This document summarizes an International Bar Association guide on business and human rights for business lawyers. It was adopted by the IBA Council on May 28, 2016. The guide provides an introduction to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and discusses how they are relevant for different legal practice areas. It also examines the implications of the UNGPs for law firms and independent responsibilities of lawyers, as well as opportunities they present.
John Luckie has over 25 years of experience in emergency medical services, safety management, project management, and logistics. He has held various leadership roles overseeing emergency response, safety compliance, budgeting, and operations.

He has a Master's degree in Accountancy and various licenses and certifications in emergency response, safety, and security.
An automated rail transport system (RTS) consists of load wagons and a chute wagon to transport rails. It uses an on-board crane to load and unload rails onto the wagons. The crane can be operated remotely from the ground or onboard. The wagons have rollers and clamping stations to store and secure rails during transport. An automated RTS provides more efficient, safe, and cost-effective rail transport than a conventional manual system.
Staff development in nursing aims to provide personal and professional growth opportunities for nurses through orientation, continuing education, and skills training. It involves assessing educational needs, developing objectives and programs, and evaluating outcomes. The goals are to assist nurses in improving performance, acquiring new abilities to advance their careers, and ensuring safe patient care as the healthcare field continuously changes and advances. Staff development includes induction training for new nurses, ongoing in-service education, and continuing education activities to keep nurses up to date with the latest knowledge and skills.
O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a tendência do preço internacional do petróleo nas últimas décadas, a partir da abordagem clássica do excedente. Esta abordagem, recuperada por Sraffa, Garegnani e seus seguidores, enfatiza o papel dos custos de produção (distribuição de renda) e da tecnologia na explicação do preço de produção, um preço teórico e de longo período. Trata-se de uma abordagem que nos fornece instrumentos para analisar a importância tanto da dimensão econômica quanto geopolítica - dada principalmente pela política energética americana - para os preços de produção do petróleo, uma vez que é fundamentada nas análises histórica e estrutural. Para tanto, o trabalho se dedica, primeiramente, a realizar uma análise teórico-conceitual acerca do processo de gravitação dos preços de mercado ao preço natural: para diretamente mostrar a relevância do preço natural como “guia” aos preços de mercado, e para indiretamente mostrar que a demanda afeta os preços de produção através do impacto nos custos de produção. Inicialmente, ainda, o trabalho se dedica a realizar uma análise teórico-conceitual da especulação para mostrar que uma “bolha” especulativa no mercado de petróleo não persiste por muito tempo por ser ele um bem produzido. Em seguida, são discutidos os determinantes dos diferentes conceitos de renda para recursos renováveis e não-renováveis, sendo eles escassos ou não-escassos. Isso será feito para elucidar a importância (i) da renda extensiva quando os preços altos estimulam a produção de petróleo em regiões de custo mais elevado; (ii) da renda absoluta auferida pelos proprietários dos campos de petróleo, em geral o Estado, especialmente a partir da década de 70 com as Nacionalizações; e (iii) da renda de monopólio obtida pela Arábia Saudita quando ela fixa o piso do preço de produção do petróleo no nível dos custos americanos (maiores que seus custos tradicionais, incluindo o lucro normal). Finalmente, são observados diferentes períodos históricos, especialmente a partir da década de 70, aplicando os conceitos teóricos anteriormente discutidos a fim de compreender o mercado do petróleo. Diante disso, a tese a ser defendida neste trabalho é a de que a tendência do preço internacional do petróleo é regulada por dois preços de produção: (i) um piso, determinado pela tecnologia e pelos custos de produção americanos, acrescidos de uma renda absoluta privada; e (ii) o preço de produção, aplicado a períodos de demanda elevada, determinado pela tecnologia e pelos custos de produção do produtor marginal, acrescidos de uma renda absoluta estatal. Uma ilustração da aplicabilidade desta interpretação é feita ao analisarmos preliminarmente o impacto da mudança técnica utilizada na produção do Shale nos Estados Unidos. A redução da dependência dos americanos em relação aos sauditas diminuiu diretamente o piso do preço de produção, se refletindo na recente queda substancial e persistente dos preços de mercado do petróleo.
The document compares and contrasts chip and pin credit cards with magnetic stripe cards. It discusses that chip and pin cards, which comply with the EMV standard, provide increased security against fraud compared to magnetic stripe cards. Magnetic stripe cards can be easily cloned, while chip and pin cards generate dynamic authentication data. The document also outlines advantages of chip and pin cards for banks, consumers, and merchants in reducing liability and costs associated with fraud. It discusses how PCI DSS v3 places new requirements on annual penetration testing and segmentation between systems to validate security.

Raspberry Pi Foundation sells tiny, affordable single-board computers like the $5 Pi Zero, $25 Pi 1 Model A+, and $35 Pi 2 Model B in order to increase the number of children who learn computer programming and apply to study computer science in university. As an educational charity, the Raspberry Pi's price, portability, and goal of teaching programming give it an advantage over competitors like the Pine A64, Galileo, and upcoming Arduino Tre, despite those alternatives having more powerful specs in some cases. The Raspberry Pi is positioned to remain popular due to its large community and continued product improvements like the Raspberry Pi 3.

Recently, major corporations have radically rethought how they do business by establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination. In addition
to sending a strong signal that people come first, these organizations are also making
an economic argument to investors that employee-friendly policies pay dividends in reduced turnover and improved business outcome.
But what about small companies, and what about startups? The playbook aims to answer just that.
