Niall Quinn: Mr Nice Guy
April 19, 2020Callum Dunn
Player Profile: Niall Quinn
Height: 6 ft 4 in
Position: Striker
National Team: Republic Of Ireland
International Caps: 92
International Goals: 21
Club Career
A Sunderland legend, both on and off the field, Niall Quinn was born in Dublin in 1966. From an early age it was clear to see that he was a talented athlete. Like most Irish youngsters Quinn played multiple sports including Gaelic Football, Hurling and football, all at a high level. Aged 16, Quinn was offered a contract to play professional Australian Rules Football after featuring in the 1983 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Final. Instead, he opted to pursue a career in football.
Playing for local side Manortown United as a teenager Quinn attracted the attention of numerous English clubs. He first had a trial with Fulham in 1983 before signing for Arsenal later that year.
With his height and physical presence, Quinn was an old fashioned centre forward but spent a brief spell playing centre back for the Arsenal academy. During the 1985/86 season, Quinn was moved back to centre forward for the reserve side, and the rest you could say is history. He scored 18 goals in as many games for the reserves, earning him a call up to the senior team where he scored in a 2-0 debut win against Liverpool.
Quinn went on to make a further 11 appearances that season but failed to find the net again. He ended the season on a high though, as he received his first international call up for the Republic of Ireland.
After a poor season by Arsenal's standards, the club decided to replace manager Don Howe with George Graham. Quinn was one of several players to benefit from the change as he was given more game time under the new gaffer. The Irishman made 35 league appearances during the 1986/87 season, scoring 8 goals. He ended the campaign with a League Cup winner's medal as Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 in the final.
His lack of goals though, would prove costly. In the summer of 1987, Graham signed another target man in Alan Smith. Subsequently, Quinn began to find game time hard to come by. He made just 20 league appearances across the next three seasons scoring only five goals. Inevitably Quinn handed in a transfer request and in March 1990, shortly before the transfer deadline, he signed for Manchester City for a fee of £800,000.
Quinn's City career got off to a flyer with a goal on his debut. He went on to score three more goals that campaign in his 9 league appearances. The 1990/91 season would turn out to be the most prolific of his career. Quinn scored 20 league goals in 38 appearances, but the season will always be remembered for his penalty save against Derby. City keeper Tony Coton was sent off – back then teams rarely named a substitute keeper on their bench – so Quinn went in goal.
In total Quinn scored 66 league goals in 193 appearances for Manchester City. His time at Maine Road was severely hampered by a cruciate ligament injury which caused him to miss the majority of the 1993/94 season. Before that City had rejected two bids for the striker from league rivals Everton.
The beanpole striker returned for the start of the 1994/95 season but was now nothing more than a bit-part player. During his absence through injury, Uwe Rösler and Paul Walsh had forged a strong partnership. Therefore, the majority of Quinn's appearances came from the bench. City attempted to move the Irishman on at the end of the season, but a move to Sporting Lisbon fell through with Quinn failing to agree personal terms.
The following summer Quinn departed Maine Road for Sunderland. Here he would become a club legend. He once again found the back of the net on his debut, scoring twice against Nottingham Forest before suffering yet another serious knee injury which ruled him out for six months. Quinn returned to the Sunderland first team towards the end of the season but could do nothing to prevent the club from being relegated.
In 1997 Sunderland signed Kevin Phillips and the striker forged a formidable partnership with Niall Quinn. They were the perfect little and large combo. Quinn provided a physical presence up top while Phillips utilised his pace to perfection. Together they were lethal and scored a combined 194 goals from 1997 to 2003.
Their goals helped Sunderland regain promotion to the Premier League during the 1999/2000 season. Quinn scored 18 goals in 39 appearances that season, his most prolific in a red and white shirt. As a result, Quinn was awarded both the Sunderland and North East Sportswriters' Player of the Year awards.
Niall Quinn's final appearance for Sunderland came in 2002 against West Ham United. Overall his professional playing career spanned 17 years during which he made 475 appearances and scored 141 goals in the Premier League and Football League.
International Career
Niall Quinn made his international senior debut aged 20 and went on to make 92 appearances in total scoring 21 goals. He represented his country at the 1990 World Cup where he scored the equaliser against Holland which helped Ireland progress to the knockout stage of the tournament.
Twelve years later, aged 35, Quinn was again part of Ireland's 2002 World Cup squad, and he delivered on the big stage. His header famously set up Robbie Keane's late equaliser against Germany in the group stage.
In the knockout round, Ireland faced Spain. Trailing 1-0 with just minutes remaining Quinn won a penalty which Robbie Keane converted to force extra time. Spain ended up winning 3-2 on penalties.
After the tournament Quinn announced his retirement from international football. At the time he was his country's all-time leading goal scorer. This record, though, would later be beaten by Robbie Keane.
Where is Niall Quinn now?
After retiring from professional football, Niall Quinn took up a brief coaching role at Sunderland. He also made numerous appearances as a TV pundit, often working for Sky Sports.
In June 2006 he headed the Drumaville Consortium and successfully brokered a deal to buy a controlling stake in Sunderland. A month later Quinn was named chairman and manager of the club, however, his managerial career didn't quite go to plan.
The Black Cats lost their opening four league games and lost to Bury in the League Cup. As a result, Quinn stepped down as manager and focussed on being chairman of the club. He appointed former Republic of Ireland teammate Roy Keane as manager. At first, the decision raised some eyebrows, but in the end it turned out to be a masterstroke as Sunderland gained promotion to the Premier League after being crowned champions of the Championship.
Quinn stepped down from his role as chairman of Sunderland in 2011. He temporarily took up the position of Director of International Development before leaving the club in February 2012.
In January 2020 Quinn was named interim deputy chief executive officer of the Football Association of Ireland.

Okay, first of all, let me begin by saying that IF I had known that we would be 1) baking cookies for Sesame Street favs and 2)going on a shopping spree at Target..! I would have tried a little harder on Top Chef! I would have grown the food I was making to win! Are you KIDDING ME!? The one question I do have, is how did Cookie Monster know that Carla's chocolate cookies were dry? I know that you know and we ALL know, there is a hand up Cookie Monster's a$$. Did that person get to judge the cookie? I am just wondering if that was in the contract they signed before the QF. Anyhoo, Padma is doing her best mommy informative character, which is a bit disturbing. Elmo tells Richard he wants zucchini in his cookies, and Richard tells us that his daughter's favorite thing in the world is Elmo so if he screws this up there will be mayhem in the house. Words to remember for later.
Chef's are seeming laid back in this challenge. I remember when it got to this stage in my season, there is room to cook, enough equipment to go around. It is quite nice. Everyone seems so happy. It was even pleasant to watch! The chefs are a little uneasy about their cookie making skills. Carla is a "caterer" so she makes cookies all of the time. Tiffany goes straight for a shortbread cookie, because as chefs, we all should know how to make shortbread. I like her idea too. Mike, Angelo, and Dale are a little less excited about their ideas and it sounds as if they hope to just not embarrass themselves. Antonia's chocolate cookie starts off nicely and ends up cow chips. And Richard goes for the 'ole liquid nitro. Pot shot, Mike wonders if there is a challenge that he will not use nitrogen. Actually, I am wondering the same thing. Stand by! At the end of the day, the muppets love Dale's unbaked cookie. To be totally honest, that is the cookie that looked the best. Richard's whipped cream and zucchini puffs land him at the bottom. When I asked someone at first glance what they thought of those cookies, they made a face and said, "well, they don't look good…" I was looking for more of a likeness to something else, but I didn't get it. Pretty funny. That is one of those moments when you try too hard and it turns out, "ice cream cookie with chocolate chips, zucchini and mint." Gee-ross. Second least favorite in my book…Mike's almond and dried cherry cookies with rose petal sugar and red hued mess of a cookie. He said when he put them in the oven, "all I can do is pray". Didn't even help. $25 thousand! WAY-TO-GO Dale! That is what I call a pay off. From "cookie cheater" to rain maker!
On to the elimination. Target. Now, anyone that hates on this place is no friend of mine. I was there this morning and already twice this week. SO, if I were told that we could shop, decorate, cook and plate everything out of what we found in the store!? I would have known EXACTLY what to do. I know how Target organizes, what they carry, and that it was all free for me?! I am excited right now just imagining what I would do! They are running all around, in the home decorating isles, picking out slow cookers and tables! Have you ever seen the Target lady on SNL? That is the voice I am channeling for excitement right now. Target Lady Not even joking. Dale tells the world that Tiffany is starting to get on his nerves with her, "Im from Beaumont" story and that she is loud and right on cue, here she comes with a bright pink hat on…whoa. Tiffany explains to us that she is nervous that she hasn't won anything. The chefs are starting to jockey for position. Okay, let's get to the food. Antonia plans to do 100 sunny side up eggs. I commend her. Parmesan cream,? Yes please. Weird side salad? No thank you. Soup #1 Curry apple soup with tomato ginger jam, cucumber apple slaw. Egghhh… passing. Soup #2 Ribeye (I can only image the quality), grilled cheese sandwich with spicy tomato soup. Nice, Dale. I am digging your food this season! Way to go! Soup #3 Spicy coconut soup with mushrooms, scallions, and lime. Why in the hell are there so many soups??! Did they all get together and say, it is 3 in the am and the Target ladies want SOUP! I hardly think so. And Mike, when you referred to cooking for "college kids", well, you aren't. You are cooking for GROWN ADULTS! I would have been instantly insulted as Target lady. "This is my JOB man, I'm a business major from NYU! class of 1998!" Nice bowl you chose though. Soup #4 Baked Potato Soup. Speechless. I think there was another dish in there…pork tenderloin and Jambalaya made with Tony Chachere and a cucumber salad or something like that. Doesn't matter anyways- all signs are pointing to the delicious tomato soup with crunchy ironed cheese. I think the judges have made their decision. Let's head to the stew room.
In the stew, the chefs seem like they all feel pretty safe. I don't think Angelo though his dish was terrible. And Carla says that she doesn't feel anything! But when Padma calls the lineup for the bottom, Carla, Angelo and Tiffany, they feel it now! Whoopsie Daisy… you 3 have the least liked dishes of the evening. I have been there before! Now, Carla's dish was ho-humm. She did not have a lot of time to let the flavors develop because she was running around trying to find things to decorate. This is a cooking competition! Brian Malarkey used to do the dame thing! But, she is not going to go home for this dish. Maybe the judges just had "palate fatigue" from all of the soups. Tiffany's dish was just not good. I knew the second I saw her dumping Tony's in there it was not going to be. That is a good seasoning in the south for things like corn on the cob and potatoes. Even maybe to dress up some boiled shrimp. But, not to season Jambalaya with. And the breakdown. WHAT WAS THAT!? Painful!! I was like, "noooooooooooooooooo!!" Don't ever beg for mercy! And don't keep saying "I'm from Beaumont, Texas! Now I see what Dale is talking about. She basically sealed Angelo's fate! Because, Angelo's baked potato soup… I really don't have words. It was not flavorful enough so he added bacon and salt (Mike's addition). Of course it was going to be too salty. But, you start playing mind games with yourself and this is what happens. I really wanted to see Angelo go all the way. He is a good guy and a great chef. Sad to see him go. When a cheftestant breaks down, the drama is rising. Please, don't cry chefs.
Well, that just about wraps it up for me. Can't wait for them to bring back the other chefs next week. Fabio is hilarious. I will be back to blog!!!!
Adios! Cookin' up another recipe for the blog on my site…stay tuned and BE HUNGRY!

Digital literacy: I'm sure you've been told this is important for students in the 21st Century. But did anyone mention it's also important for teachers too? Believe me, it is! Digital literacy is about digital skills, skills which help you use tech, create with tech and be safe using tech. So obviously as students increase in their use of technology we have to support them in how to use it wisely, correctly and safely. The same applies to teachers.


The heavy-duty pickup you'll want on your work crew is the 2018 Super Duty. It has an all-new fully boxed high-strength steel frame, beefier suspension, chassis and driveline components - all combining with more engine torque to deliver best-in-class payload and tow ratings.* Super Duty is the most capable** Ford heavy-duty pickup ever and the smartest, with newly available technology that makes hauling and towing tasks easier than ever before. The all-new Super Duty® has a conventional towing capacity of 21,000 pounds - greater than ever before and higher than any other heavy-duty pickup.* That's because Super Duty features a stronger, sturdier, fully boxed frame made of over 95 percent high-strength steel; heftier axle, suspension and driveline components; plus a factory-installed weight-carrying hitch built into the frame. Go beyond what ordinary pickups can pull with the all-new Super Duty® and its best-in-class* tow ratings. The 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package can set you up for this exceptional capability. Among the features is a 5th-wheel and gooseneck substructure attached to the frame (factory-installed on 4x4 model only). Compatible with 5th-wheel hitch kits and gooseneck hitch kits offered through the factory and Ford Custom Accessories.
SYNC 3 Smart hardware. Smart software. Smart design. SYNC 3 is our easy-to-use, responsive voice-activated technology. Discover the system's quick reactions to your conversational voice commands. Experience the smartphone-like touchscreen with impressive responsiveness. You'll also find a sleek user-friendly interface to help you connect to and control your smartphone. Locate your favorite restaurants with simple destination entry via the optional navigation. SYNC 3 is fast, smart and easy to use. You'll appreciate the convenience of Super Duty interior design when you need to carry cargo and other items inside the cab. Both the SuperCab and Crew Cab models have a class-exclusive* rear flat load floor that helps make it easy to load large cargo. The SuperCab features rear hinged doors that open 170 degrees for easy loading. And the 4-door Crew Cab offers a new available class-exclusive* folding lockable under-seat box (shown) for storing loose items or things you'd want to keep concealed and secure.
Class-Exclusive Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Truck and Trailer) No longer do you have to get out of the cab to check if the trailer's tires are properly inflated. Because that information is now available inside the comfort of the cab. The class-exclusive* Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with in-dash display covers the tires of the trailer as well as the truck.** 2018 Super Duty® has larger fuel tanks than before. Now factor in the higher-than-ever fuel economy* of both the 6.2L gas V8 and the Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8. Not having to stop to fill up as often means more productivity on the job. The new available class-exclusive* Trailer Reverse Guidance** enhances visibility via cameras in the sideview mirrors and visual guides in the center dash screen. You get a clear rear view of where the trailer is going, with the guidelines changing with the movements of the steering wheel. The camera view is digitally expanded to show the direction of the truck and the trailer. Now, one difficult task on the job isn't so difficult anymore.
The 2018 Super Duty is our toughest and strongest heavy-duty pickup ever. It's also our smartest Super Duty, making life for you on the job easier and more productive with an all-new redesigned cab plus a host of newly available technologies. Among them are BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and SYNC 3 - optional features you can get on any Super Duty from the base XL to the top-of-the-line Platinum. New optional cameras* enhance visibility for on-site tasks. Tailgate camera. High-definition 180/360-degree cameras displaying all sides of the truck.

And center high-mount stop lamp camera for viewing the pickup bed, helpful when hooking up to a 5th-wheel or gooseneck hitch.
The class-exclusive* new Adaptive Steering System adjusts the steering ratio in response to vehicle speed. It adapts automatically to the driving situation, whether you're doing a low-speed maneuver like parking or backing up a trailer, or traveling at cruising speed on the highway. At lower speeds, the steering ratio increases, requiring fewer turns of the steering wheel - and less steering effort. At higher speeds, the steering ratio gradually decreases, effecting a steering feel that is firmer and more controlled. Available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow is now offered on the new Super Duty and is a class-exclusive* feature. BLIS signals you in the outside mirror when a vehicle is detected in a blind spot - and provides coverage for the truck you're driving as well as the trailer you're towing. The cross-traffic alert feature (truck only) can detect a vehicle passing behind when you're slowly backing out of a driveway or parking place.
Make the most of every moment on the road. With new entertainment options and innovative features, the Ford Super Duty is one of the most technologically advanced trucks in its class. To see how the 2018 Super Duty performs on the road, stop by Bill Knight Ford in Stillwater, OK for a test drive.

If you're anything like me, the last thing you want to do in the summer is spend a lot of time tussling with your tresses. Allow me to reintroduce you to my go-to look for the next two months: The decidedly boho halo crown braid. It's eternally en vogue, a stylish way to keep my hair off of my neck when it's sweltering out, and as you can see below, it's also quite versatile.
2) I can wear it super messy with face-framing tendrils.
3) I can wear it low on my forehead and lop-sided.
4) I can create it with several small braids.
5) I can wear it with bangs!

Carrot-Top Donating to Hurricane Relief
Carrot-Top Industries
September 20, 2017 6:17:00 PM PDT September 20, 2017 6:17:00 PM PDTth, September 20, 2017 6:17:00 PM PDT
In September, Houston and southeast Texas were devastated by Hurricane Harvey; within days, Hurricane Irma cut a swath through Florida, the Keys and the Virgin Islands. At Carrot-Top, we've watched the impact these storms have had on our fellow American citizens and we're committed to helping.
Through the end of October, Carrot-Top will be donating
10% of our earnings, up to $10,000, to support
relief efforts by the American Red Cross.
"I'm someone who cares about human beings," said Carrot-Top CEO Dwight Morris. "In the earlier days of this company, we weren't in a position where we could help in a material way after a disaster like this. But we're a patriotic company, we care about other Americans and when we have the opportunity, we want to give back to the people we have a relationship with. In a larger sense, we have a relationship with everyone, since we're all American citizens – and I can't escape the idea that something of the magnitude of Irma or Harvey could happen anywhere, not just in Texas or Florida."
Carrot-Top is a company with a nationwide presence, and we have a strong sense of commitment to our community – at the local and nationwide level. Enacting the Carrot-Top Cares program is our way of putting that commitment into action.
"This is who we are," said Morris.
Other opportunities to contribute to Harvey and Irma relief:
Americares: Emergency efforts concentrated on health care and medicine

Saudi State Media: China's Xi to Visit Saudi Arabia on Wednesday
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia —
Chinese President Xi Jinping will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for a three-day visit, his first to the world's biggest crude oil exporter since 2016, Saudi state media reported on Tuesday.
The visit will include a bilateral summit chaired by Saudi King Salman and attended by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
Xi, head of the world's second biggest economy, will also attend a summit with rulers from the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council and talks convening leaders from elsewhere in the Middle East, the state news agency said.
The Chinese leader's arrival coincides with heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and the United States over issues ranging from energy policy to regional security and human rights.
The latest blow to that decades-old partnership came in October when the OPEC+ oil bloc agreed to cut production by two million barrels a day, a move the White House said amounted to "aligning with Russia" on the war in Ukraine.
On Sunday, OPEC+ opted to keep those cuts in place.
China is Saudi Arabia's biggest customer for crude oil, purchasing roughly a quarter of Saudi oil exports.
Beyond energy, analysts say leaders from the two countries are expected to discuss potential deals that could see Chinese firms become more deeply involved in mega-projects that are central to Prince Mohammed's vision of diversifying the Saudi economy away from oil.
Those projects include a futuristic $500 billion megacity known as NEOM, a so-called cognitive city that will depend heavily on facial recognition and surveillance technology.
Xi last visited Saudi Arabia in 2016, the year before Prince Mohammed became first in line to the throne, on a trip that also featured stops in Egypt and Saudi rival Iran.
Prince Mohammed visited China and met with Xi on an Asia tour in 2019.

The workers compensation insurance program was established by federal legislation that mandates all states to design a workplace injury insurance program that allows for immediate benefits for injured workers while still insulating employers from expensive general damages personal injury lawsuits. Employers are required to complete an injury claim report, but many also conduct an investigation when an injury occurs as well. As long as the employers follow the rules of the program, the system generally works well for uncontested injuries that obviously occurred on the job due to a particular event. Accidents happen at work on a regular basis, and employers deal with the situation regularly. However, employees are not always as familiar with the workers comp insurance program as the employers, who are also often reluctant to even file a claim. This scenario is not as unusual as it may seem, as many employers also want to completely avoid a claim in any fashion they can utilize. What this means for employees is that whey will be needing legal assistance from an experienced and effective Dublin GA workers comp lawyer who understands the system and how employers and insurance companies try to impact claims.
Not all workers comp insurance issues are as simple as others, especially when the injury in question occurred due to repetitive motion included in job responsibilities or exposure to harmful materials. The statute of limitations for filing a claim in Georgia is not as strict as employers and insurance providers may claim, often denying a claim based on an expired period to file. One year is the filing period for an injured employee to submit a claim, which is a stipulated rule. This rule is why it is vital to contact a workers comp attorney as soon as possible after a problem exists. Repetitive motion disorders can be complicated claims as well because they are difficult to pinpoint when the injury actually began to develop over time. These cases are commonly denied on the initial filing, only to be won in the appeals process when they are allowed to proceed. The appeals process is governed by specific rules, but the board does have the authority to allow an injury claim that as previously been treated and is recurring regularly. Documentation can be essential to this negotiation, and having a workers compensation legal professional representing the case is always best because the responsibility for proving the injury is employment-related is charged to the injured claimant worker.
There are many instances when employees are injured while being required by employers to work in less than acceptable safety conditions, including using work equipment that is not designed for the task. This is especially true with work-related fatalities in unsafe conditions. There could be potential for a personal injury claim against the employer along with a workers comp or wrongful death claim when willful negligence can be proven by an aggressive Dublin GA workers comp lawyer who can conduct a complete investigation into all case particulars. Injuries that occur due to defective work equipment could result in an additional product liability claim in addition to the comp claim and personal injury standing. However, none of these scenarios are possible without solid legal representative who understands to craft a case for whole damages. Employers know when they are skirting the rules, and they also understand their additional liability. Evidence can be found practically anywhere in serious negligence cases.
Never accept denial of workplace benefits you deserve. Always get a tried and true Dublin GA workers comp lawyer who will investigate your injury case and pursue all avenues of financial compensation. Being made whole following a workplace injury can be difficult, but it is not impossible when you have the right attorney. Your attorney can matter. Call Nelson & Smith.

Paroubek may run for speaker of lower house
The outgoing prime minister, Jiri Paroubek has indicated that he may run for the post of speaker of the lower house if a political agreement is reached with the other parliamentary parties. The election of a Social Democrat candidate to the post on a temporary basis is part of a compromise proposal made by President Vaclav Klaus this week which is aimed at breaking the deadlock in the lower chamber. Once the lower house has a new leadership the wheels will have been set in motion for the demise of the outgoing cabinet and the appointment of a prime minister designate. Six attempts to elect a new leadership have failed since elections at the start of June.
Civic Democrats amenable to talks
The Civic Democratic Party has said that it finds the president's proposal acceptable on condition that the interim head of the lower house would not in any way try to influence the choice of prime minister. Mr. Topolanek, who is most likely to be appointed prime minister designate, said that the mandate of the new Czech government should exceed 2009, when the Czech Republic will preside over the European Union. A shorter term in office would be meaningless, he said. The Social Democrats have indicated that they would be ready to support a minority Civic Democrat government that would include both politicians and experts. There is still controversy between the two parties over who would pick the experts.
Prague's international airport steps up security
Prague's Ruzyne Airport has stepped up security in reaction to the news of thwarted terrorist attacks on US bound planes from London on Thursday. The additional security measures concern primarily British and US bound flights and are effective as of today. Passport and security clearance will be tighter and passengers will not be allowed to take any liquids or gels on board. A spokeswoman for Prague's Ruzyne airport said passengers on British and US bound flights were kindly requested to arrive well in advance of boarding i.e. at least two hours ahead of take off. A number of flights from Prague to London were cancelled on Thursday as London's Heathrow airport closed to traffic.
Company fined 10 million for illegally storing toxic waste
The chief inspection authority has fined the chemicals company Snog HK ten million crowns for illegally storing toxic substances on a former factory site in Libcany, east Bohemia. The fine is the highest that can be imposed for this particular transgression but the firm is unlikely to pay since it recently announced bankruptcy. The company's illegal waste dump was uncovered in April. Since then decontamination crews have managed to clear out about a third of the harmful waste. Some 600 tons still remain.
Japan's Asahi Glass to build new furnace in Czech Republic
Japan's largest glass maker, Asahi Glass, said Thursday it plans to invest 100 million euros (128 million dollars) in the building of a new glass furnace in the Czech Republic. Construction of the furnace with a capacity of 700 tonnes a day will start later this year at a factory owned by its European subsidiary Glaverbel S.A., the Japanese company said in a statement. Full-scale production of float glass, which is mainly used for construction and automobiles, will begin at the furnace in 2008.

Q: Featured product with multiple possible product types? I have 3 different entities that all need to go into a table of featured products/entites/whatever. The problem is that the featured product can be of type entityA, entityB, or entityC. How do I model this and make symfony2 form for it? What would be the best approach?
Let's say for example it was a motor vehicle dealership that needed to select featured products but the product could be a "Motorbike", a "Car" or "Truck" (all of these are three classes with 3 tables storing their data).
I can think of maybe a table with nullable foreign keys that are one to many, and only enable one to be not-null but this doesn't seem right to me.

A: Lol completely misunderstood the question sorry for that.
Anyway, I think the same strategy goes for what you're actually asking.
Table 'featured_products' object_ID FOREIGN KEY on 'objects'.'ID'
object_ID
1
2
3

Table 'objects' This will only hold your object ID's
ID (AI)
1
2
3

Table 'cars': object_ID FOREIGN KEY on 'objects'.'ID' (NO Auto Increment!)
object_ID | name
1         | Ferrari
2         | Duckatti

Table 'trucks': object_ID FOREIGN KEY on 'objects'.'ID' (NO Auto Increment!)
object_ID | name
3         | Monster truck

This setup would mean you'd have to change some code as well. As you have to insert a NULL value into objects and use the insert_ID with your cars, trucks etc.
I have never actually tried this. But you MIGHT have succes using the following query.
SELECT
   truck.name, car.name
FROM
   objects
LEFT JOIN trucks ON trucks.object_ID=objects.ID
LEFT JOIN cars ON cars.object_ID=objects.ID
WHERE objects.ID IN((SELECT * FROM featured_products))
GROUP BY objects.ID

My real profession is interpreter-translator—I had a private business as an interpreter-translator in Iqaluit—but I've been many things. I was executive assistant for the Baffin Region Council, I worked in Ottawa as an assistant editor for an Inuktitut magazine and as an interpreter for ITC, also when I lived down south. In Igloolik, I was economic development officer, president of the Co-op and was vice-deputy mayor some years ago. And I've been Baffinland's community liaison officer here for five years now.
BW: And what are your responsibilities as a Baffinland liaison officer?
To keep the community informed, but right now nothing is really going on. Baffinland is still going through the process of environmental review, there are the final hearings, and so right now it's pretty quiet. My other responsibilities are to work with the economic development officers and Qikiqtaaluk Logistics to get people hired. Right now, Baffinland is in partnership with Qikiqtaaluk Logistics, and QL's responsibility is on the employment side of the mine. They hire people for the mine. So for anyone who wants to work at the mine, right now, I submit their application. Give it to me and I'll send it off to the appropriate place, which is QL, and they decide who is going to work.
BW: So that means if there are job opportunities for pre-construction on the Mary River site, Baffinland puts up a notice in the community saying "we need this many workers, show up at this time," and you screen the applications?
Okay. That's not happening. That's the thing, Baffinland liaison officers have been talking about that. Like QL is a hiring entity for the mine, but they don't put out what jobs are needed at the mine. They decide in Iqaluit who's going to do work and we don't see the job opportunities being shared at the mine.
BW: How many Iglulimmiut are working at the mine right now?
I have two people working right now.
BW: And how many people work at the mine overall?
I cannot tell you that because I don't know. But Baffinland is still in the environmental study stage, therefore they don't hire that many people. They'll hire maybe a driller or two drillers, for samples, or archaeological study assistants, marine study assistants. But hopefully by next year, we'll be running out of manpower because once the construction starts, it's going to be very busy.
BW: What other opportunities will be available for Iglulimmiut who don't work directly in the mine, as a result of Mary River?
Well, for example, someone could start a Laundromat here right now, Right now, the mines are sending their laundry to Montreal or Iqaluit. You know, things like that. We have to start thinking, there's a mine coming. Let's get something started here that it could use—like the Laundromat or catering, things like that.
Mind you, we are pretty prepared in some ways. We have trades people in town who are qualified, we have heavy equipment operators that are certified, and our economic development officer is currently working on getting more training for, I think, ten additional heavy equipment operators. The difficulty is, business…. What we need to do more is go to the radio station and encourage people to start something. You don't necessarily have to work over there to benefit. But this community has to wake up and really think about starting a business.
BW: What did you notice were some of the biggest challenges to that as an economic development officer here?
The difficulty I had back then—and even today I think it's happening, even today—people would come with enthusiasm to start a business. So that brought my spirits up, you know? You start helping them and you'll make the plan with them, and tell them, "here's what you need to do for your business." And they don't bother showing up after that. That was challenging and also disappointing. That they seem enthusiastic at first, but when the real work starts, they just don't show up.
BW: Why do you think that is?
With all due respect, this community, like any other community, is a community where people are so used to having things done for them that it's almost like they're waiting for someone else to do it for them. That's discouraging! It's getting very frustrating for me. Maybe I'm being negative here, but that's the way I see the community right now. Waiting for somebody else to do something for them. When in fact, they should be going forward on their own to benefit from the mine when it's in operation.
BW: Has Baffinland started training workers in the community?
Okay, I'm going to put on my mayor's hat here. My idea is that, instead of saying "gimme gimme" to Baffinland, we should start saying, "here's what we have in this community: we have heavy equipment operators, we have drillers—let them know what we have. I promise you, they will be hired during the construction season. I don't want Igloolik to become like a "gimme gimme" community. I want Igloolik to be able to offer. Use what we already have in our community, and they decide.
BW: Ask not what Baffinland can do for you but what you can do for Baffinland…
Yeah. Yes…. Yes.
BW: What responsibilities do you think Baffinland has to the community?
One of their responsibilities will be to hire people. And there was a suggestion made by the hunters here. They're thinking about starting a fishery. There was a suggestion made that they should be given a certain amount of money to acquire a ship big enough for commercial fishing. Another concern has been housing. The way it is right now, if there are two people working in a household, they are both charged, I think, 70% of their income. And that barely results in actual take-home pay, because all of their money is going to the Nunavut Housing Corporation. One particular person I know is a qualified mechanic—heavy equipment operator. When he worked for the hamlet, his rent shot way up and he couldn't afford it anymore. He had to resign from his job. So we suggested maybe Baffinland could consider building houses here to be used by their workers. Eventually they will become the homeowners—live in the houses, like rent-to-own, more or less. So there was talk of Baffinland building houses for its employees.
Those are the two main items that I have heard about in terms of what are people getting in return?
BW: When will the communities know what's in the IIBA?
I don't know. Like that's the thing. I don't know.
BW: Is that frustrating?
No, no…. Maybe just to an extent, It would be great to know, but the rules are, not while it's being negotiated.
BW: Just trust?
We wait patiently in trust for the negotiators.
BW: Everybody in the hamlet who voted for you, they knew that you worked for Baffinland. Do you think that says anything about what the community wants for its future?
Well, the way I see it is this: you have to be able to separate yourself sometimes from Baffinland and concentrate on the hamlet. And there are also times, like during the daytime, when I keep myself separated from the hamlet and work for Baffinland. In my positions, as a CLO for Baffinland and as mayor, I have an…if I can use the word, ideal position. The way I look at it, Baffinland needs Igloolik for employment and—same thing—Igloolik needs Baffinland for employment. That sort of puts me in the middle, as a mayor, wanting the people of this community to be able to acquire jobs, to be able to work and become independent, you know, rather than relying on welfare. They need jobs.
So their needs fall right into Baffinland's. Their needs will be fulfilled by Baffinland by way of employment and other business possibilities.
And in turn, Baffinland will need workers. They will need Igloolik for people to work in the Mary River project. Some people would disagree, but I see myself to be in a unique situation. So I don't see a problem with that, working for Baffinland and being a mayor, because I see them as intertwined, you know.
I'm able to put on my hamlet hat when I need to, totally avoiding Baffinland, and also, on the majority of days, wear my Baffinland hat.
However, as a mayor, if any discussions about Baffinland are going to be discussed at the council, I have the common sense to declare a conflict and totally stay away.
BW: How does that work, when there's a hamlet meeting and you have to declare a conflict?
Well I prefer not to be there altogether. If it's going to be about the company that I work for, then if I stay, I might end up interfering. I might take their side. So basically, if they're going to be talking about Baffinland, I feel most comfortable totally taking myself away from that meeting. Declare a conflict.
If Baffinland people are here to meet with the council, my job will be to welcome the Baffinland delegates, and then, right then and there, I declare a conflict and sit with the Baffinland people. Those are the rules.
BW: Does that mean that Igloolik doesn't have a mayor when the council is discussing Baffinland?
It's an awkward situation to be in. Again, I would have to declare a conflict. But that doesn't worry me, because I have confidence in the council to represent the community. So. That's the name of the game.
BW: Have you been contacted by any other mining companies recently?
Yes, we have been in contact with Roche Bay mining in Hall Beach. We also have been contacted by West Melville Metals. They are in the process of doing sampling.
BW: And you think those projects will be good for the community as well?
Well, looking at Igloolik, with a population at 2,400 and increasing, there's a pitiful economic development industry in this community.
There's nothing! At least three quarters of the people here are unemployed because there's no economic base. I supported the Stornoway diamond project because it would create much-needed employment. And as a mayor, again, I'm fully supporting Mary River for the benefit of this community.
You know, the thing here is that—and it's really troubling to me—there is no economic base. Nothing! And people depend on income support and welfare. Young people, relying on income support, welfare. And I'm sure many of them don't want to be on welfare, but the thing is, they are trapped. There is no employment. The Mary River project will create long-term employment for the people here; for our children. It's a chance for people to get off welfare and get working, you know, get their pride back.
There's no economic base in this community, and it's been going on for so long, it's almost beginning to become an accepted fact. That's troubling. Our young people who graduated last year, they are applying for work through QL, but because there is no employment yet, they go on welfare. I know we have young people, willing-to-work people out there and they are trapped because they're on welfare and there's no employment. That's troubling, and right now, our hands are tied.
Baffinland is the most studied proposed project. Five years of study. It's the first mine in Nunavut that's ever gone through such a study. It's almost ridiculous, but that's the name of the game, that's the Land Claims Agreement. It's the first proposed mine that's gone through five years of study, so environmental study, sea mammal study, community consultations, you know, this is the most studied proposed mine in Nunavut, ever. It's ready.
