 Jail since the day of Maul's death more than two years ago.
The 2010 Equality Act pulled together 116 separate pieces of existing legislation. It now covers nine ‘protected characteristics’ (age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation).
Recent events have brought racial inequality and discrimination to the fore. Most people are agreed that this is not going to go away on its own. We need to openly explore and talk about Britain’s imperfect past. And, let’s be clear, there are going to be uncomfortable ‘messy’ conversations.
However, a lot can be done in the workplace with an inclusive culture with clearly identified behaviours and honest conversations.
Organisational culture is defined by its underpinning values and expressed in the behaviours of the people – ‘you are what you do’. Consistent behaviours that align with values mean that people are willing to give their best and delight your customers.
The Investors in People Standard provides a great model for highly effective organisations. It aims ‘to help every person be the best they can be’. It talks about ‘living the organisation’s values and behaviours’, seeking to ensure that the values are at the heart of everything the organisation does. At the most fundamental level it requires honest open and leaders who clearly communicate and role model the core values and how they should be applied.
It goes on to state that people (which is everyone) should know and demonstrate the values in their everyday behaviours. Critically, they should be assessed against the values, both receiving and giving feedback on them. And they should ‘feel comfortable in challenging behaviours that are not in line with the organisation’s values’. This is key because it supports the uncomfortable, messy conversations that can occue when discussing race.
Where people have shared beliefs they understand and feel comfortable with doing the right thing. In this way, the culture becomes embedded – defined simply as ‘the way we do things round here’.
So, what can you do about diversity now?
A great start is a review of your current policies, procedures and, critically, explore your peoples’ feelings on race. Do this by engaging with as many people as possible throughout the organisation. In particular, review and revise your core values and behaviours to include diversity. Ensure that people are encouraged to live by the vlaues. If it isn’t already clear, managers must role model the behaviours if values are to be respected and lived up to. For this reason, organisations should facilitate a process by which people give feedback to leaders and managers.
Also, ensure that people are themselves given constructive feedback on their behaviours, including specific links to diversity. One great benefit of this is that it facilitates more frequent and much simplified interactions with people. It becomes very easy to praise people in the moment and give them feedback on how to improve in a timely way.Answer the following question: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: this time for my baby due in June.

YesEngineering Principles in Biotechnology
This book is a short introduction to the engineering principles of harnessing the vast potential of microorganisms, and animal and plant cells in making biochemical products. It was written for scientists who have no background in engineering, and for engineers with minimal background in biology.
Engineers are eased into biochemical reactions and life scientists are exposed to the technology of production using cells. This book includes coverage of reactors, oxygen transfer and scale up, cell culture, and stem cells and synthetic biology. It also deals with product purification and then later chromatography, the modern workhorse of bioseparation.
Drawing on principles from engineering and life sciences, this book is for practitioners in biotechnology and bioengineering.KITCHENER – The City of Kitchener continues to closely monitor the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) in collaboration with Waterloo Region Public Health and the Province of Ontario.

The Cleveland Guardians took Tuesday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox 10-7 in extra innings. Here are our picks for Wednesday's clash between the Guardians and White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The White Sox look to gain ground in the AL wild-card race with just a couple of weeks remaining in the regular season. The Guardians aim to finish strong, with a five-game lead on the White Sox for the top spot in the AL Central.
With the Guardians taking Tuesday's opener and leading the season series between these two clubs 10-7, the White Sox look to get right with Lance Lynn on the mound up against Cleveland’s Triston McKenzie.
Here are my MLB picks and predictions for Wednesday's game between the Guardians and White Sox (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM, and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 scale).
The White Sox are the moneyline favorites, ranging from –132 at FanDuel to -135 at DraftKings and BetMGM. Chicago has drawn 68% of the handle on just 41% of tickets.
The total is set at 7.5 or 8, up from a consensus opening line of 7. Contrary to the line move, 58% of the handle is on the Under.
McKenzie will make his 28th start of the season. He has been particularly strong in his last seven starts with a 2.84 ERA. He struck out 14 batters in his last start against the White Sox on August 19. In McKenzie’s most recent start against the Minnesota Twins, he completed seven innings with seven hits but only three earned runs allowed. McKenzie possesses a K/9 of 8.7 and a walk rate of 2.3 BB/9 over the course of 172 1/3 innings this season.
Lynn will face Cleveland his second straight start and third in just over a month. Lynn has struggled against the Guardians this season — in his four starts against them, he’s recorded a 4.50 ERA. Lynn struggled quite a bit to start the season but has found his footing lately. He pitched 6 1/3 innings against the White Sox in his last start and allowed only two earned runs. Lynn’s strikeout rate is 9.8 with a walk rate of 1.4 BB/9.
Both the White Sox's offense and pitching have been rather middle-of-the-pack this season. While the Guardians rank just 19th in the league with a.697 OPS, their pitching has pushed them ahead in the AL Central.
Still, Lynn has been solid at home over his last three starts, and with 14-mph winds and these two starters on the mound who very much rely on the fly balls, I’d give the edge to the White Sox.
With the Guardians leading the season series 10-7, it’s for the most part been a back-and-forth battle between the rivals all season as we saw on Tuesday when it wasn’t until the 11th inning when the Guardians’ offense was able to push ahead.
With the White Sox sitting at 16-11 in their last 27 home games and Lynn looking much more comfortable on the mound, I’m giving Chicago the edge to even the three-game series 1-1.
With an 11-inning game on Tuesday, both of these
