There was a time where I was a big fan of romantic movies (It was a dark, melodramatic time). At that time, I knew several lines from different movies and would somehow apply them in real life.
There's one movie I really loved though. It's a 2007 Filipino movie called "One More Chance". Here's the trailer.
I loved that movie and I somehow memorized that "You had me at my best" line. Hell, I wasn't the only one who memorized it as well, as seen here by my friend Belle.
That movie is just filled with memorable lines.

HERE Technologies joins 5G Automotive Association
Posted: 21 November 2019 | Intelligent Transport
HERE's membership sees the company bring its expertise in location intelligence to 5GAA, with 5G technology set to revolutionise connected vehicle services.
HERE Technologies, the global mapping and location platform services, has become a member of the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA).
The 5GAA a is a cross-industry organisation of automotive, technology and telecommunications companies that aim to work together to develop end-to-end solutions for future mobility and transportation services. It currently has 134 members, including its eight founding companies: AUDI AG, BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm Incorporated.
Both HERE and 5GAA align on a vision to build the future of connected mobility. The 5GAA supports the idea that 5G will be best able to carry out critical communications for safer driving, support enhanced V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communications and connected mobility solutions. As a digital mapping and in-car navigation systems service, HERE is said to provide the location intelligence, data and services necessary for automated and autonomous driving.
"Joining the 5GAA signifies our commitment to emerging technologies that will improve mobility around the world," said Edzard Overbeek, CEO of HERE. "5G will usher in the future of the automotive and telecommunications industries by enabling new in-car services, enhanced safety and autonomous driving. HERE will contribute to the 5GAA's mission by providing a rich location context, so these emerging technologies can orient themselves in and navigate through this new world."
"We are excited to welcome HERE into the 5GAA family. The company's expertise in location technology will bring us closer to the next generation of automated vehicle solutions and new mobility technologies," said Christoph Voigt, chairman of 5GAA.

This apprenticeship has been designed specifically for people working in a school and supporting children's learning. The main qualification is designed for apprentices who have some prior experience or have completed a Level 2 Apprenticeship or equivalent. The work role will involve contributing to planning learning activities and promoting the needs of individuals. It is ideal for those looking to progress from working as a general teaching assistant role to a more specialist role. In addition you will study employer rights and responsibilities and personal learning and thinking skills.
This is a course which lasts two years. You will attend college for one day a week to cover the underpinning knowledge and complete your functional skills. Your tutor will set assignments to assess the underpinning knowledge and there will be examinations for functional skills. Your assessor will arrange to see you in your work place to assess your competence. An online portfolio system is used which is accessible to you 24/7.
There are 10 mandatory units which cover various aspects of your job role including supporting learning, safeguarding and schools as organisations. You will also be able to choose a number of optional units which specially relate to your job role.
You will spend 4 days a week in your work setting.
You need patience, understanding, and a strong desire to work with people and good communication skills. You will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for your employer.
Once you have completed this course you may be eligible to work towards a Foundation Degree in Learning Support. You may also consider working towards HLTA status.
You can purchase a text book costing approximately £20.
I've learnt a lot through this course and have greatly extended my knowledge in problem solving and communicating with and working with children and young people. It has also helped develop confidence in my own abilities and it is this confidence and knowledge that I have gained which has enhanced and strengthened my skills in teaching and assisting with children, including on a one-to-one basis."

We have three trustee vacancies and are looking for proactive individuals with professional or lived experience of the support families need when a child has a mental health difficulty, along with some experience of the charity or business sectors.
Parenting Mental Health was set up by Suzanne Alderson after her teenage daughter became depressed and suicidal. It began as a Facebook group in September 2016, with a goal to connect and support parents of children with poor mental health. Since then it has attracted over 23,000 active members.
Using digital channels and programs Parenting Mental Health now empowers, skills, and supports tens of thousands of parents to successfully navigate each stage of their child's mental illness, and to become stronger and more resilient families.
We registered as a charity in 2020 and are at an exciting stage in our development.
PMH is a positive caring organisation. We are non judgemental and treat our members with kindness and understanding. We also like to get things done, and want to offer practical support and services to the parents in our community.
Board members need to be able to attend a remote board meeting every 4-6 weeks, as well as at least one in person meet-up (this may be a strategic planning meeting, annual general meeting, or a volunteers meeting - we are planning to run one or two each year). Board meetings usually take place in the evening.
We also ask board members to take on 3-4 hours work on behalf of PMH in between meetings. This will be agreed in advance, in line with the PMH workplan and any priorities that arise. We are particularly interested in attracting members who have solid experience of two of more of the skills and attributes listed below.
• Governance and Leadership
• Legal responsibilities and statutory duties
• Evaluation and impact
• Diversity and inclusion
• Financial management
• IT and data protection
• Experience of serving on a charity board
• Strategic planning
• Fundraising from trusts and charities
• Fundraising from donations and appeals
• Evolving community members in the charity
• Consulting with members and liasing with member led subgroups
• Understanding of mental illness
• Understanding of the mental health system
• Lived experience of supporting a child or young person with poor mental health
• Working directly with vulnerable people
• Recruiting and managing volunteers
• Employing staff
• Developing ideas into projects
• Digital services
• Running regional or national events
• Communications and external relations
• Press and publicity
• Building partnerships
Please write a supporting statement of no more than 2 sides of A4 outlining the relevant skills and experience that you would bring to the PMH board. If you have a CV please submit that as well.
The closing date is 5pm on Monday 28 February.

We shall be planning our 100th birthday over the next few years!

Up to four Trustees including Honorary Treasurer
City of London, Greater London
Self Management UK supports people experiencing one or more long-term health conditions and is one of the leading providers of self-management structured education support nationally. As we enter our 20th year we have provided self-management support to more than 150,000 people, helping to remove the barriers and challenges having a long-term condition can present. In fact, the past 12 months, our small team of staff and incredible team of volunteers delivered 86 courses to more than 750 people through 516 individual course workshops totalling more than 1500 hours of support.
Our size does not reflect our ability, impact or ambition and having just completed a period of significant transformation, we are looking to recruit a number of Trustees to help deliver the growth of our services and support the development of new exciting programmes of support.
Having established a platform from which to expand and with a commitment to promoting high quality self-management we are also seeking to expand the Board by the appointment of three or more further Trustees, one of whom will be the Honorary Treasurer. The Honorary Treasurer will play a leading role in the oversight of the finances of the Self Management UK.
We would particularly welcome applications from those with knowledge, skills and expertise in:
• communications, influencing, campaigning
• marketing, income generation and business development
• current NHS priorities, commissioning and organisational structures
• (for the Honorary Treasurer role) accountancy and finance, including a recognised accountancy qualification
We anticipate that at least one of our new Trustees will bring direct or family experience of living with a long-term condition. We welcome applications from people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Your time commitment will normally include five Board meetings annually, together with some involvement in committees, plus possibly representing us at occasional events, etc. Recently Board meetings have been held online, but in future some will be held in person, usually in London. Occasional other travel may be needed.
You will serve an initial term of three years to be eligible for re-appointment for one additional term. This is a voluntary position and so not remunerated, although travel expenses can be reimbursed.
How to apply and the selection process
Closing date: Applications should be in by Monday 14 February with the intention of being able to have appointed all trustees by the end of March.
Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement setting out your motivations for applying and how your experience and interests to date meet the person specifications set out in the supporting document.

The Highlands & Islands Students' Association is a student-led charity that represents every student at the University of the Highlands and Islands. It's our role to ensure every student gets the absolute most of out their time at the University and have the opportunity to feed into the future of UHI.
The University is quite far from being traditional university.

HISA is independent from the University. Whilst we receive funding from them, we are clear about our commitment to being a critical friend to the institution and lobbying for the best outcomes for our members, the Students who study at the University in both further education and higher education.

We care for patients wherever and whenever they need us. When life comes full circle, we are there for our community, enabling them to live their life to the full. We believe that hospice care is about life and living, not just death and dying.
For over 30 years we have been providing expert hospice care for people in Merton and Sutton at no charge, aged 18 and over irrespective of their race or religion. We are there for everyone who needs us at the most difficult time of their lives - to hold one's hand and to soothe the soul, not just for the relief of pain.
St Raphael's Hospice was founded and supported for many years by the Daughters of the Cross charity, and became an independent Hospice in autumn 2020. This is an exciting time to become involved with our organisation, as we grow our community offering and local presence.
The Board of Trustees for St Raphael's Hospice and our Board Committees play an important role in setting the strategy for the organisation, and receiving updates on all areas of the Hospice's delivery. The Board and Committees have a welcoming and inclusive ethos and meet regularly throughout the year at our Hospice site in Sutton. We welcome Board members and patients from all backgrounds and communities. Reflecting our history as a Hospice and strong links with the Daughters of the Cross charity, a majority of our Trustees are members of the Catholic faith.
We are looking for a new Trustee to join our Board, and also the HR & Remuneration Committee. This role would be ideal for anyone with knowledge and experience of Human Resources, Recruitment and Professional Development, and we would welcome applications from individuals from the private, public or charity sectors. We would particularly value expertise across the following areas:
Development of organisational training and professional development plans.
Strategic approaches to staff remuneration and reward.
Knowledge of best practice in HR and recruitment
The Board member who is selected will play an important role in providing strategic challenge and support on the development of our Hospice team. The total time commitment involved would be 5 Board meetings and 4 Committee meetings each year.
It is not a requirement to have previous experience on a Board or Committee to apply for this role. For individuals who would be looking to take on their first Board or Committee role, we would provide bespoke induction and mentoring through our staff team and Board.
The successful candidates will need to bring strong interpersonal skills, contribute their expertise, and show commitment to the work and mission of the Hospice. All Board and Committee roles are subject to a DBS check.

What will you be doing?
Being a Trustee is hugely rewarding – there are a lot of benefits for both you and us.

This includes making sure it is financially solvent, well-run and is delivering its stated charitable outcomes for the benefit of our patients, their families and the wider sarcoma community.
We welcome applications from people with different backgrounds, life experiences and career paths. Sarcoma UK is committed to applying values of Diversity and Inclusion in the widest sense.

As a trustee, you can help us in several ways:
provide support with strategic oversight:
relationship building with potential funders, partners, staff and the wider healthcare charity sector;
supporting the Chief Executive and Management Team; and

Fundraising experience

Knowledge of the workings of the NHS and patient services/care (this could be as a patient, family member or healthcare professional)
Experience of working with patients, medical professionals and/or volunteers
You don't need to have experience of charities or governance – knowledge you have gained from other sectors or roles may be just as useful, coupled with energy, enthusiasm and a desire to make a difference. We will support you in your time as a Trustee.
Our vision is a world where everyone affected by sarcoma has the treatment, care and support they need. We want to ensure that all sarcoma patients receive the best treatment, care, information and support available and we want to help create the treatments of the future. We do that by: driving awareness of sarcoma; finding answers through funding sarcoma research; providing info and support to anyone affected by the disease; and campaigning for better treatments and to improve standards of care. You will be a key part of this!

Directors and officers to be liable for contamination on escheated land?
06 Nov 2012 | By Dianne Saxe
What happens to contaminated sites when their corporate owner goes bust? Most of them end up escheating to the province, which is increasingly concerned about costs of managing them.
Now, Ontario's Ministry of Infrastructure is seeking comments on a proposed new management framework for forfeited corporate property. One of the changes would allow the provincial government to impose legacy cleanup costs on anyone who was a director or officer of the corporation in its last two years. Comments are due by December 21, 2012.
Ontario law provides that when a corporation, incorporated under an Ontario statute, is dissolved, any property that it owns at the time of dissolution forfeits to the government of Ontario. This could be a for-profit corporation, a non-profit, a co-operative, a credit union, or a corporation incorporated in other provinces, or outside of Canada, which has land in Ontario. (There is some dispute as to which government gets property of a federally incorporated corporation.)
In most cases, the government of Ontario is unaware when property is forfeited. Title to the real property continues to show the dissolved corporation as the owner. Forfeited properties often come to the attention of the government only when an expensive issue arises such as contamination, health or safety concerns, or squatters. Governments have found themselves left to deal with expensive clean-ups on thousands of sites across the country. One well known example is Giant Mine in the Northwest Territories where the federal government was left with 237,000 tonnes of highly toxic arsenic trioxide dust stored underground when the owner of the gold mine went into receivership. The Northstar chlorinated solvent plume in Cambridge is likely to be the next.
On the other hand, some family companies with historic contaminated sites look at escheat as their best option for avoiding complete ruin.
The Ministry of Infrastructure is responsible for most forfeited corporate property. According to the proposed management framework, the proposed directors and officers liability provision is in line with the polluter pays principle and "would serve as a disincentive to directors and officers of corporations to allow property with legacy issues to forfeit to the government of Ontario and would encourage prudent ownership of corporate property prior to dissolution. It would also support increased corporate accountability by making directors and officers deal with issues associated with forfeited corporate property and would avoid imposing these obligations on the taxpayer."
One problem the proposed change does not take into account is the situation where the director or officer is not responsible for the pollution. Consider, for example, a failing business on land that is already contaminated. New directors may come in to try to turn the business around and institute effective environmental control. Unfortunately they are ultimately unsuccessful and the corporation is dissolved. Under the proposed framework, these directors would be liable for the whole cleanup cost. This could make it very difficult to find anyone willing to take office in such companies, except perhaps for seniors with no assets, and should drive a boom in business for directors and officers' insurance.
A second obvious problem is the potential for conflict with the federal insolvency regime.
MEI says: The proposed changes are being presented for the purpose of obtaining stakeholder feedback and do not represent government policy.
