According to a 2007 paper by the National Council of State Supervisors, childhood bilingualism increases academic progress, narrows the opportunity gap, enriches cognitive development, and promotes cultural awareness. Many other research studies also support this claim. Research has strongly shown that all children, regardless of their background, benefit from childhood bilingualism.
The Hoa Mai Vietnamese Bilingual Preschool was designed according to this body of research. Our center focuses on the rich history, culture and language of Vietnam and the Vietnamese community. We add to the existing richness and diversity of Southeast Seattle, which already includes bilingual Spanish, French and Japanese preschools. While Hoa Mai is based on the Vietnamese language and culture, other centers in our consortium focus on Spanish and Somali. If these better meet your needs, we're happy to connect you!


LA PORTE, TX (KTRK) -- A La Porte man is accused of donning a zebra mask and brandishing an AK-47 to rob two La Porte hotels earlier this month.
Keith Duncan cracked a brief smile as he made his first court appearance today. The charges he's facing, however are no laughing matter. Police say Duncan is the man seen in motel surveillance video wearing a zebra mask and carrying an AK-47.
"He would approach the front counters and demand cash from the clerks," said Sgt. John Krueger with the La Porte Police.
Duncan is accused of robbing a La Quinta and a Quality Inn, both in La Porte on June 3. Eyewitness News found Duncan's girlfriend, Peyton Ray, who told us Duncan was acting normal the hours before the alleged crimes.
"We were watching movies," she said.
We then asked if Duncan left the house.
"I guess so," said Ray, "I went to sleep."
Police say an anonymous tip led them to Duncan. When they checked his Facebook page, they saw a photo of his girlfriend wearing what appears to be the same zebra mask, and giving Duncan a kiss. That was a major break in the investigation.
"The mask was actually part of it on Facebook, and there was some discussion as to the specifics of the crime," said Sgt. Krueger.
Armed with the Facebook photo and surveillance video, investigators were able to nab Duncan.
Police also recovered a loaded AK-47 legally owned by Duncan.
"He confessed and he is currently waiting for his time," said Ray.
If convicted, Duncan faces between 5 and 99 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

When you have to prepare meals on a daily basis, it can turn into a monotonous routine. Learn about the different methods of cooking to make things more exciting in the kitchen! Cooking can be more than just food preparation; it is an always-fertile field of study and possibly an enjoyable hobby. Here are a few great tips on cooking to help get you going.
Get a cookbook with easy recipes or a specific theme you find interesting to get you started. Try looking online or to your local library or bookstore. Be patient, and try several recipes. Like any skill, cooking can take practice.
When you need to add oil and your food is already cooking, add it on the sides of the pan so that it will heat as it rolls towards the food. This will give more flavor to what you are cooking.
There is a great trick to thicken up your sauce so it isn't wasted. Use a bowl to combine 1 Tbsp of corn starch with 2 Tbsp of water. Stir the mixture into simmering sauce to make the sauce thicker. Stir constantly as you pour the cornstarch and water mixture slowly into the pot.
If your burgers seem to be sticking to the surface of your grill, it may be hard to take them off without breaking them. To prevent your burgers from sticking, brush the grill with oil prior to cooking.
When you make chicken stock make as much as you can. Fill a large pot of stock and freeze it for later. You can use the stock as a base for all kinds of soups or even casseroles. Allow your stock to cool, then put portions in heavy-duty Ziploc bags made for freezing.
When you cook vegetables, use chicken broth. Cooking vegetables in chicken broth is a low-fat, flavorful option. Chicken broth is economical and widely available.
The best way to cook any roast quickly is to simply not go through the trouble of taking out the bone. This way, it will allow the meat to cook faster because the bone will help carry heat to the center of your roaster. It is easy enough to cut the meat off the bone once the roast is cooked.
It is important to buy new spices at least every six months. Quite often, spices pass their sell-by-date before you use them up, losing their flavor. If you buy a certain spice and you know that you are not going to use it all before it goes bad, give half to a friend or family member.
If your meals include fresh herbs like dill or parsley, clump them together and use kitchen shears to cut them. This chopping method produces lighter, fluffier herbs that are drier than conventionally cut herbs.
Before you cook ground meats, be sure to blot away excess moisture with paper towels. Before preparing ground meat, you should blot away excess moisture. Moisture that is left on your meat will release as steam while you're cooking. It will sizzle and dissipate. This can cause the meat to become steamed instead of seared as it should be.
Cooking is a stylish hobby that anyone can enjoy. You can learn a lot about food by simply cooking it. Chances are, you'll discover a thing or two about yourself that you didn't know before and open new possibilities. When you have fun and enjoy cooking, your enthusiasm itself will enhance your dishes.

Chantel I just wanted to confirm your age for me, because I understand that you started modeling at age 40?
I am 43 years young, but I started modeling at 41.
Wow, that's a pretty bold move at 43, how did you start modeling?
I have always wanted to model since I was maybe 11 years old, but I started my modeling career thanks to a past job. The field that I was in caused me to be in constant contact with International Model Scout out of Harrisburg, PA. After working with the agency for some time the head of the agency asked me if I was interested in modeling, So I applied as a Spokesmodel and thus my career began.
What pushed you over the edge and made you realize that this was your time to get into modeling?
I've been through a lot. I had my first child at 16, but I was always a very attentive mother. I believed in being present in my children's lives, therefore my life had to take a back seat to raising my three kids. Being raised in the projects was the only life I knew, therefore I felt that that was the kind of life I deserved, but having my kids changed my perspective. My son is now 28 and my daughters are 23 and 16. Now that they are grown I feel that I have more time to follow my dreams.
When did you realize that nothing would stop you from modeling?
It happened in my 40's- I had just driven 6 hours to Cleveland Ohio to an audition and waited in line for 4 hours with rain and wind. I am just that thirsty and hungry for my success and when God is willing to move for you He will but we are in charge of our own destiny.
How would you say living in the Projects has affected you and transformed you as a model?
Where has Modeling taken you so far?
I have been blessed in every modeling job that I've gone for including Atlantic City Fashion Week and Harrisburg Fashion Week. Everything I auditioned for I always seemed to land a part, even though it wasn't always the part I was going for. I'm thankful and grateful for that.
Where do you draw your inspiration? What keeps you pushing?
I draw my inspiration from what I've been through and from my kids. As a child I wanted to be in any and everything, whether in school or the neighborhood. It's one of the many reasons I won Miss Ebony 84. I'm raising my daughters the same way; I push them to try wholesome things so they experience the fullness of life.
Listening to you, you seem to be a woman of faith. How does your faith play a role in your success?
I believe my faith is what connects me to a higher power. I step out on faith. I would kneel down next to my bed when my kids were playing or in the other room and thank God for His blessings. God sees the love I have in my heart through my actions. I'm a helper and a caretaker and through my actions I know God sees the good and He pours out His blessings on me.
What has been the feedback to your modeling?
People have said, "Your too old to be modeling, or your to old to be acting," People just don't realize that you're not aging backwards. The younger generation are usually the people who seem to see this but the reason they say these things is because their dreams are not half as big as mine, I hope they have as much ambition as I do at my age.
Where do you see yourself and your career in five years?
I believe when I rise my family rises. I see myself being so successful I can't run my business myself because my schedule for movies and modeling are so booked. I see myself doing a lot more outreach in shelters and the YMCA, reaching out to women who are in situations similar to mine in the past.
As a mother, what do you say to other mothers who feel they can't live out their dreams because of motherhood?
Don't give up on your dream(s). If your circumstances don't allow it now wait until your kids are older and then pursue your dreams to the fullest. Don't let anyone take away from what you want to do. Surround yourself with people who have similar dreams or those that have even bigger dreams who help aspire you towards greater heights.
Take life easy and try not to live in the fast lane.
What do you mean when you say the fast lane?
I know a lot of young men and women who let promiscuity and drugs take over their life; it's a prominent sight in Harrisburg. I would tell them to have a plan take some time to be children, you'll be adults your whole life. I can testify to it in my own life having recently lost a son to that sort of life.
Where can we go to see more of your work? is there a website or blog that we can look up?
People can see more of my work on www.thejblairbrown.com. My Fan page is "IamChantel" on both Facebook & a site called Backstage.

Drukgyal Dzong
Drukgyal Dzong was a fortress and Buddhist monastery, located in the upper part of the Paro District, Bhutan. Now in ruins is located 14kms north of Paro town, near the end of the paved road. Its name means victories fortress and was built 1644-49 to commemorate the Bhutanese victory over the Tibetan-Mongol forces. It was later burnt in fire by accident in 1951. On a clear day, Mt. Jumolhari, Bhutan's holy peak can be seen against its backdrop.
Drukgyal Dzong was one of the four principal Dra Dzongs (defense fortress). Accounts differ on the founder of Drukgyal Dzong. Most writers feel that it was Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal who built it to commemorate his victory over the Tibetan army in 1649. Others believe that it was Tenzin Drugda, the second Desi, (who was Paro Penlop at the time) who built it at the behest of Zhabdrung Nawang Namgyal. Despite differences of opinion on the founder of the Dzong, people agree on the fact that it was built to commemorate the victory of the Bhutanese over the allied Tibet-Mongol forces. Hence the name Druk Gyal "the fortress of victory' The Dzong was used as a summer residence by the Ringpung Rabdey. In 1951, in the 10th month of Bhutanese calendar, on the last day of the three-day annual prayers, the Dzong was burnt. It is said to have been caused by the fire when a butter lamp fell in the central tower. Only the ruins of giant walls, charred gigantic wooden posts, beams and watch towers can be seen of what was once an important fortress that repelled several invasions from the north.

SAP's new CEOs need to show vision, clear product roadmap to customers, observers say
Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe have their work cut out for them in delivering a clear vision for the future of SAP to a jilted customer base, according to industry observers.
Courtney Bjorlin, News Editor
In order to restore trust in its customer base, SAP's new CEOs need to deliver a coherent SAP product roadmap and vision, with a goal of lowering the total cost of ownership of running its applications, several industry observers and analysts suggest.
Customers want to understand how SAP's vision fits into their businesses and how it can help them optimize their existing SAP application landscapes. SAP needs to send clear messages on topics like pricing, company policies, delivery options and product priorities. It needs to focus on delivering a better end-user experience. And it may even need to find ways to allow customers to stay on older versions and innovate via on-demand extensions, according to interviews with analysts.
For more on new SAP CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe
Read an interview with Bill McDermott
Read what Jim Hagemann Snabe had to say about his priorities for SAP customers
"SAP has got to go back and articulate that they're committed long-term to the things that are important to customers -- the reasons they bought SAP in the first place -- the integrated suites, the deep industry verticals," said Gartner vice president and research fellow Jim Shepherd. "They want SAP focused on lower cost of ownership and more flexibility in terms of purchasing and deployment."
"SAP needs to come up with a believable yet audacious vision for the future," said Gartner research director Thomas Otter. "I watch SAP every day, and I find it hard to explain what SAP wants to do. If I don't understand that, how should someone who's a busy CIO understand and believe in SAP's vision?"
On Sunday, the Supervisory Board announced that SAP CEO Leo Apotheker had resigned after the board elected not to renew his contract, which was set to expire in May.
Several factors contributed to this non-renewal. Internally, an employee survey conducted in December garnered negative feedback and revealed low employee morale, according to Otter. In turn, SAP's financial performance over the last year hasn't been stellar.
Plattner: SAP lost its customers' trust
But a sigfnificant reason was the recognition that SAP had lost its customers' trust, according to Hasso Plattner, the company's co-founder. Such customer discontent came to a head with the introduction of SAP Enterprise Support, in which SAP tried to move its customers to a richer but far more costly support and maintenance offering, according to Ray Wang, partner at Altimeter Group. And Apotheker was one of the key drivers of the decision to increase maintenance and support fees from 17% to 22%.
"We made a mistake, and we have to change course here," Plattner said, referencing the Enterprise Support debacle, which he said wasn't solely Apotheker's fault. "SAP did this and now we have to regain the trust from the customers. Unfortunately, the head of the company takes a lot of the blame."
Along with naming Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe as co-CEOs, the changes put Plattner back into more of a leadership role. Moreover, with the appointment of CTO Vishal Sikka to the executive board, customers can expect Plattner to have a stronger influence over product development because, according to Otter, Sikka has a very close relationship with Plattner.
In a call with reporters, Plattner did make quick references to some of the challenges the customer base is facing -- acknowledging the huge hurdle for R/3 customers to upgrade to the ECC 6.0 architecture -- and told them "please trust that we have not forgotten you."
Plattner himself offered little explanation for Apotheker's departure, even explicitly saying that he was doing so "on purpose" and that he wanted to make only "forward looking statements."
But a coherent, larger vision wasn't relayed. He talked in spurts about the company's on-demand suite Business ByDesign, about in-memory computing and a database he promised to deliver by Sapphire, and about development of SAP on-demand applications. Hagemann Snabe and McDermott will be holding another call next week with more details.
Plattner took head on the complaint that SAP has paid too much attention to margin at the expense of customers. Margin, growth and innovation would be the focus going forward, he said.
"We are a public company, and profit is everything," he said. "But in order to be profitable, it needs to be a happy company. I will do everything possible to make SAP a happy company again."
But to make customers happy, SAP should focus on picking them up where they are -- such as allowing customers to remain on older releases and innovate via cloud extensions, Strategy Partners' Helmuth Gümbel said.
"I need to tweak the future in such a way it can be leveraged from a bloody old installation," he said.
Plattner thinks SAP's best days are ahead of it.
"I just remind you that the best years of Oracle were when Larry Ellison and Ray Lane worked together, the best years of Microsoft were when Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer were together," Plattner said. "I feel extremely confident that this is the right solution for a situation where we have to be extremely strong in the market while we do as much as possible on the innovation side."

SECTION(S): 41(1)
CATCH WORDS: bogus liability, cessation, remission
COUNSEL: Ashok Kotangle, Ex-parte

AY: 2010-11
S. 41(1) (old & unpaid liability for sundry creditors): It is well settled through series of judgments that merely because a debt has not been repaid for over three years, would not automatically imply cessation of liability. Exhaustion of period of limitation may prevent filing of recovery proceedings in a Court of law, nevertheless it cannot be stated by itself that the liability to repay the amount had ceased. Such liability cannot be termed as bogus
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY
ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION
INCOME TAX APPEAL NO. 1288 OF 2016
Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax19
..Appellant
Pukhraj S. Jain ..Respondent
Mr. Ashok Kotangle a/w. Ms. Padma Divakar for appellant.
Mr. Tanzil Padvekar for respondent.
CORAM : AKIL KURESHI &
M.S. KARNIK, JJ.
DATE : 4th JANUARY, 2019
P.C. :
The Revenue is in Appeal against the judgment of
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal dated 10/11/2015. Following
questions have been presented for our consideration :
1. Whether on the facts and circumstances of
the case and in Law, the Hon. ITAT was justified in
upholding the decision of the Ld. CIT(A) by completely
ignoring the contention of the revenue in respect of
violation of Rule 46A of the I T Rules, 1962 ?
upholding the decision of the Ld. CIT(A) wherein the
addition by the A.O., by invoking section 41 of the I T
Act, 1961 was deleted ?
::: Uploaded on – 09/01/2019 ::: Downloaded on – 21/09/2019 10:57:22 :::
51.itxa 1288-16.doc
2. Briefly stated the facts are that,
The respondent – assessee is an individual and
engaged in the business of imports. The Assessing Officer while
assessing return of the respondent – assessee for the assessment
noticed that there were several sundry creditors
towards whom the assessee had not repaid a sum of Rs.1.79
crores (rounded off) for over three years. The Assessing Officer
therefore after putting the assessee to notice invoked Section
41(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ('the Act' for short).
3. The assessee carried the matter in Appeal and in
addition to raising legal contentions, the appellant contended
that in subsequent years most of the creditors were paid off. The
evidence in this respect was produced before the Commissioner
(Appeals). The Commissioner (Appeals) allowed the Appeal
upon which the Revenue approached the Tribunal. The Tribunal
by the impugned judgment dismissed the Revenue's Appeal. The
Tribunal noted that the assessee was unable to repay the
creditors because of weak financial position and further that the
assessee had never completely stopped making repayments. The
Tribunal also noted that in next couple of years the assessee had
in fact repaid a sum of Rs. 1.54 crores out of Rs.1.79 crores. The
Tribunal, therefore, concluded that the assessee never treated
the liability to have ceased.
4. It is well settled through series of judgments that
merely because a debt has not been repaid for over three years,
would not automatically imply cessation of liability. Exhaustion
of period of limitation may prevent filing of recovery
proceedings in a Court of law, nevertheless it cannot be stated
by itself that the liability to repay the amount had ceased. Going
by this logic itself, the Assessing Officer, in our opinion,
committed an error invoking Section 41(1) of the Act. Further
the assessee had produced additional evidence on record before
the Appellate Authority after following the procedure and
pointed out that substantial portion of the debt was cleared in
later assessment years.
5. We do not find any error in the decision of the
Tribunal. Income Tax Appeal is dismissed.

Mr. N.N. Singh for the appellant
Mr. Mihir Naniwadekar I/b Alisha Pinto for the respondent
M.S. SANKLECHA, J.J.
DATED : 30th JANUARY, 2019
1. This appeals is admitted for consideration on following reframed
substantial questions of law 🙁
a) Whether, the respondent / assessee fulfills the requirement
stipulated in Section 80IA(
4) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 once
the conclusion reached is that it is contractor and not developer
as stated in the subsection?
(b) Whether, in the facts and circumstances of the case the
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that even if
the Assessee is termed as contractor he had developed, operated
and maintained infrastructural facility and hence entitled to the
deductions within the meaning of subsection?
2. Registry is directed to communicate a copy of this order to the
Tribunal. This would enable the Tribunal to keep the papers and
proceedings relating to the present appeals available, to be produced
when sought for by the Court.
3. Mr. Naniwadekar, learned Counsel appearing for the respondent
waives service.
4. To be heard along with Income Tax Appeal Nos. 183 and 184 of
5. We notice that the Revenue has proposed following additional
questions for our consideration 🙁
i) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case
and in law, the Tribunal was right in deleting the addition made
by the AO u/s 41(1) on account of bogus claim of expenses in the
name of labour contractors / subcontractors
which are
outstanding for a number of years?
(ii) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case
and in law, the Tribunal erred in allowing depreciation @80%
on civil construction, electrical and other nonintegral
installations ?
on civil work on which depreciation was allowable @ 10% and
since civil works are not specially designed devices, the same are
not entitle for higher rate of depreciation?
(iii) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case
and in law, the Tribunal erred in allowing higher rate of
depreciation on electrical and other installations without
appreciating the fact that electrical items are not part of
electricity generating apparatus but are part of electricity selling
apparatus and these constitute the block 'Plant and Machinery'
on which depreciation is allowable @15% ?
6. In so far as question no.(i) is concerned, the same arises out of
the additions made by the Assessing Officer under Section 41(1) of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 ("the Act" for short) on account of bogus claim of
liability. The Tribunal while giving relief to the assessee, referred to
the decision of the Supreme Court and other decisions holding that
merely because period of 3 years expired from arising of the liability
would not automatically mean that the liability has ceased. We do not
find any error in the view of the Tribunal.
7. Question nos. (ii), (iii) and (iv) relate to the Revenue's objection
to the assessee claiming higher rate of depreciation on the civil
construction, electric and other installations by the assessee in the
process of erecting and installing windmill. The Revenue argues that
the expenditure in such activities cannot be seen as a part of installation
of windmill and, therefore, the depreciation prescribed for the same
would not be available to the assessee. We notice that the similar
question had come up for consideration before this Court in Income Tax
Appeal No.1326 of 2010, wherein the appeal was dismissed by order
dated 14th June, 2017 making following observations:"
2. The Tribunal has recorded finding of fact that windmill
was erected in the desert area of Rajasthan which required
special foundation of reinforced cement concrete and that the
said reinforced cement concrete formed integral part of the
windmill. The Tribunal has also followed the decision of this
Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Herdilla
Chemicals Ltd. reported in (1995) 216 I.T.R. 742 (Bom) in
allowing the claim of the assessee. In our opinion, the finding
recorded by the Tribunal that RCC foundation forms integral
part of the windmill is a finding of fact and no question of law
arises from the same. Hence the appeal is dismissed with no
order as to costs."
8. In the result, these additional questions are not entertained.
(M.S. SANKLECHA, J.) (AKIL KURESHI, J.)
Surendra Kumar Jain vs. PCIT (Delhi High Court) The next question is whether the non-obstante clause under Section 153 of the Act, which prescribes a specific period of limitation to complete a search assessment for the block period concerned, could override the general period of limitation.

[size=46]Head of the Integrity Commission: smuggling tax secretariat funds out of Iraq was not easy[/size]
20:45 - 2022-11-27
The head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Haider Hanoun, confirmed today, Sunday, that important parties in the previous government contributed to stealing the sums of trusts.
Hanoun said, "The money was present in Iraq and in Iraqi banks, and these amounts were recovered with the acceptance of the accused, Nour Zuhair," pointing out that "the accused has real estate and companies, and integrity works to estimate them, and most of them are among the stolen funds."
He added, "There are many sums smuggled outside Iraq by the accused and research is underway for the purpose of recovering them," noting that "smuggling tax secretariat money outside Iraq was not easy, and there are two private banks and personalities who all participated in smuggling it."
He continued, "The government's project is real in combating corruption, especially with the participation of the judiciary, and this will lead to fruitful results," stressing that "the punishment of the accused will be according to the job they occupy, and that will be determined by the judiciary in accordance with the law."
He pointed out that "the government and the Integrity Commission's approach in this regard is to recover the money and the accused after that," explaining that "there is cooperation with many countries in which there are accused who stole the money of the Iraqi people, and the government is seeking through all channels to recover the money."
And he added, "We seek by all means to recover the money of the Iraqi people," pointing out that "cooperation and understanding are taking place well with the Kurdistan region on the issue of recovering stolen funds and the accused."

Reebok is Celebrating the Instapump's 25th Bithday with a Retro of the OG "Citron"
25 years and still going strong.
The Reebok Instapump Fury is still, 25 years after it's the first release, one of the most unique offerings in the sneaker world. A testament to designer Steven Smith and the Reebok Advanced Concepts team, its "pump-to-fit" technology in place of laces, its cut-out, wildly styled upper, and its two-piece midsole featuring DMX cushioning somehow hasn't aged. Its timeless abstract design is instantly recognizable, which has helped the silhouette build a back catalog of marquee collaborations from the likes of BAPE and Vetements. Hell, it's even wound up in the Design Museum of London.
Calling it iconic would be an understatement.
So for its 25th anniversary in 2019, we're expecting big things from Reebok, starting with a retro OG "Citron" colorway. The charge is lead by a strike of bright citron yellow-green with a popping crimson red and a pitch black; the Instapump Fury's classic color, like the silhouette itself, is still just as striking now as it was when it first arrived in 1994.
Each pair of this remastered runner will be individually numbered — ranging from 1-1994 — and they'll release on Reebok.com March 22nd for an even $200 USD.
Be sure to check out our Release Calendar to stay up to date with Sneaker release dates, add reminders directly to your calendar and find direct links for each drop.
Reebok Instapump Fury "Citron"
Style Code: V47514
Color: Black/Hyper Green-Red-White
Release Date: March 22nd, 2019

Paris Hotel Workers Strike Against Outsourcing
by Joe Hayns (@JoeHayns), Roberto Mozzachiodi (@ucu_rankfile)
Featured in A Month of Revolt in the Service Sector (#4)
'We Don't Give Up!'
by Joe Hayns, Roberto Mozzachiodi / Oct. 11, 2018 in A Month of Revolt in the Service Sector (#4)
One of most visited cities on the planet, Paris is renowned for its luxury hotels. While a one-night stay often costs several hundred euros, it can take workers, many of them immigrants, weeks to earn the same amount.
In the face of such rampant low pay—as well as the industry's infamously tough working conditions—many have turned to the Confédération générale du travail (CGT) union. Its Hôtel de Prestige Economiques (HPE; hotel workers) division counts hundreds of members across the French capital.
With the city's Fashion Week in full swing, CGT-HPE housekeepers at the Park Hyatt hotel are the latest to say 'enough is enough.' - Cole Stangler
Written by Amandine Cailhol and Gurvan Kristanadjaja, translated by Joe Hayns and Roberto Mozzachiodi. Originally published in Libération Thursday October 4, 2018.
Outside the Park Hyatt hotel, only a few metres from the place Vendôme1, a group of neatly-dressed tourists looked on, half-curious, half-amused: In front of them, thirty or-so employees of the prestigious establishment formed a human chain.
Other striking workers banged empty plastic bottles, chanting "On lâche rien, on lâche rien, on lâche rien!"— 'We Don't Give Up!" — and one, dancing, gave out flyers from the CGT's hotel workers' branch, with the capitalised inscription "Hyatt is lying to its clients". "They're made to believe it's a luxury, when we're exploited" says one of the workers, holding up a sign — "it's class struggle", they added.
On September 25, staff at the five-star hotel — cleaners, dishwashers, housekeepers, and others — began an "indefinite" strike2. Every morning, from 7am, they bang instruments underneath the hotel's windows - "we wake the clients", laughed one housekeeper. They have two demands: that the establishment stop sub-contracting, and increases wages.
The Palace which pays the least
"After two years of negotiation with management, we have decided to start striking, since it's our last option", said Sameh, delegate of the CGT union, standing beside the larger group. He is directly employed by the hotel; other striking workers are employed by a cleaning company, STN. This is their third strike since 2013. "Thanks to past actions, they got STN to increase their salary to €1900 a month, plus bonuses", explained the cégétiste.
According to Sameh, STN workers better paid than workers hired by Park Hyatt directly, earning over €3 per hour more, with free transport to work. "It's the palace which pays least of all", despite being more than profitable than many hotels, argues Sameh: "We've had access to the accounts. When we saw that they make €8 million profits in 2017 whilst categorically refusing to the increase the lowest salaries, that was the spark".
Wandé, also a member of the CGT, dances a little away from the makeshift drums. Showing his titre de séjour [residence permit], Wandé came to France from Mali in 1990, and has washed dishes at the hotel for seven years. His starting salary of €1300 per month has never been increased. He said he'd received a bonus from his employer - once.
At 63 years old he's three years from retirement; this is his first strike. "The noise, it's going well", he said, looking at the hotel's windows which, he assured us, have been empty since the start of the strike. "Ne pas lâcher" ('Don't Give Up'), he said, arm-in-arm with his colleagues.
"Everyone together"
Sameh, at the Hyatt for four years, has seen numerous people pass through the hotel. "The turnover is important. It's a hotel well-known for being #un lieu de formation#, a training place". This explains the low wages, and the fact that the strike is supported by around only 35% of Hyatt staff, said Sameh. "How can you convince younger people that have only been here a month to join us?", he asked. The current mobilisation initially attracted only the older workers, those who "are not able to take the risk of changing hotel", though other workers have joined the strikers' ranks over the last few days. Amongst sub-contracted workers, the ratio of strikers is far higher, at around 75%, said Sameh.
The question of money is at the heart of the conflict The small raise granted by management after the preceding strike was "not enough" said one of the striking housekeepers - workers want to be hired by the Park Hyatt itself, at the higher rate.
"We've got rent to pay, and sub-contracting is risky for us. One day the Hyatt might say 'we're changing companies', and we'd disappear in a flash", said another worker, adding that "whether we're sub-contracted or not, we're all demanding everyone's right to be employees of Hyatt, and to being paid properly". According to the CGT-HPE, management are blocking dialogue.
Cited by the AFP3, the hotel's general manager, Claudio Ceccherelli, has affirmed that the sub-contracting of housekeeping "is part of the economic model of the Hyatt chain's hotels across the world", and cannot therefore be changed by the establishment.
"No barbeque on Peace Street"
That strikers rely on donations from passers-by, and an online fund. The CGT has promised them €42 per strike day. Some of hotel's clients have slipped them a note; a few days ago, a rich neighbour even wrote the CGT a €20,000 cheque. "He signed it on the bonnet of a car", laughed a worker. But, some of the guests leave the hotel with sour faces, the strikers said. In the background, a valet admits that the noise has its impact: "Customers are leaving, yes. Some will probably not come back." Despite everything, the workers maintain that the atmosphere is, in fact, "peaceful". They brandish a photo on their phone to prove it: "A customer comes to dance every morning with us! Look, here he goes, into a Bentley. "
As the days go by, the mobilization settles in for for the long haul. On October 3, the union had planned a barbecue in front of the hotel, but it was turned into a picnic, "because the prefect said 'no barbecue on rue de la Paix'" says a striker. Instead of a eating merguez sausages4, Hyatt and STN workers took to airing their grievances through a microphone.
Two railway workers and the radical MP Clementine Autain attended the protest, showing support for the workers' struggle; last Friday (October 28) they were granted the right to protest outside the Hyatt de la Madeleine.
"If the boss agrees to our demands, we'll resume work tomorrow. If the boss doesn't agree, we'll stay put", said Wandé.

Fast Food, Shutdown!
by Callum Cant, Achille Marotta / Oct. 1, 2018
From A Month of Revolt in the Service Sector (issue #4)


While most would think that Kaliphlin only consists of sand, Kaliphlin's geography is more diverse than meets the eye, with just about every landscape that other guilds have.
The Kaliphlin Guild rules the Siccus Badlands, which are predominately a desert wasteland in the southern realm of Historica, with the Rakath Mountains in the east and the Wither Woods in the west. Kaliphlin's borders are roughly the oceans on the east, west, and south, and approximately a line running east from the center of the Wither Woods across the bottom of the Great Escarpment, and through the Rakath Mountains to the southern part of the Goolag Archipelago.
Although mostly comprised of deserts, Kaliphlin-ruled areas are the most geographically diverse in Historica, including deserts, swamps, grasslands, forests, alpine areas, glaciers, temperate rainforests, and jungle.
The major geographical features are: the southern deserts, the Rakath Mountains, the Wither Woods, the Arkbri, Red, and Qar-Akhen rivers, and the island of Gorr.
In the far west lies the vast Wither Woods forests and the farmlands of the South. These pitiful farms do not provide much food, but the vastness of the farmland provides enough space to grow food for the sparsely populated Siccus Badlands. A temperate climate prevails in these parts, and the landscape at times looks almost Avalonian.
Fed by the lakes and rivers of Avalonia and central Historica, the Arkbri River runs through the Siccus, and is the primary source of fresh water to the parched south. For the affluent however, the preferred water source is the glacial waters shipped from the Mitgardia's snow caps. The Arkbri is the major north-south trade route from the Siccus to central Historica, and from there on to Avalonia and Mitgardia.
Vast deserts stretch east from the Wither Woods and the Arkbri all the way to the southern Rakath mountains (e.g., the Westersands, the Nyika Tipu, and the Parched Lands). In some areas a Mediterranean climate prevails along the coast, but inland is a scorching arid wasteland, except for small oases fed by underground springs and settlements along the few rivers, such as the Arkbri and the Qar-Akhen.
Erezhi, the Lonely Mountain, is a massive volcano, alone in the middle of the desert. It is rumored to be an evil place. Nearby is the Salt Lake, a dry lakebed that is the terminus of the occasionally flowing Lick of Salt river. The upper reaches of the Lick of Salt flow through enormous canyons.
The northern border of the deserts is the Great Escarpment, a massive cliff that runs for hundreds of miles from the Arkbri River east to the Rakath mountains. To the south, surrounding the mouth of the Qar-Akhen River, are the mysterious Akhenaten Swamps.
To the east is the trailing end of the Rakath Mountain Range. The mountains are small compared to the lofty heights of the northern Rakath mountains, but still formidable. High in the mountains the snow never melts, and a few glaciers persist in the northern mountains. Under the shadow of the Rakath mountains lies the smaller Mystic mountains where various bands of Mountain Mummies will sojourn near the local villages during the oppressive scorching months.
The southeast corner of the Siccus is the land of Peregrinus, on the mountainous Cape Dahaka.
The eastern coast stretching northwards from the cape is mostly made up of rocky cliffs with steep fjords cutting well inland. The eastern slopes of the Rakath extend down to the sea, leaving little room for agriculture. These slopes are covered in deep, dark pine forests, and are almost always shrouded in fog.
The port city of Barqa, at the mouth of the Arkbri River, is the major trading hub in the western part of the Siccus. Here supplies from the north are shipped in and in return the Black Oil, spices, and other goods are shipped out.
In the middle of the vast southern deserts is Petraea, the ancient fortress capital which is the home base of the Kaliphlin. Shipments to and from Petraea travel along the Oil Road, stretching from Barqa to Qarkyr - always heavily guarded to protect from bandits.
The mountain fortress of Qarkyr stands in the Rakath mountains, acting as a sentinel over the inhabitants of the Nocturnus Darklands.
Other important cities include: Lost Vega, Stone Town, Mpya Stedor, Eastgate, Berigora, Messahmuk, and Ras-el-Akhen.
Kaliphlin-ruled areas are approximately 470 miles east to west, and 240 miles north to south. It's longest dimension is about 560 miles, from the northwestern coast in the Wither Woods on the Avalonian border to the far southeast islands off of Cape Dahaka. Gorr is about 130 miles across. Note that a man on a horse can cover approximately 25-35 miles per day, and a ship in a decent breeze can cover around 138 miles in 24 hours or 69 miles if only sailing during daylight (at 5 knots, some ships can probably do 8 knots).
From the Avalonian capital of Albion to Barqa in the western Siccus is about 265 miles by road, or 7.5 days by horse. And from Cedrica to Petraea, the capital of the Badlands, it's 271 miles by roads, which is nearly 8 days. However, it's probably faster to travel by boat from Cedrica down the Arkbri, disembark at Queenscross and travel overland to Petraea. From Barqa to Petraea would be about 215 miles by road, or just over six days on a horse. From Petraea to Qarkyr is about 144 miles, or just over four days on a horse. It is about ten and a half days (360 miles) from Barqa to Qarkyr.

Feindsender ('Enemy radio station''') was a term used in Nazi Germany to describe radio stations broadcast by enemies of the German Reich before and during World War II, such as the United Kingdom or the United States.  It also referred to radio stations in Germany which broadcast anti-Nazi material.  The term has not been in general use since the downfall of the Third Reich.

Background
As early as 1929, Soviet Radio Moscow broadcast German-language radio programs, mainly to support the agitation by the Communist Party of Germany against the Weimar government. After the Nazi Machtergreifung in 1933, anyone caught by the Gestapo listening to Radio Moscow could be sent to a concentration camp. The Nazis attempted to jam the broadcasts, this however also affected their own Deutschlandsender transmissions. In 1936 the Reich Ministry of Justice decreed that anyone listening to Radio Moscow could be prosecuted for treason. Secret Gestapo reports attested to the popularity of German-language programs aired by foreign radio stations.

Various new laws and prohibitions were put in place following the start of the second world war. One of the new law, introduced on 1 September 1939 (the first day of the German Invasion of Poland), was the "extraordinary radio-measures act" (). The law prohibited deliberate listening to any foreign radio station under threat of prison. Likewise all non-governmental radio transmissions were banned and the two-way radios used by German amateur radio operators were seized by the Reichspost.

Persecution
The BBC came to be regarded as the main Feindsender, and listening to the German-language longwave program from London was punishable with imprisonment. Broadcasts like Thomas Mann's Listen, Germany! were still widely heard. Radio Moscow, Voice of America, Vatican Radio and the Swiss Beromünster radio station were other widely known Feindsender.  Black propaganda broadcasters disguised as German armed forces stations like British Soldatensender Calais or Gustav Siegfried Eins and German pirate radio stations were also popular.

German citizens (Reichsbürger) denounced for violating the prohibition could expect to get off with warning for a first offence, or an arrest for a repeat offence, if they were listening to something relatively innocuous like comedy or jazz. However, spreading information considered demoralising was punished with incarceration or even with the death penalty. Death sentences were seldom based solely on radio listening but — in the cases of Helmuth Hübener and Walter Klingenbeck — rested on convictions for high treason or Wehrkraftzersetzung.

Estimates vary of how many listeners the Feindsender had. According to Sicherheitsdienst reports, a large-scale campaign in 1941, charging Nazi Blockleiter to visit the households in their area and attach warning paper tags to receiving sets, met widespread discontent. The author of Berlin Embassy, a bilingual American who traveled widely in Germany in 1939-40, estimated that 60 percent of Germans secretly listened to foreign broadcasts at low volume.  Listening to foreign radio stations has been dubbed "the little man's resistance" because, together with being friendly to forced laborers (also a crime, and punished even more harshly), and taking detours to avoid passing a Nazi memorial where one would be forced to salute (the Viscardi Way or "Shirkers' Way" in Munich) it was very common and, later, could allow individuals to claim they had never really been a Nazi.

 The term Feindsender in popular culture
 The Electro-Pop-band Welle: Erdball wrote a song called Feindsender'' 64.3.

This. This was somewhere in the realm of 8:45pm. An hour (or more) past bedtime and smack dab in the middle of the "grown-up dinner" we were all trying to enjoy. Our first night at Nana and Grumples' for the summer.
I am often exasperated by their bedtime shenanigans. The mess that they make. The noise that they make. The fact that I KNOW they are tired. The fact that I know they will be up and ready for tomorrow before 6 a.m. (and before their clock "turns green").
In fact, facing bedtime alone more often than usual is the thing I dread most about the summer. (I don't dread a whole lot about summer, but solo bedtimes can honestly be often panic-inducing).
So last night, when I stood up from my dinner and trudged upstairs for what felt like the fifteenth time, I was ready to yell (even though I know that just makes Sophie laugh and the boys cry and is rarely effective).
But then, I opened the door, and I found this. Amidst fits of giggles, there they all were, snuggled together for "camping" on the floor in between their beds. And I couldn't help but snap a photo and smile.
But for a few minutes, the thing that exhausts me most about having multiples was also the thing that made my heart swell. How lucky they are to have each other, and how lucky we are to have them. Even when they're not sleeping. Even when they're making a mess. And yes, even when they're bickering (though it is MUCH harder to find gratitude in those moments). So here's to longer days, later nights, and a summer full of slumber parties.
P.S. If you are eager to see more Henry, Jack, and Sophie she shenanigans, you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram (@estrumolo)…many more adventures await there, and I'm a little more regular about posting.
This isn't a great photo. At first glance, it is mostly just a reminder to me that we need to wash our windows 😳! But it is also a reminder to me to look up, to pay attention, and to marvel at the beauty in everyday moments. Like this sunrise. And how lucky I am to have three little beings, so young and full of wonder, to remind me. Today, it was Sophie, who after a long and sleepless night, burst into the living room and made a beeline for her stool. "To see what's happening!" she told me.
How lucky we are that the sun rises every morning. How lucky we are that the little people are here to notice it. How lucky we are to be up early enough to see all of our favorite colors fill the sky. Even if it is through dingy windows.
