The organisations requiring the most workforce are the manufacturing and assembly plants, which, despite the high unemployment rate, fight with significant lack of workforce and high fluctuation. One of the main reasons is that the employees do not have the practical skill necessary for the position, they are not able to socialise and integrate into the work organisation.
In the first phase our labour market re-integration program focuses on assessing the real skill and competence matrix of the individuals at the time of being involved into the program.
The future employees are pre-selected and assessed (intelligence, personality, physical suitability/work capacity, reading/writing skills, monotony tolerance), which is a prior assessment of the existence and developability of the skills necessary for the work stages in the given organisation/position/profession.
It provides exact information on the competences to be developed / developable on the demand side of the labour market.
It can be used for sectoral and profession group HR benchmarking.
It prepares a national register of the available/developable competences.
It can be used to filter the persons not developable from the point of view of the labour market.
It can provide objective data for resource allocation taking into account the regional differences of the labour market.
It can assess the real and assumed hindering factors of employment and identify the necessity of the labour market intervention points.
It can provide adequate statistics, information within a short period if time for the given areas (geographical, profession groups).
After the first assessment made when joining the system, re-assessment can be made annually to monitor the changes, improvement of the individual. The involvement of one person into more programs does not result in duplication, it allows for the monitoring of the development.
The assessment system can process an unlimited number of data elements.
It is possible to make regional/county comparisons, or obtain information on the mobilisation possibility of the regionally available workforce.
The next phase of the program deals with the development of the future workforce assessed and evaluated from the point of view of labour market.
The focus is on the practical training and the intellectual developing exercises, which are to fix, improve and develop the physical movement of the daily work (g. reduction of reaction time, development of fine-motor skills, development of attention, observing instructions, enhancing endurance and monotony tolerance, development of shape, form and proportion detection and discrimination and depth perception, improving carefulness and precaution, and methodical, precise work performance and practical task understanding).
Development of skills important for re-socialisation (basic hygiene knowledge, responsibility, independence, co-dependent work, frustration tolerance, accuracy, stress tolerance, communication skills, conflict management skills, observation of norms and rules, adaptability, cooperation and helpfulness).
The training program operates as a complex system. The new directions of competence development can be defined, which makes it possible to develop and monitor the competences necessary for the tools used by the given organisation.
The training program is not carried out on the expensive machinery of the given organisation.
After the employees have participated in the training program, the fluctuation is significantly reduced.
during the training the learning process is not carried out on the expensive machinery of the company owing to the computer simulation.
The continuous development of the simulation tools allows for customised training with tools which are the same as the special tools used by the partner company.

For refugees and locals in Uganda, the internet is changing lives
Private investment has brought connectivity to north-western Uganda, as well as new opportunities for refugees and locals.
"Being online has really improved people's lives here – for us and the Ugandans," says Richard, 23.

By Josie Le Blond in Rhino Camp Settlement, Uganda | 24 September 2018 | Español | Français | عربي
Sudanese refugee Richard Maliamungu strolls through the dusty market. Squinting up at the midday sun, he slows and stops outside a shuttered stall.
Here, in Rhino Camp Settlement, Richard hopes to open a business selling phones to fellow refugees. It is a dream only possible since internet access arrived in this remote part of northern Uganda.
"Being online has really improved people's lives here – for us and the Ugandans," says Richard, 23, who came up with the idea for his business together with classmates while studying for an online course in social enterprise this August. "We see that in the community people want to create businesses, they want to study. That's possible now we have internet."
"Being online has really improved people's lives here."
Richard fled escalating violence near his home in South Sudan in February 2017. He is just one of over a million mainly South Sudanese refugees to enter Uganda in two years, swelling the country's refugee population to become the largest in Africa.
Praised for its progressive policies, Uganda allows refugees to work, start businesses and own property. However, the scale of recent arrivals has strained already overstretched regional resources. This, coupled with poor or non-existent mobile phone coverage, meant that until recently refugees were at risk of languishing in remote settlements.
In response, the UN Capital Development Fund, UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and partners turned to the private sector for help. Together with partner NetHope, they appealed to mobile providers to extend coverage to Uganda's new refugee settlements. Over the past year, providers Airtel, Africell and MTN have installed cell towers across the region, bringing internet access to millions for the first time.

"We put towers across northern Uganda, tailoring our network plan to suit where the refugee camps are," says VG Somasekhar, Managing Director of Airtel in Uganda. "The towers ensure that all the population, Ugandans as well as the refugees, are now well served."
Airtel consulted closely with government agencies and NGOs working with refugees in the region to ensure the extended network would facilitate their work. Improved connectivity helps coordinate distribution of food, medicine and housing, as well as allowing NGOs to distribute cash grants directly to refugees via mobile money transfer.
In this way, the project forms part of a wider response to refugee movements known as the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework, or CRRF, which calls for a broader range of actors to get involved in the refugee response and stronger partnerships.

"This collaborative approach of government, NGOs and private sector can all serve one objective," explains Airtel's Somasekhar. "So the government has given a refugee policy, the NGOs have come to do what they can do and corporate companies like Airtel have ensured that all three work towards one objective.
"So corporates don't need to do separate corporate social responsibility, you can actually collaborate with the governmental agencies to achieve the same objective," he adds. "I think that's really an opportunity for all of us. In a very meaningful manner, we've been able to impact lives and facilitate change."
On the ground, that impact has been profound. Improved connectivity has transformed opportunities not only for refugees, but also Ugandans in this previously-isolated northern region. In Rhino Camp Settlement, community initiative CTEN is helping young Ugandans access online learning platforms, transforming prospects for those struggling to afford school fees.
"I've learned how to come up with my own business plan."
"Since the refugees arrived I have benefitted and so has the whole community," says Richard's Ugandan business parter Gift Munguleni, who also recently completed a social enterprise course with CTEN's help. "Having internet here has helped us. The youth can now access so much information."
The fifth child in a family of ten siblings, Gift's father couldn't afford to send him to school after the sixth grade. But now that internet has arrived in the area, he can continue to learn, radically improving his life chances.
"I've learned how to come up with my own business plan," says Gift, 22. "If the refugees hadn't come I was just going to work in the field. That's how the course and the internet has helped me, and I know it's going to help me much more than that. It's going to have a lot of impact for all of us."

"We are doing such great things since we got internet here," agrees Matthew Lubari, 26, who volunteers with CTEN to teach digital skills to fellow refugees and locals who dream of careers as scientists, engineers and doctors. "Access to information has become so easy. Community members can come here and access online courses. It has really changed their lives."
While they seek investment for their mobile phone stall, Richard and Gift will continue to bring the knock-on benefits of internet access to the wider community. The two men are back online, studying for a diploma in public health. They plan to pass on what they have learned to improve hygiene and stop diseases spreading in the Rhino Camp settlement.
"Everybody here, locals and refugees, is thinking how to develop this place," says CTEN founder Peter Batali, 32, a Sudanese refugee who believes connectivity can allow refugees a role in regional progression. "We have a peaceful place here to learn skills and improve conditions. You could start a business here or a clinic. Whatever the challenge is, you can now go online and find answers."

The rules governing corporate takeovers must change in the wake of Kraft's takeover of Cadbury to ensure that they serve the UK economy, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg announced today.
The document also sets out how the Liberal Democrats would create an education system that provides skilled workers, a stable economy that reduces the public deficit and a fair and stable tax platform on which businesses can operate.
"For too long, Labour and Conservative governments have focused solely on the firms in one square mile in the City of London, while failing to support businesses across the country.
"The Government has failed to force the banks to lend to viable British businesses and won't face up to the need to break up the big banks to protect the economy.
"Who would have thought that when the taxpayer stepped in to rescue the banks, we would now be funding takeovers like that of Cadbury by Kraft?
"Following the banking collapse and the worst recession since the 1930s, the Liberal Democrats want to rebuild the economy very differently.
"We will create the conditions for a thriving, balanced and environmentally sustainable economy with jobs that last.
"It's a travesty that while businesses and others are trying to pull their weight, Government and public sector emissions have actually increased in spite of the recession.
"No-one believes Labour will make the sustained emissions cuts we need when it's taken a severe recession to cause real reductions.
"Businesses have been let down by Labour. This report shows that they got less than £1 for every six that ministers announced.
"The Government was asleep at the wheel just as the economy was driven off a cliff.
"There weren't even any plans on the table to help business until October 2008 despite clear signs of the credit crisis in the summer of 2007.
This coming Monday will see the first of the televised election debates. Vince Cable will face Alistair Darling and George Osborne at 8pm on Channel 4.
We want you to be part of it, there is still time for you to post a question which could be asked during the live debate.
"This Budget was a political dodge not an economic plan.
"Britain needed a Budget that gave us honesty in spending and fairness in tax, we have got neither.
"Labour is in denial, while the Conservatives are talking tough to cover up that they only offer more of the same.
"The Chancellor is incapable of coming clean about where spending cuts will have to fall.
"Rather than being honest with people about what the Government can and cannot afford, the Chancellor would rather let others indiscriminately shave departmental budgets.
"By confirming the freeze in personal allowances the Government has ensured everyone will see a real increase in their income tax bill – when what people on low and middle incomes desperately need is an income tax cut.
"Rather than forcing the nationalised banks to lend to good British businesses they have chosen to create a feeble quango to arbitrate between bullying banks and their small business clients.
If this Budget was the launch of the General Election campaign, then Labour candidates must be despairing. Instead of making taxation fairer for the poorest in our community, Alistair Darling chose to freeze the level of personal income tax allowance, making an already unfair system even more unfair.
The increase in fuel duty is a further blow to the rural areas of Wales. As Nick Clegg said, but as Labour fails to understand. the fundamental problem with fuel duty is that for rural areas a car is a necessity, not a luxury.
The Government has so far failed to get RBS and Lloyds HBOS lending to sound Welsh businesses – why should we believe them when they say they're going to start now?
This Budget was an exercise in concealing the true scale of changes and cuts that are going to be necessary to get out of the economic hole in which Labour will leave us.
"Today, Britain needed a Budget that gave us honesty in spending and fairness in tax. Alistair Darling has given us neither.
"Labour is in denial, while the Conservatives are talking tough to cover up the fact that they only offer more of the same.
"The Chancellor is incapable of coming clean about where spending cuts will have to fall. Rather than being honest with people about what the Government can and cannot afford, the Chancellor would rather let others indiscriminately shave departmental budgets.
"And the Budget did nothing to make Britain a fairer society.
"We're campaigning for fair taxes, lifting millions of people out of income tax altogether. But today's Budget, by confirming the freeze in personal allowances, means everyone will see a real increase in their income tax bill.
"Rather than forcing the nationalised banks to lend to good British businesses, Labour have chosen to create a feeble quango to arbitrate between bullying banks and their small business clients."
"This report completely refutes the Government's often repeated claims that the detention of children only happens in exceptional circumstances for short periods.
Ahead of today's council meeting, which will confirm the budgets for 2010/11 and the forward financial plan, councillor Keith Davies, leader of the Liberal Democrat group on Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, protested that not enough time had been given to council members to scrutinise papers. "Major cuts in spending and administration are proposed," he said, "and members had six days notice at most before examining them in scrutiny. Some had as little as three. Scrutiny committees typically had only up to an hour to argue over the details."
Deputy LibDem leader, Cadoxton councillor Frank Little, recognised that the cabinet and officers had an unenviable task. Savings had to be achieved as a result of the poor settlement from the Labour-dominated Welsh Assembly Government, and of the unexpected rise in pressures on social care and children's services. "However," he commented, "if members had been involved earlier, better solutions might have been found in many areas."
He added: "We will continue to provide constructive opposition through the coming year. This will include identifying savings which can be made without degrading services to the public."
"MPs should not be using their positions to further their own interests over those of the people they should be representing.
"Liberal Democrats brought forward measures to restrict the influence of lobbyists in Parliament. Sadly, Labour voted them down while the Tories failed to show up.
"Labour and the Tories claim they want to clean up politics but the reality proves different.
"It is absolutely vital that we invest in our digital infrastructure.
"Britain is already lagging behind other countries with faster internet speeds so intervention is needed.
"Investment in rural areas must start early to avoid an expanding digital divide.
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg today called for a cross-party Council of Financial Stability to agree the timetable and scale of deficit reduction.
The sheer size of the deficit will require politicians to take a different approach to the challenges in public spending to avoid Greek-style social unrest, Nick Clegg said in his speech at the London Stock Exchange which was co-hosted by the WWF and CentreForum.
"Government-as-usual will not, cannot, command the legitimacy to make the big decisions before us. The scale of the changes required is so great it will require a different way of taking decisions too.
"The standard model, of Governments elected with a minority of popular support, cooking up fiscal plans behind closed doors in Whitehall, imposing cuts from on high is a recipe for Greek-style social and industrial strife.
"So we need to find new ways to arrive at decisions so that politicians put the long term national interest above their own short term interests and actively involve the public in the decisions taken.
"The Liberal Democrats would establish a cross party Council for Financial Stability.
"We would invite the economic spokespeople of all the major parties, the Governor of the Bank of England, and the Head of the Financial Services Authority to join the Council.
"The purpose would be to force the politicians to put the long term national interest ahead of their own narrow political interest, and agree the basic timetable and scale of deficit reduction in the years ahead.
"The rate of growth; the level of unemployment; credit conditions; the extent of spare capacity in the economy; and the cost of Government borrowing.
"This would not prevent political parties from arguing about what changes should be made to taxes and in public spending, or which areas of taxation and spending should be immune from any change, but it would force the whole political class to come clean and tell the people of Britain what the scale of the changes actually will be.
"With a structural deficit now estimated at £80bn, and market confidence shaken by the unwillingness of the politicians to spell out what they're committed to achieving, it is essential that politicians of all parties demonstrate that they will no longer play games with the stability of Britain's long term financial reputation.
"Including the monetary and banking authorities will also allow for a more coherent debate about the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy. As well as the role of the financial services sector in underpinning, not undermining, growth.
The Chief Fire Officer, in his annual presentation to Neath Port Talbot council last Friday, made a plea for automatic fire suppression systems to be included in all new public buildings, especially schools. He revealed that the Afan Lido, which suffered a severe fire in mid-December, was not equipped with sprinklers, which he was sure would have limited the damage.
Councillor Frank Little, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the council, commented: "There may be some excuse for not building in sprinklers to the original 1960s building. However, the benefits were well-known by the late 1990s, when there was a major refurbishment. If sprinklers had been put in then, the council and Celtic Leisure would have been spared serious embarrassment last year."
To mark the 200th anniversary of the first written usage of the word 'liberal' in a political document, Liberal International, the Liberal Network of Latin America (RELIAL), the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty and the ALDE Group in the European Parliament are organsing the upcoming weekend in Cadiz, Spain a Conference '200 Years of Common Liberal Identity, A Liberal Agenda for Europe - Latin American Relations'. Over 50 leading liberal politicians and thinkers from the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America and Europe have confirmed their participation. Next to LI President Hans van Baalen, the event will be addressed by RELIAL Chairman Otto Guevara Guth, Nicaraguan liberal leader Eduardo Montealegre, Eurolat member Renate Weber MEP, former Argentinean Defence and Economy Minister Ricardo Lopez Murphy and Joseph Garcia, Leader of the Gibraltar Liberal Party. In the framework of the Conference, the European Liberal Forum will realise the years-long idea of the Fundacio Llibertad I Democracia (LI Catalan full member) to organise the first meeting of the Iberian Liberals.
The government is not giving up. They are now looking at super ID cards.
One of the most important debates at spring conference was on the first day, and we regret not mentioning it here before. There is a full report by Suzanne Fletcher, who has been one of the leaders of the campaign to stop children being transported to Yarlswood and to remedy the degrading treatment of those already there. Suzanne has some of the most distressing cases occurring in her home town of Stockton.
So despite conference taking our peers out for a friendly word in their shell-like, it seems the Digital Economy Bill has successfully cleared the hurdles in the House of Lords.
Some industry experts are relying on the bill passing simply because it runs out of time, the MPs fail to scrutinize it, and it gets through thanks to the wash-up.
So now is the time to write to your MP to insist the bill gets a proper hearing in the Commons. 38 Degrees have information and a campaign to help you do that.
Female MPs: how's the party doing?
Mark Pack comments on Jo Swinson's report to conference here.
" Our broken political system desperately needs to be cleaned up. Public confidence in politics is at an all time low, and the way the country is governed needs urgent reform.
"The Liberal Democrats have passed plans today to make politics fairer, local and more transparent.
"Labour has had 13 years to change our broken politics, and it's failed to do so.
How can Theresa May say that she doesn't know what the Liberal Democrats stand for? The speech is here.
Nick Clegg will be holding a question-and-answer session at our federal spring conference in Birmingham this weekend, but for those who cannot make it in person, there is an opportunity to take part over the Internet.
The Conservatives are wrong to say that crime is rising, and Labour is wrong to claim the credit as crime is falling in every western European country except Belgium. Technology and demographics are doing the work.
On crime, Labour and the Tories try to make up the figures as they go along. Only the Liberal Democrats can be trusted to follow the evidence of what works to cut crime.
Serious concerns have been raised about Conservative plans for an £8,000 payment for residential care after figures released today by the Liberal Democrats have revealed that 3.5m pensioner households (66%) do not have assets of £8,000 excluding their homes.
The figures undermine Conservative claims that their plans would enable older people to pass their homes on to their children as two-thirds of pensioner households would have to sell or release equity from their homes to pay for the private insurance scheme.
The reality is that Conservative social care plans are unworkable, unfair and unaffordable for the majority of pensioners in this country and do nothing to pay for the costs of care at home.
This is basically a poll tax and many people on modest means will be wondering how the Tories could think it's fair that they should pay the same amount for care as multi-millionaires.
David Cameron needs to start being honest with older voters. Most couples don't have a spare £16,000 to cover an insurance premium and it's incredibly dishonest to say this will stop people from having to sell their homes to pay for care.
The Tories need to explain how they're going to get the numbers to add up on this plan especially as the private insurance market has failed to get people interested. Perhaps this is yet another example where the Tories need a little help when it comes to using a calculator.
Whoever wins the next election cannot avoid the fact that we're facing a crisis in funding for care. What we need is a long-term solution which is both fair and affordable in the long-term.
"These are deeply alarming figures which suggest that British exporters simply haven't been able to take advantage of the big devaluation which occurred in the last year. They suggest that the long term decline and neglect of British manufacturing has taken its toll and that an awful lot more needs to be done to rebalance the economy to make it more competitive.
"It is wrong to suggest that the British economy can escape from this recession by just relying on exports. It just isn't happening. Exports are one modest part of the national economy. We need an economy that is strong and secure across the board, and the Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering that."
"This submission highlights how dangerous the Government's position is.
"The country can't afford to have political parties playing politics with the public finances.
"The British people and the markets have the right to know how and when each political party will tackle the deficit.
"The Liberal Democrats have made it clear that the point at which we cut spending will be based on economics and not political dogma.
In a message to party workers yesterday, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg accused the Conservatives of 'a crude form of blackmail' by encouraging fears of a fall in the stock market.
Nick told us: "The Conservatives are so desperate that they have resorted to a crude form of blackmail.
"David Cameron and George Osborne are stoking up fears in the markets, actively trying to destabilise the pound and reduce the Government's ability to borrow.
"It's like a protection racket: vote for us or our friends in the City will lay waste to your economy, your savings and your job.
"There is nothing positive in the Conservatives' election strategy. It's built entirely on the hatred of Gordon Brown, stoking up fears of a broken society and now threatening economic meltdown.
Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrats' Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, confirmed that the Liberal Democrats are not anti bank or anti banker. He states that his day one, hour one objective as Chancellor would be to devise a fresh and consistent mandate for the nationalised and semi nationalised banks. He argues that RBS and Lloyds are key to supporting the British economy and are currently falling well short of their lending agreements. He challenges Alistair Darling to give a full public account of these agreements on their respective anniversaries.
The Liberal Democrats are, however, committed to splitting up the banks, unilaterally if necessary. Vince Cable argues that so long as Northern Rock was re-mutualised in such a way to guarantee that it would continue to repay the Government, there is no reason – at least in principle – why it could not do so as a Building Society.
"This is a clear endorsement of the Liberal Democrat approach to the deficit and the re-privatisation of the state owned banks.
"Decisions of when to cut Government spending must be based on economic principles not political games.
"Both the public and the markets have a right to know how the parties plan to tackle the deficit, but gung-ho spending cuts while the economy is barely recovering is simply reckless.
"While Labour buries its head in the sand and the Tories change position according to the prevailing wind, only the Liberal Democrats have produced a credible and coherent plan for dealing with the deficit.
Commenting on Ofgem figures showing that energy companies are making £105 profit per customer, a 40% increase in the last three months, Liberal Democrat Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Simon Hughes said: "Energy companies clobbered households even as they struggled through the cold snap.
"Cynical price cuts now won't disguise bumper profits made on the back of grossly unfair fuel bills.
- 78,276 working days have been missed by police officers due to assaults between 2004/05 and 2008/09.
- 17,055 days were lost last year alone, an 11.2% increase on the previous year. This is the equivalent of reducing the number of police officers in England and Wales by 75.
- Police staff also lost 5,398 working days to assault in the last five years (including 1,118 days last year).
"We want more bobbies on the beat, not bobbies being beaten.
"These startling figures show just how difficult a job being a police officer can be.
"Violence is clearly all too common on our streets when thousands of police working days are being lost as officers recover from assaults.
"Every effort must be made to try to get injured officers back to work as quickly as possible, even if that means lighter duties or paperwork.
Jenny Randerson calls for the loss-making North-South air link to be scrapped, as no suitable bidder has emerged to take over the service.
The Dutch city council elections on Wednesday saw important liberal victories for LI Full Members VVD and D66. The Dutch liberal parties were seen as the victors of the elections, with the VVD being the second biggest party gaining 14.9% of the electoral vote (13.8% in 2006) and D66 increasing its share to 8.1% (2.8% in 2006). D66 also saw a near five-fold increase of their number of council seats from 141 to 525, while VVD increased its number from 1166 to 1385. The populist Freedom Party of Geert Wilders only ran in two cities, and got big popular support. The Freedom Party became the biggest party in the city of Almere, and was voted the second biggest party in The Hague. Liberal International President and VVD leader in the European Parliament Hans van Baalen was satisfied with the good liberal results: "VVD is back, and will play a vital role in the councils and nationally after the upcoming general elections on June 9th. I commend D66 with their excellent result, which creates a strong liberal position in the Netherlands. I recognize that Wilders had success in Almere and The Hague. There should not be a cordon sanitaire. The best way to fight populists is to force them to take responsibility in office. We can defeat them if we are prepared to fight them instead of trying to ignore or stigmatize them".
Frank Little comments: This contrasts with the alarmist headlines in the London media, such as "Extreme right on the march in tolerant Netherlands" from the Independent.
Around 110,000 women are each set to miss out on up to £10,400 over the next decade because they were born as little as a day too early to benefit from changes to state pension rules, Liberal Democrat research has revealed.
Government reforms mean that from 6 April this year, both men and women will need to make 30 years of National Insurance payments to be eligible for the full state pension.
The changes mean that a woman who has paid National Insurance for 30 years whose 60th birthday falls on 6 April would be entitled to a full state pension, whereas a woman who was born a day earlier and has worked just as long would only be entitled to three quarters of this – or around £75 a week in 2010-11. This could mean women retiring this year before the 6 April cut off could miss out on as much as £10,400 over the next decade.
"The April 2010 changes to the rules on state pensions are entirely welcome and long overdue. But they create a cliff-edge for those who reach pension age immediately beforehand.
"Many of these women could lose out on up to £10,000 simply for being born a few days too early.
"This report shows the shambolic state of the UK's defence equipment programme.
"It is exasperating to learn how pervasive the culture of denial and deception among MoD officials is when it comes to acknowledging the £21 billion funding gap in defence procurement.
"The British taxpayer deserves to know the exact amount of debt he or she is expected to carry. No MoD official should be allowed to withhold or distort this knowledge.
"Public confidence and trust in the migration system has been shattered by decades of mismanagement.
"The abolition of exit checks by Conservative and Labour Governments means that we can only guess at the numbers coming in and out.
"People over-staying on short-term visas are probably the biggest source of illegal immigration and we still cannot say whether they are leaving when they are meant to do so.
"This dramatic slump in business investment bodes ill for economic recovery.
Actor Colin Firth, former Director of Public Prosecutions Sir Ken Macdonald QC and musician Brian Eno have all contributed to a book entitled 'Why Vote Liberal Democrat'.
The book, which goes on sale on today, covers topics as varied as fair taxes, gay rights, looking after our armed forces, political reform and the fight against climate change.
Other contributors include Gurkha veteran Madan Kumar Gurung, political reform campaigner Pam Giddy and Duwayne Brooks, Stephen Lawrence's best friend who was with him on the night he died.
"There are hundreds of reasons to vote Liberal Democrat, but there is also just one reason: the will to create a better, fairer Britain by doing things differently. This is what unites all the contributors to this book.
The Liberal Democrats have called on the Revenue and Customs to assess Lord Ashcroft's back tax payments as his commitment to permanent residence conflicts with non-dom status.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne has written to the Chief Executive of HM Revenue and Customs to ask for an investigation of Lord Ashcroft's back taxes for the ten years since he made his undertakings.
Lord Ashcroft is estimated to have a personal fortune of £1.1bn. His annual tax saving is conservatively estimated to be £12.76m and he has been a member of the House of Lords for a decade.
"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms.
"Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Don Foster, echoed the views of Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio Wales this morning, in his comments on the Corporation's intention to close radio station 6 Music. The BBC's strategy, published today, also includes proposals to scale back its website and close Asian Network.
"Today's report signals the end of the BBC roaming wherever it fancied. The decision to focus on high quality UK content is welcome.
"However, I am not convinced that using 6 Music and the Asian Network as sacrificial lambs to pay for it is the right approach.
Peter Black AM regretfully advises that he has to cancel his advice surgery, due to take place in Port Talbot Central Library on Friday 5th March from 3pm to 4pm, because of a family bereavement.
He has asked that anybody who was intending to see him either phone his office on 029 2089 8744 or e-mail him direct at peter.black@wales.gov.uk.
The Liberal Democrats will tomorrow vote in Parliament against the decision to freeze state pension top-up payments this April, which will leave almost nine million pensioners worse off.
Last December Ministers set out plans to freeze payments of the State Earnings Related Pension and the Second State Pension, effectively cutting state pension payments by £515million next year.
"Labour has betrayed pensioners by promising to increase their pensions when millions are actually set to receive a real-term cut this year.
"Freezing pension top-up payments will leave almost nine million older people worse off at a time when they are already struggling to make ends meet.
"Older people are already facing high fuel bills following this cold winter and rising inflation eroding their savings.
"Once again the speech was short on specifics and on the key assurance of fairness that is essential if we are to tackle our economic problems.

Trump Used Sham Invoices To Pay Off Mistresses

Trump now claims he paid off the two bimbos out of his own pocket
Show us the transfer
Yep the payment wasn't illegal.
Then why was Cohen charged with and plead guilty with a crime?
Or are you going to tell us that Cohen wasn't charged with Excessive Campaign Contributions again?
Please say yes so we can all laugh at you again.

Skylar said: ↑
Trump said that he didn't know anything about any payments. So clearly he lied
I understand why he did and forgive him completely...
Rambunctious said: ↑
So you're claiming that you *didn't* say this?
"If the American people have rock solid proof that a candidate lied repeatedly in order to win an election (a closely won election) then I believe that should be grounds for impeachment."
As that's exactly what G attributed to you. Nor a word changed
It is presented out of context...if you want to play this way this board would get ugly real fast...if you want to quote someone from a thread from weeks or years ago you must present the whole conversation....or you are doing a disservice to the person you are quoting and the people reading the post... get it?....its dirty pool...
So you admit to saying this:
And you admit the quote is accurate.
You're raising hypocrisy to an art form, buddy.
OODA_Loop Account Terminated
Lubyanka
He was charged that in Count 8
Doesn't make the payment illegal nor was that alleged or tried as fact.
Please say yes so we can all laugh at you again
Cohen blew it when he said he knew it was a violation or he would have gotten a slap on the wrist like Obama did for the same kind of violation....
I get that. But why would any rational person believe Trump after he's lied over and over on this very issue?
And......why would any rational person ignore the paper trail, fraudulent invoices, payments after the election, and recordings of Trump discussing those payments?
You're giving us no reason to believe Trump or ignore the overwhelming evidence. Just your bizarre and irrational commitment to do both.
It is not illegal to pay someone to be silent.
no he took it from a conversation from another time and presented it out of context....he also changed the quote...not cool...a real desperate move...I pissed him off when I said Manaforte could be pardoned over the second trials charges....if convicted...he got pissed and acted out like the infant that he is...
Skylar he was less than truthful about an affair....just like Bill Clinton and a thousand others so it bothers me none...Obama lied about my healthcare...that's a big deal this isn't...
And yet in post 93 of this very thread.....you insisted that Cohen wasn't charged with making the contributions but instead, not reporting them.
Skylar: No, he plead guilty to making the contribution
OODA_Loop: No your wrong. He didnt. Read counts 7 and 8 of Plea Agreement.
Plead to not disclosing it as campaign contributions and the amount. Both of which charges are tacit approval of the payment by USDOJ.
But after that horrendous and comic blunder on the basic facts of the case, you expect us to accept your 'legal' opinion on the same case as having any particular value?
Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. The only reason you now know that Cohen was charged with Making Excessive Campaign Contributions...
...is because I educated you.


The new year has already seen a rise in legal challenges pertaining to the home building industry. At the 2018 International Builders' Show, the NAHB Legal Action Committee addresses several cases in Nevada, Michigan, Colorado and Idaho.
Grants were made in direct support of issues that affect builder members nationwide, including impact fees and growth controls. In the cases presented, local governments are trying to curtail development by charging egregious fees and setting limitations on housing growth in more populated metro regions.
One case that is likely to set state precedent is a challenge to Nevada's construction defect reform law. With help from NAHB, the Nevada HBAs fought for the passage of this law, which provides contractors with important protections including a six-year statute of repose for all claims. This lawsuit is the first substantive challenge to the law, and NAHB is pleased to again support Nevada's efforts.
Funds totaling $70,000 were granted to four different applicants for member litigation.
Applications for consideration at the 2018 Midyear Meeting are due Friday, June 22. For more information on how members and their HBAS can apply to NAHB's Legal Action Fund, email Lavon Roxbury or call her at 800-368-5242 x8359.

ArcelorMittal Dofasco hiring 200 to help regenerate workforce
/ Latest News / By wdmillwrightsinc
Thirty percent of the steelmakers employees are eligible for retirement, making recruitment for highly skilled jobs a priority. This round of hiring is for 200 jobs. Katrina McFadden, vice president of people and culture, says there is also pressure to meet the demands of an industry that is evolving.
"Our positions are really changing. We're moving to what we call advanced manufacturing — highly skilled positions working with the latest technology." The changes within the industry also present a challenge because there continues to be a skills gap, she says.
"I think the industry has seen a looming shortage coming."
Skilled trades and information technology are the areas the company see it needs the most, according to McFadden. ArcelorMittal Dofasco will be hiring everyone from software developers and systems analysts to millwrights and steamfitters. he goal is to hire around 300 people per year over the next three years. Since 2015, the steelmaker has more than 2,000 people. The job fair will be held at the main office, situated at 1330 Burlington St. E., from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Oct. 27.

A 2012 report from the Center for Climate and Security found that rapidly declining winter precipitation in the Middle East and North Africa, driven by a changing climate, contributed to the displacement of more than 1.5 million people in Syria from 2006-2011.
This instability has real consequences for our national security.
The Pentagon's 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review states that climate change may create "conditions that can enable terrorist activity and other forms of violence." This is supported by a 2012 intelligence community assessment, which warned that climate change may exacerbate the conditions that make it easier for terrorist organizations to seize scarce water resources as a means of enhancing their power and influence — as the Islamic State did along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, including the strategically essential Mosul Dam.
Since 2003, defense and intelligence analysts have been telling us that climate change presents a threat to the United States, increasing the likelihood of instability, degrading military readiness and harming our critical infrastructure.
The good news is that the Department of Defense refuses to be too late in realizing the mortal danger and in preparedness.
Moreover, the road map lays plans for tackling the threat as the military sees it (regardless of the cause), calling on the department to assess how increases in disaster relief will stress force availability, build the resilience of training and testing venues, and help partner nations adapt.
The U.S. military is also not alone among security establishments in recognizing the threat. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified climate change as a "strategically significant risk" to the United States in its 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review and more than 70 percent of countries in the world call climate change a threat to their national security.
As former military leaders who operated in a wide variety of unstable, climate-stressed environments — on land, on water and underwater — we know these are not hypothetical concerns.
That's why the Pentagon's recommendation that climate change considerations be integrated into guidance to Combatant Commanders is the kind of forward-leaning action we should expect across the U.S. government.
The bad news is that while the military refuses to be "too late" on climate change, short-sighted politics have prevented more robust action to reduce serious and costly risks.
After all, climate change poses threats to communities across the United States, including coastal zones, areas vulnerable to wildfires, agricultural regions hit by severe and frequent droughts and the critical infrastructure that powers our economy.
As climate change continues unabated, we may find ourselves faced with cascading disasters that are difficult to manage, particularly as our resources are stretched across domestic and international scenes.
Already, National Guard units are increasingly called upon to augment strained federal firefighting resources while, overseas, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps receive requests for international humanitarian assistance and disaster relief every two weeks, on average.
Military leaders see a direct connection between addressing the effects of climate change and succeeding in its mission to protect the United States.

Abstract Global warming, increased energy demand, and tremendous air pollution are forcing China to revise its energy structure of electricity generation dominated by coal (80% of total electricity) towards low-carbon electricity. Vigorous development of carbon-free energy resources of electricity is a practical way towards low-carbon electricity in China. In this paper, we shall outline renewable power generation (hydropower, wind power, solar energy, biomass energy, nuclear power, ocean energy and geothermal) together with nuclear power for China, present a reserves assessment, the current status, and barriers for further development, and finish with an outlook towards the future. In our view, China has plenty of free-carbon energy resources to revolutionize its electricity structure and redirect it towards low-carbon electricity systems. Needed are the effective energy policies to get to the way. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Yes race fans, it's Melbourne Cup time. One of the biggest horse racing events on the Australian calendar.
If you're a Melbourne Cup fan and you want to watch all the action but you're outside Australia then I've got the details you need that will allow you to do just that.
Tomorrow at 3 pm local time 24 horses will run the race of their lives 32 km from the centre of Melbourne, Australia. With a 3.2 km race to run (or roughly 2 miles in imperial terms) it makes for one of the most exciting races of the year.
If you're in the UK you'll need to set your clocks for a barmy 3 am but viewers in America, New Zealand and elsewhere will be able to watch at a more respectable time. Read on to find out how and where to watch.
The Melbourne Cup is being shown completely for free online by 7Plus.
If you're an Aussie then you'll know this better as Seven Network. 7Plus is their online streaming service similar to the UK's BBC iPlayer or America's Hulu.
You can tune in from 10 am AEDT (That's 11 pm on the 5th in the UK) and watch entirely for free.
If you're not in Australia though you'll need to get yourself a VPN app otherwise you'll be blocked from watching.
There are absolutely tons of VPN providers out there and while not all support Australian services, many do.
My recommendation is to use ExpressVPN. They not only support Australian services but they're also fast and easy to use. There's also a 30-day money back guarantee just in case you get stuck.
ExpressVPN – Recommended, 30 day money back guarantee, fast speeds.
NordVPN – Quick connection, simple apps, 30-day money back guarantee.
You'll need to choose any of the three above and then follow the steps below.
Watching the Melbourne Cup using a VPN couldn't be easier.
You'll be able to watch in the UK, USA, New Zealand, Canada, Bali, Thailand or anywhere else in the world.
Follow the steps below to watch the horse racing live where you are. In this example I'm using ExpressVPN but you can use any of the three providers from above.
Visit ExpressVPN and sign up for their service.
Then press 'All' (2), 'Asia Pacific' (3) and then 'Australia' (4).
Once connected visit the 7Plus website or use their app to watch the race live.
Watch the Melbourne Cup with ExpressVPN.
Now you're connected to a VPN you can watch the Melbourne Cup live from any country.
This of course means you can watch the Melbourne Cup in the UK, USA, New Zealand or any other country.
At the time of writing the Melbourne Cup takes place on Tuesday, 6th November 2018. It's around a similar date each year and you can watch on 7Plus any year.
Live race action is expected to take place at 3 pm AEDT which is the current time in Melbourne. However, live coverage of the day's events starts as early as 10 am on 7Plus.
To work out the time in other countries use TheTimeZoneConverter.
Yes, definitely. If you want to watch the Melbourne Cup on your phone or tablet then you'll need to get yourself the 7Plus app.
If you're an Aussie travelling then you'll probably already have it or should be able to download it directly from your regular app store.
Overseas viewers of the Melbourne Cup are going to need to get the app which takes a little more work than watching on your computer or laptop for example.
You can grab the 7Plus Android app right here. If you've got an Apple iOS device like an iPhone or iPad then you'll need to follow this dedicated guide.
To watch the Melbourne Cup online you can do so on the 7Plus website or app.
If you're outside Australia though you'll need to use a VPN app to unblock the service.
I recommend using ExpressVPN as they're fast and easy to use. They've also got a 30-day money back guarantee in case you can't get it working.
Click the button below to visit the ExpressVPN website and sign up. Then download their app and connect to Australia. You'll now be able to watch the Melbourne Cup outside Australia in the UK, USA, New Zealand or anywhere else.
Are you having a bet this year? If so (or even if not) who do you think will be the outright winner? Let me know in the comments section below.


There are many things we want to accomplish and that need to do something increase during the new year. A whole new year of attempting to pay off a single credit card only to pay the interest. Let's not forget the groceries, car gas, taxes, etc. Now – well any time – is the time to start budgeting!
Interest not only influence the economy but our lives. The usage of interest rate is absurd from my perspective, but I don't make the rules. I mean think about it – you take out a loan in an attempt to better your lifestyle only to be brought down by its interest rate particularly when you cannot find a decent paying job. Although, in the end, it's how you use the system.
With each year the interest rate is rising, which meant higher interest rates tend to moderate economic growth. If you're saving money then yes, it does not affect you as much. Unfortunately, if you're deep in debts, that's where the trouble lays.
The first thing you must do to hop out of the deep hole is to stop jumping. You must pay above the interest rate if you're in debt – like me. For example, when a credit card asks me to pay $30, I would pay $100.
The trick for this system only works if you pay above the minimum payment amount for only one card. Do not attempt to pay more than a few dollars above the minimum for all your cards. Travel through the interest rate and choose the one with the highest interest rate and pay that off first or pay off the one with the least amount of debt. Afterward, shred or cancel the credit card. The trick to stay out of debt is to realize you only need one credit card disregarding the fact that every store holds their own.
If you're an online shopper – like me, regularly send care packages, or running a small box you must know that shipping rates had increased.
If you're a shopper try to purchase items in bulks so you can qualify for free shipping or sign up for Amazon Prime. In my perspective, Amazon Prime is worth it since you pay a fixed amount per month and it's a good offer if you're a heavy online shopper.
If you're a seller, use the system to your advantage. I am not saying I do this, but I have a friend who select the lowest price shipment disregarding the weight. Shipping companies believe it will cost less to actually ship the item then send it back to you for incorrectly punching in the weight or size. Remember, you did not read that here.
According to the Global Travel Forecast, the average cost of flights worldwide is expected to increase by 2.6 % with hotel increasing at 4%. If you're a traveler, I will take a step back and save the travel money for another year or emergencies. If you can't stay away from the relaxation destination then I suggest thoroughly planning your routes which mean understanding when is the best time to travel.
For example, it's cheaper to fly out on a Tuesday than any other day. Why? It's simple, no one will fly out that day.
Due to the economic growth, it is time to think about saving money for a home. Yes, house prices are rising with each year, but you never know when it will drop. Of course, it won't drop drastically like back when I was a child – I'm 23. Even if you don't plan on purchasing a house, it can be use as an emergency fund.
You're walking down the street and bang – a shoe fell on your head.
When that hospital bill hits – you will wish that shoe kill you.
My best advice when it comes to health insurance is to stay on your parents or jump onto your spouse. If both of you are working, then compare and contrast your insurances to see which is the best then opt out the other. I am not ashamed to say, I am still on my parent's health insurance.
If you do not have the option of either, I would get health insurance anyways. It's a must, just cut down on the coffee and watch out for flying shoe.
We may not be able to control economic changes, but we can take control of our finances.


Did you know that the sales figures for outlet malls are 90% higher today (per square foot) than the traditional mall? In hope to find their brand name items for bargain prices, many shoppers are flocking to outlet malls these days.
Outlet malls were originally a place for retailers to sell excess or damaged goods. As time went on however, desire for brand name apparel at outlet prices soon began to outstrip supply. The advent of the internet has made it easier for folks to keep up with the latest trends in all areas of the country and made demand even higher for high-quality, designer goods. With all this increasing demand, especially in our current economy, stores began manufacturing a separate brand for their outlet stores. Most goods sold at outlet stores today are new products that were never on the floor of a major brand store.
While discounts can still be had for these outlet manufactured goods, the name tag does not necessarily equate quality any longer. Coach, a major player in the separately-manufactured items for the outlet mall, is a brand that with a simple Google search yields plenty complaints on the inferior quality of their outlet goods. I can speak from my own experience about clothing I purchased at the Banana Republic Factory Store—a super cute dress I fell in love with was fraying with one wear.
Why if the quality can be sub-par, do people still shop in droves at outlet malls? A lot of their customers don't know the difference. Store outlets depend on their customer's inability to be able to discern a difference between the Gap shirt at a store and the Gap Outlet shirt. If you try to return an outlet item to a traditional store, only then do you realize that your clothing item isn't exactly the same as most traditional stores do not accept outlet returns. Banana Republic and the Gap, for instance, have three squares/diamonds on their clothing tags to differentiate it from their regular stores.
What further increases sales at outlet malls is their big discounts (50% Off Entire Store!) with high MSRPs convincing customers they're getting steals. When you're saving money according to a tag, you're doing well! Plus, the far-out location only makes a person want to spend even more. Why pay a toll to cross the Lincoln Tunnel and drive an hour to the Woodbury Commons Premium Outlet in Central Valley, NY if you're going to leave empty handed?
Fear not shopper, if you're a fan of the outlet malls. This article isn't here to speak of their evils, but to shed light on their less-than-honest practices. If you're aware of the differences in outlet products and are buying the clothing based on your budget and not the supposed quality, shop away. Outlet malls will continue to be places to find clothing at affordable prices, especially if you catch store sales on already clearance items. Outlet malls can ensure you can buy gifts for all those on your holiday list without breaking the budget.
Readers: Are you a fan of the outlet mall? How often do you you go and what do you generally buy? Have you been disappointed or pleasantly surprised by your outlet finds?


Be still. Find a quiet space. Create some alone time. Breathe and allow yourself to truly arrive, to fully embody your body, right here and now.
Perhaps the outcome we want, or think we want, will not be what happens. That can bring up an immense and overwhelming fear. What if our love isn't the kind of love that lasts forever? What if our love isn't the kind that can co-habitate? What's best for the child(ren)? What's best of each of us, individually?
When I sit, I see how hooked I am on predicting, planning, and plotting. Letting go simply means dissolving all those extraneous thoughts and stories into thin air. Consciously choosing to stop boarding those cyclical, worrisome trains of thought, and watching the mind play its games.
We can change our lives by changing our intentions and changing our actions. It is liberating to let go and see what unfolds.
How open to each moment can we be? Remember that love is the thread that is invisibly present in all.

We are also pleased to share the recipients of The Studio Creative Arts Community's Creative Arts Awards, with funding provided by the Division of the Arts.
The Studio Research Award
Siena Laws, Education Studies
Siena Laws will "investigate our inner thoughts and feelings in social settings: our anxieties, joys, and feelings of disconnection." She plans to create wearable sculptures that participants can choose to interact with. These pieces will reflect those inner thoughts and feelings and lead to a discussion with participants on how they connected to the work in order to better understand the pressures of daily life.
The Studio Service Award
Malcom McCanles, Theatre and Drama, and Asher Bernick-Roehr, undeclared
Malcom McCanles and Asher Bernick-Roehr will reference Raymond Carver's book of short stories, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, to examine connection and relationships in a COVID-affected world.
Their plan is to take each story in the book and give it to a performer to use as inspiration when creating their piece, in order to have a coherent theme and feeling running through the entire performance. Their main goal is to reference the book in order to create multi-disciplinary performances, which celebrate, analyze, critique, and explore connections and relationships.
Awards in the Creative Arts – Short Biographies (Alphabetical by last name) and Summaries
Anna Campbell (Wiechers)
Using sculpture and site-specific installation, Anna Campbell's work deconstructs signifiers of gender and heteronormativity. Appropriated and abstracted references to domestic spaces, gay bars, and building construction are employed to access new attachments of possibility and desire. Her work has been featured in publications such as Queer Holdings: A Survey of the Leslie-Lohman Collection and in ASAPjournal.com, the Advocate.com, Hyperallergic.com, GQ.com, and the Chicago Reader. Campbell has been in residence at ACRE (Artists' Cooperative Residency and Exhibitions), FIAR (Fire Island Artist Residency), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Ox-Bow, and the Vermont Studio Center.
The award will support Campbell's project Prototype for a Dream Sequence, which is is an immersive art installation driven by material metaphors associated with steel scaffolding, aluminum anvils, CNC-milled copies of classical sculptures, and archival photographs. This work collectively deconstructs and queerly rebuilds historical and contemporary representations of masculinity. The title of the exhibit is drawn from a desire to support the complex preparatory labor of constructing just futures under the lived conditions of historical and quotidian subjection.
Midori Samson (Sinaiko Frank)
Midori Samson is a bassoonist, educator, and activist. She holds positions in the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and Beloit-Janesville Symphony. She is a former Fellow of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and has performed with the Chicago, Omaha, and Madison symphony orchestras, Japan's Pacific Music Festival, and the New York String Orchestra. Samson is the Co-Founding Artistic Director of Trade Winds Ensemble, an organization that hosts composition workshops for children in Haiti, Kenya, and Tanzania. Samson holds degrees from The Juilliard School and The University of Texas at Austin and has been a Collins Fellow at UW–Madison.
In 2018, Samson commissioned the composition of eight new works for solo bassoon by composers from across the continent of Africa. This culminated in a 50-minute multi-media recital, which she has performed in Chicago and Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It is her hope to also eventually perform this recital in various locations within Kenya and Tanzania. With her commission and the recital, she strives to perform, create awareness, and add music to the bassoon repertoire written by Black composers, which is historically lacking.
Leslie Smith III (Baldwin)
Leslie Smith III is an oil-based painter. His studio practice is centered on using abstraction to communicate the human experience. Smith received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and received his MFA from Yale University School of Art. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the High Museum of Art and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art. Recent exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Maus Contemporary in Birmingham, AL, and Galerie Isabelle Gounod in Paris along with exhibitions in Madrid and New York City.
This award will help Smith create a series of abstract paintings that includes industrial materials to expand, challenge, and alter the perception of what defines a "painting." The purpose of this project is to empower an audience to evaluate contemporary abstraction, its relationship to race, culture, and identity. Smith's series of "Bilateral Gestures" will emphasize African American contributions to the field with expectations of different sensibilities than those offered by first and second generation African American abstractionists.
Fred Stonehouse (Creative Arts)
Fred Stonehouse's work has been variously characterized as neo-surrealism, fabulism, magic realism, and pop surrealism. He had his first solo show in Chicago in 1983 and his work is shown on a regular basis at the Carl Hammer Gallery in Chicago, Howard Scott Gallery in New York, and at the Koplin/DelRio Gallery in Los Angeles. Besides domestic exhibitions, he has exhibited in Germany, Italy, Mexico, and the Netherlands. He has been the recipient of an NEA Arts Midwest Grant and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Individual Artists Grant and was the subject of a mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in 2015. He received his BFA from UW-Milwaukee and began the academic aspect of his career in 2006.
Stonehouse's new project will reference various common outsider and vernacular folk forms such as lawn ornaments, butler ashtray stands, and figural signs to create works that sit somewhere between painting and sculpture. Many of the works will go beyond 2D format to a 3D format and will be able to be viewed from all sides. A number of these works will be large in scale and will include antique stepladders and wooden doors. This project will incorporate Stonehouse's personal research in "outsider aesthetics," which usually hasn't been well documented or understood.
Sherry Wagner-Henry (Bartell)
Sherry Wagner-Henry has spent her career working in arts leadership, arts-based community development, and creative community placemaking. She has served since 2012 as Director of the Bolz Center for Arts Administration in the Wisconsin School of Business. In relationship to her work in nonprofit leadership, she is a frequent speaker, presenter, and moderator on creative placemaking, arts entrepreneurship, public/private partnership, and nonprofit board governance. She has been actively involved on boards and committees locally and across the country, including serving on these national boards, Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE) and Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru).
Her work has benefited hundreds of students and practitioners. At the Bolz Center, she manages recruitment, teaching, community engagement, and impact consulting through creative placemaking, campus leadership, and student placement. Throughout her time at UW–Madison she has developed high-impact programs including a Non-Profit Board Leadership class for graduate students, an Aesthetics and Business course for undergraduate business students, the Arts Business Research Symposium, and training and applied learning in arts-based community development (Creative Placemaking) for students and community members across the state. Most recently she created and is launching a new professional master's in Arts and Creative Enterprise Leadership.

Q: Should I use Table Per Type or Table Per Hierarchy? If I have a database with courses and course templates, and company course templates, what is the best way to store them in a SQL database? Course will probably have some other metadata about score, time-taken, and perhaps some other info.
Table Per Hierarchy
// Classes
public class CourseTemplate { }
public class CompanyCourseTemplate { }
public class Course { }

Table Per Type
public class CourseTemplate { }
public class CompanyCourseTemplate : CourseTemplate { }
public class Course : CompanyCourseTemplate { }
// Also for Course what if there are Course that belong to
// either CompanyCourseTemplate or else CourseTemplate

Hybrid Using Both - TPH
public class CourseTemplate { }
public class CompanyCourseTemplate : CourseTemplate { }

And - TPT
public class Course { }

It seems like the querying always gets messy when you need to differentiate the types within a table. As well, if you create a table per type the database gets cluttered with similar named tables as well. I am leaning towards the hybrid since it seems to be more natural with the types.
However, let's say we are storing a reference to the templates and we are using table per type what is the best way to manage this relationship?
In the exam table I could have two foreign keys to the template tables.
public class ExamTemplate { }
public class CompanyExamTempalte { }
public class Exam {
public Int32 ? ExamTemplateId { get;set; }
public Int32 ? CompanyExamTemplateId { get;set; }

The problem with this is that my code gets really ugly when I have to get an template from an exam template reference. I haven't found the best way to really take care of this problem. What is the best way to inherit from one of two templates. I am thinking that a hierarchy needs to be created where all exam instances must have a company exam template as well as a master template and the exam can hold references to both. The change would look like this.
public class Exam {
    public Int32 CompanyExamTemplateId { get;set; }
    public CompanyExamTemplate { get; set; }
    public Int32 ExamTemplateId { get; set; }
    public ExamTemplate { get; set; }
}

NOTE the nullables are gone since the hierarchy is always required.

A: Seems like you were initially leaning toward a one-to-many parent-child table structure something like this:
tblCourseTemplate:
CourseTemplateID
CourseTemplateName
CourseTemplateIsCompanyTemplate
CourseTemplateCompanyNameIfApplies
tblCourse:
CourseID
CourseTemplateID (i.e. parent record)
CourseName
CourseScore
CourseDateTaken
CourseTimeTaken
But then you said that a course could have more than one "parent" record so perhaps use an intermediate table to handle a many-to-many relationship:
tblCourseTemplate:
CourseTemplateID
CourseTemplateName
CourseTemplateIsCompanyTemplate
CourseTemplateCompanyNameIfApplies
tblCourseTemplateAndCourse:
CourseTemplateAndCourseID
CourseTemplateID
CourseID
tblCourse:
CourseID
CourseName
CourseScore
CourseDateTaken
CourseTimeTaken
