: Health and well-being are central to the people management strategy:
05/27/2021 In a changing and complex environment marked by the new normal that emerged as a result of the pandemic, organizations have had to reorient their corporate health strategies. In this way, in the table "Health and Well-being, Top Priority", it is revealed how health and well-being is placed at the heart of the people management strategy. At this table, sponsored by SegurCaixa Adeslas, the people in charge of the people, health and well-being of Deloitte, Enagás and Repsol shared.
SegurCaixa Adeslas Area Director of Healthcare Quality and Services, Elena VidalSchedule manager " Health and wellness are a top priorityThe debate began noting that, after more than a year, We are not yet able to calculate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on companies and individuals. From the start, companies focused on preserving people's health while preserving, as much as possible, activity by spreading and expanding remote work capabilities..
In this context , Director of Occupational Medicine and Occupational Risk Prevention Service at Deloitte, Javier SanzList all the work the company has undertaken to ensure the health and safety of all professionals. And he remembered how, at the start of the epidemic, when the Spanish health system collapsed, the company's medical service relied on technology.
"We created an app that allowed us to have a picture related to COVID-19 for all the collaborators and partners in the company, and we ranked the level of risk based on symptoms to focus on the people most at risk, and help with contact tracing. It's an app that we made available to other companies without any benefit." Sanz explained.
The expert also recounted that Deloitte organized virtual meetings with CEOs of major companies in the country and came up with consensus protocols for specific actions. "Leadership is essential in crisis management. I was fortunate that the presidency and the advisory board exercised that leadership at all times and this facilitates procedures." Director added.

in this meaning, Enagás Personnel and Welfare Director, Susanna Torell, Also highlighted the importance of "From top management to union representation, they were all united and cohesive, with seamless and two-way communication." Susanna Torell reminded the audience that Enagás is a company that provides an essential service, and for this reason, "We have focused on ensuring the health and safety of our workers, knowing that we have to ensure the supply and take into account that more than half of our employees spread throughout Spain cannot work remotely." He added: "It is essential for everyone to know that their role is important, and from there, they will have a little moment of appreciation for each of the professionals who have been at the foot of the valley since day one. That is why, for us, it was very important that they know their purpose, and contribute to their environment, but they are They work safely and securely. "
finally, Repsol Director of Health and Wellness, Christina OrdonezHighlight an intense exercise everyone did. "We learned a lot because we didn't have the information. It was an exercise in sharing, planning, coordinating and listening.". "While some of us were working remotely, we had colleagues supplying those trucks that would bring us food home. This was a learning process in which driving, based on the COVID-19 Coordination Committee, was essential.". He concluded by saying: "The whole medical team was essential and the job to do this follow-up would be available to all people, providing the necessary information, providing protective equipment and supporting people who were from home.".
When talking about lessons learned from the pandemic and future challenges, Susanna Torell, from InagasMaintenance highlighted "This flexible communication, that active listening and thinking that we must rely on not only on the professional, but on the person. We need the person to continue to believe that his values are ours and to follow them completely. Let's see that this was not a reaction," But there will be continuity in the future. ". For this reason, the guidance confirms that the capabilities to be strengthened are "Listen, compassion, convey calm, connect the teams. We think it is necessary to work in a different way, whether people in the field or people working remotely." "We must promote health as a talent, and understand that we are body, mind and emotion, and that leaders themselves must manage these areas." Added.
In this line, Christina Ordonez, from RepsolHe highlighted it "This epidemic has brought this consideration to integrated health." He added: I don't think there is a single solution. You have to know how to analyze and define. In this analysis, we must consider all factors and listen, and from there, plan and execute in a coordinated manner with all people in mind. If we want a future, we all have to work together towards one goal. Sustainability has to be in every single one of our actions. For me, this is one of the great challenges: this cooperation, this coordination, and we all work together. "
finally, Javier Sanz, from Deloitte, I think that "The new normal will depend a lot on our ability to be all committed to public health. I think in this new normal, prevention services provided a model for cooperation with the national health system. This indicates that the normative development of this relationship is urgent. This new normal will happen. Because the prevention services are actively cooperating in the vaccination campaigns. "

12 tsp of Nutella or whatever chocolate hazelnut spread you prefer! If you're using a mini muffin tray, you'll use 24 half teaspoons.
Cover a baking tray or large cutting board in greaseproof baking paper. If you're making 12 cookie cups, drop 12 teaspoons of Nutella onto the paper, leaving at least an inch between the drops. If you're making 24 mini cookie cups, drop 24 half teaspoons of Nutella onto the sheet.
Pop your tray of Nutella drops in the freezer. It'll need to be in there for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Grease your muffin pan or mini muffin tin with butter (you could also use non-stick spray). Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees C (160 fan) / 350 degrees F / Gas Mark 4.
Using an electric mixer or hand beaters, beat the butter for a minute. Add the sugars and beat again for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix until combined.
If using a stand mixer, remove the bowl from the stand. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the flour and bicarbonate of soda, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to fold the sifted flour into the mixture until you have a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 12 or 24, depending on the size of cookie cups you're making. The dough is soft and sticky, so you'll need to flour the surface you're using.
Remove your Nutella drops from the freezer. The Nutella doesn't actually freeze, but rather just hardens up and it starts to soften again very quickly. So you'll want to do the next part of the process as fast as you can (no pressure!). Divide each of the dough pieces in two. Apply gentle pressure to flatten them slightly. Place a Nutella drop on one of the flattened pieces.
Curl the piece of dough up around the Nutella drop.
Place the other piece of dough on top and roll the ball between your palms to seal the dough around the Nutella.
Drop the balls of dough into your muffin pan. You don't have to press them down, the dough will soften and take the shape of the mould when baking.
Bake for 10-15 minutes. Ten minutes if you like your cookies slightly under-baked and doughy, and your oven tends towards the "hotter" end of the temperature range. Fifteen if you like them crunchier and crumblier. The batch in the pictures were baked to 15 minutes. I baked a second batch for 10 and the difference in the end product was clear. You might need to have more than one go at this recipe to get the bake you prefer. Just make sure your Nutella cookie cups have started to brown on top before you take them out of the oven.
Leave the Nutella cookie cups in the muffin tin to cool. I was so pleased with the shape the baked mini cookie cups had: the tray was honestly non-stick (for once!) and they came out looking like little biscuit mushrooms!
Like most biscuits, these are best when eaten still warm, fresh from the oven. With the Nutella cookie cups, this has the added benefit of the chocolate hazelnut centre being gooey.
In fact, once they've cooled, I'd recommend heating them up for 20 seconds in the microwave before you eat them. They're nice when cold, but delicious when warm!
Melting moments – delicious custard powder biscuits.
Gosh they look so good! These posts make my mouth water!
They are lovely. If the cookie cups are warm, I'd choose them over the cupcakes… and it's a hard choice!
OH MY GOSH these are the dream! We are going to have to make them!
They are absolutely delicious, even if I do say so myself 🙂 They're a new favourite in our house. I'll be making them all the time!
Haha! They are absolutely delicious. I made a second batch with a bit of peanut butter mixed with the chocolate and they were also incredible 🙂 Will have to make more next week!
They're much easier to make than you might think. And worth the effort!
These look DELICIOUS! I've never tried making something which a center filling– this will be a new challenge for me. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to baking these.
They are lovely. If you like peanut butter you can mix a bit with the Nutella before freezing (I did that on the second batch and they were lovely). I hope they turn out well for you. The only tricky bit is the assembly. But if you have plenty of flour to stop things sticking to the board and/or your hands, you'll be fine.
Ooh, that's a great idea! I'll have to try it.
Yeah, sticky dough can always be a problem. Your photos don't look that sticky, though! I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestions.
Oh no, just when I thought I was doing good with my Nutella ban!! They look too yummy!
Even though I say so myself, they were absolutely delicious. I made 2 batches in the week because the first lot disappeared to quickly.
Mmm looks delicious. Are these the ones you mentioned to me before that are your new favourite?
Yes! I made them twice in one week because the first batch vanished in under 2 days 🙂 It did mean I had the excuse to use a combination of peanut butter and Nutella in the second batch!

Amazon.com - Editorial Reviews on Fahrenheit 451. "In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic, frightening vision of the future, firemen don't put out fires--they start them in order to burn books."
Challenging Destiny - Fahrenheit 451. Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review by James Schellenberg. "Fahrenheit 451 is one of Bradbury's most famous books, and it reads like a fever dream -- intensely cinematic, directed by its own weird dream logic, and full of the quality of images that haunt you for days. ... The book is divided into three sections: 'The Hearth and the Salamander' introduces Montag at home and at work; 'The Sieve and the Sand' finds Montag increasingly disillusioned with his society; and 'Burning Bright' concerns Montag's escape and the eventual end of the society he left behind."

The Failure of Fahrenheit 451. Article by Jeremy Smith, Director of Financial Services at the Independent Press Association. Published on 13 October 2003 in Strange Horizons (www.strangehorizons.com), a weekly web-based magazine of and about speculative fiction. "Let's call it Cassandraism, after the daughter of Troy whose prophecies were not believed. ... Fahrenheit 451 has devolved into a near-total fiasco ... Today, no firemen roam the land literally burning books ... but they are merely a dramatization of Bradbury's true fears."
The incendiary prophet by David T. Wright. On Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Wright comments: "In it he managed to predict with frightening accuracy such current social pathologies as the dumbing down of popular entertainment and education, our growing addiction to empty sensory stimulation, the rise of random violence among youth, the increasing anomie and alienation among everyone, the cult of pharmaciæ, the cult of consumerism ... The amazing thing is that he did it more than 40 years ago."

Bradbury has decided to make news about the writing of his iconographic work and what he really meant. Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship.

Harry Potter and the Ministry of Fire by David Serchuk, from Forbes Special Report: Books. "In August 2003, two Michigan pastors, T.D. Turner Sr. and son T.D. Turner Jr., took a stand against sorcery by burning a Harry Potter book outside their Jesus Non-Denominational Church. ... One pastor, Douglas Taylor of the Jesus Party in Lewiston, undeterred, slashed and destroyed 12 Potter books instead. ... Ray Bradbury, however, thinks that Taylor is deluded. The 86-year-old author of the anti-censorship novel Fahrenheit 451 is a passionate advocate of free speech and believes Taylor and his ilk are at best clueless about their actions."

Fahrenheit 451: The Temperature at Which Book Paper Catches Fire, and Burns. Synopses and Reviews. "Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than 4 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 - originally published in 1953 - remains his most acclaimed work. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. Fahrenheit 451 is a short novel set in the (perhaps near) future when 'firemen' burn books forbidden by the totalitarian 'brave new world' regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is 'a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh and blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch.'"

"COFOLA INTERNATIONAL 2016. Resolution of International Disputes Public Law in the Context of Immigration Crisis
Author(s): Klára Drličková,Anita Garnuszek,Slavomir Halla,Miloslav Kabrhel,Silvie Mahdalová,Ľubica Martináková,Aleksandra Orzeł,Mária Pastorková,Kateřina Remsová,Iva Šimková,Lucie Zavadilová,Ivan Cisár,Tomáš Kozárek,Ivan Puškár,Martin Švec,Pavel Loutocký,Dóra Bogárdi,Gergő Kocsis,Soňa Ondrášiková,Eszter Lilla Seres / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

"I'm a poor lonesome cowboy and a long way from home…": српски документарни филмови о гастарбајтерима
Author(s): Marija Krstić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2013
In this paper I will analyze Serbian documentary films about guest workers dating from the last decade of the 20th and the first decade of the 21st century, using the perspective of visual anthropology. I question the popular cultural notions about guest workers in films Весеље у Ждрелу (A Celebration in Zdrelo) by author Kamenko Katic, Звона позне јесени (The Bells of Late Autumn) by author Zoran Milenovic, Кад је Милорад удавао ћерку (When Milorad Gave His Daughter in Marriage) by author Vladimir Milisavljevic, Странац тамо, странац овде (A Foreigner There, a Foreigner Here) by author Sandra Mandic and 242 метра живота (242 Meters of Life) by author Novica Savic. The films deal with a number of issues: the economic aspects of guest workers' lives, their liminal character, the issues of the second and third generations of guest workers, going away "temporarily" to work, and religious rituals. Even though the films were made recently, they all follow the lives of Vlach and Serbian, or rather Yugoslav guest workers who left to find temporary work abroad in Western Europe in the 1960's and 1970's. This serves the purpose of avoiding to deal with contemporary reasons for emigrating from Serbia and thus the possible critiques of current regimes or policies in power at the time the films were made.
"Islam" u anti-multikulturnoj retorici političara i antropologa Zapadne Evrope: kongruencija ili koincidencija?
Author(s): Marko Pišev,Miloš Milenković / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2013
The recent rhetoric of the "end" or "failure" of multiculturalism in Europe and beyond came as no surprise to anthropologists. Moreover, the statements made by leading politicians of key European economies seem as though they are based on the decades old anthropological critique of the consequences of the failed implementation of multicultural policies in Europe and on the global level. It is as though the messages we have been getting over the course of the last few years – that multicultural policies are contraindicated, that they weaken the contacts between cultures, rob individuals of the right to change and chose their identities and strengthen intra-cultural mediators of power, with patriarchy, violence against women and children, leaving school, religious fundamentalism and even terrorism as main consequences – are being read by politicians from anthropological analyses of abuses of collective "cultural" rights. The paper considers the nature of this similarity between the discourse of politicians and anthropologists with a special emphasis on the status of "Islam" in them, and discusses whether it is congruence or mere coincidence of stances toward minorities, immigrants and cultural differences, as toward the regulations which were tasked with protecting this diversity as a fundamental European value which today, at least at the rhetorical level, seems to be fading.
"İstenmeyen Rumlar": Odessa Ve Kırım'dan Yunanistan'a Göç Hareketleri, 1919
Author(s): Gürhan Yellice / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 57/2018
Shortly after the October Revolution of 1917, a civil war broke out in Russia between the Bolsheviks and the Tsarists, a war that lasted almost three years. The winners of the First World War, worried about a potential global revolution in the event of a Bolshevik victory, decided to send troops to Odessa and Crimea at the end of 1918 to support the Tsarists. For this purpose, they asked for help from Greece. The Greek Prime Minister Venizelos, who strongly desired full support from Britain and France for his plans concerning Izmir at the Paris Peace Conference, reluctantly agreed to help. Thus, French and Greek troops, at the end of 1918 and at the beginning 1919 respectively, were sent to the region. Nevertheless, shortly thereafter the operation ended in smoke, with the total withdrawal of the troops. Although the operation failed, Venizelos managed to gain the support of Britain and France at the Paris Peace Conference. This decision however, marked the beginning of a disastrous process for the Greek populations living in Odessa and Crimea. As an act of retaliation for Greek involvement, the Bolsheviks began to implement a policy of oppression and forced a violent displacement of the existing Greek element. Beginning in March and continuing intensively in April and May, this started a wave of immigration towards Greece which led to a serious crisis on the Greek political scene, right on the eve of the Greek army's expedition to Izmir. Venizelos tried very hard to direct this immigration to a region other than Greece, locating it specifically in Istanbul, Trabzon and Izmir. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the above mentioned process and its effects on the Greek political life of that period. The study is mainly based on the Greek and British Foreign Ministry Archives, British and Greek newspapers and English sources.
"Odljev mozgova" iz Jugoslavije
Author(s): Silva Mežnarić,Ivan Grdešić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 04/1990
Research into the emigration of highly educated labour, experts, and scientists from Yugoslavia to highly developed countries is intended to serve as an analytical basis for the creation of a policy and of means for the study and decrease of brain drain. Brain drain is a low-structured problem with a variety of causes and opposed values, to which there are no simple, fast, and final solutions. The authors present the main statistical data on the size and the dynamics of the brain drain and the basic motives and causes of this type of migration. The policy's purpose is to transform the one-direction drain into circulation of scientists and scientific information.
"Rajš' ko Talijana, sem zbrala Slovana"
analiza preseljevanj Slovencev na ozemlje držav nekdanje Jugoslavije in njegove posledice
Author(s): Marina Lukšič Hacin,Boštjan Udovič / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 2/2014
The following contribution analyses the history of emigration from the Slovenian ethnic space to the countries of the former Yugoslavia and its contemporary consequences. The main thesis builds on the understanding that the Slovenian emigrant community in the "Yugoslav state" was largely neglected from the viewpoint of operative politics as well as from the scientific study perspective. The analysis is divided into four historical periods, which differed significantly as far as the migration dynamics is concerned: the first migration stage (1850–1914), dominated by economic reasons; the second migration stage (1919–1941), when the political and cultural reasons also became important; the third migration stage (1945–1991), when the main reasons for migration were economic and ideological; and, finally, the article is concluded with the analysis of policy towards the Slovenian immigrants to the Yugoslav territory in the time of the independent Slovenia, together with all of its advantages and shortcomings.
"Sve što smo imali, sve što smo bili, svelo se na uspomene". Osobne Pripovijesti i pisma prognanika iz istočne Slavonije
Author(s): Irena Plejić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 15/1992
Based on three personal narratives and three letters of refugees from war struck regions of Croatia, the author investigates how such accounts can be approached as ethnographic data, the structure and contents of these accounts reveal that the war and refugee experience have influenced the way the refugees see themselves and think about certain core values of their culture. The author brings some insightful observations about the war as a period of reversed order, about gradual transformation of the cosmopolitan attitude of the inhabitants of Vukovar, about photographs and other mementos saved from the family house, which is seen as an irreplaceable determinant of the identity of the refugees, and finally, about the iconography of the refugees' current living quartos.
"Takvoga bogatstva oni nisu vidjeli"
Author(s): Marina Škrabalo,Tea Trkulja / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 15/1992
Transcribed personal narratives of two refugees from central (a Serb from Banija, male, about 60 years old), and eastern Croatia (a Croat from eastern Slavonia, female, about 60 years old) are treated in this text as ethnographic data. The authors have arranged their accounts in contrastive pairs which relate their attitudes, notions and commentaries about the beginning of the war in Croatia, about encounters with different armies (Yugoslav national army, Croatian army, etc.), about the transformation of daily life in war situation, about the things which the refugees thought were important to take when leaving their homes and about their return.
"The Application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process Model in the Process of Conflict Management"
Author(s): Nena Nenovska Gjorgjievska / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0
The incitement and the occurrence of the conflicts, their escalation, ceasefire and de-escalation are processes which are continually appearing, lasting and resolving. Consequently, the conflicts usually pull migratory flows. Migration is an issue which nowadays is very present, and it needs to be resolved. The migration usually starts where conflicts arise. Having that in mind, the main concept in the paper is focused on the conflicts and the emergence of the migration flows. It also gives a suggestion how the conflicts can be resolved in the Middle East countries. The purpose of this research is to find out real reasons for appearance of migrations and most rational solutions for their solving. For doing that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is applied. A short overview will be given of the main elements of the AHP method and how it is applied in the conflict resolution. AHP method is enforceable and leads to concrete recommendations for further conflict resolution. The results of the research will show that resolving the conflicts may contribute in suppression of the migration and it can also protect countries for further armed conflicts and unwanted migration flows.
"To nie my przekroczyliśmy granicę, to ona przecięła nas." Biopolityka europejskiego reżimu migracyjnego
Author(s): Łukasz Moll / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2016
This article reconceptualizes analytical tools suitable to theorizing the European migration regime by employing concepts developed by philosophers of biopolitics. By referring to border and migration studies, it diagnoses both the crisis of the traditional conceptualization of the border and the crisis of the post-Westphalian political order in Europe. Identifying the end of bordering practices as a result of the intertwining of sovereignty, territory, and population in the context of a neoliberal regime of capital accumulation, the article proposes to treat borders as productive apparatuses (dispositifs). While they support the desirable flows of people, they block the undesirable forms of circulation. In conclusion, the article argues that the co-existence of borderless spaces within the European Union with the arbitrary mechanisms of mobility control applied to non-EU migrants is impossible to maintain in the long run. Keeping the current status quo will result in the obliteration of the inside/outside division and a rupture in the strong link between borders and territory. In effect, the same apparatuses which aimed to make free mobility possible are becoming its main source of danger.
"You can't just step from one place to another": The socio-politics of illegality in migration from Zimbabwe to South Africa
Author(s): Shannon Morreira / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015
Drawing on anthropological fieldwork conducted in Musina and Cape Town, South Africa in 2010 and 2011, in this paper I present a qualitative analysis of the (largely illegal) means of entry of Zimbabwean research participants into South Africa, and their at-tempts to seek legal status once in the country. I present an ethnographic consideration of one woman's experiences crossing the border, augmented with quantitative data gathered from a sample of 45 migrants, in order to discuss the socio-political construction of 'illegality' in South Africa. I argue that while migrants may have entered the country illegally, this was in a large degree dictated by structural pressures. Migrants' attempts to legalise themselves are also structurally constrained: I, thus, argue that there is a need to unpack the socio-political process by which a category of illegality is made.
"Zdravo je biti Amerikanac": Rana hrvatska imigracija u SAD, prakse na otoku Ellis i stvaranje hrvatske dijaspore
Author(s): Tanja Bukovčan / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 29/2006
From 1892 to 1954 more than 12 million immigrants entered the United States through its famous gateway, Ellis Island. They were processed through immigration procedure and majority of them, from that period, were allowed to enter the US and become the citizens of their choice. Poverty, scarcity and hard field labour forced many Croats to seek better life in America. Almost four millions of them went through the Ellis Island in the period from 1880 to 1930. Very young, of average age not more than 22, most of them single males, together with all other steerage passengers, underwent the quick medical examinations, "six seconds physicals" through which they were checked for signs of infectious diseases, insanity, "feeblemindedness" of physical defects. To avoid the trap of being too easily critical 100 years after Ellis Island happenings, it has to be said that they were a practical solution to immigration admission. The number of people entering the US through Ellis Island could reach 5000 up to 11000 people per day during America's peak immigration years from 1890-1924. However, Ellis Island practices legitimatized and deepened the division between the ethnically desirable (North and Western Europe immigrants) and less desirable (South-Eastern Europe and Asia). Furthermore, they provided a mass demonstration of power and political practices, which used health as an instrument of separation between those who were eligible to become the members of a politically stable, healthy labour force, and those who were not. This paper tries to examine in what way did such "segregatory" practices, which already at the entrance to the New World, defined Croats and other immigrants as possibly unhealthy, insane or inapt, influence the formation of Croatian Diaspora in North America as a culturally distinct ethnic group. It also raises the question as to how will the newly emerging medical borders affect notions of ethnicity and the ways in which dispersed/displaced peoples construct their identities in the time of "global ethnoscapes" (Appadurai) The fact that this first "legalized" segregation on the basis of a six-second medical examination was going on under the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, shows to what extent it was assumed as "scientifically" reasonable and politically correct, and explains the existence of its current practices of creating medical borders. Who remains on the other side of the medical border? The ethnical and cultural "Others", or, just "the ill"?
"Быдлим в Чехии", или, Специфика чешских заимствований на примере онлайн-коммуникации русскоязычных иммигрантов в Чешской Республике
Author(s): Anna, Vladimirovna Golubeva,Anastasija, Anatol´jevna Timofejeva / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2014
The article speaks about borrowings from the Czech language through the prism of Internet communication (social networks, forums, blogs), presented by Russian-speaking expatriate community, which is one of the largest expatriate communities in the Czech Republic. This report contains the overview of processes that occur in the immigrant's use of borrowings, as well as the analysis of borrowings on lexical, morphological, and syntactical levels. Word-play is discussed here as well. Authors give characteristics of expatriate's language from 3 various points of view: in light of the language of Russian expatriate community on the whole, from the perspective of Russian expatriate community in the Czech Republic, and in terms of similarity to the processes which occur in the language of the metropoly.
"Водевиль в сумасшедшемдоме": "Линия Брунгильды" М. А. Алданова
Author(s): Dmitri Nikolayev / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2015
If one were to single out the most characteristic feature of the Russian theatre in exile, it would be the severe scarcity of everything: theatre troupes were small, productions were executed on a very meager budget, etc. Dmitri Nikolayev's article discusses the way that Mark Aldanov adapted his style to meet this challenge, which resulted in the creation of "Liniia Brungildy" (1937), a play in thegenre of vaudeville.
# V4 2015: neľahké hľadanie odpovedí na európske výzvy
Author(s): Tomáš Strážay / Language(s): Slovak / Publication Year: 0
Vyšehradská skupina, tak ako napokon celá Európska únia, čelila aj v roku 2015 výzvam prichádzajúcim z vonkajšieho prostredia a v menšom meradle tiež takým, ktoré súviseli s jeho vnútorným fungovaním. Napriek pokračujúcemu rusko ukrajinskému konfliktu sa dominantnou témou vo vyšehradskom i európskom (nielen zahraničnopolitickom diskurze) stala migračná a utečenecká kríza. Postoj k nej ovplyvňoval tak vnútornú dynamiku Vyšehradu, ako aj jeho vnímanie v rámci EÚ. Vyšehradské krajiny čelili zhoršenej reputácii v očiach niektorých členských krajín Únie, ktoré kritizovali ich nesolidárny postoj v otázke redistribučných kvót. Prirodzene, značná časť vyšehradskej agendy sa niesla v znamení kontinuity, čo sa týka slovenského aj českého predsedníctva. Významnými oblasťami spolupráce tak boli naďalej napríklad energetika či bezpečnosť a obrana. Spolupráca s krajinami východného susedstva a západného Balkánu tvorili piliere formátu V4 plus, ktorý sa rozšíril o ďalších partnerov. Jedným z významných zadaní pre obe predsedníctva bolo vyvažovať spoluprácu s nevyšehradskými krajinami s vnútornou súdržnosťou V4. Potvrdilo sa, že vyšehradská spolupráca zostáva imúnna voči vnútropolitickému vývoju v jednotlivých krajinách. Hoci májové prezidentské i októbrové parlamentné voľby v Poľsku znamenali diametrálnu zmenu v oblasti poľskej vnútornej politiky, na vzťahoch v rámci V4 sa to neprejavilo.
#32 Radicalisation in Bulgaria: Threats and Trends
Author(s): Rositsa Dzhekova,Mila Mancheva,Maria Doichinova,Lyubomira Derelieva,Tihomir Bezlov,Maria Karayotova,Yavor Tomov,Dimitar Markov,Miryana Ilcheva / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2015
The phenomena of radicalisation today develop and change at high speed, with their extreme forms manifested globally. The destructive dimensions of (violent) Islamist or right-wing radicalisation have become dramatically visible in Europe posing serious challenges to European societies at large. This report aims to address a knowledge gap with regard to how and to what extent internationally observed radicalisation processes are manifested in Bulgaria. Four different forms of radicalisation are investigated, including Islamist radicalisation, right-wing and left-wing radicalisation, as well as football hooliganism. The report provides policy makers and the expert community with a systematic overview of the main risks to which the Bulgarian society is exposed, as well as of the main actors and ideas, the repertoire of actions and the groups at risk associated with radicalisation. The report outlines recommendations for improvement of the policy and institutional response with regard to radicalisation by way of monitoring and prevention measures as well as multi agency collaboration and community engagement.
#32bg Радикализация в България: заплахи и тенденции
Author(s): Rositsa Dzhekova,Mila Mancheva,Maria Doichinova,Lyubomira Derelieva,Tihomir Bezlov,Maria Karayotova,Yavor Tomov,Dimitar Markov,Miryana Ilcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 2016
#35 Situational Assessment of Extremist Trends
Author(s): Rositsa Dzhekova,Luděk Moravec,Pavlína Bláhová,Jan Ludvík,Libor Stejskal,Dia Anagnostou,Dimitris Skleparis,Nadya Stoynova / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017
Violent extremism is one of the major challenges Europe is currently facing. The threat is both external as well as internal as indicated by the rise in home-grown Islamist terrorists, as well as of nationalistic and anti-immigrant movements and far-right aggression. An accurate picture of the spread, nature and trends in the extremist and terrorist activity and actors is paramount to formulating strategic policy approaches and effectively allocating available resources. This publication provides a methodological framework for the establishment of a viable mechanism for monitoring and assessment of the state and developments over time in extremist acts and actors on the national level. The situational assessment is an instrument for systematic collection and analysis of statistical data, open source data and intelligence information pertaining to extremist actors and activities, for the purposes of developing regular situational reports of the spread, nature and trends in extremism and violent radicalisms. Following the application of the situational assessment tool, the publication presents main findings on extremist trends and monitoring capacities in three countries from Central and Southeast Europe: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Greece.
#48 Two Boats in the Mediterranean and their Unfortunate Encounters with Europe's Policies towards People on the Move
Author(s): Leonhard Den Hertog / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2012
This paper examines two recent events in which people on the move making their way from Libya to Europe across the Mediterranean were either abandoned to die at sea or 'pushed back' (Hirsi case). It argues that these two cases are not incidental or isolated but rather part of a broader situation of concern in the Mediterranean. The paper highlights this situation and also connects it to Europe's response to migratory flows during the Arab Spring. On thebasis of independent reports, case law and first-hand accounts, it attributes these tragedies to two fundamental structural deficiencies in Europe's approach to people on the move in the Mediterranean: 1) a general lack of accountability, among the most salient of which are thelack of legal clarity for SAR (search & rescue) and disembarkation obligations as well as alack of monitoring of what actually happens in the Mediterranean and 2) a lack of solidarity amongst European states as well as across the Mediterranean. The paper then goes on to propose recommendations to correct those cross-cutting deficiencies.
#49 The Court of Justice of the European Union as a Fundamental Rights Tribunal. Challenges for the Effective Delivery of Fundamental Rights in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice
Author(s): Sergio Carrera,Marie De Somer,Bilyana Petkova / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2012
This paper reflects on the challenges facing the effective implementation of the new EU fundamental right sarchitecture that emerged from the Lisbon Treaty. Particular attention is paid to the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and its ability to function as a 'fundamental rights tribunal'. Thepaper first analyses the praxis of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and its long-standing experience in overseeing the practical implementation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Against this analysis, it then examines the readiness of the CJEU to live up to its consolidated and strengthened mandate on fundamental rights as one of the prime guarantors of the effective implementation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. We specifically review the role of'third-party interventions' by non-governmental organisations, international and regional human rights actors as well as 'interim relief measures' when ensuring effective judicial protection of vulnerable individuals incases of alleged violations of fundamental human rights. To flesh out our arguments, we rely on examples within the scope of the relatively new and complex domain of EU legislation, the Area of Freedom, Securityand Justice (AFSJ), and its immigration, external border and asylum policies.

Chick-fil-A Posied To Be The 3rd Largest Fast Food Chain
By Conway Crew
Eat More Chicken...
We all love our Chick-fil-A.
The great customer service, the amazing chicken sandwiches, and fries that are to die for can't be beat.
Well it makes sense, because the rapidly growing fast food chain is now seated to become the third-largest fast-food chain in the Unites States next year by sales according the Kalinowski Equity Research.
This is such a remarkable accomplishment considering in 2017, Chick-fil-A sat at the number 7 spot.
This leap gives the fast-food chain the achievement of surpassing Subway, Taco Bell, Burger King, and Wendy's.
The only other chains above Chick-fil-A respectively are Starbucks at #2 and McDonald's at #1.
"We have long pointed out that Chick-fil-A is the restaurant competition with which McDonald's U.S. should most concern itself – and by extension, investors should too," Mark Kalinowski's report says, "But this goes beyond McDonald's."
What's even more remarkable is the the stat, that states the stores grew by nearly eight percent, to more than 2,100.
In the next year, Chick-fil-A is still expected to grow. Sales are predicted to grow as much as 15 percent to $10 billion on top of their 14.2 percent that's already happened in the last year.
He estimates that comparable-store sales are up between 4.5 percent and 7.5 percent this year as the company expands beyond its Southeast stronghold, opening more stores in the Northeast and Midwest.

Only yesterday, the Libyan rebels were advancing westwards toward Muammar Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte, aided by coalition airstrikes against regime forces. But the opposition's momentum appears to have stalled on Tuesday, as Qaddafi's troops retook the towns of Nawfaliyah and Bin Jawad and pursued the retreating rebels to Ras Lanuf, according to Al Jazeera (in the photo above, rebels flee from Bin Jawad on the back of a truck amidst machine gun fire and mortars). The Associated Press reports that some rebels yelled "Sarkozy, where are you?" as they escaped, in reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been one of the most ardent proponents of airstrikes against Qaddafi's forces.
The AP says the coalition may have refrained from airstrikes in Bin Jawwad because of overcast skies. "Without air strikes it appears the rebels are not able to hold ground or make advances," Reuters asserts. "The battle around Sirte ... will show if the rebels have reached their limit." Fierce fighting persists in the beseiged western city of Misrata as well.
The setback comes as 40 governments and international organizations--including representatives from the U.S and its European allies, the U.N., NATO, the African Union, and the Arab League--gather in London to discuss the situation in Libya. The British and Italians have floated plans for Qaddafi to slip into exile, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that the operation in Libya will continue until Qaddafi "complies" with the U.N. resolution authorizing military intervention. In an interview with CBS earlier today, U.N. ambassador Susan Rice indicated that the U.S. had not ruled out arming the rebels.
The rebels, for their part, have issued a two-page memorandum outlining their vision for a democratic Libya. In a letter to world leaders on Tuesday, Qaddafi declared that Western powers, in backing the rebels, were supporting al Qaeda and killing hundreds of Libyans in a "brutal and unjust attack."


ABSTRACT HIV has been linked to many risk factors such as sexual behaviour, gender, gender based violence, poverty, migration, conflicts, sexually transmitted diseases and circumcision. In this project, the role played by migration was particularly underscored. The aim of the study was to estimate and to compare the prevalence of HIV infection among migrants and non-migrants and to investigate whether migration leads to increased high risk sexual behaviour among migrant workers aged between 14 and 35 years from Limpopo Province. This study was based on a secondary data analysis from a large community intervention study. A random sample of 2860 participants were selected in a cross sectional study after pair matching a community of villages set for an intervention. Data were collected using a questionnaire in English with a version in Sotho. HIV test was performed on oral fluid using Vironostika HIV Uniform oral fluid. The study was approved by Wits University and Informed consent was previously obtained by the original study. Stata was used for the statistical analyses of the data. This study found that the HIV prevalence among migrants was not statistically different from the prevalence among non-migrants (10.04% versus 10.97%; p = 0.662), that the slight association between migration and HIV infection was not significant (Adjusted OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 0.7 – 2.01) (p = 0.520). There was no association between migration and sexual behaviour such as sexual experience, age at first sexual relationship, have ever had sexual relationship and used a condom. However the study showed an association between migration and the number of sexual partners. These striking findings suggest that migration does not always lead to an increased risk of HIV infection even though it can lead to an increase of number of sexual partners. The study concludes that migration did not prove to be a risk factor for HIV infection. However, other underlying structural factors need to be examined for a better understanding of the conditions that lead to HIV infection. It recommends interventions that cover information (Knowledge, attitude and belief), risk perception and change of sexual behaviour.


As many of you already know, the Freedom Cafe is a wonderful and nurturing home for local musicians to share their art. Over the past several years, Bryan, Hannah and their hard-working volunteers have brought the community together in so many constructive ways around a critical cause: building awareness about and fighting the scourge of human trafficking.
I'm writing to share with you a small way that I hope to give back to the Cafe this month with some help from you.
On Friday, August 31st, I'll be releasing my first album and playing a show at the Stone Church in Newmarket. I'm going to bring 50 copies of my new CD and will give the proceeds from selling these ($500, if we can sell each of the $10 CDs) to the Cafe. The show starts at 8 p.m. It's all ages and tickets – to help support my fellow musicians and the sound man – are available online here.
If you'd like to know what you're getting into musically, you can find some of my music and a little backyard promo video on my website: davehowlandmusic.com. It's going to be a fun night to share a new collection of music: songs shaped in large part by the love and encouragement I've experienced on the stage at the Freedom Cafe – my musical home in Durham.

AIG CEO Bob Benmosche Resigns, For Real This Time
Robert Benmosche, the colorful, self-described "in-your-face" CEO that brought insurance company AIG back from the brink of collapse (with a heavy assist from the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and of course the American taxpayer), has announced his retirement. His resignation comes five years after taking over management in 2009, at the height of the financial […]

Tim Geithner's Book Tour: It Could Have Been Worse
May 28, 2014 by Jessica Pressler
As Barney Frank once told Tim Geithner, you aren't going to be able to sell anyone with the slogan, "things could have been worse." Nonetheless, the former Treasury Secretary was doing his best last week in New York, during what his press person called a "three week blitz," to promote his memoir, Stress Test: Reflections […]
"Let's, Like, Demolish Laundry"
There was a problem with the cookies. When Jordan Metzner and Juan Dulanto launched Washio, it had already distinguished itself from other laundry and dry-cleaning services. There was no storefront, no rotating rack, no little pieces of paper to keep track of. Customers ordered their clothing picked up via the website or a mobile app, […]
Help! There's a Doodie in My Kitchen
Just before Christmas last year, the doorbell rang at our apartment in Brooklyn. It was UPS, bearing a large package for my partner, Josh. "Is that it?" he asked, bounding down the stairs, eyes on fire. "Is that my sous vide?" A flurry of paper and Styrofoam peanuts revealed a stainless-steel object, which Josh carefully […]
Salman Rushdie Respects Twitter, Is Also Kind of Over It
"Oh, that old thing," Salman Rushdie groans when you bring up the fatwa issued against him by the Ayatollah over his depiction of Mohammed in his novel The Satanic Verses, recently the subject of a lengthy and oddly nostalgic Vanity Fair piece. "It was 25 years ago!" he says. But Vanity Fair says he still […]
Goldman Sachs CEO Retains Sense of Childlike Wonder
April 15, 2014 by Jessica Pressler
You'd think five years of being protested, vilified, burned in effigy, berated by Congress, and compared to blood-sucking cephalopods would break a man. That being called to court to testify not once but twice in civil trials against corrupt managers at the firm he oversees might rob him of whatever shred of joie de vivre […]

Boobs! Boyfriends! Baywatch! Pamela Anderson is iconic for her role as the ultimate babe. Now she would like you to know there are brains inside that body, thank you very much. But is this a woman on a quest to find her true self—or has Pam been one step ahead of us all along? "Omigod!" […]
