RDTA can use basic element and few CSS class by default. Here is an example.

<div class="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-2">Tab 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-3">Tab 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
        <p>Tab 1 content.</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
        <p>Tab 2 content.</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-3">
        <p>Tab 3 content.</p>
    </div>
</div>

To make tabs work, it must be manually activate once document loaded.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    RDTATabs.init('.tabs');
});

Twice the Bella is fine with us.
Sister Gigi Hadid may be one of fashion's most-wanted, but Bella is playing catch up.
First came her turn on the Chanel runway, something that helped cement Gigi's supermodel status. Then, Bella followed her big sister by scoring not one, but two turns on Love Magazine's advent calendar.
The first video features Bella alongside Stella Maxwell and Kelly Rohrbach in a tribute to the cult classic movie Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! She plays a femme fetale with a getaway car and a knife she's not afraid to use — not unlike her role in The Weeknd's music video.
The second sees Bella solo as Wonder Woman. In this cute and quirky take on the superhero, she can't quite get her costume change right — but once she does, Bella takes off in Wonder Woman's invisible jet.
It's double the Bella, double the fun — and with double the jobs, she'll no doubt be topping fashion's influencer lists right alongside Gigi very soon.

HB586 Aims to Keep PFAS Out of Our Drinking Water - Effective July 1, 2020
August 4, 2020 | Environmental Law
Alina Kruk / Shutterstock.com
Unless you are familiar with operations at a large manufacturing facility or a military installation, chances are you are unfamiliar with the term PFAS. Regardless of your familiarity with perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS (for short), it is highly likely that you have them in your body, and they are accumulating.
PFAS are a man-made family of chemicals, with PFOA and PFOS being the most prominent. These substances have been used for household and industrial purposes in the United States since the 1940s. They show up in food packaging, non-stick cookware, firefighting foams, and a variety of other products. They are also turning up in drinking water systems, especially in communities near a PFAS producing facility.
PFAS is commonly found in firefighting foams
(bibiphoto / Shutterstock.com)
As of May 2020, PFAS contamination has been found in 1,582 locations in 49 states (5 sites in Virginia Beach and on the Peninsula). These are often called "Forever Chemicals," because they do not break down over time. They are persistent in the human body and in the environment, and they build up over time. Although the full scope of the health effects are still being studied, it appears that these chemicals are associated with increased risk of certain cancers, increased cholesterol levels, decreased fertility, and preeclampsia. In short, PFAS have adverse effects on human health and the environment, and they last forever.
The Virginia General Assembly in the 2020 session enacted House Bill 586 (HB586). It directs the Virginia Commissioner of Health to measure the current levels of PFAS in our drinking water and offers that agency the option to develop recommendations for the maximum amount of PFAS that should be allowed in our drinking water. The new law took effect on July 1, 2020.
Who Regulates PFAS?
On the federal level, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has played a key role in the assessment of PFAS in drinking water and raising public awareness as to the dangers of PFAS. In 2016, the EPA created health advisories for PFOA and PFOS at 70 parts per trillion. These advisories, however, are used only to provide information to state and local agencies and create no enforceable requirements.
A few years later, in February 2019, the EPA launched a PFAS action plan, in order to more uniformly and strategically address the effects of PFAS in the environment. With a year under its belt, the EPA has developed a new drinking water test method (EPA Method 533), continued monitoring PFAS, and in February 2020, proposed to regulate PFOA and PFOS on a national level (a "proposed rule" is not enforceable unless and until it completes the regulatory process, at which time it is issued as a "final rule").

A federal law, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), applies to all "public water systems" in the United States (there are approximately 151,000). It creates enforceable limits on certain contaminants to ensure that the drinking water that comes out of the tap is safe for humans to drink. Currently, the EPA regulates more than 90 drinking water contaminants through this act, but there is no established maximum contaminant level (MCL) for PFAS.
When an MCL is established, it is enforceable through fines (imposed administratively or by a court) and through criminal prosecution. Further, every five years, the EPA is required to publish a list of unregulated contaminants that are suspected to be in the public drinking water systems. The SDWA authorizes the EPA to collect data on these (unregulated) contaminants and can support eventual regulatory determinations, if necessary. EPA is looking to monitor PFAS in the next cycle with a view toward establishing an MCL at a near-future date.
PFAS is commonly found in nonstick cookware

Another federal law, the Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act unveiled the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) list. Its purpose is to track certain chemicals that may threaten human health and the environment. Certain U.S. facilities, typically large facilities involving manufacturing, metal mining, etc., are required to report annually quantities of listed chemicals that they release into the environment, whether the release is to air or water.
This year, 172 PFAS chemicals have been added to the list, which brings the total amount of individually listed chemicals to 767. This list raises public awareness regarding chemicals that U.S. companies release into the environment. It was Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis who wrote that sunlight is the best disinfectant. In a classic example proving the general truth of this adage, many firms change their behavior by eliminating listed chemicals from their operation so as to do away with the need to publicly report that they are releasing the listed chemicals, which can sicken people, into the community. The list also supplies data that legislative bodies (such as the Virginia General Assembly) and regulatory agencies can use to protect human health and the environment through development of new regulations or enforcement of existing regulations.
In Virginia, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") is the state's version of the EPA. It writes the environmental regulations for Virginia, provides guidance to industry and the public regarding the environmental laws and regulations, and it also enforces these laws and regulations in Virginia. Water quality and supply fall within the DEQ portfolio of responsibilities. The DEQ has not yet been given the authority to regulate PFAS but this may change as a result of the data gathering mandated by HB586.
What is HB586?
The 2020 Virginia General Assembly enacted HB586, which is a first-step in the process of controlling PFAS in our drinking water. The new law requires the Commissioner of Health to assemble a work group to collect information about PFAS in our drinking water and report its findings to the General Assembly not later than December 1, 2021. Specifically, HB586 requires the work group to find out how much PFAS we have in our drinking water in Virginia, identify the sources that are releasing the PFAS into our drinking water, evaluate the effectiveness of the regulatory approaches for PFAS used by other states and by the federal government, and suggest an appropriate MCL that Virginia might use to control the levels in our drinking water for the various chemicals in the PFAS family of chemicals.
Does HB586 Change Things?
When reading the new law at face value, it may look as if it doesn't change things. However, Virginia seems to be following the EPA's lead by enacting HB586. Even with the push by the EPA to focus more attention on PFAS, this class of chemicals is still widely unregulated. Just this year, the EPA proposed to regulate two of the various PFAS chemicals (through issuance of a "proposed rule") and the success of that effort remains to be seen.
HB586 causes Virginia to direct its focus on PFAS chemicals specifically, rather than evaluating a widespread list of chemicals. It forces the state to take some action in evaluating how these chemicals affect Virginia's public drinking water and foreshadows regulations that will be developed at the state level, based on the work group's findings. We are cautiously optimistic that, HB586 has set events into motion that will lead to an appropriately tailored solution that delivers safe drinking water to the people of Virginia.

Reverse Image Search with iPhone
By theuniversalfacts April 1, 2020 How To 0 Comments
One of the useful functions of Google is the possibility to search from an image, without limiting yourself to words. In essence, this is called "reverse image search": you can use pictures to find text … or other photos, without using version to see images.
Journalists can apply the reverse search option to find the source of the image or to find out when it first appeared on the Internet. Photographers can use the "Image Search" feature to find other websites that use their photos.
Reverse image search in the Chrome browser has been with us for many years, but Google can't reverse the image search from available Android. What happens when you want to perform a reverse image search from a mobile device? Fortunately, we have many options.
Google has built a reverse image search function on phones and tablets, albeit on a minimal basis.
First of all, you cannot do a traditional reverse image search using the official Google app or using images.google.com in mobile browsers like Safari or Chrome. The camera icon doesn't appear in the search bar, so there is no way to upload an image for reverse search in Google mobile search.
Chrome browser application for iOS and Android supports the reverse image search solution. When you have the photo you want to search, press and hold the context menu until it appears, then select "Search for this image on Google" (it doesn't work in the Google application or other browsers, not even in Safari).
It is for some reason it doesn't work; you can also choose an open photo. Then copy the URL or link, go back to images.google.com and paste the URL, but that adds extra steps.
With these two methods, the results of the reverse image search are visible, and you can click on the option "More sizes" at the top to see only the images. You have opportunities to refine your queries, such as searching for animated GIFs, searching in clipart equivalents, or the color scheme used in the original image.
Another solution is to use the "Search by image" site on the reverse Photos. It is a straightforward page with scripts to make Google reverse image search work, which helps you quickly find visually similar images on the web.
It's easy to use, just go to reverse. Photos on your phone, click on the "Upload Image" button, and select the image from your device's photo gallery. Then click "Show matching images," and it will add your photo to Google's image database and visually show you similar images.

How to Reverse Google Image Search from iPhone?
We will tell you how to search Google from an image.
Have you ever seen a photo on Instagram and want to know where it came from, or do you think someone on their Tinder profile is not theirs, and you want to be transparent? To find out, you can reverse the image search on Google, the world's largest Internet search engine, but keep in mind that these tools are reliable, but not 100% accurate.
The policy is the same on Android and iOS. The 1st thing you need to do is save the image you want to search for on your cell phone and open the Google Chrome app on your phone. Then you need to change the browser mode to the desktop and non-mobile version, which appears by default.
To follow this, Go to the menu at the top of Android and the bottom of iOS, select from the drop-down list in Google Chrome and press the "Request a desktop version" option.
After you change it, the appearance of Chrome is the same as the desktop version. Now select the camera icon next to the search bar and select "Download image."
Click on "Select a file" and select the image you want in your gallery so that Google displays the photos in its search engine or if it does not already exist.
This method is advantageous to know where the product is that we want to buy and which we have seen the image on some social networks and not to get caught up in your online purchases.

Mac Miller Dead of Apparent Drug Overdose at 26
The rap world loses another young talent far too soon. According to TMZ, Mac Miller was found dead after an apparent drug overdose in his San Fernando Valley home in California at noon today (Sept. 7). He was only 26.
XXL has reached out to Mac Miller's team for comment. According to ABC's local Los Angeles news affiliate, an investigation into the death of Mac Miller is currently underway. A male friend of Mac's reportedly called 911 when he was found unresponsive, and emergency personnel responded to treat an individual experiencing cardiac arrest.
Mac's family has issued a statement in light of his death. "Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26," they told Rolling Stone. "He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time."
The hip-hop community spoke out in numbers in light of Mac's passing. Artists who were especially close to him, such as Wiz Khalifa, Post Malone, Earl Sweatshirt and Chance The Rapper expressed their heartbreak on social media.
A few months before his death, Miller had been in a drunk driving accident that saw his vehicle totaled. Mac fled the scene but later turned himself in, and his blood alcohol level was found to be more than twice the legal limit. The accident, which ultimately saw Miller arrested for DUI, spotlighted what some saw as a troubling personal trajectory for Miller, whose ex-girlfriend, Ariana Grande, had split from him just a month prior. The musical couple had been dating for two years—a relationship that Ariana later called "toxic." In the hours since his death was announced, the comments section of her Instagram has been closed after fans flooded them blaming her for his death.
Substance abuse was a topic Miller seemingly touched upon on his most recent album, Swimming, which saw the rapper detailing the way he lived his live with alcoholism and patterns of drug abuse.
While Miller had been dealing with some issues, his career was in good standing. He was all set to embark upon his Swimming tour next month, and he'd just performed his Swimming track, "Hurt Feelings," in Los Angeles this past Monday (Sept. 3).

CATHAL DERVAN
Dublin boss Anthony Daly saw his side secure a nine point win in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Sunday (4-14 to 1-14), but knows the performance was less than satisfactory against a Cork development side. "I wasn't happy going out onto the field that we were 100% right - and we played like that," said Daly after the 4-14 to 1-14 win. "In the second half, some of the lads were in the comfort zone thinking that the wind would win it for them. Goals don't come when you don't go to the ball. "We will get blown out of it against Galway next week if we don't go to the ball."

Egan Bernal set to impress at unpredictable Tour de France
by: SAMUEL PETREQUIN, Associated Press
Posted: Jul 1, 2019 / 02:13 PM UTC / Updated: Jul 1, 2019 / 04:02 PM UTC
FILE – In this June 23, 2019 file photo, Egan Bernal from Colombia of Team Ineos lifts the trophy after winning the Tour de Suisse at the ninth and final stage, a 101.5 km race with start and finish in Goms, Switzerland, at the 83rd Tour de Suisse UCI ProTour cycling race. Gifted with superb bike handling and climbing skills, Bernal has matured by leaps and bounds to become cycling's most exciting Grand Tour rider, and one for the top contenders at cycling's Tour de France which starts this weekend from Belgium. (Urs Flueeler/Keystone via AP, File)
PARIS (AP) — Egan Bernal is just 22 years old. Two years younger than Eddy Merckx was when the Belgian great won his first Tour de France half a century ago.
Gifted with superb bike handling and climbing skills, Bernal has matured by leaps and bounds to become cycling's most exciting Grand Tour rider, and one of the top contenders at cycling's marquee three-week race, which starts this weekend from Belgium.
Even Merckx, who has seen myriads of riders trying to emulate his feat over the years, has been impressed. In March, the five-time winner tipped Bernal as a future Tour champion after the Colombian phenomenon won the prestigious Paris-Nice one-week race at a younger age than he did.
Bernal's time to deliver on the biggest stage was not supposed to come so early, though.
After competing at his first Tour last summer and doing an impressive job in support of teammates Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome, Bernal was set to get a maiden leader experience at a three-week race at the Giro d'Italia this Spring. But a training crash left him with a collarbone fracture that ruled him out of the race and left him on the sidelines for 76 days.
Bernal returned to competition with a bang, winning the Tour de Suisse at the end of June.
For all his prowess, he was set to keep a low profile this summer and to ride in support of Froome. But the British star rider suffered a horrific crash at the Criterium du Dauphine that ended both his hopes of winning a record-equaling fifth Tour title, and season.
With Froome out of the picture, the leadership at Ineos — the former Sky team —logically fell to Thomas, the defending Tour champion. But Thomas' preparations for the Tour have been far from ideal. He has not won a race this season and, even worse, abandoned the Tour de Suisse this month after crashing before the race hit the mountains, meaning he did not test his legs at high altitude in racing conditions.
Bernal keeps saying he will race in support of Thomas but, as was shown last year when Froome accepted to work for Thomas, hierarchy within the Ineos squad is defined by performances on the road.
"I don't choose to say that I'm the favorite," Bernal said after his victory in Switzerland. "In any case, I will go with G (Thomas), he will be our leader. I will try to help him. If he's better than me, for sure I will help him. I don't have any problems to help him. I'm just 22 years old, so I think that I have a lot of Tours in front of me."
With Bernal touted as cycling's future star, it is fitting that the Tour starts in Brussels to mark the 50th anniversary of the first of Merckx's five Tour victories.
The route features five summit finishes, including three stages finishing above 2,000 meters, and only 54 kilometers of time trialing. That perfectly suits Bernal's qualities. A natural-born climber, he has developed into an all-rounder capable of limiting time losses to minimum damage in the race against the clock.
The 3,480-kilometer (2,145-mile) race begins with a flat stage for sprinters around the city of Brussels and stays there the next day for a 27-kilometer (17-mile) team time trial. After leaving Belgium, the Tour snakes through the Champagne and Lorraine regions before a first mountain test at the Planche des Belles Filles, in Alsace.
This year's best bits include Stage 14 on July 20 that features a climb up the Tourmalet pass — one of the most famed in Tour history — and three days of Alpine climbing on stages 18-20. There is an ascent up the leg-breaking Galibier and imposing Iseran — standing 2,770 meters (9,100 feet) — and a relentless 33.4-kilometer (20.7-mile) trek up to the ski resort of Val Thorens.
"This year we often go higher than 2,000 meters," race director Christian Prudhomme told The Associated Press. "Because we are also celebrating the centenary of the yellow jersey. This jersey embodies excellency; it is pushing toward higher height."
After years of Team Sky's total dominance, the narrative of the race is likely to change. Ineos remains the strongest squad, with experienced riders including Wout Poels, Gianni Moscon and Michal Kwiatkowski, but Froome's absence, coupled with the withdrawal of last year's runner-up Tom Dumoulin, has reshuffled the game and produced a long list of top contenders.
Among them, two-time Dauphine winner Jakob Fuglsang has big expectations on the back of an already successful season. Runner-up at the Giro, Vincenzo Nibali chases a fifth Grand Tour win and Adam Yates will try to trade the white jersey of best young rider he won in 2016 with a yellow tunic. France has also good chances of getting its first homegrown Tour winner since 1985 with Romain Bardet or Thibaut Pinot. To sum it up, this Tour has the potential to produce fireworks, not only on Bastille Day.

Maynard Dixon, Artist born
Maynard Dixon
*Maynard Dixon was born on this date in 1875. He was a white-American artist whose work focused on the American West.
He was born Lafayette Maynard Dixon in Fresno, California, after his maternal grandfather. His family of aristocratic Virginia Confederates had found a new home in California after the American Civil War. His mother, Constance Maynard, a well-educated daughter of a Navy officer from San Francisco, shared her love of classic literature with the young boy and encouraged him in his writing and drawing. His father was Harry St. John Dixon. Young Dixon moved to San Francisco and studied briefly in 1893 at the California School of Design, where he became a close friend of the Tonalist painter Xavier Martinez, with whom he traveled to Monterey, Carmel, and Point Lobos.
In 1900 Dixon visited Arizona and Mexico, and a year later, he accompanied artist Edward Borein on a horseback trip through several western states. To ensure a steady income, he worked as an illustrator for local newspapers and magazines (including the Overland Monthly and Sunset magazine). He illustrated numerous books, such as Clarence E. Mulford's Hopalong Cassidy. For his first exhibition in the southwest, Dixon contributed four oils to the show of Modern Art from The American West curated at the University of Arizona in Tucson in December of 1912. In 1917, to support America's entry into World War I, Dixon joined other prominent artists on a committee to redesign the U.S. Army camouflage.
During his long tenure in northern California, he became a prolific contributor to art exhibitions. His first publicized exhibition was a show of "regional artists" in Alameda, California, during the spring of 1899. Thereafter he exhibited at almost every major venue: California Society of Artists (1902); Bohemian Club (1903–1928); San Francisco Art Association (1903–1931); Newspaper Artists League (1903); Press Club (1904); Hotel Del Monte Art Gallery (1907–1909); Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915); Gump's Gallery (1920 – solo exhibition); San Francisco Print Rooms (1920 – this show was later sent to Honolulu); San Francisco's Don Lee Galleries (1923); Oakland Art Gallery (1926–1928); Galerie Beaux-Arts (1925–1930); Queen Califia in the Room of the Dons at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco (1926); the University of California, Berkeley (1928); California State Fair (1928); and Golden Gate International Exposition (1939). In March 1926, he acted as co-curator for an exhibit of "Pueblo and Navajo Arts & Crafts" at the Paul Elder Gallery of San Francisco under the auspices of the Indian Defense Association of Central and Northern California.
Influenced in part by the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915, Dixon began to search for a new expression, moving away from impressionism and into a simpler, more modern style. Meeting and marrying Dorothea Lange, a portrait photographer from the east, had a great influence on his art.
They married in 1920, and by 1925, the year their first son was born, Maynard's style had changed dramatically to even more powerful compositions with an emphasis on design, color, and self-expression. A true modernist emerged. During the Great Depression, Dixon painted a series of social realism canvases depicting the prevailing politics of maritime strikes, displaced workers, and those affected by the depression. Simultaneously, Lange captured on film images of the migrant workers in the Salinas Valley and the city breadlines, images that eventually brought her fame.
During the summer of 1931, he exhibited at the Tahoe Tavern on Lake Tahoe. For a time, he lived in New York with his young wife and baby daughter Constance but soon returned to the western United States, where he said he could create "honest art of the west" instead of the romanticized versions he was being paid for to create. In 1933 the Dixons spent the summer in Zion National Park with vacations to the hamlet of Mount Carmel, Utah. Shortly after he began a new life in San Francisco, his first marriage ended. Lange was called back to San Francisco, a separation that led to the couple's divorce in 1935.
Dixon is considered one of the finest artists who dedicated most of their art to the U.S. southwestern cultures and landscapes at the end of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century.
Two years later, Dixon married San Francisco muralist Edith Hamlin. The couple left San Francisco two years later for southern Utah, the source of some of Dixon's greatest art. In 1939, the couple built a summer home in Mount Carmel, where Dixon found new friends and became reacquainted with the local natural landscapes. He lived near the cottonwood trees along an old irrigation ditch and took short hikes to a plateau where he loved the quiet. Dixon spent winter months in Tucson, where the couple also had a home and studio. He continued to create simple but powerful compositions in which non-essential elements were distilled or eliminated.
Maynard Dixon died on November 11, 1946, in Tucson. In the spring of 1947, his widow Edith brought his ashes to Mount Carmel, where she buried them on a high bluff above the art studio being built on the property. This had been at his request, and she felt it a fitting tribute where friends could come to pay respects and view the land he loved.

In its April 2014 report, Bridge to Career Success, TechLadder (an initiative of the NOVA Workforce Board) identified five key factors for career success that extend beyond technical skill proficiency. These "5 Truths of Career Success" (detailed below) are building blocks for developing personal leadership, entrepreneurism, confidence and self-efficacy, the traits that tech employers value.
commissioned the Economic Advancement Research Institute to conduct this research as part of a strategic planning effort to expand its sector-driven portfolio into the IT/Tech industry.
The Job Training Alliance (JTA) released their impact report on quality job training programs: "Job Training: Works, Pays and Saves." This report, supported by SkillWorks, contains extremely compelling data proving the significant return on investment on quality job training programs for the participants served, taxpayers, and the economy as a whole.
Funded in part by SkillWorks, Barry Bluestone and his team at the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy conducted research and released this report to assess the views of CVTE administrators, students, graduates, employers and parents, and the public at large and elevate the overall value of Vocational Technical Education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (January 2016).
SkillWorks, the Workforce Solutions Group, and a broad group of stakeholders issued a set of workforce policy recommendations for the next governor of Massachusetts (July 2014).
SkillWorks' funders completed a strategic plan in early 2013 to guide investments and priorities in Phase III of the initiative (2014-2018).
A profile of Children's Hospital Boston's tuition advancement benefit, a systems change developed with the support of hospital administration, SkillWorks, and the Healthcare Training Institute (August 2011).
In 2003, the Boston funder collaborative launched SkillWorks: Partners for a Productive Workforce, an ambitious, five-year initiative to improve the way the city's workforce development system serves low-income adults and employers. SkillWorks has since become a national model, inspiring other communities and states to launch similar initiatives. This report, by JFF's Geri Scott, looks at what SkillWorks has to tell us about the formation of partnerships, engaging employers, aligning resources around a common goal, and the challenges in advancing low-skilled adults toward family-sustaining incomes.
Prepared by the Workforce Solutions Group for SkillWorks, this document tells the stories of Massachusetts residents using the current workforce development system.
This paper, prepared for SkillWorks by the Workforce Solutions Group, shows that Massachusetts's very weak job-generating performance since 2000 calls for a major strengthening of economic development efforts, and that there is a clear need to improve ties between the state's economic development and workforce development systems.
This 2006 paper, prepared for SkillWorks by the Workforce Solutions Group, analyzes employment and job vacancy developments in Massachusetts by occupational category in recent years both at the state level and in selected sub-state areas, and it assesses the implications of these findings for future workforce development planning and policymaking in the Commonwealth.
This 2005 paper, prepared for SkillWorks by the Workforce Solutions Group, analyzes industry employment and job vacancy developments in Massachusetts in recent years, both at the state level and in selected sub-state areas, and it assesses the implications of these findings for workforce development planning and policymaking.
To assist the Workforce Solutions Group in its research and public policy promotion work in support of SkillWorks, the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University has been engaged in a series of research activities on labor market developments in Massachusetts and their implications for the planning and design of future job training programs. The first research paper in this series describes the key data sources used in conducting the above analyses and explains the concepts and measures underlying the various employment and job vacancy estimates.
Community health workers are essential to the U.S. public health system. They work in diverse settings and under myriad titles to improve access to health care for underserved populations using culturally appropriate methods. Despite their importance, community health workers are often not well rewarded, and their job tenure is unstable. Well-defined career paths are lacking, as are systematic skills sets and credentials recognized across work settings and usable for higher education.
With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, SkillWorks: Partners for a Productive Workforce asked JFF to recommend adaptations of the SkillWorks Workforce Partnership model in order to apply that approach to career advancement for community health workers. As the basis for these recommendations, JFF conducted research on the challenges to and national best practices for the advancement of community health workers.
This paper, prepared for SkillWorks by the Workforce Solutions Group, examines earnings of Massachusetts adult workers. It seeks to address such issues as: how well year-round, full-time workers in Massachusetts fared in improving their real annual earnings during the 1990s, how changes in earnings varied across gender, educational attainment, race-ethnic, and nativity subgroups, how successful Massachusetts full-time, year-round workers in 1999 were in earning enough to support a family of four, and how rising inequality developments in Massachusetts compared to those in the other 49 states.
SkillWorks: Partners for a Productive Workforce is addressing the needs of employers for more skilled workers and of workers for more and better access to jobs that pay a family-supporting wage. This five-year, public/private partnership is an ambitious effort on the part of philanthropy, government, community organizations, unions, and employers to change how workforce development is done in Boston. In Reinventing Workforce Development, Jerry Rubin and Geri Scott of JFF describe the start-up of this unprecedented initiative, focusing on its implications for workforce development throughout the nation. JFF helped design SkillWorks and now oversees its implementation as a consultant to the Funders Group, comprised of eight foundations, the City of Boston, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Operation Südost
'Südost' was the German seizure of the rump of Czechoslovakia (15 March 1939).
Following the Munich agreement of September 1938, which gave Germany the Sudeten northern, western and southern border regions of Czechoslovakia, in November 1938 Emil Hácha succeeded Edvard Benes as president of the renamed Czecho-Slovakia, a federated republic comprising Bohemia and Moravia, Slovakia, and Carpatho-Ukraine. Stripped of its defensive frontier regions and thus deprived of its costly system of border fortifications, the new state was militarily indefensible.
In January 1939, negotiations between Germany and Poland broke down and Adolf Hitler, intent on war against Poland, needed to remove Czecho-Slovakia from the central European equation. On 13 January Hitler therefore scheduled a German invasion of Bohemia and Moravia for the morning of 15 March and, meanwhile, negotiated with the Slovak People's Party and Hungary to prepare the dismemberment of the republic before the invasion. On 13 March, Hitler invited Tiso to Berlin, and on the following day the Slovak Diet met and unanimously declared Slovak independence. Carpatho-Ukraine also declared independence but Hungarian troops occupied it on 15 March and eastern Slovakia on 23 March.
Hitler summoned Hácha to Berlin and during the early hours of 15 March informed him of the imminent German invasion. Threatening a major air attack on Prague, Hitler persuaded Hácha to order the capitulation of the Czech army. Hácha suffered a heart attack during the meeting, and had to be kept awake by medical staff, eventually giving in and accepting Hitler's surrender terms. Then on the morning of 15 March German troops entered Bohemia and Moravia, meeting no resistance. The Hungarian invasion of Carpatho-Ukraine did encounter resistance, but this was quickly crushed.
On 16 March, Hitler went to Czechoslovakia and from Prague Castle proclaimed Bohemia and Moravia to be the Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren (Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia). Much of Slovakia and all of Subcarpathian Ruthenia were annexed by Hungary, while Poland occupied Zaolzie, an area with Polish minority, in October 1938.
The long-term German plan was to eliminate the concept of Czech nationality through assimilation, deportation and extermination of the intelligentsia, and in fact the intellectual elite and middle class represented a considerable proportion of the 200,000 people who passed through concentration camps and the 250,000 who died during German occupation. The 'Generalplan Ost' was created on the assumption that some 50% of the Czech population would be fit for 'Germanisation', and that the intellectual elite was to be removed not only from Czech territories but from Europe completely. The 'Generalplan Ost' was based on the assumption that it would be best if the intellectual elite emigrated overseas as even in Siberia it could become a threat to German rule.
The deportation of Jews to concentration camps was soon being planned and implemented, and the fortress town of Terezín was made into a ghetto way-station for Jewish families. On 4 June 1942 the Reichsprotektor, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, died after being wounded in 'Anthropoid', and his successor, SS-Oberstgruppenführer Kurt Daluege, ordered mass arrests and executions as well as the destruction of the villages of Lidice and Lezáky. In 1943 the German war effort was accelerated, and under Karl Hermann Frank, German minister of state for the Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren, some 350,000 Czech labourers were dispatched to the Reich. Within the protectorate, all non-war-related industry was prohibited.
For the population of the Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren, the German occupation was a period of brutal oppression. Czech losses resulting from political persecution and deaths in concentration camps reached a figure between 36,000 and 55,000. The Jewish population of Bohemia and Moravia, which had been 118,000 according to the 1930 census, was effectively eliminated: many Jews emigrated after 1939, more than 70,000 were killed, and 8,000 survived at Terezín. Several thousand Jews managed to live in freedom or in hiding throughout the occupation.
Even so, despite the estimated 136,000 deaths at the hands of the Nazi regime, the population in the Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren saw a net increase of about 250,000 in the period from 1939 to 1945.

Bermuda: Bermuda Public Companies Update – July 2019
by Graham B.R. Collis , David Cooke , Marcello Ausenda and Niel Jones
In the latest edition of our Bermuda Public Companies Update we recap significant transactions involving Bermuda public companies over the period H1 2019.
The first half of 2019 saw a notable slow-down in global market activity from the same period last year. Capital raised in the global IPO market fell by 37%, with volume down 34% on last year. A total of US$69.8 billion was raised across 514 IPO deals. In contrast, North America was the only region to show an increase in capital raised, up 13%. The US domestic IPO market rebounded in early 2019 after a slow end to last year. H1 2019 saw a parade of high-value tech companies go public in the US, and despite the Uber and Lyft IPOs, investor demand remains generally robust, though trading has been volatile.
Similarly, while global M&A volume has been underwhelming in H1 2019, US M&A activity has remained high with seven of the top ten deals of the year being domestic US deals.
Bermuda companies update
Market activity for Bermuda public companies listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq has generally followed the US trend, with several M&A transactions announced and/or completed, particularly in the finance and technology sectors. Although there have been no Bermuda company IPOs on US exchanges so far in 2019 (compared to two in H1 2018) there have been two direct listings of Bermuda companies, one on the NYSE and one on Nasdaq:
Flex LNG Ltd., a Bermuda-incorporated oil and gas storage and transportation company controlled by shipping magnate John Fredriksen, completed a direct listing on the NYSE in June under the symbol "FLNG". Flex was the first listing of an ocean shipping company on a major US exchange in four years and may be the first sign of an up-tick in the shipping markets after several difficult years. We feature the Bermuda shipping market elsewhere in this bulletin.
Watford Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda-incorporated property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company, parent of Bermuda reinsurer Watford Re, began trading its common shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in June, under the symbol "WTRE".
There have been a large number of fixed income and secondary offerings in the first half of this year, including two tranches of senior unsecured notes offered by IHS Markit in April for a total value of US$1 billion.
M&A activity over the period included the acquisition by Bermuda-based Invesco Ltd. of Oppenheimer Funds Inc. for US$5.7 billion. Conyers advised Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company as seller on the deal.
We have included details of the market activity referenced above in this edition of our update, along with statistical information about the Bermuda public companies market, which we hope will be of interest to our legal colleagues, clients and Bermuda market followers.

NYSE listing of Bermuda company Flex LNG Ltd. could signify sea change in shipping capital markets
The listing of Bermuda shipping company Flex LNG Ltd. on the New York Stock Exchange in June may be a hint of better times to come for the maritime and offshore oil and gas industries. Flex LNG, controlled by Norwegian billionaire John Fredriksen, is an emerging player in the liquified natural gas shipping business.
Since 2014, the shipping sector has experienced considerable challenges accessing the equity capital markets. Lack of investor appetite means there has not been a US IPO by a shipping company since June 2015. Flex LNG used a direct listing – in which the shares begin trading but no new capital is raised – as an alternative way to improve liquidity. In fact, Flex LNG is the third shipping company to directly list on a major US exchange this year. Flex LNG's CEO Oystein Kalleklev told delegates at a recent Marine Money conference in New York that the direct listing process was relatively easy and offered speed and cost advantages.
Flex LNG Ltd. was already listed on the Oslo stock exchange and will now be dual-listed. The company is not the only Fredriksen-backed shipping entity to graduate from Oslo to New York to source deeper pools of capital – others that started on the Oslo Børs include Frontline (NYSE:FRO) and Golden Ocean (Nasdaq:GOGL). The last six years have seen several shipping and shipping-related companies incorporate in Bermuda and go on to list on the Oslo Stock Exchange, including Avance Gas, Borr Drilling, BW LPG, Odfjell Drilling and Team Tankers International. The Norwegian over-the-counter market (OTC) has also proved a popular way to access equity, used by both GoodBulk and 2020 Tankers. A New York listing may yet be in the future for some of these companies, should market conditions improve.
Other notable developments in the Bermuda shipping sector include moves by two companies to streamline and focus on core businesses. Bermuda headquartered Teekay Corporation (NYSE:TK) completed the sale of its interests in Teekay Offshore to Brookfield Business Partners in May. The corporation stated that the divestment of its remaining interests in Teekay Offshore was aligned with its strategy to simplify and focus on its core gas and tanker businesses: Teekay LNG Partners LP (NYSE:TGP) and Teekay Tankers (NYSE:TNK). Also in May, Golar LNG Limited (Nasdaq:GLNG) announced the decision to spin off its LNG carrier business and focus on infrastructure for floating liquefied natural gas and downstream assets.

Excellent choice if you want to try some different. Good for couples. It's cozy and a little bit elegant. Not a casual one.
Muy rico, excelente lugar para disfrutar una comida gourmet y probar cosas diferentes. No es nada barato pero creo que lo vale. Pedimos un platillo para 2 personas y nos sirvieron por cuenta de la casa un carpaccio muy rico y pan con mantequilla.
