What's so good about open standards in Access Control? An industry round-table responds
Published 30th July, 2018 by John Hatcher
As solutions proliferate in the access control market, interoperability has never been a more pressing topic. A recent industry report* finds: "91% [of professional respondents to a survey] agree integrating security systems with each other and with other building technology has become noticeably more important in the last five years." Agreed standards are one powerful integration tool. Among the most important lock standards is the OSS Standard Offline (OSS–SO) from the Open Security Standards Association. Each lock manufacturer has its own approach to writing and reading cards, but customers installing offline locks from brands that subscribe to the OSS–SO are guaranteed interoperability**. With the OSS–SO, offline locks from different manufacturers read the same access rights from a card and interpret them in the same way.
We spoke to a round-table of manufacturers and integrators about the standard's importance — and its future.
Frederik Hamburg, Chairman of the Open Standards Security Association
What are the benefits of open standards for manufacturers and end-users of access control technology?
Customers see huge benefits of an open standard like the OSS Standard Offline. Open platform development dramatically cuts a customer's dependence on a single supplier, leaving them free to choose the best device for the job. Open standards offer more frequent opportunities to tender projects, because you are freed from compatibility concerns. Ultimately, that can be a significant cost advantage.
There's plenty of evidence, too, that open standards are generally more secure than proprietary solutions.
For manufacturers, membership of the OSS gives them a seat at the table when it comes to designing the standard's specification. All participating manufacturers are able to optimise development costs and by adhering to pre-agreed standards, time-to-market for new devices is reduced.
Mattias Weiß, Product Manager Aperio at ASSA ABLOY EMEA
Why did you choose to get involved in driving the OSS Standard Offline forward? We were formerly using the SOAA standard, but decided together with Nedap, primion, dorma+Kaba Group, Deister, ACS and others to found the OSS Association and use our combined industry leadership position to drive open standards like the OSS Standard Offline. We are already working with colleagues to take industry open standards beyond offline components, and into more areas of this exciting, fast-growing market.
Which ASSA ABLOY solutions are compatible with the new standard? The OSS Standard Offline was implemented into the Aperio® firmware platform. In this way, we ensure all battery-powered Aperio® access control products — including cylinders, escutcheons and handles — support this functionality across the EMEA region now, and in the future.
What do you consider the major benefits of the new standard for facility and security managers?
Interoperability is critically important for any end-user investing in new or upgraded access control. They need to plan for eventualities they may not even see yet, and open standards allow them to do that. Ending reliance on a single, proprietary solution makes installed access control more flexible. You can add a new building, for example, and bring its access control into the existing system seamlessly.
Customers increasingly understand these advantages. In "The Wireless Access Control Report 2018"*, a majority of security professionals polled say it is "very important" (58%) that access control support open standards like the OSS Standard Offline in order to be flexible and future-proofed. A huge majority (91%) said it was at least "somewhat important".
The future is open.
Ruben Brinkman, Alliance Manager at Nedap Security Management
Which Nedap OSS Standard Offline solutions are currently available?
The AEOS platform adheres to all the latest OSS–SO standards, meaning all current (and future) offline locks and updaters that also adhere to these standards seamlessly communicate with the Nedap system. That's the beauty of it. Organizations secured by AEOS are therefore very flexible in choosing their offline lock solutions.
Thinking about your major new installation at Hospital Maria Middelares, in Belgium, what benefits did choosing OSS–SO devices bring to the project?
Within the premises of the new AZ Maria Middelares Hospital, 700 doors were equipped with battery-powered offline Aperio® locks and connected to the Nedap access control system. As one of the founders of the OSS Association, Nedap's security platform AEOS allows for seamless integration with other OSS–SO solutions such as Aperio® wireless access control. The joint solution between ASSA ABLOY and Nedap has not only secured Maria Middelares, but the scalability and cost-effectiveness of it has also made the hospital future-proof and ready to grow.
Ray Phillips, Managing Director at ACS Ltd.
From an integration point of view, how does your business and your customers benefit from adopting the OSS Standard Offline?
As the manufacturer of an access control system that incorporates both software and hardware elements, we find an increasing amount of our development resource is consumed by adding to and updating third-party integrations. The business benefit to us is clear: OSS Standard Offline has meant our dev team can concentrate on enhancing our solution, instead of playing catch-up with third-party APIs that only benefit a small number of customers. The business benefit to our customers is that we can offer increased choice and the protection of a non-proprietary, open standards–based solution.
What integration plans do you have for devices that meet the new standard?
None! This is the main attraction of open standards. When new compatible locking products become available, there should be little or no work for us to do, save for some validation testing and documentation.
One example is the recently launched H100 Aperio® wireless door handle from ASSA ABLOY. The entire development lifecycle of this product happened post-OSS but, because the firmware complies with the open standard, our systems support it already.

Colley retires from Consumer Credit Counseling Services
Mary Mayle
marycmayle@gmail.com
One day not long ago, Consumer Credit Counseling Service President H.B. "Sonny" Colley happened to run into a former client, an 82-year-old woman who, when he offered a handshake, grasped his hand in both of hers, then bent down and kissed it.
"You don't know what you have done for me," she said with tears in her eyes.
"Now I can pick up the phone when my children call instead of being afraid of who might be on the other end."
It was one of the most humbling and gratifying experiences of his 12 years at the helm of CCCS in Savannah, Colley said.
"I'm a person who likes people and likes helping people," said Colley, who retired from the nonprofit agency on Dec. 31. "To be able to do something that makes a difference in someone's life isn't a job, it's a blessing."
The story doesn't surprise Colley's friend and business associate, Marjorie Young.
"I can't tell you how many times I've been around town with Sonny when people would come up and tell him how grateful they were for his help," Young said. "Most of them say they'd still be buried in debt if not for CCCS."
Mary Bell knows how they feel.
Eight years ago, Bell lost her longtime job and her mother - whom she had been caring for - all in a span of less than two weeks.
By the time she recovered from the resulting tailspin, Bell was nearly $30,000 in debt. She turned to CCCS, which helped her develop a five-year plan to get out of debt. Three years later, she was debt-free and preaching the gospel of smart money management.
Today, she serves on the board of CCCS, helping to guide the organization that helped her.
It's an organization, she says, that will miss Colley's leadership.
"He recognized the perspective a former client could offer and challenged me to give back," she said. "He was always looking ahead, planning for the future. That's why the organization has grown so."
Much of Colley's influence has been felt through the workshops he and his staff conduct for businesses, schools and other organizations.
"While we do a lot of one-on-one debt counseling, our main mission has always been education and that's where the workshops come in," he said.
Under Colley's leadership, the number of CCCS workshops has grown from around 20 a year to more than 200.
He's especially proud of those that help young people stay out of the credit-card trap in college and beyond.
"That's something that's so badly needed," he said. "We see way too many young people just out of school who don't even realize the consequences of the debt they've accumulated until they start that first job and find that their wages are being garnished.
"They really don't know how they got there or how to get out. That's where the importance of education comes in."
Which leads to another thing Colley is especially proud of:
"Of all the people we've counseled, we've had very few repeat offenders," he said.
"Every person who walks into our offices walks out with a financial plan and corresponding budget. They know what they need to do to get out of debt. And, once they know, they don't go back."
Although he officially retired last month, Colley agreed to stay on through the end of January to help new president John Wills make the transition.
After this month is over, the Savannah native who has spent more than four decades in banking and finance here plans to take his new RV out for a few test runs, with the eventual goal of seeing the country.
"I'll start out slow, but I've got Wyoming and Maine in my sights for the not-too-distant future," he said.
Will he really be able to just walk away?
"I don't know," he said, laughing. "I'm sure if I'm ever needed around here all they'll have to do is call."

This unusual looking truck is one of two sold to the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1958. The model BF-16-FL (Full-Pack) features side forks and two 6-1/4" cylinders that operate the packer blade. These Bowles full-pack models were listed as having telescopic packing cylinders, but this short-bodied version may have been able to make use of single-stage rams instead.
Because of the unusual design of the tailgate and body (bisected at an angle), the blade does not travel the entire length of the body; it was only necessary that it reach the rear edge of the floor to unload. Any refuse trapped in the tailgate would fall out when it was hydraulically raised. This was an ingenious way of shortening the length of the cylinders needed to eject the load. Capacity was 25 cubic yards.

IF both Peak and Peak B are present this works, however, it only works if Peak A and Peak B are present which isn't always the case.
How can I modify the expression so it outputs a result even if Peak A is not detected/integrated?
I have also tried using the intelligent reporting to achieve the same calculation using variables and aggregators and I have the same problem in that both peaks need to be present for the sum to work and output a value.

After buying a resale flat, there are several conditions you need to take note of. Read on to find out more.
The MOP starts from the day your flat purchase is completed.
If you and your spouse each own a flat and wish to dispose of both flats to get an HDB resale flat using the Top-Up Grant, the MOP may be waived for 1 flat to allow you to sell it in the open market. The other flat can be transferred to eligible family members or persons.
You must dispose of your existing HDB flat (if any) within 6 months of buying a resale flat.
A resale levy needs to be paid when you buy or take over ownership of another subsidised flat.
When you sell the flat bought using a CPF Housing Grant, all of the CPF monies (including the CPF Housing Grant) used for the purchase of that flat will need to be returned to your CPF account.
When you get a Proximity Housing Grant for buying a flat with or near to your parents'/ married child's home, your parents/ married child must remain residing within 4 km of your flat throughout the MOP.
The parents/ married child must endorse an undertaking in the HDB Resale Portal.
SC/ SPR households that received a lower CPF Housing Grant can apply for the Citizen Top-Up of $10,000 when the SPR family member takes up Singapore Citizenship, or when they have an SC child. You must apply for the Citizen Top-Up within 6 months of being eligible for it.
We have different eligibility schemes under which you can buy an HDB resale flat.
Here are some resources to help you plan your finances before your flat purchase.


The staff were always friendly and caring and often went out of their way to do anything they could to help. I was particularly impressed by how welcome they made me feel when I first came to Camino Recovery. Family week was a huge emotional rollercoaster, but I found the staff so helpful and professional throughout and very sensitive to my needs around my dad. I have had the pleasure of a great bedroom, clean and spacious, and the views are amazing.
The food was great and a different variety of things every day. Camino Recovery is a place that I would recommend to anyone. There is something incredibly special about it and I will never forget my time here. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me begin my journey.

Home/Nation/20 minutes – If you want to have a baby again, you have to undergo a DNA test
20 minutes – If you want to have a baby again, you have to undergo a DNA test
switzerland August 28, 2018 Nation Leave a comment
It is an inconspicuous window in the hospital Einsiedeln – since 17 years mothers can place their newborns in the window anonymously. A delay of three minutes triggers an alarm in the hospital. On Sunday at 11.24 am this happened for the 14th time. In the so-called baby window, a healthy girl born on the same day had given birth. He is 44 centimeters long and weighs 2.8 kilos.
As always, a midwife took the child. Then a pediatrician provided medical care. The child stays in the hospital for seven to ten days before finding a temporary foster family.
«Touch each time»
"It's always moving for the staff to accept a baby," says Mirjam Panzer, spokeswoman for the hospital. The baby window was used for the last time in July 2016. Forty-four babies are happily happy to date. " It is always hoped that the parents will come forward. According to Panzer, a provisional name is chosen for the child in the hospital. This usually takes over the authority for protection of children and adults (Kesb).
The Kesb Ausserschwyz was immediately informed of the latest case. A guardian takes over the rights and duties that are usually assigned to the parents of the child.
40 percent of parents report
The biological parents have the right to reclaim the child until the adoption. This can be done at the earliest after a year of care and education by the future parents.
According to Mario Häfliger, head of the KESB Ausserschwyz in Pfäffikon, 40 percent of the people who have brought their child into the baby window have been reported to date. By means of a DNA test it will then have to be clarified whether it really concerns the biological parents: "We will look,
why they have decided to take this step and what is best for the child. "The subsequent procedure is then clarified in cooperation with the parents in the interests of the child.
«Mothers have extreme needs»
The Einsiedler Baby Window is the first to set up and finance Swiss aid for mother and child (SHMK). This was followed by facilities in Bern, Davos GR, Olten SO, Zollikon ZH, Bellinzona, Basel and Sion. Dominik Müggler, Chairman of the Board, says they should help to prevent child murders or exposures: «The mothers are in extreme need. No woman chooses lightly. "Mothers often succeeded in preventing someone from finding out about pregnancy and surreptitiously:" They think that a baby has no place in their lives or is not accepted by their environment. "
Two babies are back with the mothers
So far, 22 newborns have been delivered in baby windows throughout Switzerland. According to Müggler, the age of 14 in Einsiedeln is related to the age of the baby window: "It has proven itself, many mothers think their child is in good hands, but that also applies to all other baby windows." the 40 percent of women who have reacted to date have two brought back their child. "The rest just wanted to leave the child with information about themselves."
It is very concerned that these children come to good adoptive parents. The same applies to the first child who was in the baby room in September 2002 and now celebrates his 16th birthday: "We know he is doing well in the adoptive family." Müggler would be happy if one day baby boy went to report to SHMK.

A: There are 2 main causes for this.

*

*A bad/corrupt JAR file in your classpath.

*The JVM built-in URL caching getting in the way.

For a bad/corrupt JAR file, you'll have to isolate that on your own, figure out which one it is. Maybe by just unjaring all of them one by one till you find the problematic one.
As for the JVM URL caching, this seems to cause problems with dynamic classloaders like OSGi or hot-deploy scenarios the most.
For this scenario, you can tell jetty to set the URLConnection.setUseCaches(boolean) for each URLConnection attempt of its own.
To disable the JVM caches, add the following snippet of XML to your etc/jetty.xml
<Set class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.resource.Resource"
     name="defaultUseCaches">false</Set>

A: You don't need to test all files to ensure the correctness of them. Just put a break point at java.util.zip.ZipFile.ensureOpen(ZipFile.java:632) and check the name field in ZipFile class: private final String name

A: I had the same problem after deploying jenkins war; all I had to do was to restart the server after the deploy.
Hope it helps.

A: This issue can also occur if you are doing any of your own reflection in that code path.

A: I was having the same issue because of the actual WAR being corrupt. Try rerunning mvn clean install and redeploy.

A: I had the same problem, after deleting all .jar files and build the path to all .jar file once again. Now it's working properly

Discussion in 'Strength & Conditioning Discussion' started by Rip-Rabbo, Apr 18, 2008.
I'm currently doing my country's military service in the military police, and can only get to the gym every other week or so.
Any advice for this kind of situation? Would it be possible, or smart, to skip some rest days to get in more work for the week? To lift five times a week or so, and then take the week off, or to train in longer sessions.
I suppose any lifting is better than none, but how much of a hindrance do you think the mandatory week off will be?
Can you do body weight exercises and conditioning on the off weeks?
If so I would lift a regular schedule when you can get to a gym and do conditioning work the other times. You won't get super strong, but you should maintain strength and maybe get in better condition.
I suppose I could get some conditioning workouts done, but it's a pretty tight schedule of guard duty during the off weeks.
check out the books on rossboxing.com: Infinite Intensity & Never Gymless. Many good workouts in there that only take 20 - 30 minutes but will have you gasping for air.
I feel for you man, also being in the military quite often you get screwed over when it comes to keeping a regular weights schedule.
... a broken rowing machine, 3 green mats, a bench but no weights and a twenty kilo power bag. Not exactly world class fitness facilities.
I was in a similiar situation where I'd have five weeks where I didn't have anything to do but lift weights, then five weeks where I couldn't. I'd make good progress, then have five weeks off and have to start pretty much all over again. So I'd just start with my weights a little heavier than the start of the last five weeks. I figured even adding 5 kilos to my lifts every ten weeks was better than nothing. At least with a week on, week off you won't detrain so much, and slow progress is better than no progress.
Would you be able to get up an hour earlier and lift then? That way you wouldn't be lifting right before going to bed - I dont' know about you but that always makes it hard for me to sleep.
You have the oppurtunity to try some experimentation. I like the idea of lifting every day one week, and taking the next week off. This would be like a weekly version of the dual factory theory of training, where you over reach, then rest, to experience greater supercompensation than if you trained, rested, trained, rested without ever over reaching. Train hard one week, so hard that by the end of the week you are tired, unrecovered, and weaker than you were in the beginning of the week. Then rest the next week and make sure you can get adequate nutrition and sleep.
A full body routine would be best in this situation. If you do a split, then the exercises you do at the end of the week would suffer. Pick a few basic lifts and work them every day. Maybe start lighter on monday, heavier on tuesday and try to peak on wednesday, then try to get the same weights thurs and friday even though fatigue might cause a drop in performance. This drop is what you want. It means you've worked hard enough to over reach, and the rest the next week should allow major supercompensation.
Have any of you guys tried similar routines before? How much of a workload per workout would you recommend?
I guess the best would be just get in there and try it out, though. Thanks for the replies, it's much appreciated.
Yep. The above routine was really an example thrown together without much thought. Never really planned to deadlift *that* much.
Things might not be so bad, one week of low-medium rep heavy lifting. The next week focusing high right push ups, abs and conditioning stuff, maybe go for long runs and what not.


As delegations from around the country are about to come together in Orlando for the Convocation of Catholic Leaders, the Bishops of the United States invite all the baptized to examine the challenges that exist and realistically and joyfully move forth as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. The Bishops remind us in Living as Missionary Disciples: A Resource for Evangelization that "we become missionary disciples when we take our encounter with Jesus Christ out into the world" (LMD, 17).
The way that we go forth will differ, but each of the baptized is sent from the community of faith to accompany our brothers and sisters, especially those who are on the "peripheries." Pope Francis reminds us that "each Christian and every community must discern the path that the Lord points out, but all of us are asked to obey his call to go forth from our own comfort zone in order to reach all the 'peripheries' in need of the light of the Gospel" (EG, 20).
This discernment is exactly what the Bishops of the United States are asking all the baptized to do and is one of the main reasons for the Convocation of Catholic Leaders. "Living as Missionary Disciples: A Resource for Evangelization serves as a road map for leaders and provides principles of evangelization and missionary discipleship, with resources designed for pastoral leaders to develop, enhance, and review their own local strategies to create an evangelizing parish" (LMD, 3).
Please pray for all those who participate in the Convocation of Catholic Leaders and may we all recognize and live our call to be missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.

You must watch these AMAZING movies!
By ASEEM CHHABRA
January 11, 2020 12:26 IST
The stars were there.
For a small festival in its fourth year, the International Film Festivals and Awards Macao brings quite a few global film personalities to promote their films.
French actress Juliette Binoche was on the top of the list of glamorous celebrities with her new film The Truth, directed by the Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters).
Also representing Japan was master of horror and genre cinema Takashi Miike with his 103rd film, First Love.
The gorgeous young actress Lily James (Downton Abbey, Yesterday) held a master class.
India had a presence at this festival held in a city better known for gambling in large shining casinos. Bhumi Pednekar was one of the eight stars to accept Asian Stars: Up Next award, part sponsored by Variety. Previous stars from India have been Rajkummar Rao and Zaira Wasim.
This year also saw an Indian film in the competition section: Gitanjali Rao's critically acclaimed animation work, Bombay Rose.
Aseem Chhabra picks 10 fascinating films he watched in Macao -- a blend of Asian, independent, Hollywood projects and even a 66-year-old classic Japanese film that still stands the test of time.
Balloon, China/Tibet
Balloon premiered at Venice and then played at the Toronto International Film Festival.
A lovingly narrated Chinese film set in Tibet, it follows the lives of a shepherding family living in tough terrain. But everyone, including the elderly father, his son, a wife and three children, seem content.
When the old man dies, the family starts to believe his daughter-in-law is pregnant with his reincarnated soul.
But China has a one-child policy. A fourth child would mean hefty fines imposed on the family.
Cultures, laws and marriages are tested and it is hard to find a winner.
There are other subplots, including a heartbreaking tale of high school lovers who meet years later amid changed circumstances.
Director Pema Tseden film's greatest charm is in capturing the daily lives of the families living in a remote part of China, the way they eat and drink, the play the kids play, and the way they handle births and death.
Buoyancy, Australia
An Australian production and its entry for the Best Foreign Language film at the Oscars (it didn't make the short list), Director Rodd Rathjun's Buoyancy takes us into the world of modern day slavery -- a group of Cambodian men and teenagers stuck on a Thai fishing boat where long work hours and poor living conditions define their daily lives.
The protagonist of the film is 14-year-old Chakra (Sarm Heng), naïve, quiet and scared when we first meet him.
But as days and weeks pass on, Chakra decides to stop being a victim and his sense of self-preservation takes control of him. He works for nasty oppressive bosses and realises that to survive he would have to become like them.
Using local Khmer and Thai languages, the powerful film is a reminder that all is not well in the modern world where human beings continue to be mistreated and kept as slaves.
The Domain, Portugal
Domain was Portugal's entry at the Oscars for Best Foreign Language film, but didn't make the short list.
Director Tiago Guedes's film follows a large landowning family. Tracing the last quarter of the 20th century, the nearly three-hour film tracks key events in Portugal's recent history and the parallel narratives of the Fernandes family.
Albano Jeronimo, a charismatic actor, plays landowner Joao Fernandes.
He is a complex character -- caring towards his worker to the extent that he will put up a big fight for their rights, but he cheats on his wife and ends up messing a lot of people's lives.
Playing like an epic saga, even while at times it focuses on small family matters, Domain feels like an engrossing novel, the kind one feels hard to put down.
Family Members, Argentina
In his second feature, film-maker, Mateo Bendesky weaves a heartbreaking story of teenage siblings Lucas (Tomas Wicz) and Gilda (Laila Maltz) stuck in a remote coastal town where they have come to fulfill their dead mother's last wish.
Gorgeously shot in cold, winter, days, with overcast skies and deserted beaches, Family Members has them fight and yet express fondness for each other.
Having done the task, they are unable to head back to the big city since the bus company is on strike.
As time passes by, our protagonists keep themselves occupied.
Gilda practices tarot card readings and other forms of spiritual healing.
Meanwhile, being lost in an unknown town gives Lucas the chance to explore his sexuality.
First Love, Japan
Japanese genre master and one of the most prolific film-makers of our times, Takashi Miike has made iconic films from horror (Audition, the 1999 film that made him a recognisable name in the US) to samurai action (Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai and Blade of the Immortal).
He has also made musical comedies and children's fantasies.
For his 103rd film in 28 years, Miike is back with an action drama set in the world of Japanese yakuza.
First Love stars Masataka Kuboto playing Leo, a boxer who may be dying, a young prostitute Monica (Sakurako Konishi), a ruthless assassin, a one-armed triad boss, a huge bag of drugs, lots of guns, wild shootouts, blood and gore.
It may not be a film for everybody, but First Love manages to balance romance and excessive violence and I found it a lot of fun to watch.
Give Me Liberty, US
Winner of the best film award at Macao, this delightfully crazy comedy also won recognition at the Jerusalem and Tallgrass festivals.
It has been winning hearts of filmgoers from the time it played at the Sundance Film Festival.
In Give Me Liberty, Vic (Chris Galust) is a medical transport driver in Milwaukee, who starts his day by waking up his grandfather.
But instead of transporting his regular clients like Tracy (Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer), a young woman with ALS, he ends of risking his job shuttling a group of rowdy Russian seniors to a funeral.
The most unexpected things happen along the way making Director Kirill Mikhanovsky's film a boisterous affair and thoroughly enjoyable.
Judy, UK
Judy is being referred to as Renee Zellweger's comeback film as she took a break from acting between 2010 and 2016.
In Director Rupert Goold's (True Story, 2015) second feature Judy, Zellweger plays the last months in the life of the iconic Hollywood star Judy Garland.
By 1968, Garland had lost a custody battle for her two young children, who ended up staying with their father Michael Sidney Luft in California.
Garland's older daughter Liza Minelli was already an adult.
Goold's film covers Garland's arrival in London and her sold-out concerts.
Zellweger, almost unrecognisable with black hair and a thinner face, throws herself into the character. Her entire body and being becomes Garland, addicted to alcohol, mourning her separation with her children and obsessed with her stardom.
It is a performance that has an Oscar written all over, and almost all Academy Awards watchers are hedging their bets in Zellweger's favour.
Judy is engaging, moving and a must watch. You will surely be driven to tears by the end.
Tokyo Story, Japan
Tokyo Story, a 63-year-old Japanese classic directed by the master film-maker Yasujirō Ozu, played in the Director's Choice section at the Macao festival.
In the section, well-known film-makers -- in this case, Romanian Director Cristian Mungiu (4 months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) -- can select their favourite classic film, which is then presented to the festival audience.
If the word gentle was used to describe a film, Tokyo Story deserves it the most.
The quiet, heartfelt, story of an elderly couple played by Chishu Ryu and Chieko Higashiyama who take a long trip from rural Japan to Tokyo to visit their two married children and their widowed daughter-in-law. Along, the way they stop over to meet another son.
Initially, the children seem happy to see the elderly parents, but the visit disrupts their lives and soon, it becomes a burden for them.
It is terribly sad to see the sweet old man and his wife being tossed from home to home and almost being made to the feel that they are not wanted.
There is something so universal in Ozu's Tokyo Story, In 2012, Sight and Sound listed it as one of the best films of all time.
Seeing the film on the big screen of Macao's lovely art-house theatre Cinematheque Passion was a treat.
The Truth, France/Japan
Japan's Hirokazu Kore-eda has been slowly gaining a lot of international attention as one of the world's leading film-makers, someone who focuses on human conditions in his deeply moving films.
For his newest film The Truth, Kore-eda took a big risk in making a film out of Japan, moving his narrative to France and working with three of the world's best actors: Catherine Denueve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke.
Denueve plays an actress and writer. Binoche is her daughter who has grown up under the shadow of an overbearing and hugely talented mother.
At times The Truth seems a bit strained.
The director worked in a language, culture and milieu that he was not very familiar with.
But the film is worth seeing to understand the trajectory of Kore-eda's career.
The film also gives us a chance to see some of the best performances of the year, especially from Binoche whose occasional look of disappointment will break your heart.
Wild Goose Lake, China
Chinese Director Yi'nan Diao won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 2014 for his moody thriller Black Coal, Thin Ice.
His new film Wild Goose Lake reflects on a world of tortured souls, lovers separated, small time rival gangsters, rain drenched nights, and hotels lit with colorful neon lights.
It is most unlike Communist China with its bustling economy, and global businesses that we read about. Rather it is a very dark moody world at times, inspired by the American noir films of the 1950s.
Zenong Zhou (Ge Hu) is a small time crook. During the a competition with a rival gang over stealing motorcycles, he accidentally kills a cop.
Suddenly=, there is a massive police hunt for him.
He knows his time is limited, but he has one last wish -- the reward money for his capture should be given to his wife and child who he has not seen for years.
There is deep sadness in the film, but Wild Good Lake also has a sexy tone, quite similar to the mood in Wong Kar-wai's films.
It is worth repeated viewings (I have already seen it twice) and is a rich experience for the senses.

RICS Run-Off: Adequate & Appropriate is now Defined, but at what cost?
Published 29 enero 2020
For many years RICS and its members have wrestled with the difficulties of obtaining run-off cover; difficulties magnified following the global financial crisis as firms found themselves stuck between a rock (unaffordable renewal premiums attaching to valuation activity) and a hard place (an inability to procure run-off cover on any and/or sustainable terms).
Following a number of consultations, RICS has now redefined the relevant Rule of Conduct (Rule 9) and revised the Minimum Terms wording. The precise wording is set out, for completeness, at the foot of this article.
One of the major changes is the dilution of the 'adequate and appropriate' requirement, something which has always been open to interpretation, in so far as consumer claims are concerned. In its place an equivocal and prescriptive obligation arises for both RICS members and Approved Insurers alike.
Consumers are defined as 'any natural person acting for purposes outside their trade, business or profession' and RICS members are now required to have an aggregate £1m limit of cover for six years following the expiry of the PI insurance policy in force at the date of cessation. The door is, however, left open for some degree of subjectivity as the requirements go on to say that RICS members 'may deem that it is adequate and appropriate' for such cover to be on an each and every claim basis.
The other major change is that the Minimum Terms wording has also been changed so that it automatically provides the £1m aggregate cover for six years; akin (if not identical) to the provisions of the minimum terms applicable to those writing solicitors PI business.
The pre-existing status quo has been maintained for non-consumer claims, i.e. all claims which do not satisfy the consumer claims definition. In other words, firms are required to simply have adequate and appropriate run-off cover for a minimum period of six years following cessation.
Finally, there is a Run-Off Pool to be administered by the Assigned Risks Pool as a catch-all; with the ability to offer it whenever a firm on cessation is unable to obtain such cover from either their incumbent insurer or the open market. Obviously, this will only apply to non-consumer claims and consumer claims where the automatic cover is deemed inadequate.
These changes have been trailed as making it easier for member firms to satisfy the run-off requirements. The reality, in our view, is potentially somewhat different. From the non-consumer perspective there is no change but the new consumer claims provisions could make an already difficult situation worse.
Why? Until now, firms have not had to pay for run-off cover until it is actually needed, i.e. when they cease to operate as a regulated business. The changes are likely to bring the cost of procurement forward as there will be an inevitable cost to the provision of an automatic six year £1m aggregate limit and that cost will no doubt be factored into the cost of current renewal premiums.
Many firms are currently suffering from the relatively flat market conditions of late and, at least for now, there seems to be little evidence of any post-Brexit boost in activity. It is bad enough that in such an environment firms are finding that drastically reduced capacity has created a fairly hard market, worse still if the changes have merely served to add a further slice of cost on top to cater for the automatic run-off change. The risk is that, for some at least, this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and results in closures and/or market consolidation. So the desire to easy the procurement of run-off might inadvertently make it hard for firms not wishing to close to actually continue.
The danger for Insurers is that if that does happen prior to renewal of an existing policy pre-1 April 2020, they might be unwittingly providing run-off for free if additional premium was not levied for renewals arising after the changes became effective from 1 April 2019.
RICS Rules of Conduct for Firms : Rule 9 now provides the following text relevant to run-off cover:
"To ensure that firms, members and their clients are not exposed to financial detriment in the period following a firm ceasing to trade, RICS requires firms to obtain fully retroactive run-off cover. The minimum policy requirements are:
For consumer claims
For a consumer (any natural person acting for purposes outside their trade, business or profession) claims, the requirement is for a limit of £1,000,000 in all for a period of six years from the expiry date of the policy in force at the time of cessation. RICS' minimum policy wording will automatically provide this coverage.
RICS members may deem that it is adequate and appropriate for run-off for consumer claims to be an on an 'each and every claim' basis. RICS would expect run-off on this basis to be a maintained for a minimum period of six-years from the cessation of the practice. It may be arranged and paid for on an annual basis, provided that in the event of the policy not being renewed, a minimum limit of £1,000,000 in all for a period of six years from the expiry date of the policy in force at the time of cessation is maintained.
For non-consumer claims
The requirement is for firms to have adequate and appropriate run-off, but RICS would expect run-off to be a maintained for a minimum period of six years from the cessation of the practice. Run-off for commercial activity may be arranged and paid for on an annual basis."
Section F of the RICS Approved Minimum Wording now states that:
"In the event that the PRACTICE ceases during the POLICY PERIOD and has not obtained succeeding insurance which complies with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors approved minimum professional indemnity policy wording and Professional Indemnity Requirements Version 4 with effect from 01 April 2019, this policy will extend to indemnify the INSURED for any CLAIM or CLAIMS made against the INSURED by any natural person acting for purposes outside his trade, business or profession and arising from errors or omission of the INSURED prior to the PRACTICE ceasing for an additional period of six years from the day immediately following the expiry date as stated in the schedule (The Run-off Period).
The INDEMNITY LIMIT for Section F. Run-off Cover shall be GBP 1,000,000 any one claim and in the aggregate for the run-off period stated above.

Phoenix Lands!
By vhughes on May 26, 2008.
After a 10-month, 420-million-mile journey, NASA's Phoenix probe touched down on Mars' northern Arctic Circle at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time Sunday, becoming the first to ever successfully reach a polar region of the Red Planet. And boy are the ScienceBloggers excited!
For the next three months, Phoenix will dig into the soil to find out if its composition is--or was ever--suitable for life.
Humans have wondered about finding life "out there" for millennia. What do you think--is it possible?

Google Searches For Its Soul
Jon Picoult
What happens when a company decides to step back from one of the core principles underpinning its customer experience? Google may well find out in the near future.
The company is reportedly exploring a return to the Chinese market by deploying a censored search engine that adheres to restrictions imposed by the Chinese government.
This would be a big reversal for Google. Back in 2010, the company was lauded for taking a stand against Chinese censorship and making the highly principled decision to exit one of the world's largest consumer markets. (See how we described that decision at the time, in this previous WaterRemarks blog post.)
Google's decision back then (and any reversal, if it happens, now) are meaningful given the cornerstones of its brand experience, outlined by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they established the company in 1998.
The brand purpose they articulated for Google was simple and inspiring: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." The unofficial motto they embraced for the firm was a bit more direct: "Don't be evil."
As the company has matured, however, it has struggled to synchronize that idealistic charter with the realities of growing a trillion-dollar business.
That internal crisis of conscience was on full display this past June when Google, under pressure from employees (some of whom cited the "Don't be evil" mantra), backed away from its artificial intelligence work with the U.S. military (technology which might, for example, help make drone strikes more deadly).
Interestingly, around the same time, the firm quietly de-emphasized its "Don't be evil" motto by removing it from the preface of its corporate Code of Conduct.
Then, earlier this month, came the news that Google might return to China and actually restrict the free flow of information by enabling censorship controls.
For Google customers and employees who loved what the company stood for, these developments are no doubt troubling. A return to China would certainly give the appearance that Google is compromising one of its core customer experience principles, effectively capitulating to a regime that some regard as autocratic and, yes, evil.
The realists among you may argue that Google simply has no choice – that, as a for-profit institution, the company can't afford to walk away from China, the world's largest internet market.
Let's be honest… has any company in the history of the world ever forgone billions of dollars in revenue just to stay true to its brand purpose?
Well, actually, yes!
Southwest Airlines (which, like Google, is perennially ranked among the best companies in customer experience) was founded with the express purpose of democratizing the skies – offering an economical but pleasant air travel alternative that, in the company's own words, "gives people the freedom to fly."
Southwest's unwavering commitment to that principle has guided its actions for the past half-century – including, in recent years, its rejection of baggage fees.
Despite seeing its competitors rake in over $4 billion in revenue from those fees, Southwest has refused to abandon its "bags fly free" policy, even in the face of intense Wall Street pressure.
In a 2015 interview, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly responded to critics, noting that "Southwest would lose a billion dollars if we started doing those things."
Why? Because a simple and economical travel experience is a hallmark of the Southwest customer experience. It's why many passengers choose to fly the airline in the first place. Start chipping away at those brand cornerstones and you essentially dispense with that which makes Southwest's offering unique and appealing in the marketplace.
Just this past July, on Southwest's quarterly earnings conference call, Kelly reiterated the carrier's aversion to baggage fees. "I don't think we need to change the essence of what Southwest Airlines is to still find opportunities to drive revenues," he explained. (Since baggage fees were first introduced by U.S. carriers in 2008, Southwest's stock has continued to outperform the industry – lending quantitative credence to Kelly's argument.)
Good companies infuse their customer experience with a compelling brand purpose.
Great companies uphold that brand purpose at every turn, even when it requires making really difficult decisions (like Southwest not charging baggage fees, Apple not monetizing its customer data, or CVS not selling tobacco products.)
Time will tell in which category Google resides, as the company contemplates just how far it can bend its brand principles before they become meaningless.
The lesson for our readers, however, is simply this: Purpose-driven, principled brands often enjoy customer experience tailwinds that help endear those companies to their target clientele.
But the process of defining your organization's "soul," of pinpointing your True North, of articulating an authentic, compelling brand purpose – that exercise should not be taken lightly.
Ask yourself: Would you be willing to forgo meaningful amounts of revenue in order to stay true to that purpose? Would you be able to defend such a decision, confident that it would be in the best interest of your company over the long-term (if not the short-term)?
If the answer is "no," then go back to the purpose-defining drawing board. Or, just be honest and acknowledge that yours is a business driven principally by financial factors, as opposed to customer experience considerations.
Either of those two alternatives is far preferable to the more common outcome that many companies stumble into: Defining a lofty brand purpose that makes for good Annual Report copy, but has no bearing on actual business operations.

It's a legal requirement for businesses to pay their employees the NMW for their age group. You must be school leaving age to get the National Minimum Wage and 25 years old to get the National Living Wage.
What happens if an employer isn't paying the National Minimum Wage?
It's against the law to pay employees less than the NMW for their age group, so it's important for businesses to stay up-to-date with the changes.
If reported to HMRC (HM Revenue and Customs) employers can be taken to civil court and fined; this can be up to £20,000 per worker who was underpaid. On top of this, employers who don't pay the fine can be publicly named as well as being banned from being a company director for up to 15 years.

Does being a Dalit woman deny her of basic healthcare facilities in the country? Yes, going by the latest report by the United Nations.
Does being a Dalit woman deny her of basic healthcare facilities in the country? Yes, going by the latest report by the United Nations. As per the report, "Turning promises into action: gender equality in the 2030 Agenda", the average death for Dalit women is 14.6 years younger than her upper caste counterparts. Citing information from a report from the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies in 2013, the report states that a woman's caste in India can decide her exposure to basic amenities and can increase her exposure to mortality for a variety of reasons including health care, inadequate water supply and poor sanitation. The UN report, which comes two-and-half years after the adoption of the 2030 agenda and covers 89 countries, examines the challenges and progress in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals.
As per the report, while the average age for the death of higher caste women was 54.1 years, the same age for Dalit women was 39.5 years. Focussing on the plight of Dalit women in the country, the report says that a gap of 5.48 years remains in the average death age of upper caste and Dalit women.
The report further states that the compounding effect of wealth and location also produces large inequalities in India. For example, a 20-24-year-old young woman from a poor family is likely to get married before the age of 18 as compared to a woman from the higher caste. The report added that lower caste women not attending school is 21.8 times than that of the upper caste women. The likelihood of being poor also depends on whether the woman come from a landless family or belongs to scheduled caste. Hence, her social status and education level prove whether her work for pay is under exploitative working conditions or not.
Covering issues of women from 89 countries, the report says that women and girls constitute 330 million of the poor population in the world. It also states that half of the urban women and girls in developing countries lack the access to basic amenities like sanitation, clean water, and sufficient living area.


It is the first time since 1977 that the state has curtailed senior rights, those that existed before 1914, when the state formally set up its complex water rights system. Rights to more than 1.2 million acre-feet of water have been curtailed.
Chang's ruling could affect "everybody that received a curtailment order," said Stuart Somach, a Sacramento water-law attorney not involved in the case.
Beyond that, experts said the decision could grind the state's drought-management machinery to a halt as regulators are desperate to stretch dwindling supplies through the hot summer months. Instead of issuing curtailment notices to dozens of farmers and other water users en masse, as it has done in recent weeks, the state might have to hold hearings first to sort out their water rights.
"It definitely shows that the legal process probably can't respond as quickly as nature requires it to respond," said Scott Shapiro, a water rights lawyer at the Downey Brand law firm in Sacramento who isn't connected to the case.
A lawyer for one of the plaintiffs said it's crucial that water users have the ability to plead their case before the water board.
Water board officials maintained Friday that the ruling isn't all that significant. Board staff counsel David Rose said the curtailment notices are "informational" in nature, intended to tell water users that supplies aren't available to support their water rights. The board would hold a hearing before issuing any fines or taking other enforcement actions against diversions it considered unauthorized.
"Before anyone is penalized or deprived of anything, there would be a process," he said.
As a result, the board doesn't feel hobbled by the judge's ruling, Rose said. "I don't think, from the board's perspective, there is a practical impact" from the judge's ruling, he said.
The judge, however, said the board's curtailment notices have "coercive" language that goes beyond informational. The notices tell users to "immediately stop diverting water," she said. Recipients of the notices have to go online within seven days and declare "under penalty of perjury that they are no longer diverting water," she said.
Close to a dozen water districts have sued the state in response to curtailment notices, arguing that the water board doesn't have jurisdiction over pre-1914 rights.
Chang didn't address that issue. Rather, the judge's five-page ruling took issue with the state board's decision to curtail the four agencies' water rights "without any sort of pre-deprivation hearing." She ordered further court hearings on the matter July 30.
However the court rules, the dispute highlights the urgent need to determine just how much water is being diverted and how much is actually available during certain times of year, said Jennifer Harder, who teaches water law at University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law. Better data, she said, would allow regulators to make a stronger case when they issue a cutback order.
Such studies are underway, but compounding the challenge for state regulators is that very few senior rights holders who pull water directly from streams and rivers precisely track and report how much they use.

Sending Images
Updated 2 years ago by Robert Schimaneck
Q: In what order will images appear to participants, and can you embed an image in a question?
A: Just like an Ask, Poll, or Speak, an Image will need to be separately programmed and sent by the moderator. This means that an Image will come through to the participants as a separate interaction as a stand-alone picture. It's very common to preface an Image with a Speak, send the Image itself, and then follow-up with a Poll or Ask as needed, just like the picture below.
