Morgan Freeman, Gerard Butler, and Aaron Eckhart's new movie imagines North Korea attacking the White House—and exploits every stereotype about the American id.
There is good in America. Our ideals of democracy, freedom, and equality have inspired nations and individuals in every part of the globe. People like Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Mildred Loving, Martin Luther King, and yes, Barack Obama, have worked and sacrificed for the cause of American anti-racism, one of our great gifts to the world. We certainly do not give enough to humanitarian aid, but we give a lot. We don't always put ourselves on the side of peace and justice, but sometimes we do, and we should be proud of those times.
I kept telling myself this, somewhat desperately, throughout Antoine Fuqua's new shoot-'em-up, Olympus Has Fallen, which is both a shameless exploration of the worst aspects of the American psyche and, in consequence, one of the most depressing and despicable films I have ever seen.
That probably makes the movie sound more interesting than it is. Trust me, there is nothing interesting about it. It is simply Die Hard in the White House. With that synopsis, you could pretty much write the script yourself. On the one hand, it's just another dumb, by-the-numbers action movie. And yet, there's something particularly, tellingly horrifying in the way it takes that dumb, by-the-numbers action movie, and turns it into a paean—or if you prefer, an exposé—of our national character.
The opening of the narrative works quickly to off a female character, knowing that there's nothing like dropping a dead woman on the screen to provide any males nearby with wounds, motivation, and depth. In this case, though, the males so provided are two: U.S. President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and Secret Service tough dude Mike Banning (Gerard Butler). Other than the tragedy that unites them and a supposedly irresistible regular guy machismo, neither of them has any particular character to speak of.
Once we have established the transcendental rectitude and sympathy of the most powerful man on earth, we can get down to hating the foreigners. Again, this is accomplished in the expected manner. Inevitably and repulsively, the film has us watch the destruction of the Washington Monument in a scene that deliberately evokes the World Trade Center collapse. More subtly, it runs the old War of the Worlds dodge, unleashing our imperial excesses upon ourselves. Long set pieces focus on airborne attackers with superior technology mowing down U.S. civilians. The antagonist is North Korea, not Afghanistan, but surely the inspiration here, at least semiconsciously, is our drone-strike program. Studiously avoiding any reference to America's ongoing use of terror bombing, we imagine ourselves as victims of our own aggression, ever innocent and powerless, and ever newly justified in violence.
The controlling paranoid fantasy here is, again, that North Korea is somehow our technological and military superior. In the real world, North Korea is nearly as incompetent as its leader is insane; it can barely fire a rocket, much less orchestrate a massively complicated, multi-stage, higher-than-high-tech (no box cutters here) split-second operation deep in the American homeland. But whatever. The main point is to somehow—anyhow—set up that Die Hard in the White House pitch, so that we can access the vast portion of the American cowboy hindbrain that spasms when we see a lone hardass struggling against the odds.
Gerard Butler is no Bruce Willis, and his character has none of John McClane's scrappy vulnerability or cleverness. Instead, the Special Forces trained Banning is simply uber-competent (because... he's America!) and unflinchingly brutal. The film is pretty much an unbroken series of low points, but if I had to pick the absolute worst scene, I would have to go with the one where Banning gleefully tortures two captured terrorists. There's no Zero Dark Thirty shilly-shallying here, no oh-water-boarding-is-just-enhanced-interrogation, or does-torture-work-or-doesn't-it. Our hero stabs one guy in the throat to get the other one to talk, then stabs the remaining fellow in the knee, all the while boasting about how the US has trained him in information-extraction techniques. The audience reaction in my theater was jubilant; people gasped and laughed as Banning stabbed the guy in the throat and then, as the interrogation got bloodier, they broke into spontaneous applause. Torture—it has to work! It's too fun not to.
And so we slog on. There are stupid bureaucrats who won't listen to our hero and waste lives needlessly. There's the traitor who spouts garbled and obviously hypocritical Occupied talking points and then meets his bloody comeuppance. There's the timed countdown to Armageddon. And, god help us, there's Morgan Freeman who, even playing the House speaker turned acting-president, remains the sad-eyed second-string retainer. Though he's introduced as being fairly hawkish on Korea, when he actually gets into that executive chair, he suddenly doesn't care about the U.S. geopolitical position, or global balance of power, or negotiating with terrorists. All he seems to care about is saving his superior. Because, even if in actual fact the US has a black president, in Olympus Has Fallen Morgan Freeman still has to play Lucius Fox, loyal first and foremost to the white guy, world without end, hallelujah.
The film winds down with an almost-but-not-quite smooch between our wounded male leads. And then finally, there's the speech—blah blah freedom, blah blah ideals, blah blah renewal. Our president is great, our military is great, and we all love America because we blow things up and murder and torture the bad guys, but only when the plot says we have to and they started it and it's not our fault. I really want to believe that America is not as smug or as stupid as Olympus Has Fallen suggests. That's why I'm hoping that the people of this great nation stay away in droves from this evil, cynical picture and its vile vision of our country.

Klassmeier (auch: Klassmeyer und Klaßmeier) ist der Familienname einer deutschen Orgelbauerfamilie in Kirchheide bei Lemgo, die zwischen 1872 und 1942 mehr als 200 Orgeln schuf.

Geschichte
Ernst Klassmeier (* 2. Februar 1840 in Talle; † 16. Januar 1926 in Lemgo) erlernte den Klavierbau bei Theophil Mann in Bielefeld und den Orgelbau bei Carl Krämer in Osnabrück. Bis 1872 arbeitete er bei Friedrich Ladegast in Weißenfels. Er entwickelte 1878 eine Form der Kegellade, bei der die Kegelventile ausgewechselt werden konnten. Dennoch hatten seine Orgeln bis in die 1880er Jahre hinein in den Manualen mechanische Schleifladen und nur im Pedal Kegelladen. Ab den 1890er Jahren setzte er im Pedal die Röhrenpneumatik ein, während die Manuale Kegelladen hatten. Nach der Ausstellung auf der Gewerbeschau in Detmold im Jahr 1881 erhielt er den Titel "Schaumburg-Lippischer Hoforgelbauer". Anlässlich seines 25-jährigem Geschäftsjubiläums verlieh ihm der Prinzregent Adolf von Lippe die goldene Verdienstmedaille. Bis zum Jahr 1900 baute er 80 neue Orgeln, die nach Rheinhessen, Westfalen, Rheinland und die Niederlande geliefert und vereinzelt auch ins außereuropäische Ausland exportiert wurden. Seinem Sohn Friedrich übergab er 1907 den Betrieb.

Friedrich Klassmeier (* 1880 in Talle; † 1943 in Lemgo) erlernte das Orgelhandwerk von Goebel und Furtwängler und machte von der weiterentwickelten Pneumatik Gebrauch. Er baute auf ihrer Grundlage zahlreiche Spielhilfen ein, wie beispielsweise die Melodiekoppel. Statt Registerwippen bevorzugte er Tasten. 1942, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod, erlosch die Firma, die im Jahr 1926 ihr Opus 200 ausgeliefert hatte.

Die Klassmeier-Orgeln zeichnen sich durch hohes handwerkliches Können aus und sind stilistisch der Romantik verpflichtet. Zahlreiche Werke gingen durch die Orgelbewegung und durch Orgelneubauten während des Wirtschaftswachstums in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren verloren.

Who said Estonians don't laugh?
It's often said that Estonians are always a kind of angry and grumpy all the time, they don't like to communicate nor smile or laugh. Or that they always argue back. Well, actually that is not true. Because I am an Estonian and I am laughing really hard right now.

Is Minecraft Good For Your Brain? Does It Make You Smarter?
By Hrvoje Milakovic / April 3, 2021 October 9, 2022
Many parents are concerned about their children's increasing playtimes leading to lethargy and perceived health problems. However, parents can make their playtime worthwhile by promoting games that offer educational benefits and encourage healthy brain activities. That being said, is Minecraft the perfect substitute? Or does it offer no additional benefit at all?
Considering the category of educational, strategy, and non-violent games, Minecraft undoubtedly offers one of the best platforms. It promotes a wide range of fundamental skills, including creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. It also complements elementary skills like reading, writing, and math.
Minecraft is the gateway for a fun-filled and engaging world that has immense potential ranging from secret block combinations to building huge skyscrapers. Not only does it offer a lot of fun for your leisure and family time, but it also has some really good benefits on offer.
Is Minecraft Good For Your Brain?
Does Minecraft make you smarter?
Is Minecraft bad for your child?
Does Minecraft Kill Brain Cells?
Gaming has often been associated with negative outcomes like indolence, poor school performance, obesity, and other unhealthy consequences. This popular leisure activity has received a lot of mixed opinions, often without any research backing them up. However, games like Minecraft, providing complete control of your journey, are creatively designed to promote healthy brain activities. This has shown some surprisingly beneficial results for your brain.
For instance, consider the recent study of Gregory Clemenson of the University of California. He and his team deduced that playing Minecraft improves long-term memory and spatial awareness. This functioning is important for cognitive development in children and task-management of adults in their daily lives. Too complex to understand all of this? Just know that if your kids are avid players of Minecraft, it's good for them and their brains!
Although there are no studies to confirm the increase in IQ level of kids by playing Minecraft. But with the amount of exploration, free-hand, and decision-making that Minecraft world has to offer, this fun-filled adventure will surely make you smarter and more creative. There are many factors involved in gaming that may contribute to making your child smart, but here the most plausible benefits of playing Minecraft:
Promoting Creativity
Minecraft is an open-world game that is famous for the immense possibilities of building almost anything that your kid can imagine. With 400 unique items and 926.1 quadrillion blocks per map, Minecraft offers unprecedented opportunities and limitless creativity in either recreating a fictional or real-world architecture or inventing something entirely new.
To demonstrate, consider 'WesterosCraft', a megaproject with the goal of recreating Westeros, the continent from Game of Thrones. The community has been working on this since 2011 and at present, they are at 62% completion. You can imagine the enormity of this project and the potential that Minecraft has to offer.
The 'Survival Mode' is one example of how Minecraft promotes problem-solving. Once the mode starts, players have to quickly figure out how to gather sufficient resources, build structures, battle with hostile mobs, and eat to survive. This mode requires efficient strategies and critical thinking to keep yourself alive in these 10-minute rounds.
Most games actively revolve around promoting problem-solving skills, but Minecraft is unique in the sense that it offers an immense amount of freedom to its players. They can set their own goals, make their own story and meet challenges in hundreds of different ways.
Minecraft is used as a learning tool in many schools. Teachers use the highly immersive game to educate students about various subjects like Maths, Physics, History, and more. This teaching methodology can help students explore, imagine, and learn differently compared to the conventional classroom.
Minecraft is definitely educational. Not only does it have a great entertainment value, but it also promotes healthy activities, teaches valuable lessons of teamwork, and boosts basic skills, so Minecraft is not bad for your child, it's a great side activity for them! However, children's playing times should be monitored and excessive gaming should be discouraged.
Teamwork and Community Engagement
Players can work together on shared servers and achieve common goals by dividing up the tasks, pooling and sharing resources, getting rid of creepers, skeletons, or zombies. They might even gather enough courage to challenge Ender Dragon and Withers.
It teaches the players to resolve their problems, communicate effectively, and become great team players. In Minecraft, everyone can also participate and engage with different communities, creating a seamless and fun-filled experience
Boosting Basic Skills: Reading, Writing, and Math
To make a TNT block, you need 4 quantities of sand and 5 quantities of gunpowder, seems easy, right? Well, there are 100s of combinations for making different recipes, and most of the kids are well-versed with many of these combinations. Similarly, the written guides and chat sections also help in reinforcing the basic skills of reading and writing.
Minecraft is like a 'Digital Lego'; it doesn't involve highly detailed graphics with complex storylines; instead, it's a 3D game where everything is made up of cubes and the whole world exists in pixelated form. Such a simple yet engaging game in fact builds up brain cells instead of killing them. Minecraft helps elevate your mood and make for improved heart rhythms, which ultimately helps relieve your stress.
Minecraft is an amazing platform for its young players to develop an interest in programming, architecture, engineering, and whatnot. It showcases the real talent of young minds, take the example of Aiden from New Mexico, the 10-year old designed a portcullis that rises automatically when someone steps in front of it. Due to Minecraft, Aiden has developed a deep interest in programming and now wishes to be a programmer.
Minecraft's immense popularity should be celebrated and not criticized as it is the epitome of fostering creativity and reinforcing basic skill sets. Minecraft's an amazing game, and anyone who has played it will surely be impressed by it.
Note that, although Minecraft offers a lot of benefits, this doesn't mean that increased gaming hours should be encouraged. Long hours of constant gaming may lead to idleness, obesity, and other health problems. Outdoor activities are also an important part of life, therefore, playing times of children should be limited and monitored.

Another trainload of newsprint coming from Russia to India
Fifty-three 40-foot containers of newsprint on way
The train started from Oktyabrskaya Railway's Nigozero station and will follow the international north-south transport corridor. Photo iStock
A full container train loaded with newsprint and other paper products from Russia is on its way to India through the eastern branch of the North-South transport international corridor, central Asian media reports quoting RZD (Russian Railways) Logistics.
The train started from Oktyabrskaya Railway's Nigozero station and will follow the international north-south transport corridor's (INSTC) eastern route via Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and then from Iran to Chennai, the reports said. Another report in Businessline said that from Iran, the consignment will follow the sea route to the Chennai port. RZD Business Active provided thirty-two 80-foot flatcars to transport fifty-three 40-foot containers of newsprint.
India had imported 1.5 million tons (MT) of newsprint in 2018-19, 1.3 MT in 2019-20 and 1 MT in 2020-21, as the Indian Printer and Publisher had reported earlier. Total consumption was 2.5 MT in 2018-19 , 2 MT in 2019-20 and 1.5 MT in 2020-21. The deficit was met through domestic production.
Another report by Statista says the value of newsprint imported to India stood at Rs 2,567 crore (US$ 980 million) in FY 2022, Rs 2,199 crore (US$ 698 million) in FY 2021, Rs 4,952 crore (US$ 296 million) in FY 2020 and Rs 6854 crore (US$ 344 million) in FY 2019. The Businessline report says this is the second such consignment from Russia to India via the INSTC. In June last year, RZD Logistics and Nurminen Logistics sent a train with thirty-two 40-foot containers from Vuosaari in Finland to Mumbai via the Bandar Abbas port.
The INSTC route, through ports in Iran and Azerbaijan, halves the transport time as it avoids the circuitous sea route through the Suez Canal. "This route option should become an opportunity to receive the necessary cargo guaranteed and on time in order to support the guidelines set by the government of the Russian Federation to increase twice the capacity of the INSTC," Russian Railways Logistics said in a press release.
Sergey Levin, deputy general director for Commercial Activities of Russian Railways Logistics told the Central Asian media in the past year, that it worked hard to make transportation along the North-South corridor an affordable and effective alternative for domestic shippers.
According to Andrey Kochkin, deputy head of the International Transportation Department of Russian Railways Business Asset JSC, negotiations are underway within the framework of the project to increase shipments on the eastern route via Sarakhs to India and Iran.

Preventive Support for Better Protection: SAP Mission Control Center 2020 and Beyond
In the year 2020, SAP Mission Control Center has undergone a significant transformation. What used to be an organization with a very strong on-site presence at many SAP hubs around the world is now fully based on remote work. But the new SAP Mission Control Center is not just a virtual replica of its physical counterpart. A renewed focus on the business-critical necessity of preventive support, combined with an updated portfolio of protective support offerings, are key characteristics of its 2020+ transformation. This transformation further strengthens an organization that stands ready to serve customers anytime and everywhere, on premise and in the cloud.
Getting Ready for Going Remote
Sometimes, one can only see the importance of a certain point in time in hindsight. Take March 6, 2020, 6:52 pm CET, for instance: It seems fair to say that few of the approximately 400 employees of SAP Mission Control Center were able to see the importance and impact of an e-mail they received at that point. It was sent by Vivian Lüchau-de la Roche, Global Head of SAP Mission Control Center, which detailed an "Emergency Plan for Remote Work". At the time, it seemed very unlikely that this global plan would ever really be needed as COVID-19 was still unfamiliar to many of us. However, only a week later, the plan was activated by Lüchau-de la Roche and has been in place ever since, requiring our staff to perform their work from the safety of their homes.
Protect. Prevent. Accelerate: Safeguarding Customers from Home
Why was it so important for SAP Mission Control Center to be prepared for going fully remote on a global scale? In a recent piece on SAP News Center, Susan Galer showed very clearly that our customers' ability to derive value from their increasingly sophisticated, hybrid SAP landscapes relies on a powerful organization that not only steps in whenever standard support processes do not suffice, but also offers a broad range of preventive support offerings that are intended to safeguard customer activities and projects and avoid critical situations in the first place. Hence, the portfolio of support offerings we use to serve customers is divided into two categories, Protect and Prevent. The support offerings in both categories work as accelerators in many ways – be it the expedited mitigation of a business down situation or the safeguarding of a go-live date. Hence our value proposition reads: Protect. Prevent. Accelerate.
The availability of an organization such as SAP Mission Control Center must not depend on physical work locations. However, it cannot be denied that the work that we do has always drawn a lot of benefit from the physical co-location of employees at the individual SAP hubs. The number of alignments made and decisions taken over a quick cup of coffee or even during a chance encounter in the hall has never been determined, but it must be high. When activated, our Emergency Plan was very clear on two things: The health and well-being of staff was the main priority while at the same time we needed to find ways to deliver on our value proposition – from home. Without taking the effects of the organization going fully remote too lightly, it can be said that both goals have been reached. The information systems, dashboards, and tools used by our staff work equally well on the huge 65-inch screens at the SAP Mission Control Center premises or on any laptop, computer, or mobile device. And while virtual coffee meetings over Microsoft Teams or Zoom are not quite the same as meeting colleagues face-to-face, our team members found creative ways to meet online, socialize from a distance, and be content with the situation as long as the coffee was real.
Being Smarter than The Trend by Preventing More
In the best-case scenario, customers would neither need a support organization nor an organization like SAP Mission Control Center. However, while self-healing software systems powered by artificial intelligence are a possibility that may be well within our grasp, it is a safe bet to say that both support and SAP Mission Control Center will be staying around for a good while. But there is one important catch here: As SAP customers continue to drive the cloud transformation of their businesses and thus increase both the power and the complexity of their hybrid system landscapes, the number of support requests may grow further. This is a trend SAP Mission Control Center intends to counter with a renewed and enhanced preventive support portfolio. In this context, several new support offerings that can be consumed by the customer engagement teams were launched in 2020.
Protecting Harder
SAP Mission Control Center is sometimes referred to as the 'last line of defense' as far as critical customer situations are concerned. The renewed focus on preventive support does not diminish the importance of the related support offerings and such a perception is especially accurate when it comes to our Business Down Support team, who are available 24×7 every day of the year. The team gets involved whenever a critical issue stops a customer from running their core business processes. It has recently been reshaped to further improve the judging process (which means faster time to action) and empower the De-Escalation Architects to fully own a customer situation and drive its mitigation.
With the current state of technology, amazing as its benefit may be, there is never 100 % uptime. Cloud incidents such as degradations or disruptions are a possibility and a reality that must be respected – by being prepared. The newest addition to our family, the Cloud Health & Reliability program, is all about detecting, correcting, and preventing cloud incidents by employing a sophisticated monitoring system. The data that this system collects identifies possible situations and aligns technical monitoring with the actual customer experience. This allows the dedicated teams to identify the reasons for any incidents on a detailed level and fully understand the situation. Only with that understanding can the SAP cloud provide the resilience our customers deserve.
Our support offerings go a long way towards preventing issues with any SAP solution. However, this is not where preventive support stops at SAP Mission Control Center. It is firmly believed by the team that every delivery of any support offering, regardless whether it belongs to the Protect or the Prevent category, provides an opportunity for learning and improvement. This is where two additional support offerings play a key role that are not actively requested by or delivered to dedicated customers. They are executed in the background for continuous improvement: Cross Issue Management and Knowledge-Centered Service.
Cross Issue Management (XIM) is based on the notion that not all error situations and software system issues are unique. It may well be that a technical solution or workaround that helps one customer to resolve a business down situation can be used to protect other customers from running into the same problem. This, however, requires a detailed analysis and internal governance model. It must be based on an approach that perceives the knowledge about such solutions as a key asset.
This is where Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) comes in, a proven methodology that aims to analyze every problem solved and extract information that can be documented, shared, and reused. Experts at SAP Mission Control Center contribute to this process by creating technical Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) that are widely used in our customer base.
The process of extracting and reusing solutions in customer support can be compared to long-distance running: the more you do it, the better and faster you get.

Immigrants & Refugees, Middle East & Iran
FCNL Statement for House Homeland Security Hearing on Refugees
By Yasmine Taeb, February 3, 2016
Statement of Yasmine Taeb, Legislative Representative for Human Rights and Civil Liberties, Friends Committee on National Legislation, hearing on: "Crisis of Confidence: Preventing Terrorist Infiltration Through U.S. Refugee and Visa Programs," House Committee on Homeland Security.
Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, and members of the Committee: I am honored to submit this testimony for the record on behalf of the Friends Committee on National Legislation.
Quakers are challenged to answer that of God in all people and therefore called to act with openness to all refugees, regardless of their country of origin or religion. The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) calls on Congress to treat refugees with the same dignity and respect and urges the Committee to support the U.S. refugee resettlement program.
Since 1943, FCNL has lobbied Congress to prevent war, protect vulnerable populations, and support effective, principled policies to help build a more peaceful world. Perhaps the most vulnerable population today is those who are displaced worldwide – approximately 60 million people and the highest numbers since World War II. Syrian refugees seeking resettlement worldwide total nearly 4.6 million with another 8 million internally displaced. Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt are currently hosting 4.45 million Syrian refugees while the United States has been able to resettle only around 2,000. Of the Syrian refugees who have resettled in the United States, 77 percent of them are women and children.
FCNL urges members of Congress to reject any proposals that would stop, pause, or obstruct refugee resettlement in the United States. The United States has a history of welcoming refugees and immigrants. Since 1975, the United States has successfully resettled more than 3 million refugees. The United States has the most secure, vetted, and robust refugee screening process in the world, which involves the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Department of Defense and multiple intelligence agencies. The entire vetting process, which includes biometric and investigatory background checks, fingerprints, photographs, and in-person interviews, takes 18 to 24 months. Syrian refugees also undergo iris scans to verify their identities and must prove that they are not affiliated with any terrorist group.
As a faith community, FCNL urges members of Congress to speak up and speak out against derogatory, inflammatory, and fear-mongering rhetoric about refugees; it has no place in response to any humanitarian crisis. FCNL unequivocally opposes any legislation or proposal that prioritizes Christian refugees at the expense of Muslim refugees and individuals from other faiths resettling in the United States. It is our responsibility as Americans to welcome those most in need, offer refuge, and lift up our shared humanity.
People around the United States are ready and willing to welcome refugees into their homes, communities, and hearts. Higher walls do not make our communities safe or thriving; building stronger bridges does. We are called as people of faith to work in community with and answer that of God in each person – we ask that Congress do the same and welcome refugees with open hearts and minds.
Legislative Director for Human Rights and Civil Liberties
Yasmine directs FCNL's work on a number of human rights and civil liberties issues, including lobbying for increased resettlement of refugees, more transparency and oversight of the U.S. lethal drones program, calling for the closure of Guantanamo, and for the repeal of the 2001 AUMF, among other issues.

European companies' business sentiment in Vietnam is at the highest level in 18 months, EuroCham's Business Climate Index shows.
The latest index (BCI), which the business group released Wednesday, is at just two points below the all-time high achieved in the third quarter of 2016.
This growing confidence in Vietnam's trade and investment environment is reflected in a six-point jump in the second quarter of this year against the first quarter.
The BCI shows Vietnam is open for business as an attractive trade and investment destination, Nicolas Audier, co-chairman of EuroCham, said in a press release.
EuroCham members reported an optimistic outlook on a range of issues, from their own investment and profit projections to workforce levels and Vietnam's economic outlook.
Over 70 percent reported a positive situation at their enterprise in the last quarter, with 62 percent describing it as 'good' and 12 percent as 'excellent'.
Looking ahead to the next quarter, 64 percent believed their business situation would be 'good' while 15 percent said 'excellent'.
EuroCham members are also optimistic about Vietnam's economic outlook, with 57 percent predicting 'stabilization and improvement' in the next quarter and 34 percent believing it would remain unchanged.
Fifty seven percent believed their business would see either a 'significant' or 'moderate' increase in staff next quarter, while 61 percent expected either a 'significant' or 'moderate' increase in investment.
Over three-quarters of members (76 percent) believed orders or revenues would see a 'significant' or 'moderate' increase in the third quarter.
For the first time, EuroCham asked members for their views on corporate social responsibility (CSR). 87 percent said CSR is important to their business operations in Vietnam. The main motivations for CSR included 'brand reputation' and 'customer/environmental concern'.
Vietnam's GDP grew by 6.98 percent between January and September, the highest nine-month rate since 2011. The economy grew by 6.81 percent last year, the highest in a decade.
The foreign sector's exports in the first eight months of the year were worth $110.3 billion, up 13.4 percent year-on-year and accounting for 71 percent of the country's total exports of $155.4 billion.


Riverside Studios in Hammersmith has chickened out of displaying an art exhibition about Coca-Cola's links to Nazi Germany. The arts centre, close to Coke's Hammersmith-based UK HQ, initially agreed to the planned show which focuses on Coca-Cola's Nazi-friendly advertising in Germany in the 1930's, including it's sponsorship of the 1936 Olympics and the invention of Fanta specifically for the Nazi market. The event was planned by campaigning comedian Mark thomas, who has been gathering material to highlight Coke's connection to more recent human rights abuses around the world. The art show, which includes work by school children as well as dozens of artists, will now open at The Nancy Victor Gallery in Charlotte Street. The Eye tried to get a response from Riverside but no one returned our call.

Curtain raised on multi-million pound plans for The Civic in Barnsley
Rebecca Ball
Designs have been unveiled for an ambitious, multi-million-pound renovation of The Civic in Barnsley. Created by the HLM Culture team, the plans will restore the building to its former glory, open up the whole building for people to enjoy and transform it into a destination for the arts.
The Civic was originally constructed in 1877 to serve as the Barnsley Mechanics Institute and Public Hall, later becoming home to a public library, shops and events space. It closed to the public completely in 1998 and wasn't reopened until 2009 with a new theatre space and contemporary art gallery. Today, it is Grade II Listed but only partly used and much of its grandeur is hidden from view.
The HLM Culture team undertook an in-depth analysis of the building's surrounding environment and context, including planned developments within the town centre to inform its design. Working closely with Barnsley Civic Enterprise (BCE) Ltd – the Trust which owns The Civic, the community and wider stakeholders, a solution was then created that would preserve and protect the heritage of the town while exploiting the potential of this hugely important community asset.
As part of the restoration, the original Victorian entrance on Eldon Street will be reinstated, complete with a new bar, box office and space to relax. The historic features of the building including the façade and canopy, will also be carefully cleaned and revealed. There will be a new Studio Theatre in a double-height space with dressing rooms and rehearsal space as well as a flexible Events Space and extended Gallery. These will open up opportunities to offer more exciting arts events, exhibitions and shows and allow for multiple performance rehearsals to take place at the same time.
Sector lead for Culture, Patrick Arends, said: "This particular project will form a key component of the wider regeneration of Barnsley and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the town to offer a greatly enhanced cultural offering. Attention to detail was paramount as was a collaborative and inclusive approach, benefiting from the history, knowledge and aspirations of the many stakeholders involved. The end result is a space to be proud of, which places local people at its heart, allows it to become a home for art and culture and ensures its longevity as a financially viable, sustainable centre fit for the 21st century."
Helen Bell, CEO The Civic Barnsley said: "Our redevelopment plan is designed to create an arts centre that is accessible for all; a central events venue that everyone can enjoy. People will be able to come and see shows, enjoy exhibitions, attend dance classes and much more."
Plans are currently developed to concept stage and require both planning permission and significant investment from public funding bodies to be secured. The total cost of the scheme is anticipated to be around £7.2 million.
£1.6 million for the Barnsley High Street Heritage Action Zone funding is expected to be confirmed in February, which will enable the work planned for the front of the building on Eldon Street to be completed.
While a significant challenge for a small charity, BCE hopes that fundraising through charitable grants and donations will raise the balance needed. It also plans to involve the local community, inviting them to see the plans, share their memories of the centre and their hopes for its future.
Steve Wragg, Chair of Trustees said: "We are at a really exciting position at The Civic, ready to move forward with our expansion to complement the work on the new Town Centre. We look forward to using the whole building to deliver a programme of work that the people of Barnsley will connect with and enjoy our growth with us."

As our name clearly indicates, the Canadian Centre for Progressive Policy is committed to helping Canadians develop policy alternatives grounded in progressive and liberal values.
We focus on ten broad policy areas. All of our commentary, publications and events are driven by our desire to advance a progressive agenda in these key areas.
Does Canadian society fully appreciate why Aboriginal People face the serious inequality that exists today? How do we as a society move towards a more equal society? By respecting treaties, which are living documents; and by working towards the advancement especially of Aboriginal people.
Canada has been a world leader of peace and advancement—recall peacekeeping forces, the Kyoto and the land mines treaties, and the Responsibility To Protect (R2P), among many others. Looking to the future, how do we restore Canada's good name and work with the nations of the world towards international peace, progress and security?
A wide range of issues relate to Canadian values: bilingualism, multiculturalism, gender equity, cultural policy, sports, tourism; essentially those things that define our values and identity as both a people and country.
Canada has one of most stable democratic systems in the world. Yet despite being the envy of many, the system is beset with challenges: poor voter turnout, electoral fraud, inadequate representation. A crisis of confidence hangs over Canadian democracy. How to turn things around?
In an increasingly uncertain world, our economy has been doing well compared to many other countries. But the middle-class has been losing ground and inequality continues to grow. Young people must be able to step into the workforce; trade needs to be diversified. Overall, Canada's economy needs a retool to ensure a better future for its citizens. How to attain these objectives?
We use energy all the time and we know its use often harms the environment. Climate change is real, despite the posse of deniers. Our future depends on making wise energy choices and advancing balanced sustainability.
As a country of immigrants—and with future population growth dependent upon newcomers—immigration is an issue essential to Canada's future. Family and economic streams have been the main pillars of our immigration system. So what's the best balance for the future? And how can Canadians help other countries understand more about the movement of peoples the world over?
The digital world is at the core of the future of our society. Canada can be a leader worldwide, we have been in the past. And we can be doing more to ensure that our all Canadians, especially young people, are much more digital friendly. Is a third official language is needed?
A viable public health care system is a basic value in Canada. But the costs continue to rise, as does the overall age of our population. So how do we make it all work? What's the role of different levels of government in providing social services?


Discussion in 'American Politics' started by Sjatov's Avenging Angel, Apr 9, 2019.
Allowing extras to work for free and reducing movie copyringhts to 20 years woould mess with the ability of the current studio system to preach their values or qoute unqoute values.
I legit think it could lead to a more ideologicaly diverse entertainemnt landscape.
They had everything 2 years ago in terms of legilsative power.
Because Hollywood has a monopoly on entertainment.
Was Netflix Hollywood when it started?
If actual rich people would put real money to decrease the dominance of the Progressives i fail to see why it could not succeed.
If Americans were as open minded as they were during the 50s and 60s about foreign movies the woke gang could only preach to a much smaller audience.
If they would do it at all.
Maybe if the conservatives were able to make their stuff entertaining, they wouldn't need legislative support to prop up their boring moralising and virtue signalling.
You mean we shouldn't take away legislative support helping the progressives?
Why do you think people you label as conservative can only make boring stuff?
I could go and on.
All your progressive press raved about the movies of Carig S Zahler and is probably one the most cretively free new filmmakers.
I don't trust your experience.
And how are those "conservative" movies?
American Sniper is an anti-war movie, I doubt that's very conservative, is it?
The discussion isn't about movies where some conservatives are working, it's about movies with a conservative theme, because your beef seems to be with movies showing "progressive values".
Right /=/ conservative and i talked about diversification.
Why cannot that be right wing or conservative?
What kind of values would you like to see displayed more in movies to diversify?
May want to check the numbers on that one: Avengers, American sniper.
That's not reflective of how movies are actually made.
Why pick on the least powerful and worst paid? Is that really your "conservative values" allowing desperate, out of work people to be exploited?
As far as I know, the only thing stopping "allowing" extras from "working for free" is the union, the Screen Actors Guild. If producers want to hire their friends, family, dependents and people off the street to "work for free", they can, but there is no assurance that the same people will reliably show up, looking the same, day after day.
Now there's a great conservative value - union busting to exploit the working poor.
I was going say the same thing.
Why not give the movie industry, especially the owners/corporations a HUGE tax break? While doing that, remove all of the safety regulations as well.
That's conservative thought to spur investment and innovation, isn't it?
The fact is, however, that the "having everything" idea is an illusion. Yes, the President was a Republican and both houses of Congress had a Republican majority. However, some of these people were adamantly opposed to the President and some at least of the Republicans in both the House and Senate were determined not to cooperate with the other elected membrs of their party. IF the GOP had, in practice, the unity that the other party has, it could have done great things; but it did not have that unity.
Still in all, they were able to cooperate on some matters and it is, therefore, a shame that they did not turn more aggressively, while there was time, to other matters when it became known that they could not work together on some of their headline issues.
A lot of rich people support progressives.
Conservatives will never win the entertainment culture war.
And conservatives are the ones financing these "evil liberals," since they're also seeing their movies.


Serena Williams returns the ball in her semifinal match of the French Open against Netherlands' Kiki Bertens in Paris.
PARIS – Two years ago at the French Open, Serena Williams was stunned in the second round by a 20-year-old opponent participating in only her 13th match at a major tournament.
That 6-2, 6-2 loss to Garbine Muguruza was, and remains to this day, the most lopsided defeat of Williams' 338-match Grand Slam career.
So guess who the No. 1-ranked Williams will face in the final at Roland Garros on Saturday as she attempts to earn her 22nd major championship and equal Steffi Graf's Open-era record?
Since that setback, Williams has won 47 of 50 matches at majors, collecting four trophies along the way to boost her total to 21. Only Graf and Margaret Court, with 24, own more.
Williams moved one victory from Slam title No. 22 – including her second in a row at the French Open – by getting past a poor start and beating Kiki Bertens 7-6 (7), 6-4 in the semifinals Friday. The No. 4-seeded Muguruza advanced by eliminating 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur 6-2, 6-4.
It's also a rematch of last year's Wimbledon final, which Williams won in straight sets.
On Friday, the women's semifinals were played simultaneously in front of similarly empty stadiums, Williams vs. Bertens at Court Philippe Chatrier, Muguruza vs. Stosur at Court Suzanne Lenglen, where tickets were available for 20 euros ($22). Afterward, in the men's semifinals, No. 1 Novak Djokovic neared his fourth straight Grand Slam title – and first at the French Open – by topping No. 13 Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, and No. 2 Andy Murray defeated defending champion Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 to become the first British man in the final in Paris since 1937.
Because repeated rain sabotaged the schedule and eliminated the usual rest time at a major, Saturday will be Williams' fourth consecutive day on court, and Muguruza's third. Williams also acknowledged having "some issues" with a leg muscle, although would not elaborate.
Under a full cover of clouds and with the temperature in the 50s (teens Celsius), Williams made 22 unforced errors in the first set alone.
Bertens smacked big forehands, creating outright winners or forcing Williams into mistakes, and broke in the very first game on the way to a 3-1 lead. Ahead 5-3, Bertens earned the first of two set points, but her forehand let her down, pushing the ball into the net.
Bertens, who entered her first Slam semifinal on a 12-match winning streak, was dealing with an injured left calf, which was heavily bandaged. She decided to play only after a warmup session 1 1/2 hours before the semifinal.
With that in mind, Williams began using drop shots to great effect. She won four points that way in the first set, including one that finally produced her initial break point, cashed in for 5-all.
Leading 7-6 in the tiebreaker, Bertens had another chance to claim the set, but again missed a forehand. Williams then drove a return winner, followed by a forehand winner punctuated with quite a yell, and the set was hers.
She fell behind 2-0 in the second, but quickly righted herself and was on her way.
If Williams says that loss in Paris in 2014 stuck with her – she has won all 13 matches she's played at Roland Garros since – Muguruza's coach, Sam Sumyk, downplayed the significance of that day.
On the men's side, Djokovic is on the precipice of history once again, reaching the final for the fourth time in five years at the only major tournament he hasn't won.
In addition to trying to complete a career Grand Slam, Djokovic will be hoping to accomplish something even more rare – winning a fourth consecutive major title, something that hasn't been done by a man in nearly a half-century.
"Best performance of the tournament," declared Djokovic after he raced through his semifinal victory over Thiem.
Either No. 1 Djokovic or No. 2 Murray will be a first-time French Open champion.
Murray had lost his previous three semifinals at Roland Garros, including a five-setter against Djokovic a year ago.
Djokovic, meanwhile, is 0-3 in title matches at the French Open, losing to Rafael Nadal in 2012 and 2014, then Wawrinka in 2015, each time in four sets. That loss to Wawrinka was Djokovic's most recent at a major.
Back in 2012, Djokovic also was on a 27-match winning streak at Grand Slam tournaments, just as he is entering Sunday. Succeed in making it 28 this time, and he will have pulled off a perfect run through the past four majors, starting with Wimbledon's grass and the U.S. Open's hard courts last season, and the Australian Open's hard courts this season.
The last man to win the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open in a row was Rod Laver, who took all four titles in 1969.
Laver is one of seven men who have managed to collect a full set of trophies from all four majors over the course of a career, a group that includes Djokovic's contemporaries Nadal and Roger Federer.
Djokovic did not need to contend with either of them during this tournament: Federer withdrew beforehand because of a bad back; Nadal pulled out after the second round with an injured left wrist.
And now only Murray stands in Djokovic's way.
He thrived in it, never allowing the 22-year-old Thiem — "a leader of a new generation," Djokovic said — to get a foothold in his first Slam semifinal.
Over on Court Philippe Chatrier, Murray had more trouble against Wawrinka, but just barely. Murray broke early in each of the first two sets, and again to lead 1-0 in the fourth.
Never forced to deal with the sort of deficits that saw him taken to five sets in each of the first two rounds, Murray soon enough was into his 10th Grand Slam final — and against a rather familiar foe. They were born a week apart, got to know each other as juniors, and Sunday's meeting will be their 34th on tour (Djokovic leads 23-10), their seventh in a major final (Djokovic leads 4-2, with all his titles at the Australian Open; Murray beat him at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon).
Murray won the most recent matchup, on red clay in the Italian Open final last month.

Greek Room Committee
In 1928, a group of energized students at the University of Pittsburgh, answered the call of Mrs. Ruth Crawford Mitchell and stepped up to take on the challenge of creating the Greek Room. They enlisted regional immigrants of Greek descent, some in position of leadership of the then young – but so energetic – Greek community, to join them in this challenge. Over the next 15 years, the students, all who eventually graduated and began successful careers, with the support of the Greek community of all of Western Pennsylvania, achieved the unthinkable. The Greek Nationality Room was a reality.
These visionary individuals, with the conviction that "we" and "togetherness" achieves great feats over the "me", initiated, maintained and grew a vigorous program of intercultural involvement and exchange. A large sum, for its time, was donated to the University as an initial endowment for what would soon become a source of financial support of a program of annual student scholarship to facilitate study in a Greek academic or cultural institution, which more recently was extended to include the beautiful island of Aphrodite, Cyprus, a means of facilitating inspiring lectures, seminars, concerts, exhibitions, and social events which focus on the heritage of Greece, from its ancient times, to the more modern.
Over this time, those visionary individuals came together with members of other Nationality Room committees and people from the regional sister communities to celebrate what unites us and how Hellenism, in its universalizing embrace, shaped those heritages and cultures.
Among the notable founders are Charles T. Tumazos, Lillian Demestichas, Peter and John Antonoplos, James K. Steliotes, Dr. Stephen Pamphilis, Iro Caloyer, Peter Caloyer, Sarantis (Socrates) Lardas, Peter Demos, Thomas Birris, Peter G. Copetas, Sam Hanna, John Harris, Constantine A.Contis, George Loutsion, and the most notable of all, Nicholas Kalimerakis (Kalmer).
The Greek Room was formally dedicated on the 7th of November, 1941. It was such a glorious event. It brought together everyone in the Greek community. Led by the great Athenagoras Spyrou, the Archbishop of the then Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, a remarkable and inspiring historical figure of the Greek-American community, who would soon be elected to lead the then approximately 300 million Orthodox Christians of the world as Ecumenical Patriarch, it inspired not only the Greek community to think of the ways in which its culture could be shared with others, but also of how to bring the Greek community with sister communities.
Our Mission: To foster knowledge and appreciation of the history and culture of Greece, from ancient to modern times, among students, faculty, staff, and visitors. To sensitize about Greece's ciritcal role in the shaping of democracy, democratic ideals and the rule of law. To highlight the historical contributions of Greece to human civilization in the sciences, literature, and the arts. To remind that the central Hellenic virtues of philotimo (respect and honor of others) and philoxenia (friend of the stranger) are at the basis of Greece's intercultural thinking and evolution, and shape the way Greeks in Greece and in the Diaspora think of, and work with sister communities.
The Committee elected to serve and nurture the Mission conceptualizes and realizes events related to the history and culture of Greece, always aiming to educate and raise awareness among students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It works with a number of regional partners and entities in Greece in this regard.
The Committee also participates in the administration of the Scholarship, granted to meritorious students enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, for a summer study period in Greece or Cyprus.

The book "Forks Over Knives" does a wonderful job of performing two disparate tasks:
It provides concise explanations of why a whole-foods, plant-based diet is healthiest for people, the planet, and the animals, and It offers a wide range of amazing recipes to help people get started.
The editor pairs these tasks to perform one goal: to help people live healthier lives through their food choices.
The book does this in three parts: (i) why a plant-based diet is best for your health, the planet, and the animals (37 pages); (ii) basic facts on plant-based foods (19 pages), and (iii) recipes (133 pages). While the bulk of the book is for recipes, there is a lot of powerful information in the first two parts that has appeal for anyone from the newcomer to the most informed, with topics as diverse as the environmental impact of food choices to nutrition labels. Even after having read literally dozens of books on plant-based foods and having finished Campbell's eCornell course in plant-based nutrition, I became more informed after reading the first two parts. The third part is filled with tempting recipes from some of the top plant-based chefs who refuse to compromise on health to sell meals.
The writing style is, for lack of a better word, "comfortable". You can almost imagine yourself having a casual discussion with 11 experts on healthy eating, with insights that would surprise your general practitioner, but with language suitable for the layperson.
