Towards a new framework for more democracy at work: ETUC resolution
Resolution adopted at the Executive Committee meeting of 21-22 October 2014
· The ETUC calls for a Directive introducing a new and integrated architecture for workers' involvement in European company forms. Building on the existing EU acquis, the Directive should set high standards on information and consultation, and introduce ambitious minimum standards on workers' board level representation as an additional source of workers' influence.
· The Directive would become the overarching reference on workers' rights to information, consultation and board level representation for all European company forms. The new Directive would accommodate the existing acquis on information and consultation (e.g.: Directive 2002/14/EC) and not replace it.
· A Directive on rights to information, consultation and workers' board level representation applicable to all European company forms would address the gaps and loopholes in the EU acquis. Above all, by demanding such a Directive the ETUC is proposing a truly European vision for EU company law. The Union needs to send strong signals that it defends a business model based on social justice and sustainability.
· Prerogatives of trade unions are key and should be secured throughout the Directive.
Democracy at work – the need to strengthen workers' involvement
The right to information and consultation is a fundamental right recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the revised European Social Charter. It is also a social objective of the European Treaties. This means that the Union is not only under the duty to protect dialogue between management and labour; it is also required to promote it. It is long standing ETUC policy that workplace democracy is a key element of a sustainable company. In sum, the case for more workers' involvement can be made in the name of both social justice and good corporate governance. Yet there are a number of weaknesses in the EU acquis and its implementation, which jeopardise this vision for a fair and sustainable company.
EU law on workers' involvement suffers from poor implementation. Meaningful consultation is frequently hampered by delayed information, poor and incomplete data. Information and consultation are the necessary starting point for any other form of participation. Information and consultation are likely to work better in companies where workers' board level representation is in place as it normally allows privileged access to early information.
Furthermore, the EU's approach to company law and corporate governance challenges the very principle of democracy at work. EU company law is characterised by a minimalist approach based on very light-touch regulation and a strong mutual recognition principle. EU action is restricted to removing barriers to cross-border business rather than promoting a European model for corporate governance. The Refit agenda is a recent demonstration of this extreme deregulation approach. Workers' involvement is treated as a potential burden to businesses rather than as an asset[1] or as a right to be given equal precedence.
The consequence of this approach is an erosion of workers' involvement rights and an incoherent EU acquis. European company law does not fight regime competition and the inevitable race-to-the-bottom that goes with it. Company managements feel free to misuse European law to minimise their obligations under national law. They are also able to organise their corporate structure in order to pick and choose the less "inconvenient" national legislations (e.g.: letter box companies).
Because the different stages of European legislation in this area have been so inconsistent, European company law is full of loopholes, gaps, and discrepancies. Procedures and principles for workers' involvement vary widely between different pieces of legislation. Today, the level of rights and obligations achieved in the SE Directive is regularly put into question in subsequent instruments. For instance, the cross-border merger Directive refers to the SE Directive only in so far as board-level representation rights are concerned. Information and consultation rights are explicitly excluded. Another example is the 2014 proposed Directive for a single-member private limited liability company (the 'SUP'), which removes almost all references to workers' rights. The proposal also generates strong concerns with regard to fiscal and social security evasion and sustainable corporate governance in general[2].
In this light, the Athens ETUC Congress mandated the new Secretariat to strengthen the in-depth work on information, consultation and workers' participation. A December 2011 Resolution[3] confirmed this mandate, stating that the EU institutions should be provided with a detailed ETUC proposal for European standards on workers' involvement.
ETUC position
A coherent and unambiguous approach to workplace democracy is needed. The ETUC calls for a Directive introducing a new and integrated architecture for workers' involvement. Building on the existing EU acquis, the Directive should set high standards on information and consultation, and introduce ambitious minimum standards on workers' board level representation as an additional source of workers' influence. Workers' board level representation should not be treated as a stand-alone right. It should be part of an overall architecture ultimately aiming at strengthening information, consultation and workers' influence. Workers' board level representation can become a source of reliable and early information and, when integrated within a meaningful information and consultation procedure, increase workers' voice on company strategy.
Without prejudice to Member States' prerogative to import EU principles into their national system, the Directive on information, consultation and workers' board level representation should apply in cross-border situations only. No matter which EU law a company relies on to create European company forms (such as the SE, SCE), it would always adhere to the standards of the new Directive. In other words, the Directive would become the single reference on information, consultation, and workers' board level representation for all European company forms. It should be clear that this new Directive would accommodate the existing acquis on information and consultation rights (e.g.: Directive 2002/14/EC) and not replace it.
Horizontal standards on information, consultation and workers' board level participation would address the gaps, loopholes and inconsistencies in the EU acquis, reducing incentives for abuses and circumvention.
Above all, by demanding such a Directive, the ETUC is proposing a truly European vision for EU company law. The Union would be fostering good corporate governance, based on a socially and economically successful model for European company forms. Transnational companies have emerged as key players at the European level, benefitting from and in turn shaping European market integration. Clearly, the EU legislator cannot satisfy itself with a mere coordination role between different national company statutes, based essentially on a country of origin approach. On the contrary, the emergence of a cross-border, genuinely European standard for workers' involvement is the dynamic contribution of the labour movement to the European project. The Union needs to send strong signals that it defends a business model based on social justice and sustainability. Comprehensive transnational standards on workplace democracy are an expression of the original spirit of European integration: the promotion of sustainable, forward-looking principles.
Cornerstones for an EU Directive on information, consultation and workers' board level representation in European company forms
The ETUC calls on the new Commission to prepare a consultation of the European social partners on rights to information, consultation and workers' board level representation in European company forms. The ETUC welcomes in this regard the declarations made by both the President-elect of the Commission and the President of the European Parliament, recognising that workers' board level representation is missing from the European social model[4]. In order to contribute constructively to this necessary debate, the ETUC will continue expert work with a view to proposing concrete provisions.
The Directive should build upon existing information and consultation standards, taking the best of the existing acquis. Attention should be paid in particular to an early information procedure and stronger consultation rights in order to reach agreement via a meaningful dialogue before a decision can be finalised. Workers' representatives must be able to anticipate and manage change. Cross-border information and consultation processes must be meaningfully linked to information, consultation and negotiations at the local level, without interfering with national rules on information and consultation. No worker should be excluded from the scope of application of the Directive, and effective and dissuasive sanctions must imperatively be put in place[5].
The Directive should foster smooth articulation between the three dimensions of representation so as to strengthen workers' influence in the consultation phase. For instance, an appropriate solution should be found to encourage workers' board level representatives to regularly report back to the European Works Council and/ or any other level of workers' representation.
Regardless of the scope, the EWC and SE Directives can serve as inspiration for the design of the new Directive with a view to ensuring that as much space as necessary is left to negotiations. Key principles should thus be laid down in binding minimum standards. The practical implementation of these principles should primarily be negotiated at the company level. Fall-back provisions, applying in the absence of an agreement or if the parties so wish, should be contained in subsidiary requirements. Since the instrument is a Directive, national transposition laws would always be able to provide for more protective rights.
Subsidiary requirements should include new provisions on workers' board level representation, going beyond the "before and after principle" enshrined in the SE Directive. Under this principle, there is almost no incentive for management to conduct meaningful negotiations on board level representation where such a scheme was not in place in the company before a conversion/ merger, nor is there any incentive to build something entirely new and distinctly European, tailored to the company and its stakeholders.
Workers' board level representatives should be full members of the board with no lesser rights and obligations than the members representing the shareholders, including the right to vote, to ask questions and to put items on the agenda. In addition, workers' representatives should be given the means required to exercise their duties, including training, expenses, protection against dismissal etc. Appropriate rules on confidentiality should be devised in order to ensure that workers' representatives can adequately report to various levels of representation.
Prerogatives of trade unions are key and should be secured throughout the Directive and the exercise of workers' involvement in all its forms. Taking the EWC Recast as an example, the Directive should in particular foresee that trade unions are to be informed of the beginning of negotiations and that access to trade union expertise is essential.

Workhorse Group Receives Notice of Allowance for HorseFly™ Truck Launched Drone
Workhorse Group Inc., an American technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to the commercial electric transportation sector, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a notice of allowance for the HorseFly Truck Launched Drone Package Delivery System patent application.
The HorseFly system adheres to all current FAA safety regulations for drone package delivery, as each package is delivered within the delivery driver's "line of sight."
The truck launched drone system is designed to assist a driver as follows:
The truck delivery driver loads the package and launches the HorseFly drone
The HorseFly drone autonomously launches from the roof of the delivery truck, gains altitude and proceeds to the delivery location
At the delivery location, the drone autonomously descends and the package is released
The HorseFly drone returns to the delivery truck at a planned stop and autonomously redocks and recharges for its next delivery
The system was first successfully tested in a rural delivery, launching the drone with a package from atop a truck. The HorseFly system provides significant cost efficiency by eliminating extra miles of driving to deliver packages.
"We believe, as we proceed with the patent application process, that the HorseFly truck launched drone package delivery system will be the first major change to the last mile delivery process since the invention of the truck. The HorseFly system is designed to work with the truck driver to increase efficiency," said Steve Burns, Workhorse CEO. "We feel this is a game-changing moment in time that will innovate the way packages are delivered for many years to come."
The HorseFly UAV Delivery System is a custom-built, high efficiency delivery UAV that is fully integrated with the Workhorse line of electric/hybrid delivery trucks. The HorseFly system conforms to FAA guidelines for UAV operation in the U.S. Most notably, being fully integrated with delivery trucks, the system is designed such that a driver or driver's assistant can maintain line-of-sight operation of the UAV delivery process.

The key to injera is getting comfortable with fermentation. Just like sourdough bread, injera gets its flavour from wild (as opposed to commercial) yeast. But unlike sourdough, this recipe is much easier to prepare. A few days out on the counter and this batter will be happily bubbling away and ready to be made into Ethiopian flatbread. It's a great introduction into the world of fermentation! The bread is gluten free but still rolls just like a crepe and is durable enough to scoop up whatever tasty stew you make.
1. Mix together teff flour and water. Pour into a large, clean glass or ceramic container (I use a 56 oz canning jar). Keep in mind that the batter will expand by 1/3 or more, so make sure you container is big enough. Secure a piece of cloth over the mouth of the container so everything can breathe–I put a cloth napkin over the mouth of the canning jar and secure it with the metal ring.
2. Let the batter sit for 2 to 3 days, stirring 3 times a day, until better begin to bubble and rise.
3. Once the batter is bubbly, stir in the baking powder and salt.
4. Let the batter sit while you heat a 10″ non-stick pan over medium to med-hi heat.
5. Lightly oil the pan. Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the pan and tilt to coat (thin batter with water if necessary). Cook until the injera has bubbles all over, then cover with a lid so the injera can steam for 2-3 minutes. Regulate the heat so the bread does not burn.
6. Remove the injera to a cooling rack and roll it while warm. Cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Peru's president resolved on serving full term
Lima: Peruvian President Pedro Castillo has said "nothing will prevent" him from serving his full term in office, a day after Peru's Congress voted to start impeachment proceedings against him for alleged "moral incompetence."
Castillo voiced confidence that the "democratic sectors" of public authority and the social forces "will be on the side of institutionality and governability."
The president said he welcomes a call to dialogue and "political truce" between the executive and legislative branches of Peru made in a preliminary report by a high-level group from the Organization of American States, which visited the country on Nov. 21-22.
Peru's Congress decided by a vote of 73 to 32 to begin impeachment proceedings against the president, with the vote to take place on Dec. 7.
The latest impeachment attempt must secure at least 87 votes, or two-thirds of Peruvian lawmakers, to succeed.

How to Invest with Confidence
Financial Technology & Automated Investing
Investing Investing Essentials
By James Chen
An open offer is a secondary market offering, similar to a rights issue. In an open offer, a shareholder is allowed to purchase stock at a price that is lower than the current market price. The purpose of such an offer is to raise cash for the company efficiently.
Understanding Open Offer
An open offer differs from a rights issue (offering) in that investors are unable to sell the rights that come with their purchases to other parties. In a traditional rights issue, the trading of transferable rights, connected with shares, occurs on the exchange that currently lists the issuer's common stock (e.g., NYSE or Nasdaq). These can also be listed over the counter (OTC). Some investors see a secondary market offering as a harbinger of bad news as it causes stock dilution. Also, the open offer could signal that the company stock is currently overvalued.
In both a rights issue and open offer, a company allows existing shareholders to purchase additional shares directly from the company in proportion to what they currently own. This is to prevent dilution to existing shareholders. Given the lack of dilution, in contrast with traditional equity issues and secondary offerings, such an issue does not require shareholder approval. This is if the issue is less than 20% of the total shares outstanding.
Similarities Between a Rights Issue and an Open Offer
Both a rights issue and open offer opportunity generally last for a fixed time period, often 16-30 days. This begins on the day the issuer's registration statement for the rights offering becomes effective. No federal securities laws mandate a specific time period for a rights issue, however. With both rights issues and open offers, if an investor lets the time period for the opportunity expire, she will not receive any cash.
While rights issues are often also priced at a subscription below the current market price – as with an open offer – these rights are transferable to external investors. Other types of traditional rights issues include a direct rights issue and insured rights offering (also called a standby rights offering). To prepare for any rights offering an issuer must provide official documentation to shareholders, along with marketing materials. The issuer must obtain the exercise certificates and payment from shareholders and file the required Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and exchange documentation. (These are key steps but not a comprehensive set as all issues differ.)
Rights Offering (Issue) Definition
A rights offering is a set of rights given to shareholders to purchase additional stock shares in proportion to their holdings.
Subscription Price
The term "subscription price" refers to a static price at which existing shareholders can participate in a rights offering; it also refers to the exercise price for warrant holders of a particular stock.
Cum Rights
Cum rights allow existing shareholders to buy new shares, typically at a price lower than the current market price of the shares in question.
Direct Public Offering (DPO)
A direct public offering (DPO) is an offering where the company offers its securities directly to the public without financial intermediaries.
A derivative that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a certain price before expiration.
Follow On Public Offer (FPO)
A follow-on public offer (FPO) is an issuance of shares by a public company whose shares are already listed on an exchange.

Hot Springs National Park is a United States national park in central Garland County, Arkansas, adjacent to the city of Hot Springs.
Established before the concept of a national park existed, it was the first time that a piece of land had been set aside by the federal government to preserve its use as an area for recreation.
Originally established by Congress as Hot Springs Reservation in 1832 and later becoming a national park in 1921, Hot Springs National Park represents the oldest protected area in the National Park System.
Hot Springs National Park covers an area of 22.5 square kilometers (9 square miles) or 2,250 hectares (5,550 acres).
The park is centered on 47 thermal springs, from which more than 3,200,000 liters (850,000 gallons) of water, with an average temperature of 62 °C (143 °F), flow daily.
The springs emerge in a gap between Hot Springs Mountain and West Mountain in an area about 460 meters (1,500 feet) long by 120 meters (400 feet) wide at altitudes from 176 to 208 meters (576 to 683 feet).
The water all comes from the same deep source, but surface appearance of the springs differed.
In addition to the hot springs, the park encompasses a wilderness area with over 32 kilometers (20 miles) of trails and a campground.
The park includes portions of downtown Hot Springs, making it one of the most accessible national parks.
The entire Bathhouse Row area is designated as a National Historic Landmark District that contains the grandest collection of bathhouses of its kind in North America, including many outstanding examples of Gilded Age architecture.
Members of many Native American tribes had been gathering in the valley for over 8,000 years to enjoy the healing properties of the thermal springs.
The first non-Native American known to see the hot springs was Hernando de Soto in 1541.
In 1673 Father Marquette and Jolliet explored the area and claimed it for France. The Treaty of Paris 1763 ceded the land back to Spain; however, in 1800 control was returned to France until the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
In November 1864 during the American Civil War, a large part of "the valley" (the central portion of the city along Hot Springs Creek) was burned – presumably by Union troops.
The Dunbar-Hunter Expedition came here in 1804, sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the southern reaches of the Louisiana Purchase. Soon a bustling town grew up around the hot springs to provide services for health seekers. The resultant bathing industry led to Hot Springs becoming known as the "American Spa."
Hot Springs National Park is the oldest park managed by the National Park System.
Until the re-designation of Jefferson National Expansion Memorial as Gateway Arch National Park in 2018, it was the smallest national park by area in the United States.
Incorporated January 10, 1851, the city has been home to Major League Baseball spring training, illegal gambling, speakeasies and gangsters such as Al Capone, horse racing at Oaklawn Park, the Army and Navy Hospital, and 42nd President Bill Clinton.
During the peak popularity of the hot springs, until the 1950s, the many patients staying for three weeks, six weeks, or longer were a large source of business for the numerous hotels, boarding houses, doctors, and drugstores.
Since Hot Springs National Park is the oldest park maintained by the National Park Service, it was the first to receive its own US quarter in April 2010 as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters coin series.
The hot water is supplied to the various bathhouses, with resulting income from concession fees going to the U.S. Treasury.

Much architectural jargon has been lavished on this Tribeca warehouse loft renovation but we just like the look of the cool, dynamic, elongated space.
This is not exactly a cozy home but its brutalist strength fits an old Manhattan warehouse well.
The Inverted Warehouse Townhouse has received numerous U.S. awards. It is the creation of Dean-Wolf Architects of New York, where architect Charles Wolf and designer Eunjeong Seong were in charge of the project.
We like the visible stairs that create a sense of lift and movement upward. We like the large surfaces of brick, steel and glass. We like the visibility between floors and from space to space that solves the potential problem of dark boxy rooms inside a windowless warehouse.
It is an impressive conversion of a loft (of 10,500 square feet) within a vast warehouse that covers the entire lot, leaving no room for outside space, garden or patio.
The main achievements of Dean-Wolf's work are cutting the roof open to let the natural light in and then using glass panels to let it shine into the dark centre of the expansive structure.
By doing this, they also created "outdoor" space inside, making the residence feel like it has a courtyard. They also created a large garden deck off the main living room.

Crafty government manages to avert a crisis of numbers
By Poornima Joshi
Published: 16:15 EST, 15 March 2012 | Updated: 16:15 EST, 15 March 2012
The Manmohan Singh-led government was struggling to find the numbers to face a vote in Parliament relating to certain amendments moved by parties to the presidential address
The Congress managed to save the government by a whisker in the Lok Sabha on Thursday afternoon.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was to reply to the motion of thanks to the presidential address to which as many as 2,700 amendments had been moved by various Opposition as well as UPA allies including Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).
Though the TMC's amendment regarding the setting up of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) had been rejected by Speaker Meira Kumar, the BJP, the CPM and the BJD's specific amendments to the NCTC had not just been seconded, but formally moved in the House.
The amendments were to be taken up and the address put to vote. The problem was, the government did not seem to have the numbers to face a vote in Parliament. It was deferred till Monday without so much as informing the Opposition.
Almost immediately, Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj charged the government of 'shying away' from the vote because, she said, they did not have the numbers. 'The government is in a crisis.
'They are buying time because they are not sure of their numbers,' Swaraj said. Though the parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Bansal later said Swaraj was making a 'mountain of a molehill', the reality was that the government was not sure of whether they could cobble up a simple majority to reject the amendments.
The TMC with 19 MPs too wanted an amendment seeking deletion of the paragraph in Clause 91 of the address with regard to NCTC.
However, the Lok Sabha secretariat rejected the Trinamool amendment on technical grounds.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar
The move, which was meant to embarrass the Congress, came a cropper because it was 'wrongly worded' and the time to revise the notice was over by Wednesday afternoon.
TMC chief whip in Lok Sabha Kalyan Banerjee had submitted the notice disregarding finance minister Pranab Mukherjee's warning on Tuesday night.
Parliament sources said the TMC amendment was rejected as amendments to the President's address were for or against passing the motion of thanks and not for the deletion of any paragraph.
But this did not mean that the Congress had won over the TMC's support. The party continues to oppose the NCTC and it was not certain they would vote to pass the motion of thanks.
At the same time, another outside supporter of the government, the Samajwadi Party (SP) was absent from the House on Thursday, accounting for the absence of another 22 supporting MPs.
The government clearly did not want to take a chance and rescheduled the debate. 'They can say what they like. The fact is that they have not sorted out issues with the TMC and the SP was not present.
They were not sure,' Swaraj said. If the government does not have adequate numbers to pass the motion of thanks with amendments, the situation tantamounts to the government losing majority.
'The government has run away. We have a situation where the whereabouts of the minister of state for parliamentary affairs (Harish Rawat) are not known.
'We do not know whether the railway minister has been sacked or is still serving,' the BJP's M. Venkaiah Naidu said.

Boy Scouts of America Struck With Wave of Sex-Abuse Allegations
Catholic leaders reflect on Church's progress in light of organization's allegations.

Susan Klemond News November 27, 2020
The nearly 90,000 sexual-abuse allegations filed against the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) before a Nov. 16 bankruptcy deadline provide the latest evidence of the extent of the scourge on society.
For the Catholic Church in the United States it's a problem on which it has worked for decades to develop solutions for greater transparency, appropriate redress of victims and protection of young people.
The Boy Scouts of America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February after a wave of new sex-abuse lawsuits were filed as a result of states including California, New York and New Jersey giving childhood victims expanded legal options to sue, according to the Los Angeles Times. Through an outreach campaign this fall, BSAencouraged victims to seek compensation from a trust fundit plans to establish from its more than $1 billion in assets.
According to the bankruptcy filing, the property holdings and assets of BSA's 261 local councils are separate legal entities and shouldn't be included as debtors in the case, The Associated Press reported.
Hundreds of lawsuits against BSA were put on hold because of the bankruptcy to allow negotiation of a possible global settlement. The bankruptcy also requires any new abuse-claims cases to be handled there instead of in state courts, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The number of victims could change as the legal cases progress, according to the New York Post.
Bishop James Johnston of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Missouri, said he was "profoundly sad" to read about former Boy Scouts who had experienced abuse.
"I was a Boy Scout (Eagle), and it had a profoundly positive impact on my life, as our troop was blessed by good men as leaders and so many of the fathers of the Scouts," Bishop Johnston, who chairs the U.S. bishops' Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People, told the Register in a statement.
The Church has learned much about the "terrible reality of child sexual abuse," he said. "It is something that can occur within any organization. We have learned much from the victim/survivors and their stories, as well as the impact this trauma has had on their lives."
"We are still working to help them on the journey of healing," said the bishop, even as Catholics continue to learn from the Nov. 10 release of the McCarrick Report, a document that details four decades of corruption and abuse perpetrated by disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.
Widespread Problem
Allegations against the Boy Scouts bring perspective to the Church's clergy sex-abuse problem and the involvement shared by other institutions in society. While recognizing the problem, U.S. Church leaders reflected on the positive effect of policies and procedures developed to correct it by the U.S. bishops and broader Church — policies that continue to be updated.
Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America's national service center is located in Irving, Texas. The organization has fewer than 2 million members, down from about 4 million in the 1970s.
Not all the Boy Scout allegations have yet been substantiated, but most involve alleged incidents in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The organization kept files on abusers but neglected to follow up.
"Any organization where there are children there's a potential for offenders, perpetrators wanting to take advantage of the fact that there are children or young people, those who are considered vulnerable," said Deacon Bernard Nojacera, executive director of the U.S. Bishops' Secretariat of Child and Youth Protection.
The number of allegations of clergy sexual abuse of minors in the U.S. Church that were reported in 2002 or earlier is 6,122, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. The number reported after 2004 is 6,942.
The allegations against the Boy Scouts highlight that widespread nature of sexual abuse. An estimated one-third to one-half of perpetrators of sexual abuse against girls and 10% to 20% against boys are family members, according to a report by University of New Hampshire professor David Finkelhor.
An overwhelming percentage of sexual abuse (90%) is committed by men and by persons known to the child (70%-90%), the report stated.
A 2002 Christian Science Monitor article stated that most U.S. churches receiving child sexual-abuse allegations are Protestant, and allegations in Jewish communities are comparable to those charged against Protestant clergy.
Also, a 2004 report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education indicated that nearly 10% of U.S. public-school students had received unwanted sexual attention by school employees.
The Church's Experience
Nearly 20 years ago, the U.S. bishops developed the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People: Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing With Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons."
Known as the Dallas Charter, it has been updated several times, provides dioceses with a road map of principles and procedures that dioceses can tailor to their needs and can integrate into Church life, Deacon Nojacera said.
The Church realized since the 1980s and even earlier that there was a problem and that action needed to take place, he said. The bishops agree to abide by the articles of the charter, he said.
They recognize the importance of broad awareness and training for everyone in an organization "to make it difficult for abusers to have access to children and to make it easy to report suspicions of abuse," Bishop Johnston told the Register.
"The Church holds the safety of children as a core value," he said, "and commits to provide a culture of safety in our parishes and schools. We have stronger structures in place to ensure accountability in reporting and consequences for abusers and those who fail in their responsibility to deal with child sexual abuse."
In the last year, Bishop Johnston said, "more great strides have been made with the publication of Pope Francis' apostolic letter Vos Estis Lux Mundi; the document from the Holy See known as the vademecum, which clarifies the steps for responding to clergy sexual abuse; and, finally, the recently released report on former Cardinal McCarrick, a document that sets a new standard for uncovering the culture of silence and shines light on past failures within the Church. This focused work will continue to make us all better. It is a work that is never done."
The USCCB's Dallas Charter emphasizes reaching out to victims and accompanying them, Deacon Nojacera said. According to a 2013 study, men frequently wait 20 to 30 years before making an abuse allegation.
"I firmly believe that the path for healing for our Church is [that it's] going to be required that we have a relationship with the survivor-victim," he said. "They are going to be the ones to help us journey, if anything, even though we're accompanying them."
A cooperative collaboration with community entities, including educational institutions, other organizations, faith communities and denominations, called for in the charter is happening, Deacon Nojacera said. "The very fact that folks are able to talk about this, that was not the case before."
The Church has been able to share best practices on child protection, including with the Boy Scouts, which operates troops in Catholic churches in many dioceses, he said.
Shared Responsibility
In 20 years with the charter, the cultural change has been evolutionary, Deacon Nojacera said.
"The issue of child sexual abuse and clergy or Church employees or ministers, this is something now that is out in the open," he said. At safe-environment trainings, Catholics are encouraged to speak up and learn to make reports.
Ultimately, he said, protecting children from sexual abuse is the responsibility of all Catholics.
"The onus of making sure our young people are safe and those who are vulnerable are protected does not lie on just the shoulders of the folks in the office for protection, but on all of God's people," Deacon Nojacera said. "It's the whole community that steps up to make sure that those who need protection are protected."

Wernigerode Castle
Nestled in the Harz Mountains overlooking the town of Wernigerode, the Wer-nigerode Castle is one of the most popular tourist landmarks in Saxony-Anhalt. Dating to the Middle Ages, it's an impressive example of the Norddeutschen Historismus building style and exhibits similarities to the fairytale-like architecture of Schloss Neuschwanstein in southwest Bavaria.
The Wernigerode Castle was originally established in the 12th or 13th centuries as a medieval fort and a stronghold for the German emperors during their hunt-ing excursions. In the 16th century, it was rebuilt as a Renaissance fortress before being reconstructed in a baroque style following the 17th-century Thirty Years' War by Count Ernest of Stolberg-Wernigerode.
The castle was again rebuilt by Ernest's descendant, Count Otto, who served as the first president of the Prussian Province of Hanover from 1867. It was rede-signed in a Neo-Romantic Historicism style, with a chapel added in 1880 by the renowned Vienna architect Friedrich von Schmidt.
Today more than 40 grand living quarters of the Wernigerode Castle are open to the public, with guided tours offering a fascinating insight into the lavish lifestyle of the German nobility. Many rooms are decorated with original furnishings, including ornate chandeliers, intricate wooden carvings and tapestries, while others host special exhibitions and displays detailing the castle's history. In addition to guided tours, visitors are welcome to explore the castle with the help of an audio guide.
The terraces and castle ramparts also offer stunning views overlooking the town of Wernigerode below. After exploring the Wernigerode Castle, be sure to wander through the town marketplace that's lined with colorful medieval buildings, such as the timber-faced Rathaus that dates to the late 15th century.

The Tragic Life Story of Audrey Munson: America's First Nude Movie Star
Moriah Gill, October 26, 2020 3:32 pm
Instagram via @nelsonaspen
Audrey Marie Munson was the first American supermodel. Her statues are littered throughout New York City with more in Wisconsin and Missouri. The latter both have her likeness over their state capitol buildings. There is a statue of her in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts and she once was on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Alas, her story is a tragic one.
Born in Rochester, New York, to parents who divorced before she even saw ten years old, because he was having an affair with another woman. Her mother raised Audrey. At the age of five, she was told her fortune by a Gypsy woman in east Syracuse. She said:
"You shall be beloved and famous. But when you think that happiness is yours, its Dead Sea fruit ?shall turn to ashes in your mouth. You, who shall throw away thousands of dollars as a caprice, shall want for a penny. You, who shall mock at love, shall seek love without finding. Seven men shall love you. Seven times you shall be led by the man who loves you to the steps of the altar, but never shall you wed."
Pretty spooky stuff, right? Yeah, Audrey felt the same… like she'd been cursed.

The story of Audrey Munson begins with her debut on stage in Gerald Hampton's Dancing Dolls at Rocky Point Amusement Park in Warwick. She appeared on Broadway in The Boy and the Girl, The Girl and the Wizard.
After being a broadway chorus girl, Munson began modeling in New York City and was the Beaux-Arts scene doll. She was first found by photographer Felix Benedict Herzog. and posed for his friend Isidore Konti, for the sculpture, The Three Graces. This was when she posed nude for the first time, and her sculpture was displayed in the New York Hotel Astor's main ballroom. She posed as a goddess-like character for painters, artists, a tapestry weaver, including Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Alexander Stirling Calder, Daniel Chester French, and Adolph Alexander Weinman. She can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Civic Fame," on the Manhattan Municipal Building. The 25-foot copper statue, designed by Alexander Weinman, is the second-largest in New York – after the statue of liberty. She is outside of the New York public library, in Central Park, near the plaza hotel, and presented as the female version of the United States, riding a seashell chariot with hippocampi, a seahorse/horse breed.
The USS Maine National Monument at Merchants' Gate of Central Park was dedicated in 1913 to the men killed aboard USS Maine when the ship exploded in the harbor of Havana. Designed by Harold Van Buren Magonigle and sculpted by Attilio Piccirilli. It shows Columbia triumphant in a seashell chariot being drawn by three hippocampi modeled by Audrey Munson #ussmaine #columbiscircle #columbia #hippocampi #havana #harolvanburnmaginigle #newyork #publicart #attiliopiccirilli #audreymunson #centralpark

In 1913, the New York Sun read ?All New York Bows to the Real Miss Manhattan.? She was also dubbed "The American Venus" as she posed for 3/5 of the in 1915's San Francisco Panama?Pacific International Exposition. All in all, she posed for over 200 artists. However, she was making little to no money, so she branched out into something else.
Film Career:
In November of 1915, she starred in a 'motion picture.' The industry was new, and she wanted to be apart of it. In her first silent film, Inspiration, she appeared nude, as a sculptor's muse. The movie was the first non-pornographic film to show a naked woman's body. It was almost a biographical film about a young woman who was discovered by a sculptor. But, the NYC crowd were prudes!
Munson and her mother moved to California to appear in another movie, Purity, in 1916. It was successful but received mixed responses. Her last film, The Girl O' Dreams, was never even released, for reasons unknown. The Munsons returned to NYC. Audrey and her mother had previously stayed in a boarding house in New York City, owned by a doctor named Walter Wilkins. In February 1919, Wilkins murdered his wife with a lead pipe and hammer. Police learned that Wilkins was obsessed with the young woman who used to be a tenant. It was believed that he'd killed his wife to be with her. Audrey and her mom were living in Canada when the police came to inquire about the situation. Even when she denied having any connection to Wilkins, her name was still attached to his story. He was sentenced to the electric chair but hung himself before the time came. The blow of the negative publicity killed Audrey's career.
In 1921, she attempted to get some publicity for her film, Heedless Moths, by partnering with an American newspaper, Hearst, with a series of articles called "The Queen of the Artists? Studios," where she talked about being a muse, but others profited from her image instead of her.

Jobless, Audrey and her mother moved to Syracuse, where her mother peddled kitchen utensils. What can only be described as the tragic life of Audrey Munson went further downhill from there. By the age of 39, she was known as the "once famous artist's model." On her 40th birthday, her mother committed her to the St. Lawrence State Hospital, an insane asylum in Ogdensburg, New York. She remained there for 65 years, fading into obscurity until her niece Darlene Bradley discovered her 93 years old. Audrey Munson died at 104 in February 1996. America's first supermodel was buried at the New Haven Cemetery in an unmarked grave until amends were made nearly twenty years later. Her family added the words 'Actress and Model' were etched into her tombstone.
In 2017, one of her sculptures was returned to the Manhattan bridge as "Miss Manhattan" alongside "Miss Brooklyn," created by sculpture Daniel Chester French. Audrey Munson is everywhere you look in New York today.

How Hamonic's absence affects the Canucks' salary cap
Trevor Beggs
Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports
It's not often you see a defenceman go from top four to the waiver wire in a matter of months.
That's the situation Travis Hamonic is in. The Vancouver Canucks placed the 31-year-old on waivers a little more than two months after they signed him to a two-year, $6 million extension.
Unlike most players who hit waivers, Hamonic's demotion isn't performance-related. This is a player the Canucks would love to have on their roster. However, he remains away from the team, officially, for "personal matters," which many believe is vaccine-related.
"It's bigger than what you guys think it is," GM Jim Benning told reporters on Monday.
Still, the idea that this is vaccine-related was reinforced by the fact that Benning stated the team was now 100% vaccinated, immediately after Hamonic's demotion.
This is a player who's been through a lot. ESPN did a feature on him back in 2014 about his father's sudden passing. Hamonic also opted out of the 2020 playoffs, citing his daughter's health. So the Canucks are giving him all the time he needs to figure out his future.
In a normal situation, the Canucks would get $1.125 million in cap relief by sending Hamonic to the minors. Hamonic would receive his full $3 million salary, but only count $1.875 million against Vancouver's cap.
But of course, this isn't a normal situation.
There are a few scenarios for Hamonic and the Canucks moving forward.
Unvaccinated players will lose money, provide cap savings
According to the COVID protocols set out by the NHL, players will forego their salary if/when they miss team activities due to not being fully vaccinated. The NHL also confirmed that NHL teams will not have that salary count towards the salary cap.
In short, Hamonic would theoretically forfeit close to half of his $3 million salary if he joins the Canucks and plays NHL games without being fully vaccinated. Players can't cross the border into the United States without being fully vaccinated, and soon they won't be allowed to travel on planes within Canada too.
Vancouver has 33 of 41 road games in US cities this season.
In the league's 2021-22 COVID protocols, the NHL gives an example of a player forfeiting 1/200th of their pay for every day missed. In Hamonic's situation, that equates to about $15,000 per day before tax.
One caveat for suspending a player due to being unvaccinated is that they can avoid suspension if they have a legitimate medical reason for not being vaccinated, or if this infringes on their religious beliefs.
What happens in Abbotsford
Benning said Monday that he expects Hamonic will report to Abbotsford. The Canucks, of course, have the option to tell him to stay home. That's what the Columbus Blue Jackets did with Zac Rinaldo, who will collect his full $300,000 AHL salary but won't play for their farm team.
Because Hamonic signed a one-way contract, in this scenario, he would collect his full $3 million salary and count $1.875 million against the Canucks' cap.
If Hamonic is allowed to play for Abbotsford, he would miss nearly half his team's games. All but eight of Abbotsford's away games are played in the United States.
Dr. Henry: Decision on 100% capacity at Canucks games will be made this week

5 Things to Know Before the Stock Market Opens Monday
By Matthew J. Belvedere, CNBC	• Published November 29, 2021 • Updated on November 29, 2021 at 9:18 am
Here are the most important news, trends and analysis that investors need to start their trading day:
Wall Street set to jump after Friday's omicron-driven plunge
Fauci says U.S. needs to be prepared to do 'everything' to fight variant
America plans to restrict travel from South Africa, other nations
Moderna, Pfizer say omicron vaccine could be ready next year
Cyber Monday next after Black Friday traffic drops from pre-Covid levels
1. Wall Street set to jump after Friday's omicron-driven plunge
The Dow, after Friday's plunge, was set to bounce more than 300 points to start the week as investors monitor the highly mutated Covid omicron variant. The 30-stock average sank 905 points, or 2.5%, in Friday's post-holiday shortened session, in a global sell-off triggered by South Africa's discovery of what the World Health Organization later called a "variant of concern." The S&P 500 tumbled 2.3% and the Nasdaq slipped 2.2%. The three major benchmarks were negative for the week.
After Friday's sharp slide, the 10-year Treasury yield was up to over 1.55% on Monday.
U.S. oil prices were up over 6% to more than $72 per barrel Monday after Friday's 13% fall.
Bitcoin was up 4% to over $57,000 on Monday after sinking to roughly $53,500 last week.
2. Fauci says U.S. needs to be prepared to do 'everything' to fight variant
Elizabeth Frantz | Reuters
White House Chief Medical Adviser Anthony Fauci gives his opening statement before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing on "Next Steps: The Road Ahead for the COVID-19 Response" on Capitol Hill in Washington, November 4, 2021.
White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that Americans need to be prepared to do "anything and everything" to fight omicron. The variant has several mutations to the spike protein that allows the virus to enter the body, and some of those mutations could lead to increased antibody resistance and transmissibility. However, Fauci said it will take about two weeks to have more definitive information on omicron's transmissibility, severity and other characteristics. Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, told the ABC program "This Week" that it's still "too early to say" whether lockdowns or new mandates will be appropriate.
3. America plans to restrict travel from South Africa, other nations
William West | AFP | Getty Images
International travellers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) arrive at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport on November 29, 2021 as Australia records it's first cases of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
The WHO urged countries around the world not to impose flight bans on southern African nations due to concerns over omicron. The U.S. plans to restrict travel for non-U.S. citizens from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. The variant has been found in the U.K., Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong. However, omicron has yet to be found in America. Fearing new travel bans, airline stocks were crushed Friday. But they were bouncing higher in Monday's premarket trading, along with the broader strength in stocks.
4. Moderna, Pfizer say omicron vaccine could be ready next year
Boston Globe | Getty Images
Moderna's sign is seen outside of their headquarters in Cambridge, MA on March 11, 2021.
Vaccine makers, including Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, said they're studying omicron even as it remains to be seen how the variant responds to current shots or whether new formulations are required. Moderna said it could roll out a reformulated vaccine early next year. Pfizer could have a new vaccine against omicron in less than 100 days, CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC on Monday. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told CNBC on Monday that while the variant is likely present in most countries, travel restrictions can slow down the spread and save lives.
5. Cyber Monday next after Black Friday traffic drops from pre-Covid levels
Matthew Hatcher | Getty Images
People shop at the Polaris Fashion Place mall during Black Friday on November 26, 2021 in Columbus, Ohio.
U.S. retailers are estimated to generate online sales of up to $11.3 billion on Cyber Monday, a decline in growth from a year earlier as fewer discounts and limited choices due to global supply chain disruptions deter shoppers. Traffic at retail stores on Black Friday dropped 28.3% compared with 2019, as Americans shifted more of their spending online and kicked off their shopping earlier in the year, according to preliminary data from Sensormatic Solutions. However, Black Friday traffic was up 47.5% from last year.

Folding wooden chairs with canvas seats and backs can painted to match any decor.
1 How Do You Paint Metal Folding Chairs?
Wooden folding chairs are an inexpensive and portable way to add seating to your home or garden area. Often created with canvas backs and seats, these comfortable chairs are designed to be used, folded up and put away, making them perfect for small apartments or homes where space is limited. Normally sold in neutral tones, both the wood base and the canvas back can be painted, allowing you to blend the chairs into your decor.
Remove the canvas seat and back. You may need to use a screwdriver to loosen the wood frame of the chair to be able to slide the canvas from the frame.
Wash the canvas in a washing machine using warm water and a mild detergent to remove any solvents or dirt. Dry in a dryer using low heat and no fabric softener. Remove any wrinkles in the fabric with an iron set on low.
Sand the wooden chair frame using 120-grit sandpaper. Run the sandpaper over the entire frame, including getting into any corners or indentations. Wipe the frame with a damp, lint-free cloth. Allow the chair to dry before continuing.
Spread the drop cloth in a well-ventilated area. Any vertical structures nearby should be covered to prevent coloration from over-spray. Attach part of the drop cloth to walls and such, using masking tape to secure it.
Place the chair frame in the center of the drop-cloth-protected area. Shake the spray paint according to directions on the can. Hold the can approximately 10 inches from the frame and press down on the spray button. Apply an even coat of paint to the chair frame with a long, sweeping back-and-forth motion. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Tip the chair onto its side in the protected area. Continue to spray paint the chair as described in Step 2. Continue until the entire chair is painted. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Lay the canvas back flat on a hard surface. If desired, sketch your design onto the fabric using stencils and a fabric pencil. Use a ruler for straight lines.
Load the paintbrush with fabric paint. Apply the paint to the canvas evenly until the design is complete. Allow it to dry. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the back side of the canvas. Allow the paint to dry. Apply embellishments, using fabric glue, to the back side of the canvas only, if desired.
Lay the canvas seat flat on a hard surface. Repeat Step 1 and 2 on the top side only. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Slide the canvas seat back onto the chair frame once the canvas and the frame have dried completely. The painted area of the canvas should face up. Screw the seat frame back together if necessary.
Slide the canvas chair back over the back frame dowels. Confirm that any embellishments are facing away from the chair on the back.
Repeat all steps for each chair.
Use a large cardboard box instead of the drop cloth. It should be big enough to fit the entire chair in with extra room around the sides and back.
