Whistleblowing is a mechanism that allows individuals to report concerns about serious malpractice that they have witnessed. It involves an employee reporting suspected wrongdoing at work to the relevant authorities within an organization. Workers are permitted to blow the whistle on issues that could endanger health and safety, damage the environment, involve criminal offenses, or violate the law. Whistleblowers are protected under law from retaliation so they can safely report wrongdoing that is in the public interest. Organizations also benefit from whistleblowing through increased transparency and accountability.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

Miley Cyrus' fashion and style is the topic of the slidecast presentation. It describes two outfits worn by Miley Cyrus to perform songs, including a weed printed bodysuit adorned with emeralds and rhinestones worn for "Love, Money, Party", and a dress printed with her own face and tongue that she wore for covers of "Hey Ya" and "Jolene".
The document provides a summary of the 4th Annual 2015 Global Recruiting Trends report. Some key findings include:
1) Social professional networks have become one of the top sources of quality hires, increasing 73% over the past 4 years.
2) While 75% of professionals consider themselves "passive" candidates, only 61% of companies recruit passive candidates.
3) Quality of hire is considered the most valuable metric for measuring recruiting team performance globally. It is most commonly measured through new hire performance evaluation and retention.
4) Both candidates and companies are increasing their use of mobile for recruiting activities, and this trend is expected to continue in 2015.
This document discusses the relationship between exchange-only optimized potential (xOEP) methods and Kohn-Sham (KS) methods when using finite basis sets. It argues that xOEP methods will only yield the exact Hartree-Fock energy if the products of occupied and unoccupied orbitals from the basis set are linearly independent. If they are linearly dependent, xOEP will generally yield a higher energy. It also shows that for xOEP to properly represent an KS exchange potential from density functional theory, the orbital basis set must be comprehensive enough to represent the virtual orbitals for a given auxiliary basis set. Plane wave calculations on silicon are used to illustrate these findings.
The document discusses the passive voice in English. It explains that the passive voice is formed similarly in English and Spanish, but is considered more formal in Spanish. The passive voice is used when the actor performing the action is unimportant. It provides the structure for changing sentences from the active to passive voice through various transformations, including making the direct object the subject and using the appropriate form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Considerations are given for how pronouns and impersonal subjects are handled in the passive voice. Examples are also provided.

Nella tarda mattinata di lunedì 16 dicembre 2019 il "Comitato No Biodigestore Saliceti", insieme ai comitati "Sarzana che Botta!" e ad "Acqua Bene Comune", ha partecipato alla Terza Audizione in IV Commissione Ambiente della Liguria. All'Audizione erano presenti anche i Comitati Spezzini.
Osservazioni sul Piano di Emergenza Esterna di PanigagliaClaudia Bertanza
L’associazione Posidonia ha inviato al Prefetto della Spezia le Osservazioni al Piano di Emergenza Esterna del rigassificatore di Panigaglia, osservazioni sottoscritte anche da Legambiente e Italia Nostra. Trovate il testo allegato.
Vorremmo ancora una volta precisare che non siamo contrari alla presenza di un impianto industriale nel Comune di Porto Venere, non pensiamo si debba vivere di solo turismo o che l’unica possibilità per la baia di Panigaglia sia installarvi l’ennesimo porticciolo. Quello cui siamo contrari è la presenza nella baia e in generale nel golfo di un impianto Seveso di categoria superiore, ad alto rischio di incidente rilevante.
Lo stabilimento della GNL Italia è stato autorizzato circa 50 anni fa, quando non c’erano le normative di oggi e c’era una diversa sensibilità nei confronti dei cittadini e dell’ambiente accompagnata da una distorta idea di futuro. Con l’evolversi della legislazione europea e italiana è diventato sempre più difficile conciliare questo impianto e i suoi annessi (la nave gasiera e il metanodotto che percorre le colline che fanno da cornice al golfo), con le numerosissime attività che insistono in questo spazio ristretto e così densamente abitato.
Questo impianto collide con tutte le numerose altre attività presenti nel golfo, dal porto mercantile a quello militare, dalla stazione crocieristica ai cantieri nautici, dai porticcioli ai battelli di servizio e così via
Le Osservazioni sono state costruite proprio mettendo in evidenza il territorio in cui è inserito lo stabilimento, la popolazione residente e quella fluttuante, trattandosi di zona altamente turistica, e gli studi sull’emergenza climatica che ci danno la certezza di precipitazioni e fulminazioni sempre più violente.
Soprattutto si è messa in evidenza la mancanza di informazione alla popolazione anche se i vari Decreti Legislativi che si sono succeduti fin dall’approvazione della prima direttiva europea cosiddetta Seveso, recepita in Italia nel 1988, hanno sempre messo come punto centrale il coinvolgimento della popolazione. Riguardo a questo impianto tale coinvolgimento non c’è mai stato e si è sempre preferito lasciare i cittadini all’oscuro e inconsapevoli non solo dei rischi che corrono ma anche dei comportamenti di autoprotezione da mettere in atto in caso di incidente.
Proprio per favorire una maggiore e più approfondita informazione alla popolazione è chiesto in premessa che, come consentito dalla legge, il termine per produrre osservazioni venga posticipato.
Dello stesso tenore sono le numerosissime mail che stanno arrivando al Prefetto e speriamo venga accolta la richiesta.
