Coronavirus: Could Pausing Senior-Level Recruitment Damage Your Business?

5 min read

By Ben Riley

With the number of coronavirus cases increasing daily, it is hard to ignore the impact the virus is having on the everyday lives of employees across the globe. Companies, such as LinkedIn, Apple and Google, are asking their employees to work from home where possible, reducing non-essential travel and considering how they reduce their employees’ contact with other people throughout the working day. For many, this widespread uncertainty is affecting business decisions, including investment and growth plans, as companies are understandably minimising risk to their businesses. Senior leaders and HR teams may be under pressure to consider implementing hiring freezes but in which cases could this cause a negative impact on your organisation’s performance?

Senior-level employees are vital for business performance. They are the go-to people in times of uncertainty, steering the ship and ensuring an on-going strategy for firm survival. Pausing hiring for these roles could have a damaging impact on business performance and on the ability of your company to remain adaptable and competitive in a time of uncertainty.

There are also positives for companies who are looking for senior-level employees at this time: employees working from home have more thinking space to consider if their current role is right for them as well as more flexibility to attend interviews. If fewer companies are hiring it means less competition for securing the best talent in your industry giving you a competitive advantage. Once hiring freezes are lifted it is going to be much harder to attract the leading talent to your business.

To ensure you have the people in place you need and to make sure you don’t miss out on talented candidates, recruitment processes are having to change. New obstacles are in the way and start dates for new roles overseeing new projects could be delayed. So how do you progress with those important senior-level influential roles?

Adapt Your Recruitment Process

For those senior-level roles you need to recruit for now, it is likely that you will need to change your normal interview process. Particularly at a senior-level, companies are keen to meet candidates face-to-face, but this may no longer be possible depending on travel restrictions and your own company’s policies.

With the situation changing every day, and no one sure of how long the virus will continue to spread, clients are doing what they can to ensure their recruitment processes are not put on hold. Our clients are adapting their interview processes and making more use of video conferencing technology such as Skype, Zoom and GoToMeeting. Several of our clients are starting to use software such as Microsoft Teams for all stages of the interview process, but many have already been doing this for years successfully – it’s not a revolutionary change, it’s simply an evolution. We have been speaking to a number of our clients over the past few weeks about their processes and Barny Guthrie - Chief Executive at Clinical Partners – is one such client who has been able to continue recruiting by using video conferencing technology:

“We interview around 100 candidates for various roles nationally each year and previously travelled to meet with them all over the country. Video conferencing technology has improved beyond recognition in the last couple of years. This has allowed us to swap to carrying out all first and some second interviews online, and this is hugely more efficient whilst still allowing us to get a good sense of the candidate. This has meant we were well prepared for the coronavirus, which is not affecting our recruiting processes.”

Flexible working is a way of life now and many companies already have facilities set up for people to have a flexible work-life balance – we ourselves at CSG Talent have hired people to work like this and have in fact successfully recruited people for ourselves without meeting them face-to-face and just using Skype. Companies that have already invested in their people and their technology will reap the benefits as they are already geared up to minimise the impact. Conducting interviews through video conference software will also have a positive impact on your business by reducing spend on unnecessary travel.

As well as making use of technology, our clients are opting to avoid handshaking, asking questions about candidate’s recent travels before face-to-face interviews and meeting away from their offices.

If you are working in partnership with a recruitment business there are things they can do to support your hiring process as well, whether that’s seeking extra references for candidates you haven’t been able to meet in person or even offering a pipelining solution to keep candidates engaged and ready for hire if you really cannot complete the recruitment process. Talent Pipelining is used in situations when clients want to ensure they recruit the highest-calibre of talent but they either don’t need to hire someone for a set period of time – maybe 6-9 months – or they don’t have a set date for recruitment. It allows for a reduced time to hire when they need to recruit and also ensures they don’t miss out on talented individuals. However, in times of uncertainty, it can be useful to make sure a business doesn’t lose a talented candidate because of delays beyond their control. You can either have a shortlist ready to invite to interview when needed or you can even do some of the interview process up until the face-to-face stage, but the role we play is keeping those candidates engaged in the company and excited about the opportunity. It also enables clients to stagger their costs of hiring often paying in instalments at set points in the hiring process, which can be useful if you are looking to reduce costs but need to keep the process moving.

If you are looking for recruitment support for senior-level roles immediately and over the next few months, one of our industry-specialist consultants can offer your business advice and support on this issue. Contact us:

The Battle For Talent In Aerospace & Defence

6 min read

By Mark Thompson

The most overlooked asset in the business world is not machinery, property, or location, but talent – the people who will represent your business to the outside world and drive it forward with innovation and creativity. The Aerospace and Defence (A&D) industry is a great example of as much. The industry-wide shortage of talent is causing production targets to be lowered and putting new programmes at risk. To remain competitive, companies must rethink their recruitment strategy and harness creativity to attract and retain top talent.

As you will be aware, the A&D sector will see a healthy growth in volume in the short-mid term future, with an estimated 20,000 aircraft set to be built in the next 20 years. To keep up with the maintenance and build demands of projects of this nature, the dearth of highly qualified engineers will need to be addressed – in the next decade alone, the European market is predicting it will need 12,500 per year.

The problem seems to be that A&D is struggling to attract those with the skills to join our industry. Although around 120,000 engineers graduate from European technical universities, only 10,000 of these decide to work within the A&D industry. In Germany, 48% of all engineers work in the A&D industry compared to 36% in Spain, 33% in Italy and 33% in the U.K. This is a problem for all industries in need of engineers (and these are many). Based on research conducted by Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), there were 76,400 open positions for engineers and only 20,400 unemployed engineers in Germany. Airbus, a brand many of us might expect to have some considerable ‘pulling power’, said that out of 12,000 European jobs available in our sector, they were only able to fill 9,000.

And the talent gap is also affecting other areas of the supply chain, even for the biggest companies and OEMs operating within A&D. The talent sourced by these operators’ sub-contractors and suppliers could suffer, which poses the risk of making these companies ‘weak links’ in the supply cycle, particularly now that an increase in production is expected to be necessary.

Geopolitical events must also be factored into any talent acquisition plan for the future. While Western European and U.S. companies have to date been able to attract a lot of international talent from the likes of Russia and India in particular, China and India are two growing economies which are making themselves attractive locations for high calibre individuals and could provide more competition in future battles for global talent. All of the established A&D markets face similar issues with education, training, and the talent gap. The Aerospace Industries Association estimates that, of the 70,000 engineers that graduate in the U.S. each year, only 44,000 are qualified to work in the aerospace sector, with heavy competition faced by US companies in particular from world-famous tech companies domiciled there, such as Amazon and Apple.

Key Factors In A&D’s Talent Battle

It’s well-known that technology, and the hurtling pace with which it is progressing since the dawn of the internet is causing rapid changes (often reasonably called ‘disruption’) in all industries. And A&D is, of course, no different. But there are a number of other factors which must be considered when planning to meet talent requirements, which may be said to be more specific to our sector:

  • Competition - Hiring competition is exceedingly high for Aerospace & Defence. Graduated engineers are scarce enough in themselves, but finding the right people is not just a matter of qualifications, but also of the individuals hired having the right personality and skillset. Matters aren’t helped by adjacent industries competing for the same people, such as the Automotive sector, and new regions such as China & India proving increasingly enticing for global talent. The Automotive sector has, to date, been outbidding A&D on starting salaries for graduates, and some modernising needs to be done within work compensation models to offset. As a general rule, the industry should be looking to invest more in Marketing and PR talent to adequately communicate the benefits of working within such a modern and innovative sector.
  •  Demographics - As is well known, the Western world is facing challenges posed by a rapidly aging population, which will further constrict the supply of talent as companies lose many senior staff to retirement. In the U.S., as many as 50% of experienced engineers are expected to retire in the next five years. This general problem, experienced by many of the skilled industries, is particularly pressing for A&D, having been exacerbated by widespread defence cutbacks in the mid-90s. This has led to a ‘missing generation’, where operational talent between 40 and 50 – which, many would argue, are the prime years for leadership - is lacking.
  • Demand – High skills are in high demand – wasn’t it ever thus? Studies have shown that the number of U.S. jobs requiring complex actions with an advanced level of judgement required has outgrown employment in general by a factor of three. This has resulted in a shortage not only of engineers, but of skilled workers across the board.

Without a doubt, meeting talent requirements for the challenges of the future will prove critical for A&D operators to remain competitive. Missing talent means lost knowledge, and concomitantly, elevated risk levels for costly errors such as delays and failures.

What Needs To Be Done?

So, how should a savvy business operate considering the significant challenges which lie ahead in 2017?

Innovate Recruitment Practices - Key to recruitment in 2017 will be your employer brand, a separate brand identity which should be considered separately from how a business appears to its clients. In an interconnected world, it’s ever more important for businesses to be transparent about how they operate internally, and to be available to address any potential doubts or stumbling blocks which might prevent young talent from considering joining. Potential candidates under 40 years old are 61% more likely to take employer brand into account when considering a job so this would make a real difference at entry-level.

Examples of innovative recruitment practices include that of Airbus, which uses its Twitter accounts to talk to potential recruits. It’s also known for holding international recruitment days where candidates are quickly down-selected from applicants numbering in the hundreds. Elsewhere, Rolls-Royce provides financial support to approximately 400 PhD students, an innovative way to build a network of the top talent. Of these, 25% of the graduates are recruited, with many more connections built.

Globalise Your Recruitment Ideas - Our world is an increasingly globalised place, and a large portion of top engineering talent is being produced outside of the West, in places such as Russia, India, and China. Forward-thinking businesses should look to base some of their hiring operations in these areas in order to capture valuable talent that rivals might not have the foresight to access.

Improve The Working Environment - As salaries for highly skilled workers tend to be high enough to cover a comfortable lifestyle outside of the office, factors such as the working environment are given a higher weight by the best talent, who will typically have several comparable financial offers to consider. A modern innovation has been to introduce flexible working time, a model that is appealing to many engineers due to its allowance for a better work-life balance.

For example, EADS has started a flexible working time model, offering the flexibility to have extended periods away (for example, one year sabbatical with 2/3 remunerated). BAE Systems has created an “Assignment Panel”, a clearing-house of openings in the company, so employees do not need to leave in order to find new challenges. Northrop Grumman has implemented a highly structured rotation system where top talents spend their first two years on four rotations, supported by a mentor.

Improving knowledge transfer from experienced to young employees
The most pro-active companies will actively pursue opportunities to improve the knowledge transfer from older to younger employees, knowing the value of the senior staff’s experience and the importance of preparing younger staff to take over their mantles once they retire. BAE Systems, for example, has established a very aggressive mentoring programme to ensure that knowledge is being passed down from one generation to another. Other A&D companies should follow suit.

The A&D industry in the next decade needs to focus on ensuring that they are able to secure, retain and develop the right talent to fulfil the opportunities in the market and continue to grow.

In order to achieve this, the focus must be upon understanding clearly what talent they need, what the total potential candidates pool looks like, whom they are competing against for talent and what factors are most important to these potential recruits. And the challenge doesn’t stop there. Once they have recruited the needed talent, they must ensure that they provide opportunities for development to keep their people motivated, engaged and committed to the organisation.

My best advice would be to consider talent from a variety of backgrounds and keep an open mind. In my work at CSG, I’ve often found that clients have been pleasantly surprised with candidates that they may not have otherwise considered. We always strike to take a personal approach and it garners great results for both clients and candidates.

If you are seeking a fresh perspective on your recruitment targets and priorities for 2017, we might be able to help. Email us at or call us directly on 0333 323 2000 to discover what options are available to you to help tackle the growing competition for high calibre talent.

Separate investigations allege police torture of S. Africa detainees

South Africa's already deeply divided society is struggling to digest the implications of yet another highly emotional issue: prima-facie evidence that political detainees have been tortured by police. Two recent events have made alleged ill-treatment of detainees a major public issue:

An order by a supreme court judge restraining the police from assaulting literally scores of detainees.

An investigation by the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cape Town into the alleged torture of detainees.

Both events have reinforced the fears of those South Africans who argue that granting police arbitary power to detain people without trial leads inevitably to abuse of power -- and to torture and even death.

About 500 people are currently detained under South Africa's Internal Security Act, which authorizes detention without trial. Another 1,325 people are held under state of emergency regulations put into effect in July.

Since the introduction of detention without trial in the early 1960s, at least 59 people have died in detention. Police have not been found criminally responsible, although there have been out-of-court settlements in civil cases in which the relatives of dead detainees have sought compensation.

Suspicions that detainees are abused and tortured hardened last week after Judge J. P. Eksteen granted an order restraining police from assaulting detainees in two prisons in Port Elizabeth and future detainees in two districts.

Judge Eksteen's order was made in response to an urgent application from a district surgeon, Wendy Orr, in which she detailed ``overwhelming evidence'' of systematic police abuse of detainees. Dr. Orr examined hundreds of detainees in the two jails concerned, citing cases in which detainees charged that they had been tortured.

One man claimed he had been forced to eat his hair, another that a policeman had dropped a brick on his bare foot, a third that he had been suspended from a pole by his wrists and ankles and beaten.

Orr gave clinically precise descriptions of the injuries of detainees. She told the judge that in many cases the injuries were consistent with their allegations.

Shortly before the judge granted his order, the University of Cape Town published the result of an investigation by two researchers into the treatment of detainees. Based on interviews with 176 ex-detainees, the researchers, Don Foster and Diane Sandler, found that four of every five detainees charged had been tortured physically and that nearly all complained that they had been abused or tortured psychologically.

According to Dr. Foster and Ms. Sandler, ``These results provide clear and definite evidence that physical torture occurs on a widespread basis and constitutes a systematic and common experience for those detained for interrogation purposes. [They] contradict in no uncertain terms the standard utterances of state officials claiming that torture does not occur in South Africa, apart from a few isolated cases.''

So far the response from the authorities has been minimal. South African President Pieter W. Botha has stressed that Judge Eksteen's order was an interim order only, while the commissioner of police, Gen. Johan Coetzee, has declined to comment on the report until he has studied it.

But the Detainee Parents Support Committee, a group that opposes detention without trial, said: ``Past experience has shown that detention and solitary confinement leads inevitably to death in detention. We are now witnessing an alarming escalation of deaths in police custody relating to arrests of a political nature.''

After noting that three men from the same small village in the eastern Cape had died within hours of being taken into custody, the parents' committee added, ``We can only fear that more such deaths are in the offing for as long as the police operate with such unbridled powers.''

Political scientists observe that detention without trial is integral to the system of control in South Africa. It is officially justified as necessary to counter ``terrorism'' and prevent a communist takeover. But if arbitrary detention is an essential instrument of control, so is the torture alleged to be associated with it, political scientists contended.

The way these political scientists see it, torture would have two overlapping logical purposes: extraction of information from, and intimidation of, activists who oppose apartheid, South Africa's policy of strict racial separation.

But whether it fulfills its intimidatory purpose is questionable: Some analysts fear the abuse of prisoners may alienate and radicalize more people than it frightens.

Solar E-Paper Display

Posted by Matthew Little on

I wanted to make an E-Paper display that would run continuously without the hassle of recharging, so wanted to power it with a small solar panel. I had both my E-Ink display kit and my solar charger kit, so I decided to put them together to create a solar powered E-Ink display. This worked great and, with a few display updates every day, will easily stay powered if placed on a sunny window sill.

The enclosure was designed in Inkscape and is available in the github repository for this project. It was cut on a laser cutter using 3mm Poplar plywood and some various fixings.

Arduino Code

I built the unit and the charging part worked well. The next thing was to upload the example code I had previously written. This is available here:

But when I uploaded it did not work for me due to updates within the libraries. So I have spent the next few days sorting out the code and updating the examples so it works with a clean install of Arduino. All the details are in the top part of the libraries and the github repository above has been updated.

The main 'gotcha' is that there are two versions of the LilyGo E-Paper display which use slightly different E-Paper units. If you use the wrong one you will see that the display is slightly blotchy and undefined. I have tried to make it easy to change from version 1 to version 2 - please check the "board_def.h" file and adjust the code below as required for your unit:

#elif (TTGO_T5_2_0) || (TTGO_T5_2_3)

//#include <GxGDE0213B1/GxGDE0213B1.h> // 2.13" b/w
//#include <GxGDE0213B72/GxGDE0213B72.h> // 2.13" b/w GxGDE0213B1
// Version 1:
// #include <GxGDE0213B72B/GxGDE0213B72B.h> // 2.13" b/w GxGDE0213B72
//Version 2:
#include <GxDEPG0213BN/GxDEPG0213BN.h> // 2.13" b/w form DKE GROUP
//#include <GxGDE0213B72B/GxGDE0213B72B.h> // 2.13" b/w
//#include <GxGDEH0213B72/GxGDEH0213B72.h> // 2.13" b/w new panel
#define SPI_MOSI 23
#define SPI_MISO -1
#define SPI_CLK 18

The other big change is the use of WiFiManager to handle all the config settings and wifi passwords. I had done this previously but the updated firmware here is much better. You can press the external button to put it into access point mode and update things. You can also add vairables for the examples in the configuration screen and they get stored to EEPROM (for the open weather map example).

This has certainly been the case throughout the history of our great country, and I enjoyed reading this article. However, in the fifth paragraph, first sentence, I simply wanted to share with you that I disagree with its inference.

Producer Prices Skyrocketed Nearly 10% In December, Biggest Gain Ever Recorded
WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 24: U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden participate in an event to call NORAD and track the path of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Building on December 24, 2021 in Washington, DC. The president and first lady also called to speak to Americans and thank military families.

Wholesale prices rose at the fastest pace in recorded history last month, according to new data released by the U.S. government on Thursday.

“The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.2 percent in December, seasonally adjusted,” the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. “This rise followed advances of 1.0 percent in November and 0.6 percent in October. On an unadjusted basis, final demand prices moved up 9.7 percent in 2021, the largest calendar-year increase since data were first calculated in 2010.”

The news comes after a poll released on Wednesday by Quinnipiac University showed that only one-third of Americans approve of the job that Democrat President Joe Biden is doing in office.

“Americans give President Joe Biden a negative 33 – 53 percent job approval rating, while 13 percent did not offer an opinion,” Quinnipiac University reported. “In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36 – 53 percent job approval rating with 10 percent not offering an opinion.”

Biden’s approval rating from Democrats sank by double digits from 87% in November to 75% in the new poll. The percentage of Democrats who now disapprove of him doubled from 7% to 14%. Only 1 in 4 Independents approved of Biden’s job performance while only 2% (not a typo) of Republicans approved of Biden’s job performance.

Biden earned bad scores on major issues, including:

  • the economy: 34 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove;
  • foreign policy: 35 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove;
  • the response to the coronavirus: 39 percent approve, while 55 percent disapprove.

The poll found that only 2% of Americans believe that the state of the economy is “excellent”, 26% say that it’s “good”, 35% say that it’s “not so good”, and 35% say that it’s “poor.”

“A separate report Thursday showed that initial jobless claims for the week ended Jan. 8 totaled 230,000, well above the 200,000 estimate and a considerable increase from the previous week’s 207,000,” CNBC reported. “However, the longer-term trajectory for unemployment was lower. Continuing claims, which run a week behind the headline number, fell by 194,000 to 1.56 million, the lowest level since June 2, 1973.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated that the U.S. central bank plans to taper off its support of the U.S. economy in an effort to combat soaring inflation.

“As we move through this year, if things develop as expected, we’ll be normalizing policy, meaning we’re going to end our asset purchases in March, meaning we’ll be raising rates over the course of the year,” Powell said. “At some point perhaps later this year we will start to allow the balance sheet to run off, and that’s just the road to normalizing policy.”

“It is really time for us to begin to move away from those emergency pandemic settings to a more normal level,” he said. “It’s a long road to normal from where we are.”

Dallas Drink Specials for National Margarita Day

The hibiscus margarita at Mexican Sugar
The hibiscus margarita at Mexican Sugar Alex Gonzalez
In Texas, we don’t need a holiday to drink margaritas. But it sure as hell makes the day more festive.

This Saturday, Feb. 22, several local bars and restaurants will have specials for National Margarita Day. Here are some of our picks, and yes, you’d be absolutely remiss if you didn’t have at least one. Hell, you can probably try them all if you start early.

Bowl & Barrel

3 to 6 p.m.
8084 Park Lane, Suite 145 (North Dallas)

Bowling and margaritas could make for a dangerous combination. But $1 Sweet El Diablo frozen margaritas make it worth the risk. Grab a drink and some bowling shoes, and let’s get the ball rolling.

4546 Belt Line Road, Addison
1125 Legacy Drive, Frisco

Whether you find yourself in Addison or Frisco, you won’t be far from $5 Casa Ritas from Cantina Laredo. The drink pairs very well with their chips and house guac.

Ferris Wheelers Backyard & BBQ

11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
1950 Market Center Blvd. (Design District)

Drink deals, a Ferris wheel and a spacious, dog-friendly patio make for the ultimate fiesta. At Ferris Wheelers, guests will be able to enjoy $3 margaritas. It's up to your own discretion if you want to try riding the Ferris wheel after having a few.

Alex Gonzalez

Fish City Grill

7170 Skillman St., Suite 100 (Lake Highlands)

All of Fish City Grill’s margaritas will be on special this National Margarita Day. Nothing says Texas like the prickly pear margarita ($6). Or, if you want to keep it simple, try the gold margarita ($5).

Lucky’s Cafe

7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
3531 Oak Lawn Ave. (Oak Lawn)

Margaritas from a diner? May sound a bit out of the ordinary. But with $6 black mamba margaritas, who needs to ask questions?

Mexican Sugar

10 a.m. to 12 a.m.
7501 Lone Star Drive, Suite B150, Plano

Some things are better in excess. Margaritas are one of them. Luckily, Mexican Sugar has good deals on pitchers and flights. You know, because you’re definitely going to order more than just one. Get $18 on-the-rocks Classico pitchers and $15 margarita flights.

The Rustic

11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
3656 Howell St. (Uptown)

Looking for a wild backyard bash? The Rustic will host a margarita party with a DJ set by Field Day Records. And of course, $3 Rustic ‘ritas.

Sidecar Social

10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
5100 Belt Line Road (Far North Dallas)

Hit up a new social lounge and play some life-size bar games. Have a few $5 margaritas, and see if you can muster up the courage to sing along to live-band karaoke.

Tweets Display American citizens Consuming More healthy in Pandemic

Newest Vitamin, Meals & Recipes Information

News Picture: Tweets Show Americans Eating Healthier in Pandemic

MONDAY, Aug. 1, 2022 (HealthDay Information)

Whether or not it is reality or brag, tweets recommend folks ate more healthy all through COVID lockdowns and eating place closures, a brand new learn about unearths.

Tweets about wholesome meals rose 20% between Would possibly 2020 and January 2021, whilst the ones about rapid meals and alcohol dropped 9% and 11%, respectively, researchers discovered.

“Our findings supply perception into the affect of public well being interventions on meals and alcohol intake all through the pandemic, and strengthen the concept that on the subject of influencing well being behaviors, one’s constructed setting issues,” stated lead writer Mark Hernandez, a researcher at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Boston.

The transfer from rapid meals to salad or an apple used to be simply one of the crucial nutritional adjustments that folks claimed to make all through the pandemic’s first 12 months.

Even supposing lockdowns and eating place closures considerably altered how folks were given meals and alcohol, the research means that some American citizens intentionally embraced more healthy consuming behavior.

The learn about — not too long ago printed within the magazine Patterns — additionally discovered hyperlinks between conduct and proximity to grocery or liquor shops.

Individuals who lived in spaces with extra liquor shops in line with capita had been much more likely to tweet about alcohol, the learn about discovered.

“Twitter supplies a window into folks’s daily attitudes and behaviors that surveys might battle to seize,” stated co-author Nina Cesare, a postdoctoral affiliate at Boston College Faculty of Public Well being.

“Within the context of nutrition, meals diaries and self-reported consuming behavior are notoriously vulnerable to reaction bias. Unsolicited reviews of meals intake on Twitter might extra appropriately replicate meals personal tastes and behavior,” she stated in a BU information liberate.

Researchers stated the brand new findings display the desire for insurance policies to extend get entry to to wholesome meals choices, in particular in spaces with few grocery shops.

“Insurance policies may lend a hand incentivize new grocers to open and inventory inexpensive, contemporary meals, or focal point on making an investment in native meals economies and bolstering meals get entry to techniques,” Hernandez stated within the liberate. “They may additionally advertise prerequisites the place crucial employees have extra time and assets to get entry to and get ready wholesome meals.”

Some other learn about, printed on-line in February, took a take a look at the pandemic-era nutrition and ingesting behavior in quite a lot of nations.

Fullness Of Deity

Welcome everyone to the Deeper Waters blog. For the past few months, we’ve been going through a Trinitarian Bible Study. That is, we’ve been going through the Bible and trying to understand the wonderful doctrine of the Trinity. We are in the Pauline epistles now and in the book of Colossians. Tonight, we’re going to be studying verse 9 of chapter 2, but to get the surrounding context we’ll be looking at 8-10. Let’s go to the text:

8See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

To begin with, we are told to stay away from deceptive philosophy. Paul is not speaking about philosophy in general. I would even argue Paul was quite the philosopher himself and had read many of the philosophers, as is shown in his ability to debate and speak on Mars Hill in Acts 17.

In fact, all Christians should have some understanding of philosophy. I would that every Christian knew the basic thought at least of many of the great philosophers, particularly Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, and Aquinas.

The vain philosophies I believe are the false teachings that were going around, some of which we discussed yesterday in our look at the firstborn passage. These involved a sort of pantheon of lesser gods and the attempt to gain secret knowledge, which would blossom into full Gnosticism.

All of these are inadequate because of who Jesus is. Paul isn’t writing a letter and then suddenly deciding “You know, I think I should just drop in here something about the deity of Christ.” The deity of Christ is central to his argument. It is also important that it is a monotheistic system.

There is no pantheon of gods for Paul. You do not get just part of the deity in Jesus, as if such a thing were possible. Jesus is not just one of many. Jesus is not just one who represents one side of a supreme being. The fullness of deity dwells in the person of Jesus Christ.

In saying this, Paul is indeed giving an argument for the full deity of Jesus Christ in connection with the one God who exists. He is stating that this one God who exists has revealed himself in Christ and Christ is not lacking in being fully deity, that is, in having the nature of the one God. To make this anything less is to actually make the case for the opponents that Paul is arguing against.

What’s the end result? We aren’t captive by vain philosophies because all knowledge lies in Christ and we are in him. We are in the one who claimed to be the truth and there can be no knowledge of reality that contradicts the revelation that has been given in Christ.

For Paul, the deity of Jesus is not peripheral. It is essential.

10 indie sci-fi films to look out for in 2015

Looking for some less mainstream sci-fi films in the year ahead? Then here's our list of 10 genre movies to look out for in 2015...

If you’ve been keeping an eye on next year’s schedules, you’ll probably already know about some of the major sci-fi films due for release in 2015. Ridley Scott will leave Matt Damon stranded on the red planet in The Martian. Colin Trevorrow will unleash a new breed of dinosaurs in Jurassic World. George Miller will be bringing us his belated Mad Max sequel Fury Road, Neill Blomkamp will show off his robot sci-fi comedy Chappie, and then, of course, there’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

But what about the smaller genre films, the ones that don’t have the marketing budget of, say, Disney’s Tomorrowland, or the brand recognition of Star Wars? Those are the kinds of films we’re focusing on here: the lower budget, independent sci-fi movies that nevertheless show a great deal of promise.

So without further ado, we’ll start things off with a film from the writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine

Ex Machina

Since his debut novel The Beach, Alex Garland has built a sterling career as a novelist and screenwriter. With the scripts for 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go, and Dredd on his CV, Garland’s arguably among the very best sci-fi screenwriters in Britain.

Ex Machina marks his debut as a director, and it promises to be an intelligent and thought-provoking film. Domhnall Gleeson stars as a young programmer who’s summoned to the isolated alpine home of his reclusive boss, played by Oscar Isaac. The boss’s home doubles as a top-secret research facility, where he’s built Ava (Alicia Vikander), an artificially intelligent robot. The programmer’s task: to figure out whether Ava’s truly capable of genuine human emotion, or whether she’s just another sophisticated computer program.

We’ve seen plenty of films about AI robots before – for a recent British example, there’s The Machine – but Ex Machina emphasises drama over action, resulting in a disquieting and atmospheric meditation on the boundary between technology and humanity.

Release date: 23rd January

Absolutely Anything

Director, co-writer and Python Terry Jones had this sci-fi comedy idea bubbling away for 20 years, before work on it finally got underway in 2010. Simon Pegg stars as Neil, an ordinary teacher who, thanks to a cosmic twist of fate, is suddenly granted the ability to do anything. We have to say, the cast is extraordinary: Kate Beckinsale, Joanna Lumley, Eddie Izzard, and Rob Riggle are joined by all the surviving members of the Monty Python troupe, who play a group of aliens.

How it’ll all pan out is anyone’s guess, but we’re looking forward to finding out. One other thing we should note: Absolutely Anything will mark one of the last screen appearances from Robin Williams, who passed away this year. Williams provides the voice of Dennis the Dog, a character who, according to Douglas Adams – who read the script before he died – gets some of the film’s funniest scenes.

Release date: 13th February 2015

Director Tarsem Singh’s films sometimes suffer mixed critical responses, but they’re invariably fascinating to look at and, with the exception of The Fall, financially successful. With Selfless, Singh heads into sci-fi territory: it sees an aged and terminally-ill billionaire pay to have his consciousness transferred into the corpse of a young man. Unfortunately, moving bodies comes at a price: the billionaire starts to experience unpleasant memories of his body’s old inhabitant.

Could this be a new twist on the kinds of stories we’ve seen in films like The Hands Of Orlac or Body Parts, where transplanted extremities start taking on a life of their own?

Selfless stars Ryan Reynolds, Ben Kingsley and Matthew Goode. Judging by the set photos we’ve seen of Reynolds driving around in a posh sports car, we’re guessing he’ll be playing the revived body occupied by the old billionaire.

Release date: 7th April 2015

Midnight Special

This film already got a mention on our main list of 25 films to see in 2015, but it’s worth highlighting again thanks to director Jeff Nichols’ superb track record. He’s the maker behind Take Shelter and Mud, two superb dramas that are well worth tracking down if you haven’t seen them already.

Midnight Special sees Nichols on very different ground – it is, he says, inspired by his love of John Carpenter’s Starman, while Warner Bros describes it as a sci-fi chase film. Acting heavyweight Michael Shannon is joined by Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, and Joel Edgerton, while Jonny Greenwood – the Radiohead guitarist who created the soundtracks for There Will Be Blood and The Master – is behind the music.

At this stage, we don’t know a great deal more about Midnight Special – the last we heard, it sees “a father desperate to protect his uniquely gifted, eight-year-old son” from pursuing government agents – the quality of Nichols’ previous work makes this one a must-see for us.

Release date: 25th November 2015

Based on the short story “All You Zombies” by Robert A Heinlein, Predestination is a knotty and compellingly strange time travel movie. Ethan Hawke stars as a Temporal Agent, who’s spent most of his career on an oddly-named terrorist named the Fizzle Bomber. Hawke’s agent learns that the terrorist’s next attack will be in 1975 New York, so he primes his time travel device (disguised as a violin case) and heads into the past to track the maniac down.

Predestination unfolds like a noir thriller, with directors Michael and Peter Spierig (previous film: Daybreakers) creating a moody and faintly surreal alternate past full of low camera angles and mysterious figures in black hats. The time travel angle keeps the plot twisting and turning, but Predestinations really worth looking forward to for its performances; Hawke is typically brilliant as the agent, but the real stand-out is Sarah Snook, an Australian actress who plays a character with a surprisingly bizarre and tragic past.

Release date: early 2015

With Down Terrace, Kill List, Sightseers, A Field In England, and a couple of Doctor Who episodes under his belt, Ben Wheatley’s quickly become one of the UK’s finest directors. High Rise, based on the novel by JG Ballard, will be his starriest film yet, starring Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, and Jeremy Irons.

Ballard’s 1975 novel is a dystopian satire about a luxury tower block, and how its residents gradually descend into chaos and savagery. Admittedly, it isn’t science fiction in quite the same way as some of the other films on this list are – there are no robots and no time travel devices – it’s typical Ballard: an exploration of how technology changes the way we think and behave.

High-Rise has also influenced other works of science fiction, including the Doctor Who serial “Paradise Towers” and David Cronenberg’s Shivers.

Interestingly, Wheatley’s adaptation doesn’t update the novel for the present, but instead sets it in 1975 – the year High-Rise was first published. Given the appetite for dark humour and eye-watering violence Wheatley displayed in his earlier films, he could prove to be the perfect match for Ballard’s incisive style of storytelling.

Release date: TBA 2015

Z For Zachariah

Originally published in 1974, post-apocalyptic novel Z For Zachariah was first adapted by BBC television in the mid-1980s. The new version of the story, meanwhile, promises to be a much starrier affair. It stars Margot Robbie as a girl who’s survived a nuclear war in a remote valley, and assumes that she’s the only survivor until a stranger named Loomis (Chiwetil Ejiofor) shows up in a radiation-proof suit.

Z For Zachariah, written by Robert C O’Brien and published after his death, is a low-key and bleak novel, and it’s intriguing to see it being given the big-screen treatment. There have clearly been a few changes in the process of adaptation – namely, the addition of a third major character, played by Chris Pine, who wasn’t in the book – so we’re interested to see how much of O’Brien’s story will remain intact.

Director Craig Zobel’s previous film was the disturbing docu-drama Compliance, so it’s possible that his take on Z For Zachariah will be similarly uncompromising.

Release date: TBA 2015

Another post-apocalyptic film, Air will be of special interest to fans of The Walking Dead, since it shares both a producer (Robert  Kirkman) and a star (Norman Reedus) with that hit series. Reedus will appear alongside Djimon Hounsou in a story about two survivors of a nuclear war holed up in a bunker. Said bunker also contains the frozen bodies of people who will one day help to repopulate the human race – though, predictably, lots of things soon go wrong. Kirkman’s described the film as a “throwback” to the sci-fi films of the 70s and 80s, with a horror element that he says is similar to Alien.

Air is the directorial debut of Christian Cantamessa, who’s best known for his work in the games industry: his prior work includes Manhunt and Red Dead Redemption. Fun fact: Norman Reedus broke his toe on the set of Air. The incident occurred during a scene where he had to kick Hounsou. We thought you’d like to know about this.

Release date: TBA 2015

The Lobster

Among Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s previous films is Dogtooth, an exceedingly strange and disturbing family drama that was nominated for a Best Foreign Picture Oscar. The Lobster is Lanthimos’s English-language debut, and it sounds almost as bizarre as Dogtooth. Take this synopsis, which we found on IMDb and liked so much we had to include it here in full:

“A love story set in a dystopian near future where single people are arrested and transferred to a creepy hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal and released into the woods.”

Shot on a low budget, The Lobster nevertheless has a great cast, no doubt attracted by its director’s reputation. Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz are among the leads, while Ben Whishaw is credited as playing a “Limping Man”, John C Reilly is apparently a “Lisping Man” while Ashley Jensen is “Biscuit Woman.” With character names like that, how can we resist?

400 Days

Interstellar has just sent us into the far reaches of space, but next year’s 400 Days examines the psychological toll of being an astronaut without leaving the confines of our planet. A group of four would-be travellers are locked away as part of a simulated space mission which lasts (you guessed it) 400 days. When the astronauts lose contact with mission control, they’re forced to leave their ship and find out what’s really going on.

400 Days is by Matt Osterman, the writer-director who received considerable acclaim with his $25,000 debut, Ghost From The Machine, and stars Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Ben Feldman, Tom Cavanagh, and Dane Cook. With Interstellar proving that there’s still an audience for cerebral sci-fi adventures, 400 Days could be another genre film designed to appeal to our fascination with the stresses of space travel.

Release date: TBA 2015

Create your perfect smile with Dental Logic

Jo came to see Chris because she was unhappy with the wear and appearance of her front teeth. She felt that her smile was impacting on how she felt and was self-conscious about this.

When Jo saw Chris, he noticed that her teeth were wearing away because the bite at the back was not stable.  This is the main cause of wearing or chipping at the front and Jo was in good hands to help fix the problem. Over a couple of appointments the bite was fixed and then Jo could have the smile makeover she wanted.

What happens with a smile makeover?

Before we started the smile makeover work, Chris spent time listening to Jo about her concerns and what she wanted. Then he scanned and planned her smile with her, allowing Jo to have input all the time. Once he had designed her smile digitally, this design was printed out in the on-site 3D printer and was clipped onto Jo’s existing teeth so she could see in real time exactly what was planned before any treatment was started.

This is routine for our smile makeover patients, and on asking  Chris about this he says “In this day and age there is no excuse to not have the try before you buy trial wear. By doing this we can get predictable and reproducible results which the patient has already seen and approved. Without this, you are going blindly into treatment.”

Once Jo had seen her new smile and videoed to ensure everything was right, Chris used the minimal drill technique for Jo’s new smile. This was completed easily and Jo even told us she had no pain throughout.

Working closely with our in-house lab technician Jack, both Chris and Jack were able to reproduce the trial smile and by using the latest advancements in dental CADCAM technology gave Jo the smile she had always wanted.

After a few weeks Jo came back for her final review and was delighted about the results, telling us that she is smiling at everyone and feels she can get on with life and not worry about her teeth. We are delighted that we could help another patient achieve the results they were after, and best of all with minimal drilling and no pain.

Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain:  You are entitled to Just Compensation!

taking private property for public purpose

If a right of way agent just sent you a letter or already came to see you, you are going to need help now. Click here to contact us right now to set up a free initial consultation.

Afterward, you can take time to read below about some of the ins and outs of eminent domain law in North Carolina and how we can be of help.

Private Land, Public Purpose, Just Compensation

The right of eminent domain, the right to take private property for a public purpose, is not contained in the United States or North Carolina Constitutions.  Instead, eminent domain is an inherent power of the government, and the United States and North Carolina Constitutions limit that power.  The same 5th Amendment that guarantees you due process and your right not to be forced to testify against yourself also states,

nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

What is “Just Compensation”?

For most eminent domain clients, just compensation is the biggest concern.  The condemnor's offer or deposit is only their estimate of just compensation, and it may be ridiculously low.  But it is also important to know how a jury will get to measure the damages in your case at trial.  In North Carolina, the way damages are calculated, the “measure of damages”, can depend on who the condemnor is. So, understanding the right measure of damages is our first step toward actual just compensation in your case.

How we can help

To prove your case for just compensation, we attack several critical issues at the same time.  They include

  • understanding the real estate interests being taken from you,
  • investigating what uses your land could have been put to before and after the taking, and
  • working closely with the right appraisers and other expert witnesses for your case.

We do all of this and more to be ready to try your case a judge and jury.

Contact Us Now

You may have heard from a right of way agent about someone needing to buy or take your property.  If so, you already have an eminent domain problem.  Go to our Contact Us page, and call or send us an email, so we can tell you how we can help.
