( 3 ) subsection 2 shall also apply if approval from the federal employment agency is required in order to take up employment in cases of residence for other purposes covered in parts 3 , 5 or 7 .
there is a notable difference in the levels of training required for staff working for public and private organisations . in sweden , training for staff employed by the migration agency are governed by several public acts . in centres run by private companies commissioned by the migration agency , in contrast , there are no such requirements , since they are not public servants . similarly , in austria , private owners of asylum accommodation do not receive training .
( 2 ) a residence title shall entitle the holder to pursue an economic activity insofar as this is laid down in this act or the residence title expressly permits pursuit of an economic activity . every residence title must indicate whether the pursuit of an economic activity is permitted . a foreigner who does not possess a temporary residence permit for the purpose of employment may be permitted to take up employment only if the federal employment agency has granted its approval or a statutory instrument stipulates that taking up the employment concerned is permissible without the approval of the federal employment agency . any restrictions imposed by the federal employment agency in granting approval must be specified in the residence title .
and the foreigner is not employed on terms less favourable than apply to comparable german workers . german workers and foreigners of equal status shall also be deemed to be available if they can only be placed with assistance from the federal employment agency . the future or present employer of a foreigner who requires or has obtained approval for such employment must furnish the federal employment agency with information on pay , working hours and other terms and conditions of employment .
we now only work for the trade fair industry . as an internet agency we want to use our digital expertise to support trade fair organisers on their way into the digital age , an important factor in sustainable market success .

overall , evidence suggests there is limited access to healthcare services beyond emergency . in sweden , adults seeking asylum are entitled only to medical treatment that cannot be postponed . in the longer term , the bulgarian state agency for refugees indicates that people with long - term disabilities can access benefits under legislation on integrating people with disabilities . the agency and the bulgarian red cross have referred persons with disabilities to disability certification authorities , supplying them with accompanying persons , interpreters and transport .

one of the people who had the greatest influence on berlin’s cuisine was not , as one might think , a trained chef , but a politician : frederick the great . in the early 18th century , this king of prussia ordered his subjects to eat primarily cucumbers and potatoes . these foods were brought to europe a few hundred years before from america . frederick the great encouraged the consumption of these crops because both were cheap and fit the frugal prussian lifestyle . to this day , they are still regional favorites in berlin and feature heavily in berliner food .
few world capitals have undergone so much change over the past 300 years as germany’s capital city of berlin . this city was the seat of 5 different forms of governments and states . these governments were the margraviate of brandenburg up to 1700 , kingdom of prussia up to 1871 , german empire up to 1918 , german reich until 1945 , german democratic republic until 1990 and the federal republic of germany since then . it symbolizes destruct ion and rebirth , division and unification and , especially , friendship with the united states in modern times . today , berlin boasts 3 . 4 million inhabitants and is europe’s third most visited capital . due to its nightlife , festivals , contemporary architecture and avant - garde arts , berlin has become a center for liberal lifestyle , modern zeitgeist and low - cost , high quality living . and the cuisine of this region is as colorful as the city itself !

the european asylum support office ( easo ) developed a tool for the identification of persons with special needs ( ipsn tool ) to support member states . the tool lists indicators which officials involved in the asylum procedure and reception can use to spot possible vulnerabilities , even if they do not have expert knowledge in medicine , psychology or related fields . based on the easo tool , the bulgarian state agency for refugees ( sar ) will introduce a specific instrument to identify vulnerable asylum seekers , including asylum seekers with disabilities , later in 2016 .
the variety of identification practices means that in practice different actors are involved in identifying persons with disabilities . in italy , these are typically healthcare professionals . in some detention centres , ngos offering healthcare assistance or healthcare assistance professionals might identify disabilities . in bulgaria , identification of people with disabilities is shared among local ngos , unhcr and social workers from the bulgarian state agency for refugees . however , border and migration police authorities can perform initial identification , while the interviewer and doctors can do the initial identification for those who arrive directly at the reception and registration centres .
some basic assistive devices such as wheelchairs , canes , ramps and crutches are available in reception centres and detention centres in all of the seven member states . in bulgaria , the bulgarian state agency for refugees sometimes provides them directly , while in austria asylum seekers’ health insurance covers basic technical assistive devices . in addition , it is possible to apply for special support to the regional authorities ; in some cases ngos , district administration authorities or donors cover the costs for special devices . where not provided by public authorities , ngos are often involved in supplying these devices .

since 2012 , the bulgarian state agency for refugees has applied a questionnaire developed by the assistance centre for torture survivors aiming at identification of victims of torture . a 2013 - 2014 project monitoring the application of the questionnaire with persons seeking protection in bulgaria showed that this or similar instruments was used with just 7 . 1 % of the persons interviewed , and only 6 % were referred for health or psychological support . based on this data , the project concluded that the application of the questionnaire is limited , and that proper referral is closely related to the existence of a formal identification procedure .

all in all , the traditional berlin cuisine tends to be rustic and hearty , based on pork , goose , different types of fish , peas , beans and potatoes . three typical berliner dishes are currywurst , eisbein and berliner . currywurst is a grilled pork sausage cut into slices and seasoned with ketchup or tomato paste blended with curry and generous amounts of curry powder . some use ready - made curry ketchup , which is now also available in the united states . currywurst is often sold as a take - out food and usually served with french fries ( pommes frites ) or bread rolls . eisbein mit sauerkraut ( pork knuckle on sauerkraut ) is heavily marbled meat covered with a thick layer of crispy fat , or “crackling” . the meat is tender and aromatic , but must be cooked or braised for a long time . usually it is sold cured and then used in simple , hearty dishes and often paired with berliner weisse , a light , fruity beer . the berliner is a doughnut made from sweet yeast dough fried in fat or oil , with a marmalade or jam filling and usually topped with icing , powdered sugar or conventional sugar . the name is used primarily outside berlin ; the real berliners call this pastry pfannkuchen . along with the popular spritzkuchen ( cream puffs ) , the berliner is a popular afternoon snack available at every corner bakery , and a “must eat” on new year’s eve and carnival . a common practical joke is to secretly fill berliners with mustard instead of jam and serve them together with regular ones .
in other cases , specific arrangements are in place for people with disabilities . in the austrian province of styria , there are two houses targeting asylum seekers with specific needs , one for persons with mental health issues and one for persons with physical disabilities . other people with disabilities have places in regular accommodation , which receive additional funding to provide specialised support . there is also some barrier - free accommodation for persons using a wheelchair . in italy , sprar provides reception centres that target people with mental health issues and specific therapeutic needs . however , people with specific needs – including torture victims – are often accommodated in general reception centres . all reception units in sweden must report relevant information – including on vacancies in accessible accommodation , staff experience working with persons with disabilities , and local specialised services – to the migration agency , facilitating the placement of persons with disabilities in suitable accommodation .

here’s the upshot : yes , using facebook means you’ll tend to see significantly more news that’s popular among people who share your political beliefs . and there is a real and scientifically significant “filter bubble effect” — the facebook news feed algorithm in particular will tend to amplify news that your political compadres favor .

however , while some beehive teams did achieve success , the overall rate was much lower than the accelerator teams . the rate of progress was noticeably lower as was the drive to get their team to achieve “escape velocity” – our term for being a strong enough team to move out of the “mit bubble” and establish itself as a standalone company .
there’s one other key piece to pull out . the filter bubble was really about two concerns : that algorithms would help folks surround themselves with media that supports what they already believe , and that algorithms will tend to down - rank the kind of media that’s most necessary in a democracy — news and information about the most important social topics .

jon hamm seems like a really nice guy . to clarify : a really nice , tall , well - built guy who you probably wouldn’t want to piss off . and yet , president donald trump and disgraced fox news host bill o’reilly thought it would be a cool , fun idea to have some kind of alpha - male standoff with hamm during a saturday night live after - party last year ( for the snl episode that trump infamously hosted ) , and the whole thing just left our dear hammy a bit confused . “he was with bill o’reilly , ” he explained to the new york times . “they’re both tall dudes . and i’m a tall dude . and they both do that tall - dude thing , which is try to intimidate you . and it doesn’t work on me . i’m like , ‘i’m as alpha as you . let’s go . you’re not going to chest - bump me . ’ it was a very weird night . it was the shortest i’ve ever stayed at an snl after - party . ” think of all of the un - eaten canapés and iced beverages that were sacrificed due to this ordeal . at least trump’s inner circle is taking the anecdote well .
in february , o’sullivan collected hanley from dublin airport , “you could smell the death off him . ” hanley had been sitting next to the actor gabriel byrne on the flight over . he said goodbye to byrne and got in o’sullivan’s car . at st james’s hospital , the doctor came out to o’sullivan after about 15 minutes with hanley . “‘look , terry , the bottom line here is that vincent is close to death . i know it’s putting something on your shoulders , would you like me to let him go now ? ’ i thought about it and said , ‘no , could you hold on to him for a while because i know he’d like to say goodbye to people’ . i regretted that terribly . i think it prolonged his suffering , and mine , to tell the truth . ”
she wandered into an upper room , and we followed . there , she showed us two custom - made instruments , a celeste and what looked like a harpsichord . both had been modified somehow through instructions from a programme on her mac . i could tell that o was completely lost as she explained how this worked . yet it was then , right then , that i realised how much she and o were alike – fellow geniuses , incredibly , intuitively brilliant – while being at the same time such an unlikely pair of friends .
the alithia guys also stopped us at a 7 / 11 and introduced us to something called ‘australiana’ . they got us some tim tams and also an ice - cream called bubble - o - bill , what a crazy country ! but we were still hungry , so we bought our favourite food , the famous wicked wings from kfc , which is something really special for us because in austria there is only one kfc in the whole country ! on the way to newcastle the weather cooled down and so did the warnings about the bush fires , so we stopped by a town called avoca and went to the beach there . the water was such a beautiful temperature and it was the perfect way to enjoy a sunday afternoon . after a short swim with the alithia guys , we went back on the road and got ready for the show . again we enjoyed some fantastic local supports bands and then a very wild and crazy local audience which gave us another fun night .
' hi . i ' m linda o ' keefe . . . 45 years ago today , i disappeared and my killer was never found ' : police tweet as the 11 - year - old girl who was murdered in 1973 in a bid to publicize the cold case
23 august 2015 “what are your wishes , dr sacks ? ” said the hospice nurse . “how would you like to pass ? ” “at home , ” answered o in a clear , steady voice , “with no pain or discomfort , and with my friends here . ”
for me , this was part of the fascination with him . i was seeing a few other men during my first summer in new york , but dates with o were completely different . we didn’t go to movies or to moma or to new restaurants or broadway shows . we took long walks in the botanical garden in the bronx , where he could expatiate on every species of fern . we visited the museum of natural history – not for the dinosaurs or special exhibitions but to spend time in the often empty , chapel - like room of gems , minerals , and , especially , the elements – o knew the stories behind the discoveries of every single one . at night , we might walk from the west village to the east , o talking excitedly nonstop , to have a beer and burger at mcsorley’s old ale house .
in 1986 , with rumours surrounding his health , hanley agreed to come home and see an ophthalmologist . o’sullivan heard photographers and journalists were going to be at dublin airport , so asked a contact in aer lingus to take hanley off the plane at shannon , where he collected him .

early 1980s new york and san francisco . the clubs , the scene , the hedonism , the height of edgy glamour . something was wrong . in 1981 or 1982 o’sullivan was on holiday in ibiza with a doctor friend when a group of english guys approached selling poppers – amyl nitrate .
a few years ago , i gave a talk about how algorithms and social media shape what we know . i focused on the dangers of the “filter bubble” — the personalized universe of information that makes it into our feed — and argued that news - filtering algorithms narrow what we know , surrounding us in information that tends to support what we already believe . here’s the main slide :
“he just upped sticks and went to new york out of the blue , ” o’sullivan remembers . “i was stunned . i didn’t know what he was doing and why he was doing it . ‘i want to make it big , ’ he said . he was barely in london two years . ”
i love when writers write to the point . there is no bs in this book , no stories that drone on and on endlessly , so long you forget what the poi t even is or if it will ever come . the few examples are short , to the poi t and completely relevant . he gives the problem and solution . this book is mainly about a solution oriented approach to hypnosis and how to use it . i absolutely enjoyed this short and to the pint book . in these days who has time to sit around for weeks reading irrelevant words and experiences . i ' m going to be looking for more books by this writer , bill o ' hanlon .
16 august 2015 “i say i love writing , but really it is thinking i love – that rush of thoughts – new connections in the brain being made . and it comes out of the blue . ” o smiled . “in such moments : i feel such love of the world , love of thinking…”
hanley , however , thought he would live . he went back to new york for a month but became more and more ill . back home , o’sullivan arranged for treatment in st james’s hospital , where a doctor and nurse there were the main port of call for people with aids in ireland at the time .
in the talk , i called on mark zuckerberg , bill gates , and larry and sergey at google ( some of whom were reportedly in the audience ) to make sure that their algorithms prioritize countervailing views and news that’s important , not just the stuff that’s most popular or most self - validating . ( i also wrote a book on the topic , if you’re into that sort of thing . )
i believe it was buffalo bill ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! i never thought i would see people actually writing about this . it is still one of my favorite memorys from my childhood . hey heres another one . . . . how about the green frog with m n m eyes ? ? ? ? ? yup deff a bk thing cuz thats where im from : 0 ) lol
returning to leeds , bill pursued a number of research projects related to coal , gas and oil combustion and gasification as a senior research fellow with particular emphasis on nox , and sox emission control in partnership with major uk power generation companies . recently , bill’s research activities have been closely related to the development of the uk national ukccsrc pact facilities focused on carbon capture processes and in particular to pilot scale oxy - fuel combustion projects . additionally , significant research activity has been developed in the areas of fluidized - bed biomass combustion , corrosion associated with biomass and oxy - fuel combustion and small scale anaerobic digestion systems for both urban and rural locations in developing countries . he was appointed associate professor and since 2009 , he has contributed to research projects with a total value in excess of £7m as principal or co - investigator .
bill is a reader in the energy engineering group in the mechanical engineering department at the university of sheffield and is part of the team developing academic and industrial projects for the energy 2050 initiative . bill’s background is in chemical and combustion engineering having gained his phd in fluidized bed waste gasification processes at leeds university in the mid 1980’s . a period in industry followed , working on full scale coal gasifier development ( 350 tpd ) for british gas , westfield development centre , scotland , as part of the british gas sng programme in partnership with lurgi gmbh . projects involved the study of fuel bed behavior at full scale and process development for operation with caking and difficult coals . other projects involved commissioning and operation of pilot plant associated with gas cleanup and upgrading to substitute natural gas using real syn - gas from the full scale plant .
in a year when college campuses were particularly visible as hotbeds of political activity , o’keefe’s stunt didn’t make much of a splash . the administrator in the clip seems confused and skeptical , like an actress flubbing her lines , while the real - life vassar kids caught on camera look mildly inconvenienced rather than incensed . what stands out is that , in contrast to o’keefe’s other provocations , the clip could have served a variety of political viewpoints . as a parody of campus life , it tapped into a broader suspicion , shared across the ideological spectrum—from right - wing watchdogs to high - minded progressives—that college students these days are absurdly thin - skinned , unduly obsessed with “safe spaces” and political correctness .
17 february 2015 in post - surgery recovery : cutting off blood supply to the tumours in the liver may sound somewhat benign , but the body revolts with full force against such an intrusion . o repeatedly tears off his hospital gown because he is in so much pain that even the thin cotton material causes discomfort . the young female nurses act scandalised by this and keep trying to cover him up . at one point , o yells out in exasperation : “if one can’t be naked in a hospital , where can one be naked ? ! ” i hear a nurse in the hallway join me in laughter . i cover his genitals with a washcloth when the morphine finally kicks in and he falls asleep .
i remember an ice cream bar from the 80 ' s called buffalo bill , it had chocolate head , a vanilla face and bubblegum nose . it was pretty yummy too . i use to buy it from mr . softee . ( you know the ice cream truck ) hmm maybe it was a ny thing . lol that ice cream bar is defintely from the 80 ' s there is alo flintsone ice cream bars . i still see those around
o’sullivan says hanley remained in denial . the week before he died in april 1987 he asked his doctor to let him off for a few days so he could go to ashford castle . it was an almost insane request for someone so close to death . hanley persisted , and got a taxi from dublin to cong , co mayo and spent the week there .
in iowa , where the former maryland governor’s campaign has focused the majority of its resources , he’s right on the edge : the five most recent polls that meet nbc’s standards have o’malley at an average of exactly 5 percent . if his support dropped between now and debate day , that could jeopardize his position on stage depending on how willing nbc is to round up .
there was a small reception afterwards . nothing fancy – two bottles of san pellegrino and a couple bottles of wine – but no bottle - opener . o and i were talking with kevin when lauren hutton walked up to us : “do one of you kind gentlemen have an opener ? even a knife would do – i could pry it open with a penknife . ”

what do you miss most about oliver ? his companionship . i hope the reader gets a sense of what our relationship and conversations were like . we talked and laughed a lot . he was very funny and liked wordplay and puns . he could be very self - deprecating and eccentric . so most of all i miss the comfort of his company and the laughter . interview by lisa o’kelly
10 august 2015 o is working on a new piece : sabbath . every now and then , a little request comes , always phrased politely : “if you would be so kind : look up something for me on your little box ? ” “little box” is his name for an iphone , a name he finds too ugly to pronounce , to speak . “it’s not even a word , ” as he points out , “it’s a brand . ” sometimes he calls the phone my “communicator” , as if out of star trek . today , he wants me to look up the meaning of the latin “nunc dimittis” . as is almost always the case with o , it wasn’t necessary : he’d had the definition exactly right in the first place : nunc dimittis is “the final song in a religious service” .
despite seeing similar nominal dollar losses , the housing crash led to the great recession , while the dot - com crash led to a mild recession . part of this difference can be seen in consumer spending . the housing crash killed retail spending , which collapsed 8 percent from 2007 to 2009 , one of the largest two - year drops in recorded american history . 2 the bursting of the tech bubble , on the other hand , had almost no effect at all ; retail spending from 2000 to 2002 actually increased by 5 percent .
the poor cut spending much more for the same dollar decline in wealth . this fact is one of the most robust findings in all of macroeconomics , and has been confirmed in the context of housing , fiscal rebate checks , and credit card limits . it also makes intuitive sense . if bill gates loses $ 30 , 000 in a bad investment , he’s not going to cut back his spending . if a household with only $ 30 , 000 suffers a similar loss , they’re going to massively slash spending .
but it’s also not insignificant . for self - described liberals on facebook , for example , the algorithm plays a slightly larger role in what they see than their own choices about what to click on . there’s an 8 % decrease in cross - cutting content from the algorithm vs . a 6 % decrease from liberals’ own choices on what to click . for conservatives , the filter bubble effect is about 5 % , and the click effect is about 17 % — a pretty different picture . ( i’ve pulled out some other interesting findings from the study here . )
björk urged us to sit and eat . the chairs were carved from tree stumps . the tablecloth was embroidered with seashells . on the table : warm , salted mixed nuts in tiny dishes . almost immediately , she brought out a steaming pan of baked trout , a salad and a bowl of boiled potatoes – “i like it with the skins left on , ” she said , almost apologetically , “don’t you ? ” o and i nodded .
this year , james o’keefe , the conservative activist famous for his hidden - camera exposés , visited vassar college dressed in costume as the constitution . vassar , where i teach , is one of those campuses that seems to typify , for some , how wacky and permissive higher education has become—a readymade specimen for those seeking to depict the twenty - first - century american college at its most insular and navel - gazing . o’keefe hoped to do this by handing out pocket - sized constitutions outside the campus’ busiest building . one of his operatives , posing as a student , would then coax an administrator into destroying this replica of our nation’s founding document . a video edited down from the day’s footage shows an officer of the college awkwardly humoring the faux student , who is pitch - perfect in her recitation of how the offensively retrograde constitution had “triggered” and traumatized her , helpfully suggesting that the officer use a nearby shredder .
12 january 2015 got back last night from st croix in the us virgin islands – a birthday trip . i turned 54 ( equivalent to the atomic number for xenon , so o gave me four xenon flashlights ) . o did not feel well much of the time – nauseated , tired , slept a lot . we almost cancelled the trip , last minute . two nights before we left , he told me he had “dark urine” . i was sceptical – he’s hypochondriacal even on good days , as he is the first to admit . but i could see he was worried , talked him into peeing into a clear glass so i could check , and was startled when he brought it into the kitchen ; his urine was the colour of coca - cola . it seemed to clear up some while we were in st croix . even so , he had made a doctor’s appointment before leaving for the trip .
“hundreds of men , all looking the same , ” o’sullivan remembers , “all in white shirts , all in moustaches , some absolutely gorgeous looking . vincent tried to adopt that style , became sort of butched up . he was a queen trying to butch himself up ; it was just a bit silly . ” hanley wasn’t a big drinker , preferring to sip on a glass of beer , but now switched to holding a pint to complete the butch aesthetic .
what this book equaled out to be for me . erickson patterns volume 1 made easy and without all the crap . he basically made an erickson patterns book for dummies . there was alot of euriqe moments for me . thinking to myself o thats how you do that when before i was confused on some stuff i read in other books . he clears it up . still missing some stuff . but he did such a good job im still gonna give him 5 stars .
25 july 2015 in the country : o is finishing one essay , working on two others – at least two others . “how’s the writing going ? ” i ask , waking from a nap . he smiles mischievously . “i meant to stop , but i couldn’t . ” and he goes back to it . i watch . he doesn’t have a fancy desk here ; it’s just a folding table . all he needs is a pad and his fountain pen and a comfortable chair .
not long after i moved to new york , michael jackson died . o had no idea who michael jackson was . “what is michael jackson ? ” he asked me the day after the news – not who but what – which seemed both a very odd and a very apt way of putting it , given how much the brilliant singer had transmuted from a human into an alien being . o often said he had no knowledge of popular culture after 1955 , and this was not an exaggeration . he did not know popular music , rarely watched anything on tv but the news , did not enjoy contemporary fiction , and had zero interest in celebrities or fame ( including his own ) . he didn’t possess a computer , had never used email or texted ; he wrote with a fountain pen . this wasn’t pretentiousness ; he wasn’t proud of it ; indeed , this feeling of “not being with it” contributed to his extreme shyness . but there was no denying that his tastes , his habits , his ways – all were irreversibly , fixedly , not of our time .
when i ask , he names each of them , following my finger as i go down the list . he interrupts himself at one point : “they like to be remembered and recited like this . ” “they ? ” o nods . he could not look more delighted , and it’s not because of the alcohol . listed separately , under the heading “no or infinitesimal” , are the exceptions . he goes on to explain the difference between organic and nonorganic chemistry . i do not – and expect i never will – understand half of what he is saying .
13 july 2015 very , very tired , i did the dinner dishes quickly , gathered my things , and earlier than usual , told oliver i was heading to bed and said good night . but as i headed for the bedroom , o called to me from his desk , “do you know why i love to read nature and science every week ? ” i turned . “no , ” i shook my head . i was almost confused ; this seemed such a non sequitur . “surprise – i always read something that surprises me , ” he said .
