My Rights & Reporting Options
Sexual & Relationship Violence
Rights & Reporting Options
Southeast Community College values the safety and well-being of its students, employees and visitors. If you have experienced any incidents of potential sexual misconduct, harassment, or violence, whether these occurred on- or off-campus, please know that you have rights, you have options, and that support is available for you. This document is an overview of various policies, procedures, resources, and supports related to sexual and relationship violence.
Printable PDF.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX") prohibits discrimination based on sex*, which includes sexual and relationship violence at any federally funded education program or activity. When the College receives a report of sexual and relationship violence or discrimination, it will respond in a prompt and equitable manner, consider and process every report based on its own facts and circumstances, and prohibit retaliation against anyone for raising complaints or participating in a process related to Title IX.
For information about SCC's Access, Equity & Diversity Office, visit the SCC Diversity Office website.
*The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX's prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to also include discrimination based on gender identity.
Rights and Options of Those Who Report/Disclose
You have the right to report an incident of sexual or relationship violence to the college, law enforcement, or both. You also have the right not to make a report.

SCC has established a confidential/anonymous reporting site – TIPS– for students, employees and visitors to report suspicious or unusual behavior, or other incidents, that occur on any College-owned or College-operated facility or at any College sponsored event or activity, either on or off campus. Confidential reports can be submitted by filing a CCR report.
Responsible Employees
All SCC faculty and staff who have not otherwise been designated as confidential reporting resources (defined below) are "responsible employees." Title IX requires that when a responsible employee learns of sex* discrimination, including sexual or relationship violence, that individual is required to promptly advise the Title IX Administrator, Campus Administration or other appropriate designees. Because of this, please note that, although SCC takes survivor confidentiality very seriously, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed when informing SCC employees who have not otherwise been designated as confidential reporting resources of incidents of sexual or relationship violence.
Agency Contact Information
Whenever SCC's Title IX Administrator or other responsible employee receives a report that a student or employee has been subjected to sexual misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, or intimate partner violence), the College's Title IX Administrator, or other responsible employee, shall immediately provide the alleged victim with contact information for and, if requested, professional assistance in accessing and using campus, local advocacy, counseling, health, and mental health services.

Q: how to get weather feeds for multiple cities in single request using yahoo weather api i am getting weather feeds from yahoo API ,but at a single request i able to get single place only .i want to get multiple cities feeds at a time in single request .
please help me to get multiple cities feeds.

A: Using the web test platform they offer here you can test different YQL queries.
YQL is a SQL-like language and it supports operators like OR and IN.
My test concerning your question was this:
select * from weather.forecast where woeid in (select woeid from geo.places(1) where text in ("nome, ak", "chicago, il", "dallas, tx"))

This brings weather forecast for 3 cities.

Q: Plot colours shade different in histplot and violinplot in Seaborn When I am plotting histogram and violin plots in the Seaborn library, I seem to be getting different colour shades (lighter shades in the histogram), even though I have set the same palette. I am trying to get the histogram colours to match that of the violin plot, and I cannot seem to figure it out. I have messed around with the different palette settings to no avail. Example output of below code
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

sns.set_theme(style="ticks")

fig,ax = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(14, 6), dpi=100)

penguins = sns.load_dataset("penguins")

sns.histplot(penguins, x="flipper_length_mm", hue="species", multiple="stack", ax = ax[0], palette="tab10")
sns.violinplot(x="species",y="flipper_length_mm", data=penguins,  ax = ax[1], palette="tab10")


It was an auspicious start to the new year for 10 Lehman students who received awards from the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship program and the Chancellor's Global Scholarship to study abroad in 2019.
During a small reception held in honor of the award recipients, President José Luis Cruz and Provost Peter O. Nwosu chatted with the group. Many of the students had just returned from their trips and spoke excitedly about their experiences—from the application process to the thrill of being in a new country and communicating in a different language.
Villa 25 is a hostel located in the Largo do Machado neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its proximity to stores, restaurants, and public transportation made it the ideal place to stay for anthropology major Natalie Aracena, who was there during the winter break.
Through the Council on International Exchange Education program (CIEE), she took a class, titled "Understanding Brazil Through Intercultural Engagement," that included visits to Rio's various neighborhoods.
Recreational Therapy major Nanahawa Bagigah spent the month of January in Rome absorbing Italian culture and history with visits to the Colosseum, Vatican City, and day trips to Paris. She also ate a lot of pizza, gelato, and pasta.
Helina Owusu-Sekyere, a biology major, is grateful to the Gilman Scholarship because it allowed her the opportunity to study in India. She spent the break working with the Comprehensive Rural Health Project at Jamkhed. There she was able to see first-hand the passion and commitment of practitioners delivering healthcare to underserved populations.
International Business major Nicole Flores, who has never traveled outside of the country or been on a plane, is looking forward to her trip to Singapore in April. For five months, she will study at Nanyang Polytechnic through Lehman's exchange program with the school. She says she was drawn to Singapore because of its mix of different cultures.
"I am a first-generation college student. Opportunities like this are few and far between for me, so I just had to go for it," said Flores.
Aileen Pelegrin, a multimedia performing arts major, boarded a flight to France in January to study at the Montpellier University through another of Lehman's exchange programs. She'll be taking classes to fulfill her business administration minor requirements.
She says she's excited to live alone for the first time, to meet people, take lots of pictures, and explore the country.
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is sponsored by the United States Department of State. Since 2015, Lehman has had 45 Gilman recipients, and was named a Top Producer of Gilman Scholars for 2016-2017.

Q: Add to current selection where a field has the same attribute I have a selection set on a feature class. I'd like to add to that selection set where the additional rows I'm selecting have an attribute that is the same as an attribute for already selected rows.
Example: Rows 1, 2, 3, 4 have attribute 'Letter': "A", "B", "B", "C" respectively, and row 3 is already selected. Row 2 has the same attribute, so it should be added to the selection set.

A: you can summarise your selected records depending on the field you wish to select further records from (letter in this case). A new table will be created that only contains sum of entries (rows) with the required letter field. Now you can relate this table from join & relates option with your feature layer. Relate will be based on the letter field. Now both tables are related. Whatever you select in relate table will automatically select features from your layer by clicking related table.

Q: Java passing 2 dimension array to method public static void main{
    String [][] book = new String[100][6];

    for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
        for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            book[i][j] = i;
        }
    }

    arrayMethod(book);
}

public static void arrayMethod(String[][] array){
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(array));
}

arrayMethod method output is [[Ljava.lang.String;@639facbc, [Ljava.lang.String;@8059dbd, [Ljava.lang.String;@28b6e768, [Ljava.lang.String;@1271ba, ....
Problem is that in arrayMethod I can't acces 2 dimension array data, where can be problem?

A: It's doing exactly what you want: you're pretending the (first-level) array is a List (of Array) and then printing the toString() of those, which looks something like [Ljava.lang.String@pointer. You probably want this instead:
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(array));

A: as Alya'a Gamal said, if you want to put an int inside an array of String you need to parse it : book[i][j] = Integer.toString(i);.
Then if you want to display your array, you need to run thought it, like this for example :
public static void arrayMethod(String[][] array){
        for(int i = 0; i < array.length;i++) {
            for(int j = 0; j < array[i].length;j++)
                System.out.println(array[i][j]); // a stringBuilder would be better than to print inside the loop
        }

    }

A: You can use Arrays.toString to print 1-D string array, but you CANNOT use Arrays.toString to print the 2-D array directly.
There are 2 ways for you to print the 2D string array in console.
Way#1 ==>
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(array));

Way#2 ==>
 for(String[] arr: array)
 {
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
 }

A: I see three issues here :
(1). The signature of the main method looks odd. It would raise a compile issue.
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Your code here
}

(2). In the following code :
for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
  for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            book[i][j] = i;
        }
    }

book[i][j] =i; // Here you are trying to insert an int in place where a String is required.

This will again lead to a compile time issue.
You can correct it as follows:
 book[i][j] = Integer.toString(i);

(3).
Use the following static method in the Arrays class to print the elements of 2D array on the console.
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(array));

Hope this helps.
+1 for isolating the problem.

California OKs 'baby bonds' to help combat child poverty
by Staff Report July 23, 2022 July 22, 2022
Parenting — that long chain of decisions that hopefully leads to a well-rounded adult — was always a little less stressful for Laura Guerra because her husband, Rigo, was "100% in it" for their daughter, Emilia.
But Rigo died from COVID-19 on Christmas Eve in 2020, alone in a hospital room while Guerra watched helplessly from the other side of a window. Since then, left to raise their now 2-year-old daughter mostly by herself, Guerra's mind hasn't stopped racing.
"I'm constantly thinking," she said. "Every decision that I make, if I make the wrong decision, she's going to suffer for it. And that scares the hell out of me."
Now, California is using some of its record-setting budget surplus to help ease Guerra's mind, and those of others like her. Last month, California became the first state to commit to setting up trust funds for children who lost a parent or caregiver to the pandemic.
The money — $100 million in total — will go to into interest-bearing accounts for children from low-income families who have lost a parent to COVID and to kids who are in the state's foster care system. State lawmakers haven't decided how much money each child will get, but one early proposal would give younger kids $4,000 and older kids $8,000. That would be enough to provide funding for about 16,000 kids, who could spend the money once they become adults.
"As a mom, this gives me a little bit of that security back," said Guerra, who has been advocating for the trust funds as a member of the advocacy group COVID Survivors for Change. "I don't want her to continue to be a victim of this virus forever."
The first U.S. savings bonds were introduced in the 1930s to raise money for the government and give ordinary Americans an opportunity to invest. Those bonds were nicknamed "baby bonds," because parents would often buy them for their children.
These modern-day baby bonds are different in that, instead of being purchased by parents, the government gives the money to children from low-income families for free. Advocates have held up the idea as a way to help close the racial wealth gap between white and minority families, who were largely excluded from the federal wealth-building programs during the Great Depression.
Hillary Clinton briefly included a baby bonds proposal in her 2008 presidential campaign platform, and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker introduced a national baby bonds bill in Congress that has yet to pass.
The Washington D.C. City Council passed a baby bond program in 2021, committing to give low-income children $500 plus another $1,000 each year that their parents remain below a certain income level. Last year, Connecticut was the first state to approve a statewide baby bonds program — although it hasn't been funded yet.
The idea is similar to guaranteed income programs that give cash to low-income people each month with no restrictions on how they can use it. California has several such programs at the local level, modeled after high-profile demonstration project in Stockton that launched three years ago.
While guaranteed income programs are about helping people with short-term expenses, baby bonds are about the future. Children could not touch the money until they reach adulthood. During that time, the money would grow by collecting interest payments from a bank.
How much money they children will get depends on how long the account grows. For younger children, advocates hope they will have between $20,000 and $40,000 once they become adults.
"Income and wealth are different things," said Michael Tubbs, the former mayor of Stockton who is now an advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom and founder of the advocacy group End Poverty in California. "People should have the wherewithal to pay their bills today … but the next generation shouldn't have to live paycheck to paycheck."
California's baby bonds program is the latest in a surge of new spending aimed at combating poverty. Since 2018, California has spent $13 billion on an array of new laws and policy changes that have lifted an estimated 300,000 children out of poverty, according to a report released earlier this year by Grace, a California-based nonprofit.
That spending includes a $1,000 tax credit for low income families with young children, a universal school meals program, college savings accounts for low-income kids and a commitment to send every 4-year-old to kindergarten for free.
The group hopes California's baby bonds program is just a first step. Its goal is to eventually have the state give trust funds to every child in the state born into a low income family.
"The goal has always been, 'How do we help best set up low income children for their future?' said Shimica Gaskins, president and CEO of Grace. "We had really relied on educational pathways, but also know that cash and cash assistance and opportunity are equally important."
It's not clear if the Legislature would expand the program to include all children from low-income families. State Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat from Berkeley and chair of the Senate Budget Committee, said lawmakers will closely watch the COVID survivor bond program to see how it works.
"The great irony of California especially, but the nation as a whole, is we have such wealth but it's so concentrated," Skinner said. "Whatever we can do that can address that income inequality is essential to do."
The state treasurer's office will manage the money in interest-bearing accounts. Once the recipients become adults, they can spend the money however they want. But advocates hope they'll use it for things like a down payment for a house, college tuition or a car.
Guerra said she doesn't know how her daughter would use the money once she's old enough to spend it.
"I do whatever I can to steer her in the right direction and to make her a good human being, right?" she said.
For now, she's focused on making sure her daughter, Emilia, remembers her father. So far, her efforts appear to be working.
Emilia Guerra sees her daddy everywhere. He's in the picture frames on the walls of her room. He's on the screen of her mother's phone. And he's in the recesses of her 2-year-old mind, showing his face to her in scattered moments across her bustling life.
"Randomly, we will be sitting somewhere and she says, 'Hi Daddy!'" Guerra said. "I do tell her that mommy can't see daddy. But maybe she can."

Clayton Poole (Jerry Lewis) is a small-town TV repairman whose former sweetheart, Carla Naples (Marilyn Maxwell), is now a famous movie star. Carla has cultivated a reputation as a virgin who does not have affairs or carouse with men in typical Hollywood fashion.
On a romantic fling, she secretly marries Carlos, a famous Mexican bullfighter; the next morning the couple agree it was unwise and plan to have it annulled, but her husband dies that day in a bull-fight. Distraught, Carla tore up her marriage license, not realizing she was pregnant; there's no legal documentation to legitimize the child.
Her agent, Harold Herman (Reginald Gardiner) tries to avoid a scandal by sending Carla into the country to give birth. He suggests that they send the baby back to the town where she grew up, Midvale, Indiana.
The cover story will be that she is going into seclusion to prepare for her next role, the lead in a controversial religious epic The White Virgin of the Nile. After, she can adopt her baby. Carla says that her sister is too young and her father hasn't forgiven her for becoming a movie star, so Carla decides on Clayton to take care of her baby.
After she gives birth, Carla asks if Clayton will help her. Still professing his undying devotion, Clayton agrees to care for the child. He is very surprised to discover that it is triplets, not one baby. Carla's sister, Sandy (Connie Stevens), offers to help Clayton (she is in love with him and will do anything to get his attention).
Clayton works very hard to take care of the triplets, taking on extra work and attending a course on motherhood at a local college, but Midvale's child services want to place them with a well-to-do two-parent family. He earns the respect of Carla's father (Salvatore Baccaloni) in his efforts to care for the triplets; both he and Carla's sister, Sandy, support Clayton keeping the babies.
On the final court day, the Naples family jump in to rescue Clayton and the triplets. Sandy enters the court in a wedding gown, pursued by her father, who is carrying a shotgun and claims that the babies are Sandy's. The Judge marries them, the implication being that they can keep the triplets. Meanwhile, Carla has seen the Midvale news and is afraid that her triplets will be taken from Clayton. She releases a press statement that triplets are hers and that she and Clayton are secretly married. Now suspected of bigamy, Clayton goes into hiding with the triplets.
Then, truth comes out: in the wake of the bigamy scandal, Mexican authorities reveal Carla's secret marriage to Carlos, so Clayton isn't a bigamist, nor is he the father of the triplets, nor are the triplets illegitimate. Harold (Carla's agent), who is in love with Carla, proposes. She accepts. Clayton then realizes that he's actually in love with Sandy, who has always loved him, not Carla. While taking a romantic walk and wondering when they can marry, they realize that they are married. Nine months later, Sandy gives birth to quintuplets. A statue of Clayton and his five babies is erected in front of the town courthouse, as Midvale's Hero.

Electrical drafters prepare and draw technical drawings of wiring systems. They generally work on projects related to power transmission and generation, rather than on consumer-scale electrical projects. Electrical drafters tend to work closely with architects and engineers to develop specifications and translate them into functional documents that guide the installation and maintenance of electrical wiring. Many electrical drafters also develop specification sheets and documentation related to power transmission and wiring.
This role requires a thorough understanding of electrical transmission principles, along with the ability to analyze information and present it in a clear, accessible manner to guide electrical contracting work.
Electrical drafters develop wiring diagrams throughout the project lifecycle. These diagrams include a master drawing that shows structures and wiring systems, as well as detail drawings illustrating electrical connections, distances, and landscape elements that need to be considered during the planning stage. Electrical drafters may also prepare drawings that illustrate wiring connections and equipment.
Electrical drafters work closely alongside engineers, architects, and technicians to determine project specifications and functional requirements. They examine proposed sites and projects to determine power needs and generate estimates for materials, such as wire or underground pipes. Electrical drafters tend to work with engineers throughout a project, as power needs can change as work continues.
Once they have gathered functional requirements for a power transmission project, electrical drafters develop and prepare technical specification guidelines. They may assemble a series of documents to guide installation and maintenance of electrical lines. This requires a high level of attention to detail, as electrical drafters check technical documents to ensure a high level of accuracy.
Electrical drafters also work closely with contractors and installers throughout the project lifecycle. Early in the process, they review documents and diagrams with installers, answering questions related to materials or power needs. Later, they inspect contractors' work to ensure they are following diagrams and adhering to specifications.
Finally, electrical drafters collaborate with technicians, engineers, and contractors to resolve electrical issues that arise during the project lifecycle. For example, a contractor may inform an engineer that he is unable to follow the current specifications due to unforeseen circumstances; the electrical drafter will revise the drawings and return them to the engineer for approval.
Most electrical drafters have at least an associate's degree in a related field. This is typically a two-year program that provides instruction on drawing and preparing schematics, as well as providing a background in math and science. Electrical drafters can expand their earnings and career potential with certification through the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA), which offers an online test covering the principles of drafting and design.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), electrical drafters earned an average annual salary of $59,970 as of May 2016. This is slightly higher than the median salary for all drafting professionals, which was $53,480.
Employment for electrical drafters is expected to grow at an average pace between 2016 and 2026, with the BLS estimating seven percent growth.

Congratulations if you've grown your business to the point where you can consider selling it and retiring, or moving on to your next adventure.
Some businesses have a succession plan in place which involves either a family member taking over the reins, or the business ownership transferring to the management team already running the show. However, for the large majority of businesses it's a matter of finding an external buyer, and this is where things can get confusing as there is a plethora of choices open to the business owner.
The owners of micro businesses – one man bands and other businesses with annual profits of under £50K – often sell their businesses themselves and without any external assistance save for a solicitor to draw up the contract of sale. These owners may find buyers through word of mouth, ads in local papers or through listing their business on one of the online marketplaces such as BusinessesForSale.com, RightBiz.co.uk and DaltonsBusiness.com.
However, the larger the business the more the need for professional assistance to prepare the business for sale, present it well, promote it to the right prospective buyers and project management the whole campaign to ensure, among other things, that a) the sale stays on track and proceeds to completion and b) the business owners extract maximum value.
The frightening stats are that 80% of businesses going to market fail to find a buyer; vendors often underestimate the difficulty of attracting competent buyers and passing due diligence, the challenges that can present themselves along the way and the complexity of negotiating a successful deal package. The time, skill and effort involved in nurturing a deal to the finish line is considerable.
The right professional assistance improves the odds of achieving a successful sale on the right terms. But how does one find the "right" adviser?
1) Business Transfer Agents & Business Brokers: At the lower end of the scale are intermediaries who call themselves Business Transfer Agents or Business Brokers (there is no real difference between the two). They specialise in the sale of smaller "Main Street" businesses such as cafes, beauty salons and high street shops, though they are not averse to taking on a business turning over a million or more.
These agents / brokers typically meet with the client at the client's premises, provide a 'ballpark' valuation and attempt to get the business owner to sign a contract instructing the broker to act for them. Some of these firms charge a small sign-up fee of a few hundred to a few thousand. Others operate exclusively on a contingency basis, i.e. the client pays only when the business is sold. In either case, there is an additional fee to be paid in the event of a successful sale; this ranges from 8% – 12% of the final sale price.
It needs to be said that the business transfer / broker industry doesn't have a glowing reputation. The industry is completely unregulated and has attracted some sharp operators. Numerous articles have been published over the years exposing some of the many ways in which agents/brokers exploit their clients. That said, the UK does also have some who are excellent, hard working and trustworthy. It's not easy to tell one from the other.
2) Corporate Finance / M&A Boutiques (and some who also call themselves Business Brokers): Again, the names may differ but they, too, sell businesses, in this case "lower mid-market" firms i.e. businesses with t/o ranging roughly from about £2m to £50m.
These firms tend to be run by qualified accountants and/or have extensive in-house accountancy talent – from professional valuation experts to tax specialists. Many of these firms are regulated by the FCA (for some of the other services they provide).
Unlike with the sale of smaller companies, finding buyers for larger firms is a bit more involved than placing ads in online marketplaces and sitting back. Intermediaries need to invest considerable time and effort to prepare the documentation and proactively hunt down prospective buyers. Fees therefore tend to be higher and there is usually a retainer of many thousands of pounds (£30K to £50K is not unusual) followed by a "success fee" calculated as a percentage of the price achieved. Success fees tend to be far lower than those charged by business brokers and can be as low as 1% though the average is around the 2.5% mark.
As someone who negotiates broker fees and terms on behalf of my clients, I'm aware that fees and fee structures in this industry vary considerably. Fee structures sometimes involve no retainer, but commit the vendor to fixed sums of £10K or so on reaching each of several milestones through the sale process. A few firms charge no retainer or success fee but invoice clients on an hourly basis from as little as £150 ph to as much as £500 ph depending on the seniority of the person providing the service. Whatever the structure, it's usually worth taking advice on the broker's terms before signing their contract.
3) M&A Advisory / Investment Banks: The sale of larger businesses – typically £50m and above – require vast teams of accountants and lawyers working on the deal. Retainers tend to be in the six figures and these intermediaries tend to build relationships with their client companies years in advance of going to market. They often provide strategic advice and exit preparation assistance along the way and long before they are commissioned to actually sell the business.
The right partner needs to do more than just sell the business, they need to add value to the deal. The value that a competent intermediary adds will typically be several multiples of the total fees they charge. By the same token, the wrong partner can damage the value of a business.
I've been matching businesses with intermediaries for a long time now and appreciate that choosing the right intermediary is easier said than done. There are about a thousand intermediary firms in the UK and each has their own individual areas of competence and strengths. There being no public database of each agent's strengths, it's difficult to impossible for owners of SMEs to find the right adviser unless they are willing to invest significant time to research the market and speak with several brokers / corporate finance firms and other intermediaries.
The sad fact is that many business owners take a shortcut through this minefield and interview / speak with just the brokers found in the first few pages of Google searches. This is most unwise. It's worth the business owner going carefully through databases of business brokers, tracking M&A awards to see which firms are often shortlisted for recognition, and monitoring the news for M&A deals happening in their industry before tracking down the intermediaries involved in putting those deals together. The most competent broker / M&A firms have no shortage of clients and they are in high demand. As a result, they don't advertise, don't optimise their websites for Google searches and certainly don't cold call to sell their services.
Horses for courses: Choose a partner who has extensive experience with businesses like yours given the size and nature of your business. The likes of PwC, Lincoln International and EY – who typically handle the sale of businesses worth £100m or more – would be neither cost effective nor competent at representing a £5m business. Similarly, smaller intermediaries who generally handle Main Street businesses would lack the in-house spread of expertise required to take a £50m business to an IPO (stock market listing).
Research the partner well: While online review and feedback sites are a good starting point for opinions on restaurants or local plumbers, they aren't suited to providing useful feedback on business disposal intermediaries. Neither is Google a good source for a spread of feedback on a particular player. Given the average fees brokers earn on a deal, there is much incentive to manipulate online feedback sites. However, researching the partners / directors of the firm on LinkedIn may be worth doing. The recommendations on individuals' LinkedIn profiles are less prone to manipulation given as the names of the referees are public and these referees can be easily contacted. Additionally, you could ask the firm for references and speak with clients who've used their services in the past.
Interview multiple parties before taking a decision: This might seem like hard work, but for most entrepreneurs selling their business is the biggest deal they'll ever be involved in, and finding the right partner can make all the difference in the world to the success of the deal. There's a list of questions below to assist with interviewing brokers.
The conventional advice of checking for membership of professional bodies may not work well in this industry as it's pretty easy for brokers to get accepted into some of the so called professional bodies that claim to monitor standards among brokers.
Please provide some examples of businesses like mine that you have sold recently, businesses in the same industry / sector and roughly the same size as mine. Is it okay for me to contact those clients? Some brokers are known to make tall claims about past deals before hiding behind the cloak of confidentiality to avoid providing proof.
Who will be the person actually selling my business? Will it be one of the partners … or a junior employee? How many hours do you anticipate this person will spend on my project from start to finish? It's quite common for a senior person to visit potential clients to make the sale and sign clients up, but these clients are then passed to a junior employee for all further work.
Are you willing to quote your fees in writing and explain the fees and the fee structure? Am I likely to incur other costs? For what? How much?
Have you done just sales of complete businesses to third parties or can you advise on management buy outs, majority recapitalisations and other equity events and tell me if one of those may be better suited to our circumstances?
Will you put your valuation in writing and, more importantly, share the method / breakdown of your calculation? Will my valuation be conducted by someone who is a qualified valuer? Having a qualified valuer is not necessarily going to result in a more "accurate" figure, but if the business is being disposed off as a result of director disagreement, to finance a divorce payment etc., a qualified valuer's figure would hold more water in any potential litigation.
What can I expect from you at different stages of the process? And how long do you estimate each stage to last? Would you be willing to give that to me in writing?
Marketing: Can you explain where and how (and for how long) you will you market my business? Who will be paying marketing costs? How exactly will you go about finding strategic / trade buyers (i.e. the kind who'll pay a higher price)?
How much do I need to budget for other professional advice – solicitors, accountants etc?
Do you get compensation, in any way, shape or form, from any other parties in relation to the sale of my business? Some intermediaries act on both sides of the deal, earning fees from both buyer and seller!
We in the UK are fortunate in that we have some of the world's most competent M&A advisers and intermediaries. Unfortunately, we also have some of the worst. This article hopefully goes some way towards helping you find a competent and trustworthy firm to sell your business.


One hundred years ago, Koreans and Americans in Philadelphia stood together in solidarity and support of the millions of people in a united Korea peacefully protesting colonial rule in a fight for freedom and independence. April 14th and 15th of this year will mark the centennial of the First Korean Congress in Philadelphia, a delegation of 150 Korean and American citizens inspired by the First and Second Continental Congress of the United States and the millions of Koreans who peacefully stood for freedom in the March 1 Movement of 1919. Notable founders of the First Korean Congress included Philip Jaisohn, Han Kyong Jung, and Syngman Rhee, who became the first Korean President of the Republic of Korea.
Following the establishment of the First Korean Congress, Philadelphia would soon after become the birthplace of the League of Friends of Korea in America, organized in 21 American cities as well as abroad in London and France. The aspirations of the Korean people for basic freedoms and rights go beyond the border of any one nation, as demonstrated by the international outpouring of support for the peninsula over the last century.
Dr. Hyun Jin P. Moon, GPF Founder and author of Korean Dream: Vision for a Unified Korea, turned a spotlight on leaders of the Korean independence movement at a centennial commemoration of the March 1 Movement in Seoul during the Global Peace Convention 2019.
The City of Philadelphia's historical connection to Korea's independence movement will be recognized and celebrated through the following events from April 12 to April 14 offered to the public free of charge.
Day 1: Friday, April 12th at 7PM – The celebration will kick-off with an Opening Ceremony and Symposium at the Plays and Players Theatre ("Little Theatre"), located at 1714 Delancy Pl, Philadelphia, PA 19103, where the First Korean Congress met.
Day 2: Saturday, April 13th from 11AM to 1PM – The reenactment of the First Korean Congress-led march from Plays and Players Theatre to Independence Hall. An anticipated 1,200 people are expected to participate, including elected officials, government representatives, and all major Korean American organizations in Philadelphia.
Day 2: Saturday, April 13th at 7PM- The Centennial Concert, featuring Philadelphia Master Chorale, Master Chorale Youth Choir, WCU Faculty Brass Quintet, Master Chorale String Ensemble, and Korean American Youth Cultural Society, will be held at Church of the Holy Trinity, located at 1904 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
Day 3: Sunday, April 14th at 6PM – The three-day celebration will close with a Korea-U.S. Friendship Night with traditional Korean music, dance, and art performed by artists from Korea, Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey. It will be held at the University of the Arts-Elaine C. Levitt Auditorium, located 401 South Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19102.
Councilmembers David Oh and Helen Gym are Honorary Co-Chairs of the First Korean Congress Centennial Celebration Advisory Committee.

The Department of Justice responded to that appeal on Jan. 19. In a letter filed with the appellate court, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Fallon wrote, "(Avery) has nothing left to lose" and is a flight risk. He said Avery has appealed his conviction before and failed.
The 2005 case has been in the headlines since the Netflix series "Making a Murderer" was released. The show follows Avery's conviction.

This recipe piqued my interest because it contained a lot of ingredients that I really like. I can't say that I would ever have imagined putting them together, but they surprisingly work very well together.
I do like a good granola mixed into my yogurt in the morning or as an afternoon snack, and this granola is perfect for that. It gives the yogurt a nice crunch. My boys will eat this granola by the handful. At least one of them will mix it into yogurt too.
We try to have meatless Mondays in our home and last Monday was no exception. It makes my son the vegetarian very happy. He never likes to eat things like this, he's just happy that we're not hurting any animals.
Made these for a PTA meeting recently and received rave reviews. I thought they were delicious. The toasted coconut was a really nice addition. These bars are definitely sweet, but if you only eat a small square, they're perfect.

Clippers players stage protest after owner Donald Sterling's alleged racist comments
Los Angeles Clippers players staged a protest at a playoff game on Sunday against racist comments allegedly made by team owner Donald Sterling, turning their warm-up jerseys inside-out to hide the team name before a loss to the Golden State Warriors.
The silent demonstration came as Sterling faced a firestorm of criticism over a 10-minute recording obtained by celebrity news website TMZ in which a man reported to be the NBA owner tells a woman not to post photographs of herself with black people online and not to bring African-Americans to Clippers games.
The taped remarks rocked the National Basketball Association (NBA), where most of the players are black, and left its officials scrambling to address the scandal that has threatened to overshadow the playoffs.
Ahead of the game against the Golden State Warriors in Oakland, Clippers players gathered at center court, dropped sweat-jackets with the team's name around the tip-off circle and then came out with their warm-up jerseys inside-out, keeping the "Clippers" name off of their chests.
The players had discussed boycotting the game, star guard Chris Paul told reporters. They came out for the game in their normal jerseys, but with black socks and bands that game announcers said were also part of a protest.
Players did not speak of the clothing protest ahead of the game. Sterling did not attend and the Clippers lost the game, 97-118 as their opponents, the Golden State Warriors, evened the playoff series at two games each.
Afterward Clippers coach Doc Rivers declined to blame the loss on the furor, saying that the Warriors had outplayed his team and taking responsibility for failing to prepare them mentally for the big game.
"Certainly I believe everybody was affected by what took place. I don't think it was just the Clippers. I think it's insulting to all of us. I think both teams were somewhat bothered by what took place the last 24 hours," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said.
Sterling, who made his fortune in real estate, has not made any public comment.
Clippers President Andy Roeser has issued a statement saying he had listened to the recording on TMZ and had not yet determined if it was legitimate or had been "altered" somehow.
"Mr Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life," Roeser said in the statement.
'DON'T BRING HIM TO MY GAMES'
The recording appears to be part of an argument between Sterling and a model who uses the name V. Stiviano about photographs posted to Instagram.
"People call you and tell you that I have black people on my Instagram. And it bothers you," the voice alleged to be Stiviano's says, according to the recording at TMZ.com. She also says she herself is of Latino and black heritage.
"Yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to promo ... broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" the voice alleged to be Sterling's says.
Sterling is also allegedly heard telling the woman not to post photos of herself with Earvin "Magic" Johnson. "And don't bring him to my games, OK?"
Johnson, a former Los Angeles Lakers star, during the broadcast of the game on Sunday called on Sterling to give up his ownership of the team if the comments were proven to be his.
"When you've got the president of the United States saying this is bad, you've got all the fans around country, of different races around country saying this is bad, it's time," Johnson said.
President Barack Obama, who was asked about the controversy while traveling in Malaysia, said the comments were "incredibly offensive racist statements".
"When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk," Obama said when asked about the controversy during a news conference in Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
NBA INVESTIGATING, PLAYERS WANT ACTION
The NBA has said it was investigating the recording, described by Commissioner Adam Silver as "truly offensive and disturbing". It could make a ruling by Tuesday, TV network ABC reported in its game broadcast.
Sacramento mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson, who is assisting the players' union on Sterling, said if the allegations are true, the players want swift and extreme action by NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
"They are just outraged," Johnson told ABC in an interview at Sunday's game. "The players want their voices to be heard. They don't want Adam Silver to just make the decision without their input. Thirdly, they want swift and decisive action. They want Adam to be as extreme and to do the maximum whatever the sanctions are allowed based on the bylaws and the constitution."
"This is a binding moment in the history of the NBA," said Johnson, who met with Silver on Sunday.
The NAACP said on Sunday that the nation's oldest civil rights group will not honor Sterling with a lifetime achievement award it planned to give the Clippers owner next month because of the controversy over the comments.
Sports news website Deadspin on Sunday posted more excerpts from what is said was a conversation between Sterling and the same woman. On it, Sterling is asked why he has a dim view of blacks, especially since his team has many black players.
"I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? ... Do I make the game, or do they make the game?" he is alleged to have said.
Sterling has faced allegations of discriminatory conduct in the past. In 2009, he paid $2.7 million to settle a case brought by the U.S. Justice Department which accused him of housing discrimination against blacks and Hispanics.

This guy capture Hyena cubs and train them, but they're wild animals. I don`t think than he can train them to protect and guard. They could really hurt some one (including the owner). Adults measure 95.0—165.8 cm in body length, and have a shoulder height of 70.0–91.5 cm. Spotted hyenas in Zambia, with males weighing on average 67.6 kg (149 lb), and females 69.2 kg (153 lb).


The ICC Handheld Termination Aid helps with the termination of keystone jacks. Simply place the keystone jack into the holder and punchdown the wires. The holder reduced the risk of the jack slipping away or punching the tool down on your hand.


In the sweltering climates of Southeast Asia and the Arabian Gulf, air-conditioning has become the norm. Yet for millennia, people drew on local knowledge to dress and live and sleep in ways that kept them cool.
Tim Winter, a sociologist at Deakin University, is researching the 'cool living heritage' of Singapore, Melaka and Qatar—traditional social and cultural practices which could, he believes, offer low-carbon alternatives to air-con.
… traditional social and cultural practices which could, he believes, offer low-carbon alternatives to air-con.
"It's not about romanticising the past, but raising awareness that there's a whole way of maintaining thermal comfort that's been lost in the space of a generation," he says.
Buildings account for nearly half of the world's carbon emissions—and, in the tropics and sub-tropics, 50 to 70 per cent of those come from air-conditioning.
In Southeast Asia, where Winter and colleagues are investigating air-conditioning and urban development, air-con used to be considered a luxury. However, with the rise of a new and populous middle class, it is spreading rapidly, with units being installed throughout homes.
In the tropics, buildings traditionally featured high ceilings, courtyards, verandas and gardens, all aimed at maximising shade and air flow.
But cool living, according to Winter, is not just about architectural design. While shutters, blinds and fans might seem old-fashioned, they are highly effective. So are loose cotton clothes, thin bedsheets and open-backed wicker furniture.
Older rhythms of life are also instructive. People used to shop in the morning or evening. As the sun moved, they opened up or closed rooms. There were times to bathe, and times to eat—and things to eat, such as olives at breakfast, in anticipation of the loss of salt through sweat.
Frustratingly for him, luxury is increasingly equated in Asia and the Gulf with deep-pile furniture and furnishings, particularly by the tourism industry. Hotel guests sleep under heavy doonas, in rooms with non-opening windows.
Since Melaka was placed on the World Heritage List in 2008, tourism has boomed in the Malaysian port city. Paradoxically, that has led to the gradual enclosure of its historic open-fronted shophouses, perfectly suited to the climate.
In Singapore, 'green' buildings such as Ken Yeang's National Library, with its rooftop gardens, reflect the city-state's attempts to shed its 'air-conditioned nation' image.
Winter plans to stage 'cool living' workshops and exhibitions in Singapore and Qatar.
His overall aim, he says, is "to make air-con a more contested issue, by initiating debate and challenging social expectations and norms of comfort".

For many of us it is still a mystery what Chandler Bing from the popular TV series "Friends" actually does for a living. The usual answer is that he has a good job, but not many of us know what he actually does.
This is also the case for many of us who work in HR. People think we have good jobs, without knowing what exactly this entails. It can be hard to explain to friends, family members and colleagues what working with HR (Human Resources) actually involves.
This is natural, also because HR covers such a wide area. Today, HR includes payroll administration, leadership development, branding, law, job satisfaction, employee development, talent management, workforce management, and so on.
We asked a number of HR professionals to give their take on how they explain their role to others outside the world of HR.
Our interview subjects agree that there are two groups that are especially challenging when it comes to explaining HR: older people, and children and young people. Older people may be familiar with the concept of a "personnel department", so several of the interviewees use this term to explain HR to older people.
"How I explain this depends on who I'm explaining it to. I tell younger children that I work on a computer a lot and meet a lot of people. I can't use the term HR with my uncle, aged 65, but I say that I'm responsible for personnel and work with personnel issues."
"It's usually the youngest and the oldest who don't understand the concept of 'HR' and I explain it differently, depending on the age group. If they're older, I say I'm a personnel manager. If one of my 18-year-old daughter's friends asks, I say that I work with people in the organisation. I work with employing and developing people, and make sure they have the right employment agreements and good managers."
"Quite simply, it's about making the most of the human capital in a company. How we get people to want to move in the same direction, to become involved and support the company's vision. It's also about ensuring a healthy corporate culture that will enable people to thrive, work and contribute to achieving fantastic results," says Ida Janghed, HR Director at Hilti Sverige.
"I say that I'm responsible for Borregaard recruiting the right people, and further developing their competence via e.g. management support and competence programmes. I also assist if anyone is to leave the organisation."
"I usually say that my job is to help managers to become better managers. Going into further detail about my work would be too complicated, but if anyone is really interested and asks a lot of questions, I'm happy to explain more. My main task is to make sure that managers can work as effectively and flexibly as possible."
HR specialist Lisa Pira from Solar has another version of how to describe the HR role.
"If they ask, I'll explain about my workplace and how we sell lamps and switches. And that I work with people, to make sure that we have a workplace where as many of us as possible enjoy and thrive in our work, and have the opportunity to develop and do a good job," she says.
So – What does Chandler Bing actually work with?
Chandler is "IT Procurement Manager" with focus on statistical analysis and data reconfiguration, whatever that may mean? Later he becomes a copywriter in an advertising agency. So now you know!

This Week in Art 3.27-4.2: 100+ Ai Weiwei Installations Coming to NYC

This morning, the New York Times announced Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, a series of Ai Weiwei installations coming to various sites around New York City in October 2017. More than one-hundred of Ai Weiwei's works will be installed in public spaces as part of the Public Art Fund project, which attempts to highlight the city's historical role as a gateway to the U.S. for millions of immigrants.
"I was an immigrant in New York in the 1980s for ten years and the issue with the migration crisis has been a longtime focus of my practice," says the artist. "What's important to remember is that while barriers have been used to divide us, as humans we are all the same. Some are more privileged than others, but with that privilege comes a responsibility to do more."
This is the last week to see Porcelain, No Simple Matter: Arlene Shechet and the Arnhold Collection. The exhibition closes at the Frick this Sunday, April 2.
Thursday, March 30, 7pm—In conjunction with the exhibition, Raymond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work, the New Museum is hosting a conversation between the artist and museum director Massimiliano Gioni.

Triolet – strofa 8-wersowa o dwóch rymach i schemacie rymowym: ABaAabAB, w której wers pierwszy powtarza się jako czwarty i siódmy, a drugi jako ósmy - w wersji oryginalnej lub lekko zmodyfikowanej. Triolety pisali Tomasz Zan i Adam Mickiewicz. W parafrazach mądrości Wschodu używał ich też Remigiusz Kwiatkowski. W Czechach triolety pisał Jaroslav Vrchlický.

Jednou žijem, jednou číš výš letí,
druhá, kterou piješ, první není,
jednou nejlíp chutná políbení,
jednou žijem, jednou číš výš letí.
Zdar buď starým, zdar buď i vám, děti!
Přiští okamžik již všecko změní,
jednou žijem, jednou číš výš letí,
druhá, kterou piješ, první není.
(Jaroslav Vrchlický, Přípitek)
