I'm in TV Hell!
What in the world is going on with television these days? Hell, what's been happening the last 10-15 years? Today, NBC released it's midseason schedule and there were some surprises. Among them, Community was shelved. Yes, it wasn't a huge ratings show, but it was an intelligent, well acted show that had a small, yet loyal fan base. Prime Suspect has pretty much been cancelled and 30 Rock was given another season and moved once again to a different time slot. Let's start with 30 Rock. This show has never been a huge hit for the network but has won many awards during it's run. NBC for some reason really sticks with this show even though it has lost a step or two or three. Prime Suspect was a very interesting police drama that just never was given a chance to build its audience. It's star would have been a better draw for the coveted 18-49 year old demographic that the suits from all the networks so cherish, yet you give Harry's Law another season with an actress who I am sorry to say, looks like she's from the civil war era? Let me just say that I am no expert on the inner workings of a television network, but I am someone who admittedly watches a good deal of television. I am one of the geeky TV watchers that follow the Nielsen ratings, follow the numbers for the age demographics and always gets pumped up around pilot season. With all these years of watching television and following the industry, I think I have picked up on some things and learned a few of the tricks that are used in the TV industry. If you want to look at what's wrong with the industry, just take a gander at what has happened to NBC. Once the darling of the networks, NBC was on top of the world in the 80's and 90's with a string of successful dramas and comedies. I like to call the 80's period of NBC domination the Cosby years. That's when the Cosby show aired and became this huge juggernaut for the network. With shows like the Cosby Show, Family Ties, The A Team, Cheers among others, the network could do no wrong. Then the 90's rolled in, hits like Friends, Seinfeld, Mad About You, Frasier and ER. NBC once again was on a roll. But as the year 200o approached, things started to change for the network. Not only were some of its big hits either gone or on their last legs, something else had been brewing for several years and it started in my opinion with MTV when they debuted the first major reality show, The Real World. MTV loved the show because a) it was cheap to produce and b) it brought in huge ratings for the network and the coveted 18-49 demographic. With this reality bug starting to spread, CBS brought in the reality series Survivor to go up against the NBC Thursday Must See lineup which for years was unbeatable. We all know the story here, Survivor became a monster of a hit and all but left the must see shows in the dust. Jeff Zucker took over as President of NBC Universal television in 2004, by then most of the networks had caught the reality bug. NBC was now in the distance compared to the other networks as far as ratings were concerned and remain there to this day. Why am I picking on NBC? I just it was an easy quick avenue to take to see what can happen when a network makes the wrong choices. No network is perfect, but the fall of NBC has been a big one and with the decisions made today, it's no wonder. Now, there is also another reason besides reality television that hurt NBC and to some extent, the other networks..cable television. In 2011, the average viewer is inundated with over 200 channels to watch any program at any given time. That's alot of shows trying to get your attention to keep the channel locked. With the rise of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, FX, USA, TNT, AMC and channels like that, they are proving you can make quality television, attract viewers and still not have to cater to the lowest denominator to keep viewers. I find myself rarely tuning into the big 3 these days for television shows. Don't get me wrong, there are a few shows that have been or are fantastic. NCIS is still going strong in it's 9th season. Supernatural on the CW network is another favorite of mine. Modern Family, Rules of Engagement, Lost, Grimm and House are some examples of shows that have kept me tuning in to regular television. It's the cable networks that I am really impressed with today. They are taking risks and gambles on shows that would never be seen on regular televisions and I find it extremely refreshing. Some of my all time favorite shows have come from cable networks. The Shield, Rescue Me, Homeland, Dexter, American Horror Story, True Blood and The Killing are shows that are willing to push the envelope and because they air on these cable stations, they are able to get away with it. Maybe some of the suits at the big 3 networks need to take a chance and push the envelope. Better yet, give a show a chance to grow its audience. If it's not a hit right out of the gate, chances are a show will not survive on a regular network past a season or two. Look at the gamble FOX took with Terra Nova. From various reports, the pilot was one of if not the most expensive pilot ever made. Big names attached to the project and a ton of money spent of special effects. FOX put the hype machine into overdrive for the series and when it debuted...it debuted to modest ratings for the pilot. Since then several episodes have aired and it consistently ends up in 3rd place for its time slot. The overall ratings are somewhere around 8 million viewers per episode and it pulls in around a 2.7 for the 18-49 demographic. Does FOX order another season of this expensive series? Or does it take the hit and cancel the show because of poor ratings? That is a decision for the suits to make. Obviously, the bottom line here is money. The networks want to have shows on their schedule that will make money. The 18-49 demographic keeps coming up over and over in this post because it is so important to the networks. Another important aspect is syndication. A network can make a ton of money when one of its series is sold into syndication. In the early days, a show would need to last at least 5 seasons to go into syndication, from what I understand now, it's 80 aired episodes. It's a shame that the dollar bill is determining the fates of some great shows that never got the chance to fully blossom. You can go to any of the major networks and just see a graveyard of shows that never got a chance. Many of them deserved to be cancelled because they were just rip offs or just plain bad, but there are always some in there that deserved a better shot then they received. As I learn more and more about the television industry, I am learning that it is a tough world and you have to have thick skin to survive. Again, these observations are from a TV fan looking in from the outside who has no true idea of the inner workings of network television. I can safely say that there have been several series that were cancelled either before they had a chance to get started or before they had a chance to finish. Two off the top of my head are Brimstone and Millennium, both from FOX. Although, Millennium did get 3 uneven, yet enjoyable seasons, Brimstone only lasted 13 episodes before the plug was pulled during production of the 14th episode. There are hundreds of stories like Brimstone over the years of network television, maybe one day the small guy will get a victory. For every Brimstone, there is a Jericho, so there is hope. I know for certain that with all the drama and chaos that comes with the television industry, it's one that still keeps me in front of my television. Allowing me to escape for just a little while and that's something that is needed from time to time. Don't you think?
A Peaceful Journey....
As I am sure most of you know by now, rapper Heavy D (real name Dwight Errington Myers) died after complaining of flu-like symptoms at the age of 44. It's a huge loss for the hip hop community because Heavy D was not your typical rapper. He was able to be influential with his music without falling into the traps of the rap game. He didn't rap alot about being a playa, having tons of money or using foul language on his records. He did what he did because he loved hip hop and wanted to make a lasting contribution. From 1987 through 2008, Heavy D released eight albums...many of them going gold and/or platinum. He had the respect of many in the hip hop community for his accomplishments in the rap game, but Heavy was much more than a rapper. He built an impressive resume of film and television acting credits. From TV shows like Roc, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Boston Public, Bones and most recently Law & Order: SVU. He also appeared in such films as Life, The Cider House Rules, Step Up and his final role in the recently released Eddie Murphy/Ben Stiller comedy Tower Heist. Speaking from a personal perspective, I was a big fan of Heavy D and truly respected the work that he did. Knowing he didn't have to follow the same type of path that many rappers did to become successful. Heavy D never let the fact that he was an overweight man stop him from doing what he loved. Hell, you can watch many of his videos from the past and he's dancing right along with the other people in the video with no problems. Wherever you are Heavy, we thank you for your contributions to the entertainment industry. You were a definite role model for many and you will be missed. I hope you have a peaceful journey....

Q: C++ - invalid initialization of reference of type 'node*&' from expression of type 'node' I was doing some list exercises but for some reason the compiler notice some problems about the struct node type, but i can not see what is the problem.
I declared normally node structure, in the addNode(node *&, int) function i use a
pointer by reference of node type for modify the list in the main and a integer for save in the node
#include<iostream>

struct node
{
    int data;
    node *next;
};

void addNode (node *& ,int);

int main()
{
    node list;

    addNode(list, 24);

    system("pause");
    return 0;
};

But when i try to use the function in the main and compile this appear in the compiler:
exercise1.cpp: In function 'int main()':
exercise1.cpp:19:10: error: invalid initialization of reference of type 'node*&' from expression of type 'node'
   19 |  addNode(list, 24);
      |          ^~~~
exercise1.cpp:9:15: note: in passing argument 1 of 'void addNode(node*&, int)'
    9 | void addNode (node *& ,int);
      |               ^~~~~~~

A node*& its a pointer by reference of type node for modify list in the main, if i put by reference &list still happen the same error, before i use the same syntax in other exercises and working
What's happen?

A: int main()
{
     node list;

is missing a star to declare a pointer. You probably want:
int main()
{
     node* list = NULL;

*NEW* CRIMSON PEAK REVIEW *NEW*
February 12, 2016 by pmbayobale, posted in Best and worst films, Cinema, Drama, Film essay, Hollywood, horror, Horror movies, Movie review, Uncategorized
A return to form (of sorts) from the master of horror.
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author (Mia Wasikowska) is torn between love for her childhood friend (Charlie Hunnam) and the temptation of a mysterious outsider (Tom Hiddleston). Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds and remembers.
As soon as the blood soaked Universal logo flooded the screen, escorted with the creepy children's choir singing, I was transfixed. A wonderfully Gothic opening ticked all the boxes for me. Suspenseful, menacing and eerily beautiful as a young Edith (Wasikowska – Stoker) receives a spooky warning from her dead mother. The effects were fantastic.
The first act was slow burning BUT watchable as we flash forward to a now twenty something Edith striving to make a career as a writer. Dan Laustsen's cinematography was stunning to look at. It really captured the epic and lavish set designs. The Pride and Prejudice melodrama with Edith trying to avoid marriage was a little cliched and slackened the pace BUT it was entertaining enough.
Charlie Hunnam's Dr McMichael (Sons of Anarchy) was weak. I'm sure his bashful crime enthusiast was supposed to make the charismatic Sharpe look more appealing. BUT his character didn't have to be such a drip. His Sherlock inspired ramblings didn't get things going either.
As soon as the illustrious Thomas Sharpe made his introduction, my interest was properly Peak-ed. Tom Hiddleston (Only Lovers Left Alive) played the mysterious count with aplomb. Charming his way straight into Edith's heart. The whirlwind romance and shotgun wedding was a little rushed. BUT luckily there was always a bigger plan afoot.
And once Sharpe's strange sister (played by the ever talented Jessica Chastain – Mama) was brought into the mix, I was in for a suspenseful middle act. The whispering, the glances, Chastain's cold demeanour. Once her muddled English accent was tuned, she was brilliant. She worked well with Hiddleston and the pair made a notorious duo.
It was everything I expected from the moment Edith stepped foot in Alderdale Hall. A wonderfully Gothic setting. A dilapidated manor with a haunting presence complete with rotten mould, decay and dead bugs. It wasn't long (Thankfully) before things went bump in the night. It was hypnotic viewing. The mystery behind the Sharpes and the house kept me intrigued. The long Shining-esque hallways, the cold dark passages, the scuttling crimson soaked skeletons. Creepy. Brilliant.
BUT for all the mystery and suspense, I was left wanting. After all that build up and Del Toro toying with us, the big reveal was a little disappointing and predictable. Tragically, the final minutes were also a little laughable with Edith squealing and flailing around the 'Crimson Peak' estate. A shame considering the picturesque winter setting. The snow bludgeoned with crimson clay. Or was it?
The supernatural element was the redeeming feature as the ghosts desperately try to relay messages to Edith. The unearthing of the puzzle was fun enough as we tried to suss out Sharpe's intentions. A little twist about the Sharpes was certainly different BUT it only created more holes in the already wafer thin plot. It was never really explained properly. A shame after all that promise.
This is a vast improvement from Del Toro and a return to form (of sorts) after the monstrosity that was Pacific Rim and the Fringe inspired vampire TV series The Strain. Crimson Peak was a wonderfully shot old fashioned Victorian horror story. The leading cast were superb, the cinematography was to die for.
BUT the pace meandered along and the end result just didn't quite deliver a satisfying enough climax after all that promise. Watchable though.

Amber Heard lying low in a swanky multi-million dollar Mallorca villa belonging to disgraced politician
By Hanika Kashyap
Published on : 03:47 PST, Oct 9, 2022
Amber Heard, her daugher Oonagh Paige and her partner Bianca Butti have moved to a luxury villa in Mallorca where she is living under the radar (amberheard/Instagram)
COSTITX, SPAIN: Five months after the contentious defamation court case against her former husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard is now lying low in a town called Costitx situated in Mallorca, a Spanish island, away from the excitement of Hollywood. She is renting a multi-million-dollar mansion along with her photographer partner Bianca Butti and one-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige, as per The Daily Mail.
The 5,000 sqm luxury villa belongs to the family of a local politician Maria Antonia Munar, who was in prison for corruption in 2013 and was released in 2020. She also adopted an alias to enjoy life away from the limelight in the small town located deep in Meditatterean island's interior with only 1,270 inhabitants. The 36-year-old actress has been using a cowgirl pseudonym that goes by the name of American frontierswoman and sharpshooter Martha Jane Cannary or 'Calamity Jane'.
Amber Heard reportedly 'isn't paying attention' to Johnny Depp and lawyer Joelle Rich's budding romance
Amber Heard hires another lawyer amid attempts to force two insurance firms to cover her $15M legal bill
The 'Aquaman' actress was not exactly unrecognizable given how high profile her case was. However, the locals have left her alone and unbothered since they believe in 'live and let live.' They also find Heard to be "polite" when she speaks Spanish in a Mexican accent. "She is like anyone else, she buys fruit and vegetables, she speaks Spanish with a Mexican accent and she's very polite. She always says good morning to us," said a grocer.
"Everyone here treats her like one of the others; in fact, she's been in this town for months without anyone knowing," said a resident of the town toEl Mundo. Another neighbor confirmed that Heard "walks with her daughter and goes to the park" just like every other mother of the town. "She leads a very normal village life as if she were a native," said another neighbor.
The rented mansion was previously up for sale for an astonishing price of $2.8M. It comes with an infinity pool and a home movie theatre along with some of the the best views of the Tramuntana mountains. With Heard residing in the villa for the time being, the mansion has been taken off the market. There is much speculation about how much is the actress paying for the luxury accommodation.
Amber had sold her California home to pay off her debts. She also has to pay Johnny Depp a hefty amount of $10M in compensatory damages along with $350,000 in punitive damages after losing the defamation case. Moreover, her role in 'Aquaman 2' might also be uncertain. With all the odds stacked against the actress, she has asked the judge to toss the jury's verdict as the judgment was not supported by evidence, as per NY Post.

Q: Delete on windows vista and seven -- discovery process I've recently encountered a problem. Using svn at work I needed to clear some space.
As you may know svn directories are full of sub-directories and files.
So the delete process begins with a step of discovering the items to be deleted (I guess this is for displaying the progress bar).
But in my case it ended up to be still running after I watched Braveheart (Off-topic: good film in my opinion. On-topic: and it last 2h50) and counting 440 000+ files.
I finally decided to cut off the process and use the good old cmd with a del <directory> to do the job. (Done in some minutes)
So I'm wondering if someone know how to override the system to make it actually begins the process while scanning the other items? At the end, I just want the file to be deleted and I don't care the number of files to be deleted. On the contrary I care about the time it takes.
Thanks
EDIT 1 :
It seems that the problem may have something to do with Indexing and windows search.
I found someone talking about unchecking the "index this folder" here and also two articles on how to disable the windows search to solve SU and other
But no official explanations.
EDIT 2 :
Tested the deactivation of windows search service. Lowers the time of discovery, but don't disable it.

I have a few thoughts I have been thinking about that I would like to share. let me know what you think.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again, what been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Revelations 11:9 And they of the people and kindred's and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And that no man might buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
We are going to go through a quick trip through history and the bible The world was created Genesis and we all did what we thought was right in our own eye and god was not please and god destroyed the world with a flood. Save one family Noah. After the flood in Genesis 9 God told the family to spread and multiply upon the earth the in Genesis 10 we see that is not what has happened Man sets in the plain of Shinar and builds the plain the tower of Babal and god confuse all language and man splits up. At this time communication is word of mouth.
Now at this point nations start to Rise up in history God choses his people from Abraham who will be the slaves of Egypt for 400 years. Egypt was the seat of power during this time a couple of items to note the Egypt's created pyramids and hieroglyphics also in the Americans the mynas had the Rosetta stone but all still all communication was word a mouth on perpys. Also Egypt Created Mummies. Some things we still cannot create today. So Pressing on Israel is saved my Moses and starts towards freedom receive the 10 commands but not a lot of printing press so they all have to gather and the word is recited into memory and tradition all the way through the creation the of Israel through the Judges and The Kings. During this period we have Israel doing good and bad but more on the bad until god has enough and splits the county into two Israel and Juda then He sends both of them in to slavery to Babylon Still communication is at best Witten and moving forward. But God has pity on Israel and restores it. Has a few Minor Prophets Old Testament shuts.
Time dose not you have the End of the Babylon 619 BC for the Persian which end 331BC for the Greek end 146AD But Rome Starts 146AD and the New Testament opens And still The world communicates the same way But there is a change god completes some prophecy and makes more and stars the church thru out the book of acts. History and the bible close without an AMHEN in ACTS and John the Revelator adding revelations. But somehow the Rome empire close out destroyed Israel destroyed around 390AD and The world goes through the Dark Ages from around 500Ad to 1000AD controlled in the background by what is left by a very powerful Roman Catholic Church Science communication and the ability to read and make life easy are very restricted and also a lot of pelages are also brought about.
But something happed European countries started to get a back bone and started expanding and thinking for themselves the top three are Spain France and England. There was an expression the sun never sat on the British Empire at its highest point. There was a man Christopher Columbus in 1492 proved the world was round and the race was on to expand and take up the most land.
Still communications was slow at best. But in July 4, 1776 something new happened a new event happened the U.S was formed A constitution and a bill of rights founded off the bible this had not happened before Not saying mistakes were made Indians were wrongfully killed the Triangle Slave Trade from 1441 to 1888 From Africa Where tirbes would sell weaker tribes to slavers then sell to us then boats would collect the money from sales and taxes to Europe. In between all of this we had The Industrial revolutions in the US 1820-1840 this caused great movement in the It even spread up communication By introducing the telegraph and the printing press now you could send letters in a day and now everyone could have a book if they wanted. All this caused the first war for slavery ever on 1861 US Civil war. This would not only lead to changes for the skin tone but also later on Gender. But the world healed and kept progress Israel still broke but progress slowed down westward expanse and small conflicts keep happening in the European countries. Which then lead to the First WWI in 1914-1918 which also led to real use in flying which was invented 1902 by the wright brothers. That was the war to end all wars . But the great depression of 1929 hit and this was used as a catalyst to try to wipe out a specify race the Jews because the followed good business sense and may have help the almighty but WWII was now in full swing 1939 to 1945 but something happen after this in 1948 Israel was recreated as a way to say sorry But it had backing form the US and other nations. One note of observation The hard nations to start a Church in for the longest time and to get the holy ghost to move in was Germany. There had to be a lot of repentance before god would move there again.
But with all that said lets look at the cell phone how do people talk they text and with emjoes jut like the Egypt used hieroglyphics. God advised that we say the time before NOAH is all about SIN but it may also be about Langue being reversed and Towers being built. The book of Revelations talks about the whole world seeing in all languages The world has spent so much money on communications in the 30 years and built speed and wifi 6 we will move forward. God also warn that we are building Towers of enterprise and God is watching. There are more billionaire now then there are any other time in history 2,745 per Forbs.
So the real matter is we look up for big signs and I know they are all important but As in the Days of NOAH They could all talk to one another we are going back that way we are building towers they may not be physical but we are reaching levels we think have never been seen but they have been before and God may come sonner that you think and look aging.
Sometimes we think the book of revelations is all about Gods wrath with is true it says so but some of it is him sting back and no longer applying the mercy and grace. And just like in say he will allow we to know and not die and be the gods we wished to be and we can't die. All those moments we saw lead to this point and going forward will only lead us to one of two roads. Where will you chose.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A historic bond swap aimed at reducing Greece's crushing debt and averting default looks promising, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Thursday.
In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS television, Lagarde said it appeared the participation rate of private creditors in the restructuring deal would be high.
"As we speak, it looks like it's going through, and it looks as if the numbers will be promising," Lagarde said.
Lagarde also said she believed the risk of an acute crisis in the Euro zone had been removed for now. Investors have worried the Greek crisis could lead to broader problems for other debt-heavy countries, including Spain and Italy.
The IMF has called on Europe to build a strong financial firewall to prevent the crisis in Greece and elsewhere from spreading.
The IMF board will discuss a second bailout for Greece on March 15, which is part of a 130 billion Euro rescue package for Athens being arranged by the IMF and the European Union.
Global stocks posted their best day in more than two months on Thursday as the threat of an immediate and uncontrolled Greek default receded.

South Carolina Senate Panel Advances $1 Billion Tax Cut
First steps forward on something resembling substantive tax relief …
by Will Folks March 8, 2022 March 12, 2022 0
FeaturedHarvey Peelersouth carolina senatetom davis
The largest of three proposed tax cuts by South Carolina "Republican" leaders took a major step forward when it unanimously cleared the Senate finance committee on Tuesday.
For years, this committee was a graveyard for tax cuts … but all of that changed last fall when fiscally liberal senate leader Hugh Leatherman passed away.
New chairman Harvey Peeler has made it clear he intends to move the Palmetto State in a different direction … although the bad news is there is a lot of ground that needs to be made up.
Like, a lot.
(Via: FITSNews/ YouTube)
Peeler's proposal would start the process by slashing the state's punitively high top marginal income tax rate from seven percent to 5.7 percent – immediately. That cut, which would apply to 2021 income, is significantly deeper than the incremental reduction which passed the S.C. House of Representatives earlier this year. The House measure would cut the top marginal rate to 6.5 percent immediately and then trim another half-percentage point over the next five years.
Given the tax relief passed in South Carolina's neighboring states – and the massive amount of surplus money at lawmakers' disposal this year – neither proposal is blowing my skirt up.
Still, Peeler's allies praised his leadership on the issue …
"Senator Peeler is clearly determined to put his own stamp as Senate finance chairman on our state's fiscal policy — one with a clear preference for leaving more tax dollars in people's pockets," senator Tom Davis told me. "One of the most striking things was the unanimous vote in favor of making tax cuts that were unthinkable in prior years past, which speaks to the respect he has in the Senate and his ability to lead."
A senior member of the finance committee, Davis has been tapped by Peeler as the floor leader on the tax cut bill (S. 1087).
"He also wants to enact other tax reforms next year, too; nothing is off the table, as he thinks spending is too bloated and our tax code too uncompetitive," Davis added. "What you're seeing here is a willingness to engage in macro economic policy with an eye toward making the state more competitive and South Carolinians more prosperous."
Peeler will need to keep the pedal to the floor if he hopes to achieve those objectives, because his current offering fails to hit the target.
In previewing Peeler's proposal last month, I noted that "anything short of an immediate two percentage point reduction in the state's onerously high top marginal rate is going to be insufficient in light of the massive tax cut North Carolina is currently implementing."
The need to "go big or go home" is even more pronounced in light of runaway inflation and huge spikes in gasoline prices.
And remember, South Carolina has never been competitive on income levels … which further underscores the need to (at the very least) catch up with what our neighboring states are doing.

In a region where corruption is endemic and the rule of law is rare, Thailand faces a momentous decision: Should it remove its popular prime minister because he did not publicly disclose all of his vast wealth?
In an emotional speech Monday to the Constitutional Court, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra conceded that he may have made an "honest" mistake in underreporting his assets and urged the judges not to strip him of his post.
The question of Thaksin's fate has absorbed the country in recent weeks and prompted an outpouring of support for the mega-rich prime minister. Many Thais hope that he will use his business savvy to lead the country out of a four-year economic slump.
Widespread corruption contributed to Southeast Asia's 1997 economic collapse, from which many countries have yet to recover. But financial disclosure laws still are rare in the region, and it was considered a significant advance for democracy when one was included in Thailand's 1997 constitution.
A former policeman who got his start selling computers to his police department and later cornered Thailand's telecommunications business, Thaksin is accused of hiding some of his assets in 1997 when he stepped down from the post of deputy prime minister.
For unexplained reasons, Thaksin and his wife allegedly transferred millions of dollars' worth of shares in his company to members of his domestic staff, including his maid and driver.
Some speculate that he may have made the transfers to avoid taxes or as part of a stock manipulation deal.
Whatever the motive, the National Counter Corruption Commission charges that he did not disclose ownership of the shares as required when he filled out his asset disclosure form upon leaving his previous government post.
"I had no intention of concealing my assets," Thaksin told the 15-judge court and a packed courtroom. "There were mistakes, and they were honest ones."
Under the 1997 constitution, which Thailand adopted in an attempt to curb corruption, the mistake could be costly.
If Thaksin is found guilty of improperly reporting his assets, he could be barred from holding public office for five years and would be forced to step down from the post he won by an overwhelming margin in January.
The charismatic tycoon remains popular. In one recent poll, more than 75% of voters supported him. But even more is at stake than who will lead the country.
The high court must decide whether the constitution applies equally to everyone--or whether some officials remain above the law.
"The country is reaching a very critical moment deciding which way it will go," said Sunai Phasuk, an analyst with the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development in Bangkok.
Filing public disclosure statements is a common legal requirement for politicians in the U.S. It helps keep corrupt officials from amassing wealth while in office by requiring them to periodically report their holdings.
"We should stick to the rule," said Chaiwat Khamchoo, dean of political science at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. "The rule is good. You can't change the rule to suit any individual."
Throughout Southeast Asia, graft has played a major part in politics this year.
In the Philippines, President Joseph Estrada was impeached on corruption charges and then forced out of office in January by mass protests and the military.
In Vietnam, government graft contributed to the ouster of the country's top leader, Communist Party Secretary-General Le Kha Phieu, in April.
And in Indonesia, President Abdurrahman Wahid is likely to be removed from office this summer because of his alleged role in two multimillion-dollar corruption scandals and widespread dissatisfaction with his performance.
In December, just before Thaksin and his party, Thais Love Thais, won election, the National Counter Corruption Commission indicted him on the disclosure charge.
The commission's general secretary, Klanarong Chanthick, told the court Monday that "the evidence of intentional asset concealment abounds."
"How could he say that he didn't intend to conceal these shares?" Klanarong asked. "These maids, drivers, security guards would not have enough money to buy millions of shares."
Thaksin, one of Asia's richest men, with wealth approaching $1 billion, told the court that he "simply did not understand the asset forms" he was required to fill out.
With Thaksin's admission that he erred in reporting his assets, the public discussion has shifted to the question of what punishment the court should impose.
"If you look into the evidence, there is no other alternative for the court but to rule he is guilty," analyst Sunai said.
Some of the prime minister's backers are pushing for the court to declare that his five-year banishment from politics would be retroactive and would start from December 1997, when he signed the form, not the date on which the judges rule.
That would mean he might be out of office for only 18 months and could make a comeback at the end of next year.
In recent days, crowds have rallied in his support, Buddhist monks have chanted en masse on his behalf, and supporters have organized petition drives in the hope that the court can be swayed to be lenient. After Thaksin's televised 20-minute speech to the court, some tearfully called in to talk shows to support the prime minister.
Thaksin has appealed to his supporters to remain calm. About 2,000 pro-Thaksin demonstrators gathered peacefully outside the courthouse Monday to cheer him on.
"I gained my wealth honestly during my entire life," he told the court. "If there was some mistake, the mistake was made unwittingly."

Oil Achieves Longest Winning Streak Since October As Omicron Fears Evaporate
Meanwhile, one analyst predicts oil prices at $200 over the next five years: File Image/Pixabay
Friday's crude trading provided further evidence that 2022 is indeed a happy New Year for oil, with West Texas Intermediate closing up 2.1 percent and the commodity posting the fourth straight weekly gain, the longest winning streak since October.
WTI rose settled up $1.70 at $83.82 per barrel, while Brent settled up $1.59 to $86.06 per barrel, contributing to a near-complete clawback of losses incurred late last year due to media-fuelled fears about omicron leading to widespread demand destruction.
Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said, "The picture for oil is getting better because people are looking past the omicron variant and looking to reopening and a rebound in activity, much like we saw coming out of August."

Another bullish sign was reported on Friday with the first few days of 2022 having seen almost 500,000 contracts added to the oil market, according to Bloomberg; that's the equivalent of almost half a billion barrels, and the fastest increase since 2019.
In other oil news on Friday, sources told media that China will release crude from its national strategic stockpiles around the Lunar New Year holidays that begin on February 1, as part of a plan with other countries to reduce global prices.
As for the U.S.'s on going bid to reduce prices at the pump, the U.S. Energy Department said it had sold 18 million barrels from its strategic oil reserves to six companies, including Exxon Mobil and a unit of refiner Valero Energy Corp.
The question on Friday in the wake of another bullish trading session seemed to be, how high can crude prices go?
As far as Doug King, head of the Merchant Commodity Fund, is concerned, oil could reach a massive $200 per barrel within the next five years; he said, "We believe in structural supply-side commodity inflation that most will not have ever seen - the highest since the 1970s.
"Only OPEC will react to price metrics and they are undershooting every month."

Fav 5 Epcot {Travel Guide}
If you're new around here you may want to read the basics of Disney Parks, a Disneyland travel guide, and/or a Disney's California Adventure Park (DCA) travel guide for more Disney Magic.
Epcot is one of the 4 parks at Walt Disney World (WDW) in Orlando, Florida. It's easily recognized by the hhhuuuugggeee silver golf-ball-look-alike that is formally called Spaceship Earth. The Epcot park is focused on technology, sustainability, and International cultures.
On the list of favorite WDW parks, Epcot is second (to Magic Kingdom) for me. It's a little less Disney-magical and a little more "mature" with adventures, learning, the feeling of going around the world in a day, and the option to have an adult beverage!
Epcot Park's Centerpiece - Spaceship Earth, in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida
My Fav 5 for Epcot include:
Ice Cream Topped Croissant Donut (Cronut) in Canada - best snack ever!
The Tea Garden in the UK -
The BEST Hidden Mickey in America - a sneaky find
The Biergarten Restaurant in Germany - incredible meals and beer!
Spaceship Earth - a classic ride through the park centerpiece
The lake that's surrounded by Epcot's World Showcase, in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida
1. As you make your way (counter clockwise) around the lake/World Showcase, you'll first get to Canada. That's where you'll find the unassuming Refreshment Port. Do not pass the Refreshment Port, take your wallet and go DIRECTLY to the Refreshment Port.
The Refreshment Port opens at 11 am and, of course, has your basic snacks and beverages like chicken nuggets, ice cream, soda, milk, and bottled water. There's poutine (French fries with gravy and) topped with cheese curds and a take on a Bloody Mary called the "Stow Away Mary" that comes with blue cheese stuffed olives and chicken nuggets because, well, you're in Canada.
The real show stopper is the Cinnamon and Sugar Croissant Doughnut (or cronut) topped with Soft-serve Ice Cream for $6.49. It is a hot, layered masterpiece of crispy yet doughy pastry topped with cool and rapidly melting ice cream. It's amazing and by far the best thing I ate in Epcot. There is, however, a steep learning curve on how to eat such a monstrous treat. With 5 kids around to assist I sent them for a spoon, then a knife, and so, so many napkins. It turns out, as you'll see, the best way to enjoy this treat is with your hands! Just peel away a few layers of donut and scoop up the ice cream with it, like you're eating chips and salsa.

Wing Commander creator's game has made its Kickstarter goal with weeks to spare.
Just a few days ago Cloud Imperium Games Corporation took its space sim Star Citizen to Kickstarter, after already raising a little more than $1 million. Earlier today Star Citizen made its Kickstarter goal of $500,000. Cloud Imperium Games' personal crowd funding system continues on, meanwhile, raising more than $1.3 million of their $2 million goal at press time. As the days count down to the finale of both efforts, it seems more and more likely that Chris Roberts' "AAA Space Sim" will see completion and publishing.
Billed as a spiritual successor to Roberts' previous games, such as Wing Commander, Star Citizen intends to be a fully realized galaxy in which players can wage war, trade, and explore. Additionally, Cloud Imperium Games intends to provide weekly or bi-weekly updates to the game. The continued development of the game will not be supported by a subscription, but instead by an in-game purchase model.
The Cloud Imperium Games Corporation internal fundraiser will wrap up November 9th, and the Kickstarter will close November 19th.


Meanwhile, a complete list of those charged has just been released and we have it. Charges include Treason, Election Fraud and political elite roles in 9/11and the Benghazi Massacre, gun and drug running, human trafficking, child exploitation, kidnapping, murder and harvesting victim's organs for monetary gain.

Das Konzept Base (oder Bottom) of the Pyramid, abgekürzt BoP, bzw. Fuß der Pyramide beschreibt in der Managementliteratur Geschäftsmodelle und Ansätze zur erfolgreichen Einbindung bisher weitgehend vernachlässigter Bevölkerungsschichten in unternehmerische Wertschöpfungsketten. Als "Base of the Pyramid" wird dabei zunächst der unterste Teil der Welteinkommenspyramide beschrieben. Diese "Ärmsten der Welt" sollen im Rahmen der handlungsleitenden Elemente des BoP-Konzeptes in die unternehmerische Wertschöpfung als Kunden, Lieferanten, Distributeure o. ä. integriert werden. Grundgedanke ist, dass sich auf diese Weise die Verfolgung unternehmerischer Chancen zielgerecht mit dem Bemühen langfristiger Armutsbekämpfung verbinden lässt.

Ursprung des BoP-Konzepts und Abgrenzung als Bevölkerungssegment
Das BoP-Konzept wurde ursprünglich unter der Bezeichnung "Bottom of the Pyramid" von Prahalad und Hart, die dieses Konzept in einem Arbeitspapier aus dem Jahr 1998 einführten, geprägt. In der aktuellen Literatur ist der synonym verwendete Ausdruck "Base of the Pyramid", welcher den Sinnzusammenhang der Pyramidenbasis besser kennzeichnet, jedoch weiter verbreitet.
Die Abgrenzung dieser Basis ist je nach Quelle unterschiedlich. Gängig scheint mittlerweile die Abgrenzung nach Daten der Weltbank, anhand derer ein Zustand "extremer Armut" bei einem verfügbaren Pro-Kopf-Einkommen (gemessen in Kaufkraftparitäten) von bis zu 1,25 US-$ pro Tag  und ein Zustand "moderater Armut" bei einem Einkommen von 1,25 bis 2,5 US-$ definiert wird. Die gesamte BoP umfasst damit mehr als die Hälfte der gesamten Weltbevölkerung, manche Autoren sprechen sogar von mehr als 4 Milliarden  an der BoP lebenden Menschen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird z. T. auch ein wenig plakativ von "B24B (business-to-4-billion)" gesprochen. Eine Abgrenzung anhand solcher "Armutsgrenzen" unterliegt jedoch vielfältiger Kritik, so dass verschiedene Autoren vorschlagen, die BoP nicht über Einkommen (oder ähnliche monetäre Größen) abzugrenzen, sondern über spezifische Eigenschaften derartiger Märkte, insbesondere Subsistenz und Informalität.

Klassischer Ansatz: Die BoP als Absatzmarkt
Der ursprüngliche Prahalad-Ansatz fokussiert vor allem auf bisher ungenutzte Chancen an der BoP als Absatzmarkt. Entgegen weit verbreiteter Auffassung sei insgesamt ein unerwartet hohes Marktpotenzial an der BoP identifizierbar, welches gegenwärtig auf mehr als 5 Billionen US-$, gemessen in Kaufkraftparität geschätzt wird. Trotz vorhandener Marktchancen befänden sich die Menschen an der BoP bislang weitestgehend außerhalb des globalen Marktsystems. Dies läge insbesondere an vorherrschenden Fehleinschätzungen vor allem in wohlhabenderen Teilen der Welt. Insbesondere die Annahme, dass es an der BoP nicht genügend Kaufkraft und damit keinen tragfähigen Markt gäbe, gilt es nach Einschätzung der genannten Autoren zu kontrastieren. Sie führen unter anderem an, dass die aggregierte Kaufkraft auch armer Gemeinden Geschäfte ermöglicht, die dem Einzelnen aufgrund eines zu geringen Einkommens verwehrt bleiben würden.

Moderne Auslegung und Erweiterungen: Die BoP als Ressourcenpool
Moderne Interpretationen des BoP-Konzeptes sehen die BoP hingegen nicht nur als potenziellen Absatzmarkt am Ende einer Wertschöpfungskette, sondern als deren integrierten Teil mit eigenem Wertschöpfungspotenzial. Gerade die Einkommensverbesserung durch Einbeziehung der BoP in verschiedene Wertschöpfungsstufen – und damit mittelbar auch die Schaffung weiterer Absatzmöglichkeiten – stehen bei diesen Ansätzen im Mittelpunkt der Überlegungen. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass durch die eingeschränkte Sichtweise einer ausschließlichen Betrachtung von Absatzmärkten betriebswirtschaftliche Chancen der BoP als Ressourcenpool unbeachtet bleiben. Im Fokus solcher echten integrativen Bemühungen – als "second-generation BoP strategy", "BoP 2.0" oder "integrative BoP" bezeichnet bezeichnet – stehen die zahlreichen, an der BoP stark vertretenen kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen, denen die Einbindung in globale Wertschöpfungsketten einen Anschluss an Absatzmärkte auch außerhalb ihrer ursprünglichen Geschäftsgebiete verspricht.

Kritik am BoP-Konzept
Kritik am ursprünglichen BoP-Konzept bezieht sich häufig auf die Sicht des BoP als potenziellen Absatzmarkt; das Absatzpotenzial der Märkte an der BoP sei niedriger als berechnet. Teilweise wird auch der qualitative Vorteil des Absatzes bestimmter Produkte wie zum Beispiel Tabakwaren und Alkohol für die Bevölkerung in Frage gestellt. Auch die uneingeschränkte Verbreitung westlichen Konsumdenkens und westlicher Konsumstile könne negative Folgen sowohl für die BoP als auch für eine zukünftige nachhaltige Entwicklung haben. Zudem wird bisweilen bezweifelt, ob privatwirtschaftliche Unternehmen alleine entscheidend zur Verbesserung der Situation der weltweit Ärmsten beitragen können und ob auf dem BoP-Konzept basierende Geschäftsmodelle nicht zumindest flankierende Anstrengungen weiterer Akteure (zum Beispiel staatlicher oder zivilgesellschaftlicher Institutionen) benötigen.

Weiterführende Überlegungen, konzeptionelle Ausweitungen und empirische Relevanz
Wesentlich erweitert wurde das BoP-Konzept durch die Berücksichtigung von Beschaffungsmärkten und Produktionstätigkeiten. Insbesondere  die Kooperation mit weiteren Akteuren der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit gerät zunehmend in den Blick von Wissenschaft und Unternehmenspraxis. Die empirische Relevanz solcher Zusammenarbeitsformen wird in zahlreichen Fallstudien zu erfolgreichen BoP-Geschäftsmodellen belegt.

Verschiedene Erörterungen verknüpfen explizit privatwirtschaftliche Bemühungen um Armutsbekämpfung im Rahmen von Überlegungen zu gesellschaftlicher Unternehmensverantwortung (siehe auch Corporate Social Responsibility oder Corporate Citizenship) mit erfolgreichen geschäftlichen Bemühungen um die BoP. Neuere Forschungsbemühungen gehen zudem der Frage nach, ob und wie solche Geschäftsmodelle entwicklungs- und nachhaltigkeitsfördernd sind, da z. B. die Annäherungen an den ressourcenintensiven westlichen Lebensstil die natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen künftiger Generationen gefährden können.

Ein verwandter wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Ansatz findet sich in der Idee des Social Business. Während der BoP-Ansatz die Profitabilität entsprechender Geschäftsmodelle fokussiert, steht bei Social Business-Modellen die gesellschaftliche Zielsetzung (zum Beispiel die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen oder die Versorgung mit lebensnotwendigen Gütern) im Vordergrund. Die Zweckbestimmung liegt hier in der Lösung spezifischer gesellschaftlicher Probleme durch Reinvestition erzielter Gewinne.

Protesters hold banners as they march during a "Rise for the Climate" demonstration in Brussels, Belgium, Jan. 27, 2019.
At least 70,000 people braved cold and rain in Brussels to demand the Belgian government and the European Union increase their efforts to fight climate change Sunday, the Belgian capital's fourth climate rally in two months to attract at least 10,000 participants.
The event was described as Belgium's biggest climate march ever, with police estimating slightly bigger crowds than a similar demonstration last month. Trains from across the nation were so clogged thousands of people didn't make the march in time.
The march ended at the headquarters of the European Union. The 28-nation bloc has been at the vanguard of global efforts to counter climate change but still came in for the protesters' criticism.
"Society as a whole could do a lot more because they're saying `Yes, we're doing a lot,' but they're doing not that much. They could do a lot more," demonstrator Pieter Van Der Donckt said.


A delicious and healthy meal with easy clean up too. Wonderful with guacamole and salsa as the perfect Tex-Mex toppings!
Begin by tearing 8-inch to 10-inch wide segments of tin foil from a tin foil roll so you have four large rectangular pieces. Set these aside on your kitchen counter or a large working space.
Slice the creamer potatoes in half and add to a large bowl.
Add in the black beans, sliced bell pepper and onion, taco seasoning and salt.
Using clean hands toss together to combine everything well.
Divide the potato mixture evenly between the four tin foil pieces and pile the potato mixture in the centre of the tin foil rectangle.
Fold each tin foil piece to cover and wrap the potato mixture then fold and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Store the tin foil packets for up to two days in the fridge.
Once ready to cook, place the tin foil packet on a grill or grate over an open flame and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. The potatoes should be easy to pierce with a fork and browned slightly.
Once cooked, open the packets and top with one tablespoon of guacamole and one tablespoon of salsa each, and other optional garnishes if desired.

Q: Combining two flows of paging data before showing in UI I have this recycler view that shows paginated data with a PagingDataAdapter. It works well when making a single request to the service but I sometimes need to make two requests to get old and new events and show both in my recycler view. Is there a way I can combine the two flows of paginated data before showing them to the user? As it is, if I make the two requests, only the last one remains because of the invalidate() in the submitData method.
This is the current implementation that doesn't work the way I need it to:
   private fun fetchEvents() {
       fetchEventsJob?.cancel()
       binding.cameraVmsEventsRecycler.adapter = null

       fetchEventsJob = lifecycleScope.launch {
           cameraViewModel.searchCameraEvents(
               cameraId = videoDetector.id,
               dateTo = if(eventsByDate) "" else dayPickerDateTo,
               pageSize = REQUEST_LIMIT
               cameraViewModel.filtersApplied
           ).collectLatest { eventsCollection ->
               val events = eventsCollection.map { event ->

                   CameraEventModel.CameraEventItem(
                       VideoEventModel(
                           event.eventId,
                           event.faceId,
                           null,
                           event.state
                       )
                   )
               }.insertSeparators {
                       before: CameraEventModel.CameraEventItem?, after: CameraEventModel.CameraEventItem? ->
                   renderSeparators(before, after)
               }
               binding.cameraEventsRecycler.adapter = eventsAdapter
               eventsAdapter.submitData(events)
           }
       }
   }

Upong calling fetchEvents() with different parameters, only the last flow of data remains due to the submitData().
Is there a way I can manage to do what I want? I can't use Room in this project.

A: You are explicitly calling collectLatest: it cancels collection when new items emit. The effect is, if you suspend in the collector lambda before your call to submitData() you only get the last item from the flow.
If you want to use all items from searchCameraEvents you might need to use toList():
val flow = cameraViewModel.searchCameraEvents(/*...*/)
val eventsCollection: List<PagingData<List<Event>>> = flow.toList()
val events = eventsCollection
  // get list out of paging data
  .flatMap { it.data }
  // flatten list of lists
  .flatten()
  // map as needed
  .map { event ->
     CameraEventModel.CameraEventItem(/*...*/)
}

Mind, that you are handling paged data here. You want to make sure to keep a proper ordering. Also, if you retrieve more than one page from your flow, you're actually skipping the paging mechanism somehow. So you might also need to keep track of this in order not to produce duplicates in the UI.

Conference / Seminar
School Board Management Conference
Holiday Inn Select
970 Dixon Rd
As in past years, our 2009 School Board Conference will cover a wide variety of topics relevant to Directors of Education, Trustees, Supervisory Officers and Human Resources Practitioners. We will take you first on a "whirlwind tour" of new cases and developments, addressing such issues as student searches, employee benefits and PDT arbitration hot spots. This will be followed by two plenary sessions which will discuss in detail current developments in the critical areas of attendance management and human rights.
Following a buffet lunch we will invite you to attend two afternoon workshops of your choice. Our conference will conclude at 3:30 p.m.
Reference will be made to the newest court cases, arbitration and tribunal decisions and legislative initiatives. We will also provide practical tips for the pro-active management of a wide variety of issues.
8:30 Continental Breakfast and Registration
9:00 Opening Remarks and Welcome
9:10 Whirlwind Tour of Current Issues
Bill 168 – Workplace Violence and Harassment
Death Benefit Payment in Complex Cases
WSIB LOE Benefits for Retirees
FOI/Privacy Issues
Recent Arbitration Decisions
Bill 118 – Cell Phones
10:10 Plenary Session on Human Rights
This plenary session will address both procedural and substantive issues. First, we will review the performance of Ontario's new "direct access" human rights system and will examine the impact of the new regime on school boards. Is the new system effective at quickly allowing parties to address allegations of human rights violations, or is it likely to become backlogged and mired in a heavy caseload? What practical tips and tools are available to boards in navigating this new system? Next, we will review the specialized area of student human rights, particularly as it relates to the topic of student discipline. Finally, we will provide an update on significant human rights case law developments concerning the constantly evolving definition of discrimination.
11:00 Refreshment Break
11:15 Plenary Session on Attendance Management
Today's legal environment presents both challenges and opportunities for school boards seeking to limit employee absenteeism and to establish attendance standards. This plenary session will address recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions that clarify the concepts of discrimination and the employer's duty to accommodate to the point of undue hardship in the context of absenteeism due to disability. The panel will also explore recent arbitration awards on attendance management programs and provide cutting edge practical advice on the introduction of such programs.
1:15 Workshop Session "A" (Choose one)
OPTION 1: Living in a Weber World
Because of two key Supreme Court decisions, the Weber case of 1995 and the Parry Sound case of 2003, labour arbitrators have been forced to accept jurisdiction over common law and statutory sources of legal liability that traditionally had been managed by the courts. Increasingly, we see grievances being filed alleging torts such as defamation, assault, malicious prosecution and trespass, as well as violations of not only the Human Rights Code, but all manner of other statutes which relate to employment to a greater or lesser degree. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a practical understanding of the law which lies behind these changes, the ways in which arbitrators are currently approaching their newly expanded jurisdiction, an overview of the most common issues you will likely encounter and practical methods of limiting your board's liabilities in these areas.
OPTION 2: Bill 177 – School Board Governance, "Who Does What?"
The question of "who does what" within the school board sector has traditionally been an interesting (and sometimes contentious) issue. This is largely attributable to the vagueness of the current governance provisions of the Education Act. On May 7, 2009, the Government tabled Bill 177, the Student Achievement and School Board Governance Act, 2009. The Bill (currently at Second Reading) contains a number of provisions clarifying and supplementing the roles and responsibilities of school boards, Trustees, Chairs and Directors of Education. It also contemplates the establishment of Codes of Conduct for trustees containing both provincial and local obligations. This workshop will bring you up to date on the current status of the Bill, the proposed "Provincial Interest Regulation" and their practical and legal implications for Trustees, Directors and senior board administrators.
OPTION 3: Pandemic Planning and Management
Flu season will soon be upon us, and with it, the threat of an H1N1 pandemic. As employers and service providers, school boards owe particular legal duties to their students and employees to prepare for and respond to a possible outbreak of H1N1. In this informative session, we will discuss the pandemic preparedness issues arising from the statutory framework, identifying the rights and obligations of both school boards and their employees. We will also explore practical strategies through an interactive workshop format.
OPTION 4: Pay Equity
Faced with a blizzard of educational and other priorities, school boards have often not been sufficiently attentive to their potentially crippling obligations under the Pay Equity Act. Experience has shown that teacher federations, unions and employees all are more than happy to take advantage of that fact. Although amalgamation occurred over 10 years ago, some boards have not yet developed lawful pay equity plans for each of their employee groups. Other boards have not been particularly attentive to their ongoing obligations to maintain pay equity. The inadvertent creation of pay equity gaps through collective bargaining can lead to significant retroactivity claims for both current and former employees. This workshop will provide a consolidated analytical approach to school board obligations under the Pay Equity Act, a broader understanding of the circumstances that trigger pay equity maintenance issues and an appreciation of the hidden costs and risks associated with non-compliance. We will also identify the proactive measures your Board should take in order to minimize its pay equity exposures before your federations and unions take the initiative.
Workshop Session "B" (Choose one)
OPTION 1: Complex Teacher Terminations
Every teacher termination is challenging. However, when the event triggering the decision involves criminal charges (particularly involving students as victims), the issues go beyond the basic employer/employee context. Questions arise as soon as the Board receives the first piece of alarming information, including the following: How to investigate? When to contact the police? How to deal with Children's Aid agencies? When and how to get parents involved? What information to provide to the community? How to handle the media? When can/must the Board make the dismissal decision? How to help staff members who may be called as witnesses? How to get information from the police? How to use the trial proceedings? What impact will the trial have on decision-making or decisions made? This workshop will take you through the critical decision points required to manage these complex dismissals by outlining the options available to school boards intent upon acting in the best interests of the students, school and staff who may become involved.
OPTION 2: Safe Schools – School Yard Issues and Cyber-Bullying
School boards have always faced a complex web of legal obligations associated with the problems of bullying and school yard incidents. The recent explosion of social networking sites and the phenomenon of cyber-bullying have added further layers to the challenge. These situations can have a devastating impact on students and staff and can expose an involved board to substantial liability. Depending on the fact situation, there may be intersections between the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Education Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the board's civil duty to prevent harm on school property, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act. This workshop will review the statutory obligations of school boards and the relevant recent case law, and will also provide you with practical advice in meeting applicable legal obligations in an emerging field.
OPTION 3: WSIB for School Boards
The Government of Ontario is increasingly adopting a highly integrated approach to the enforcement of workers compensation, occupational health and safety, human rights and labour relations obligations. It is no longer possible for school boards to deal with their WSIB issues independently of other considerations. Rather, their practices and legal strategies must mirror those now implemented by the Government. This workshop will provide an integrated overview of recent developments within the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. We will provide practical advice and strategies to deal with these changes, including advice on how to make the various pieces fit together so that legal risks and claim costs are effectively and (where necessary) aggressively managed.
OPTION 4: Support Staff Issues
Just as is the case with teachers, support staff bargaining units generate their own distinctive issues. This workshop will address a wide range of legal and practical problems that can arise, including EA work refusals and support staff safety, discipline, issues relating to the accommodation of disability and religion, and more.

Need New Years party ideas? Throwing a Party for the New year is a great way to ring out the old and welcome the new!
So you have decided that this year you are not leaving New Year's Eve plans to chance. You are going to throw your own New Year's Eve party, invite al your own friends in your own home. It sounds simple until you start looking over the guest list and begin making concrete plans. This is when the guest list balloons, and the expense threatens to take the place of rent as your biggest bill for the month. Relax. You don't have to let the party spin out of control. There are a few tried and true ways to throw the biggest bash of the year, that won't break the bank and keep your guests ridding so high they will hope the ball never drops. Try out a few of the New Years party ideas below, customized in your own way, for a fun New Years party.
Just because you are hosting the party, does not mean you must open your home to guests, nor does it mean you have to drop a bundle on a rental hall. There are all sorts of businesses that are happy to welcome you and your party without charging extra for it. Access to party space free of charge and outside your home is never more true than on New Year's Eve. The very streets of most big cities spring to life offering endless party location possibilities.
To choose the perfect venue ask yourself the following questions: Do you want a quiet and intimate gathering or a rocking, rowdy romp? Do you want to serve dinner, or a buffet or appetizers and tasty sweets? Knowing the feel you'd like your party to have will allow you to select just the right restaurant, club, bistro, bar or hall to meet your needs. In the end you may decide that the only way you will get the party you really want is to open your home. That's OK, because you will know that it is exactly what you are wanting.
One of the most important parts of any gathering, party, meeting or evening out is what food is being served. Likewise the food and beverage element of a party is one of the main expenses. For some footing the bill for a large party is no big deal. For the rest of us non-billionaire hosts, there are ways to cut costs.
Instead of serving a full seven course meal to each and every guest split the party up, invite your closest friends to a pre-party dinner party. Allow time between desert and the start of your second party for clean up, then invite anyone you ever met swell your party crowd to a respectable New Year celebration.
If the two party night isn't your deal, make the food potluck. This is a great way to cut the expense as well as preparation and clean up times. Most guests are eager to know if they can help in some way. Asking them to bring a treat to share is not a burden. Often the invitation to help actually makes your guests feel more comfortable: they have a part in the party and know that there will be something that hit's the spot for them to eat.
When New Years Eve is upon you, remember to be a great host by greetng your guests as they arrive. Stock your freezer with extra ice, and have napkins readily available in case of spills. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. An uptight host sets a somber tone. Laugh, be happy and use any of the New Years party ideas above to help ring in the New Year your way!

Visitors on your WLAN can bring infections. A round-up of what vendors are doing about it.
Industry endpoint security initiatives such as Cisco Network Admission Control and Microsoft Network Access Protection are helping enterprises keep the client devices that they provision and manage free of infection before they access the corporate network.
But what about mobile endpoints that are unmanaged? By "unmanaged," I mean devices that might need temporary access to your network, such as those that belong to a contractor, consultant or supplier, and are not provisioned and managed by your IT organisation.
One approachAruba Wireless Networks recently announced its approach to balancing the security and access issues surrounding foreign clients. Other Wi-Fi systems vendors, too, are at least thinking about endpoint security. After all, a wireless access point or wireless LAN switch might be the very first point of corporate network contact for a mobile device that has been exposed to Internet infections before attempting to reconnect.
In November 2004, Aruba said it was teaming with security companies Sygate and Fortinet to integrate the stateful firewall in Aruba's WLAN switch/controller with the other companies' client software and firewall technologies, respectively. In June, the fruit of the Sygate partnership emerged in the form of Client Integrity Module software for Aruba appliances.
With it, Aruba appliances can determine if the client attempting to connect is an unmanaged device. If it is, it will download to the client a Java applet that performs a host integrity check for up-to-date anti-virus software, personal firewalls, software patches and updates - whatever your security policy dictates. Similarly, policy will determine whether the state of the device means it is kept off the network, allowed on, quarantined, remediated for limited access, or redirected and brought into compliance.
While a WiFi device is not in compliance, it is also blocked from communicating with other Wi-Fi clients in peer-to-peer fashion, notes Jon Green, Aruba product manager.
Perhaps most interesting is the virtual desktop feature. Since most people don't really care for IT departments in other companies fooling with the software on their own PCs, the virtual desktop leaves everything already on the PC alone and creates a policy-compliant, encrypted virtual session for temporary use that users can erase after the fact or retain for future use when they return, Green explains.
What are other WiFi vendors doing?Competitor Trapeze Networks deals separately with managed devices and guest devices. For managed devices, an 802.1X-based feature called Bonded Auth, which works in Windows, authenticates both the user and the machine, so a trusted user cannot attach to the network using an untrusted device. For temporary users, Trapeze offers a feature called GuestPass, a guest provisioning application that places guest traffic on a separate VLAN and gives them Internet access only.
Symbol Technologies says that WiFi endpoint security "is on its roadmap," and Meru Networks says it is pursuing a "best of breed partnership approach" to meet customer WLAN edge security requirements. In March 2004, Meru announced a partnership with iPolicy, a maker of intrusion prevention firewalls, to integrate iPolicy security capabilities into its controllers, but we haven't heard any further developments on that relationship (or on the Aruba-Fortinet relationship, for that matter).
