STARTeRS 2 CRAWFISH AND CORN SOUP BY MANDY MARYE EMPLOYEE RELATIONS COORDINATOR LOUISIANA, USA MANDY MARYE EMPLOYEE RELATIONS COORDINATOR LOUISIANA, USA WHAT DO YOU DO AT TRANSCOM? I am the Employee Relations Coordinator for the Lafayette call centre. WHAT DO YOU LIKE/FIND INTERESTING ABOUT YOUR JOB? There is never a dull day. There is always something new and challenging! In SouthLouisiana,liferevolves WHERE DO YOU WORK/LIVE? around seafood I live in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. (aftermy husband and son) WHAT ARE YOUR INTERESTS/HOBBIES? I like to fill my time with activities with my husband and son, taking lots of photos along the way. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS RECIPE? In South Louisiana, life revolves around seafood. Around here there are five seasons, Crawfish season being the most anticipated! CRAWFISH AND CORN SOUP SERVES 8 1 stick butter or margarine / 1 large bell pepper, chopped / 1 large onion, chopped / 2 cloves minced garlic / 2lbs crawfish tails / 2 cans (10¾oz) cream of potato soup / 2 cans (15oz) cream style corn / 1 can (14½oz) diced tomatoes / 8oz block cream cheese / 2 cups milk / Creole seasoning / 3 tablespoons green onions / 3 tablespoons fresh parsley Sauté the bell pepper and onions in butter or margarine until the onions are soft. Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the Crawfish and cook for about 15 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, potato soup, corn and milk. Cut the block of cream cheese into small squares before adding to the soup. This will allow for the cream cheese to melt evenly into the mixture. Season to taste and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. If desired, top with green onions and parsley just before serving. I personally like to season with salt and Zatarain’s (my favourite Creole seasoning mixture) while the onions and bell peppers are sautéing, and once again after adding everything into the mixture. I like to gradually work up to the amount of seasoning added in. 2007 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS +11% +15% +2 2007 net sales up % organic non-kinnevik two major acquisitions to €599.2 million, versus related sales up 5% carried out in the year, €540.2 million in 2006. in 2007, excluding with the addition of acquisitions and tele2 international Crm divestments. operator nuComm and leading austrian debt collection company is inkasso. 29% +5 8 Business continuity new contact centres 8 site expansions attained in key countries opened in germany, carried out in the year where tele2 divested the netherlands, poland, in service centres operations, including Chile and lithuania. based in spain, Chile, France and italy, germany, holland, with sales to tele2 poland and lithuania. representing 29% of total sales in december 2007.

While some traditional Lithuanian cooking recipes require a lot of preparation, patience and expertise, this one is relatively simple and fun to make. You can prepare it in advance and keep it chilled in the refrigerator for days. It adds a nice cool touch to picnics at the beach, too. It goes very well with sandwiches, baked or boiled potatoes or just about anything else you like! 1 cup milk/2-3 medium to large red beetroots/4 cups buttermilk /2 hard-boiled eggs/ 2 medium cucumbers / spring onions or chives / fresh dill / salt Clean, trim and peel the beetroot, cover with water and boil until tender. While the beetroots are boiling, peel the cucumbers and chop into small cubes (about ½ inch). Then peel the shells from the hard-boiled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the whites very finely. Chop the scallions and mash with egg yolks and ¼ teaspoon of salt to release the onion flavour. When the beets have finished boiling, remove them from the water and reserve the liquid.

  • Social Impact 2010 Playing for Change Invests in Social Entrepreneurs Who Help Children and Youth to a Better Life 2010: the FIRST YEAR
    Social Impact 2010 Playing for Change invests in social entrepreneurs who help children and youth to a better life 2010: THE FIRST YEAR In the beginning of 2010, Playing for Change was still only a good idea, a project of Hugo Stenbecks Stiftelse’s that would soon to launch its very first campaign. But by the end of the year Playing for Change was an, international foundation, funded by Kinnevik – work- ing on two continents, registered to fundraise, engaging volunteers and advocating for children’s rights. In its initial launch Playing for Change received almost 1900 applications and made waves through out all major media outlets in Sweden. The first year the foundation sup- ported ten early stage social entrepreneurs in Sweden, and through them altogether reached over 300 000 children. Playing for Change’s mission is to find and support social entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and methods that can improve the world through play, playfulness, and by remov- ing obstacles to play. Because even though the right to play may seem natural, millions of children are denied this vital aspect of their development. Even in the most depressive en- vironments and hazardous situations, play can be a key to the future, empowering children and young people. Sara Damber, CEO Playing for Change “A modern initiative, build on innovative models, brave ideas and exciting dreams. Playing for Change both starts an important debate and cements the image of a com- pany group that is not only able to interact with the society but is also a part of it – and is willing to continue to be a part of it.” Excerpt from the jury motivation when Playing for Change was awarded the Social Capitalist Award 2010, from leading Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer.

I hope that we have had the opportunity to meet face to face since I took over as CEO of this amazing company in September 2012 and, if not, I hope that we will do soon. I have been with MTG for over 19 years now and it has been an incredible journey. We have developed and expanded more than any of us would have dreamt was possible back in 1987. The constant factors throughout this period have been our desire to learn, to be better, to expand, to grow, to make money, to invest, and to never stop being curious and asking questions. Now, here we are – more than 4,000 people operating across 4 continents in almost 40 countries – and we are still dreaming, and planning for much much more. I started by thanking you for your time because that is the vital and prized commodity of our modern times - we want as big a slice of your time as possible, so that we can engage you and entertain you. We hate boredom. In fact, we are on a mission to eradicate boredom globally! That may sound like a pretty big statement, but I am serious – that is what MTG is all about.
