Spotify 'might ditch an IPO in favour of direct listing'
Report - move would see the company bypass institutional investors
by: Adam Shepherd
Spotify is reportedly considering skipping out on its own IPO, in a controversial move that has left many experts scratching their heads.
Instead of an IPO, the company is said to be eyeing a direct listing, according to the Wall Street Journal. This method of going public negates the share price fluctuations that accompany a traditional IPO, but will likely reduce the amount of money generated by the company.
The WSJ referred to anonymous sources familiar with the matter, who said that the decision was being driven not by the desire to raise the large sums commonly associated with IPOs, but to give long-term investors and employees the chance to cash out. Spotify refused to comment on the matter.
In a standard IPO, early buyers (or, 'institutional investors') are approached to purchase blocks of new shares immediately before they go on the open market. Once trading opens, the shares usually jump in value, whereupon the institutional investors sell them for a profit. This, in turn, pushes the company's stock price higher and leads to a large, immediate payout for the company.
By listing their stock directly, Spotify would bypass the initial investors, selling shares directly to the public. This means that they're not going to surge in value in the same way, and will generate much less money than other tech IPOs.
This is partly why it's such an unusual model; tech IPOs in particular are generally used by companies to secure serious cash infusions in order to fuel expansion efforts. By not pursuing a standard IPO, Spotify would effectively be turning down millions of dollars, if not more.
This money could come in handy for the company, particularly in order to pay off some its $1 billion debts. It would also give the notoriously loss-making business a bit more breathing room in order to consolidate and further grow its business.
However, while recent tech IPOs like Snap's have seen huge valuations, they do not always work out - Twitter's stock price has halved since its market debut, for instance.
However, there are some upsides to a direct listing. Chief among these is a greater chance of stock price stability, as the company bypasses selling its shares to investors who are principally after a quick profit. Tech stocks have a habit of opening with incredibly high valuations, before quickly reducing in value. Similarly, this method could also be more likely to attract long-term investors who will stay with the company over a greater period.
It also sidesteps the fees charged by underwriters, avoids diluting the company's stock and allows the company to freely discuss its stocks without violating SEC regulations.
Rumours of an IPO have been circling the company for a long time, particularly following the company's $1 billion debt financing agreement last year. Provisos in the deal will penalise Spotify the longer it goes without floating its IPO, including rewarding investors with greater equity for every year the company doesn't go public.
It is currently unclear whether a direct listing, as opposed to an IPO, would satisfy the terms of this agreement.
The news comes in the same week that the company inked a new long-term licensing agreement with Universal Music Group, the biggest record label in the world and one of the three main sources of Spotify's catalogue.

Leo Dooley: ...living in my basement?
Lab Rats is a pretty great show, especially coming from the live action department of Disney. It's my third favorite Disney XD show, preceded by Gravity Falls and Phineas and Ferb.
The characters, for the most part are well written. Finally: the stereotypical "strong, tall guy" isn't the bully. And while Adam is fairly unintelligent, he has his moments (ex. in Leo vs Evil he comes up a simple solution when everyone else was trying to over-complicate things). The stereotypical "small, nerdy kid" actually has self esteem, and is able to fight. And Bree, the only girl of the main cast, IS NOT A LOVE INTEREST! Sure, she has crushes, but what girl doesn't, and they are such a small part of the show. Even Tasha, part of the supporting cast, is more of a mother figure than a love interest for Donald. Plus she has a career and is able to manage probably the four most destructive kids in the planet. And Janelle, the love interest whose smart, doesn't put up with crap, and isn't even all that romantic, is a breath of fresh air. You go, girls! I will admit that there are some still very poorly written characters. Trent, for example, is your typical football jock bully. Principal Perry is that typical mean authority figure that everyone hates yet has to put up with (although I do like her in the episode Chip Switch). And Mr. Davenport himself is way too self absorbed (although I still like how he is a legitimate authority figure for the kids).
The plot of Lab Rats, which really starts to pick up in Season 2, is great. And I love how some of the first supporting characters you see in season one are seen all the way up into season four (ex Janelle and Principle Perry). (That is one thing that really bothers me about Disney's Kickin' It: Eddie is a main character for the first two seasons, but then he disappears without explanation and everyone else acts like he never even existed.) This show has its fair share of problems, but, all in all, is a pretty great show. If I were showing this to my kids, I would explain why some things shouldn't be tried in real life, and make sure they understand that its portrayal of school is not accurate at all, and then let them enjoy!


Cleats you can make for your boat from wood off cuts.
Make Your Own Wooden Cleats.
Not only are Wooden cleats easy to make they are in many respects superior to the metal variety.
Because the wood is softer than metal it is much kinder to the rope.
And because wood will also create more friction than metal type, it will hold your boat's mooring lines more securely.
How to Make your own Mooring Cleats.
The first is made from a solid block of suitably sized wood.
The main criteria are that the grain should run along the horns and the space under the horns should allow enough room, so that even the largest rope you are likely to use won't jam.
When marking out the shape on your block use a half pattern which, can be flipped over to provide a symmetrical outline.
For mooring, drill holes for the base using a drill bit larger than the diameter of the thickest rope likely to be used on it.
Then cut out the waste wood with a saw to give the basic rough shape.
The next stage is to round off all the corners and give it a bit more shape.
I have found a Japanese Saw Rasp a quick easy way to rough shape convex surfaces.
You'll need a round rasp for the concave edges.
As the base is where greatest friction occurs, this will need to be well rounded at both ends.
Finally, a really good sanding to make it as smooth as possible.
I mount mine on a hardwood base in order to keep the rope clear of the nonslip deck surface.
You can if you wish drill a hole or slot through the base.
This needs to be between the two through bolts and below the level of the horns.
This second method is how I made the center-cleats for Mignonne.
I used the same 1inch/25mm square lumber I used for the handrails and toe rail.
This was simply a cross bar resting on two short pillars of the same stock and resting on a hardwood base.
The wood was cut to length, holes drilled for the through bolts then glued and bolted together.
To finish all the corners were well rounded and sanded smooth.
There is a formula which states that the length of the horns should be 6 x the circumference of the mooring line.
However, for any boat over 20 foot I wood suggest that they should be at least 9 to 10inch, 230 to 260mm.
For any boat less than 20 foot, the horns want to be at least 6inch across.
It is possible to make them from almost any wood even fir, though a hardwood is best.
The best choice is probable well seasoned locust, or white oak.
"There is something elemental about boats that favour simplicity in place of fussiness.
Many of the legendary boat designers were known for advocating simplicity and its working partner, economy.
Mooring cleats normally will mainly be subjected to loading from the side.
However, in some situations, such as tied to a fixed dock with a falling tide, they may have to bear considerable upward pressure.
They will also be subject to twisting as the pressure is exerted on the line leading from one side.
So, those for mooring must have strong horns with the wood grain running along the length.
They also need a minimum of two through bolts from the top of the horns to a backing plate below the deck or through a deck-beam.
If you use carriage bolts as the fastenings there is no need to countersink as the domed heads won't interfere with the cleat-hitch.
Backing plates need to be much larger than the base area of the cleat.
If using either plywood or solid wood the through bolts must be fitted with large diameter washers under the nuts or a metal plate.
Cleats, apart from those used for mooring, should be installed at an angle of about 10 degrees to the lead of the line belayed to it.
This will help prevent the standing part of the line becoming jammed between and the horn and the figure of eight and help reduce chafe.
Mooring lines should be lead through a metal fairlead before cleating off.
There is very little point either varnishing or painting a mooring cleat as the rope friction will soon wear through even the toughest finish.
A good soaking hot linseed oil or any other wood oil (I prefer Tung oil) will help to prevent any checking.
Once the oiled wood is dry it can be buffed up to give a very pleasant sheen.
Wooden jammers are equally easy to make.
As the line only needs to go around once there only need for a long horn at the front.
With this cleat, we do want the line to jam so the horn slopes down to the base plate at an acute angle without any clearance.
Other belaying options include using the king post or bollards.
And don't forget the age old Fife rail with Belaying pins.
This is a very efficient method for quickly and tidily securing running rigging.
And the lines can be released quickly just by pulling out the pin.
On an open and framed boat you can fit a bar across pairs of frames to act as a belaying point.
Or do as I have done on Mignonne and fasten a bar across the taffrail supports.
On mine I have incorporated two notches on the top as jammers.
So make use of all those off cuts you have lying about.
Make yourself some good sized cleats which will not only enhance the look of your boat but will, probably be more efficient than those you can buy.


I've started testing askbot under Python 2.4. There are errors like the one in the title.
While dependencies are in the process of being accounted for and these errors are being eliminated, hopefuly answers to this question will help users solve these issues on their own or maybe you guys could add modules with Python 2.4 here in the comments.
Ok here was one missing import: hashlib.
Well you can google python 2.4 hashlib and find a resource for that library.
If you find source code distribution like this one.
with Unix wget or just get the file through your browser.
There will be file setup.py (all python modules distributed with distutils have it).
An important part: python executable called by this command must be the same as the one used by the webserver process. Most likely - this is the case automatically, but sometimes it is not true.
Your system administrator must know which python executable is called by the webserver.
How to install modules without root access?
Here is the full documentation for the python distutils.

President Trump Takes Aim At Liberal House Members
Monday, July 15th 2019, 9:16 AM CDT
By: Rachel Roberts
Monday morning, Democrats are condemning President Trump's criticism of a group of Liberal house members.
On Twitter, President Trump took aim at a group of what he calls Progressive Congresswomen.
The President's comments came after a conference on Saturday where the four criticized the commander In chief for his policies toward migrants at the southern border.
All in attendance were born in America, except Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who came to the U.S. from Somalia as a child.
"I understand some of the choices these families are faced with." said Congresswoman Omar.
On Sunday, the president tweeted "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
All four congresswomen fired back at the president on Twitter.
Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib was the first to respond writing "Want a response to a lawless and complete failure of a President? He is a crisis. His dangerous ideology is the crisis. He needs to be impeached."
In the past week, President Trump has been trying to exploit policy cracks between Nancy Pelosi and the more progressive members of her caucus.

KT Long Read: The Attenborough effect on plastic pollution
The big problem is single-use plastics and the quantities in which they are used.
By Prasun Sonwalkar
Published: Thu 9 Dec 2021, 8:50 PM
Last updated: Thu 9 Dec 2021, 8:51 PM
One of the key aspects of Media Studies I used to teach during my previous life in academia is 'media effects': the idea that the media can influence people's behaviour, attitudes and actions. But the degree of that influence, as well as who is most impacted, when, how and why, has been the subject of much debate among scholars for nearly a century; for example, does violence on television and films lead to violence in society? The jury is still out, but there is some consensus that the 'media effects' need not be overt — they can be subtle, whose influence on action and behaviour may not be clear immediately.
I did not have to look far to find a good example of 'media effects': my home. At one point, I was closely following the documentary series Blue Planet (2001) and Blue Planet II (2017) on BBC, marvelling at their production values and the less known world of issues facing oceans and endangering marine life, narrated brilliantly by the iconic natural historian David Attenborough.
One evening, while unpacking after returning from the supermarket, I realised the extent of packaging that came with items of everyday use: it almost filled the kitchen bin. Almost every item, particularly vegetables and other food items, came in attractive plastic packaging. I looked around the kitchen and the house, and saw how widespread plastic is present, and recalled episodes in Blue Planet II that graphically showed how plastic pollution kills and endangers marine life and ultimately affects the ecosystem. The documentary's 'effect' on me was clear: I soon changed shopping habits, from the supermarket to farmers' market stalls, bought plastic goods to the bare minimum, and generated less waste for the local council's bin collection, from one black bin bag in a week to one every three weeks, if not longer. Since plastic cannot be recycled in full and remains a major challenge, who knows where the discarded packaging will end up?
Damage to environment
I was not alone to experience the 'Attenborough Effect'. The Blue Planet series was watched across the globe and clearly helped raise awareness of how human anthropogenic activity puts marine life and the environment in danger. Much outrage was expressed about plastic pollution after the series was broadcast. It was suddenly a hot topic and people who had never done it before started taking reusable jute, cloth and other bags to supermarkets and grocery stores, refusing plastic packaging. Several surveys showed that the vast majority of people who watched the series changed their shopping habits, if not lifestyles. The series was seen by millions across China, particularly Blue Planet II, which reportedly slowed the country's Internet at the time. When Theresa May visited Beijing as prime minister in 2018, she presented President Xi Jinping with a Blue Planet box-set, with a special message from Attenborough. As May says, "We look back in horror at some of the damage done to our environment in the past and wonder how anyone could have thought that, for example, dumping toxic chemicals untreated into rivers was ever the right thing to do. In the UK alone, the amount of single-use plastic wasted every year would fill 1,000 Royal Albert Halls."
Delighted with Blue Planet's impact, Attenborough says: "We hoped that Blue Planet II would open people's eyes to the damage that we are doing to our oceans and the creatures that live in them. I've been absolutely astonished at the result that that programme has had. I never imagined there would be quite so many of you who would be inspired to want change. The strength of response has not gone unnoticed in the corridors of power, or in business boardrooms. The actions of any just one of us may seem to be trivial and to have no effect. But the knowledge that there are thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who are doing the same thing — that rally does have an effect. I think we're all shifting our behaviour, I really do. I think we are changing our habits, and the world is waking up to what we've done to the planet. It is high time we turn our attention fully to one of the most pressing problems of today — averting the plastic pollution crisis."
The good, bad and ugly of plastic
Plastic itself is incredibly useful. It has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio; it is durable and inexpensive, making it the material of choice for most disposable medical tools, equipment and packaging. The big problem is single-use plastics and the quantities in which they are used. A plastic bag, for example, is used on average for a short duration, but could take 100 to 300 years to fragment. But the British Plastics Federation's (BPF) position is that single-use plastics also have an important role to play in modern life. It contends that plastics packaging saves resources and, "it is lighter, uses less energy and produces less greenhouse gas emissions than alternatives". According to the BPF, the main benefits of plastic packaging are: resource efficient, safe, hygienic, lightweight, secure, durable and versatile.
But despite much innovation and advances in recycling technology, a big question mark remains; not all plastics can be recycled, including some resins. Even for some plastics that can be partly recycled, the process can use a lot of energy, and plastic cannot be recycled indefinitely, unlike glass or aluminium. Every time plastic is recycled, its quality decreases, so on average a plastic product can only be recycled two to three times before it is no longer used. As Prime Minister Boris Johnson remarked before the COP26 summit in Glasgow, sparking a row with campaigners, recycling plastic "doesn't work" and "is not the answer" to threats to global oceans and marine wildlife. Reusing plastics "doesn't begin to address the problem", he said, suggesting that instead "we've all got to cut down our use of plastic".
A large number of experts, organisations and governments across the globe are engaged in dealing with plastic pollution, producing voluminous reports and research papers. The figures are stark: every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into oceans; 12 million tonnes of plastic are poured into the ocean every year; scientists have recently discovered microplastics embedded deep in the Arctic ice; plastics consistently make up 80 per cent of all marine debris studied; there may now be around 5.25 trillion macro and microplastic pieces floating in the open ocean, weighing up to 269,000 tonnes; 100,000 marine mammals and turtles and 1 million sea birds are killed by marine plastic pollution annually; approximately 5,000 items of marine plastic pollution have been found per mile of beach in the UK; 90 per cent of plastic is produced from feedstock obtained from fossil oil and gas; producing one tonne of plastic generates up to 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide; plastic production has been forecast to grow by 60 per cent by 2030 and to treble by 2050; and less than a third of all plastic in the UK is recycled.

Britain: Single-use plastic plates, cutlery may soon be banned in England
The Covid-19 pandemic's demand for single use plastic medical equipment has added to the pollution, as new research in the American academic journal PNAS shows. More than eight million tonnes of pandemic-associated plastic waste has been generated globally, with more than 25,000 tonnnes entering the global ocean.
Most of the plastic is from medical waste generated by hospitals that dwarfs the contribution from personal protection equipment and online shopping package material. The research found that hospital waste represents the bulk of the global discharge (73 per cent), which calls for better management of medical waste.
Warriors of plastic pollution
Remedial steps across the globe may be small given the scale of the problem, but check out several urban areas and you see groups of volunteers of all ages picking up plastic litter from parks, woods, waterways and roads, collecting and depositing it in centres for recycling. I often find such groups along the picturesque Thames Path, Richmond Park and elsewhere in London, particularly on weekends, including elderly men and women wearing aprons, with a black bin bag in one hand and a litter-grabbing stick in the other, chatting and joking among themselves at what they find.
"We pick up all kinds of plastic stuff, and I mean all kinds," says Jane Arthurs, a resident of Putney, with a smile. Similar groups of people can be seen at various beaches across Britain, spaces where a large number of people gather, particularly during the summer, and usually leave behind mountains ofplastic. But things are beginning to change, as Attenborough notes.
The Marine Conservation Society found in a new survey that the amount of waste washing up on the UK's beaches is falling. Volunteers found 385 pieces of litter for every 100 metres of beach on average, down from 425 in 2020 and 558 in 2019. Single-use plastic bags have fallen from a high of 13 for every 100 metres in 2013 to just three in 2021. Plastic cotton bud sticks dropped out of the top 10 most common types of rubbish following a ban in Scotland in 2019 and in England in 2020. Wet wipes have consistently featured in the top 10 most common items on Scottish beaches, while levels of PPE found this year were similar to 2020, when masks were made mandatory across the UK.
Lizzie Prior, Beachwatch Manager at MCS, says: "The ongoing downward trend we're seeing in litter levels on UK beaches is a positive sign that the actions we're taking at a personal, local and national level are working. But we can't sit back and relax, now is the time for even more ambitious action."
Another example is the success of the UK government imposing a charge for single-use plastic bags in supermarkets and retailers. There was a 95 per cent drop in the use of such bags when a charge of 5 pence per bag was levied in 2015, which was raised to 10 pence in May this year.
The average person now buys only four single use bags in a year from the supermarkets, compared with 140 in 2014, and there is much pressure on supermarkets to cut packaging. Since the introduction of the charge, retailers have donated over £150 million to charity, volunteering, the environment, and the health sectors.
As Environment Minister Rebecca Pow says: "The introduction of the 5 pence charge has been a phenomenal success, driving down sales of harmful plastic bags in supermarkets by a remarkable 95 per cent. We know we must go further to protect our natural environment and oceans, which is why we are now extending this charge to all businesses. A plastic packaging tax is to be introduced from April 2022 for products that do not have at least 30 per cent recycled content."

Legal dispute
O'Dwyer shared partial transcripts of a presentation from PRSA's annual conference in 1993 to criticize the speaker's ethics for promoting the use of advertising spend to influence editorial at major newspapers. The speaker sued O'Dwyer for copyright infringement and the court ruled that O'Dwyer was protected under fair use. Copyright.gov reports "The court granted defendants' motion to dismiss, finding that defendants' publication of articles discussing plaintiff's public speech and defendants' distribution of the transcripts constituted fair use. The court held that defendants' purposes were to fairly and reasonably review, comment on, and criticize plaintiff's speech."

Transforming Cross-Border B2B Payments — Everything You Need to Know
In an increasingly digital and globalised world, the thought of handing over a paper cheque to finalise a business deal now seems curiously quaint and old-fashioned, not to mention hugely inefficient.
As you might expect, B2B payment options are often cited as a critical factor for companies and people choosing their bank. Indeed, according to the 2017 B2B Payments & Working Capital Management Survey, 45 per cent of those asked said that it was the clincher. However, the fact that 20 per cent of respondents also said that they use alternative methods for dealing with cross-border B2B payments proves that banks are failing to keep up with the needs of international businesses.
In an increasingly digital and globalised world, the thought of handing over a paper cheque to finalise a business deal now seems curiously quaint and old-fashioned, not to mention hugely inefficient. By contrast, electronic payment methods are simpler, quicker and cheaper, yet businesses are finding that those methods offered by banks are severely limited in one important area — sending money internationally.
Companies want the same simplicity and efficiency they are finding available for domestic payments, especially since international business is already complicated enough with ever-changing compliance and regulatory requirements. Yet, as illustrated by the aforementioned survey, at least a fifth of respondents are having to search for non-banking financial institutions to meet their needs.
Counting to cost
For many businesses, the expense of making international payments is a real stumbling block. A further survey, this time by Saxo Payments, found that 48 per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with the cost of making cross-border B2B payments, with 80 per cent saying that they would consider changing provider if there was a chance that it would reduce that cost.
Of course, there were other issues sited in the survey, with a perceived lack of transparency, foreign exchange rate variations and slow transactions all also ranking among the frustrations. While none of these ranked anything like as important a factor as cost did, they all contribute to a landscape of overwhelming discontent with how banks handle cross-border payments.
Fintech to the rescue
Wherever there is a niche, there is inevitably innovation, especially in the tech world. Sure enough, this frustration among businesses has bred a significant growth in fintech firms seeking to solve the problem of expensive, obscure, inconsistent and slow international transactions. The result is range of innovative solutions to this issue.
Said innovation comes in the form of leveraging new technologies — artificial intelligence (AI) and platforms, for example. Such developments have already found their way into the business world and are acting to deliver better value propositions, streamline processes and change the nature of business models.
An example of this technology in action comes in the form of automated systems that can check that all the required payment protocols are in place before starting the payment process. This reduces the amount of time and money wasted when payments fail to go through because one or more protocols were not adequately satisfied before the process began.
Fintech in the future
Research by Frost & Sullivan entitled 'The Global PayTech Market: Driving Transaction Transformation' noted a opportunity for significant advancement in the not-too-distant future in the form of instant or real-time international payments. While this is currently entirely achievable domestically, international payments and transfers have long suffered from delays ranging from hours to days. As with instant domestic money transfers, the widespread adoption of mobile devices is expected to be the basis of this trend.
Among the contenders in this development are UK firm Previse, which has received £2 million in seed funding to enable them to develop their proprietary AI solution. American firm Ripplealready offers a means of allowing banks and financial institutions to send money around the world in real time using Blockchain technology and may extend that service to the world of B2B payments.
While the value propositions and business models of the various paytech companies working towards solving this issue vary, they are all still working towards the same ultimate goal — a seamless and easy-to-use system of making cross-border payments. Different paytech companies are offering different benefits, such as integration with existing systems, FX conversion automation, marketplaces, notifications, payment gateways and more.
Dynamic currency conversion (DCC) and multi-currency pricing (MCP) are important features for businesses operating internationally, and are being offered by some fintech firms. They enable banks and merchants to price goods and services in the currency of their customers while receiving payment in whatever currency they (the vendor) chooses or requires. This massively simplifies international sales, ensuring that both the customer and the company are getting a fair deal in spite of constant currency fluctuations.
Of course, it's difficult for a single solution to offer all of these services. Corporate cross-border payments are complex and it is challenging enough to disrupt one or two parts of the value chain in order to improve the customer experience. However, even relatively small changes and increased amounts of automation can offer companies an opportunity to dramatically simplify the process, reducing overheads. The fact that fintech firms can make use of streamlined processes and online models — especially cloud-based solutions — means they can minimise the cost for their customers, giving businesses their all-important savings.
Reinventing the cross-border payment ecosystem
It is worth noting that, while remarkable solutions are emerging, further work is required to develop them and optimise them. The current options are undoubtedly innovative and encouraging, with banks often collaborating with or investing in the firms behind them to enhance their own services. AIB, for example, acquired a minority stake in TransferMate as a strategic partnership to provide business customers with a convenient and cost-effective way to send and collect funds globally. ING have entered into a similar partnership with the same fintech firm for the same reason.
As these firms continue to develop their technology and banks continue to take advantage of their innovative services, businesses will be able to benefit from the trend towards instant payments, even in cross-border payments. Technology-based platforms enabling business to conduct such business instantaneously should reduce the cost and complications that have been an inherent risk of overseas sales. While some business will inevitably still require banking entities to be involved at some point in the process, paytech firms will likely become the go-to option for those seeking to bypass the complexity of ensuring optimum customer service and minimum cost.

Q: have git track changes on a renamed file (with new file to complicate matters) We have a file that contains models that live in root_dir/model/__init__.py. This is obviously not ideal and it is preferable that this code lives in  root_dir/models.py. The problem is that there are older versions of this that need to be maintained, and I expect that there will be changes to the older models that need to be merged forward.
If I use git mv root_dir/model/__init__.py root_dir/models.py changes to __init__.py are merged forward into models.py as expected.
There is a problem though: root_dir/model/ still requires an __init__.py and when I create one, the merge forward no longer works and leads to challenging merge conflicts.
I am hoping there is some other option that I am missing, but have accepted that this might just be something painful we have to live with for a release cycle or two.

petition for the request of reinstating high valued and great teacher, Donna Wray.
We understand that prof. Donna Wray has made the decision to resign and we feel that her decision was made in haste, especially we are all concerned about this matter as we are approaching the end of our first semester, we don't imagine achieving the Diploma of Justice without the involvement of Donna Wray.
Donna has been a teacher at Chisholm Institute for the past four years, her wealth of knowledge and credentials saw her complete the guidelines and modules for the Diploma of Justice. However, in recent months, Donna was told she must look after twelve subjects this equates to approximately 400 students without any reprieve or a replacement teacher.
She didn't want to disappoint her classes and took on the additional workload on a condition her contract would be renegotiated.
Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), it may be deemed to be an unfair dismissal if the employer asks the employee to resign or creates a situation where the employee is given no other option but to resign. Donna Wray was forced to resign on the 5th of April 2019, due a workplace dispute between Chisholm institute and her. As she felt her worth wasn't recognized and a decline of her personal health in the last few weeks. Donna Wray was asked to sign a contract with a base salary much lower than $63k that a graduate student would make as a high school teacher.
We don't think it needs to explain the inadequacies of this. Especially as this course is fully funded by the government to those that meet the criteria.
We are concerned when we see that a highly valued teacher of our institute should be made to feel that the best choice is to leave.
Donna is a teacher with a great amount of knowledge and wonderful teaching ability. She brings life, knowledge, enthusiasm and creativity to all her lectures as well as a passion for teaching.The designs of her courses are very amazing and outlined in detailed information to allow her students to have a better understanding of the course.
The skill we are able to obtain by her guidance includes responsibility, critical thinking and initiative. Donna has been a big inspiration and has constantly motivated us to achieve to the highest of our capability.
We all stand with Donna Wray to allow her to continue enriching the lives of hundreds of students.
Please let's show our support to reconsider the decision.


Chronic pain and immobility caused by conditions of the bones, muscles, tendons or ligaments can greatly reduce your quality of life. The specialists at CHRISTUS Health have the expertise and experience needed to treat an array of orthopedic conditions, from sprains and fractures to joint replacements and sports medicine.
We know that hip and knee pain can really slow you down. As we age, our bodies start changing. Certain aches and pains that didn't bother us before slowly begin getting in the way of everyday activities. This is why we created an online health risk assessment that specifically helps you find out how well your knee and hip joints are functioning. Give it a try today to assess the steps you can take towards great joint health.


Our classes enroll engineering students at the junior and senior level for 12 ABET-accredited engineering programs. Many of these students come into the class already having had an engineering co-op experience, and we ask them to share their stories about ethical dilemmas they have faced in the workplace. We put them in small groups (of four to five students each) where they are asked to share their experiences and then come to consensus on the most compelling, most troubling, most complex ethical dilemma from the group. They write up the case and give a presentation to the class about it, with at least three or four options for resolving it. Then they test their options using not only the NSPE Code of Ethics but also an ethical decision-making model that includes moral tests. They solicit class feedback on their analysis of their options; if the class can offer a better solution or an improvement of a particular solution, they consider that. Finally, they explain how they would communicate their solution to necessary stakeholders.
Other undergraduate students and faculty participate in these presentation sessions. Our educational goals are to ensure that students are reflecting on their work experiences in thoughtful ways; they should be able to identify and articulate the ethical dilemmas that can arise in workplace contexts, disagree constructively if there is disagreement, listen carefully to conflicting perspectives on the case that may be provided by others in the team or in the class, resolve conflicts when possible, and learn to moderate a discussion about ethical issues with their peers in the class. We believe this exercise can help prepare students for the ethical challenges they will face; ultimately, successful completion of the project should also improve their leadership skills.
Step 1. Self-reflection on past experiences.
First each student must spend at least one night reflecting on his/her past experiences in a co-op or internship setting. If the student has had other (non-engineering) work or volunteer experiences, those can also be acceptable. Typically we ask that students to consider a fairly recent experience. This self-reflection is very important: students may have experienced an ethical dilemma but simply did not recognize the ethical dimensions of the problem at the time. It can help to ask them to think of a time when they were given a particularly difficult problem to solve at work, perhaps one that involved communicating with difficult people. A typical ethical dilemma has potentially negative impacts for some stakeholders. Sometimes we have a few students who have a lot of difficulty with this part either because they have no work experience at all, or because they really can't think of a significant conflict at work. In such cases it can be acceptable for them to choose an ethical dilemma from an academic experience in College, or from involvement in their student organization.
Students are reminded early and often that they should keep their stories as anonymous as possible: they should not share real names of the company or individuals in any story they share. We do this to ensure that they feel safe to share stories from experience.
When students have had a chance to reflect on their own experiences, we schedule a class day for team sharing and discussion of the different cases. By the end of class, we hope the team can reach consensus on which case they will choose to develop for the team case. They should choose a complex case: the best cases have multiple stakeholders, and potentially conflicting values, duties, and obligations; the possible options have significant consequences for the stakeholders. After reaching consensus, the team then meets outside of class to prepare about a 25-minute discussion that covers the details below. They must ensure that each member of the team has something worthwhile and significant to say to the class as part of this assignment. They should prepare to ask questions and involve the audience, and expect to be asked questions.
(1) Team provides some quick background on the case so we understand who the stakeholders are and what is at stake in the case. This background leaves out company names and any identifying information for the individuals involved, but gives us some generic information so we understand the purpose of the company and the roles of the stakeholders there. The team describes all stakeholders involved in the decision and all others who might be affected. To the best of their ability, they should also describe any preexisting tensions or pressures that we need to know about with these different stakeholders. They must articulate why it is an ethical dilemma, not just a technical problem.
(2) Sometimes ethical dilemmas arise because of a lack of information: the team should make clear if there were uncertainty factors, unknowns, or risks that were difficult to quantify; they should lay out the facts for all sides of the problem as clearly as possible, but identify the gaps that existed for the decision-makers if that is possible. The team should be sure to ask themselves: Were any elements unknown or uncertain to different stakeholders at the time, which may have had a bearing on the dilemma?
(4) The team should then analyze each option using the following questions.
Harm test: does this option have fewer negative consequences (both short and long term) than the other options?
Publicity test: would I want my choice of this option published online, or in the newspaper? If everyone were to find out I made this decision, would I still feel good about it?
Reversibility test: would I still think the choice of this option is good if I or someone I loved were one of those adversely affected by it?
Respect for persons test: does this option trample on anyone's rights? If so, is there anything that can be done to avoid trampling on individual rights?
Utilitarian test: does this option do the greatest good for the greatest number of people, without abusing any minority groups who might be negatively impacted?
Social Justice test: does choosing this option impact a minority group negatively? If there is no way to avoid negative impacts of this decision, is there any way to distribute the negative impacts so that no one minority group has to bear the full burden of the negative impacts?
(5) Team should arrive at an ethical solution using the tests above and the NSPE Code (or any code of ethics relevant to the case). Use an explicit reference to the tests above and references to any relevant part of the NSPE Code (available at the course homepage). Did your team reach consensus on the solution, or have no consensus? Why?
(6) Typically even the best solution requires a challenging communication of some kind. The team should describe next steps, and be clear about how they would communicate their resolution of the case, and to whom.
(7) Team should conclude their presentation by telling us what they think we can all learn from the case. What could have been done differently that might have helped people avoid the whole dilemma? Is there any way to prevent this sort of dilemma from happening again?
Tips on the Presentation Itself: Teams must distribute the work as evenly as they can within reason. Everyone on the team should have something valuable to say, with roughly equivalent time to say it. Time team members and keep the team on track. Visuals should follow course guidelines for strong visuals. Powerpoint is allowed to help the team anchor the discussion; be sure we understand the background on the case, the different stakeholders, your options, your analysis, and your solution. Teams should aim for no more than seven or eight slides, including the title slide. Delivery matters.. The presentation should not be memorized; it should be known well enough that each team member can speak naturally to us and use effective emphasis and energy. Teams must make efforts to make effective eye contact and interact with the audience so that the presentation can become a class discussion starter.
Q&A: The team should ask useful questions of the audience at the end of the presentation, to ensure that all are engaged in thinking about the dilemma and the team's analysis. Class feedback on the solution is important.
Clarity of the context/background information.
Complexity of the options/solutions or consequences of the solutions. Are assumptions carefully analyzed? Are reasonable negative ramifications anticipated?
Ethical reasoning skills: What systems were used to arrive at conclusions? Was the NSPE Code appropriately applied? the Ethical Decision-Making System used, with insightful use of moral tests?
Further development needed for any particular idea or option?
Teamwork: Well organized and fluid functioning as a unit? Reasonable management of ethical dissent?
Class discussion moderated with fairness and strong critical thinking?
Please see the attached rubric as a starting point, and modify to suit goals of your course.

Stephen E. Waters, D.C., Lic.Ac. (UK), D.N.M., PSc.D.
Dr. Waters' journey into healthcare began over 40 years ago while visiting Mexico. One day, an older man suffering from severe arthritis asked for help in lighting a cigarette as he was unable to strike the match. He was gently obliged. At that moment, Dr. Waters felt something very deep inside which changed the course of his life. He sensed his purpose was to help those who were suffering and to learn as much as possible about the principles and art of healing.
Thereafter, he was inspired to seek natural forms of healing, beginning his career as a Chiropractor (1978) and a Five Element Acupuncturist (1981). In order to begin the process of healing the body on all levels, Dr. Waters felt it was of utmost importance to treat the whole person, not just symptoms. He believed there was a more effective way to health than taking drugs for life.
After practicing a short while, he made the decision to go to medical school, but was disillusioned due to so much emphasis being placed on naming the disease rather than building health. Consequently Dr. Waters left medical school to continue the search for other methods of healing around the world. His travels took him to Turkey, India, Nepal, and Brazil where he witnessed not only different cultures, but different approaches to health, diet, nutrition and lifestyle. Feeling the need to continue his practice, Dr. Waters returned to his hometown in New Jersey, eventually reopening his practice and incorporating many of the healing arts he practices today.
Dr. Waters understands the importance of keeping abreast of the latest scientific research; applying it in an artistic manner using both a sprinkle of intuition and an umbrella of common sense. Ultimately, this triggers the body's innate healing mechanisms. Helping those who are suffering regain their health is his life's work and passion.
In 2012, Dr. Waters moved his practice to the Kansas City area where he currently resides.

You can find Devlin's Country Bistro's balanced dishes served at the restaurant in Mount Pleasant, just 10 minutes south of Brantford.

About Devlin's Country Bistro and Catering
This former combined general store, post office and residence has been an enduring fixture and meeting spot in Mount Pleasant since being built c1834 by Russell and Julietta Sturgis Hardy. It is the only survivor of a once thriving commercial section of the village.The building is significant as the birthplace of Arthur Sturgis Hardy, distinguished lawyer, legislator and 4th Premier of Ontario (1896-1899), who was born here during the Rebellions of 1837. Village lore is that at 1:00 a.m. on December 14, 1837 troops commanded by Col. Allan McNab marched through Mount Pleasant en route from Brantford to Scottland in pursuit of rebels led by Dr. Charles Duncombe from Burford who had gathered there. When McNab's company got to Mount Pleasant there was a light in a bedroom over the Hardy store so a suspicious McNab detailed a party to search the premises for conspirators. Russell Hardy answered the knock and invited the Colonel in to meet a newly-born son, Arthur Sturgis Hardy. Hardy seemed literally to have been born into the ranks of Liberalism, destined to enter the Ontario Legislature on the Reform (Liberal) ticket in 1873, again meeting Col. McNab who was there as a Tory member.
John and Sarah Devlin, natives of Ireland, came to Brant County in 1863 and took up farming. George F. Devlin, one of 8 siblings, became the first of four generations of Devlins connected to this site when he returned from Upper Canada College (Toronto) to clerk in the old Hardy store which he purchased in 1879. His brothers Hugh and Robert helped in the store in the early years; Robert later established his own store in Brantford. George set down strict policies to ensure the continued success of Devlin's General Store, with interest of 8% per annum charged on overdue accounts. George's son Edwin J. Devlin came next, setting up a post office in the back when he became Postmaster in 1925. The business prospered and Edwin passed it on to his son Robert C. who operated it until 1990 when his son Chris, the current owner, who had been interested in the culinary arts at a very young age, fulfilled his dream of opening his own restaurant.
With its high gables and upper storey arched window centre front, the building is Ontario vernacular Neo-Gothic in style although now with some features obscured by alterations and without its characteristic graceful bracketed verandah which once wrapped around the front and side. Gables which now overlook the parking lot originally faced a garden enclosed by a picket fence. The north side is interesting as the wall bends to accommodate the alignment of the old Mill Road (now Burtch Road) which was a route to the Perrin Mill farther east.
The Devlin family has prospered here in this landmark building for over 125 years and continues today a Mount Pleasant tradition of offering a warm welcome and hospitality to all.


51 Costco Vegan Products that You Need to Try!
If you're vegan and you shop at Costco then you need this list of 51 Costco vegan products! Every item on my shopping list is label-checked, taste-tested, and picky husband-approved!
This post is not sponsored by Costco but it does contain Amazon affiliate links. These are the Costco vegan products that I buy and use on a regular basis.
I recently shared a list of my favorite organic + vegan products at Trader Joe's— not just a list of ALL the vegan products at TJ's but a list of the vegan products that I actually buy and use. So many of you reached out and told me how much it helped you to have a realistic shopping list for Tj's that I thought sharing my Costco vegan products shopping list would also be helpful to you!
If you want to see what I buy at Whole Foods, check out this list –> The BEST Whole Foods Vegan Products!
Please leave a comment if there are any other stores you'd like to see vegan shopping lists for!
I do a majority of my grocery shopping at three stores with occasional trips to Whole Foods and Sprouts. I buy bulk items at Costco, organic produce at a local market, and specific products (inexpensive organic vegan wine, coconut aminos, my favorite vegan granola bars) at Trader Joe's when I can make a trip there.
Even though you have to buy a membership to shop at Costco ($60 for one year), I still think it's worth it because they offer lots of perks in addition to low prices.
Their return policy is awesome! You don't even need to bring your receipt because they can look it up on your account.
Members can get cheaper gas at the Costco gas station.
Discounts on movie tickets and restaurant gift cards.
Product samples to snack on while you shop!
I've done a lot of price comparison research on the following organic + vegan products and Costco -by far- has the best prices. That's why it's worth it to me to buy things in bulk because we're on a budget and I cut every corner possible so we can afford all of the fresh organic produce that we could possibly eat. Here are 27 Cheap vegan meals you can make on a budget if you need some inspiration!
Let's get to it! The following list has all of my favorite Costco vegan products that I really buy and use on a regular basis. Have you tried any of them? Did I miss any of your favorite vegan products?
Note – Costco's products tend to vary by store and they also seem to go through a seasonal rotation on products so don't be surprised if you don't find all of these products at your local store today but they might pop up in a few months!
These coconut clusters are insanely delicious and addicting! I bought it with the intentions of sprinkling it over rawnola bowls that we like for breakfast but it's so tasty on its own that we end up just snacking on it right out of the bag.
This is the best price I've found for organic quinoa anywhere! The price occasionally goes down to $8.99, so if you see that– stock up! What makes this quinoa even better is that it's already washed, so it saves you a step while you're cooking!
Not sure if you like quinoa? Try it in quinoa crust pizza or in quinoa taco meat!
We eat a lot of brown rice and this is a great price! It's inexpensive, it's versatile, and it goes with so many recipes–> Try this spicy vegan sausage and peppers rice skillet, it's fantastic!
Note – If you're worried about weevils growing in a bag of rice this big, just pop it in the freezer for 24 hours (or store it there indefinitely, that's what I do) and any eggs that are already in the rice will die.
I make an effort to cook everything from scratch but sometimes you just need something that's already cooked. We live in Florida, and last September, we lost power for one week after Hurrican Irma hit. We practically lived off these soups during that week…in case you were wondering, they're delicious hot or cold, and the cans are BPA-free.
I hope you never need this list but just in case you have to deal with a hurricane one day, check out this list of 30 non-perishable vegan staples you should stock up on for a hurricane.
Amy's soups are much more expensive when you buy them individually so this is a great deal to have a ready-to-eat item on hand just in case you need it.
I've tried a lot of gluten-free pastas and so far, chickpea flour noodles are my favorite! They hold their shape, taste like a regular noodle, and they're loaded with protein!
Not sure what to make? Try making super creamy vegan mac and cheese with these noodles!
I use dates for any recipe that I want natural sweetness –> like in rawnola breakfast bowls or in mango coconut dark chocolate bites.
I also like to cut the date in half, add a dollop of peanut butter, then dip the stuffed date in melted dark chocolate and freeze it until set. You can thank me later…it's AMAZING!
I like to have a jar of these fire roasted red peppers in the pantry at all time! I like to blend them up into a sauce for pasta or slice them and put them in wraps or on sandwiches. It's a huge jar and you can do so much with them!
Not sure what to make with fire-roasted red peppers? Try this recipe for 15-minute fire roasted red pepper pasta!
If you like beets you have to try these pickled beets! They're so sweet and tangy, we are obsessed– I even got my mom hooked on them too! I always add a few to our salads or we just eat a couple slices as a snack. They're addicting!
You always need to have a few jars of tasty tomato sauce in the pantry for nights when you don't have time to cook.
Or you might have time to cook these delicious lentil meatballs but you don't want to make your own sauce. It's totally okay to use shortcuts once in a while, especially when this sauce is lower in sodium and sugar than most other jarred sauces out there.
This is the best price that I've found for (2) 28oz jars of organic peanut butter! It's super creamy and has a delicious nutty flavor.
We use peanut butter as a spread on toast, in salad dressing for my favorite quinoa arugula salad, and in chocolate peanut butter dessert hummus!
Before I got my Instant Pot, I always bought these 8-packs of organic black beans. The cans are BPA-free and at only $.85 per can– you can't beat the price of convenience. Another plus– compared to most canned black beans, they're extremely low in sodium, only 85 mgs!
Eat a lot of black beans? Try these 30-minute sweet potato black bean burritos or this colorful rainbow salsa recipe!
If you're not gluten-free, you have to try these noodles! I don't know what it is about them but they have the best texture and the shapes are super fun.
Try the noodles with this 15-min vegan alfredo sauce recipe, it's so creamy and delicious!
The vegan white cheddar flavor is my favorite snack of all time, they're so dang good! Plus, this is such a better price than paying $3-$5 for a tiny bag at a regular store.
I love these quinoa noodles, they have such a noodle-like texture that you really can't tell that it's gluten-free! It's one of those items that's in the rotation so even if they get rid of it for a few months it usually comes back. However, if I see the dreaded asterisk I will buy a few bags and keep them in our freezer just in case.
Try this vegan pesto pasta bake with the GF quinoa noodles, it's delish!
I try not to use any refined sugar in my recipes so whenever I need a liquid sweetener (like in this carob peanut butter dessert hummus) I use this maple syrup. It's delicious drizzled over oatmeal too!
This is a great value! If you buy organic raw ACV at a natural market you'll pay this price for one smaller bottle! Just remember to cut up and recycle the plastic handle, save the turtles!
Just remember to cut up and recycle the plastic handle, save the turtles!
Artichokes are one of my favorite salad toppers (I've also been known to eat an entire small jar in one sitting) and I only buy them in water, not in oil. These artichoke halves are delicious and a great price!
I also use the artichokes to make the best vegan spinach artichoke dip or vegan stuffed shells!
This is a great price for such a huge bag of ground flaxseed! I put it in our daily fruit smoothie, in rawnola, and as the binder (egg substitute) for lentil meatballs.
My whole family LOVES these little sunflower puffs! They're so delicious and addicting but they're good for you so I'm totally okay with that. I like to bring a bag of them with us to Disney World when we go to the parks so we have something healthy to snack on!
We go through raw cashews like crazy. I use them to make vegan recipes super creamy!
Try this vegan broccoli cheese soup, it's so creamy and cheezy!
Costco seems to rotate between this brand, Angie's, and Skinny Pop. All three are organic, vegan, and delicious. If you see them on sale for less than $4, it's a great deal– stock up!
I love love love these tortilla chips because you can actually see all the seeds and grains in each chip! I always buy a few bags when they go on sale.
These crackers are delicious! We love to eat them plain or dipped in hummus or with salsa.
I love this brand, their vegan bacon is super delicious too. We don't eat a ton of prepared foods but I like to keep a few options in the freezer just in case of an emergency.
I add chia seeds to everything–> Salads, granola bars, smoothies, etc.
Like chia seeds? Try this cherry kiwi mango chia seed pudding, it's a super quick and easy breakfast!
I normally buy Ezekial bread at my local market or at TJ's (they have the best price!) but if we're out of bread and I don't want to make any other trips then I get this bread. It's delicious and a great price for 2 organic loaves.
We go through carrots like they're going out of style. I always add them to soups, stews, salads, or use them for carrot dogs!
Like carrots too? Try this recipe for creamy ginger carrot sweet potato soup, it's so delicious!
This is a great price for organic baby spinach! We eat a lot of spinach– soups, salad, pasta dishes, etc.
Like baby spinach too? Try this recipe for pesto spinach quinoa stuffed tomatoes, it's one of our all-time favorites!
This is a great price for 6 heads of romaine lettuce! It's usually $2-$3 for one head at the market.
I love these ramen noodles for when we make ramen noodle bowls or lo mein! They have great texture and taste delicious!
This is my all-time favorite medium roast organic coffee, it's so mellow and delicious! It's also the brand that Disney World serves so you know it's gotta be good!
Note – Costco has a coffee grinder at the front of the store to use free of charge when you buy coffee beans from them.
My husband, Travis, loves these sparkling waters as mixers for drinks. I used to buy an organic cola for him, but once I started trying to cut most sugar out of our diet the mixers had to go. I'm okay with this brand of sparkling water because each can has only 3 grams of sugar and nothing artificial.
This is a great price for organic almond milk!
Like nut milk? Try this recipe for spicy red curry chickpeas and veggies, it's easy and delicious!
I loveeee kombucha but I won't pay more than $2.99 for one bottle. $2.41 per bottle is a great price but keep your eyes open for a sale because it often goes on sale for $11.99. That's when I stock up!
This acai juice is so delicious. We don't normally drink juice at home but when this is on sale I make an exception– it's that good.
Like acai juice too? Try this acai chia seed pudding recipe!
You just can't beat $1.47 for a pack of sprouted tofu, this is a great deal! If you think that 4 blocks are too much for you, just put the extra blocks in the freezer.
I actually always freeze my tofu first because I think it helps to get rid of excess water better while it's defrosting. Then I press it (with my tofu press) and use it crumbled in veggie tacos for extra protein and in taco tofu stuffed tomatoes!
Frozen riced cauliflower is a staple in my freezer because it's so easy to cook and it's so convenient to have it already ready to go! Some nights I need a quick dinner and this is my go-to main ingredient.
We love to use it for cauliflower "fried rice" or mixed with quinoa in lettuce cups!
This package easily has two large heads of cauliflower in it. An organic cauliflower can run $3-$6, so considering that the work is already done for you, this is a great deal!
We don't eat processed foods on a regular basis but on some super busy nights you just need something quick. Or if I'm not home, Travis can make this for himself. It's a good option to have just in case and they really do taste like chicken– it's pretty crazy!
Just like the tenders, this is another busy-night-I-don't-have-time-to-cook option. These burgers are super delicious, especially when you load it up with butter lettuce, beefsteak tomato slices, spicy chipotle sauce, and guac on a toasted Ezekial bun…yes, please!
This is the best frozen broccoli that I've ever tried! It's big stalks of broccoli, not little dinky bits + it's a great price!
You can't beat $1.29 lb for organic green beans! Just like the broccoli, I would say they're very high quality, fresh, green beans. They turn out perfect every time and they don't have that soggy frozen taste to them!
Costco has the best selection of frozen fruit at the best prices!
I use frozen mango in salad dressings, smoothies, 2-ingredient mango popsicles, fruit puree, etc. There are so many delicious ways to use it!
These acai bites are so delicious! They're the perfect 2-inch size– just big enough for a sweet treat after dinner but not big enough to make you feel guilty for eating dessert during the week when you promised yourself you'd only eat sugar on the weekend.
Surprisingly, they aren't that high in sugar compared to other desserts but they taste like they're really bad for you!
I hope my Costco vegan products shopping list helps you the next time you go grocery shopping! I've tried all of these items and each one has my stamp of approval on them. Did I miss any of your favorite Costco vegan products? Let me know in the comments!
Make sure you check back in a few days for my list of Cheap Vegan Dinner Recipes to help you save even more money eating vegan!
Wait, don't go yet– I have a few more items for you!
The following items are Costco products that we use every day but are not necessarily vegan or food-related.
I've been using these glass containers every single day for 5 years now and they've held up very well. I absolutely love them– I even got my mom to switch out all of her plastic containers! I don't use plastic Tupperware because I don't want plastic chemicals to be leaching into the organic food that I prepare. Yuck!
The lids are plastic but they're BPA-free. The glass containers are oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe (although, we don't use a microwave so I can't guarantee that medium) but I have put them in the dishwasher (glass + plastic lid) hundreds of times and I've never had a problem.
When I first found the glass Snapware containers, I was buying pieces individually from Publix ($4-$8 each!) but $29.99 for an 18 piece set (9 containers) is a much better deal– if you can find them on sale for less ($22.99! WOW!) then stock up!!
We've been using these pillows for over one year now and they've held up very well, they are still fluffy and comfy! I like that they have a hypoallergenic filling and an organic cotton cover.
I got my FoodSaver a few years ago at Costco so it's not the same version but it's very similar. Whenever I find a great deal on organic produce (mainly bell peppers, carrots, celery, and apples) at the local market that I shop at, I stock up and then freeze it in portions. That's one of the ways that I save money on organic produce– always check the sale section when you grocery shop!
We've been using this laundry detergent for years, we love it! I used to buy a bottle that was half its size for the same price at a natural market. Whenever it goes on sale at Costco, I buy 2-3 bottles to stock up. This is a great deal!
Okay, that's really it this time! These are all the Costco vegan products + a few household items that I honestly buy and use on a regular basis.
I hope this list helps you!

transitive.reduction in nem does not always return the transitive reduction unless one applies transitive.reduction on the transitive closure of the graph. So I think that either the code should be fixed (by using transitive.closure first) or the documentation fixed (but this second route seems dangerous for those who do not read the help carefully). This bug will probably also affect rBiopaxParser (its transitiveReduction function).
as you noticed rBiopaxParser uses the transitive reduction function implemented in package nem.
Holger Fröhlich (package maintainer) mentioned that a bug fix for this should be supplied with the next nem version.
