Engage – Is not going anywhere…
Marty Caine News	2
Engage was formed in 2017 and was originally named Demos Direct Initiative Party (yes it was a bit of a mouthful we know) DDIP was originally created by Marty Caine as a fall back party for John Rees Evans is he failed to get Direct Democracy implemented in UKIP, he did fail to do so but it turned out he had been involved with a party named Affinity all along and was basically just stringing us along. Alan Love and I found this out when we travelled to meet JRE at the UKIP conference in Torquay when he failed to become the leader of UKIP for the second time. Anyway, that's politics for you and it's all water under the bridge, though it did actually waste the first eight months of the party, but hey oh. When we realised he was not going to be taking the reins Alan and I agreed the first thing we needed to do was get rid of that awful name and we put it to the party members to come up with a new name for DDIP… Then end result was 'Engage' which was suggested by my wife and Engage-NI leader Jordan Stewart's wife and it really does describe what the party is truly all about…
The fundamental idea behind Engage was not just to create a new political party of the same mould as the rest, we knew that the best way to change British politics for the better was to change how a political party actually functions. We had seen how UKIP was infiltrated and taken down from within because they used the standard Top-Down power pyramid of political parties and we recognised that as a major flaw, so we decided by utilising Direct Democracy we would turn the Power Pyramid upside down and empower the whole membership. Every member has one vote and we vote on everything, it is easy to infiltrate the top tier of a party and corrupt it but you cannot corrupt a whole party membership. So that is the foundations that Engage was built on, a party where decisions are made by the majority not the few and we create a party debate platform so that all members got an equal voice within the party. The other thing we understood was no two areas have the same problems, the demographics change right across the country so we introduced an idea whereby every branch would work as an independent unit serving the people of their own communities and then work collectively on national party issues. We also knew that if we could get people putting their heads together in finding solutions we would once again get back to learning from each other once again and that is something that has been lacking in society for far too long. The concept of Engage is a hard one to argue with.
However, it has been a long hard struggle, especially with so many new parties starting up like For Britain, DVP, One Nation, etc. We just haven't had the funding to push that concept out and have watched parties that do have money behind them grow but sadly repeat that same old top-down system that will only ever lead to failure in the end. Then UKIP started playing the anti-Islam card and basically saying what people wanted to hear, the behind the scenes incompetence that led to their demise was still there calling the shots and there have been no startling new policies put forward. The only change I have seen was getting rid of Leo the Lion and Gerard sounding more like AMW than she did but alas it seems to be working for UKIP as they are gaining members. However, if I ask myself what has UKIP actually done since June 23rd 2016, the answer I come up with is nothing but embarrass themselves. I can fully understand why Labour and Lib Dems would vehemently attack Theresa May, second-guessing what she is doing in regards to Brexit whilst knowing full well she cannot actually reveal her plan anyway but I cannot for the life of me why UKIP have done so as well. Whether you love or loath Theresa May, there is no denying she is the only one in a position to deliver Brexit, a Brexit that UKIP fought very hard for, so I fail to understand why they would want to scupper their only horse in the race. Surely they can see that has only ever helped Remain and the EU?
Would it not have made far more sense for UKIP to promote a 'Britain After Brexit' idea, convincing people that Brexit is the right move and showing how much better we will be after we leave, rather than siding with Remain in the Doom and Gloom campaign. Sorry but I simply don't buy it UKIP but it seems many are buying it but I have a sneaky suspicion that when they realise it has far more to do with a £666k court bill from the Jane Collins case, many will not be so forgiving. Unfortunately, the UKIP surge has been sold in Northern Ireland and Engage members who formed the Engage-NI branch have decided to give UKIP another chance. We have lost Jordan Stewart, Alan and Helen Love, the founders of Engage-NI and they have now returned to UKIP. They do tell me that the UKIP-NI have got their act together and things are a lot better now, so all I can do is wish them all the very best and accept in politics people have to do what they think is best and follow their own political path. Maybe they will prove me wrong and UKIP will get back to being the breath of fresh air it was in British politics when I joined in 2010 but my gut feeling tells me that is not going to happen. In the meantime, Engage-NI will remain registered in a hope that others will take up the mantle there, Engage is a UK party and that will always include Northern Ireland.
I will continue on along with others in an attempt to create a new kind of political party and I do strongly suspect that once we leave the EU people will be looking for something new in British politics more than ever before. Isn't it time we threw away the outdated Left and Right political ideologies that keep people shouting at each other instead of shouting at government like we should be. It seems to me that in today's politics the politicians are not the main problem, it is those senior civil servants who have actually forgotten who they work for, no longer civil nor subservient and they see us the people as nothing more than cash cows for over-inflated salaries and gold plated pension pots. That is the real issue that needs to be addressed in British politics once we are free of the EU. This is what Engage is really about, not having a select few writing policies that we want others to simply agree with, we want people putting their heads together in finding the best solutions for the betterment of us all. Sheeple need leading, Engage members much prefer to voice opinions and debate issues, so really everyone in Engage is a leader because what they have to say, leads to debates we have. I suppose Engage is not really for those who desperately want a charismatic leader who will pretend to have all the answers but it is certainly for those that want to contribute to creating real change for the better…
Having seen the debate process work to produce what I believe is the best and most honest NHS policy of any UK party,( Engage NHS Policy ) I know Engage has a winning formula and though I am often told to give up on the idea, I am not quite ready to do so yet… So the title 'Engage is not going anywhere' means it will still offer people something new on the political menu, whether it will ever be a success is entirely down to the people who get on board and try to make it happen. We have planted the seed and I will continue to nourish and water that seed for as long as I possibly can and hopefully one day it will grow into a Direct Democracy tree with branches everywhere across the United Kingdom…

World Scores Wounded as Security Forces, Protesters Clash in Beirut
Scores Wounded as Security Forces, Protesters Clash in Beirut
Sunday, January 19, 2020 at 5:17 am | כ"ב טבת תש"פ
BEIRUT (Reuters) -

Clashes between Lebanon's security forces and protesters wounded scores of people on a night of violence that rocked central Beirut on Saturday.
Riot police fired tear gas and water cannon, chasing protesters armed with tree branches and sign posts in a commercial district near Lebanon's parliament.
Crowds spilled on to the streets this week after a lull in largely peaceful protests which broke out in October. They are furious at a ruling elite that has steered the country toward its worst economic crisis in decades.
Police beatings and arrests in recent days have alarmed human rights groups and sparked fears among activists of a move to crush the dissent.
Smoke billowed out of tear-gas canisters encircling protesters as ambulances sped through the streets of the capital. Witnesses said security forces also fired rubber bullets.
The Lebanese Red Cross said more than 100 people had been treated for injuries, with at least 65 others taken to hospital on both sides.
A security source said at least 15 protesters had been detained.
President Michel Aoun ordered the army and security commanders to restore calm.
Saad al-Hariri, who resigned as premier in October, said the violence threatened civil peace. "It is an insane, suspicious and rejected scene," he tweeted.
After the unrest pushed Hariri to quit, feuding politicians have failed to agree on a new Cabinet or rescue plan. The Lebanese pound has lost nearly half its value, dollar shortages have driven up prices and confidence in the banks has collapsed.
The Internal Security Forces (ISF) said they were being "violently and directly" confronted on Saturday night. "Those who are rioting will be pursued, arrested and referred to the judiciary," it said on social media.
Young men chanting "revolution" hurled stones, steel barriers and flower pots at riot police. Protesters had tried to push into the heavily barricaded part of central Beirut which includes the parliament.
Interior Minister Raya el-Hassan said it was unacceptable for protesters to "blatantly assault" the security forces.
Firefighters put out a blaze that engulfed a protest camp in the center of the city, where burning tents sent plumes of smoke into the air. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. The ISF denied media reports that some of its forces had set fire to the camp, where activists had held debates and sit-ins in recent months.
Hundreds of people had marched and chanted against the political class in other parts of the capital in the afternoon. A large banner at one of the rallies read: "If the people go hungry, they will eat their rulers."
Anger at the banks – which have curbed people's access to their savings – has also boiled over, with protesters smashing bank facades and ATMs on Tuesday night.

Can you run a python script without a USB connection (just power)?
To run a python script on my WiPy whenever it is powered on, what do I need to do exactly? Sync the directory with a boot.py and main.py file? I want to use it for a wearable application, so that whenever it receives power (from the Vin pin), it automatically runs a script that I have written, without any USB connection. How do i do this?


Escobedo (b. 1979, Mexico City) is the 18th and youngest architect yet to accept the invitation to design a temporary Pavilion on the Serpentine Gallery lawn in Kensington Gardens. This pioneering commission, which began in 2000 with Zaha Hadid, has presented the first UK buildings of some of the biggest names in international architecture. In recent years, it has grown into a hotly anticipated showcase for emerging talent, from Sou Fujimoto of Japan to SelgasCano of Spain and Bjarke Ingels of Denmark. Serpentine Galleries Artistic Director HansUlrich Obrist and CEO Yana Peel selected this year's architect, with advisors David Adjaye and Richard Rogers.
ectly to the north. Internal courtyards are a common feature of Mexican domestic architecture, while the Pavilion's pivoted axis refers to the Prime Meridian, which was established in 1851 at Greenwich and became the global standard marker of time and geographical distance.
British-made materials will be used in the Pavilion's construction, chosen for their dark colours and textured surfaces. A celosia – a traditional breeze wall also common to Mexican architecture – will be here composed of a lattice of cement roof tiles that diffuse the view out into the park, transforming it into a vibrant blur of greens and blues from within. Two reflecting elements will emphasise the movement of light and shadow inside the Pavilion over the course of the day. The curved underside of the canopy will be clad with mirrored panels, and a triangular pool cast into the Pavilion floor will trace its boundary directly beneath the edge of the roof, along the north axis of the Meridian. As the sun moves across the sky, reflected and refracted by these features, visitors may feel a heightened awareness of time spent in play, improvisation and contemplation over the summer months.

Q: Cannot convert type date to integer using liquibase I'm trying to change date type in my Postgsql DB to integer one using this changeset :

ALTER TABLE training
  ALTER COLUMN end_date TYPE integer USING end_date::integer;

But I got an error : could not convert type date to integer. Any idea please ?

A: You can't.  However, you could convert to, say, a number of days since some base date:
using extract(epoch from (end_date - '1970-01-01'::date))

A: I resolve it by:

Davos Forum warns over global income inequality

LONDON (AP) — The gap between the rich and the poor is the most likely threat to the global economy in coming years, the World Economic Forum said Thursday in a risk assessment ahead of the gathering of political and business leaders in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
The Forum, which hosts the annual gathering, said income disparity in the wake of the global financial crisis is the "most likely risk to cause an impact on a global scale in the next decade" and warned of a "lost generation" of young people that could stoke tensions in society.
"The generation coming of age in the 2010s faces high unemployment and precarious job situations, hampering their efforts to build a future and raising the risk of social unrest," the Forum said in Global Risks 2014, which was compiled with contributions by 700 global experts.
The warning from the Forum comes amid signs that the global economy has finally gotten over the worst that the financial crisis has thrown at it. The U.S. has begun to rein in some of the extraordinary monetary policies it put in place to get the economy out of recession and avoid a repeat of the 1930s. The countries that use the euro currency are past the worst of their debt crisis. The World Bank, in a report this week, went so far as to say the global economy has "turned a corner."
However, the costs of the global financial crisis, which has left its mark on all corners of the world, are not expected to disappear overnight, and next week's meeting is likely to face criticism from groups campaigning against poverty and globalization.
Adrian Monck, who is the head of communications for the Forum, defended the gathering, noting that inequality and wealth gap were now on the agenda for discussion.
"It's important that people have that brought to their attention and that we mobilize people around those issues," he said.
Philip Jennings, General Secretary of the labor group UNI Global Union, said the risk report "should act as a wake-up call" to those attending Davos.
"These are global issues we can do something about: we can twist the global economy back into shape — this includes a new commitment to create jobs, address income inequality and falling living standards," said Jennings, whose organization represents 20 million workers from over 900 unions.
"Since the global financial crisis it's been a race to the bottom in jobs, wages and living standards," he said.
John Veihmeyer, chairman and CEO of KPMG's Americas division, said it's "absolutely understandable" that income inequality was revealed as a major risk and that fixing and improving education systems around the world is a key, if not sole, way to narrow the differences.
In large parts of the developed world, the imbalance between government spending and tax-based revenue will likely mean budget restraint for years to come at a time when economies are trying to gain traction.
"Many young people today face an uphill battle," said David Cole, chief risk officer at Swiss Re, a reinsurance firm that contributed to the Forum's risk assessment. "As a result of the financial crisis and globalization, the younger generation in the mature markets struggle with even fewer job opportunities and the need to support an aging population."
In a number of countries, particularly in those at the forefront of Europe's debt crisis, youth unemployment has risen to extremes. Greece and Spain have nearly 60 percent of their under-25s out of work.
As well as creating uncertainty in households and stifling consumer spending, sky-high youth unemployment also denies workers skills and experiences, depressing an economy's long-term potential and increasing tensions in society and between generations.
Those tensions have come to the fore in recent years, leading to many Western governments getting the boot at the ballot box, but have so far been largely contained.
And though the developing world has been spared much of the economic pain that befell the advanced economies, Swiss Re's Cole said they too have big issues, particularly a lack of skills in the workforce, which has to be tackled by governments and business alike.
In the developing world, pent-up tensions have led to the overthrow of regimes, most notably in the Arab world. However, popular protests have also erupted in fast-growing economies like Brazil and Turkey, highlighting how governments need to be mindful of the demands in society at a time when money appears to be plentiful.
"People are just not going to stand for it anymore," said Jennifer Blanke, chief economist at the World Economic Forum. "It's really eroding at the social fabric."
Other risks identified in Thursday's report include extreme weather events, cyber-attacks and a significant decline in the quality and quantity of fresh water.

Dr. Mary has completed her master and PhD in critical care nursing, then joined the University of Maryland School of Nursing for a 2-years postdoctoral fellowship in palliative care and end-of-life care where I worked in several research projects with my mentor, Dr. Debra Wiegand, who is internationally recognized for her work in Palliative and End-of-Life Care research in the intensive care units.
Before coming to Towson University, she worked as an assistant professor at Alexandria University for 12 years where she taught critical care and emergency nursing to undergraduate and graduate students. As a critical care nursing faculty, she have spent much time with my students in critical care units where she was deeply touched with the suffering of critically ill patients and their families which made her develop a passion for integrating palliative care in the intensive Care Units. So, her teaching philosophy is to be grounded in the ethic of caring. She believe that teaching excellence in nursing education encompasses not only the knowledge of the discipline and pedagogical skills but also the scholar's ability to value and transcend caring within the curricula and role modeling caring in the classroom, clinical setting and in the virtual learning environment.
Her research focuses on the integration of palliative care in intensive care units through establishing educational programs to help ICU physicians and nurses gain the knowledge and understand how to integrate palliative care into their day-to-day practice. She also focus on research devising new strategies for the effective teaching of caring, communication, palliative care and end of life care to health care students and developing interventions that empower nurses to provide quality palliative and end-of-life care to their patients.
Dr. Rahshida Atkins obtained a BSN, MSN, and PhD in Nursing from Rutgers College of Nursing in Newark. She completed a post doc at the University of Pennsylvania School of nursing with a focus on helping vulnerable women, children and families. She is currently an Assistant Professor at Rutgers School of Nursing-Camden, where she enthusiastically instructs students to become competent nursing professionals. She also works as a Family Nurse Practitioner, providing primary healthcare to children and adults. Dr. Atkins understands the issues of diversity impacting healthcare and that contributes to health disparities in vulnerable Americans. She has therefore, focused her program of research on addressing the mental health needs of vulnerable disadvantaged mothers and encouraging the adoption of healthy behaviors, such as physical activity in residents who live in under-served communities. Dr. Atkins has published her research in premier nursing journals and has presented it nationally raising awareness about the factors influencing the health of vulnerable underserved populations. In recognition of her dedication to nursing education, scholarship, and research she has earned numerous awards including the Veronica Clark-Tasker EOF Alumni Research Award, the Sigma Theta Tau Alpha Tau Chapter Excellence in Research Award, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Faculty Preparation Certificate, and the International Sigma Theta Tau Rising Star Recognition.

The mills of & Southern York County PA & Northern Harford County Md will be celebrating the heritage of milling the weekend of June 22 & 23 by hosting their fifth area-wide open house. This is part of a broader celebration sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Society for the Preservation of Old Mills (SPOOM). Participating in the event will be Eden Mill, Muddy Creek Forks Roller Mills,Woolen Mill Wind Engine and Wallace-Cross Mill. Each mill has something unique and different to offer regarding the contributions made by mills to our country and region.
According to the event coordinator, Todd Eyster, the ample water sources in this region have been used since before the beginning of this country to supply the power needed to drive the machinery used to process grain into flour. The water flow from our local streams was also used to power many of our other early industries. York County alone has more than 270 documented mill sites. Several local towns in this area also used water power to provide their first source of electrical generation for their community. Wind was also used to provide power needed to grind grain, pump water and other farm uses.

Report of the Supervisory Board
Contact & Order Form
Declaration of Compliance for the business year 2019.
Declaration in accordance with section 161 of the AktG and declaration of conformity with the German Corporate Governance Code.
The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of RATIONAL AG, Landsberg am Lech, hereby declare in accordance with section 161 of the AktG that, since the last declaration of conformity was submitted in February 2019, the recommendations of the Government Commission for a German Corporate Governance Code (as amended and published in the Federal Gazette on 24 April 2017) have been and are being complied with, with the following exceptions:
Number 4.2.3 (2) sentence 3 of the Code:
Number 4.2.3: "Variable remuneration components generally have a multiple-year assessment basis that shall have essentially forward-looking characteristics."
The variable components of Executive Board remuneration as agreed in the existing employment contracts with members of the Executive Board comprise various elements of the company's long-term success, but do not specifically stipulate a multi-year assessment basis. The Supervisory Board of RATIONAL AG regards sustainable company development as a matter of course. In a continuous process, milestones for the annual variable remuneration components of the members of the Executive Board are derived from the corporate strategy.
Numbers 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 of the Code:
Number 4.2.4: "The total compensation of each one of the members of the Management Board is to be disclosed by name, divided into fixed and variable compensation components. The same applies to promises of benefits that are granted to a Management Board member in case of premature or statutory termination of the function of a Management Board member or that have been changed during the financial year. Disclosure is dispensed with if the General Meeting has passed a resolution to this effect by three-quarters majority."
Number 4.2.5: "Disclosure shall be made in the Notes or the Management Report. A compensation report as part of the Management Report outlines the compensation system for Management Board members. The outline shall be presented in a generally understandable way.
The compensation report shall also include information on the nature of the fringe benefits provided by the company.
In addition, the remuneration report shall present the following information for every Management Board member:
the benefits granted for the year under review including the fringe benefits, and including the maximum and minimum achievable compensation for variable compensation components;
the allocation of fixed compensation, short-term variable compensation and long-term variable compensation for the year under review, broken down into the relevant reference years;
for pension provisions and other benefits, the service cost in/for the year under review.
The model tables provided in the appendix shall be used to present this information."
On May 4, 2016, the General Meeting of Shareholders of RATIONAL AG resolved to dispense with the publication of individualised figures for Executive Board remuneration in accordance with section 286 (5) of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB, German Commercial Code). This resolution of the General Meeting will be in effect for five years. Disclosure of the variable remuneration broken down by short-term and long-term components will not be made.
Number 5.1.2 (1) sentence 2 and (2) sentence 3 of the Code:
Number 5.1.2 (1) sentence 2: "When appointing the Management Board, the Supervisory Board shall also respect diversity."
Number 5.1.2 (2) sentence 3: "An age limit for members of the Management Board shall be specified."
The Supervisory Board and Executive Board expressly welcome all efforts to counter any form of discrimination and to promote diversity in a reasonable manner. When appointing members of the Executive Board, the special skills and qualifications of the candidate are the only decisive criterion for the Supervisory Board. Other attributes such as gender or national identity have not been and will not be of any consequence for this decision.
No age limit has been specified for members of the Executive Board, and the Supervisory Board believes that this would not be in the interest of the Company. Executive Board members are appointed solely on the basis of their ability to run the Company successfully. Just because someone reaches a specific age does not generally mean that he or she loses this ability. Moreover, a rigid age limit could be discriminatory.
Number 5.3.3 of the Code (Formation of committees):
"The Supervisory Board shall form a nomination committee composed exclusively of shareholder representatives which recommends suitable Supervisory Board candidates for the proposals of the Supervisory Board to the General Meeting."
The Supervisory Board formed an Audit Committee in 2015. The Supervisory Board does not believe that the establishment of a nomination committee is necessary. With a seven-member Supervisory Board, efficient discussions and lively exchanges of views on suitable candidates for nomination by the Supervisory Board to the General Meeting of Shareholders can also be held in the plenary session. Moreover, the fact that the Supervisory Board of RATIONAL AG is not subject to co-determination obviates the need to form a nomination committee that consists exclusively of shareholder representatives.
Number 5.4.1 (2) sentences 1 and 2 and (4) sent ences 1 and 2 of the Code:
Number 5.4.1 (2) sentence 1: "The Supervisory Board shall determine concrete objectives regarding its composition, and shall prepare a profile of skills and expertise for the entire Board."
Number 5.4.1 (2) sentence 2: "Within the company-specific situation the composition of the Supervisory Board shall reflect appropriately the international activities of the company, potential conflicts of interest, the number of independent Supervisory Board members within the meaning of number 5.4.2, an age limit and a regular limit to Supervisory Board members' term of office, both to be specified, as well as diversity."
Number 5.4.1 (4) sentence 1: "Proposals by the Supervisory Board to the General Meeting shall take these targets into account, while simultaneously aiming at fulfilling the overall profile of required skills and expertise of the Supervisory Board."
Number 5.4.1 (4) sentence 2: "The implementation status shall be published in the Corporate Governance Report."
The composition of the Supervisory Board of RATIONAL AG is guided by the Company's interests and guarantees that the Executive Board is effectively monitored and advised. The candidates for election to the Supervisory Board are selected exclusively on the basis of knowledge, skills and experience. Other attributes such as gender or national identity have not been and will not be of any consequence. No age limit has been specified for Supervisory Board members, nor has a regular limit of length of membership of the Supervisory Board. Nominations to the General Meeting of Shareholders are based exclusively on the knowledge, skills and experience of the candidates in question. The intention is to continue to abide by this policy in future in order to retain experience and skills for the benefit of the Company.

The happiness in my heart was as deep as the sea.
The true story of a lost child who never forgot his home, a mother who never gave up hope, and google earth.

I was surprised to read that, once transported to Calcutta, he was unable to communicate with anyone because his native language was Hindi. Although Calcutta is a Bengali-speaking city, isn't Hindi the official language of India? He was in a government detention center and an orphanage, after all.

Yes, but remember, he was 5. I don't think he'd have been able to figure out how to get to the people who spoke his language immediately.

Well, clearly the government failed here. I mean, if a 5 year old kid who doesn't speak English is lost in the U.S we don't expect them to locate their own translator, right?
It sounds like he didn't even know the name of his own home town. But, had he been able to tell then how long he'd been on the train, they probably would have been able to narrow it down quite a bit.
We moved when we I was 3 and a half or so, and because of that, I can put a definite upper bound on a lot early memories.
Supposedly kids brains go through a change around age three that builds the structures people will use to store memories throughout the rest of their lives. The result of this, though is that they end up forgetting a lot of the stuff they used to know.
Awwww. What a story. And what a fascinating use of Google Earth.
And from the story, he didn't even know what question to ask -- I know I wouldn't have known what to say or ask at that age.

delmoi - doesn't sound like you have a lot of understanding how your own childhood might have differed from a lost kid from rural India suddenly thrust into Calcutta.

At five, I could probably have told you my street address (I can still remember part of it, actually) -- but not necessarily the name of the town we were living in. They wouldn't have had a phone back then, so that wouldn't have helped.
I mean, sure -- as an adult, I can say that he should have found the right kind of adult, said the right things, etc, but to expect that of a five year old? It's amazing that he did as well as he did, survived, avoided the predators, and made it through the adoption system.

In kindergarten, I remember declaring to the teacher "The house with all of the flowers!" in response to where did I live.
Mind you, I was working from a hearing/vision deficit so my mother had mostly focused upon numbers and vocabulary.
but...yeah I would not have been able to get back home on my own had I wound up hours from my home at the age of 5 :(

The fact that he was a kid and was probably traumatized and all that for one. Then there's also class, I suppose; middle and upper middle kids are taught to tell their addresses and parents' names if they're lost. Perhaps the family didn't think of that.
Thing is, 1400 km is a lot of distance for many people, or would have been a lot of distance for a lot of people. You have to understand, Khandwa is near the Maharashtran border; the kid essentially went from the Cotton belt, crossed the Narmada ravines, the Gangetic plains, and the delta mangroves to reach Calcutta. It is a mundane train trip, but only if you knew where you were going; if you set out from London, you'd reach Rome after a 1400 km train ride.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Hindi there is influenced by Marathi or Urdu; so even if the kid found an Urdu speaker, he may have had a problem communicating with her.
For another, things were quite different twenty years back; you really had to speak the local language to get around. Just as there has been globalization, I do believe there has this been process of an _Indianization_ as well, in that there's a lot more cultural mobility than before. So now you have auto-drivers in Bangalore speaking fluent Tamil or Malayalam in addition to the local language, Kannada or Calcuttan screens showing Telugu movies. My team in India speaks ten languages among themselves; there's this girl who can and will participate in any conversation around her in any of the six languages she speaks effortlessly.
But all that is only now, after a generation of inter-mingling.

My stepmom had my younger brother and sister memorize a complete song (she'd sing it to them, with them, etc., all the freaking time):
"[brother's full legal name]'s address is:
Number, Street
City, State, word that rhymes with the last word in the street name
[brother's full legal name]'s address is:
Number, Street"
I thought she was nuts. I am, at present, reevaluating my position.
Yes, I can totally sing the song. Yes, I have used it when trying to remember that particular address. There was another song for the phone number, and I have that one memorized too. Thank goodness they've never moved or changed their number, because this would be a profound waste of brain space if they had.
Also, I completely want to cry thinking about this tiny kid trying train after train, hoping one would take him home. I am so glad he was able to find someplace safe and happy and loving to grow up in - a place where that can happen to one kid, though, is a place where it did happen to a bunch of kids whose endings weren't nearly so heartwarming, I'm sure.

He knew the name of the train station (or, a close approximation) but there were so many towns and so many train stations that even knowing that didn't narrow it down. And the way he eventually figured out where his town was was exactly because he remembered to a shocking degree of accuracy how long he had been on the train.
I can't believe that some people here are blaming THE FIVE-YEAR-OLD KID for not being clever enough to find someone to take him home, or his IMPOVERISHED RURAL FAMILY in this situation for not having the kid memorize some sort of information that would have made his homecoming easier.
They lived in rural India 30 years ago. They might not even have HAD an address in the traditional sense (think "the third house on the street"), and certainly would not have had a phone number. The guy says he tried to get several adults to help him and none were interested. He says that there were THREE THOUSAND other lost children in Calcutta.
It was way, way easier given the circumstances for the local officials to send him to an agency to adopt him out to comparatively wealthy foreigners than to try to track down his real parents. Not better. Not right. Just easier.
So they did the easy, wrong thing. It wasn't the kid's fault, or his family's either.
I'm glad he found his way home.

One extra-sad bit here is that his brother was apparently killed; that may have been why Ben wasn't woken up, and why he ended up in a strange city. Assuming that the death was foul play, the murderer very nearly ended two lives, without even knowing about the second.
Actually India has over 20 official languages. Library school homework FTW!
Plus, great story. Yay for Saroo and his family!

I continue to be dismayed by how the Internet is becoming (has already become?!) TV part II. In addition to SLYT warnings I'd like to see TVII warnings. The net can offer so much more than a traditional news program video with a compulsory advertisement at the beginning.

My daughter, at 2½ knows her first and last name, Mommy's first and last name, and Daddy's first and last name. It takes a long time and a lot of "emmms!" (m&m's) to get a toddler that far. We're drilling her on Mommy's cell number, now, and as soon as we're moved into our new house, she'll get a whole bunch of "emmms" for knowing her street address.
India has two "official" languages, which are as official as the local authorities believe they are - English and Hindi - and twenty-one "mother tongues." India isn't a nation as much as it is a continent - think of Europe, with its profligacy of languages, and then double the population density and extend its earliest written history back a millenium. A kind speaking Hindi (which dialect?) would absolutely be lost in a Bengali-speaking culture.

I cannot imagine how traumatic it would be for a 5 year old kid with little education or experience of the world outside his village to be dropped into Howrah Station like that. His dialect didn't match the Kolkata natives, he's 1400km from home and Kolkata is a madhouse with Howrah at its center. Moving story.

India has over 150 'mother tongues' or first languages. It is quite likely that Saroo spoke a local language as well as a bit of Hindi, or a Hindi/language mix. His accent may also have stymied his attempts to be understood. And as BlueJae says, they probably didn't have a street address at all, just a locality.
For those who have not been to India, children hanging around the station and the streets, even kids as young as 4 or 5, is not uncommon. They may be collecting plastic water bottles from between the railway tracks, or acting as a runner for a tea wallah, or asking for alms or just hanging around for something to do, to find a treasure of a rupee or two.
His brother may have died a number of ways; a predator is not the most common. Maybe hit by a train, or fell from a roof of a train, or was pushed out of a crowded third-class compartment, or fell between the door and the platform. He could have died from any number of the accidents that poor kids suffer in India.
I am amazed at Saroo's memory and his mother's insistence that he was alive and coming home. Those two bonds of love are the strengths of this story for me.

I'm really curious about the reactions of Saroo's adoptive family, the Brierleys. Did they know he was looking for his family; did they encourage him to do so? Have the adoptive and birth families met each other?
I've read about international adoption horror stories with various shady adoption agencies lying to adoptive parents about kids being orphaned, when their families are very much alive and in contact with the agency. That's not really the case here: Saroo wasn't stolen, he effectively WAS an orphan, and there was no way (seemingly) an adoption agent would be properly equipped to find his family again. But I wonder if the Brierleys were told "This kid says he has a family, but we have no idea where they are or how to reach them, and he's better off with you than in an orphanage / on the street" (all of which is true), or if the first they heard about this original family was the way those horror-story adopting families did: from Saroo himself when he learned enough English to tell them, months/years later on another continent, with all the papers signed and the trails gone cold.

Except for the lack of concentration camps, and the fact that Saroo didn't grow up to become J.G. Ballard.

Those are all good, uncomfortable issues.
When I was reading this, I kept having the uncomfortable thought, "wow, this all really worked out for the best". After all, Saroo's brother died, his mother continued to live in poverty, he likely would have grown into terribly poverty and no education.
But thinking this way is very in parallel to colonialist thinking. I'm not automatically saying I'm wrong. But if there's any truth to this, then that brings us very close to the typical international adoption stories where the presumption is that these children will be better off, anyway, even if they're stolen or sold.
One is hard-pressed not to wonder why the parents didn't make an effort to find Saroo's hometown and family. And one is hard-pressed not to suspect that they didn't think it was for the best that they not be found. I have a hard time not thinking that it was best they were not found.
I don't have any good answers here. I wish I did.

I've been thinking about the limitation of articles like this to answer all the questions raised by curious people like ourselves.
We have no idea of the efforts or not of his adoptive parents because it is not mentioned along with many other omitted details. Although it is tempting to fill in the blanks ourselves with thoughts and information that we have gathered from other situations, it is unfair to the subjects of our curiosity to make guesses at the truth and then draw conclusions from those guesses.
Like Ivan, I too wish I had more information, more answers to my questions and I hope there is a longer documentary or article made of this delightful reunion.

At KidEngage, we have a whole team that loves crafting and love to come up with new crafts everyday that are absolutely fun and easy to do with kids. In this new series, we will feature one DIY craft idea every week to help the parents keep their Craftsters constructively engaged.
The bottle cap craft-This week's contribution is by Gazal Sarpal who is our Events coordinator. Her idea is not just so much fun to make but is very easy on your pocket too as you do not have to hunt for a lot of materials at your stationary store. Just collect those various bottle caps, stuff to decorate and regular paints lying around at home.
1.	Paint the bottle cap on both sides with red paint and keep aside for 2 hours for drying. Repeat a coat if necessary and let it dry.
2.	Once dry, draw a line in the center with black paint. Also, paint a small semi circle on one side of the line.
3.	Paint small black dots on the rest of the cap with black paint. Let it dry.
4.	Glue the white and black bindi together and stick it on the black semicircle to make the eyes of the bug, as shown in the picture.
5.	You can stick the bug on a card stock paper and paint leaves or log of wood to make it look colorful and decorative.
4.	A small piece of yellow chart paper, cut into oval shape.
1.	Paint the bottle cap on both sides with yellow paint and keep aside for 2 hours for drying. Repeat a coat if necessary and let it dry.
2.	Once dry, draw two black lines towards one of the corners with black paint. Let it dry.
3.	Glue the white and black bindi together and stick it on the other end to make an eye of the fish, as shown in the picture.
4.	Cut a small piece of yellow chart paper into oval shape and stick it on the black lines to make a fin.
5.	You can stick the fish on a blue card stock paper and paint bubbles or small plants to make it look colorful and decorative.
Use your imagination and you can create rabbit, frog, octopus and other mini creatures with these minute caps. I hope you enjoy making the bottle crafts with your kids and stay delighted indoors too.

New diesel and petrol cars to be banned from 2040 in UK
New diesel and petrol cars and vans will be banned in the UK from 2040. This announcement from the government is in response to being taken to court by Environmental law firm ClientEarth over levels of air pollution.
The announcement mirrors that of France; earlier in July, President Emmanuel Macron said that diesel and petrol cars would be banned in France from 2040.
The UK government had already said that it wanted virtually all cars on sale in 2040 to be electric. So today's news isn't a surprise to the industry, and as 2040 is 23 years away, it still leaves the issue of what happens to clean up air quality in the immediate short-term.
Diesel is still seen as the primary culprit for poor levels of air quality in urban areas; older vehicles, including buses, taxis, vans and trucks, are responsible for the worst diesel emissions; the latest Euro 6 standard diesel cars are much cleaner.
So electric cars are seen as the way forward. BMW announced yesterday that a fully electric MINI would be built in the UK in 2019. Volvo also recently announced that all its new cars from 2019 will have an electric motor – this means that the company will still be offering petrol and diesel engines, but in combination with plug-in hybrid powertrains.
The government recently released its draft clean air strategy for consultation, which included proposals for clean air zones in the most polluted urban areas. However overall this document put the onus on local authorities, and didn't contain many revolutionary ideas for the short term. The document contained no confirmation of a diesel scrappage scheme. The government now has to publish the final version.
Environmental law firm ClientEarth took the government to court over illegal levels of harmful pollutant nitrogen dioxide. Air pollution is thought to be linked to about 40,000 premature deaths a year in the UK, and transport also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. ClientEarth's Chief Executive James Thornton recently spoke at the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership's Annual Conference at City Hall in London.
In combination with ever more news items about the increasingly rapid switch to electric cars, last week the National Grid published its 'Future Energy Scenarios' (FES) report, which stated that electric vehicles could create an additional peak electricity demand of up to 18 GW by 2050, equivalent to an additional 30 per cent on top of today's peak demand of 60 GW. However smart charging, as being trialled by the Electric Nation project, could play a key role in helping to tackle this challenge.

How Remote Control Works That Can Increase Stress
How A New Boeing Boss Can Rebuild A Damaged Company Reputation
To Reverse The Integrity Of Indonesian SOE, Ethical Leadership Is Needed
Volkmer
Remote working is getting more popular than ever before. A study published by the Swiss workplace supplier IWG discovered that 70 percent of professionals work liberally at least some day per week, whereas 53% operate for at least half of their week. Many multinationals have their whole personnel working remotely, without a fixed office presence in any way, which may result in getting workers located all around the world.
While there are definitely benefits, in addition, there are lots of draw backs. As distant functioning becomes the new standard for many, it is important businesses adapt and set the ideal policies in place to make sure their workers feel a part of the group and do not burn off. Almost 70 percent of millennials are more inclined to decide on an employer that provided remote working according to a study, the advantages are significant.
Employees appreciate the flexibility it provides them, especially if they've childcare commitments. Individuals also love escaping long commutes and preventing work place distractions. However additionally, there are growing concerns that people's psychological well being and well being sometimes takes a hit when working remotely. In the united kingdom, companies lose annually as a result of workplace stress, depression and stress.
Research indicates that being always on and reachable by technology whilst working remotely contributes to the blurring of job and non-work bounds, especially in the event that you work at home. Analysis of 1,100 employees found that the 52 percent who worked from home at least some of their time were prone to feel left out and abused, in addition to unable to take care of battle between themselves and coworkers.
Get Out Of The Mind Zone
Navigating sensitive land in a virtual group is a vital skill. If we are not careful, problems can fester. Emails could be thought of as being impolite or overly direct and without a observable body language it's tricky to communicate our true significance. At a digital environment there's a inclination to concentrate too much on jobs and too small on connections.
This type of transactional leadership may be the path taken by leaders that wish to find the work done but don't recognise how important the people are that are completing these jobs. With more emphasis on deadlines and regular info, virtual employees can feel handled as a cog in a system, as opposed to an important part of the group.
This type of leadership strategy may worsen the feeling of isolation which obviously includes working remotely and may donate to virtual office stress. As part of the study, I have spoken to college colleagues and students working virtually. Due to isolation, isolation and being not able to turn off, in addition to the absence of social assistance, were mentioned. Among the more important issues raised was the virtual functioning was handled.
Interviewees stated a shortage of feedback from line managers and senior coworkers gave them no reference to gauge progress, which resulted in increased feelings of stress and a concern regarding whether they had been up to standard. Being not able to report being stressed or becoming uncomfortable doing this, is harmful as stress will eventually outweigh an individual's capacity to deal over time.
By comparison, one recent study found that coworkers that spend only 15 minutes socialising and sharing their own feelings of anxiety had a 20 percent boost in performance. The ideal type of communication is critical to beating the trials and tribulations of digital working. Employers will need to set the proper structures in place for example scheduled movie calls and routine team building meetups to construct rapport.
Everybody should think of what makes them more productive, happy and effective at everyday life and attempt to replicate this at a distant setting if this ranges from taking a stroll at lunch time, visiting the gym, ringing a buddy or reading your favorite book.
In the event the future of job is going towards more virtual functioning, then it isn't something we could avert. Rather we should employ ways of handling the stress related to it, while still enjoying the advantages.

Boeing expects the financial price of its two deadly airplane crashes to be as large as US$19 billion, also has supported its first yearly loss in 20 decades. But authorities and investors might well worry about the coming of the successor, Capsa Online firm insider Dave Calhoun. For if there's some lesson which we are able to take from the 737 Max scandal, it's that as a business, Boeing clearly considered itself to become more capable than it really was.
Boeing's answers to the numerous disclosures of security shortcomings are widely regarded as arrogant, dismissive and, finally, begrudging. Appointing someone that has been on the business board for the previous ten years since a replacement CEO is a recipe for new thinking, or anything resembling an independent evaluation of what should change.
Truly it was just last week which Calhoun appeared to state total confidence in Boeing workers in regards to security a remarkable position given recent events. But it's simple to become institutionally arrogant such as this in the event that you're among just a couple of big players within a market. The unmanned aircraft marketplace only includes two providers, Boeing and Airbus.
Commercial airline businesses wind up locked into buying schedules with a single maker, at the least to ease the integration of aircraft and the essential training which accompanies it. This surroundings breeds complacency. When clients are locked in that altering provider would take a huge quantity of work, business managers become idle, unresponsive and most destructive deaf to worries regarding product quality.
In the event of Boeing, the simple fact that the merchandise concerns associated with security showed just how much the organization's internal criteria had lapsed. Boeing should balance the need for continuity with the requirement to be regarded as responding seriously to the most significant crisis in the organization's history.
That job falls right to the new CEO, that must do three things if he's to succeed in rebuilding the standing of the business enterprise. As an insider, Calhoun might be prompted to attempt and brush past failings beneath the carpeting. Instead, to start with, he wants to run a comprehensive review and review of Boeing's operations.
After all, this is a organisation which systematically ignored safety issues, withheld critical documentation from authorities and whose instant internal reaction to some devastating crashes was to blame other people. When it's to be credible, such a review needs to have a broad mandate and be modulated by an independent party coverage to the non-executive supervisors.
Secondly, he wants to restore inner pride. One of Boeing's best assets is its own specialized engineers, engineers and production team. But this really is a market where the best gift is able to move fast and in Boeing's case it appears clear they are now extremely vulnerable to losing ability. Rebuilding pride takes some time, but it begins with the fundamentals, demonstrating respect for the job which has been achieved by the workforce below what needs to be quite intense conditions.
Communication clearly this can be a pivot point in regards to the criteria that the firm will hold itself and resulting from the front by example. Managers that speak of change whilst behaving exactly the exact same manner they have consistently done fatally undermine other activities designed to increase morale.
Steps To Change
Finally, he wants to revive confidence, mostly with customers and regulators but also, beyond that, together with investors and other outside stakeholders such as the regional communities in which Boeing operates. If trust is low, there are far more requirements on a company, which frequently contributes to higher inefficiency and price.
Regulators are going to want to visit a dedication to a proactive supervision regime, one which builds venture instead of simply compliance. Investors need to think that Calhoun is sufficiently independent to reach the bottom of why Boeing allowed itself to enter this place on a few of its flagship products and how it's changing its culture to respond differently to battles externally or internally.
It's possible for insiders to attain success following a catastrophe. Boeing's board should step up its supervision of its own defensive appointee to make certain it combines the ranks of these firms that have emerged stronger following a catastrophe, not poorer.

However, while SOE play a very important part in supplying services and goods from the biggest economy in Southeast Asia, corrupt practices still happen inside the industry. The recently appointed State Owned Enterprises Minister Erik Thohir faces a difficult undertaking to eliminate corruption and construct integrity within state-owned businesses.
The entrenched corruption in SOE can hamper Jokowi vision for all these businesses to become agents of growth. But, just 15 contributed considerably to the state coffers. But it's feasible to get a public organisation at a tainted political economic surroundings to construct integrity. Our latest study showed that this may be accomplished via the idea of ethical direction.
Thohir appears to be attempting to imbue this notion from the SOE sector through his brand new appointments of commissioners in many of state owned businesses. But locating leaders which have a clean record and free of controversy isn't straightforward. Hierarchical leadership denotes the character, behavior and decision making a leader shows using function modelling, reinforcement and communicating to inspire employees to make decisions and act by applicable moral values, standards and principles.
Inside and beyond the organisation it has a significant part in fostering and maintaining high organisational ethics. Profession leadership is paramount for directing the way to sustainable change within a difficult political and socio cultural environment such as Indonesia, but its own promise stays an almost impossible undertaking. Findings and courses in academic study affirm the significance of moral leadership for the integrity and ethics of businesses.
To nurture ethics throughout the business enterprise, there has to be executive directors inside it that lead by example and show continuous commitment to its ethics program. Franchisees need freedom to develop and execute ethics programs because of their organisation, plus they will need to have the moral courage to innovate doing so despite stakeholder pressure.
Political leadership has to encourage and protect organisations which take ethics badly to break the cycle of conflicts of interest and the subsequent corruption. SOE are a part of broader networks using opportunistic political, private and public investigators. Therefore organisational leaders should acquire political backing from the greatest levels in government, such as the Ministry of SOE, to have the ability to turn into the desirable representatives of growth.
For the SOE to have the ability to work with higher ethics and efficient accomplishment of its aims, ethical leadership has to be set up on all some degrees, political financing, autonomous leadership in the executive level, and moral commitment on the executive management degree so leaders could lead by example. Just when the people can see better moral performance of public associations, public confidence can be recovered.
But, Thohir's appointments aren't free from a controversy. For example, whilst BTP he was governor of Jakarta, he was accused of participation in cases like alleged corruption at the acquisition of property for a hospital in Jakarta and was questioned by law enforcement over potential maladministration of Jakarta Bay reclamation project. Also, some people today believe BTP to be vulgar in his use of speech and think about him arrogant and impolite. Some consider that this resulted in his two year imprisonment for blasphemy.
His fans think this was a character assassination of a fresh governor before election time. Chandra after became an attorney to get a defendant for corruption at a power plant job after he resigned from KPK. The controversy surrounding the new SOE commissioners demonstrate that it is not simple to locate ethical leaders. The ones with a track record from anti corruption direction appear to be fighting with conflicts of interest.
It is still early to determine if BTP, Chandra or Amien can triumph in cultivating integrity inside the businesses they're embedded. However, with these functions, they've been given a second opportunity to show their ethical leadership abilities.
