NOTE from 2017-08-16: This guide covers only Debian 8 "Jessie" (now oldstable). There are more steps required to successfully boot newer Debian 9 "Stretch" from F2FS partition.
This article describes how to install Debian Jessie on F2FS formatted drive partition. It's very useful when Debian is going to be installed on a flash-based drive. Because Debian installer doesn't support it yet, the only way is to install it on partition with supported file system, backup all files, format the partition to F2FS and copy all files back.
I suppose that you are familiar with creating Debian installation medium and installing it on the computer's hard drive. So we only need to prepare the following things.
A computer where Debian is going to be installed.
Install Debian as you would do normally. I prefer text-mode installation. Make sure to have /boot mounted on separate partition because F2FS doesn't have to be supported by boot loader (here it's GRUB). If you choose LVM automatic partitioning, /boot partition is created automatically. In this guide I don't use LVM, only regular partitions with default formatting options.
I recommend choosing only the base system packages (standard system utilities). It will save us some time during file copying, the remaining packages can be installed later using tasksel. You can see my Debian installation guide if you want.
If using default format options during installation, we end up with ext4 formatted root partition. Once the installation is finished, we need to back up all files, reformat partition and move the files back. Some information can also be found in my Raspbian installation guide where I also use F2FS file system.
We need to install some packages from the official repository for proper F2FS support. This step must be done before the file backup (otherwise the new configuration would not be transferred).
For F2FS to be supported at boot time, we must add F2FS module to initramfs file. Add f2fs at the end of /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file and rebuild initramfs.
$ sudo sh -c "echo f2fs >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules"
Now let's modify /etc/fstab. Because the new partition format changes its UUID, we need to replace partition UUID with its mount point (find it by executing sudo blkid). Also, change ext4 to f2fs and errors=remount-ro to defaults.
It is important to boot from live medium or connect the drive to another computer. I will use Debian live CD (standard, without GUI).
User/password combination is user/live. Use the following commands if you use LVM (I don't use it in this how-to, so we can skip this).
We need only F2FS support to be installed.
Prepare your backup drive with sufficient capacity to hold data from all partitions which you are going to format. Plug it in the computer and mount it for example in /mnt/backup directory. Note: from now on your drive names may differ.
Create a new directory on your backup drive, for example debian.
Now find what partitions need to be backed up. My computer's hard drive is /dev/sda.
To see what mount point the partition is assigned to, type mount. Mine is /dev/sda3. Now mount the drive to /mnt/drive.
Copy all files from computer's hard drive to our backup drive, unmount the source drive and format it to F2FS.
Now mount the drive again and copy all backed-up files back on it.
Let's switch to chroot environment.
Now update GRUB information. It might be useful to repeat this step once the system reboots.
Now we are ready to reboot.


Professionals in this area are often involved in analyzing employees in their work environments. Kinesiologists look at the work spaces, practices, tools, and demands of the job so as to improve worker safety and productivity. Kinesiologists with ergonomics training take a "whole body" systems approach to studying these challenges and are often involved in determining ways of reducing or eliminating repetitive strain or overuse injuries. Kinesiologists are also involved in the design of new workspaces, equipment, and processes with an eye to preventing poor worker/machine interface. Alternatively they might have to examine areas where there are known problems and identify solutions. Many kinesiologists work for large industry organizations where assembly-line type processes or repetitive movements are common (e.g. sawmills, telecommunications equipment construction and use, automobile manufacturing plants, etc. Others work as consultants, providing analysis, education and solutions to a wide-variety of industries.
Some kinesiologists pursue their interests beyond their undergraduate experience with many earning graduate degrees at the Masters and Doctoral levels. Many kinesiologists contribute to a variety of timely research.

Meet the Journo

By Ellie MacDonald | Meet the journo | Comments are Closed | 27 June, 2019 | 0
Name: Rob Prevett
Publication: Disruption Hub
Twitter handle: @DisruptionHub
Rob Prevett is the main man behind Leeds-based publication D/SRUPTION Hub. With a number of pioneering, disruptive companies represented by MacComms, including our client Vet AI which featured in Disruption Hub's magazine earlier this year (read the article here), our founder, Ellie, caught up with Rob to see what makes him tick and what advice he can offer to fellow business owners:
How did your career in journalism unfold?
I left school and spent two years unsuccessfully attending sixth form. I came out with no A levels and went into a job in a call centre which I hated. I quickly moved to another call centre and lasted three days! I didn't know what I wanted to do but I knew I wanted something more meaningful. I happened to meet a guy in pub who was a neighbour of mine who advised of a job at the publishers he worked for. The next Monday evening, I received a knock on my door from the very same guy who had got me a job interview for the next day. He picked me up to take me and I got the job. This was 22 years ago, and he is still one of my best friends, I was best man for him at his wedding just last year.
At this publishing house, I began selling classified recruitment adverts. This was the 90s and we didn't have computers, we literally had to do everything by telephone. I worked my way up to managing a magazine – Electronic Imaging which was all about digital printing. I then left and set up a rival magazine with a friend called Image Reports. I have since set up various magazines and events around digital technology.
I then launched Internet Retailing at the advent on e-commerce when people were questioning whether people really would give away personal information such as credit card details online and we took a bet that they would. This belief saw the publication grow phenomenally over 14 years. We sold the business in 2015 and set up Disruption Hub with my then business partner, John Straw, head of digital transformation at Thomas Cook, author of the book 'iDisrupted'. I met John when he presented at my conference and we discussed running disruptive technology events and a magazine together and joined forces to do just that. We have gone from working from my bedroom to a team of eight based in Platform, Leeds with some team members working remotely. The business was acquired by The Panoply Holdings earlier this year and now we have ambitious plans and increased resource to take D/SRUPTION Hub global.
What inspires you the most?
Personally, I would have to say that my six-year old daughter, Clara is my biggest inspiration. I firmly believe that if you really want to understand a problem, ask a child – they have no baggage or preconceived ideas and they ask obvious questions which we should ask but we don't because we learn to do things a certain way as adults. She does everything with a smile on her face too which is infectious.
Professionally, my mentor, Mark Pigou who ran Internet Retailing with me has been a huge inspiration. He has an amazing way of dealing with everyone from his employees, his contractors and everyone he works with. He makes everyone feel incredibly valued. He has taught me how to run a business not just to make money but with purpose and empathy and it is important to me to treat people right and as you would like to be treated. Purpose is one of our key values for Disruption Hub. Employees are given two hours paid time to volunteer in the local community a month and one day a year, we go as a group to do something meaningful together. Gender and diversity is really important to me too (see Rob's article on this here: link), we really need to encourage a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences so that you have a mix of people who will ask different questions and give different answers.
What kind of stories particularly interest you?
Disruption Hub tries to shine a light on individuals and organisations who are doing something different and challenging the status quo. Whether that is using an innovative technology, developing a new business model or something which creates a positive impact for employees and society.
For us, real-life examples are important. People talk too much about concepts and ideas, but we know there are people who are doing these things and we want to champion stories of these people who are ahead of curve.
Practically, ensure that you give us and our audience a clear picture of what you're doing. To do this ensure you pitch your story including who, what, when, where, how and why.
What's the best story you've ever received?
The best story which comes to mind was a presentation at one of our recent events called Change Please, a coffee company set up to help homeless people off the streets. Change Please trains the homeless as barristers in London. They go back to the streets they lived on with a coffee cart. This is such a great demonstration of how to make a positive difference. The founder, Cemal Ezel is such a humble guy, he spoke at one of our events and had everyone in tears and he will be speaking at Disruption Summit Europe in September too.
What are some of your goals for the future?
We plan to build a community of individuals and organisations who are looking to build businesses of the future via our new venture, Disruption X. We have a role to play in changing minds and attitudes in how businesses are run – via what we write in our magazine articles, running events and bringing business leaders together to help make positive change.
We're also keen to shine more of a light on the north and help people move away from a London-centric approach to business. We have seen Leeds become a fantastic tech hub and we're set to champion further innovation in the north.
What are some common myths or challenges about a career in journalism?
My friends and family laugh at me as I run a publishing company yet can't write very well! My spelling is atrocious! But you can have a career in publishing (or whatever differs from your own skill set.) The key is to surround yourself with people who are better than you at bespoke elements of the business.
Writing and publishing is no longer just about the written word. We've transformed and our writers are no longer just that – they need to be active on social media, speak at events, get in front of the camera, run podcasts and more. There are so many more channels to utilise and to be a successful publisher you need to recognise that your audience want to consume information in different ways and provide it in various formats.
What do you believe makes a great story?
A great story for me includes change. This would be the key word which sums up what D/SRUPTION Hub does. The world is changing, whether this is driven by new technologies and business models – gone are the days when you have a job for life. The only certainty is that job roles, companies and industries will change and when I look for a story it must have that element of change within in it. With this it is key to remember the personal angle too. We're all people and it is individuals who are the most important part of change and so people should form the central part of any story.
What kind of publications do you enjoy reading?
I read The Economist religiously and a lot of my other reading comes from a diverse source – from links on Twitter and I also read Harvard business review. I try to read an eclectic range of books to gain inspiration, ideas and different perspectives. I also enjoy TED talks and podcasts.
How do you cope with the stress of tight deadlines?
I used to get stressed by deadlines when I was younger, but I no longer do. The closer I am to a deadline, the less I worry about as there's less you can do. The key is to be organised, have good early warning systems to help flag any potential problems. Have a great team with regular meetings and good communication and use platforms such as Slack and Trello to help project manage everything. We encourage a real honesty as to where we are. If we're going to miss a deadline, we all need to know so that we can do something about it.
Outside of work, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my daughter, that is my absolute highlight. I like going to the gym and I love eating – I eat out quite a lot. Home is favourite restaurant in Leeds. Spending time with family and friends is important to me too.
What piece of advice would you give to people wanting to pitch their business to you?
Don't be afraid to get in touch, we're always happy to talk to people. Give us a call, pop into Platform and come and meet the team over a cup of tea. Importantly, come to us with a good idea of what the proposition is. We have around 20 people a day contact us to ask if they want to write about something without saying what they do.
Think about who our audience is and what they want. And don't be afraid to say you're excellent at something – we're too British! This is often the reason companies struggle to get investment – if you can convey how and why your company is awesome this will help us include your news and help investors back you.
Finally, what's your favourite thing about Yorkshire?
My favourite thing about Yorkshire is the countryside. I love Leeds, I spend a lot of time in Roundhay Park and love that I can jump in the car and within 10 minutes I'll be in the great Yorkshire countryside.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is often viewed as a challenging condition to manage and affects up to 168,000 people in Australia alone. There is significant controversy in the role of exercise in the management of CFS with some parts of the CFS community viewing it as dangerous or undermining as it insinuates CFS is primarily deconditioning. As AEP's we understand that exercise is not a cure for chronic health conditions but needs to be prescribed in a manner that does not lead to an exacerbation of a person's condition such as CFS.
This professional development delivers a brief background on CFS but then focuses on giving you tools to take away and use in clinical practice. You will have an understanding of how to firstly prescribe pacing and then exercise in a safe manner so that it improves self-management and quality of life.
Nathan is an accredited exercise physiologist, with has 17 years of experience working as the coordinator of specialist inpatient and outpatient programs at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne and at the Royal Free Hospital in London in the area of chronic fatigue syndrome as well as in cardiac, respiratory and orthopaedic rehabilitation.
In 2008, Nathan established Active Health Clinic based on his values of long-term self-management through knowledge, compassion and trust. Through his dedication and experience, Active Health Clinic is now a leader in its field in the management of chronic fatigue syndrome, pain syndromes, orthostatic intolerance/POTS, central sleep disorders and other 'invisible illnesses'.

What's your social media schedule?
Do you think about a post and put it up on whatever platform you're on, or do you take time and effort to think through the right day and hour that works for users of that particular website?
If you're smart, you'll learn to do the latter: That's one of the ever-evolving insights about what social media looks like today. What it also looks like is a place where you don't have to buy ads to get noticed. What you do need to do is put planning and creativity to work, and this graphic can help.

Q: MCMCGlmm "contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels" in R I'm trying to fit a mcmcglmm using the "MCMCglmm" package in R.
I have a data frame with 7 variables.
df <- NNMixedModel2
$Dyad_code
$Sex
$Parity
$Age
$Breed
$Relatedness_m

I've specified which are numeric/factors e.g.
NNMixedModel2$Dyad_code <- as.factor(NNMixedModel2$Dyad_code)
NNMixedModel2$Sex <- as.factor(NNMixedModel2$Sex)
NNMixedModel2$Parity <- as.factor(NNMixedModel2$Parity)
NNMixedModel2$Breed <- as.factor(NNMixedModel2$Breed)
NNMixedModel2$Age <- as.numeric(NNMixedModel2$Age)
NNMixedModel2$Relatedness_m <- as.numeric(NNMixedModel2$Relatedness_m)
NNMixedModel2$weightlg1p <- as.numeric(NNMixedModel2$weightlg1p)

However, when I try to fit the model (below)
prior1.1 <- list(G = list(G1 = list(V = 1, nu = 0.002)), R = list(V = 1, nu = 0.002))

model1.1 <- MCMCglmm(weightlg1p ~ Sex+Parity+Age+Relatedness_m, random = ~Dyad_code, pedigree =NULL, rcov=~us(trait):units, family="gaussian", data = NNMixedModel2, nitt = 13000, thin = 10, burnin = 3000, prior = prior1.1, verbose = FALSE)

I get this error message:
Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) :
 contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels

All of my factors have 2 levels
(sex has 377 males and 840 females, parity has 498 of type 1 and 719 of type 2, breed has 90 of one breed and 1127 of the other)
Also, none of the variables have missing values, and when I use the head() function, the variables are assigned to the correct categories
Can anyone help with this?

Q: Getting the count of rows in a Java resultset Does anyone know a better way of getting the number of rows in a Java resultset returned from a MySQL database? The resultset returned is not going to be the total number of rows read from the database so I don't think I can use SQL's COUNT aggregate function.
public static int getResultSetRowCount(ResultSet resultSet) {
    int size = 0;
    try {
        resultSet.last();
        size = resultSet.getRow();
        resultSet.beforeFirst();
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {
        return 0;
    }
    return size;
}

A: If you are using Java 6 you can use the JDBC4ResultSet class which has the getUpdateCount method that returns the number of the lines affected by a SQL Statement even for a Select Statement.
See below the example code:
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select * from any_table ...");
JDBC4ResultSet rs = (JDBC4ResultSet)ps.executeQuery();
int rowNumber = rs.getUpdateCount();

I hope that this help!

A: A better answer is to forget about the number of rows until you've successfully loaded the ResultSet into an object or collection.  You can keep the count of the number of rows with either of those options.
It's important to close ResultSets (and all SQL resources like Connection and Statement) in the narrowest method scope possible.  That means not passing ResultSet out of the persistence layer.  Better to get the number of rows using a Collection size() call.
Stop thinking about databases and start thinking in terms of objects.  Java's an object-oriented language.

A: You can always use SELECT COUNT() with the same exact conditions, before making the actual SELECT.

A: Here is my solution to this question (since I mostly want the number of records returned to build an array or something similar): Use a collection such as Vector<T> instead.
public Vector<T> getRecords(){
   Vector<T> records = new Vector<T>();
   init_conn_and_stmt_and_rs();

   try {
      rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `something` = 0");
      while(rs.next()){
         // Load the Vector here.
      }
   } catch (SQLException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
      close_rs_and_stmt_and_conn();
   }
   return records;
}

Clean and simple, no? Works for any size record set returned (no need to know the size before hand) and makes all the List methods available.
This has served me well for a time now, but if someone sees a flaw in this, please let me know. Always want to make my practices better, ya know.

A: You can execute
SELECT FOUND_ROWS()

immediately after executing your SELECT statement to find the row count.

A: You can also use the following way to get the total records in the resultSet:
statement = connect.createStatement();
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sqlStatement);
resultSet.last();
int count = resultSet.getRow();
System.out.println(count);

count is the total returned rows for your result set. ;)

Passage Rate for February Bar Examination Drops to 35.3 Percent
By a MetNews Staff Writer
Just over 35 percent of the 4,386 applicants who took the February California bar examination passed it, the Committee of Bar Examiners has reported.
The pass rate of 35.3 percent was down slightly from the February 2003 exam, which 37.3 percent of those taking it passed, according to a preliminary analysis released Friday by the committee. Just under 30 percent of those who took the exam were doing so for the first time, and 46.6 percent of them achieved a passing score, the committee said.
The first-timer pass rate was 49.5 percent for applicants who attended ABA-approved law schools in California and 52.1 percent for applicants from outside the state. The committee separately accredits some non-ABA California law schools, and 31.9 percent of the first-time applicants from those institutions passed.
The pass rate on the February bar exam is usually lower than that for the July exam, since many of those who fail the July exam repeat it in February. The number of people taking the February exam is also typically much smaller.
The pass rate for the July 2003 exam was 49.4 percent, also down slightly from the 50.5 percent rate for the previous yearís exam. About 69 percent of the 7,788 applicants who took the exam in July were taking it for the first time.
For the 3,076 applicants repeating the bar exam in February, the passing rates were 30.5 percent overall, 40.5 percent for applicants from California ABA-approved law schools, 36.5 percent for applicants from ABA schools outside of California, and 16.3 percent for applicants from schools accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners, which is a part of the State Bar of California.
The bar examination consists of a multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination, six essay questions, and two performance tests that are designed to assess an applicant's ability to apply general legal knowledge to practical tasks.
The MBE is a nationwide test, and the mean scaled MBE score for the California exam was higher than the national average for the February 2004 exam, as it was for the February and July exams last year. For the February 2004 administration, the mean scaled MBE score in California was 1392, while for February 2003 the mean was 1397, compared with a national average 1359 for both years.
California also administers an attorneysí examination, which consists of the essay and performance test sections of the bar exam and is open to lawyers who have been admitted to the active practice of law in good standing for at least four years in another jurisdiction. The committee reported that 353 lawyers took that exam in February and 191 of them passed.
Successful applicants who have satisfied other requirements for admissionóthose who have not been reported by local district attorneys for being in arrears with family or child support payments, who have received positive moral character determinations and who have received a passing score on the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examinationómay be sworn in individually or participate in admissions ceremonies held throughout the state during June.
In releasing the examination results, the committee noted that two incidents occurred during the February exam that impacted some of the applicants. Heavy rains in Southern California on the evening before the exam led to flooding of the Pasadena laptop test center, delaying the start of the morning session and forcing cancellation of the afternoon session.
Some applicants at that center also experienced delays while attempting to save their answers using the test-taking software, which prevents access to other programs while taking the exam.
After consulting with psychometric experts, the committee awarded additional points to some applicants who experienced significant delays and estimated scores for the missing afternoon session based on the applicantsí scores for the remaining portions of the exam.

Have you ever before got a feedback call from the LG refrigerator repair in Delhi? If you have ever spoken with the repair of LG refrigerator division and lodged a service demand, you would certainly have received a call from their repair department after the service is supplied for the comments. These sorts of calls are very important for the company and also every Initially, these aid in developing a communication with the customer. This ensures the customer that the business exists with him and also is dedicated to resolving his issues. This gives him the satisfaction and also aids in employing his loyalty for the future.
Second, for the company, these are practical in ascertaining just how the service was supplied as well as in identifying whether the customer is completely satisfied or otherwise. If the customer is not completely satisfied, after that he will certainly state just what were the spaces in service shipment. By this workout, the organization can understand where the fault lay. Whether this problem was due to improper training of the employees or because of behavioral problem with the repair technician or is simply due to the over-expectation of the customer. This exercise assists in connecting the voids in service shipment to attain fulfillment of the customer.
Third with these studies through feedback calls the business can improve quality as well as beat its rivals in the future.

Visit to the Nine Wounded-In-Police-Operation (WIPO) Police Officers
Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC), Tacloban City, Leyte
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte visited the Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC) in Tacloban City, Leyte to assess the current condition of the nine (9) wounded-in-police-operation (WIPO) members of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The nine wounded police officers, namely Police Officer (PO) 1 Romulo Cordero, PO1 Rey Barbosa, PO1 Roden Goden, PO1 Cris Angelo Pialago, PO1 Jaime Galoy, PO1 Joenel Gonzaga, PO1 Elmer Pan, PO1 Romel Bagunas, and PO1 Jan Mark Adonis, are part of the 805th Regional Mobile Force Battalion (RMFB) 8 who survived a gun battle against the Philippine Army's (PA) 87th Infantry Battalion members in a misencounter at Barangay San Roque in Sta. Rita, Samar on the morning of June 25, 2018.
Speaking as the Commander-in-Chief of the police and the military, President Duterte expressed his apologies to the wounded police officers and their families, and assured them that the government would do its utmost best to provide for their needs.
"Isa lang tayo… Kayo lang ang aasahan ko… To serve the country, to protect the people," he said.
The President awarded the Order of Lapu-Lapu in 'Kampilan' medals to the wounded police officers in recognition of their support to the campaign or advocacy of the administration as stated in Executive Order (EO) No. 35 that amended EO No. 17 (s. 2017) which created the Order of Lapu-Lapu.
The 'Kampilan' medal is awarded to government officials and employees, as well as private citizens, who suffered serious injuries or loss of property as a result of direct participation to activities related to the advocacies of the President.
After visiting the WIPO police officers' ward, President Duterte went to an adjacent ward to meet the wounded-in-action (WIA) soldiers who suffered injures during military operations against rebel groups for the period of May to June 2018.
He also awarded the Order of Lapu-Lapu in 'Kampilan' medals to Private First Class (PFC) Sonny Calda, Private (PVT) Anthony Palaña, PFC Marvin Rivera, PFC Noriel Guarte, PFC Jeremy Razid, and PFC Reynold Larague.


90% of all the data that exists worldwide has been produced over the past two years. This exponential growth is expected to continue. In organizations, a large part of the information relating to communication, invoicing, project management, production and commercial activities is fixed in the digital domain. Part of it takes place in a structured environment, such as in the financial system or ERP system. An important part, however, also takes place in applications that store the data in a less structured manner, such as (email) correspondence or documentation systems. In daily practice, this abundance of data is a risk for many organizations. The grip on the processes can disappear and due to the increasing amounts of – dynamic – data, it is more difficult to stay 'in control' on privacy aspects, information security and fraud risks.
An important toolset in providing insight into structured data in particular – for example in ERP systems or administrative environments – is data analysis. In the services of EBBEN, the focus for an important part is on what we call 'fraud analytics'. This is a technique that can help trace fraudulent transactions or other irregularities. It starts by identifying the (digital) locations in the organization where relevant data are located. Experience shows that in the form of, for example, traffic data, logging, metadata, system data and databases, much more relevant data is often available than that which one would initially think. The second step is to identify the specific fraud risks for the organization and to link patterns in the data flow that can be related to them. Through analytical techniques, data mining, recognizing anomalies and visualization methods, insight can be gained into irregularities, fraud risks, notable exceptions and patterns that deserve further attention.
Searching for traces and evidence in an automated environment sometimes requires more than analysis or discovery of the readily available data. Many questions that relate to a user's actions on a computer can be answered using forensic techniques. One can then think of recovering and clearing back deleted files, analyzing a timeline of events on a system or, for example, linking the leaking of sensitive information to a specific user of the system.
Only a small part of the information can be found via Google or other search engines. With this, a fraction of the information on the internet is searched. Under water there is a sea of information in databases, and other – not directly accessible – sources, with which the difference can be made. EBBEN has the knowledge and tools to use this search power for our clients.


the vast infinite stream of cosmic love's totality.

Positive, empathic, innovative, courageous and a professional go-getter. Carin Isgard pursues her dreams with lots of passion and motivation while enjoying here life here in Mallorca. Get to know the CEO and founder of Buy a Home Mallorca and Rent a Home Mallorca.
I live in Molinar. I fell in love with this area the first time I came here. The light, the atmosphere and the fact that you are right next to the sea but still so close to Palma makes it really unique.
What are your main interests and hobbies?
My business is one of my big passions in life and of course I spend a lot of my time working. But I am also good at keeping a balance between my work and personal life. I love traveling and have been lucky enough to have seen many parts of the world. Although I still have many more to go. I also really enjoy hiking in the mountains and being outdoors. Photography, reading and writing have also always been a big part of my life, as well as music, art and gastronomy. However, one of the most important things in my life are my close friends, my sister and family.
What have you studied or worked as before?
I have a bachelor's degree in business and economics, as well as a business school degree in marketing. Later on I also attended university for another two years to become a licensed real estate agent. I have worked in real estate since 2002, the first five years in Stockholm, Sweden. Before that I was working many years in the business sector as sales and marketing director. And I have also been head of business development and many years before that I have worked in marketing and sales.
How and when did your career as an entrepreneur start?
I think it started already as a child! My father was an entrepreneur and had his own business which for me meant an inspiring environment to grow up in. As a young child I used to buy things at the local store and resell them at home to my parents. During the summers I also had a small ice cream shop at our country house, buying vanilla ice cream and mixing it with fruits and reselling it in smaller cups. But the real entrepreneurship started ten years ago here in Mallorca. In 2008 I decided to follow my dream and start my own company within real estate. My entrepreneurship has continued to evolve ever since, and I am dreaming and planning big.
First of all, that you get to meet and work with so many different kinds of people. I also love that the job has so many different sides to it. And that I get the opportunity to use all my qualities and experiences at once – being both creative and analytical at the same time. I also really enjoy building a brand, having my heart and background in marketing, and leading a team. It is challenging, fun and so rewarding.
What fascinates you about real estate?
That no deal is the same as the next one. You can always learn something, improve and get even better. And as previously mentioned, I really like that it involves so many different aspects of work. That it is both an office based job, as well as being out with clients.
But most of all, it fascinates and inspires me that you play such a big role when people are about to make one of the biggest deals of their life. You have an important part in the process and to be there to support and help your clients on an exciting and emotional journey, truly is inspiring and rewarding.
Can you tell us more about your current projects?
We have our ten year anniversary this year 2018, and we are going to celebrate it! It is a great opportunity to give something back to the people who made it possible for us to get where we are. For some, ten years might not sound very long. But thinking of how many recently established and young start-up companies there are in the real estate business in Mallorca, ten years says a lot about our experience and knowledge. And that is something worth celebrating!
Where do you see yourself in the future, what would you like to accomplish?
I would like for Buy a Home Mallorca and Rent a Home Mallorca to be among the most established and well known brands in Mallorca. And for our business to keep growing and expand to other locations… Time will tell where!


Our design for Sterling Tools Limited's exhibit at the Auto Expo was a fantastic web of steel made up of nuts and bolts. The display for the expo stood out from the rest by its innovative exploration of fasteners - the very product STL manufactures.
Since 1979, Sterling Tools Limited has been engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of high tensile cold forged fasteners. This public listed company has grown to become a prime OEM supplier with an expansive client base over India, Europe and USA.
STL wanted us to create a display for an expo that would stand apart from the rest. We decided to approach create an art installation with nuts and bolts, targeting potential customers for STL, as well as their regular clientele. We experimented with various parts, analyzing several patterns before finally arriving at a solution that could be executed. As the installation would weigh several tons, our design took into consideration the physical constraints of assembly and transportation.
"Furor Fervor", our interactive exhibit, engaged the viewer and stood its own amongst the otherwise ubiquitous stalls of reds, blue and greys.
The three-dimensional ideation allowed visitors to have a sensory experience by touching and feeling the structure. The display clearly showcased STL's strong beliefs, innovative stance and its ability to stand out in a crowd. Our clients loved it so much that they had it permanently installed at their main plant in Prithla!

World Cup Champ Kelley O'Hara Teams Up With November Project DC
The group plans on hosting O'Hara, who is staying in D.C. for the offseason, this Wednesday at the Lincoln Memorial, snow or shine.

A few weeks ago, November Project DC co-leader Emma Cowan-Young received a direct message on the group's Instagram page from a verified account. She immediately sent a text to her co-leaders, Jake Lloyd and Maria Randazzo, with several exclamation marks.
World Cup champion and soccer star Kelley O'Hara had reached out—unprompted and unexpectedly—to express her desire to team up with November Project DC for a workout and charity drive.
"I think all of us were internally doing backflips on the possibility of having a World Cup champion at a workout," Randazzo says.
O'Hara, who is living in the area with her partner during the offseason, shared the news on her Instagram account that she will be at November Project DC's 6:20 a.m. workout this Wednesday near the Lincoln Memorial. The group is encouraging participants to bring winter gear that will be donated to Thrive DC, a nonprofit in the city that provides services to homeless individuals.
According to Lloyd, O'Hara reached out because she knew about November Project's mission. Two Northeastern University crew alumni founded the exercise group in Boston in 2011, and since then the now-nonprofit has expanded to 52 cities around the world. Earlier this year, Brooks Running began sponsoring the organization, which hosts free weekly group exercise workouts.
The D.C. chapter, founded in November 2013, meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning.
"I think she realized we're a running club and we're going to bring that fitness level, but we're also super fun and creative and we don't take ourselves too seriously," Lloyd says. "And I think that's something she was looking for too: to put on a great workout, but also get a lot of people to really buy into the charity aspect of the event as well."
Before O'Hara, the highest profile celebrity that November Project DC hosted was Mayor Muriel Bowser in 2017. Rower Esther Lofgren, an Olympic gold medalist, also participated during the group's early years, Randazzo says.
Randazzo calls the Wednesday workouts, one at 5:30 in the morning and another at 6:20 a.m. at the Lincoln Memorial steps, the group's "showstopper day." "Not to say Monday or Friday isn't amazing, but the Lincoln Memorial is pretty iconic and it's tough to beat in terms of backdrop," she says. Each workout lasts about 35 minutes.
November Project DC has drawn up to 500 people twice for the Wednesday workouts. And while Lloyd says he doesn't anticipate that many people this Wednesday, he expects to see a group "in the hundreds"—even with snow in the forecast.
"We are weatherproof," Lloyd says. "We'll be there regardless of what you see in your weather forecast."
The leaders understand that participants will want to interact with O'Hara and so they haven't decided exactly what the workout will be, but that doesn't mean there will be a "selfie station or anything like that," Lloyd says. Randazzo expects there will be opportunities for participants to meet and chat with O'Hara after the workout.
And as for future, Lloyd hopes O'Hara's participation will inspire others to join.
"We realize we live in city with so much going on, so it's pretty hard to get big names," he says. "So it's a pretty big deal when something like this falls into our lap. Hopefully the experience that people have, whether it's their 100th workout or first workout, leads to people to want to come out, whether it's a celebrity or another person off the street. We're glad they're here."

My friend Jan, over at Bold & Free, has awarded me the Friend in You badge. Thank you, Jan! I'm adding it to my wall o'awards! Not without passing it on first!
BUT! Before I do, I'm taking this moment to remind you all that Jan is running a contest on her site, one in which I've participated, one which offers chocolate and Starbucks gift cards, one which needs more contestants! It's a scavenger hunt! Go, people! Go enter! At least the part about my blog! The answers to my questions can be found on the left of my blog, in the About Me section, and on the list o'bovines. See how easy that is? Hurry! The contest ends this weekend!
Now, on to the award ceremony! Ooo! And this is so difficult. You are ALL my friends! And I know I'll forget people, because I always do, so yell at me if I forget you? And these are in no particular order, okay?
Karen, over at the Rocking Pony, is one of the first blogs I began reading regularly. And she gave her kid a lizard for Easter, which totally rocks.
Baby Burgh's Mom is owned by the cutest toddler east of the Mississippi River. Pittsburgh's east of the Mississippi, right? Geography's not my strong point.
Oo! Sports Mama keeps me laughing, when she's not making me tear up. Her exploits with Coach and the boys are loaded with testosterone.
Then there's Brown Eyed Girl at the Color of Home. What does one say about her? Never, ever boring! Head there for a belly laugh or a scary tale.
Hello Dlyn in New York! I KNOW she's east of the Mississippi. And I love her photography, but even more I love her interviews with Riley.
Melissa, at Hope for the Hopeless, is another whose blog I've been reading since I discovered blogs. Check out her Mongolian tree.
Definitely west of the Mississippi is Asthma Girl, whose cape is fluttering. I just got that - how sad for me.
Alright - the whole Mississippi thing? I grew up ON the river, so everywhere in the United States was divided, for me, by the River.
A new friend, who never fails to move me, and who lives practically in my back yard! is Mayberry Magpie. Go bug her about her running, will ya?
Tanya I stumbled on by accident, before I was in the habit of reading other people's blogs. I was trying to figure out what all of this was about, looking for the weird and funny out there. Tanya is talented, even if she was raised by wolves.
Oo! Oo! I almost forgot Zobabe, at Next Day's News! She's always in English!
I have to stop now. My children have to get to school. Check out the scavenger hunt, people!
Congrats on the so-cute award. I'm so flattered that you though of me in your awards ceremony. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you - my first award! You like me, you really like me!
Also, congrats to you for getting it!
I DID post - you just commented on it!!
Thank you so much Flea. As I noted on my blog, I'm the one getting all the benefit out of reading you and your journey with Fred and Bessie!
Thanks for thinking of me! You Rock!
Thank you! That was very sweet of you to think of me. Oh, and yes, we are definitely East of the Mississippi.
LOL. This is why we are BBFF's. You are so fun! Thanks for reminding everyone about the scavenger hunt. Have an awesome day!
Congrats on winning and thanks so much for sharing - you're the best!
Congrats and thanks so much! Definitely a bright spot in my day!
Thanks for giving me some new blogs to read here too!

Making Explosive Growth Sustainable in Real Estate
"Just having that world-class training is really going to set us above and set us apart from a lot of the other real estate teams in the country."
~ Gary Ashton, Owner & Founder of The Ashton Real Estate Group
The Ashton Real Estate Group quickly earned the right to call themselves RE/MAX's #1 real estate team in the world.
Early in the game, founder Gary Ashton focused on technology-centric solutions. He built an impressive internet presence. And he refined his processes to generate enough leads to keep 50 full-time buyer's agents happily employed.
Plus, he filled his roster with top talent. Debra Beagle, Managing Broker/Owner and Gary's right hand, and Donovan Degelau, his Director of Development, included.
But explosive growth came with its own set of challenges.
Training through the growing pains
"As a tech-forward team, our training programs were ahead of the industry. Most of the standard training programs didn't really work for us and weren't relevant to what we were doing."
~ Donovan Degelau, Director of Development at The Ashton Real Estate Group
The industry's standard training and documentation processes just didn't meet the needs of the growing organization – and by extension, their customers.
And the group was struggling to keep everyone informed and on the same page. So Gary and his team started looking for a modern solution.
At the time, Gary, Debra, and Donovan were sitting down to personally onboard and train every agent. But as the team grew and processes evolved, this became a heavy lift.
So, the three set out to find a solution that would streamline how they got (and kept) their team up to speed. They needed something that could take themselves out of the training process without worrying whether people were up to speed.
More of a mess than a solution
Like most companies, The Ashton Real Estate Group turned to Google Docs first. It was free. And it allowed the group to get their business out of their brain.
But Google Docs wasn't a scalable solution. The system was frustrating at best, and total chaos at worst. Especially as the group's processes continued to evolve.
"I kept getting asked the same questions over and over again. So I decided to put everything into a Google Doc," explained Gary. "But I eventually realized that the Google Docs were all over the place, and it was just a disaster."
Plus, when it came time to share content, there was no way to track who had looked at it, when, or if they understood. So the money the group was saving upfront, they were reinvesting ten-fold long term.
The Ashton Real Estate Group quickly outgrew Google Docs. And they started looking for a documentation tool that had all the power of Google Docs. But could also deliver consistent, world-class training.
The best way to train agents
That's when The Ashton Real Estate Group found Trainual. Trainual allowed the group to automate how they train new and existing agents.
By assigning content directly within the app, Gary, Debra, and Donovan can now track who knows what. As well as test for understanding. This makes it easy to hold people accountable – without being a big drain on the management team.
"Trainual allows the company to take us three out of the equation," said Donovan. "Because we can't be there for 140 agents every time there's a question."
Plus, Trainual keeps all the company's knowledge in one, searchable app that can be accessed from anywhere. So when processes evolve, the team can update the content in seconds and roll it out in real-time.
"I love how Trainual compliments our in-person agent and employee training and keeps all the company's knowledge in one, searchable app that can be accessed from anywhere. When our processes evolve, we can update the content in seconds and roll it out in real-time. Also that we can test the content is a plus."
~ Debra Beagle, Managing Broker/Owner at The Ashton Real Estate Group
Already, Trainual has helped The Ashton Real Estate Group take back control of their explosive growth, without hitting the breaks.
"Trainual is really integral to helping us stay number one," Gary said.
See why thousands of growing small businesses in 120+ countries trust Trainual to make onboarding and training easier.

These days, the event stands proudly in its own right and no such comparison is necessary, but as European Captain Carin Koch discovered when she met Captain Paul McGinley at Gleneagles, there are numerous similarities and shared experiences at these two mega sporting events.
Carin, you've just been to the Ryder Cup. Tell us about your visit.
It was my first Ryder Cup and I had a great time! I did a few interviews for TV and radio, visited team rooms, the hotel and had a nice chat with Paul McGinley.
What were the most noticeable similarities to The Solheim Cup?
The atmosphere, the crowds and the decorations in the team rooms in blue and yellow!
What were the main differences?
The Ryder cup is a bit bigger, but really the same. We have more songs on the first tee, they have more cheering.
Did you know Captain Paul McGinley before?
I had met him before, at The 2011 Solheim Cup in Ireland. I know his wife Allison (maiden name Shapcott) who used to play on the Ladies European Tour.
What did you discuss with Paul McGinley?
Some of his preparations and things he had done in the team room. I will talk to him again about his experience.
Which caddies did you recognise?
"Fooch" caddies for Justin Rose, Craig Connelly for Martin Kaymer and Terry Mundy is with Ian Poulter. I think two of them have caddied at seven Solheim cups and four Ryder Cups!
What were your thoughts on his pairings and strategy?
He seems to know his players well, and made sure they were comfortable and felt part of the team. They played for each other.
What were his best pairings in your opinion?
Justin Rose and Hendrik Stenson worked well.
What are you doing to prepare at the moment?
I have visited the course, decided the on-course clothing, and I have a lot of other things in my head at the moment.
How will this change next year?
Next year I will focus more on the players.
Which tournaments are you planning to play in over the next 12 months?
I'm not sure yet. Dubai is my next one, then I will see aboutnext year. I will visit some tournaments in the US and play some LET events.
Who are your helpers and what are their roles?
I am undecided who they are but they are very important for the tournament week. They are part of creating a great atmosphere around the team. They get the players and caddies what they need and also report in from the course to the captain about various things.
What role does Annika Sorenstam have?
She is one of my vice Captains. She will help me study the stats of the players next year, and have a say in the pics. Then she will have an important role during the tournament week.
What is the role of Fanny Sunesson?
She is my strategic advisor. I am very happy to have her on the team.
Are there any players you are watching closely and what do they need to do to impress you?
There are many girls who could be on the team. They need to make lots of birdies and eagles and be good teammates.

It's like Disney couldn't take the risk of of abandoning the setting of plucky rebels fighting against an oppressive Empire, so they just handwaved everything away and made it so that the setting of the sequels is the same. Disney clearly wants to replicate the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Star Wars, but rushed it. The galaxy seems like a very small place in these new movies and it might have been better if at least a movie or two were building up the threat of the First Order, some clandestine investigation and then trying to convince the New Republic of this threat. As it is there's nothing in the Star Wars universe but Rebel Bases and massive fleets of Imperials, maybe a Space Las Vegas profiting off the two.
Reactions: DIVUS IVLIVS and Dayton Lavon Kitchens
And the reverse situation would have quite interesting to see. Put the villains in as underdogs. But I guess Disney believed that would not make money.
Reactions: Spartakus X
Dayton Lavon Kitchens said:
The Star Wars Chronology that goes a century or more into the future after the most recent Legends novels gives several details about the "ultimate fate" of various well known characters. That is where it basically mentions the Skywalkers fading into obscurity. IIRC the great grandson of Luke (and Mara Jade) is a bounty hunter of some sort. That is also the material that mentions the rebirth of a (somewhat) more benign version of the Galactic Empire which seems to mainly follow the philosophy of "expansion" rather than "oppression".
Wait, Cade is only Luke's great grandson, meaning his father Cul was simply a grandson, meaning Ben's son? Does any Legends material mention or just hint at Cul's mother?

I'm not sure. I'll have to go back and read some of the stuff there.
The idea's and character's of the old Expanded Universe appeal to me much more than the new Canon. I have yet to read much of it, but needless to say the Solo Twins have a more appealing dynamic to me than what is shown on the big screen. And anything I read up on on the wiki leaves more of an impact without actually reading the books (which I really want to read).
The old EU may be messy but there is something organic about it, which is a deep contrast to the sterility of the new Canon.

The Expanded Universe has the exact same problem. Peace in the EU didn't even last a decade. The Emperor was back literally within years, and for all this idiocy of Luke being character assassinated in the ST, the same thing happened in the EU because the ST is basically an adaptation of the Second Galactic Civil War where Jacen Solo (Kylo Ren) turns to the Dark Side and has to be killed by his sister Jaina (Rey), the same Jacen who was close to Luke and was his disciple.
Sure, the EU had problems as well, no one is denying it. But it was at least more creative than the new Canon. Disney would never dare to introduce something as radical and different as the Yuuzhan Vong, even though the "underdogs vs evil Empire" in the ST would work better if the Empire was the Vong Empire.
I liked the Vong because they were different and broke the typical "Jedi vs Sith" pattern.

Doctor E. Brown invited you to his office to discuss about his latest project. He has designed a new time machine and needs your valuable help, so you arranged a meeting today. After arriving at his office, you realize that something is very wrong: the professor has disappeared while everything is in place and the security systems of the brilliant doctor are still activated.
Based on a time-print that you found, you realize that the time machine is real, but due to a failure it exploded causing the professor to get lost in space-time. You have 60 minutes to reassemble the time machine and escape before it explodes again and you get lost in space-time yourselves.

Revision of the calculation methodology of dumping
The IA appears to provide a well-researched explanation of the evidence base for the legislative proposal; it clearly explains the scale of the problem, illustrated by facts and figures giving a clear view of the international situation.

The IA appears to provide a well-researched explanation of the evidence base for the legislative proposal; it clearly explains the scale of the problem, illustrated by facts and figures giving a clear view of the international situation. However, a better, more coherent organisation of the data related to the problem definition, and a broader range of options, would have strengthened the IA. Option 3 is the only viable one to address all the objectives, although – as also indicated by stakeholders – its elements are only vaguely presented. The IA would have been more persuasive had it been clearer about the modification of the standard methodology. In particular, it would have benefited from a better explanation as to how it would work in practice, in order to allow the EU to continue to disregard domestic costs and prices of China and other NME countries, as this appears to be the most crucial element of the preferred option. The IA does not look at the impact on the economic performance of the EU sectors concerned, and remains unclear as to how EU SMEs would be affected. The stakeholder consultation covered a broad range of stakeholders and the collected views are presented systematically throughout the IA. However, it seems that stakeholders were not given the opportunity to comment in detail on the preferred option 3. The consultation seems to have happened at an early stage in the drafting process of the IA, which could explain the vague questions asked and the shortened period of consultation of 10 weeks instead of 12.

The problem definition is illustrated by facts and figures which give a clear view of international security threats. The outcome of the stakeholder consultation is clearly presented and has been integrated into the analysis and the assessment of the different options, with a transparent presentation of stakeholders' views throughout. Nevertheless, the IA has a number of shortcomings. A clearer explanation of the links between the problems and their drivers, the objectives of the legislative proposal and the options considered, would have strengthened the IA. The report would have been more persuasive had it been clearer about the methodological approach to the comparison of the options. Even if the Commission made efforts to collect relevant data in preparation of the IA, the analysis remains essentially qualitative. Finally, the IA remains vague about the overall impact of the proposal on SMEs and competitiveness.

Revision of the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace
The impact assessment report appears to make a genuine effort to explain the problem in need of action, but it does not make an entirely convincing case for the need to act now. Nor does it refer to sound and comprehensive research and analysis in order to sufficiently substantiate the scale of the problem and its root causes. Options proposed, aside from the preferred one, do not appear to be realistic ones. There is no analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the available solutions and ...
The impact assessment report appears to make a genuine effort to explain the problem in need of action, but it does not make an entirely convincing case for the need to act now. Nor does it refer to sound and comprehensive research and analysis in order to sufficiently substantiate the scale of the problem and its root causes. Options proposed, aside from the preferred one, do not appear to be realistic ones. There is no analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the available solutions and no real comparison of the likely impact of the options. The combination of these weaknesses undermines the credibility of the IA report as a whole.

Protection of workers from exposure to carcinogens or mutagens
Overall, the Commission appears to have provided sound reasoning and justification for the initiative. The methodology used to compare the scope of impacts is well-developed, but the proposed range of options limits the scope of the analysis. As Option 3 is barely considered, and Option 4 does not seem to be consistent with the objectives, the added value of these options is not evident. Moreover, both the IA and the Explanatory Memorandum of the proposal are not explicit about the preferred option ...

Moreover, both the IA and the Explanatory Memorandum of the proposal are not explicit about the preferred option. More information on the consultation with SCOEL and ACSH would have been welcomed in order to understand the way in which the OELs were set. Finally, it is not entirely clear why the Commission has come forward with this proposal before the ex-post evaluation of the OSH Framework undertaken within the remit of REFIT has been completed. Indeed, including the results of the ex-post evaluation in the IA might have strengthened the Commission's evidence base as well as further clarified the monitoring and evaluation arrangements and the interaction between the various pieces of legislation under the OSH Framework.

Sustainable management of external fishing fleets: Initial Appraisal of a European Commission Impact Assessment
This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying its proposal on the sustainable management of external fishing fleets, repealing Council Regulation (EC) 1006/2008.

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying its proposal on the sustainable management of external fishing fleets, repealing Council Regulation (EC) 1006/2008. The proposal, adopted on 10 December 2015, was referred to the Parliament's Committee on Fisheries. Overall, the impression is that the IA has made a genuine attempt to articulate what it perceives to be the problems necessitating action and to define the objectives of the initiative. The outcome of the stakeholder consultation, albeit rather limited, is clearly presented and appears to have been integrated into the analysis with a transparent presentation of the stakeholders' views throughout. Nevertheless, the IA has a number of shortcomings. The problem definition lacks the hard evidence required to be entirely convincing. The assessment of impacts is largely qualitative and is focused on benefits with hardly any reference to potential costs. The report would have been more persuasive had it provided stronger arguments and clearer quantitative evidence to prove that the expected benefits outweigh the costs. Generally, the information could have been better structured throughout and a more solid analysis of the compared options would have strengthened the IA.

Emissions from engines in non-road mobile machinery: Initial Appraisal of a European Commission Impact Assessment
This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the proposal for a Regulation relating to emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery.

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the proposal for a Regulation relating to emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery. Non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) is a term that encompasses a wide range of equipment. Small handheld equipment, construction and forestry machinery, generators, railcars, locomotives and inland waterway vessels (IWV) can all be classed as NRMM. These machines are commonplace within the agriculture, construction, rail, aircraft, inland waterway transport (IWT) and domestic shipping industries. This note, prepared by the Ex-Ante Impact Assessment Unit for the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) of the European Parliament, analyses whether the principal criteria laid down in the Commission's own Impact Assessment Guidelines, as well as additional factors identified by the Parliament in its Impact Assessment Handbook, appear to be met by the IA.

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the Commission proposal for a Directive on the dissemination of Earth observation satellite data for commercial purposes. Overall, the impression is that the IA has made a genuine attempt to present what it perceives to be the problems which need addressing and to define the objectives of the initiative and the progress indicators accordingly. The outcome of the first stakeholder consultation, even if rather limited, is clearly presented and appears to have been integrated into the analysis, with a transparent presentation of the stakeholders' views throughout. Nevertheless, the IA has a number of shortcomings and is, at best, incomplete. It remains to be seen to what extent the supplementary impact assessment work requested by Council responds to the concerns that have been expressed and help to complete some of the weaker areas identified. This note is prepared for the Committees on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) and Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) of the European Parliament.

Appliances burning gaseous fuels: Initial Appraisal of a European Commission Impact Assessment
This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal for a Regulation on appliances burning gaseous fuels This is a proposal to replace the Gas Appliances Directive 2009/142/EC (GAD) of 2009, which aims to permit the free movement of appliances and fittings burning gaseous fuels within the EU market while ensuring a high level of protection for their users against risks. The Directive is ...
This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal for a Regulation on appliances burning gaseous fuels This is a proposal to replace the Gas Appliances Directive 2009/142/EC (GAD) of 2009, which aims to permit the free movement of appliances and fittings burning gaseous fuels within the EU market while ensuring a high level of protection for their users against risks. The Directive is an example of Union harmonisation legislation, and is said to have contributed considerably to the completion and operation of the single market. The Gas Appliances Directive (GAD) covers 'appliances burning gaseous fuels that are used for cooking, heating, hot water production, refrigeration, lighting or washing, [...] forced draft burners and heating bodies to be equipped with such burners', as well as 'fittings' such as safety, controlling or regulating devices. The document concludes that, as far as the form is concerned, the drafting and editing quality of the IA is poor in places and there is a great deal of repetition. Some of the information contained in the Annexes could usefully have been included in the body of the report, and more direct reference to the work of the external study would have been helpful. The assessment of the options by individual problem issue is not the clearest way to proceed and makes it difficult to gain an overview. As far as the substance is concerned, the IA report seems to suggest that there is a limit to how much analysis can realistically and usefully be made of what it repeatedly recalls are unlikely to be significant impacts. The assessment of those potential impacts is therefore equally limited. The choice of options is also very restricted. The external IA study apparently already carried out an in-depth analysis of the various suggestions coming out of the consultation process. As a result, any additional options which might have implied more far-reaching impacts, such as extension of the scope of the legislation, for example, had already been discarded, and are therefore not included in the assessment within the IA report itself. Both the external study and the IA report could perhaps usefully have considered addressing in more depth some of the impacts of the original directive identified by the ex-post evaluation. This note, prepared by the Ex-Ante Impact Assessment Unit for the Committee Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) of the European Parliament, analyses whether the principal criteria laid down in the Commission's own Impact Assessment Guidelines, as well as additional factors identified by the Parliament in its Impact Assessment Handbook, appear to be met by the IA. It does not attempt to deal with the substance of the proposal. It is drafted for informational and background purposes to assist the relevant parliamentary committee(s) and Members more widely in their work.

This is a proposal to revise Council Directive 89/686/EEC of December 1989 which aims to permit the free movement of personal protective equipment (PPE) in Europe while ensuring a high level of protection for its users against risks.

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the Commission proposal for a Regulation on personal protective equipment. This is a proposal to revise Council Directive 89/686/EEC of December 1989 which aims to permit the free movement of personal protective equipment (PPE) in Europe while ensuring a high level of protection for its users against risks. PPE is defined as 'any device or appliance designed to be worn or held by any individual for protection against one or more safety hazards'. It ensures protection against any type of hazards e.g. heat, flames, chemicals, flying particles, mechanical, that may occur in different environments, such as work, home, or leisure, and can protect any part of the human body. This note, prepared by the Ex-Ante Impact Assessment Unit for the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) of the European Parliament, analyses whether the principal criteria laid down in the Commission's own Impact Assessment Guidelines, as well as additional factors identified by the Parliament in its Impact Assessment Handbook, appear to be met by the IA. It does not attempt to deal with the substance of the proposal.
