So, if you've managed to avoid the "Downton Abbey" spoilers being tossed at you like exploding crumpets in a very refined video game, then this almost two-hour premiere was a welcome return to the hallowed halls of the grand estate. The good news? The soapiness of season two seems to have been (judging from this episode) set aside, and the plot seems character driven as opposed to being the fever dream of a crazed "Dallas" fan. Huzzah (clink glasses discreetly with second knife to your left)!
Before we get started, I solemnly vow to you "Downton Abbey" fans — no spoilers. Yes, these are recaps, so by their very nature they spoil the episode if you haven't seen it, but even as I watch ahead of air dates, I won't spill. Why not? Because this season has been halfway ruined for me by two spoilers I ran across, and I know how disappointed I am to know what's ahead — and I won't do the same to you.
So much happened in this opening episode, I'll just break it down by story lines. You can also read Alan's review (again, no spoilers) here.
Sybil and Branson come out for Matthew and Mary's wedding… and Sybil's preggers!
Initially there is much whinging over the fact that Sybil and Branson, too poor as simple commoners to make the trip all the way to Downton from Ireland, will be missing out on Matthew and Mary's wedding. One person who isn't whinging, however, is Lord Grantham, who refuses to send the money for them to make the trip and expressly forbids Cora from doing it, either. Sigh. If you ask me, Robert is just being petty, but he claims he's just ensuring Branson (or Tom, but I'm used to Branson, aren't you?) doesn't stomp around screaming for a free Ireland at the wedding.
Eventually, though, Sybil and Branson show up having received the cash from a mysterious source revealed to be the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith). Surprisingly, she puts family before appearances (at least in this case), and she isn't worried about Branson making a buffoon of himself. "If we can show the county he can behave normally, they will soon lose interest in him. And I will be sure he behaves normally, because I will hold his hand on the radiator until he does," she says in her arch, British way.
We also learn a bit later, when Martha (Shirley Maclaine) pops up, that Sybil is pregnant. And it is never mentioned again. I guess celebrating that sort of thing is horribly gauche. I wonder if Sybil will have to hide under a burka in public until she is deemed so obscenely pregnant (five months or so) that she must be stuck in a coat closet to deliver as quietly as possible.
O'Brien gets her nephew a job, and starts a feud with Thomas in the process
Well, this is just a mess from the jump, but I'm not unhappy to see Thomas and O'Brien flinging barbs at one another as opposed to plotting against innocent victims for once. O'Brien sneakily convinces Cora to hire her nephew Alfred as a footman over Mr. Carson's protests that he has no time for "training young hobbledehoys." But Carson, who blusters and stomps his feet when Alfred makes mistakes, is of no concern. It's when O'Brien asks Thomas to give the kid some pointers on being a stand-in valet for Matthew while he lives at Downton post-nuptials when things really fall apart. Thomas is offended that she'd ask him to give some kid a jump start after he's struggled for years to be a valet, while O'Brien thinks he's being petty. And thus begins a spiral of mean-spirited pranks that starts with Thomas tricking Alfred into burning a hole in Matthew's jacket and O'Brien hiding Robert's dress shirts before a dinner party. It all seems a little childish, but I doubt it will stay that way for long.
Anna and Mr. Bates continue their miserable prison slog
Oh, Anna. When she isn't working, she's dragging herself down to the prison, researching new avenues to prove Mr. Bates' innocence, protesting her love. Meanwhile, when Bates isn't making goo-goo eyes at Anna in the visiting room, he's snarling and growling at his new cell mate. For someone who seemed so Zen while working at Downton Abbey, it's clear that vile people — like Vera, like his cell mate — bring out his bad side. How bad is the question.
Lord Grantham goes broke
The theme of season three is clearly change, as our stodgy Brits get shoved — some willingly, others less so — into the modern age. One inciting factor will likely be that Robert lost almost all of the family money — mostly Cora's — by investing in a railway that's going broke. "I refuse to be the failure, the Earl who dropped the torch and let the flame go out," he says, stomping about his money man's office before going home to, much later, cry a little with Cora. If we ever had any doubt that Cora was worth more than her weight in U.S. dollars (all of which have been wasted at this point), the fact that she doesn't blink at the news Downton will likely have to be sold proves it. "I'm American, have gun will travel," she assures her possibly stupid husband, and it's impossible not to like her even more.
Martha arrives!
Huzzah! Shirley Maclaine finally makes her appearance on "Downton" (and is introduced with a big, bright, "American" musical intro) and while Martha isn't so much a character than a stock plucky American and a plot driver, it's good to see the old gal nonetheless. Watching her trade barbs with Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess is simply fun. Cora's mom comes to visit, of course, at an opportune time — with Downton circling the drain, both Mary and the Dowager Countess smell money. Too bad that once they finally get up the nerve to ask for it, Martha has to tell them it's locked up tightly. Her husband felt he'd given quite enough to Downton before he died, and Martha can't touch the principal. It's just another opportunity for Martha to irritate the crap out of her veddy proper English family members. They might not be sad to see her go, but I will be. Oh, best thing about Martha? She wants goat's milk, boiled water, no fats, no crab and nothing from the marrow family. She'd fit in perfectly in L.A.
Edith will not give up on Sir Anthony, dammit
Poor Edith. She finally convinces Sir Anthony to like her again (though he can't stop reminding us he's old and has a bad arm), and her British grandma (the Dowager Countess) has to go and convince Robert to break them up. Finally, American grandma (Martha) steps in, chides Robert for allowing his daughter to be lonely and sad, and urges him to get the two of them back together. Just like that, Edith and Sir Anthony are on the road to marriage. Could Edith really be getting a happy ending? Crazy!
Matthew continues to be annoying
Yes, Matthew is very noble and good-hearted and much like a prince in a Disney movie except for the weak chin, but man, is he annoying. He wouldn't leave Lavinia for Mary for the longest time because he had a bloated sense of both honor and ego, but now Lavinia is back (in a sense) to further screw things up between Mary and Matthew. Reggie Swire, Lavina's dad, has left a list of heirs following his death, seemingly to make this particular plot line far more complex and drawn out than it needs to be. The first two are believed to be dead, so that means all of it goes to Matthew. But Matthew can't accept! Sure, it could save Downton, but Reggie willed him that money because he believed he loved Lavinia! And he broke her heart! I don't think she actually died of a broken heart. It was the damn flu, Matthew. Anyway, Mary is rightly pissed, and almost cancels the wedding, but relents because he's just so fabulous from the chin up. Or she's getting old. Or something.
Mrs. Hughes finds a lump
It's an interesting twist for Mrs. Hughes to have to turn to high strung, flappy Mrs. Patmore for help after she finds a lump in her breast. I guess she has to take what she can get, and she can't really turn to the one person who would actually be helpful — Mr. Carson. Mrs. Hughes can't (really, won't) tell Mr. Carson about what's going on, won't let her work load be affected, won't suffer Mrs. Patmore's well-intended reassurances, but I wish she would. I am worried for Mrs. Hughes, and I wish she'd take a nap.
The Grays come to visit and Larry makes a mess of everything
The Grays come over for dinner after Sybil and Branson arrive, and Larry thinks it would be such a lark to put something in Branson's drink so that he (sort of) drunkenly pounds the table and demands freedom for Ireland during dinner. Sir Anthony, who saw Larry slip the unnamed substance in Branson's drink, calls him out on it, Larry's dad chastises him, and everyone promises to forgive Branson his behavior. Well, I guess the show's writers get tired of writing boring dinner party scenes, too. As Branson is taken away, Matthew announces he'd like him to be his best man, a move that's noble (that Matthew, always noble!) and will later soften up Branson to put on fancy dress. We also now know that Branson and Larry are not going to be friends, like, ever.
A love triangle pops up around Alfred for some reason
Daisy, who doesn't have a lot to work with down in the kitchen as far as crush fodder, takes an immediate liking to Alfred because he's male. But Reed, Martha's lady maid, also takes a shine to him. And she kisses him, unprompted, and Alfred rather likes this frisky American. Daisy is disappointed. Poor Daisy.
Mrs. Crawley is helping prostitutes — and Ethel returns
I suspect this storyline will be returning quite soon, so I have to add it to this tremendously long round-up. Mrs. Crawley, who is just so very bored and has to save the world if at all possible, decides to help women in distress, i.e. prostitutes. And who should stop by but Ethel! You remember Ethel. She was the maid who had an attitude and screwed around with the officer and got pregnant and got fired and his family wouldn't acknowledge her and OMG, she had a bad old spiral going. Anyway, Ethel pops in, Mrs. Crawley recognizes her, and Ethel flees lie a frightened squirrel. She'll be back.
Hard to believe, but a lot more happened than what I can cover here. Pithy lines were delivered, meaningful looks were exchanged, minor scandals bubbled up. There isn't much room for analysis, I'm afraid, but next week, I look forward to getting under the surface of these buttoned-up (and sometimes unbuttoned) Brits.
Who were you most excited to see? Which storyline are you looking forward to most? Did you enjoy the wedding-free wedding episode?

Most of the organizations are realizing the importance of feedback in their working space. They have realised that they can grow only if they would get to know about where they lack and what has to be done for the growth. When it comes to feedback, it is not just about the organization but about the individuals too working on different designations in the organizations.
There are different methods like 360 degree feedback that help the organizations in getting the feedbacks about the entire organization or employees. It is a concept related to development that is based on getting feedback from diverse types of sources. As feedback is fetched from a variety of standpoints, it is even known as multi-rating feedback or assessment.
The respondents can be people like:
- customers, suppliers, clients, venders, etc.
- subordinates and juniors
- team heads, supervisors or managers
- colleagues, peers
- human resource department
The people do share about the calibre, performance and attitude of the individual. For example, if you are taking feedback about a manager, all the people involved as a respondent share their ideas and viewpoints about the person in a secret manner. It means nobody gets to know who wrote what about the professional. In this way, there remains frankness and absence of fear. Professionals get accessed in the most appropriate manner. The subordinates and colleagues keep their views without any fear because whatever they share is not told to anybody.
The attributes of 360 feedbacks
There are different attributes of this system and a few of them are as under:
– Foremost one can be assessment. It is the survey tool that is used wherein Respondents provides feedback regarding a specific leader on the basis of valuation. Next is the area of feedback. Direct reports are gathered from the feedback catered by the respondents. It should include a session for leaders to assess the information with the manager, their supervisor and a mentor.
– A training program is also involved in this procedure. A long term program is implemented so as to enhance your leaders. Such training is to clear the weaknesses and focus on the strengths that are revealed through the assessment.
The concept of feedback is in the air and more and more companies are using it. The idea is to know about the overall development of the organization and take the needed precautions and steps.
This concept of feedback is really effective and game changing for people because they turn out to be more aware. When other people give a feedback, an individual gets a full view of themselves. Such an opinion is less prone to getting one-sided and incomplete. Mostly, as people from different zones do give the feedback, there are slightest chances of partiality.
Whether manager, team head, colleague or any other professional working in the organization, they get to know about what they lack at and what their strong points are. When they get to know that they are praised for their specific tasks, they get motivated to do even better. Their morale goes high and similarly, when they hear that they lack somewhere, certainly it pains but if they are really determined, they take it as a challenge and improve their shallow parts. In this way, there remains awareness of what they are and where they are heading to. Of course, what is the point if you are doing a task and you have no clue how good or not good you are? When you have a feedback system installed in your business, you get the best clarity about your performance. Since the feedback given by the people isanonymous, there does not arise any type of conflicts too.
A 360 feedback is a powerful tool for showcasing strengths and weaknesses of leaders. Conventionally, the employees used to get feedback from just their manager that used to generate a one-dimensional viewpoint. But in the realm of this concept of feedback, since various sources of feedback are engaged, the feedback is multi-dimensional. A main aim of 360 feedbacks is for the blind spots to be exposed in a professional way. Once the weak areas are exposed, professionals can work on their weaknesses.
Similarly, to expose the unknown strengths can also turn out to be really advantageous to both the leader and the business. The crux of the matter is that a head or leader is ignorant of their hidden assets and they need to be brought to light in a determinative manner. When the strengths of an individual come to light, they become even more passionate about their work. Certainly, if you are a manager and you have no clue how good you are at something and someone tells you that you do something really amazingly, that would be great news for you right?
High confidence
When people know that they have got a good feedback, they become more confident about their ways and manners. Their confidence reflects in their actions and they end up with the best outcomes. Of course, confidence is a thing that cannot be fetched easily. Once your employees gain confidence and their morale goes high because of the good feedback, it all end up in the best outcomes of the organizations.
The point is that today nobody praises anyone. Feedback is a good thing to bring that positivity in the working space. Being the supervisor or head of departments, you can make sure that the feedback helps the departments to grow and the organization to touch new heights.
Better supervision
When the authorities, department heads and supervisors get to know about the feedback about their department or their subordinates, they can make their strategies accordingly. The point is, once they know what is not liked by the audience, clients or other people; they can look for a solution. Feedback is a good way to know about the pockets of your organizations where you lack and then work on them in the best interest.
Thus, the point is to be judicious about the procedures, actions, decisions and methods you use in your organization. The concept of 360 Feedback is worth having if you really want to grow in a realistic manner.October 9, 2018

Replication data for: A Century of Work and Leisure

AbstractWe develop comprehensive measures of time spent in market work, home production, schooling, and leisure in the United States for the last 106 years. We find that hours of work for prime age individuals are essentially unchanged, with the rise in women's hours fully compensating for the decline in men's hours. Hours worked by those 14 to 24 years old have declined noticeably, but most of this decline was offset by a rise in hours spent in school. Overall, per capita leisure and average annual lifetime leisure increased by only four or five hours per week during the last 100 years. (JEL D13, J16, J22)

Employers in Delaware, Florida, New York, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. have settled lawsuits with the EEOC.
The EEOC has announced settlements with unrelated employers in Delaware, Florida, New York, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., for violations of the Title VII religious bias, sexual harassment, and pregnancy discrimination provisions, as well as the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The five employers will pay a total of $682,586 in damages.
Forced to work on Sabbath. To settle a Title VII religious bias lawsuit brought by the federal agency, Century Park Associates, LLC, dba Garden Plaza at Greenbriar Cove, has agreed to pay $92,586 in damages. According to the suit, Century required two employees working at a senior and assisted living community in Ooltewah, Tennessee, to work on their Sabbath in violation of their religious beliefs. The two employees, members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, observe the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Although the employees offered to work on Sundays, Century told the employees they had to agree to work on Saturdays as part of a new work schedule. When the two employees refused to work on Saturdays due to their religious beliefs, Century asked them to resign, and they complied.
Century entered into a two-year consent decree requiring the company to train its employees, including HR and management personnel, on Title VII requirements of Title VII. Century also agreed to report complaints of religious discrimination and requests for religious accommodations to the EEOC and permit the agency to monitor compliance with the decree.
The EEOC brought its lawsuit in the Eastern District of Tennessee, Southern Division; the case is No. 1:17-cv-00231.
Sexual harassment suit settled. 82-10 Baxter Ave. Food Corp., dba Foodtown, will pay $285,000 to settle a Title VII sexual harassment lawsuit brought by the federal agency. According to the lawsuit, a department manager of the Elmhurst, New York, supermarket physically and verbally sexually harassed two female workers under his supervision at the facility, then fired them because they resisted his advances. The harassment included comments about their appearance, propositions for sex, forced kissing, and other unwanted touching.
In addition to the monetary relief, the company will adopt new policies and procedures, in both English and Spanish, to prevent and report sexual harassment and will train managers and staff on identifying and preventing sexual harassment and retaliation. Foodtown also will investigate any complaints of sexual harassment and provide copies of its investigations to the EEOC. The EEOC will monitor the company's compliance with these obligations for the next three years.
The EEOC filed its lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York; the case is No. 18-cv-05100.
Pregnant employee forced to take unpaid leave. U.S. military contractors Day & Zimmermann Group, Inc., and Sunrise Beach Corporation, dba M2 Services Corporation, have agreed to pay $125,000 to settle a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit. The EEOC charged that the companies violated Title VII and the PDA by forcing a pregnant employee to take an unpaid leave of absence upon learning that she was pregnant, and ultimately firing her because of her pregnancy.
According to the lawsuit, the M2 employee was an aircraft worker cleaner, responsible for cleaning aircraft parts. After an employee advised M2 that she was pregnant, M2 placed her on involuntary and unpaid leave, claiming that she needed to obtain medical authorization before returning to work. Even after her medical provider cleared her, M2 refused to allow her to return to work and ultimately fired her, the federal agency said.
In addition to settlement, M2 is required to create and implement a pregnancy nondiscrimination policy and annual mandatory training for all managers and staff by a subject matter expert approved by the agency. Both the policy and training will address discrimination based on unreasonable notions, assumptions and/or stereotypes about pregnant women. M2 must also post a notice referencing this lawsuit and consent decree, advising employees of their rights. Additionally, M2 will provide a job reference for the former employee.
The EEOC filed its lawsuit in the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division; the case is No. 3:19-cv-127-J39-MCR.
No reasonable accommodation for deaf employees. Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, will pay $100,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the EEOC. The suit charged that the retailer violated the ADA by refusing to provide communications accommodations, such as access to sign language interpreters and closed-captioning training videos, to two deaf employees who worked at a store in Washington, D.C.
The two-year consent decree enjoins the Wal-Mart store from violating the ADA, including engaging in unlawful retaliation. The store also will revise its reasonable accommodations management guidelines; provide live training to management employees on the ADA's requirements; address issues related to deaf or hard-of-hearing persons; and provide training to all nonmanagement employees on the ADA and the process for requesting a reasonable accommodation. Finally, the store will post a notice about the settlement and report to the EEOC about its compliance with the consent decree.
The EEOC brought its suit in the District of Columbia; the case is No. 1:18-cv-2799.
Employee fired for perceived disability. SoftPro, a Delaware software company, will pay $80,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the federal agency. According to the suit, a SoftPro employee had a record of an opiate addiction and had participated in physician-supervised medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for the addiction since 2009. In 2017, the employee took leave from SoftPro to voluntarily admit himself to an inpatient treatment facility to eliminate the need for MAT. After successfully completing the program and returning to work, the employee was fired after SoftPro learned about his participation in the treatment program. The EEOC charged that SoftPro violated the ADA because it perceived the employee as disabled.
In addition to the monetary relief, SoftPro must revise, implement and distribute personnel policies to state that the company does not exclude employees based on their participation in a MAT program. The company also must provide annual training to its HR team, managers, supervisors, and employees; post a notice to employees relating to the settlement; and report to the EEOC all negative employment actions the company takes against employees who have a record of substance abuse disorder or who are currently participating in, or have successfully completed, a drug rehabilitation program.
The EEOC filed its suit in the Eastern District of North Carolina, Western Division; the case is No. 5:18-cv-00463.

Sustainability Strategy is pushing beyond Corporate Social Responsibility, with a vision for business leadership in sustainability and a pathway for creation of investment value that drives efficiency and productivity with tangible outcomes.
In this article by LVP, we look at the challenges facing businesses, what are some of the gaps in sustainability approach and the start of strategic engagement for business leaders on this topic.
Futurist patterns and current market behaviour indicate key competitive pressure points, where the challenges facing businesses requires a shift in approach outside of traditional business models.
Strategic engagement through Sustainability (ESS) is an opportunity for growth moving outside of traditional models, where the key outcomes include risk minimisation, investment value and demonstrable smart outcomes in productivity and efficiency.
It is time for businesses to catch up with the way great companies operate and see their role today, in a way that creates economically sound approaches whilst having a positive influence and impact in engaging stakeholders and government.
The challenges facing businesses
Businesses today face a challenging landscape of balancing market competitiveness with innovation and investment value. Through our research and experiences, some of the main challenges facing businesses in tackling environmental and social issues strategically, include:
1. Businesses are being called to be leaders beyond, Corporate Social Responsibility, demonstrating vision beyond providing charitable support to social causes (only) for brand value. The reality is, social and environmental issues are intrinsically linked. Whilst businesses are not exclusively responsible for the causes and outcomes to social and environmental impacts, the business community is certainly part of the conversation and needs to be part of the solution. Strategically for businesses, pushing out beyond CSR, increasing efficiency and productivity to deliver tangible results to the business, shareholders and stakeholders is an untapped opportunity to be innovatively competitive.
2. Increasing macro economic shifts forcing change. We are seeing a demonstrable long-term and lasting shift in market power, with increasing macro economic shifts requiring traditional business models to change. With an increasingly globally interdependent market, expectations are high, resources need to be well managed and competitive pressures are forcing key industries to adapt and adjust business models to be agile, responsive and more productive. In Australia, for example industries across mining, oil and gas, aviation and retail are being forced to adapt their business models in response to global competition.
3. Increase in stakeholder power. Multi-stakeholder groups are informed and active, with strong protest against proposed projects and / or boycott of companies due to their negative impacts. This is now much more prevalent through accessible knowledge and news and the use of social media. Increasing stakeholder power is instrumental as to why businesses need to engage in conversations around social and environmental issues. Though it's not economically viable to entirely cease projects, particularly when open engagement with stakeholders, including governments, can actively reduce risk and create positive engagement.
4. Increasingly, governments are engaging in policy creation for sustainability issues. Governments are legislating in emerging countries where companies are required to minimise environmental and social issues and risks whilst demonstrating how profits from significant projects will be reinvested in local communities, in order to gain license to operate. The Obama Administration is leading the way in the Western community with the Clean Air Act, an unprecedented clean energy economy approach to fight climate change whilst providing reliable and affordable energy sources.
Both stakeholders and government policy intervention, is shaping the business requirement to be transparent in their activity and ensure that investment and or impact is positive, strategic, measured and delivers value.
Realisation of gaps for businesses in sustainability implementation
Through our project delivery experiences and discussions with companies, some key gaps remain for businesses and how they can bring about strategic engagement in sustainability. Some of these gaps include:
1. Existing confusion in standards application. Confusion exists around governance standards application and how to integrate and apply them strategically outside of silo'ed management systems in order to provide tangible and sustainable outcomes.
2. Disconnect between leadership and operations. We also see disconnects between leadership and operations where the lines of accountability, communication and operational activity are blurred in strategic intent and organisational silos. At times, sustainability managers are actively employed and driving sustainability culture across the organisation, but in isolation from the leadership team and true accountability.
3. Not sure how to go about it. In many cases we see companies and their leadership teams demonstrate a desire and understanding of what needs to be done, though they are not sure how to go about it or where to start.
4. Look at "Environmental" and "Social" as isolated elements. The most concerning gap, "Environmental" and "Social" aspects of strategy and operational activity, are considered as isolated elements. The most frustrating part of this, is outstanding work is being done in both "environmental" and "social" spheres, but in isolation. Environmental and Social elements are infrequently interlinked and integrated as part of strategic intent and applied to everyday operational activity to create efficiency and productivity. Some of the integrations we look for is how to go about optimising supply chain for ethics and productivity maximisation or leveraging human capital and key stakeholder groups to create innovation capacity.
More work needs to be done to strategically engage both internal and key external stakeholder groups, and interlink environmental and social aspects of business activity, as a whole system.
Strategic engagement thorough Environmental Social Sustainability
Strategic engagement enables a whole system integration approach to the environmental and social challenges facing businesses. Environmental Social Sustainability is about creating innovation and investment value. This is achieved through:
- Risk minimization to people, environment and systems; and
- How businesses demonstrate smart outcomes towards efficiency, productivity with sustainable outcomes.
This is where true investment value exists for businesses.
It is achievable through:
- Business leadership and strategic engagement of stakeholders; and
- Using a methodology towards Environmental Social Sustainability, to create a pathway for strategy creation and operational implementation of tangible outcomes.
Some of the demonstrable long-term benefits of the Environmental Social Sustainability approach include:
- Leveraging alternative business models in response to challenges facing businesses
- Reduction in waste, negative impacts, risk, reputational damage to demonstrate environmental social leadership
- Creating social, environmental and economic benefit to the business and community
- Realising efficiencies and productivity through environmental, social and stakeholder process improvement and redesign, creating sustainable evolution and development.
Some of the challenges facing businesses today and in the future, requires a shift in approach outside of traditional business models. Strategic engagement is an opportunity for growth moving outside of those traditional business models in a way that is engaging of stakeholders and creates positive benefits beyond purely social outcomes. Where businesses can create sustainable investment value through risk minimisation, and demonstrable smart outcomes in productivity, efficiency and sustainable outcomes.
It is important to all of us, because of how it impacts on board decisions and strategy; how the strategy then integrates into operations; how both then engage stakeholders; and how it can influence the governance agenda.
All possible by looking at business models and strategy through a different lens, remaining competitive, with an appetite for adaptability.

Merlin's Boiler with videos in addition to game content as we continue to appear before you in a different style. in this context, recently we've started a new video series. This is our new video series in the name of fun memories of the most important names in the industry, as the name implies, they are fun and unforgettable memories we refer to.
Accelerated Danube (Pintipa) was our guest

As fodder and pasture continue to decline and the dry season soldiers on, over 30 000 drought-related cattle deaths were recorded in Namibia between October 2018 and April 2019 – the normal rainfall season.
Rains were delayed and erratic, resulting in reduced area planted, poor germination and wilting of crops. Poor grazing and water conditions also affected livestock production.
Namibia, Angola and Botswana declared national drought emergencies.
Other countries affected by localised dry spells and drought included eSwatini, Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania. The drought has affected water supplies for domestic, industrial and agricultural use.
This is according to the July 2019 Synthesis Report on the State of Food and Nutrition Security and Vulnerability in Southern Africa compiled by the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) Secretariat's regional vulnerability assessment and analysis programme, under the leadership of the food, agriculture and natural resources directorate and the disaster risk reduction unit.
The report highlights to cope, the selling of livestock – a livelihood asset – is likely to increase.
However, oversupply will reduce livestock prices and hence income earned. "Overall purchasing power will deteriorate with below average incomes, decreased casual labour opportunities in the agriculture sector, and increasing staple food prices," the report stated.
It is recommended that governments and partners urgently assist food insecure populations with food and or cash-based transfers, adding emergency livestock supplementary feeding is also critical to save breeding herds.
Further, transboundary pests and diseases of crops and livestock require close monitoring.
It is also suggested emergency establishment or rehabilitation of community watering points for livestock and crops should be prioritised.
Most cropping is practiced during the November to April rainfall season, with the rest of the year being dry.
A strong drought affected central and western parts of the region during the 2018/19 rainfall season.
The report shows large parts of southern Angola, northern and southern Botswana, northern Namibia, north-western South Africa, southern and western Zambia, and north-western Zimbabwe received their lowest seasonal rainfall totals since at least 1981, when regional, comparable records began.
The severe El Niño-induced drought of 2015/2016 had primarily affected the south-central and east-central parts of the region.
Equally, the report indicates that Namibia's key drivers of vulnerability include prolonged drought, traditional agricultural practices, and low economic performance (lack of sustainable incomes and high unemployment).
The country's preliminary figures indicate that cereal production is 53 percent lower than the previous year and 42 percent lower than the 20-year average. According to the consolidated approach for reporting food insecurity indicators approach, 36 percent of the population is food insecure (21 percent moderately and 15 percent severely food insecure.
"This totals 289,644 people severely food insecure and requiring humanitarian assistance. Increasing food prices will further limit access. Over the short term, supplementary fortified food should be provided to improve the intake of micronutrients," the report states.
Further, an estimated 41.2 million people in 13 Sadc member states are food insecure this year.
When comparing the 11 member states that provided data in 2018, food insecurity increased by 28 percent. It is also 7.4 percent higher than it was during the severe El Niño-induced drought of 2016/17.
Significant increases in the number of people food insecure have been recorded in Zambia (144 percent), Zimbabwe (128 percent), eSwatini (90 percent), Mozambique (85 percent) and DRC (80 percent).

text: Some of my favorite childhood memories were of being at my Aunt Zula's house. There was always so much laughter and fun. I was able to spend a couple of hours with her 2 weeks before she passed. I held her hand and talked with her a bit. I'm so thankful for that time. She truly was a gentle soul and she will be missed by all.

It's thanks time again and people often ask, "What are you thankful for?"
I'd like to ask a few questions of my own.
- Do you have to plan your response to the yearly question because you really haven't given much thought to being thankful throughout the year?
- Can you feel your gratitude, or is it automatic and surface? Do you just move on from it or does it actually impact your life?
- What have you been thankful for this year, really and truly?
- Did you thank all the people who contributed positively to your life this year?
- What did you miss the opportunity to be thankful for?
- Why did you miss it? Did you hesitate? Were you too busy? Did you just take it for granted?
Take a minute to really think about these questions now, then if and when you are asked, give an authentic answer.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Warriors will be strengthened by the return of Wayne Parnell, Jaques Kallis and Mark Boucher to their squad ahead of the domestic Pro20 Final against Highveld Lions at Port Elizabeth on Friday.
Kallis and Boucher have both recovered from minor injuries picked up during South Africa's tour of India. Boucher suffered a back spasm which ruled him out of the second Test and Kallis suffered a hamstring strain in the course of his unbeaten century in the final ODI.
While neither have featured in the Warriors' Pro20 campaign due to their national commitments, Kallis played a vital role in the team's victories in the MTN40 semi-final and final, scoring an unbeaten 73 in the nine-run win over the Cape Cobras and following that up with 87 not out in the final.
Several members of the South African squad suffered injuries on their trip to India, with JP Duminy splitting the webbing in his hand during the defeat at Gwalior in the second one-day game, and captain Graeme Smith fracturing a finger in fielding practice before the second Test. Their participation in the opening games of the Indian Premier League, which starts on March 12, is yet to be confirmed.
Albie Morkel has recovered from his ankle injury, but Roelof van der Merwe is still nursing a hamstring niggle.

Research Interests:
My research focuses on what sign languages can reveal about the nature of human language, cognition, and the brain. My lab studies the processes involved in how deaf people produce and comprehend sign language and how these processes are represented in the brain. We also investigate how experience with a signed language impacts nonlinguistic visual-spatial cognition, such as face processing, memory, and imagery. My research interests include how language modality impacts spatial language (talking about space), the linguistic functions of eye gaze in sign language, and the nature of bimodal bilingualism (ASL-English bilinguals). My investigations of the neural correlates of language and nonlinguistic cognitive functions draw on data from neuroimaging (fMRI and PET) and from patients who have suffered unilateral brain damage.

More than 1,600 Ontarians are living on hope, anxiously waiting for a life-saving transplant of a heart, lung, liver or other major organ. For many, the kindness of strangers is a matter of life and death. Yet even more people rely on donors to save their sight, to replace heart valves, to heal burns, and to repair hips and other joints.
Like organ donation, tissue donation is a powerful act of generosity that can help the blind to see and the lame to walk again.
A single donor can save as many as eight lives by donating organs, and help make up to 75 lives whole again by donating tissue. But as the Star's Michael Robinson reports, the Trillium Gift of Life Network is forced to import tissue to meet the need because just 27 per cent of eligible Ontarians, 3.3 million, are registered donors.
In Toronto, the donor registration rate is 18 per cent, one of the lowest in the province. Other big cities, including Ottawa, Hamilton and London, donate at roughly twice that rate.
We can do better. A lot better. It begins by registering to be an organ and tissue donor at beadonor.ca or with Service Ontario online or when renewing a driver's licence or health card. It's a confidential, easy, hassle-free process. And let's urge family and friends to register. There's no greater gift.

ZeniMax has now an injunction against Oculus to cease using unauthorised copyright code.
According to Reuters, on Thursday papers were filed seeking an injunction against Oculus at the same court where the initial case was heard. ZeniMax won that case and was awarded $500 million.
Oculus has commented on this latest filing and said they were "continuing with its plan to ask the judge to set aside the verdict" and that the case was "legally flawed and factually unwarranted."
Should this new filing go through, it will affect games created for the Oculus Rift in which the unauthorised code has been used. According to IP lawyer Mark Romeo, if this injunction was granted it would place an "incredible amount of pressure on Facebook to enter into some sort of settlement."
Much of the initial case surrounded John Carmack's correspondence while at ZeniMax prior to moving to Oculus. Carmack was not pleased with the result of the case.
Following the results of the initial case, it was expected that ZeniMax would file this injunction. They had stated they would, "consider what further steps we need to take to ensure there will be no ongoing use of our misappropriated technology".
Oculus will have to find a solution to this problem, it could seriously affect their business and owners of the Rift.

Here are some ways for you to make it easier to add vocabulary, especially for those of you who are beginners, before taking various tests such as TOELF, IELTS, b1 test booking, a2 english test, and others https://britishlifeskills.com/book-exam/.
1. How to Add English Vocabulary by Focusing on Topics That Are of Interest to You
Determine the topic according to your interests. It's best to focus on one or two topics first. Then search for English literature on that topic, which can be books, films, magazines, articles on the internet, videos, podcasts & other audio. Now it's time to read & listen (Reading & Listening). This activity must be fun because it deals with your favourite topic.
2. Following the Quiz is One Way to Add English Vocabulary.
Where can we find an English quiz? There are many sites on the internet providing English quizzes such as Merriam-Webster, Vocabulary.com, Vocab test, Cambridge-Dictionary, and many more. If possible, do the same quiz over and over again so that you can remember new vocabulary. Initially, this method might be rather difficult. Take it slow & don't be frustrated!
3. Post-It Notes may help remember new vocabulary. Place or Paste the Area You Often See.
Post-It is usually used as a reminder of a task or work deadline. Many office workers take advantage of this small, low adhesion paper. When learning English, you can also use it to remember new vocabulary. This method is very effective you know.
4. Repeat, Repeat and Repeat. One Day This Way Will Take You To A Proficiency.
Tips for adding to the latest English vocabulary and most determining skills are repeating. What was repeated? Read & re-understand all Vocabulary lists in the Vocabulary Book.
Repeat all word lists? All? Yes, everyone. From the first Vocabulary to the last. This method will not be an obstacle if you truly understand every word you write in the Vocabulary Book. As much as adding new vocabulary, it will take a little time to remember. Repeat activities are like a review, such as Deuteronomy at school.
That is why you must understand the meaning of the new Vocabulary. If you just add words to the Vocabulary Book, a great difficulty is waiting at this final stage. Don't you want to relax at the beginning then end with beard fire? If you keep this up, skills will stay away. Gosh!
Many students feel rather lazy to do repetition. Some reasons came out like tired, already understood the meaning of the word, lack of time, too much vocabulary, etc. Just do it & ignore these reasons. If you consistently do so, your fatigue and sacrifice certainly pay off with pride because of the vocabulary increases. The level of English has also increased. Every consistent effort is certainly beautiful in its time.

Two hundred years ago, the settlers of the west side of Seneca Lake and the east of Keuka Lake had grown beyond the simple needs of frontiersmen and women. Members of the Society of Universal Friends, their needs were now the needs of an organized community requiring its own government.
In 1818 the new Town of Milo was set off from Benton, comprising 36 square miles bordered by those two lakes and including all of the Keuka Lake Outlet at the time. The first town meeting was held Tuesday, April 7, 1818 at Nichols Corners, now called Milo Center, at the house of Isaac Nichols.
In honor of that history, the Milo Town Board has issued a proclamation designating April 7, 2018 as "a day of recognition and celebration." In addition, rather than confining their recognition to that one day, Supervisor Leslie Church announced the board members will be researching and then presenting parts of Milo's remarkable history at each of the remaining Town Board meetings throughout 2018 to keep such memories alive.
The Town of Milo has the largest population in Yates County at over 7,000 people and includes most of the village of Penn Yan in addition to smaller hamlets with their own identities.
Occupying 48 square miles, it borders Benton, Torrey, Jerusalem, Barrington and Starkey.
Followers of the Universal Friend, Jemima Wilkinson, played an important role in the history of Milo, where the Keuka Outlet powered the birth of industry in the area.
As land became available following the Revolutionary War, early settlers from Pennsylvania and New England migrated to Milo.
Richard Smith left his wife and children in Groton, Conn. to follow the spiritual callings of the Friend and her Society in the late 1780s. He and two partners built the first mill west of Seneca Lake at what is now called the Seneca Millsite.
According to Lewis Cass Aldrich's history of Yates County, the first deed in the area that became the town of Milo was dated Jan. 16, 1789.
The first wood frame house in Penn Yan was built by Abraham Wagener in 1800.
Much of the development that followed occurred along the Keuka Outlet as water-powered mills processed locally grown raw materials: corn, wheat, timber, flaxseed and wool.
As advances in transportation, including the Crooked Lake Canal followed by Fall Brook Railway, took place in the 1800s, Penn Yan and the area continued to prosper.
Colorful characters and influential leaders grace the history of the town. Jimmy Cole, whose circus was based near Mays Mills and Daisy Marquis Jones, whose estate funds a foundation that supports medical and community projects, were both residents of Milo.
In 1851, the town of Torrey, Yates County's youngest town, was formed from portions of Milo and Benton.
Milo Government
The first town officers elected at that first town meeting in 1818 were: Avery Smith, supervisor; Charles Roberts, town clerk; George I. Remer, collector; Benedict Robinson, George Nichols, and George Youns, assessors; Richard Henderson and Roger Sutherland, overseers of the poor, Isaac Hedges, David Briggs, and Solomon Finch, commissioners of highways; Isaac Nichols, Thomas Hathaway, and Allen Vorce, school commissioners; Samuel Henderson, Joel Gillette, John Randolph, James N. Edmondson, Peter Young, and Luther Sisson, school inspectors; George I. Remer, Stephen Youngs, David J. Bennett, and Walter Wolcott, constables.
Current Town officials are: Supervisor Leslie Church; Town Council members Dale Hallings (Deputy Supervisor), Arden Sorensen Jr., Gene Spanneut, and Jim Harris; Town Clerk/Tax Collector, Pat Christensen; Highway Superintendent, Lance Yonge; Code Enforcement Officer, Anthony Validzic; Assessor, Patrick Grimaldi; Justice, Michael Christensen; Historian, Frances Dumas.

Title: Scarred By Love
Author: CA Harms

Riley thought she was in love. She thought she found the perfect guy until his aggressive behavior became too much to handle and she ran.
Becoming withdrawn from the world and hiding from the chance of loving again. Having four older brothers and a determined best friend she had no choice but to stand strong.
Over time Riley was able to open up once again. She had no idea that the one person she needed was right under her nose.
She was guarded and hesitant when it came to bad boys...after all it was a bad boy that shattered her once before.
Zander wanted the girl from the party. He wanted to be near her even though she continued to push him away. He couldn't let go of the gorgeous girl with those stormy eyes.
They both had secrets they kept hidden from one another. They found it easier to talk to others than to confide in each other. Riley begins to realize Zander isn't who she thought he was and falling for the sexy voiced Lead Singer/Guitar player may be just what she needs.
They struggle through hard times and learn to trust again. But will the love that grows be enough to hold them together or will the heartache they suffer drive a wedge between them forever.
My Review
Scarred by Love is the opening book in C.A Harms new series, and holy crap does this series start with a bang. This book was amazaballs!! I loved every minute of it and it had me from the first page. We are introduced to the Parks family and their close group of friends. This book centralises around Riley the only girl out of 5 kids. She is a wonderfully well rounded character that can be soft and girly or rough and tough. And Zander, the only question I have about him is where the hell can I find a Zander?? I loved the writing style in this book, Miss.Harms gives us both points of views throughout the entire book, which gives us the chance to see how each are dealing with life.
Riley is introduced to us in one of the worst scenarios you can imagine, she is in an abusive relationship and is in the middle of one of a beating from her drunken boyfriend Parker. After he stops she makes the courageous choice to leave. She runs to her brothers and they all surround her with support and love, along with one brother laying a beat down on Parker. Riley hides away ashamed that she let the destructive relationship go as long as she did. But months later she decides to own her life again. She moves in with her best friend Kate, who by the way I loved her too. She is the friend we all have or are to someone.
One night they go out with Riley's brothers to a party and that is where she meets Zander. Zander is instantly intrigued by Riley, he goes to make the moves on her and can't believe when she brushes him off. Then with some serious misunderstanding about his friendship with his best friend Beth, Riley writes him right off. But then Beth comes to the rescue and explains that she and Zander are just friends.
When Riley is invited to the bar to watch Zander's band preform, it is fireworks from the word go. Holy hell these two are hot together. But Zander is also trying to heal from his own loss. He lost his mom to cancer and is still carrying the burden of being the product of an affair. I love Zander so much he is an amazing man. Even though he has his moments of stupidity, he more than makes up for it with the way he loves Riley wholly and without question.
Riley and Zander's relationship is put through many tests and angry words. They had me crying and yelling at my kindle over and over again. But the love and uber heat these to bring was totally worth the emotional rollercoaster I went through.
Along the way we are introduced to all Riley's brothers and Kate even begins to date one of them Carson. Their story is in the next book of this series and holy crap if I thought I was emotionally drained from Riley and Zander, Kate and Carson took me to a whole new level of a thrill ride.

Kate thought she and Carson had finally reached level ground. They had moved in together and were preparing for the arrival of their baby.
She never thought they would only be driven further apart by his withdrawn and distant behavior.
Carson had always had his freedom, and for a moment, he thought he could still live that life.
Only Kate needs more. She can no longer pretend that what he's willing to offer is enough.
By the time Carson finally realizes that Kate deserves a better life than he's been giving her, it may be too late.
He may have finally pushed her away to the point of no return…
My Review
The second book in this series is Broken by Love, here we meet up with a very pregnant Kate and a disconnected Carson. We saw the way Carson was in the first book but he takes it to a whole new extreme in this book. The love that Kate felt from him is now gone, it forces Kate to make the decision to leave Carson. She moves back in with the happy couple Zander and Riley.
I was so heartbroken for her and wanted to junk punch Carson. But with her leaving him it makes Carson realizes the flaw in his ways. Carson makes it his goal to show Kate how much he loves her and wants her in his life with their baby. Now I will say as mad as I was at Carson he totally redeemed himself. Like I'm talking making your knees weak and saying the things every woman wants to hear.
Kate is gun shy though and just doesn't think love is enough sometimes. But really who could resist Carson once he decides to get his head out of his ass? Through shear will and love these two come back together and it is beautiful. I admit I got choked up and was Carson's number one cheerleader.
We also get a better look and Max, another of the brothers. He takes asshole tendencies to a whole new level. He has a girl that loves him whole heartly but is tired of being pushed aside and pulled back in at his convenience.
Even after Carson proves his love for Kate and they think that their happily ever after is going to happen, more dark clouds loom. Kate was never close to her family and always felt like a second class citizen to them, but when a dark secret is revealed it will rock her to the core.
But through it all Carson stands strong with her and is ready to do whatever he needs to to bring nothing but happiness to Kate and their baby. I really can't say enough about the 180 Carson does. I tell ya if he had been the man he becomes from the word go I would be hunting down a Carson as well..lol.
This book ends us in one hell of a cliff hanger and I for one will be counting down the days to Max's story. I will say though the best part of Miss.Harms writing and the way she tells a story is that even though each book centralizes around a different couple the others from previous stories are still ever present. I was so happy to get a glimpse into how Zander and Riley are doing and how their life is progressing together.
So really both these books are a must read and make sure you all keen an eye out for Max's story. I know I will be waiting and hoping that it's very soonJ

Wedding crashers don't get any cuter than this.
Last month, bride and groom Sarah and Zach Levenberg were taking wedding photos in a woodsy section of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park when a gang of raccoons popped up for a quick photobomb. (The more traditional name for a group of raccoons is a "gaze" but who calls the vandals of the animal world that?)
Wedding photographer Kathryn White was quick to snap the photos ― and just as quick to suggest the bride and groom move out of the way in case the animals were aggressive.
Luckily, these furry city dwellers were chill.
"We stepped away but they continued to come toward us slowly," White told HuffPost. "They honestly just seemed super curious about what we were up to! I took some pictures as they walked behind my couple and continued down the path."
Once they made their cameo, the adorable interlopers scampered away.
"The couple and I had a good laugh after they walked away from us," White said. "We decided it must be a good omen for their wedding day!"
At the very least, it made for some pretty magical-looking wedding photos. As the bride joked on Instagram, "I'm one singing-bird-on-the-shoulder away from Disney Princess status."
Scroll down to see more of the photos.

Alonso wary of weather changes ahead of Australian GP qualifying
Melbourne, March 23: Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso on Friday said his McLaren team would need to factor in potential weather changes ahead of qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix.
The two-time world champion, who was eighth quickest in both free practice sessions on Friday, said he lost time in the first session after spotting an issue in his MCL33's exhaust system, but showed better pace during his second outing, reports Efe.
"Now we need to analyse everything to get the best package for tomorrow," Alonso said.
The 36-year-old Spaniard added that weather forecasts predicted rain for Saturday, when the third free practice and the qualifying session are set to take place.
"The weather is going to affect everyone and we are used to these changeable conditions here, so hopefully we can maximise every opportunity," Alonso added.
He recorded a time of 1:25.896 in the first session and 1:25.200 in the second.
The Australian Grand Prix, the first of the 2018 Formula One season, will be held on Sunday.
