The subject of the contract is the search for manpower for employment or comparison with other manpower at the client. The contract between the client and MPP Management & Personal Partner GmbH (MPP) is concluded by signing the offer by the client or by another conclusive declaration of intent.
MPP will act representatively for the client and will search for candidates according to the offer and to the unchangeable tasks and requirements description, after receipt of the deposit. Detected candidates will be presented by MPP by means of a qualification profile or CV, if they are professionally and personally qualified.
Any conditions of purchase and all other terms and conditions of the client that contradict MPPs terms and conditions are expressly excluded. The work order to MPP is not subject to a time limit.
MPP will search for candidates in databases and, if contractually agreed, in social networks and through direct contacting. The subsequent placement of advertisements will take place at the discretion of MPP primarily in such internet job boards in which the client is not or was not represented. In interviews with the preselected candidates, MPP will review their social, technical and methodical skills and then present the favorites. The candidates screening will include a standardized assessment center and personality analysis, if contractually agreed. MPP will not contact employees of the client, and therefore MPP receives the right to use company, brand and product names as well as logos of the client for marketing purposes.
The contract parties undertake to maintain permanent secrecy about all data and information having obtained by the other contract party or applicant, and not to pass on any data or information to a third party.
With the order the client will denominate all applicants to MPP, which are already in their own process, and subsequently he will denominate all applicants weekly, who will subsequently take part in their own search process. Only by this, those applicants can be considered as the clients own candidates. If the client omits this denomination, MPP is entitled to apply the agreed fee when hiring such an applicant, if previously called by MPP. This fee can therefore be calculated by MPP even if an applicant presented by MPP was already known to the client or a related company. In particular, the agreed fee will be also charged by MPP if the client explicitly names applicants with the intention of integrating them into MPP's appraisal process (e.g. target candidate or company list for direct approaching). The client will give feedback on each candidate presented by MPP within 7 days and will do each round of interviews (candidates invitation) within 14 days. The client must destroy or delete all application documents received from MPP and all applicants data collected in the process with the end of the order.
The fee will become due already with the oral or written offer of the client to an applicant and his oral or written acceptance of this offer, at the latest after conclusion of an employment contract or any other employment, service or project agreement with one or more proposed candidates, to be paid promptly after receipt of the invoice. The same applies if a contract, in whatever form, is made with an affiliate company or with another employer (third party), to whom the applicant has been named by the client.
The client informs MPP of the conclusion of a contract with one or more candidates submitted by MPP within one week after the conclusion of the contract. The performance of more than three hours of work-trials or trial-lessons by the applicant or the triggering of a social security obligation of the client for the applicant is already counted as a contract. If the client fails to provide timely information, MPP is entitled to charge the fee on the basis of the annual or target salary communicated in the job description or in the candidate profile, as well as interests of currently 9.2% p.a.
The fee will be charged pro rata if a contract or agreement with a candidate is completed up to 36 months after the candidates presentation. MPP's fee will be reduced by 25% after 12 months and by 50% after 24 months. A possible direct application of the candidate to the client or a presentation of this candidate by a third party does not affect MPP's fee claim.
Agreed or promised bonuses, commissions and allowances as well as salary increases in the first year of service are always part of the annual or target salary and thus the basis for the fee calculation. A minimum fee of € 5,000.00 is agreed, even if the fee calculation results in a lower value. Part-time positions will always be extrapolated to full-time positions. Temporary service or employment contracts will always be treated as open-ended contracts, i.e. they will be extrapolated to a 12 months contract duration at least. The client provides MPP with a copy of the service or employment contract upon request.
The replacement obligation is defined in the offer and requires the immediate sending of a copy of the notice of the social insurance institution or other written contract termination or notice. If a candidate will not start his job, this will be considered as dismissal in the probationary period, which triggers the replacement commitment. The advice of using the guarantee service must be made within one week at the latest. The replacement obligation will be counted as fulfilled with the clients verbal or written offer to an applicant and his oral or written acceptance of this offer, or with the tenth candidate profile presented by MPP, or with the fifth applicant interview with the client, or with (re)placement from the clients sphere. The conversion of one order into another, or of a placement into a replacement with the same or another job profile is excluded.
In case of a head count freeze, staff reduction or strike in the clients company, if the tasks or requirements profile is changed significantly during the process or work progress (e.g. place of work, working time, task subarea, requirement section, salary component, manager in line, management responsibility) or if the employees fixed annual or target salary is at least 5% below his desired salary (lower limit) as stated in the candidates profile, the replacement obligation will cease.
If a contract is concluded on conditions other than those offered or discussed, or if the proposed candidate will be intended for a deviating job description, directly or indirectly affiliated company, branch office, work, manager, working region, place of work, department, working space, working area or working hours, or if the candidate will be employed, transferred or contracted as a freelancer or entrepreneur, this will not affect MPPs fee claim, but in this case, the claim for replacement guarantee will expire, as it will in case of the applicants death, disability, sickness or waiting period. If more than one of the presented candidates will be employed, also for other positions, a further fee will be charged for each additional applicant in accordance with the corresponding offer without discount.
The client may suspend or terminate the search order at any time without stating reasons. MPP may interrupt (e.g. 'adjourn', 'let rest', 'postpone', 'retard', 'set on hold', and the like) or terminate the search order only if the client does not provide timely feedback on candidates or if more than 14 days elapse for a round of interviews, if the client is in default of payment, in case of a head count freeze, staff reduction or strike in the clients company, if the client significantly changes the job or requirement profile during the course of the project (e.g. place of work, working hours, sub-tasks, requirement section, salary component, manager, management or regional responsibility) or if the cause or purpose of the search order is changed or dropped.
The costs incurred up to the point of interruption or termination are charged at a flat rate and amount to 60% of the expected fee for interruption or termination up to the 30th calendar day from the order placement or 75% of the expected fee for interruption or termination from the 31st calendar day from order placement. The expected fee is calculated on the basis of the annual or target salary communicated in the job description or in the candidate profile. In case of doubt, the salary is calculated using the arithmetic mean. A minimum cost flat of € 3,750.00 is considered as agreed, even if the calculation results in a lower value. An interrupted order can be resumed free of charge within 60 days.
All costs which incurred to applicants in connection with job interviews are to be reimbursed by the client directly at the request of an applicant. If the client wishes to conduct candidate interviews on the premises of MPP, there will be an extra charge of € 55.00 per candidate per hour within 9 am to 5 pm. Outside these office hours, MPP charges an additional € 45.00 per candidate per hour.
MPP charges for those works that are not described in the order, but are additionally instructed in the course of the project (e.g. accompanying interviews, extended testing, preparation of statements, evaluations, lists, presentations or other documents of any kind) € 45.00 per started quarter-hour.
If the order quantity is extended during the course of the project, MPP may charge a further down payment for each additional position, even if the job or requirement profile remains unchanged. If the annual or target salary of the replacing employee is at least 10% higher than that of the replaced employee, MPP is entitled to charge the client a proportionate additional charge on the fee.
In case of the clients delayed payment, MPP is entitled to charge a reminder fee of € 40.00 per payment request and to claim interest on arrears of currently 9.2% p.a. The tardy client is obliged to pay all reminder and collection costs, survey and information costs, in particular reminder fees and collection expenses of an attorney brought in by MPP.
The client has no right of instruction to MPP with regard to technical-organizational measures, the restriction, return or deletion of data, extended quality assurance obligations, any subcontracting relationships or particular control rights. MPP processes personal data on behalf of the client and also on behalf of jobseekers. The exchange of personal data between MPP and the client is carried out without any common purpose or means and is to be regarded only as data transmission between separate entities responsible for their own data processing. MPP is not an order processor subject to the Austrian Data Protection Regulation.
Work outside Austria can be done in association with cooperation partners of MPP. Claims of the client of any kind cannot be asserted. All fees and prices are net, plus VAT, payable promptly without deduction. Payments made will not be refunded.
Information provided by MPP on an applicant is based on the pieces information provided by the applicant or on information provided by third parties. MPP cannot give any guarantee for the correctness and completeness of the given information, even then, if a candidate has submitted certificates or references.
The mailing of invoices can also be done in electronic form, what the client explicitly accepts. Complaints regarding the content of any invoice have to be made no later than one week after receipt of the invoice, later complaints are excluded.
The place of fulfillment and jurisdiction is Vienna. Austrian law applies excluding the UN sales convention and the conflict rules. The invalidity of individual provisions of these terms and conditions does not affect the validity of the other provisions.
Important Note: Only the original terms & conditions in German language ("AGB für Personalsuchen") are valid.
MPP Management & Personal Partner GmbH (MPP) will act representatively for the client and will present candidates by means of qualification profiles or CVs, according to the offer and to the unchangeable tasks and requirements description, after receipt of the deposit. Any conditions of purchase and all other terms and conditions of the client that contradict MPPs terms and conditions are expressly excluded. The work order to MPP is not subject to a time limit.
MPP will headhunt clients employees, and therefore receives the right to use the clients company, brand and product names and logos for marketing purposes. The contract partners must keep permanent secrecy about data and information obtained about the other partner, and must not pass on applicants data to third parties. The client must destroy or delete all applicants data and documents received from MPP after the end of the order.
The subject of temporary placements is the supply of manpower, not the delivery of certain services. The contract between the client and MPP is concluded by signing the offer or the order confirmation by the client or by taking up the employment of a candidate presented by MPP. The execution of the agreed order can be committed to another employee by MPP at any time. The instruction right for the employees remains with MPP. Temporary placement in companies affected by strikes or lockouts is prohibited.
Each employee is tested for their professional aptitude and ability to carry out the specific customer order. He may therefore only carry out the tasks which correspond to the job description and use or operate only those devices, machines and tools which are necessary and authorized for carrying out these activities. When an employee is placed in a position of trust and has access to money and valuables, a separate agreement must be made in advance. The recruitment services provided by MPP cannot replace the thorough examination of the candidate by the client. In no case MPP is liable for the choice made by the client regarding the employment of a candidate. The client must immediately complain about the lack of service provided by an employee and notify MPP in writing within 24 hours.
Liability is excluded for any damage caused by the employee during his work with the client. Incidentally, we are liable in any case from statutory and contractual liability (in particular in the case of default for more than 3 workdays, breach of contract, impossibility, inability, breach of obligations in contract negotiations or tort) only in case of intentional and grossly negligent causation of the damage. In such case, our liability is limited to the damage foreseeable for us. The client shall indemnify MPP from any claims that third parties may raise in connection with the performance or execution of the activities assigned to our employee.
We would like to point out that personnel provided during employment in the client's company is to be considered such as own staff in terms of business liability. In case of an accident at work, MPP must be informed immediately. The client shall ensure that all employee protection regulations applicable at the place of employment of the employee and the provisions of the Working Hours Act are observed and that first aid facilities and measures are guaranteed. Prior to commencement of employment, the client must inform the employee about workplace-specific hazards arising during the activities to be performed, and about the measures for avoidance. As far as there is a legal requirement for occupational health check-ups to be carried out, the client will inform MPP before the start of the assignment.
The client cannot make salary, bonus or other agreements with an employee provided by MPP that affect the existing employment relationship. If the client allows the provided employee to participate in a company canteen, kitchen or a comparable feeding option, this will be done at the expense of the client, and MPP cannot take this into account in the invoices or in the payroll. Agreements on holidays, time compensation or other absences with an employee provided by MPP always require the explicit, written and timely consent of MPP to obtain validity. In case of doubt, the records for working hours, absenteeism and days of absence kept by MPP are valid, even if tacit tolerance already exists.
The agreed billing rates are net, plus VAT. If the collective agreements or corresponding statutory provisions will change, the billing rates will increase proportionately, which is impossible retrospectively. Billing will be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly, invoice amounts are payable after receipt of invoice without deductions, by bank transfer or by cash payment, if requested by MPP. The employee is not authorized to accept payments.
Invoicing is usually done on the basis of the timesheets signed by the client. Overtime, holiday, shift and other collectively agreed surcharges will be charged to the billing rate at the appropriate surcharge rate. If no timesheet is available by the 3rd of the following month, the assigned target working time (normal working time plus overtime) is used as the calculation basis. If a flat rate (e.g. per month, week, day or half day) is agreed, any absences of the employee (e.g. illness, doctor's visits, official visits, vacation, company leave, exemption, etc.) will be charged as normal working hours, so there will be no reduction or aliquotation of the flat rate. Leased employees are excluded from short-time work, therefore, the agreed target working time is calculated even for permanently or temporarily reduced employment. If further customary surcharges or allowances (e.g. premiums, bonuses, etc.) have to be paid to employees during the execution of the work taken over, they will be charged to the client plus the usual calculation surcharge and a handling fee of € 50.00.
The use of employees for activities in a higher employment group than initially agreed obliges the client to pay correspondingly higher billing rates to MPP. If the employee is employed by the client for activities in a lower employment group than agreed upon, this does not reduce the charge rate of MPP. For leases of three months or more, a surcharge will be added to the billing rate or flat rate in the amount of the current inflation rate; this price adjustment will be made on a quarterly basis. In the case of currency conversion or reform during a transfer, a premium will be added to the rate of purchase protection, which may be based on published indicators (e.g., Economist's Big Mac Index)..
If no other period of notice is agreed in the offer, in the order or in the application confirmation, then the legal notice period of six (6) weeks applies to employees. The period of notice will also be charged if the employee has been released, suspended or taken over by the client in the meantime. The leasing period is calculated exclusively on the basis of the individual employment days of the employee at the workplace of the client, so it is interrupted by his absence (illness, doctor's visit, official path, vacation, company leave, force majeure, strike, etc.), which extends above all a possibly agreed takeover period accordingly. At the end of the assignment of an employee of MPP, an invoice is made immediately. Complaints must be made no later than one week after receipt of the invoice, later complaints are excluded. The maturity of the total amount remains unaffected. Basic fees paid will not be refunded.
Each candidate or employee is free to establish no employment relationship with MPP or to terminate an existing employment relationship.
If the client or a company legally or economically linked to him establishes an employment or other contractual relationship with a candidate recommended by MPP without a preceded temporary placement, within 36 months from the date of presentation or interview, the parties agree that this employment relationship is arranged by MPP. Accordingly, in such a case the client undertakes to pay a placement fee. This amounts to 25% of the calculative annual income (fixed amount plus commissions, bonuses and allowances), with a minimum income of € 20,000 having been agreed also for part-time workers. MPP's fee will be reduced by 25% after 12 months and by 50% after 24 months. A possible direct application of the candidate to the client or a presentation of this candidate by a third party does not affect MPP's fee claim.
If the client or a company legally or economically linked to him establishes an employment or other contractual relationship with a leased employee within 12 months from the start date of the lease, the client will compensate MPP the accrued recruitment costs with a lump payment of € 5,000. This lump sum will be reduced by 1/12 for each full month of lease; However, it will not be reduced if the client does not hire the employee directly but instead gets his workforce through another company, in whatever form.
The fee or lump sum will become due with the conclusion of a contract between employee and client or between employee and third party or between client and third party. The client provides MPP with a copy of the service or employment contract upon request.
The client may suspend or terminate the search order at any time without stating reasons. MPP may interrupt (e.g. 'adjourn', 'let rest', 'postpone', 'retard', set on hold', and the like) or terminate the search order only if the client does not provide timely feedback on candidates or if more than 14 days elapse for a round of interviews (candidates invitation), if the client is in default of payment, in case of a head count freeze, staff reduction or strike in the clients company, if the client significantly changes the job or requirement profile during the course of the project (e.g. place of work, working hours, sub-tasks, requirement section, salary component, manager, management or regional responsibility) or if the cause or purpose of the search order is changed or dropped.
Important Note: Only the original terms & conditions in German language ("AGB für Personalbereitstellungen") are valid.


Impedance index or standard anthropometric measurements, which is the better variable for predicting fat-free mass in sick children?
AIM: To compare the predictive value of impedance index (ZI, height2/impedance) with anthropometric measurements for estimating fat-free mass (FFM). METHODS: FFM of 120 white paediatric children (46 males, 74 females), aged 2.5-18 years was measured by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), skinfold thickness (biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac) and bioelectrical impedance were also obtained. Stepwise multiple regression analysis and residual plots were performed to determine the most significant variables to predict FFM. RESULTS: The single best predictor of FFM was ZI, which explained 96.2% of the variance in FFM (r = 0.981, SEE = 2.15 kg). Addition of weight to the model containing ZI increased the explained variance of FFM to 96.6% (r = 0.983, SEE = 2.03 kg). BMI and MUAC were the poorest predictors of FFM: r = 0.422, SEE = 10.2 kg and r = 0.621, SEE = 8.93 kg, respectively. CONCLUSION: Impedance index is a more significant single predictor of FFM than other anthropometric measurements. The predictive accuracy of bioelectrical impedance analysis-based prediction equations for FFM was improved by addition of weight.

State-by-State Coverage and Government Spending Implications of the Better Care Reconciliation Act and American Health Care Act
Publisher: Urban Institute
Publication: Quick Strike Series
Author(s): Blumberg L, Buettgens M, Holahan J, Garrett B, and Wang R
By 2022, 24.7 million Americans could lose health insurance under BCRA and 23.0 million under AHCA.
Research finds that 24.7 million more Americans could be uninsured by 2022 under the Senate-introduced Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) and 23.0 million under the House-passed American Health Care Act (AHCA).
By 2022, federal Medicaid funding under the BCRA would decrease by $102.2 billion.
By 2022, federal Medicaid funding under the AHCA would decrease by $105.4 billion.
States that had the largest coverage gains under the Affordable Care Act would have the largest increases in the number of uninsured residents under both the BCRA and the AHCA, including California (increase from 9.0% uninsured to 21.4% under BCRA and 21.2% under AHCA) and Ohio (increase from 6.5% uninsured to 18.4% under BCRA and 17.7% under AHCA).
Of the 24.7 million additional uninsured under the BCRA in 2022, 76 percent would have incomes below 400 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL)—11.9 million would have incomes below 138 percent of FPL, and 6.9 million would have incomes between 138 and 400 percent of FPL. Under the AHCA, 80 percent of the 23.0 million additional uninsured Americans would have incomes below 400 percent of FPL.

Current battle: Here are the Netflix players | New series
November 15, 2018 by norway
The time when Netflix was united as a global player on the energy market has come to an end. Many companies are involved in challenging Netflix for the next few years.
One of the first who is fresh in Norway
While Netflix first of all had to resort to "local" actors after they were available in more than 190 countries in 2016, now some of the most powerful companies in the world will be the pretenders. This was the company's most offensive attack after they invested in slightly more controlled forms in previous years.

Norway was one of the first countries to focus on Netflix, in which the streaming service appeared in 2012. Founder of Netflix Reed Hasting he used big words when he talked to Serienytt.
The Netflix effect was immediate. Telenor among others reduced energy consumption, Comoyo, when they were taken to bed by Netflix and HBO Nordic so quickly arrived in the country.
Over 100 million subscribers
Netflix has benefited from the end of its operations and has increased the number of subscribers by over 100 million since 2012. Now the number reaches 140 million.
This number provides a solid income for the company, but the venture also costs a lot. The company obtained large loans to finance the growing production of original Netflix products.

That's why, because the five-year Netflix service is increasingly dependent on having the content it offers. For the company to be able to buy the series, it will be limited when more large companies focus on their own services.
Disney's contract, among other things, is not renewed, and Netflix has a dilemma with the Marvel series. Recently Netflix decided to cancel Marvel & # 39; s Iron Fist and Marvel & # 39; s Luke Cagethese are series produced by other companies, and Netflix has no such opportunity to be monetized. Especially in the long run.
See new episodes outlander on Viaplay
It then becomes a case of assessing the streaming service if it is better to use resources for content that is full and completely own. Even some of the original Netflix originals are no longer exclusive to the service.
These are Netflix competitors
The competition is growing. But is there anyone who is a real pretender to the dominant position of the energy service? We are looking at current challenges.
Amazon is a self-proclaimed contender and one of the fastest-tracked companies in the footsteps of Netflix. By the end of 2016, the Amazon Prime Video streaming service was available in 200 countries.
The Man In The High Castle is a popular original Prime Video. Photo: Amazon
The company is one of the richest in the world, with solid economic muscles and more legs on which to stand. The company's flow service is part of a larger offer known as Amazon Prime. In addition, the company is the owner of the Amazon Studios production company.
He is heavily invested in original content, with such important productions as Man in the High Castle. Jack Ryan and upcoming Lord of the Rings-series.
Serienytt was in London in October to take part in the company's premiere and they could see big stars such as Julia Roberts, Jon Hamm, David Tennant, Orlando Bloom and author Neil Gaiman.
The improvement takes place in parallel with the development of companies both physical stores and popular online stores in new countries. Amazon is definitely an actor you can rely on.
Rumors have long circulated that Disney is buying Netflix to secure a global distributor. The company went in a different direction and instead relied on its own power supply service Disney +.
Disney + logo. Photo: Disney
Something is a challenge for Netflix, which has a long and good relationship with Disney, both by showing Disney content, and collaborating on the creation of a character-based series that Disney has rights to.
Disney's greatest strength is the Disney brand and some of the most popular films and series in the world aimed at children and young people. The company is also the owner of the rights to popular Marvel superheroes and the entire universe of Star Wars after strategic acquisitions of companies created in the last decade.
Thor Marvel is one of the few heroes Disney has rights to. Series about brother Thor Loke is on his way to Disney. Photo: Marvel
The acquisitions included Lucasfilm and Marvel. They are now in the process of completing a major takeover of giant Fox, without an information department. The US authorities are currently assessing whether the sale is to be approved.
Disney + is to be a family-friendly service. This means that the service will not rely on a competitor to rely on those seeking content with a higher age limit.
To solve the flop of such Disney-owned content, including success Deadpool, Hulu is listed as a solution. For taking over Fox by Disney, it also includes a 60% stake in the Amritsian Streaming Service. Since then Fox and Disney had 30% each, but now Disney has become the majority owner – unless the US authorities have put an end to the takeover.
Warner media
AT & T purchased last year Warner media (previously Time Warner), which in turn owns HBO. AT & T is one of the largest and most traditional American companies that currently belong to HBO, Turner Broadcasting Networks, TBS, CNN, Warner Bros. Entertainment and Turner Broadcasting International.
It is an extensive possession that includes channels such as TNT, Cartoon Network and the DC superhero library (Batman, Supermann, etc.). The film library is also extensive.
In Norway, HBO content has been available for several years HBO Nordic, an energy service that worked a bit like a spear blade for HBO.

WarnerMedia is also the owner of the part Hulu (10%) and CW (50%). The company is even in the top three global media companies measured by size.
You can see the full list of companies on Wikipedia.
Thanks to AT & T money, the back promises to significantly increase the concentration on original content, including HBO.
In October, it also turned out that the company wants to invest in a global flow service, which is expected to reach the end of 2019. The head of the company, John Stankey, was offensive in his statements, and also mentioned the company's potential to invest as much in content as 8 billion dollars. Netflix dollars were used last year.

What will it mean HBO Nordic the time will be displayed. if Warner media wanting to gather everything in the place of global service, one should, among other things, consider how a popular Nordic facility will fit in everything.
According to Variety (external link) it will exist Warner media– one streaming service, such as Boomerang, DramaFever and DC Universe, will probably be part of a larger streaming service.
If WarnerMedia manages to create a technology platform, it really becomes an actor you can count on. It also means long-term troubles for more players who license the content of the company.
For years, this is a rumor Apples improvement. The company is happy to surprise, but has not yet launched a specific service.
On the other hand, the company resigns from the production of original content. Several large stars are protected for future Apple series. Among other things, a new series of dramas from Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, sci-fi with Ronald D. Moore (outlander. Battlestar Galactica) and miniseries with Chris Evans (Captain America) starring.

In addition, there are series on the road with JJ Abrams (lost) and M. Night Shyamalan, in total a dozen series introduced to production.
Rumors indicate that Apple is more focused on the Disney approach, limiting the content to a family-friendly filter.
In addition to economic muscle and experience via Apple iTunes, the company is also a popular brand. It is not inconceivable for the company to adopt an innovative approach to energy services to further improve the overall Apple offer.
We will probably see the Apple streaming service in 2019 (external link).
He is a stranger Hulu, an energy service that has existed for several years in the United States. In recent years, primarily critically accepted original content has been noticed The story of the handmaiden.
HuluThe position s is peculiar because the owners of the company are Disney, WarnerTime and Comcast. After taking over Fox, if he passes, Disney will own 60%. Disney's boss, Bob Iger, said he was going to increase his commitment to content Hulu and does not exclude global expansion.
Today, these are primarily US and Japanese energy services, previously unsuccessfully tried to run in the UK.
The Tale of Handmaid & # 39; s Tale is available in Norway by HBO Nordic. This is one of several Hulu originals. Photo: HBO Nordic.
Challenge Hulu is that the company has tried and lost to compete with Netflix. It may be natural that a streaming service can play in two teams with Disney, especially if the latter wants their services to be free of content at the age of 18.
The obvious candidate is also Youtubebecause earlier this year it changed its name from premium service from YouTube Red to Youtube Premium.
With its own Google alphabet on the reverse, the popular and traditional service is one of the most economical to use.
It also has a huge advantage of more experience in this field, even more than Netflix, and also has good adhesion to young viewers. Something that promises good in the long run.
Cobra Kai. Photo: Youtube
Youtube also increased the focus on original content. In 2018, Karate Kid was a continuation Cobra Kai one of the great surprises that critics commonly celebrated.
In 2019, YouTube will launch the premiere of over 50 original productions.
Facebook Watch
Facebook also wants to take part in the game and has everything that has its own original productions. A few are on their way.
For a long time the giant has taken a dominant position in social media and sees that video is an important area of interest. The company is a bit of an outsider because there is no tradition of content creation or streaming service.
But the same was not the case of Netflix, which in the 90s was founded as a company dealing in the sale of DVDs. Like Netflix, the company was built to facilitate market adaptation.
Shame Austin. Photo: Facebook Watch.
One of the first Facebook Watch series was the American version of Norwegian Detriment, A number of other series are on their way.
The American media giant CBS has started to internationally stream its streaming service CBS All Access.
Here, among others, the Star Trek brand is compiled with a handful of series on its way. CBS is also the owner of the popular Showtime channel, which is behind the series like Ray Donovan and homeland.
Star Trek Discovery Season 2. Photo: CBS
The feeder is such that the company gave most of its content to other actors. In Norway, HBO Nordic includes several Showtime and CBS All Access series Good fightwhile Netflix is showing up Star Trek: Discovery.
The company also underwent a management crisis after the powerful head of Les Moonves disappeared as a result of a series of allegations of inappropriate behavior in recent decades.
You can not get out of the pirate industry. With the growing number of suppliers and the increasingly fragmented flow landscape, the total cost of consumers is expected to grow rapidly.
In addition, it can be seen as less user-friendly when everything is scattered on so many players, unless it introduces well-functioning solutions, such as flow guides easily find and run content in various services.
If this does not happen, it will soon be done for the pirate industry to gain popularity. In the history of technology, piracy has been a reaction and side effect of poorly adapted content, which is also associated with many innovations in user friendliness.
It remains to be seen whether the competition will contribute positively or negatively to the fight against illegal downloading, for example, playing for the throne. Photo: HBO Nordic
Game of Thrones, which in recent years was the most popular series among pirates, is illegally charged by about 5% (external link) by the US Game of Thrones-seerne. It is estimated that this number is higher in countries where the series is unavailable shortly after the first display in the US For comparison, the pirate download for the Netflix series dropped drastically in Canada when its service reached this country..
Something that becomes a serious challenge, if not many services attack it with ease and affordability. Then we need to work together to prevent the loss of potentially large amounts of money.
Local actors
"Local" is a strange term used for energy services that usually operate in several countries. There is talk of energy services such as NRK. TV 2 Sumo. DPLAY and Viaplay in Norway and similar actors in the world who focus mainly on one or several countries.
Kielergata. Photo: TV 2
Such services can be even bigger than Netflix now, when large companies are growing around the world, because more and more of them have licensed content. Collaboration and an increase in the number of proprietary content is the key, but it can be a daunting matter.
The advantage is knowing the local market and supplementing popular programs and sports broadcasts. It may be difficult to compete on the front of the series, especially when services such as Netflix and HBO Nordic have signaled to fight for local talent. Six years after both services arrived in Norway, content produced in Norway is already on its way in form Beforeigners and Ragnarok.
At the same time, local actors do not necessarily have access to the same innovative technology as the largest global players.
It has also been proven that it is difficult to connect companies to become stronger in the face of international players. The owner of Viaplay, MTG Nordics, was on fire and burned when it was planned that the TDC entered the property page, but the entire acquisition failed (external link).
Look to Asia
We also collect players from the same place under the same umbrella. Asia, due to its huge population (60% of the world's population), is considered a key area because hundreds of millions of potential subscribers are downloaded.
For example, Amazon and Netflix have highlighted the price war and the mass production of local content from regions over the past few years.
But it can also be a company that reaches the rest of the world. Protectionism in conjunction with a newly created company such as Iflix makes the situation both exciting and unclear. Here are many exciting events that take place in countries such as Japan and Singapore.
In addition, China has put an end to it Netflix. Youtube and Amazon Prime Video I got to the country.
The most densely populated country in the world is one of the few countries where US energy services do not work, which means that Chinese companies eliminate competition. It may also allow the Chinese flow service to become dominant in the market and then invest in the international arena.
Forbidden American companies have provided rapid growth (external link) for Chinese companies. For example, the musician claims that it is Tencent have over 800 million users and nearly 30 million subscribers. The company has developed into a room and is now active internationally, including in the United States.
Tencent Video. Photo: Tencent
Tencent Video has over 40 million subscribers. It is estimated by a competitor Iqiyi he is also approaching this number, a service that has secured some of Netflix originals.
Alibaba, the Chinese "answer" on Amazon, also has a streaming service Youko Tudouwhich has passed 30 million subscribers. Alibaba has everything that invests in the international arena and is on its way to becoming a world-leading company with resources that can match the largest US technology giants.
Summary: An unpredictable future
Netflix secured its position at an early stage and tackled established habits and business models. The company showed its way, but now has to see how others are beating.
The current fight will increasingly include international giants in the future.
Several major acquisitions, new innovative players and technological development taking place at a record pace means that there will be major changes.
China's protectionism is an example of how this will affect political behavior. The EU has all the services required to produce a certain amount of European content, while in the United States it is exciting to see what takeovers are important and what the media landscape is.
There is also the question of how the United States reacts to the offensive of Asian companies.
The Netflix service takes so long and still concentrates on power. The company plans to introduce 700 series and films in 2019. And it does not seem that a company that is going through a sharp rise in the stock market is planning to buy the first one.

The UK NSC recommendation on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is currently in consultation. This recommendation is currently being reviewed as part of the UK NSC's regular review cycle of all policies.
The UK NSC welcomes comments and feedback on the expert review during this consultation period.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a collection of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease. People with COPD have difficulties breathing, primarily due to the narrowing of their airways, this is called airflow obstruction.
Typical symptoms of COPD include:
increasing breathlessness when active
a persistent cough with phlegm
frequent chest infections
The most recent review of scientific publications on COPD recommended against a national screening programme to detect Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at an early stage.

Italian restaurant "Ciao Bella" scatters its red chairs and tables on the sand of Loh Dalam Beach, within walking distance of Tonsai village. The scenery is breathtaking. And Italian specialties are cooked by a real Italian chef (while Italian restaurants are everywhere on the island, there is rarely an Italian chef who cooks). We highly recommend the pasta, "al dente" as they should be, and pizzas are incredibly authentic. One wonders how all these ingredients (Eg real Parma ham) have traveled so far.
Ciao Bella is also a testimony to the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004. A damaged restaurant sign, which has lost several letters, is displayed by Luciano Butti, owner of premises, himself a survivor of the killer waves. This piece of wood and a cup and saucer, that's all he has left. Luciano has rebuilt his restaurant almost identically.
Luciano Butti wrote a book recounting his survival, which lasted several days, isolated in the mountains of Phi Phi. You can buy the book at Ciao Bella restaurant.

VIDEO: Guernica-Iraq
By Global Research
911 Podcasts 1 January 2007
Theme: Crimes against Humanity
WMV | Quicktime MP4 – On 911Podcasts.com
"Guernica" was painted by Picasso in 1937. It depicts the senseless massacre by the Nazi Luftwaffe in the Basque city of Guernica, Spain. The attack was ordered at the behest of fascist Spanish General, Francisco Franco, during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica was a non-military target, the innocent people of the town were attacked in an attempt to psychologically break the will of those who opposed Franco's fascistic nationalist pursuit.
"Guernica" by Picasso – 1937, Oil on Canvas
Picasso captured an intense scene reflecting the deeply unjust suffering, agony and despair experienced by the people of Guernica. And in doing so he produced one of the most iconic, powerful and affecting pieces of anti-war artwork ever put to canvas. It is little surprise then that a reproduction of the painting, which hangs outside the entrance to the UN Security Council, was covered while Colin Powell was attempting to sell the Iraq War to the world.
The people of Iraq are suffering what amounts to the similar unjust brutality inflicted on the people of Guernica, except it's practically on a daily basis. A more accurate comparison would be to imagine having the London Tube and Bus bombings everyday. And have them happen so often that they become a predictable daily occurrence and part of life.
I think the Truth Movement needs to make its anti-war stance much more firmly known. This is not a Movement of "Conspiracy Theorists" with a "Conspiracy Theory" as Alexander Cockburn and Noam Chomsky falsely smear it as. This is a Movement standing up with the family members and others personally affected by the attacks, in simply calling for a real investigation. But it is also a Movement that is identical in sentiment to that of the Anti-War Movement. We should be building more bridges to them, and demonstrating that we're on exactly the same page, it's just half of their page is missing. And what they're missing is the ability to actually question the foundations of the all Wars justified by the attacks. We've got to show them that 9/11 Truth is a legitimate and key part of opposing the fraudulent Wars of aggression.
What I hope for is that the Anti-War and 9/11 Truth Movements can combine themselves, because they both have compatible elements that are necessary to each other. The Anti-War Movement has the more established grassroots and force of numbers, and the 9/11 Truth Movement brings an issue to campaign with that can actually delegitimise and stop to the "War on Terror".

The Global Growth of Qualicoat
With its headquarters in Zurich, Qualicoat continues to expand its network across the globe. Qualicoat now welcomes a new association from India, QUALINDAL, based in Mumbai. Qualicoat is sealing its position as the number one architectural finishing association for company accreditation with a global quality label.
The new association in India will offer licences to other applicators, pretreatment suppliers and powder producers from this region. Further news on the global front during 2014 confirmed that a general licence is being agreed for RAEA (Russian Aluminium Extruders Alliance). Qualicoat Zurich also confirmed that there were more country general licences in the pipeline.
As a testament to the global nature of the Qualicoat standard; standing at 310m, the Shard is Western Europe's tallest building and certainly most iconic. Its extensive glazed aluminium framing, is coated with Class 2 Architectural Powder Coating, applied to the global Qualicoat Specification.
Using 11,000 aluminium framed Glass Panels, the area of the glazed facade is 56,000 square metres, which equals the area of eight football pitches. With restricted access, it is vital that the powder coating to the Aluminium Profiles is robust and stands the test of time.
For the majority of uses today, Polyester Powder Coating to Class 1 is adequate in the UK's normal temperate zone and, with appropriate maintenance, will offer a long and useful life. For more exposed conditions, such as the Shard, changing the formulation to an IPA Polyester, combined with higher quality pigments, both gloss retention and colour retention can be substantially improved for an even longer life. Known as Class 2, or 'Super Durable' Powders, these materials are often twice as expensive as Class 1. The increase in cost is more than outweighed by the excellent weathering capabilities of Class 2 powders and there has been a significant increase in the specification of these finishes over the last few years for high specification buildings and structures.
The Qualicoat Standard, now in its 13th edition, can be freely downloaded from the European website www.qualicoat.net.
The standard offers an in-depth specification of a powder coating process. It encompasses other powder coating standards e.g. BS EN 12206-1:2004 in its entirety. Only APPROVED APPLICATORS who have been independently inspected and have been proven to adhere to the stringent levels laid down in the standard can they use the Qualicoat logo and seal of approval. For example, in the UK all members are regularly visited, without prior notice by an independent assessor, Exova. If, during inspection, quality standards laid down by Qualicoat are not being met then the powder coating company may lose its licence.
In addition to 'Application' Qualicoat also set standards for the 'Powders' used and the 'chemical pretreatment' in the process. Therefore, Qualicoat membership comprises – Applicators, Powder manufacturers and Chemical Supply companies. QUALICOAT is uniquely, a vertically integrated Quality Label.
As the Qualicoat standard is constantly being reviewed and improved by its independent membership, there is no need to quote a descriptive specification. The use of 'Qualicoat approved supply' within a coating specification is sufficient to ensure material is provided by a Qualicoat Approved supplier in the UK, or overseas, in accordance with the most up to date Qualicoat standards.
As the quality of powder formulations improve and become more competitive, the association has seen an increase in the specification of more resilient powders. Class 2 powders are now becoming more widely specified, as on the Shard, they can also offer extended warranties on both gloss levels and UV stabilisation and it is here that the association is seeing growth in specification in both the high rise commercial and residential sector.
Qualicoat UK and Ireland have recently successfully obtained RIBA approved status for their CPD entitled 'Setting the Standard for Architectural Powder Coating'. The CPD material aims to inform architects about this global voluntary quality label known as Qualicoat and to explain the benefits of the R&D that is undertaken by its members on behalf of the wider industry. The powder coat process is explained, as well as the growth of the premium powder formulations which are now being specified on our high rise and prestigious projects across the UK and Ireland.
Alan Maginnis, Qualicoat UK & Ireland's President commented, "We are delighted to be able to offer this CPD to any architect practice through our wide network of Qualicoat members. I hope it will demonstrate our commitment to providing not only high quality finishes for any building project but the ability to work with specifiers at early design stages to select the most appropriate classes of powder and pretreatment systems."
Demonstrating a commitment to upholding quality in the UK's industry and abroad, a further two specialists in the industry have recently joined the Qualicoat UK & Ireland association:
Glazing Vision are a bespoke roof light manufacturer based in Norfolk. Capitalising on the ethos 'minimise framework – maximise daylight' the company offers high quality solutions for all types of projects and have shipped and installed product around the globe. The importance of becoming a Qualicoat Applicator licence holder ensures their powder coating finishes meets an internationally recognised standard.
Alufinish, based in Germany, have begun supplying their pretreatment systems to the UK and Ireland. Their products have been rigorously tested through Qualicoat for use in Europe and the company wish to support the work of Qualicoat UK & Ireland. Alufinish offer a wide range of pretreatment systems for use on various metallic substrates.
In the UK, Qualicoat UK & Ireland represent the interests of the majority of best powder coaters in the UK. Regular meetings are held for members and presentations of specific items of interest help members keep up with legislation and technology. Working together on research projects, the UK's technical groups work hand in hand with the wider Qualicoat global community which in turn feeds into frequent reviews of the Qualicoat standard applicable to all members.
A copy of Qualicoat's Annual Report is available on the Qualicoat UK & Ireland website as a PDF download and outlines the global organisations activities during 2013.


We are a team of 7 embarking on a 3 day cycle ride from London to Snowdon (Wales) which includes hiking up the mountain on the 3rd day! We are raising money for 3 fantastic charities that are very personal to us all. The 3 day challenge will test us mentally and physically. We all know how painful this ride and hike will be, but we also understand the pain we will endure and suffer from this ride will only be temporary compared to the pain some people have to deal with on a daily basis. The monies raised for each of the 3 causes will go to great use. The Team of riders taking part in this challenge are: Daniel Galleni Alan Russell, Neil Solomon David Duffy Richard Collins Mark Chain Tim Charlton-Hunt Below are some words regarding each of the 3 charities we are raising money for: Step with Kyra Kyra is a bright and bubbly 8 year old with PFFD; a condition that means she has a short left thigh and deformed hip. She wears a heavy, bulky and painful prosthetic so she can walk. As she gets older, the shortening worsens and the impact on her life is greater. PFFD is so rare and her case so complex, that the NHS recommend amputating her leg so a prosthetic fits better. HOWEVER, in America they have been using cutting-edge treatment to successfully lengthen legs shorter than Kyra's for many years. The best place for Kyra to get the treatment she needs is in Florida with the world's leading specialist. But this costs approx. £95,000 per lengthening as she needs daily physiotherapy for 12 weeks. Please help make Kyra's dream of walking with two feet on the ground a reality. Target Ovarian Cancer I have always promoted a cancer charity for my charitable activities as it has affected me personally over the years with my friends and family. This year I have chosen 'Target Ovarian Cancer' as one of my oldest and dearest friends Ingrid Copperman recently passed away from Ovarian Cancer. Ingrid was an inspiration lady who turned her negatives into a positives and wrote a blog under the alias "the Princess and the C". Her blogs were deeply personal and inspirational detailing her journey through cancer, her love of family and life shines through in these blogs and serves as a reminder that life must always been lived to the full. Ingrid has sponsored me on every single charity expedition I have ever done so it my pleasure to ride for her chosen cause this year. https://www.targetovariancancer.org.uk/ Queen Mary's Hospital for Children We spent a lot of time at Queen Mary's children's hospital, in St Helier hospital, Sutton, where they cared for my son Max, whilst he recovered from brain surgery to remove his tumour. In spite of real difficulties with space and an aging building, the care Max received was exemplary and we all felt fully supported during our time there. We spent 5 weeks in a basic, tiny room with faulty equipment, seeing many other families and patients dealing with their situations in the best ways they could. The care team made up for the surroundings in an extremely busy children's ward but they are in desperate need of funding. Queen Mary's hospital is a dedicated children's ward caring for young people with a variety of surgical, medial and orthopaedic conditions. It also provides specialist care for cystic fibrosis, sickle cell, and llizarov fixation. Any size donation is hugely appreciated by us all.

Moral Police Motto: I Shame, You Shame, We All Like To Slut-Shame!.
Every minute of the day, in homes, schools, colleges, workplaces, streets, restaurants, clubs – women and girls of every age group are slut-shamed.
The other day in Gurgaon, it was not the first time a girl was slut-shamed because of her choice of clothes.
I was 12 when my school principal told me I was inviting attention because of my sleeveless knee-length dress that I wore to school on the occasion of 'Children's Day' celebrations. Every other day, some girl would be reprimanded in the morning assembly and asked to open the hemstitch of the school uniform to make it longer. Across the corridors, I noticed the teacher hit a 5-year-old nursery child on her knees, demanding that she join her knees and sit.
It was almost impossible for my 12-13-year-old self to sense the deep-seated misogyny in such acts being done under the garb of 'discipline' in a missionary school like mine. My 15-year-old self had heard my aunt snidely hint at random girls in the mall and shame them for their choice of clothing or makeup.
Every minute of the day, in homes, schools, colleges, workplaces, streets, restaurants, clubs – women and girls of every age group are slut-shamed. I need to change my clothes depending upon the time of the day, the route back home and the mode of transport. I am tired of the world mistaking the length of my skirt or shade of my lipstick as me 'asking for it'. Never for once do we sit back and think what have we come down to.
I need to change my clothes depending upon the time of the day, the route back home and the mode of transport.
What have we made our streets into, so that women need to constantly be afraid of getting assaulted? The incident in Gurgaon is one out of the millions of such instances that we as women face every moment of the day. It wasn't even surprising to me that a woman said those words. The extent of internalised misogyny is just that rampant. She is the representation of society that has normalized and ingrained a deep-seated rape culture and slut-shaming into everyone's minds.
Patriarchal ideology tries to enforce rigid gender roles and stereotyped behaviour patterns and further enforce the gender binary. Along with that, it also attempts to establish and reinforce a controlling mechanism on women. They refuse to see women not comply with it or break away from it. The concept of slut-shaming is one of patriarchy's greatest weapons against women.
One of the most often asked questions to sexual assault survivors is, "What were you wearing?" The unstated and troubling implication is that the clothes that were worn, if different, could have prevented the atrocity or would affect the level of sympathy being offered.
One of the most often asked questions to sexual assault survivors is, "What were you wearing?"
But all is not lost. There are multiple incidents where women and girls are fighting back at an individual and at the collective levels. Through emotion-evoking and creative means. An art exhibit called What Were You Wearing? was on display at the University of Kansas. The art project was created in 2013 and later featured at the University of Arkansas and the University of Iowa. It featured replicated clothing items similar to those worn by actual victims and survivors of sexual assault. It shatters the myth that provocative clothing incites rape.

Asami Nagakiya, a Japanese steel pan player was killed during the 2016 Carnival Season. Mayor Tim Kee said, "The woman has the responsibility to ensure she is not abused". There was enormous public outrage and The Not Asking For It campaign was born in response to these events. Started by photographer Fiona Crompton, the campaign aimed to break the culture of victim blaming through videos, music pieces, photo diaries.
Repost from @projectstepone. This is a mural in Dublin by @emmaleneblake. She designed it after a man was found not guilty for rape when the jury was asked to consider "the thong with the lace" that the survivor was wearing. This brings #awareness to the ridiculous cultural belief that clothing means survivors are #askingforit. Share your #metoo #whyididntreport story anonymously with @metoomeredith. Your voice MATTERS.

SlutWalk is a transnational movement calling for an end to rape culture, including victim-blaming and slut-shaming of sexual assault survivor/victims. The rallies began on April 3, 2011, in Toronto, Canada after a Toronto Police officer suggested that women should avoid dressing like sluts as a precaution against sexual assault. The first rally witnessed 3000 people turn out. Subsequent rallies have occurred globally in parts of the United States, Australia, Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Voicing views and rights – claiming public spaces and the right to being free – Expressed myself in placards in January 2017 My first-ever street march.

On July 16, 2011, about 50 people rallied for India's first SlutWalk in Bhopal called Besharmi Morcha. On July 31, 2011, the Besharmi Morcha took place in New Delhi that witnessed 500 supporters. A SlutWalk was held in Kolkata on May 24, 2012, with a gathering of 300 people. I Will Go Out was a nationwide March carried out on 21 January 2017 in India to demand women's rights to fair and equitable access to public spaces. People marched across 30 odd cities and towns across the country.
These collectives and campaigns generated positive changes and inspired many women to fight back and asserted their rights to not be slut-shamed, victim-blamed and moral policed. Perpetrators found themselves being forced to keep quiet, and sometimes even apologise. There is no guarantee that society won't slut-shame anymore, but fighting back is a united and sustained process with definite results. Moral of the story is: where there is resistance, there is hope.
