Favorable unemployment benefits may prolong unemployment and thereby reduce happiness.
Society should be organized to foster personal happiness and well-being. Employment is central in this context and happiness at work increases productivity, whereas unemployment has negative effects on long-term happiness. Policies that reduce unemployment can thus increase happiness; but, the timing and targeting of such policies is important. Robotization may decrease employment of certain groups with possible concomitant loss in happiness. So to ensure national well-being and greater productivity, governments should put full employment center-stage.
Economists and politicians are increasingly convinced that "happiness," which in this context means personal well-being and satisfaction with life (as measured in happiness research), may be as important for evaluating and determining labor market policy as the more traditional measures, such as GDP per capita or unemployment.
Conversely, labor market policies also have an impact on happiness, as lower unemployment in a country is associated with more happiness (see the Illustration). The global financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent high levels of unemployment have spurred the international debate regarding the ways and means of regaining (close to) full employment. In many European countries, this debate centers on "structural labor reform"; i.e. reductions in employment protection legislation for workers with permanent contracts and reductions in the size and duration of unemployment benefits. Both of these measures would have considerable impact on the happiness and well-being of those affected. In the post-crisis period (after 2014) concerns about employment are gradually shifting toward the impact of robotization on the level of employment, with ample debate on unconditional basic income as a means to enhance happiness in periods with substantial unemployment.
There is also considerable debate on the impact of active labor market policies (i.e. policies designed to create job opportunities for the unemployed) in situations when the unemployed accept jobs for little pay and few prospects for promotion. Poorly paid, not secure, part-time jobs with limited and no control over schedules are a threat to happiness, also the risk of unemployment resulting from robotization is substantial.
Labor market policies, in particular minimum wage legislation, can also affect the income distribution. The impact of minimum wage legislation on happiness is then likely to be the net result of the positive impact on wage inequality and the negative impact through unemployment it can give rise to. One study in particular shows how labor market policies can be evaluated along the happiness criterion in order to develop a scenario in which full employment is regained in the EU by 2020, and where income inequality is reduced and economies made more sustainable .
Technological advancements, however, give rise to substantial "creative destruction" and new types of employment practices. One US study shows how the effect on happiness depends on the speed of mobility and that of labor market price adjustment . Some see this as irrevocably calling for a basic income to invite voluntary unemployment .
It is vitally important that policymakers understand the connections between particular policy measures and their effects on people's sense of happiness and well-being.
Almost every language has an expression along the lines of "money can't buy you happiness." Yet it wasn't until the early 1970s that economists began to consider trying to measure the extent of people's happiness, their state of well-being, and satisfaction with life, in terms other than of their monetary wealth or current income .
Around the same time, sociologists began to conduct questionnaires with individuals in order to assess their general state of happiness and satisfaction with life: e.g. whether people considered themselves to be "happy," "pretty happy," or "not very happy." The results turned out to be quite robust, with little variability across periods of time. The score on an individual's self-report would also be corroborated with reports provided on the person through other means, or through evaluations provided by outside observers. These would include observations of stress levels, facial expressions, as well as brain scans .
Of all the external factors that might influence an individual's sense of happiness and well-being, unemployment is by far the most significant. Being unemployed, or being made unemployed, is comparable in its effect to other more personal factors or trauma that can influence an individual's sense of well-being, such as divorce or a death in the family .
Being employed is a very important contributory factor in determining an individual's sense of happiness and well-being. And this is the case even when other external factors have been taken into account, such as the level of corruption in society, the degree of freedom in the country, or the social support systems that are in place within the individual's environment.
Measures of happiness are related to a number of factors, including an individual's situation in the labor market. The work that people do and the conditions under which they work, as well as the income they earn through their work, or the loss of a job and the difficulties in finding a job, and so on, all have a clear and significant impact on individual happiness .
However, individual happiness is also linked to wider employment circumstances within a country. For example, it is not only an individual's state of unemployment that causes them unhappiness, but also the rate of unemployment in a country, to the extent that the total loss of happiness due to a rise in the unemployment rate is twice as large as the loss to the individuals who lose their job (measured by the Life Satisfaction Scale used for the Illustration ). In other words, people feel for others and are more depressed by the general situation. This understanding should stimulate governments to promote the policy goal of (near) full employment on par with (sustainable) economic growth, controlled inflation, and fair income distribution.
The pain and subsequent unhappiness of losing a job is not fully compensated for by finding another job. Unemployment leaves scars. Early adult unemployment, in particular, turns out to have long-lasting effects, not only in terms of happiness, but also in labor market outcomes like wages.
Modern technological advancements, in particular the rapid increases in the speed of computer chips ("Moore's law"), combined with the speed of connectedness and artificial intelligence, have brought significant changes in the speed of creative destruction and the types of employment available.
A traditional dilemma in labor market policies is that the "insiders" (i.e. workers with attractive labor contracts and well-developed safety nets in case of unemployment) will not easily abandon their privileges even if it would mean that the "outsiders" (those who cannot find employment, who are often the young, less educated, and/or less skilled) would gain more than the "insiders" would lose.
Over the period 1994–2011, job security, as expressed in firing costs, indeed improved well-being (measured by job-satisfaction) of permanent workers, as would be expected .
However, the effect is small and often not particularly significant. In the same way, temporary workers experience more well-being when permanent workers are better protected, as presumably they see themselves in that position in the near future.
Labor market institutions also deal with job safety and health risks at work. These have a positive impact on happiness, as individuals value their personal health highly when expressing how happy they are. Workers in highly stressful jobs, who don't receive adequate support to cope with difficult work demands, are more likely to suffer from job burnout, or to develop musculoskeletal disorders, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. Highly stressful jobs are, in fact, relatively widespread.
If Spain had the same employment protection as France did at the outbreak of the crisis, then its unemployment would have been half the 2012 level . At the same time, Spain experienced such a strong rise in youth unemployment that experts now believe that a generation may be "lost"; while in Germany, youth unemployment continued to decline and was hardly affected by the crisis. These differences coincide with different structures of labor market policy and in the transition from school to work, which for many young people in Germany is eased by the dual vocational education system .
By 2018 the labor markets in Europe and the US have more or less recovered from the impact of the crisis, and full employment in many EU countries and in the US is now within reach. At the same time, the consequences of the fast information and communication technology (ICT) revolution—often dubbed "the third industrial revolution"—on employment are becoming visible, potentially with substantial unemployment, either transitory or permanent, while at the same time affecting the type of employment in terms of security and health provisions. This has led to suggestions of a basic income as a way to reduce the supply of labor, so that full employment can still be guaranteed . The 2018 World Economic Forum gave serious thought to basic income as a policy option. The consequences of different policies in terms of happiness need further exploration.
Employment protection has a sizable effect on labor market flows and these, in turn, have significant impacts on productivity growth . At the same time, some displaced workers lose out via longer periods of unemployment and/or lower real wages in post-displacement jobs. OECD countries fare differently along the employment protection-unemployment axis (Figure 2).
Unemployment benefits contribute to an individual's income, which in itself is happiness-increasing. Yet they provide little compensation for the unhappiness experienced due to the loss of the job in the first place. In addition, unemployment benefits may cause the period of unemployment to increase.
The longer the period of substantial unemployment benefits, the longer the duration of unemployment. The evidence on this relationship is overwhelming, most recently from many states in the US, where unemployment benefits were extended during the period 2009–2012. There was a small but statistically significant reduction in the unemployment exit rate and a small increase in the expected duration of unemployment.
For Germany, not a single job feature or combination of such features could be found such that remaining unemployed would be the better choice for the individual. The evidence shows that even the opportunity to take on lower-quality jobs is associated with higher life â(satisfaction .
This conclusion corresponds with findings from the country's workfare program: being employed makes the individual happier than not being employed while receiving a social security benefit that is not much lower than the earnings that could be gained from employment.
Policies aimed at creating additional employment in the public sector and—through subsidies—in the private sector for those in danger of remaining unemployed for extended periods are clearly happiness-enhancing. This is likely to remain the case when the possible decrease in happiness as a result of additional taxation for these jobs is taken into account.
As a result of this, the variation of happiness across the world's population is largely seen within countries, even though the levels of income might differ substantially between countries. Twenty-two percent of the worldwide variation in one measure of happiness (the Gallup World Poll ladder) is between countries. This is much lower than the corresponding 42% variation in household incomes between countries . The primary reason for the difference is that income is but one of the causes for happiness, while most of the other causes, such as the population's health, are much more evenly spread across countries.
Income inequality is to a large extent the result of wage inequality. Policies directed at the reduction of wage inequality are in this respect happiness-increasing. Minimum wage policy may increase the happiness of those who are employed at that wage level, but may also reduce happiness, as employment might shrink and unemployment increase as a result. Minimum wages can therefore reduce happiness if they lead to more unemployment.
An increase in the minimum wage generally does not lead firms to fire or lay off workers they already have, but does reduce the rate at which new workers are hired, depending on the stage in the business cycle. Countries with minimum wages fare worse in times of economic downturns than those without, depending on the level of the minimum wage for adult and young workers .
Discussions on the implications of the vast transformation of the world of work due to the third industrial revolution are in full swing . Some studies suggest persistent long-term unemployment of workers with low and medium level skills, even when active labor market policies are taken into account . Others believe in labor market adjustments which are able to provide for full employment with the help of policies . What is common among all observers and analysts is that the speed of "creative destruction" is increasing, making "seamless mobility" a necessity to retain happiness from employment under robotization . Creative destruction refers to the incessant product and process innovation mechanism by which new production units replace outdated ones.
Basic incomes would be happiness increasing, if they would be set at a level comparable to present-day social assistance. However, affordability is unlikely without a substantial tax increase and the associated happiness decrease. But even if basic incomes were affordable, then there are questions about their long-term happiness effect. First: work is more than the income it generates. It provides for a social structure. Second: the choice for a basic income would be free to the individual. However, there is no guarantee that employment will be available for the same individual when they decide to seek employment, as skills tend to degrade when not used. A basic income then becomes a trap: easy to get into, but difficult to get out of.
Happiness-increasing policies will have winners and losers. The losers are likely to pose a risk for the politicians who decide to implement happiness-increasing policies.
At the same time, however, the happiness "increase effect," due to lower unemployment, is also limited. Hence, most OECD countries tend to increase, or at least not decrease, employment protection and unemployment benefits in the upswing of the business cycle rather than at the height. This strategy, however, makes them less prepared for the downswing in the business cycle and the subsequent increase in unemployment.
During the downswing in the business cycle politicians have less support for downward adjustments as they hurt permanent workers as well as the unemployed. A political majority is then not so easily achieved, even if the long-term impact can be argued to be positive in terms of employment and happiness. The rights of the "ins" in this situation will be defended, while the voices of the "outs" will count for less.
As a result, the findings in the current empirical literature are limited and need to be brought together in a more detailed quantified picture. Panel data, which would necessarily include observations and analysis over time and across sectors (such as for individuals, firms, households, and so on) would be an important next step.
Unemployment has long-term negative effects in terms of happiness for individuals—particularly the young—and for society as a whole. Labor market policies such as employment protection legislation and unemployment benefits increase happiness, but they also contribute to unemployment (and its associated unhappiness).

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden announced a settlement with TK Holdings, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Japanese airbag maker Takata, over allegations the company concealed safety issues related to its airbag systems. The settlement was reached between the company and attorneys general of 44 states and the District of Columbia. It concludes a multistate investigation into TK Holdings' failure to disclose known safety defects associated with certain airbag inflators.
In related news, TK Holdings Inc. (Takata) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive safety systems including air bags. Reports of driver and passenger injuries from defective deployment of Takata's airbags prompted federal regulators to investigate and ultimately initiate vehicle recalls. Hawaii, New Mexico, and the United States Virgin Islands filed actions against Takata alleging the company engaged in unfair or deceptive acts by making false or misleading statements about the safety of Takata's airbags. After Takata filed for bankruptcy, the court was asked to determine whether each state's claims for restitution for its citizens and for penalties were dischargeable. While normally all claims against a reorganizing corporation are discharged (i.e., payable only under the terms of its plan), a 2005 amendment to the Bankruptcy Code excepted debts owed to a governmental unit arising from fraudulent conduct. The court agreed with the states that, under state law, the claims were owed to the government even if they were suing for restitution for their citizens. It also found, however, that the fraud was not directed at the government itself so it could not have relied on any fraudulent statements that were made or suffered any damages itself thereby. In essence, the court held that, although the government could sue for its citizens, it could only recover for damages it suffered itself. Accordingly, it found that the debts were dischargeable. The states are appealing the decision.

Personnel embarrassments are inevitable for presidents. With skill and luck, disasters are not.
That's the lesson so far of Timothy Geithner. He appears to be on his way to confirmation as treasury secretary despite the startling disclosure that he failed to pay $34,000 in payroll taxes earlier in the decade.
Far from blindsided by the fact, two influential senators who will vote on his confirmation, one in each political party, had known about it for weeks. President-elect Barack Obama's transition team saw to that, according to a bipartisan report by the Senate Finance Committee, averting an unpleasant surprise for politicians who loathe the unexpected.
It also helps that Geithner enjoys an excellent reputation among Republicans and Democrats alike at a time of national economic emergency. And that some GOP senators concluded they were unlikely to do better if Obama had to name a replacement.
Considerable work by Obama's transition team preceded first public word of Geithner's tax problems.
On Dec. 5, the transition team met with Finance Committee staff members and disclosed that Geithner had paid the back taxes and $8,679 in interest, according to a summary of the events signed off on by Democrats and Republicans alike.
At the direction of Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, the committee chairman, and Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican, committee aides then obtained Geithner's tax returns and interviewed his accountants and a representative of the International Monetary Fund, his employer.
On Dec. 19, Geithner met with committee aides "to answer questions about the employment tax issue and other issues identified during the course of the document review," the summary added.
Presumably, if the committee's investigation had turned up any new problems, Geithner's nomination would have been derailed over the year-end holidays. The fact that his nomination remained on track vindicated the work done by Obama's transition team, as well as the decision to notify the Senate in advance.
Following up, Geithner waited in a Senate anteroom on Tuesday, ready to answer questions from rank-and-file committee members who were hearing the details for the first time from their aides. He followed up Wednesday with a call to Sen. John Ensign, who had been unable to attend the session.
Political reality played a role, as well, as did the grim state of the economy. Geithner's political pedigree is remarkable for a partisan era – tapped by the Bush administration to help rescue the battered economy, then picked to head the Treasury Department by Obama.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Republicans interested in derailing Geithner should think again. "They're not going to get anybody better than him from this administration for treasury secretary," he said.
That's not to say there aren't lingering questions.
By the committee's account, Geithner paid back taxes for the years 2003 and 2004 after a 2006 IRS audit determined they were owed.
It is not known when he realized he also owed money for 2001 and 2002. Based on regulations, the IRS auditors were barred from looking that far into the past. By the Finance Committee's description, it wasn't until Obama's vetting team informed Geithner that he had made a similar error for 2001 and 2002 that he sent the IRS a check for those years.
The report cites other errors on Geithner's tax returns, including the use of payments for overnight camps his children attended in computing the dependent care credit for the years 2001, 2004 and 2005.
"The accountant who prepared his 2006 tax return apprised him that payments to overnight camps were not allowable expenses for purposes of the credit but he did not file amended returns at the time to correct the prior years," it notes.
Whatever their concerns, Democrats quickly closed ranks. Nearly 48 hours after news about the tax issue surfaced, not a single Senate Republican had stepped forward to oppose the nomination.
Obama reaffirmed his support, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., likened the entire matter to a hiccup.
Baucus called it an honest mistake. Grassley wasn't as forgiving. "I'm not saying at this point it's disqualifying. But it's a little more important about income tax for somebody that's overseeing the IRS than there is, maybe, for the secretary of agriculture, as an example," he told reporters.
Two Republicans forced a postponement in Geithner's planned confirmation hearing, and late-night comedians quickly turned him into a target.
But barring another disclosure, it seems like a crisis averted for team Obama, which so far has proven astute about sorting through personnel problems.
Take New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, for example, Obama's choice to become commerce secretary.
With most of the country still celebrating the New Year's holiday, Richardson abruptly announced he was withdrawing, calling a grand jury investigation in his home state a political distraction.
If Obama sought to dissuade him from withdrawing, there is no record of it.

Sri Lanka's best bank for CSR 2017: Hatton National Bank
Hatton National Bank
Jonathan Alles, Hatton National Bank
In a country looking to build a safe, sustainable recovery after decades of conflict and upheaval, it is no surprise that all the big financial institutions in Sri Lanka take their commitment to corporate social responsibility seriously. This award was therefore fiercely contested.
Good corporate citizenship for a Sri Lankan bank doesn't come much more profound than caring for Adam's Peak. Sacred to Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims alike, Adam's Peak's remoteness, high in the island's central highlands, is no impediment to pilgrims, who tend to leave the holy site in a mess after paying their respects.
Enter HNB, which was founded 129 years ago near here (HNB's 'H' is for the mountain town of Hatton), so sponsorship of the mountain clean-up, drinking water and sanitation facilities is also close to its heart.
Potable water is at the centre of HNB's national safe water campaign, where it has built purification plants, storage tanks and upgraded plumbing systems across the island, in a region where kidney disease is prevalent. It sponsors similar programmes for cancer and HIV awareness.
HNB's literacy campaign supports more than 200 schools and reaches 50,000 children.
Its efforts don't stop at typical CSR projects. For example, in a country with a rapidly ageing population, HNB has introduced a government pensioners personal loans scheme.
HNB's CSR activities are smart and focused. Yes, it is aimed at building business, and tends to be branded, but it is also subtle – sometimes Sri Lankans don't even know HNB has been there before them.

New England will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to the likes of New York City and DC United when they square off against Orlando City at their Gillette Stadium. The Revs aim to get back on course and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home in the Major League Soccer. New England have been scoring goals for fun on home soil of late and given Orlando City's poor form, we predict that Jay Heaps' men will pick up all three points from the match. The Lions are on a seven-game winless run in the league ahead of Sunday's football match and it has to be noted that they failed to keep a clean sheet in previous seven league fixtures. Orlando ace Ricardo Kaka has been struggling to find his best form this season and, taking everything into account, home win appears on the cards.

When it comes time to replace the window treatments in your home, you will likely find that you have such a wide variety of options to choose from, that it can be difficult to decide where to start. With so many options available, how are you supposed to decide which will work best in your home? One type of window treatment which has stood the test of time, being a popular option for many years, are cellular shades (also known as honeycomb shades).
Cellular shades are window coverings made out of multiple layers of pleated fabrics, which creates internal compartments between the layers that resemble honeycombs or cells, giving these shades their name. Cellular shades can have multiple layers of these cells, which are designed to provide additional insulation in your home. If you are considering replacing the window treatments in your home and do not know much about cellular shades, here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider installing these shades in your home.
As we touched upon above, part of what makes cellular shades unique is the way in which their cells are able to make them great insulators. This is due to the fact that the cells between the layers of fabric work to trap air, helping to prevent cold air from entering your home, or warm air from escaping, during the winter, and the reverse during the summer. This helps to make cellular shades one of the most energy-efficient window treatment options available. Since the primary source of energy-loss in most homes is through their windows, these shades can go a long way to save you money on your energy bills. Additionally, the more layers of cells your cellular shades have, the more energy-efficient you home will become, which makes these shades a great investment.
An equally fantastic reason to consider cellular shades for your home is the fact that they are available in a cordless option. This can make these shades much easier to use, as you do not have to try to deal with the hassle of raising and lowering your shades using a cord, and trying to get them to stay in the right place. Simply raise and lower your shades by hand, and they will stay wherever you leave them. A lack of cords also makes these shades more aesthetically pleasing, as you will not have to worry about unsightly looking cords in your home. Furthermore, this makes these shades a safer option in homes with children, as you will not have to worry about your young ones tangling themselves, and/or injuring themselves, in any cords.
For anyone with nosy neighbors, or who live in communities in which homes are close together, privacy is often a must when choosing window treatments for their home. Luckily, cellular shades come in a variety of opacities so that you can choose how dark you want your shades to be. You will have the option to either choose a shade which lets in some view/light, or you can choose blackout shades that allow for complete privacy in your home, as well as various shades in-between. This gives you the complete control to decide how much of the outside world you want to let into your home, as well as how much of your home you want to outside world to see.
Finally, many homeowners like cellular shades due to the variety of design and style options that are available. With cellular shades, homeowners can choose a material, texture, style, color, and design that best fits their personality and home décor. This will ensure that not only will your new window treatments be as unique as you are, but also, you will be able to purchase treatments that blend into/match the style, layout, and design of your home. This, among other reasons, makes cellular shades the best option for many homeowners.

Q: Powerdns setup on ubuntu I am trying to set up a dns server with powerdns. I am using poweradmin GUI. I have created my custom nameservers with namecheap ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com. At the final step poweradmin asks me for a Hostmaster nameserver. The explanation is: "When creating SOA records and no hostmaster is provided, this value here will be used. Should be in the form "hostmaster.example.net"." Can someone tell me what this is and how am i supposed to do it? I have searched on google but i haven't actually found something to help me.

A: It is an email address which can be used to reach the person responsible for the domain. The email address has to be turned into a hostname as explained in RFC 1035:
The DNS encodes the <local-part> as a single label, and encodes the
<mail-domain> as a domain name.  The single label from the <local-part>
is prefaced to the domain name from <mail-domain> to form the domain
name corresponding to the mailbox.  Thus the mailbox HOSTMASTER@SRI-
NIC.ARPA is mapped into the domain name HOSTMASTER.SRI-NIC.ARPA.  If the
<local-part> contains dots or other special characters, its
representation in a master file will require the use of backslash
quoting to ensure that the domain name is properly encoded.  For
example, the mailbox Action.domains@ISI.EDU would be represented as
Action\.domains.ISI.EDU.

If there are no special characters before the @ it is sufficient to just replace the @ with .

Many people now prefer to play games using their smartphone so they can get their gaming action on when out and about rather than being tied to their desktop computer. But there are a great deal of older Windows games that can't work on a smartphone. However there is a possibility that could soon change and Windows 95 and 98 games might be able to play on Android handsets.
We have a demonstration video for your viewing consideration below, that shows that there is a tool currently being developed called Winulator, which enables some Windows 95 and Windows 98 games to play nice on the Android platform.
Unfortunately anyone wishing they could play old Windows games on their Android device will have a bit of a wait on their hands, because Winulator isn't available to Android just yet as it is still in development, but the developer does plan to release both free and paid apps to Google Play at some point in the future.
Currently not all older games are supported by Winulator, and the sound doesn't work either. The Winulator is a wrapper application, and in the footage below you will see a Windows 98 game called Caesar 3 running on an Android slate, the Asus Transformer, and also on a Samsung Galaxy handset, and it looks to work rather well.
Currently there are several apps that allow the user to emulate a DOS environment so you can run old PC games on the Android platform; however the Winulator app does look promising and a tool that could eventually let the Android gamers get to grips with classic Windows 95 and 98 games.
Anyway enough from me, I'll leave it there and let you head on down to hit that play button and check out Winulator in action…enjoy.
Any of our Android readers hoping Winulator will hit Google Play soon so they can play older Windows games on their Android device?


There are the places in the world, throbbing with life, where you can meet fascinating people from all over. The thrill we get from experiencing new things and learning about other cultures and traditions is what makes us hungry for knowledge and eager to broaden our horizons. A lot is happening in the Philippines in such capacity, and the best way to see for oneself is to attend some of the recognized festivals and events, which there is no shortage of throughout the year.
One of the most important concepts have to be music-related activities. After all, the universal language of having a good time is what brings people together. Besides the more or less regular concerts and shows featuring our favorite performers, there are plenty of local festivals any traveling music lover should explore. The variety of genres and sensations intersect in the captivating holidays of sound. Regardless of your preferences, some of those to consider are for example: the celebration of music and arts during the Malasimbo Festival, at the foot of Mount Malasimbo overlooking Puerto Galera Bay; the showcase of hip indie bands, both worldwide and homegrown artists, happening annually at Wanderland festival; a multi-sensory live experience at Paradise International Music Festival; or the ability to reminisce about the old days and 90s songs - courtesy of Playback Music Festival.
The similar uniting abilities can be associated with indigenous or global cuisine. It is a common trait among tourists to be wanting to try delicious food and drinks wherever they go. There are numerous approaches to the subject that have a strong representation in the local culture. For instance: Itik Festival in the province of Laguna oriented around local duck products, Kesong Puti (all about the famous white cheese), Longganisa Festival (featuring well-known Filipino-style sausages), or Lanzones Festival at Mambajao dedicated to langsat fruit.
Exotic locations, such as Macau, Bahamas, Curacao, Aruba or St. Maarten, become attractive scenes for poker action. The Philippines isn't falling behind. Especially the capital city, Manila, has been known as a place where talented players from around the world meet. The famous Asia Pacific Poker Tour or PokerStars Live events require the absolute top of strategic skills from the locals and tourists alike. That is if they want to earn big money prizes. The next opportunity for that has started on September 13th with the Filipino stop of Asian Poker Tour that will be held at Resorts World Manila in Pasay City. Apart from that, Philippines attract plenty of representatives from various backgrounds, especially at the international expo events (f.e. National Retail Conference & Stores Asia Expo, Feed Expo Philippines Pasay, Money Summit & Wealth Expo , World of Consumer Electronics Expo). Plentiful business meetings and conferences gather entrepreneurs from different fields such as building and construction, logistics, automotive industries, clothing, tourism, electronics and much more.
Perhaps the best opportunity to mingle with the international crowd are the greatest and most recognizable festivals and local holidays. Ati-Atihan Festival is one of the oldest suchlike jubilees and it honors the traditional costumes and dancing. Some of the festivities in the Philippines could last few days or even up to a month. Possibly the biggest in the country, the Sinulog Festival in Cebu, attracts millions of participants every year. Some other significant mentions include the Panagbenga Festival, Pahiyas Festival, Masskara Festival, and Dinagyang Festival.

Colorado Cannabis Workers Are Happy, but Need Better Safety Training
Original story from Colorado State University
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Colorado Cannabis Workers Are Happy, but Need Better Safety Training"
Occupational health researchers at Colorado State University are drawing attention to worker safety and satisfaction in a young industry still finding its feet: legal cannabis.
CSU researchers in the Department of Psychology have completed a first-of-its-kind, peer-reviewed study that examines the demographics, physical environment and psychosocial aspects of working in the cannabis trade, which is now legal in some form in over half the United States, including Colorado. The study results were published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
The study, led by psychology graduate student Kevin Walters, is a snapshot of who works in the cannabis industry in Colorado. It outlines potential improvements in worker health and safety, and it delineates specific hazards for workplaces to take note of, from ergonomic concerns due to trimming plants to slips, trips and falls.
"We don't want our work to be the end," Walters said. "We're just starting to build a conversation."
Extension of previous report
The study extends from a report co-authored by Walters, published last year, which was aimed at cannabis industry leaders. Both documents rely on results of a 214-person survey of cannabis industry workers across the Front Range of Colorado. The population sampled was "direct to plant," meaning employees who come in contact with cannabis plants or products at work every day.
The participants were asked about their occupation, job tasks, well-being, occupational health and safety, and cannabis and tobacco use.
The results found that workers were generally job-secure and valued safety. They also regularly consumed cannabis, expressed low concerns about workplace hazards, and reported occupational injuries and exposures.
Working in the industry, the authors found, is associated with positive outcomes for workers. But there is an imminent need to establish more formal health and safety training and guidelines in order to build up a culture of best practices. According to survey results, about 46 percent of respondents reported little to no worker safety training since beginning their employment.
Issues gaining ground
The need to evaluate the cannabis workforce is gaining ground in the public health sphere. The state of Colorado recently published an industry-specific guide to worker health and safety. In June and November, the Center for Health, Work & Environment at the Colorado School of Public Health, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, jointly hosted safety training that highlighted many of the issues Walters' study outlined. To date, these organizations have trained more than 220 people. The course, the first of its kind, is now available online.
Work on the study was funded by the Mountain & Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERC), which is supported by the Centers for Disease Control's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and housed within the Center for Health, Work & Environment. Walters is in the MAP ERC's occupational health psychology graduate training program.
Walters stressed that the study was a team effort by co-authors, mentors and industry partners. The study's co-authors are Gwenith Fisher, CSU associate professor in industrial-organizational psychology and previously Walters' adviser; and Liliana Tenney, deputy director of the Center for Health, Work & Environment. Walters' adviser at CSU is Kurt Kraiger, a professor in industrial-organizational psychology, who also provided guidance for the study.

Q: If $T:V \rightarrow V$ and $T^2 = T$ then $ImT \cap KerT = {0}$ I ran into this exercise whilst going through the lecture notes and I'm not sure how to proceed on the second part, where I need to show that $ImT \cap KerT = {0}$. Any guidance and hints are much, much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

A: First note that for any $v\in ImT$, we have $Tv=v$, because $v=Tu$ for some $u$ and $Tv=T^2u=Tu=v$. Now with that fact if $v \in kerT\cap ImT$, then $0=Tv=v$

Rainbow Days' mission is to inspire and prepare children to live a life filled with hope and promise. Rainbow Days has been serving children and families in the Dallas community for over 32 years through quality, effective and research-based programs that clearly demonstrates measurable impact in the lives of children living in high-risk situations.
Rainbow Days meets this critical need in our community through an array of award-winning programs. Through weekly support groups using Rainbow Days' own curricula, summer day camps, mentored activities, family outings and other supportive services, Rainbow Days improves children and youth's mental and behavioral health by teaching them a core set of life skills and providing guidance and emotional support of caring adult mentors. Rainbow Days' programs' target children and youth, ages 4-15, who are living in low-income and high-risk environments in the Dallas community and focus on equipping this youth with the skills and support they need to overcome adversity, make healthy choices, and set positive goals for the future, including staying in school and staying crime, violence and drug-free. Rainbow Days partners with over 80 different local organizations, including schools, recreation centers, shelters, domestic violence centers, transitional living centers and juvenile detention centers across the Dallas area to benefit over 11,000 children and youth each year.
In addition, through Rainbow Days' Trans4m Training Division, Rainbow Days equips other helping professionals throughout the country to make a positive impact in the lives of children they serve through training in Rainbow Days' own Curriculum-Based Support Group (CBSG®) program and other innovative programs.
Grassroots – Rainbow Days' was founded 32 years ago in Dallas to meet the needs of young children who had a family member that was affected by substance abuse. The organization is still led today by its' visionary founder, Cathey Brown, who has grown the organization into a nationally recognized entity for quality prevention programs and she is a sought after speaker in the area of nonprofit leadership.
Developed Innovative Curricula – Rainbow Days' Curriculum-Based Support Group (CBSG®) Program has been recognized by the National Registry of Effective Prevention Programs & Practices and has one of the highest ratings of any prevention program received to-date.
Charity 'behind' the Charity – Often Rainbow Days' programs are not 'seen' by the community because the programs and services are delivered in partnership with over 80 different organizations, like schools in Dallas ISD, and shelters like Family Place and Salvation Army and many others. Our strategy is to reduce barriers of participation by families by bringing our programs and services to them through partnerships with these organizations. This allows schools to focus on education and shelters to focus on the immediate needs of the family, while Rainbow Days steps in to provide an array of proven programs that are making a lasting positive difference in children's lives.
Board Leadership	Rainbow Days is actively seeking new Board members to support the important work of Rainbow Days in the community. Rainbow Days' Executive Board of Directors is comprised of a dedicated group of community volunteers who are passionate about the mission of Rainbow Days and eager to give their time, financial resources, expertise, talent and connections to help strengthen and govern the organization. The Executive Board of Directors meets monthly, typically on the third Thursday of each month over the lunch hour. In addition to making a financial commitment and time commitment to attend the majority of Board meetings, the Board is encouraged to join a committee which meet monthly and allow Board members to tackle specific goals and strategies can be accomplished. These committees include: Resource Development, Marketing, Board Nominating & Development, Pot of Gold Luncheon, Social Enterprise, Finance and Audit. The overall time commitment is approximately 3-6 hours per month. Specifically, the Board is seeking individuals with a background or skills in marketing/public relations, entrepreneurship and finance. Board terms are 3 years.


In November 2017, students of Scandinavian Studies took part in a special meeting with the staff of the Academic Incubator of Entrepreneurship and Europe Direct in Kielce.
On December 14, 2017, a conference organized by DoNEC took place. The presented issues included, among others: the security of the Baltic Sea Region and the strategic importance of the Arctic. In addition, new directions of the Department's development were discussed.
In October 2017, the Department inaugurated a program: "Scandinavian Studies." 20 students had been accepted. This program is a novelty in Central Europe and it will be conducted entirely in English. The inaugural meeting was graced by the presence of Her Excellency Ambassador of Finland.
In May 2016, DoNEC organized the conference "Polish Foreign Policy in the Changing International World Order" (see the film on YouTube and post-conference materials). The conference brought together a few dozen experts in the field of foreign policy analysis. We do hope to make the event cyclical.


I've been toying with this idea for a while now and the tipping point came at the end of last week when I found out that some of you (Giles take a bow) have actually got a lot further than me and have completed painting and basing all the figures in the pack.
So here goes… This is the formal announcement of the start of the BfK Limited Edition Figures painting competition. At the moment, it's a "just for the fun of it" competition with the only guaranteed prize for the winner being the honour of victory and the accompanying bragging rights. If, however, I can come up with a suitably apt prize (or some kind sponsor donates one) then the stakes may get raised. l'll let you know if that comes to pass.
1). The competition entry must comprise the four figures and campfire/marmite castings from the BfK 2012 Limited Edition Figures pack. Many of you already have one or more of these packs in your hot little hands but those of you who haven't can still order them from me.
2). You may base the figures individually, or on one or more bases of whatever dimensions suit your preferences.
3). All the painting, varnishing and basing must be substantially your own work. If you use something that isn't (such as a pre-printed flag or decals, you should declare it as part of your entry).
4). The closing date for entries is 31 May 2013. I think that just over two months should be plenty of time but squeal in the comments if you think I'm being to restrictive.
5). Entries should be submitted in the form of a single jpg image file of width exactly 550 pixels and up to 550 pixels deep. The image may be a collage of multiple photographs. You can send them to me via e-mail attachments or suggest other ways. For example, I may set up a Dropbox folder where you can upload your entries.
6). Judging will be by a voting poll on BfK to be held shortly after the closing date. I will keep the poll open for about a week and anonymise the entries.
I can't think of anything else essential at this stage but feel free to post questions as comments below. It only remains for me to wish you "bon chances, mes amis!".
Over time, keeping up with that has been harder and harder to do – especially since my "real world" commitments have grown and mean that I no longer have the time and resources to devote that the Calpe website deserves. For some time now, Peter has been exploring ways to solve this conundrum and the result is that we've moved the Calpe website to a new place with new functionality and new ways of keeping it up to date that will make life easier for Peter and better for his customers. It also means that I will no longer need to worry about looking after the website because the new one provides tools for Peter to do that himself.
The observant among you will notice that many of the older Calpe ranges are not on the new site. Fear not, there's a plan for them. To quote from the introduction on the new site: "There [will be] a link to the old website where you can still purchase the old range of Prussian figures. From now on, the old range will be known as the 'Calpe Veterans', while the new figures will come under the title of 'Calpe System' figures." That's still being set up at the moment and I'll let you know when it's available.
Lastly, this doesn't mean the end of my involvement with Calpe Miniatures and you can still expect to get advance inside information from Calpe Towers right here. The next report is likely to be in the immediate aftermath of Salute 2013 (if not sooner).
So go and emjoy the new site and all that it offers!
I'm overdue with making the draw for the four lucky winners in the BfK Limited Edition Figures prize draw. As I expect you'll remember, each lucky winner will get one figure from the pack painted, varnished and based by me. I'll sign the underside of the base of each figure and, logistics permitting, I'll see if I can get Peter F to sign them too.
Congratulations to the four of you. Now you have the exquisite agony of following along with my series of paint-in postings in the knowledge that it's your figures that are being painted! In the normal run of things, you will each receive a figure selected at random by me. If, however, any of you four have a special preference then feel free to let me know. I can't guarantee you'll get the figure you want because I'm only painting one of each for the prizes but I'll see what I can do to make as many of you as happy with the outcome as possible.
On an administrative note, having had a second batch of figures cast up by Peter F, I've now dispatched almost all of the orders that have been paid for (only two outstanding to post this week). However, there are several of you who expressed an interest in ordering packs but haven't paid yet. If you're still interested in receiving packs, I urge you to review the payment instructions I've e-mailed to you. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you're no longer interested and sell the packs set aside for you to other customers.
Box of BfK Limited Edition Figures from Peter F.
Phew! It's hard work to keep up with this but I thought I should give you all a progress update on the BfK Limited Edition Figures project. As you can see from the photo, I've received a wonderful box full of cast packs of figures from Peter F., which he managed to get done before setting off on his Christmas holiday.
I've gradually been working through e-mailing everybody who has placed orders to sort out payment details. There are only a couple of people left to contact, so thank you for your patience. The other thing I have started doing is carefully packing the orders in bubble wrap and padded envelopes, labelling them up and getting them ready for a monster trip to the Post Office. To be honest, this is more likely to turn into several smaller, more manageable, trips. Packing is a surprisingly time consuming process (and I speak as somebody who had anticipated that considerable effort would be required) which has given me a keen appreciation for what it must be like for small wargames figures companies who have to do all their own picking, packing and postage to fulfil orders – not to mention keep on sculpting and casting new figures to add to the range and satisfy our insatiable appetites for new toys.
Please bear with me as I work my way through all this. I've got orders from 15 different countries, so some of you are unlikely to receive your parcels in time for Christmas but I'll do the best I can to get them all on their way this week.
First batch of orders ready for a trip to the Post Office.
After the hard labour is done, I shall be moving on to the much more pleasurable activity of painting up a pack myself. This first pack is destined to make up the figures for the prize draw and enable me to write the promised painting guide. My plan is to make detailed step-by-step postings as a I go along, so you can all join in and paint along with me if you like. Regular BfKers will know that my painting rate is normally exceedingly slow, so you don't need to worry about not being able to keep up if your figures don't arrive quickly! I'm toying with the idea having a small painting competition based around this phase of the project but that needs some thinking through – not to mention the question of a prize for the winner.
Band XVIII, Plate 29: French Baggage Train 1807.
Both of these contain details that will help me prepare the painting guide. So if you are able to help locate them, that would make me very happy.

Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Meredith Willson - John Barber
Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas was originally a hit for Perry Como and the Fontane Sisters with Mitchell Ayres and his Orchestra in 1951.Composed by Meredith Willson, the popular belief was that Willson wrote the song whilst staying in the Grand Hotel in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.Whilst the arrangement doesn't feature the Fontane sisters, it does seek to capture the full palette of orchestral colour as heard on the 1951 original recording, with tenor horns often playing the part of the female close harmony group.
Three Little Maids (from the Mikado) - Sir Arthur Sullivan - Christian Jenkins
Since its premiere in 1885 at the Savoy Theatre in London, The Mikado (or The Town of Titipu) has become one of the most-performed pieces of musical theatre in history. As with many of Gilbert and Sullivan's productions, the show satirizes aspects of Victorian Britain's politics and aristocracy; in The Mikado, however, the duo cleverly cloaked these criticisms behind a charming story set not in Britain, but in exotic Japan.Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado (the Japanese emperor), has fled in disguise to avoid marrying a much older suitor, and to find and marry his own beloved, the beautiful Yum-Yum. Yum-Yum, however, is the ward of Ko-Ko, the lord high executioner, and has become betrothed to him against her will. In the meantime, Ko-Ko finds his job difficult to carry out as the Mikado puts pressure on him to fulfill his quota of killings, but the executioner realizes he is too soft-hearted to kill anyone. His solution is to trade a month of marriage to Yum-Yum for Nanki-Poo's life (though he only pretends to kill him), but, of course, the plan backfires as Ko-Ko finds himself subject to capital punishment for allegedly killing the Mikado's son. As usual in Gilbert's imaginative plots, the tangled web unravels, and everyone lives happily ever after.This complex satire is characterized by the clever wordplay, memorable tunes, and endearing characters that have allowed Gilbert and Sullivan's popularity with audiences to endure for well over a century.The trio Three Little Maids is sung by Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing, and the female chorus, and is arranged here for three tenor horns.
JOYOUS CARILLON (Brass Band Set) - Norman Bearcroft
This music takes the form of a double trio (cornets and trombones) with full brass band accompaniment and is based on the composer's own Christmas song for female voices, 'Carol of the Bells'.
The Shopping Centre - William Vean
Many people when asked the question 'Do you have any hobbies?' will answer 'Shopping' (even though the female part of the population may be more interested in this than the male one). Of course it is great fun to walk about in a Shopping Mall, browsing in various small shops, looking for things you have always wanted to possess. This was what William Vean was doing one day when he came across the idea to write a composition in which several shops could try to sell their wares (and this idea didn't cost him a penny). First, the audience are taken to a 'Jeans store', then a 'Phone shop' is visited, after which a visit is made to a 'Perfumery'. Thefourth part depicts a profession which is practised in several premises, namely that of shoplifter. In the fifth part there is room for a bite to eat at a Chinese restaurant, and finally after a visit to the hairdresser's it's time to go home.
Bread and Games - William Vean
'Panem et Circenses', Bread and Games were essential for keeping the citizens of ancient Rome in check. While the bread was meant for the poorest among the Romans, the Games were Popular Pastime Number One for everybody.There were different kinds of games, such as chariot races (especially popular with female spectators), or wild-beast fights, where lions, tigers, bulls or bears were set on one another or even on human beings. Most popular, however, were the Gladiator fights. In 'Bread and Games' William Vean depicts one of the many fights in the antique Colosseum. 1. Entrance of the Gladiators: By powerful bugle-calls the attention of the peoplewas asked for, after which the Gladiators entered the Arena at the sound of heroic marching-music.2.Swordfight: We can hear that the fights were not mere child's play in this part.On the contrary, they were a matter of life and death and were fought accordingly.3.Mercy of the Emperor: Sometimes a wounded gladiator could be fortunate, depending on the mercy of the audience. Waving one's handkerchief meant mercy, a turned-down thumb meant no pardon. The Emperor had the right to take the final decision, but he usually complied with the wish of the majority of the public. 4.Lap of Honour: Gladiators were mainly selected among slaves, convicted criminals, or prisoners of war. Consequently, winning was very important, as it would mean fame, honour and sometimes even wealth. A lap of honour, therefore, was the winner's due reward.
La Viuda Negra - Carl Wittrock
Carl Wittrock composed La Viuda Negra (The Black Widow) for the Dutch Brass Band Championships (2010). A Spanish tinged composition filled with drama and emotion. La Viuda Negra is a Spanish widow, dressed in black clothes. Her face is marked by traces of sorrow, but her speaking eyes and sanguineous appearance attracts the attention of everyone. Many man's heart should beat faster! What is the story of this mysterious woman? The black widow (Latrodectus Mactan) is also the nickname of a spider. This spider is well known for the distinctive black and red coloring of the female of the species and for the fact that she will occasionally eat her mateafter reproduction.
Joyous Carillon (Cornet And Trombone Double Trio with Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Bearcroft, Norman
Joyous Carillon (Cornet And Trombone Double Trio with Brass Band - Score only) - Bearcroft, Norman
Jubilee Gigue (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Wiseman, Debbie - Houlding, Christopher
Composer Debbie Wiseman is one of the UK's most successful female music ambassadors. Throughout the past 20 years, there are probably few people in the UK who have not heard a theme from one of Debbie's many film or television productions. Honoured in the Queen's New Year's with an MBE for services to the music and film industry, she has been awarded honorary fellowships at both the music colleges where she studied, Trinity College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. "Jubilee Gigue" was commissioned to be performed on the Georgian barge as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant. Inspired by the "Gigue" in Handel's original Water Music, the work has a rollicking, upbeat feel and is now newly arranged for brass band by Chris Houlding. Duration: 5.30. Suitable for 3rd Section Bands and above.
Voi Che Sapete (from The Marriage of Figaro) (Euphonium Solo with Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus - Littlemore, Phillip
Mozart's opera, The Marriage of Figaro, was based on what was a rather scandalous play by Pierre Beaumarchais, because the drama involves an incompetent nobleman being upstaged by a crafty, quick-witted servant named Figaro, in their quest for the same woman. The action takes place in just one day and offers a series of awkward and humorous situations, complete with a vibrant dialogue between the all the main characters. Voi Che Sapeteis performed by Cherubino, who is about to be sent off to the army because the Count finds him a nuisance. When Cherubino appears before the Countess and Susanna to tell them of his fate, this aria is sung at the request of Susanna for a love song. Cherubino is characterized as a young adolescent who is in love with every woman he meets, and because his voice is yet unbroken, he is always played by a female singer.Duration: 2:30


We describe an application of Macedo's computational model of selective attention for overcoming the problem of information and interruption overload of intelligent agents in travel information systems. This computational model has been integrated into the architecture of a BDI artificial agent so that this can autonomously select relevant, interesting travel information, while ignoring other less relevant information, to communicate to its human owner so that her/his processing resources can be allocated more effectively. We illustrate and provide experimental results of this role of the artificial, selective attention mechanism in the travel domain.


The tomb is empty. The cloths are rolled up and left on the ground. Rich symbols! The first attests to the resurrection of the Body. That the tomb is empty means it wasn't just the Soul that rose, but Body and Soul. It also affirms the Body as Good... It is God's creation and it is GOOD.
Although the sins He bore harmed the Body with their consequences, however, no sin has the power to render what God has made Good evil... the empty tomb speaks of the power of God to raise us from where sin and evil have left us to where God wants us to be... His sons and daughters.


American wine has been produced for over 300 years. Today, wine production is performed in all fifty states, with California leading the way in wine production followed by Washington State, Oregon and New York. The United States is the fourth largest wine producing country in the world after France, Italy, and Spain. The production in the US State of California alone is more than double of the production of the entire country of Australia.
The North American continent is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, Vitis vulpina, and Vitis amurensis, but it was the introduction of the European Vitis vinifera by European settlers that led to the growth of the wine making industry. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the US is the fifth most planted country in the world after France, Italy, Spain and Turkey.
California is a U.S. state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. It is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and to the south by Mexico.
Oregon has several different growing regions within the state's borders which are well-suited to the cultivation of grapes; additional regions straddle the border between Oregon and the states of Washington and Idaho.
Virginia wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Virginia. Wine has been produced in the area since the early days of European colonization in the 17th century.
Washington State is one of the United States largest and best wine producing regions. The central area of Washington State provides the climate and terrior that is perfect for growing grapes and making wine.
