I joined the School of Education at Durham University in 2018. Prior to this I was Senior Research Fellow in the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of Warwick, where I completed my PhD and Research Excellence Academy Fellow in the Research Centre for Learning and Teaching at Newcastle University. I have worked on a range of projects funded by the ESRC, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and the Nuffield Foundation amongst others and carried out research consultancy for organisations including Nord Anglia Education Ltd and the Bridge Group.
Drawing on my multi-disciplinary background (anthropology, literary studies, sociology) my work focuses on a broad range of areas linked to educational identities, progression, and contexts. My research is characterised by an anti-reductionist stance to educational questions, emphasising the importance of evaluative dimensions of education such as the affective, ethical and relational. In my research I am often concerned to foster dialogue and integrated theorising across domains and approaches, as one route to linking social, philosophical and policy concerns in education. My research experience to date has led to particular areas of expertise in educational inequalities and social mobility, gifted education and academic ability, and out of school learning. I am also interested in intergenerational transmission and lifelong learning, especially in terms of pedagogies and learning theories concerned with critical thinking and transformative learning.
I have a particular interest in the epistemic and methodological affordances of narrative and auto/biographical approaches to educational questions. I am a member of the Scientific Committee of the Life History and Biography Network of the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) and I created the NCL+ Advanced Award in Digital Storytelling at Newcastle University. A major current project (EIT Health, 260 342€) A Narrative Approach to Improve Citizen's Ageing and Well-being, uses narrative-based learning in the field of healthcare education. This European consortium has recently been awarded funding for a further year until December 2019: https://www.eithealth.eu/ccentre
Information for prospective doctoral students
I welcome enquiries from potential postgraduate research students interested in any of these areas: sociology of education, social inequalities/widening participation to university, social mobility and intergenerational transmission, psychosocial theory, epistemology of educational research, gifted education and academic ability, education policy, narrative-based learning and inquiry, adult and lifelong learning, healthcare education.

Only 18 days left in Miami.
I am looking forward to surrounding myself with a new culture and a different way of life. I hope to get the best out of this experience and learn to be the best version of myself. I look forward to success, and most importantly freedom to do as I please. I look forward to traveling everywhere I can. I look forward to new adventures and new friendships.
I will certainly post about my day to day as I figure my way around Spain and it's wonderful people.

Asus, as part of its CES 2017 showcase, has unveiled the world's first professional, direct-lit, LED 4K UHD HDR monitor.
Named the ProArt PA32U, the monitor also delivers a peak brightness of 1,000cd/m2, which is achieved by a series of 384 LED backlit zones. In addition, the PA32U utilised quantum dot technology, a fact that allows it to deliver an incredibly wide colour gamut.
Another quality of note is the PA32U's brace of Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, which deliver speeds up to 40GBps and support USB3.1 Gen 2 and DisplayPort 1.2.
Full details of the system can be found on Asus' official website.
In addition to the ProArt PA32U, Asus also revealed a second monitor, the Designo Curve MX38VQ.
As you would guess from the name, the MX38VQ is a curved 37.5-inch IPS monitor which, as well as delivering an ultra-wide QHD resolution of 3840 X 1600, also packs a Qi wireless charging pad on it stand and features 8-watt stereo speakers incorporating Harman Kardon and Asus SonicMaster audio technologies.
No prices or release dates have been confirmed for either monitor so far.

Saudi Arabia – Wind of change in the desert kingdom will create new business opportunities
Posted in Car Manufacturing, Country Information, Entertainment, Government
Saudi Arabia has for decades been one of the world's most culturally austere and restrictive countries, not allowing gender mixing, concerts, and cinemas, amongst others. However, the government's Vision 2030 reform program is set to return the country to a more moderate Islam, diversify the economy and reduce the country's dependence on oil by growing sectors like entertainment, arts, tourism and culture.
This liberalizing reform drive has already opened the door to concerts, comedy shows and women drivers over the past year. From June 2018 women will be allowed to obtain driving licenses and drive cars. The old laws that have severely limited women's movements without the consent of a male guardian will also be relaxed. Women will no longer need permission from a legal guardian to get a license and will not need a guardian in the car when they drive. The female part of the Saudi population will also be allowed to attend sports events.
Additionally, in December 2017, Saudi Arabia lifted a 35-year ban on commercial theaters. The government approved licensing regulations for cinemas, opening the door for companies to apply and start operating in the kingdom, as the country eases social restrictions.
Creating new sectors is expected to employ young citizens and open up Saudis' cloistered lifestyles. It is also an indication of the declining influence of the country's conservative religious leaders. The reforms have already sparked interest from international and regional entertainment operators, keen to tap into the spending power of the young people who make up roughly 70% of the population.
The enforcement of these reforms could change the negative face of Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism into a positive one and could demonstrate Wahhabism as the symbol of Islam that is facing the new needs of its communities. However, according to organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, this is just one step, and that there is still plenty to be done to put an end to discriminating laws and practices. It is still to be seen if the "Moderate Islam" can create political development and democracy and if Saudi Arabia can transform into a truly tolerant country.

One Out of Five Critical Illness Insurance Claims Are Denied: Which Changes Should Insurers Make?
The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) has recently published a study that it conducted with the largest active insurers in the Quebec insurance industry, entitled "Critical Illness Insurance Supervisory Report"1 (hereafter the "Report").The study reveals surprising statistics that have led the AMF to issue recommendations for changes to critical illness insurance: Insurers must try to better explain insurance products to consumers in order to help them better understand the policies they are buying.
Critical illness insurance is insurance that consumers can purchase for themselves or a loved one.
It provides for the payment of a sum of money should the insured suffer from a critical illness that matches the definition set out in their insurance contract. The illnesses that are typically covered by this type of insurance are cancers (at a life-threatening stage), heart attacks and strokes.
In general, the following principles apply to critical illness insurance:
Each policy has a list of illnesses it covers.
An insurance policy may also specify exclusions to covered illnesses.
When an insurance policy covers a critical illness and no exclusions apply, it may have other conditions such as a waiting period2 or a survival period,3 which can vary from one insurance policy to another.
AMF findings
The AMF found that insurers deny one out of five critical illness insurance claims.
In its Report, it notes that, in general, consumers face several issues with critical illness insurance, both in terms of understanding the product and with its purchase. These issues appear to result from the lack of information, clarity, support and consumer understanding.
Covered illnesses and their characteristics differ from one product to the next and from one insurer to another. This makes it hard for consumers to easily compare available products.
Moreover, the language used to describe products and draft policies is often complex.
Insurance policies also contain many limitations and exclusions (such as pre-existing conditions) and various time limits that can be hard to grasp.
AMF Recommendations
Based on its findings, the AMF has developed five recommendations for insurers, and it expects insurers to apply corrective action. For the time being, the AMF does not intend to apply sanctions, but says that it will "take appropriate action when required."4
Avoid situations where prepared materials and advertising result in confusion for consumers or in an incorrect understanding of the product
Insurers must exercise care in how they use statistics and slogans in their materials and advertising. The AMF believes that certain forms of advertising can lead consumers to misunderstand the provided coverage because of statistics and slogans that are broader than the actual coverage set out in a contract.
Insurers must keep to information that is relevant to the actual features of the product offered. The AMF insists that "it should not appear to consumers as if the product covers more than it really does or as if they require more insurance than they really need."
Better help consumers properly understand the product
An insurance policy may cover different illnesses and may contain varying features. The vocabulary used in critical illness insurance contracts is often technical and specific to medical and insurance fields.
Insurers should provide relevant and complete information written in accessible language to avoid confusion with the insured.
The AMF suggests that insurers make tools such as guides, glossaries, summaries, illustrations and timelines available to help consumers better understand the features of their insurance policies, the scope of their coverage and any limitations, exclusions, time limits, and so forth.
Provide insureds with post-purchase assistance
The AMF indicates that support after purchasing critical illness insurance is key to help the insured better understand their rights and obligations and when to exercise them.
It suggests that insurers implement post-purchase information communication mechanisms, such as making information available on a secure website, periodic statements or reminders of options that can be exercised.
Better equip the distribution channels to appropriately advise their clients
The AMF stresses that the various distribution channel stakeholders must be able to provide clear and relevant information to the insured over the entire lifecycle of the product.
To do so, insurers should improve their training programs and provide appropriate reference tools to their distribution channels, which could include product features, the target client group for each product and a comparison with other types of products to assist customers in making choices.
Facilitate the claims, complaint examination and dispute resolution processes
Insurers must ensure that they provide sufficient information to the insured and fairly process claims.
The AMF suggests that insurers make claims processes and claim forms easily accessible on their websites. The reasons for denying a claim should also be clearly explained in the letter to the insured, and the letter should outline the next steps, such as the opportunity to request a review or to file a complaint.
Insurers offering critical illness insurance products should implement the recent AMF recommendations to better inform consumers on their rights and obligations and on products offered and the coverage they provide. By implementing the AMF's suggestions into their critical illness insurance activities, insurers will not only reduce the claims denial rate in the industry, but also avoid potential litigation.

The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy: The Canada Revenue Agency takes action
In response to the pandemic, the Canadian government launched in the spring of 2020 the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (the "CEWS"), a program that provides employers with a subsidy based on the remuneration paid to their employees and income they lost during the pandemic. Section 125.7 of the Income Tax Act (the "ITA") sets out how the subsidy is to be calculated, and likely caused problems for those who had to interpret this ambiguous provision without supporting doctrine or jurisprudence. For instance, calculating the "qualifying revenue," which is central to the CEWS calculation, involves many nuances. As an example, it requires that an entity's revenue during qualifying periods be estimated and that certain items be excluded, such as "extraordinary items," a term new to the ITA. The calculation of "eligible remuneration," another important component of the CEWS calculation, also has a number of peculiarities, such as the inclusion of remuneration for related and managerial employees. The Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") now has taxpayer's CEWS calculation in its sights. The CRA began auditing CEWS claims and issuing notices of assessment to taxpayers in an effort to reduce the amount of CEWS originally granted. With reductions in pre-pandemic period qualifying income or the inclusion of items that taxpayers had initially excluded in their qualifying period income, such assessments are likely to have a significant impact on the CEWS amounts to which taxpayers were entitled, especially for companies with a large number of employees. In specific cases, the CRA may also impose penalties which can be as high as 50% of the excess subsidy claimed. Although the time limit for amending CEWS claims has expired, submitting a fairness request to amend a previously filed claim may be possible in some circumstances. Moreover, when notices of assessment are issued, a notice of objection may be filed to contest the adjustments made by the CRA. It is important to keep all documentation related to the calculation of the "qualifying revenue," your employees' remuneration and any other accounting documents to support the CEWS amounts claimed. A proactive approach and early intervention in a CEWS audit will not only result in a more favourable outcome in a given case, but will also prevent many back-and-forths with the CRA. Lavery's tax law team is familiar with the CEWS program and its intricacies, and can assist you should you be audited or should you receive a notice of assessment from the CRA.
Clarifications regarding insurance products offered on the Internet
In early 2022, the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") conducted specific consultations on financial products offered on the Internet. Further to these consultations, the AMF published explanations on the Regulation respecting Alternative Distribution Methods (the "RADM") in late December 2022.1 Here are some key points that the AMF has clarified: Definitions The AMF has elaborated on the meaning of certain terms and expressions included in the RADM, thereby clarifying the obligations incumbent on firms as concerns insurance products offered on the Internet: "Providing" or "presenting" information: This implies delivering, giving or handing over information to a client without them having to take any action. A client should not have to search for the information to find it. As such, making the information accessible or referring to a policy is not enough.2 "Making visible at all times": The information should be visible to the client at all times, regardless of the page the client is on. A representative's contact information is the only information that must be visible on the digital transactional space at all times. Websites that are accessible to people who are blind or use a voice assistant must also have means to present this information.3 "Making a representative available": The AMF only requires that representatives be available during regular business hours.4 "Making information readily accessible": A client must have the option of taking cognizance of the information and be able to easily find it. The information must be accessible in one or two clicks. Including a hyperlink or an icon, for example, are ways of making information accessible.5 Under this obligation, a hyperlink may be used to redirect a client to a website or document external to the digital space.6 External documents that are accessible through hyperlinks, such as sample insurance policies, must be up to date. Summary of the complaint processing policy The AMF specifies that the summary of the complaint processing policy referred to in the RADM must be that of the firm running the transactional website, not of a third party. Thus, a property and casualty insurance brokerage cannot refer to an insurer's policy summary.7 Identification of the firm A firm may display partner logos on its digital space only if doing so does not cause confusion. A client must know which firm runs the space and must be able to distinguish it from partners that do not offer the products or services.8 Product coverage, exclusions and limitations Further to its supervisory activities, the AMF has confirmed that product coverage appears to be well presented in digital spaces. However, exclusions and sometimes limitations are not as well presented. Given that exclusions and limitations constitute information that is necessary for a client to make an informed decision, the AMF urges firms to pay attention to these and to select them based on a proper analysis.9 Suspension of transactions The AMF has clarified how to apply the criteria under section 14 of the RADM, more specifically paragraph 3 of this section, which provides that a firm must suspend a transaction initiated through a digital space when no representative can immediately intervene with a client who asks to deal with a representative and there is a risk that the client will not be able to make an informed decision. The AMF specifies that it is up to the firm to assess and manage its risk. In order to determine whether such a risk exists, the AMF has proposed the following solutions: The firm may caution the client as follows: "Do you wish to continue the process even though no representative is available at this time?" The firm could post its representatives' availability. If a client decides to enter into a contract through a digital space, the firm could ensure that a representative contacts them within 24 hours. A transaction does not have to be suspended immediately; it can be done at the end of the transaction, before the contract is concluded. Moreover, stopping or temporarily suspending a transaction may also be necessary if a contradiction or irregularity in the information the client provides could lead to an error.10 The digital space must be set up to detect such a contradiction automatically. The AMF considers it preferable to discontinue a transaction if contradictions are detected. It can also be temporarily suspended while the client is informed of the consequences of making false statements and the importance of knowing their entire situation, for example, and to allow them to make corrections, if necessary.11 To better understand the obligations of the RADM, we invite you to consult our bulletin Bill 141: Checklist on insurance products offered via the internet and distribution without a representative. These are only available in French at this time; Regulation respecting Alternative Distribution Methods, CQLR, c. D-9.2, r. 16.1. Autorité des marchés financiers, Explications à l'égard du règlement – Le RMAD expliqué article par article (hereinafter the "Explanations"), ss. 7, 9, 11, 12 and 12.2. The terms "explaining information" or "providing information" under section 12.1 of the RADM should be interpreted in the same manner. Explanations, s. 8. Explanations, s. 8. Explanations, ss. 8 and 10. Explanations, ss. 8 and 10. A representative's contact information does not have to appear on external documents and websites at all times. It is important to note that under section 9 of the RADM, a document that is to be "provided" or "presented" to a client cannot be located on an external website. Explanations, s. 8. Explanations, s. 8, para. 1. Explanations, s. 9. For example, a client declaring they have no children yet selecting insurance for their children constitutes a contradiction. Explanations, s. 14.
Patent applications and processing times – What's right for you
Part 1: Four reasons to slow down and four reasons to speed up the process Part 2: Slowing down the process (CA, US, EP, PCT) Part 3: Fast track (CA, US, EP, PCT) Part 1: Why slow down or speed up the process? Slowing down the process Why would anyone want to slow down the process when it already usually takes several years for a patent to be issued? Cash flow Uncertainty for competitors Possibility of changing the scope Possibility of filing a divisional application In some cases, cash flow may justify spreading expenses over a longer period of time. Keeping an application pending longer may also be beneficial from a business perspective. In fact, it could create uncertainty for competitors, who cannot easily determine the scope of the exclusive right that may be granted to you. Moreover, claims are easier to amend while the application is pending. Lastly, filing a divisional application is usually only possible when the parent patent application is still pending. Speeding up the process If slowing down the process is so advantageous, why speed it up? Proof of patentability before expanding the patent application family Monetary valuation or capital raising Proceedings before the courts Strong negotiating position After filing a priority application, the applicant has 12 months to file corresponding applications in other countries. Filing abroad can entail considerable expenses. It may therefore be advantageous to obtain results quickly so you can make the best decision about filing applications in other countries. An issued patent is a far better indication of a technology's value. This can have a major impact on a company's valuation and, at the same time, allow for additional capital to be raised. Moreover, filing a patent application will not prevent infringers from marketing your technology; you may only commence proceedings in front of the court with an issued patent. The possibility of instituting legal proceedings could drastically change the tone of negotiations with your competitors—and sometimes your suppliers, too. Strategies and costs Special provisions exist to speed up and slow down the process in many territories. For the purposes of this exercise, we will discuss patent applications in Canada, the United States and Europe. We will also look at international patent applications, namely PCT applications. Part 2: Slowing down the process Canada With regard to slowing down the process, the simplest strategy in Canada is to wait before requesting examination as much as possible. While the provision for this has changed over the years, applicants now have four (4) years from the date of filing a Canadian application to request an examination. For PCT national phase entry, Canada allows an extension of the standard 30-month time limit to up to 42 months under certain conditions. However, examination request dates and maintenance fees remain the same. Therefore, this is beneficial in the short term only. For each examiner's report (also called office action), it is possible to request an extension of the time limit by two months before the original time limit expires. This request must be accompanied by the late fee and is only accepted under certain conditions. The other option is to not reply to the examiner's report and to wait until the application is deemed abandoned. The application may then be reinstated by filing a response to the examiner's report and paying an additional fee. It is important to note that a Canadian application is no longer eligible for accelerated processing if an extension of the time limit was obtained for it or it was reinstated. Furthermore, while an application is abandoned, and even if it is later reinstated, third parties could obtain certain rights to the technology. United States In the United States, an extension of time fee may be paid at the same time as the reply to an examiner's report is filed. However, the maximum time limit must not exceed six (6) months. It is also possible to file a request (or petition) for the suspension of the time limit for replying to an examiner's report (by paying the relevant fee, of course). This request is only acceptable under certain conditions and cannot exceed six (6) months. Similarly, a request may be filed to defer the examination of the application, which may delay examination by up to three (3) years after the priority date. Once again, certain conditions must be met and there is a fee to pay. Europe As is the case for Canada, for each examiner's report, a request can be made to extend the time limit by two (2) months before the original time limit expires. However, unlike in Canada, there are no fees or conditions for this request to be accepted. The other option is to not reply to the examiner's report and to let the application lapse. The application may then be reinstated by filing a response to the examiner's report and paying an additional fee. As for the 10-day rule, it will continue to apply until November 2023. This rule, which was established at a time when communications were still sent by mail, provides that a dated communication is deemed to have been delivered ten (10) days after the date of the document—the time limit is therefore automatically extended by ten (10) days. All things considered, the elimination of this rule is a plus in helping prevent various communication problems. PCT When it comes to slowing things down, the PCT application itself may be used to slow down the process. In fact, the international patent application system provides allows a decision on international applications to be made as late as 30 months from the priority date. The PCT system is based more on the reservation of rights than on slowing down the process. Nevertheless, both from cash flow and filing strategy standpoints, the longer time limit for making decisions may be beneficial. Summary–slowing down the process CA: Postpone filing the Canadian application or entering the national phase. Push back the examination request. Apply for an extension of the time limit. Do not respond, then apply for reinstatement. US: Pay time limit extension fees. Submit a request to suspend processing. Submit a request to defer the examination. EP: Apply for an extension of the time limit. Apply the 10-day rule. Do not respond, then pay the fees to have the application reinstated. PCT: Take advantage of the 30-to-42-month extension for each country. Part 3: Fast track Canada Of course, the best way to speed up the process is to request an examination as soon as possible and, above all, not put off replying to the examiner's reports received. After requesting an examination and before receiving the first examiner's report, it is possible to request that the application be processed expeditiously. The request requires that the Canadian application be published and it may be subject to a number of conditions. An applicant whose rights may be prejudiced by the examination time limit can pay an additional fee to expedite the process. When a patent application relates to so-called green technology or the COVID-19 pandemic, the notion of prejudice does not apply and no fee is due. Speeding up the process is also possible by taking advantage of the outcome of a corresponding application in another jurisdiction deemed credible by the Canadian Patent Office (e.g., Europe, United States, Japan, etc.). This is referred to as a PPH (patent prosecution highway) request (the French translation by "autoroute de traitement des demandes de brevet", while quite accurate, is rarely used). United States Those who have the means to do so may pay an acceleration fee when filing the application in the US. The intent is then to complete the entire process within 12 months. The ability of the US Patent Office to meet the expectation is also taken into consideration before accepting the request. Special treatment may also be requested for a patent application where the health or age of one of the inventors warrants this. Such a request may also be made when the technology in the patent application is "green" or relates to "counterterrorism." The US also takes part in the PPH system, and the decision made regarding a corresponding application in another jurisdiction can also help speed up the process. Evidently, it is important not to delay replying to the examiner's reports received, no matter how else you may choose to accelerate the process. Europe The European Patent Office accepts PPH requests and also offers the "PACE" programme, which helps speed up processing times (search and/or examination) without any fees or specific conditions other than responding to examiner's reports in a timely manner. The European Patent Office's ability to handle the requests is also taken into account. PCT Quickly completing national phase entries (i.e., well before the 30-month time limit) makes it possible to proceed faster with the substantive examination in each jurisdiction. During the international phase of the PCT, attempts can be made to move the process along before entering the national phase. This procedure often dubbed as a "Chapter II request" does not guarantee that time will be saved, but certain questions may be anticipated thus avoid multiple delays in front of different examiners. Summary – speeding up the process CA: File the Canadian application or enter the national phase as soon as possible. Make the examination request as soon as possible. Respond quickly to examiner's reports. Request accelerated processing based on PPH, green technology, COVID-19 technology or possible prejudice. US: Pay acceleration fees when filing. Request accelerated processing through the PPH system. Respond quickly to examiner's reports. Submit a petition to make the application special (on the basis of age or health, green technology or counterterrorism technology). EP: Request access to PACE programme. Request accelerated processing through the PPH system. Quickly respond to examiner's reports. PCT: Enter national phase as soon as possible. Apply for examination under "Chapter II."
The return of Christmas parties: what employers need to know
After two years of navigating COVID-19, the end of 2022 will be an opportunity for employers to organise larger activities for their employees, such as Christmas parties. The purpose of this newsletter is to make employers aware of their obligations during the holiday season festivities. Below, we will address the following three issues: industrial accidents, disciplinary measures and psychological harassment. Although Christmas parties are generally held outside of the workplace and outside normal working hours, an incident that occurs on such an occasion may qualify as an "industrial accident" within the meaning of the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases.1 Courts will consider several factors in weighing whether or not such an incident will constitute a work-related accident, including the purpose of the party, the time and place where it was held, whether or not it is organized and financed by the employer, and the presence or absence of a relationship of subordination at the time of the incident. None of these factors are decisive: they serve as a guideline for the tribunal. As many decisions have both granted2 or rejected3 claims in such circumstances. In one case where a Christmas party had been organized by the employer and was intended to encourage a sense of cohesion and belonging amongst the employees, an injury to the coccyx suffered by an employee while dancing with a co-worker was qualified as an industrial accident.4 However, in another case where an employee was injured on an escalator while escorting a drunken co-worker after a Christmas party, the tribunal ruled that the female employee had not suffered an industrial accident due to the absence of authority exercised by the employer at the time of the fall and also because the event was only intended to permit colleagues to fraternize and spend time together and not to improve the work environment.5 In the context of its management rights, an employer may, in certain circumstances, discipline an employee for behaviour which occurred during a Christmas party.6 The degree of the employer's involvement in the organization of the party and the private nature of the party are important factors in determining whether the employer is justified in imposing disciplinary measures in such a context. For example, an arbitrator upheld the dismissal of an employee who repeatedly hit a colleague and former spouse during the employer's Christmas party held on its premises.7 The fact that the violent acts were committed during a party rather than in the direct context of work was not considered a mitigating factor. This disciplinary power is part of the employer's obligation to ensure a violence-free workplace. This obligation has gained in importance since the recent addition to the Act respecting occupational health and safety8 of the employer's obligation to "take the measures to ensure the protection of a worker exposed to physical or psychological violence, including spousal, family or sexual violence, in the workplace".9 In another case, the arbitrator concluded that the employer could not discipline an employee for acts committed at a Christmas party organized and entirely financed by the employees and which took place outside the workplace.10 On another note, a single act of serious conduct at a Christmas party may constitute psychological harassment. A complaint for psychological harassment was upheld against an employer in a situation where the owner had touched the breast of an employee by slipping an ice cube into her sweater.11 This contact, a single gesture, was qualified by the arbitrator as serious conduct amounting to psychological harassment. The arbitrator also concluded that excessive alcohol consumption had no mitigating effect on the seriousness of the act committed. Sexual comments, forced touching and kissing by an employee during the Christmas party were also deemed to constitute psychological and sexual harassment by the courts justifying, in certain circumstances, dismissal.12 Conclusion In light of the foregoing, an employer must exercise caution and adopt measures to reduce the risks associated with the organization of Christmas parties, given that they may be held responsible for accidents or various acts or behaviour that occur during such gatherings.

Tampons Found To Contain Carcinogens
85% of tampons tested in a new Argentinian study contained glyphosate.
"The vast majority ‒ 85 percent ‒ of tampons, cotton and sanitary products tested in a new Argentinian study contained glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, ruled a likely carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
Meanwhile, 62 percent of the samples tested positive for AMPA, glyphosate's metabolite, according to the study, which was conducted by researchers at the Socio-Environmental Interaction Space (EMISA) of the University of La Plata in Argentina.
All of the raw and sterile cotton gauze analyzed in the study showed evidence of glyphosate, said Dr. Damian Marino, the study's head researcher." said rt.com
"Eighty-five percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and sterile cotton gauze the figure was 100 percent," Marino told Télam news agency. An English translation of the Télam report can be found here. The products tested were acquired at local stores in Argentina.
"In terms of concentrations, what we saw is that in raw cotton AMPA dominates (39 parts per billion, or PPB, and 13 PPB of glyphosate), while the gauze is absent of AMPA, but contained glyphosate at 17 PPB."
"The results of the study were first announced to the public last week at the 3rd National Congress of Doctors for Fumigated Communities in Buenos Aires.
"The result of this research is very serious, when you use cotton or gauze to heal wounds or for personal hygiene uses, thinking they are sterilized products, and the results show that they are contaminated with a probably carcinogenic substance,"said Dr. Medardo Avila Vazquez, president of the congress.
"Most of the cotton production in the country is GM [genetically modified] cotton that is resistant to glyphosate. It is sprayed when the bud is open and the glyphosate is condensed and goes straight into the product," Avila continued.
Marino said the original purpose of his research was not to test products for glyphosate, but to see how far the chemical can spread when aircraft sprayed an area, such as cropland." said rt.com
"There is a basic premise in research that when we complete testing on out target we have to contrast it with something 'clean,' so we selected sterile gauze for medical use, found in pharmacies," he said
"So we went and bought sterile gauze, opened the packages, analyzed and there was the huge surprise: We found glyphosate! Our first thought was that we had done something wrong, so we threw it all away and bought new gauze, analyzed them and again found glyphosate."
"Argentina has had a tampon shortage in recent years based on the country's policies concerning imports and foreign currency, according to reports in January. Most of the nation's tampon imports come from Brazil, Miguel Ponce, head of the Chamber of Importers, told AP. Those tampons include American brands, such as OB and Kotex.
In 2014, 96 percent of cotton produced in the United States was genetically modified,according to the US Department of Agriculture.
In March, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a "probable carcinogen," as opposed to its previous designation, a "possible carcinogen."Transnational agrochemical giant Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, of which glyphosate is the main ingredient, is sprayed over genetically modified crops ‒ which Monsanto also produces ‒ that are engineered to be resistant to the powerful chemical. Used the world over, glyphosate, which Monsanto first developed in 1974, is a broad-spectrum herbicide used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses known to compete with commercial crops. GMO seeds have caused use of glyphosate to increase immensely since the 1990s, according to US Geological Survey data." said rt.com
"In the US, the herbicide has been considered safe since 2013, when Monsanto received approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for increased tolerance levels for glyphosate. In its original assessment, the federal regulator said glyphosate could be "used without unreasonable risks to people or the environment."
Scientific studies have linked the chemicals in Monsanto's biocides to Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, autism and cancer. Furthermore, as the most powerful multinational biotech corporation today, Monsanto has drawn the ire of farmers and consumers for its firm grip on the global food chain. The company's control and advancement of GMO seeds is of prime concern, as they symbolize the company's consolidation of agricultural processes.
The effects of biochemicals on wildlife, including pollinators such as honeybees and monarch butterflies, are also a point of concern. For instance, since 1990, about 970 million of the butterflies – 90 percent of the total population – have vanished across the United States, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. At least part of the blame rests on the boom in Roundup use. The herbicide is marketed to farmers and homeowners as an effective method for eliminating plants like milkweed, so it's widely blamed for decimating the butterflies' only source of food in the Midwest.
Two-thirds of European Union nations have requested allowance to ban GMO crops, pursuant to European Commission rules." said rt.com

Speaker Paul Ryan Paul Davis RyanAppeals court rules House chaplain can reject secular prayers FEC filing: No individuals donated to indicted GOP rep this cycle The Hill's Morning Report - Waiting on Mueller: Answers come on Thursday MORE (R-Wis.) has backed down on his controversial decision to dismiss the House chaplain, saying he will let Father Patrick Conroy stay on through the rest of his term.
Ryan said in a statement Thursday that he has accepted a request from Conroy to rescind his resignation letter, which Ryan had asked the chaplain to submit.
"I have accepted Father Conroy's letter and decided that he will remain in his position as Chaplain of the House," Ryan said. "My original decision was made in what I believed to be the best interest of this institution. To be clear, that decision was based on my duty to ensure that the House has the kind of pastoral services that it deserves."
Ryan's decision to force out the chaplain against his will ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill last week, with some members calling on Ryan to reinstate Conroy and others questioning Ryan's motivation behind the move.
The Speaker has said he asked Conroy to step aside because some members complained that their "pastoral needs" were not being met.
Conroy wrote in a fiery letter to Ryan earlier Thursday that he did nothing to deserve being pushed out last month and wishes to remain at least through the end of the year, when his term expires.
"I have never been disciplined, nor reprimanded, nor have I ever heard a complaint about my ministry during my time as House chaplain," Conroy wrote in his letter to Ryan on Thursday.
"It is my desire to continue to serve as House Chaplain … to the end of my current two-year term, and beyond, unless my services are officially terminated (however that is properly done) or I am not reelected to the position by the membership of the House," he wrote.
Conroy also said in the letter that Ryan's chief of staff Jonathan Burks approached the chaplain last month requesting his resignation on behalf of Ryan, himself a Catholic.
Burks pushed back against Conroy's assertion, saying he remembers the conversation differently.
"I strongly disagree with Father Conroy's recollection of our conversation," Burks said in a statement. "I am disappointed by the misunderstanding, but wish him the best as he continues to serve the House."
The decision to let Conroy stay on will likely help tamp down the controversy surrounding the chaplain's ouster.
Ryan also said he plans to meet with Conroy next week.
"I intend to sit down with Father Conroy early next week so that we can move forward for the good of the whole House," Ryan said in a statement.
While Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) applauded the move, the House Democratic Caucus chairman said he still wants answers about how the situation was initially handled, to prevent a similar incident from ever happening again.
"Father Pat has served the House honorably for more than seven years, and I'm glad that he will remain the House Chaplain. Still, because there are conflicting reports and questions left unanswered, we need a full understanding of what happened," Crowley said in a statement.

Q: Growth Increase by type in Python I have a dataset, df, that I wish to calculate the growth increase by the type:
location   size     type     date

ny         5        hello    10/01/2020
ny         7        ai       10/02/2020
ny         8        ai       10/03/2020
ny         6        hello    10/04/2020
ca         15       cool     10/05/2020
ca         10       name     10/06/2020
ca         5        name     10/07/2020
ca         16       cool     10/08/2020

Desired output
location  type    increase   percent_increase     start_date    end_date

ca        cool    1           6.67%               10/05/2020    10/08/2020
ca        name    -5         -50%                 10/6/2020     10/7/2020
ny        hello   1           20%                 10/01/2020    10/4/2020
ny        ai      1           14.28%              10/2/2020     10/3/2020

This is what I am doing:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])

df1= df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key='Date', freq='7D')).sum()

df.groupby("type")["location"].()

df1['percent_increase'] = df1['Value'].pct_change().mul(100)
df1['increase'] = df1['Value'].diff()

I am not getting my desired output. Any assistance is appreciated.

A: I think what you are looking for is:
df.groupby('type')['size'].agg(lambda x:(x.iloc[-1]/x.iloc[0]-1)*100)

Of course, you can add the rest of your desired columns to this.
output for your example:
ai       14.285714
cool      6.666667
hello    20.000000
name    -50.000000

The second week of the 2021 legislative session is done! Here are MHRN's updates on legislation we follow and action items you can take.
This weekend, you can write to support some important legislation that addresses the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and people, help stop harmful legislation targeting transgender youth, and support your local board of health.
It's easy to contact your legislators about these issues!
CALL (406) 444-4800 to leave a message for your legislator. Switchboard hours are 7:30am-5pm, Monday through Friday and during Saturday sessions.
EMAIL using this form. Click here to look up your legislator.
Here are the most pressing issues for next week!
NO on House Bill 112 and House Bill 113
Hearings on these bills are scheduled for 8 am on Monday! Please contact the House Judiciary Committee and your legislators to tell them to vote NO on HB 112 and HB 113. Montana Free Press did an excellent article highlighting the need to defeat these bills.
MHRN is hosting a phone bank to prevent HB 112 and HB 113 from becoming law. We will be calling Montana citizens and encouraging them to talk to their legislators to vote NO on HB112 and HB113. The phone bank will take place Wednesday, January 20th, from 3PM -5PM. Click this link to sign up!
If you are unable to make calls next week, feel free to sign up for another time at this link by clicking "sign up to make calls."
Why HB 112 is harmful
This bill would prevent transgender and nonbinary youth from participating in school sports under the guise of protecting women's sports. Full text here
Excludes trans women, two-spirit, and non-binary youth from team sports
Allows cisgender athletes to sue the school if transgender athletes participate
Could open the door for invasive physical checks for all student athletes
Applies to athletes in elementary school through the collegiate level
If legislators want to effectively support women's sports, they should increase funding women's sports instead of singling out transgender youth.
This bill would prevent transgender youth from receiving medically necessary and affirming health care, which would be devastating. Full text here.
Youth would be prevented from receiving necessary care
Health care professionals would be fined for providing the standard of care for youth
Legislators would be determining health care access, not physicians
Studies show that when transgender youth are able to access medically appropriate medical care, suicidality drops by 70%
NO on SB 67, HB 144, HB 121, and HB 145
There are four bills we need to reject in order to keep militia ideology from creeping into Montana law.
Please tell your legislators to vote NO on SB 67, HB 144, HB 121, and HB 145. (Click on the bill numbers for full bill text.)
MHRN opposes these bills because they follow strategy that gives more authority to county elected officials, who may be more easily influenced by militia and so-called "Patriot" group supporters.
Why these bills are harmful
SB 67 and HB 144
These bills will lend a sense of legitimacy to militia ideas about sheriff supremacy, which posits that sheriffs can decide which laws they want to enforce.
Militia activists like Ammon Bundy and his People's Rights group have been trying to recruit sheriffs to their cause during the pandemic by encouraging them to refuse to enforce public health measures to slow the spread of COVID.
Gary Marbut of the MSSA has made repeated attempts to get Montana sheriffs to endorse this anti-government notion that sheriffs can decide which laws they enforce. Militias like the Oath Keepers constantly try to recruit sheriffs with the same idea.
HB 121 and HB 145
As we've seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, we need nonpartisan public health professionals who follow evidence-based science making the decisions that keep people safe.
Both of these bills weaken the authority of county health boards and officers by allowing them to only make recommendations for public-health measures. Instead, county commissions would be given final approval. These bills take these decisions away from people with specialized knowledge and expertise and leave it up to politicians. This will only further politicize decisions around public health.
Anti-government groups have routinely pushed for exactly this type of shift to give more power to the county commission, which they view as the highest legitimate level of government. These two bills would help prop up their notion of county supremacy.
Action items for SB 67, HB 144, HB 121, and HB 145
SB 67 passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, so it's time to call your Senator and tell them to vote NO.
HB 144 is very similar to SB 67 and was heard yesterday, but no action was taken. Please contact House Judiciary this weekend, because they will probably act early next week. Tell this committee and your representative to vote NO.
HB 121, the County Commission bill, was heard by House Local Government Committee on Friday. Contact House Local Government Committee and your representative and tell them to vote NO.
HB 145 has a hearing scheduled for January 19 in the House Local Government Committee. It is similar to HB 121, so the talking points are very similar. Please tell the House Local Government Committee to vote NO on HB 145.
Click here to send an email to these committees or your legislators.
YES on SB 4, HB 35, and HB 36
Western Native Voice is asking for support on these bills to help end the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people in Montana.
SB 4 (click for the bill's full text) will extend the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Task Force in Montana. This task force helps law enforcement take steps towards solving many of the MMIP cases in Montana. By asking Senators to vote yes on SB 4, we can help make Montana communities safer for Indigenous people and everyone.
This bill was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 10-1, so now it goes to the Senate floor. Contact your senator and tell them to support SB 4.
HB 35 and HB 36 also support MMIP efforts, and they have hearings scheduled in the House Judiciary Committee next week. HB 35 will establish a missing persons review, and HB 36 will create a missing persons response team training grant program. Please contact the House Judiciary Committee by Wednesday, January 21, and tell them to vote YES on these two bills.
We knew it was going to be tough to defeat HB 102, which would remove the requirement for Montana's current concealed carry permit process, eliminate important gun safety training, and force colleges to allow guns on campus. Unfortunately, it passed the house and now moves to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it will probably have a hearing next week. Please contact the Senate Judiciary Committee and your senator and tell them NO on HB 102.
This legislation would make it more difficult for Montanans to qualify for public assistance programs. These programs and services are essential to maintaining healthy communities and families in Montana, and making them more difficult to access would cause undue harm to low-income Montanans already struggling amidst a global pandemic.
Call your senator and the Senate Public Health Welfare and Safety Committee and say NO to SB 100.
NO on HB 136, HB 140, HB 167, HB 171
These bills are aggressive attacks on women's ability to access reproductive care. All had hearings in the House Judiciary Committee this week.
House Bill 136 would ban abortions at 20 weeks, regardless of the health of the pregnant person or fetus, and criminalize doctors who provide them. It would also potentially endanger those who seek abortions by letting courts decide whether or not to keep their names private.
House Bill 140 would require that healthcare providers record whether or not a patient chose to view an ultrasound or listen to a fetal heartbeat. This bill claims to provide women with more information but ultimately seeks to shame and dissuade them from exercising their constitutional right to abortion.
House Bill 167 would, as a referendum, put patients' health and privacy up to a vote with the ultimate goal of banning abortion altogether. This bill inflammatory language to drive a false narrative and stigmatize abortion in Montana.
House Bill 171 would keep Montanans from accessing medication abortion, delaying access to health care, and creating barriers to care — especially for those in rural areas.
Call your representative and the House Judiciary Committee today and tell them NO on HB 136, HB 140, HB 167, HB 171.

Harold Houdijk
Rotterdam, NL
Harold Houdijk is a video artist based in Rotterdam, NL. He studied and teached audiovisual design at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam. Harold performed as a VJ for more than 10 years, and worked with and for internationally renowned DJs, performing custom made visuals during their tours and other music events. ——— Next to his art, Harold also works as a freelance motion designer. After a few years of working at design agencies, he decided that he wanted to continue as a freelance designer, so as to better balance his art and commissioned work, and has been doing so ever since, for many well known international brands. ———— What is most important to Harold in his art, is to try to work without a concept, and see where the materials and tools he uses lead him. His process of is best described as never ending research and experimentation. The basis of an artwork can be something trivial like found footage, which is then moulded into shapes and colours, with the artist and his tools as filters. This way seemingly random input generates seemingly random, yet very controlled output. ———— Harold's main goal is to evoke emotions through his works, although he does not want to dictate the viewer's emotion. The end goal of his ongoing research is to create abstract 'art pour l'art' – in his eyes the purest form of art. Art that only exists to let viewers have their own personal experience.

PLoS ONE is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLoS) since 2006. It covers primary research from any discipline within science and medicine. All submissions go through an internal and external pre-publication peer review but are not excluded on the basis of lack of perceived importance or adherence to a scientific field. The PLoS ONE online platform has post-publication user discussion and rating features. PLoS ONE was launched in December 2006 as a beta version. It launched with Commenting and Note making functionality, and added the ability to rate articles in July 2007. In September 2007 the ability to leave "trackbacks" on articles was added. In August 2008 it moved from a weekly publication schedule to a daily one, publishing articles as soon as they became ready. In October 2008 PLoS ONE came out of "beta". Also in September 2009, as part of its "Article-Level Metrics" program, PLoS ONE made the full online usage data for every published article (HTML page views, PDF, and XML downloads) publicly available.

Third Chapter May 2021 Update
by Lee Walton
Core Project
It has been almost 10 months since The Third Chapter Project, Inc. became a 501-C-3. COVID-19 complicated the launch of our new nonprofit venture in Africa, but I am happy to report that this has not dampened our passion for the mission. Without the ability to travel we (along with the rest of the world) have adapted to Zoom. What has been underway is that we have been working with our Open Access partners (especially Knowledge Unlatched and their Open Research Library) to support access to quality scholarly resources. Our impact can be measured by the discoverability of almost 15,000 titles, articles, and journals in 5 countries (Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Guinea-Bissau, and South Africa). We are working with consortia to be able to track usage within the year. To date, 194 University/Colleges (including teacher colleges) are in various stages of adoption of the platform-packages we represent. This extrapolates to almost 400K students and researchers having seamless access to high-quality curated titles in humanities, social science and pedagogical theory and practice.
I am pleased to announce our new publishing partner University of Michigan Press and their new Open Access initiative on the Fulcrum platform. We will have more information as this develops. Thank you so much Charles Watkinson and team–we are so pleased to be working with you again.
OTHA
Oh, the Humanities Africa! Is our new project. We will be launching in the fall of 2021. Currently we have a subscriber list of over 2,000 and growing: librarians, faculty, and deans/chairs. This will start our subscriber base for OTHA. This newsletter will be mirrored on the existing Oh, the Humanities! format: however, content and the editorial team will be 100% African. This publication will truly be the voice of African scholars. We will have more information on OTHA as we get closer to our launch date.

It is important for parents to know that NEED is a contemporary thriller by Joelle Charbonneau, author of the testing series. It's a novel by Karen Cleveland's book review. To read the full review of Need to Know click here: It' a novel in the New York Journal of Books. Kindle Book is the place to be.
So what do you need? The NEED site will meet your inquiry in return for a job that seems insignificant. They do not believe that a Sites can help, but it could not do any harm to try it. Once she has made her enquiry, Kaylee begins to see the cost to pay to meet her needs.
Expectations that the website places on the user in return for their wishes are increasing, as is the number of corpses. Can Kaylee unveil the secret of who built the NEED net before it destroyed them all?
I' m in so much anguish. and I know what's gonna be. I' m in so much anguish. and I know what's gonna be. is being chased by a crazy dude. Sending her to trembling Maine to stay with her grandma?
Her move is meant to help her keep well.... but Zara is quite sure her mother can't handle her right now. It turns out the half-talker isn't Zara's fantasy. There is something wrong in this overslept city in Maine - not man - and all indications point to Zara.
Teens at Nottawa High School in Wisconsin are getting more involved in a socially networked site that pledges to meet their needs..... regardless of the outcomes. This exciting YA adventure story explores not only the darkness of society's mediums, but also the darkness of man's world.
REVIEW: Since I'm a little older and not a teens, I still like a good YA Fiction book. It' funny to read, good stories and interesting people. "Need " by Joelle Charbonneau definitely gave an idea of what we are. Self-interested, destitute and without understanding the distinction between a need and a need.
"Necessity " focuses on a small city in Wisconsin in the middle of the Christmas recess. All of a sudden a new online community named NEED appears and within a few short day the whole high schools are there. After you explain the difference between a need and a need, Need asks you what you need.
Kaylee is the protagonist of the story, possibly one of the ONLY schoolgirls who has a genuine need..... a cardioid for her ill little sibling. Kharbonneau took a very realistic position, the egoism of today's young people, and bound it into a film about a website that ends up terrorising a city for egoistic behaviour.
Well, I used to love Kaylee's personality because I'm connected to her. I didn't like many other personalities while I was in love with Kaylee. Some of the mum and dad didn't like it because it seemed like each of the mum and dad had a favourite kid in the book and ignored the other one. Some of the children I didn't like because I want to think that more children have a better mind on their shoulder than to do some of the things that these children do.
While I believe that children will do something they don't think is guilty, I don't think ordinary teens will do bad things for something as small as a new telephone. Not in the crowd, at least, as they do in this book. Seems natural, every single child became a psychopath, a murderer of a series because they liked to get new things.
is what has brought my ratings down to 3 stars. And I liked the storyline and some of the people. But I didn't like the overall picture. It was difficult to shock this incredible emotion between the very untypical teen age figures and a plot that I would like to believe would never really happen.
Where Charbonneau came from, showing you what everyone in the city was thinkin', but I think it would have exacerbated the puzzle if it had been a lone P.O.V. or even a two-person P.O.V.
But with the absence of realities and the rapid exchange of plot strands, I still like the book. I would probably reread it and I would definitely reread more of Joelle Charbonneau. It has a good typing technique, the storyline flowed with a beginning, a center and an end that wasn't confounding, and there wasn't much skipping in the time line.
She had a very evolved personality and we knew about her and her past, but I wish we had got a little more history from some of the other personalities we've been hearing about from. To arouse your interest, if you are looking for a simple reading with some phrases, get a copy of "Need".
Your own copy of "Need" by Joelle Charbonneau TODAY is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and at your bookshop. Include it in your TO Reads and make sure you post your ratings to the writer after reading them.
