Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren In Deep Trouble As BJP Exposes Mining Lease He Awarded To Himself
Former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das said that CM Hemant Soren misused his official position to get the departments he is in charge of to grant the mining lease and the environmental clearance for the mining.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has been caught out by the state BJP. According to documents presented by BJP national vice president and former chief minister Raghubar Das, Soren misused his office to get a mining lease on a government-owned stone quarry in the outskirts of Ranchi issued in his name.
According to documents presented by Das to Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais on Friday (11 February) demanding Soren’s dismissal, the state CM got an in-principle approval for a stone quarrying lease on the government land from the state mines and geology department.
This approval was followed by the mandatory environmental clearance from the state environment department. Soren, who is the national vice president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), holds charge of the mines and geology, and forest and environment departments.
Das told Swarajya over phone from state capital Ranchi that Soren misused his official position to get the departments he is in charge of to grant the mining lease and the environmental clearance for the mining.
“What he did is a serious violation of his position as Chief Minister and is a case of conflict of interest as defined by the union government for public representatives. His acts constitute a violation of sections 7 and 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and section 169 of the Indian Penal Code,” said Das.
“This is also a violation of section 9 of the Representation of People’s Act and Article 19 (A) of the Constitution. Hence, we have requested the Governor to dismiss him from office,” Das added.
The former chief minister alleged that Soren had been trying to get this mining lease since 2008. “After coming to power, he got the geology and mines department to issue a letter of intent (for mining) in his name on 16 June 2021. On 10 July 2021, the Ranchi district mining authorities gave their approval for the lease site in Anagada mouza in the outskirts of the capital. In September that year, the state environment department gave its clearance for mining there,” said Das.
Raghubar Das had, last month, also alleged involvement of Hemant Soren’s younger brother, Basant Soren, in another scam. Das presented documents to the media that purportedly showed that Basant was a partner in a mining company by the name of Grands Mining Company operating in the Santhal Parganas administrative division of the state.
This company, alleged Das, had illegally exported stone chips to Bangladesh. The company had also not paid Rs 8 crore due to the state government. Basant Soren is the MLA from Dumka constituency.
A petition has also been filed before the Jharkhand High Court seeking a CBI enquiry into the scam, cancellation of Soren’s membership of the state legislative Assembly for violating the Representation of People’s Act, and a directive to the Governor to grant sanction for the Chief Minister’s prosecution.
JMM general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharyya dismissed the allegations as “frivolous”. But he could not reply to the specific charges that Das had levelled against his successor (Hemant Soren). Instead, Bhattacharyya held out the threat of a witch-hunt against Das by stating that the government would carry out a comprehensive review of all decisions and actions taken by the Raghubar Das government. Any wrongdoing will be acted on, he warned.
But despite such bravado, the fact remains that Hemant Soren is feeling cornered. “The government cannot dismiss the allegations as baseless as we have produced all documents as proof of the scam. That is why it is resorting to threats,” said a senior BJP leader.
The BJP is planning to launch a massive agitation to highlight this, and many other scams, of the Hemant Soren government. “We will expose all these cases of corruption and misuse of power one by one and force Hemant Soren to resign,” said BJP leader and former chief minister Babulal Marandi.
The Congress, a partner in the JMM-led ruling coalition, has so far maintained a studied silence over the issue that has triggered a political storm in the state. JMM leaders say that the Chief Minister is holding consultations with senior lawyers, including a Supreme Court lawyer who is also a Congress MP.
But, say legal experts, Soren is on a very sticky wicket and the issue of a mining lease and environmental clearance granted to him by departments that he heads amounts to gross illegality and misuse of office.

Global Business Leaders Series - Rotterdam
Canada Investment and Innovation Forum
Invest in Canada, in partnership with the Embassy of Canada to the Netherlands, brought together business leaders, senior policy makers and key local industry representatives from the Rotterdam region in the Netherlands and Canada for an informative discussion on Canada’s unique investment opportunities in: information and communication technologies (ICT), business and financial services, sustainable technologies, and infrastructure.
The business outreach program reached more than 65 Dutch companies for a total of 92 participants at the seminar. The one-on-one meeting session resulted in 132 meetings held between Canadian cities’ economic development organizations and 56 Dutch companies.
- Keynote Douglas Porter, Chief Economist and Managing Director, Bank of Montreal Financial Group
- Dr. John van Pol, Managing Director, INCAS3
The plenary and panel discussion was moderated by Stephen Lak, President, Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce.
Positive media coverage from business oriented publications through a series of media interviews with Mr. Porter has now been released. Articles from the Banking Review, The Asset, and CASHCOW reached more than 62,000 readers.
The event proved to be a success as it created awareness and positive messaging around Canada. With a top performing economy, sound banking system, highly skilled workforce, low taxes, and a commitment to free and open trade, evidenced by NAFTA, and soon the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), Canada is an excellent location for investors.

NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) – An ex-Glencore (GLEN.L) oil trader and a veteran grains merchant with futures broker R.J. O’Brien are among those behind the largest number of commodity fund launches in 3 years despite investor worries the multi-year rally in those markets is over.
A dozen hedge funds trading raw materials derivatives on discretion were launched in the first six months of this year, the same as in the whole of 2012, data from London-based research house Preqin showed. In 2011, only seven of such funds took off, the smallest number in 5 years.
The new funds are led by managers who are convinced they can be outliers in one of the toughest commodity markets in years. The funds typically begin trading with a few million dollars of the managers’ own money and cash from family and friends, before seeking outside capital.
The launches coincide with talk the commodities “supercycle” of the past decade has been thwarted by the slowing of China’s phenomenal growth. That has added to the caution of investors who had less concern allocating to hedge funds when oil, metals and grains prices were hitting record highs a few years back. “There’s certainly a mismatch now, with commodity managers seeing opportunities and investors remaining wary,” said Amy Bensted, spokesperson at Preqin, which collects data on the alternative assets industry.
Braving this market is former Glencore oil trader Jonathan Goldberg, who previously traded grains and metals for Goldman Sachs (GS.N). He hopes to raise $100 million for his New York-based fund BBL Commodities, sources briefed on his plan said. [ID:nL1N0FW0TL]
Goldberg is meeting potential investors to accept a minimum of $1 million from each, the sources said. Goldberg, who will trade price spreads between different crude and petroleum products, did not return an email seeking comment.
Ron Anderson, who traded grains for 25 years at New York’s two-century-old Continental Grain Company, in January started a discretionary trading program at County Cork LLC that looks at price disparities in soybeans and soy products on the physical and futures markets.
Anderson’s program is one of several run by County Cork, based in Skokie, Illinois and owned by futures broker R.J. O’Brien. County Cork said Anderson was managing $4 million now, and had a target of $30 million by 2014.
Gregory Cain, who headed the Far East business of U.K. metals hedge fund Ebullio Capital, in March launched a multi-commodity fund called GCGM Capital, which has a bias toward industrial metals. GCGM, based in Kent, U.K., did not return emails seeking comment.
For investors, backing these startups means taking a calculated gamble that their money will be safe and turn a profit in the not-too-distant future.
While commodity hedge funds outperformed their equity-focused peers before the financial crisis erupted in 2008, and again in 2009 and 2010 when prices rebounded, their returns have been mostly abysmal since then.
The 19-commodity Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index .TRJCRB is on track to its third yearly loss, falling 4 percent through July after a 3 percent drop in 2012 and an 8 percent decline in 2011.
This year, the majority of commodity funds lost money every month through June, according to a closely-followed Newedge index that tracks their performance. [ID:nL6N0FO2Q9]

In a room deep in the bowels of County Hall in Cardiff Bay, three of South Wales’ four candidates for Police and Crime Commissioner settle down on a small stage to face a handful of people.
The hustings, organised by charity Victim Support, is the first – and possibly only – of the campaign for Labour candidate Alun Michael and his independent challengers, former police officer Mike Baker and businessman Tony Verderame.
The audience is sparse and largely made up of interested parties – members of the local neighbourhood watch, supporters of the candidates and representatives from charities dealing with victims of crime.
The reasonably low turnout is perhaps predictable for an election plagued by criticism over lack of publicity.
The brainchild of the coalition Government in Westminster, the introduction of PCCs and accompanying Police and Crime Panels has been hailed as the biggest change in policing for decades.
But ask the average person on the street and they can tell you next-to-nothing about it.
This lack of knowledge has been blamed on the Government’s refusal to pay for the distribution of leaflets for each candidate – traditionally a mainstay of UK electioneering – and also on the decision to hold the elections in November.
The Tories have also faced criticism for not taking the elections seriously enough. Their South Wales candidate, ex-teacher Caroline Jones, is conspicuously missing from Thursday’s line-up while the Lib Dems have made the decision not to put forward a candidate at all.
The hustings itself is polite and, at times, eerily quiet. Audience members wait patiently to ask their questions while the candidates try their best to distinguish themselves in a campaign where everyone has pretty much the same message – to cut crime.
Providing better care for victims, communicating more with the public and dealing more effectively with anti-social behaviour are also pledges that come up time and time again in the two-hour long question-and-answer session.
Members of the audience chiefly want to know how the incoming Police and Crime Commissioner can help them.
Will their organisation be consulted about how best to help victims? Will the PCC allocate money to put up Neighbourhood Watch signs?
The candidates talk about value for money and working “holistically” with other agencies and are careful not to make any promises they can’t keep.
But there are also questions with wider ramifications for South Wales.
What would the candidates do to encourage more victims of hate crime to come forward? How would they deal with criminals? How might they improve relations between the police and ethnic minority communities in South Wales?
Standing up so he can “see the people at the back of the room”, Alun Michael says – depending on available budgets – he would provide extra funds to charities and agencies helping hate crime victims and would put victims “at the heart” of South Wales Police.
Tony Verderame talks about anti-social behaviour and says victims need to be able to reach the “right person” within the force to help with their problems. His answer is met with cheers from his supporters but puzzled looks from the Safer Wales worker who asked her question on hate crime.
Mike Baker, a solicitor and former police officer with 30 years experience, pledges to encourage closer communication between community officers and minority groups who are often the targets of hate crime., adding: “Unless we have officers who know what they are doing we won’t be anywhere near dealing with the problem.”
When it comes to dealing with criminals, Mr Baker says he would like to make the criminal justice system “more draconian as a deterrent”, saying: “All too often we find that the criminal justice system tends to serve the criminal over the victim.”
Mr Michael encourages restorative justice – when criminals are made to face their victims – and says prisons should be there to: “Hold people who are a danger to the public and to make sure those who are to return to the community are not going to re-offend.”
Mr Verderame takes a different tack – saying the priority should be to tackle poverty, improve education and support families to “prevent crime being committed in the first place”.
He adds: “We need to find out why those people are in prison and what we can do when these people come out.”
There is a small amount of bickering, with Mr Michael making regular references to his long experience as a politician and the other two trumpeting their own independence from party politics.
Challenged by Mr Baker over his party links, Mr Michael insists he will not be swayed by politics but says he will, “work with and influence both London and Cardiff Bay”.
One thing all three candidates agree on is the need for more help from the Government to promote their ideas so that, when voters go to the polls on November 15, they will know exactly what they are getting into.

PROVO, Utah (AP) – Kim Smith knew from the start that video remote interpreting was going to become a problem.
“I remember seeing that and thinking that is not going to work,” Smith, who is deaf, said in American Sign Language, according to a spoken English interpreter.
Smith is the co-leader of Utah Deaf Hospital Rights, a Facebook group that has gained more than 700 supporters and held a town hall and protest. She is also the president of the Utah Association of the Deaf.
Hospitals nationwide have begun using video remote interpreting, or VRI technology, to fulfill the “reasonable accommodation” portion of the American with Disabilities Act. But with small screens, unreliable Wi-Fi connections and devices that are hard to move around beds, many deaf individuals say that technology has made trying to seek and communicate about medical help worse, not better.
About two to three of every 1,000 children born in the United States have detectable hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. Around 15% of American adults report trouble hearing, with hearing loss becoming more common later in life. There are no available statistics on how many deaf individuals use ASL nationwide.
Starting a movement
Smith first became aware of nationwide issues with hospitals and interpretation after her mother had a brain aneurysm 22 years ago in Florida. Smith, who was her mother’s caretaker, requested an interpreter. It was denied under the reasoning that her mother, the patient, was hearing.
“I am the communicator in this situation,” Smith said. “I am involved.”
“The doctor found that her brain aneurysm was very risky,” Smith said. “It was life or death.”
Smith ended up hiring an interpreter herself in order to know what was going on. She later talked to the hospital’s patients rights representative, explained the situation and was referred to the hospital’s legal team, who eventually made a change in the policy.
Two decades later, Smith said issues are ongoing. She went to the hospital after a head injury in October and specifically asked for an in-person ASL interpreter. She said that staff came back and explained that the interpreting agency they reached didn’t have someone available. Smith pointed out that there are five other interpreting agencies in the area they could have tried calling.
After Utah Deaf Hospital Rights formed, it had a town hall meeting where deaf Utahns began sharing their stories. Smith started hearing from more and more people who had similar situations.
“We have suffered enough,” she said.
In one instance, Smith’s husband went to the emergency room for kidney stones. The hospital used VRI technology, but he was in so much pain he couldn’t look at the screen. Smith said she wound up signing to him what was happening on the screen.
“I should be there to be emotional support to help him as his wife,” Smith said. “Not as the interpreter.”
Writing notes between a patient and a doctor also doesn’t work, Smith said, because ASL and English are two separate languages.
“It is not our native language,” Smith said. “And some words make zero sense to us as deaf people.”
Smith said VRI can be confusing for a deaf patient. The interpreter on the screen can’t see everything that’s happening in a room, and can keep their signing flat even when a doctor appears friendly and cheerful. Interpreters can also be hesitant to vocalize pain, meaning that a doctor doesn’t know the full extent to what a patient is feeling.
“It can be awkward for an interpreter to scream out from the pain they are seeing,” Smith said.
When a deaf person who uses ASL comes into Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, it’s the hospital’s policy to use VRI.
“That does meet the needs of the ADA,” said Tim Black, the vice president of human resources and the assistant ethics and compliance officer for the hospital.
Black said it’s against the hospital’s policy for family members or hospital employees to interpret on behalf of a patient. They will also provide an interpreter for a hearing patient’s deaf caretaker.
He said the hospital will try to call the vendor to provide a live interpreter if a patient expresses that they don’t want to use VRI. He points to a couple who gave birth in May who contacted the hospital ahead of time asking for an in-person ASL interpreter to interpret for a new father during a birth.
But getting an in-person interpreter, Black said, can typically take a couple of hours. He said he hasn’t heard a complaint about the hospital’s VRI technology in six years.
“They’re used to it,” Black said. “They’re fine with it.”
The hospital’s VRI equipment is on a cart, which he said is always charged.
The hospital has not had a discussion on if it should hire an in-house ASL interpreter.
“The thing I that I think about the most is just making sure that we are taking care of everyone who comes through our doors with whatever needs they have,” Black said.
Fighting for change
Jared Allebest, a deaf attorney who often represents deaf clients in lawsuits, compares using VRI in a hospital room to trying to have a Thanksgiving dinner over Skype. Someone might be able to hear what is going on but they can’t see who is talking or what is going on.
While VRI is good for emergencies, he said it should only be used as a temporary measure until a live interpreter can get to a hospital.
“But that’s not what’s happening,” Allebest said. “Hospitals are relying exclusively on VRI and they are doing everything they can to not hire an ASL interpreter.”
His first lawsuit involved a husband and a wife who delivered a baby without an ASL interpreter present. Since then, he’s filed other lawsuits on behalf of deaf patients.
“It’s a systemic problem,” he said. “It’s not just one client, it’s not just one deaf person. It is happening up and down Utah state.”
He said he’d like for the issues to be settled without lawsuits, but that sometimes it’s the only way to show that there’s a problem.
“Legally, there hasn’t been a clear answer as to what a hospital’s obligations are,” Allebest said.
A live, in-person ASL interpreter, he said, is the gold standard. But hospitals have been sold on the idea that VRI would be the magic bullet. Since the introduction of the technology, he said hospitals have been less willing to bring in in-person interpreters.
“We live in an age where we are fascinated with technology and there are always these upgrades,” he said. “But sometimes the old-fashioned way is the best way.”
Smith would like to see hospitals use live interpreters in emergency situations and to provide ASL interpreters for the deaf family members and caretakers of hearing patients. She wants hospitals to reach out to the Utah Association of the Deaf to create partnerships and learn about communication and cultural differences.
In the time since Utah Deaf Hospital Rights has launched, she’s gotten messages from deaf patients who are at hospitals and are not being provided with an interpreter.
“I just want to make sure that everyone knows that we are not second-class citizens,” Smith said. “We are real people that have all of the skills in life except for the ability to hear.”

Tuesday’s bond market has opened in negative territory with stocks mixed and not much to drive bond trading. The Dow is currently down 20 points while the Nasdaq is up 23 points. The bond market is currently down 7/32 (1.91%), which should push this morning’s mortgage rates higher by approximately .125 of a discount point.
As was the case yesterday, there is nothing of importance set for release today that is expected to affect mortgage rates. That leaves stocks as the biggest influence on bonds. If the major stock indexes remain near current levels, bonds and mortgage rates will likely do the same.
This week’s first piece of relevant economic data is March’s Existing Homes Sales report from the National Association of Realtors at 10:00 AM ET tomorrow. This report gives us an indication of housing sector strength and mortgage credit demand. It is considered to be moderately important to the markets, but can influence mortgage pricing if it shows a sizable variance from forecasts. Ideally, the bond market would like to see a drop in home resales because a soft housing sector makes broader economic growth more difficult. Analysts are expecting to see an increase in sales between February and March. The larger the increase, the worse the news it is for bonds and mortgage rates.

The survey “Mapping Unionism in Macedonian Media” is aimed at providing the initial indicator of the way in which journalists and media workers perceive union organizing and their working conditions. The collection of data was conducted through anonymous surveys in Stip, Veles, Bitola, Tetovo and Prilep over a representative sample of 150 respondents. The respondents were asked to give a general overview of the situation in the media market, including ownership, number of media, number of journalists and media workers. The survey covered the period March-May 2016.
The results analysis was done with the quantitative and qualitative discursive method tools in order to get a general picture of the media situation at local level. This venture was initiated by the global trends in union action faced with alienation of membership.
The results from the survey showed that, in terms of the economic stability, the media at local level are constantly struggling to survive in the market. This is especially true for printed and online media. The bad economic trends have a direct impact on the work status of journalists, with fixed-term agreements and precarious work, especially in online media, becoming a practice. Although the survey has identified journalist and media workers who work on fixed-term agreements, the fact that it is impossible to detect the number of workers in the online media, which are the most numerous in the market, only serves to prove the extent of precarious work.
Unionism at local level is exposed to strong pressures from employers and the political elites, in addition to the existing lack of faith in this type of organization.
1.1.Situation and structure of media in Tetovo
The media market in Tetovo comprises 4 TV stations (KIS, ULTRA, KOHA and ART), 3 web portals (Tetova 1, Tetova Sot and Boulevard), 4 radio stations (Kis, Plus Forte, Bleta and Red), not including the local printed media in the market.
According to the survey results, 73 journalists and media workers are actively involved in the operation of the media, of which 57 permanently employed in the television and 10 in the radio sector. The survey could not define the number of workers on fixed-term contracts, but identified two journalists recruited as freelancers in the radio stations.
The ownership structure is transparent regarding ownership of multiple media by one employer. The monthly income in more than 80% of the respondents is below 300 euros.
1.2.General picture of union organization in Tetovo
The results from the survey show a certain level of interest on the part of journalists and media workers in union organization, but actual membership in a structural form is still lacking. Over 60% believe in unionism, but there is a noted lack of information about the benefits membership offers, while 40% believe that they can be protected in case of non-transparent dismissal.
Over 80% believe in solidarity among colleagues. Although some of them expressed the opinion that the situation in the media is subject to an immense political pressure, they believe that solidarity is a good foundation to fight it.
Over 60% have faith in their employers, and these are mostly people employed against permanent-employment contacts. Pressures at work and mobbing have been reported by 50% of the respondents. They are mostly exposed to unpaid overtime and coercion. 80% of the respondent reported a monthly income lower than 300 euros. Over 60% of journalists are female, while men comprise the majority of the technical staff (camera crew, photo reporters, sound editors, etc.)
2.1 Situation and structure of media in Prilep
Online media are currently predominant in the media market in Prilep, while the printed editions face financial difficulties. According to the results of the survey, the media market structure consists of 13 media, 2 of which are TV station, 3 radio stations, 3 printed editions with no continuity in the market, and 6 web portals.
Although it is difficult to establish with precision the number of journalists and media workers employed against long-term or fixed-term contracts, the survey shows that 45 are actively working in the media market.
Out of the total of 23 journalists with permanent employment, the majority come from the radio stations. Employments have also been noted in the online sector as well, although the number of such cases is minimal and reduced to 2 journalists. The survey shows no data on freelancers or fixed-term employments, and to the question why the employment status was so difficult to determine, the person who was conducting the survey in Prilep answered that precarious work was very much present and there were cases when one journalist worked as a freelancer for several media without having his/her employment status regulated.
Reporting is going downward and currently only around 10 journalists are permanently or temporarily employed with some of the national media or web-portals operating in Skopje.
Media ownership is mainly within the realm of the private sector. There are no instances of one person owning multiple media, but the regional TV Kanal Vizija has a dispersed structure in term of its financing, i.e. it is financed both by enterprises and the municipality budget.
2.2 General picture of union organization in Prilep
Faith in union action in Prilep is almost non-existent. Only one journalist is a member of the union, despite the fact that 80% of the respondents are aware of the benefits membership offers. Over 95% of the respondents are informed about the work and activities of SSNM. A high percentage of the journalists and media workers believe that the union cannot protect them from non-transparent dismissal, while 60% believe in solidarity as a form of organizing. One of the respondents who has expressed doubts about the issue of solidarity stated that those are due to the lack of faith in the system and the current political situation in the country.
“The lack of faith in the system is the main reason for this answer. Considering the current situation in the country, I don`t believe that any time soon something will change, especially in the union sphere” is the explanation of the respondent with regard to his lack of trust in solidarity among colleagues.
Over 70% of the respondents who are unemployed or freelancers have stated that they believed in their employers, and that they worked in several media at the same time.
According to the survey, only 5% of the respondents have faced any form of pressure, while 95% believe that they have never been victims of mobbing.
The average salary of journalists and media workers is 250 euros and 30% of the respondents said that their monthly income is lower than 150 euros.
The survey shows that most of the journalists are women, while men work in other technical segments of the media.
3.1 Situation and structure of media in Bitola
The economic structure of the media in Bitola comprises 4 web portals, 4 radio stations, 3 TV stations and 5 printed editions. According to the data from the survey, there are over 65 journalists and media workers. For now, 23 journalists are permanently employed and 15 are freelancers. The ownership structure is transparent and is a part of the private sector. Although with a lower intensity and with poorer working standards, for now 14 journalists work as correspondents for some of the national media.
3.2 General picture of union organization in Bitola
Union organization among the journalists and media workers in Bitola is week, but over 70% of the respondents have expressed faith in unionism. Over 50% of the respondents think that they should receive more information on the work of the unions and that they are not sufficiently informed about the benefits of the active participation in the union, although, according to the results, 95% have stated that they have sufficient level of information on the activities of SSNM. There are different opinions regarding the intervention and assistance of the union in cases of non-transparent dismissals from work, although over 55% of the respondents believe that the union support and help is necessary in such cases. Over 70% of the respondents believe that solidarity is important in building the integrity of journalists and media workers. One of the respondents stated that unions, not members, are responsible for building solidarity.
“If there was a good union, we would not be in this situation”, said one of the respondents.
Over 60 % of journalists and media workers who are freelancers have no faith in the employers, while those who are permanently employed stated the contrary.
Over 80 % of the respondents have suffered some form of pressure by an editor or an owner, in form of salary cuts. The reasons are mainly connected to reporting on certain politicians, who demand interventions in the stories.
The average monthly income of journalists and media workers is 300 euros. Women`s salaries are lower compared to those of the men.
4.1 Situation and structure of media in Shtip
The media market in Shtip comprises 8 media outlets and one non-profit student radio. The ownership structure is private and consists of 3 TV stations, 2 radio stations, 1 printed media and 2 online portals. According to the survey, the total number of journalists and media workers is 63, of whom 19 journalists are permanently employed, 10 are employed against fixed-term contracts and 7 are freelancers. 16 journalists work as correspondents.
4.2 General picture of union organization in Shtip
As regards the level of information in union benefits and SSNM`s work, the journalist and media workers in Shtip have a high level of interest and knowledge of their working rights. As regards solidarity between colleagues, they believe that there is room for improvement of the conditions in the journalist profession in order to strengthen the self-confidence and integrity of the professionals.
The majority of the respondents believe that the union can protect them for non-transparent dismissal from work, with the exception of one of the respondents who stated that union organizations are passive and non-reactive when journalists face specific problems within the scope of union action.
“The union was not interested to help me when I was dismissed from work, nor even made an attempt. I would like to believe that this union will function differently” says one of the respondents.
The faith in employers is low and 70% of the respondents have reported mobbing.
“My salary was reduced without any notification or explanation. I heard from my colleagues how the director had complained that I was earning a lot of money from other media where I am engaged as a freelancer, while he had to raise a loan to buy wood as his 25.000 denars salary was not enough” is one of the answers to the question about the mobbing.
The average monthly income is between 250 to 350 euros. However, in most cases, journalists and media workers work for several different media at the same time.
5.1 Situation and structure of media in Veles
The media market in Veles comprises 3 web portals, 2 radio stations and 3 TV stations. According to the results from the survey, there are 38 journalists and media workers. For now, only 4 journalists are permanently employed, while 11 have fixed-term contracts and 5 are freelancers.
5.2 General picture of union organization in Veles
The survey could not be conducted in Veles due to the strong pressures and self-censure of the journalists and media workers who had expressed fear to answer the questions despite the anonymous nature of the survey.
SSNM does not have relevant data to be able to provide a general picture of the union organization in Veles.

I'm feeling in a very Christmassy mood today! I left work early and had a little wander around the town centre and saw so many decorations and good ideas for presents which put me in such a good mood as I love Christmas! (Is it too early to put up my tree?)
And being in a Christmassy mood its got me thinking of all the things I want to bake over the next couple of months and no doubt they will involve allot of Christmassy ingredients so I best stock up on Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon and dried fruit etc. I'm already licking my lips at the thought of all the mince pies, gingerbread men and fruit cake I will no doubt make to many off. I'm also thinking about snow men cake pops and about making a gingerbread house as I made a huge one a few years back (complete with boiled sweet stained glass windows) It was a big project but looked great finished. It almost makes me feel the season should be longer to allow for more baking! The food is definitely my favourite part of Christmas.
Let me know what your favourite Christmas treat is, give me some ideas.
Any way so enough of me getting carried away with Christmas cheer, this week I've been baking more cupcakes. Chocolate and Amaretto cupcakes to be exact. I've been meaning to use Amaretto in a cupcake for a while but I have to admit, these ones came about by accident. Boyfriend sudenly decided late one night that he needed cake and I was in the mood to bake (as usual) so before checking all my ingredients I hurriedly threw together all the dry ingredients before realising I was out of milk, at which point I improvised! And here they are!
If I would have planned this cake more ahead I definitely would have made the butter cream better and probably topped it with crushed Amaretti biscuits!
Here's how they're made:
120g Plain flour
25g Cocoa Powder
150g Caster Sugar
1 Tsp Baking Powder
50g Unsalted Butter
big glug of Amaretto (About 100ml or until you have a nice consistency)
Few drops of Vanilla extract
Few drops of Almond extract
Preheat the oven to 170 deg . Mix all the dry ingredients together and rub in the butter until you have a sandy consistency.
Whisk the Eggs, Vanilla and almond together in a jug and pour about into the dry mix and beat to combine.Then add the Amaretto gradually until the mixture is smooth, free of lumps and off a good consistency.
Spoon the mixture into paper cases two thirds full and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
For the Amaretto butter cream.
250g Icing Sugar
80g Unsalted Butter
2-3 Tbs Milk
3-4 Tbs Amaretto
Blitz all ingredients together until you get the right consistency - add more Icing sugar, and Amaretto as needed.
And that's it!
I have to make a few cupcakes for a Christening this weekend too so I've also been practicing getting the right colour pink butter cream. It looks more peach on the pic but it was more of a bubblegum pink, in fact it looked like I'd piped bubblegum right onto the cake.
That's it for now any way! Have a fun weekend and let me know if you bake any thing yummy!
Bye for now

Migration Madness: Insight Launches Rapid Response Team for Server 2003 Migration
Insight Enterprises (NSIT) has launched a new “Rapid Response Team” to help businesses running Windows Server 2003 migrate to a new platform before the End of Support date later this year.
With just six months until Microsoft (MSFT) pulls the plug on its 12-year-old offering, more than 20 million instances of Server 2003 continue to remain active worldwide. Those remaining on Server 2003 past the support deadline will not be able to receive updates and support for their platforms, leaving them open to malware and other malicious attacks.
“As the deadline nears, a large portion of businesses have not taken any steps to address outdated server software, posing a serious threat to data security across the U.S. corporate landscape,” said David Mayer, practice director, Microsoft Solutions for Insight, in a statement. “As we work with businesses on addressing the issue, it’s also becoming clear that many are confused about the right steps to take.”
“We have established the Insight Rapid Response Team to work specifically on this issue and help businesses act on the critical decisions that need to be made—which could take more than 18 months to implement,” he added.
Insight’s Rapid Response Team also outlined some of the top errors that businesses should avoid when migrating their operating systems, including:
- Insufficient planning and assessment: Many businesses have launched upgrade migrations without knowing the full extent of the server environment, including what critical applications are in use. Businesses may not have conducted a detailed assessment of what data needs to be moved, what does not and what should never be moved.
- Failure to understand user and organizational impact: Businesses may be underestimating the migration’s impact on daily business operations. Organizations have not scheduled resource-intensive migration tasks for off-peak hours and are not applying the right manpower for ongoing management and reporting on project status.
- Inconsistent or absent coexistence between old and new servers: Businesses must ensure operability between users, that directories are being synchronized, and that they preserve permissions, security settings and access points to the network and resources.
- Inadequate data protection: Businesses are already reporting data loss during migration because they did not back up their data. Businesses should back up data before, during and after the migration.
- Failing to optimize the new environment: Some businesses overseeing migrations have not created a robust management strategy to reduce the administrative burden. Businesses need to plan for how they will monitor the health of the IT environment to ensure it is secure and compliant.

About 20 students came out to the recreation center for “Almost Anything Goes” Tuesday night.
Director of Campus Recreation Juliette Moore said the event’s purpose is to build unity among organizations in a playful way.
Moore, who initiated the event, said it usually starts out small but has been successful on other campuses she has worked at.
She said she would like to see AAG become a campus-wide event, perhaps becoming a part of something like Springfest. She added she would like to see more organizations get involved so the event can grow.
Jodie English, Student Association recreation adviser, helped coordinate the event. She said all those who helped decided on a unity in diversity among organizations theme.
“It’s 100 percent geared for fun. Our main focus is to have fun and to get the presidents of the organizations internetworked so they feel comfortable talking to each other,” English said.
She said the attendance was not high but everyone had fun, which was one of the main goals. Also, the students who participated will be more familiar with each other.
She said in the future, the event should be coordinated earlier in the semester and not so near to finals.
Jeff Leighty, Phi Sigma Epsilon president, said he thought the event was a great idea.
“It can lead to the interaction (between organizations) later on,” Leighty said.
He said organizations sometimes operate in their own worlds. This event can open up communication between groups, he said.

No. 267, Custom Development of California trains its employees to carry out product installations and uphold warranties for clients.
AFTER Opening Custom Development of California in 1992, Dino Gilli, our Founder, stopped using subcontractors to install product lines for the company. He made a commitment to training and insuring employees who can perform installations and cover warranties—enabling the business to add offerings such as siding, roofing, solar, kitchens and baths—and evolve the company into one of the largest home improvement companies in the United States.
“It gives you more control over the installation process because as an employee, we can tell them exactly how we want the job done,” says Bob Capron, General Manager and Co-Owner, who created an employee profit sharing program at Custom in 2014. “Since we offer these benefits, we get more career-minded people in the installation department and the sales and customer service departments; [and] so they take a little more pride in it because they take pride in the company.”
“We’re constantly trying to improve our recruiting and our training of our growing staff.”

The way this podcast will work is that anyone who wants to join and appear on one episode or more has to download Skype (which is free) on their computers and get themselves a microphone or headset to set up an account and call the main crew of myself and a few other members who came up with the idea and then we record the call and post it up. The idea is that each week we will have new guests on the show and keep it rotating so there will be one once a week regardless if a few people can't make it that certain week. The only rule is that if you come on you must have something interesting to say and be entertaining. Nothing more boring than a bloke who will only talk about Pokemon and nothing else. Hope this answers everything,
hes actually referring to our little ad in episode 3 for finding a replacement for Nick in his absence. Either way its good people even just looking for a guest spot that we aren't aware of to give us some good tidbits about themselves and what makes them special.
Awesome!, I would love to do this! And I will like to say I'am not remotely uninteresting, I have almost ways have something to talk about, a big fan of movies, bad movies, big fan of HSM 3, tv shows, AND I FIGHT WITH LIGHTSABER (NO JOKE), and I already have a headset mic, so wanna you say. :)

- So determined was the leadership to guard against infiltration that members were required to leave their phones out of the meeting venue.
- Chairman Haji said the team has proved that the solution to all the problems the country face today can be tackled through dialogue.
Before getting down to work after their gazettement by President Uhuru Kenyatta in May last year, a high-ranking government official opposed to the ‘handshake’ sought a secret meeting with a section of the Building Bridges Task Force, the Sunday Nation can reveal.
Some of those who were approached and agreed to speak to us in confidence disclosed that the individual, through proxies who made it clear whom they were working for, wanted to establish ‘a working relationship’ with them as they conducted the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) business.
The members were approached separately and when some shared their experiences thinking it was unique to them, it became a plenary matter and one of the first orders of business to transact.
It was discussed and a common position was taken not to entertain such. “Lucrative offers were made but we were guided by our conscience. We did this in the interest of the country,” one of them said.
While some flatly rejected the offer on account it would amount to betraying the President and Mr Raila Odinga, his fierce challenger in the August 2017 polls who had now agreed on a political truce, the rest knew that their every action was being monitored by the State.
And unbeknown to many of them, most of those helping with the clerical work as well as other officers assigned to task force members were seconded from the National Intelligence Service.
Initially, suspicion was rife and akin to the Serena talks in 2007/08 that paved the way for the creation of coalition government in April 2008, the proposal had been that the seat of chairperson be held on rotational basis-between those seconded by Mr Kenyatta and those by Mr Odinga, interchangeably.
But aware that doing so would further entrench the mistrust, the team settled for a permanent chairman in Yusuf Haji, 78, a former administrator.
“Before getting down to work, we had to first surrender our personal political opinions and biases. We had to also erase from our minds whoever we thought had proposed our names to the task force to focus on the mission ahead,” Mr Paul Mwangi, the BBI secretary, said.
Mr Haji, a former Provincial Commissioner, refused to comment on reports of attempted interference at formative stages of the team.
Predictably, expected to make drastic changes with far-reaching implications on how the country is governed going forward, all the politicians nursing presidential ambitions have keenly followed the work of the BBI intending to influence some of its recommendations.
Living up to its building bridges name, they established that all the decisions contained in the final report were arrived at through consensus.
“Whenever we encounter a matter on which opinion was divided, we allocated it more time, discussed extensively until the impasse was broken. Each time, what is good for the country carried the day,” said Mr Mwangi.
So determined was the leadership to guard against infiltration that members were required to leave their phones out of the meeting venue.
They were alive to the fact that some members may have been tempted to record deliberations and share with outsiders, another source told us.
They have successfully managed to keep their meeting venues, other than the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, in Kilimani and Runda, all in Nairobi, away from the public.
But still, the Sunday Nation is aware that Deputy President William Ruto’s camp had moles within the task force who kept him updated on every crucial decision made so much so that his remarks throughout his whirlwind tours of the country have been informed by the insider information.
“We have seen the draft and some of their proposals cannot be implemented,” a high-ranking member of DP’s war council told this writer through a short message Saturday.
Chairman Haji said the team has proved that the solution to all the problems the country face today can be tackled through dialogue.
“We may not have been a homogenous team given our differing political backgrounds before the President and the former Prime Minister appointed the team, but the swiftness with which we gelled and got down to work and the commitment displayed is quite humbling. Kenyans should learn from this,” said Garissa Senator.
Despite the team insisting that consultation with the appointing authority was minimal and only restricted on logistics, independent inquiry points to a different reality.
In many occasions, Senator Haji or his vice chairman Adams Oloo had to vacate the chair to urgently receive phone calls from State operatives as well as people from Mr Odinga’s office keen on tracking progress.
While Mr Mwangi denies any interference from the bosses, the truth is the principals have been keen throughout the process, to know and sometimes suggest either directly or through proxies what they think would cure the country.
“We were not going to push predetermined positions. We assured the team that at no time were we going force on them decisions already agreed upon from elsewhere. We thank the President and the Right Honourable Odinga for giving us a free hand,” said Mr Mwangi.

It is a drum that somehow continues beating on without action: Prescription drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention the country saw a record-high in 2014, as opioids (including prescription painkillers and heroin) killed more than 28,000 people.
Yet little has been done to curb the growing opioid epidemic. In fact, the opposite is true as the CDC also reports the amount of prescription opioids sold in the US has more than quadrupled since 1999. But within that time span, Americans haven’t reported any significant increase in pain.

Now a study by HelloMD is showcasing how patients prefer using cannabis to treat their pain. While the administration of the cannabis differs among these patients—some use marijuana in conjunction with opioids while some would use marijuana exclusively to treat their ailments—the majority are reporting favor to plants over pills.
Close to 3,000 patients self-reported to HelloMD regarding these preferences. HelloMD describes itself as “a digital cannabis health and wellness platform that also provides Telehealth evaluations for medical cannabis recommendations to patients in California.”
Here is some of the key findings from the study:
- 97% ‘‘strongly agreed/agreed’’ they can decrease their opioid consumption when they also use cannabis.
- 81% ‘‘strongly agreed/agreed’’ taking cannabis by itself was more effective to treat their condition than combining cannabis with opioids.
- 71% “strongly agreed/agreed” cannabis administers the same level of pain relief as their opioid-based medications
However the more astounding numbers come from how many patients preferred using cannabis to treat their condition over opioids. A staggering 92% “strongly agreed/agreed” they preferred cannabis to treating their medical conditions and 93% would be more likely to choose cannabis to treat their condition if it were more easily and readily available. In other words, an overwhelming majority of these patients want cannabis.

It should be mentioned again the sample tested to produce these results. These patients all come from HelloMD’s database and therefore are possibly more inclined to already support medical cannabis. There is no comparative sample group who only used opioids or over-the-counter medicines to treat their conditions.
Participants in this study overwhelmingly supported the notion that they would be more likely to use cannabis as a substitute for pain medication if it were less stigmatized and more available, suggesting that there are populations of people who could benefit from this practice but are shying away due to the stigma and legal restrictions related to cannabis use.
This study displays a snapshot into those who have used both cannabis and opioids to treat their medical conditions. In that subgroup, the overwhelming majority favor using cannabis in some form. As the study concludes, “Providing the patient with the option of cannabis as a method of pain treatment alongside the option of opioids might assist with pain relief in a safer environment with less risk.”
