indigenous reserves in the past.
A committee in the Chamber of Deputies approved the proposal late Tuesday, though it must get through the full lower house and Senate, then be signed by President Dilma Rousseff in order to become law.
Brandishing handwritten banners against the proposal, around 100 demonstrators breezed past security guards and onto the floor of the sporting arena in Palmas. Hundreds of others ran to join the group as spectators cheered them on.
The announcer initially ignored the mass of protesters — although, dressed in feathers body paint, with some brandishing spears or bows and arrows, they proved impossible to ignore.
Narube Werreria, a young woman from the Karaja nation, scrambled up into the VIP area and seized the microphone to deliver a heated attack on the proposal.
The protest was loud but peaceful. After about 20 minutes, the demonstrators turned and filed quietly out of the arena.
The crowd of a couple thousand spectators booed when organizers finally announced an end to the day's activities, inviting the crowd to return Thursday.
Panamanian Cesar Cires had been slated to take part in a demonstration of the traditional games of his Ngabe-Bugle people, but his event was among the activities scrapped.
Still, Cires said he supported the demonstrators.


Using state space representations, the author's previous work on fitting continuous time autoregressions to unequally spaced univariate data is extended to several multivariate models of practical importance. Continuous time multivariate first order autoregressions and the limiting case of multivariate random walks are used to model multiple medical observations collected at unequally spaced time points. Mean levels can be included in these models as constants to be estimated or as random variables with prior variances. Maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters allows the development of individual normal ranges so a physician can be alerted if a set of observations is out of line. Three examples based on medical data are presented. Extensions include optimal control when drug therapy is involved. Another application is transfer function estimation from unequally spaced data. A bicycle rider pedals against a load which varies as a stationary process. Various respiration gases are measured on a breath to breath basis which are unequally spaced in time. The transfer function of the body indicates the mechanisms of the body's response to exercise.


In this commentary I will focus on issues raised in my articles published in FQS (2002 and 2005) on the present state of the discussion in German-speaking interpretive sociology to which I will add a "tour d'horizon" of the corresponding state of affairs in some neighboring disciplines. After this "tour d'horizon" I will raise the questions (a) In what direction will genuine interpretive empirical research in the social sciences move? and (b) Is interpretive empirical research able to move and all? I will conclude by discussing the answers to both of these questions and their consequences for interpretive empirical research.


This is very interesting. Watch a Jayco Skylark travel trailer go through a 1,000 mile durability road test. The trailer is exposed to all kinds of road conditions. By the end of the test the trailer's punishment will approximate what a typical trailer will go through in its lifetime. The host of this four-minute video explains everything as you watch the trailer being tested. You should find this interesting.
What I see is a camper that is not fully loaded with all the stuff a family on vacation would use. Like an awning, propane tanks, and I bet there was no food or fresh water in the tanks on board either. If they use LED lights the current used should be a lot less than one quarter of the old lights. Of course they didn't show the results of the test.
I think that the idea of a lighter camping trailer is good why not got to europe and buy a few, bring them here and see how it goes with the public?
I would have to say that I would have liked them to had done three thing differently. For one, they could have gone in less detail about the track so they could cover the trailer more. Two, the trailer should have been load/equipped the at or near the max rating. And three, it would have been nice to see how the test effected the inside, if only a short shot. As far as we can tell this was only a shell with no interior to have jarred loose. I was not impressed nor comforted with this video, more fluff than fact.
Agree with the other two critical posters. The test seems entirely focused on the running gear. Durability is about body integrity, whether the interior furnishings hold together, etc. And how does Jayco define "a lifetime" of use?
This test was performed by the manufacturer, so no defects would be found. This is strictly an advertising gimmick. To do a real test for durability it would have to be done by someone other than the manufacturer.
I thought the GM truck held up very well. After all it went though the same rigorous test too right?
I own a Jayco and have had nothing but problems from the beginning when I bought it brand new. I will never own another Jayco.

Innovation, cost optimization, operational efficiency, customer satisfaction and differentiation are terms on the top of every company's list these days, industry and vertical notwithstanding. And increasingly, companies are turning to mobile technology to get an edge in these areas.
The price factor of devices, higher device capability and processing power as network ubiquity has developed, have come together to create an environment that is conducive for the adoption of enterprise mobility solutions.
To track and analyze the trajectories of the many companies operating in this space, NASSCOM and Frost and Sullivan have jointly created a Product Excellence Matrix (PEM) that tracks Indian product companies in the Enterprise Mobility area. The PEM provides a clear picture of the growth drivers and opportunities in the market for enterprise mobility, which globally stands at over $200 million (including BYOD enabling applications).
The PEM indicates that companies in the space are very young, with 80% having launched their solutions after 2010. It is also a highly fragmented market with numerous companies focused on niche markets, typically with revenues south of INR 5 Crore.
60% of the enterprise mobility products developed in India focus on vertical specific/ business function specific applications. This reflects a reality where the mobility game has gone beyond just connectivity for employees and enterprises, and is now a factor in organizations' strategic goal making and implementation. Mobile devices are becoming the primary screen for most people, and everyone today knows their way around a cell phone says Nikhil Nath, Founder and CEO of Knowcross, one of the firms cited as an exemplar (displaying a compelling value proposition aligned to the market, well-defined growth strategy and successful execution) in the report.
What do the vendors cater to?
While catering to a broad range of industries and business functions, enterprise mobility players tend to focus on creating platform agnostic, network agnostic, and back-end agnostic solutions so as to expand capabilities for fetching data from multiple systems. Mohammed Rijas of Attinad, a Thiruvananthapuram based company that features in the PEM as another exemplar, points to their platform being agnostic at the back end – it can talk to both home grown and specific solutions, thereby making it useable with any SAP or CRM system. Our middleware works on removing the last mile disconnects between field user and back end says Rijas. Such transferability is key for success.
Mobile workforce centric applications are a key focus area for enterprise mobility players, the PEM points out. Knowcross' Nath, whose TRITON platform is deployed in hotels worldwide, feels that mobile networks are ubiquitous and when coupled with the fact that one can buy a smart phone for under $ 100, this makes the reach of mobile workforce solutions expansive and accessible.
Until recently that was not the reality, which is why Knowcross waited in the wings until device costs went down and Wifi connectivity became ubiquitous. We chose not to jump in 3-4 years ago, and waited for the market to ripen, states Nath. As a result of general consumer awareness, reduced price points of devices, data connectivity on the floor and less clunky device availability, the solutions are now proliferating. Productivity gains will make up for the cost of the device, 10 times over, proclaims Nath, what with line staff receiving real time updates and instructions and thus their productivity increases between 20-40% just because they don't have to run around for the information. Workflow is optimized through the system and work allocation and parcelling takes places in a hyper efficient way, he adds. One client in the UK, the largest player in outsourced hotel cleaning, has deployed Knowcross's solution to increase productivity, and reaps significant benefits, as it charges for each room cleaned while paying employees by the hour. Knowcross now has over 200 clients and 20,000 users, with significantly higher revenues than the average for the PEM companies in the report.
We approached everything from a mobile first perspective and by harnessing the best of mobile, with its GIS capabilities says FieldEZ Founder & CEO, Balasubramanyam Mohan, whose product enables business processes to be on-boarded and taken mobile. Software firms in the space also know that building rich, domain specific applications is the way forward, and are thus going into verticals to incorporate industry specific functionalities, processes and best practices. One such case in point is Attinad, which offers a Mobility Consulting Framework. We become true partners to the organization, talking to IT directors, CIOs and helping them roll out their mobility framework. We have a mobile ROI calculator, and once you have the framework in place, it lays down the roadmap and you know what your three year plan is explains Rijas. The company has a focus on the oil and gas, telecom and healthcare verticals, and plans to expand the same.
There will be accelerated mobility adoption as the ecosystem continues to transform. We will see collaborative ecosystems and the maturing of apps, with a managed enterprise mobility environment. Vertical spread and domain relevance will continue to gain in importance, as will geo spatial functionalities. Incorporating 'Do It Yourself' capabilities will also become de rigueur so that there is easy out of the box usability, and the power is with the end user, who has configurability options, states Rijas, something Attinad's middleware already incorporates. Easy integrations with disparate back end systems, something all three exemplars have as part of their solutions, will also gain ubiquity. As Mohan puts it: our product offers complete service and sales force automation – we always tell our customers: re-imagine what you can do. The product allows any business to on-board its business process and takes it mobile, augmenting and not necessarily replacing the existing CRM.
Even in such a highly fragmented space with multiple players, the PEM indicates that there is room for everyone to grow; such is the potential and need for applications in an increasingly mobile hungry work force. Specialized services that cater to business verticals will help expand the market further. Niche services and providing the right fit solutions, with mobile capabilities that refine the way businesses operate, will lead the way forward and as the young companies mature, so will their offerings.
