(Editor’s note: Mixed into a rambling narrative about the current state of affairs in the NFL loaded with historical and pop culture references, Mr. Brutal makes some football picks. Why does he call it the “War of 1812 Football Prognostication”? He likes history, he’s Canadian, and it probably has something to do with those two facts. That’s all we’ve got. We used to spend a long time editing these things. This year, you’re getting them raw… so enjoy the Canadian “flavour.”)

{ Bye: Cleveland, New Orleans, New York Giants, Pittsburgh }
……………….. 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time ……………..

Hamilton Tiger Cats (11-8) @ OTTAWA REDBLACKS (12-6) (-6) 50.5

…… The Hamilton Tiger Cats looked like they would win the East easily at the start of the season & they were the favourites to return to the Grey Cup, only this time to win it. Everything went according to plan until disaster struck when QB Zach Collaros { University of Cincinnati } went down with a season ending ACL tear. At the time, the Tabbies were 8-3, Collaros led the League with 3,376 yards, 25 Touchdowns and was a favourite to win the MVP. Since then, Hamilton has gone 3-5, lost their second string quarterback Jeff Mathews { Cornell } and thus will have to count on third string signal caller Jason Masoli {Oregon}.

….. Last week, Masoli did lead them over the Toronto Argonauts in the Eastern semi-final with a decent fourth quarter, but mostly it was the Hamilton special teams that beat the Argos 25-22. For some strange reason, Toronto insisted on kicking to Brandon “Speedy” Banks {Kansas State} who piled up 198 yards in returns.

…. The Ottawa Redblacks are an expansion team in their second year of existence. They are the third professional team to play in the Nation’s Capital. The Rough Riders existed for 120 years till 1996. Then the Renegades briefly played from 2002 till 2005.

….. The Redblacks went 2-16 in their inaugural season in 2014 and many called for the firing of Head Coach Rick Campbell { son of legendary Edmonton Eskimo Coach High Campbell } and the release of 40 year old journeyman quarterback Henry Burris { Temple} who had a horrendous season behind a poor offensive line and a dearth of skill players. Their turnaround to 12-6 this year is nothing short of an unprecedented miracle for a true expansion team.

…. Most of this has been due to the Renaissance of Henry Burris. Although third all time in career passing yardage with 61,164 yards, Burris had won only one CFL Grey Cup as a starter in Calgary in 2008. However, many felt that the Stampeders were a stacked team that couldn’t fail. He has won many awards, but the overall perception of him is a quarterback who has been durable, good in the regular season but Andy Dalton disappointing in big games time and time again.

…. This year the team made some excellent additions through signings, draft picks & trades. The result had Burris starting all 18 regular season games, leading the league in passing yardage { 5,703 yards, a record for anyone in pro football over 40 } 26 touchdowns, 13 interceptions & setting the CFL record for completions in a single season with 481.

….. The Redblacks have just beaten the Tiger Cats in their last two regular season games before earning the Bye. On November 1st they went into a very windy Ivor Wynne and came away with a gritty 12-6 win. The next week they clinched the East with a very lopsided 44-28 pounding of Hamilton in Ottawa whose final score was actually flattering due to late fourth quarter back door Tiger Cat touchdowns.

…… The weather Sunday in TD Place should be cold with a good chance of snow. The Redblacks are 7-2 at home and many of their rabid fans are hoping for these conditions. Ottawa is more balanced in its attack & Burris likes to throw deep and test a secondary a lot, bad weather, wind, rain be damned. He usually comes away with success.

……..The two defences are close, with Hamilton having a slight edge in experience but Ottawa’s unheralded group led the entire league in fewest yards allowed (297.6 per game), rushing yards (70.8 per game), completions (20.2 per game) and in total sacks at 62.

…….. The special teams are with Hamilton, number one in the League, but in the last two regular season games Ottawa neutralized them with strategic kicking & their own big returns.

…… This game is all about the old guy. Henry Burris has just played one of the most outstanding seasons by a player in his twilight in professional sports history. He has conquered age, bad weather, fan disapproval and taken some hellacious cheap shots. He actually gained respect by many doubters after getting angry for one of the few times in his career. In the final game of the year he got up off the turf after a late hit & threatened a Tiger Cat player who was being ejected.

….. When his teammates saw the unflappable Burris show that kind of passion they rallied around him & in that moment maybe realized they were all riding a season of destiny. Often these Conference Final games aren’t as close as one would think. Hamilton has just finished playing their 19th football game of the year. The rest from achieving the Bye for Ottawa means more than in many other sports.

…. Or maybe this is just a game of destiny for all of us over 40.

Pick: REDBLACKS (-6)

Oakland @ DETROIT (Even) 47.5

….. The Lions won last week in Green Bay for the first time since 1991. That was 24 years, 14 quarterbacks 9 head coaches & 4 Presidents ago. The Lions did everything they could to give it back to the Pack, …… several missed extra points, bad play calls and flubbing an onside kick with Calvin Johnson’s hands turning to stone..

….. In the weeks before the game, the Lions had fired the Team President, the General Manager & most of the coaching staff. If the template is to be trusted than the logical next step is set. “Last Man Standing” head coach Jim Caldwell should be fired this week by 90 year old Martha “The Axe” Ford. The new Lions’ owner has been surprisingly ruthless since emerging from hibernation this past month and taking firm control of the team’s fortunes.

….. Even if Martha the Axe decapitates Caldwell & promotes new OC Jim Bob Cooter to head coach, the Lions’ won’t win this game.

… The Raiders lost last week in Oakland because the Vikings had the much better defense. Still the Raiders hung around and had a chance to win before falling 20-16. Coming into Motor City with 3 deep threats at wideout, on the fast turf of Ford Field against the Lions’ fair to middling to lousy ( due to injuries ) secondary favours Oakland enormously.
…… Also, this is a dangerous trap game for Detroit. They are far too high after their historic win last week in Green Bay & the look-ahead next week to Thanksgiving dinner which they usually seem to be more concerned with than their Turkey Day opponent.
….. The Raiders can still smell the playoffs & for the first time in decades are angry at their uneven play last week. Derek Carr told the Oakland media they will not make the same mistakes this week in Detroit.
….. These are not your father’s parole officer’s Raiders.

Pick: Raiders (Even)
Bob: Oakland Even

Indianapolis @ ATLANTA (-7.5) 47.5

…… Coming off the Bye week, the Colts will once again turn to their 21st Century version of George Blanda. Forty year old Matt Hasselbeck will take the snaps in “Hotlanta.” …… Andrew Luck is gone with a lacerated kidney. Rumours have Owner Jim Irsay flying to impoverished cities in the Far East with bags of money & briefcases full of prescription drugs searching for suitable organ donors in case drastic measures are needed.

Pick: Colts (+7.5)
Bob: Atlanta -7.5
New York Jets (-2.5) @ HOUSTON 41.5

….. Appraising the Offence of the Houston Texans reminds us of a critic who once commented on the Operas of Richard Wagner.

“They have their moments, …… but they also have their hours.”
…… But that sentiment is all about to change. After last week’s Monday night victory over Cincinnati, nothing it appears can stop the Texas Express. Recently resigned QB T. J. Yates came off the bench, threw a perfect, indefensible TD strike to WR DeAndre Hopkins who caught it with one hand late in the game. The Texans who always seem to have the Bengals’ number upset the tame tabbies 10-6.
….. Yates has the Bengals’ number, he beat them several years ago in the playoffs. We don’t believe he has a similar record against the Jets. HC Todd Bowles has had 10 days to prepare after the 22-17 loss last Thursday to the Buffalo Bills.

… Jets’ QB Ryan Fitzpatrick vows to play after surgery on his non throwing hand, which means first round backup Geno “The Chin” Smith is unlikely to play, ….. which is a good thing.

…… This also means Geno can go back to his half-assed approach to preparing to play quarterback for the Jets. He then can clandestinely continue full throttle training for his post NFL, MMA career. In about five years as their twin careers are in irreversible decline, he and the suddenly beatable Ronda Rousey can meet in a big payday cage match that would make Mickey Rourke, Danny Bonaduce & Tonya Harding proud.

…. The Jets’ defence is more aggressive than the Bengals. After all, Yates & the Texans only scored one touchdown and ten points against Cincinnati. New York rebounds off the 10 days’ rest to revive their playoff hopes.

Pick: Jets (-2.5)
Bob: Jets +2.5
Tampa Bay @ PHILADELPHIA (-7) 45.5

….. Well we knew it would happen. QB Sam Bradford would go down at some point this season because he is the “Dead Mummy Walking” of the NFL. He left the game against Miami with a concussion & shoulder injury. We were surprised he lasted this long.

….. The saddest thing is that Mad Scientist Chip Kelly had to send in backup Mark Sanchez, one of the worst high draft pick, high expectation, high level of dissapointment quarterbacks ever. He stunk the Linc out in leading the Eagles to predictable defeat at the hands of Troglodyte Head Coach Dan Campbell and the South Florida Sleeping Manatees.

….. Well stunk may be strong, ……Sanchez threw some nice balls, including a TD pass, but with 4 minutes left, trailing only 20-19 and in the red zone, Sanchez throws a skull cracking interception, costing the Eagles the game.
….. Sam Bradford could have signed a ridiculously generous 4 year extension with the Eagles in the pre-season with a huge guarantee. However he and/or his deluded advisers thought playing the season out would benefit them all more. We prophesied that this was a big mistake.

…… so is starting Mark Sanchez and hoping to cover 7 points.

Pick: Buccaneers (+7)
Bob: TB +7

Denver @ CHICAGO (Even) 43
……The Bears have awakened from their hibernation & a Sold Out Soldier Field could serve them well in the wind and cold this Sunday.

……. Denver’s Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre’s all time passing yardage record last Sunday in the embarrassing 29-13 home loss to Kansas City. He then was either rested and/or benched, forcibly put into real-time in-game rehabilitation/relaxation or eased into starting the final process of professional career euthanasia.

…. It all smelled like a Faustian Deal from the beginning with owner John Elway keeping Peyton Android starting this season just long enough to achieve that record.

…. That is until he is:

1.) ….. sent to the shop for a total refit, ….

2.) ….. the scrapyard, ….

3.) ….. or heading to retirement on the lost island of Misfit Toys.

….. Enter Paul Bunyan, QB Brock Osweiller, the 6’5″ tree from Arizona State. One could argue this will be the best quarterbacking the Broncos have received this year, barring Peyton’s one good game after the Bye.

…… This is the best the Bears have looked in two years and they are riding a two game winning streak coming home.

…… This is also the best Bears’ QB Jay Cutler has looked since he switched to filter tipped cigarettes. The Bears have awakened from their hibernation & a rowdy Soldier Field should serve them well in intimidating a young quarterback.
Pick: BEARS (Even)
Bob: Chicago Even

Saint Louis @ BALTIMORE (Even) 42.5

….. Both these teams gave away home games last week to underdogs they should have beaten.

….. Rams’ Head Coach Jeff Fisher made the decisive/random/desperate/clueless decision to bench Nick Foles and announce Case Keenum as the starting pivot.

….. We actually loved Keenum when he played at the University of Houston, breaking records left and right. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a great NFL arm. If you are going to go with Keenum you also need to tweek your offence to be more like the system he ran in college. It doesn’t have to be Oregon speed, but it should involve a semi no-huddle approach run with rhythm. You need multiple wide receiver sets & time to develop chemistry between the receivers and the quarterback.

….. Jeff Fisher will ignore that since he thinks it is still 1990 & just order OC Frank Cignetti to call more running plays to RB Todd Gurley, …. who has been great this year, but as a result of his success has made the Rams even more one dimensional than Ted Cruz talking about terrorist threats from refugees.

….. However, in this game against the Salmonella & Avian Encephalomyelitis ravaged flock of Ravens, running back Gurley will run free as Baltimore’s run defense is abominable. Keenum will at least be a personality boost from Nick Foles and the Rams won’t need to do much to keep this close and pull out a win.

Pick: Rams (Even)
Bob: Baltimore Even

Dallas @ MIAMI (Even) 47.5

…… The Dolphins got a great pass rush last week against the Eagles despite the loss of their best pass rusher, DE Cameron Wake for the season.

….. DT Ndamukong Suh has been mostly responsible with his improved play lately, but with his humongous contract his interest wanes.

….. Obviously he needs motivation to play up to his abilities. We suggest planting internet stories quoting Cowboy officials saying that they didn’t want to sign him as a free agent in the off season due to his lackadaisical efforts in Detroit, …. also, that he hasn’t played as well as Cowboy DE Greg Hardy and doesn’t possess his elevated moral fibre that is required for a free agent to put on a Dallas jersey.

…. Speaking of Hardy, he was fined this week by the Cowboys for missing a team meeting. He also had another televised minor blowup on the sidelines with a teammate last week against the Buccaneers.

….. A Dallas spokesman explained the fine by saying that the football team has very high standards, ……… when it comes to team rules.

…. Tony Romo is back this week and that is why this game is even. Sorry not buying the hype that he alone will put them on an undefeated winning streak into the playoffs.

Pick: DOLPHINS (Even)
Bob: Dallas Even
Washington @ CAROLINA (-8.5) 45

….. We underestimated Washington in their game last week with New Orleans. Well actually we underestimated how bad the Saints defence truly is. For example, before last Sunday’s game, Beltway QB Kirk Cousins had not thrown a TD pass this year over 11 yards of his 14 total.

…… In this game he threw Touchdown passes of: 16, 11, 78, 8. he torched the very porous Saints secondary, going 20/25 for 324 yards & a QB rating of 158.3.
….. However, the Saints are usually the best week for all opposing quarterbacks.

…. This week won’t be as easy.

…. Still, that is a big spread.
Pick: Aboriginal Morgue Remains Trophies (+8.5)
Bob: Skins +8.5
……………….. 4:05 – 4:25 pm Eastern Standard Time …………..

Kansas City (-3) @ SAN DIEGO 45
…… The Kansas City offence has actually improved since they lost super HB/WR/H-Back/Slot Receiver Jamaal Charles for the year a month ago.

….. The Chiefs defense has also improved. They are now top five in pass rushing & DE Justin Houston is wreaking havoc on offensive lines. This is bad news for the Chargers who are dead last in pass protection and are still missing three starters on the offensive line and another wide receiver.

……. Usually the Chargers collapse late in the year and miss the playoffs. This year it won’t be necessary as they have already flat-lined.

Pick: Chiefs (-3)
Bob: SD +3

Green Bay @ MINNESOTA (Even) 45

….. Could the Packers drop four in a row? Green Bay needs an easy defence to prime Rodgers & the offense. Unfortunately the Vikings have a head coach in Mike Zimmer who has always had well above average defenses, whether they were in Dallas, Cincinnati or Minnesota.

…. Now news comes that Aaron Rodgers is injured and might not start. We don’t believe that, it’s just a management group trying to disrupt the Vikes’ preparation or they are running interference against the latest Kardashian quality journalism that is plaguing Wisconsin speculating as to the state of Aaron Rodgers’ “Living or dating in sin!” relationship with unrepentant hussy cougar actress Olivia Munn.

…. If Rodgers doesn’t start this week we have a suggestion. Quickly sign Brett Favre out of retirement & have him start this game. Oh, don’t let him play the whole thing, just long enough to retake his passing yardage record back from Peyton Manning. This will then force the Broncos to think about restarting Peyton to meet their Faustian obligations to Manning or sticking with trying to win games.

….. Then the Packers could continue to play Favre only when Manning retakes the record & this could go on all year and be a pleasant Grumpy Old Men distraction from the regular yearly mundane fabricated football stories. It sure will temporarily derail the Midwest population’s current distraction with Aaron Rodger’s private life.
Pick: VIKINGS (Even)
Bob: Vikes Even

San Francisco @ SEATTLE (-13) 40

….. Can Blaine Gabbert win again against the former scourges of the NFC West? Normally we’d say no, but after watching the Seahawks collapse last week at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

…. Oh what the hell are we thinking? …… one good game does not a career make over all the horrific video we have watched of Mr. Gabbert @ Missouri & Jacksonville.
Pick: SEATTLE (-13)
Bob: Seattle -13
………………… 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time ………………..
CFL Western Final:

Calgary Stampeders (15-4) @ EDMONTON ESKIMOS (14-4) (-2) 47.5
(15-4) (14-4)

….. The Battle of Alberta resumes. It’s the Provincial Capital in the North against the Oil City in the South. Very eerily analogous to Austin, Texas playing Houston, Texas in a cultural sense.

….. Edmonton put together the best last stretch of anyone in the League, winning their last 8 games to clinch the Bye over Calgary. This streak coincides with the return of Edmonton starting quarterback Mike Reilly from injury. Their last loss was September 7th against the Stampeders on Labour Day in Calgary when they dropped a very close, hard hitting game, 16-7. However, they rebounded just 5 days later with a more convincing 27-16 win in Edmonton, starting their undefeated streak to the end of the year. Then in their third meeting on October 10, back in Calgary, Edmonton won again in a tough one, 15-11 to win the season series 2-1.

…… In the same stretch of games, those two losses to the Eskimos are the only defeats that the Stampeders have experienced. Calgary are the Grey Cup defending champions who easily defeated British Columbia last week 35-9. This ruined the inaugural head coaching year of the Lions’ Jeff Tedford { HC California, OC Tampa Bay, OC Oregon }

…… This match-up of course, much like the NFL will be all about the quarterbacks. Mike Reilly { Central Washington} for Edmonton against Bo Levi Mitchell { Eastern Washington, SMU }. Reilly has made the Eskimos into a solid team since his return from injury. His leadership & scrambling skills have been the major difference in the victories over Calgary.

….. Mitchell may be the best QB in the league, but his team just couldn’t handle Edmonton like they did last year when they rolled over them on their way to the title. The Eskimo defence gives Mitchell and the offense a lot of trouble in all areas.

…. However, the biggest factor in this game could be the loss of two starting offensive linemen for the Stampeders, injured in last week’s win over the Lions. The team scrambled to sign two replacements this week.
…. All the karmic signs point to an Edmonton win. Oil continues to fall & hits $40 a barrel, depressing the drilling & pipeline sector and most importantly the inflated Calgary housing & condiminium market worse than in any other city. The recent Federal election even resulted in the victorious Liberals winning four seats in this the most conservative province in the country. Two of these were won in Calgary itself, the most conservative city in Canada and the home of just defeated Prime Minister Harper.

…. Last spring the Province of Alberta for the first time in their entire history elected a non right wing government to take power. The Socialist NDP won an unexpected majority and now sit in Edmonton governing a faltered Petrol State that bet everything on rising oil prices, low taxes & ignored/neglected other crucial areas of governance.
…… all the momentum is with the Edmonton Eskimos. The weather could dip to freezing, but the wind should be under 15 mph & precipitation should not be a factor.

…… In a game this tight we’ll take the team that has won eight straight, the season series 2-1, possesses the hotter quarterback, the one week’s rest, the home crowd, the healthier roster & karmic destiny.

Pick: ESKIMOS (-2)
………………… 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time …………………..
Cincinnati @ ARIZONA (-5) 48.5

…. If the Bengals were still undefeated, this might have had the feel of one of the best games of the year. Carson Palmer playing his old team. The Cardinals coming in off the decisive win in Seattle. Andy Dalton vying for NFL MVP. The tough Arizona secondary against the depth of the Cincinnati receiving corps.

….. But after one unfortunate albeit predictable loss last week to Houston, everybody is abandoning our “Team of Destiny,” the Cincinnati Bengals. We feel that the stink-bomb on Monday night was just bad karma that couldn’t be avoided.

…… Just the week before, the University of Cincinnati lost a tough 33-30 game to the University of Houston. This obviously unnerved the Bengals and reminded them of their own terrible past games against the Houston Texans.

….. We all now the Bengals’ terrible history in prime-time, non Thursday night games. However they have only lost once, by four points & only gave up one touchdown in that game, losing 10-6.

….. As good as Arizona is, we like this game to be close & the Bengals to cover the crooked number. That is if Andy Dalton can stop crying and put J.J. Watts’ oh-so-mean post game name calling behind him and TE Tyler Eifert doesn’t turn into Edward Scissorhands for the second week in a row.
Pick: Bengals (+5)
Bob: Arizona -5

………………… 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time …………………..

Buffalo @ NEW ENGLAND (-9) 49

…… One hundred and sixty six years ago this week in 1849 Fyodor Dostoyevsky first started writing the outline for his epic “Crime & Punishment” while imprisoned in a Siberian gulag. Fyodor was arrested because he was a member of a secret sect of liberal Utopians who were imprisoned because they threatened the reign of Czar Nicholas I. While being lined up for the firing squad, they were mysteriously spared at the last moment by a note from the Czar himself that commuted all the condemned men to 10 years in the worst prisons on earth.

….. After six years as a guest of the Czar’s generosity in Central Asia, he was forced into military service to finish his sentence in another part of Siberia. His health was permanently ruined, he almost died like countless others, but it motivated him to start writing all the ideas that swirled about in his tortured mind before he died.

…. In 1866 “Crime & Punishment” had its first segments published in Russian periodicals. From then to the Russian Revolution during WWI, Bolshevik, Menshevik and even Monarchist opponents of the Romanov Dynasty cited it as a rallying cry to inspire the eventual overthrow of the Russian royal family. At worst, the Romanovs were criminal despots who oversaw the slaughter, starvation & neglect of millions of Russians. At best they were criminally ignorant & detached monarchs who had hopelessly lost touch with the peasant masses.

….. The lasting legacy of the Dostoyevsky literature is that it has motivated intellectuals & revolutionaries of all political stripes to counter tyranny all over the world, even to this very day.

…… It hasn’t been 166 years since the Buffalo Bills last won in Massachusetts, but it isn’t too late to stand up against the Tyranny of Patriot Despotism. In fact the Bills won a game in Gillette Stadium last year, but that doesn’t really count. It was a meaningless end of season game that the Patriots used like a preseason contest to prepare for the playoffs. No, the last real win was in 2000 when the Bills beat them 16-13 in OT, …. only to lose the rematch a month later 13-10, also in OT back in Buffalo.

…… Since then, the rise of the despicable Patriot regime has continued ostensibly unabated. Seemingly borne of immoral behaviour, underhanded administrative techniques, altered drug tests, the employment of sleazy private investigators [ some who may have previously worked for Central American Juntas, the Russian FSB or as Watergate burglars ] voodoo witch doctors, in depth utilization of the dark net, blatant in-game cheating & unparalleled success on the football field.

……. All this has done is cause everyone to believe the phrase “Nice guys finish Last” is a scientific fact and that the existence of a benevolent Football God of Judgment is very much in doubt.
…… That all ends Monday Night. Even though we doubt that any current Buffalo Bill player or coach has read “Crime & Punishment”

…. [ Intellectuals Marv Levy, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Turk Schonert & Billy Joe Gun-rack Hobert are no longer with the team ] ……

……. it still isn’t too late to apply its inherent literary metaphors & stand up against the Dictatorship of Patriot Despotism against the Proletariat.

……They haven’t been this vulnerable since Drew Bledsoe was starting. We know injuries haven’t affected the Patriots much in the past, but sooner or later they will.

….. RB Dion Lewis is gone for the year….. “Better Results through Prescriptions” WR Julian Edelman looks like his season might be over. He went down last week with a broken foot. If he returns before the playoffs, we will just have to attribute it to another Patriot medical miracle or confirm our suspicions that this team is obviously the favourite of the rumoured Almighty.

………. At least so far as it looks right now, neither Edelman’s new “miracle” training methods, his personal hyperbaric sleeping chamber, his visits to the on-line Oracle of Delphi, his special access to Tom Brady’s Holistic Life coach or his totally organically built Scott Steiner biceps will be able to bring him back to the football field for this Monday night.
……. WR Danny Ammendola cannot run the same quick slants as precisely or consistently as Edelman. Golden Boy Brady has continued to take more hits, including last week from the Washington football club of the forbidden name.

…… If the Bills play the same basic game plan as last week, don’t turn it over & Tyrod Taylor runs without reluctance the overthrow of Czar Belichik and the Kraftonov regime can commence.
Pick: Buffalo (+9)
Bob: Bills +9

WARC-Type: response

Thinking about my personal experiences living through this crisis, I am incredibly proud of the high level of flexibility my family and co-workers are demonstrating. Creating a more sustainable and resilient world has always been part of Triodos Investment Management’s vision, and we are a team of engaged and committed people, but for some, the reality of working from home alone or juggling young and school-aged children has been tough. We have had to find new ways of interacting to create motivational mindsets, and what has been unveiled is a new level of solidarity, empathy and care.

We can’t afford to rebuild the old situation

Reflecting more broadly, we live in relatively peaceful times, yet somehow we have organised ourselves as a global society experiencing climate change and problematic levels of inequality both between and within countries. I fear for people in developing countries whose governments don’t have a war chest to draw on. Many of them work in informal economies and there are no economic safety nets. It’s a tragedy of unprecedented proportions. My fear is that unless we make the bold decisions now to address climate change and the gap between the haves and the have-nots, we will merely end up rebuilding the old situation. We need to think about how we deal with issues like wildlife trade, protecting biodiversity and globalisation. To ignore them would jeopardise our future stability. It is crucial that we learn from our past and create a new norm. There is no time for continued apathy and complacency.

Government relief needs to support long-term objectives

The fragility of our economic system has been exposed and the emergency demands an emergency response. Government relief measures are short-term focused, and decisions are being taken to salvage jobs, cushion losses and get us to the year’s end with as little damage as possible. But as much as they can, these decisions also need to support longer-term objectives. Governments need to show restraint in terms of providing support without conditionality, especially for large companies that have made massive profits at the expense of negative social and environmental impacts; I’m thinking those in the oil and gas, mining and airline industries. Many of them are receiving support but have in recent times distributed large dividends and paid excessive salaries and bonuses. It is not unreasonable to place conditions on their governmental financial support.

This time, the financial sector can be part of the solution, by providing the right kind of debt and supporting those who aim to build a more resilient economy.

Finance sector needs to step up

Unlike previous financial crises, this time the finance sector is not the root cause but rather part of the solution. Right now, is a litmus test for how investors and lenders engage with investees and borrowers. Now more than ever it’s important to ask how we get through this together. Do we try to minimise our short-term financial losses by calling in debt and thereby increasing liquidity problems of others?

Or do we take a longer-term perspective and think more creatively about how we can provide the right type of finance or even forgive some debt? The sector needs to start backing small and medium size enterprises and embracing innovation and new technologies that support resilience building.

Covid-19 is affecting every human being on the planet, every country and every economy. Destruction and devastation are unavoidable, but we need to ask ourselves what kind of world do we want to rebuild? What steps do we need to take to move forward? If we don’t consciously use this moment to lock in new practices and do things differently then we risk repeatedly facing similar challenges in the future. We need to bounce forward, not back.

Whether you write weekly, monthly or quarterly blogs for your clients, coming up with fresh content ideas for blogs can get tougher as time passes. Finding new things to say on a specific niche topic or specialist subject doesn’t always come naturally to copywriters, who might not be experts in that particular field. If you’re struggling with blog ideas to flesh out your content calendar, these tactics should help.

Set up Google Alerts

Whatever industry your client is in, setting up Google alerts means you’ll always be one step ahead when it comes to breaking news stories. Google Alerts monitors the web for mentions of specific keywords you choose. While it makes sense to monitor specific brand terms, it can also be helpful to monitor generic industry-related terms too.

So, if your client was a travel company, setting up alerts for “holidays” “vacations” and “flights” will mean you have a fresh supply of news stories and updates delivered to your inbox as they happen. Go to google.com/alerts and enter a search term to track for blog inspiration.

Update existing blogs

If your client’s blog has been active for several years, this can be a great source of inspiration. Older blogs might include outdated information, or could be written in a way that isn’t optimised for SEO to the standards you would recommend. Updating older blogs with new information or optimising them for keywords can produce great results with a minimum of effort. Creating follow-up blogs with more detailed information and linking to the older pieces is another option.

Consuming content is just as important as creating it. Reading online articles and thought pieces, watching vlogs, looking at memes and laughing at the latest viral joke on social media isn’t just entertaining, it helps content creators understand what kinds of content work (and don’t work), and ensures that the content you create is fresh, fun and engaging.

Curate your own content library with Feedly. Organise your sources into Feeds by client or industry, save articles to read later, and skim-read the insights you need to keep ahead.

Answer the Public

One easy way to find blog topics is by answering questions people are searching for in your client’s field. How can you find out what questions they’re asking? With Answer the Public. Simply type in a word or phrase and the tool will return dozens of commonly asked questions in that area. So, let’s say I searched for “holidays” again, some of the questions returned are:

  • Are holidays allowed?
  • Are holidays to Spain cancelled?
  • Why holidays are important for students
  • Will holidays go ahead in October
  • Holidays where you don’t need to quarantine
  • What holidays can I go on?

Repurpose existing content

From whitepapers and infographics to industry updates, press releases and social media posts, many content forms can be repurposed into blogs to work even harder. Ask the client to keep you in the loop from their end so that you are aligned with the content they’re sending out on their channels.

Online Forums

Websites like Reddit and Quora might be fun for light entertainment and falling down conspiracy theory rabbit holes, but for digital marketers, they can be a treasure trove of information. Subscribe to industry-specific threads to chat with other digital marketers, or simply lurk to learn about algorithm updates and new social media features before they make the headlines. These sorts of updates and insights can help you generate ideas for new types of content.

HONIARA – Communities along the coastline of Malaita Province have transformed degraded natural environments in recent years – and have improved their access to local foods as a consequence.

People in this most populous province of Solomon Islands have depended for their livelihoods directly on what nature provides: roots, fruit from forest trees, and fish and other marine animals and plants.

But these natural resources have been under increasing pressure. As in many other places in the world, the resources here were carelessly managed in the face of growing human populations and increasing need to harvest them for food and other uses.

To turn this situation around, several communities have worked with WorldFish Solomon Islands, a fisheries NGO, which has done most of the work in setting up the conservation sites. The provincial government’s fisheries division has also helped.

Now the Malaitan people are benefiting from the conservation of local sea resources, and discovering that the “modern” conservation techniques they’ve been introduced to are the same practices that were used in the past.

The Fumamato’o success story

Manaoba Island is located on the north-eastern part of Malaita. It is the home of the Fumamato’o community, which lives along the Lau Lagoon.

The community decided to protect its marine resources in 2013, and has already benefited greatly from its efforts. Before, this island community was a victim to overharvesting of fish, trochus, sea cucumbers, clam shells, and many other sea creatures.

But now, overharvesting is a thing of the past, thanks to chair of the Manaoba Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA), Mr Dominick Tuita, and his team.

During an interview with the Malaita Star magazine, Mr Tuita said Fumamato’o was like any other coastal community in Malaita Province.

“The people depend heavily on their sea for income and food,” Mr Tuita said.

The island of Manaoba is well known to the Tobaita people, Mbaelelea people and Baegu people as the main provider of fish and other seafood. But Mr Tuita said that the overharvest of marine resources had taken a toll.

In 2013, the people of Manaoba realised that they needed to change as they observed that resources were running out. They formed a committee to set up an LMMA.

“There are two areas where we restricted fishing: one is a total marine protected area and the other is open-and-close area,” Mr Tuita explained.

In the protected area, fishing is banned. In the close-and-open area, harvesting is allowed once a month.

“We usually open it at the end of each month to allow villagers to fish for income or for community gatherings. When we open the open-and-close area, we invite fishermen from nearby communities to come and fish. During harvest day, everyone is welcome to fish,” Mr Tuita said.

As a result of close management, fish were now present in greater numbers and larger sizes.

Some fish species that they thought were extinct had returned to the fishing ground.

“The marine protected area and the open-and-close area made a big difference,” Mr Tuita stated.

The women of Fumamato’o also benefit greatly from the locally managed marine area.

Betty Koidi, in an interview with the Malaita Star, said that fish was now available in big number and large sizes, which greatly helped in the marketing of the fish.

Mrs Koidi said the women of Fumamato’o could sell one fish for SBD$10.00 (US$1.20) and above. Before the locally managed marine area was set up, they struggled, as there was not enough fish and the fish they did catch were small.

“We women will strive and work together with the men and youths of this community to maintain the open-and-close area for our benefit,” Mrs Koidi said.

Mr Tuita said the Manaoba LMMA operated under clear rules.

“If we find you fishing in the marine protected area, you will pay a fine of SBD$500 (US$61.00),” he said.

A group caught fishing illegally in the area at the beginning of the year paid a fine of $500 and a live pig.

He said the surrounding communities knew about the rules and were working with Fumamato’o.

“At first other communities found it hard to accept, but as they learn about the benefits of the marine protected area, they start to work together with us”, he said.

Sea resources protected on a taboo site at Mararo

The Mararo Community Based Organization in East Are’Are has taken steps to conserve its marine resources at the Puriasi Management Area.

The area is a unique place that also contains traditional taboo sites.

According to Tony Atitete, the community put rules in place to safeguard the area from being exploited and to scare away potential intruders.

Mr Atitete told the Malaita Star that the area was important for their tribe for the taboo site that their ancestors used to conduct their traditional form of worship.

Because the site was being managed to honour culture and to protect the natural resources, it was becoming a breeding area for marine life.

He said the community aimed to preserve the marine resources for future generations. Rules prohibit the catching of certain animals and from some fishing methods for three years, and ban the collection of mangrove trees for firewood, and the “unnecessary” cutting of trees.

After the three years, the taboo area would be opened only for one week for any special occasion, and then closed again.

Anyone found to have breached the rules would face fines of up to SBD$500 (US$61.00).

Mr Atitete said the management plan had been developed and endorsed by surrounding communities.

Although the hillsides of the Puriasi Management Area is covered with thick virgin forest, and its shoreline with mangroves, there was a persistent threat from a logging operation nearby. Mr Atitete said he feared that the Puriasi Management Area would be disturbed if the logging company went into full-scale operation.

Conservation an ancient practice in East Kwaio

Marine conservation has been regarded as a longstanding part of the East Kwaio culture.

East Kwaio man Tome Arika said during a recent meeting with WorldFish and Malaita Province government officials that the “modern” conservation technique they were being taught was similar to the traditional conservation practices of Kwaio people.

“Personally, I find this concept blends in well with our traditional setting,” Mr Arika said.

“Before, we restricted these fishing grounds only for feast days. At that time this place was full of fish and turtles.

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes. But today people overharvest fish and shells.”

Mr Arika, who holds onto the ancient Kwaio way of worshipping, said the increase in the coastal human population had put much pressure on the sea resources.

“Today you will hardly find fish in the fishing grounds, which were formerly conserved by our forefathers. There are fish, but they are small in size and less in numbers.

“I think we are all in support of looking after marine resources because we want to make life easy for ourselves,” he said.

The Tahoes: “Breakout” – staying true to their roots

Reggae-rock band The Tahoes is made up of Glenn Sauber [Lead Vocals], Joshua Bluegreen-Cripps [Trumpet], Darren Thompson [Vocals, Guitar], Joel Gieseker [Bass], & Micah Stoufer [Drums]. They’ve played for huge crowds at the Sonoma County Fair, the Booneville Beer Festival, The Sonoma County Harvest fair and have opened for national touring artists The Mad Caddies, Fishbone and The Aggrolites. The Tahoes is one of those bands that just hit you. They write great music, with smart sharp-witted lyrics that can help give you a better insight into things. The opening verse of their new single, “Breakout”, is a prime example: “there are saints who are sinners / there are tens who are zeros / cops aren’t all saviors or villains / not all soldiers are heroes.”

The Tahoes aren’t attempting to become the next innovator of music, instead they have a simple idea and execute it perfectly and it is prominent from the start. This is a genre that used to be dominated by Sublime in the 90’s, and just about abandoned and left to its own doings today.

Thank heavens there still are a handful of bands like The Tahoes able to keep the genre-flag flying. “Breakout” as is an instantly likeable track. It excels in the fact that this type of music is made to be easy on the ears. Fans of Sublime or anyone into the Reggae/Rock genre will find this track instantly at home with their taste. Just sit back, relax, and drift away.

Like the bands before them, The Tahoes have satisfied the West Coast and the world’s need for psychedelic, bluesy, soulful, rock with a heavy hint of island reggae and ska. The driving rhythm, and groovy bass line are staples as the group pour some melody and energy into “Breakout”.

The structure and delivery are, as to be expected, top-notch. It has taken a few listens to really get the gears going, but once moving, the track will really start to make sense. The band obviously has a vision and they are nailing it here.

Since the Rasta vibration broke out in 1976, the roots reggae to dub, dancehall, rock, ska and various fusions of reggae music has been hot on the West Coast. The number of bands drawn by the ‘good vibes’ inclination of roots reggae and it’s sub-genres in California is far superior than almost any other place in the world I can think of, outside of Jamaica.

Yet for whatever reason, a look at the current mainstream world charts tell us that the crossover Cali sound has a harder time than the regular ska, punk, reggae, rap, rock vibes in making it outside of the West coast region or the national circuit of the United States. Which is a shame because it impedes band’s like The Tahoes to achieve the world fame they deserve.

The Tahoes have a predisposition for being crowd-pleasers, as they bring so many fused styles to the table that most people could find something they liked. The band sound at their best on “Breakout” as they find the balance between all their influences.

The Tahoes have created a soundtrack to complement their quest for excellence, and prove that hard work, perseverance and staying true to their roots is their path to creating genre-bending music with integrity.

The “popularity” of the labiaplasty procedure (reduction in size of the labia minora) has skyrocketed over the last several years and for many good reasons. In fact, its rate of growth as reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is among the top two in the United States. This is even in spite of the fact that it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance companies.

The substantial publicity for labiaplasty surgery in addition to its increasing popularity have also attracted the attention of many physicians who are seeking ways to increase their bottom line. Unfortunately, there are some surgeons who either don’t fully have your interests at heart (actually lower than your heart!) or may have good intentions but not the skills or knowledge of the appropriate techniques in order to provide you with a reasonable and safe outcome.

Do you really want to take such chances with your very import area?

Didn’t think so!

Intuitively, it would seem to make sense that your Obstetrician/Gynecologist should be able to perform a decent labiaplasty. After all, he/she is directly in the area much of the time. Many do market the procedure at an aggressively discounted price – often far less than what skilled specialists may charge. It sounds like a great deal at first but: BUYER BEWARE!

It is not uncommon for at least some of them to use fast and significantly less than precise and gentle techniques to remove extra labial tissue and repair the wounds. This can increase the risks for inferior outcomes including infection, symptomatic scarring, deformities, noticeable asymmetries and even pain with sex. Corrective surgery may then need to be done which also results in more expenses, downtime and physical and emotional trauma.

A reputable plastic surgeon, board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, who has experience in labiaplasty surgery should be the surgeon with whom you entrust your very vital area to. Precision, meticulousness and a gentle technique – critical skills of plastic surgeons – are the important factors that will likely lead to the exact outcome that you are seeking and with a lower risk of undesirable problems.

And, you DON’T want any undesirable problems there!

What are the functions of Network Layer?

Computer NetworkNetworkOperating System

The network layer offers its functions to the transport layer, and for that, it takes services of the data link layer. Its functions are carried out by adding a header to every Network Service data unit (N-SDU). This header is in the form of Protocol Control Information (PCI). Thus a formed Network protocol data unit is transported over the existing data-link connection.

The functions of the network layer are as follows −

Network Connection

When the Network layer receives a call request from the transport layer, it establishes a network connection across the subnetwork. For this, it makes use of data link connections. The end system's network layer interacts with the network layer of the subnetwork access point for this purpose.

The Network Layer selects an appropriate route between source and destination device. This route is either decided in the beginning or for each N-SDU, depending on the type of services. The routing functions are facilitated by sub layering of the network layer.

For optimum use of data link connections, many network connections are sometimes required to be multiplexed on a single data-link connection. This is done by a network entity that can multiplex several network connections on a data link connection, as shown in the figure.

Error Detection

The network layer uses error detection functions to ensure that the quality of service provided over the network connection is maintained. Most of the errors are detected and corrected at the data link layer. The residual errors, Network Layer, notifies any. It relies on the quality of service provided, and the network layer incorporates the mechanism for error recovery.

Other Functions

The network service data unit is segmented at the network layer, and blocking is done to produce a network protocol data unit (N-PDU). The delimiter of NSDU is preserved during segmenting and blocking.

The process is shown in the figure. The network entity also carries out sequencing and flow control of network service data units on request of the transport layer. At the request of the transport layer, it can reset the network connection too.

Interest lodged around irrigation scheme

Council recently submitted a Statement of Intent (SOI) to the Minister for Planning, John Rau, for the Northern Food Bowl Protection Areas Development Plan Amendment (DPA).

With the Northern Adelaide Irrigation Scheme (NAIS) project rapidly advancing, council sought to make this DPA a priority.

Minister Rau endorsed the SOI, and Adelaide Plains Council management will now prioritise the advancement of the DPA, which ultimately will provide opportunities for investment and employment growth.

Commenting on behalf of the CEO, APC’s general manager of development and community, Robert Veitch, said the week leading up to Easter had been a good week for council.

“On the Monday, the state government announced its commitment of $110 million to the NAIS, and a couple of days later, Minister Rau informed us he was in agreement with the SOI,” Mr Veitch said.

The extension of the Virginia Pipeline System (VPS) will provide treated wastewater for irrigation, thereby facilitating the growth of food production north of the Gawler River.

The (NAIS) project will enable an additional 20 gigalitres of recycled water to be available for irrigation on the Northern Adelaide Plains.

This will facilitate the expansion of irrigation in horticulture and field and fodder crops, and other food production related uses as well as the creation of approximately 3500 jobs.

The DPA will seek to provide opportunities for investment and employment growth throughout Adelaide’s northern food bowl areas.

The area affected by the proposed DPA comprises approximately 30,000 hectares of land within the Adelaide Plains Council area including land zoned as primary production (approximately 28 000 hectares) and land zoned as horticulture (approximately 3000 hectares).

It is also council’s intention to introduce new flood hazard maps into the Development Plan to provide more comprehensive and up-to-date information on the level of hazard for areas within the floodplains of both the Gawler River and the Light River.

This is crucial to ensuring a risk based approach is administered when determining development of the areas potentially affected from inundation of flood water from both the Light and Gawler Rivers.

By amending the Development Plan policy, infrastructure efficiencies will be maximised as will the ongoing protection of Adelaide’s northern food bowl areas.

At the recent April 18 ordinary council meeting council members voted to go ahead immediately with the preparation of the DPA, committing to have it completed by December 1 of this year.

“It is a fairly ambitious timeframe,” Mr Veitch said, however is confident that it will be achieved, “this is very good for the APC and everyone will benefit.”

At Total Wound Care Solutions (TWS), our goal is to make ordering your wound dressings and durable medical equipment quick and easy. For your convenience, we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions and their answers.

How do I start using TWS?

Ask your physician to have TWS supply your wound care dressings. Once your doctor places your order, TWS will process your claim, we then ship your dressings to your home or nursing home, and bill your insurance.

What products does TWS carry?

When it comes to wound care dressings, TWS is a “one-stop-shop”. Whatever dressings your doctor uses in their office, we carry. We never substitute!

Check out our list of available products here.

Can TWS bill my insurance for my supplies?

Yes. TWS works with Medicare or your commercial insurance provider to handle all paperwork and billing for your wound dressings.

What if my wound(s) heal and I have unopened/unused dressings?

If you have unopened dressings you won’t need, simply contact our toll-free number and at no cost to you, we will have FedEx pick up any leftover dressings. Once the package arrives at our office your insurance will be reimbursed accordingly.

Can TWS supply me while I am being seen by a Home Health Nurse?

Yes! So long as your primary insurance is not Medicare, we can provide your dressings and handle all of the paperwork with your commercial insurance provider. If you have Medicare and are being discharged from home health, and you still have wound dressing needs, your home health nurse can set you up with our services upon discharge.

What if my insurance doesn’t cover supplies or I have an out of pocket responsibility?

TWS will contact you prior to shipment if there is going to be an out of pocket cost. Medicare typically covers 80%, and if you have secondary insurance we will seek payment from them for the remaining 20%. If you do not have secondary insurance, the remaining 20% is patient responsibility.

I have run out of supplies. How do I order more?

Call our toll free number 888-858-9988. If you have a valid order on file we will ship out a refill at your request. If you do not, we will work with your doctor’s office or wound care center to submit a new order for you.

My insurance doesn’t cover supplies. Do you allow for self-pay?

Yes! You can call us directly and purchase anything that we offer at a reduced self-pay rate.

How long will it take me to receive my order?

We provide next-day service to almost every address in the United States, including Saturdays.

If you have a question about our products, ordering process, or anything else that hasn’t been addressed in the FAQ, contact us online or call 888-858-9988 to speak to a representative. Our team is always happy to help with questions and concerns.

residential property residential transactions ARLA Buyers property ladder Halifax house prices Second Homes coronavirus UK housing market Property transactions residential mortgage scheme
Marketing No Comments

The price of a home in the UK has more than trebled since the turn of the century, new research has revealed.

The average UK price in 1999 was £91,199 and has now risen to £279,997, representing an increase of over 200 per cent. In Scotland, prices have risen by 173 per cent, from £68,959 in 1999 to £187,533.

London and East Anglia jointly saw the biggest increase, at 284 per cent. – while two local authorities within London have seen average house price increases of over 400 per cent since the end of 1999. Property prices in London are by far the highest in the UK now at £338,536. In 2000, the house price to earnings (PE) ratio – which is calculated by taking the average earnings in a region as a proportion of average house prices in that region, – sat at 5.4.

However, by the end of 2019 this has rocketed to 10.8. North of the Border, the PE ratio stands at 5.3.

Over the past 20 years, Scottish house prices for first time buyers have risen by 212 per cent – from £48,683 in 1999 to £151,847 today.

Russell Galley, managing director at Halifax, which carried out the research, said: “The rise in house prices in London since the turn of the century is well documented, and a sharp decrease in affordability just shows how quickly the market has moved.

“Conversely, there are bargains to be had elsewhere such as in the North, Scotland and Northern Ireland where prices have been slightly more subdued and properties compared to earnings are comparatively affordable. A renewed focus on housing policy and increased infrastructure investment aimed outside the South East, for example, may go some way to rebalance the differences.”

He added: “New buyers are hugely important to the overall health of the UK housing market. Despite a shortage of homes and the ongoing challenge of raising deposits, we know that the number of first-time buyers is moving in the right direction.

“Key to this is continued low mortgage rates and a wealth of options available to first-time buyers, helping to support even more step foot on the ladder.”

While every region saw houses, at the very least double, in value, residents in Northern Ireland experienced the least dramatic increase at 139 per cent, or £97,056. Richmond-upon-Thames in London has seen the smallest change in its first home house price to earnings ratio, increasing by just 0.4. However, in 2000, the area was already the most unaffordable according to this measure at 7.2.

Learning with Impact International on the shores of Lake Windermere

In the first week of June we joined our partners Impact International for their annual event, Learnfest. Emily Auckland reflects on what she learnt at this one-of-a-kind event on the shores of Lake Windermere.

Aside from the novelty of spending three days in the beauty and splendour of the Lake District, Impact International’s Learnfest is a learning event with a difference. As one of the world’s leading organisations working in learning and development (L&D) they host this innovative and immersive festival-inspired event every year in yurts, tipis and marquees beside Lake Windermere.

Sounds like fun? It is. It’s three intense and absorbing days that brings together experiential workshops, fascinating headline speakers and adventurous fringe activities. Being part of Learnfest left me feeling rejuvenated and energised. Not just in myself, but for the work we need to do to make the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a reality.

Impact International has been a partner of UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development for almost a year now. But I hadn’t fully understood how its work and the work of learning and development professionals connects with the SDGs or sustainability agenda. But now I do and there are three things I think we all need to recognise.

1. Leadership is changing

When you ask someone what leadership is, too often the answer is a senior decision-maker in business or society. We hold up a figurehead and believe it’s leadership. In reality, we all have the potential to be leaders if we choose to be.

Leadership is not solely about the position you hold, it’s the way you work with other people. If you’ve read any of Simon Sinek’s work, then you probably know that effective leaders create a safe space for others to thrive in. At Learnfest, the brilliant Deborah Frances-White used comedy to show how we subconsciously include or exclude ourselves or others from any given situation. Including people and creating a safe space for them is something you can chose to do once you start to recognise how you are operating within a power dynamic and the behaviours that you yourself demonstrate. When you start to do this, you start to demonstrate true leadership.

2. Give learning and development the credit it deserves

During our workshop and discussions about the SDGs it was clear that individuals and teams that we wouldn’t normally associate with sustainability are already doing it. They’re aware of the impact they could have on the bigger picture issues even if they don’t have all the answers. Those of us working in sustainability need to realise this too, and find better ways to work with them.

This work goes beyond the volunteering or fundraising activities we might immediately associate with employee development or CSR programmes. I heard from a leading technology company about the leadership development programmes they’re running that have paired individuals with third sector organisations who don’t have the resources they need to exploit new areas of work, or where staff have opted to explore circular business models instead of traditional business management modules. The woman who led this work was fully aware that she could create a change if she brought some of the ‘real world’ in to their workplace and then gave staff the space to use their skills on things they care about.

We heard from an amazing 18-year-old student who’s researched Generation Z and could tell us how employers need to adapt to accommodate a new workforce. We learnt about the impact of technology and digital solutions. We learnt about creativity, innovating, disrupting and being agile. The learning and development sector is looking to the future and is reacting in the same way that those working in sustainability are. We have the potential to do much more if we collaborate.

3. We need to embrace our humanity

On explaining the need to shift organising structures to make business future fit, Giles Hutchins touched on the fact that to do this we must embrace our humanity. At a workshop, he explained the complexity of the systems operating within our own bodies – our minds, the organs in our digestive system, our hearts. Through an exercise he demonstrated how connecting these complex systems to work in harmony with each other could help us in our work. How?

The session highlighted the natural tensions that exist in both our organisations and our lives and how these are dynamic and shifting. We often talk of systems thinking or looking at the connectedness or interrelated nature of sustainable development and the SDGs, but we often neglect the person we are in relation to that. To deliver the SDGs we must focus on our own humanity too. That might mean looking after our own wellbeing or developing our skills as individuals, or it might mean channelling our efforts into enabling others, or both, or all. That’s the point, this is a dynamic and changing system, by understanding and bringing ourselves in to the process we can respond better.

Learnfest forwards

The captivating discussions, reflective experiences and pure joy of Learnfest has left me feeling enthused for the potential work UKSSD and our learning and development partners could do. It feels like there’s real opportunity to achieve some serious and significant impacts, not just on the organisations in our network but on the way that UKSSD itself could move forwards.

To make the SDGs a success we must bring all people together and move forwards. If we’ve learnt anything in the last two years of fractured politics in the UK, it should be that we all have a responsibility to reach out and find a way to work with others. It feels like L&D might be one way.

Learnfest has taught me one major lesson. We need to stop every now and again to learn, to play and to grow and only when we do that will we be fit to make the sort of change we need to.

Considering a master’s degree? Here are the different types.

Valentin Schinnerl and John Roman, U-Multirank

Dec 16, 2020 09:08 (CET)

Considering a master’s degree? Here are the different types.

Basically, one can distinguish between two types of master's degrees: On the one hand there are course-based (courses) and on the other hand research-based (research project) degrees. Course-based master's degrees are characterised by the fact that they are very structured with course models, lectures and seminars, whereas research-based degrees include a specialised research project. Another minor difference is that research-based master’s degrees last on average a bit longer than course-based master’s.

If you’re searching for the perfect master’s pogramme, then we want to help. This blog post aims to provide readers with information on the different types of master’s degrees available. To begin, let’s start with the course-based degrees:

Master of Arts (MA)

A Master of Arts (MA) is usually awarded to students who are categorised in art, or social science courses. Examples of courses of study are political science, communication science, linguistics, geography, literature, art and music. The structure of the programs is characterised by lectures and seminars. Students usually achieve the degree through a research paper, research project or similar project.

Tip: To explore master’s degrees in the above-mentioned study subjects, visit our Study Subject pages.

Master of Science (MS, MSc)

A Master of Science (MS,MSc) is normally awarded to students whose course of study is classified in the natural sciences. Examples are biology, chemistry, physics, engineering and health. However, there are also subjects that can be placed in both MS and MA, such as economics and social sciences. In such cases, the university may choose one type - often it is the case that a Master of Science has a stronger research component. The final exams are the same as for the Master of Arts, i.e. with final papers on a research project.

Tip: To explore master’s degrees in the above-mentioned study subjects, visit our Study Subject pages.

Now that we have introduced the course-based study programmes, we will now look at the research-based master's degrees. These are usually much more specialised and – as the name suggests - focus on research.

Master of Research (MRes)

A Master of Research serves as a training for researchers. As the name of the course says, the focus is on research. This gives students an advantage if they want to work on a PhD later, or pursue a career in research. Some universities do not award this title, but classify it as a Master of Science, so it is worth checking the study programme at the respective university carefully.

Master by Research (MPhil)

Another master's degree we would like to introduce to you is, as the name suggests, also related to research - Master by Research (MPhil). Master students are given the opportunity to focus independently, individually and in depth on a large and complex research project. This programme is also often considered a precursor to a PhD, giving students the opportunity to test themselves and see if a PhD is another follow-up option. Typically, this master takes longer than other master’s degrees, although the prestige and duration can vary greatly by institution and country.

In the following section, we would like to introduce you to master's degrees that specialise in certain professions and provide practical content for the specific profession, as well as master's degrees that deal with a specific field of study and advance career development.

These master’s also vary in classification and content from country to country and from institution to institution.

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

We now begin with the Master of Business Administration (MBA), which is designed to provide students with explicit skills and knowledge essential for career advancement into business and management positions. Students receive a broad education in business so they can apply their knowledge to many careers. Many of these master's degrees have a requirement of at least three years of work experience. There is also the option to specialise the MBA in a particular field, such as human resources or finance. Similar master's degrees are the Master of Professional Accountancy (MPacc) or Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS).

Tip: To explore MBA programmes, visit our Study Business Studies page.

Master of Public Administration (MPA)

The Master of Public Administration is similar to the MBA, but instead of focusing on the private sector, it prepares students for a career in public administration. Students can specialise in specific areas of study that are exciting for the public sector, such as the environment, international administration, or technology. The MPA combines academic and professional content with a focus on policy analysis and management. Graduates of this degree launch careers in the public sector or work for NGOs. Similar master's degrees include Master of Public Policy (MPP), Master of Public Affairs (MPA) and Master of International Affairs (MIA), and Master of Urban Planning (MUP).

Master of Public Health (MPH)

The Master of Public Health (MPH) programme engages academic and professional elements with the goal of providing students with interdisciplinary insight into the field of public health. The goal here is to provide students with skills to monitor, diagnose, and regulate community health concerns through public policy. Specializations are often found in epidemiology, global health and occupational health, and nutritional sciences.

Tip: To explore health programmes, visit our study subject pages page.

Master of Social Work (MSW)

The Master of Social Work (MSW) specifically prepares students for careers in social work that focus on improving the lives of individuals, groups, and communities. There are two options for specialization - one prepares students to work with clients and the other prepares students to work at the macro level, i.e., in policy advocacy groups or community organizations.

Tip: To explore MSW programmes, visit our Study Social Work page.

Master of Laws (LLM)

The Master of Law (LLM) degree is usually obtained after completion of a professional law degree. The goal of the LLM is for students to gain additional knowledge in specific areas of law, thus expanding their basic knowledge and adding a research component to their studies.

Tip: To explore LLM programmes, visit our Study International Law page.

Master of Fine Arts (MFA)

The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree is awarded for a creative degree. Most often in disciplines such as fine arts, performing arts, and studio arts. Students pursuing this degree study creative writing, graphic design, photography, theater, and painting, for example. The content of this degree is usually very practical and the final project in most cases is a major project.

Master of Music (MM/MMus)

The Master of Music (MM/ MMus) degree is designed for college students who wish to combine advanced music theory with advanced study in a chosen applied field. This specialty area may be music performance, conducting, or composition. The master's prepares students to teach music or arm them for the path of becoming a professional in a specialized field.

Master of Education (MEd, MSEd, MIT, MAEd, MAT)

The Master of Education degree (MEd, MSEd, MIT, MAEd, MAT) prepares students for careers in education. In many cases, students become certified to teach through this degree, and in some cases, already certified teachers are introduced to specialized skills dealing with curriculum, special education, counseling, or administration. The curriculum is course-based and includes a teaching internship so students can experience the day-to-day life of a teacher.

Tip: To explore education programmes, visit our Study Education page.

Master of Engineering (MEng)

The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree can be either academic (focusing on engineering theories and practices) or professional (focusing on preparation in the workplace). Coursework may require students to publish papers in scholarly journals, or it may include internships in the specific professional fields. There is also the possibility that both approaches must be combined in one course of study. At the end of the program, students usually complete an independent research-based thesis.

Tip: To explore engineering programmes, visit our Study Engineering pages.

Master of Architecture (M.Arch)

The Master of Architecture (M.Arch) aims directly at the education of architects. The content of the program includes internships, projects, final exams, and a final thesis that deal with subject areas such as design, building science, architectural history, building technology, and professional practice. In order to be awarded the M.Arch degree, one must pass a project or thesis that deals with the professional practice of an architect.

Now that we have introduced you to some common master's degrees, we would just like to briefly provide you with information about requirements.

Basically, there is no single answer to the question of requirements for a master's degree program, as these requirements can vary greatly. Of course, in most cases a bachelor's degree must be acquired beforehand. In some cases, professional experience is crucial, or a portfolio must be submitted or certain achievements must have been made in the bachelor's degree. Nevertheless, it is important that you inform yourself individually, since there can be differences in requirements from institution to institution, even for the same master's program.

In these places you get the opportunity to compare universities and study programs with each other. You will also find information about the countries and cities where you can study. A look at our blog can also always be worthwhile, because there various topics around the student life were taken up and treated.
