Fears for jobs as Ethel Austin goes into administration
The Merseyside based retailer Ethel Austin has gone into administration, putting hundreds of jobs at risk.
Menzies Corporate Restructuring has taken control of the 74-year-old business and partners Philip Duffy and David Whitehouse have been appointed administrators.
"At this stage, it's too early to be certain about the exact reasons for the financial difficulties," Mr Duffy said.
"Our primary concern is to ensure that the business continues to trade in the coming weeks and that a suitable buyer is found.
"Despite the current challenges faced by the retail sector we remain confident that a buyer can be found."
The discount store chain employs around 2,800 staff across its 300 stores with latest annual turnover in the region of £150 million.
The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Worker (Usdaw) said that they had been aware of the financial difficulties experienced by Ethel Austin for some time.
"We will now be working closely with Ethel Austin and administrators in an attempt to secure the employment of as many members as possible," John Gorle, a Usdaw national officer, said.
Last year, Ethel Austin signed a contract as the official clothing supplier to Liverpool's European Capital of Culture 2008.


ZTE has pushed Android 8.0 Oreo beta update for the ZTE Axon 7 smartphone. The company announced that they have started the official testing of Android 8.0 Oreo beta. The handset was launched with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and was later rebooted with Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
The Android 8.0 Oreo beta update is currently made available to select Axon 7 users who have enrolled in the experimental program. In addition to the Oreo, the latest beta update also ships with January security patch. The company has scheduled the total run time for the beta version for the next few months.
According to reports, the company is planning to roll out a stale version of Android 8.0 Oreo to ZTE Axon 7 for users based in the US by the end of April. The main idea is to gather feedback from customers and to implement the possible suggestions.
Along with ZTE Axon 7, you can also expect the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Axon 7 Mini and Axon 7s smartphones. t is to be noted that both smartphones include identical specifications and we can expect an update soon. The disadvantage of the beta program is that the update is available only for users based in the US. We don't have any exact time frame for the launch of the update in other regions.
The beta version will be available only to select users based on the region. Due to the nature of the update, you need to capture a backup of the files (images and videos) before proceeding to install. We can't fully certify that the beta version will be foolproof and hence it is advisable to take precaution. The update is a full-blown Android 8.0 Oreo and hence you should free up to 3GB of storage and charge the device completely.
Detel has established a strategic partnership.

Q: How could Windows NOT corrupt the Linux file-system when messing up partition schemes A friend has a system on which I recently installed Manjaro Linux in dual boot with Windows 10, using the default dual-boot partitioning scheme from the installer.
Yesterday, Windows decided to update itself (the infamous Creator's Update, I guess), and Manjaro would not boot.
I instructed the friend to login from a liveUSB and this is the sudo fdisk -l output:
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 238,5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: DBCB2883-9E10-40F3-8007-B1B409A79DF5

Dispositivo        Start      Fine   Settori   Size Tipo
/dev/nvme0n1p1      2048    206847    204800   100M EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p2    206848    239615     32768    16M Microsoft reserved
/dev/nvme0n1p3    239616 123472110 123232495  58,8G Microsoft basic data
/dev/nvme0n1p4 497999872 500097023   2097152     1G Windows recovery environment
/dev/nvme0n1p5 123472112 497999871 374527760 178,6G Linux filesystem

Partition table entries are not in disk order.

Note the Partition table entries are not in disk order.
: apparently, there is now a partition (/dev/nvme0n1p4) which is physically after the main Linux one (/dev/nvme0n1p5), but numerically before. Since this looks pretty non-standard, I guess Windows messed up with the partition table.
After doing a:
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --recheck --debug

The system starts again and seems to be functioning normally.
The question is:
how could Windows mess with the partition table, however without corrupting anything, given that it does not have any ext4 knowledge that I know of? Did it just alter the "numerical" partition order? What exactly did it do?

A: Chances are that it did nothing to the partitions, but it simply rewrote the EFI boot to (try to) make itself the only/default OS. Since of course, you know, once you've Windows 10 on the disk, why would you need anything else?
Your problems happened to me too two or three times, on different machines, after updates, and they always went away with a simple update or reinstall of GRUB2.
I do not think that renumbering the partitions can do anything really bad; if they don't mess up with Windows, I'm pretty solid that they won't mess with GRUB/GRUB2.
However, be sure to run a e2fsck on the Linux partition to ensure it hasn't been shortened by one gigabyte. If the FS inside is tagged as larger that the partition where it should be contained, because the latter has been resized blindly (Windows has enough knowledge of partitions to do that), you might run into trouble when either Linux overwrites the recovery data, or Windows "updates" it and writes over whatever Linux ext4 decided to put there. You might need to:

*

*backup the 1GB data into a Linux file,

*remove the partition and reset the Linux partition to full size,

*shrink the filesystem to leave 1GB free,

*recreate the partition,

*restore the backup

to accommodate both OSes and keep them on friendly terms.

Marsalforn is a very popular summer resort in Gozo. It falls under neighbouring Zebbug for administrative purposes. The name, Marsalforn is a composite word, marsa lifurna, or caves hallowed by the sea. The church of Marsalforn is dedicated to Saint Paul Shipwrecked and the present building dates back to 1730. Saint Paul, after his three month long stay in Malta, is said to have left the island from the tiny port beneath the church. It is the closest port of the Maltese islands to Pozzallo, in Sicily.
During the summer, Marsalforn is a bustling, lively resort. There is a small sandy beach near the harbour which has safe bathing. Farther round the coastline lies Qbajjar, with excellent snorkelling. Marsalforn has many harbourside cafes and restaurants, and it is the main port for the traditional 'luzzijet' trawlers and fishing boats. Even in the height of summer, this is a relaxed and easy place to be.


Located in southern New Brunswick, in the beautiful Bay of Fundy, this tranquil location is a popular tourist destination with opportunity abound for camping, hiking, biking, recreational boating as well as offering beautiful vistas around every corner inviting your exploration.
The practice is within 2.5 hours from the city of Saint John, which has an airport, university and many other amenities.
The practice offers dental care to the population of approximately 2,500 full time residents. Tourism draws more patients into the practice as the population increases every summer with many visitors opting to elect for dental treatment during their downtime in the summer months.
The practice has built up a fantastic reputation, successfully maintaining the dental health of the island for the past 38 years. It has 2 fully equipped operatories, and a satellite chair in a nearby long term care facility. Hospital privileges are available and would benefit those qualified with sedation delivery. General dentistry is the main focus of this practice which includes orthodontic care. There is great potential to provide many aspects of dentistry, such as oral surgery, molar endodontics and implant dentistry. This is a unique opportunity to be the sole provider of dental healthcare for this community.

New Singing Competition 'Alter Ego' Takes 'Game of Talents' Time Slot
Jill O'Rourke
FOX / YouTube
There's a new talent show set to take the Game of Talents time slot this fall. It's called Alter Ego, and the premise isn't quite like any other competition show currently on the air.
There's still no news about whether or not Game of Talents will be renewed for another season. It looks like this new show will be taking its time slot later this year.
Alter Ego will be executive produced by Matilda Zoltowski, who has worked on talent shows such as World of Dance, Bring the Funny, and Dancing with the Stars. The series will help "singers from all walks of life become the stars they've always wanted to be."
"However, these contestants won't perform as themselves," the description continues. "Rather, they'll be given the chance to show how they've always wanted to be seen, creating their dream avatar Alter Ego to reinvent themselves and perform like never before."
The show will reportedly air on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. after The Masked Singer. That time slot is currently filled by Game of Talents, hosted by Wayne Brady.

What Else Can We Expect This Fall?
We don't know yet whether Game of Talents will be renewed for another season. Based on the Alter Ego news, it won't air in the fall — or else it will be moved to a different time slot. Its lead-in The Masked Singer will remain, however. Season 6 is set for this fall.
The show is currently airing Season 5, with the season finale set for next week. Check out Talent Recap's latest Masked Singer recap video. It includes a prediction for the identity of the mysterious Cluedle-Doo, as well as a discussion of the recent Russian Doll reveal.
We're excited to see what Alter Ego is all about, as well as FOX's upcoming game show Don't Forget the Lyrics!, which will be hosted by Niecy Nash.

Home / Entertainment / Bollywood / Watch| Milind Soman pens heartfelt note as he learns Bihu from wife Ankita Konwar
Watch| Milind Soman pens heartfelt note as he learns Bihu from wife Ankita Konwar
In the video, it can be seen that Ankita is teaching a few steps of the traditional folk dance of Assam to his husband.
SNS | New Delhi | November 20, 2019 4:13 pm
(Instagram/@ankita_earthy)
From beating all the odds to breaking stereotypes, the couple married each other in a cosy ceremony and showed trolls that their 26 years age gap is nothing when there is love. The celebrity couple is known for posting adorable pictures on their social media handle.
Recently, Milind took to his official Instagram handle to do the same. On Wednesday, he posted a cute video of him and his lady love Ankita dancing.
Getting emotional, Milind penned a heartfelt note alongside the video and images. He wrote, "When I thought of creating a running event for women in 2011, it was only because as a runner I saw very few women at running events and wondered if it would be different if there was a run exclusively for them. This month, after 50 editions of what is now India's biggest women's run, over the last 8 years, I have discovered just how different it would be ! Women took to Pinkathon in a big way right from the start. The participants have transformed the run into a community and a social movement with thousands of women inspiring each other by example. Nobody is left behind. Not the very young or even the very old, not pregnant women, not the women in hijabs and sarees, not the women with young babies, not the visually impaired or the cancer survivors. They all came together making each edition in every city a festival like no other. Dancing and singing, walking and running, cheering and laughing in a fantastic celebration of womanhood. With every year the community and its needs have gotten bigger. More events and experiences have been added to motivate and engage, like the 100 days of Pinkathon and the Pinkathon 100k, Indias biggest women's ultra marathon. Pinkathon day was celebrated for the second time this year, in several countries across the world, in 176 locations and with 25000 people participating. The Spirit of Pinkathon, a 150km run between cities, is all about self belief, and after their first couple of years at Pinkathon, hundreds of women have started to train for it. We hear more and more stories of lives that have changed for the better, diseases of mind and body that have been conquered. It is a matter of pride for the entire community. Like the women of Pinkathon themselves, Pinkathon has become unstoppable, and limitless. 50th edition of Pinkathon was celebrated last Sunday in Guwahati and it was a beautiful moment, as all the moments have been for the last 8 years. Where do we go from here ? As big as it seems, Pinkathon is still a small step towards a healthier and fitter society driven by women. There is a long way to go. But change is coming, the women of Pinkathon are awake, and they will not stop. It is time. #Pinkathon50 (sic)."

Meanwhile, Ankita also shared a video and pictures on Instagram as she did the Bihu dance with her husband during an event in Guwahati.
Dressed in traditional Assamese attire, Ankita can be seen dancing gracefully on the stage as Milind tried to match her steps. Milind was casually dressed in a tee and pants.
Alongside the video, she wrote, "The time when @milindrunning tried #bihu," Ankita said in her caption. So cute! (sic)."

Is it alright to share this website?
Yes. If it was to be kept private, we would not have posted it on a public site. We want this revival to spread around the globe as soon as possible so we can go home.
Does Brother Joseph know about sharing the recordings on our website? Is he OK with it?
Yes and Yes. Also, did you hear him say, "This revival is not just for the Branham Tabernacle, it is for the world." ? Did you hear him pray for those listening in? To hear Brother Joseph speak of the streaming from this site, listen to the preliminary on The Rejected King.
How are the recordings received?
These audio clips were shared by believers who recorded the services from the audience at The Branham Tabernacle.
How soon will there be live streaming?
Live streaming is now. Select the message on the Service Audio page at the time of the service at the Branham Tabernacle.
When will video of the Branham Tabernacle services be available?
We know this is a desire of many, but we do not know when it will work out. You may pray for this request. It may work out soon.
We have tested a live streaming service and have been pleased with the results. At this time we plan to continue using it. Lord willing, it will be live 10 minutes before service starts in Jeffersonville. Refresh your window at that time and look for the play button. If it does not work, you will still have the same familiar play bars below approximately an hour later.
I am having a problem with live streaming.
We recommend a minimum internet download speed of 5 Mbps. We are working on our end to keep it seamless for you. If it freezes up, just refresh your browser.
What if the audio does not play?
If you play the audio after the service and it does not load immediately, just wait a minute without clicking on anything else. It should load soon. We have lowered the bitrate of the recordings for those with slower internet. You may also use the download link and play the file later.
You may let us know, on our Contact page, but I likely won't know how to fix it. What I recommend is restarting your browser, and/or computer. When I restart our computer before church starts, things generally flow seamlessly. The live streaming takes flash player; the rest does not.
I do not have internet where I would like to play the file.
We are now placing a download link near the audio bars so you can download the file and take it where you need it. It is an m4a file. We will soon have mp3 files for players that do not read m4a files. This will also help if you have slow internet speed.
Will you keep posting the recordings even after you start 'live streaming'?
Yes. The live streaming is for the people in the eastern time zone so they can stream it at church, etc. without needing to wait an hour later.
Use the Download link to save audio files for your m4a player. Depending on your browser you may need to right click on the download link and then choose "save link as".

Home AEW News Jon Moxley's Mother-In-Law Did NOT Like His Match At AEW Full Gear
Jon Moxley's Mother-In-Law Did NOT Like His Match At AEW Full Gear
November 8, 2020 | H Jenkins
Jon Moxley's match against Kenny Omega at AEW Full Gear 2019 upset Renee Young. She did not like the unsanctioned match or the barbed wire spiderweb. This year Renee's mother didn't like his I Quit match against Eddie Kingston.
Click here for our complete coverage of AEW Full Gear.
Kingston and Moxley tore each other apart. It was a match that Moxley knew would work, and he told Tony Khan so. Fans all over praised it, but Renee Paquette's mother disagrees.
Renee jumped on Twitter to let fans know that her mother finally got a chance to check out her son-in-law's match on Saturday. She is not a fan.
My mom is watching Jons match from last night. She does NOT like it.
Lance Storm replied saying that "can't be a surprise." Renee responded to let everyone know that while her mother didn't like it, she had to watch the whole thing.
She tried to quit watching several times. But deep down Carole is twisted in her own way and wanted to see the mayhem.
If Renee Paquette's mother isn't a fan of Jon Moxley's rougher stuff in AEW, then she needs to stay far away from his CZW catalog. Hopefully, this doesn't change the way she sees Jon Moxley.

Laughing Death Syndrome
Kuru is a very rare disease. It is caused by an infectious protein (prion) found in contaminated human brain tissue. Kuru is found among people from New Guinea who practiced a form of cannibalism in which they ate the brains of dead people as part of a funeral ritual. This practice stopped in 1960, but cases of kuru were reported for many years afterward because the disease has a long incubation period. The incubation period is the time it takes for laughing death disease syndrome to appear after being exposed to the agent that causes disease.
The name kuru means "to shiver" or "trembling in fear." The symptoms of the disease include muscle twitching and loss of coordination. Other laughing death disease syndrome include difficulty walking, involuntary movements, behavioral and mood changes, dementia, and difficulty eating. The latter can cause malnutrition. Kuru has no known cure. It's usually fatal within one year of contraction.
The identification and study of kuru helped along scientific research in a number of ways. It was the first neurodegenerative disease resulting from an infectious agent. It led to the creation of a new class of diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease, and fatal familial insomnia. Today the study of kuru still impacts research on neurodegenerative diseases.
Kuru Laughing Death Disease Syndrome?
Syndrome of more common neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease or stroke may resemble kuru syndrome. These include:
difficulty walking
moodiness and behavioral changes
muscle twitching and tremors
inability to grasp objects
random, compulsive laughing or crying
Kuru occurs in three stages. It's usually preceded by headache and joint pain. Since these are common syndrome, they are often missed as clues that a more serious disease is underway. In the first stage, a person with kuru exhibits some loss of bodily control. They may have difficulty balancing and maintaining posture. In the second stage, or sedentary stage, the person is unable to walk. Body tremors and significant involuntary jerks and movements begin to occur. In the third stage, the person is usually bedridden and incontinent. They lose the ability to speak. They may also exhibit dementia or behavior changes, causing them to seem unconcerned about their health. Starvation and malnutrition usually set in at the third stage, due to the difficulty of eating and swallowing. These secondary symptoms can lead to death within a year. Most people end up dying from pneumonia.

What are the causes of Kuru?
Kuru belongs to a class of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also called prion diseases. It primarily affects the cerebellum — the part of your brain responsible for coordination and balance.
Unlike most infections or infectious agents, kuru is not caused by a bacteria, virus, or fungus. Infectious, abnormal proteins known as prions cause kuru. Prions are not living organisms and do not reproduce. They are inanimate, misshapen proteins that multiply in the brain and form clumps, hindering normal brain processes.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease, and fatal familial insomnia are other degenerative diseases caused by prions. These spongiform diseases, as well as kuru, create sponge-like holes in your brain and are fatal.
You can contract the disease by eating an infected brain or coming into contact with open wounds or sores of someone infected with it. Kuru developed primarily in the Fore people of New Guinea when they ate the brains of dead relatives during funeral rites. Women and children were mainly infected because they were the primary participants in these rites.
The New Guinea government has discouraged the practice of cannibalism. Cases still appear, given the disease's long incubation period, but they are rare.
In 1961, Australian Michael Alpers conducted extensive field studies among the Fore accompanied by anthropologist Shirley Lindenbaum. Their historical research suggested the epidemic may have originated around 1900 from a single individual who lived on the edge of Fore territory and who is thought to have spontaneously developed some form of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. Alpers and Lindenbaum's research conclusively demonstrated that kuru spread easily and rapidly in the Fore people due to their endocannibalistic funeral practices, in which relatives consumed the bodies of the deceased to return the "life force" of the deceased to the hamlet, a Fore societal subunit. Corpses of family members were often buried for days, then exhumed once the corpses were infested with maggots, at which point the corpse would be dismembered and served with the maggots as a side dish.
Also Read: 10 Important Facts About the Russian Revolution
The demographic distribution evident in the infection rates – kuru was eight to nine times more prevalent in women and children than in men at its peak – is because Fore men considered consuming human flesh to weaken them in times of conflict or battle, while the women and children were more likely to eat the bodies of the deceased, including the brain, where the prion particles were particularly concentrated. Also, the strong possibility exists that it was passed on to women and children more easily because they took on the task of cleaning relatives after death and may have had open sores and cuts on their hands.
Although ingestion of the prion particles can lead to the disease, a high degree of transmission occurred if the prion particles could reach the subcutaneous tissue. With elimination of cannibalism because of Australian colonial law enforcement and the local Christian missionaries' efforts, Alpers' research showed that kuru was already declining among the Fore by the mid‑1960s. However, the mean incubation period of the disease is 14 years, and 7 cases were reported with latencies of 40 years or more for those who were most genetically resilient, continuing to appear for several more decades. Sources disagree on whether the last sufferer died in 2005 or 2009.
How Laughing Death Syndrome Diagnosed?
Neurological exam
Your doctor will perform a neurological exam to diagnose kuru. This is a comprehensive medical exam including:
neurological function
blood tests, such as thyroid, folic acid level, and liver and kidney function tests (to rule out other causes for symptoms).

Tests such as electroencephalogram (EEG) are used to examine the electrical activity in your brain. Brain scans such as an MRI may be performed, but they may not be helpful in making a definitive diagnosis.
What are the treatments for kuru?
There is no known successful treatment for kuru. Prions that cause kuru can't be easily destroyed. Brains contaminated with prions remain infectious even when preserved in formaldehyde for years.
What is the outlook for kuru?
People with kuru require assistance to stand and move and eventually lose the ability to swallow and eat because of symptoms. As there is no cure for it, people infected with it may lapse into a coma within six to 12 months after experiencing initial symptoms. The disease is fatal and it's best to prevent it by avoiding exposure.

The History of New Illinois
News and Issues
Response to Paul Simon Study
Why do you use the words "corruption," "tyranny" and "insurrection?"
Tyranny means oppressive power, especially when it comes from the government. In a tyrannical government, the leaders aren't restrained by the law or the Constitution. They seize more power than they have a right to. In our country, the people are supposed to be sovereign.
Illinois oppresses its citizens with crushing debt and the highest collective state and local taxes in the country
Illinois violates its own constitution by failing to have a balanced budget. (In 2018, our government lied about the budget and said it was balanced, but it was really $1.2 billion in the red.)
These are among other things—our state government seeks to infringe on the conscience rights of healthcare workers and infringe on 2nd Amendment rights.
A tyrannical government is unfair, and certain people, groups and municipalities have disproportionate power in Illinois. The government is not operating in the best interests of the people
A tyranny is often led by incompetent leaders. Illinois' incompetence is shown by its enormous debt and the worst financial health of all 50 states.
The state's first responsibility is to provide representative government to its citizens, and it is failing in this.
Corruption means dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by powerful people such as government officials.
Examples of corruption in Illinois are too numerous to list – the corruption in Illinois is legendary. Between 1973 and 2008, four Illinois governors went to prison. Because Illinois grants certain people, groups, and urban municipalities disproportionate political power, it is not fulfilling its responsibilities to its citizens, and its corruption has created a financial disaster
Insurrection means an act or instance of open revolt, defiance or rebellion against civil authority or an established government. Illinois violated the U.S. Constitution when it became a sanctuary state.
Becoming a sanctuary state put Illinois in rebellion to the federal government and the U.S. Constitution (Article VI, Sec. 2).

The €409bn civil service pension fund ABP completed the divestment of €4bn worth of holdings in nuclear arms manufacturers and tobacco producers in 2018.
The divestment included all subsidiaries and companies in the supply chain, it added.
The scheme said it had re-invested the proceeds worldwide and spread across several sectors.
At the start of last year, ABP announced that nuclear arms and tobacco no longer matched its aim to invest sustainably and responsibly.
It added that it expected the investments would not continue to deliver solid returns in the future.
In May, ABP revealed that it had hit its target for reducing the carbon emissions of its portfolio assets two years earlier than planned.
Dutch trade unions have issued an ultimatum to the government demanding concessions in line with earlier calls made during last year's negotiations over pension system reforms.
In a letter to social affairs minister Wouter Koolmees, unions FNV, CNV and VCP threatened industrial action if the government refused to honour their demands.
The unions want the government to freeze the retirement age for the state pension (AOW) at 66, introduce mandatory pension saving for self-employed workers, and relax the rules around pension schemes' inflation-linked compensation.
They also want the government to drop financial sanctions on individuals taking early retirement and to prevent cuts to pension rights.
Koolmees, who has already published a letter outlining his view on how to continue with the current pensions system, said he would thoroughly assess the ultimatum.
He said he didn't have plans to force through changes without involving the unions.
The Dutch pension funds for the retail and food sectors are to raise contributions and reduce annual accrual rates in 2019.
Both schemes said their goal was to increase their premium's coverage of liabilities relative to the discount rate.
The €20bn retail sector scheme (Detailhandel) said it wanted to increase its contribution from 21.6% to 22.6% of the pensionable part of the salary, while aiming at an accrual rate reduction from 1.62% to 1.56%.
The €6bn scheme for the food industry (Levensmiddelen) said it intended to raise premiums from 20% to 20.6%, and to decrease accrual from the maximum tax-deductible level of 1.875% to 1.768%.
Detailhandel said that its premium covered 87% of liabilities, a percentage that was meant to rise to 95% next year.
For Levensmiddelen, its current premium coverage of 77% of liabilities was to rise to 85%.
At November-end, the funding ratio of Detailhandel and Levensmiddelen stood at 109.8% and 102.3%, respectively.
Bart Onkenhout, director of the food industry scheme, said that the measure had been triggered by an asset-liability management study last summer, which had suggested that the premium's coverage of liabilities was unlikely to improve.
Recently, the €72bn metal scheme PMT announced that it also wanted to raise its premium coverage above its existing level of 80%. However, it must wait until 2020 when the five-year agreement between employers and trade unions expires.
The social partners at ABP agreed in 2016 to a phased contribution increase in order to boost the proportion of funding covered by premiums.
