  • A Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Israel
    Page 1 of 27 A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel “A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel” provides contact and policy information and describes basic requirements for forms and procedures for use in cases between Israel and U.S. jurisdictions. Israel and the U.S. entered into a federal-level Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the terms of which Israel and the United States each express its intent to process child support requests for the other. The MOU provides for an initial period of three years effective February 5, 2009 through February 4, 2012. It continues in effect unless either side notifies the other that it wishes to end its cooperation. An initial period was agreed to because of Israel’s need to evaluate the number of cases coming from the U.S. and the cost of providing free services in these cases. Pursuant to this MOU, Israel has been declared a foreign reciprocating country according to section 459A of the Social Security Act (Act). Israel’s procedures conform substantially with the mandatory elements set forth in section 459A(b)(1) of the Act. Similar to U.S. procedures, Israel will enforce spousal support under the MOU only if the spousal support was entered together with a child support order. The Central Authority for Israel is the Legal Aid Department of the Ministry of Justice. This office was appointed as the Central Authority with respect to the United Nations Convention on Recovery of Maintenance Abroad (New York, 1956). Accordingly, the office has considerable experience working with international child support cases.

  • Fresh Study from Sweden Indicates Major Changes for Office Life Post-Corona the Pandemic Has Radically Changed How, When, and Where People Want to Work in the Future
    Press release, Gothenburg, June 8, 2021 Fresh study from Sweden indicates major changes for office life post-corona The pandemic has radically changed how, when, and where people want to work in the future. As digitalization opens up for more flexibility, working 9-5 from Monday to Friday at the office will soon be a thing of the past. These and more findings are available in the new report Working life of the future, produced by Castellum, one of Scandinavia’s leading real estate companies and the largest provider of office workspace in the Nordic region. -The report is based on a unique study of 2,000 Swedish office workers but we are convinced that its core results are universal, says Malin Engelbrecht, Head of Strategic Inititatives. While the vaccine is being rolled out around the world, many companies face challenges in adapting their workplaces to the new normal. But what do employees really expect, and how has the perception of an attractive workplace changed during the pandemic? Castellum asked 2,000 office workers and present the results in the report “Working life of the future”, which is now available online. The report focuses on driving factors and how they may influence people’s expectations of employers in the near future. How has the pandemic affected our attitudes to working life? What habits and behaviors have changed – and which would we like to see continue? And perhaps most important: how can employers ensure they are attractive post-pandemic? Here are 5 key insights: • Full-time employment is rated considerably

  • The Office” Sample Script
    “THE OFFICE” SAMPLE SCRIPT “The Masseuse” by John Chang [email protected] FADE IN: INT. OFFICE – MORNING MICHAEL enters and stops by PAM’S desk. MICHAEL Morning, Pam. Did you catch the ‘L Word’ last night? PAM No. I missed it. MICHAEL It was a great episode. Tim found out that Jenny was cheating on him with Marina, and Dana and Lara broke up. But the whole thing was totally unbelievable. PAM Why? MICHAEL Because. There’s no way that lesbians are that hot in real life. I know that we all have our fantasies about a pair of hot lesbian chicks making out with each other, but that’s just not how it is in the real world. PAM Um, o-kay. MICHAEL I mean, seriously, Pam. There’s no way in a million years that a smoking hot lesbian babe would come up to you and ask you out on a date. It just wouldn’t happen. I mean, I’m sure you must be very attractive to plenty of lesbians out there, but let’s face facts: they don’t look like Jennifer Beals, they look like Rosie O’Donnell. 2 MICHAEL (cont’d) That’s why the ‘L Word’ is just a TV show, and this is real life. And Pam, for what it’s worth, if you were a lesbian, you’d be one of the hotter ones. PAM Um, thanks. As Michael heads for his office, Pam turns to the camera. Her expression asks, “Did he just say that?” END TEASER INT. OFFICE - DAY It’s business as usual, when the entrance of an extremely attractive young woman (MARCI) interrupts the office’s normal placid calm.

  • Preliminary Overview of City Measures to Mitigate the Socio- Economic Impact of COVID-19
    Preliminary overview of city measures to mitigate the socio- economic impact of COVID-19 Policy note 4 May 2020 Cities are on the frontline of managing the COVID-19 crisis. They are dealing with the immediate consequences of the crisis. Many cities have adapted their services in quick, effective, and innovative ways to respond to the emergency. As we are moving past the emergency stage of this crisis, many cities are pro-actively setting out measures to mitigate the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis on people, jobs, businesses, the local economy and equality and inclusion in cities. EUROCITIES has compiled a preliminary overview of policy responses that cities have recently adopted to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis in the short, medium and long-term. This document builds on an existing collection of economic measures on subnational level assembled in the Economic Bulletin N°3 of the European Committee of the Regions. It also brings together examples from about 50 cities that were published on cities’ websites, and on our EUROCITIES web platform www.covidnews.eurocities.eu. In a nutshell, the most common mitigating measures in cities are: • providing financial aid to local businesses and people most affected by COVID-19 crisis • improving the conditions and access to loans for businesses • pausing rent payments • introducing flexibility and exemption of tax and fee payments • compensating businesses having contracts with the municipality • compensating for damages • involving private donors

    PRESS HANDBOOK Eurovision Choir 2019 Press, Delegation & Production Handbook DISTRIBUTION: Press, Delegations, Production Dear friends, It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the second edition of Eurovision Choir, here in Gothenburg. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be involved in the production during Latvian Television’s first edition in Riga hold many fond memories of launching Eurovision’s newest competition format. The show was spectacular, the choirs stunning and the music sublime. But what remains most strongly in my memory is the unique atmosphere of the backstage area around the show. I recall a festive atmosphere, almost a party, as nine choirs traded songs across the dressing room walls. And indeed, this is a festival – a festival of the beauty and diversity of choral singing in Europe, and of what can be achieved by joining our voices. So it seems true – singing is good for the soul. Thanks to those of you who have made the journey to attend Eurovision Choir 2019 in Gothenburg. Good luck to all the choirs taking part and enjoy the show! Jon Ola Sand Executive Supervisor, Eurovision Song Contest & Eurovision Live Events.

  • Historical Perspectives on the Transformation of Urban Waterfront Space in Stockholm During the Twentieth Century
    A view from the wharf: historical perspectives on the transformation of urban waterfront space in Stockholm during the twentieth century Natasha Vall Abstract This article examines the development of Hammarby Lake City in southern Stockholm on a former industrial, waterfront site during the 1990s. The setting may resemble global redevelopments of urban waterfronts and docks; however, Stockholm needs to be viewed against longer cultural, aesthetic and historical influences. This includes early twentieth- century precedents rooted in civic and residential engagement with the modern and industrial shoreline. In addition, an informal human interaction with the abandoned southern Hammarby harbour evolved during the 1950s through reoccupation by an itinerant community of workers. Such forerunners have often been overlooked in dominant accounts of a late twentieth century dramatic transformation of industrial waterfronts. The article concludes that there is scope to align the theme of waterfront development more closely to the longer history of the twentieth century city. This perspective provides a useful counterpoint to the leading view of such spaces as an expression of late capitalism. 1 Stockholm has a notable vista of waterfront buildings from the early modern mercantile of Gamla Stan, the stylish modernism of Kungsholmen to the twenty first century exuberance of Hammarby Lake City. Stockholm’s old southern harbour, the rehabilitated site for ‘Hammarby Lake City’ boasts lakeshore apartments, waterside dwellings and public spaces. With vistas continually framed by water, sometimes still, sometimes moving, these have been carefully planned to draw the gaze towards the open water and the extending horizon.1 A few decades earlier we would have had a different experience.

  • Kommunfördjupning Stockholms Stad
    Kommunfördjupning Stockholms stad . Stockholms stad har drygt 974 000 invånare. Här finns 90 000 arbetsställen och 709 000 anställda år 2020. Av samtliga anställda arbetar drygt en fjärdedel på Norrmalm. På Södermalm och Östermalm arbetar 14, respektive 13 procent, följt av 11 procent på Kungsholmen. I Västerort arbetar flest personer på arbetsställen i Rinkeby-Kista (6 procent) och för Söderort i stadsdelsområdet Hägersten-Älvsjö (8 procent). Stockholms stad har ett diversifierat näringsliv med en bred mix av olika branscher. Över 80 procent av samtliga branscher finns i kommunen. Detta är både en styrka och konkurrenskraft. Hög branschbredd skapar en robusthet på arbetsmarknaden och en motståndskraft inför eventuella nedgångar i något branschsegment. I innerstaden och Kista finns kunskapsintensiva näringar som man specialiserat sig inom och i vissa delar av ytterstaden finns verksamhetsområden med näringar inom t.ex. bygg, handel och logistik. Eftersom pendlingsförutsättningarna i länet är goda är människor villiga att pendla mellan jobb och arbete. Detta talar för att alla stadsdelar inte behöver ha en komplett arbetsmarknad. Snarare är det mixen tillsammans, där flera mer eller mindre specialiserade stadsdelar utgör en diversifierad stad. Detta förutsätter i sin tur fortsatta investeringar i infrastruktur och hållbart resande för att smidigt underlätta pendling och stärka matchningen mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Privata aktiebolag är den ägarkategorin som står för de allra flesta arbetstillfällena – ungefär 50 procent av samtliga anställda i Stockholm jobbar på ett privat aktiebolag. Offentlig verksamhet står för en femte del av samtliga arbetstillfällen men utgör tillsammans knappt 1 procent av samtliga arbetsgivare och 3 procent av stadens arbetsställen. De internationella företagen står för ca 20 procent av stadens arbetstillfällen, medan svenska privata företag står för resterande 60 procent.
