I've been running for as long as I've struggled with mental health; not to reach a particular target (other than getting fighting fit) but to find space and relative peace. Running induces a suggestible state of mind – I have no science for this other than my own experience – and listening to some good jams whilst watching the surroundings swim into a blur can help to get me into/out of a certain frame of mind. It's not so much about running away from problems, as running into them (although, getting away can be really great, too!).
Generally, my running playlists are grouped into different moods and genres (sometimes I really need electro-clash), but this playlist channels the inspirational – dramatic build-ups and motivational lyrics, for Running Up That Hill or getting into the Fast Lane. Whatever you're jogging to, make it Harder Better Faster Stronger.

IT leaders are over-stressed and under-prepared for ransomware attacks – ResponseSource
Stress levels are rising, investment is too low, IT leaders feel they don't get the executive support they need.
86% of leaders reveal ransomware causes workplace stress, while 53% would rather pay a ransom than invest in defending against it
London, UK – Osirium's 2021 Ransomware Index survey has revealed that 53% of its 1001 UK IT manager respondents don't believe they invest enough to prevent ransomware attacks, whilst a similar number (52%) don't feel supported to do so by their company's board. With less than 10% believing that they can prevent a future ransomware attack, it is little wonder that stress levels are so high for these IT leaders.
The survey findings raise concerns about UK IT teams' ability to properly manage potential ransomware attacks, of which their likelihood of becoming a victim is increasing rapidly. Of those surveyed, only 21% claimed they had never been attacked. Perhaps more surprisingly, 53% of respondents agreed with the statement: "It would be cheaper to pay the ransom demand than continuously invest in preventing ransomware".
More than half of the survey respondents also claimed that they do not have sufficient budget/resources to cope with the constantly evolving threat landscape, which makes the research finding, that many feel the only way to deal with the problem is to pay, even more impactful.
The stress to UK IT managers, caused by the spectre of Ransomware, is an increasingly significant downside to an already difficult job. 86% of the IT managers surveyed said they feel stressed about the prospects of a ransomware attack, with 22% saying it more than doubled their stress levels.
David Guyatt, Founder and CEO of Osirium said: "This situation is unsustainable, and it is likely only a matter of time until many of these ill-prepared businesses fall victim to a ransomware attack. The cost of paying a ransom is merely the tip of the iceberg. Add in the real and virtual costs, such as reputational damage, regulatory fines and lost business through downtime, and it is hard to justify not having robust malware and ransomware protection in place."
Guyatt's comments are further substantiated by the Osirium report finding: 19% considered reputational damage to be a major concern, with 24% concerned about downtime and 28% citing data protection worries.
"Right now, many businesses are deep into the planning process as they prepare for 2022 and beyond," added Guyatt. "This will be a pivotal moment for UK business leaders, and those who neglect to prioritise their ransomware defence and remediation systems may just as well paint a target on their back. Failure to prepare, and the associated stress on the IT department, could easily also result in individuals experiencing major burnout, the impacts of which will only lead to further security challenges."

What is Geoconquesting? You Should Be Geofencing Your Competition.
Mobile location targeting via geofencing has become a hot topic in the advertising & marketing world. The term Geoconquesting means to target customers that are near the competition and to try to pull them away with a message in real time based on their location. The process of geoconquesting starts by set up a geofence (a virtual perimeter) around your top competitors location or locations. Then strategically plan days and times to target along with what your message will say. Decide if your message should be a general message like a banner in mobile applications to a general audience or if would you like to send a more customized message with a real time savings alert. Whether you are geoconquesting potentially customers or loyal customers who shop at your competitors locations your message will vary.
If you currently use mobile marketing strategies and your company would like to introduce geofencing into your marketing plan it can be as simple as getting a second opt-in from your customers. Once your most loyal customers have opted-into recieving deals and alerts based on their location geoconquesting can begin. A example of a geoconquesting alert situation could be the following – A loyal customer who frequently shops for shoes at your shoe store has opted-in to your location based messaging services (from Thumbvista of course) so you have set up a geofence around your top competition and set up a message schedule for a Wednesday evening typically a slower day that really needs a lift in sales. You loyal customer enters within the geofence and you trigger your real time text message stating something like this – "ABC Shoes: Are you shoe shopping? If so come by our store in the next 30 min & receive 30% off or 15% off if you get here before close. Show MSG. Exp. 9/26" With that text message it has everything needed for a successful geofencing and geoconquesting campaign, there is relevance with subject and timing along with a proactive incentive to come towards your location as soon as possible.

Q: How to add Scroll Pane into tabs I have this simple example of JavaFX tabs
primaryStage.setTitle("Tabs Test");
        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 500, Color.WHITE);

        TabPane tabPane = new TabPane();
        BorderPane mainPane = new BorderPane();

        //Create Tabs
        Tab tabA = new Tab();
        tabA.setText("Main Component");
        //Add something in Tab
        StackPane tabA_stack = new StackPane();
        tabA_stack.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        tabA_stack.getChildren().add(new Label("Label@Tab B"));
        tabA.setContent(tabA_stack);
        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabA);

        Tab tabB = new Tab();
        tabB.setText("Second Component");
        //Add something in Tab
        StackPane tabB_stack = new StackPane();
        tabB_stack.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        tabB_stack.getChildren().add(new Label("Label@Tab B"));
        tabB.setContent(tabB_stack);
        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabB);

        Tab tabC = new Tab();
        tabC.setText("Last Component");
        //Add something in Tab
        StackPane tabC_vBox = new StackPane();
        tabC_vBox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        tabC_vBox.getChildren().add(new Label("Label@Tab C"));
        tabC.setContent(tabC_vBox);
        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);

        mainPane.setCenter(tabPane);

        mainPane.prefHeightProperty().bind(scene.heightProperty());
        mainPane.prefWidthProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty());

        root.getChildren().add(mainPane);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();

How I can add horizontal and vertical scroll Pane into the tab's body. I want to display the scroll pane only when the data is bigger than the visible area. Is this possible?

A: Instead of setting contents of tabs to StackPane, call setContent method with ScrollPane object, and set the content of this ScrollPane to the corresponding StackPane.

A: Creating a basic javafx.scene.control.ScrollPane is easy, an example can be found in the JavaDoc. Here's the code that places a ScrollPane in your first Tab:
        ...
        final Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(200, 200, 800, 600);
        rect.setFill(Color.RED);
        final ScrollPane scrollPane = new ScrollPane();
        scrollPane.setContent(rect);
        tabA.setContent(scrollPane);
        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabA);
        ...

You can find a lot of useful examples in the JavaFX tutorials, too.

[…] But it is more interesting to see from a wider perspective how Wyeth and Malick share an important socio-cultural position. Both men straddle the artificial division between 'High Art' and 'popular / commercial' culture. Wyeth merits display in such an august artistic institution as the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Yet his work has been dismissed by some critics as "sentimental", "mere illustration", "emotional", "formulaic stuff". Wyeth was known as the "Painter of the People," due to his work's popularity with the public.


Baptist Children's Homes laid off 12 employees Nov. 20 and eliminated seven other positions in response to budget shortfalls.
President Michael C. Blackwell said BCH also will close Noel Home in Lenoir and transfer those residents to Mills Home in Thomasville. A partnership with Haywood County to staff an emergency cottage is winding down by mutual agreement.
"Decreases in donations from individuals, fewer Cooperative Program dollars and corporate grants, massive losses from investments, enormous decreases in payment for services from public agencies and minimal income from private placements," led to the budget crunch, Blackwell said.
Blackwell reported that no child in care was displaced from care.
BCH's $19 million budget anticipates $818,000 in investment revenue, a target likely to fall short in a dropping market. The need to utilize reserves diminishes earning power of those reserves in the future.
BCH is North Carolina Baptists' statewide ministry to children and families. With four residential campuses and service sites in 10 other communities across the state, BCH served 1,465 children in residential care, developmentally disabled adult ministry and in daycare and after school services.
BCH's recent announcement that it would develop a girl's wilderness camp remains on track, funded by gifts already in hand specifically for that purpose. A three-year commitment for operating funds already is in place, as well.
BCH has approximately 300 staff members. All service areas were affected by the layoffs, Blackwell said.
We have long supported BCH and have always considered it to be one of the more effective ministries of Southern Baptists. I would like to know what the "massive losses from investments" are. I am somewhat troubled that a Christian ministry is relying on investments in some thing(??). Can someone tell me what those investments are?

Hanson, Spice Girls and everything '90s #MusicMonday
So last week found me at the intersection of 2002 Street and Memory Lane. This week finds me on the 1990s block. For some unbeknownst reason, I had a hankering to listen to Hanson this past week. And then that eventually turned into "let's listen to the Spice Girls!"
Isn't it funny how sometimes the biggest, most indelible marks on history (or popular culture) are also sometimes some of the most short-lived? Compared to other pop acts who've stuck around, the Spice Girls were a relative flash-in-the-pan, enjoying popularity for only about four years before taking a semi-permanent hiatus in 2000. In the U.S., they were gone almost as soon as they came, with "Wannabe" debuting in January 1997 and their last major American hit ("Goodbye") coming at the end of 1998. Four years seemed like an eternity then, but would you believe that it's been about six years since Beyoncé's "Single Ladies"?
If I recall correctly, Hanson and the Spice Girls hit American radio at about the same time, with Hanson perhaps trailing by a handful of months. The Backstreet Boys followed soon thereafter (and the whole "Baby Boomers' Babies" phenomenon referenced in the above photo of a 1997 New York Times article), but for some reason, I was having none of it with the boys. I bought into the Spice Girls thing -- not tremendously so, as even 12-year-old me thought the whole "Girl Power" thing was a gimmick -- but I had the baby doll dresses, platform shoes, Spice Girls Chupa Chups and complimentary collectible stickers. And for the most part, I loved their music, even after they were long gone. "2 Become 1" (my first slow dance, and dirty -- I wonder what we thought they meant by "tonight is the night when two become one"), "Stop," "Too Much" and "Goodbye" were my favorite singles, but their final and largely unnoticed album had a handful of what I consider their greatest songs.
I wasn't a fan of Hanson back then, and I'm still not a fan of their earlier stuff. But by the time "This Time Around" rolled around in 2000 and all members had hit puberty, I found myself really enjoying their music. I think to those who have paid any attention to them after the end of the '90s pop era would have by now realized that they are more than just a bunch of whiny girly-looking guys doing bubblegum pop. I dig it, and I admire how they've managed to escape the immense negativity of their early days unscathed.
By the way, I've been listening to the "'90s Pop" station on Pandora all weekend, and I have to warn you: Pandora thinks Alanis Morissette, Sugar Ray and the Backstreet Boys were the dominating artists of '90s pop, and that the only single Destiny's Child ever put out in the '90s was "Jumpin' Jumpin'".

Brainwashed - Barren Harvest, "Subtle Cruelties"
As a genre or style, neofolk has always been more miss than hit for me. I am a huge fan of the early through mid period Death in June, Sol Invictus, and a few others, but too often it comes across like low rent Leonard Cohen with a questionable sense of nationalism. The debut from Barren Harvest, featuring members of Worm Ouroboros and Atriarch, does not fall into this trap by any means. With balanced implementation male and female vocals and a tasteful use of keyboards with the acoustic instruments, the album is somewhere between Nada! era DIJ and the stronger moments of mid-period Swans, while still retaining its own identity.
The Swans reference is most apparent when it comes to the vocals, with Lenny Smith (Atriarch) and Jessica Way (Worm Ouroboros) bearing a passing resemblance to Gira and Jarboe's work at the White Light From the Mouth of Infinity/Love of Life era of the band. While I realize this is a contentious time in that band's history, the high points on those albums were no less powerful than their other work. Like those records, both Smith and Way have that macabre, morbid quality to their voices that fits the music perfectly.
The bulk of the songs on Subtle Cruelties mesh low end synth strings with passages of gentle acoustic guitar, such as on the opener "The Bleeding." On "Claw and Feather," the sound slowly builds from these two components into a richer, more complicated mix that hits just the right level of dramatic without going over the edge. On songs like "Heavens Age," the duo emphasize guitar, with Smith's vocals channeling Nick Cave and Peter Murphy equally to give a wonderfully morose early death rock feel before Way's somber voice kicks in to give a different feel.
"Memoriam II" is a case in which the electronic elements become the focus, with the electronics conjuring wonderfully bleak moods, and with the dramatic swells and vocals. It sounds as if it could have been recorded in 1981 at the height of post-punk. "Memoriam VI" is also built more on the electronic atmosphere, with the lighter synths offsetting the darker, more desolate singing.
The greatest moments are where the two are nicely balanced, such as on "Coil Uncoil" where gentle acoustic guitar is first paired with Smith's graven vocals, then lightened up by Way's while everything retains just the right amount of rough hewn sound and dissonance. The album's centerpiece is the long "Reveal," in which the duo initially emphasizes atmospheric electronics and echoing autoharp, mixed with rich, multitracked vocals from both. Slowly piano and electronics are introduced to the mix, building in depth and complexity to become the most complex and powerful piece here.
These dualities are what define Subtle Cruelties: male versus female vocals, organic guitar and synthetic keyboards, and a clashing sense of light and dark. The sound of the record conveys this as well, being both vintage in feel but modern in its approach. Even in the titling of the project and record captures the dichotomy of nature: cruel but indifferent. The album's vinyl release also deserves special mention, because in addition to the more conventional black and gold versions, a limited clear vinyl pressing is also available, with actual autumnal leaves encased in the record itself, something I have never seen done before personally. It makes for a unique presentation for an extremely singular, albeit bleak piece of music that has already made my short list for top records of 2014.

Finn Balor believes a Bullet Club reunion will be a step backwards
By Anutosh Bajpai - July 13, 2017
When first Finn Balor and then Gallows and Anderson made their WWE debuts, many people hoped that we'll get to see them forming a faction similar to Bullet Club sometime in future.
While we did get a 'club' reunion when AJ Styles joined the duo, it wasn't exactly what people were expecting and many still hope to see the club getting united under its original leader Finn.
However, Balor himself does not appear to be in the favour of forming the faction. During his recent interview with Sports Illustrate, the former Universal Champion was asked about a Club reunion to which he said that it will be a step backwards:
"You know, for us as a group, especially myself and Karl, you know, two of the original members, that was you know, very, it was very much like a moment in time, You know, to kind of like reform that now would be kind of like regressing like in our careers"
When asked if we can see the NJPW World Champion Kazuchika Okada in WWE anytime soon the former NXT Champion said this:
"I don't know about anytime soon. Possibly, you know, in the distant future, I'm sure, you know, as you say, anything can happen. And nobody thought Finn Balor would be in the WWE. Here I am."
Apart from this Finn Balor also said that Okada was just visiting his friends backstage at recent WWE shows and it didn't mean anything for his future.

I think it would be a step forward, especially since Balor isn't used much since returning and Karl/Anderson have randomly become jobbers.
Sparti Love
Considering he hasn't done anything since he's returned from injury, it would be a step forward and likely put him back in the title picture
If they were properly utilized it'd be a different story but as of right now without any story behind it, it would be as pointless as breaking up Enzo & Cass.

Comandante Che
Guerrilla Soldier, Commander, and Strategist, 1956–1967
Paul J. Dosal
16 b&w illustrations/13 maps
"This is a solid, realistic study of a man, not an icon. As the title suggests, Paul Dosal portrays the complete Che Guevara, but, above all, he is unsurpassed in revealing Che the guerrilla soldier—the grunt, the guy in the mud, facing death and killing ruthlessly." —Charles Ameringer, Penn State University
The victory of Fidel Castro's rebel army in Cuba was due in no small part to the training, strategy, and leadership provided by Ernesto Che Guevara. Despite the deluge of biographies, memoirs, and documentaries that appeared in 1997 on the thirtieth anniversary of Guevara's death, his military career remains shrouded in mystery. Comandante Che is the first book designed specifically to provide an objective evaluation of Guevara's record as a guerrilla soldier, commander, and strategist from his first skirmish in Cuba to his defeat in Bolivia eleven years later.
Using new evidence from Guevara's previously unpublished campaign diaries and declassified CIA documents, Paul Dosal reassesses Guevara's impact as a guerrilla warrior and theorist, comparing his accomplishments with those of other guerrilla leaders with whom he has been ranked, including Colonel T. E. Lawrence, Mao Tse-Tung, and General Vo Nguyen Giap.
This reassessment reveals that Guevara was often underrated as a conventional military strategist, overrated as a guerrilla commander, and misrepresented as a guerrilla theorist. Guevara achieved his greatest military victory by applying a conventional military strategy in the final stages of the Cuban Revolution, orchestrating the defensive campaign that held off the Cuban army in the summer of 1958. As a guerrilla commander, he scored impressive victories in ambush after ambush in Bolivia, but in winning the battles he lost the war. He violated most of his own precepts during the Bolivian campaign, compelling analysts to question the validity of both his strategies and his command skills.
Though he is credited with developing foco theory, Guevara never attempted to advance a new theory of guerrilla warfare. He was a fighter, not a theorist. He wanted to defeat American imperialism by launching guerrilla campaigns simultaneously in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, but his tricontinental strategy resulted in failures first in the Congo and then in Bolivia. Comandante Che presents the full record of Guevara's successes and failures, separating myth from reality about one of the twentieth century's most controversial revolutionary figures.
"This outstanding work is the first comprehensive, objective, and truly professional study of the contribution of Che Guevara to the theory and practice of revolutionary guerrilla warfare in the twentieth century. It is based on a thorough and careful reading of the relevant primary sources—principally, Che's voluminous campaign diaries, along with recently declassified CIA documents on his operations in the Congo and Bolivia." —Neill Macaulay, University of Florida
"He [Dosal] does not pretend to deal with Guevara's personal life or his career as a bureaucrat in Cuba, but despite those deliberate omissions, if one could read only a single book about Guevara, this would not be a bad choice." —Henry Butterfield Ryan, The Americas
"This is an interesting and clearly-written study of Che the soldier and strategist, intended 'for both scholars and the general public.'" —British Bulletin of Publications
"Comandante Che reflects years of richly detailed research; it attempts to address virtually every major controversy over Che's relationship with Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, the Cuban Communist Party, various Latin American parties and guerrilla movements, and the Soviet and Chinese leaderships whose ideological disputes framed Guevara's commitment to global armed struggle against the United States, imperialism and capitalism." —Brian Loveman, HAHR
Paul J. Dosal is Professor of History at the University of South Florida.

In October 1992, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Che Guevara's death, I started to research the life of Ernesto Che Guevara. Although there were dozens of books and articles about Che, I realized that I knew little about the life and career of this important figure. The definitive biography of the legendary guerrilla had not yet been written. I initially set out to write the life history of Che Guevara, hoping that I would have the honor of writing the first scholarly biography of Che. That honor fell on others more capable than myself. Four comprehensive biographies of Che Guevara appeared in 1997, the thirtieth anniversary of his death. They covered Che better than I could have done, and the many citations to their work in this book show how much I owe to their impressive work.
About two years after commemorative activities ceased, I reopened my Che files and began to think about what I might do with all the data I had accumulated about Che. I had already read every speech, article, book, letter, and diary written by him. I had read just about everything ever written about him as well. I wanted to make a contribution to the growing literature about Che Guevara, but I was not sure what I could add. Finally, after liberating my repressed interest in military history, I decided to change the project from a comprehensive biography to a study of Che's career as a soldier, commander, and strategist.
I was originally trained as a political-economic historian at Tulane University under Dr. Ralph Lee Woodward Jr., focusing on Central American history. In writing about Che's military career, I have broadened the boundaries of my geographical and topical interests. I taught myself basic military history by reading extensively on the U.S. Civil War and World War II. I have come to admire the technical expertise and narrative skills of writers and historians such as Shelby Foote and Stephen Ambrose, both of whom demonstrated that military history is a viable, exciting, and important field of inquiry.
Yet this book is more than a military history. Fighting and winning a guerrilla campaign is not simply a question of devising the proper strategy, applying the right tactics, or selecting the appropriate weapon. The object of the guerrilla is not so much to win a military engagement as to avoid losing it. Guerrilla warfare, as Che fought and taught it, is a political and social struggle as well as a military conflict. If political factors do not favor the guerrillas, they will lose, as Che discovered in Bolivia. Ambushes, battles, and skirmishes figure prominently in the following account, but the analysis does not start and end with them. To assess Guevara's career as a guerrilla soldier, commander, and strategist, one must analyze it in its proper political context, examining Che's ideological development; his personal relations with Fidel Castro; and even Soviet, Chinese, and American policies toward the Cuban Revolution and Latin America.
The life of a guerrilla is filled with long moments of inactivity, broken occasionally by the forced night march or the surprise attack. During the many pauses in his guerrilla campaigns, Che read and wrote extensively. His complete works, constituting more than nine volumes, form the primary source of information for this study. He kept campaign diaries wherever he fought, and most of these have been published and translated. Parts of his diaries have been censored, and more documents are locked away in Cuban archives, but the available literature, including a rich vein of memoirs written by people who fought for and against Che, forms a solid foundation for the study of Che Guevara's military career.
Che Guevara remains a well-known figure, whether adored or reviled, to millions around the world. The thirtieth anniversary of his death, highlighted by the discovery of his unmarked Bolivian grave and the transfer of his remains to Cuba, demonstrated the remarkable durability of his image and his message. I have tried not to get caught up in the Che mania that swept the world five years ago. Students, colleagues, and friends who knew of my research on Che gave me Che posters, shirts, socks, and underwear, thinking that I would appreciate such gifts. I usually gave those items away, preferring to keep just a few images of Che in my office to remind myself that he was a real man who influenced the lives of millions, for better or worse. He killed for a cause; he ordered people to kill for that cause; he advocated war to the death against imperialism; and he died for his principles. His life and death is in many ways a modern tragedy, not a cause for celebration. We must study who he was, why he fought, why he died, and why so many followed him into battle. I have tried to analyze his career as objectively as possible, sorting myth from reality in an effort to assess Guevara's actual impact on twentieth-century military history.
My research on Che has taken me to Washington, D.C.; Austin, Texas; Havana; Buenos Aires; and Córdoba. A Research and Creative Scholarship Grant from the University of South Florida and a Faculty Research Grant from the University of Massachusetts allowed me to complete my research.
I have received generous assistance and encouragement along the way. Ann Shuh was with me from the start to the finish of the project, sharing my frustrations. Her careful reading of the manuscript showed that she also shared my ambitions. John Belohlavek, my friend and colleague from the University of South Florida, reviewed the manuscript and offered his military expertise. I thank him for his assistance and the many happy hours we spent together talking about the Civil War. I also want to thank Mike Conniff, a wonderful friend and supportive colleague, for all the encouragement he has offered. Neill Macaulay and Charles Ameringer offered perceptive and constructive critiques of the manuscript as well. I hope that I have addressed their questions and concerns in this final product.
A number of friends and colleagues in Cuba have helped me. Marel García shared her expertise and put me in contact with some of Che's closest associates. I also want to thank Miriam Rodríguez of the University of Havana for facilitating my research and travel. Gabriel Cartaya kindly escorted me in and around the Sierra Maestra to see La Plata, Santo Domingo, Alegría del Pío, and other sites associated with the Cuban insurrection. The late Enrique Sosa, a dear friend, shared with me his love of Cuba before his passing in March 2002.
I offer a special thanks to my old soccer buddy Rick Pope, who graciously offered to prepare my maps. My good friends Joe Costa and Christy Paul read and commented on earlier versions of the manuscript, helping me to bring out aspects of Che's life that I might otherwise have overlooked. Joe, like Theresa, Ross, Tami, John, Belinda Allen, Dave, Kenny, Jocelyn, Jimmy, Mike, Dodd, Scott, Valerie, Mike Ortiz, and Tara, have helped me just by making sure that I had a good time. The same goes for all my friends at the revived Cuban Club of Tampa, particularly Jorge and Ileana Díaz, Mario González, Alex Solera, Alex de Quesada, Frank Castillo, Raúl Lavín, Reinaldo Garrido, Fernando Mesa, Dr. Angelo Pérez, José Vivero, and many others.
I have a large, loving, and supportive family to thank: Mom, Dad, Michael, Cindy, Jessica, Duane, Rhonda, Lindsey, Brooke, Madison, Darlene, Michael, and Andrew. We have all suffered in recent years, but we are stronger for having lived through it.
I am not sure that I am any better for having worked so long on this project, but I hope that the literature on Che is richer for it. This book is offered as a modest contribution to a controversial historical subject and is designed for both scholars and the general public. I do not intend to settle the arguments about Che's record, but I will enjoy participating in the debates to come.

With the fall season officially underway, now is the perfect time to update your wardrobe for the cooler months ahead. From luxe fabrics and feminine details to colorful outerwear and contemporary twists on classic silhouettes, the current fall and winter trends offer a bit of it all—giving you plenty of reasons to add one (or two) new pieces to your seasonal collection.
Luxurious, glamorous, and undeniably touchable, velvet is the fabric of choice this fall and winter season—and, even better, it's meant to be worn everywhere. As noted in this Who What Wear article, velvet is no longer the fabric of dark, gothic, and romantic evening-only clothes, but one to be mixed into the most vibrant street styler's daytime wardrobe. From trouser suits to thigh-high boots, this trend can be found in a shocking array of colors, adding to its versatility and daywear appeal. Pair with metallic accessories for an unexpected (though perfect) contrast.
While fur has long been a staple of the fall and winter seasons, 2016's take on the trend is a tad more vibrant. This time around, designers ditched the standard shades of black and brown for a rainbow of hues, ranging from light pink to electric blue and everything in between. Some furs featured an eye-catching monochromatic finish while others combined colors and even boasted pops of prints. Wear the trend in a coat, stole, or—for the more subtle fashionista—a simple fur accent.
If we're being honest, hearing the phrase "power suit" doesn't exactly conjure up images of chic, modern, and stylish working women. Instead, we likely think of the ill-fitting, not-so-flattering pantsuits of the '80s and '90s—a bit like the ones seen a video on workplace fashion from The Scene, which are appropriately described as having "masculine features" (arguably not the best look for lady bosses of 2016). Thankfully, designers are out to change all of that this season, giving the pantsuit a major makeover and bringing it back into our office wardrobes. Think sleek, tailored silhouettes, surprising colors and prints, and, most importantly, wearable styles that can easily go from the boardroom to the bar.
Feminine and demure, the midi skirt has been a fashion must-have for the past few seasons. And, to further prove its versatility, the midi is back on the top of the trends for the fall and winter, too. As this post from International Business Times points out, depending on the weather in your area, a below-the-knee skirt can easily take you into the winter months when worn with tights and ankle booties. To make the silhouette feel fresh for the new season, opt for one with knife pleats—the subtle design detail will instantly add movement and depth to any look. For an even more of-the-moment take on the midi skirt trend, choose one in a metallic hue.

Witness: Woman Shot By Beach Cop Had "Crazed" Look In Her Eyes
Filed Under:Miami Beach, Miami Beach Police Involved Shooting, Miami Beach Shooting
Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) – Miami-Dade Police have identified a woman shot and killed after she reportedly ran down an officer while attempting to flee the scene of an accident.
Monday officers identified her as 22-year-old Cariann Denise Hithon and the Miami Beach officer she reportedly ran down as David Cajuso.
Witnesses said Hithon was behind the wheel of a black BMW early Sunday evening around 6 p.m. when she crashed into a truck on 12th Street and Ocean Drive. She reportedly fled West and hit another vehicle on Lincoln Drive.
As she was reportedly driving away from the scene, she found herself surrounded by police near Washington and 12th Street. During her attempt to escape, she reportedly hit a uniform patrol officer who was dealing with bystanders.
"She started the car and ran away," said witness Miguel Garcia. "She was, like, going over the policeman in front of her, the officer."
Garcia said when he saw the woman's face, she had a wild, crazed expression.
"She was staring, it was very scary looking, I think she was on drugs or something," said Garcia.
Another cop unloaded on the BMW after the officer was run down.
"At that point the other cop started shooting. I heard like shots, like four or five shots, like 'pow, pow, pow, pow!' And then the car lost control," Garcia added.
The BMW continued westbound on 12th Street where it struck a Pathfinder SUV and came to a rest. The woman was taken to the Ryder Trauma Center where she died. A man who was with her in the car was taken for questioning.
The girl's father Cary Hithon reached by phone in Bowie, Maryland told CBS4 his daughter was in South Florida celebrating her 22nd birthday.
"We just had a conversation recently… she was going to do great things for society and our culture," said Hithon. "She wanted to make a difference in the lives of people who weren't as fortunate as her."
Hithon doesn't understand how his daughter, who was set to enter law school, was killed.
"It's terrible, you can't help but have quite a bit of despair and anguish, because you don't understand how it could happen," he said. "It's out of character what they're telling me, but I'm not there. I believe something was going on. Maybe she did panic."
A YouTube video featuring his daughter shows her talking about the importance of civil behavior.
The officer she is accused of hitting, Cajuso, has since been released from the hospital.
Miami-Dade Police, an outside agency, will conduct the police shooting investigation.

California Friday Notebook
Ryan Myrehn's Friday notebook from MRLS…
***The No 23 M1GT Racing Audi R8 LMS did not make the trip to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, bringing the total number of cars in the inaugural Intercontinental GT Challenge race in North America down to 19 entries.
***The final 2018 Pirelli World Challenge schedule will not be released this weekend as initially planned. It is understood that there was a delay with at least one of the tracks the series is in negotiations with. The final schedule could be released as soon as early next week.
***Johnny O'Connell is an interested spectator this weekend as his son Canaan fights for the Pirelli World Challenge TCB championship. The younger O'Connell sits in a tie for second in the class standings after winning the class pole on Friday, and is just two points behind championship leader Jake Pipal.
***O'Connell said he has taken a hands-off approach to his son's racing career. "I let me him come to me," he told Sportscar365. "He's a kid and you never listen to your Dad when you're a kid! He's really grown so much as a driver. If the guys give him a good car I think he'll be good."
***The four-time PWC champion said his own racing future is still uncertain following Cadillac's decision to shutter its PWC program. While he praised his longstanding relationship with General Motors and made it clear he would like to stay under the GM umbrella, O'Connell noted he is exploring his options.
"GM has been so good to me over the years, so I'm hopeful that I'll maintain some role with Cadillac," he said. "That stated, I should be a Silver driver next year. I'd love to get back to Le Mans, to do Daytona, Sebring, the big races again. I think I've proven I'm still as fast as the fast guys, so it's not really time for me to quit yet."
***Sonoma-based K-PAX Racing had a frantic week dealing with the wildfires that have ravaged the northern part of the state. Program Manager Darren Law said he was awoken in the middle of the night on Monday with the news that the team's shop would have to be evacuated.
***The team managed to move most of the equipment off-site, but had to leave their shop when the evacuation notice went into effect. "We couldn't get to everything," Law told Sportscar365. "We had to leave everything in the shop. We moved everything we could, and once they opened the roads we went back."
***Several team employees also were forced to evacuate their homes, and the continued threat of fire damage remains a concern. "It is tough, but there's no control over the fire so it is what it is," said Law. "Whether we were sitting up there or sitting up here, there's nothing we can do. We're going to focus on trying to get the win and deal with it after the weekend."
***Seven Porsche Motorsport race cars will be competing in the California 8 Hours, comprising 35 percent of the field. In total, four 911 GT3 R machines are entered along with three Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR entries.
***Five Porsche factory drivers are entered across two 911 GT3 R entries. The No. 17 HK Motors-GMG machine features Wolf Henzler and Sven Mueller at the controls, alongside team regular Alec Udell, while the No. 58 Wright Motorsports Porsche has Joerg Bergmeister, Patrick Long and Romain Dumas in the same lineup.
***It is just the second time Bergmeister, Long, and Dumas have shared a car, the first time coming in the 2007 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a Porsche-engined Crawford DP03 for Alex Job Racing.
***Jules Gounon is set to take part in the California 8 Hours in the No. 93 RealTime Racing Acura NSX GT3, the sixth different GT3 machine he has driven this year alone. The Frenchman started the year in a Konrad Motorsport-entered Lamborghini Huracan GT3 at the 24 Hours of Dubai before racing an Audi R8 LMS at the Rolex 24 at Daytona for Land Motorsport. He competed in the Blancpain GT Series in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for AKKA ASP, and added the Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R in ADAC GT Masters competition.
***This weekend marks the first U.S. race for Blancpain GT stalwarts Team WRT. The No. 11 chassis that is entered this weekend is the same that Robin Frijns and Stuart Leonard took to the 2017 Blancpain GT Sprint Cup championship. That duo is joined this weekend by British driver Jake Dennis.
***Occasional PWC Touring Car driver Will Rodgers has been drafted into the MARC Cars Australia driver lineup in the No. 194 Marc Mazda 3 V8 alongside Keith Kassulke and Morgan Haber for Sunday's race. The Murrieta, Calif. native also competes in the NASCAR K&N Pro West Series and will be racing in that series at All American Speedway in Roseville, CA Saturday night following the race.
***Other additions to the entry list include Morgan Haber in the sister No. 193 MARC Cars entry, Andy Lee in the NO. 8 HKG Racing / GMG Racing Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport, and Sven Mueller in the No. 17 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R.
***Qualifying for the California 8 Hours is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. PT on Saturday, with the Super Pole session to follow at 1:40 p.m. PT.

Most analyses of the African Union (AU) have focused on the politics of the state and the presidents. There are very few analyses that have focused on aspects such as youth development. The point of departure for this article therefore, is youth development. I argue that although the youth were always part of important historical developments in Africa, they remain on the periphery. In recent times, particularly since the transformation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) into the AU in the 2000s, the youth development agenda has begun to receive the attention at policy level. In 2015 the AU, through Agenda 2063 went a step further by including youth development into mainstream continental policy frameworks. While we welcome all these developments it has emerged that the continent remains hesitant in the area of youth development. Where the AU and its member states have adopted the discourse of youth inclusion—in cases where youth political participation is often limited, such efforts are not met with fitting institutional and practical policy arrangements. The article posits that the African elite is in for a rude awakening as we have witnessed—since 2011—given the discovery by the African youth of new methods of political participation in post-colonial Africa. The article advocates for the adoption of the African community outlook to youth state policy, argues for the youth to be linked to the project of economic freedom, and implores the African elite to embark on the decolonial project to resolve the bearing coloniality of being, power and knowledge.

As Demand for Mobile Workstations Reaches New Heights, Fujitsu Launches New Flagship
17 Dec, 2020 By: Cadalyst Staff
The new CELSIUS H7510 mobile workstation prioritizes graphics support and data security for technology and creative professionals working from home — or anywhere else.
Mobile workstations have enjoyed briskly increasing popularity as the machines have become both more portable and more capable. Approximately 30 to 40% of workstations sold in the past few years have been mobiles, rather than desktops, and in some countries mobiles even exceed desktops, noted Thomas Bretthauer, Head of Global Deskbound Product Management for Fujitsu.
And in 2020, demand has spiked higher, due to the pandemic-driven changes in where designers and engineers are doing their work: Many professionals have left their desktop machines behind and migrated to home offices. In many cases, they are newly outfitted with mobile workstations purchased to keep them productive in their non-traditional work environments.
"At first, one might think the companies can't afford the duplication of capital equipment," noted a Jon Peddie Research report on workstation trends. "However, it was cost-effective. It was economical due to added productivity."
Trends on Track into the Future
Is the shift from desktop to mobile workstation a permanent one? "After the pandemic, when employees can get back to the offices again, this trend may turn back," said Bretthauer. "But the workflow processes have changed now, and we believe that the future workstyle will remain different than it was before the pandemic."
And there's another reason why demand for mobile workstations will likely remain high after things return to normal: Many users who have been introduced to the convenience and flexibility of the mobile form factor will want to retain those advantages, even when they regain access to their desktop machines.
Mobiles Tackle a Range of Tasks
There was a time when the only mobile computers available were rudimentary laptops, which were performance lightweights — but that time is long past. Today, mobile workstations handle demanding professional applications, and even rival some of their desktop counterparts in power and capabilities.
There are certain design and engineering jobs that require the heaviest computing power possible — but the majority don't. General-purpose mobile models enable CAD users, simulation experts, and other graphics-reliant professionals to execute a wide variety of workflows they might have previously performed on a desktop workstation. For example:
AEC professionals can manage the planning of buildings, factories, and all types of infrastructure projects with tools such as building information modeling (BIM) software.
Product designers can create 2D and 3D drawings of individual parts and complex assemblies.
Engineers can perform electronic design simulations, as well as mechanical, thermal, fluid dynamics, crash, stress, and structure simulations.
Media and entertainment professionals can conquer digital content creation jobs ranging from video editing and special effects to animation and rendering.
Fujitsu Launches New Leader of Its Mobile Family
The epitome of this broadly capable category of mobile workstation is the new FUJITSU CELSIUS H7510, a 15.6-inch mobile workstation that features the most advanced CPU, graphics, memory, and display technologies available in the company's mobile workstation lineup. The CELSIUS H7510 provides enterprise-level performance on applications including Adobe Premiere Pro, Autodesk 3ds Max and AutoCAD, PTC Creo, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, and Nemetschek ALLPLAN.
The H7510's performance-enhancing features are concentrated in the following areas:
Graphics and display. The CELSIUS H7510 supports a range of professional graphics hardware options, including the NVIDIA® Quadro RTXTM 3000 graphics processing unit (GPU), which is suitable for virtual reality (VR) applications. In addition to support for powerful graphics cards, the CELSIUS H7510 features improved display quality compared to its predecessors; the full high-definition (FHD) HDR400 screen provides up to 100% coverage of the sRGB color space.
Processor and memory. The CELSIUS H7510 can be equipped with up to 128 GB of memory and a 4-TB solid-state drive (SSD), and buyers can choose between the latest, 10th generation Intel® CoreTM processor range or the powerful Intel® Xeon® W-10885M and W-10855M processors supporting ECC memory. The CELSIUS H7510 supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 2,400-MHz memory and SSDs of up to 4 TB NVMe.
Security. Data security is a concern for everyone who works with proprietary designs and other valuable intellectual property — but those concerns are compounded when the computing device is mobile and can be misplaced or stolen more readily than a desktop unit. Fujitsu has maximized security for the CELSIUS H7510 with PalmSecure, its proprietary authentication technology that verifies user identity by scanning the pattern of palm veins that is unique to every individual. That means that even if the mobile workstation does fall into the wrong hands, it can't be unlocked by the wrong hand!
The FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS H7510 is available now, and can be ordered via resellers in Europe.

PHOTOS: Kentville couple could teach Clark Griswold a thing or two about decking the halls
Ashley Thompson (ashley.thompson@kingscountynews.ca)
Updated: Dec 13, 2019 at 11:01 a.m.
Cheryl and Jim Benson share a love of Christmas. They go all out in preparing their home for the holidays, making their property a popular holiday display destination. - Ashley Thompson photos
KENTVILLE, N.S. —
Jim and Cheryl Benson may share Clark Griswold's love of going above and beyond for their annual Christmas display, but that's where the similarities end.
Unlike Chevy Chase's klutzy character in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the Bensons have decorating for Christmas – inside and out – down to a science.
And, lucky for them, there's no threat of rough-around-the-edges Cousin Eddie dropping by for a visit.
Cheryl and Jim Benson, pictured with their lovable pooch Lily, share a love of Christmas. They go all out in preparing their home for the holidays, making their property a popular holiday display destination.
The fact that Middle Dyke Road offers a spectacular aerial view of their property, which is near the corner of the connector road leading into New Minas and Kentville's Belcher Street, is not lost on the Bensons.
For 25 years, they've spent months preparing an outdoor Christmas display that attracts new visitors on a daily basis from light up at the end of November, until the final showing Jan. 1.
They start in September.
"She's the foreman," jokes Jim.
Cheryl thinks of herself as more of a planner.
She comes up with designs and plots out where the decorations will be placed. Jim handles the woodworking, constructs frames and builds bases.
"It usually takes me a day to put all of my bases up," he says.
"We have about two or three wheelbarrow loads of extension cords and… she has a place for each one."
The retirees make use of good weather leading up to light up day in an attempt to avoid working outside in harsh elements or the pesky wind, but they are mindful of Nov. 11 each year.
"We respect Remembrance Day. We don't decorate on Remembrance Day. We don't go out and work around," explains Jim, a former Michelin employee.
Setup is a team effort fueled by the fascination of passersby from near and far.
"All the lights are checked before we put them out, and the first light up there's something not working… it never fails," says Cheryl, who worked for the Municipality of County of Kings.
They regularly let visitors take a stroll around their property to get a better view of the impressive festive display.
"We both like Christmas – always did." - Jim Benson
Jim's favourite feature is the wagon he refurbished. Cheryl has a soft spot for the wooden church her husband made from scratch.
"The nice part is you've had kids that have come that are now grown up and have kids of their own that come," says Cheryl.
"So you know you're getting old," she adds with a laugh.
Some children leave them notes, which Cheryl tucks away in a Christmas book.
"Someday when we can't do it anymore, I'll be able to look at the Christmas book and have something to look at," she says.
They've received little gifts from longtime fans, and frequently find cards in the mail.
It all warms their hearts.
"That's our Christmas, really. It makes us feel good," says Jim.
"That's what keeps us going."
Their shared loved of all things Christmas has led to many highlight reel moments in 46 years of marriage.
"We're a pretty good match there," says Jim. "We both like Christmas – always did."
Cheryl loves to entertain over the holidays. Jim counts the days until the next Christmas dinner they'll share with their daughter's family.
They've both wholeheartedly embraced the fact that a trip past the Benson house has become a Christmas tradition for many.
Locals regularly ask them when their home will be lit up for the holidays leading up to December.
They try to stay home in the evenings during the holidays to ensure no one is disappointed.
"People expect the lights on every night," says Cheryl.
"We appreciate that they appreciate it because what would be the sense of doing it if nobody enjoyed it?"
Friends have told them that a cruise past their decked out home puts them in the holiday spirit after a tough day at work.
They say feedback like that makes every minute of prep and maintenance worth it.
"Cab drivers and people that are on the road at night and stuff, it gives them something," says Cheryl. "We hope it makes their day a little brighter. That's what we go for."

What makes a product sustainable?
Demystifying how to source materials that do less harm, whether they're natural, locally made or recyclable at the end of their life.
Emily Brooks
In conversation with Cameron Design House
The best tile suppliers in Europe; according to Interior Designers
People get tangled up simply defining the word 'sustainability' so it's no wonder that designers and specifiers are eager for help demystifying how they can do their jobs in a way that will lay as light a hand as possible on the planet.
Actually, the word isn't so hard to define after all: Unesco's definition of sustainable development is "development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" – and you only have to substitute 'development' for 'design' and you've got the beginnings of a framework that can guide decision-making when sourcing.
"The choice of materials continues to grow, and the way existing producers are manufacturing materials is also being revisited," says architect and interior designer Joanna Simpson of Simpson Studio. "I think for every business, sustainability is now very much part of the conversation." She is passionate about designing sustainably, but says that for "a really successful sustainability strategy to be delivered, you do need a client who is interested and engaged" – and she notes that, thankfully, clients are becoming more interested in the subject.
Local manufacture
Sourcing locally made materials where possible cuts down on the 'design miles' it takes to transport it to its final destination; if you're buying European products then you'll have the additional peace of mind of its rigorous environmental and labour laws, too. for JoannaSimpson, buying locally (that is, within the UK) as well as organically are the sustainability measures that carry the greatest weight: she favours native timber, uses leather from Scotland's Muirhead (which converts waste into heat to run the tannery) and recently launched a range of accessories highlighting the beauty of British-quarried marble.
Sourcing locally has another advantage, making interiors that are inherently grounded, believes Simpson. "It allows us to create a building or piece of furniture that celebrates and invests in local produce and craft while supporting local communities and business; something that responds to sustainability on so many levels, from reduced design miles and embodied energy, but also to community and heritage."
Simpson Studio's own workshop made the furniture in this London home, specifiying native timber such as Ash
Sustainable farming
A product might be natural, but that doesn't make it sustainable. Take cotton, which is a water-intensive crop that – unless it is organic – uses pesticides. Linen and hemp are kinder alternatives (hemp, the most ancient textile of all, uses no pesticides), while abaca – a close relative of the banana – is considered a 'future fibre' by the UN for its low-intensity farming (see Tatiana Tarfur's products on Portaire for examples). Look for textiles made from 'mono materials' – that is, a single crop rather than a blend – as they are much easier to recycle at the end of their life. When buying wool, ask whether mulesing (a controversial procedure that removes wool-bearing skin from a sheep to prevent blowfly) has been used in the production.

Many manufacturers are finding ways to make products from waste materials that do not sacrifice on style. Econyl is a trade marked material made from plastic fishing nets that can be spun into a soft thread used to make rugs, for example, while Italian fabric house Rubelli recently found a way to spin the fine threads that fall from the edge of the textile while it's being woven into new yarn, so it's no longer thrown away. Polyester may be made with crude oil initially, but it's one of the most easily recyclable materials, so if you have to specify it, make sure it's recycled. Finally, reclaimed timber is a great option for adding character to newly designed spaces while breathing new life into an existing material.

The 360-degree view
Sustainability isn't just about the product itself but everything surrounding it, too. "We introduced peel - and - stick swatches, which use 95% less waste than a conventional 200ml tester pot, our packaging is entirely recyclable, and our 360 - degree recycling programme means people buying COAT paint can recycle their old tins," says Rob Green, co-founder of paint brand COAT, which was created with sustainable principles in mind (the whole company is carbon positive, in fact). Its recycling programme means that the firm will take back any unused paint to re-process and recycle it, so it doesn't end up in landfill (or in the ocean, where paint is said to be the biggest source of microplastics).

Look for the label
Certification schemes are a great way to help guide your choices. For timber, look for FSC-certified wood to ensure forests are well managed, while GOTS guarantees a product to be organic – and not just the crop itself but all the manufacturing processes along the way. The Good Weave mark on carpets and rugs ensures that products are made without child labour, a good example of how sustainability is as much about being accountable for people as it is products. Want to know more? Read Portaire's guide to understanding its identification system for sustainable products.
Conflicting concerns
No product is perfect, and conflicts may arise when something might be sustainable in one way but not another: it might be made from recycled materials, yet shipped from China, or locally made, but full of VOCs that will off-gas chemicals into the atmosphere. In the end it's up to individual designers to decide what carries the most weight for them.
Then, of course, there's the dilemma of what to do when a client wants to go down a route that's not as sustainable as it could be. "In these situations, we look at our source book and the client's brief to see if there is an alternative we can put forward," says Joanna Simpson."This is not always possible or preferred by the client, so we try and be pragmatic and accept everything in life is a balance!" It's easy to get bogged down in an all-or-nothing approach, so it's helpful to remind yourself that anything is better than nothing – and that everyone's taking the same journey together. The very best thing designers can do is create high-quality interiors that will last as long as possible, extending the lifecycle of the materials used within it.

Career Development and Employability Services
Explore your career possibilities
You are currently on: Types of employment
In today's world, there are a wide range of ways to be employed.
Below you'll find some of the different types of employment options and work environments that you may encounter during your career.
Paid employment
People in paid employment agree to work for an employer under a contract of service for some form of payment.
Further information about the types of pay an employee can get is available on the Employment New Zealand website.
A self-employed person is someone whose income is directly dependent on the profits of their business.
Self-employment advice
business.govt.nz
A New Zealand government business portal designed to help those who want to run their own business.
Not-for-profit organisation helping existing small businesses by giving them access to volunteer business mentors.
Māori Business Growth Support
If you are Māori and interested in starting up a business, or wanting to improve an existing business, the Māori Business Growth Support from Te Puni Kōkiri may be able to help you establish and grow your business.
Poutama Trust
Independent charitable trust providing business development services for Māori. Supports Māori businesses to achieve sustainable growth.
NZ Māori Tourism
Independent incorporated society that works collaboratively with the Māori tourism sector.
TSBC (The Small Business Company)
Private provider of business advice and resources for small businesses.
Business incubators
These organisations offer practical help, advice, resources and support in an "incubator" environment.
Velocity is the innovation and entrepreneurship programme of the University of Auckland, helping students become innovators and entrepreneurs.
The Icehouse
Founded by the University of Auckland Business School in 2001, The Icehouse supports Kiwi business owners and entrepreneurs to succeed through knowledge, connection and investment.
This can be defined as an agreement to perform a task for a certain rate of pay. An independent contractor's point of difference between paid employment lies in the way in which the contractor has full control over time and equipment.
They are responsible for paying their own income tax and ACC levies. In the case of IT professionals, a contract could be established to build a database or install some software. Typically, contract work means the contractor can choose their own hours of work, the volume of work, and their own rate of pay.
Further information: Employment New Zealand - Contractor versus employee
Portfolio careers
This is defined as a situation where instead of working one full-time job a worker maintains a variety of positions for multiple employers and can also be engaged in self-employment simultaneously.
They could for example be involved in part-time employment, temporary jobs, freelancing or contract work, and self-employment culminating in full-time hours.
A portfolio career requires a high degree of organisational skill to juggle a number of different commitments at once; however, this type of work arrangement offers variety and flexibility.

Working in the public sector (Government organisations)
Government organisations are described as any asset, industry or corporation at national, regional or local level that is owned by the government. These are also known as public sector or state owned enterprises (SOE).
Some SOE's in New Zealand include organisations and agencies such as Tertiary Institutions, District Health Boards, The Reserve Bank, Ministries, Defence services and Crown Research Institutes.
Working for a government organisation offers a wide range of occupational opportunities at a variety of levels.
Working in the private sector
This consists of working for entities that are not controlled by the state, such as private firms and companies, corporations, private banks, and non-governmental organisations.
Some private organisations are large and employ hundreds of employees while others are described as small enterprises (under 19 employees) or medium enterprises (under 100 employees).
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
This is an organisation that is not part of a government. Although the definition can technically include for-profit corporations, the term is generally restricted to non-commercial advocacy groups.
NGOs are usually non-profit organisations that gain at least a portion of their funding from private sources. They are generally associated with the United Nations, and authentic NGOs are those that are so designated by the UN. As the label "NGO" is broad (it might cover anything that is non-governmental), many NGOs now prefer the term private voluntary organization (PVO).

Abstract: On April 30, 2009, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued its annual report, known as 'Special 301'. The report presents a review of the global status of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection and enforcement. The USTR is asked to report and comment on the adequacy and effectiveness of IPR protection within the U.S. trading partners. This paper analytically investigates how the USTR in the report of this year evaluated the progress of IPR protection and enforcement in Arab countries.
