Rene Descartes arrived at his famous quotation "I think, therefore I am" through his philosophical examination of what constitutes the human mind and how we can be certain of reality. In his work "Meditations on First Philosophy", he cast doubt on the external world and his own existence by arguing that our senses may misrepresent reality, as with optical illusions, and that we could be in a constant state of dreaming or being deceived by an evil demon. However, Descartes concluded that while he could not be certain of the external world, he knew that for him to have thoughts, he must exist as a thinking being, even if only as a mind.

7 Hábitos de la Gente Altamente Efectiva Milena Aldana
Este documento resume los conceptos clave de los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva de Stephen Covey. Explica que empezar con un fin en mente significa comenzar el día con una visión que sirva de guía. También destaca la importancia de identificar el centro de uno mismo, ya sea la familia, el trabajo u otros aspectos, para lograr seguridad, guía, sabiduría y poder.

Este documento habla sobre la cromatina. Explica que la cromatina está formada por ADN, histonas y proteínas que se encuentran en el núcleo celular y forman el genoma. Describe que la unidad básica de la cromatina son los nucleosomas, formados por 146 pares de bases de ADN asociados a un octámero de histonas. Además, distingue entre la heterocromatina, una forma inactiva y condensada, y la eucromatina, una forma ligera que contiene muchos
Quizás sea la hora de retomar el asunto, como hemos visto que están haciendo en los
Estados Unidos y otros países de nuestra cultura política. En la consulta escocesa sobre la independencia, han podido votar los jóvenes de 16 años. En algunos, como Austria, está ya establecida esa edad. El 26 de marzo del 2002 se aprobó un proyecto de ley que permitía votar a los jóvenes de 17 años en Cambridge, Massachusetts, después de haber rechazado nueve meses antes la misma propuesta para los de 16. En Inglaterra, el Partido Liberal, el Gobierno de Blair y el Partido Nacional Escocés respaldaron la propuesta de bajar la edad de voto a 16. En Alemania hay una propuesta más radical. Empecemos aquí por las Elecciones Locales, donde existe ya el precedente del voto de los extranjeros de la Unión Europea esidentes en España.
Los informes elaborados con todo rigor educativo, social, jurídico y político están ahí con una selecta bibliografía de respaldo. Pero, sobre todo, la evolución política de la sociedad española tras estos años de crisis debería hacernos ser valientes a la hora de afrontar medidas políticamente atrevidas para reforzar la democracia mediante la incorporación cuanto antes mejor de los adolescentes a la asimilación de los valores éticos de la sociedad democrática, el desarrollo de habilidades sociales, el fomento de actitudes de colaboración y las conductas de solidaridad. Los 16 años son mejor edad para introducir el voto que los 18, porque a esa edad los jóvenes están todavía enraizados en su comunidad y más concernidos por el voto que dos años después, como defiende el profesor Marina: “Los jóvenes tienen una perspectiva única sobre aspectos sociales, que conviene tener en cuenta. Al hacerlos sentir que pueden decidir sobre cosas que afectan a su vida, los jóvenes sentirían más interés por la política. Al tener que contar con su voto, las instituciones cuidarían más los intereses de los jóvenes.” ¿O es que no aprendemos?

Design thinking is presented as a human-centered approach to problem-solving that generates innovative solutions through empirical means.

Sriganeshan Thangarajah presented at the MBA Business Conference 2016 in Greenwich on the topic of austerity. He discussed how austerity, meaning significant budget cuts, has impacted local governments in England. Key facts presented included a 14% reduction in local authority income and a £7.6 billion reduction in central government funding to local authorities between 2010-2015. However, he argued that austerity could force positive changes in local governments, including commercialization efforts to generate new income streams, innovations in public services, and improved efficiencies. If managed properly, austerity may not be simply a "necessary evil" but could help transform local governments for the better.

By Lisa Greenhalgh, COO at MSIF
COLLABORATING TO ACCUMULATE
As Prime Minister Theresa May sets
out her stall, it is clear a rebalancing
of the economy remains a priority -
but what is Liverpool’s role in that
agenda?
FUNDING AND BUSINESS SUPPORT
Driving business growth across
the city region means giving ready
access to cash, expertise and advice.
CASE STUDY - Sovex
Sovex is just one company to have
benefited from MSIF loans.
MSIF GOES EVERGREEN
Since MSIF began in 1994, it has
invested over £161m in 1,933
businesses.
MIND THE SKILLS GAP
The deficit in skills among large
sections of the workforce in the
Liverpool City Region has been
seen as a major impediment to
investment.
PORT ACADEMY FOR LIVERPOOL
A new £2.5m maritime training
academy has officially opened.
INTERNATIONAL CITY
The Port of Liverpool’s status as a
gateway to the world is on the way
to becoming restored after decades
of decline.
INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL FOR
BUSINESS
The director of the International
Festival for Business 2016 has hailed
the event as an outstanding success
as it provided a £265m uplift to the
local economy.
The Liverpool city region is
on a high, having successfully
hosted its second International
Festival for Business, attracting
both national and international
attention to Liverpool’s
credentials as an excellent
location for investment.
Indeed, in June, Lord Heseltine praised the “extraordinary renaissance” currently
taking place in the city.
He said: “I know that the projections for this city are now unstoppable. It’s always a
great privilege to be here and to learn something new every time.
“The extraordinary pace of change and the billions invested is a vote of confidence
in the work of the public and private sectors in Liverpool and I hope that this
investment continues in the future.”
In terms of landmark developments, the Anfield regeneration scheme is moving
forward, with the most recent announcement being a brand new high street next
to the football ground, while construction work on the Super Port continues.
The ambitious 30-year vision for the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone is one of the
city region’s most important regeneration and investment opportunities. Liverpool
Waters is also one part of the wider ‘Atlantic Gateway’ project, which includes
more than 50 contributory projects.
From a big business perspective, the flotation of Newton-le-Willows-based
robotic process automation software firm Blue Prism in March, giving it a market
capitalisation of around £48.5m, underlines the region’s ability to nurture high
growth entrepreneurial businesses.
And in terms of governance, there continues to be a closer working relationship
with Manchester, for so long considered a regional rival.
In August, Walton MP Steve Rotheram pledged to create a “North West
powerhouse” after being selected as Labour’s candidate for Liverpool City Region’s
first metro mayor elections next May.
In a speech after his win, Rotheram said he wants to work with Labour’s mayoral
candidate in Greater Manchester, Liverpool-born Andy Burnham, to push for
greater support for the region.
His mayoral campaign slogan was “No borough left behind”, stressing the
importance of the city region’s five other authorities - Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral, St
Helens and Halton.
Challenges remain, however, and there is a clear need for more start-up
businesses, greater entrepreneurialism in the city region and greater interaction
between employers, schools and colleges.
TheBusinessdesk.com has been delighted to work with MSIF on this annual
report on the city region. MSIF is a major investor in the businesses based in the
Liverpool city region and like us is committed to supporting business growth here.

COLLABORATE TO ACCUMULATE
ROUND TABLE
As Prime Minister Theresa May sets out her stall, it is clear a rebalancing of the
economy remains a priority - but what is Liverpool’s role in that agenda?
THE Northern Powerhouse “will not
work without a strong Liverpool City
Region at its heart.”
Those were the words of Liverpool
City Region LEP chairman Robert
Hough and summed up the
overriding message to come out of
a round table discussion hosted by
funding provider the Merseyside
Special Investment Fund (MSIF).
The event focused on how the city
region could play a full part and
benefit from opportunities presented
by a so-called Northern Powerhouse
– the mantle given by Chancellor
George Osborne two years ago
to the Government’s objective of
rebalancing the UK economy.
Regardless of the positivity around
Hough’s declaration there was
serious discussion about what the
Northern Powerhouse concept
actually is and what it means to
businesses and people within the
Liverpool City Region.
John Hall, chief executive of
professional services membership
organisation Professional Liverpool,

said: “It’s a great concept. But a big
worry is that every time you listen
to George Osborne or (Lord) Jim
O’Neill (commercial secretary to the
Treasury) it’s Manchester or Leeds.
“You very rarely hear, Liverpool,
Hull or Newcastle. I think if they
were really serious about it, really
intending to make it happen, rather
than something virtual, HS3 (the
prospective east-west rail linking the
north) should be the priority over
HS2 (the north-south link).”
It was then that Hough delivered his
pro-Northern Powerhouse argument.
He said: “Northern Powerhouse is a
complex subject. It isn’t just about
transport. It’s about capitalising on
the strengths and the power of the
north as a whole. It’s about skills,
entrepreneurism, SMEs, all those
issues, housing, special planning.
“Transport is one. HS2/HS3 has
taken a dominant position in
that conversation. But the wider
position is much bigger. For me,
the Northern Powerhouse is about
scale, skills enhancement, clustering,
agglomeration and building those
strengths collectively so the whole is
bigger than the sum of the parts.
“What will come out in a report are
the key capabilities in the north.
They are advanced manufacturing,
health innovation, energy and
digital. And Liverpool City Region
is a microcosm of those strengths of
the north, so I’m very positive indeed
about economic opportunities.

“The Northern Powerhouse will not
work without a strong Liverpool City
Region at its heart.”
The panel agreed that collaboration
across the Northern Powerhouse
region would be key to its success.
Hough continued: “The north is
collaborating. For example, we
have the largest wind farm in
Europe in the Irish Sea, just off the
North Wales coast with £5bn of
investment. Siemens is working hard
with North Sea investors on similar
opportunities.
“The Northern LEPs, particularly
in Humber and in Liverpool, are
working hard to get supply chains
organised on both the North Sea
and the Irish Sea. I think that’s
an example of the Northern
Powerhouse working particularly
well.”

newly opened Port Academy, which
will teach skills for the maritime
sector, said: “I think the whole debate

around the Northern Powerhouse is
flagging up collaboration, including
collaboratively looking for funding
to respond to opportunities which
are coming our way.
“It’s about coming together. I
know that sounds very worthy,
but we’re on the front line in
further education, and if we don’t
work collectively with others
then we can’t respond to the huge
opportunities that are out there for
us.”
John Cater, vice chancellor of
Edge Hill University, said that
if Manchester was the driver of
the Northern Powerhouse it was
important to ask what it does and
doesn’t have.
He said: “It doesn’t have offshore
wind and it doesn’t have automotive
which is in either Liverpool or the
North East. So by collaborating,
in some senses it is a beneficial
partner.

50. MIND THE SKILLS GAP
The deficit in skills among large sections of the workforce in the Liverpool City
Region has been seen as a major impediment to investment.
LIVERPOOL’S skills deficit is
linked to the fact that so many
are “generationally unemployed”,
according to Robert Hough,
chairman of Liverpool LEP, who
spoke at the event supported by
MSIF of the need to tackle the
“underbelly of deprivation” to
ensure the success of the Northern
Powerhouse.
Liverpool’s economy has historically
been closely linked to the docks. As
England’s second largest port, after
London, it played a pivotal role in
transatlantic trade, as well as that
with Ireland.
The growth of containerisation
resulted in a massive decline in
employment in the docks, with a
major multiplier effect, resulting in
Liverpool being the only English city
whose population actually declined
after WWII.
Hough pointed to areas like Bootle,
Knowsley and Birkenhead, which
have been long associated with port
employment.
“Graduate retention rates are
respectable, but we do need to
improve them further, so it is a
virtuous circle, so that the economy
can grow,” he said.
The role of local universities and
colleges is central in addressing the
skills deficit.
Shulah Jones, project lead for Port
Academy Liverpool and head of
business strategy at Hugh Baird
College in Bootle, said: “Over the
last couple of decades you mention
the word Bootle and people think
deprivation – it’s a no-go area.
“ THE ROLE OF LOCAL
UNIVERSITIES AND
COLLEGES IS CENTRAL IN
ADDRESSING THE SKILLS
DEFICIT.”
“But when you look, it’s actually
come from a very proud place. It
was a very wealthy town in its day.
It was actually a place where a lot
of people would’ve gone for their
holidays and day trips. We have
a part play in terms of reshaping
our whole community with our
aspirations.
“The reason we created Port
Academy Liverpool [see page 12] was
people came to us and said you’re
the nearest college and this is an
opportunity which won’t come round
again for us.
“I go to many meetings with Job
Centre Plus and the council and
there’s a feeling I’m getting that
people are just sitting waiting for
someone to tell them ‘this is what
you’re going to do’.

51. “Peel Ports isn’t going to come to us
and say this is exactly what you need
to be doing now to create these jobs
and this is what we’ll do to help you.
“We’ve got to be proactive and
respond to the opportunities, not the
other way around. I sometimes think
I sound like a maritime evangelist.
One of the roles I think we have to
do is sell that dream – the potential
reality of what is to come to our
businesses, not just to our students.”
A new £2.5m maritime training
academy has officially opened.
Hugh Baird College, Bootle, launched
the Port Academy Liverpool (PAL)
in June, with some 200 guests from
across the UK representing the
maritime industry, Merchant Navy,
Royal Navy – both past and present -
and charitable trusts.
Port Academy Liverpool will provide
academic, technical training and
enrichment courses for students aged
from 14 years looking to pursue a
career in all areas of the maritime
sector. The first students will be
welcomed for the start of term in early
September 2016.
A 7.5-ton Naval anchor, refurbished
by Cammell Laird, was unveiled at
the ceremony as a permanent public
marker at the Academy’s entrance to
its newly upgraded and customised
premises.
The Academy’s location is home to
much of the Port of Liverpool’s world
famous docks and was the homeport
for the legendary Capt Johnnie Walker
and his second escort and support
groups of warships, the great hero of
the Battle of the Atlantic 1939-45.
Shulah Jones, Port Academy Liverpool
head of business strategy and project
director, said the new facility will
be an umbrella to three sub-brands:
onshore, offshore and onboard, for
both the Merchant Navy and Royal
Navy. Career prospects for students
will range from cruise liner hospitality
to marine engineering.
She said Hugh Baird College of Further
Education believes that it is the only
education establishment engaging in
this way with the maritime sector,
which is worth £11-12bn to the UK
economy.
“The opening of Port Academy
Liverpool is a great day for not only
Bootle, but the whole of Liverpool and
Merseyside,” said Jones.
“This is also a far-reaching initiative
which will benefit the entire UK’s
maritime sector. Our aspiration,
supported by our maritime partners,
is that Port Academy Liverpool will
become a beacon of educational
excellence, providing first-class
academic and technical training from
the ages of 14 years to adulthood.
“The maritime sector is part of the
DNA of Bootle and the Liverpool
City Region and through the creation
of Port Academy Liverpool we aim
to provide training and enrichment
opportunities for all. One example is
the huge demand for marine engineers
which we can help fill in the longer
term.”
Robert Hough, chair of Liverpool City
Region Local Enterprise Partnership
said: “As one of the LEPs Key Growth
sectors the Superport initiative
presents an opportunity to place
the port and surrounding logistics
infrastructure at the heart of business
in the UK – creating a Global Freight
& Logistics Hub for Northern UK and
Ireland.
“Our ambition now is to help grow
the sector – to do this we need to
focus on our people and equip them
with the skills, aptitude and ability to
compete not only locally but in the
global market. Having a Port Academy
specialising in maritime operations
and logistics will help us achieve this.”
