Soft Systems Methodology attempts to foster learning and appreciation of the problem situation between a group of stakeholders rather than set out to solve a pre-defined problem. The complexity of many organisational/social problem situations defeats attempts at defining a problem: in many such situations the problem is 'what is the problem?'. SSM provides a framework for tackling such situations.
There are two main modes within SSM, real world activities and systems thinking about the real world. Initial work involves interviews and meetings to gain an understanding of the problem situation, which is represented by the use of 'rich pictures'. Systems thinking uses concepts of hierarchy, communication, control, and emergent properties to identify 'relevant systems' which may provide useful insights.
These relevant systems are logically defined by constructing 'root definitions' which are then used to generate 'conceptual models' of the selected systems. Different conceptual models representing different viewpoints are then used as the basis of a debate, which through an 'appreciative process' can lead to feasible and desirable change and then to action. Soft Systems Methodology has been developed over twenty years by Peter Checkland of the Department of Systems at Lancaster University, and others.
Problems do not exist independent of human beings, they are constructs of the concerned mind, defined by individual world view; therefore look not at the problem but at the situation.
Interrelationship of problems = 'mess' (multiple problem situation).
Worldview - different (and equally valid) interpretations of the world by each individual.
(Corollary of 1) Solutions are also intellectual constructs and no 'problem' exists in isolation.
Improvements in situations are most likely through sharing of perceptions, persuasion and debate. Analysts should be interactive/therapeutic rather than expert.
Analysts cannot be divorced from the problem.

Would-be problem solver (Who wishes to do something about the situation).

Toyota To Chase Le Mans Title Again In 2018 - 19
LONDON — Toyota will try again to win Le Mans next year and in 2019 after committing to another season of the world endurance championship. The Japanese car maker had been considering its position after champions Porsche pulled out at the end of the 2017 season, leaving Toyota as the only major manufacturer in the top LMP1 category.
Toyota said in a statement on Tuesday, however, that it was committed to "at least" the 2018-19 season following publication of the regulations. The 'super season' will last 14 months and includes two editions of the Le Mans 24 Hours sportscar race in June 2018 and 2019. "It is highly regrettable that our rival in honing technologies on the roads of Le Mans has left," said Toyota president Akio Toyoda. "Yet the World Endurance Championship ... and particularly Le Mans, where the battle goes on for 24 hours, including on public roads, still represent the optimal proving ground for achieving the goal of making cars fun for the next 100 years." The decision is a boost for double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso, who tested with Toyota in Bahrain last month and is eager to race at Le Mans in his bid to become only the second driver to win the "Triple Crown" of motorsport. The McLaren driver entered the Indianapolis 500 this year, leading that race before retiring when his car's Honda engine expired. McLaren have ended their Formula One partnership with Honda, opening the door for Alonso to drive for Toyota at Le Mans — a race that does not clash with any grand prix. Toyota said it will announce the world endurance driver lineup early next year. Only one Japanese manufacturer has ever won Le Mans, Mazda in 1991. Toyota has been five-time runnerup and has spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the years in pursuit of victory at the French endurance classic. Reporting by Alan Baldwin

As the global pilot shortage continues to grip the aviation industry, airlines and academies are busy ramping up training capacities, as Keith Mwanalushi finds
From: Low Cost & Regional Airline Business | Volume 14, April 2019 | Training
In November last year, Ryanair announced it had partnered with SKY4u Aviation training Services based in Berlin, Germany to deliver a Ryanair Airline Pilot Standard (APS MCC) programme in Berlin and Vienna. The partnership will ensure Ryanair continues to attract highly trained professional pilots to support its continued growth across Europe. This new EASA approved enhanced MCC programme gives trainee pilots a structured path to achieve training and reach a standard where they are ready to join the Ryanair Boeing 737 Type Rating programme.
Pilots on the programme are being trained by SKY4u instructors, using Ryanair procedures, as they take their first steps towards becoming Ryanair pilots, and over the course of the next four and a half years, up to 450 new pilots from across Europe will be recruited and trained by SKY4u, it is anticipated. At the time of the announcement, SKY4u's Head of Training and CEO, Captain Kay Wachtelborn said this was a unique opportunity for students to become commercial airline pilots. "Ryanair has an industry leading training department with an unrivalled safety record, and we are proud to be associated with them. This is a new approach to pilot training, and one that we welcome enthusiastically," he said.
Several other airlines have recently announced new training partnerships to raise the numbers of pilots coming through. In January, Indian LCC IndiGo, said it had chosen UK-based Skyborne Airline Academy to train up to 100 pilots a year over the next five years, as part of the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Programme. Reportedly, the Indian budget carrier, is cancelling dozens of flights every day over the next two months, as it struggles to find enough skilled pilots.
The 18-month programme will enable selected cadets to train for a US FAA and Indian DGCA Commercial Pilots Licence and Airbus A320 Type Rating, before advancing into employment and flying the line as a First Officer with the Indian carrier. Lee Woodward, CEO at Skyborne, feels that forging partnerships with pilot training academies is a fantastic way for airlines to secure the next generation of industry professionals, and leads to an increased number of applications.
"Cadet pilots are taught to fly the way the airline requires them to, and tend to go on to feel a true sense of loyalty towards the airline they were recruited and trained for," he says. Some of these partnerships include a Letter of Intent to Employ (providing cadets successfully complete the training programme), and this level of security about future employment should certainly be attractive to aspiring pilots.
"Airlines are getting involved much earlier in the pilot creation process," says Nick Leontidis, CAE's Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. "They are looking for training to their unique professional standards from day one. Airlines are not just looking for first officers to fill the right seat, but they're looking for candidates with the potential to become captains within their organisations."
CAE works with over 300 airlines, and trains more than 135,000 pilots annually at every phase of their career, and Leontidis assures that the demand for the profession is high, with more than 300,000 new pilots needed over the next decade. Based on the most recent ICAO standards for professional pilot competencies, Leontidis observes that new assessment systems have emerged, promising the selection of candidates that not only can become competent first officers, but have what it takes to be successful captains.
More objective assessments as pre-requisite for ab-initio training are being enabled. Complementing ICAO's standard for pilot competencies, the industry is also moving towards the inclusion of the unique operators' cultural reality as selection criteria, enabling candidates to be even more successful in their assigned environment. L3 Airline Academy has invested strongly in expanding its capacity to be able to meet the growing international demand for new pilots. In 2018, this included opening a new European Airline Academy in the Ponte de Sor, Portugal.
This yearL3 will be opening a new London training centre. The facility will include classrooms and briefing rooms, as well as an extensive range of high-end training devices, proving a contemporary and progressive training environment for both aspiring and experienced pilots. The site will also house a production facility capable of manufacturing 30 full flight simulators per year. L3 has a long history of working in close partnership with a wide range of airlines across the globe.
"These partnerships are positive, as they provide aspiring cadets with a clear career path," comments Geoff van Klaveren, Vice President of L3 Airline Academy. "They are therefore likely to increase the volume of applications. Over the years, these programmes have proven very popular with our cadets, and continue to do so. One of the key reasons for this, is that the airlines provide conditional job offers to the cadets before they embark on their training." >>

Before we jump into this week's links, please have a look at one of our recent blog posts, Cloud vendors engage in latest feature battle. It's become a copycat industry. If one vendor does it, chances are the others will follow.
In a rather bold statement last week, an analyst from Jeffries concluded that AWS is the only cloud that matters in the market. While AWS is the market leader by far right now, there is ample evidence that Microsoft and Google, while far behind, have been picking up steam.
While AWS is clearly the market leader, it's not them, Microsoft, Google, or even Oracle who is leading in cloud growth right now. According to numbers released by Gartner, that distinction belongs to none other than Alibaba. The Chinese online retail giant's cloud computing division continues eye-popping triple-digit growth.
Microsoft held its Ignite Conference this week in Orlando and made a bushel of announcements including a bunch about Azure and cloud computing. One of those involved the Azure Stack product, which allows customers to set up an Azure cloud in their own data centers. While that has been announced for some time, it's finally shipping to customers (and that's news).
Don't look now, but AWS is about to expand into a big growth market. It announced it will be opening a data center region in the Middle East by 2019, giving it a foothold in an emerging technology market.
Azure Stack wasn't the only thing Microsoft was announcing at Ignite earlier in the week, it also revealed some new features to help customers better understand the cost of using Azure, a big problem for all cloud customers. To that end, Microsoft introduced reserved instances (something that AWS has been offering for some time), which give a fixed cost in exchange for agreeing to a fixed length contract.

EURO 2012 > Euro 2012 > Turkey willing to host Euro 2012 if Ukraine, Poland out
Turkey willing to host Euro 2012 if Ukraine, Poland out
Turkey has offered to host the 2012 European Football Championship if Ukraine and Poland, co-hosts of Europe's biggest football organization, back out over the economic turmoil that badly affected Ukraine, the Turkish sports minister said on Wednesday.
Turkish State Minister for Sports Murat Basesgioglu told a parliamentary committee meeting that Turkey has hosted major international sporting events in the past and could competently host Euro 2012.
News reports earlier said that Ukraine's severe financial crisis was threatening the country's ability to host the 2012 European Championship as most construction projects have stalled due to a liquidity crunch.
Ukraine is co-hosting the championship with neighboring Poland, but both have been warned on multiple occasions by UEFA, European soccer's governing body, to speed up preparations for the organization.
Poland's soccer chief suggested late October that Germany could replace Ukraine as co-host of Euro 2012.

An increasing number of people have given up on the balancing act. They have found that it's impossible to draw a line in the sand and divide their lives into two parts.
We only have one life to live, so why complicate it by trying to reach our goals in two separate worlds as if one doesn't have anything to do with the other one?
You might find that it pays to NOT try to balance your life!
Thus the emerging trend of work life integration. This concept is still in its early stages, but more and more people are finding that it works better for them than trying to keep things in balance.
Work life integration is all about flowing seamlessly from one area to the other. Your spouse may say something that helps you at work. Your co-workers may give you insight for things at home.
Pay attention to all the important people and priorities in your life all the time, rather than thinking that you need to segment them.
That's the essence of work life integration. It requires a paradigm shift … thinking about your life a different way. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to be great in two separate areas of your life, focus on doing your best in your single life. Remove the limitations that you've placed on yourself.
Work only occurs at the office; personal only occurs at home. We shouldn't mix the two. It's how we've been trained to think. The problem is … it doesn't work!
Many people think they of work as the activities they do during certain times of the day (e.g. 9 to 5). Then they live their personal lives. It may make sense for you to adjust your schedule, depending upon the flexibility your employer allows.
A recent study by Hudson, a leading international recruiting firm, showed that nearly one-third of the people surveyed ranked flexibility as their #1 priority in considering a new job offer.
We think that we need to achieve balance every day. In reality, sometimes work demands more of us; at other times, our personal life needs the most attention. Give yourself permission to focus on what's most important. Don't worry about whether everything is balanced every day.
If you think about it, work – life balance is sort of an unnatural expectation. Work – life integration is more congruent with how most of us actually live. It's just more natural.
Here at Bigg Success, we understand this concept very well because we live it. We work together, often at home. We play together. We often get to travel together, combining some pleasure with the primary purpose of the trip. We also find that a lot of personal conversations lead to ideas like the one you're reading now.
Of course, not all spouses can (or should) work together. Do what works for you. The good news is that, according to the Chartered Management Institute, there will be a blurring of boundaries between work and family because more and more of us will be working virtually.
Our bigg quote today comes from Karl Weick.
So pull yourself together … integrate your lives.
Next time, we'll discuss four things to pay attention to that pay off. Until then, here's to your bigg success!
Nick, balance is a constant challenge. That's why we like this concept of integration better. You aren't focusing on balance each part of your life, but rather allowing these 2 parts to flow fluidly back and forth.
If you work 12 hours a day, more than 5 days a week, does this discussion of work/life balance make any sense at all? In the early part of the 20th century, workers fought hard (some died) for an 8 hour workday so that they could have time to do something other than work and sleep. Many high-tech workers and young managers climbing the corporate ladder seem more than willing to give that up for promised future gains. My average day is 10 hours. I am thankful that I only work 5 days a week. Add a lengthening daily commute to that and most of my day is gone during the week. Some of us resolve this by shortening the amount of time we sleep. 5-6 hours of sleep a night is not uncommon and not enough. Lowered productivity results, leading to longer hours as a way to get something done. I see more cases of fatigue leading to lowered productivity and lower quality results. "Good enough" becomes the rule because we're too tired to strive for more.
Mashing work and life together works great only if you love what you do. Ask Mick Jagger about work/life balance. He probably has no problem. Many of us are not that fortunate.
I have been working professionally and blogging on the same subject for a little while now so it is great to read a common viewpoint. Work/life balance was an important step but only the notions of work/life integration and work/life fusion provide the right context for the future.
Understand what you're proposing, but I don't want my work life invading my personal life any more than it already does. I like the boundaries that are there. Why subject my family to my work any more than I have to?
@Martin – "Mashing work and life together works great only if you love what you do." You say it well. This may be the most important part of being able to integrate work and life.
@Paul – We just zipped over to your blog and subscribed to your feed!
@Amy – It sounds like you've you've found what works well for you, which is fantastic! Our point is that there is a growing number of people for whom balance doesn't work…and integration may be the answer.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts with us!
A new concept you can use to merge your professional and personal life….


The Boy from Space was an educational serial that ran as part of the Look and Read series under the BBC's Television for Schools banner. It was first broadcast in 1971 and in a reformatted version in 1980.
The Boy from Space was a children's serial that ran as part of the Look and Read series under the BBC's educational Television for Schools banner.


Founded in 1974 by two brothers, one an entrepreneur, the other the Dean of the Faculty of Management and Policy Sciences at Aston University, the history of the College is one of educational innovation and entrepreneurship. An important part of the mission of the College has been to play an active role in the development of independent higher education. One way we do this is through building our relationships and actively contributing as members of bodies from across the sector, including GuildHE, Strategic Advisory Committees, and Advanced HE.
• In 1982, the College, in collaboration with the extra-mural department at the University of London, created a series of programmes in Petroleum Management, the last at the request of the Nigerian Oil Corporation. This resulted in one of the first postgraduate qualifications specifically related to the management of the oil and gas industries in the UK. We continue to deliver programmes across these areas today, building on our close association with the Energy Institute.
• In 1984, the College became a founding partner and member of the British Accreditation Council (BAC). The aims of BAC were to ensure the quality of independent further and higher education provision and enable these providers to work with the British Government to provide a 'kitemark' to support the recruitment of international students. The Council now stands as the oldest national independent accrediting body for independent further and higher education providers in the UK.
• In 1986, the College began delivery of liberal arts and business programmes from Western International University in the United States. In doing this, we were one of the earliest institutions in the UK to offer students US degrees. We continued to grow this type of programme and in the 1990s we were the largest provider of US degrees in the UK.
• In 1992-93, the College was a contributing member to the Flowers Committee of Enquiry on the Organisation of the Academic Year. As a result, in 1994, GSM London became one of the first colleges in England to pilot and offer a full-scale implementation of accelerated degrees. Though funded privately, we worked in liaison with accelerated pilot programmes funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), such as those at the University of Luton.
• In 2012, the College opened a second campus in West London (Greenford) to extend our education to a wider community of learners. The aim was to offer our education to other communities with low-participation rates in Higher Education in the West of London, particularly those with POLAR 1 and 2 profiles. A further benefit was to ensure that GSM London had adequate space to accommodate the expansion in numbers that the College was undergoing while also addressing the distances travelled by some of our students to the Greenwich campus from West London.
Our legacy of innovation and educational entrepreneurship continues to inform our approach today, and has continued to develop through our partnerships with our validating bodies: University of Plymouth and University of Wales.
In the past couple of years, the College has continued to develop and innovate, both in how it delivers education to its unique student body and in the introduction of new courses that meet the needs of today's growth industries. An example of the former is our three-semester intake and pioneering work with strengths-based learning. An example of the latter is our creation of a degree course in app development. And in line with our values and vision, we will continue to use this entrepreneurial spirit to keep developing what we do and to extend the opportunities presented by Higher Education to new communities.

RHD presents at National Housing First conference
RHD presented at the Housing First Partners Conference in Denver on the success that RHD's Camden Supportive Housing program has had in providing comprehensive, recovery-oriented case management services to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The program strives to embody the Values of RHD while embracing the tenets of Harm Reduction and Housing First.
RHD's Camden Supportive Housing started as part of a needle exchange continuum compiled by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, and has grown to provide comprehensive, recovery-oriented case management services to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The team provides services in people's homes, working to ensure long-term tenancy and building toward the ultimate goal of recovery, wellness and independence. Utilizing case management services and embracing the tenets of Harm Reduction and Housing First, RHD Camden Supportive Housing has an 87 percent Housing Retention Rate.
View RHD's Presentation here
RHD Supportive Housing programs are based on the principles of Housing First. The Housing First Model is built on the premise that housing is a basic human right and should not be denied to anyone. National studies show that areas embracing Housing First see a decline in the use of crisis services that results in millions of dollars in savings to public systems. Persons in Housing First experience a significant decrease in detox admissions, incarcerations, visits to Emergency Rooms, and nights spent in emergency shelters.
RHD Supportive Housing programs focus on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual. RHD works closely and cooperatively with state and local partners to ensure the best possible service. Staff and participants foster positive, productive relationships with landlords, neighbors and community partners. RHD Supportive Housing programs provide services to persons with diverse backgrounds – notably those who have struggled with homelessness, long-term or frequent stays in institutional settings, and years in large congregate settings.
"You can't make a better choice than RHD," said Leon, an RHD client who has successfully maintained his own housing. "I've been at RHD for four years. And, man, I'm hoping for 40 more."
RHD's Supportive Housing programs combine housing with supportive services in the areas of mental and physical health, addiction recovery, education, neighbor relations, employment and other life skills. Staff also connects participants with community services and supports that are necessary to sustain successful living in the community.
"We don't try to force people into a certain approach; we're flexible and meet consumers where they are," said Julie Barnett, director of RHD Ocean County Residential Intensive Support Team. "We work together to achieve those goals in a way that involves wellness and recovery. That's the RHD way – meet that person where they are."
Models of Service:
• ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) Teams
• Medically Enhanced RIST (Residential Intensive Support) Teams
• RIST (Residential Intensive Support) Teams
• Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation Teams
• Supportive Housing Teams
|• Targeted Case Management Teams
• Critical Time Intervention Housing First
RHD believes recovery begins with safe, affordable and stable housing. This allows an individual to avoid multiple moves through different levels of housing, as these levels often create a system of artificial barriers to recovery. From our first Supportive Housing program for 10 persons in 1995, RHD has expanded this service to support more than 800 people across five states. RHD believes in giving everyone the opportunity to live in the least restrictive environment possible. RHD has a proven track record of helping people live independently, after stays in hospital settings, group homes or living on the street. RHD's model works effectively with other populations such as the elderly, the re-entry population, and veterans in maintaining independence in their community of choice.


Jabalpur was then known as Tripuri and was represented by Hayahaya rulers. The antiquated Indian epic of Mahabharata has references to his city. Jabalpur turned into a piece of the considerable Mauryan and the Gupta Empires. It later turned into the seat of the Kalchuri tradition. The Marathas held influence over Jabalpur until 1817, when the British wrested it from them and left their impact on the extensive cantonment with its provincial habitations and sleeping quarters.

ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE'S WE ARE IN A PLAY!
Book and Lyrics by Mo Willems
Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
Based on the Elephant & Piggie books by Mo Willems
An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, "bestus" (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means "very best") friends. But Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual. That's because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.

GEMS Club pancake breakfast falls anything but flat
BLOOMFIELD, August 13, 2020 – It was a 'flipping' great day for our County hospital on Thursday.
Carrie Koopmans, club coordinator for the Bloomfield GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) Club presented the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation with $600 for the purchase of priority medical equipment.
The GEMS Club is a relationship building club program created especially for girls in Grades 2 to 7. Their vision is to see girls actively and enthusiastically expressing love for God and others. The club is hosted out of the Bethany Christian Reformed Church in Bloomfield.
The funds were raised at a pancake supper hosted on February 25, 2020 where approximately 130 people dined on flap jacks served by the girls.
The GEMS Club members chose to donate the proceeds to the PECMH Foundation after earning their First Aid badge. The club hosted Joel Daniels, a paramedic with Hastings Quinte Paramedic Services and Jenny Stever, a registered nurse at Quinte Health Care (QHC) who works at the PECM Hospital. Joel and Jenny taught the girls about hospital and paramedic services, procedures and shared their experiences.
Part of the GEMS Club mission is to give back to the community through funds raised at their annual pancake supper. Half of the proceeds stay within the club and the other half are donated to a worthy cause. In past years, the club has donated to causes such as the Storehouse Foodbank and mission-related activities. This year, the members felt they learned so much about the hospital from Joel and Jenny that they wanted to donate their proceeds to the PECMH Foundation's equipment fund.
"The Bloomfield GEMS Club would like to extend our sincere thanks to Joel Daniels and Jenny Stever as well as the generous community members who attended our pancake supper. The girls would also like to thank the Church's Congregational Life Team, family members and volunteers who helped execute a successful pancake supper," said Koopmans.
Foundation Executive Director, Shannon Coull also thanked the community and GEMS Club members for supporting our community's vibrant Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.
"This gift from the GEMS Club will help County residents and patients continue to have access to state-of-the-art medical equipment, close to home," she said. "This year, the Foundation is challenged with raising over $300,000 for priority medical equipment needed across our region. At PECMH, we are raising funds for a new crash cart defibrillator, two new SMART beds and a steamer to prepare patient meals. In addition, we are helping to raise funds for equipment needed for the maternal child unit at QHC Belleville General Hospital where approximately 150 County babies are born each year. This gift will help keep our hospitals well equipped for every person in this community."
The Bloomfield GEMS Club currently has between 15 and 25 members. For more information, contact Carrie Koopmans at 613-827-5854.
The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation is a charitable organization whose mission is to raise money to advance health care for the patients of the hospital and the people of Prince Edward County.

We received a very nice review of our pomades over the weekend by the fine folks at the men's style blog ~ Anchor Division. Thank you Jamison, keep up the great work.
Big Cheers to Anchor Division.
We received this excellent letter of support from one of our new customers. I just wanted to a drop a line or two and commend you guys for a great product.

Now, since I've found a proper barber, I've been keeping my hair low and tight with just a dime size of the Gold, and it feels pretty damn good. Cheers and be well.
Kind words like this revalidate our mission to produce quality grooming products. Thank you Mr. Castillo!

I just wanted to pass on some positive feedback.
yourselves arrived within 7 days. I have no idea how you did it, but it's much appreciated.
Secondly, the product. I picked up 2 tins of pomade, and a comb. The pomade is EXACTLY what I have been looking for over the last 5 years. Perfect hold and appearance, easy to wash out, no grease, and doesn't stick to your hands. The comb is probably the best quality comb I've ever owned.
Please keep up the great work. I'll be making many purchases with yourselves in the future, and recommending you wherever possible.

The 1960s on Film
Sunshine and Laughter
German film is diverse and multi-faceted; its history includes five distinct German governments (Wilhelmine Germany, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German Democratic Republic), two national industries (Germany and Austria), and a myriad of styles and production methods. Paradoxically, the political disruptions that have produced these distinct film eras, as well as the natural inclination of artists to rebel and create new styles, allow for the construction of a narrative of German film. While the disjuncture generates distinct points of separation, it also highlights continuities between the ruptures. Outlining the richness of German film, The A to Z of German Cinema covers mainstream, alternative, and experimental film from 1895 to the present through a chronology, introductory essay, appendix of the 100 most significant German films, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on directors, actors, films, cinematographers, composers, producers, and major historical events that greatly affected the direction and development of German cinema. The book's broad canvas will lead students and scholars of cinema to appreciate the complex nature of German film. show more

Subchapter M
Coast Guard Suspends TSMS Inspection Fees
April 29, 2022 By Shelley Byrne
The Coast Guard will no longer charge inspection fees for towing vessels using the Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) option for documenting Subchapter M compliance.
The Coast Guard issued a marine safety information bulletin April 28 (MSIB 04-22) to inform the public of the change, which was effective as of March 15, 2022.
TSMS option vessel owners who have received an invoice for a period after March 15 should not remit payment to the Coast Guard Financial Center, according to the Coast Guard. Because the Coast Guard is currently updating its financial system to suspend the processing of user fees, TSMS option owners may receive a notification that the user fee payment is due, however. Further notice will be sent to correct any discrepancies, the Coast Guard said.
Any user fees that were due before March 15 remain the responsibility of the owner, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard said the change in policy is directed by Section 231 of the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2022 (fiscal year 22 Omnibus) signed into law on March 15. The omnibus prohibits the Coast Guard from charging the fees until the requirements of Section 815 of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115–282 (CGAA 2018), are met, including the update of TSMS option inspection user fees.
The Coast Guard has initiated a rulemaking to revise its inspection user fees for towing vessels regulated under 46 CFR Subchapter M. Under the proposed rule, vessels using the TSMS option would pay a lower fee than vessels using the Coast Guard inspection option. The Coast Guard published the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on January 11, and the comment period closed April 11.
Any questions regarding vessel inspection fee payment, billing, appeals and refunds should be sent to the U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center (FINCEN) via FIN-SMB-CustomerService@uscg.mil, or for more information owners may visit the website https://www.uscg.mil/fincen/VIF/.

Q: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data My laptop is not getting started, it's unable to boot Windows 7. It shows the following error:
File:  \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000014c
info: an error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

How can I boot my Windows?

A: Windows Boot Menu
First of all try to tap F8 when the computer is booting, untill you see the Windows boot menu and then select Use last known good configuration.
If Windows has worked before, then you might have a chance that this works.
BCD Repair
I don't think that you are that lucky, because it's the BCD which looks like being damaged. and since it is a very essential part of Windows, then it will require some sort of bootable Windows installation disk to repair.
Check out my answer here on how to make a bootable Windows 7 installation USB.
Repair Windows BCD - This will guide you through how to repair and hopefully getting your Windows 7 back to starting normally again.
Factory reset
A last thing you could try is a Factory reset.
This is will put your computer back to the state where you started the computer for the first time.
You can find a guide on how to do this on the manufacturer's website.

Dispute Resolution...
Dispute Resolution Mechanisms Under Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and Industrial Relations Code
Rashmi Bagri
Industrial Relations Code, 2020 states in its objectives that it aims to "minimize the friction between the employers and workers; provide provisions for investigation and settlement of Industrial Disputes and achieve industrial peace and harmony as the ultimate pursuit in resolving industrial disputes" and thus, this article aims to analyze the multiple institutions provided in both Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and its successor, Industrial Relations Code, 2020 to resolve industrial disputes and attain the objectives mentioned above.
There are several mechanisms and institutions provided in Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 to prevent disputes and resolve disagreements between workmen and employers. These include Works Committee (S.3), Board of Conciliation (S.5), Courts of Enquiry (S.6), Labour Courts (S.7), Tribunals (S.7A) and Voluntary Arbitration (S.10A).
The industrial relations Code is inclusive of most of the forums and methods mentioned above except Conciliation Board (although it includes conciliation officer), Labour Court and Court of Inquiry and adds Grievance Redressal Committee to the list.
Works Committee
It is included under S. 3 in both Industrial Disputes Act (ID Act), as well as Industrial Relations Code (IRC). Works Committee has to be formed by the appropriate government through a general or special order in establishments having more than 100 workmen and this remains same in both the Industrial Disputes Act and Industrial Relations Code. Why would the Code leave its existence to the will of the 'appropriate government' and not make having a works committee mandatory in all Industrial establishments, since its purpose is to 'promote measures for securing and preserving amity and good relations between employer and workers', is something that has not yet been established? In fact, in the words of the Second national commission on labour, the works committee has been utterly unsuccessful and the reason for its failure has been attributed to both its method of formation and the functions that have been assigned to it.
Regardless, if in case the appropriate government does decide to form a Works Committee, it shall have equal number of representatives of both the employer and the workmen and in no case, the representatives of workmen shall be less than the number of representatives of the employer, as per S.3 of both the ID Act, 1947 and IRC.
Grievance Redressal Committee
This committee was absent in the ID Act, 1947 although, via 2010 amendment, S.9C was added to the Code which provided for a similar mechanism (Grievance Settlement Authority). This section is only applicable in industrial establishments having fifty or more workmen and allows for only six members to be on this Grievance settlement authority. The chairperson membership is to rotate annually, alternatively between all committee members (once from representatives of employer and once from representatives of workmen). All proceedings of the committee have to be completed in a month and there is a provision of an appeal to the employer against the decision of grievance settlement authority and the employer have to dispose of the appeal within a month of receiving its receipt.
On the other hand, the Grievance Redressal Committee features in Chapter 2 of IRC in S.4. S.4 states that all establishments with 20 or more workmen must have a grievance redressal committee which shall have an equal number of representatives from the workmen and the employer's side. The total number of members on the grievance redressal committee shall not be more than 10 (as opposed to 6 in grievance settlement authority of ID Act, 1947) inclusive of proportional representation of women workers' representatives. On a rotational basis, the chairperson will be selected annually from committee members. Application regarding a dispute/grievance has to be filed within one year from the date from which cause of action arises and the grievance redressal committee has to try to complete its proceedings within thirty (30) days from the date it receives the receipt of such application. Although the committee's decision is based on a majority view, if more than 50% of members representing the workmen do not concede to the decision, then it shall be deemed that no decision has been arrived at. Furthermore, if the aggrieved worker is not satisfied with the decision of the Committee, he can file for conciliation with the conciliation officer through the trade union of which he is a member (as opposed to filing an appeal to an employer as given in 9C, ID Act, 1947), within sixty (60) days of being made aware of the decision of the Committee. If dissatisfied with this process also, the aggrieved worker may, on the expiry of forty-five (45) days of applying to the conciliation officer, may make an application directly to the Tribunal for adjudication of the dispute and the tribunal shall have powers under S.53 of IRC, 2020 to adjudicate upon it.
Conciliation officers have been defined under S.4 of the ID Act, 1947 and S.43 of IRC.
Under S.4 of ID Act, 1947, a conciliation officer is to be appointed by the appropriate government (central/state government) and is charged with the duty of mediating in and promoting the settlement of disputes. Furthermore, the appropriate government can provide conciliation officers for a specific area, industry and time period and the number of conciliation officers is not limited, which means that the appropriate government can provide for as many conciliation officers as it deems fit. Conciliation proceedings have to be completed expeditiously and in case the conciliation proceedings are not completed within a period of 45 days (from the date application was made) then under S.4(10), the concerned worker can file an application in the Industrial tribunal. S.12 of ID Act, 1947 provides for duties of conciliation officers and says that conciliation officer shall investigate the dispute without delay so that parties can come to a fair and amicable settlement although it has to be pointed out that conciliation officers do not have the authority to impose a solution upon the parties. And in case a dispute is not settled via conciliation, a copy describing the reasons for failure has to be sent to the parties to the dispute under S.12A. Another point to be noted is that when the conciliation proceedings are ongoing, all strikes and lockouts are prohibited under ID Act, 1947 (except if it's a public utility service industry, as per S.22, ID Act, 1947.)
While the definition of Conciliation officer, appointing authority and the purpose of appointment remains the same under S.43 of IRC as given in S.4 of ID Act, 1947, the conciliation officer is mandated not to hold any conciliation proceedings relating to an industrial dispute pertaining to strikes and lockouts, after two years from the date on which such dispute arose, as per S. 53 of IRC.
Furthermore, if a settlement has been arrived at, in conciliation proceedings, the conciliation officer will send, a report and the memorandum of settlement duly signed by the parties, to the appropriate government or any officer authorized on its behalf. And if a settlement is not arrived at, then the conciliation officer will send a full report describing the steps taken by him to resolve the dispute and the reasons for failure to arrive at a settlement, to the appropriate government and the concerned parties, within 45 days from the commencement of conciliation proceedings and if the matter pertained to strikes and lockouts under S.62 of IRC, then the report shall be sent within 14 days of the commencement of proceedings. The concerned party can, within 90 days of receiving the above-mentioned report, make an application to the Tribunal for settlement of a dispute.
Voluntary reference of disputes to arbitration
There are certain differences regarding this in ID Act, 1947 and IRC. Under S. 10A(1) of ID Act, 1947 dealing with voluntary reference of disputes to arbitration, an industrial dispute b/w an employer and workman can be referred to arbitration by a written agreement, any time before it has been referred to a Labour Court/Tribunal under S.10 of ID Act, 1947. While under S.42(1) of IRC, no such pre-condition exists and any dispute can be referred to arbitration via a written agreement.
If an arbitration agreement provides for an even number of arbitrators, the agreement shall provide for the appointment of another person as an umpire in case the arbitrators are divided in their opinion and the award of the umpire shall prevail. This provision has been the same in both ID Act, 1947 and IRC.
A copy of the arbitration agreement must also be forwarded to the appropriate government and the Conciliation Officer. But while ID Act, 1947, under S. 10A(3) mandates that the appropriate government shall publish this copy in the official gazette within one month of receipt of such copy, no such requirement has been put on appropriate government under S.42(3) of IRC.
When the dispute has been referred to arbitration and the appropriate government is satisfied that the persons making the reference represent a majority of each party, the arbitrator shall also give a chance to the workers and employers who are not parties to the agreement (but who are affected by the dispute), to represent their case. In this case, the appropriate government can prohibit the continuance of any strike/lockout in connection with the dispute in question, via a notification. However, while S.42(5) of IRC lists down who will be representing the worker/workers before the arbitrators, S.10A(3A) of ID Act, 1947 is silent on the same.
The arbitrator shall then investigate the dispute and submit the award to the appropriate government.
Industrial Tribunal
Industrial tribunals as a mode of dispute resolution for industrial disputes has been provided in detail both in S. 7A of ID Act, 1947 and S.44 of the IRC.
S.7A of ID Act says that appropriate government can constitute one or more tribunals for adjudication of industrial disputes relating to matters covered in the second and third schedule and for any other purpose which is assigned to them under ID Act, 1947. Tribunal shall have one person (only) appointed by the appropriate government, although if the appropriate government thinks it fit then it may also appoint two assessors to advise the Tribunal in the proceedings. Furthermore, only a person who is or has been a judge of a High Court or has been a district judge or additional district judge for three years can be appointed as the presiding officer of the tribunal. And as per S.7C of ID Act, 1947 and S.48 of IRC, the presiding officer must also be an independent person (not connected with the dispute or any industry affected by that dispute – as explained in S.48 of IRC) and must be less than 65 years of age. If not so, any person appointed to a tribunal or national tribunal who does not fulfil this criterion shall be disqualified from the tribunal.
S.44 of IRC is a much lengthier section and has certain features which were absent in S. 7A of the ID Act, 1947. S.44 says that appropriate government can constitute one or more tribunals for adjudication of industrial disputes and any other functions assigned to it under this Code. And if a tribunal is constituted by the Central government, it shall exercise all powers, authorities and jurisdiction conferred upon such tribunal via S.2(m) of Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
Under S.44(2), every industrial tribunal shall have two members (one judicial and one administrative) who will be appointed by the appropriate government. And a tribunal bench under S.44(3) will comprise either of two members mentioned above or a single judicial/administrative member. But if the tribunal bench consists of one judicial and one administrative member, then the judicial member will preside over the tribunal, as laid down in S.44(8). Additionally, the appropriate government may even provide for a such number of members and other staff as it thinks fit, for effective functioning of the tribunal, after consulting with the judicial member, as per S. 44(10).
Note - Under S.44(4), any person who has held a post below the rank of Joint Secretary to the Government of India or an equivalent rank in Central government or state government shall not be eligible to be appointed as an administrative member of the tribunal.
Furthermore, the method of recruitment, qualifications for appointment, terms of office, salaries and allowances, resignation, removal and other terms of conditions of service of the tribunal members of a tribunal constituted by the Central Government shall be in accordance with rules made under S.184 of Finance Act, 2017 while those of members of a tribunal constituted by a State government shall be prescribed by the State government.
To ensure objectivity and transparency in the performance of the tribunal members; salaries, allowances, terms and conditions of service of members of a tribunal appointed by the state government shall not be varied to their disadvantage.
The code also specifies the kind of cases that can be taken up by a tribunal bench consisting of a judicial and an administrative member under S.44(7) and says that such benches shall only entertain cases pertaining to
The application and interpretation of standing order
Discharge/dismissal of workmen including reinstatement of/grant of relief to workmen dismissed
Illegality or otherwise of a strike or lockout
Retrenchment of workmen and closure of an establishment
Trade union disputes
While the rest of the cases shall be taken up by a single member (either administrative or judicial) tribunal bench.
Furthermore, if for any reason, vacancy (other than a temporary absence) arises in a tribunal or a National Industrial Tribunal, then the proceedings shall continue from the stage at which that vacancy is filled.
National Industrial Tribunal
This has also been covered both in S.7B of ID Act, 1947 and S.46 of IRC, however, while S.7B of ID Act, 1947 is succinct and S.46 of IRC is comprehensive.
S.7B of ID Act, 1947 says that the Central Government may constitute one or more tribunals, via a notification in the official gazette for adjudication of industrial disputes which involve questions of national importance or disputes which will interest/affect more than one state. This National Tribunal shall only have one person (the presiding officer) who will be appointed by the Central government, although if the Central government deems fit, it may appoint two persons as assessors to advise the presiding officer. Further, only a person who is or has been a judge of a High Court shall be qualified to be appointed as the presiding officer.
S.46 of IRC although gives the same powers to the Central government to constitute one or more tribunals for adjudication of industrial disputes involving a question of national importance or affecting one or more states, the number of members on National Industrial Tribunal under IRC is two (2) instead of one (1) given under ID Act, 1947. So, under S.46(2) IRC, a National Industrial Tribunal shall consist of two members (one judicial and one administrative) who will be appointed by the Central government and a person is only qualified to be appointed as a judicial member if he is or has been a judge of a High Court. Even for appointment as an administrative member, the person either should be or must have been Secretary to the government of India or must hold an equivalent rank in Central government or state government, have adequate experience of handling labour-related matters.
Furthermore, although the National Industrial Tribunal will have two members, only the judicial member shall preside over the tribunal. And for the due discharge of functioning of the tribunal, the Central Government may, after consulting with the judicial member, provide such number of officers and staff as it thinks fit. Additionally, if the Central government believes that an industrial dispute involves a question of national importance or affects more than one state, it may refer such industrial dispute to a National Industrial Tribunal, as per S.54 of IRC, which deals with Reference to and functions of National Industrial Tribunal.
The decision of a tribunal (including National Industrial Tribunal) shall be arrived at by consensus of members and if the members, by chance, differ in opinion on any point, they shall refer the same to appropriate government and then the appropriate government shall appoint a judicial member from some other tribunal (inclusive of a National Industrial Tribunal) who will hear the case and then again the decision shall be decided by a majority of members on the Tribunal (which now includes an extra-judicial member). This provision does not find a place in ID Act, 1947 and has been provided in S.47 of IRC.
Furthermore, under S.45 of IRC, no notification of appropriate government regarding the appointment of a person as a judicial or administrative member of a tribunal shall be called in question. And no proceeding/act of the tribunal shall be questioned citing the existence of vacancies in the tribunal or defect in the Constitution of such Tribunal. S.9(1) of ID Act, 1947 essentially says the same as well but
ID Act, 1947 does not encompass having two members on a tribunal
S.9 also talks about the order of a Labour Court which has been done away with in IRC.
So, S.9 of ID Act, 1947 says that no order of appropriate government appointing any person as a chairman/member of a Board/Court or presiding officer of a Labour Court/Tribunal/National Tribunal shall be questioned and no act/proceeding of any Board/Court shall be questioned only on the ground of existence of a vacancy in or defect in the Constitution of such Board/Court. Furthermore, any settlement arrived at in conciliation proceedings, shall not be declared invalid just because the settlement was arrived at after the expiry of the period of 14 days given under S.12(6) or the two (2) month period given in S.13 of ID Act, 1947.
Procedure and Powers of arbitrators, conciliation officer, Tribunal and National Industrial Tribunal
S.49 of IRC discusses these. S.49(1) is about procedures to be followed and says that arbitrator, conciliation officer, tribunal or national industrial tribunal may follow such procedure as they deem fit, subject to the provisions of this Code and rules therein.
S.49(2) is about powers of the conciliation officer or any other officer authorized by a Tribunal (including a National Industrial Tribunal) to enter the premises occupied by the establishment related to the dispute for the purpose of inquiry into the dispute. But they can do so after giving reasonable notice to the owner/manager of the establishment. Furthermore, S.49(3) points out that Conciliation officer, tribunal, national industrial tribunal shall have the powers of a civil court under CPC vested in them when they are trying a suit
enforcing the attendance of any person and examining him on oath
compelling the production of documents and material objects
issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses
in respect of such other matters as may be prescribed.
And thus, it also follows that every inquiry or investigation by Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal shall be deemed to be a judicial proceeding within the meaning of S.193 and S.228 of the Indian Penal Code.
The power of a conciliation officer also includes enforcing the attendance of any person for the purpose of examination or to inspect any document relevant to an industrial dispute or any document necessary to verify the implementation of any award or to carry out any duty imposed on the conciliation officer under IRC and to do this, the conciliation officer has been vested with the powers of a civil court under CPC, 1908.
All conciliation officers and members of a tribunal or national Industrial tribunal (including assessors/experts appointed by the appropriate government to advise a tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal under S.49(5)) shall be deemed to be public servants under S.21 of the Indian Penal Code. And the tribunal and National industrial tribunal have also been given powers to determine by and to whom, to what extent and subject to what conditions the costs are to be paid and the person who is entitled to such costs may make an application to the appropriate government that may recover these costs in the same manner as an arrear of land revenue, as per S.49(7).
Furthermore, every tribunal or national industrial tribunal shall be deemed to be a civil court even for the purposes of S. 345, 346 and 348 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. And every award/settlement arrived at by the Tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal shall be executed in accordance with the procedure given for execution of orders and decree of a civil court under Order 21 of CPC.
S.11 of ID Act, 1947 talks about the same powers and procedures but is inclusive of labour court and a board of conciliation which have been omitted from the IRC.
Powers of Tribunal and National Industrial Tribunal to give appropriate relief in case of discharge or dismissal of a worker
This Section also finds a place in the ID Act, 1947 in the form of S.11A, however, as mentioned repeatedly, ID Act, 1947 is inclusive of Labour Courts while IRC has done away with them.
In IRC under S.50, if a tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal is satisfied that the order of discharge/dismissal/termination was not justified, it may set aside that order via an award and may direct reinstatement of the worker on such terms and conditions, as it thinks fit. Although not every dismissal will warrant reinstatement and it depends on circumstances of each case. It may also give such other relief to workers including the award of any lesser punishment instead of discharge/dismissal/termination as the circumstances of the case may require. Interim relief may also be provided if the tribunal deems fit although, to provide interim relief, the tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal shall only rely on the material on record and not take any fresh evidence into consideration.
An important Section under IRC is S.51 which deals with the transfer of pending cases and says that the cases pending in Labour Court/Tribunal constituted under ID Act, 1947 from before the commencement of Industrial Relations Code, shall be transferred to the Tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal having jurisdiction under IRC on the date of its commencement and shall be dealt with de novo or from the stage at which they were pending before such transfer.
Furthermore, S. 52 talks about adjustment of services of presiding officers under repealed Act and says that a presiding officer of a labour court/tribunal/national tribunal constituted under Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 who was holding that office immediately before the commencement of IRC and is qualified under IRC, shall be appointed as a Judicial Member of the Tribunal/National Industrial Tribunal and shall continue as such for the remaining period.
Form of Award, its communication and commencement
While this section has been broken down under three different sections in ID Act, 1947 (S.16, S.17 and S.17A), Under IRC, all these have been encompassed under a single section, S.55.
First looking at S.16, S.17 and S.17A of the ID Act, 1947: Regarding the form of report or award, the ID Act, 1947 says that the report of a Board/Court/Tribunal/National Tribunal shall be in writing, and in case of (conciliation)Board and Court, it shall be signed by all members and in case of Tribunal/National Tribunal, it shall be signed by the presiding officer and nothing shall prevent any member of board or court from recording any minute of dissent. Regarding publication, S.17 says that every report including the minute of dissent and every award shall be published by the appropriate government within 30 days of it receiving a receipt of such award, in the manner that it deems fit and subject to S.17A, the award shall be final and shall not be called into question. The award shall also become enforceable on the expiry of 30 days from the date of its publication. Although, if the appropriate government (in case of labour court/tribunal) and central government (in case of a national tribunal) is of the opinion that it will be unwise to give effect to the award, in whole or in part, on the public ground affecting the national economy or social justice, then the appropriate government or central government can declare, through a notification in the official gazette, that the award shall not become enforceable on the expiry of the said period of thirty days. Under S.17A (2), the appropriate government/central government can also make an order rejecting or modifying the award, within 90 days of publication of the award on the grounds mentioned above and shall lay this award together with a copy of an order in front of the state legislature (if order given by state government) or before Parliament, if the order has been made by Central government. Once the award has been laid before the state legislature or the Parliament, it shall become enforceable on the expiry of fifteen days from the date on which it is so laid.
S.55 of IRC is more simplified, yet comprehensive in its approach and says that the award of a tribunal and a National Industrial Tribunal shall be in writing and shall be signed electronically/otherwise by both Judicial and administrative members or by a member by whom the award is delivered, which shall then be communicated to parties concerned and the appropriate government and the award shall become enforceable on the expiry of 30 days from date of receipt of such communication. The rest of the points are exactly the same as provided in S.17A of the ID Act, 1947.
There is also a provision of payment of full wages to workers pending proceedings in higher courts in both ID Act, under S.17B and IRC under S. 56. This section remains the same in both the Act and the Code, except the fact that the ID Act, 1947 covers Labour Court and IRC does not.
Persons on whom settlements and awards are binding
This section also features in ID Act, 1947 under S.18 and in IRC under S.57.
Clause 1 of both articles says that a settlement arrived at by agreement between employer and worker (otherwise than through conciliation proceedings), then the award shall be binding on the parties to the agreement. While under Clause 3 of both articles, a settlement arrived at through conciliation proceedings, shall be binding on
all parties to the industrial dispute
all other parties summoned to appear in the proceedings as parties to the dispute
if the party referred above is an employer, then his heirs, successors etc.
if the party referred to in the first two points is composed of workers, then all persons employed in that establishment to which the dispute relates and who subsequently become a part of that establishment.

With the steady stream of controversies swirling around the White House, there has been little attention given a highly disturbing report that the Obama Administration engaged in previously undisclosed and violations of the Fourth Amendment. Just a few days from the 2016 election, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) reportedly raised a highly unusual alarm over the creation of "a very serious Fourth Amendment issue" by possibly unconstitutional surveillance conducted under President Barack Obama. If true, this should be given equal attention to the other stories crowding our front pages and cable coverage. The Obama Administration has a well-documented history of abuse of surveillance and stands as one of the most antagonistic administrations toward privacy in our history. Indeed, if true, many of the former Obama officials currently testifying against the Trump Administration were responsible for a far broader scope of abusive surveillance programs.
By any measure, this story deserves the attention of the national media and Congress. However, it is being buried in the crush of controversies related to the Russian investigation, embarrassing leaks, and other items. The media is correct in pursuing these legitimate stories but it should also give attention to this chilling report. There was equally limited coverage of the expansion of surveillance authority in the final days of the Obama Administration. Privacy advocates have serious concerns about these privacy stories being pushed from public review.
"Up until this opinion, I was generally willing to argue for the efficacy of the FISC (even while arguing the job could and should be devolved to district courts for more rigorous testing of the law). But not now. This opinion discredits the entire court.
This surveillance has been going on for years, long before Obama took office.
All Presidents since Reagan work for the MIC Overlords and do their bidding.
The press doesn't cover it because they do the governments bidding.
The story is just a distraction because everybody has known for years and nothing has ever been done about it.
Haha someone called Turley a Liberal!

Q: SWT composite ordering in layout I have a composite that contains two child composites

+---+---+
| 1 | 2 |
+---+---+

How can I change the order of these two composites when the user clicks a button?
Result should be:

+---+---+
| 2 | 1 |
+---+---+

Thanks
Simon

A: Control class has methods moveAbove() and moveBelow(), I think these two are doing exactly what you need

A: I think this answers your question: Change the order of element in RowLayout SWT Java
It basically says, that there is a z-order you can use to position your components.

A: Control.moveAbove() and Control.moveBelow() works for changing order of controls in Composite children(). Parent composite should be done re-layout to compute new bounds for children.
