Together with Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the frontier positions in the northern section of the Defense Army.

Prime Minister Pashinyan and President Sahakyan were accompanied by Chief of the General Staff of the RA Armed Forces Artak Davtyan and AR Defense Minister-Commander of the Defense Army Karen Abrahamyan.

Nikol Pashinyan and Bako Sahakyan were briefed on the current situation on the frontline, as well as on engineering and technical activities carried out recently at the frontier positions. The Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of Artsakh got acquainted with the servicemen’s living conditions and talked to the soldiers.

The head of the Armenian government attached importance to the continued development of the armed forces, military industry, noting that the army should become the locomotive of economic development.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of introducing a new food supply system in the armed forces and noted that it could become a catalyst for agriculture, as agricultural products will be purchased directly from farners.

During the meeting with servicemen, Nikol Pashinyan touched upon the purpose of visiting the border posts, development of the armed forces, interpersonal relations among servicemen and other issues.

In his speech, the Prime Minister stated:
“Dear President of the Artsakh Republic,
Dear Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia,
Dear Defense Army Commander,
Officers, Generals, Soldiers,

I am pleased to see you. The purpose of our tour today is to find out whether there are positive changes in our troops’ service standards in the long run and for the short term. That is, what happened in the short term and what should happen in the long run. And of course, the most important thing is to see you, your eyes, and to try to read what is written in your eyes. I am happy to note that in your eyes I can see confidence in your own strengths, confidence in our homeland and confidence in our future.

Of course, in the eyes of some it seems strong, in the eyes of others it is weak, but our common goal is to enhance our collective trust and strengths. And I wish to hope that you always feel that the authorities of the Republic of Armenia, the authorities of the Republic of Artsakh do not forget for a moment about the soldier who protects the border. Recently, we had the opportunity to award military titles at the Ministry of Defense. We recorded that what is happening in the rear, any activity makes sense as long as our soldier stands firm on the borderline.

Business, political activity, no matter whether opposition or pro-government, any activity is meaningful owing to your service, because if you, we, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, and the Artsakh Republic do not stand behind the army, everything else will be useless, everything starting from cafes , from theaters, movies, cars, pavilions, entertainment, everything will be useless.

And I want you to be aware of that reality, because sometimes there may be a question as to why we are here. You stand here to make life, activities, every day and every moment of our entire state, our people, meaningful, because if you are not here, there will be no point in doing anything at all. Therefore, our Government and I myself want you to feel every minute how highly we appreciate the service you render to the Motherland.

The Homeland is the highest feeling we have, but I want each of us to understand more precisely what the Homeland is, or rather who the Homeland is, what the Homeland is. Homeland is your parents, your sisters, your brothers, your relatives. Homeland is your beloved ones, Homeland is your friends, Homeland is your grandparents, Homeland is your offspring who are yet to be born and need to live freely and in a happy country. And I hope you feel that care and that concern.

There are huge changes going on in the Armed Forces now. Of course, some of these changes will make you feel sooner depending on the location, other circumstances, but you need to know one thing: Many say that security and the army is a priority, but I say that security and the army are priorities above all, because everything in the rear depends on our army’s fighting capacity.

Say a friend of yours, or your parents are celebrating someone’s birthday in a quiet, happy ambiance. They can enjoy the party owing to your service, because if it were not for that service, it would not have happened, and it would not have made any sense.

And now our goal is to make you feel this connection, this content at the level of armor, feel in the shoes you wear, feel in the clothes you wear, feel in your attitude to one another. The matter is up to you here rather than to the Government. This is one of our most important issues, not just in the army, but in our country, as a whole.

Homeland is the way we treat each other, Homeland starts from there, because just as we treat each other, the same way we treat our Homeland because Homeland is land, and land has a human component. Unfortunately, it should be noted that we have more work to do there, we have more to do. Mutual respect is the most important thing we should have.

You know, every person is different: one is strong in one place, the other elsewhere and so on, but remember that there is never absolute strength and weakness. Someone may prove relatively weak in the army, but he may be much stronger in civilian life, in another situation. The weak should not be treated with disdain, because there is no weakness, a soldier cannot be weak; we need each other’s backing, and therefore we should treat each other that way.

Anyway, as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, I will try to ensure that every day you feel my personal respect for each of you, for your parents; to feel that I am as much and equally concerned about your problems. I want you to feel my personal love for each of you, your parents, your path, but most importantly, your future, because the future is what we are formulating today. We determine the future by our actions today. Every act of every one of us, even the slightest act, has an impact on reality. And we create the reality that exists around us. And now the most important issue that I put before our armed forces is the following: The army should also be a very important place for education.

To my mind, the military have to deal with the most intellectual tasks, because there are military commanders who are legendary, and there are military commanders who have always won. How come a 5,000-strong army beats 25,000-strong troops? First of all it comes through the commander’s wisdom, and the troops’ dedication, skills and knowledge.

Today there is a lot of talk about the military balance in the region. Some say Azerbaijan has relative strengths. What do we say? First, we are naturally doing our utmost, today we saw state-of-the-art military hardware here; we have many other achievements that are off record, and we and will continue to boast such achievements, but what does history tell us? In 88, 90, 91 we were more prepared for war than Azerbaijan. Of course not. How many weapons did we have? Were we more prepared in 1918 at Sardarapat? We were actually unprepared at all, but we survived, we are sitting in Mataghis today as representatives of a victorious people, and we look into each other’s eyes and see the will of that victory, brought up by our past victories, and which nurtures our determination for future victories. : This is what we have to do, and I want to thank you all - the regular staff, the officer staff for your service. Your service is worthy and highly appreciated. I want to thank your families, because you need family support to be military.

And I want to thank all of your family members for your service, for your dedication, for your caring, for your strength, and I am asking you to convey my kind regards to your families.

Thank you.”

The Prime Minister then handed gifts to prominent conscripts. In an interview with the Artsakh Public Television, Nikol Pashinyan noted that many positive changes are underway in the Armed Forces.

“You know that we have allocated over AMD 2 billion to improve our soldiers’ service conditions. A food and catering improvement program is currently underway, which is revolutionary in three ways: first, the quality of food; second, the soldier’s perception of how the government treats the soldier and his needs, and third – its social impact. As a result, parents no longer send as many food parcels as they used to before. This means that they are spending less now, which may have a social impact.

Next, I am happy about the acquisition of mew armament, and I can proudly state that we have made tangible achievements over the past year and a half. In this context, I attach great importance to military pensioners’ housing needs because the officers know that they are going to be pensioners tomorrow, and the government will never remove this issue from the agenda. On the contrary, we have an agreement with the Artsakh authorities that through joint efforts we should solve the housing problems of active officers by 2023.

In addition to armament, a great deal of automobile technology is being acquired today, many changes are being made and will continue to be made in terms of soldiers’ clothing and footwear. We have not yet achieved the quality we wanted, but there is a significant change. The soldier should never feel alone in his position. I mean everything: food, clothing, weaponry, infrastructure upgrades, and video surveillance systems. The positions are being supplied with drinking water, and that process is going to get momentum. True, all this is of technical importance, but I would like to highlight its content.

The Armed Forces, the Soldier, the Officer must feel that the Government and the nation in general stand by them every second, 24 hours, night and day, 12 months a year, and this will always be the case. And what matters most here is the change in thinking and approaches. I did not mention most importantly the increase in salaries in the armed forces, which is a drastic rise and cannot be considered a symbolic one.

I will go on and on answering your question, because this process is to be continued. The Armenian army will grow stronger every day, every week, every month, every year and every century. And so it will go on forever.”

It is truly an amazing time to be alive.

Purdue Engineering researchers have developed a system that can show what people are seeing in real-world videos, decoded from their fMRI brain scans — an advanced new form of  “mind-reading” technology that could lead to new insights in brain function and to advanced AI systems.

The research builds on previous pioneering research at UC Berkeley’s Gallant Lab, which created a computer program in 2011 that translated fMRI brain-wave patterns into images that loosely mirrored a series of images being viewed. To read the rest of the article, check it out here. MORE...

Maryland’s Public Information Act Exempt from Administrative Exhaustion Requirements

Maryland's Public Information Act Exempt from Administrative Exhaustion Requirements

The Maryland Court of Appeals has held that a prisoner is not required to exhaust administrative remedies to bring an action under the Public Information Act.

Before the Court was a case filed by Richard C. Massey, Jr., a prisoner at Maryland?s Western Correctional Institution (WCI). Massey sought from WCI's warden public records on contracts pertaining to health services, canteen services and photocopying services. After two different requests seeking those documents were not answered, Massey filed a complaint in circuit court to compel disclosure. That court granted prison officials' motion to dismiss, and the Court of Special Appeals affirmed.

Prison officials argued that Maryland?s Prison Litigation Act's (PLA) "exhaustion requirement appl[ies] to virtually every kind of civil matter that could be brought by a DOC inmate in State Court." The Court said it had to review three separate statutes to make a ruling.

The first statute, ch. 210, created the Inmate Grievance Office for when a prisoner "has a grievance against an official or employee of the Division of Correction or the Patuxant Institution." Next, the Court looked to the Maryland Public Information Act, ch. 698 . That Act allowed pursuit of an administrative remedy, but such "remedy need not be exhausted prior to filing suit in the circuit court pursuant to this article." Moreover, a court was to expedite any action under that Act, and the "presumption of the statute is in favor of disclosure." Finally, there was no limitation on persons, including prisoners, to inspect public records.

Finally the Court tuned to the PLA, ch. 495. The first words of that Act impose certain requirements upon "a prisoner who files a civil action relating to the conditions of confinement." Massey argued the PLA did not apply to an action under the Public Information Act because it was not a "civil action" under the PLA.

Prison officials did not dispute that the records sought were public in nature, and even admitted the records should have been given to Massey. The Court of Appeals held that a "request to inspect a public record does not relate to or involve a prisoner's 'conditions of confinement.'" As such, the PLA and any requirement to exhaust administrative remedies did not apply to a prisoner's request to inspect public documents.

The lower courts' judgments were reversed. See: Massey v. Galley, 392 Md. 634, 898 A.2d 951 (Md. 2006).

Are you cool enough to work in PR?

I was not one of the cool guys at school or at college, but I still got the girls. Well one at least (and then, I married her. This is definitely not cool).

Once I got to work, I thought all that “being cool” stuff wouldn’t matter anymore. But I’m wrong.

Everyone judges you in this business, and it helps if you look right, sound right and have the right gadgets.

So here’s my guide to being cool in PR:

Ditch the BlackBerry - It’s all iThis and iThat these days. I was in a cafe with my PC laptop the other day, it all felt a bit awkward.

Never wear a suit - Too old school. And as for a tie? Don’t make me laugh!

Don’t sound too posh - You need to be down with the people these days.

Always carry a coffee in a paper cup around with you - Never be seen walking the streets without a coffee, cool people mainline caffeine.

Work in the right part of town - In London, Soho is just about acceptable, but Shoreditch is better.

Talk about the right TV series - If it’s on BBC or ITV it won’t cut the mustard, from Mad Men to Game of Thrones, it’s got to be US networks all the way.

Be fit - Cool clothes only look good on good bodies. Which is my excuse for not bothering to wear trendy stuff, I can make anything look shapeless.

Have the right bag - If you can’t afford designer, a canvas bag from a recent music festival is acceptable. How was Glastonbury by the way? (This is a trick question, because as any fool knows, Glastonbury is no longer cool, wet maybe, but not cool).

Wear the right shoes - In the summer, this can be tricky for guys, as even the best polished Italian loafers can look stuffy. Canvas can look tatty and sandals are always a hard look to pull off. Women’s sandals are much more stylish, but my wife says they look stupid on me.

Everton V QPR in BPL FIFA 15 prediction for Dec 15

The Everton FC vs. Queens Park Rangers football match takes place later today, on December 15. In normal fashion, gamers and football fans alike are uploading their prediction videos for the match today and within FIFA 15 as well.

We have included one such gameplay video below that offers an Everton V QPR 3-2 prediction for this Barclays Premier League game in FIFA 15. The real Dec 15 lineup might be different to what’s used within the video below, as the match day feature within the simulation doesn’t always match the real BPL player lineup.

QPR won’t have one of their best scorers, as Charlie Austin is suspended after he received a red card last week. Everton has only managed to win 3 out of 12 Premier League matches with QPR, so the prediction made below is expecting this to be one of the rarer occasions. With that said, QPR did lose 4-0 to Everton during the FA Cup in January 2014.

Do you expect Everton to beat QPR today and if so, would you agree with the 3-2 prediction? Take a look at the video below for the full gameplay, or just comment on the prediction made below. Gamers won’t always get it correct, but we’ve seen a few spot-on predictions made this year.

Hi, How Can We Help You?

In ordinary language, the terms ‘pipe’ and ‘tube’ could properly be utilized conversely. Notwithstanding, with regards to assembling and HVAC plan, there are enormous contrasts among funneling and tubing.

On the off chance that you are attempting one of your first architectural projects or are basically searching for more data on the topic, it would be incredible for you to comprehend the contrast between piping and tubing.

They may look like a great many people: both piping and tubing look like empty cylinders with openings at the two closures. Although, they fill various needs.

It is imperative for you to gain proficiency with the contrasts among piping and tubing so you can pick the correct equipment when arranging your next project.

They generally have varying diameters

Most importantly, their diameters are even estimated in an unexpected way. Steel pipes have their width estimated utilizing the lengths within the construction, while tubing diameters are estimated utilizing the outside.

The state of the construction is another approach to differentiate among piping and tubing. A pipe is regularly made as a round cylinder, yet tubes can now and again be square or rectangular fit as a fiddle.

The shape is certifiably not a subjective property of the design – it is utilized to help calculate wall thickness which will decide the limit wherein the structure can be utilized.

The cost of creation

As a rule, steel pipes are mass-delivered and less expensive to get. Besides, it is on the grounds that they require less thorough evaluation than tubing.

Tubing generally requires more energy, work, and material to make since its utilization is more mind boggling than that of piping. This implies more security assessments, which just adds to the intricacy of getting a hold of tubing.

For what reason is there such a distinction in the creation of piping and tubing? It’s everything to do with how they are utilized.

The distinctions being used

Steel piping is most usually utilized for transporting gases or fluids between structures or inside a sewer network. The best materials for this sort of occupation are by and large settled upon, thus, piping can be simpler to get.

Tubing is utilized to a greater degree a primary limit, or in more perplexing cases. Regularly, tubing goes through more modest and more refined changes during the assembling cycle with its particular end-use in mind. Two or three examples where steel tubing would be utilized are focus rotated horticultural water system frameworks and clinical gadgets. Since piping is regularly used to move

fluids, this clarifies why it is generally requested with inside estimations. The development of fluid through a line is generally unsurprising, and the main variable to represent is the volume of fluid the line can contain.

Tubing is estimated utilizing outside thickness due to the wide range of frameworks that may be made with it. The external thickness yields a sign of whether the tubing will be sufficiently able to bear the pressing factor it will confront.

Materials used

While steel tends to be used in both structures, tubing is usually manufactured with other materials entirely based on its future use. These involve, however, are not bounded to the following:

  • Chrome
  • Brass
  • Aluminum
  • Copper

Regardless of their similarities in appearance, steel piping and tubing have completely different uses and are even estimated in an unexpected way. Thus, you should now have a more clear thought of whether you need piping or tubing for your undertaking, and the estimations you need to think about!

Dahlias – Known as the Flower of all Flowers

Dahlia flower

Dahlias are definitely the “cream of crop” when it comes to flower gardening. In fact, they have earned the nickname “flower of flowers”. The blooms are so ornamental that they almost look like they are fake flowers. A fully-blossomed dahlia appears to be a piece of art, and artists frequently use their picturesque attribute to add a touch of class to their paintings, sculptures and photographs. Beside their exquisiteness, dahlias have an interesting history, original traits and an abundance of variety. Some gardeners say they are easy to grow, but others claim that cultivating dahlias is quite a task.

History of the Dahlia

The history of dahlias can be tracked back to the mid-1600s when Spanish explorers made drawings of the flowers found in Mexico. They were grown and used by Aztec Indians for medical remedies during the Spanish expedition. In the 1700s, parts of the plant were sent from Mexico to a botanist in a garden in Madrid, Spain. The botanist used the plant parts to cultivate new flowering plants. He named the genus after a reputable Swedish botanist, Andreas Dahl. Since then, the native of Mexico has gained popularity throughout the world and they are a favorite for flower gardens in the United States and Europe. The dahlia is the national flower of Mexico.

Traits of the Flowering Plant

Dahlias are perennial plants, so they will continue to bloom for more than two years, but usually have a longer lifespan. They bloom in the spring and continue to bloom through autumn, until the frost comes. They are a great addition to flower gardens if you like long-blooming flowers. Depending on the species, dahlia plants range from one foot high to six feet tall. The diameter of the flowers is as little as two inches to the big flowers that are twelve inches in diameter.

Dahlias can be started from seeds, as transplants, or grown from the roots. Growing them from transplants or roots is better than growing from seeds because they are hybrids, which means they are grown from a cross-breed of more than one type of plant. They have a tuberous root which means that the root spores into the ground and over time new spores sprout creating new flowers.

Amazing Variety

There is an astonishing variety of dahlias. They are cultivated as hybrids, so the assortment of flowers as far as diameter, height and color depend on the curiosity of the breeders. There are lots of species grown from the genus of the dahlia.

There are species of dahlias that produce flowers that are tiny as well as species that produce enormous blooms. The forms of the flowers are countless ranging from pom-poms to peony forms. All dahlias are original and they can’t really be compared to other flowers. Some are daisy-like, some are similar to orchids, and some are like cactus flowers, but really, they are so unique that they can’t be compared. The variety of dahlias is colorful and usually bright, although there are some bronze-tones. The flowers are available in single colors, bi-colored or variegated.

Planting and Care of Dahlias

Planting dahlias is easy; however, they a have a few requirements to be considered when choosing where and when to plant them. Dahlias are sensitive to frost, they require sun, and they have no tolerance for water-logging soil and high winds. When choosing a place to plant them, make sure that the area is not subject to winds and that the area is in the sunlight at least six hours a day. Plant them after the last frost and prepare your soil by composting organic matter to make sure that it is well-draining. If you accommodate these few prerequisites, you can assure that you have the right environment for growing dahlias.

The spacing of the plants depends on the species. If you have the bedding type, they should be planted nine to twelve inches apart. The ones with small flowers, that are bedding plants, should have two feet between them. The large-flowering plants are best spaced three to four feet apart. They will also require support since will be tall, so placing stakes or trellises to tie them do as they grow is a good idea. The tubers should be buried about six inches deep. Making an eight inch hole and refilling it to six inches will allow the root room to grow.

Throughout the growing season, you will need to water the dahlias at least once a week or more often if it is hot. The soil should be kept moist. To increase the size of your flowers, pinching off the side buds will help.

At the end of the autumn, you will need to cut back the plants if you intend to leave them in the ground during the winter. If you have bad winters, you may choose to lift your roots and store them inside. To keep them from dying, they need to be stored in a place that is not less than 35 degrees and not more than 50 degrees and they occasionally need to be sprinkled will water to keep them from drying out. The roots can be replanted in spring.

Statoil CFO Protecting Capital During Economic Turmoil

Statoil CFO Protecting Capital During Economic Turmoil

The chief financial officer of oil giant Statoil told Dow Jones Newswires recently that the company has taken a number of steps to ensure that its capital is protected while the global economy continues to struggle.

According to CFO Torgrim Reitan, Statoil has limited the number of banks it works with and shifted its capital management strategy in order to not rely too heavily on the financial institutions.

"We have done some changes, we have become more conservative, placed our money more safely," Reitan told the news source. "In these times, with so much money on our books, we need to be cautious on where this money is."

Reitan added that while it was still too early to determine when the global economy will ultimately become stable once again, demand for petroleum in China and Asia has given him confidence, according to the news provider.

The finance chief's confidence likely also surged after Statoil made a potentially significant oil discovery in the North Sea, according to a release from the company.

Progressive Maryland Weekly Memo for January 29-February 5, 2018

The Assembly is in session, elections are approaching and our work is percolating in Annapolis and throughout the state as we contact voters about a progressive agenda for change and people’s empowerment.

The Assembly is in session, elections are approaching and our work is percolating in Annapolis and throughout the state as we contact voters about a progressive agenda for change and people’s empowerment.

PMLobbyNightFeb26.jpgFirst: Mark your calendars for Progressive Maryland’s Lobby Night in Annapolis, the evening of Monday, February 26, 7 to 10 p.m. We’ll tell our legislators why they should get on board with our justice for working families agenda. Get more details here.

Contest the State of Trump’s Dis-Union’s Agenda of Hatred – Two Events

People's Action is joining with National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), Color of Change, MomsRising, the National Farmworker Women's Alliance, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Girls for Gender Equity and Rep. Jayapal to host a counter event for the state of the union next week (Tuesday the 30th), in Washington DC.

While Trump is advancing his agenda of hatred, gutting the working class and giving handouts to his billionaire buddies, we will be holding our own State of the Union. We will tell stories from our movements, share our vision for a better world and start planning how we build the power to win in November and beyond.

We are inviting your organization to join us in representing People’s Action at the event. Event hosts are expecting a turnout of about 700 people. We would like for 75 of them to be from People’s Action. Bring a carload of folks to DC and stand among and plan with the national leadership poised and committed to advancing racial, gender and economic justice across the country.

The event will be in DC at the National Press Club (7pm-10pm EST). People’s Action can provide assistance with travel to all attendees, and lodging to those who don’t live in the local area and need it.

ADDED BONUS! In the spirit of building our movement with a focus on gender and race, on Wednesday morning, January 31, we will be hosting a 4-hour political healers training to the first 25 people who sign up to attend!

The Political Healers training provides a race, gender and class analysis that contextualizes the talents, strengths and inherent contributions of womxn of color in this movement in an asset-based, healing, and power-building frame. This half-day training, which is geared specifically for womxn of color, will explore this analysis with a particular focus on concepts such as cultural trauma, the relationship between public memory and power, and how ritual plays a critical role in building public collectivity. Participants will use this analysis to develop base building and leadership development proposals for womxn of color within their organizations.  Location of training TBD.

Please RSVP NOW to attend! Questions? Contact Mich Lovegood - [email protected] or (773) 425-4784

Easy Entry, Sky High, and a Mile Wide

What makes a great Engineering Design project? What creates the magic promised by project-based learning? The range and variety of possible projects is overwhelming. At ProjectEngin we focus on three key principles when developing projects for teachers to use.  In our experience working with teachers and students in grades K-12, the best learning happens when there are few barriers to entry, no limits on possibilities, and a chance to make things uniquely your own. It all leads to student-driven learning and increased engagement.

Easy Entry – All of our projects have a decidedly low-tech entry point. Asking teachers and students to learn differently, investigate new ideas, and focus on skills is already a significant challenge. Layering on technology creates too high of a wall and, at times, too much expense. We use simple materials and initial challenges that create easy identification with the end-user. We use basic craft materials to help students tap into their inner engineer. Our projects focus on process and creativity. Expensive “stuff”, complex algorithms, and steep learning curves are decidedly absent from our projects and curriculum. Beginning engineers don’t need 3-D printers to create prosthetic hands; they can learn more about how to design a functioning hand by using simple materials like balsa wood, wire, straws, elastic bands, string, and hooks. Easy entry creates early empowerment!

Sky High – Always leave room for modification and optimization. Engineering is essentially limitless; everything can be engineered better. Initial development and testing should always be followed by time to modify and improve designs. That is a key difference between a science lab activity and an engineering project. There is no one, right answer. The sky is the limit. Students should always have the opportunity to reach as far as possible and to recognize that we can all always do better.  Encourage students to look for both incremental and moonshot improvements. Continuous improvement is contagious. Sky high means no limits!

A Mile Wide – Never discourage customization. One of the ideas we stress is that students should have the ability to pick the end-user for their product or process. Good design is based on empathy and addressing someone’s needs. Student choice leads to student engagement. And it showcases the amazing talent in your classroom. Going wide lets everyone start from the same place and reach very different end products. Give students room to follow their own path and to explore those creative edges. Going a mile wide goes beyond thinking outside the box – it knocks down the walls!

We always encourage teachers to think of the design space as being framed by constraints and criteria. It is just as important to think of the learning space as having low floors, high ceilings, and wide walls. When students are comfortable beginning new projects, willing to reach high goals, and engaged in exploring their own path … magic happens!

Is contracting for me?

Stepping into the world of Contracting may initially seem a daunting prospect. There are several factors to take into consideration before working on a contract basis:

Location – there is a high probability that your assignments could be much further away from home than your usual daily commute. Partners and children do need to be taken into consideration (if you value your family life!) when deciding. However, with our focus on the North of England, we always try and place locally based Contractors with our clients wherever possible.

Day rate – generally contracting is perceived to be highly lucrative. It is true that the day rates may seem initially high but don’t forget, you have to take care of all your tax and NI payments, pension, run your own car, provide your own lap top and often pay for accommodation out of the overall day rate. However, once you are established and have worked out how many billable days you want to achieve in any given tax year, it can provide a healthy income.

Where there is risk, there is reward – if you have a large mortgage or substantial monthly financial commitments, contracting may not be the best route for you at this stage. This is due to the fact that there are no guarantees of continuity and the majority of Contractors will allow for “downtime” between contracts.

People will pay for a specialist –work out what your area of specialism is. This may be harder than you think as most people will have got to a stage in their career where they view themselves as having a breadth of experience. The Contract market is a competitive place and hiring managers want to see specifics on a CV in terms of what you have delivered, your ability to influence and stakeholder engagement/management skills. Your specialism will typically be sector specific or skill specific (ie thorough knowledge of mortgage back office processes, CRM implementation specialist, lean sigma trained etc).

IR35 – this has been a topic of discussion for a number of years now. HMRC implemented a stricter interpretation of it in 2016 across the Public Sector. The new rules were due to be implemented across the Private Sector in April 2020 but have been delayed until April 2021 for various reasons. After 5th April 2021, the end user of the contractor service will have to make a determination as to whether the role falls inside or outside IR35. There appears to have been confusion in understanding the proposed changes with organisations making blanket decisions and forcing contractors down a specific route (ie moving onto payroll or working via an umbrella). For specific advice you should employ the services of a reliable and experienced practicing accountant/specialist IR35 advisor. No-one wants to fall foul of HMRC. The above however is only current Government policy. In the present climate, the new rules may be again postponed or dropped altogether. This is an important issue that must be closely watched.

It isn’t for everyone – Contractors are often recruited to make some difficult decisions within an organisation. This is what the client is paying for. Your focus always has to be what is best for the paying client, which could mean identifying headcount reduction or dealing with poorly performing third party suppliers. Though these are decisions that can be difficult to make, Contractors have the luxury of not having to get too involved in company politics, which is often one of the key driving factors for going into contracting in the first place.

For more information, please contact one of our experienced consultants for an initial discussion on 0845 9002175.

No cause of action in private nuisance - Art 8 ECHR

Fearn v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery

[2020] EWCA Civ 104

There was no cause of action that existed in respect of a private nuisance for overlooking. The instant case was more akin to an invasion of privacy rather than nuisance, and Parliament should be the body to legislate that area rather than the Courts. It was not appropriate to use Article 8 of the ECHR to extend the common law in that respect.

A block of flats was in a development adjacent to a new extension of the Tate Modern art gallery. Each flat comprised a general living space, and a triangular end piece known as a "winter garden". The winter gardens had floor-to-ceiling windows, and although they had been conceived by developers as a form of indoor balcony, a number of tenants used these "gardens" as part of their living accommodation. Five tenants in the block were the Claimants in the instant matter.

The Tate Gallery had built a viewing gallery around all four sides of the top floor, which was open to visitors. Those visitors using the gallery had an uninterrupted view of the living areas of the flats, looking in and sometimes using cameras and binoculars.

The tenants claimed that the use of sections of the viewing gallery unreasonably interfered with their enjoyment of their flats so as to be a nuisance. They also claimed that this amounted to a breach of their rights under Article 8 of the ECHR and, that as the Tate Gallery was a public authority, the Tate was in breach of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”).

The issues were therefore:

  • Was there a breach of the tenants’ human rights under the 1998 Act?
  • Could the act of overlooking ground a cause of action in private nuisance?
  • Did the facts of the case establish a private nuisance?

First instance

 Mann J found that although there was a great degree of intrusion into the flats, the privacy claim under the 1998 Act failed because the Tate Gallery was not exercising functions of a public nature – see section 6(3)(b) of the 1998 Act. None of the factors raised by the tenants were determinative of this question, and it had to be viewed as part of a “global assessment” of the case.

With regards to the action in private nuisance, the Judge found that overlooking could amount to an actionable nuisance and there did not have to be an "emanation" from one land to another to ground such a cause of action. Any doubt was resolved by Article 8 of the ECHR, and the Courts could give effect to those rights by developing the common law. Whether or not a particular instance of overlooking would amount to an actionable nuisance would depend on all the circumstances of the case and whether there was a legitimate expectation of privacy.

However, Mann J concluded that a claim in nuisance was not made out. The tenants lived in an inner-city environment, and so could expect less privacy than in rural areas, and the operation of the viewing gallery was not inherently objectionable – viewing into the tenants’ flats was not its purpose. In choosing to buy the flats, the tenants had created or submitted themselves to an increased sensitivity to privacy.

Mann J was of the opinion that it would be wrong to allow a self-induced exposure to the outside world to create a liability in nuisance. This was not least because the winter gardens had been conceived as a form of an internal balcony, and one did not expect as much privacy on a balcony. By moving their living activities into that area, the tenants had created their own additional sensitivity to the viewing public. Finally, the tenants could have taken remedial measures such as installing blinds etc to reduce their complaints.

The claim therefore failed.

Decision on appeal

The Court of Appeal (Etherton MR, Lewison and Rose LJJ) dismissed the appeal by the tenants, although they disagreed with Mann J in a number of respects.

They found that the weight of judicial authority established that there was no cause of action in private nuisance for overlooking and likened it to rights to light and rights to air flow. Not every annoyance was actionable.

With regards to overlooking, it would be difficult to apply the objective test in nuisance for determining whether there had been a material interference with the amenity value of the land. When considering whether to extend the common law, it was relevant to look at other means of protecting individuals, including planning laws and control. The instant case was more akin to an invasion of privacy rather than damage to interest in property, and there were already laws that bore on privacy. It was more appropriate to leave it to Parliament to formulate further laws as they deemed necessary rather than extending common law nuisance.

Furthermore, Mann J had approached the Article 8 question incorrectly. Instead, the Judge should have asked himself whether, if the tort of nuisance did not otherwise extend at common law to overlooking, there was nevertheless an infringement of Article 8. If so, the next stage was whether it was appropriate to extend the common law in order to provide a remedy for the tenants and so avoid a breach of section 6 of the 1996 Act on the part of the Courts as a public authority. The Judge made no finding of infringement of Article 8 because he decision was, in essence, that there was no reasonable expectation of privacy where preventative measures had not been taken by the tenants. Nevertheless, there had not been a case of ‘overlooking’ before the Strasbourg Court, and Article 8 would distort the common law tort of private nuisance – for example in the broader range of persons for whose benefit it could be invoked, the breadth of factors to consider in each case, and the applicability of justification under Article 8(2).

There was therefore no justification to extend common law private nuisance, and the claim had to fail on all issues.

Lavish Bonus? Luxury Trip? Health Benefits Brokers Will Have to Disclose What They Receive From the Insurance Industry

Employers trust brokers to guide them to the best value, but conflicts of interest abound. Tucked into the coronavirus relief bill, a new federal requirement will mandate more transparency.

And one provision in the 5,593-page measure passed last month could lead to revealing conversations between employers and the brokers they rely on to find them the best deals on health insurance and other benefits.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the much-debated legislation that authorized a new round of stimulus checks for many U.S. households, mandates that brokers disclose to employers how much they make from insurance carriers and vendors.

Health benefits brokers are trusted advisers to employers, who sponsor health plans for about 150 million Americans. But ProPublica showed in 2019 how the insurance industry influences the consultants behind the scenes with cash and gifts — from six-figure bonuses to swanky island getaways. Critics called it “a classic conflict-of-interest” that may cause brokers to put the industry’s interests above those of their employer clients, which drives up costs. In response to the ProPublica story, senators proposed legislation to require disclosure of the perks and payments.

Companies provide an array of services to employer sponsored health plans, including traditional health insurance, vision and dental products, pharmacy benefits, third-party administration, claims review and more. Each service provider may provide payments to brokers that might be unknown to the employer. For example, a pharmacy benefit manager might pay a broker a fee for every prescription filled under a health plan. Or a third-party administrator might give the broker a payment for each employee on a health plan.

Under the newly passed requirement, brokers and consultants must tell employers the various forms of direct or indirect compensation they receive from vendors associated with a health plan. The disclosures must take place at the time the employer enters into the agreement with the broker or when it’s renewed. The act also requires brokers to disclose their compensation to individuals who purchase insurance plans.

“It is a game changer,” said Doug Aldeen, a Texas attorney who specializes in law and regulations related to health plans. The requirement goes into effect in December, a year after the bill was signed into law, but Aldeen said employers should demand the “big reveal” now. “Frankly, it’s big money.”

A broker’s base commission can be 3% to 6% of the total health insurance premium, ProPublica found. That means the broker makes more as premiums go up. Commissions for some supplemental products can be as high as 40%, and bonuses could be as high as $150,000 for a single employer group. Bonuses may be based on the size of employers with a carrier or on keeping employers with an insurer when it comes time to renew. In addition to money, the industry treats brokers to bucket-list experiences, like batting against retired Yankee Mariano Rivera or taking a trip to the Super Bowl or a luxury resort.

Aldeen’s clients include the small but growing movement of brokers who have stopped taking industry cash. Instead, they get paid directly by employers, which eliminates the conflict of interest and gives them an incentive to deliver better value.

Adam Berkowitz, a St. Louis broker who has transitioned to having employers pay him directly, wrote about the Appropriations Act disclosure requirement on his company blog. He pointed out that industry payments to brokers are not illegal and have been considered the cost of doing business. But requiring their disclosure will at least alert employers of the potential conflicts of interest, he wrote.

Berkowitz told ProPublica he started his career working for an agency that was funded by industry money. He said emails would come from his bosses, urging brokers to push a particular policy or plan to employers because the agency was close to hitting bonus thresholds. “It’s absolutely front and center,” he said of the influence of industry commissions and bonuses, “and it doesn’t get disclosed to the employers.”

In contrast, getting paid directly by employers “allows us the freedom to be truly independent and work on behalf of the employers,” Berkowitz said.

Some of the big broker agencies are worth more than $1 billion, including Marsh & McLennan and Willis Towers Watson. Those two companies declined to comment for this story. The National Association of Health Underwriters, the broker trade group, said in a statement posted on Twitter that it supports transparency, but feels the legislation is redundant, and that the requirements “could be a financial burden on carriers, employers, agents and brokers.”

Michael Thompson, president of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, which represents employers, called the new disclosure requirements an encouraging “step in the right direction.” Knowing about the payments “is critical for plan sponsors if they are to interpret the advice they are getting day to day from their advisers,” he told ProPublica.

In 2019, ProPublica sent the country’s largest broker agencies a list of questions, asking if they took various types of bonuses and commissions from the insurance industry players. None of them would answer, but employers may soon be asking their brokers some of the same questions. Health Rosetta, an organization that certifies brokers and already requires them to disclose to employers all their sources of income, uses this disclosure form. It includes 17 types of vendors that may be paying a broker, including medical, disability, wellness, disease management and more.

Dave Chase, a Washington businessman, created Rosetta to transform how employers buy benefits. For employers, learning how much their brokers have been making from the health benefits industry may be “the business equivalent of finding out your spouse was cheating on you,” Chase said.

Chase said the next step is to reform the contracts that employers sign with the insurance companies and vendors that provide their benefits. They often limit an employer’s ability to access the data they need to analyze their spending, or restrict an employer’s ability to audit the claims, to make sure they are paid properly, a problem ProPublica has also covered.

Suicide rates are estimated to be 60 times higher in people with bipolar disorder compared with the general population. In addition, the ratio of suicide attempts to suicide is approximately 30:1 in this group vs 3:1 in the general population, which indicates greater lethality of suicidal acts in such individuals.1 These statistics underscore the urgent need for effective therapeutic approaches for this disorder — especially for bipolar depression, which has been found to be particularly treatment-resistant.2

Meanwhile, one company aims to directly address the need for suicide prevention in this population with an agent designed to treat suicidal ideation and behavior. If it receives US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, it will be the first oral treatment for Acute Suicidal Ideation/Behavior (ASIB) in bipolar depression. To learn more about this drug candidate, called NRX-101 (Cyclurad™), Psychiatry Advisor spoke with Jonathan C. Javitt, MD, MPH, an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland and former White House Health Advisor with 30 years of experience in drug development. He co-founded NeuroRx with Daniel C. Javitt, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University in New York who was among the first to discover the role of the N-methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) receptor in psychiatric illness, and is the author of more than 300 frequently cited scientific papers in cognitive neuroscience.

Psychiatry Advisor: How did the idea for this treatment come about?

Continue Reading

Dr Javitt: NeuroRx draws upon 30 years of basic and clinical science in the role of the NMDA, a receptor that regulates human thought processes, particularly depression and suicidality. The company has developed the first NMDA/ serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A) dual-targeted approach to the treatment of depression — a patented scientific advance that has the potential to overcome the limitations of previous generations of antidepressant drugs.

The NMDA class of drugs, including ketamine, was recognized as having the potential to treat depression decades ago, but was never developed because of its propensity to cause hallucinations and other side effects. In a similar manner, serotonin pathway antidepressants are contraindicated in suicidal patients because of their tendency to cause akathisia, a side effect known to be associated with suicidal behavior. NeuroRx scientists have demonstrated, in preclinical and early clinical studies, that combining NMDA and 5-HT2A antagonist agents in the same drug achieves an antidepressant effect that is comparable to that of leading antidepressants, while also blocking akathisia in preclinical studies and reducing suicidal ideation in clinical studies.

NeuroRx’s rapid drug development platform is enhanced by the discovery that the antidepressant effect of NeuroRx compounds is closely correlated with beneficial changes in brain chemistry, which can be measured non-invasively by magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Psychiatry Advisor: Why is there a need for a treatment designed for this specific indication?

Dr Javitt: Based on clinical data, experts now concur that acute suicidal ideation/behavior (ASIB) and depression are 2 separate entities. They are not one and the same, despite being related. Also, the FDA has agreed that ASIB is an approvable indication. Today there is no approved medicine for ASIB in bipolar depression; standard-of-care consists of hospitalized observation and, frequently, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This is very unfortunate because recent hospitalization for suicidal intent is one of the highest risk factors for further attempts, especially in the first months after release.3,4 Most recently, a research group from Yale [University] published data showing in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans that the brains of bipolar individuals with suicidal tendencies are different.5

Glaxo, Eli Lilly, Astra-Zeneca, and other big pharmaceutical companies have abandoned the field of psychiatry, because they struggled after their billion-dollar antidepressants became generic. The science at hand also did not enable them to bring forward agents that would truly be viewed as significant improvements. Key areas of unmet need remain: faster onset of action, higher levels of efficacy or overall response, and reduction in suicidal thoughts and behavior.

Traditionally, big pharma focused on major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. The bipolar field has received little attention —virtually all treatments are merely additional indications of antipsychotics or other agent classes such as olanzapine, quetiapine, lurasidone, and valproic acid, most of which are also generic now. Even more pressing is that clinical studies of virtually all antidepressants and antipsychotics have systematically excluded patients at increased risk of suicide. Serotonergic drugs have the potential to cause akathisia, which can increase the risk of suicide. Hence, they carry a black-box warning of this increased risk.

Psychiatry Advisor: What is NRX-101?

Dr Javitt: NRX-101 is a potentially rapid-onset and sustained oral treatment regimen currently in an FDA-cleared phase 2b/3 pending clinical trial for ASIB in patients with bipolar depression.6 The treatment, which is currently investigational, is a patented, oral, fixed-dose combination of 2 FDA- approved drugs: d-cycloserine, an NMDA receptor modulator, and lurasidone, a 5-HT2a receptor antagonist. NeuroRx’s investigational treatment approach begins with a single, one-time dose of ketamine for rapid stabilization, followed by approximately 6 weeks of daily oral NRX-101.

Preclinical studies have demonstrated an antidepressant effect comparable to market-leading antidepressants without the akathisia that occurs in 15% of clinical subjects given standard antidepressants. Peer-reviewed results from 2 phase 2 proof-of- concept studies showed a 50% reduction in symptoms of depression and a 75% reduction in suicidal ideation in patients with bipolar and treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Initial peer-reviewed studies measuring brain chemical changes in neurotransmitters (Glx) using MRI have demonstrated beneficial brain chemistry changes that meet or exceed changes reported with ECT, without the damaging side effects.

Psychiatry Advisor: For which types of patients will NRX-101 be best suited, and for whom might it not be indicated?

Dr Javitt: To date, NRX-101 is the only treatment in development for ASIB in bipolar patients. All other treatments are focused on TRD or suicidal ideation associated with TRD. The only drug planned to be studied as treatment in suicidal patients is esketamine. However, the  study will specifically exclude bipolar patients, in whom the incidence of suicidal ideation is the highest. In considering the needs of patients and the potential competition, we think that NRX-101 will help patients leave the hospital sooner, supported by an initial response to ketamine, and treated on an outpatient basis with 1 oral agent twice a day while maintaining close contact with their outpatient healthcare provider, thereby helping patients resume their normal routine sooner. Because it is not expected to be a controlled substance, this is especially crucial in a vulnerable population.

Psychiatry Advisor: What is the current status of development for NRX-101?

Dr Javitt: NRX-101 is initiating its phase 2b/3 study this year. As we are working on the recruitment of clinical study sites, our discussions with leading investigators at these sites consistently confirm our views of the high level of unmet need in this vulnerable population.

My approach to individual therapy is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBTs), including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal Training (HRT), and other mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches. CBT works by helping people understand why they think, feel, and act a certain way, and learn new patterns of behavior that create a more psychologically healthy and productive, meaningful life. Deciding to start therapy can feel daunting, and it can be hard to find a therapist that’s a good match, and that really gets where you’re coming from.  I come to the therapy space from a place of openness and compassion with the aim of helping you move toward therapy goals that you identify as most important to you.

Together, we’ll work on developing greater awareness of the underlying basis and function of behaviors that may be making you feel stuck, and learn new ways of handling difficult thoughts and feelings that better serve you in your life, and move you in the directions you want.  A session might involve working through a problematic situation, recognizing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving, facing your fears with support, or using mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques for coping with anxiety.  We’ll work on how to flexibly apply the skills we worked on in session to your life outside of the therapy room to be more effective in different contexts and settings throughout your life. Together, we’ll work on creating more of the life you want, and engaging in it in a more satisfying, meaningful way.

Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and ABSOLUT Investment Group signed a memorandum on long-term partnership

08 Feb 2018

A press conference on the development of inclusivity initiatives was held in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. The press conference included a ceremony where a memorandum was signed by representatives of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and the ABSOLUT Investment Group. The purpose of the partnership is to expand the scope of inclusivity-related initiatives in the Pushkin Museum and to develop digital and educational projects for visitors with special needs.

Marina D. Loshak:We are currently renovating the Museum Town of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and some of the museum treasures are not accessible to our visitors, especially those with special needs. We are doing our best to provide opportunities to enjoy the riches of our collections through digital and special educational projects. A dedicated team will be working on this.

An extension of the “Accessible Museum” project and its expansion beyond the limits of the Pushkin Museum became possible thanks to the involvement of the ABSOLUT Investment Group and its charity fund “Absolut-Pomosch.” The memorandum on this partnership was signed by Marina Loshak, Director of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and Aleksander Svetakov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABSOLUT Investment Group / Chairman of the Board of “Absolut-Pomosch” Charity Fund.

Aleksander A. Svetakov:  “In 2017 we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the charity fund “Absolut-Pomosch,” which helps children who have had to face massive challenges very early in life. Some of them have lost their parents, some are gravely ill, and  some were born with serious conditions. But each of them has dreams and aspirations, and none of them have given up hope. These are strong kids who only need a helping hand to have a good life.”

The “Accessible Museum” project was launched in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in the fall of 2016. We currently offer tours in sign language (Russian), tactile workshops and audio descriptions, and classes and tours for children with special developmental needs. The Pushkin Museum organizes “The Inclusive Festival” and a conference on the topic for museum professionals. We are planning to conduct a summer school for our colleagues from regional museums. Our schedule also includes the development of methodology guidelines for remote education.

Visit our site for more information on our programs for visitors with special needs:

The “Absolut-Pomosch” Charity Fund provides help and support to seriously ill children and children with special needs, and it facilitates the social integration of orphans and remedial school graduates. In 2014 “Absolut-Pomosch” opened the first private boarding school “Absolut” for children with health limitations in the Moscow region. The fund’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children whose opportunities are limited by their physical conditions or their social circumstances. We help children who find themselves in difficult life situations.

Movies of 2016

The year of 2016 has been filled with new dramatic, funny, action-filled, and emotional movies.

Many of the movies were an extension of a series. Others were based on books, and some were originals.

“My favorite movie of 2016 was Finding Dory. I had been waiting for the sequel of Finding Nemo ever since I first saw it when I was a little kid.”-Christina Newman

Some of the top grossing movies of 2016 were sequels or a continuation of a series. Movies like Finding Dory and Captain America Civil War, and Rogue One: a Star Wars Story. The top ten grossing movies were; 10-Doctor Strange, 9-Suicide Squad, 8-Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, 7-Zootopia, 6-Deadpool, 5-The Jungle Book, 4-The Secret Life of Pets, 3-Captain America: Civil War, 2-Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, 1-Finding Dory.

The movies ranged from all different genres. Whether you like action, thriller, romance, Fantasy, etc. there was every type of movie made.

David Pelzer says “I loved the movie Hacksaw Ridge.”

Hacksaw Ridge is a true story about a war hero that saved many people’s lives without ever picking up a weapon in war. Other people enjoyed slower and friendlier movies.

“One of my favorite movies was The BFG. I loved the book when I read it and they did a great job with the movie.”-Kylie Pelzer

The BFG is a children’s movie based on the book by Roald Dahl. Other people enjoyed movies that were a part of long loved series.

Josh Pelzer, as well as many others say “My favorite movie was definitely Rogue One. I am obsessed with Star Wars.”

Rogue One premiered December 16, 2016. Many fans looked forward to it as another add on the the Star Wars series.

The movies of 2016 were great and 2017 should bring bigger and better.
