Stories relating to Krishna’s life and pastimes are found in various Vedic kinds of literature, with each focusing on particular aspects of the Lord’s life. This book is a summary study of the tenth canto of the Shrimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana), focusing mainly on the Lord’s birth, childhood activities, and several incidents from His adult life. A mixture of translations and purports, Prabhupada tells the story of Krishna’s life in a manner easily accessible to anyone, whether they be an advanced devotee or one who knows nothing about Krishna.

Plaque providing information relating to the statue of Prince Albert in Queen's Square, Sydney.

 

Queen's Square is a public square in central Sydney, Australia. It is located at the junction of King Street with Phillip Street and Macquaire Street. It is bounded on the south by St James Road and Prince Albert Road.

 

Arranged around Queen's Square, clockwise from the north, are the Law Courts Building, the Sydney Mint, Hyde Park Barracks, the Land Titles Office, Hyde Park, St James' Church, and Sydney Law School. These buildings, other than the Law Courts Building and Sydney Law School, are all heritage-listed constructions, mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Square is the location of two statues. One, of Queen Victoria, stands on the south-western corner, and faces northward towards the Law Courts building. The other, of Prince Albert, stands on the south-eastern corner, and faces across Macquarie Street towards the statue of the Queen.

Could Your Clothes Affect Your Work Performance?

 

Have you ever considered the possibility that what you wear affects the way you act and perform? Maybe you have heard about this relating to sports, but in reality, it goes far beyond sports into our daily lives and the work place. Just think back to a day when you’ve chosen to lounge around the house in your pajamas all day and compare it to a day when you intentionally dressed well. How were those days different?

   

While not everyone is going to be affected in the same way, there are a number of ways that what you wear can affect your behavior and overall performance: your clothing can have power over your mind. In this article, we’ll be primarily focusing on how your clothes affect your work performance.

 

More Confidence

 

We’ve undoubtedly heard plenty about how your appearance affects the perception others have of you. But could it affect the perception you have of yourself? The simple answer is yes. Not only does dressing well for your work improve how others perceive you, but it increases your own confidence as well. You can use your clothing as a tool to help you take ownership of your job and do it with confidence.

 

More Authoritative

 

You have probably noticed how people are more likely to trust someone that is dressed appropriately for the work that they do. Whether that means they are wearing a uniform, or otherwise dressed to match the profession they are in, they are more likely to be respected. Simply wearing the right clothing can empower someone to be more authoritative in their position and take ownership.

 

More Motivation and Productivity

 

I don’t know about you, but I think I would have a hard time being as motivated to do my work well if I came to work every day in my pajamas. The way you dress for your job can affect how motivated you are to work and therefore also affect how productive you are. If you look the part, you’re more likely to feel the part and will have a greater drive to do what you are supposed to do.

 

More Professionalism

 

Again, if you look the part, it’s going behave accordingly. When you dress professionally (in alignment with your profession), you will more than likely act more like a professional in your industry. You may notice that because you look more capable and qualified, you feel that way as well. Also, the way you dress for your work can raise the standard of how you choose to behave in different scenarios. You may be more conscious of the fact that you are representing a company and will want to represent them well.

 

More Focus

 

Being appropriately dressed for the job could actually increase your focus. If you are wearing something that makes you feel like you should be lounging in your home, it may be more challenging to put your full focus into your work.

 

What Is Appropriate Depends on Your Workplace

 

Obviously, what you wear to work is going to depend on your job. While professional business attire is appropriate and even expected for some workplaces, it wouldn’t make sense at all in another profession, such as construction.

 

When a company determines what their employees can and should wear to the workplace, here are a few things they should consider:

 

Could this help our employees feel more confident and professional in what they do?

 

Will what they wear help our employees feel proud of representing our company?

 

What kind of atmosphere are we trying to set?

 

What kind of interaction do we have with customers and how do we want them to perceive us?

 

Can the work attire expectations we set help boost overall employee moral or will it feel like a discouraging aspect of the job?

 

Can our employees comfortably and effectively do their work while wearing what we’ve asked them to wear?

 

Just like wearing nice gym clothing can help people feel more sporty and motivated to exercise, the clothing people wear for the workplace will affect how they perform. If you are concerned that too casual attire could result in a lazy work attitude, you may want to change your requirements. For others, such as the hospitality industry, a casual and friendly atmosphere is exactly what they want to set so more casual attire is appropriate.

 

Taking This to Another Level

 

I think we’ve said what we’ve wanted to say: yes, in many cases, clothes affect your work performance.

 

Are uniforms part of your company’s clothing requirements? One way you can help increase confidence for your employees is to provide quality, custom uniforms that they will be proud to wear. Having your logo embroidered or screen printed on quality materials is a great way to provide your employees with uniforms they can appreciate while at the same time promote your brand.

20th March 2024

 

Read the report and its recommendations in full here.

 

The Committee recommends that the Government introduces legislation allowing for assisted dying, in certain restricted circumstances as set out in the recommendations in this report.

 

The remit of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying was to consider and make recommendations for legislative and policy change relating to a legal right to assist a person to end their life and a legal right to receive such assistance.

 

The Committee also agreed that it could recommend that no legislative or policy changes be made. It has looked at the topic of assisted dying in general, rather than at draft legislation.

 

The Committee was established in early 2023 to consider and make recommendations for legislative and policy change related to a statutory right to assist a person to end their life and a statutory right to receive such assistance.

 

The Committee Members did not agree on any one form of wording on the topic, so the terms of assisted suicide and euthanasia are also used. The Committee recognises that the use of certain terms is contested.

 

Speaking on the launch of the report, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Michael Healy Rae said; “This report is the result of the work of the Committee over the past nine months. I was privileged to be Cathaoirleach for the Committee. I would like to thank the Committee Members who devoted their time and attention to this very complex issue. We did not always agree with each other, but all views were listened to and respected.

 

“The Committee has agreed that it could recommend that no legislative or policy changes be made and that the issues raised in this report be the subject of a debate in both Houses of the Oireachtas.”

 

“We worked cooperatively and collegially in order to give this important topic the attention it merits. The Committee Secretariat was extremely diligent in its work and the Office of the Parliamentary Legal Adviser provided us with clear and detailed background information. We are very grateful to the national and international experts and other witnesses who engaged with the Committee to examine end-of-life care, dying and assisted dying in detail.”

 

“This included experts in law, ethics, medicine, disability, palliative care, and psychiatry. A special thanks must go to the other witnesses who shared very moving personal stories about their experiences of end-of-life care. These heartfelt stories were difficult to tell and difficult to hear but they helped to inform the Committee Members and deepened our understanding of this sensitive topic.”

 

The report makes 38 recommendations, some of which are outlined below:

 

The Committee recommends that the Government introduces legislation allowing for assisted dying, in certain restricted circumstances as set out in the recommendations in this report.

 

​The Committee recommends that the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should be ratified as a precondition of the commencement of assisted dying legislation.

 

The Committee recommends that the right to conscientious objection of all doctors and health workers directly involved in the provision of assisted dying should be protected in law.

 

The Committee recommends that any potential legislation on assisted dying uses clear and unambiguous terms and definitions, to avoid scope for uncertainty.

 

The Committee recommends that a person inquiring about assisted dying, following a terminal diagnosis, should be informed of, and assisted in, accessing all end-of-life care options, including palliative care.

 

The Committee recommends that palliative care and the operation of assisted

 

dying should operate completely separately and independently of each other.

 

The Committee recommends that resources and funding for, and information about, palliative care services should be substantially increased, to ensure consistent and accessible services of the highest quality are provided throughout the country.

 

The Committee recommends that funding for assisted dying and palliative care be separate and distinct from one another, provided for in separate votes in the Department of Health budget.

 

The Committee recommends that research be carried out on the relationship between economic disadvantage and health inequalities, and the question of people feeling a burden.

 

This Committee recommends that where any person has failed to adhere to relevant statutory requirements governing assisted dying, he or she will have committed a criminal offence.

 

The Committee recommends that any potential legislation on assisted dying provides that where a person has been proven guilty of coercion, they will have committed an offence under the Act.

 

The Committee recommends that doctors and healthcare workers involved in the provision of assisted dying be trained to the highest level possible to identify coercion when assessing or treating a patient.

 

The Committee recommends that if a medical professional has been proven to have acted outside of the permitted regulations or has attempted to coerce an individual, they will have committed an offence under the potential legislation and may be held liable.

 

The Committee recommends the inclusion in any legislation on assisted dying of mandatory reporting to An Garda Síochána of any information or evidence concerning the issue of possible coercion in relation to assisted dying.

 

The Committee recommends that where capacity is in doubt, a functional test for decision-making capacity should be part of the assessment for eligibility for assisted dying.

 

The Committee recommends that any doctor involved in determining eligibility for assisted dying must have professional training in assessing capacity and voluntariness.

 

The Committee recommends that following an initial successful assessment for assisted dying that finds a patient eligible, if the patient temporarily loses decision-making capacity, then that eligibility is suspended for the duration of their incapacity.

 

The Committee does not recommend that advanced healthcare directives allow for individuals to make requests for assisted dying. However, consideration of the issue may be included in any review of assisted dying legislation.

 

The Committee recommends that the updated palliative care strategy should be published by the Department of Health without delay and that palliative care and the operation of assisted dying should operate completely separately and independently of each other.

 

The Committee recommends that if assisted dying is introduced, an assessment by a qualified psychiatrist should be required in circumstances where the patient is deemed eligible but there are concerns about whether the person is competent to make an informed decision.

 

The Committee recommends that eligibility for assisted dying should be limited to Irish citizens or those ordinarily resident in the State for a period of not less than twelve months.

 

The Committee recommends that assisted dying should be limited to people aged 18 or over.

 

The Committee recommends that only a person diagnosed with a disease, illness or medical condition that is: a) both incurable and irreversible; b) advanced, progressive and will cause death;

 

c) expected to cause death within six months (or, in the case of a person with a neurodegenerative disease, illness or condition, within 12 months); and d) causing suffering to the person that cannot be relieved in a manner that the person finds tolerable, is eligible to be assessed for assisted dying.

 

The Committee recommends that two formal requests for assisted dying must be made, with a set specified interval between. At least one of these requests must be recorded in writing, and before two independent witnesses.

 

The Committee recommends that any potential legislation for assisted dying should establish a national body with sole responsibility for assisted dying services and related supports.

 

The Committee recommends that all assisted dying applications and related processes should be overseen and governed by the independent national body.

 

The Committee recommends that family members, carers, guardians or holders of an enduring power of attorney cannot request assisted dying in the interest of another person.

 

The Committee recommends that any potential legislation for assisted dying should provide a means of access to treatment for individuals who require assistance during the administration.

 

The Committee recommends that if assisted dying is legislated for, a doctor or nurse practitioner must be present for the duration of the assisted dying process and must remain until after the patient’s death and must account to the responsible authority for any remaining substances.

 

The Committee recommends that any assisted dying legislation include a provision for a formal review after three years of the operation of the legislation.

 

The Committee recommends that any assisted dying legislation must include definitions for terms used, including, but not limited to, medical descriptions of the methods permitted under the Act.

With the Chinese new year approaching many companies have parties for their staff, just like companies in Canada often have Christmas parties some time in December. The company Panda works for held a company new year's party the afternoon we arrived.

 

January 15 to 18, 2013 we went to Nanjing to visit our friend, Panda.

One of a group of items which relate to a performance by Dickens’s Amateur Theatrical Company at the Theatre Royal, Birmingham, 6 June, 1848, to raise funds for the endowment of a curatorship of Shakespeare's House in Stratford-upon-Avon. Following performances in Manchester and Liverpool, the bill commenced with Ben Jonson's Everyman in his Humour, in which Dickens played the swashbuckling braggart, Captain Bobadil, (captured by C.R. Leslie R.A.) followed by Elizabeth Inchbald's comedy, Animal Magnetism.

 

For a detailed insight into these papers see Killeen, M.* ‘High prices, big posters, and great confidence … Town very much excited on the subject’: Charles Dickens on the Birmingham stage in 1848 (CLiC Fiction blog post, 12 March, 2018), ‘Dickens took full responsibility for running the tour in the provinces and making all the administrative and publicity arrangements. Characteristically, he shouldered responsibility for all matters relating to running this theatrical venture in the provinces. He planned and directed all the rehearsals and liaised with theatre managers and musical conductors. In addition, he prepared the schedule and itinerary and organized the publicity arrangements.’

 

Dickens went as far as designing the form and content of the tickets for the performance. The text, in Dickens’s handwriting, provides the copy for the printer.**

The discharge paper relates to the mail ship Orivia built in 1897 and relates to the period betwen June and August 1900.

 

The Orivia sank on the 12 January 1912 after striking the Billy Rock in the Falklands Ireland. The crew, passengers and mail were saved by two tug boats. It’s not known if Alexander was on board the ship, his daughter Patricia never referred to it.

 

Alexander was born in 1862 in Price St Birkenhead was the eldest of 8 children. He did not complete his education but ran away to sea. He became a Bosun in the Merchant Navy and sailed around the world going to China for Tea and around Cape Horn to Valparaiso Chile to collect Guano. Alexander had retired when Patricia was born and she remembers her father as a quiet and gentle man who spent the evenings with her telling stories about his adventures and bought her comics from the back of Birkenhead Market.

 

Alexander died in 1945 of Pneumonia in the Workhouse Hospital Birkenhead.

 

Aleander’s father was Gilbert (Gabriel) McKellar who was born in 1839 at Levinside Terrace Dumbarton and died in 1904 Priory St. Birkenhead. In Liverpool Gilbert worked first in the ship-yards in Liverpool then went to work in the John Lairds shipyard in Birkenhead which had moved from the Wallasey tidal inlet to the River Mersey foreshore.

 

The father of Gilbert was Daniel who was a Shipwright and in Dumbarton the shipyards there constructed Clipper ships like the Cutty Sark; these ships were both sleek and fast and used to convey high value cargo from India and China.

 

Daniel McKellar moved with his 5 children to Gilbert House Howard St Liverpool, after his wife, Helen died in 1848.

 

Alexander’s mother was Margaret Roberts who was born in 1831 – Llanelidan Denbighshire and died in 1918 at 13 Priory St. Birkenhead. The parents of Margret were Robert Roberts from Clocaenog and Jane Patry from Llanelidan and Robert was a Hill farmer.

 

The sister of Margaret was Alice who married the brother of Gilbert, Alexander and they all lived with their families in various houses around St Mary’s Church.
