Bright Green Desks for a Brighter Future

Bright Green Desks for a Brighter Future

July until the end of September 2017 saw Wildlands distribute 516 double Green Desks to 14 schools across KwaZulu-Natal – ultimately giving 1032 learners a solid learning space.

The delivery of the Green Desks forms part of a broader “Virtuous Circle” project that promotes sustainable recycling partnerships involving the consumer goods industry, government and civil society – and most importantly, school children.

The Virtuous Circle concept is founded on three pillars – feeding, recycling and education. The delivery of Futurelife Smart food pouches to schools, the collection of waste for recycling and the manufacture of the Green Desks is all made possible through the support of DuPont, Amcor, Futurelife®, Wastebuster, Woolworths, the KZN Department of Public Works, Perspex SA, Rural Waste Poverty Alleviation Solutions (RWPA) and Wildlands.

Each double Green Desk ensures that 60kgs of waste (previously unrecyclable multi-layered material) is diverted from landfill, or worse, left uncollected – a testament to the world’s endemic plastic pollution problem.

The desks containing recycled waste from the multilayer pouches were delivered to schools involved in the project.  In this way, the school children, who have already enjoyed the nutritious food kept fresh by the pouches, are getting to see first-hand the benefits of a circular economy approach.

“Nutrition is key to learning, as it provides learners with the fuel to engage in school activities, and thrive. Our primary goal at Futurelife is to help learners prepare for healthy and productive lives, and good nutrition is central to that,” says David Sweidan, GM: Marketing and Sales. “Futurelife has a history of ensuring South African children are given their best chance in life. The brand was founded 10 years ago, primarily to feed disadvantaged and vulnerable people,” he adds.

“The Virtuous Circle project was inspired by several of the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) in action. It would simply not have been possible without the unrivalled expertise, active support, and incredible dedication of the various partners involved. This collaborative model was recognized as a best practice for addressing the issue of single-use waste holistically and the Virtuous Circle won the Circular Economy Award of Packaging Europe’s 2017 Sustainability Awards,” said DuPont Global Sustainability Value Chain and Project Leader, Sarah Perreard.

“Packaging plays an essential role in preserving and transporting food. The Virtuous Circle shows that it has an even greater value when it is recycled – in this case for school desks but also for building material to construct low cost housing. We’re proud to be part of a collaboration that is making a tangible difference to the lives of young people,” said Dr. Gerald Rebitzer, Amcor Sustainability Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“For more than a decade, Woolworths has created valuable educational resources and provided learning opportunities to thousands of schools in South Africa through the MySchool programme. This is an exciting new way to add shared value,” said Tom McLaughlin, Woolworths Good Business Journey specialist.

“It is humbling to see the joy and energy a school desk brings to children,” said Wildlands’ Senior Manager of Recycling, Hanno Langenhoven. “It is a real privilege to be able to deliver the Green Desks to learners with the help of our partners. When delivering the desks one can see the difference it makes, from a visibly cleaner school environment to the passion it cultivates in the learners which directly relates to improved scholastic performance and a brighter future.”

When Green Desks were delivered to Inchanga Primary School, the Vice Principal, Caroline Jali commented: “These desks make a huge a difference because many of the learners don’t have desks. The school continues to grow at a considerable rate with a huge number of new learners every year, however this means that more desks are needed or more learners will be without.”

Toddlers can now play sailor aboard the Battleship New Jersey Museum

The Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial on the Camden Waterfront has created a nautical-themed play and learning space for pre-schoolers visiting with their schools or their families

Share This Story

The floating battleship museum in Camden has been a difficult tour destination for toddlers because the USS New Jersey's size and multiple decks make it difficult to negotiate.

They cannot take regular tours because trying to climb steep ladders between decks is unsafe and many are not tall enough regardless; they can't read most signs, they may not understand exhibits and they can tire or get bored easily.

However, the visitor experience has just changed for pre-schoolers and kids up to age 6 who just started school. That's because the Battleship's smallest guests now have their own corner on the historic ship —Jason's Kids Kompartment,

The museum recently opened a dedicated space inside the main deck where toddlers can play and learn a little at the same time about the New Jersey Battleship Museum and Memorial moored on the Camden Waterfront. The space is named for Jason Hall, the battleship's former curator, who had the vision and design concept for the nautically themed play space but died of brain cancer in June before it could become a reality.

Kids can 'steer' the ship

"I love everything," exclaimed happy 6-year-old Alina Perez, whose Veterans Memorial Family School in the Cramer Hill section of Camden was the christening class visiting the compartment on a preview tour along with the children of a few museum staffers.

Everything in the space was a hit with the kids from the walk-in, mini-model of the forward hull of the battleship — complete with the ships "62" hull number — and where they were able to "steer" the ship's wheel to the galley where they prepared meals with pots, pans, dishes and plastic "food."

"After many years  we finally can offer an experience for guests of all ages. The pre-school children now have a safe and fun place to play and learn a little about the battleship and the Navy," museum CEO Philip Rowan said at the unveiling event.

Hall's successor as curator, Ryan Szomanski, said these youngest visitors now can experience some of the things in this mini play museum others see on a regular tour.

'Children learn best through play'

Defense contractor Lockheed Martin provided the funds to create the special compartment, which is open to families who take the ship's regular Fire Power Tour and is available to rent for birthday or other parties.

And for teachers, parents or other chaperones, the room is equipped with a WiFi connection.

Denise Kaeferle, a kindergarten teacher at the public K-8 Veterans Memorial Family School, was impressed with the new hands-on compartment for kids.

 "It's an excellent addition for early childhood children to visit because it is more at their level of interest and understanding. The children learn best through play," she said.

The two dozen students from the Camden school also rocked in a wooden boat, played with toy boats, tools and an old-fashioned phone, colored pictures at the mini-post office and played with a mini-basketball and hoop. Afterward, they went on a kiddie tour of the main deck and had a pizza party with cake for the occasion.

Cooking up a history lesson

Dayron Marquez, 6, was among the children who tried on one of several military uniforms that hung for them to try on on locker doors that belonged to sailors in this former bunking area where they slept.

He found a khaki uniform shirt there, donned it to play with a toy boat whose port and starboard sides opened up to reveal a sailor's hammock berth and a galley, and wouldn't part with it until it was time to go.

Asked what the battleship is, Dayron replied it "goes on the sea and shoots up rockets."

Meanwhile, in the midst of the romping by her fellow students quiet 5-year-old Gloria Galcia was content playing at the chessboard with a student teacher.

"My father taught me," she said.proudly.

Addaleigh Baumgartner, 2, took right to the galley kitchen stove, counter top and refrigerator with year-old brother Colin, putting neat place settings on the table, adding  "food" she took from the fridge and then announcing, "I'm making ketchup and mustard."

Her father Robert, a new tour guide on the ship, said his daughter must take after her great-grandfather, Martin Baumgartner, a cook third class in the Navy during World War II.

"She always wants to help in the kitchen," her mother added.

Jatnnerys Vizcaino  had he own idea of fun — sweeping up glittery ribbon confetti that had been thrown after Jason Hall's mother Denise "christened" the wooden gray ship hull with a plastic bottle to roughly replicate the real christening of the battleship in 1942 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard after it was built for World War II service.

"It was a mess, so I was cleaning," the 5-year-old girl explained as she broomed confetti and swept into a dust pan. "I like to clean the ship,' she said repeatedly when asked what she liked best about being there.

STEM lessons at 'sea'

Lockheed Martin has partnered with the battleship on other exhibits and programs since 2003 to advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

"We know firsthand the importance  of educating our young people in these areas ... and we look forward to  seeing what these young minds  will achieve together," said Jim Sheridan, Lockheed Martin vice president and general manager of its Moorestown facility.

Museum Development Director Clark Perks said he believes the kids corner will lead to increased membership to the museum.

"Parents wanting to get the kids out of the house can come here and have a unique place for them to visit and play," he said.

One mother that visited Thursday already had signed her family up for a $75 annual family membership, which gives them unlimited visitation to the ship and certain events.

Denise and Scott Hall drove from Jefferson, New Hampshire, for the unveiling of  the Kids Kompartment named after their son. They said their curator son Jason, a professional who never sought the limelight and was content to remain in the background, would have been proud and humbled.

"We didn't know what to expect, but this place for kids is amazing and there's more here than in my wildest dreams," his mother said.

"If he (Jason) were here, he would say, "Wow, Mom! Look what we've done!"

Review: I purchased an dress at a craft fair years ago that has become one of my favorite dresses. I finally decided to design my own and created a faux woodgrain dress using high resolution images of fake woodfiber. I love the fabric and fit of the dress, it is an extremely great value for the price! You really can't beat it.
Pros: This dress is so adorable and the fabric is so soft. I've never seen this fabric quality used for image printing and I will go out of my way to print on it again! I wish I knew which other dresses were the same blend!.
Cons: The only surprise was that the color of the image is lighter then I expected. This may have been my fault with the images I uploaded being lighter on my computer screen or the soft fabric may not print in the same way that more synthetic fabrics do. Either way I would recommend increasing the saturation of your images on this one.
Bottom Line: This dress is very attractive and fits great! I would order another one asap!.

Review: I'll admit it, I wasn't expecting to be keeping this in my own wardrobe. I sell Cowcow dresses print on demand in my Etsy shop and order a sample of each one to take my own photos. I've been looking at this cut for awhile and thinking it would make a good line so when the 40% offer kicked in I made my order.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled when it arrived and ended up being comfy, opaque, flattering, and more importantly stays up!.
Pros: Just beautiful - stays up, nice material, fits like a glove.
Cons: I just don't go to enough parties!.
Bottom Line: Buy one, buy two... and get out on the town!.

Review: I keep going online and in store to find clothing that represent me and how I feel at this moment. But can never find anything I like so I decided to try and make my own customized dress. And I've never been more happy!! For everyone who love being creative and don't mind standing out, try customizing your clothes or accessories! It's a blast, plus you get all the "wow" looks!!.
Pros: Super soft materials!! And the print came on perfectly! I'm actually surprised that it arrived quicker than expected too! Overall, great product and have not disappointed me yet!!.
Cons: This is super minor but for the customization part, sometimes I have trouble with where the cut-off point are. I wasn't sure if I can leave some blank spaces outside the dotted lines if the image does not fit perfectly.
Bottom Line: At first I was a little bit hesitant because you never know how things will turn out. BUT LET ME SAY, I'M OFFICIALLY ADDICTED TO THIS SITE. I'm not exactly sure how I can imagine myself without customizing my fandom into everything now. I hope you will add more accessories like glasses or something!!.

Peel Regional Police is asking for the public's help in looking for a 50-year-old man wanted in a series of frauds in Mississauga.

It is alleged that on Nov. 4, 2018, the suspect persuaded a 70-year-old Brampton man to get a home security monitoring system. The suspect, police said, then told the victim to give him two brand new cell phone and the victim's laptop.

The items were never returned.

Last month, a 64-year-old Toronto woman, who met the suspect in a Mississauga bingo hall earlier this year, was allegedly told by the suspect that he had a used vehicle for sale.

Police said the victim paid a partial deposit to the suspect, but she did not receive the vehicle or her money back.

On July 9 and 10, investigators said the suspect persuaded a 33-year-old woman and a 64-year-old woman, both from Mississauga, to buy two new cellphones and hand them over to him to be unlocked.

The victims, who the suspect both met in a Mississauga bingo hall, were unable to get their phones or money back.

Police have issued an arrest warrant for Thomas Henry Ogden, 50, of Toronto for four counts of fraud.

The suspect is described as five-foot-six, with a thin build, short black hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing glasses.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.

Longtime Willowdale councillor John Filion says he’s retiring from city hall.

Filion confirmed Wednesday that he won’t be seeking re-election in the upcoming municipal election in October.

Speaking with CP24.com, Filion said he finally feels that he can step away from his role because there are good candidates that he can support to replace him.

“I finally have people from the community who I think can step into the role and continue on with the community building that I started,” he said.

In the upcoming provincial election in October, Ward 23 will be split into two new districts, Ward 28 and Ward 29. Filion said he is endorsing Markus O’Brien-Fehr – his longtime executive assistant – and Lily Cheng – a community organizer and the founder of the North York Moms group, who will be running in those respective wards.

Filion added that he has been concerned in the past that candidates backed by private interests might take over the role.

“If I had left without there being some strong candidates to succeed me, basically the land speculators would be taking over Willowdale,” Filion said.

Filion started his career in elected office as a North York school board trustee in the 1980s before running for a council seat in the former city of North York in 1991. He continued to represent the area on Toronto City Council after amalgamation in 1997.

He counts a smoking ban in Toronto bars and restaurants and the city’s Dine Safe restaurant rating system among his career achievements.

But he also says he’s proud of blowing the whistle on a land deal that led to an investigation involving the Toronto Parking Authority, a process that is still ongoing.

Most recently, he championed a proposal to reconfigure a stretch of Yonge Street in North York in order to make it friendlier for cyclists and pedestrians.

The Transform Yonge plan brought him into conflict with Mayor John Tory, who said he wouldn’t support a plan that removed car lanes from the busy stretch.  The decision was ultimately deferred, but Filion said he believes the need to build more community-focused spaces is becoming more apparent to most people.

“It’s creating a real sense of community in Willowdale. We have that as we saw after people came together after the (van attack) tragedy,” Filion said. “It really needs that physical community space.”

He said people also want to see a safer community and that means putting a stop to vehicles cruising through community space at high speed.

“It’s certainly moving in that direction at community meetings. You certainly see a shift toward community safety and people are willing to put up with some inconvenience to get that,” he said.

One of his most challenging times as a councillor came earlier this year when he helped the local community navigate the aftermath of the deadly Yonge Street van attack, which occurred in his ward.

“What stands out for me about that was obviously the tragedy and everybody in Willowdale is still coping with the trauma on the main street in our neighbourhood, but what was really remarkable was how the community came together during that awful time and how people showed such kindness and generosity and love towards each other,” Filion said. “It was really something to watch and be part of. I’ve never been so proud of my neighbourhood as I have been this year.”

And after three decades in office, Filion said he expects he’ll miss the people most of all.

“As a political junky I’ll miss some of the political action. Mostly I’ll miss the kind of daily interaction with people in Willowdale and with an amazing office team and with some of my colleagues on council who I’ve really enjoyed working with.”

As he prepares to depart, he said it’s tough to pinpoint any one challenge that he thinks council will face going forward. However he does lament what he sees as creeping party politics at city hall.

“It’s unfortunate – there’s a lot more political polarization which really bothers me to see in municipal politics,” Filion said. “It should just be about everybody coming together to do the right thing and political ideology and political party allegiance shouldn’t enter into it at all.”

He said there’s a scarcity of independent thinkers left at council. However he does give high marks to St. Paul’s colleague Coun. Josh Matlowe.

“He always calls it as he sees it,” Filion said. “He doesn’t base his vote or his analysis of issues according to what party he belongs to or who his friends are or who else is in favour.”

So what comes after city politics?

For now, he says he’s more interested in “the freedom to do other things.”

“I certainly won’t be golfing. I’ll be staying very active, probably with more of a focus on city-building.”

He said he’s not yet sure what form that might take, but he has no immediate plans.

Also, he might try his hand at writing another book. In 2015 he published a book about former colleague and Toronto mayor Rob Ford – a venture he said cost him two years without sleep or holidays.

“I’m also looking forward to sitting down and writing and doing it all day with a pot of coffee – it’ll be a bit of heaven,” he said.

Possible topics include travel and music, but he hasn’t committed to anything yet.

He said a possible run at provincial or federal office is not part of his plans – for now.

“It’s not anything I’ve ever wanted to do. I’d be surprised if I wanted to do it now, but you never know what the future’s going to bring.”

Essay on Social Media 's Impact On The World Of Today

1456 Words May 8th, 2015 null Page
With technology taking over the world of today, it is no longer unusual for worldwide news stories to be broken through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter rather than being circulated by traditional medias like Associated Press and Reuters etc (Aeur 2011). The evolution of social media have widely changed the way that people interacts. This new form of communication is considered as most dynamic and powerful communication channel till date as it has the potential to spread message to every nook and corner of the world almost instantaneously. Because of its global and real-time nature, the use of social media for crisis communication has always been increasing which can be proved by some of the major crisis situation like Japan Tsunami, Haiti earthquake, Nepal earthquake etc.

Schultz et al (2011) describes that social media plays a vital role in forming and shaping the mindset of general people towards the crisis. People trust social media more than traditional media during the time of crisis. These are the times when passive users of social medias also get flowed into media websites as they think they can get timelier and reliable information directly from place of crisis or ground zero. Unlike in the traditional media, the information on the social media are not checked or controlled by editor. As most of the people have access and has got freedom to share their voice in social media, some irresponsible people could be engaged in manipulating the information…

Building a Resilient Organisation: The Design of Risk-Based Reasoning Chains in Large Distributed Systems

In this book, John Arthur and Louise Moody introduce the concept of the reasoning chain, a new approach to risk-based reasoning systems in large, complex and distributed organisations. Arguing that large, complex and distributed organisations are particularly focussed on a triple-helix of chain metaphors – supply, value and reputation chains – the authors propose that there is overwhelming evidence that the accepted approaches to risk and resilience do not compliment this architecture. This is extremely problematic because risk and resilience constructs have been formally and informally regulated for these industries.

The Reasoning Chain proposes and illustrates a holistic solution to the problems thrown up by existing norms. It is proposed that the reasoning chain be intentionally designed on an equal footing with supply, value and reputation; a quadruple helix. Through challenge of best practice, an argument unfolds to outline the novel approach for risk based resilience reasoning in large distributed organisations, illustrated through a series of case studies and guidance to implementation.

This book is an accessible and valuable resource for risk managers and decision makers responsible for complex business decisions.

Redesigning the ‘Work Life Balance’ Perspective

There is no doubt that the boundaries between our professional and personal lives are today more permeable and flexible than ever before.

The infamous ‘work life balance’ for many is more of a struggle today with the response from employers  unfortunately often sadly outdated and not at all fit for purpose.

‘Away days’ from the workplace spent paint balling or doing yoga just won’t cut it anymore.  Nor will simply adding a coffee dock and standing desks to the workplace environment in the mistaken belief that these will some how motivate employees and retain staff morale in the long term.

It is not saying that these are unhelpful.  Clearly they do serve a purpose.  But rather that they will not resolve the sense of disconnect, discontent and something far deeper and profound which many are experiencing.

In reality there is a need to understand that it is no longer simply a case of ‘one or the other’.  Its not about either prioritising your career or that of your personal commitments to the detriment of the other.

Both employees and employers are slowly coming to the realisation that it is about successfully integrating the two elements in an individualised, meaningful and person centred way.

Until such time as this is fully understood and achieved, individuals will continue to be rarely truly present and engaged either personally with their loved ones or professionally with their colleagues.

Joe McDonald, Founder of create10 provides one to one confidential coaching for busy professionals; discovering powerful ways to create meaning, clarity and focus to enhance performance across all of the client’s life.  Also working with business in developing truly person centred organisational cultures through impactful workshops and online courses.

How to Repay Holiday Debt

How to Repay Holiday Debt

Between the glitzy advertisements and the festive decor, it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit and spend more than you should. In fact, an Experian survey found that Americans planned on spending $846 on holiday gifts last year, and that number didn’t even take into account expenses like travel or decorations.

If you don’t have that much money tucked away in savings — and many people don’t — you’ll likely turn to credit cards, instead. Once the Christmas tree is taken down, you may be left with a hefty credit card statement and sky-high interest rates. If that’s the case, don’t despair! Here’s what you need to know to pay off your holiday debt.

5 ways to pay off holiday debt

If you have holiday debt, it’s important to come up with a plan of attack to pay it down as quickly as possible. If you’re not sure where to start, use these five tips:

1. Create a budget

First, you need to know how much money you have to work with. Start by listing all of the income you have coming in each month, such as your salary, rental earnings, or alimony. Then, list all of your regular monthly expenses, such as rent, utilities, car insurance, groceries, internet service, and your cell phone bill.

Your income should outpace our expenses, and any surplus money you have you can allocate toward your debt.

If you’re barely breaking even, look for ways to cut back. Perhaps you can shop around for cheaper car insurance, or skip eating out to save on food. Reducing your expenses can free up more cash for debt repayment.

2. Consider debt consolidation

According to the Federal Reserve, the average interest rate on a credit card is 16.97%. With such a high rate, your balance can quickly grow, causing you to owe far more than you originally charged.

One way to tackle your credit card balances is to consolidate your debt by taking out a personal loan. With this approach, you take out a loan for the amount of your debt, using it to pay off your high-interest credit cards. Personal loans can have much lower interest rates than credit cards — some personal loan lenders offer rates as low as 4.99% — and have fixed repayment terms, helping you save a significant amount of money.

3. Complete a balance transfer

If you have good credit, another option to consider is completing a balance transfer. With this strategy, you transfer your balance to a card with a low interest rate, giving you time to down your debt without paying interest fees.

One card to look at is the Chase Freedom Unlimited® card. It offers a 0% introductory APR for 15 months from account opening on balance transfers. That promotional period gives you over a year to pay down your debt without paying interest. After that introductory period expires, a variable APR of 16.74% to 25.49% will apply, as of October 2019.

4. Pick up a side hustle

If you don’t have a lot of money left over each month for debt repayment, think about boosting your income by picking up a side hustle. Unlike traditional part-time jobs, which have fixed schedules, side hustles allow you to work whenever it’s convenient for you, and there’s no need to commit to a certain number of hours per week.

You can earn extra income by delivering groceries with Shipt, driving for Uber, cleaning houses with Handy, or doing odd jobs with TaskRabbit. Depending on what side gig you choose, you could earn up to $20 per hour, which can accelerate your debt repayment.

5. Pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first

The most cost-effective way to pay off your debt is the debt avalanche method. With this technique, you make the minimum payments on all of your debt, but you put any extra money you have toward the credit card with the highest interest rate first. By focusing on the card with the highest interest rate rather than the lowest balance, you’ll save more money over the length of your repayment.

Managing your holiday debt

If you have debt after the holidays, you’re not alone; It’s a common problem. However, it can be a serious one, so it’s important to come up with a repayment strategy so you can pay off your credit card balances as soon as possible. By using these tips, you can get out of debt, and save money in the process, putting you in a more secure financial position for next year’s holiday season.

Raynes Was Touch And Go

28 August 2017

Defender Michael Raynes was touch-and-go to face rivals Port Vale on Saturday after rolling his ankle in training ahead of our short trip to Vale Park.

The Crewe Alexandra boss David Artell chose not to risk the former Carlisle defender, giving him a few days extra recovery. The experienced centre-half has a chance of being involved against Newcastle United’s U-23s in the Checkatrade Trophy tomorrow evening.

David Artell told us: “Michael rolled his ankle in training and he was touch and go for the game. He was more touch than go. It was a blow because he was a colossus for us against Barnet the week before but one player does not define the team.

“We don’t fall to pieces because we miss one player and that is the same with all of them. Those who played at the back certainly stood up to be counted at Port Vale and that is what you have a squad for.

“It is never just about the 11 players. It is about the whole group contributing to make sure we get the victory.”

MH370 disappearance – Malaysia DCA chairman resigns

July 31, 2018

 The head of Malaysia’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has resigned in the wake of the latest report on the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

The Boeing 777-200 carrying 239 passengers and crew disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

CAA chairman Azharuddin Abdul Rahman announced he will leave the agency in 14 days. A report released this week by a multinational investigation team highlighted lapses in communication and coordination between air traffic controllers in Malaysia and Vietnam. The report concluded that these shortcomings delayed alerting and search and rescue operations.

Rahman said that while the report does not suggest the crash was caused by Malaysian aviation officials, “nevertheless, there are very apparent findings with regard to the operations of the Kuala Lumpur air traffic control center.” The report “stated that the air traffic controller[s] did not comply with certain standard operating procedures,” Rahman said.

“Therefore, it is with regret and after much thought and contemplation that I have decided to resign” as chairman, Rahman said. He stressed that he “tried my level best to assist in the search for MH370” over the last four years. “I am saddened to have to leave under these circumstances.”

The investigation team was appointed by Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport. In response to the report, the ministry said it will review the recommendations and take “appropriate improvement measures” to prevent similar incidents. “At the same time, we will also conduct [a] thorough investigation and take action against any misconduct committed based on the findings under the existing provisions of the law,” the ministry said.

  • Steel Production
July 17, 2019

Steel makers stare at rising ore cost

Non-integrated players on course for 300-400 bps decline in Ebitda margins through next fiscal

In fiscal 2019, India is estimated to have produced 207 million tonne of iron ore, 65-70% of which was by merchant miners and the rest by captive steelmakers. Odisha alone is estimated to have produced 114 million tonne, or more than half of India’s iron ore production. Of this, 70% was produced by merchant miners and the rest by captive steelmakers.

In March 2020, leases on over 30 iron ore mining leases which account for 50-55% of Odisha’s and 10% of other states’ production, is expiring. That could lead to a 30% reduction in iron ore output. Importantly, all these leases are held by merchant miners.

With the expiry of iron ore mining leases nearing, there is quite some uncertainty about the completion and scheduling of auctions for G2 exploration licenses. Further, based on our interactions with market participants, two sets of arguments posed by merchant and captive steelmakers in the supply chain bring us to three possible scenarios: (1) base case; (2) optimistic scenario; and (3) pessimistic scenario.

The base case assumes that the auctions would be conducted in a phased manner from the third quarter of fiscal 2020, with leases being opened largely for merchant miners. This case stems from two facts. First, the vintage factor given that these mines have been previously owned by merchant miners since more than a decade and two that the entire ecosystem of secondary steel making in the eastern region feeds from these mines. Around 40-45% of Odisha’s merchant iron ore production is consumed within the state and the rest is outbound to other states.

In this scenario, the supply disruption shall be limited, as the auction process will be phased. While the rise in iron ore prices will depend largely on the auction premium, under the base case, we believe the premium will be more rational, keeping the long-term landed prices in mind. This shall translate into a price hike of 15-20% in fiscal 2021 over the current fiscal. Domestic iron ore prices were half of the landed prices in last year, giving enough comfort to merchant miners. Further, the healthy profitability of merchant miners at 30-35% lends room for a 15-20% hike in prices.

Is There a Legal Obligation to Report Child Abuse: Yes!

Author: Vancouver Family Lawyer Colin Ferguson

In British Columbia the abuse or neglect of children is dealt with under both the criminal law and by the Child Family and Community Services Act (the “CFCSA). The provincial government enacted the CFCSA to set out when a child needs protection, the legal options available when concerns arise, and the processes involved when court proceedings are initiated.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development (the “MCFD”) is the government department tasked with safeguarding children and managing the policies of the CFCSA. Under the CFCSA, the Minister designates the Director of Child Protection, who in turn takes on the responsibility of ensuring that each child is cared for and safe within their homes. It is child protection social workers and their local offices who oversee the provision of child protection services throughout the province. In British Columbia, there are currently 429 ministry offices located in 13 service delivery areas, as well as delegated Aboriginal agencies.

Canada has also entered into international treaties to protect children from abuse. On December 13, 1991, Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (the “Convention”), along with 192 other members of the United Nations as “States Parties”. The Convention is the most endorsed human rights treaty in the world. As a signatory of the Convention, Canada has committed to providing children in Canada with the rights set out in the Convention on both the federal and provincial levels.

In British Columbia, the custody and parenting of children is governed by the best interest of children. Parents and/or guardians of a child have the legal obligation to ensure that the child is raised in a safe and healthy home, and not at risk of abuse or neglect by any party. If abuse of neglect is found the CFCSA can be engaged to allow the government to intervene.

However, it is not just parents who must protect children. Every person in British Columbia has a legal obligation under section 14 of the CFCSA to promptly report to the MCFD if they genuinely believe that a child has been or is likely to be abused or neglected and needs protection. Under section 14 the CFCSA, there are strict consequences for failing to report a child protection concern, as well as for making a false report to the MCFD. Both are offences under the CFCSA and carry a maximum fine of $10,000, up to six months in jail, or both.

So, what does “in need of protection” mean? According to section 13 of the CFCSA, it's when a child has been or likely to be:

  • physically harmed by a parent;
  • sexually abused or exploited by a parent;
  • when someone else has or is likely going to physically harm or sexually abuse the child and the parent isn’t able to or willing to protect the child;
  • when a child isn’t receiving necessary health care or development treatment;
  • when a parent isn’t adequately supervising their child – such as leaving young children alone or with inadequate caregivers; or
  • when a child is being emotionally harmed by something the parent is doing or by living in a situation of domestic violence.

Child protection social workers are legally required to follow up on all reports of neglect or abuse. They must keep the name of anyone who makes a report confidential. As mentioned above, it is an offence to report false claims of abuse or neglect to the MCFD.

If you are dealing with MCFD or have any questions related to abuse or the neglect of children, the British Columbia family lawyers at Crossroads law can help. Please give us a call to set up a consultation in person or over the phone.

CryptoClub BTM offers the following cryptocurrencies from our machines in Montreal:

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a digital payment system invented by an unknown programmer, or a group of programmers, under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It was released as open-source software in 2009.
The system is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain. Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, bitcoin is considered the first decentralized digital currency.
Besides being created as a reward for mining, bitcoin can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.
As of February 2016, over 200,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment. According to research produced by Cambridge University in 2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using bitcoin.
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.
This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk. Click here for more information.
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances. Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than the leading math-based currency. With substantial industry support, trade volume and liquidity, Litecoin is a proven medium of commerce complementary to Bitcoin. Click here for more information.

£11.2 million grant to improve battery technology for electric vehicles

The research aims to improve the cost, performance and range of batteries used in electric vehicles, helping pave the way for zero emission transport.

A new research consortium led by CSCT academic Professor Saiful Islam has been awarded £11.2 million by the Faraday Institution to explore and develop new materials for next-generation lithium batteries that can be used for electric vehicles.

The research aims to deliver improvements in the cost, performance and range of batteries used in electric vehicles, helping pave the way for zero emission transport.

The grant from the Faraday Institution will fund a four-year project entitled Next Generation Lithium-Ion Cathode Materials (CATMAT) to carry out research on new positive electrodes (cathodes) for battery technologies, similar to those that have helped to power the worldwide portable revolution in mobile phones, and laptop and tablet computers.

Current batteries contain cobalt, and there is a need to eliminate or greatly reduce the need for cobalt, which has significant cost, ethical and environmental issues. The new project will aim to transform fundamental understanding of novel cathodes that currently prevent the use of nickel-rich cathode materials (with low or no cobalt) and lithium-rich cathodes.

The multidisciplinary team is led by Professor Saiful Islam together with Dr Ben Morgan from the University’s Department of Chemistry. Other academic partners include University of Birmingham, University of Cambridge, University of Liverpool, University of Oxford, University College London and Diamond Light Source, bringing together a range of complementary strengths and new capabilities. The project will create up to 20 new positions for early career researchers.

The CATMAT project also has strong engagement with 12 industrial partners including Johnson Matthey, LG Chem, Huntsman, Williams Advanced Engineering and Qinetiq, and have already pledged a total of £1.1 million in in-kind support. This industrial collaboration will ensure that the research produces solutions that lead to technological and economic impact.

Welcoming the funding, Professor Saiful Islam said: “Energy storage is one of the major research challenges of our time. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery has transformed portable electronics and now has a crucial role in electric vehicles to lowering carbon emissions and improving air quality.

“The biggest performance gains to lithium-ion batteries are likely to come from changes to the chemistry of the positive electrode (cathode). Our new project therefore aims to develop new generations of cathode materials that deliver improvements in batteries used for electric vehicles with improved performance in cost and range.”

Powering Britain’s battery revolution, the Faraday Institution is the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology, supporting research, training, and analysis. The Faraday Institution’s mission is to accelerate breakthroughs in energy storage technologies to benefit the UK in the global race to electrification.

Boosting energy storage

The new CATMAT project will use a multidisciplinary research programme of underpinning science to engineer solutions that tackle key challenges. Chemists, materials modellers and manufacturing engineers will work together in close contact with supply chain companies and end-users.

The consortium will use their research findings to inform the discovery of novel cathode materials with enhanced properties. It will scale up the synthesis of the most promising new materials and assimilate them into battery cells to demonstrate performance.

Professor Islam’s and Dr Morgan’s research at Bath uses powerful computer modelling techniques to help explore and understand battery materials on the atomic scale that can be tested in experimental labs.

Professor Islam added: “Materials performance lies at the heart of the development of green energy technologies. Our research will involve developing and designing new materials that can be integrated into lab-scale battery devices thus demonstrating our key advances.”

Professor Peter Bruce, Wolfson Chair in Materials at the University of Oxford, added: “The multidisciplinary team will work with our industrial partners to accelerate the pull through of basic research to practical prototypes of future battery systems for electrical vehicles. An important aspect of the project will be a new cohort of trained researchers in the green energy sector.”

Neil Morris, CEO of the Faraday Institution said: “It is imperative that the UK takes a lead role in increasing the efficiency of energy storage as the world moves towards low carbon economies and seeks to switch to clean methods of energy production.”

The University of Bath is a major centre for multidisciplinary research in energy and the environment, which includes the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CSCT), the Institute for Sustainable Energy & the Environment (I-SEE) and the new Institute of Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS).

Cuba The Paradise

The paradise called Cuba is a sun-drenched tropical island that prides itself of its superb cultural, and both historical and artistic traditions. Its major centers host an incredible blend of spectacular historic and modern architecture; while its landscape is rich and varied in ecology, boasting such attractions as lush green mountains and mineral and medicinal springs.
Visitors to Cuba are usually mesmerized by its warm, clear, crystal blue waters, magnificent world-class beaches, superb hotels, villas, and resorts, as well as an exciting nightlife featuring great pubs and clubs. Cuba offers many activities and events catered to meet the expectations of anyone, including sports enthusiasts, travelers, partygoers, and history buffs.

The people of the island trace their ancestry to Spanish and African roots. They are sincerely friendly, warm, communicative, enthusiastic, and hospitable. Cubans are generally outgoing and fond of festivals, music, and especially; dancing. Cubans, in general, have a great sense of humor and usually joke around about almost anything. This is not to say that Cubans are shallow or cavalier, rather they usually face difficulties with a positive attitude. Cubans are extremely proud and value their national identity and social achievements. The people of Cuba are so friendly and helpful a traveler can count on being offered assistance in most places.

Safe environment:

Cuba is one of the safest countries throughout the Americas. The concept of crime as it exists in other countries is unheard of on this island. It is well policed, with police and enforcement present in almost all of the highly frequented areas.

Tourism in Cuba:

What draws people to the island of Cuba is a great deal more than beaches and sun, though there are plenty of both. Soothing timba beats and 1950s-era Chevrolets pervade the capital Havana, where life happens outside, in the streets. In the sleepy town of Trinidad, pastel-colored buildings line cobbled streets, where cigar-smoking locals draw you into conversations about economics, or turn up the music and invite you to dance.In the beautifully restored, enchanting and captivating city of Havana and Habana Vieja is the Museum of the Revolution. The compelling history and rich culture are laid bare in the surprising diversity of its architecture. In the center of Havana, almost every street seems to have a fascinating story to tell, whether one of colonial magnificence, past glamor, or revolutionary change – and it is, in fact, common to see all of these in just one block.Also, you might want to venture into the gently-sloping emerald hills of Valle de Los Ingenios to spot the rusting metal structures of closed sugar mills, rows of thriving tobacco plantations and billboards covered with Ché Guevara’s most famous quotes. The lack of signage outside of the capital is more than compensated for by roadside wanderers eager to provide directions in exchange for a ride home.

Activities and Events You Shouldn’t Miss:
Varadero Beaches:

Vardero is considered by many to be the most beautiful beach in the world. It includes twenty-one kilometers of fine white sand that welcome sun lovers interested in swimming and water sports. Varadero has been ranked the 10th best beach in the world by the 2012 edition of Traveler’s Choice.In addition to its stunning beaches, visitors can explore the surrounding area’s caves and cliffs. Nearby, visitors might be interested in venturing into the towns of Cardenas (and Matanzas) where you could meet the locals and enjoy a romantic seafood dinner in one of the many families-owned restaurants while watching the sunset.

Havana Malecón:

It is the perfect place to enjoy Havana’s soul. The esplanade is a magnet for locals and tourists alike. This sea boulevard extends 8 km along the historical areas of the city, from the colonial center of Habana Vieja all the way to Vedado. Along the busy boulevard, visitors marvel at the beauty of the surrounding buildings, with their charm and beauty. In the evening, the setting sun reflects upon the surrounding buildings and the Havana Bay, to give it a magical touch. While in Havana Malecón, visitors enjoy music played by many of the wandering bands, enjoy a fast peanut snack or just bask in the northern breeze.

Nightlife and Entertainment in Havana:

Havana’s Vedado district is well known for nights full of jazz music and Salsa dancing. It is where most of the music and dance clubs, as well as musical venues, are, while Miramar and Playa are the scenes for titillating floor shows.Old Havana is overflowing with bars, tango houses, and cultural centers.

The main strip of Calle Obispo is the place to begin an old town bar tour, where a seductive musical soundtrack and spontaneous street side grooving provide some of the city’s best free entertainment. As the bars close at midnight, the clubs get into full swing, continuing until the early hours. Queues at the weekends, however, are to be expected.

Eating and Drinking

Al Medina is one of the only Middle Eastern-style restaurants in Havana. They usually have a small but good band playing traditional Cuban music. They serve good seafood and beef shish kabobs as well as hummus, salads and vegetarian dishes. They also have somecomida tipica – traditional Cuban food. The main courses and side dishes are all prepared quite traditionally, and prices are relatively low.

2- El Asturianito

Paseo del Prado #563, third floor, between Teniente Rey and Dragones, across from the Capitolio.
El Asturianito has a similar menu to Los Nardos (a restaurant found on the lower level of the building) serving traditional Cuban/Creole food with a wide variety of beef, seafood and chicken dishes. The portions are huge and the prices are very low. Chances are, meals will not be finished and left overs will be taken home.
It is a pleasantly surprising experience in which some absolutely fantastic food is served on a budget.

3- Meson de la Flota

A great place to enjoy Spanish tapas and live Flamenco while having great seafood dinner. The prices are reasonable and the sangria and the tapas are mouth watering. At night, the place is live with performances conducted by gifted Flamenco musicians and dancers from renown Cuban Flamenco group.

Mercaderes #257, between Amargura y Brasil (Teniente Rey).Phone: 867-3838

4- La Mina

La Mina is dead in the center of all of the good things in Old Havana. Refreshing meals for $7 to $10 a plate and good, inexpensive cocktails (Mojitos are $2) can be obtained. The restaurant is known for its traditional live music and its outdoor patios, filled with plants and their signature peacocks running around. The restaurant is open every day until a
least 2:00 am.
Calle Obispo #109, corner of Oficios. Phone: 862-0216

5- (La) Taberna de Muralla

Excellent beer is served with burgers and kabobs, cooked on an outdoor grill with their signature side dish of fufú. They have a traditional group playing live traditional Cuban music in the courtyard and, since the restaurant opens out onto the plaza, it can be a fun place to watch the lively foot traffic in the area.

La Muralla and San Ignacio Streets, Plaza Vieja.

Artist Aubrey Mayer Embraces the Camera as a Means to an End

Kat Herriman

Photography by Aubrey Mayer

Henry Taylor in his studio.

Aubrey Mayer picks me up from the Greenport train station and we drive east to Orient, another town on the tip of New York’s tongue. Mayer grew up on the North Fork and he points out landmarks along our route to the house he now shares with his wife, Toby Bannister and their daughter Frida. The early spring coastline passes like a grey blur.

Orient is the constant for Mayer—a place he returned to three years ago to get some space from a decade of New York grind. “I almost didn’t make it out alive,” he says in all seriousness before cracking a smirk.

When we turn into the driveway, a sailboat emerges from the lawn— it belongs to artist John Tremblay. “The only friends that I’ve had in my adult life have been artists or sailors,” says Mayer, explaining that his life and practice are inextricably intertwined.

Aubrey Mayer

Aubrey Mayer’s Christopher Wool : 6-17-10A : Horizontal Contact Sheet (edited), 2017.

Talent Meets Road
Mayer met his first subject, Elizabeth Peyton, through a family friend while home one summer from college. He taught the painter to sail and in exchange she agreed to sit for him. Their first shoot was in front of his parents’ garage in the style of Richard Avedon’s In the American West. “I remember the day and still use the footage,” he says.

The friendship with Peyton led to series of new ones including White Columns Director Matthew Higgs, who published the artist’s book, “6-17- 10A,” a project with Christopher Wool documenting the creation of one of his paintings at his home in Marfa, where the artist lives with his wife Charline von Heyl. “When you get to spend time a lot of time with someone, and you sit back and listen, you reach another level of understanding,” Mayer says. “My time with Christopher and Charline changed me.”

After coming home from Texas, Mayer began printing contact sheets rather than single portraits—a development he connects to Wool’s rigorous painting method. “If you watch someone paint like that, you learn things they don’t teach you in school,” Mayer says, pulling down a book with some of these early contact sheets. Wool is depicted, mask on, in motion.

Life as Form
Thea Westreich, a champion and sometimes subject, describes Mayer’s practice as participatory. “Aubrey is taking the artist portrait and turning it into a formal act,” she says, “It is like he is climbing inside of these people and seeing them as part of a world he wants to occupy, does occupy. The image comes second to process.” Westrich also noted that what separates Mayer’s work from becoming documentarian is the way in which the artist is able to connect with his subject beyond the relationship of photographer and subject.

Mayer’s friendship with Los Angeles-based painter Jonas Wood speaks to the way his sittings often go beyond the scope of the lens. “I asked if I was supposed to do anything in the photos and Aubrey said ‘No, just work and I’ll take pictures of you,’” Wood says of their first session. “I pretty much just worked the whole time, listened to music, smoked weed, painted, drew. I didn’t really think about getting photographed. I think that’s why the pictures come off really organic.”

The admiration goes both ways. Mayer credits Wood for helping him link him into Los Angeles, where he has going for yearly pilgrimages. The first time he visited, Mayer bound every photo from pilot trip into a one- of -a-kind chronology that he printed on vegetable parchment paper and covered in felt. He called it “LA Magical Misery Tour 2012” after Martin Kippenberger’s “Magical Misery Tour.” This is one way Mayer presents his portraits.

Aubrey Mayer’s Kaari Upson 7-1-15 from the LA Magical Misery Tour 2012 series.

Bound Together
The books are a collaboration between the artist and Mayer’s wife, who is a sought-after book binder. Bannister, who cuts and binds books on their kitchen counter, is self-taught and used to work as the head producer at Griffin Editions, the company responsible for Cindy Sherman and Roe Ethridge’s prints. “I see myself as the technician, we are a good match,” she says. “Aubrey has a lot of ideas about how he wants to create something, and I am very good with materials so I am able to construct what he wants. Everything is handmade and that quality really enhances the work.”

The volumes Bannister creates are not your run of the mill monographs. They are tactile and richly detailed. Bannister’s neat stitches provide a contrast to raw edged pages and sometimes heavy felt covers. Sculptural in character, the books hint at the way the artist portrait functions not on only as an image in Mayer’s work, but as a lens for looking at the machinations and values of contemporary art.

Aubrey Mayer’s Torey Thornton : 1-12-16 : Vertical Contact Sheet No.5 (un-edited), 2016.

Mayer’s living room acts as an extended studio. When I visit, contact sheets of Wool, Grotjahn and Torey Thornton are hanging. This is the other way Mayer presents his work. His sequential images connect the dots between art and labor, art and individual.

This summer, visitors to Joel Mesler’s new East Hampton gallery, Rental, will have a chance to see Mayer’s work in person where it will be included in a group show, “Oliver Twist: Chapter 2.” When I visited his studio, the artist was preparing new contact sheets of Raymond Pettibon with Aida Ruilova and Jamian Juliano Villani. I asked him who he was going to shoot next. He told me: “It’s a secret. To do what I do, I need a backstage pass that takes trust.”

A Mother's Love

"She is the very epitome of what I feel a nurse should be: caring and making you feel hopeful."
BY Sherry Hall
PUBLISHED September 08, 2019
My name is Sherry Hall, and I was diagnosed with stage 4 follicular lymphoma in February 2013. At the first cancer facility I was sent to, I did six rounds of R-CHOP chemotherapy, and after a couple of months, I was not getting any better. My cousin had reached out to me when she learned that I had cancer, as did her husband, about the place they were going and the doctor whom they loved. I met with Dr. Scott Tetreault and he got me started on a clinical trial that was great for almost a year. From the moment I walked in the door, the staff were wonderful.

I met Ms. Linda and there was an immediate bond between us. All the nurses are wonderful and caring, but there was something about Ms. Linda that really made me feel like family. She was very attentive to me, as well as to the other patients. She would take her time with each of us, never in a rush, sometimes sharing stories about her life. She always inquired what the doctor had said and was very careful in explaining the medications that I would be receiving; each time she brought one out, she would tell me what it was and how long it would take to receive it. She would ask if I needed a blanket, food or something to drink. She is the very epitome of what I feel a nurse should be: caring and making you feel hopeful. I have never seen her in a bad mood; she’s always been energetic and friendly. She has a very watchful eye, and if something looks amiss, she is right on top of it.

One time, I had a doctor’s appointment and wasn’t sure that I would make it. I didn’t feel strong enough to even walk, but I did make it. The nurses, along with Ms. Linda, gave me antibiotics and fluids and kept watching me carefully. Ms. Linda would come over and just stare at me like she was looking through to my soul. I told her she reminded me of a teacher and me a student unable to lie to her. She simply replied, “That’s a mother’s love.” And that is how she is to all of her patients. There are usually 20-plus patients at a time and she treats us all the same, yet, somehow, she has made me feel very special. She knows all the patients by name and even remembers tidbits of our histories, the stories we have told her and our families.

She has been a nurse for 40 plus years and will be retiring in 2019, and I am going to miss her tremendously. She has had a huge impact on my life. It will not be the same walking in and knowing that she is not going to be my nurse, but I am grateful that I was allowed the opportunity to be treated by this wonderful lady who is always so full of life. If anyone deserves an award for outstanding service in the field of nursing, she certainly should be at the top.
