OPERA superstar Bryn Terfel is to be awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Bangor University for his contribution to music.
The Pant Glas-born bass baritone has already won Grammy, Classical Brit and Gramophone Awards winner will attend a special ceremony at the University later today.
Speaking ahead of the ceremony Bryn said: “I am honoured to receive an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Bangor University. I’ve enjoyed a varied and eventful career in music and to be recognised for that is very humbling.
“It’s also a privilege to join such internationally recognised individuals who have received Honorary Doctorates from the University – all of whom have contributed a great deal to their respective fields. I’m in very good company.”
Dr David Roberts, Bangor University Secretary and Registrar, added: “Bryn Terfel is arguably the greatest operatic singer Wales has ever produced, and his roots are firmly in north west Wales. Bangor University is proud to honour an individual who has made such a remarkable contribution in the field of music – and in so doing he has become an outstanding ambassador for the region and for Wales.”
Bryn’s career has reached meteoric heights in recent years having starred in productions including Falstaff and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and performing at top opera houses worldwide.
But his career has its roots in competitions at the Urdd and National Eisteddfod as a schoolboy at Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle, Penygroes before moving on to study at the London Guildhall School of Music.
He graduated in 1989, winning both the Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Award and the Gold Medal.
Last September Bryn joined Andrea Bocelli in his concert in New York’s Central Park, performing for over 70,000 people. In December he opened the opera season in La Scala Milan in Don Giovanni.
Bryn is also a member of the Gorsedd of Bards and received the CBE in 2003.
Bryn is married to childhood sweetheart, Lesley. They have three children and live in Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon.
This is only the second occasion the University has awarded Honorary Doctorates. The first went to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir David Attenborough, Rhodri Morgan and Sir John Meurig Thomas to mark the University’s 125th Anniversary in 2009.

In another bout of saber rattling, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that Israel is planning on starting a war as early as this spring, according to a secret source secured by Tehran. “According to information we have they [Israel] are seeking to start a war next spring or summer, although their decision is not final yet,” Ahmadinejad said, “But the resistance and regional states will finish them if this fake regime does anything again.”
This announcement comes on the heels of a similar comment Ahmadinejad made to Syrian President Bashar Assad last Wednesday. Quoting another unnamed source, he told Assad: “We have reliable information…that the Zionist regime is after finding a way to compensate for its ridiculous defeats by the people of Gaza and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.” Ahmadinejad stressed that “[i]f the Zionist regime repeats its mistakes and initiate a military operation, then it must be resisted with full force to put an end to it once and for all.”
During a trip this week to Moscow to meet with Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Tehran’s war of words. In a press conference after a closed-door meeting, Netanyahu stated, “Israel is not planning any war, and continued Iranian claims to the contrary reflect Iranian concerns stemming from growing talks about international sanctions.” Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow is essential in the diplomatic effort to garner support for a new round of “sanctions with teeth.” Israel is also lobbying the Russians to cancel their arms sale to the Islamic Republic, which includes the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton continued her diplomatic mission to Saudi Arabia by giving a speech to Dar al-Hekmaan, a women’s college located in the port city of Jeddah. Clinton said, “If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, the hope [of a nuclear-free Middle East] disappears, because then other countries which feel threatened by Iran will say to themselves, ‘If Iran has a nuclear weapon, I better get one, too, in order to protect my people.’ Then you have a nuclear arms race in the region.” In other remarks this week, Secretary Clinton has argued that the Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is supplanting clerical and civilian rule in the Islamic Republic. The increasing control of the military establishment loyal to the regime worries Secretary Clinton, who fears that Iran is starting to resemble a military dictatorship more than a republic.
Whether or not Iran moves closer to republican government (via the Green Movement) or military dictatorship (via the IRGC, Quds Force, and Basij) is not written in stone. Middle East scholar Reuel Marc Gerecht said it best in an op-ed he wrote in the New York Times commemorating the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Republic:
A democratic revolution in Tehran could well prove the most momentous Mideastern event since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. A politically freer Iran would bring front and center the great Islamic debate of our times: How can one be both a good Muslim and a democrat? How does one pay homage to Islamic law but give ultimate authority to the people’s elected representatives? How can a Muslim import the best of the West without suffering debilitating guilt?

Let’s not be modest. With nearly 50 thousand NGO and government participants, the Fourth World Conference on Women qualified for the Guinness Book of Records as the largest number of women activists working together at any one place ever. If we had all jumped at once on Huairou ground, we might have knocked the earth out of its orbit.
The NGO Forum on Women began days before the official conference. For ten days, participants chose from 4,000 workshops and panels to attend. They joined in the daily plenaries that highlighted speeches from feminist activists and leaders. Plenary speakers rallied the crowds around global themes, such as political participation, religious freedom, economic justice, and violence against women. Tents for women to meet each other according to the world’s regions were the centers of networking and lobbying preparations.
Youths, the disabled, lesbians, and indigenous peoples had their own tents. Electronic technology was used effectively to link the Forum to the UN conference and to a global townhouse. There were more than 60,000 emails sent and received and around 100,000 visits to the NGO Forum website. (Imagine what that number would be if the UN conference happened today).
There was no doubt about it. In both virtual and real spaces, this was a global conference like no other. The international women’s movement in Beijing appeared stronger, more diverse, and more committed to influencing the UN than ever before. The interaction between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governments had passed many milestones since the first UN women’s conference in Mexico in 1975. From Copenhagen (1980) to Nairobi (1985), we saw the evolution of the NGO Forum from a rebel camp on the outskirts of the UN grounds to a legitimate partner inside the UN tent.
Global paradigms and international consciousness had also evolved. In the past two decades leading up to the NGO Forum, the women’s movement had branched out to take an active interest in major UN social development summits on population, poverty, racism, and the environment. International networks, working groups, and national women’s organizations had lobbied to bring a women’s agenda to the attention of world leaders. The political momentum of these meetings finally converged in Beijing. By then, the discourse had shifted from viewing women as victims to an assertion of women’s rights as fellow citizens.
The Huairou NGO Forum was a full partner with the official meeting more than any other UN conference. The success of the Fourth World Conference on Women depended on the strong interaction and mutual commitments between NGOs and governments. The NGO and government interaction shaped the political dynamics that led to a global consensus document known as the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA).
One critical point: the women’s conferences were not just events. They were highlights of a long political process which shifted its leadership from women of the North to women representing a global, regional-based movement. Nor was the BPfA just another UN document; what distinguished this lengthy paper from previous plans of action was the invisible transformation of the NGO-government political process that led to the compromises represented within the BPfA. The real Post-Beijing legacy was a structural change in the relationship of a social movement to the intergovernmental system.
The size, scope, and goals of the NGO Forum on Women presented new organizing challenges that required innovations in the broader organizational structure. To meet this challenge, Supatra Masdit and Irene Santiago, the Forum’s convener and executive director respectively, were determined to organize regional facilitating committees and coordinate these committees through a full-time secretariat in New York.
A critical factor leading to the success of the NGO Forum was the collaboration between the facilitating committee and a new NGO Forum Secretariat. While a handful of women had organized previous women’s conferences representing international NGOs and basing the meetings in the United States, this NGO Forum had roots throughout the world and was culturally diverse. Regional focal points, backed by representatives from the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations (COnGO), and the NGO Committees on the Status of Women worked with the New York Secretariat. With a Planning Committee of 200 organizations, these groups raised funds, organized the regional NGO Forums, helped coordinate the women’s caucuses, and provided technical support to the regions. A newsletter kept everyone informed and shared helpful guidelines on how to draft amendments to the official UN documents.
In New York, I joined a small team that constituted the Secretariat along with a dedicated group of volunteers and interns. My job was to liaise with the UN and help coordinate regional NGOs. Using the best of high-tech equipment and communications available at the time, our group was able to manage the complexities of a global conference. Most of us had left our own jobs to join the team. At the beginning, we did not realize that we had entered an endless maze of new challenges.
It all started smoothly. The 14-member NGO facilitating committee had returned from their first visit to China with a written agreement that guaranteed freedom of speech on NGO Forum grounds. With the site issue settled, we turned to the problem of raising our own funds, since the UN did not sponsor or fund the NGO Forum. There was reason to be upbeat here too. Many corporate, government, and UN funders and foundations generously contributed. The Chinese government agreed to provide the main logistical support in Beijing.
Then, things took a sharp turn for the worse. The Chinese organizers announced an abrupt change of venue that moved the location of the NGO Forum for Women away from the UN conference by a two-hour bus ride. The small town of Huairou, not Beijing, would host the world’s women movement—a move designed to limit the numbers of participants and the possibility of mass demonstrations in the streets. I remember the shocked look on Supatra Masdit’s face when she read the telegram from the All-China Women’s Federation announcing the change. She turned pale. The Chinese delegate who had brought the message looked even more distressed.
A flurry of global NGO protests and campaigns followed that mobilized and demonstrated the force of the women’s movement. Pressures on the UN and governments were persistent and widespread. Compromise was achieved.
On June 8, a new letter of agreement was signed. The Chinese organizers accepted a vastly increased number of participants, guaranteed a shuttle service and a satellite site near the UN conference center in Beijing. With barely two months left to organize the NGO Forum, we tossed out old maps and rushed to establish new ones. Hotel reservations changes and visas obstacles were only part of the confusion. It was clear to us that the real cost was being paid by the participants whose dreams were crumbling in a nightmare of logistics.
For the NGO Forum, the lives of organizers change completely. Sleep was what we did between crises, and insomnia took up the remaining time at night. What kept us going was the realization that thousands of women counted on us to stick together and work out problems with the Chinese organizers. All we had to do was keep a united front and hold the pieces together until the women of the world could arrive in Beijing to weave them together. So we did—and they did. Triumphantly.

The continued debates about the science of climate change are spirited, but those on either side are unlikely to see much humor in the exchanges. As it turns out, climate change and the environment can be a laughing matter—at least, at an absurd or satirical level. In her wide-ranging scholarly study, that’s where Nicole Seymour focuses her attention, analyzing films, television shows, literature, and performances that represent “bad environmentalism,” which she defines as “environmental thought that employs dissident, often-denigrated affects and sensibilities” to the current environmental crisis.
With a concentration on Western culture from the 1990s to the present, the works discussed range from broadly popular to obscure. Seymour thoroughly and carefully critiques each with an eye toward expanding the audience’s views of environmentalism. She does so by comparing and contrasting environmentally themed films, studying bizarre nature and wildlife programming including Wildboyz and Green Porno, and discussing the manner by which poetry, fiction, animation, and comedy take aim at environmentalism.
Perhaps the most startling aspect of the book is the relationship it reveals between environmentalism and sociopolitical factors. One chapter addresses “queer environmental performance” with the unusual examples of the Canadian Lesbian National Parks and Services and a US activist group, Queers for the Climate. Another highlights the sometimes uneasy associations of environmentalism with Native Americans and African Americans; as Seymour puts it, “sentimentalizing Native Americans and framing African Americans as ecophobic” serve as “distractions from the environmental injustices that both groups suffer in common.”
The book’s conclusion is as provocative as the book itself: that works representative of “bad environmentalism” are “important alternatives to the status quo” because they expose elements of environmentalism in a completely irreverent way. Exploring those derisive works is what makes Bad Environmentalism a unique book.

What is the difference between Mentoring, Executive Coaching, Peer Coaching & Coaching Supervision?
Most people understand what coaching and mentoring are and what it means to work with a coach or mentor in a professional partnership. These professions, and others like them, are so-called ‘helping Professions’. As such, you can expect to be guided, supported, motivated, advised, create goals, decide action-steps, kept accountable and challenged to differing degrees in each.
Mentoring focuses on improving core competencies. It often includes observation, recordings, assessments and feedback designed to improve skills. Mentoring is often a guiding role taken by older, more experienced, and perhaps more qualified, colleague to support junior colleagues. There is usually a hierarchy; a directive with feedback, knowledge-sharing and advice around pre-specified best practice.
Executive Coaching is structured around professional, developmental and organizational goals, leadership strategies, efficiency and action steps to take between sessions. Coaches won’t tell clients what to do or give advice. They work with clients to help them find their own answers within the system they work in and support them to stay accountable, challenged, resourced and motivated.
Peer Coaching means jut that; one coach being coached by another coach.
Supervision is the profession supporting these helping-professionals in supporting the people they are working with. Supervision began as a way of supporting therapists in their work, especially in dealing with difficult or ethical cases. Therapists moving into the world of coaching then looked around for the professional support, reflective learning and ethical sounding boards they were used to being regularly available and found nothing.
Coaching supervision developed into a separate, professional discipline for other helping professions, including counselling, mentoring, first response professionals and leadership. In fact, anyone whose profession is to help, guide and support others can benefit from supervision as its core role is to help us to notice, be curious and reframe the lenses we all see through differently. Supervision means paying attention to all that might be going on from the many perspectives beyond our subconscious lenses. We discover insights and learning from noticing small changes in ourselves; our discomforts, doubts and ‘off’ sensations and understanding them as hidden assumptions, lenses, expectations and beliefs, etc. In this way, we learn from what they have to show us about who we are and how this influences our thoughts, habits, relationships and how we ultimately work.
What makes a good coach, mentor or supervisor and how are they different from each other?
Good mentors don’t necessarily have a specific mentorship training or qualification although there are mentor training programs available. A good mentor usually has a senior / higher degree of experience, qualification and skill in the role that they support you with. A mentor coach will often also be a coach trainer or coach credentialing assessor and someone who knows specific, relevant core competencies inside-out. They will observe practice, offer feedback and stretch skills to a higher level.
Executive Coaches will have been through an ICF approved training program and have a qualification and experience to that effect. They will coach the client, but from a standpoint and experience of systems and organizational development. They will ask questions in order to help you discover your own, personalised goals, way forwards and action steps. They will be actively engaged in their own continued personal development and have regular supervision support.
Supervisors are also trained and experienced coaches before becoming coach supervisors. coaching supervision diploma training explores other specific areas not directly part of coaching skills development, yet critical for deeper reflection and learning (e.g., psychology, sociology and their core models, Transactional- and Transpersonal Analysis, neuroscience, deeper inquiry, organizational development, personalities and relational coaching, quantum physics and perspectives, etc.) Supervisors will have a coaching diploma plus a specific supervision diploma. They will have their own, regular supervision, be actively engaged in continued personal development in coaching and supervision and have their position reviewed yearly by governing bodies.
Why is Supervision important, yet misunderstood?
Supervision is an unfortunate word. It has top-down, controlling-boss undertones and can sound as if its intention is to monitor, judge and measure. The best way to get beyond this feeling, and to understand the key importance of regular supervision is to separate the words out into Super-Vision. This is a more accurate way to explain what supervision is all about.
What we are unaware of, controls us.
What we are aware of, is under our control.
When we are in control, we are responsible for the informed choices we make.
Super-vision begins with where you are right now and invites you to look above, behind, below and beyond with curiosity. It is a relationship of equals in a safe, reflective space and time. The learning experience is co-created with the intention of enhancing your view and understanding of yourself as a human-being. We all have blind, deaf and dumb spot, but rarely notice the unconscious effect they have on us, others and how we work. Super-vision is ultimately about being human and being curious around all that being human means for our work and maintaining our own effectiveness, ethics and equilibrium. Super-vision resources you in order to learn from-, and stay emotionally energized by, the demands of your profession.
We all need guides to mentor us, but there’s only so much we can learn from how other people do things. Coaching is a powerful and supportive medium for growth and development, but how many leaders, for example, benefit from adding yet another action step to our already overflowing to-do list? How many coaches and leaders want to admit to another coach or colleague that a situation is leaving them feeling inadequate, stuck or exhausted and they don’t know what else to try?
Super-vision is also designed to maintain and develop professional standards, quality and ethics, but this does not come from being audited and judged, rather from noticing, reframing and learning from situations, especially the sticky, difficult ones. It is a time and place for safe, non-judgmental reflective conversations, somewhere to talk through tough ethical dilemmas, boundary management, confidentiality or contractual issues, difficult relationships or critical situations. It is a real relief to have a safe and supportive space to say out loud the things on your mind knowing that anything said will never be used as ‘evidence against you,’ but rather as informative data to learn and grow our understanding, awareness, control and choice from.

Making and serving pasteles at Christmas time is a Puerto Rican tradition. It's hard work, but well worth the effort. Get together a bunch of friends and make a day of it. Be sure to make enough for everyone to take home.
There are as many pastele recipes as there are cooks. This recipe is my own, based on my likes and dislikes. You can always add or take away ingredients to meet your preferences.
For wrapping you will need 40 banana leaves (cut into approx. 10 inch x 5 inch rectangles), 20 pieces of parchment paper (cut into approx. 8 inch x 4 inch rectangles) and 20 pieces of kitchen string (cut into 18-inch lengths).
- 2 pounds diced pork
- 4 ajíces dulces (small sweet peppers)
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablesoons recaito
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon adobo
- 1 tablespoons oregano (dry flakes)
- 1 bay leaf
- Masa Dough:
- 4 pounds yautía
- 6 green bananas
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon achiote oil (or enough to reach desired consistency)
Part 1 - Make the Stuffing
- Brown the pork pieces in a pan.
- Add the rest of the stuffing ingredients.
- Cook until the pork is no longer pink inside.
- Set aside and let cool.
Part 2 - Make the Masa Dough
- In a large bowl, peel and grate the yautía and the green bananas together.
- Stir in the salt and enough achiote oil to moisten the dough and add a little color. You are now ready to assemble and wrap the pasteles.
Part 3 - Wrap the Pasteles
- Set the dough aside and prepare a work surface to assemble and wrap the pasteles. If you have friends helping you, set up an assembly line.
- See the step-by-step guide to assembling and wrapping pasteles. For each pastele, lay out a piece of parchment paper, topped with one piece of banana leaf. Brush with achiote oil and add 1 1/2 to 2 spoonfuls of masa into the center of the leaf. Add one spoonful of meat into the center and top with another spoonful of masa. Brush a second banana leaf with oil and place the oiled side down on top of the masa. Bring the top and bottom edges of the parchment paper over the top, fold or roll down the edges to make a horizontal seam. Tuck the ends under. Tie with a string.in both directions.
- Set aside the pasteles you are going to eat right away. You can freeze the rest.
Part 4 - Cook the Pasteles
- Bring a stock pot of salted water to a boil. There should be enough water to cover the pasteles.
- Boil the pasteles for 1 hour.
- Unwrap the pasteles before serving.

Lee County deputy remembered
LEE COUNTY: A motorcade stretched about 1/2 mile down Colonial before pulling into Fort Myers Memorial Gardens for the burial of Lee County Deputy Dale Conn.
The memorial brought together hundreds of law enforcement officers throughout the area to pay their final respects.
The loved husband, father and grandfather died on duty from a heart attack while serving papers in the civil division.
Despite attempts to revive him, the 61 year-old veteran law enforcement officer never woke up.
"My dad Dale Conn was truly a phenomenal human being- he loved his kids, he loved his family- he loved being a deputy sheriff," his son Craig Conn said.
Deputy Conn received a full-honors service, including the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, and a helicopter flyover.

MASERU — Opposition parties have accused the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of tinkering with the new electoral boundaries in its delimitation exercise in favour of the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) party.
The parties say the constituencies were redrawn to ensure the LCD remains in power after the 2012 general election.
A consultant hired by the IEC for the delimitation exercise never consulted them before and after the process, the opposition parties allege.
This, they say, resulted in a report that shows that the 80 constituency boundaries had been manipulated to help the ruling party win the 2012 polls.
The delimitation exercise was funded by the United Nations Development Programme.
The report released last Thursday shows that some villages have been moved to other constituencies after boundaries were redrawn.
Constituencies have also been moved to other districts while others have been renamed or dissolved altogether.
All Basotho Convention (ABC) leader Thomas Thabane told the Lesotho Times yesterday that the IEC had distorted the constituencies.
The result, Thabane said, were constituencies that look like they had been deliberately manipulated in favour of the LCD.
The ABC is Lesotho’s biggest opposition party in terms of parliamentary seats.
Thabane said the constituencies were not re-demarcated according the social cohesion of people living in them.
“The delimitation was supposed to have been done with consideration of the common interests of people living in those constituencies,” he said.
“But the IEC could not do that because it just employed its consultant who did not even bother to get our opinions,” he said, adding that “their consultant goes around carrying laptops as if computers make constituencies”.
“Because the consultant based himself on numbers and his computers’ abilities instead of talking to the people he has messed up the constituencies.”
Thabane accused the IEC of “directly working” for the LCD to advance its interests.
“I do not accept the IEC’s report because we were never consulted,” he said. “One can now see that we are planning an election that is meant to be won by the LCD.”
The Lesotho Workers Party (LWP) deputy leader, Sello Maphalla, said although the delimitation is a constitutional requirement he suspected foul play by the IEC.
He said the IEC “deliberately split the Ha-’Malesaoana village in Hlotse with the sole purpose of separating the community that has the same interests between the two constituencies of Hlotse and Mohobollo”.
“Any candidate supported by the Ha-’Malesaoana community is sure to win elections in Hlotse,” Maphalla said.
“This split is unfair to the villagers.”
The Marematlou Freedom Party (MFP) leader, Moeketse Malebo, said the delimitation is a good thing if done in good faith but “I can trust nobody in this system”.
“It’s quite clear you can trust nobody in this country,” Malebo said.
The IEC spokesperson, Tuoe Hantsi, said it was unfair for the politicians to attack the report when they were consulted during the process.
“They have always been invited to participate at every step taken before and during review process,” Hantsi said.
“No, they are being unfair.”
He said representatives of political parties were called to a workshop last September to discuss the delimitation exercise. The report says so as well.
But Thabane has labelled this “a lie” saying at no time did the IEC invite political parties to discuss the issue.
The report says 42 representatives of political parties, two from each party, were invited to a stakeholders’ workshop in September last year.
The delimitation has resulted in the dissolution of the Thaba-Ts’oeu constituency in Mafeteng district.
Also a new constituency, Thetsane, has been formed in Maseru.
The IEC has removed the Mabote constituency from the Maseru district and shifted to the Berea district after it was realised that it had always been wrongly counted among the Maseru constituencies. (See story on page 2 for more constituency boundary changes)

How to break the cycle of unconscious bias in the workplace
They say a first impression is a lasting one. However, it is the lasting ideas, formed in our unconscious minds that make the biggest impression. While silent snap-judgements may appear to be relatively harmless, they can gradually feed into recruitment and our capacity to cultivate an inclusive and diverse workspace. Whether it’s the faces in the boardroom, the gender of the CEO, or the age of your superior, our unconscious biases will dictate who we perceive in these roles: we’ve seen them before we’ve met them; we’ve hired them in our heads; we’ve heard them speak before they’ve uttered a word. Furthermore, when our preconceived ideas are reflected back at us, it may even appear to validate them; creating a vicious cycle where our biases are continually reaffirmed. So how do we break this cycle? And how do we actively ensure that our workplaces aren’t unwittingly built on bias?
Unconscious bias is our mind’s response to the 11 million pieces of information it receives per second. While we’re able to understand about 50 of them, only 7 are remembered in the short-term. As our survival is predicated on filtering the vast amounts of information we constantly receive, our unconscious mind will make a series of quick decisions based on bias rather than reality. These biases are longstanding and were formed by our unconscious mind creating patterns and categories from our life experiences and the media we’ve been exposed to. Put simply, prejudice is hard-wired into us and is so instinctive, irrational and insidious that we barely even recognise it.
Our unconscious biases run the risk of completely overlooking the diverse voices and experiences that drive creativity. If we have an inbuilt tendency to surround ourselves with people who look and sound like ourselves, the friction required to challenge old ideas and generate new ones will be completely absent. Meanwhile, if we’re promoting the same faces and ignoring diverse voices, we will only cultivate a divided workplace. If unconscious bias is driving our recruitment decisions and ideas of leadership, how can we create an inclusive working environment? How do we prevent our obscured worldview from being replicated in the workplace?
Objective decision making
Unconscious bias is formed by our subjective experiences and implemented by swift decision-making based on gut reactions. Therefore, mitigating it will largely depend on some much-needed objectivity and our ability to slow down the decision-making process. We must initially accept that we are all governed by inbuilt prejudice. Once we understand that our worldview may not necessarily be an accurate one, we will be in a position to create the language needed to define our biases and to discuss them. We may then be prepared to pause before making quick fire decisions and to seek a second opinion from someone whose experiences differ from ours.
Celebrate well-represented media
The media informs our perceptions. Consequently, avoiding any media that reinforces our biases will help us to reinterpret our worldview. This can also be applied to the workplace through book clubs or group film reviews that focus on work by diverse artists. Group activities will also help to expand your employees’ networks and to create an atmosphere of openness across your organisation.
Silos are synonymous with a divided workspace, and eliminating bias is central to promoting inclusiveness. However, your approach cannot be a tokenistic, PR gesture driven by the current political climate: employees will always see through a superficial attempt to create a collaborative culture. However, a data-driven system that can pinpoint where the silos lie will enable you to directly engage with employees on the periphery of your organisation. A key aspect of reducing bias is to encourage communications between people from different backgrounds.
Unconscious bias in the workplace is our unwitting attempt to mould an organisation in our own image. However, that image doesn’t have to remain a negative one. If we can recognise our biases, we may then be able to recognise them in others and effect change across our organisation rather than just in ourselves. Understanding why we thought a certain way and how we changed will enable us to influence more people for the better. A renewed perspective doesn’t just create great leadership and organisations, but also, fantastic mentors.
Grasp enables you to evaluate the level of inclusivity in your organisation, and to bring people from different ages, backgrounds, races and abilities together for mentoring opportunities and cross-company collaborations. If you can create diverse mentors and mentees across your organisation, you’ll have the capacity to uproot your company’s culture and to build a new, unbiased mindset for the next generation of employees.

Heart to Heart with Adele: Checkups for children’s mental health
My former husband is telling me our school age daughter is experiencing a mental health issue and that she wants to talk to a counsellor. I am unsure about how to handle this, as she has not expressed that desire to me. I do not want to over react but also want to keep the peace in my co-parenting arrangement with my daughter’s father. Ideas?
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Dear Between a Rock and a Hard Place,
Adults who are co-parenting, regularly have extra challenges doing what is best for their cherished children. It sounds like you have a fairly decent communicative relationship with your ‘Ex’, which is always preferable in such family arrangements.
I suggest that you discuss further with your child’s dad, out of earshot of your daughter, at a time when both of you have no other distractions, pending commitments or stressful situations needing attention at the time. Try to get a handle on the reason your ‘Ex’ wants to engage a counsellor, the situations that led up to that idea, his suggestions for finding and paying an excellent therapist, and who should initiate finding a resource and when.
You need not be concerned about using a counsellor for your child or yourself. People often make a very big deal about checking in for a tune up on their marriage or about a problem in their own lives or the lives of their kids, which is really quite unfounded. Competent therapists or counsellors are there to help you sort out problems and bounce around solutions. The client does the legwork and makes all the decisions. A counsellor is merely ‘the guide on the side’ who asks questions and focuses thinking, so the client can become a better problem solver going forward. Your child will likely come out of a few sessions with a therapist stronger, more capable of insightful thinking and more capable of solid, confident, independent, rational decision making.
Once you and your child’s dad are both on the same page regarding the decision to go ahead and explore your daughter’s concerns with a professional, everything else should fall into place fairly easily.
Free counsellors of great skill are available very fast on a walk in basis at most community centres or family service centres, like the Jewish Family Services of Ottawa. This one is a non profit, non sectarian source of counselling services. After three sessions a prorated cost will apply. Qualified personnel can be chosen from a long roster of seasoned professionals for a longer term intervention. These costs are regularly offset through insurance benefits, if you have them.
Paid private professionals who are doctors, psychologists, social workers and therapists with other kinds of training are abundant in Ottawa, as well. They usually can be engaged fairly quickly. Word of mouth can often lead you to a good one, as can your family doctor or school professionals, who can suggest someone experienced and well respected. You will have to pay the costs out of pocket, so this option may not be on the table for your family. Crossroads Children’s Mental Health Services is one of which I am aware and can recommend.
The Ontario Health Care System has some amazing people too, such as psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, who are covered or largely covered financially by OHIP, but the wait times can be extremely frustrating. I have heard the wait time to get help for such a referral to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, has been over one year for some time now, with no guarantee you will get someone to see you or your child more than a handful of times. Once in the door, however, the services there are excellent.
Both major Ottawa school boards employ professionals who may be available to see your child. Check this option out with the principal in your youngster’s school, as well. Services will likely be cost free. Expect a long wait though, as many children need help and resources are often pretty thin.
I suggest you start with a free one session option and see what that professional thinks about intervention possibilities which might be needed. One or two sessions might clear up the problem or point the way forward. The counsellor seen will have plenty of experience to make the call, I suspect.
Stay chill! Most of us need a bit of help along life’s journey. More of us should get it when it is one issue, quite small and manageable, and when the solutions are numerous or fairly simple. Many folk wait, and wait , and wait until their mole hill is a mountain, and Dr. Phil himself along with the help of Pope Francis would be hard pressed to know what to do.
Help yourself, your ‘Ex’ and your daughter have the conversation that makes a mental health concern, as discussed and acceptable, as a physical health concern such as the common cold. Remember, seeing a counsellor is not a big deal!
I'm looking forward to your questions! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.org and please put Heart to Heart in the subject line. Note that all columns will remain anonymous.

When I first tell people that I’m a librarian, I’m often asked about what the profession is like in the digital age. This probably won’t come as a surprise, but people sometimes have a difficult time imagining just what it is that I do now that “the books are gone.” For starters, the books aren’t gone and libraries are still and have always been about information. Despite the changes that the library has encountered in the centuries since Alexandria, there is one thing that stands out in my mind when I think about the mission of libraries –
This past week I attended the Texas Library Association Conference and caught this nugget from author David Baldacci’s speech during the General Session,
“With rising illiteracy rates comes increased inequality.”
It reminded me of the role that libraries play in providing equality within the information landscape. Baldacci highlights the level of inequality that is experienced by those who are unable to read. A person who is not able to read is at a significant disadvantage in our information culture that relies heavily on the written word. But what about those who can read and aren’t able to access the information? They also are find themselves on an unlevel playing field when it comes to making life decisions and engaging with the world around them. I would add to Baldacci’s statement in saying that with limited access to information comes increased inequality.
Libraries attempt to stand in the gap to provide access to information for all regardless of race, gender, or income level.
The American Library Association advocates for information access and makes strong statements about the library’s call to providing “equity of access” to its patrons.
“Equity of access means that all people have the information they need-regardless of age, education, ethnicity, language, income, physical limitations or geographic barriers. It means they are able to obtain information in a variety of formats-electronic, as well as print. It also means they are free to exercise their right to know without fear of censorship or reprisal.”
As a Christian and as a librarian, I consider my role in working to provide this access to information as a high calling on my life. Librarian and author Gregory A. Smith highlights the core values of Christian librarians in light of the biblical commandments to love. In his essay, Smith discusses several different virtues of librarianship that use Jesus’ teachings about love to provide a framework for library service. Smith uses Jesus’ call to us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,” as confirmation that God intends for us to continue to grow throughout our lives in each “facet of our personality.” Smith suggests that this command to continue in all aspects of our growth has implications for librarians –
“We are called to provide access to information so as to lead our patrons to well-being in every area of life–physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.”
So when I’m asked about the library “since books” or if I think we will be able to continue our mission into the 21st century, I try to respond by talking about information access. While illiteracy is still certainly a recognized barrier to equality, the evolving information landscape comes with its own hurdles for access.
But everything is free now since we’ve got the internet, right?
Since I entered the profession in the late 2000s (and probably years before that) we have been talking about the digital divide. According to the 2013 American Community Survey, 16% of American households do not have a computer at home (desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone) and one quarter of Americans do not have any form of internet access at home. Some may say that 16% and 25% aren’t terrible numbers when it comes to digital access to information – that’s unless of course you happen to find yourself within the 16 or 25%. Access continues to be a problem despite and because of the digitization of information.
Access and equality go hand in hand. Libraries still have a place in today’s world and as librarians we have a call to continue to provide our users with access to information be it print, digital, or otherwise.

If your teenager has experienced a loss, you might not know exactly how to help him or her come to terms with it. You already know that everyone experiences grief differently, but teenagers also grieve differently from adults. Where you might expect certain behaviors and emotions from yourself or an adult in your life, those expectations could be misplaced when it comes to your teen. Here is some information on how experiencing grief as a teen vs as an adult differs and tips on how you can help your teen through the grieving process.
Teens Often Have Different Type of Events to Grieve
One consideration to keep in mind is that the types of events that teens grieve can differ from those that adults tend to grieve. This impacts the grieving process.
Romantic Breakups – For example, teens often deeply grieve romantic breakups. While adults also do this, teenagers tend to have more breakups over a shorter period of time than most adults. Whereas adults often move slowly into relationships and would not have a strong reaction to ending a potential relationship after a month or two, teenagers do not have a similar perspective and can take the breakups of a two-week relationship very hard. It’s important to take this seriously.
Death of a Family Member – When it comes to the death of older family members, consider also that while you might be experiencing grief after the loss of your parent, you have probably also lost your grandparents and some other relatives and friends. If your teenager is just now experiencing his or her first loss with the death of your parent, it could hit them very hard.
Death of a Friend – Teens also might lose a friend to an accident, an illness, or a suicide. While losing a friend is painful at any age, it’s particularly tragic and often shocking when it’s a very young person. A teen who loses a friend in an automobile accident, for example, will likely be dealing with strong feelings of shock, denial, and other emotions that an adult losing an adult friend might not experience as strongly.
Teens Can Find It Harder to Express Feelings and Accept Help
Teenagers often feel the need to have others think that everything is under control at all times. This can lead to them not being comfortable expressing feelings of sadness, hurt, or anger. This can be particularly true for boys, who might be under the impression that it’s not cool or manly to show strong feelings. Bottling up their feelings can cause a teen to develop depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
It’s also often hard for teenagers who are experiencing grief to ask for and accept help from their friends. Many are afraid that their friends will mock them for having strong feelings. Others just don’t want their friends to know that they have it all together.
If your teenager is having trouble with his or her grief, a counselor can sometimes help them open up and relieve some of the internal pressure. If he or she won’t open up to you and does not want to talk to a counselor or a therapist, another adult might be able to help. Encourage your teen to talk to a coach, a teacher, or a favorite aunt or uncle. Also, spending time together, even if the goal is not to talk about the loss, can help a teen open up.
Teens Are More Likely to Act Out
One danger that teens might be more likely to encounter than adults are is that experiencing grief can lead to drinking, taking drugs, and other self-destructive behaviors. While this can happen to adults as well, teens can be more susceptible simply because they lack the coping skills that many adults develop over time. As a parent, it’s important that you are vigilant for signs that your teenager is turning to substances to ease his or her pain.
Your teen might also engage in unsafe sex, let his or her grades fall, and engage in other behaviors that seem unrelated to the grieving process. These can also be signs of depression and anxiety, so try to keep the lines of communication open with your teen to help you discern what’s going on. Also, don’t be afraid to take him or her to the doctor for an evaluation if you see signs that worry you.
Teens Might Experience the Stages of Grief Differently
Most people go through some form of the five stages of grief.
1. Denial – The first is shock and denial, and this might be particularly strong for teenagers, particularly when it’s a young, healthy person who died. In addition to denying to themselves that the friend has died, your teen might deny that he or she needs help or is experiencing strong feelings. Your teen might seem to simply go on with life as usual as though nothing has happened, going out with friends and not wanting to talk about the loss.
2. Anger – The second stage is anger. This can manifest in teens in a variety of ways, from disrespect to violent behavior.
3. Bargaining – The third stage, bargaining, could make your teen more spiritual. He or she might want to visit a church or change churches. They might also dabble in spiritual practices that are very different from what they were brought up with.
4. Depression – The fourth stage, depression and sadness, might be hard to see in a teen who is trying hard not to show his or her feelings. Alternatively, your teen might spiral into a deep depression.
5. Acceptance – The last stage, acceptance, might come sooner or later than you might expect from an adult. It’s important to understand that these stages might not occur in order and that grieving is a two-steps-forward, one-step-back process in many cases.
If your teen is experiencing grief, helping him or her deal with it takes patience and, sometimes, a willingness to involve others to help with grief and loss treatment. Let your son or daughter know that you are there and that you want to help. Don’t be afraid to seek outside assistance from a guidance counselor, a therapist, or a family doctor. With your help, your teen will get through his or her grief and will be able to move on, having developed skills in coping with grief that will benefit them during adulthood.

The government will support the establishment and operation of four biotechnology funds in an effort to build a thriving local biotechnology industry and attract investments in Israel, the Finance Ministry announced Thursday.
The pre-qualification process for participation in the government-backed biotechnology fund tender has been completed, it said in a statement.
The public-private program is a joint initiative by the Finance Ministry, the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry and the Chief Scientist’s Office.
The tender committee has allowed four funds that have met the threshold conditions to take part, instead of the three originally planned, the statement said.
Some of the funds have international experience and are familiar with the local market, the Finance Ministry said. The funds taking part in the government-supported initiative are expected to create new partnerships between local industry and US industry, it said.
According to reports in the Hebrew press, US health-care investment firm Orbimed Advisors LLC and Medica Venture Partners, a globally operating health-care and life-sciences venture-capital fund that invests in Israel, Europe and the US, are two of the funds.
Israeli expertise in biotechnology is among the highest in the world. However, in industrial terms, local biotech companies have not matured to the point of becoming an industry.
Due to the relatively long life cycle of biotechnology investments and the “high-risk/high-reward” nature of these investments, local venture-capital funds, institutional investors and other local investors have largely refrained from making investments in this area.
This problem has grown more severe because of the global financial crisis, as investment funds invest in more-mature companies for shorter periods, so that biotech companies – which tend to require long-term investments – have a hard time finding sources of financing from these funds.
In order to close this funding gap, which has stymied the growth of the
local biotechnology industry, the government has decided to subsidize
funding efforts and thereby encourage Israeli biomedical companies to
stay in the country, rather than being sold at an early stage to
Under the terms of the tender, the government will provide the four
funds in the pre-qualification process with $24 million each, on the
condition that they each raise $76m. in financing.
The decision to extend the tender to four funds increases the
government’s commitment to nearly $100m., from the originally planned
$80m., and will leverage the program’s total funding to $400m. In
addition, the government will award the fund that raises the most
financing with an additional bonus of $8m.

Europe faces – together with the rest of the world – a frightening economic and financial crisis. How will this affect the EU itself? Will it lead to further integration or disintegration? How will it influence the June elections to the European Parliament?
Paradoxically, EU citizens recognize that none of the major challenges facing their countries (economic recession, climate change, terrorism…) can be met at national level alone. And yet the EU is generally unpopular.
The principal blame for this falls upon Member State leaders who take the credit for successes and blame ‘Brussels’ for failures; and do not explain the value of the EU. The European institutions do not help in the way they frequently behave and badly communicate.
There is also a lack of understanding between what the EU can and does do, and what the Member States do collectively. The Commission has a leading role in the former and only a coordinating role in the latter. What is publicly perceived as EU ineffectiveness is so often in fact the failure of the 27 Member States to work effectively together, bearing in mind that unanimity is required where the Union does not have direct competence.
The national leaders are not working satisfactorily together in order to cope with economic recession, foreign policy, global warming and energy security, to mention only three policy areas. And yet, the public perception is that the EU itself is failing.
It is natural therefore to believe that the economic and financial crisis will weaken the Union and lead to economic disintegration. However, there is another view.
While the US and China are also tackling the crisis at national level, an increasing body of opinion is calling out for a global approach As Philip Stephens puts it, “A crisis of global capitalism has thrown up a crisis of global politics.” “[O]nly good politics has the capacity to clear up the mess left by bad economics.”Author : Stanley Crossick

Starchless depositing is a cutting-edge manufacturing technique in the confectionery industry that has revolutionized the way various types of candies and sweets are produced. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on starch molds, starchless depositing offers several advantages in terms of efficiency, precision, and product quality.
At its core, starchless depositing involves the precise deposition of liquid or semi-liquid candy masses into specific shapes and sizes, without the need for starch molds. This technique is typically employed for the production of a wide range of confectionery products, including gummies, jellies, and soft chews.
Here are some key benefits of starchless depositing:
- Enhanced Product Quality: Starchless depositing allows for greater control over the production process, resulting in candies with consistent size, shape, and texture. This level of precision is challenging to achieve with traditional starch molding.
- Reduced Waste: Starch molds are often single-use, leading to significant waste in terms of materials and resources. Starchless depositing reduces waste by eliminating the need for starch molds, making it a more sustainable option.
- Versatility: Manufacturers can easily adjust the depositing process to create a wide variety of candy shapes and sizes. This flexibility enables the production of unique and customized confectionery products.
- Improved Efficiency: Starchless depositing systems are highly automated, allowing for higher production speeds and reduced labor costs. This efficiency can lead to cost savings for manufacturers.
- Hygienic Production: Starchless depositing equipment is designed with cleanliness and hygiene in mind. This reduces the risk of contamination and ensures compliance with food safety standards.
- Faster Setup and Changeovers: Switching between different candy types or flavors is quicker and more straightforward with starchless depositing, making it easier for manufacturers to meet market demands for product variety.
While starchless depositing offers numerous advantages, it also requires significant investment in specialized equipment and training. However, many confectionery companies view this investment as worthwhile due to the improved quality, efficiency, and sustainability it brings to their production processes.
In conclusion, starchless depositing has emerged as a game-changing technology in the confectionery industry, offering numerous benefits over traditional starch molding methods. This innovative approach to candy production enables manufacturers to create high-quality products with greater precision, efficiency, and versatility while also reducing waste and improving overall production hygiene.

Trump's Bill Clinton problem
Not since the Bill Clinton sex scandals of the 1990s has the national conversation focused on a president's personal life on so many fronts so often.
And not since the 1990s has sex been part of a federal investigation stirring calls for impeachment: Kristin Davis, known as the "Manhattan Madam" for the high-end prostitution ring she ran in the 2000s, says Robert Mueller's prosecutors have notified her that he wants to interview her — probably about her close friend, Roger Stone, she tells the WashPost.
Karen McDougal, the former Playmate who claims she had an affair with Trump, will stay in the news now that the FBI has a recording Michael Cohen secretly made of Trump, then his client, discussing payments to her.
- Trump tweeted yesterday that the tape is "perhaps illegal" — which, as the N.Y. Times put it, "signaled open warfare on Mr. Cohen."
And there may be a lot more revelations: Jonathan Swan, reporting yesterday that Michael Cohen has begun privately questioning Trump's fitness to be president, points out: "The question of what Cohen knows about Trump is now a far more compelling question than it was in the days when Cohen would tell anybody who'd listen that he'd take a bullet ... for his boss."
- The porn star Stormy Daniels, in a blitz orchestrated by lawyer Michael Avenatti, has filed suits accusing Trump of defamation and Cohen of collusion after the lawyer paid her $130,000 just before the election in order to keep her quiet about an alleged affair with Trump.
- A BBC documentary airing in the U.S. this weekend — called "Trump: Is the President a Sex Pest?," a British terms for a harasser — reports a claim that Trump once told a 17-year-old model when he was pursuing her: “Oh, great. So you’re not too old and not too young. That’s just great.”
Be smart: Beyond the morality tale, do any of these sexual transgressions hurt Trump, politically? No evidence they have so far. Truth is, they will only hurt if they lead to legal and impeachment action against Trump.

Barrow Up Bob
Another toy, along the theme of buckaroo, that is aimed at young Bob The Builder fans.
This toy costs around £10-£15 and is suitable for children of 3 years and upwards. It is best played with 2 players.
As I said, it is similar to Buckaroo. You get two sets of small plastic tools, in red and yellow and a Bob figure, holding a wheelbarrow that is designed to randomly flip up when the tools are added to it. the aim of the game being to not be the person who makes the wheelbarrow flip up.
How to play
- Set up the Bob and Wheelbarrow by pressing the top part of the barrow down, it should click into place. There is a bit of a knack to this and I actually found it difficult, my 3 year old son certainly cannot set this game up by himself (not that I would expect him to!).
- Each player has one set of tools in either red or yellow and takes it in turn to place one gently in the barrow.
- The player who places the piece that sets off the barrow is the loser.
Although this says 3 and up I feel that a 3 year old is a little young for this, it requires a lot of patience and of course getting small children to take turns nicely is always difficult! If you were to buy this for a 4 or 5 year old I would say that'd be about right.
I don't really like childrens games that have a loser rather than a winner, I find the children don't enjoy it as much and the incentive of winning isn't there. It's a harder concept to explain to very young children and seems rather harsh (guess I'm a bit of a softie!).
Setting up the game is quite fiddly and the pieces are very small so may get lost/broken easily.
A nice alternative to this is Pop Up Pirate as you can play that with 4 people and you can can change the rules for young children so that the person who pops up the pirate wins. We have both games and my boys (not to mention myself and my husband) prefer the Pop Up Pirate game. My 2 and 3 year old enjoy it and it's a game we can play as a family.
