Is it possible to make a living at it (or part of a living) as a white-hat?
1. If you work for an anti-virus company you will have to analyse viruses to see how they work. Part of this is done through disassembly / debugging.
2. If you sell anti-cracking software you will have to crack other's people protections to keep current (not very white-hat, but this is how this works).
3. You can find out exploits for windows comparing and reversing an unpatched DLL with the patched one. This is a legitimate work and there is some people who do this for money.
I see you only mention W32DASM, but IDA is really much better, nothing to be with w32dasm. There is a free version of IDA for download at their website. The only diff with the commercial version is that the later has a built-in debugger, but you can use Olly instead.
You may wish to Google for Ollydbg and IDA Pro free version. Of the two I would go with Ollydbg.
PE format: Become familiar with what it is as it will help you understand a Microsoft executable that much better, and also just how code gets mapped from physical memory to RAM.
ELF format: This is the format of Linux/BSD executables and will do the same as the above for you in terms of knowledge.
Programming knowledge: It is important to understand C, C++ and Assembler at a high level if nothing else. You don't necessarily have to be a full-fledged programmer to reverse but it certainly is helpful.
One of the simplest ways to start out is to code your "Hello World" program and then to disassemble it. That is a good and simple starting point.
The two above file formats are important to understand as it will also be most beneficial when you are looking at malware. Lastly, I will have an article series on reverse engineering for beginners going up on WindowSecurity soon. Keep an eye out for it.


Earlier in the NBA season, there has been a lot of controversy about players wearing supreme shooting sleeves and supreme leggings. Players like Kelly Oubre Jr. and JR Smith, have worn Supreme apparel while playing on the court. Oubre has been known to sport a red leg sleeve, and JR with a black shooting sleeve. Since then, the NBA has strictly prohibited players from wearing Supreme gear. This new rule might not affect the way the game of Basketball is played, but it will affect the social and cultural aspects of the sport. Though the NBA has banned the Supreme sleeve, it is unfair to the players, and the culture.
The argument against the sleeve is that it is against NBA rules to wear a brand or logo on any article of clothing except for shoes. Unlike Nascar Drivers, NBA players are not allowed to endorse any brand they are affiliated with on their jersey, shorts, headbands, or shooting sleeves. Shoe's are the only exception since many players have their own signature shoe. It should have been common knowledge to Kelly that he can't endorse brands during any game appearance.
The counter argument to this, is that the sleeve had both the Supreme logo and the Nike logo. As stated by Kelly "It had an NBA logo on it. It has a Nike sign on it. NBA is sponsored by Nike. It's just Supreme, you know." If it is sponsored by the NBA, it is understandable that Oubre would believe that he could use it in game. A good example of this is the famous Headband controversy in the There is a clear misunderstanding in the design and execution of the Supreme sleeve. Somebody in the Supreme organization, the Nike organization, or the NBA, cleary did not communicate when creating the sleeve. Therefore Oubre should not take the blame for wearing the Supreme shooting sleeve.
Most players seem to support Oubre. Even turner of the Portland Trailblazers said "I thought it was dope! I thought it was hella dope man. That was ill, to tell you the truth. Right now the collabs that Supreme is doing, I just think it's dope, whether they do it with North Face or Everlast or something." It seems that most players don't have a problem with the Supreme Shooting sleeve. So why should the NBA be concerned about it? If it doesn't bother anybody in the game or affect the way that the game is played, then why is there a problem?
It is also Common knowledge that the NBA has been known to create odd uniform rules. In the mid to late 90's the NBA entered the era of baggy shorts. This was mostly made famous by players like Scottie Pippin, and Allen Iverson. However, in 1997, the NBA banned baggy shorts from the NBA. Players were not allowed to wear pants that went 1 inch below the knee. The NBA has a history of not liking trending fashion styles and uniform "swag". The NBA wants to maintain a clean-cut look. Hence the controversial fashion icon, Allen Iverson. Iverson is known to have brought "swag" to the NBA, but was frequently met with disputes between him and the league.
I believe that nobody should wear anything that is not specifically identified as appropriate NBA dress in the NBA uniform rules. However, I believe that Oubre and JR are not at fault for wearing Supreme gear. The Sleeve had the NBA logo on it so it is understandable for them to believe that they can wear it. I don't believe that the Supreme shooting sleeve should be allowed in the NBA or any professional sports league.

Thank you for post your thoughts on the apparel of NBA clothing and how it can have a affect on the social aspect of the game. A simple sleeve started so much controversy in the NBA. Do you think that is over doing the situation? Personally, I agree with Evan Turner thinking it was cool and very interesting to see that. With the Nike and NBA logo present on the sleeve. I thought that it should be allowed, but it is not. Everything in today is money making and the Supreme logo is not affiliated with the NBA. The NBA doesn't want anything advertised that they are not affiliated with. The Supreme sleeve is used as a fashion statement showing off there sense of fashion but do to the rules they are not allowed to use it in an actually game. Do you think supreme will ever make it present in the NBA as a logo?

In our Foster Care programs, we support this belief by maintaining foster homes that provide loving care, interest, understanding and stimulation for each child in their home in order to best support their growth and development.
Foster homes are needed for infants and toddlers.
We provide training, individualized and group support, baby supplies, accessible medical consultation and care.
Specialized Foster Homes are needed for our precious infants and toddlers who have medical conditions requiring "extra care" from a caregiver who is home full time.

The Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse was literally right across the street from our hotel. We got up for day three of our trip, went downstairs, got a bite to eat from the continental breakfast, and headed across the street.
As you can see in the picture, it was a cold and foggy morning. I really love the Mackinac Bridge in the background of this shot. It is one of my favorites from the trip. Nestled on the Straits of Mackinac, this 50' tower was built in 1892. We only spent fifteen or twenty minutes at this particular lighthouse. I set up and took some pictures of the bridge as well as the surrounding grounds.
We had one more lighthouse to visit before we crossed the bridge to "The Upper Peninsula". It was only a short drive, and it was worth it. McGulpin Point, here we come.

A Graphic Novel Adaptation
Kahlil Gibran, Script by A. David Lewis, and art by Justin Rentería
$21.95 Paperback Edition
coming soon Email Me When Published
6.875" × 10"
2023, coming in June
The sea that calls all things unto her calls me, and I must embark.
One of the best known and most translated works of free-verse poetry ever published in the English language, The Prophet, by Lebanon-born Kahlil Gibran, tells the story of the prophet Almustafa, who was banished from his homeland and who has lived the last twelve years of his life as a refugee among the good people of Orphalese. One day, as he prepares to board the ship that will take him home, Almustafa addresses a gathering of townspeople who have come to see him off. His parting words of wisdom about the human condition reveal him to be a man who sees deeply into the hearts, minds, and souls of his peers.
While remaining faithful to the original text, the script adaptation by A. David Lewis provides backstory details that provide greater insight into the enigmatic main character. And the illustrations by Justin Renteria, inspired by a 1920s Ottoman style, are vibrant, authentic, and skillfully paced. Appearing exactly one hundred years after the original 1923 publication of Gibran's masterpiece, and at a time when entire groups of people are being forced to seek refuge elsewhere, this fresh and visually compelling rendering of The Prophet conveys the original work's bracing and inspirational message about what it means to live well in today's world.
A. David Lewis is an Eisner Award–nominated writer whose graphic novels include an award-winning adaptation of Exodus, entitled The Lone and Level Sands, and his revival of the first Muslim superhero: Kismet, Man of Fate. Lewis is a Boston-based university educator, library curator, and comics studies scholar.
Justin Renteria is an award-winning illustrator. His illustrations have been published in the New Yorker and the Atlantic and as frequent contributions to the New York Times's op-ed pages.

Thanks for the fix! Do you know why this happens?
It could be caused by just about anything. A bug within the application code that causes the application to crash or fail when it is writing to the database, a faulty device driver, etc. SQLite doesn't provide much in diagnosing how occurred or exactly where the corruption resides.
Thanks for posting this. I tried it but it didn't restore the data. I got the db back, but the tables were empty.
Does this fix restore the data?
It allows you to extract any recoverable data. SQLite is lacking in consistency checks and ability to recover without rebuilding the database, which is what this method does.
Thanks a ton! You saved my hobby app!

Drinks are divided into three main categories at this bartender's take on a classic "corner store" in River North: fizzy, boozy and frosty. Order a Purple fizzy beverage, a grape-brandy–based cocktail that tastes like purple even though it may appear clear. For something stiffer, try the Traveler, which is bourbon-based and arrives—true to its name—in a 200-milliliter glass flask. On warmer evenings, grab a frosty Negroñi Colada from the gently swirling machine behind the bar.

If you would like to know the detail, see below, but for the TLDR "Too Long Didn't Read": I have found this heater to be just right for me and is proving to be very economical. The heat is immediate, the unit doesn't make any noise, no odours and I quite like the warm orange glow. It is lightweight, stable, well-constructed and as heavy as it needs to be so it is still portable. The height is easily adjusted by using a screw wheel on the back. No big deal. Also, I had a couple of questions (not problems) and the customer service response by phone was excellent. Don't move the unit when it is on though (it says quite clearly you shouldn't for safety), as it will activate the tilt function, which is what it is supposed to do, and shut the unit down.
My gas fire failed and I had to use a thermostatically controlled, electric oil filled radiator to heat the living room which was turning out to be very expensive. After installing this IR unit and monitoring the Kw/H used, it is turning out to be much more economical and I estimate that I am using approximately 30% less energy than the radiator, so I am quite pleased. I also like the "direct heat"aspect and we actually perceive it as much more cosy. You have to be aware that it is direct heat, it doesn't heat the air and is not an "enveloping" heat, but the room temperature will warm up eventually. It is the direct infrared heat that is heating YOU and all the objects in the room. Positioned at the end of our living room which is 21ft long and about 14ft away from our normal sitting position (room is ~ 190 sq./ft., 21 sq./M in area), I have found that I only need it on level 1 or 2 continually, but normally just on 1. First thing in the morning it is on 4 for a short while. My partner, she likes it a lot warmer than I do, likes it too and doesn't feel cold. Your mileage may vary, as they say, but this suits us.

Men's Basketball's comeback falls short
March 1, 2019 Carlos Silva Basketball, Sports 0
On Tuesday, Feb. 19, the Rams traveled to Bridgewater State to take on the Bears in the MASCAC Quarterfinals.
The first half featured four ties, and there seven lead changes throughout.
A pair of free throws by Tyri Hampton with 4:25 remaining tied the score at 31-31.
The Bears then went on a strong 10-2 run over the next two-and-a-half minutes, capped off by an Admar Jaramillo steal and breakaway layup to give the hosts a 41-33 lead.
Rayshon Ward led all players with 11 first-half points, while Khaneil Bruce paced the Rams with 10.
Cameren McCloud-Thomas and Manny Payton opened the second half with back-to-back layups to cut the Rams' deficit to just two points.
The Bears quickly answered back with a Ryan Carney free throw and a Jaramillo trifecta in transition to push the lead back to six, 45-39.

Meet all your employees one on one. Ask them what they do, what role they would like to be in, and where they see themselves in a year. Ask them how they feel you can work with them best. The purpose of this meeting is to listen to them, not to talk.
Establish weekly group staff meetings.
Meet your manager and your peers one on one to get their views.
From day one, show the team members that you have faith in them all—Chapter 33.
Meet with customers informally and formally—Chapter 31.
Ask everyone to tell you what the problems facing the group are, listen carefully to everyone, and then look at the evidence and make up your own mind.
If you've been hired to reform an underperforming group, postpone major high-risk projects, such as replacing a global email system, until you've reformed/replaced the team.

Corrosion worries evaporate with new electronic PPA grades; bio-based grade also debuts
Solvay Advanced Polymers (Alpharetta, GA) has expanded its range of Amodel polyphthalamide (PPA) resins for automotive electronics applications. New Amodel Electronic (AE) grades reportedly eliminate corrosion issues in high temperature and high humidity conditions for a range of applications including sensors, connectors, electric motors, electronic control unit housings, bobbins, solenoids, and other circuit protection.
"In an age when under-the-hood designs have resulted in hotter, more humid, and more compact spaces, we've developed unique solutions to help our customers meet these very challenging and highly demanding environments," explains Mark Wright, global automotive marketing manager for Solvay Advanced Polymers.
The new AE grades complement Solvay's longstanding Amodel HS (Heat Stabilized) product line which has successfully served the automotive industry for more than 20 years. The AE line has been specially formulated to prevent corrosion issues while still maintaining the high-performance attributes that have made Amodel PPA a leading material solution in electrical/electronics applications. Amodel AE grades eliminate potential shorting out or cross-talk between sensitive electrical contacts.
The AE line includes AE-4133, a high-flow, fast-cycling injection moldable material available in black and natural. The water-moldable material delivers the highest heat distortion temperature (300°C) in the Amodel PPA product line, making it well-suited for surface mount technology (SMT) and laser welding. The new line also offers AE-8133, which offers the highest retention of dielectric properties in the Amodel product line and is available in black. AE-8133 is processed on oil-heated injection molds and is particularly suited for power electronics applications for hybrid vehicles.
Solvay has also introduced Amodel PXM-11229, which is a developmental partially bio-based material that offers up to 5% lower specific gravity and one-third less moisture uptake vs. comparable glass-reinforced standard Amodel grades.
Amodel PPA is one of the industry's most specified materials for automotive under-the-hood applications. For more than 20 years, it has been known for its high flow/fast cycling, high HDT for lead-free soldering, excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption/strong dimensional stability, and impact performance for practical toughness.-[email protected]

2 arrested, 3rd suspect at large in assault, robbery at Yucca Valley motel
By Michael J. Williams | michaelwilliams@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise
After a man with a head wound and bound hands was found early Saturday at a Yucca Valley motel, sheriff's deputies chased and caught two suspects, but a third got away.
Authorities identified the arrestees as Lucas Clinton Mountz, 33, of Cherry Valley, and Erica Fenelle Hull, 37, of Thousand Palms. The third suspect, identified as Christopher Garcia, 41, of Cherry Valley, remained at large Sunday afternoon.
Deputies responded about 3:30 a.m. Saturday to a report of two men running through the parking lot of the Travelodge at 54850 Twentynine Palms Highway and carrying a bag, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said in a news release.
At the motel, the deputies were met by the bound and wounded victim, who said he'd been robbed and beaten.
Deputies located a suspicious vehicle in the area, but it fled at high speed, the release states. It crashed into a fence near Airlane Drive and Katje Way, about a half-mile from the motel. Mountz and Hull tried to run but were caught, officials said, while Garcia had escaped before deputies arrived.
Deputies found the victim's stolen property and other evidence that linked the suspects to the robbery, the release states.
Mountz was arrested on suspicion of robbery and Hull on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime, jail records show.
Sheriff's officials asked anyone with information related to the investigation is to call 760-366-4175, or 888-782-7463 to relay an anonymous tip.

Our lab uses pathogen genomics to investigate the emergence and spread of bacterial infectious diseases, with a specific interest in antibiotic-resistant pathogens that are frequent causes of healthcare-associated infections. To accomplish this, we use a variety of tools including epidemiology, bioinformatics, computational biology, population genomics, and phylogenetics. Our goal is to understand the factors that contribute to pathogen success and to develop new genomic epidemiological methods to detect, monitor, and combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.
Primary pathogens of interest include Streptococcus pneumoniae, a leading cause of infections in children and adults, as well as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a prevalent cause of both community and healthcare-associated infections. Other pathogens of interest include Vibrio cholerae, Neisseria meningitidis, and the ESKAPE bacteria that are commonly associated with antimicrobial resistance.

Men grow beards for many reasons: to avoid shaving every day or to look stylish or rugged. But a good beard requires good care otherwise it looks untidy and unkempt. In fact, many men grow a beard but don't know how to look after it. It is important therefore to know some beard care tips before you decide on keeping a beard. Remember that a beard needs looking after or it may cause problems for you!
The skin beneath the beard gets deprived of essential skin care creams and moisturisers that you would normally use on your face. This may cause dryness on the face in winters. In summer, it will seem as if something is covering your face and it will feel hot which will cause irritation. To overcome these conditions, you will have to use a gel or a beard care routine that does not cause dryness of the face.
If not cared for properly, you can get dandruff on your beard. This is not a happy situation and will cause embarrassment. Keep your beard clean and ensure that the skin is well nourished. To get rid of dandruff you may need some medication, so seek the help of a doctor should you suffer from the condition.
Trim your beard regularly to overcome uneven hair growth on your face. This will also help to shape to your beard. You may use natural oils to groom and promote growth. You can also use beard oil, which is available in some stores, which will keep the skin moisturized. Good beard oil will keep the itch away, care for the hair follicles as well as the skin. Its refreshing smell will give you confidence.
Don't let dryness spoil your beard experience! Besides being itchy, dryness will lead to more problems like dandruff and hair breakage. You will have to care for your beard just as you care for your hair, by using a conditioner or using natural oils for nourishing the hair.
Handling acne becomes a problem if you have a beard. You will have to use acne medication and apply to the affected area carefully. Treat the acne gently and avoid the itch as it may cause further complications.
Groom your beard and follow a routine. Get it trimmed often and style it properly. For that handsome look, you must have a good beard care routine of it. Beards may also collect germs and play host to bacteria. Apart from gathering dust as you go outdoors, your beard may also play host to some food particles. This will encourage bacteria. The solution is to wash your beard regularly. Washing and using beard oil will give your beard a well-groomed look. Regular trimming will give it shape and is hygienic.
Keeping a beard, therefore, requires good beard care routine otherwise you will have an unkempt look. A beard attracts germs, so it is most important to clean it well. A beard by itself is not harmful, but you must regularly maintain it. Clean and brush regularly. A number of products are available for the beard: oils, softeners, balms and combs and brushes. For a well-groomed look, use the products most suitable for your beard.

Coronavirus: Children half as likely to catch it, review finds
May 22, 2020 May 22, 2020 adminComment(0)
Children and adolescents are half as likely to catch the coronavirus, the largest review of the evidence shows.
The findings, by UCL and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, will feed into the debate about how schools are reopened.
Children also appear less likely to spread the virus, but the team said there was still uncertainty on this.
The UK government is expected to publish its scientific advice on schools later.
However, only England has announced that some primary children (Reception, Year 1 and Year 6) could return to the classroom, sparking concerns about safety.
It is already clear that children are at far less risk of becoming severely ill or dying from coronavirus.
However, two other key questions have proved harder to answer:
are children less likely to catch the virus?
are children less likely to spread it?
The researchers went through 6,332 studies from around the world – much of it not formally published – to try to get the answers. They identified only 18 with useful data.
These were a mixture of studies that tested how the virus spreads in schools or households through rigorous testing of contacts, as well as studies that test large numbers of people in a population for the virus to see who is carrying it.
The analysis showed children were 56% less likely than an adult to catch the virus when exposed to an infected person.
"Teachers worry about their children and I think it is incredibly reassuring the children they teach are half as susceptible to this virus," said Prof Russell Viner, from University College London and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
However, the reason why is not clear.
There have been discussions about differences in children's lungs that make it harder for them to catch the virus or that they are exposed to more colds that are related to the coronavirus, which might lead to some degree of immunity.
Can children spread coronavirus?
The evidence was less clear-cut about how easily children spread the virus. For example, one study of 31 clusters of infections showed only three (10%) were started by a child. The equivalent figure in influenza is 54%.
However, the researcher said if children were less susceptible to the virus, they are also less likely to be the major source of infections.
Prof Viner added: "This supports the view that children are likely to play a smaller role in transmitting the virus and proliferating the pandemic, although considerable uncertainty remains."
He refused to be drawn directly on the political decision of reopening schools, but said he would be concerned if all the focus was solely on the health impacts to adults "and the harms to children of staying off school were devalued and not playing into the equation".
The advice given by the UK government's scientific advisors, called SAGE, is due to be published later.
However, the rival group called "Independent SAGE" has published its opinion, saying schools should not re-open until there is the ability to track the spread of the virus and test anyone coming into contact with infected people.
It also said the risk to pupils would be halved if reopening was delayed by two weeks as a result of cases reducing further.
Boris Johnson has indicated that 25,000 contact tracers, able to track 10,000 new cases a day, would be in place by 1 June.
Sir David King, who leads the group, said: "It is clear from the evidence we have collected that 1 June is simply too early to go back, by going ahead with this dangerous decision, the government is further risking the health of our communities and the likelihood of a second spike."

Feed cost is the probably the biggest single contributory factor to the overall production cost. Thus, it is vital that producers should maximise nutrient utilisation from available conventional and alternative feed ingredients.
Enzymes have become an integral part of the animal and feed industry as a tool not only to increase utilisation of raw materials but also to decrease feed cost.
However, with the ever increasing number of enzyme preparations in the market today, the question arises: How do we select an enzyme preparation to use?

As a child I discovered how it feels to suffer injustice. That sparked my interest in social justice—instead of reading fiction and fables, I chose to read about oppression, poverty and triumphs over adversity. To this day the desire to change inflexible, impersonal systems defines who I am and what I do. Why accept the status quo when with imagination and grit you can improve it? Why ignore disparities in education, employment, health, housing and the criminal justice system that create and sustain a permanent underclass?
I know what it takes–audacity, creativity, conviction, tenacity and alliances–to replace systems that perpetuate injustice with those that foster opportunity.
I founded Achieving Change Together to share my knowledge and imagination with social change agents whose initiatives promise hope and justice for all.

As we prepared for this site meeting, there was one thing I wanted to know. Would we get to see the underfloor heating?
The answer was no. There was very little to see at all this visit. So little, in fact, that we wondered if anything had changed. Things have been happening in the background. The project manager had questions and updates for us about the electrics and smoke alarms, but the big, visible changes have been delayed.
There was one obvious change: our electricity cables are being connected. Inside, the pipes bringing electricity into the house are connected up. Outside, there is a big pit across the street containing a multitude of pipes and cables, some of which are labelled with our name. I was somewhat relieved to see this. After our last meeting, I had a series of phone calls trying to coordinate the contractor for the electricity grid and our electrician. They were supposed to be meeting on site, but the contractor was so late, that the electrician had already left before he arrived. I was never entirely convinced it had resolved itself, but evidently they sorted it out.
I've spoken to the project manager since our meeting; they have now started the underfloor heating and they are going to wait until after our next meeting before pouring the concrete on top of it. So, we'll get to see it this time.

As a core value of Manitoba Lotteries, sustainable development impacts every business aspect. This includes diverting organic food wastes from casino restaurants to a composting facility.
Recently, Manitoba Lotteries adopted the sustainable principles and guidelines laid out in the Province of Manitoba's Sustainable Development Act. SD is a component of Manitoba Lotteries' commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). SD offers not only environmental benefits, but also potential operational efficiencies and financial savings as well as positive impacts on employees.
Since the early 2000's, Manitoba Lotteries has significantly reduced its building energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by implementing a number of energy use efficiency programs including lighting retrofits, HVAC optimization, utility demand load management and equipment maintenance programs. These activities have provided a significant annual energy cost savings. In addition, Manitoba Lotteries has performed comprehensive reviews for its two casinos, McPhillips Station Casino and Club Regent Casino to identify additional ways to further reduce energy consumption and emissions. Strategies undertaken since 2004 resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in energy consumption.
Manitoba Lotteries measures its carbon footprint on an annual basis. Since 2005, the corporation offset their carbon emissions from facility operations through annual tree planting programs offered through Tree Canada and the Manitoba Forestry Association. Tree seedlings were planted annually in an afforested area where they will grow to maturity. As a result, Manitoba Lotteries is the first Canadian gaming company to be awarded Carbon Neutral Organization status by Tree Canada. Manitoba Lotteries calculates its annual greenhouse gas inventory using The Climate Registry, General Reporting Protocol.
Manitoba Lotteries has initiated a number of waste minimization and recycling programs. Currently Manitoba Lotteries recycles electronics, light bulbs, cardboard, paper, mixed plastic, aluminum, batteries and metal. As well, Manitoba Lotteries collects and diverts the organic food wastes associated with casino restaurants to a local commercial composting facility. In fiscal 2010, Manitoba Lotteries diverted approximately 110 tonnes of food waste (kitchen prep and plate wastes) to a composting facility.
In fiscal 2010, Manitoba Lotteries also diverted almost 40 tonnes of electronics to a recycling facility. The facility recovers 99% of the material for reuse, including aluminum, copper, mercury, plastic, lead, stainless steel and mixed metals. Some materials are re-purposed rather than recycled, and donated or auctioned where feasible.
Following a comprehensive review for its two casinos, all washroom fixtures were replaced with new high efficient models. Quarterly monitoring of casino water consumption shows that this program has resulted in a 40% reduction in water use. The estimated reduction in water/sewer resulted in significant cost savings.
Manitoba Lotteries researches the environmental and social issues associated with the numerous goods and services they buy and sustainable specifications are included in all tender documents. A Sustainable Procurement Handbook has been created to support their purchasing requirements.
Manitoba Lotteries operates 10 hybrid vehicles in its fleet of approximately 65 vehicles. They continually explore the use of alternative vehicles and alternative fuels, and select cost-effective vehicles that meet their needs and help the environment.
Manitoba Lotteries participates in a Winnipeg Transit program that encourages bus ridership to employees, via discounted bus passes. The organization also supports Earth Week and participates in the Commuter Challenge to foster alternative transportation use by employees.
Manitoba Lotteries is making local and Aboriginal businesses aware of bid opportunities and providing interested stakeholders information on their procurement processes to help support the community and drive the local economy.
Manitoba Lotteries also provides extensive information to its employees of the importance of sustainable practices. Sustainable working groups made up of employees across a number of different departments. The corporation also provides support to external sustainable initiatives such as writing green procurement articles for the Manitoba Institute of Purchasing Management Association of Canada quarterly newsletter (The Pulse) and working with the Provincial Procurement Services Branch to develop a web based green procurement information website for use by all Manitoba government purchasers.
Manitoba Lotteries supports Green Building and LEED education to key staff within the corporation to ensure requirements set out in the Green Building Policy can be supported.
Manitoba Lotteries has achieved BOMA BEST Certification (Building Owners and Managers Association of Manitoba – Building Environmental Standards) for Club Regent Casino and McPhillips Station Casino.
Overall, Manitoba Lotteries takes a strategic approach to sustainable development, embedding SD concepts into how they approach all aspects of their business. This is most effectively and efficiently carried out by incorporating sustainable requirements into existing financial processes, thereby ensuring that SD is not a "silo" process by leveraging the strength of existing process mechanisms. For those interested in learning more, Manitoba Lotteries has several CSR reports publicly available to inform stakeholders of progress in these and other SD initiatives.
