@elsua54 Agree. Not easy.

But the attitude I detect is part of not finding / working on a #solution (yes we work in the system but while slowly-but-surely slow it down).

Not doing that seems to have the 'why bother' when even as side-gesture it can get us there over time and straighten the tree.

So at least do less or have less children (that is 1 measured to avoid them becoming as helpless as us).

It's a waste of energy both ways, but one leaves life with principles and better struggle.

Comparative Case Study

Employer-Assisted Home Ownership, Public Service Performance Management, and Housing Policy: Lessons from the United States, Guyana, Cuba, the Caribbean, South Africa, Botswana, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Namibia

Executive Summary

Housing remains one of the most valuable employee benefits worldwide. Governments increasingly use housing subsidies, mortgage assistance, and performance-based public service systems to attract and retain skilled workers.

This comparative study examines housing support and public-sector remuneration systems in the United States, Guyana, Cuba, South Africa, Botswana, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Namibia. It also evaluates the role of Namibia’s Wages and Salaries Commission (WASCOM), the Performance Management System (PMS), the National Housing Enterprise (NHE), and explores how changing international relations—including the easing of some United States restrictions affecting Cuba—may influence future regional cooperation. Recent policy changes by the United States have eased some restrictions in specific areas at different times, but the broader embargo framework remains in place and continues to shape Cuba’s economy. (NHE)

Global Comparison of Employer Housing Schemes

United States

Employer Assisted Home Ownership

Large employers, universities, hospitals and municipalities often provide:

• Down-payment assistance
• Mortgage subsidies
• Low-interest employer loans
• Housing grants
• Payroll deduction mortgage repayments

Expert Analysis

Housing benefits are increasingly viewed as strategic human-resource investments. Employers that support home ownership often experience higher retention and employee satisfaction.

Guyana

Affordable Housing for Public Servants

Guyana has expanded public housing initiatives alongside rapid economic growth. Government programmes have focused on increasing serviced house lots and improving access to affordable mortgages.

Expert Analysis

As Guyana’s economy expands, employer-supported housing could complement national housing initiatives by improving affordability for public servants and professionals.

Cuba

Housing Under Economic Constraints

Cuba has historically maintained a state-led housing system. However, housing development has been constrained by economic challenges, including decades of U.S. sanctions, which have affected access to financing, building materials, and imports. Some U.S. administrations have eased selected restrictions, while the core embargo established in U.S. law remains in effect. (NHE)

Expert Analysis

Improved international cooperation and expanded access to construction materials, finance, and technology could strengthen Cuba’s housing sector over time.

South Africa

South Africa’s Government Employees Housing Scheme combines:

• Housing allowances
• Financial education
• Mortgage support
• Employee advisory services

Expert Analysis

Housing support linked with financial literacy has improved access to formal home ownership for many public servants.

Botswana

Botswana continues to provide housing benefits for many public servants through allowances and access to mortgage finance.

Expert Analysis

Stable housing benefits contribute to workforce retention and support long-term financial security.

Angola

Angola has invested heavily in large-scale residential developments to address housing demand.

Expert Analysis

Increasing housing supply should be complemented by affordable mortgage products and sustainable financing.

Democratic Republic of Congo

Housing support is concentrated in mining, energy and industrial sectors, where employers often provide accommodation or housing allowances.

Expert Analysis

Employer-supported housing remains important where formal mortgage markets are less developed.

Namibia

National Housing Enterprise (NHE)

The National Housing Enterprise (NHE) is Namibia’s state-owned housing institution established under the National Housing Enterprise Act. Its mandate is to develop and finance affordable housing, acquire land, construct homes, and provide housing loans for low- and middle-income households. (NHE)

NHE Strategic Objectives

• Affordable housing delivery
• Housing finance
• Property development
• Home ownership promotion
• Urban development

Namibia

WASCOM and Performance Management

The Wages and Salaries Commission (WASCOM) was established in 1995 to simplify the public service pay structure and recommended a performance appraisal system linked to remuneration. A performance appraisal system was introduced in 1997–1998, but implementation faced criticism over inconsistent application and concerns about bias, leading to reforms over time. (UNAM Repository)

Objectives of the Performance Management System

• Improve productivity
• Reward performance
• Identify training needs
• Support promotion decisions
• Align individual objectives with organisational goals

Expert Analysis

A modern performance management system should emphasise measurable outcomes, transparency, continuous feedback, and staff development rather than relying solely on annual ratings.

Housing as an Employee Benefit

Proposed Namibia Employer Home Ownership Scheme

Benefits to Employers

• Higher employee retention
• Improved morale
• Reduced recruitment costs
• Better productivity
• Stronger employer brand

Benefits to Employees

• Increased home ownership
• Reduced financial stress
• Long-term wealth creation
• Greater family stability

Policy Recommendations

1. Strengthen partnerships between employers, banks, and the National Housing Enterprise.
2. Introduce employer-assisted home ownership programmes in both the public and private sectors.
3. Continue modernising performance management with objective, evidence-based assessments.
4. Expand financial literacy and mortgage counselling for employees.
5. Increase investment in affordable housing and serviced land.
6. Encourage regional cooperation and knowledge sharing on housing policy, including with Caribbean and African partners.

Conclusion

Countries that integrate housing support with effective public-sector management are better positioned to retain skilled employees and promote long-term economic resilience. Namibia can build on the work of the National Housing Enterprise, lessons from WASCOM, and international experience to create a more comprehensive employee home ownership framework that supports both workforce wellbeing and national development.

Hey friend!!!

Are you plagued by the hiccups? Haven't found a method to get rid of them?

Try this simple trick and see if it works for you!

1) Push out ALL your air in your lungs, as much as you can.

2) Take a deep breath, and fill up your lungs completely.

3) Hold your breath and wait about 10 seconds.

4) If you hiccup while holding your breath, it may take another try or two. Start at Step 1. It should work very quickly!

I hope this helps!

If you have another tried and true hiccup-defeating method, I'd love to hear it!!!

On Caribana’s Noise Pollution and Geeky White Noise Solutions

Last night was the first night of the Caribana and for the most part it was quiet. It was quiet until 23:30 when one of the less competent sound gremlins got to the audio mixing desk and made it tremendously loud. So loud that I could hear the music clearly. If I knew the artist I would tell you who was playing.

Given that noise pollution is encouraged, from music festivals in summer, on a regular basis, despite all the hot air about them caring for the environment I have come up with a splendid solution.

The solution that I favour is to wear the hearing protection I used as a luggage handler when I worked at Geneva airport in Switzerland. This muffles the noise pollution. Due to the ringing in my ears, when an environment is too quiet I also turned on two fans yesterday. A normal “warehouse” fan, and an air purifier, both at high power.

Next, I place airpods in my ears and watched Apocalypse Now from the comfort of my bed.

The idea is simple. I use the fans to generate white noise to cover most of the noise pollution from the festival. I then use the hearing protection to filter out the white noise, to attenuate everything further. The final step is the airpods and a film or TV series. The idea is to mask whatever remaining sound gets through all of these layers.

At this point you might be thinking “But that’s nucking futs, is the festival that loud?” and the answer is “yes”, but only when the gremlin was working as sound engineer, not earlier.If it wasn’t for that sound engineer/gremlin at the festival then the region would be quiet, especially during a heatwave.

Everyone is indoors, in their air conditioned homes, or cavern like houses, enjoying the cool air. They could also be at the lake side enjoying the sunshine, and the lake. If not by the lake then they flee to the cool, comfortable mountains instead, for pleasant hikes.

In essence, summer is here, and the decline in noise pollution is evident, except for the Caribana this week, and the Paléo next month.

The Quantified Festival Sleep Tax

According to Apple, Coros and Garmin I went to sleep around 2am rather than the usual midnight time. According to all three ecosystems I didn’t sleep enough. Having said this, Garmin thinks my battery recharged well.

The real issue is that the music might have been especially loud for two or three songs, but the sleep lag, resulting from it is an hour or two.

I got to sleep at 2am, which is okay if you get up at eight, or later.

Tomorrow I plan to get up at four or five o’clock to do the 6am, before work run. If I can’t get to sleep until two, then I get less than two hours of sleep.

The solution is simple. I have to sleep during the quiet part of the day, especially during this canicule, and recharge before we get to the noisy music festival noise pollution part of the day. I need to shift my circadian cycles to allow me to be rested at 5am, when I drive from Nyon to Morges to run for an hour.

On Age and Music Taste

When you’re young you see a festival and you think “Oh I want to see this group” and “oh I also want to see that group” so you volunteer, to go for free. That’s what I did when I was younger.

According to some, volunteering for a festival, enjoying it, and then complaining about it is ironic, but I don’t think so. In an age where we encourage people to walk, to cycle, to sleep well, and more it seems ironic that we allow an event to use industrial sound equipment, that is as loud as an aircraft on the ground to be seen as entertaining and fun.

This isn’t a folk festival with acoustic levels of music. This is an industrial stack of speakers that is as loud as a jet taking off that is allowed to go from 18:00 or so until 0300.

If an airport did the same people would be furious, and yet the sound level of the concert, and the plane taking off is the same, but one is encouraged, and the other is fined.

Well Rehearsed Auditory Self-Isolation

As a geek who loves technology I have found that the best solution is to have fans as white noise, and hearing protection to attenuate other noises, and finally a film, audio book or other source of sound to help drown out the loud part of the evening when a festival is on. It benefits both my mental health and my mental state.

The festival is invading my personal space, but with airpods, hearing protection and white noise, I can reclaim my solitude. Yesterday while watching Apocalypse Now.

Today my plan is an afternoon siesta and an attempt at poly-phasic sleep.

We’re in a heat wave, and waking at 04:30 to run at 6am makes a lot of sense, to avoid the heat.

On Caribana’s Noise Pollution and Geeky White Noise Solutions

Last night was the first night of the Caribana and for the most part it was quiet. It was quiet until 23:30 when one of the less competent sound gremlins got to the audio mixing desk and made it tremendously loud. So loud that I could hear the music clearly. If I knew the artist I would tell you who was playing.

Given that noise pollution is encouraged, from music festivals in summer, on a regular basis, despite all the hot air about them caring for the environment I have come up with a splendid solution.

The solution that I favour is to wear the hearing protection I used as a luggage handler when I worked at Geneva airport in Switzerland. This muffles the noise pollution. Due to the ringing in my ears, when an environment is too quiet I also turned on two fans yesterday. A normal “warehouse” fan, and an air purifier, both at high power.

Next, I place airpods in my ears and watched Apocalypse Now from the comfort of my bed.

The idea is simple. I use the fans to generate white noise to cover most of the noise pollution from the festival. I then use the hearing protection to filter out the white noise, to attenuate everything further. The final step is the airpods and a film or TV series. The idea is to mask whatever remaining sound gets through all of these layers.

At this point you might be thinking “But that’s nucking futs, is the festival that loud?” and the answer is “yes”, but only when the gremlin was working as sound engineer, not earlier.If it wasn’t for that sound engineer/gremlin at the festival then the region would be quiet, especially during a heatwave.

Everyone is indoors, in their air conditioned homes, or cavern like houses, enjoying the cool air. They could also be at the lake side enjoying the sunshine, and the lake. If not by the lake then they flee to the cool, comfortable mountains instead, for pleasant hikes.

In essence, summer is here, and the decline in noise pollution is evident, except for the Caribana this week, and the Paléo next month.

The Quantified Festival Sleep Tax

According to Apple, Coros and Garmin I went to sleep around 2am rather than the usual midnight time. According to all three ecosystems I didn’t sleep enough. Having said this, Garmin thinks my battery recharged well.

The real issue is that the music might have been especially loud for two or three songs, but the sleep lag, resulting from it is an hour or two.

I got to sleep at 2am, which is okay if you get up at eight, or later.

Tomorrow I plan to get up at four or five o’clock to do the 6am, before work run. If I can’t get to sleep until two, then I get less than two hours of sleep.

The solution is simple. I have to sleep during the quiet part of the day, especially during this canicule, and recharge before we get to the noisy music festival noise pollution part of the day. I need to shift my circadian cycles to allow me to be rested at 5am, when I drive from Nyon to Morges to run for an hour.

On Age and Music Taste

When you’re young you see a festival and you think “Oh I want to see this group” and “oh I also want to see that group” so you volunteer, to go for free. That’s what I did when I was younger.

According to some, volunteering for a festival, enjoying it, and then complaining about it is ironic, but I don’t think so. In an age where we encourage people to walk, to cycle, to sleep well, and more it seems ironic that we allow an event to use industrial sound equipment, that is as loud as an aircraft on the ground to be seen as entertaining and fun.

This isn’t a folk festival with acoustic levels of music. This is an industrial stack of speakers that is as loud as a jet taking off that is allowed to go from 18:00 or so until 0300.

If an airport did the same people would be furious, and yet the sound level of the concert, and the plane taking off is the same, but one is encouraged, and the other is fined.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: #Engineering professor Abbie Clarke-Sather and her students at the University of #Minnesota #Duluth spent 10 years building a #machine that gently pulls old #clothes apart fiber by fiber.

Unlike commercial shredders that chop fabric into unusable bits, this “fiber shredder” produces strands long enough to re-spin into new yarn. It's a small-scale #solution to the 17 million tons of #textiles landfilled in the #US each year.

So between the two parallel methods of #authn/#authz for this #kubernetes #cluster, which one is ordinary income tax and which one is Alternative Minimum Tax? Which one punishes you arbitrarily because some #committee couldn't be arsed to ensure that the #solution still applies only to the #problem it was originally meant to address and isn't giving nasty #surprises to unsuspecting people?

This is not the #solution - all the #UK #gas & #electricity #companies need to be taken back into #public #ownership, as do the #water & #rail #firms. They should NEVER have been privatised in the first place! These things are #public #utilities, & should satisfy the #criterion of public #utility - NOT that of #private #profit!
