David Craig Movies
From St. Louis, Missouri
Jack, the Giant Slayer
Je ne sais quoi is a famous French phrase meaning "I don't know what." It's used when you know something, but you can't accurately describe it.
What's missing from Jack, the Giant Slayer? It's hard to say. Je ne sais quoi.
Jack, the Giant Slayer has a stellar cast, cool effects and a classic story (with some fresh tweaks). The trailers and TV spots look great. But the movie lacks that certain something—something that would make it a "must see." Je ne sais quoi.
As it begins, JTGS looks like a family flick for all ages. A bedtime story is shared in separate scenes with a young boy and a young girl. The boy grows up to be Jack. The girl becomes princess Isabelle. Jack goes to town, meets the princess, gets the magic beans and the story takes off. In short order, so does the beanstalk.
Jack is played by Nicholas Hoult, who was tremendous as R in the recent Warm Bodies. Isabelle is played by the gorgeous Eleanor Tomlinson. Ian McShane is the king and Ewan McGregor (good guy) and Stanley Tucci (bad guy) are members of the king's court. Eddie Marsan, who is becoming one of my favorite character actors, also has a small role.
As the story develops, so does the violence. The reasons for the PG-13 rating become obvious. The battles between the earthbound residents and the giants from the sky are epic. The film's climax is especially well conceived. The 3-D is good, if not great. Still, there's something needed to make this film special. Je ne sais quoi.
When you spend $185 million to make a movie, you should deliver a bit more magic to the screen than JTGS does. While the film's accomplishments do amount to more than, pardon the expression, a hill of beans, I was expecting to be dazzled.
Jack, the Giant Slayer is a good, solid, well-made film. You will not walk out of the theater grumbling that you were ripped off. But it falls short of classic. I wish I could tell you exactly why. But I can't quite put my finger on it. Je ne sais… oh, you know.

It's not that people are dying of starvation. But many Americans don't have the food choices that you and I do.
The reasons are many and varied as A Place at the Table points out. The documentary goes to Collbran, CO; Jonestown, MS and Philadephia, PA to show real people and their difficulties obtaining a nutritious diet.
The two school-age girls in Mississippi and Colorado and the young single mom in Philly are the central characters in the film. Their problems, as depicted, are heartbreaking. The single mom, for instance, finally gets a job, but her pay, which disqualifies her for food stamps she had been receiving, is not high enough to feed her two kids and pay for daycare.
A Place at the Table features celebrities. Actor Jeff Bridges offers his thoughts about the nation's food problems and mentions Hidden in America, a TV movie from 1996 that starred his brother Beau as a member of the "working poor."
Top Chef's Tom Colicchio appears to talk about his efforts as a hunger activist. His wife, Lori Silverbush, is co-director of APATT with Kristi Jacobson.
As do many advocacy films, A Place at the Table offers certain statistics and declarations without sufficient attribution. And, ironically, some of the people described as victims of hunger are, in fact, obese.
While the film encourages a variety of government actions to correct shortcomings, it is not an overly political film. Yes, Michelle Obama has a cameo, but APATT does not engage in bashing of any particular party or administration.
The film does takes aim at the US Department of Agriculture's price supports, which APATT claims are inordinately high for commodity crops (corn, soybeans, etc.) but low for growers of more nutritious fruits and vegetables. The result is healthy fruits and veggies are too costly and limited funds (and food stamps) go toward less healthy foods that provide more calories for the buck.
The film's highlights include many upbeat moments: a Colorado church offering a free hot meal each week to any and all, a group of Mississippi school kids learning to prefer honeydew melon as a snack over junk food, the Philadelphia mom sharing her pride in her accomplishments.
A Place at the Table brings attention to vital concerns and offers suggestions for improving conditions in America. But will it reach those persons who can affect change?
In addition to its theatrical run, the movie will be available starting March 1 for download on iTunes. By the way, APATT features cool music from The Civil Wars and T-Bone Burnett.

An attractive couple in a picturesque resort town makes Safe Haven a good-looking movie. It's a sweet love story that has a bit of conflict and ugliness, but not enough to damage the warm glow Safe Haven gives off.
Safe Haven is adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, as were such movies as The Notebook, Dear John and others. Safe Haven is the eighth movie based on a Sparks novel.
Josh Duhamel plays Alex, a likeable widower with two cute kids. He runs a store in a small town in coastal North Carolina where busses stop to let passengers grab a snack and stretch their legs.
One passenger chooses not to get back on the bus, but to stay in town. Katie is played by Julianne Hough, best known for appearances on Dancing with the Stars. Katie is on the run from something, but what she's trying to escape is not revealed immediately.
In the meantime, she gets a waitress job in town and falls in love with the hunky widower.
Yes, Safe Haven is like a Hallmark Channel movie with better writing and acting. It has new love, kids, family, sunny days, rainy days, a trip to the beach, a canoe ride, pleasant locations. Romance is in the air and life is good.
Safe Haven also has the peril element found in Lifetime movies. When Katie's past problems come to call, she and others must confront danger.
Cobie Smulders of How I Met Your Mother fame has a small, not especially glam, role as Katie's neighbor Jo who is always ready with advice and encouragement.
Safe Haven provides a safe haven for moviegoers looking for a more wholesome contemporary romance. No T & A, no bad words, minimal sex, a necessary (for the sake of the plot) bit of violence. No urban scenarios with dance clubs and cool workspaces. No freaks or geeks.
Julianne Hough is a younger, blonder, prettier version of Jennifer Aniston and Josh Duhamel is hunky without being obnoxious about it.
Is Safe Haven just about the perfect Valentine's Day weekend romance movie? Without a doubt, yes.

Beautiful Creatures has many positives including charming lead actors and some big names in the supporting cast. But the story is not that good and the outrageous special effects are over the top (not in a good way).
Set in Gatlin, South Carolina, a fictional small town, the movie touches on witchcraft, curses and strange religious practices. A bit of local Civil War lore and trees laden with Spanish moss add to the southern flavor of the film.
The new kid in town, Lena Duchannes, plots to avert the curse which will change her on her rapidly approaching 16th birthday. She's played by Alice Englert. Alden Erichreich plays Ethan Waite, a high school kid with an engaging smile and tons of charisma. He, of courses, falls hard for Lena.
The cast includes Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Viola Davis. While their talents are considerable and appreciated, their casting seems odd for a movie that aspires to grab some love from the Twilight crowd, now that that franchise is (supposedly) exhausted. Emmy Rossum, however, as Lena's older sister is a perfect addition to the company of players.
Beautiful Creatures is an okay teen love story, perfectly timed for a Valentine's weekend release. And, it's worth repeating: these two central characters have good chemistry and onscreen charm.
But the paranormal/witchcraft elements in Beautiful Creatures are not as compelling as those seen in other such movies. See this creature feature? Eh, maybe wait for the DVD or the cable run.

I like things that go boom.
A Good Day to Die Hard puts NYC policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) in Russia to visit his son Jack (Jai Courtney). Shortly after arriving, John encounters Jack, says a quick hello and gets involved in a spectacular car chase. The chase produces enough vehicle carnage to populate St. Louis' biggest junkyard.
In short order, John learns that Jack is a CIA agent who is trying to get a political prisoner out of Russia. The prisoner wants to bring along his daughter, but the rendezvous with his offspring results in the prisoner's being taken away by bad guys.
Willis maintains his trademark smirk throughout the film, dropping quips almost as frequently as he drops bad guys. There's a bit of father/son bonding as dad helps his kid through some tight spots. Seems Jack has some resentment. He felt his father's work as a cop kept him away from the family too much. At one point during their day of violent mayhem, they mention that they've sort of enjoyed the togetherness, such as it is.
Along with car crashes, A Good Day to Die Hard delivers voluminous amounts of gunplay, featuring automatic weapons that never seem to run out of ammo. The film is bookended by huge explosions: a Moscow courthouse bombing shortly after the opening and a copter crash at the finale. (Hope that's not too much of a spoiler.)
A Good Day to Die Hard does not have a lot of in-your-face anger. Because of its quick pace, there's not a lot of time to build tension. Many longtime fans of the Die Hard movies are not exactly saying Yippee-Ki-Yay in their online comments. But AGDTDH is kinetic, with action aplenty. And many things that go boom.

Looking for a great movie for grownups? Side Effects satisfies! It has a suspenseful story, well told, and compelling characters, well portrayed.
Rooney Mara is Emily Taylor, a twenty-something in NYC who meets Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) after she drives her car into a brick wall. He's a shrink who begins treating her for depression. Channing Tatum plays her sympathetic husband who's just been released from prison where he served time for insider trading.
One of the medications Dr. Banks prescribes for Emily appears to help but has a significant side effect: it causes sleepwalking. When Emily commits a crime, her meds and Dr. Banks are called into question. The situation is complicated by the fact that Dr. Banks is taking money from a drug company for consulting on medications.
Side Effects steps into many timely and topical areas, including mental illness and its treatments. Also within the film's sights is the pharmaceutical industry, as well as doctors who are in cahoots with those companies. After Emily's crime, the blame and the repercussions remain unresolved.
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Dr. Victoria Siebert, a Connecticut psychologist who treated Emily for depression before Dr. Banks. As the story unfolds, her involvement with the drug companies becomes a key plot point.
While there is no doubt that psychotropic drugs have helped many people with mental illnesses function normally, we know that drug companies have marketed products with dangerous (sometimes lethal) side effects. It's easy to throw stones at large organizations that have questionable practices, but not always so easy to determine which individuals should suffer the consequences.
That's the case in Side Effects. Who's the good guy? Who's the bad guy? And who's in that gray area in the middle? See the movie and find out.
Side Effects is directed by Steven Soderbergh, whose movies are always interesting, even when they're not as good as Side Effects. And, as with all his movies, the soundtrack is excellent. Thomas Newman is the music composer.
For Jude Law, this is his best performance in years. His stubble, worn in many scenes, gives him a more mature look. Rooney Mara was excellent in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but that was more of a caricature. In this role, she hits it out of the park as a real woman with real problems. Bravo!

Józef Klink, ps. "Brzeszczot" (ur. 5 stycznia 1888 we Lwowie, zm. 16 marca 1958 w Calgary) – major piechoty Wojska Polskiego, działacz niepodległościowy i społeczny, kawaler Orderu Virtuti Militari.

Życiorys
Urodził się 5 stycznia 1888 we Lwowie, w ówczesnym Królestwie Galicji i Lodomerii, w rodzinie Wojciecha i Anny z Głodowskich. Po wybuchu I wojny światowej od początku sierpnia 1914 służył w oddziałach strzeleckich, a potem wstąpił do Legionów Polskich. Służył Inspektoracie Zaciągu w Grodzisku, następnie w strukturze Polskiego Korpusu Posiłkowego od 27 października 1917 skierowany do Stacji Zbornej Lwów. Kształcił się w szkole podchorążych PKP od lutego 1918.

U kresu wojny w 1918 jako były legionista brał udział w obronie Lwowa w trakcie wojny polsko-ukraińskiej jako podchorąży w Odcinku V, Szkoła Sienkiewicza. 2 grudnia 1918 został przydzielony do Adiutantury Kwatermistrzostwa Naczelnego Dowództwa Wojska Polskiego w Galicji Wschodniej, gdzie miał zorganizować stałą służbę kurierską. Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości został przyjęty do Wojska Polskiego. Został awansowany do stopnia podporucznika przy sztabie dowództwa Frontu w Galicji Wschodniej w czerwcu 1919. W tym stopniu był dowódcą sekcji kurierów w dowództwie Frontu Galicyjsko-Wołyńskiego. W 1921 w stopniu porucznika był oficerem oświatowym w 40 pułku piechoty. Brał udział w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej. 1 czerwca 1921 pełnił służbę w dowództwie 6 Armii. 3 maja 1922 został zweryfikowany w stopniu kapitana ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 czerwca 1919 i 6. lokatą w korpusie oficerów administracji, dział naukowo-oświatowy. W latach 20. i na początku lat 30. był oficerem w kadrze Komendy Miasta Lwów. Był założycielem Podoficerskiego Teatru Świetlnego, powołanego 20 kwietnia 1923 w koszarach Gwardii przy ul. Kurkowej 12, co w opinii społeczności stanowiło datę początkową dla działania Domu Żołnierza Polskiego we Lwowie. W 1924 powołał sekcję podoficerską Domu Żołnierza, która została przekształcona wkrótce w Ogniwo Podoficerów Zawodowych Garnizonu Lwowskiego, pod protektoratem mjr. Zygmunta Cšadka. 12 kwietnia 1927 został awansowany do stopnia majora ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 stycznia 1927 i 5. lokatą w korpusie oficerów administracyjnych, dział naukowo-oświatowy. Na przełomie lat 20./30. sprawował stanowisko referenta oświatowego komendanta miasta Lwów. Pełniąc tę funkcję w garnizonie Lwów został delegatem dowódcy Okręgu Korpusu Nr VI do zarządu okręgowego Polskiego Białego Krzyża we Lwowie, obejmując w nim dział nauczania i w 1930 zorganizował osiem szkół początkowych dla żołnierzy jednostek Wojska Polskiego stacjonujących we Lwowie, w których kierował tokiem nauczania oraz przeprowadzał egzaminy państwowe. W 1931 prowadził we Lwowie kurs dla młodych oficerów-referentów oświatowych. 12 marca 1934 został przeniesiony z korpusu oficerów administracji do korpusu oficerów piechoty. Z dniem 30 czerwca 1934 został przeniesiony w stan spoczynku.

W okresie II Rzeczypospolitej działał społecznie we Lwowie. Zaangażował się w upamiętnienie obrony Lwowa z 1918. Brał aktywny udział uroczystościach upamiętniających obrońców miasta. Był członkiem założonego 22 września 1922 Towarzystwa Badania Historii Obrony Lwowa i Województw Południowo-Wschodnich, w latach 30. był członkiem zarządu głównego oraz komisji naukowej tegoż, pełnił funkcję kierownika biura i archiwum Komisji Naukowej tegoż oraz wraz z mjr. dr. Eugeniuszem Wawrzkowiczem sprawował redakcję Rocznika Towarzystwa, wydawanego od 1936. Był jednym z autorów "Jednodniówki", wydanej z okazji obchodów 10. rocznicy obrony Lwowa. Działał w Związku Obrońców Lwowa, w którym przewodniczył w nim sekcji oświatowo-kulturalnej i pełnił funkcję wiceprezesa. W 1938 wszedł w skład Tymczasowego Komitetu Organizacyjnego Żywego Pomnika Uczczenia Dwudziestolecia Obrony Lwowa. W 1928 wszedł w skład Komitetu Obchodu Imienin Marszałka Józef Piłsudskiego. Działał w organizacjach roztaczających opiekę nad weteranami z terenu województwa lwowskiego, zasiadał w zarządzie Towarzystwa Wzajemnej Pomocy Uczestników Powstania 1863 roku, pełnił funkcję skarbnika w powołanym w 1932 Komitecie Opieki nad Uczestnikami Powstania z r. 1863/4, roztaczającym opiekę nad weteranami z terenu województwa lwowskiego. W 1938 został członkiem wydziału towarzystwa Straży Mogił Polskich Bohaterów we Lwowie.

We Lwowie był członkiem Kapituły Krzyża Obrony Lwowa. Jako przedstawiciel Związku Obrońców Lwowa podczas uroczystości 3 maja 1938 dokonał złożenia wotum w postaci ryngrafu w kościele Matki Boskiej Ostrobramskiej we Lwowie na Łyczakowie, czego był inicjatorem, zaś 21 listopada 1938 przekazał miastu Lwów ewidencję Obrońców Lwowa. Był członkiem Komisji Bibliotecznej Sekcji Wschodniej Zarządu Głównego Towarzystwa Szkoły Ludowej we Lwowie. Był członkiem sekcji propagandowej Komitetu Obywatelskiego Akcji Lwowa na Rzecz Funduszu Obrony Narodowej. 20 września 1938 wygłosił rezolucję podczas manifestacji we Lwowie na rzecz odzyskania śląska zaolziańskiego, Spisza i Orawy.

W połowie lat 30. został ustanowiony przechodni szachowy Puchar im. mjr. Józefa Klinka, o który rywalizowały reprezentacje podoficerów z polskich garnizonów.

Po wybuchu II wojny światowej podczas kampanii wrześniowej był dowódcą II batalionu pułku Obrony Narodowej we Lwowie, dowodzonego przez ppłk. Alfreda Greffnera. Po nastaniu okupacji niemieckiej został aresztowany. Był osadzony w więzieniu Montelupich w Krakowie. 20 sierpnia 1941 został osadzony w niemieckim obozie koncentracyjnym Auschwitz, gdzie otrzymał numer więźniarski 20093. Po ataku Niemiec na ZSRR z 22 czerwca 1941 był zatrudniony w wydzielonej części obozu, tzw. Russische Kriegsgefangene Lager (RKG), gdzie z uwagi na znajomość języków niemieckiego i rosyjskiego, pracował przy spisywaniu dokumentów jeńców radzieckich.

Po zakończeniu wojny pozostał na emigracji. Zmarł 16 marca 1958 w Calgary. Został pochowany na Burnsland Cemetery (sektor T-11-66).

Józef Klink był żonaty z Marią z Modelskich (1891–1974), z którą miał troje dzieci.

An investigation of athletes' and coaches' perceptions of mental ill-health in elite athletes

Biggin, I., Burns, J. and Uphill, M.
Research suggests elite athletes have an equal, or in some circumstances possibly higher, probability of developing mental ill health as the general population, however understanding of these issues amongst athletes and coaches remains largely unknown. The perceptions of mental health problems amongst 19 elite athletes and 16 coaches were explored using two concurrent, three round Delphi surveys and the responses compared. Athletes and coaches expressed different opinions and experiences of mental ill health amongst elite athletes. However, both felt the pressure athletes place upon themselves is a significant contributing factor and that obsessional compulsive tendencies and anxiety may be particularly prevalent. Whilst associated stigma was thought to be a barrier to support seeking, both groups felt sport and clinical psychologists would provide the most appropriate support, with coaches playing an important signposting role. Implications for athletes, coaches, clinical and sport psychologists are explored and suggestions for future research are presented.

CEO succession: Managing a successful outcome — virtually
By: James Citrin and Michael Vad
James Citrin
Michael Vad
As a consequence of the coronavirus situation, meetings, interviews, workshops — even general assemblies — are being managed online via conference calls or video technologies. Globally, business leaders are navigating an unprecedented crisis and hour-by-hour changing the way their organizations operate to cope with uncertainty, risk, restrictions and lock downs. At the same time, they are preparing their top teams and stakeholders for a new reality — a world in which the need for visionary leadership is greater than ever. Where strategies are turned upside down, where innovation and sustainability focus are prerequisites, and where the modus for collaboration is redefined, internally, externally, locally and globally.
In the midst of the turmoil, a key question for chairmen, CEOs, nomination committees and CHROs is how to keep pace with — if not accelerate — executive succession practices and ensure timely completion. As transboundary as it may seem, a new standard for virtually delivered top-talent succession is evolving. Preferably not replacing face-to-face meetings and interviewing, a fully digital succession process — where clients and candidates meet, assess and negotiate through video "hangouts and meets" — should be considered a real and necessary alternative. Boards should not be too concerned about making a leadership decision virtually when the new CEO may have to lead the company in a virtual environment
As we observe and learn from the evolving situation, here are some recommendations for how to manage increasingly virtual board and C-level succession processes with a successful outcome. Certain foundational principles should be observed, regardless of circumstances:
A future role specification aligned with the board's expectations
A stringent research strategy
Thorough assessment of internal and external talent
High-quality, comprehensive material about candidates
The following five steps will help you manage C-level succession in a digital environment:
1: Providing your leadership consultant with detailed contextual information
To be fully effective, your leadership consultants need a clear understanding of the business context and the resulting leadership implications. This means ensuring that they have good visibility into your organization, for example the current strategy; the aspirations of the company going forward, including potential changes to current strategy; the strengths and weaknesses of the management team and their respective leadership styles; the dynamics between the board and management; and the company's market and competitive position. The more insights the leadership consultants can take away from upfront discussions with members of the board and management team, the better the outcome.
2: Planning an inclusive, seamless process
Designing a robust time plan upfront — involving key constituents — has always been critical. While technology offers more flexibility and can speed up processes, the inevitable virtual distance puts great demands on the phasing of interviews. It is important to allow all members of a nomination team to spend sufficient time with the finalist candidates, preferably designating specific roles for individual interviewers to probe on different dimensions. This is virgin ground for candidates too. In order to comfortably accept an offer following a true virtual hiring process, candidates require interactivity and accessibility throughout.
3: Identifying cultural impact
Research by Spencer Stuart and other industry experts indicates that assessing the likely cultural impact of a candidate is a key aspect of any board or C-level succession.1 Of course, before a candidate's cultural alignment can be assessed it is imperative to define and articulate the organization's culture — its values, goals and practices. In situations where this is not practically possible, then as a minimum it is vital to articulate the culture of the team that the candidate will join (e.g. executive management, board of directors).
Boards are increasingly interested in a CEO candidate's engagement scores. It helps to understand how a candidate's leadership style will engage the organization so that it can align around a plan for the current crisis and whatever new strategy may emerge for dealing with the post-crisis world.
Mapping an individual's style to a corporate culture: an example.
4: Probing values, motives and stress factors
In best-practice processes, finalist candidates are thoroughly referenced. Their career history and experience are scrutinized and their leadership capabilities carefully assessed. This is often supplemented with selected psychometric profiling. Take the opportunity of adding new or additional psychometric data points to further identify areas to probe and increase consistency. Our longstanding relationships with candidates fuel insightful referencing. Deeper, richer references become all the more important in a virtual world.
5: Predicting executive potential
The ability to predict leadership potential is crucial and needs to be fully integrated into the CEO succession process. For a nomination committee, understanding the executive intelligence and learning agility of the finalist candidate is probably the most important factor in making a final decision. In a process limited to calls and video meetings, we recommend broadening the use of executive potential measures for both internal and external candidates in all C-level successions and other business-critical hires. Our case-based ExI® assessment tool is uniquely positioned to determine executive potential.
What is Executive Intelligence?
Executive Intelligence or ExI® has three components and an overall composite measure:
Critical & Conceptual Thinking (CCT)
Practical Intelligence: ability to see problems from multiple perspectives; executive-level cognitive complexity; the ability to make order out of chaos even without experience of a situation: making sense of complex and uncertain information, even if of massive scope.
Interpersonal & Social Awareness (ISA)
Socio-political Intelligence: ability to engage with people and organisations directly with insight into motives and feelings: both individual emotional intelligence and group socio-political intelligence.
Self-Evaluation and Adjustment (SEA)
Learning Intelligence: ability to take in or even invite information and learn from it, adjusting one's own behaviour. This is a general accelerator of potential, since people with SEA are far more capable of learning and maximising their potential.
A nomination committee chair recently asked us, "I always insist on having an informal dinner with the finalist before closing; now what do I do …?" Well, over the past hectic weeks, virtual gatherings have evolved rapidly and seem to be working fine as a means of illuminating personal style and chemistry between individuals.
Adapting to the new realities of a digital succession process does not mean lowering standards or compromising on results. Our five steps for succession in a virtual world will help you mitigate the risks that may arise from less face-to-face contact. We recommend that you work closely to bring your leadership advisors up to speed; plan carefully to allow everyone involved to be comfortable with the process; ensure that there is a strong cultural fit; prioritise thorough referencing and consider additional psychometric testing; look beyond past achievement and focus on establishing the executive intelligence and potential of candidates.
Last but not least, think carefully about how to onboard your new executive. She or he may have to lead the company virtually, remotely — working from home with the rest of the organization and the leadership team. Virtual leadership is becoming the new normal.
The future belongs to the brave.

14 Shocking Photos Reveal Life Inside 'Coffin Cubicles' In Hong Kong, Home To 200,000 People http://bit.ly/2ugfuTI
With nearly 7.5 million people and almost no land remaining for further development, Hong Kong has become the most expensive housing market on the planet, creating a dreadful side effect called the 'coffin cubicles,' which around 200,000 people have to call their home.
The UN described these tiny 15 to 120-square-foot (roughly, 1,5-12 m²) apartments as "an insult to human dignity," and National Geographic photographer Benny Lam decided to illustrate this statement with his series "Trapped".
"That day, I came home and cried," told Benny while explaining the living conditions in these apartments which usually get lost in the inviting neon glow of Hong Kong.
"You may wonder why we should care, as these people are not a part of our lives," Benny writes on his Facebook page. "They are exactly the people who come into your life every single day: they are serving you as the waiters in the restaurants where you eat, they are the security guards in the shopping malls you wander around, or the cleaners and the delivery men on the streets you pass through. The only difference between us and them is [their homes]. This is a question of human dignity."
"From cooking to sleeping, all activities take place in these tiny spaces," explains Lam. And to make it easier to imagine, Benny used an example of Wong Tat-ming, 63, who couldn't continue driving a taxi after sclerosis spread into his leg. So now Wong has to live in a 18-square-feet compartment for about $307 (HK$2,400) a month, which he gets from government benefits.

Since 2013, CPI has sent electronic evaluations through an online learning analytics system managed by CEB now Gartner. All attendees receive an electronic evaluation within a few days of completing their CPI training.
The first tool assesses how Instructors who were trained by CPI predict they will use our training content. We also conduct a follow-up survey at about 60 days after the training. This second survey tool asks questions specific to how they have actually used the training content and what tangible results they have documented.
87% reported they have applied course content within the first 2-3 months.
93% indicated that the CPI training aligned with organizational goals and priorities.

The Reboot Your Life program increases your fruit and vegetable intake and eliminates all processed foods. As such, the Reboot is a natural elimination diet when you are restricting food groups for a limited period of time. Some food groups such as dairy, gluten, yeast, eggs, soy, peanuts, nuts, preservatives, additives, artificial colours, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, chocolate, shellfish and naturally occurring amines can be possible food allergens or intolerances for some people. A person can go for years not knowing what may be contributing to their poor health concerns, a Reboot is a wonderful opportunity to observe any health issues or symptoms that resolve or improve significantly. When re-introducing food groups after a Reboot, it is a good time to observe any symptoms of ill health re-surface.
In the week leading up to the reboot we suggest you follow these before a Reboot Food Guidelines.
Each group of suspected foods can be tested in turn. Slowly introduce each food group that you may suspect could be a possible allergen. For you, there may only be one or a few food groups that you may wish to test.
Symptoms can appear almost immediately after consuming a food allergen you cannot tolerate, or they may appear the following day, or they may take as long as three to five days before they appear.
ALWAYS KEEP A DIARY OR RECORD LISTING EACH FOOD INTRODUCTION AND ANY POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS. This is advised to start in the week leading up to the Reboot, during the Reboot and after the Reboot and with each food introduction.
To test a food it is suggested to consume 3 serves per day for 3 days of the suspect food.
–	Dairy products – 3 serves of unsweetened dairy such as milk, natural yogurt, cheese, cream and sour cream.
–	Wheat allergy – Wheat cereal for breakfast, wholegrain bread for lunch and wholegrain pasta for dinner.
–	Gluten – See above for wheat allergy, although you include different grains throughout the day such as rye, barley, spelt and oats.
–	Preservatives & colours – large amounts of lollies containing artificial preservatives & colours throughout the day. (this could make anyone sick if you ask me!). Sulphite containing dried fruit (preservative 220 or sulphur dioxide).
–	Yeast – consume yeast in bread, yeast supplements, vegemite, promite, marmite and beer.
If you do have a reaction and you wish to continue challenging any more possible allergens you will need to have a rest and allow the symptoms experienced to resolve for at least 5 days before proceeding to the next food test so there is no continuation of the last allergen into the possible next one. If you react to a food straight away then do not continue the food challenge for the remaining time.
An elimination diet can be a difficult task. I hope this makes it easier to combine a detox plan and a re-introduction for those people that may want to discover any possible food related symptoms. If you need any further guidance or assistance please feel free to ask your questions. When food related symptoms are resolved people can go on with their lives in a happier, healthier, symptom-free state of health.

Tielman's Plans Have No Place in Canalside
January 13, 2017 Chris Ostrander
The Canalside life cycle is an interesting animal. Once a windswept parking lot, it has grown to one of the most impressive attractions in Western New York as it inches towards completion. Yet, despite all of the positive momentum, the overall project remains beset by hiccups and delays.
Among the most glaring is the utter lack of permanent development outside of One Canalside (which was already there) and HarborCenter (handled by the city and the Pegulas). The historically aligned, replica canals are a visual marvel but the rest of the area is lagging behind. Make no mistake, the progress that has been made at Canalside is nothing short of impressive as there are signs of truly great things on the horizon. The warts are still quite visible, however.
Just today, The Buffalo News indicated that if an expected 2017 groundbreaking for Hofbrauhaus on the East Canal Parcel isn't met that the German beer haus would move to the Cobblestone District. That's certainly a win for the Parking Cobblestone District; it's also a blow for Canalside. Filling the parcel between HarborCenter and One Canalside would add even more density to the already bustling corner while providing a new brick-and-mortar attraction for Canalside visitors to frequent with mixed use space on the second and third floors. By failing to move the underground utility lines, the city and ECHDC have let a key development parcel sit fallow while leaving Hofbrauhaus in a three-year holding pattern.
You don't need to look far to find other sore spots around Canalside. After all, a to-scale replica of the Pawnee Pit sits just feet behind the bustling canals. There are still no permanent bathroom facilities and vinyl tents still dominate the functional lawns on a weekly basis each summer. But fear not! Soon there will be a solar-powered carousel (very authentic to the Canal Era) located on a Canalside parcel.
Too often it feels like the various plans for a bustling, live-play district have been tossed away in favor of what's little more than a public park. Some of the delays in developing the parcels around Canalside can be attributed to simple bad luck. The Skyway bisects the southern parcels and it's hard to imagine any business owner wanting to build under the roadway. Other delays have come thanks, in part, to the tireless work of Buffalo's obstruction preservation community.
The push to prevent Bass Pro from building at Canalside claimed a second victim in the form of the rest of the neighborhood that was to be developed on the parcels. Community activists like Tim Tielman cried about the need for historic fabric and other nonsense while holding back the ability for the district to kick-start development. Now, 13 years removed from the original master plan and nearly 10 years removed from the revised plan, we still are waiting to see shovels in the ground.
Conveniently, Buffalo's resident preservationist-cum-city planner has created his own "vision" for Canalside. Ah yes, preserving and honoring the historic nature of the district with a rotunda straight out of a suburban shopping center.
I'm not sure what's better. The fact that Tielman drew up a plan that pulls many of the hallmarks of previous Canalside plans he lobbied against or that the article here makes it seem as if Tielman is the first person to ever think of putting buildings at Canalside. This is hardly the first time Tielman has swept in on his MS Paint magic carpet, Tielman lauded for the design of Larkinville, when his involvement was more likely as part of the local preservation racket than any substantive contribution. Pay no mind to the fact that further development of buildings in Larkinville has slowed in the wake of the original momentum the area had. Surely that was all part of Tim's plan too.
As for Canalside, why his "Nexus" proposal is receiving any sort of fanfare is disappointing as Tielman is, more or less, repurposing the original master plans and flying them under his own, ridiculous banner. Why this plan deserves any more attention than this actually historic version is beyond me.
It is worth noting that the parcels along the wharf are expected to be kept as green space while the remainder of Canalside is developed along the historic streets and across the street near the canals. That being said, the bustling wharf makes up some of the most iconic pictures of the Canal District developing it properly would offer a similar return for the city today. Following the Heritage Coalition's plans would replicate the original wharf while creating an area not unlike Nashville's Riverwalk.
Instead, we get to hear about what a visionary Tim Tielman is despite most evidence pointing to him as an attention starved vulture who attacks and tears down any proposed development that won't earn him acclaim or a few inches in a Donn Esmonde column.
The good news is that at least the conversation is finally returning to the fact that Canalside is for development, not lawn carnivals. While the leadership of ECHDC has left the district stuck in the mud, I do have confidence that they'd move away from many of Tielman's proposed ideas here. They've shown the ability to identify design features that blend the historic fabric of the district with the necessary modern touches needed in contemporary developments.
My hope is that Tielman's proposal found its rightful home in the circular file of Tom Dee's office while the development corporation puts forth an effort for tangible progress to be made at Canalside. The historic carousel may be a ridiculous thing to add (and it will get way too much hype when it opens) but once the rest of the parcels are developed, I think it will serve as a pleasant compliment to the overall development.
I've written this a few times before, but I feel like we're getting close to critical mass at Canalside. Perhaps I'll have to eat my words but it seems as if ECHDC is finally ready to accept that some buildings need to be constructed. I'm certainly ready to see the process start.

Sen. Menendez, Rep. Lee Lead Bicameral Gun Safety Bill to Mandate Preservation, Disclosure of Federal Gun Data
Access to gun records will help local law enforcement solve gun crimes, crack down on traffickers, help Americans understand impact of gun violence on communities
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.-13) today introduced bicameral legislation to greatly enhance the ability of law enforcement to investigate and solve gun crimes, crack down on gun trafficking and negligent gun dealers, and allow researchers—for the first time—to study gun violence and its impact on communities across the country. The Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act would require the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to collect, preserve and disclose gun records and gun tracing data.
The bill is cosponsored by Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
"Thanks to the NRA and its vice grip on congressional Republicans, critical information that can help protect us all from the scourge of gun violence is being withheld, not just from the public, but in some cases from law enforcement agencies tasked with solving gun crimes," said Sen. Menendez. "In fact, Republicans have for years been inserting language in routine spending bills to keep this information from ever seeing the light of day, and in some cases, authorize the data be completely destroyed. That's why we don't have comprehensive research on how gun violence is hurting our communities or whether easy access to guns makes us safer as the NRA would have us believe. Our commonsense legislation rights this wrong and ensures vital gun data is preserved to be used to make our communities safer."
"Every day, more and more people across the country are victimized by gun violence. And for far too long, Republicans in Congress have stood in the way of meaningful gun reforms that could help bring an end to this public health crisis," said Rep. Barbara Lee. "The fact that – until recently – experts couldn't even research gun violence because the NRA and gun lobby forbid it is despicable. At the very least we should be able to scientifically analyze the causes behind gun violence in America. That's why it's past time to remove the Tiahrt restrictions so the FBI and ATF can collect and maintain the data needed to properly investigate and prevent gun violence and make our communities safer. I'm proud to work with Senator Menendez on this critical legislation."
Since 2003, Republicans have restricted the ability of the ATF and FBI to collect, preserve and make public a range of gun records and data by attaching so called "Tiahrt Amendments" to the Department of Justice's (DOJ) yearly funding bill. The Menendez-Lee legislation would repeal the following Tiahrt provisions:
Ending the prohibition on the ATF from releasing firearm trace data for use by cities, states, researchers, litigants and members of the public;
Ending the requirement for the FBI to destroy all approved gun purchaser records within 24 hours of approval;
Ending the provision that makes it extremely difficult for ATF to retrieve firearms from prohibited persons who are mistakenly sold guns or from gun owners who become ineligible to possess guns;
Ending the prohibition on ATF requiring gun dealers to submit their inventories to law enforcement; (Gun dealer inventories facilitate enforcement of the federal law requiring dealers to report the loss or theft of firearms and help law enforcement oversee the more than 50,000 firearms dealers nationwide. According to a 2008 analysis by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, more than 30,000 guns in the inventories of firearms dealers were unaccounted for in 2007.)
Ending the prohibition on public disclosure of data on multiple handgun sales, as well as gun sales information dealers are required to keep that may be required to be reported to the U.S. Attorney General for determining the disposition of one or more firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation.
"Gun violence is an epidemic that reaches into our communities, our places of worship, our homes, and even our kids' schools," Sen. Booker said. "This legislation will help us properly enforce our existing gun laws by repealing harmful policies that hamstring law enforcement's efforts to prevent and respond to gun violence."
"The Republican 'hear no evil, see no evil' approach to gun violence data and research is just plain stupid," said Sen. Blumenthal. "We know there's a problem—communities wrecked by gun violence and more than one hundred deaths every day is proof of that—but we can't fully develop evidence-based solutions when the data is hidden or even destroyed. Our bill is pretty basic: law enforcement agencies shouldn't be forced to hide or destroy critical information about gun violence that could help them better keep our communities safe."
"Gun violence is a health epidemic in the United States, and the first step in addressing this scourge is the ability of researchers to study the health crisis," said Sen. Markey. "I am proud to cosponsor this legislation that allows law enforcement to do their jobs and for meaningful research to be conducted. This bill will mean that the NRA no longer really stands for No Records Available."
"There is a national epidemic of gun violence; Congress needs to act," said Sen. Harris. "Access to gun data is vital to law enforcement's ability to solve gun crimes and keep our communities safe. I'm proud to join my colleagues in this critical reform that will help protect Californians and Americans across the country."
"The gun violence epidemic has seeped into every corner of American life, reaching our children's schools and our neighborhoods. To reduce this violence, we need to make effective use of all the data and analytic tools at our disposal, including crime gun tracing," Sen. Durbin said. "This legislation will remove archaic restrictions on data that have hampered our ability to solve and prevent gun crimes."
"ATF shouldn't stand for 'After The Fact,'" said David Chipman, retired ATF special agent and senior policy advisor at Giffords. "If we want our gun laws to be enforced effectively, with a mind toward prevention, we have to allow federal law enforcement to do their jobs in partnership with the communities they have sworn an oath to protect. By removing some of the constraints placed on ATF, this bill will do just that: allow law enforcement to disrupt gun trafficking organizations, thwart unlicensed dealers, stop straw purchasers and quickly identify licensed gun dealers that have violated the public trust. I'm grateful to Senator Menendez and Representative Lee for introducing this critical legislation."
"Eight out of 10 guns used to commit crimes in New Jersey come from out of state––but there is no information about the dealers who sold those guns. That's because of the Tiahrt Amendments, and it's unacceptable," said Jai Patel, volunteer with New Jersey Students Demand Action. "I'm glad that Senator Menendez and Representative Lee are stepping up and taking action to repeal these amendments for good."
"The repeal of the Tiahrt Amendments is a critical to ending the epidemic of gun violence," said Brady United Against Gun Violence President Kris Brown. "For far too long the gun lobby has been able to keep the American people in the dark about how guns are funneled through corrupt practices and onto our streets in order to protect industry profits. This legislation would pull back the curtain and help cities, states, law enforcement agencies, and researchers identify the very small percentage of irresponsible gun dealers that supply the overwhelming majority of guns to the criminal market. Brady is proud to support this legislation and grateful to the leadership of Senator Menendez and Representative Lee for introducing it."
