The Decatur Public Library and History of the Heartland will host this beautiful and touching dog tag flag memorial April 30- May 2. The flag is owned by Veterans & Athletes United (VAU) an all-volunteer disabled veterans 501c3 non-profit organization based in Richmond, VA. Their mission is to empower wounded, injured and ill veterans to fully live their lives and honor our fallen military heroes.
The 2nd part of the VAU mission is to honor our fallen heroes and their families. The VAU Fallen Heroes Memorial is a 28ft wide by 6ft tall American flag symbolizing the shape of the flag when draped on a fallen service members casket. It is designed out of close to 7000 dog tags with all the names of those who have fallen in the Global War on Terror. Fifty gold stars are placed on the flag to honor and recognize Gold Star Families from all 50 states. Displayed in front of the flag is a battlefield cross sculpted from mahogany wood by veteran artist Alicia Dietz. This memorial travels to special locations where it is open to the public, providing community reflection of their service and sacrifice.
History of the Heartland founder, Ayn Owens began negotiating to get the Memorial in Macon County late last summer. "I found it by accident while doing a google search and immediately wanted to bring it here to honor our fallen Heroes and their families." The flag has only been displayed on the East Coast and at the Pentagon. It will be escorted by a disabled Veteran team from Richmond, VA. "Your town has definitely taken a heavy load. Truly appreciate their service and sacrifice as well as their families," says James Howard, President of VAU.
Macon County currently has 3 dog tags on the memorial:
Our tags on flag-March 23, 2003, Marine Pvt. Jonathan Gifford, 30, Decatur
June 21, 2007 Army Spc Karen N Clifton, 22, Mt Zion
July 16, 2010 Army Sgt Jesse R Tilton, 23, Decatur
The Library will also host displays honoring the lives of these fallen and
August 23, 2017 US Navy Petty Officer Logan Palmer, 23, Harristown
(Logan is not currently on the Memorial)
Becky Damptz, Head of Archives and Special Collections will coordinate with the families for their displays to honor their loved one.
This Memorial was internally funded through VAU veterans, built by veteran/active duty volunteers and caring professionals from military families. From a 3yr old girl helping to place pavers to a boy scout earning his eagle badge, many great people came together to make it possible. Generous in-kind material donations, pro bono work and discounted prices were provided by many within the community.

Q: Cómo puedo relacionar bien mis tablas en MySQL para un aplicación funcional? Tengo tres tablas en mi BD,una llamada "clientes" con los siguientes campos:
(id,nombre_cliente, direcc_cliente, telef_cliente, email_cliente)
Otra tabla llamada "trabajos" con los campos
(id, codigo,nombre, costo), los cuales muestro en  las siguientes tablas:

Y al hacer click en mi tabla1 en el boton verde "AGREGAR TRABAJO", sale una ventana modal que guarda los datos en la tabla "pedidos" con los campos(id_pedido, id_cliente, nombre_cliente, fecha_ingreso, Cantidad,Anticipo)

Tengo la siguiente consulta, que al escribir un nombre me aparece su info:

<?
include("config.php");
 //Instaciamos la clase de base de datos
  $db = new Clasedb();
  //Llamamos a la funcion para conectar a la base de datos
  $db->MySQL();
  //Consultamos la tabla regis
  $consulta = $db->consulta("SELECT P.id_pedido, P.nombre_cliente, P.Fecha_ingreso, P.NombreTrabajo, T.nombre, T.costo, P.Cantidad, P.Cantidad*T.Costo AS Total, P.Anticipo, P.Cantidad*T.Costo-P.Anticipo AS Resta  FROM pedidos AS P JOIN trabajos AS T ON P.NombreTrabajo = T.id WHERE P.nombre_cliente  LIKE '%$buscar%'");

?>

 Y como resultado me aparece lo siguiente:

Mi duda es, ¿esta bien la forma de hacerlo? ¿están bien relacionados los datos?
o ¿cómo se asigna informacion a un determinado cliente a través de su id? y otra cosa, ¿cómo guardo esa consulta en una tabla? Es que si me dan un nuevo anticipo quiero ingresarlo y que este se actualice en la tabla y en la BD? y quiero agregarle un input select que diga estatus: pagado/pendiente y que en una tabla salga los que estan pendientes y otra los que ya pagaron para que al final pueda mostar una tabla de las ventas que hay cada mes o de los doctores activos algo asi.

A: Buenas Rms,
Por lo que comentas yo veo que estás creando varias entidades/tablas de 1 a n que cruzan sus datos.
En estos casos existe una entidad derivada de estas dos.
El ejemplo seria algo parecido a esto:

Si te das cuenta la relación existente entre la entidad 1 y la 2 provocará la creación de otra tabla para poder persistir está información.
Una vez se tiene claro el hecho de que hay que crear esta tabla, hay que tener en cuenta la dependencia de la E3 con respecto a E1 y a E2. Es decir que pasaría si eliminamos un registro en E1 o E2.
Pueden haber casos en los que debas crear una constraint con opciones de ON DELETE CASCADE  para E1 o para E2 para no provocar registros huérfanos.
Espero haberte ayudado, y no vas por mal camino un saludo.

Bill 148 Rollback Alert
By Landon P. Young and Amanda D. Boyce
Ontario's Conservative government has moved to repeal most of the changes to the province's employment and labour legislation made by the prior government's Bill 148.
Most of the Bill 148 amendments came into force just under a year ago on November 27, 2017. We wrote extensively about the sweeping nature of those changes.
After significant input from business groups, the government has introduced Bill 47, Making Ontario Open for Business Act, 2018 ("Bill 47"). To view the text of the Bill after it passed First Reading, click here. The Bill is currently in its early stages at first reading and may undergo revisions before it is passed into law, just as Bill 148 did.
The below-noted changes to the Employment Standards Act are set to come into force on the day Bill 47 receives Royal Assent or on January 1, 2019, whichever is later. The changes to the Labour Relations Act will come into force on the day Bill 47 receives Royal Assent. In light of this timeline, it does seem that the government intends to push the Bill through some time before the end of 2018. This would be in time to repeal certain provisions of Bill 148 that would otherwise be due to come into effect at the start of 2019.
Notably, all other Bill 148 amendments, such as the introduction of Domestic Violence Leave and the increase in minimum vacation entitlements after five years of service, will remain unchanged.
Set out below is a summary of the most significant aspects of Bill 47. For a fulsome discussion of the below-noted changes and how to prepare your organization, be sure to attend our 32nd Annual Employers' Conference on November 8, 2018.
Changes to the Employment Standards Act (the "ESA")
Freezing Minimum Wage
Bill 148 increased the minimum hourly wage from $11.60 to $14 an hour on January 1, 2018. Minimum wage was set to increase to $15 an hour on January 1, 2019, with annual adjustments for inflation thereafter.
Bill 47 will not roll minimum wage back to pre-Bill 148 levels, but it will halt the scheduled January 1, 2019 increase and freeze minimum wage at $14 an hour for 33 months, with annual adjustments for inflation on October 1 of every year starting in 2020.
Incoming Scheduling Changes to be Repealed
The following scheduling provisions that are currently set to come into force on January 1, 2019 are to be repealed:
The right for an employee to request changes to schedule or work location after being employed for at least three months;
Entitlement to a minimum of three hours' pay for being on-call if the employee is available to work but is not called in to work, or works less than three hours;
The right for employees to refuse requests or demands with fewer than 96 hours' notice to work or to be on-call on a day that an employee is not scheduled to work or to be on-call;
Entitlement to three hours' pay at their regular rate in the event of cancellation of a scheduled shift or an on-call shift within 48 hours before the shift was to begin; and
The record-keeping requirements that relate to the above-noted scheduling provisions.
Three-Hour Rule
Bill 47 will preserve a version of the "three-hour rule" by requiring employers to pay employees for three hours at their regular rate when an employee who regularly works more than three hours a day is required to report to work, but works less than three hours.
This requirement will not apply if the employer is unable to provide work for the employee because of fire, lightning, power failure, storms or similar causes beyond the employer's control that result in the stopping of work.
Personal Emergency Leave Days Replaced
Since January 1, 2018, all employers have been required to provide employees with ten days of Personal Emergency Leave ("PEL") days, the first two of which are paid. Previously, PEL days were only available to employers with 50 or more employees and employers did not have to pay employees when they took PEL days.
Bill 47 will eliminate the two paid leave days and substitute a package of unpaid leave days for personal illness, injury or medical emergency (3 days), family responsibility (3 days) and bereavement (2 days) for a total of 8 days per year rather than 10.
Bill 148 prohibited employers from requiring employees to produce notes from a medical practitioner to justify taking a PEL day for illness. Bill 47 would repeal this restriction. Employers will once again be able to require employees to provide evidence "reasonable in the circumstances" to support taking a leave day, which can include a doctor's note.
In with the Old: Public Holiday Pay
Bill 47 returns the "old formula" prior to the Bill 148 amendments that required employers to calculate the public holiday pay payable to an employee by taking the total amount of regular wages earned and vacation pay payable to the employee in the four work weeks before the work week in which the public holiday occurred, and dividing by 20.
In an effort to increase entitlements for part-time and casual employees, Bill 148 altered the public holiday pay calculation. As of January 1, 2018, employers were required to divide the total amount of regular wages earned in the pay period immediately preceding the public holiday by the number of days the employee worked in that period.
Employers complained that this method was confusing and unworkable, and generated undesirable results. For instance, casual employees who worked few shifts were often entitled to more public holiday pay than regular employees.
The Liberal government had already reverted to the "old formula" on a provisional basis, pending further consultation, with the introduction of Ontario Regulation 375/18 on May 7, 2018. Bill 47 would amend the ESA to make the "old formula" permanent.
No More Reverse Onus for "Misclassification" of Employees
Bill 148 codified the existing case law prohibiting employers from treating employees as though they are not employees for the purposes of the ESA. But bill 148 went one step further and reversed the onus of proof so that employers were required to prove that the individual met the test for independent contractor status if challenged by the Ministry of Labour except in the case of prosecutions under the ESA.
Bill 47 leaves the substantive provision prohibiting employers from misclassifying employees intact, but removes the reverse onus on organizations to prove their innocence.
Equal Pay for Equal Work (Employment Status and Assignment Employee Status)
Bill 148 added equal pay for equal work provisions on the basis of "employee status", which includes whether the employee is part-time, casual, or temporary or "assignment employee status", which means employed through a temporary agency.
Bill 47 would repeal the prohibitions based on employment status and assignment employee status. However, it would maintain the prohibition against discriminating on the basis of sex.
Bill 47 would remove the employee rights introduced by Bill 148 to request a review of their rate of pay by their employer if they believe they are being paid differently based on sex, as well as employers' obligation to adjust the pay accordingly, or provide a written response if the employer disagrees.
The ESA still prohibits employers for paying an employee of one sex at a rate of pay less than the rate paid to an employee of the other sex when performing substantially the same kind of work since 2000.
Penalties for Contravention
The government has announced its intention to reinstate previous administrative penalties for contraventions of the ESA. The penalties were increased by regulation in December 2017, and will decrease from $350 to $250, and accordingly from $700 to $500 for a second offence, and from $1500 to $1000 for subsequent contraventions.
Sheltered Workshops Exemption
Currently, the ESA does not apply to individuals who perform work in a simulated job or working environment if the primary purpose is the individual's rehabilitation. This exemption is set to be repealed on January 1, 2019, but Bill 47 would delay the repeal and it would come into force on a day to be named by proclamation.
Changes to the Labour Relations Act (the "LRA")
Card-based Certification Ousted for "Specified Industry Employers"
Bill 47 would repeal card-based certification in home care, building services, and temporary help agency industries, and would reinstate voting through secret ballot. Card-based certification for these industries was brought in by Bill 148.
No More Access to Employee Lists
Bill 47 would repeal the rules which allow a union to apply to the Ontario Labour Relations Board (the "OLRB" or the "Board") for an order requiring the employer to produce a list of employees in industries other than the construction industry.
The changes brought in by Bill 148 gave the OLRB the power to order an employer to provide a list of its employees, with contact info, if 20% or more of the individuals in the group had signed union cards. The intent of the Bill 148 changes was to make it easier for unions to organize non-union employers.
Reinstating Old Rules Regarding Remedial Certification
Bill 148 expanded the discretion of the OLRB to order that an employer be automatically unionized without an employee vote if it found that the employer had committed an unfair labour practice. The OLRB did not have to be satisfied that automatic certification was the only sufficient remedy for the employer's breach of the Act.
Bill 47 would bring back the longstanding test that existed pre-Bill 148, being that the OLRB should only automatically certify an employer if a new vote of the employees would be an insufficient remedy. Under that test, only the most egregious of employer unfair labour practices typically resulted in automatic certification. The OLRB will also be required to consider the results of a previous representation vote and whether the trade union appears to have membership support adequate for the purposes of collective bargaining.
On the day that the above-noted revisions come into force, the OLRB will be required to determine any applications previously made, but not yet determined, in accordance with the Bill 47 requirements.
Successor Rights
Bill 47 would repeal the regulation-making authority to expand successor rights to contract tendering for publicly-funded services such as homecare.
Surprisingly, Bill 47 would preserve the current section 69.1 introduced by Bill 148 which deems any new provider of building services to be a successor employer. The services include building cleaning, food, and security services.
This departs from the usual test where the union must show that enough assets and other aspects of a business, including but not limited to employees, were transferred to constitute a "sale of business." This has significant implications for building owners, including condo corporations, as it effectively means that once a union gets in, the union and its collective agreement will continue to apply even if the owner changes building service providers.
Structure of Bargaining Units
Bill 47 would repeal the provisions introduced by Bill 148 allowing the Board the ability to review the structure of bargaining units. In their place, where an employer or union that represents a bargaining unit of employees of an employer requests review, Bill 47 would empower the OLRB to review the structure of bargaining units only where it is satisfied that the existing bargaining units are no longer appropriate for collective bargaining. Notably, this section would not apply to construction industry employers.
Strikes/Lockouts
Where no collective agreement is in operation and the Minister has appointed a conciliation officer or mediator under the LRA, Bill 47 would increase the amount of time before a strike or lockout is permitted from seven to nine days after the Minister releases the report of the conciliation board or mediator, or from 14 to 16 days after the Minister releases a "no board" notice.
Return-to-work Rights
Bill 47 would reintroduce the six month limitation on an employee's right to reinstatement following the start of a strike or lock-out. If an employee had made an application to return to work before Bill 47 comes into force, the six month time limitation would be imposed on that application.
The existing exceptions to this right of reinstatement would remain intact. If there is insufficient work for all striking employees, they will be placed on layoff in accordance with the seniority provisions of the applicable collective agreement.
Bill 47 will also repeal the right for returning employees to be reinstated, and to displace any person who performed bargaining unit work during the strike or lockout if the returning employee had longer service than the other employee when the strike or lockout began.
First Collective Agreement Mediation and Mediation-Arbitration
Bill 148 expanded the ability of unions and employers to apply for binding first agreement mediation and mediation-arbitration. Bill 47 would provide for first agreement arbitration if the OLRB is satisfied that bargaining has been unsuccessful due to the uncompromising nature of the bargaining position taken by a party without justification among other reasons. The Board will still have broad discretion to grant first agreement arbitration if it so wishes.
Bill 47 will repeal the Bill 148 first collective agreement mediation and mediation-arbitration provisions and provisions for educational support that applied before the application made it to arbitration.
Bill 47 would also institute procedural changes regarding the order of proceedings when multiple applications for first agreement arbitration as well as displacement or decertification are made concurrently.
Collective Agreements Publicly Available
Bill 47 would require the Minister to make all collective agreements publicly available, including by being posted on the Government of Ontario website.
Reduced Fines
Bill 47 will reinstate the previous maximum fines for offences under the LRA by decreasing the fines from $5,000 to $2,000 for individuals and from $100,000 to $25,000 for organizations.
Streamlining and Improving Processes
Bill 47 would streamline proceedings at the OLRB by allowing parties to serve documents by mail, courier, fax, or email. Further, the OLRB would be given greater flexibility in managing its own processes and procedures, and would no longer require input from the Lieutenant Governor in Council to institute new rules to control its procedures.
Bill 47 would also alter the deemed timelines for delivery of documents to the Minister as follows:
Where any request, application, or filing is delivered to the Minister's office at a time when it is open, it will be deemed to be given or made on the day shown on a receipt or acknowledgment provided by the Minister or his or her representative
Where it is mailed with a method that allows delivery to be verified, it will be deemed to be given or made on the day shown in the verification.
If it is sent via fax or email, it is deemed to be given or made on the day on which the fax or email is sent, unless it is sent after 5pm or on a day the Minister's office is closed, in which case it is deemed received the following day.
Where it is electronically filed, it is deemed given or made on the day on which the electronic filing was made, unless it is sent after 5pm or on a day the Minister's office is closed, in which case it is deemed received the following day.
Decisions, orders, and other communications from the Minister or from an arbitrator or arbitration board will deemed to be released the day they are sent.

If you commute from Denmark to your workplace in Sweden, you have limited tax liability and you may be taxed at the so-called SINK tax (state income tax for non-residents), which is 25 percent (2019).
People who live abroad and commute to a workplace in Sweden can pay SINK tax. SINK tax is a state tax on gross income, which means that you can also have other income, such as interest income that must still be taxed in Denmark. SINK tax is 25 % (2019), but there are no deduction options. If you want to be SINK taxed, you must submit an application to Skatteverket, the Swedish Tax Authority. The application must be renewed every year.
SINK= state income tax for non-residents (statlig inkomstskatt för utomlands bosatta).
If you take an extra job in Denmark, SINK tax in Sweden can affect the Danish tax. Please contact Skattestyrelsen in Denmark for a specific assessment of your particular situation and your status for social security.
If your workplace is in Sweden and you stay there during the weeks, you are fully taxable in Sweden, unless it is temporary work of maximum of 6 months. This means that you have to pay Swedish tax according to the tax rates that apply to those who usually live in Sweden.
Persons residing in Denmark who commute daily to a job in Sweden, can choose whether to pay SINK or ordinary income tax (average tax rate when you are not resident in a particular Swedish municipality). If you choose to pay income tax, you should be aware that as a resident in Denmark, due to conditions to be fulfilled to the Danish rules, you cannot claim deductions for interest rates in Sweden. Please contact Skattestyrelsen if you have questions about this.
If you work as an artist or a sportsperson in Sweden, you pay a separate A-SINK tax of 15% to the Swedish state. Please note that due to tax agreement additional tax may be paid in Denmark.
For other questions about SINK or income tax in Sweden, please contact the Swedish Tax Authority.

Winston Churchill in the New Statesman archive
A pre-war interview, "Should we hang Mr Churchill?" and how a wartime cabinet colleague fell under the Prime Minister's spell.
By New Statesman
(Photo By Strikers march on Sidney Street. Photo: Getty)
22 May 1926: Should we hang Mr Churchill or not?
By Clifford Sharp
In 1926, when Churchill was chancellor, British miners went on strike to demand improved working conditions. Churchill's response – sending in the army – was tempered by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who insisted that the soldiers remain unarmed and who later called for reconciliation and peace. An extract from a commentary by the then NS editor.
By the spirit and manner in which Mr Baldwin ended the great strike he almost atoned for the way in which he precipitated it. For there is no longer any doubt that it was precipitated by the action of the Government, and, what is more, quite deliberately precipitated. It is, of course, a matter of common knowledge now that the strike need not have occurred . . .
What actually happened, it seems, was this. The Prime Minister, Lord Birkenhead and Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland were fighting desperately for peace, whilst a section of the Cabinet, led by Mr Winston Churchill, Mr Neville Chamberlain and Mr Bridgeman, were itching for a fight. The peace party succeeded in arranging terms based on the Royal Commission's Report, upon which the strike would be called off and the miners left, if they would not agree, to fight alone. With these terms they returned in triumph to the Cabinet room only to find Messrs Churchill and Chamberlain in charge and a clear majority in favour of war at all costs. When the Prime Minister proposed nevertheless to go forward with the negotiations and avert the strike, he was faced with the immediate resignation of seven of his colleagues—Churchill, Neville Chamberlain, Bridgeman, Amery, "Jix", Cunliffe-Lister, and one other of whose identity we are not sure. So he gave way. He ought not to have given way, of course, but excuses may perhaps be found for an utterly exhausted man who, having fought the Trade Unions for days and nights, found himself called upon at the last moment to fight his own colleagues.
The plot to oust Boris Johnson has not been foiled – it has only just begun
Why is it just the left that gets accused of virtue-signalling?
Mr Churchill was the villain of the piece. He is reported to have remarked that he thought "a little blood-letting" would be all to the good. Whether he actually used this phrase or not there is no doubt about his tireless efforts to seize the providential opportunity for a fight.
So much for the way the strike began. When it ended Mr Baldwin had regained control of his Cabinet and had acquired so enormous a personal popularity in the country that he could afford to let all his colleagues resign if they wanted to. He took charge of affairs without consulting anybody, and without any Cabinet authorisation—which would certainly not have been forthcoming from the fight-to-a-finish section—he insisted upon peace. Thereby he atoned for his previous surrender. "Victimisation" was being attempted in almost every industry. Men were being asked to return to work as new hands, at much lower wages, under humiliating conditions. The Prime Minister stopped all that within twenty-four hours, by his insistence upon the necessity of forgetting the past and looking only to the future. Some of his colleagues and many of his supporters railed at him for his "weakness"; but this time he stood firm—and gave us peace. His atonement, we think, should be accepted. He blundered on that Sunday night in agreeing to war, but ever since then he has fought for peace, and fought with an extraordinary measure of success.
We do not know whether there is anybody left who still honestly believes that the strike was a "revolutionary" attempt to subvert the British Constitution. Its real nature, at any rate, was shown clearly enough by the actual course of events. It was a strike "in furtherance of a trade dispute", and nothing more; and in so far as it secured for the miners—if they would but have seized the chance—a better hearing than they would otherwise have had, it may not unreasonably be claimed to have been a successful strike, despite the inevitable, and in our view timely, "surrender". Not only was it not a strike against the Constitution, it was not even a strike against the Government. If it had the appearance of a strike against the Government, that was only because the Government had intervened—and rightly, though very ineffectively, intervened—in the struggle between the miners and the mineowners. If it had not intervened the strike would have taken place just the same; but then the truth would have been clear to everybody—namely, that it was a strike against the inefficiency and grasping obstinacy of the mineowners—nothing more and nothing less. The Constitution was never threatened either by word or by deed.
The general result of the strike is not unsatisfactory. It has shown that an industrial upheaval can take place, in this country at any rate, without the loss of a single life. But what is far more important, it has shown that the weapon of the General Strike is practically worthless in the hands of those who are not prepared to go to all lengths of revolutionary violence. It is a weapon which revolutionaries (being a tiny minority) could never wield; yet unless it is they who wield it, it is blunt and ineffective.
And so from henceforth we may hope that it will be discarded by the Trade Union movement. It has been tested and broken, and we all know where we are far more clearly than we did a month ago. The Trade Unions of Britain stood by their comrades in the mines, and perhaps by their wonderful solidarity they achieved something for them; but certainly the majority of them will never again wish to resort to so desperate a measure.
We have bought experience at a pretty high price, but we have got it; and no section of the community, we suppose, is more satisfied with the bargain than the "constitutional" leaders of the Labour movement. The irrepressible left-wingers are silenced; their dreams are dissolved; they must set about the Sisyphean task of converting the Trade Unions of Great Britain to revolutionary ideas, or admit failure.
For having so notably helped to teach us all this, ought we to thank Mr Churchill or ought we to hang him on a lamp-post for the incorrigible "blood-letter" that he is? We are really not quite sure what is the proper answer to that question; but probably—to be on the safe side—it would be best that he should be hanged.

7 January 1939: "The British people would rather go down fighting"
By Kingsley Martin
The Second World War was still eight months away when Kingsley Martin, editor of the New Statesman from 1931 to 1960, interviewed Winston Churchill, yet again on the Conservative back benches, about democracy and fascism, the necessity of rearmament and the British attitude to war.
A famous journalist once told me of an alarming interview that he had with Mr Churchill some years before the last war. Mr Churchill happened to be in full Privy Councillor's uniform and emphasised his points with finely executed passes and slashes of his sword. Mr Churchill himself declares that this is a fairy tale; and certainly, when I went to see him the other day, he was wielding nothing more ferocious than the builder's trowel with which he was completing an arch in the house that he has built with his own hands this summer. He was not, however, too much absorbed to discuss very fully the problem of Democracy and Efficiency.
Kingsley Martin The country has learnt to associate you with the view that we must all get together as quickly as possible to rearm in defence of democracy. In view of the strength and character of the totalitarian states, is it possible to combine the reality of democratic freedom with efficient military organisation?
Mr Winston Churchill The essential aspects of democracy are the freedom of the individual, within the framework of laws passed by Parliament, to order his life as he pleases, and the uniform enforcement of tribunals independent of the executive. The laws are based on Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus, the Petition of Right and others. Without this foundation there can be no freedom or civilisation, anyone being at the mercy of officials and liable to be spied upon and betrayed even in his own home. As long as these rights are defended, the foundations of freedom are secure.
KM One point people are especially afraid of is that free criticism in Parliament and in the press may be sacrificed. The totalitarian states, it is said, are regimented, organised and unhampered, as the Prime Minister suggested the other day, by critics of the Government "who foul their own nest".
WC Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body; it calls attention to the development of an unhealthy state of things. If it is heeded in time, danger may be averted; if it is suppressed, a fatal distemper may develop.
KM Do you attribute the slowness in preparation of which you complain to any inherent defect in democratic institutions?
WC I am convinced that with adequate leadership, democracy can be a more efficient form of government than Fascism. In this country at any rate the people can readily be convinced that it is necessary to make sacrifices, and they will willingly undertake them if the situation is put clearly and fairly before them . . . It may be that greater efficiency in secret military preparations can be achieved in a country with autocratic institutions than by the democratic system. But this advantage is not necessarily great, and it is far outweighed by the strength of a democratic country in a long war. In an autocracy, when the pinch comes, the blame is thrown upon the leader and the system breaks up. In a democratic country the people feel that they are responsible, and if they believe in their cause will hold out much longer than the population of Dictator States . . .
KM May I go back now to the question of pre-war preparation? We should all agree on the necessity for many restrictions in war-time, but what about conscription and the compulsion of labour and capital in time of peace? Captain Liddell Hart has remarked that to have conscription to combat Fascism is like cutting our throats to avoid a disease.
WC I see no reason why any essential part of our liberties should be lost by preparations for defence. I do not think we need a great conscript army on the continental model, but we should have besides our regular professional army a considerably larger body of Territorials available for home defence or foreign service in an emergency. In case of war a great army could be built up around such a skeleton. I would not hesitate to fill up the gap by ballot among all the young men of the country of the appropriate age, allowing no substitute whatsoever.
KM How much coercion of industry is implied in a Ministry of Supply with special powers? Will it involve state control of raw materials, and compete with the methods the Nazis have so successfully employed in South-East Europe and South America?
WC As you know, I have long pressed for a Ministry of Supply. In my view this should have powers, if necessary, to compel industry to give priority as required to Government contracts for rearmament purposes, and to devote or turn over any necessary portion of its plant to such work.
KM May I pass on to another related subject – ARP [Air Raid Precautions]? People say that the problem of defending London and other big cities in itself involves regimentation on an enormous scale. That you have to set up an army of petty officers with undefined powers.
WC I think a great mistake has been made in spreading our ARP efforts over the whole country, instead of concentrating on what I should call the target areas. I do not believe any enemy will waste his bombs and effort on killing ordinary citizens just out of spite, when he could obtain a much greater military result by bombing docks, factories, Government offices and the like. I am certain that in the villages the risk will be infinitesimal. Our main effort should be to protect workers in the central parts of London, in the ports, and in the manufacturing districts which will be subject to attack. I should be inclined to consider the building of great underground roads, leading out of London and branching off to various points in the countryside, which would not only serve to evacuate the Capital in time of danger, but could be used as dormitories and refuges for those who were compelled to remain behind. That some steps should be taken to prepare the population for the ordeal of bombing which would probably overtake it on the outbreak of war, seems to be essential. If everybody knows that preparations have been made, and what to do, it seems to me there is less likelihood of inhabitants of the East End believing they will be left in the lurch while the rich look after themselves.
KM People who are not necessarily pacifist are horrified at the idea that we may go into another war with the same kind of generals who were responsible for Passchendaele and other horrors in the last war. They say that they might be prepared to fight for democracy if they were democratically led; but that they are damned if they will be sacrificed again for the Camberley clique that was so horribly inefficient and wasteful in the last war. Do you think it is possible to democratise the army?
WC It is quite true, I know, that many people consider that the cadre of officers is selected from too narrow a class. I have always taken the view that merit should be rewarded by promotion in the army as in any other profession. I support this not only from the point of view of democratising the army, but mainly because I think it leads to efficiency such as no other system can achieve.
KM May I ask one more question of a more general character? Most of us feel that if there is a war it will be so destructive that the very substance of our civilisation, let alone our democracy, is likely to be destroyed. Clearly the great object is to prevent war. Is it possible in your view still to regard these military preparations, not as
the acceptance of inevitable war, but merely as a necessary complement of a policy which may keep the peace?
WC I fear that failure to rearm Britain is bound to lead to war. Had we strengthened our defences earlier, the arms race need never have arisen. We should have come to a settlement with Germany while she was still disarmed. I think it is still possible, with a strong Britain and France, to preserve the peace of Europe.
KM Is it not true historically that an armaments race leads to war?
WC To say that an arms race always leads to war seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse. A government resolved to attain ends detrimental to its neighbours, which does not shrink from the possibility of war, makes preparations for war, its neighbours take defensive action, and you say an arms race is beginning. But this is the symptom of the intention of one government to challenge or destroy its neighbours, not the cause of the conflict. The pace is set by the potential aggressor, and, failing collective action by the rest of the world to resist him, the alternatives are an arms race or surrender. War is very terrible, but stirs a proud people. There have been periods in our history when we have given way for a long time, but a new and formidable mood arises . . .
KM A bellicose mood?
WC A mood of "Thus far, and no farther". It is only by the spirit of resistance that man has learnt to stand upright, and in-stead of walking on all fours to assume an erect posture.
KM Do you think it possible to concentrate mainly on defence with the idea that we should be less afraid of attack and therefore able to stand up for ourselves without preparing to bomb other people?
WC I cannot subscribe to the idea that it might be possible to dig ourselves in and make no preparations for anything other than passive defence. It is the theory of the turtle, disproved at every Lord Mayor's Banquet. If the enemy can attack as and when he pleases without fear of reprisals, we should become the whipping-boy of Europe. We need shelters and tunnels, but crouching in a tunnel is not a fighting posture. Quite apart from the fact that we could never defend our dependencies on such lines, we should be exposed to inevitable defeat. Every nation of the world would have an incentive to have a free cut at the melon. War is horrible, but slavery is worse, and you may be sure that the British people would rather go down fighting than live in servitude.
29 January 1965: The Great Outsider
Unsigned editorial
The week Churchill died, the NS ran a front-page editorial in which it praised "the greatest man of action of his age". Not everyone agreed. "I read your front-page article on Churchill with my now accustomed regret," one reader wrote in a letter. "I have taken the New Statesman for some 35 years and I am still astonished that a team of intelligent people can be so out of touch with ordinary human beings . . . whenever you touch human grandeur, be it Churchill or de Gaulle, it crumbles into grit between your fingers."
Winston Churchill's formal education was a failure; he left school ignorant and unawakened. To his grief, his brilliant father largely ignored him and declined any course of instruction in politics. Thus, though born to a great historical tradition of public service, he was largely self-taught and self-formed, a process he accomplished as a lonely subaltern on the frontiers of empire. It is not surprising, therefore, that he never developed a coherent political philosophy, and in several respects his approach to politics was unsophisticated, even immature.
This led him into many errors and mis-judgments. Though a good House of Commons man, he could not adapt himself to the party system. His lighthearted change of party and his brash approach to the problem of coercing Ulster laid the foundations for the deep distrust in which he was held, through most of his life, by orthodox Tories. He allowed himself to be out-manoeuvred over Gallipoli, the one stroke of strategic genius which could have shortened the war; instead, the incident confirmed his reputation for folly. Free trade made him join the Liberals. But he despised their anaemic Nonconformity and they, in turn, feared his belligerent view of life. At the same time, his unthinking imperialism, his eager acceptance of the class-war (as during the General Strike), his taste for direct action and his failure to comprehend the basic aspirations of British socialism made him anathema to the Labour Party for many years. There were deeper shortcomings. Most of the mass-movements of his time left him unmoved and uncomprehending. He tried to stifle communism at birth and was puzzled by its resilience – until it presented itself to him in the person of Stalin, a conventional power-figure he could understand.
But his unawareness of system and cyclical change gave him great strength as an empiricist. In moments of crisis he was unburdened by preconceptions or rigid beliefs. This made him the greatest man of action of his age. He saw 1914 not as the end of an epoch, but as a moment when the Fleet ought to be ready and at sea. Unlike the appeasers, he regarded Hitler not as a complex phenomenon to be placed in an elaborate historical context, but simply as a menace to civilisation – and he reacted accordingly. He was the first to scrap the ideological barriers when the Nazis invaded Russia, the first in the West to restore them – at Fulton in 1946 – when Hitlerism had been destroyed. He offered union with France in 1940 as a straightforward alternative to imminent defeat; but turned his back on Europe in 1951, when the opportunity to create a rationalised structure presented itself. He was a great internationalist: but mainly in the interests of national self-survival. He was thus able to prolong Britain's existence as a leading power by an entire generation – perhaps two – and to preserve the freedom of countless millions to propagate political and social ideas he detested.
Many more sober statesmen saw his immense appetite for unregarding action as dangerous. This was to misunderstand the man. Churchill was rash, but incapable of using power evilly. For a politician he had exceptional magnanimity, his flashes of anger yielding swiftly to the lure of comradeship. He loved battle but detested persecution. Underlying these characteristics was the one salient principle of his life: his passionate regard for British parliamentary democracy. This may seem paradoxical in a man who was an aristocrat by birth and an outsider by temperament. Churchill, indeed, was not a skilful electioneer and frequently found himself rejected. But this never dimmed his conviction that the British people, as a whole, formed a mature and wise corporation, who could be trusted to exercise their constitutional rights responsibly. He saw it as his duty and function to use his matchless courage, oratory and powers of leadership to extract from our people the best they had to give. By a grandiose accident of history, he was privileged to discharge that role in full measure.
29 January 1965: "What panache! What guts!"
By Hugh Dalton
A Labour colleague in Churchill's wartime cabinet remembers how he fell under the prime minister's spell.
It is finished. "Now," as was said of Lincoln, "he belongs to the ages." I offer here no profound appreciation nor compressed life story of Winston Churchill, but only some personal memories and judgements. I served with him in the House of Commons for close on 30 years; and in his War Coalition, as a minister of cabinet rank, for more than five years; for two years as Minister of Economic Warfare and "Special Operations" – "Minister of Ungentlemanly Warfare", he used to call me – then for three years as President of the Board of Trade. But for more than 50 years he fascinated me by his personality and style.
At Cambridge, from 1906 to 1910, I was a Fabian socialist while he was a Liberal minister. Obviously he was much more interesting to us young men than most old cabinet ministers. Stories about him circulated among us. Some reached me through Rupert Brooke from Eddie Marsh, who
accompanied him, as private secretary, on an East African tour. A colonial governor spoke of the regrettable spread of venereal disease among the natives. "Ah," said Winston, "Pox Britannica!" And late one night, on this same trip, reflecting on the wide disparities of fortune, not least between these Africans and the Europeans: "I don't think much of God," said Winston; "he hasn't put enough in the pool."
I first met him in October 1908 at dinner with the Webbs. He was President of the Board of Trade, and they had just persuaded him to set up labour exchanges. Now they wanted to sell him the staff to run them. Beveridge was there, of course, and some younger people. That night Winston talked much, diffusely and overpoweringly, and listened little. But he engaged Beveridge, as the Webbs had planned.
Churchill put himself wrong with the Labour Party on many issues and occasions: at Tonypandy in 1910 when he used troops against miners on strike; in his return to the gold standard in 1925, though [Philip] Snowden agreed with him on this; in the General Strike in 1926, when he gaily abandoned the Treasury in order to edit the British Gazette; in his persistent military intervention in Russia in 1919 and 1920 against what he called "the foul baboonery of Bolshevism"; in his rebellious resistance in the early Thirties to even the slow and cautious advances of a Tory cabinet towards Indian self-government. But, as the Thirties wore on, many of us, especially the British rearmers in the Labour Party, felt ourselves drawing nearer to him.
I was in touch with him and other Tory dissenters around the time of Munich. For a moment a big Tory breakaway from Chamberlain seemed possible. This dream soon faded then. In May 1940 it came true.
From 1940 to 1945 we Labour ministers worked with him, on the whole, well, but watchfully. He had a double nature. Bevin once said to me: "One day he's a great national leader; next day he's just a Tory political crook." I was never intimate with him. But he gave me good support while I was one of his ministers, and we had no serious quarrel. Often, in cabinet conflicts, he took my side, sometimes most decisively. But I was sometimes discontented because I could not gain his full interest in projects which I thought important.
In May 1940, when I first joined his government, I fell completely under his spell. What panache! What guts! In those tense days I would have followed him anywhere. We had no other leader, no other saviour. "I felt," he said when he became Prime Minister, "as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial."
On the political side of the war Churchill had prejudices, not always helpful. Thus he was too fond of kings, in Italy, Greece and Yugoslavia; just as, some think, he stuck too long to our own Edward VIII and leaned too far, as a historian, towards Charles and away from Cromwell. In home politics in 1943-5 he aimed at preventing disruptive disputes within his government. On 28 May 1945, after the Coalition government had broken up, he was At Home at No 10 Downing Street to those who had served in it. Standing behind the familiar green baize cabinet table, now draped as a buffet, he addressed us with tears streaming down his cheeks. He said that we had all come together and had stayed together as a united band of friends in a very trying time. History would recognise this. "The light of history will shine on all your helmets."
In his last years he frequented the House of Commons, but more and more as a ghost. He walked along the corridors with a severe arthritic limp. He had determined never to try to speak in the House again. He seldom smiled. He missed his dead or stricken friends, Cherwell or Eden. He now wished to die. A conservative who had been a close cabinet colleague told me that he had tried in vain, dining alone with him in recent years, to arouse his interest or to give him pleasure. But "I am hoping," he had said, "that I shall be sent for soon."

Mini creator alec issigonis talks about his creation
Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis, (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Αρνόλδος Κωνσταντίνος Ισηγόνης Alexandros Arnoldos Konstantinos Isigonis; 18 November 1906 – 2 October 1988) was a British-Greek designer of cars, widely noted for the groundbreaking and influential development of the Mini, launched by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1959.
Death and commemorations
Some of his cars
Issigonis was born in 1906 into the Greek cosmopolitan community of the Ottoman port Smyrna (now İzmir, Turkey) in Asia Minor. The son of Greek and German parents, he inherited British citizenship via his father and developed very "English" attitudes. His grandfather Demosthenis migrated to Smyrna from Paros in Greece in the 1830s and through the work he did for the British-built Smyrna-Aydın Railway managed to acquire British nationality. Demosthenis's son (Alec's father) Constantine Issigonis (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Ισηγόνης), was born, with British nationality, in Smyrna in 1872. Constantine studied in England. Alec's mother, Hulda Prokopp, could trace her origins back to Württemberg (now part of Germany). It was through his mother's kinships that Issigonis was a first cousin once removed to BMW (and more briefly Volkswagen) director Bernd Pischetsrieder.
Because Alec and his parents were British subjects, they were evacuated to Malta by British Royal Marines in September 1922, ahead of the Great Fire of Smyrna and the Turkish capture of Smyrna at the end of the Greco-Turkish War. Following the death of his father in 1922, Alec and his mother moved to the UK in 1923. Alec studied engineering at Battersea Polytechnic in London. He failed his mathematics exams three times and subsequently called pure mathematics 'the enemy of every creative genius'. After Battersea Polytechnic, Alec decided to enter the University of London External Programme to complete his university education.
Issigonis went into the motor industry as an engineer and designer working for Humber and competed successfully in motor racing during the 1930s and 1940s. Starting around 1930, he raced a supercharged "Ulster" Austin Seven, later fitting it with a front axle of his own design, leading to employment at Austin. This greatly modified machine was replaced with a radical special completed in 1939, constructed of plywood laminated in aluminium sheeting. The suspension was also of advanced design, with trailing arm front suspension attached to a steel cross-member, and swing axle rear, all with rubber springs made of catapult elastic. This car was remarkably light, weighing 587 lb, of which the engine contributed 252 lb. By the time the chassis had been completed (hard labour—it was all done by hand, no power tools), Issigonis had moved to Morris Motors Limited, but Austin supplied a "works" specification supercharged side-valve engine. Issigonis usually won, even when entered in the 1100cc class if there was no 750cc category. Most events entered were sprints, but he also raced at circuits.
In 1936, he moved to Morris Motors Limited at Cowley working on an independent front suspension system for the Morris 10. The war prevented this design from going into production but it was later used on the MG Y-type. He worked on various projects for Morris through the war and towards its end started work on an advanced post war car codenamed Mosquito that became the Morris Minor, which was produced from 1948 until 1971. In 1952, just as BMC was formed by the merger of Morris and Austin, he moved to Alvis Cars where he designed an advanced saloon with all-aluminium V-8 engine, and experimented with interconnected independent suspension systems. This prototype was never manufactured because its cost was beyond Alvis's resources.
At the end of 1955, Issigonis was recruited back into BMC, this time into the Austin plant at Longbridge, by its chairman Sir Leonard Lord, to design a new model family of three cars. The XC (experimental car) code names assigned for the new cars were XC/9001, for a large comfortable car, XC/9002, for a medium-sized family car, and XC/9003, for a small town car. During 1956 Issigonis concentrated on the larger two cars, producing several prototypes for testing.
However, at the end of 1956, following fuel rationing brought about by the Suez Crisis, Issigonis was ordered by Lord to bring the smaller car, XC/9003, to production as quickly as possible. By early 1957, prototypes were running, and by mid-1957 the project was given an official drawing office project number (ADO15) so that the thousands of drawings required for production could be produced. In August 1959 the car was launched as the Morris Mini Minor and the Austin Seven, which soon became known as the Austin Mini. In later years, the car would become known simply as the Mini. Due to time pressures, the interconnected suspension system that Issigonis had planned for the car was replaced by an equally novel, but cruder, rubber cone system designed by Alex Moulton. The Mini went on to become the best selling British car in history with a production run of 5.3 million cars. This ground-breaking design, with its front wheel drive, transverse engine, sump gearbox, 10-inch wheels, and phenomenal space efficiency, was still being manufactured in 2000 and has been the inspiration for almost all small front-wheel drive cars produced since the early 1960s.
In 1961, with the Mini gaining popularity, Issigonis was promoted to Technical Director of BMC. He continued to be responsible for his original XC projects. XC/9002 became ADO16 and was launched as the Morris 1100 with the Hydrolastic interconnected suspension system in August 1962. XC/9001 became ADO17 and was launched, also with the Hydrolastic suspension system, as the Austin 1800 in October 1964.The same principle was carried over for his next production car the Austin Maxi, However, by then he had become more aware of the cost considerations of vehicle manufacture and in service warranty costs which were crippling BMC. It certainly appeared by the Maxi development era that Issigonis wanted to "do his own thing" as cost cutting and development costs spiraled. He would instead research work on his Mini replacement the 9X with its compact transverse engine. With the creation of British Leyland in 1969, new chairman Lord Stokes quickly sidelined Issigonis and made him into what was termed "Special Developments Director", replacing him with Harry Webster as the new Technical Director (Small/Medium cars). Stokes was heard on his appointment to say: "We'll sharp sort this bloke Issigonis out!".
Issigonis was nicknamed "the Greek god" by his contemporaries. Whilst he is most famous for his creation of the Mini, he was most proud of his participation in the design of the Morris Minor. He considered it to be a vehicle that combined many of the luxuries and conveniences of a good motor car with a price suitable for the working classes – in contrast to the Mini which was a spartan mode of conveyance with everything cut to the bone. Interestingly Issigonis often commented to friends and colleagues that the Austin 1800 (ADO17) was the design he was most proud of, even though it never was as commercially successful as his three preceding designs.
Sir Alec officially retired from the motor industry in 1971, although he continued working until shortly before his death.
He died in 1988 at his house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, and was cremated at the Lodge Hill Crematorium in nearby Selly Oak.
On 15 October 2006 a rally was held at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, England, to celebrate the centenary of Sir Alec's birth.
There is a road named "Alec Issigonis Way" in Oxford Business Park on the former site of the Morris Motors factory in Cowley, Oxford.
In the 1964 Queen's Birthday Honours, Issigonis was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his role as Technical Director of the British Motor Corporation. In the 1969 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Knight Bachelor in recognition of his role as Technical Director of British Leyland Motor Corporation Ltd, and therefore granted the title sir. On 22 July 1969, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
In 1964, Issigonis was appointed a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1967.

On 27th March the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) released the 2017 Vienna Migration Conference report. The Vienna Migration Conference (VMC) is ICMPD's flagship event to discuss critical migration issues and to drive policy development across Member States. The 2017 VMC was held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on 23–24 October. The publication summarises discussions, findings and conclusions presented at the VMC, and outlines a couple of recommendations to strengthen migration partnerships as frameworks for "safe, orderly and regular migration".
The VMC invited participants to focus on sustainable migration partnerships, operational cooperation and crisis management. To open proceedings, ICMPD Director General Michael Spindelegger presented five migration partnership priorities based on ICMPD's long-standing experience in the migration field. "We believe that migration partnerships have to go beyond the margins set by migration policy. Private sector investment and know-how will be crucial factors in making a real difference. They will bring new opportunities for economic cooperation and development," the Director General said.
First held in 2016, the VMC has become the leading forum to tackle migration challenges. The 2017 VMC gathered more than 300 participants. It drew together ministers, state and deputy state secretaries, and high-level representatives from Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Nigeria, the EU Commission, the European External Action Service and the European Investment Bank. "The discussions at the Vienna Migration Conference set the priorities for further developing policy proposals with our Member States and all our friends and partners," the Director General said.
The next VMC will coincide with ICMPD's 25th anniversary. The conference will encourage participants to evaluate the past 25 years of migration challenges and policy development, and to look 25 years into the future of global cooperation on migration.
"The Vienna Migration Conference addresses a need for all who work in the field of migration to come together to develop migration partnerships. Accordingly, interest in the conference continues to increase. The 2018 VMC will be informed by our analysis of ICMPD's contributions to migration policy since 1993. We invite Member States, international agencies and private sector representatives to join with us to promote sustainable, fair and holistic migration policies," the Director General said.
The International Centre for Migration Policy Development is a key player in the migration field. The organisation has 15 Member States and carries out activities throughout the world, including Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. The Vienna-based organisation has a mission in Brussels and duty stations in another 18 countries. Founded in 1993, ICMPD serves as a support mechanism for informal consultations and provides expertise in multilateral cooperation on migration issues. The principles of partnership and balancing of interests are the foundation of the organisation.

Some regular visitors to the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum head straight to a particular painting. Austria subsidizes yearly passes for museum visitors, so many–some say a majority- of Viennese would not think of being without a yearly ticket and popping in to visit favorite works of art on their daily rounds. A particular favorite is "Hunters in the Snow," painted in 1565 by Pieter Breugel the Elder. Some people consider it the most beautiful and intriguing painting in the world. It doesn't draw the crowds of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, but there are always a few admirers standing before this painting, transfixed.
Last time I visited the Kunsthistorisches, I lingered in the glorious roomful of Breugels. A woman was absorbed in painting a perfect copy "Hunters in the Snow". I envied her: she was spending untold hours lost in the vision of a great artist who captured a winter day almost 500 years ago.
Breugel was a Flemish artist, but this is not a landscape from the Low Countries. He was known to have traveled to Italy, and he very likely passed through the Austrian Alps on his way. This is definitely an alpine landscape, which would have seemed exotic and particularly beautiful to the folks back home.
I spent awhile looking over this artist's shoulder. What better way to spend a winter afternoon than in the company of Pieter Breugel the Elder, gazing at a landscape that he brought home as a perfect memory of his travels?
I am home from my own travels, back in the mountains of Colorado, having my own perfect winter days playing in the 16 feet of snow we have received so far this winter. But I can imagine a different kind of winter's day, spent sharing brushstrokes with a great artist. What painting would I choose? What kind of permission would I need? Could I fit my paints and brushes into my carryon? It's another travel dream.

Michael Korn came up with the idea for portable, retractable screen dividers after observing the problems that medical staff and patients face in hospitals. His research uncovered a need for more side room capacity, providing extra private and segregated spaces. Using a new glass fibre composite, Michael developed portable, retractable partitions that can swiftly turn any open-plan ward into smaller, more discreet and isolated spaces.
KwickScreens can also be printed with views of nature or artistic patterns. It was this difference from traditional hospital curtains that helped provide early success. A new breastfeeding mother appreciated being alone with her baby surrounded by calming colours. A grieving family was able to spend the last few days with their loved one in a secluded environment.
The KwickScreen enabled a patient space to be swiftly created anywhere. It could also act as an isolation room for immunosuppressed or infectious patients who might otherwise be in an open ward at risk of contracting or spreading healthcare acquired infections.
Michael founded KwickScreen in 2008. By 2020, over 100 NHS Trusts were using his partitions in critical care units, theatres, recovery wards and maternity units. The hygienic and easy-to-clean screens really came into their own during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, KwickScreens have been supporting the NHS and it was partly for this reason that Michael joined the SME Leaders programme in 2021.
Michael says "I need to make sure that I grow, in order to stay ahead of the company's rapid expansion! I believe the programme will help establish valuable external connections and potential partnerships.

Court: Judge Must Consider PTSD In Palestinian Activist Case
WGVU News | By Mariano Avila
www.fightbacknews.org
West Michigan supporters for Palestinian-American activist RasmeaOdeh are celebrating what they call a partial victory after a federal appeals court ruling last week.
The ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says that a lower court judge must reconsider his decision to block testimony by an expert in post-traumatic stress disorder in the case of RasmeaOdeh.
"We were in the midst of planning a protest in case her appeal didn't' go through. But this morning we found out that there was a positive decision and a partial victory for her."
That's Tom Burke, who has been organizing in West Michigan to support Odeh. Like Odeh, Burke was one of 23 activists, dubbed the Anti-War 23, indicted in Northern Illinois. Odeh's original conviction stated that she lied to obtain citizenship.
"Our argument is: she answered questions truthfully and honestly given that she suffers PTSD from being tortured. So, when she answered immigration questions about being arrested, she was in a state of mind that that was a reference to the United States."
An Israeli military court convicted Odeh of participating in bombings in Jerusalem. But her defense's argument is that that conviction was obtained after weeks of torture including rape.

Closing the pet shop loophole
UPDATE (3/4/19) – San Luis Obispo County Animal Services says it has received documentation regarding Bark Adoption's 501 C-3 status as it required from Animal Kingdom.
However, it's expected to take a few days to fully vet all of those documents, meaning Animal Services isn't taking any action against Animal Kingdom at this time.
Animal Kingdom, which has stores in Pismo Beach, Grover Beach and Santa Maria, was asked to provide documentation showing that it's working with a legitimate non-profit rescue or shelter.
Under a new California law, pet stores that can't provide that proof could be fined $500 per dog.
In January, KSBY reported on a new California law that allows pet stores to sell cats, dogs, and rabbits only if they're from a rescue organization or shelter.
Since then, we've received complaints from viewers who say several local pet shops are still selling purebred puppies for thousands of dollars.
Animal Kingdom, which operates in Santa Maria, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach, sells a variety of animals including dogs. San Luis Obispo County Animal Services says the business caught their attention during a recent annual inspection.
"We do require every pet store to annually resubmit an application and that involves an inspection and evaluation of the facility," said Dr. Eric Anderson, San Luis Obispo County Animal Services Manager.
Dr. Anderson says Animal Kingdom has been given a deadline of March 1 to prove their dogs come from a legitimate rescue or shelter. If they are not able to provide proof, they could face fines of $500 per dog.
According to pet dealer disclosure documents obtained by KSBY News, some of the puppies come from an organization called Bark Adoptions in Menifee, California.
Bark Adoptions registered as a domestic non-profit in California in November 2018, but it has not received 501 C-3 status with the IRS.
The state franchise tax board confirmed Bark Adoptions is not currently tax exempt in California. San Luis Obispo County officials say that means Animal Kingdom may have been in violation of the law for nearly two months.
Over the course of several weeks, KSBY News has made several attempts to call and visit the owner of Animal Kingdom.
After leaving several messages, we still have not heard back.
Veterinary inspection forms from Iowa's Department of Agriculture show some of the purebred dogs that go through Bark Adoptions come from a group called Rescue Pets Iowa.
If those documents are accurate, that means dogs are traveling at least 2,000 miles from Ottumwa, Iowa, to Menifee, California, eventually ending up in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
"Why are they doing this? These rescues were formed to circumvent these laws. Whether it's on a municipal ordinance or state law, that's why these were formed," said Deborah Howard, president of the Companion Animal Protection Society.
Howard says dozens of pet stores across California get their dogs from Bark Adoptions and at least two other businesses.
"Already, Animal Friends of the Valley in Riverside County has issued 60 citations to the pet shops, which is mostly in Temecula," Howard added.
Experts are calling the shelters a 'loophole' in the new law.
"Commercial operations, which are working with puppy mills and this factory breeding industry, have the potential of filling documentation and getting themselves registered as a non-profit organization. Then, that organization essentially becomes a pass-through, shell non-profit," Dr. Anderson said.
It's something Howard is determined to change.
"The next step is we're going to call on the legislature to amend this law. There was a loophole in the law that allowed these rescues to form," Howard added.

OnlyFans suspends plan to ban sexually explicit content after outcry
Photo: Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images
OnlyFans, an online creator platform known for its adult content, announced via Twitter Wednesday that it has dropped plans to ban sexually explicit content on its platform in October.
Why it matters: The move comes after the proposed ban sparked an outcry from sex workers who relied on the platform to safely make a living.
What they're saying: "Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard," the platform tweeted. "We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change."
"OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators."
The big picture: OnlyFans announced the proposed ban on sexually explicit content last week.
The company has struggled to attract outside investors, and the move was done at the request of its banking and payout partners, it said.
The move concerned many sex workers who had made long-term financial commitments, including mortgages, based on the presumption that they'd continue posting on the platform.

A: I had the same problem but they have a solution on Metalink (if you not already seen it). This will fix the problem:

     try {
       oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext.STAGE stage =   ((oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext)context).getStage();
       if (stage  == IMessageContext.STAGE.request)  {

          javax.security.auth.Subject subject = oracle.security.jps.util.SubjectUtil.getAnonymousSubject();
          context.setProperty(oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext.SECURITY_SUBJECT, subject);
          IAssertionBindings bindings = ((SimpleAssertion)(this.assertion)).getBindings();
          IConfig config = bindings.getConfigs().get(0);
          IPropertySet propertyset = config.getPropertySets().get(0);
          String valid_ips = propertyset.getPropertyByName("valid_ips").getValue();
          String ipAddr = ((IMessageContext)context).getRemoteAddr();

          if (valid_ips != null && valid_ips.trim().length() > 0) {
             String[] valid_ips_array = valid_ips.split(",");
             boolean isPresent = false;
             for (String valid_ip : valid_ips_array) {
               if (ipAddr.equals(valid_ip.trim())) {
                     isPresent = true;
               }
             }
             if (isPresent) {
                result.setStatus(IResult.SUCCEEDED);
             } else {
                result.setStatus(IResult.FAILED);
                result.setFault(new WSMException(WSMException.FAULT_FAILED_CHECK));
             }
          } else {
              result.setStatus(IResult.SUCCEEDED);
          }
          return result;
       }
     } catch (Exception e) {
       throw new WSMException(WSMException.FAULT_FAILED_CHECK, e);
     }
     return result;
}

A:         result.setFault(null);

where you are setting status to success.  It uses the fault value regardless of the setting of the status.

A: I've met the same issue. Looking deeper in the wls classes i've found that WSMMessageContext does not contain right principal in the Subject. and in fact IllegalArgumentExeception is thrown, unfortunately this real exception is wrapped wrapped and wrapped a lot of times and we may see "GenericFault : generic error" that is the last wrapped in WSMAgentHook class that performs output in console. Unfortunately I could not move forward there and seems nobody use Custom Security Assert. So nobody may help us seems
