Mills River hires interim town manager
By Bill Moss, Published: April 21, 2019
MILLS RIVER — The Mills River Town Council has hired a longtime Transylvania County administrator as interim town manager while it searches for a new manager.

Mark Burrows, who retired last September as Transylvania County's economic development director, will cover administrative work while the council looks for a replacement for Jeff Wells, who took a job as planning director for the town of Waxhaw in western Union County.
"We hired him as an interim manager and he's going be working about two days a week," Councilman Roger Snyder said. "We're thinking the search is going to take about three months. He's agreed to stay on for those three and maybe a little longer if he needs to."
Snyder said former Transylvania County Manager Artie Wilson suggested Burrows for the interim job.
"I recommended that we hire him," he said. "Also, he came down and talked to Jeff and Jeff also recommended him."
His planning background is helpful, too, Snyder said, given the town's rapid growth and demand for development permits. Wells did "99 percent" of the work on the 2019-20 budget before he left, Snyder said.
A graduate of Wake Forest University, Burrows has a master's degree in environmental management from Duke University. He was hired as Transylvania County's first planning director in 1990 and later led business recruitment efforts through the Transylvania Partnership and Economic Development Advisory Board. Burrows starts in Mills River this week.

Q: How to Partially removed JSON use intent putExtra on android recently , I use JSON parser
In my server showing text this.
[{"name":"AAA", "age":"111"},
 {"name":"BBB", "age":"222"},
 {"name":"CCC", "age":"333"}]

and I try JSON parser this text.  show listview.
String strData = "";
.
.
.
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(final String result) {
    super.onPostExecute(result);

    final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1);

    try {
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);

        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject object = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            data = object.getString("name") + "." + object.getString("age");
            adapter.add(data);
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

and this result in my phone.
AAA.111
-------
BBB.222
-------
CCC.333

Until right here
but I want when I list item button click data transport.
so I use intent.putExtra
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
         ListView listView =(ListView) parent;

         Intent intent = new Intent(this, anotherActivity.class);
         intent.putExtra("information", adapter.getItem(position));
         startActivity(intent);
      }
 });

this is success data transport.
but I don't want all data transport.
for example . I send only age data trasport.
In other words , showing my phone name data, age data.
     and transport another activity data.  only name data.
is it possible programmatically?
if you not understand. please advice for me.
thanks.
@update question
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
     ListView listView =(ListView) parent;

     String data =adapter.getItem(position);
     String[] parts = data.split(".");
     String name = parts[0];
     Log.d(TAG, name);  // not showing log..   not work ?..
     Intent intent = new Intent(this, anotherActivity.class);
     intent.putExtra("information", adapter.getItem(position));
     startActivity(intent);
  }

});

A: Try this before declaring your intent
String data = adapter.getItem(position);
String[] parts = data.split(".");
String name = parts[0];

and then:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, anotherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("information", name);
startActivity(intent);

Halve the peppers, remove the cores and slice them as thin as you can. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic. Zest and juice the lime.
Boil the water in a large saucepan over a high heat. Add the vegetable stock pot and stir to dissolve. Add the rice and star anise. Cover with a lid and lower to a medium heat. Leave to cook for 10 mins and then remove from the heat. Leave to one side for another 10 mins.
Meanwhile in a small bowl mix the mango chutney with the mustard seeds, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, a pinch of lime zest and the lime juice. Set aside.
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and toast the coconut until golden, 2-3 mins. Be careful not to burn it! Transfer to a bowl, wipe out the pan with some kitchen paper and return to a high heat with a splash of oil.
When the oil is hot stir-fry the peppers until softened and browned, about 5-7 mins. Add the prawns and curry leaves and cook for another 3- 4 mins. Remove from the heat and pour the dressing into the pan.
Remove the star anise from the rice and fluff it with a fork. Stir in half the coconut.
Divide the rice with two plates, spoon the stir fry on top, drizzle over any leftover dressing and finish with the remaining coconut.
Disclosure: I have been compensated for my time spent working with HelloFresh on this campaign but all thoughts and opinions are honest and are my own.
Tried your recipe for the sri lankan stir fry and it was very very good and surprisingly easy to do for such a lovely meal. Thank you.
Look like great dishes, colorfull and fresh! Thanks for sharing.

Tripura CM bats for tightening of drug laws
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said that since the change of government in Tripura, the number of cases has increased along with the number of arrests.
by Chandan Panday March 23, 2021 March 23, 2021
Representational
Agartala: The Tripura government will draw the attention of the Center to tighten the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act to make Tripura drug-free, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb assured in the Assembly here on Tuesday.
On the third day of the budget session in the Tripura Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister and Home Minister Biplab Kumar Deb stated this in response to a notice raised by MLA Sudip Roy Barman asking the Tripura government to draw the attention of the concerned ministries to make the NDPS Act more stringent to make Tripura drug-free.
Deb, in his response, said that after the formation of the new government in Tripura in 2018, the aim was to make the state "drug-free Tripura". On this basis, various anti-drug operations were intensified in Tripura, in which large quantities of illegal cannabis, phensedyl, tablets, heroin, etc. were seized and the accused persons, associates and drug traffickers were arrested in connection with the case.
"There was a lot of evidence that illegal trade in various drugs was rampant in the border areas of the state. Attempts were made to create a volatile environment in the society by spreading the drug among the people of all sections of the society including school and college students," Deb said.
He said that the government of Tripura began the proper implementation of the NDPS Act 1985 and the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988 which led to the identification and arrest and detention of illicit drug traffickers, collaborators and those who normally control the drug trade from behind the scenes.
The chief minister claimed that with the help of the State Police Narcotics Control Bureau to build a drug-free Tripura, they have been able to carry out many successful operations against drug traffickers who are dealing in illegal items like cannabis, phensedyl, tablets, heroin.
Moreover, another central agency, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), works against the smuggling of illegal drugs in the state. He said illegal drugs are a national joint venture between the DRI and the state police. Successful campaigns have been launched against the sale and smuggling.
The chief minister said that NDPS Act 1985 and the PIT NDPS Act 1988 are special laws and proper training of field level officers and supervisory level officers has been arranged in Tripura and outside Tripura with the help of the central agency for proper implementation of the provisions of this Act.
He claimed that the central government has also taken overall steps to control all narcotics.

"Seminars and training programs have been conducted in the presence of representatives from the Northeast, various Central Forces, neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and UN officials. It has found benefits in anti-drug activities," Deb added.
The Chief Minister also said that in December 2019, the Bureau of Narcotics Control held a seminar in Agartala in the presence of representatives from the centre and Northeast.
The seminar lauded the steps taken by the Tripura Police in enforcing Section 3 of the PIT NDPS Act 1988 against drug traffickers and confiscating property from those involved in drug trafficking.
Further seeking a counter-explanation from the chief minister, former health minister and BJP MLA, Sudip Roy Barman said that it was necessary to amend Section 21 (A) of the NDPS Act, 1975 and Section 11 of the PIT NDPS Act, 1988 because the law is not strict and the criminals are getting bail and continue their illegal business.
He said that Section 21 (a) and 27 of the NDPS Act 1985 disqualifies bail and section 11 of the PIT NDPS Act 1988 should provide 2 years imprisonment.
"It is necessary to amend the law by sending a proposal to the Center," Roy Barman added.
Roy Barman also stated that there is a special need to set up drug rehabilitation centres across Tripura to save the youth from the path of destruction.
In response to this, the chief minister said that since the change of government in Tripura, the number of cases has increased along with the number of arrests.
He claimed that in 2017, there were 83 cases of illegal drug trafficking and 65 people were arrested by the police. In comparison, after the change of government, a total of 433 cases were registered in 2018 and 660 people were arrested by the police.
The chief minister said that drugs were entering Tripura from neighbouring states and countries.
As a necessary step in this regard, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given a detailed speech at the recent meeting of the North-East Council.
"The goal is to make the North East drug-free by December 2022," Deb added.
He assured the assembly that the issue of tightening the law would be taken up by the Center. Besides, the Union Minister for Social Welfare has recently announced the setting up of a rehabilitation centre in Tripura.

1. Why can we want one?
The circular economy is touted as a practical strategy to the planet's rising aid crunch. Reserves of key assets along with uncommon earth metals and minerals are diminishing, whilst exploration and fabric extraction expenses are rising. The modern 'take-make-dispose' linear economy method outcomes in huge waste – consistent with Richard Girling's ebook garbage! posted in 2005, ninety% of the uncooked substances utilized in production end up waste before the product leaves the manufacturing unit whilst 80% of merchandise made get thrown away inside the first six months in their lifestyles. This, coupled with developing tensions around geopolitics and supply threat, are contributing to risky commodity prices. A circular economy could assist stabilise some of these troubles through decoupling monetary growth from aid consumption Global Amend.
at the same time as substituting secondary substances for number one materials can offer a part answer, recycling offers restrained enchantment as its tactics are strength-in depth and commonly downgrade materials, main to persevering with excessive demand for virgin substances. The circular economy goes past recycling as it is based totally round a restorative commercial gadget geared closer to designing out waste. This picture from the Ellen MacArthur foundation shows how recycling is an 'outer circle' of the circular financial system, requiring extra energy input than the 'inner circles' of restore, reuse and remanufacture. The aim is not just to layout for higher give up-of-existence recuperation, but to minimise strength use.
The notion of a circular economy turned into first touted in the Nineteen Seventies by way of environmental teachers John T Lyle and Walter Stahel, but only genuinely caught on when former sailor Dame Ellen MacArthur set up the Ellen MacArthur foundation in 2010 to champion the idea. because then, the muse has been extremely influential in making it resonate amongst global leaders, worldwide organizations and educational establishments. several celebrities have considering that lent their endorsement to the circular economy and its related cradle-to-cradle standards. Brad Pitt is a member of the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation's founding circle even as fellow actors Arnold Schwarzenegger, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and could.i.am are all vocal supporters.
The business case for a circular economy is compelling. analysis with the aid of McKinsey estimates transferring toward circularity could add $1 trillion to the global economy with the aid of 2025 and create a hundred,000 new jobs inside the subsequent 5 years. under the Waste & resources motion Programme's round economy 2020 vision, the ecu Union (ecu) ought to advantage from a progressed alternate stability of £ninety billion and the creation of a hundred and sixty,000 jobs. producers are maximum possibly to gain the blessings the quickest given their reliance on uncooked substances – McKinsey argues that a subset of the eu manufacturing sector could recognise internet substances fee savings well worth as much as $630 billion in keeping with annum by 2025.
floor-level innovation on this field is being pushed by using huge corporations who're piloting commercial enterprise fashions based totally on leasing, product performance, remanufacture, and extended lifecycle thinking. these agencies have the energy to impact exchange fastest, given their geographical attain via global deliver chains, and their efforts are probably to accelerate with the emergence of an enterprise-led platform for collaboration, the circular economy one hundred. whilst the round economy also is based on the involvement of SMEs, take-up on this sector stays restrained. The latest survey of almost three hundred small businesses throughout England, France and Belgium located nearly 50% had now not heard of the idea.
Scaling up a circular economy on an international degree will likely require authorities help. A co-ordinated approach by global leaders to introduce nice legislative drivers inclusive of waste prevention targets and incentives round eco-design to promote merchandise which can be easier to reuse, remanufacture and disassemble might be welcomed through many. a few countries are already starting to act – China has set up CACE, a government-backed affiliation to encourage round increase at the same time as Scotland has issued its personal circular economy blueprint. In an extraordinarily huge move the ecu fee's circular economy framework, released next month, is predicted to introduce better recycling targets and a landfill ban on recyclable materials across all 28 european member states.
Our dating with the goods and offerings we buy might be radicalised below a circular financial system. What if we failed to purchase the products we use, however rather favoured get right of entry to and performance over possession? The 'pay according to use' contractual agreements related to smartphones for example may be prolonged to traditional items along with washing machines, garments and DIY equipment. Philips, Kingfisher institution and mud denims are already piloting product-as-carrier fashions, which might see us end up customers in preference to purchasers. this kind of shift might no longer the simplest permit companies to keep product possession for simpler repair, reuse and remanufacture, however might result in producer duty duties being extended to users as part of the acquisition settlement.
Making the transition to a circular financial system could be complicated as it requires systems-level remodel and an urgent need for brand spanking new capabilities, now not just inside the STEM (technological know-how, era, Engineering, Maths) topics, however across the innovative disciplines of design, advertising and virtual. At a better stage, structures wondering and modelling is probable to return to the fore to help construct the proper frameworks and manual behaviour trade. On a greater realistic degree, educational outreach work with universities and secondary colleges is being undertaken with the aid of numerous businesses including the Ellen MacArthur basis and circular financial system Australia.
one of the high enablers might be disruptive innovation – wherein step forward era and layout will spark new circular fashions of trade, displacing current markets and creating new ones. corporations leading on this schedule are realising that they will either must disrupt their very own fashions from inside, or danger being disrupted. Questions are also being raised over highbrow belongings, disclosure agreements and opposition legal guidelines as companies collaborate to brainstorm and co-create. First mover gain can be luxurious, and the extent of perceived hazard may prove a stumbling block.
Weight-primarily based cloth float evaluation conducted in 2010 through Waste & resources movement Programme (WRAP) estimated that one-fifth of the United Kingdom financial system is already working in a round style. the 19% relates to weight of domestic cloth enter (six hundred million tonnes) getting into the economy in comparison with the quantity of cloth (a hundred and fifteen million tonnes) recycled. future projections by using WRAP predict this determine should upward thrust to nearly 27% by using 2020, if 137 million tonnes of cloth had been recycled from a lesser direct fabric enter of 510 million tonnes.

Lake Erie first lake to be granted same rights as a human
Jessie Higgins
The grass-roots organization Toledoans for Safe Water campaigned for the adoption of the Lake Erie Bill of Rights. Photo courtesy of Toledoans for Safe Water
Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Voters in Toledo, Ohio, have become the first in the nation to grant a lake the same rights as a human being.
The Lake Erie Bill of Rights passed a special election vote Tuesday, giving the fourth largest of the Great Lakes "the right to exist, flourish and naturally evolve."
The new law gives citizens of Toledo the right to sue any other person, farm or corporation violating the lake's rights -- such as a company, farm or government municipality that is polluting the lake.
By Wednesday morning, a nearby farm had filed suit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of the new law. The Drewes Farms Partnership claimed the bill puts its family farm at risk, creating liability if any fertilizer runoff from their farm enters Lake Erie.
RELATED Midwestern farmers working to reverse Gulf dead zone
The push to grant Lake Erie such rights began shortly after the Toledo Water Crisis in August 2014. At that time, toxic algae blooms in the lake, caused mainly by chemical fertilizer runoff from area farms, became so thick that Toledo's drinking water was unsafe. Neither boiling nor filtering would make the water safe, the city said.
The governor declared a state of emergency for the area. Businesses shut, hospitals rerouted patients and people scrambled to find bottled water.
"I was in labor during the water crisis," said Crystal Jankowski, one of the organizers of the Toledoans for Safe Water initiative, which pushed for the passage of the bill. "There was huge paranoia, I wasn't even allowed to touch the water. I don't want my kids to have to do what I'm doing now."
RELATED Union workers, environmentalists protest Ford, GM at Detroit Auto Show
The bill of rights offers a new legal framework for Toledoans to ensure their lake is safe, Jankowski said.
"We've had enough," she said. "We're going to make you follow the rules."
Opponents of the bill say it needlessly puts nearby farms and small businesses in danger of bankruptcy.
RELATED Toxic waste from most Illinois coal plants polluting groundwater, report shows
"Nothing is spelled out as to what constitutes harm," said Joe Cornely, a spokesman for the Ohio Farm Bureau. "This allows any citizen who feels a business, citizen or farm is harming the lake to sue. Farmers will have the constant threat of a lawsuit and financial penalties."
The lawsuit filed by the Drewes Farm alleges that the bill "exposes Drewes Farms to massive liability if Drewes Farms continues to fertilize its fields because it can never guarantee that all runoff will be prevented from entering the Lake Erie watershed. If Drewes Farms cannot fertilize its fields, it will be unable to survive economically. Drewes Farms soon must begin fertilizing its fields in March or April for this growing season."
That farm already is working to address chemical runoff from their fields, the suit alleges. Other farms are, as well, Cornely said.
Since the 2014 water crisis, the farming community has spent millions researching ways to reduce chemical fertilizer runoff, Cornely said. Research farms were established to determine best farming practices.
Those farms have devised several techniques that help. One is to plant cover crops, which are plants that grow in the field either over the winter or year-round. The roots from those plants help keep the soil in place, stopping the dirt and chemicals from being washed off the fields and into Lake Erie.
Cornely said he's not sure how many farmers are using cover crops -- or any of the other methods found to reduce runoff.
"There is a narrative that if we stop nutrients running off from the fields then Lake Erie will clean up," Cornely said. "And that is correct. But there is no magic bullet for stopping nutrients from running off fields. And as long as the way you describe a win is a quick fix, you're never going to win."

The Final Test: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Voyageurs Cup Final Preview
Can Toronto FC overcomes some setbacks and win their first Voyageurs Cup since 2012 today?

Share All sharing options for: The Final Test: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Voyageurs Cup Final Preview
With silverware on the line, today is the biggest game of Toronto FC's season so far. By the end of today, Toronto FC will either be standing under confetti at BC Place or answering even more questions about a season that is slowly going off the rails.
If the Vancouver Whitecaps overcome a 1-0 deficit on aggregate, Toronto FC will leave the west coast empty-handed, and out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. For a club that expected to be a contender in all competitions this season, that would be a sobering spot to be in as the season nears the midway point.
On the other hand, however, confetti and champagne can cure a lot in sports. A Voyageurs Cup victory would buy Toronto FC some more time to figure things out in a season that hasn't been kind to them so far. It would give the team something to point to as an accomplishment, and be a much-need midseason boost in morale.
This past Saturday's game against Orlando City SC was the culmination of everything that has plagued Toronto FC so far this season. They got off to a slow start, allowing Orlando to get an early goal and forcing them to fight back for the duration of the 90 minutes. When they eventually did, their hopes at a crucial away point were ended by a poor refereeing decision.
To make matters worse, they suffered yet another crucial injury, and will be without goalkeeper Clint Irwin for six weeks as a result of a quad strain. In his place goalkeepers Alex Bono and Quillan Roberts, who have played 20 minutes of MLS play between them, will be forced to carry the team forward.
One of them could be a hero by the end of today, provided they help the club hoist the Voyageurs Cup trophy when all is said and done. At the other end of the spectrum, this is a high-pressure game in which to make a first ever start. Bono didn't necessarily deal well with the pressure on Saturday while playing only 20 minutes of MLS action.
Toronto's injury issues don't stop there, however. Captain Michael Bradley will not be with Toronto FC for this match after suffering a knee injury at the Copa America. Steven Beitashour's status remains up in the air after the right back sat out the Orlando game.
Once again, it will be a cast of unproven characters that will need to get the job done against the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight. It has worked well for Toronto FC in this competition so far, after all, who could have seen Jordan Hamilton scoring two goals in his first ever start with the senior team? That resulted in a 4-2 victory at BMO Field against the Montreal Impact in the semi-finals and is the reason Toronto FC remains in the tournament.
All that's left in the tournament now is 90 minutes, with Toronto FC clinging on to a 1-0 advantage. This match will be Toronto FC's biggest test of the season. Should they pass, it would go a long way toward proving that hope remains in these trying times.

Equality of women and men in local life
Equality - 04.06.2018
CEMR presents its conference on equality, diversity and inclusion in Bilbao
Equality, diversity and inclusion can be translated from words into concrete action for all the women, men and children of Europe's towns and regions. This is the objective of the CEMR conference on "Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Differences unite us!", to be held in Bilbao, from 11 to 13 June.
Today, the Mayor of Bilbao, Juan Mari Aburto, the president of the Association of Basque Municipalities (EUDEL), Imanol Landa, and CEMR Secretary General, Frédéric Vallier, outlined the goals and the sessions programme of the event, during a press conference in the Basque city.
As he presented the conference, CEMR Secretary General, Frédéric Vallier explained that "CEMR plays a leading role on equality, diversity and inclusion. Through its Charter for Equality of Women and Men, over 1700 towns and regions have committed to achieving fairer societies. But just as the headlines remind us, a long road lies ahead to achieve societies in which all citizens, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or disability, are truly equal."
In this regard, Frédéric Vallier highlighted the goal of the conference: "With this conference we want to ensure that human rights are at the core of local policies in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The world is changing. Let's make this change worth it for our citizens".
The Mayor of Bilbao, Juan Mari Aburto, explained that holding the event in Bilbao was "an opportunity to continue positioning ourselves internationally as the solidarity-based, cohesive, committed and open city that we are and which we increasingly aspire to be. Differences enrich us, make us better, stronger. It is important to be committed to diversity and manage it. Not only at institutional level and in civil society, but also in the business world. The most diverse companies, socially responsible companies are also the most competitive and those that generate greater value".
Mr. Aburto also stressed that "equality, diversity and inclusion are essential values for European municipalities and regions to create together a better and fairer, more inclusive and human Europe. This is just what we want in Bilbao: to continue developing the necessary values and instruments to help to build a better society."
Talking on behalf of Basque municipalities, the President of EUDEL and Mayor of Getxo, Imanol Landa, pointed out that "the 2018 Bilbao Conference will be an opportunity for European municipalities to share our experiences and best practices, and we can extract innovative ideas to set together the course for the equality, inclusion and diversity policies, with common criteria throughout Europe".
Mr. Landa also highlighted the important role of the association of municipalities in that regard "as key players to facilitate the network and to search for joint solutions between municipalities, which from their diverse local reality, share the goal of advancing the wellbeing and the quality of life of all citizens".
The three co-organisers aim to organise an inspiring and informative international conference that brings together a heterogeneous and broad representation of European municipalities.
To date, more than 500 participants from over 40 European countries and other parts of the world have registered: from regional and local elected representatives, to European and national representatives, as well as people from academia and civil society working in the areas covered by the conference.
Municipalities and regions have the capacity to generate and host the transformation of the social processes. They are at the heart of the behavioural, social and demographic changes and are emerging, now more than ever, as spaces to drive creativity and opportunity.
The conference will showcase the actions that local governments are implementing in the fields of equality, inclusion and diversity, and how they can be "cross-linked" to contribute to well-being and quality of life for everyone.

There might be some good ice fishing out there given the frosty winter weather, but safety is more important than a good fish.
•-Signs of unsafe ice include different colors, water on top of the ice, cracks, bubbles and open water. Also be careful of ice covered with snow.
• Never go alone, and never attempt to rescue someone else who has fallen in, as you might fall in as well. Call for help instead and use the reach-throw-go technique, meaning if you can't reach, throw a flotation device, and if you can't reach your friend that way, go for help.
• Wear a life jacket over your winter clothing.
• Wear a safety kit. Kits should include an ice pick, rope and whistle.
• Keep your pets on a leash.
• If you do fall through, don't panic. Try to get your arms onto the ice and roll to safety, and if you can't get out, don't swim and keep your upper body above water.


Projects never go as expected. With bumps and curves along the way and a pothole here and there. Together with the client we head for the finish. But when things start to come together you get that great feeling. And that is very special; it's why we get up in the morning. Goal oriented and inventive. Knowing when and where to leave the trodden path. We do this with a team of dedicated specialists. We work with large, renowned clients. We do this with the assertiveness and personality fitting a fast growing, entrepreneurial small company. Clear communication: doing what we say and saying what we do. The "Grabowsky way" is best described as: inquisitive, looking for a challenge and not afraid to start a discussion. Because as a guide in the world of Identity Driven Security we are expected to find new and better routes.
