HPG deploys patrolwomen on Edsa
FEMALE Highway Patrol Group personnel will beef-up the PNP-HPG's presence along the 23.8-kilometer long EDSA, PNP-HPG director, Brigadier General Eliseo DC Cruz told the Journal Group yesterday.
The official said the HPG Patrolwomen have been plucked out from HPG administrative offices and fielded in strategic parts of the major thoroughfare not only to help direct traffic but also to ensure round-the-clock visibility to deter carjackings, highway robbery and hijackings.
"I have ordered the recall of all HPG Patrolmen from their administrative duties in order for them to conduct real highway patrol duties," Cruz said.
The policewomen are trained HPG Riders or be part of HPG mobile cars stationed in traffic-prone areas in Quezon City, Makati, Pasay, Mandaluyong, Caloocan and San Juan cities.
Cruz said that they are fully coordinating with the Metro Manila Development their traffic enforcement on EDSA specifically Cubao, Q.C., Buendia, Magallanes and Guadalupe in Makati, Balintawak, Q.C., in front of SM North and along Greenhills area.
The official has vowed round-the-clock HPG patrols to arrest incidents of carjackings, highway robberies and hijackings in the country.

Within the State of Florida, there are a large number of law enforcement agencies. Each of the 67 counties, with the exception of Miami-Dade, has an elected sheriff who is in charge of the county law enforcement department. In Miami-Dade County, local law enforcement is administered by the Director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, who is appointed. Each sheriff is elected to a four-year term. In each county, there is a minimum of one jail. Most of these are run by a corrections division of the sheriff's office; however, a few are administered by the county government directly. To locate information on a county sheriff or jail facility, find the county on this website or use the Florida Sheriffs Association.
In addition to the sheriffs' departments, there are 217 municipal police departments and 31 campus police departments at universities and colleges. Two Native American tribes with designated land in the state, the Miccosukee and Seminole, have their own police departments as well.
At the state level, the Florida Department of Corrections houses over 100,000 inmates in 56 facilities, including seven private prisons. To find an inmate in the state correctional system, visit the Department's Offender Network online. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement provides crime scene processing, lab work, independent investigations, and coordination of multi-jurisdictional and special criminal investigations with local, state, and federal authorities. The Department has a focus on five key areas: violent crime, major drugs, fraud/economic crime, public integrity, and domestic security. Finally, the Florida Highway Patrol works under the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to safeguard the highways and roads of the state.
Many cities in Florida have high rates of violent crime. Daytona Beach ranks as the 7th most dangerous small city in the entire United States. Other cities notable for the number of violent crimes include Key West, Orlando, Ocala, Riviera Beach, Panama City, and Pensacola. In overall crime, both violent and nonviolent, the counties of Broward, Orange, Palm Beach, and Pinellas account for over 32% of offenses committed in the state in 2015.
The most populous county in the state, Miami-Dade, also has the highest violent crime rate in the state. Three municipalities in the county see most of the violent crimes. Miami Beach has one of the highest rates of violent crimes in the United States. The city of Miami ranks at #17 on the list of most dangerous cities in the nation. Homestead, Florida, although smaller in population, also has a very high rate of violent crimes. All by itself, Miami-Dade County is the site of nearly 18% of all crimes in the state, when considering violent and nonviolent offenses.
In the state of Florida under Chapter 119.01 lies what is called the General State policy on public records. In summary this act allows all state, county, and municipal records to be open for public inspection and copying by anyone. This includes access electronically when available. However, the electronic record keeping software must maintain a common format and not diminish in any way the right of the public to inspect and copy the public records. Every person who has custody of a public record shall allow the record to be viewed and copied by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public records. Custodians include anyone from government officials to county clerks.
Q: Can I discover arrest records of those on a jail roster?
A: Yes. Each offender search includes a record of arrest history and details.
Q. How quickly can I view the reports?
A: Reports are generated immediately and available for view on your computer. There is no waiting period of documents sent through the mail. You will have the option to download and print any online reports.
Q: How can I remove offense on my record?
A: You will want to inquire with your local sheriff's department or court house. Lawyers and Parole Officers may also be able to help you.
Q: What resources are available to look up active warrants?
A: To look up active warrants you don't want to use the jail roster search. A local county run website could have this information but instead you should call you local sheriff's office or visit to ask if you have an active warrant.
Q: How do I beat speeding tickets?
A: You need to determine your speed and thoroughly review the citation before putting together your defense strategy. On the citation the officer will indicate if your speed was documented with a radar gun or estimate. Naturally when its an estimation you can fight the ticket more easily. If not you need to go back to the scene and look for speed limit signs. If you can make the case there were no signs in the area you should select appeal when sending back the citation and show up at the courthouse with your documents.

Building your online community.
At Avalon we understand the importance of getting your brand in front of your complete consumer base and this includes actively communicating and interacting on social media. In today's technology-driven world, more and more companies and people are utilizing social media as a form of giving and getting news, staying current on trends, and researching consumer products. In short, if your brand does not have a social media component in place, you are not reaching an important segment of your available market.
Avalon's social media programs include:
Establishing your brand's presence on primary social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.

Social Media Case Study – Kinn, Inc.
855.5% Increase in Exposure
Kinn retained Avalon to help brand and launch their portfolio of pet products. Kinn's products include devices to help assist with the administration of medicine to dogs and cats. As the Avalon team ramped the PR program for Kinn, it quickly became apparent that social media would play a vital part in reaching the viral community of pet enthusiasts.
In September of 2013, Avalon implemented a targeted Social Media program utilizing Facebook and Twitter to begin the online social branding of Kinn while also actively supporting their growing retail base of veterinarian offices and pet stores.
In a relatively short program to date (9 months), Avalon's efforts have resulted in key coverage in Woman's World, Marie Claire, Men's Journal, Organic Spa, Natural Foods Merchandiser, Shelby Report, Chicago Daily Herald and others. Most impressively to date, the Aronia and Superberries were featured on the front cover of the Wall Street Journal as "America's Next Top Super Berry". The company has also been featured on an online article that ran on the home page of Yahoo and generated over 1,000 sales for the company in a matter of days.
Avalon continues to represent Superberries and is actively working towards establishing the Aronia and the Superberries product line as a household name.
Social Media Key Components:
Development and implementation of consistent and creative posts
Timely response to fanbase inquiries
Cross promotion with veterinarians and comparable, but non-competitive brands
Trade show promotion to connect with show promoters and buyers/media attending the shows
Development, and implementation of creative to support a Facebook ad campaign with a $240 monthly budget
Regularly monitoring of Facebook ad performance to ensure a low cost per like (CPL). Kinn's average cost per like has been as low as $0.11.
Cross promotion with bloggers and media cites to encourage coverage and exposure to new potential fans.
In six months, Kinn's Facebook fans have increased 853.3% and the audience is responsive and engaged on a daily basis. The increased exposure has generated sales to veterinarians, retail stores and the website while the media coverage achieved via the traditional PR program has worked to drive consistent awareness in print and broadcast. By continually monitoring key metrics and posts/tweets that performed the best in terms of overall engagement and reach, Avalon continues to post similar, but unique, content designed to communicate with the fan base as they prefer and incrementally increase overall brand exposure to the viral community.

Commemorating Referendum Day 30 August 1999 - 2016 and the International Day of the Enforced Disappearances
"We remember the past to continue to fight against impunity in Timor-Leste and in the world."
The Timor-Leste people commemorate this day - 30 August - as the 17th anniversary of Referendum Day (1999-2016). This historic day led to our independence, which came with a lot of suffering over time, due to serious crimes systematically committed by the Indonesian military. After achieving independence, the people of Timor-Leste chose to live within a democratic state based on rule of law. Unfortunately, once independent, the State of Timor-Leste started to focus more on physical development and there has been as yet no credible justice for serious crimes committed against the Timorese people. The Timor-Leste leaders has been no political will of the justice issue for serious crime problems in past as foundation of right and democratic state.
Furthermore, the 30th of August is also International Day of Enforced Disappearances; we commemorate with the family members who have been disappeared and who still live in great suffering. Many families continue to scream and demand the return of their family members who were disappeared during the conflict period. Survivors, human rights activists and international people committed to humanity continue to wait and demand accountability for the criminals, and also justice for all survivors including victims and the families of victims.
Until now, after a decade, impunity still exists with its clear consequences. The reality shows that the Indonesian government has protected these criminals from accountability for the crimes they committed in Timor-Leste. Worse still, the Indonesian Government has given opportunities to occupy important positions to the perpetrators of serious crimes actors. This shows that impunity is flourishing in the Indonesian government, which in turn gives space for the crimes that happened in the past to be repeated.
Through both of these important commemorations, ANTI wants to appeal for and urge for:
Both governments (Timor-Leste and Indonesia) with society to establish a Commission for the Disappeared to work on the issue of forced disappearances during Indonesia's illegal occupation. In this way, we can reintegrate the persons who were forcefully removed from their families by the Indonesia military.
The United Nations to place on their agenda and discuss the report of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry and Indonesia's KKP-HAM, especially the recommendation for an international tribunal for serious crimes cases in Timor-Leste. To date, there has been no fair domestic mechanism to guarantee justice for the people of Timor-Leste, the international community, or especially the victims' families.
The UN Security Council to maintain the decision against impunity based on accusations of Special Panel for Serious Crimes in 2003, and to look for an effective mechanism to ensure credible accountability for the actors of these crimes, particular of the accused ex General Wiranto;
The state of Timor-Leste to sign and ratify the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances so that we can begin to process the cases of the disappeared, and to ensure we do not repeat the same thing in the future.
The Indonesian Government to respect the principles of human rights, to not close the way for justice for serious crime cases, especially to resolve all cases of enforced disappeared persons in Timor-Leste, so that we can strengthen bilateral relation between the nations of Timor-Leste and Indonesia in the future, based on universal human rights values.
PDHJ and Indonesia's Komnas-HAM to work seriously on the agreement the two organizations have established that focuses especially on cases of disappeared persons, so that we can look for these persons disappeared during the Indonesian military occupation.
The Timor-Leste Government, especially the Ministry of Defense and Security to use the recommendations from Chega! as a reference point for the commitment plans of both security forces. In this way, we will not repeat the crimes committed by the Indonesian military during the occupation.

East Timor Mining Code approval latest achievement in fulfilling Government Program
ETLJB 24 August 2016 Source: Government of East Timor Presidency of the Council of Ministers Dili, 15 August, 2016 Mining Code approval latest achievement in fulfilling Government Program
On Tuesday the 9th of August the Council of Ministers approved the Draft Mining Code. The development and Government approval of the Code marks another achievement in executing the Program of the Sixth Constitutional Government. The legislation now goes before National Parliament for consideration.
The Draft Code is a comprehensive piece of legislation that regulates all mining activities including recognition, prospecting, research, evaluation, development, exploitation, processing, refining and trading.
As noted in the preamble of the Code the regulation "is of extreme importance to the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste in view of the impact of these activities will have on the provision of materials essential to the development, economic growth and prosperity of the Nation."
In order to develop the Code in an informed and inclusive way broad consultations were undertaken with stakeholders. These included public consultations in all municipalities and zones, consultations with expert international law firms, dialogue with industry groups and companies, interaction with leading academics, and advice from the World Bank. Detailed opinions were also issued in the process of its development by issued the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Planning and Strategic Investment, the Authority of the Special Administrative Region of Oe-Cusse Ambeno and the Secretary of State of the Council of Ministers.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources led the process.
With its 20 sections, 148 articles and 3 annexes, the Code covers all phases of mining activities and includes provisions on Health and Safety, Environmental Protection, inclusion of Local Content, the Labor Scheme, applicable Offences and Penalties, Mining Registry, Transparency and Good Practices.
Preliminary studies have shown Timor-Leste to be prospective in metallic minerals such as manganese, gold, silver and copper, and non-metallic mineral such as limestone, marble, gypsum and sand and gravel.
Timor-Leste's Institute of Petroleum and Geology, Division of Mineral Resources, is continuing to research the nation's potential in metallic minerals [precious and base metals], gems, radioactive ores, industrial minerals [construction, manufacturing materials and ornamental rocks], rare ores and charcoal.
In February this year legislation was passed setting up the National Petroleum and Minerals Authority [ANPM] whose tasks include the supervision of all mining activities to ensure compliance with the enacted version of the Mining Code. The development and passing of this legislation establishing the mineral regulatory authority also marked the achievement of a legislative goal of the Program of the Government.
Spokesperson for the Sixth Constitutional Government, Minister of State Agio Pereira noted "the preparation of the Draft Mining Code has been an intense effort, with the Government seeking to deliver to National Parliament a world class Code which is appropriate for the context of Timor-Leste. We have sought to prepare something that is sensitive to culture and environment and also able to unlock the potential of our Nation's mineral sector to bolster our economic growth and lift the prosperity of our people.
The Draft Code represents another achievement of the Government which is focused on executing its Program and delivering results." ENDS
Impoverished East Timorese pay for the Catholic Church via Government-Vatican Agreement
Image: Asia Sentinel
ETLJB Editorial 18 August 2016 - On 15 July 2015, the East Timor Council of Ministers approved the signing of the Framework Agreement for the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste's Contribution to the Catholic Church.
The agreement provides that the annual financial contribution of Timor-Leste to the Catholic Church, for social and educational activities and for purposes of ecclesial governance, is determined by specific agreements between the Government and Timor-Leste's Episcopalian Conference, and is dependent on the availability of State funds.
The East Timor Government's press release noted that '[i]t should be remembered that the terms of the financial contribution are set out in the agreement signed between Timor-Leste and the Holy See in August of last year.'
The Catholic Church's participation in the struggle for self determination throughout the Indonesian occupation from 1975 until 1999 is acknowledged in the country's Constitution. The Preamble states:
In its cultural and humane perspective, the Catholic Church in East Timor has always been able to take on the suffering of all the People with dignity, placing itself on their side in the defence of their most fundamental rights.
Article 12 of the Constitution (entitled Relationship between the State and religious denominations) states that:
1. There shall be no official religion of the State.
2. The State shall respect the different religious denominations, which are free in their organisation and in the exercise of their own activities, to take place in due observance of the Constitution and the law.
3. The State shall promote the cooperation with the different religious denominations that contribute to the well-being of the people of East Timor.
4. The religious denominations have the right to possess and to acquire assets for the achievement of their objectives.
It is arguable that the Constitution establishes a secular State with a clear separation of Church and State in East Timor. It is also clear that East Timor is one of the most impoverished nations on Earth, successive governments since the restoration of independence in 2002 have all indulged in the most scandalous corruption, abuses of power and anti-democratic actions.
Why, then, are the impoverished and long-suffering East Timorese people economically supporting the Catholic Church with funding through this bizarre agreement with the Vatican? The only explicit reference to the State being involved in religion is Article 12(3) but it speaks only of promoting cooperation with the different religious denominations that contribute to the well-being of the people.
On the contrary, it should be the Vatican that is providing support to the Government and people of East Timor. The church in East Timor owns vast estates of land. Yet, instead of feeding the hungry and clothing the naked on Sundays, it puts it hand out to the people to take money from the people. And now even public funds go to ecclesial governance.
Although there are degrees of separation between Church and State in various jurisdictions around the world, one of the precepts of this notion is that the State does not destroy but also does not support religion; particularly when it comes to tax payers money in an economy that is struggling to provide basic services to the community.

Meeting of the East Timor Council of Ministers 15 July 2016
ETLJB 18 August 2016 Source: Government of East Timor Press Release Council of Ministers' meeting of July 15th, 2016
The Council of Ministers met this Friday at the Government Palace in Dili, and approved the signing of the Framework Agreement for the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste's Contribution to the Catholic Church.
The agreement provides that the annual financial contribution of Timor-Leste to the Catholic Church, for social and educational activities and for purposes of ecclesial governance, is determined by specific agreements between the Government and Timor-Leste's Episcopalian Conference, and is dependent on the availability of State funds. It should be remembered that the terms of the financial contribution are set out in the agreement signed between Timor-Leste and the Holy See in August of last year.
On the appointment of the members of the National Electoral Commission (NEC), which is in progress, the Government must nominate one of the seven commissioners, in accordance with the second amendment to Law N. 5/2006, of December 28th. The Council of Ministers has identified Odete Maria Belo as a commissioner of the NEC and Teresinha Maria Noronha as alternate, and will now inform the National Parliament of its decision.
The Council of Ministers also analysed the evolution of two major basic infrastructure projects: the improvement and maintenance of the road from Dili to Tibar and the operation and maintenance of the Hera and Betano power plants. The Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications also presented the payment process action plan for essential basic infrastructures projects.
Case Summary Oecusse District Court May 2016

ETLJB7 July 2016 Source: East Timor Judicial System Monitoring Program Press Release Case Summary Oecusse District Court May 2016 Summary of the trial process at the Oecusse District Court
1. Total cases observed by JSMP: 14
1. Total number of ongoing cases based on JSMP monitoring: 0
1. Crime of simple offences against physical integrity characterized as domestic violence
Case No : 97/krime.S/2016/TDO
Composition of judges : Single
Judge : João Ribeiro
Public Prosecutor : Ricardo Leite Godinho
Public Defender : Afonso Gomes Fatima
Type of decision : Sentenced to 1 year in prison, suspended for 2 years.
On 4 May 2016 the Oecusse District Court read out its decision in a case of simple offences against physical integrity involving the defendant JPR who allegedly committed the crime against his son (DdR) in Oecusse District.
The Public Prosecutor alleged that on 10 January 2016 at approximately 7pm, the defendant punched the victim once on his right arm and once on the right side of his head, slapped the victim once on his right cheek and left cheek, and choked the victim when he tried to flee. The defendant punched the victim because he suspected that the victim had lied to the defendant by saying that his parents in law would expel them from the house and tell them to go and live somewhere else. These actions caused the victim to lose consciousness and fall to the ground and suffer pain to his right arm, head and neck.
The Public Prosecutor charged the defendant for violating Article 145 of the Penal Code regarding simple offences against physical integrity, as well as Articles 2, 3 and 35 (b) of the Law Against Domestic Violence.
During the trial, the defendant admitted some of the facts in that he did slap the victim twice, however on his shoulder and right cheek. In relation to the alleged punches to the head and arm and choking, the defendant denied these allegations. The defendant also said that previously he committed a crime against his wife in 2013 and was fined $30. Meanwhile, the victim corroborated the facts set out in the indictment of the Prosecutor.
The witness MV, who is the wife of the defendant, chose to remain silent because the defendant is her husband and the victim is her oldest son.
In his final recommendations the Public Prosecutor requested for the court to impose a punishment of 6 months in prison, suspended for 1 year, because the defendant was guilty of committing the crime against the victim, even though the defendant only admitted some of the facts.
Meanwhile, the Public Defender requested for the court to impose a fair and balanced penalty because the defendant cooperated with the court, admitted that previously he had committed another crime against his wife, and was appearing before the court for the second time. In addition, the defendant also testified that they have 5 children including the victim and the defendant is the breadwinner of the family.
After evaluating all of the facts, the court concluded this case and sentenced the defendant to 1 year in prison, suspended for 2 years.

The world of recruiting can be a lot of fun and make you very successful early on in your career. However it of course comes with its fair share of headaches. As a new recruiter you have to be prepared for the world you are about to enter because while it can be very fruitful it is also very demanding.
It goes without saying that taking notes on anything new you learn is essential. You may think you retain everything mentally, but you are fooling yourself. As a recruiter myself I am a bit biased to just how important note taking is. You will learn so much on what it takes to make it as a recruiter, it is imperative you write this information down to constantly refer back to. Also note taking helps you develop key skills in recruiting. Even when you are 10, 15, 20 years into your career you will still be taking notes. Whether it is taking notes while screening candidates or taking a requirement from a client, you will burn through plenty of notepads in your career.
There's no one way to be successful in recruiting. The path to success in recruiting can come from thousands of different roads. You should soak in information from as many sources as possible. When I first started out in the industry I met with as many successful people in my office as I could and learned what made them a success. Don't stop there, you should also look into getting a mentor. Some of the major recruiting companies have some sort of mentor program, but make sure to reach out to one on your own. Also, use social media to your advantage. Get on LinkedIn or Twitter (some areas of Facebook work too) and start connecting with successful people in the industry. The one good thing about recruiters is they are not shy about being active on social media so they won't be hard to find. Also look into recruiting podcasts, there are plenty out there. I would start with checking out Drive Thru HR and Recruiting Animal.
The old way of thinking in recruiting when it came to work ethic was you had to be willing to work 7 am to 10 pm. Honestly this is a very outdated way of thinking. I have worked around some amazingly successful people that made a 9-5 schedule look like a joke. However that does not mean you shouldn't have a strong work ethic. There will still be times you don't leave the office until 8:00 at night regularly. Work ethic isn't about the hours you put in as much as it is about the dedication you have. You must be able to dedicate yourself to your career. You need to have a "do whatever it takes" mentality. Whether that means working until dark, working on the weekends or not giving up until the job gets done. You need to have the mentality that you will do whatever is required of you to find success.
This saying is pretty cliché but it applies here. When I first started recruiting I got a piece of advice that I'll never forget: "cast a wide net". What it means is that you need to be able to find the candidates you are looking for as soon as possible. You should be developing the contacts in your industry to get you in front of candidates immediately. Cold calling candidates to fill a requirement takes twice the time as it would if you are connected in the industry so well that the candidates are at least aware of who you are immediately. If you are going to focus on a specific industry you need to make sure your name is commonly known in that community.
Recruiting is like hitting in baseball. A .300 average in baseball is considered somewhat successful. Which means in 10 bats a hitter will only make contact 3 times. Recruiting operates under similar conditions. We are dealing with an unstable product: people. People are going to make the decisions they want that won't always be in your favor (i.e. accept a counter offer and not the position you are offering). You have to be ready to face this kind of rejection head on and continue to be successful. If you aren't ready to hear the word "No" a long term career in recruiting may not be for you.

UT Tyler Launches "100 Communities" Engagement Initiative
The University of Texas at Tyler announced the 100 Communities initiative, an umbrella effort to build partnerships in cities and towns across East Texas to enhance economic and educational outcomes and improve the well-being of the region.
"The University of Texas at Tyler is committed to working with communities to build a better future for students and a stronger, more vibrant region for all East Texans,'' said Dr. Michael Tidwell, UT Tyler president. "The 100 Communities initiative will allow the university to connect with each community and identify ways in which we can work together to move our region forward.''
The 100 Communities effort has started identifying opportunities where the university's intellectual and human resources can enhance local communities. However, communities are not limited by current projects. For the past few months, UT Tyler's Office of Community Engagement has visited school districts, chambers of commerce, city governments and other East Texas entities to communicate the availability of these resources and learn about additional ways the University can support the region. The goal is to reach more than 100 individual communities in the region.
"We are calling this effort 100 Communities because it reinforces our mission as a university to benefit the entirety of East Texas," said Dr. Laura Jackson, assistant vice president for government and community affairs. "We look forward to meeting with our East Texas neighbors and working together to make a lasting impact on our region.''
As part of the five-year strategic plan, UT Tyler is working to expand collaborative efforts with existing East Texas partners and establish new partnerships. The 100 Communities program represents a new phase in those efforts. "I see UT Tyler as a significant economic driver in the region with a true commitment to expanding that reach to areas like Jacksonville,'' said James Hubbard, president/CEO of the Jacksonville Economic Development Corp.

Seahawks Sign Defensive End Rasheem Green; Entire 2018 Draft Class Now Under Contract
The Seahawks signed defensive end Rasheem Green, a third-round pick out of USC. With Green signing his rookie contract Wednesday, Seattle's entire nine-player 2018 draft class is now under contract.
Green was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2017 after leading the Trojans with 10 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss, and despite being the youngest member of Seattle's rookie class—he turned 21 just last month—Green isn't joining the Seahawks as a raw prospect.
"You could see after the first day that he's really well coached," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after Seattle's rookie minicamp in May. "You could see that he's got a real sense for rushing the passer. His movements and kind of his transitions in and out of his movements – he's an experienced kid for a 20-year old. So that means he's been coached really well and he's a good natural athlete. It's really obvious in the camp. He looks like he would have a chance to do what we need him to do. It doesn't look like he has a million miles to go."

DOJ Catches Big Fish in Generic Pharmaceutical Criminal Antitrust Investigation
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division announced a major guilty plea with Sandoz, Inc., in its expanding criminal investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. DOJ has been pursuing this investigation for several years with some progress, but the Sandoz guilty plea is a major accomplishment in the investigation.
Sandoz agreed to pay $195 million in exchange for a three-year deferred purchase agreement ("DPA"). DOJ filed a four-count felony information charging Sandoz with participation in four separate conspiracies. Sandoz agreed to cooperate with DOJ in its continuing investigations.
Sandoz's guilty plea is the third company to plead guilty in the investigation. Sandoz admitted to entering into price fixing, customer allocation and bid-rigging schemes.
The four separate conspiracies, which occurred between 2013 and 2015, included:
Sandoz conspired with a New York-based generic drug company and other individuals relating to clobetasol (cream, ointment, gel and solution);
Sandoz conspired with Kavod Pharmaceuticals LLC (formerly known as Rising Pharmaceuticals, Inc., see HERE for clarification concerning Rising Pharmaceuticals Inc.) to allocate customers and fix prices of benazepril HCTA. Rising entered into a deferred purchase agreement in December 2019 for its role in the same scheme;
Sandoz conspired with a Michigan-based generic drug company related to desonide ointment; and
Sandoz conspired with a Pennsylvania generic drug company related to tobramycin inhalation solution.
DOJ has charged a total of seven companies and individuals. Sandoz and two other companies have entered into DPAs. Four individuals have been charged. Three executives have pleaded guilty, including former Sandoz executive Hector Armando Kellum.
Kellum's guilty plea derived from his time as senior pricing and contracts director, and then as vice president of contracting and business analytics. Prosecutors alleged that Kellum "was responsible for overseeing pricing and contracts of generic drugs."
Drug companies have entered into DPAs as opposed to pleading guilty because a criminal conviction could result in exclusion from federal healthcare programs and reimbursement for their products under Medicare and Medicaid.
A number of state attorneys general have an ongoing multidistrict parallel civil case against a large number of generic drug companies involving a large number of drugs. The guilty plea by Sandoz will have significant implications in DOJ's ongoing criminal investigation and the parallel civil case.
Sandoz admitted that the sales result from the four conspiracies exceeded $500 million.
Sandoz is also negotiating with DOJ's Civil Division to resolve potential claims under the False Claims Act and has reserved approximately $185 million for such a settlement.
DOJ's investigation is continuing. Makan Delrahim, the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division that the criminal investigation is ongoing. Sandoz stated that the individuals involved in the conspiracies no longer work for the company.

Upon the announcement of Tokyo as the host city of the 1964 Olympics, there began a demolition of an existing building for the expansion of the stadium in the vicinity. As the laborers removed the roof of the building, they discovered a lizard whose tail was nailed to the wall. To everyone's dismay, it was revealed that the nail has been there for at least three years. That meant the lizard has survived in "captivity" for the past three years. Fascinated by this remarkable phenomenon, the laborers took a break and decided to observe the lizard for a while. What they witnessed was even more astonishing than the lizard's survival itself. Another lizard brought food to its less fortunate partner. The freely moving lizard has in fact been feeding its "captive" friend for three years. As this simply story suggests, love builds up community and sustains life.
All Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ. The Bible says, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1). Brothers and sisters have the same parents. They are blood relatives. Likewise, Christians are born from the same parent, the Father, through the Holy Spirit and are blood relatives with one another through the blood of Christ. Therefore the fellowship of Christians is the most precious treasure money cannot buy. We experience the love of "invisible" God through "visible" brothers and sisters at church. Let us remember that we are true blood brothers and sisters. We are not to create division among us based on socio-economic status or the level of education. God wants us Christians to embrace one another and become one in spite of our difference in upbringing, personality, and preference. Anything that contributes to lack of unity such as hate, envy, wrath, division, and separatism must be avoided at all costs. Christians are to bear one another's burdens and render assistance and share joy with one another.
The fellowship and unity of Christians bring blessing. The Bible also refers them as precious oil and the dew, which represent God's blessing in earthly life (Psalm 133:2-3). He who is at peace with others receives the blessing of eternal life. It is not just an everlasting life in which we merely continue to live but an eternal life in which we live in God's abundance (cf. Psalm 133:2; Hebrews 12:14). When Christians are united in love, God grants Rehoboth or divine blessing of prosperity (Genesis 26:22). Only when Christians reconcile and are at peace with one another, can the wall between God and us come down.
Where there is despair, hope… grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console, to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love.
We must create a beautiful community God takes delight in by first understanding, forgiving, and loving our fellow brothers and sisters. The fellowship of Christians is truly precious, beautiful, and honorable.

Radiat Res. 2004 Oct;162(4):416-25.
Increases in oxidative stress in the progeny of X-irradiated cells.
Rugo RE1, Schiestl RH.
Department of Cancer Cell Biology, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.
A number of phenotypes persist in the progeny of irradiated cells for many generations including delayed reproductive death, cell transformation, genomic instability, and mutations. It appears likely that persistent phenotypes are inherited by an epigenetic mechanism, although very little is known about the nature of such a mechanism or how it is established. One hypothesis is that radiation causes a heritable increase in oxy-radical activity. In the present study, intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human lymphoblast clones derived from individually X-irradiated cells were monitored for about 55 generations after exposure. A number of clones derived from irradiated cells had an increase in dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence at various times. Cells with abrogated TP53 expression had a decreased oxidant response. Flow cytometry analysis of clones with increased fluorescence did not detect increases in the sub-G(1) fraction or decreased cell viability compared to nonirradiated clones, indicating that increased levels of apoptosis and cell death were not present. The oxidative stress response protein heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) was induced in some cultures derived from X-irradiated cells but not in cultures derived from unirradiated cells. The expression of the dual specificity mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphatase (MPK1/CL100), which is inducible by oxidative stress and has a role in modulating ERK signaling pathways, was also increased in the progeny of some irradiated cells. Finally, there was an increase in the phosphorylated tyrosine content of a prominent protein band of about 45 kDa. These results support the hypothesis that increased oxy-radical activity is a persistent effect in X-irradiated mammalian cells and further suggest that this may lead to changes in the expression of proteins involved in signal transduction.

Teltonika FM 1202 does almost everything that you usually want a GPS tracking system to do, that too at a reasonable cost. Internal GPS & GSM antennas make it easy for those who wish to covertly track their drivers without their knowledge. Besides, the high sensitivity capability of the receivers enable FM 1202 to have a better reception comparing with devices that comes under the same category/price tag.
FM 1202, an upgraded version of FM 1200 is blended pretty well for GPS tracking applications that fetch continuous data for real time location updates (even for a 5 sec update interval). With additional inputs & outputs, FM 1202 model makes it easy enough to monitor and control external devices, say for eg., temperature sensors used in reefers of FMCG carriers. This device has a USB port for device status log output & entering configuration. Teltonika FM 1202 is one of the rarest of its kind with a digital input exclusively reserved for ignition status to nullify the negative impact (showing un-occurred idling events) caused by certain GPS devices in the past.

ITT Exelis gets GPS III satellite payload deal
ITT Exelis has been awarded a $32 million contract by Lockheed Martin to build the navigation payloads for the third and fourth Global Positioning System III (GPS III) space vehicles under a program managed by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center's GPS Directorate, ITT Exelis said March 20.
ITT Exelis successfully tested the full-size payload prototype known as GPS III Non-Flight Satellite Testbed Navigation Payload Element in December 2011, the company said.
Scheduled for first launch in 2014, GPS III satellites will deliver significant improvements compared with existing GPS space vehicles. Among the improvements are improved accuracy, better anti-jamming power and greater interoperability, ITT Exelis said.


In my last post, I shared some thoughts about why people need to actually learn and remember things, rather than assuming we can always look them up. This post continues that discussion with the question of whether we should create courses or whether informal learning and performance support are sufficient.
Question 2: Should We Create Courses?
Another argument is that while people do need to learn, they can do it all on the job with performance support and coaching. According to this perspective, informal and nonformal training is good, but formal training and courses are a waste of time.
Alexander Salas has argued against courses as an "academic model." His LinkedIn post asking to "stop giving me courses" has generated almost 100 comments to date.
Some of our disagreement is due to differing definitions of "course," which Alexander sees as a purely academic tool, divorced from practice and feedback. I think courses can and should include practice and feedback.
Alexander defined a course as "an academic tool to achieve educational objectives." If you define course as something that can only be used in academia, obviously it doesn't fit with workplace training. I'm not sure that's a useful definition though. If courses are only academic, what do you call formal workplace training?
My definition: A course is a formally designed learning experience with a defined start and end point (either in time or content).
I want to differentiate a particular course from a whole curriculum or longer program, and I think ongoing performance support and coaching aren't actually courses and should be excluded from the definition. Coaching and on-the-job learning are also not formally designed.
— Conrad Gottfredson and Bob Mosher in Are You Meeting All Five Moments of Learning Need?
When it's a New skill, formal training is usually the fastest way to get people up to speed. It may not be the only way, but it gets people to the desired level of competency faster. If your work mostly deals with Apply, Solve, and Change, courses might not be the best approach.
Mosher and Gottfredson argue for performance support through the learning process. They're right to criticize the field for focusing solely on single event training, which is really most appropriate for New needs (and sometimes More). However, a performance support approach doesn't mean we should never create courses or provide formal training. It means formal training isn't our only solution.
Ruth Clark has written about accelerating expertise with scenario-based elearning (to be clear: I consider that a course). In one example described, they found that automotive technicians need to complete 100 work orders before reaching competence.
If they do on-the-job training (OJT), that takes them 200 hours.
If they do instructor-led-training (ILT), they can cut the time in half to 100 hours.
If they do scenario-based elearning, it only takes 33-66 hours to reach competence.
Can technicians get there with OJT and no courses? Sure, but you waste money and time doing so. The best decision for the business and the learners is to create a scenario-based elearning course. In this case, ILT might be a viable solution too, since it cuts the time to expertise in half. Regardless of the method or technology, formal training means becoming competent at least twice as fast as just learning as you go.
For a new skill, learning how to do something for the first time, you need formal training to establish the foundation skills. Learning a new skill on the job means more errors, greater frustration, and longer time. People may develop faulty mental models of how things work if they aren't trained, which becomes more difficult to unlearn than if they'd gotten formal training in the first place.
One of the criticisms of courses raised in this discussion was that how people really learn is through practice with feedback. That is clearly true; practicing a skill while getting feedback to adjust and improve your performance is critical. I argue that good courses should (and do!) include opportunities for practice.
Almost all of the educational technology out there is built on the idea that the basic unit of learning is a chunk of information, rather than the basic unit being a learner action with feedback, unfortunately.
In both academic and workplace training courses, we can spend time on practice, not just information sharing. When I taught K12 music and band, we spent probably 4 times as much time singing or playing as talking about theory. We spent most of our course time doing the thing, rather than talking about the thing. That's my background, and that's still how I try to approach workplace training.
For training network engineers, I've done paper cutouts, stickers with icons, or digital graphics to practice making network diagrams to solve a problem in a case study. For training WIC counselors, one way I provide practice opportunities is with branching scenarios to simulate conversations. For training bulldozer safety, I gave learners a simulated dashboard with a warning light and asked them to decide what to do next. For food safety training, I gave learners a picture of an employee where they needed to identify the violations and how to meet the standards.
Every one of those practice examples above was part of a course. Any definition of course that excludes practice isn't a viable definition.
The solution here isn't to only use courses and forget about everything else. The question shouldn't be should we use courses or performance support; this doesn't have to be either/or. The answer is to use both courses and performance support, depending on the learner and organization needs.
When do you use a course as a solution versus performance support? How do you determine which solution (or combination) is the best path? Let me know in the comments.
Previous Do People Need to Learn, or Can They Look It All Up?
Thanks for this post. As you suggest, much depends on your definition of a course. If a course is an experience – such as a chance to practice something you might do on the job, then it can help build capability. A course should never be 'content dumping'. Sadly, many are. Organisations should think carefully about whether they want to build capability in pursuit of performance. Resources and guidance (performance support), will usually be a more efficient and less costly way to deliver performance, fast (See Atul Gawande) – however they usually actively reduce learning and capability. In a changing environment, with shorter tenure and competition for skilled labour, performance support is often the competitive solution: GPS has transformed taxi-driving after all. Resources are the first step towards automation, so courses are something of a 'luddite' approach. Finally there are still some situations where you might want to build capability through designed experiences – you wouldn't sail a catamaran using YouTube for example.
The problem with many courses is that they're content dumps, as you said. Diagnosing the problem correctly is important here: the problem isn't that it's a course, it's that it's poorly designed.
Performance support should also be part of the mix too. We shouldn't assume that a course is always the solution, but we shouldn't assume that performance support is always the solution either.
That's the problem I have with you saying "courses are something of a luddite approach"–that tells me you have already made up your mind that the solution is ALWAYS performance support before you diagnose the problem. That's just as problematic as saying that courses are always the solution.
Why not look at the actual problem and then decide if a course or performance support or some other organizational change is the solution?
For me, a course needs to have an organisational principal. A 'content dump' therefore is not a course.
You could have a well-organized content dump that was completely passive. It would still be a course, just not as effective a course as one that included practice activities. I think having an organizational principle is part of what makes a course effective, but not part of what defines a course. Courses can absolutely be ineffective–that doesn't make them cease to be courses.
A car with a dead battery won't run, but it doesn't cease to be a car until the battery is replaced. The car is just broken and in need of repair. Similarly, courses that are broken or ineffective don't cease to be courses. They're just in need of improvement or replacement.
We design all sorts of learning interventions, but our engagements with clients often start out with a discussion of how much training time they have available. It is not an easy conversation when this is how they budget, but the reality is that this is sometimes the right approach and sometimes the wrong approach. Every situation is different and there are times when bringing 25 people into a classroom to learn something together and to interact is key. As the content experts and the learning experts we need to be ever mindful of our limited ability to know what learners really need to know and do to be confident employees.
The Five Moments of Need framework can be extremely useful as an approach to workplace learning. However, I often see the mistake that learning designers (and sometimes stakeholders) look at the five moments, and decide on ONE to address a situation. Most business problems are complex. You need to change how you operate in order to solve a problem by applying new skills you learn AND using old skills or knowledge in a different way. Picking one need and creating a course to address a complex situation may not result in the desired outcome.
That's an excellent point, Zsolt. Even if a problem is a New skill to start, employees will probably need more support later at Apply, Solve, or Change. A course can be a critical part of the formula to get people ramped up quickly, but it should be part of a larger solution with multiple components, especially when the problem is complex.
