In 2016, rates of marijuana use among the nation’s 12- to 17-year-olds dropped to their lowest level in more than two decades, according to federal survey datareleased this week.
Last year, 6.5 percent of adolescents used marijuana on a monthly basis, according to the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health. That represents a statistically significant drop from 2014, when the nation’s first recreational marijuana shops opened in Washington state and Colorado.
The last time monthly teen marijuana use was this low was 1994, according to the survey.

“You will never find
time for anything. If you want time you must make it.” – Charles Robert Buxton
Most often, people complain of no time to do this or that most especially if they don’t want to.
This kept resounding in
my mind over a period of time now.
I believe in the
saying that when a man really wants to do something, he will create time for it
but when he does not want to do it, he will give an excuse.
This article will reveal to you why people failed to honour their initial plan or cancel their plans. Read till the end and write your comment in the comment box below.
1. Poor Self-esteem: There are people who find no reason they should do what they set aside for a particular time because they lack self-esteem.
2. Lack of passion: Not everyone that has a passion for what they are called to do or what they set aside to do at a particular time. They live or do things the way they want and when they want. They use this to sideline their progress and achievement. Let your passion show even in mundane tasks. Decide what is important to you. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right and doing well.
3. Discouragement: Oftentimes, this has been one of the major reasons I boycott certain actions most especially when I have tried several times and all I get is the opposite side of success. Discouragement has plaque many into unmoving or unflowing swamps.
4. Rationalization: Winners might analyze, but they never rationalize. Losers rationalize and have a book full of excuses to tell you why they couldn’t succeed.
5. Wrong timing: This is another major reason why many people failed to stick with their time. This happens when you fail to confirm your schedule before you allocate time for a particular action. Always check if the availability of the time you are allocating to a particular hour is available before you allocate it or else, two or more schedules may collide.
6. Better option: A better option that is far better than the initial plan set could change a planned action but sometimes, people tend to take options that are available because of certain factors while neglecting the initially planned action. This is my take here before you let another planned action take the initial place of your set time, kindly weigh the options very well.
7. Lack of Persistence: More people fail not because they lack knowledge or talent but because they just quit. It’s important to remember two words: persistence and resistance. Persist in what must be done and resist what ought not to be done.
8. Financing: If the plan involves financing or funding before it can be done, people may let the planned action go. Money is another part that can let a planned action go.
9. Past mistake and poor result: If there is a history of a past mistake or poor result, it can lead someone to boycott its initial planned.
10. Lack of Discipline: Anyone who has accomplished anything worthwhile has never done it without discipline. Discipline takes self-control, sacrifice and avoiding distractions and temptations. It means staying focused therefore, stay focus on your planned action till the end.
11. Fatalistic Attitude: A fatalistic attitude prevents people from accepting responsibility for their position in life. They attribute success and failure to luck. They resign themselves to their fate, regardless of their efforts, that whatever has to happen will happen anyway.

It could be time to think about outsourcing accountant payroll services if you’re starting to feel overwhelmed with the task. Although it may be unsettling to consider delegating such a crucial responsibility to a third party, there are certain guidelines you can adhere to.
Are You a Good Fit for Payroll Outsourcing?
Perform an expense analysis prior to getting started. For HR professionals, processing payroll each week takes up a significant amount of time. There are other expenses besides the time and money spent on payroll each week that are less obvious. Any mistakes in submitting tax payments can result in excessive fines and costs. Thus the person responsible for payroll must keep up with the constantly evolving tax rules. This should be weighed against the price of using an independent provider.

How many clients are on your roster?
When handling your payroll, you want someone trustworthy and knowledgeable. Outsource payroll for accountants and businesses that have several dozens of customers. Additionally, you want someone who will serve as your long-term collaborator.
How frequently do you make mistakes?
Payroll mistakes can be expensive. Errors in tax calculation can get you in big trouble with the IRS, in addition to being a significant nuisance when they emerge on employee checks. You need a payroll service with a proven track record of correcting any errors.
What kind of programming do you employ?
In your capacity as the company’s owner, you’ll frequently have to grant your payroll provider access to a lot of private data. Ensure their software platform allows you to transmit the information securely and conveniently. Your workers should be able to view their pay stubs, tax information, and benefit details online as well.

At the end of a meeting with Dr. Horacio Arruda, Director of National Public Health, the Prime Minister recalled that Quebec should be
As elsewhere in the world, the number of recent cases is worrying, He writes.
In Troyes-Rivers, the increase in cases, This greatly worries the authorities, Mandatory two bars and a restaurant To temporarily close their doors The city of Mars currently has the highest number of active cases per 100,000 citizens, i.e. 75. Quebec has established 14.7 active cases per 100,000 population.
The Prime Minister reiterates that
Getting your two-dose vaccine is more important than ever. As of Wednesday, 5.02 million CBs of 12 and over had received adequate vaccination (67%) and 1.24 million had received the first dose alone.
Prime Minister Franois LeCald has repeatedly stated that his goal is to have a full vaccination of 75% of eligible Cubs by September, and that this trend can only be achieved if it continues. However, some age groups are still lagging behind, with 72% of 18-29 year olds and only 74% of 12 to 17 year olds receiving the first dose.
He is a
Achieving high immunization rates in age groups targeted by the vaccine campaign is important to achieve collective immunity that protects the entire population, including young people., Recalled the press release.
Health passport case
Quebec is increasingly considering the need for vaccination certification for citizens who wish to participate in non-essential activities such as going to a restaurant or theater.
No official announcement has been made yet in this regard. However, today Mr. of Quebec. The matter will be discussed during a meeting between Legalt and Public Health.
Labor Minister Jean-Poulette, who is in charge of the Mauritius region, also raised the possibility earlier Wednesday. He mentions a significant increase in Govt-19 cases in his region.
We are prepared to do so as an alternative to imprisonment or change of status in the Mauritius region.
The Legalt government has on several occasions indicated that it wants at all costs to avoid rebuilding Quebec in the event of a new wave of epidemics. The vaccine passport can be a tool to accelerate the vaccination campaign in the province.
This opportunity is welcomed by the business community. In the interview MIDI info, Carl Blackburn, CEO of the Employers’ Council, urged the government to adopt the move quickly.
The use of the vaccine passport may add to the level of protection for companies and the general public. We call [le gouvernement] By doing it quickly, we can get a specific estimate for the functions, A dit m. Blackburn.
The vaccination campaign ends
The dosages of the Pfizer vaccine in Quebec will be last until further notice this week, the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services said in a statement on Wednesday. A total of 585,000 doses will thus be given to health institutions.
From next week, the quantities that Quebec receives will be kept in reserve. The province says there is enough to vaccinate eligible people by August 31st. This reserve will allow those arriving in Quebec late to receive a two-dose vaccine or to administer a third dose in certain special cases, especially those at risk or those who have received injections of two different vaccines.
Currently, there are more than two million in reserves in Quebec. The rest will be sent back to Ottawa.
The province says there are enough bottles to meet the demand. If the epidemiological situation changes, it is always possible
Issue an additional order to the Central Government, The Ministry states.
Vaccination centers in companies also begin to close their doors as they slow down. This is the case for temporary clinics at Montreal Airport, Cascades and Rio Tinto Alcon.
Screening in Montreal is declining
As the number of Govt-19 infections continues to rise, screenings continue to decline, says David Kaiser, head of the urban environment and population health department at the Montreal Directorate of Public Health.
He notices that people are waiting a long time for the test. Delays of three days or more between the onset of their symptoms and their screening test were noted by the staff of the health network.
This not only makes public health work more difficult, but also increases the risk of contagion, he said.

The free MyMeatUp app is the only available app with a full guide to beef, pork, lamb and veal retail meat cuts, and draws on content from www.MyMeatUp.org, a popular resource that was launched in 2016.
“This dynamic, interactive app offers consumers a convenient, go-to guide that will equip shoppers with essential tips when buying, preparing and cooking meat and poultry products,” said NAMI President and CEO Barry Carpenter. “It is a great resource, particularly for younger shoppers just starting to navigate the grocery store on their own for themselves and their families, to answer any questions they have about the meat in the case.”
Consumers, especially millennial shoppers, often express uncertainty about how to select and prepare meat and poultry products sold at retail. MyMeatUp addresses that critical knowledge gap with its unique cuts of meat feature that visually displays the most common retail beef, veal, pork and lamb cuts. By selecting a specific part of an animal, shoppers can view images of common retail cuts, along with corresponding explanations, creative recipe ideas and proper cooking methods. Users can also take advantage of the app’s search function to quickly find information about cuts with which they are unfamiliar, making it a must-have resource when shopping.
Beyond the guide to different cuts, MyMeatUp offers a searchable glossary of common terms found on meat product labels, such as “natural,” “grass-fed,” “antibiotic-free” and “no hormones added,” among others. The app also addresses common questions about the meat and poultry industry including antibiotic use in animal agriculture, animal welfare practices, environmental concerns and nutrition facts. It includes important food safety and preparation tips, along with a video guide to using a meat thermometer. These features aim to provide much-needed clarity and transparency to consumers navigating the abundance of choices offered in the meat case to ensure purchases match their preferences.

The State of the LGBTQ+ Community
On a summer night in 1969, patrons were enjoying themselves at the Stonewall Inn, a bar located in New York’s Greenwich Village. The only difference to other bars around the area was the fact that the Stonewall Inn was largely frequented by gay customers. At the time, homosexuality was a crime in every state except Illinois. Much like many nights before, the police raided the bar sparking a clash with gay youths. Over the next couple of days, protestors took to the streets in what would become known as the “Stonewall Riots.” While the protest didn’t get much media attention, it is today largely credited with launching the modern LGBTQ+ movement in America.
Since 1969, much has changed. From the legalization of gay marriage in all 50 states in 2015, to the acronym LGBT, growing to LGBTQ+ to include and support other marginalized groups. Yet, especially in the workplace and financially, some LGBTQ+ Americans still face inequality. In 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that “an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law,” building on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and for the first time protecting LGBTQ+ Americans at the federal level from being ousted from their workplace because of their sexual orientation.Also in a 2020 study, 36% of surveyed LGBTQ+ Americans responded that they face incidents of discrimination in the work place. In turn, almost 30% of respondents said that discrimination affects their financial well-being, with 31% responding they have faced negative impacts on their “salary or ability to be promoted or their ability to retain employment."
LGBTQ+ Retirement Equality and Challenges
One of the landmark decisions for LGBTQ+ rights in America was Obergefell v. Hodges, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th amendment requires all states to grant same-sex marriages and also recognize marriages from other states.This opened the door to a more equal society and provided advantages that were previously unavailable to same-sex couples and became accessible after the Supreme Court decision, including:
- Claim Social Security benefits based on their spouse’s work history.
- Leave unlimited assets to each other without triggering federal estate taxes.
- Provide coverage for each other through their health insurance plan.
While potentially eliminating concerns over not being able to access the above benefits, financial and economic worries remain – especially regarding retirement. A 2020 AARP study showed that “65% of the LGBTQ+ participants age 45 or over were extremely or very concerned, and 88% were at least somewhat concerned,” about not having enough money to retire.In turn, ongoing discrimination and negative impacts on salary have led to income gaps and unforeseen financial inequalities.
The Retirement Savings Gap and How to Address It
A gap in retirement savings can lead to financial insecurity later on in life. A recent study found that “two-thirds of LGBTQ+ Americans carry a high amount of financial stress, with 28% saying their financial stress on an average day is ’very high’ and 38% reporting ‘somewhat high’ financial stress.” The same study also shows that LGBTQ+ Americans are less likely to have a retirement account compared to the overall population. That in turn translates to LGBTQ+ Americans being "less likely to be confident in having enough to live comfortably throughout retirement and more likely to agree that retirement savings is not a priority relative to current needs than non-LGBTQ Americans."
Solving a retirement savings gap created by decades of systematic inequality is not easy. It involves expanding awareness when it comes to financial services for LGBTQ+ Americans. Consider some of these suggestions that can be especially helpful when talking with LGBTQ+ Americans.
- Appreciate their difference – Acknowledge how financial planning is different for LGBTQ+ individuals and explain how their planning can differ from heterosexual couples.
- Stay Informed – Learn more about gender pronouns and how to properly use them (See the guide provided below). Keep informed on news and information that relate to legislation and financial industry news that could affect LGBTQ+ Americans.
- Don’t assume – Everyone’s experiences are different. Even if you know people are LGBTQ+, they have unique perspectives on the issues that they face, including financial planning. Engage in a conversation and learn about the person, not just their sexual identity.
Financial Advice and Education
A recent survey by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) and American Equity, found that 70% of respondents believe financial advisors to be trustworthy. The study also found that over half want an advisor to explain and handle the selection and management of retirement products.The study does not differentiate gender identity or sexual orientation. However, new data shows that nearly half of LGBTQ+ Americans have experienced discrimination by someone in the financial industry, including banking and investing.
LGBTQ+ rights have changed drastically over the last century. While creating more equality for LGBTQ+ Americans has been a focus, there are still many areas of life where those equalities are either hampered or not present at all. One of the most important things you can do to support LGBTQ+ Americans, not just in their financial planning journey but their lives as a whole, is through education about the issues and struggles they face. Here are resources on inclusivity tips and LGBTQ+ topics.

Even the most outdoorsy folks need a quiet night on the couch now and again. When you want to binge something better than stale sitcom reruns, these exhilarating documentaries will inspire you to chase adventures of your own—tomorrow, perhaps.
Videos by Outdoors
1. Free Solo
A true edge-of-your-seat story, this award-winning film follows free soloist Alex Honnold as he takes on Yosemite National Park’s 3,000-foot El Capitan without a rope. His climbing quest has the highest of stakes: Become the first to accomplish the feat or fall to his death on camera. The suspenseful documentary claimed more than a dozen awards, including an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.
2. Into the Empty Quarter
Inspired by Wilfred Thesiger’s 1,000-mile expedition through the unforgiving desert of the Arabian Peninsula in the 1940s, Alastair Humphreys and Leon McCarron self-film their own trek through the Empty Quarter. The pair plan a last-minute, low-budget trip that leaves them pulling a homemade cart weighed down with 700 pounds of supplies across the world’s largest sand desert.
To highlight the plight of 50,000 wild horses in government holding facilities, four fresh-out-of-college cowboys adopt 16 wild mustangs and take them on a 3,000-mile journey from Mexico to Canada. The documentary showcases the value of these incredible creatures as the friends navigate danger, drought, and death in the wild American West.
4. The Endless Summer
Nearly 60 years after its release, this Bruce Brown film is considered a cinematic classic and a major influence on modern adventure documentaries. It follows surfers Mike Hynson and Robert August as they chase summer up and down the world, demonstrating how unlimited time and money could essentially make surfing season endless.
5. The Great Alone
Shot in the Alaskan Arctic, this documentary tells the comeback story of champion sled sled dog racer Lance Mackey. Amid battles with homelessness, addiction, and cancer, he fights to secure his spot as one of the all-time greats and dominate the Iditarod’s 1,000 miles of brutal wilderness.
6. The Alpinist
Packed with nerve-racking footage of risky solo ascents, this documentary captures the life and climbs of the late Marc-André Leclerc. This off-beat alpinist is a purist who couldn’t care less about praise or attention, and even the cameras struggle to keep up with his harrowing, icy pursuits that set the bar high for other free climbers.
7. Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young
An oddball ultramarathon inspired by an escaped felon, the Barkley comprises five loops through changing elevation and thick woods in Tennessee’s Frozen Head State Park. Only 15 runners have ever completed the 100-mile course in nearly 40 years. This film profiles all aspects of the bizarre event, including the athletes just crazy enough to subject themselves to the torture that is Barkley Marathons.
After a canyoning accident in the Swiss Alps left Jezza Williams a tetraplegic, he was motivated to continue his extreme exploits and make adventure sports accessible to everyone. This short film spotlights his inspirational recovery, adaptive adventures and the Making Trax movement.
9. Big World
Climber and chronic adventurer David Morton explores the tough parenting balance of keeping kids safe while also instilling a sense of risk-taking curiosity in their young minds. This brief documentary chronicles Morton’s week-long SUP trip down the Karnali and Bheri Rivers in Western Nepal with his 7-year-old son.
In this adventure that wasn’t, accomplished athletes Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk fail to summit Meru Peak in the Indian Himalayas in 2008. Directed by Chin and his wife, the film documents that heartbreaking failure and the climbers’ personal struggles—and their subsequent second attempt to accomplish the first ascent via the“Shark’s Fin” route.

Terrafugia achieved widespread publicity after its first aircraft in 2009; the fixed-wing Terrafugia Transition is “the world’s first practical flying car” and the company is now ramping up for production.
In May 2013, Terrafugia unveiled its vision for a four-seat VTOL plug-in hybrid-electric flying car, calling it the TF-X. The company revised the outer mold line (OML) in July 2015, steering the design away from the “open-grill” appearance of the Transition; a one-tenth scale wind tunnel test model of the TF-X, based on the new OML, was displayed that month at AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In late 2015, Terrafugia received a Section 333 exemption from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin to flight test a one-tenth scale TF-X vehicle (approximately 2 ft, or 60 cm, long). An exemption from the FAA was necessary at that time in order to conduct commercial research and development flying a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS). In February 2016, Terrafugia announced that it had completed static load testing of one-tenth scale carbon fiber wings.
The original concept, the TF-X, was a hybrid-electric tilt propeller “flying car.” For high-speed forward flight, the TF-X would fold back the blades and tuck the wings and propellers into the sides of the fuselage, using a large ducted fan at the rear for thrust. The company noted at the time that “Terrafugia’s vision for the future is the TF-X: a mass-market flying car with the potential to revolutionize the way we all get around. An all-electric vehicle with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities and computer-controlled flight, the TF-X is the flying car of the future. Terrafugia’s product development roadmap lays the groundwork for achieving this vision through a series of realistic steps over the coming decades.”
In late 2017, Terrafugia was acquired by the Chinese company Zhejiang Geely, which owns the Volvo and Lotus car brands. This injected new capital into the Transition production, and gave new urgency to the company’s eVTOL development. As unveiled at Heli-Expo in Feb. 2018, the company is studying two competing concepts under the designation of TF-2. Both are considered to be compatible with the Uber Elevate concept. Passengers board a transportation pod, which is transported by ground vehicle to the aircraft and connected prior to liftoff, so the passengers never have to deboard.

Growing up in the 90s it seemed every children’s zoology book imaginable featured snow tigers. The images are hard to forget — picturesque white tigers with dark stripes and crystal blue eyes. As a kid, seeing those photos was all the proof I needed. It made sense in my child mind, after all, that an animal adapted for life in the snow would be white for better camouflage.
Those books could not be farther from the truth.
While some animals have adapted to have white fur to aid in blending in with the snow, tigers are not one of them. Making this situation even more strange is the fact that the white gene is exclusively found in Bengal tigers, a subspecies known primarily to inhabit the dry forests of India — far from any snow covered hills.
So, where is the truth in the existence of snow tigers?
To get answers, one must travel to the remote forests of the Russian Far East. No documentation in 2022 would lead you to snow tigers or even Siberian tigers, instead, you would be pointed to the Amur tiger.
Amur tiger is the modern recognized name for this subspecies due to the fact that the Amur River runs directly through their habitat. The name ‘Siberian’ tiger came about because this subspecies was originally found across much of Siberia but habitat loss mixed with poaching has decreased their range.
In the 1940s, it was on the brink of extinction with fewer than 50 individuals remaining in the wild. Decades of near continual political instability with the Russian Revolution and the formation of the Soviet Union is usually point at the source for this decline.
In 1947 after World War 2, Russia became the first country to ban tiger hunting and offer tigers full protection. Hunting of the main prey species, boar and deer, became restricted by annual quota based on the results of population counts. Poaching of tigers became relatively rare, because there was no market for skins and other tiger products, although hunters on occasion killed their “competitor” when an opportunity presented itself.
The habitat of this northern big cat ranges from tundra, to humid forests, to coniferous bush-covered mountains up to 1,200 meters or slightly under 4,000 feet. They occupy the largest tract of contiguous forest remaining on earth. Apart from the rarity of the tigers, this in itself is of conservational significance as the area is the most biologically diverse in Russia.
Lighter coloured fur throughout the year helps Amur tigers blend in better with their unique environment, even more so in winter when their already pale orange fur fades even more. Their coat is also naturally longer and thicker than other subpopulations to better aid them in the colder climate. In fact, they even have somewhat of a mane around their neck and extra fur around their paws, like a built-in scarf and mittens!
Besides their change in fur colour, Amur tigers also have a dramatically different sized body. They are the world’s largest cat species — with males weighing in between 397 to 674 lbs. Females are slightly smaller, ranging in weight from 220 to 368 lbs.
Two rules of ecology help identify what makes Amur tigers the way they are: Bergman’s Rule and Geist’s Rule. Bergman’s rule states that body size increases with latitude and hence decreasing temperature so that body surface area to volume ratios fall, and therefore in northern latitudes bigger tigers would lose less heat and need relatively less energy than smaller tigers. Geist’s Rule states similar circumstances, noting body size increases with increasing latitude, owing to an increase in the duration and amplitude of the seasonal productivity peak.
Put simply: Amur tigers are the snow tigers of our childhoods.
So, if you can’t rely on children’s books to teach your kids the proper knowledge regarding snow tigers, where can you go? It’s possible your local accredited zoo can be a great resource! Many zoos, especially those in northern climates, house Amur tigers including the Toronto Zoo. If you’re fortunate enough, you may even be able to catch a glimpse of them frolicking in the snow during the winter.
Want to see an Amur tiger from the comfort of your own home? Visit www.zoolife.tv today to see Mazy, Mila, and Vasili as they go about their lives at the Toronto Zoo.

Nay Pyi Taw (Myanmar), 15 May 2019 - Representatives from across Myanmar's security sector and relevant ministries gathered in the capital to launch Myanmar's first ever National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS).
Crime and insecurity are serious obstacles to development, which makes it paramount to ensure the safety and security of citizens of Myanmar and enhance their quality of life. Crime poses a threat to the peaceful resolution of differences and the rightful participation of citizens in the country's transition to democracy.
Mr. Troels Vester, Country Manager of UNODC, acknowledged the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Crime Prevention Committee's hard work and perseverance on developing the strategy. "It is great to see the Myanmar Government recognizing the importance of a crime prevention to not only prevent crime and victimization of crime, but also improve civil security, safety, livelihoods that support the process of sustainable development of the country."
The strategy is a significant step towards addressing the risk factors related to crimes that negatively impact the country's public safety, well-being, and public confidence in key government institutions.
Beginning in 2015, when the Myanmar Police Force received a mandate from the government to develop a NCPS, UNODC, with the financial support of the United Kingdom government, and the resulting Crime Prevention Committee has since worked closely with a number of key ministries and international experts to develop it in line with UNODC's Crime Prevention Guidelines, emphasising:
The NCPS is outlined under four main areas: crime prevention through social development, community-based crime prevention, environment induced crime prevention, and, rehabilitation and reintegration programming. The NCPS is further divided into local level, state/division regional level and national level interventions.
Lt. General Kyaw Swe, the Union Minister for the Ministry of Home Affairs, explains how crime prevention will be undertaken by the various actors, "the strategic actions should also be formulated for each level, such as division region/state level, district level and township levels to be implemented harmoniously. New forms of crime arise with change of governance systems and regimes; potential harmful socio- economic development and technical evolutions shall also be identified and prevented through the collective effort of government ministries, civil societies and the people."
Myanmar faces a number of major changes that can have substantial impact on crime and public safety. The movement of people from rural to urban areas is accelerating and when people find it difficult to secure employment in their new environments an increase in public disorder, survival crime, and petty thefts is often observed. Other crimes are also of concern, such as selling of drugs, theft of livestock and personal property, and firearms and weapons related offences.
It is clear that some of these crimes are affecting certain regions or parts of the country more than others. Border areas face their own crime challenges, while rural and urban crime trends vary from each other, and poverty has a greater impact on the criminality of certain segments of the population.
As a national priority, crime prevention goes well beyond the effective provision of police services. Although the role of the police in responding and preventing crime is absolutely central, many others must also recognize their respective responsibilities. It has become clear in today's world that the police and the criminal justice system cannot fight crime alone. There is now a new challenge for administrative authorities and organizations at all levels to cooperate in a more organized and effective way to prevent crime and contribute to public safety.
The strategy will operate for a three-year period. During this time, the government will focus on improving data collection, establishing necessary partnerships, and ensuring a comprehensive implementation of the strategy.
The Ministry of Home Affairs led the development of the drafting committee, which included the following members: Minister of Home Affairs, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Deputy Minister of Border Affairs, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Livestock and Irrigation, Deputy Minister of Transport and Communication, Deputy Minister of Education, Deputy Minister of Planning and Finance, Deputy Attorney General, Permanent Secretary of Information, Permanent Secretary of Religion and Culture, Permanent Secretary of Labour and Immigration, Permanent Secretary of Health and Sport, Permanent Secretary of Social Welfare, Director General of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Director General of the Myanmar Human Rights Commission, Secretary of the Naypyitaw City Development Committee, Vice Chairman of the Women's Affairs Federation, Vice Chairman of the Maternal and Child Welfare Association, and the Chief of Police.

Allied Interpreters: Exploring the Role Perception and Ethics of Uncertified Interpreters Supporting Migrant Agricultural Workers in British Columbia
Uncertified interpreters enable migrant agricultural workers in Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program to access key resources and connect with community. Through providing a range of services, including support work and advocacy, interpreters assist migrant workers at risk of exploitation and injury in Canada. This article explores how uncertified interpreters navigate the power dynamics between migrant workers, interpreters, and other actors. Moreover, this article investigates how uncertified interpreters perceive their role and the ethical values that guide their communicative methods. This study’s research findings show that interpreters may adopt a pro-worker role perception as they gain knowledge of the disempowerment experienced by migrant workers. Arising from this role perception, interpreters may also adopt pro-worker ethical values that renounce interpreter neutrality in favour of accessibility and an explanatory communication style. Ultimately, this article contends that uncertified interpreters may reject some traditional interpretation guidelines to adopt a role perception, ethical framework, and communicative style perceived to be more well-suited to supporting migrant farm workers in British Columbia.

Mike Ashley, the renegade founder of Sports Direct, is expected to name
himself as chairman of the sports retailer this week, a move that will raise
serious governance concerns.
The Sunday Times reports that Ashley, currently deputy chairman of
the group he founded and still owns a 70% stake in, will step up to chair the
group this week.
It is understood that advisers to Sports Direct see the move as a solution to
the fruitless search for a new independent chairman, which has been underway
since May when then chairman David Richardson stormed out of the company after a
face-off with the board.
The plan is then to recruit a tough, independent deputy chairman to keep
Ashley in line.
If Ashley does step up to chairman, the move will raise serious governance
concerns. The Combined Code specifies that a chairman must be independent and
that if this is not the case then investors must be consulted about diverging
from the code.
Shares in Sports Direct have fallen 70% since it floated on the public
markets and investors have never been comfortable with Ashley’s maverick

Surprise! Soulwax is releasing "an album of original material, “ESSENTIAL" on 22 June via DEEWEE".
The first cut we are blessed with is "Essential Four", a jolly irresistible tune with a thwacking bassline, plenty of cowbell-action, wooshes, pew-pews and lyrics that ruminate on the unstoppable nature of our stream of consciousness (I think).
Is the "Four" in the title a nod to the updated Gang of Four-esque sound of the track? Is it a play on "what thoughts are essential for"? Or are all the tracks on the new album numbered 1 to 12 and is this just track number 4? We don't know. What I do know is that Soulwax' previous album "from DEEWEE" is one of my favourite albums from the last 10 years and getting new work so soon is pretty damn good news for the human race.
Update: the press release just came through and it turns out that all tracks are titled 1 to 12. The entire album is Soulwax' 2018 submission for the "Essential Mix" series on BBC. They are the first artist ever to create 100% original material instead of the usual mix of other artists & own material.
Quote: "When we were approached to make an Essential Mix for the BBC in May 2017, we chose to do what every sane human being would do, we decided to lock ourselves into our studio for two weeks and make an hour of new music based around the word 'Essential', instead of preparing a mix of already existing music. The product of this otherwise unwise decision is something we ended up being very proud of."
We now also know who the voice on "Essential Four" belongs to: Belgian vocalist Charlotte Adigéry, who will be releasing her second EP on DEEWEE later in 2018.

There are many different kitchen gadgets and utensils on the market today. Many of them require fully functional kitchens where you can easily prepare meals. Without the right cooking utensils, you have to use poor substitutes that can degrade the flavor of your recipe. Even in the newest kitchens, some essential things are required to make good food. The grillscapes can provide you the essential kitchen appliances that will save your time while working in the kitchen.
These basic utensils include affordable cooking utensils that will make it easier for your family to prepare meals. With a measuring cup, you can mix ingredients for a recipe in the right proportions. You can choose to get cups with different markings or cup types of different sizes. Other essential basic kitchen utensils include a tablespoon, cleaning knife, spatula, and pizza roll.
Small utensils are some of the best kitchen utensils that many people use in their kitchens. This device cuts your preparation time in half. This is great when you're hungry or just don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Blenders, blenders, toasters, and microwaves are useful items to have while cooking. While it may be assumed, it is also worth mentioning that large appliances facilitate your cooking skills. A refrigerator, stove, and oven are necessary for the kitchen.
If you want to spend time in the kitchen making delicious home cooking, there are also the necessary cooking utensils to make them. High-quality cooking utensils are available if you want your food to cook evenly. The mixing bowl gives you a place where you can quickly combine the ingredients for the recipe you want to prepare. Plastic storage containers are also useful if you run out of food after eating.

Here is a look at how Coach Inc. (COH) fares in ModernGraham's opinion, based on an updated and modernized version of Benjamin Graham's requirements of defensive and enterprising investors from The Intelligent Investor:
Defensive and Enterprising Investor Tests (What is the significance of these tests, and what is PEmg ratio?):
Defensive Investor - must pass at least 6 of the following 7 tests: Score = 5/7
- Adequate Size of Enterprise - market capitalization of at least $2 billion - PASS
- Sufficiently Strong Financial Condition - current ratio greater than 2 - PASS
- Earnings Stability - positive earnings per share for at least 10 straight years - PASS
- Dividend Record - has paid a dividend for at least 10 straight years - FAIL
- Earnings Growth - earnings per share has increased by at least 1/3 over the last 10 years using 3-year averages at beginning and end of period - PASS
- Moderate PEmg ratio - PEmg is less than 20 - PASS
- Moderate Price to Assets - PB ratio is less than 2.5 or PB x PEmg is less than 50 - FAIL
Enterprising Investor - must pass at least 4 of the following 5 tests or be suitable for a defensive investor: Score = 5/5
- Sufficiently Strong Financial Condition, Part 1 - current ratio greater than 1.5 - PASS
- Sufficiently Strong Financial Condition, Part 2 - Debt to Net Current Assets ratio less than 1.1 - PASS
- Earnings Stability - positive earnings per share for at least 5 years - PASS
- Dividend Record - currently pays a dividend - PASS
- Earnings growth - EPSmg greater than 5 years ago - PASS
Valuation Summary (Explanation of the ModernGraham Valuation Model)
|Value Based on 3% Growth||$48.24|
|Value Based on 0% Growth||$28.28|
|Market Implied Growth Rate||4.23%|
|Net Current Asset Value (NCAV)||$2.72|
Balance Sheet - 9/30/2013
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share - ModernGraham
Coach Inc. is a very strong company, with healthy financials and a very consistent and promising level of growth in earnings. The company is not suitable for the Defensive Investor, having failed the PB ratio requirement and the Dividend Record requirement. The company passes all of the requirements of the Enterprising Investor, and that investor type should feel comfortable proceeding with further research, beginning with a review of some Defensive Investor companies.
From a valuation standpoint, the company has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.79 in 2009 to an estimated $3.33 for 2014. The market implies a growth rate of 4.23%, a rate which is easily supported by the earnings history. As a result, the company appears to be undervalued at the current time and there may be an opportunity for profit.
What do you think? Do you agree that Coach Inc. is undervalued? What would be your assessment? Is the company suitable for Defensive Investors or Enterprising Investors?
Disclosure: The author held a long position in Coach Inc. (COH) at the time of publication and had no intention of liquidating that position within the next 72 hours.

Comparative analysis of methane-oxidizing archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria in anoxic marine sediments.Appl Environ Microbiol. 2001 Apr; 67(4):1922-34.AE
The oxidation of methane in anoxic marine sediments is thought to be mediated by a consortium of methane-consuming archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria. In this study, we compared results of rRNA gene (rDNA) surveys and lipid analyses of archaea and bacteria associated with methane seep sediments from several different sites on the Californian continental margin. Two distinct archaeal lineages (ANME-1 and ANME-2), peripherally related to the order Methanosarcinales, were consistently associated with methane seep marine sediments. The same sediments contained abundant (13)C-depleted archaeal lipids, indicating that one or both of these archaeal groups are members of anaerobic methane-oxidizing consortia. (13)C-depleted lipids and the signature 16S rDNAs for these archaeal groups were absent in nearby control sediments. Concurrent surveys of bacterial rDNAs revealed a predominance of delta-proteobacteria, in particular, close relatives of Desulfosarcina variabilis. Biomarker analyses of the same sediments showed bacterial fatty acids with strong (13)C depletion that are likely products of these sulfate-reducing bacteria. Consistent with these observations, whole-cell fluorescent in situ hybridization revealed aggregations of ANME-2 archaea and sulfate-reducing Desulfosarcina and Desulfococcus species. Additionally, the presence of abundant (13)C-depleted ether lipids, presumed to be of bacterial origin but unrelated to ether lipids of members of the order Desulfosarcinales, suggests the participation of additional bacterial groups in the methane-oxidizing process. Although the Desulfosarcinales and ANME-2 consortia appear to participate in the anaerobic oxidation of methane in marine sediments, our data suggest that other bacteria and archaea are also involved in methane oxidation in these environments.
