"sterling silver tiffany cross charm"Aug 24 (Reuters) – U.S. Shares of Signet rose 23 percent to $63.74 in morning trading, while Tiffany was marginally up at $88.77. While shoppers have been shunning traditional jewelry such as solitaire engagement rings, there has been a marked shift towards brands that offer a more contemporary look such as the Tiffany Hardware collection and products from Pandora A/S , which are sold at Signet’s Jared stores. Tiffany & Co and Signet Jewelers Ltd reported bigger-than-expected quarterly sales and profit, helped by strong demand for their high-margin bracelets, rings, necklaces and branded jewelry. Analysts on average had expected Tiffany to post sales of $930.3 million and Signet $1.33 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Tiffany and Signet have shaken up their management and hired outsiders to fill important roles such as CEOs and chief designers, to give their brands a new look. Tiffany signed on pop star Lady Gaga to launch the Tiffany Hardware collection, which features items like the $13,500 Wrap necklace in 18k gold, while Signet sells items like the $10,999 Le Vian diamond earrings in 14k pink gold at its stores. Tiffany, which gets about 15 percent of its revenue from Japan, said overall sales rose 3 percent to $959.7 million in the reported quarter, while Signet’s rose 1.9 percent to $1.40 billion. Signet’s new Chief Executive Virginia Drosos started her role earlier this month, while Tiffany’s new CEO Alessandro Bogliolo will join in October this year. New York-based Tiffany said it also benefited from higher sales of wholesale diamonds and increased spending in Japan. Danish jeweler Pandora’s shares were up 2 percent in Copenhagen. Both the retailers beat analysts’ average estimates by the widest margins since October last year. Tiffany attributed its sales growth to strong demand for its high-end jewelry, such as the Tiffany T collection, while Signet said higher-priced branded jewelry sold better than lower-priced brands. Tiffany’s earnings came in at 92 cents per share, while Signet reported a profit of $1.33 per share.

Welsh Government strategy on the internal use of the Welsh language. The First Minister has also pledged to “mainstream” the Welsh language into the development of policy and to the way we work more generally. Welsh is spoken for cultural, commercial, social and emotional reasons, but it is also a vocational skill – a skill that should be better recognised and utilised. We are proud of the Welsh language and want it to thrive. This file may not be fully accessible. This will enable staff to work in Welsh from day to day and there will be a significant increase in the use of the language as a result. It is part of our shared inheritance and identity as a nation. This is the Welsh Government’s vision for the Welsh language in Wales (Cymraeg 2050: A million Welsh speakers, Welsh Government, 2017). It is to see, by 2050, a million speakers using the language in every aspect of their lives, and doubling the percentage of people in Wales who speak and use the language daily. Mae’r ddogfen yma hefyd ar gael yn Gymraeg. But its future across Wales cannot be taken for granted. The Welsh language – y Gymraeg – is integral to our culture, our heritage and our daily lives. So our goal is that the Welsh Government should gradually become a truly bilingual organisation; one in which it is routine for the Welsh and English languages to both be used naturally and interchangeably. This is something we can all do together. Implementing that vision will involve generational change, halting the decline of the last century. As a result the Welsh Government has already committed to “… Welsh by our own workforce” (Theme 2 Increasing the Use of Welsh, chapter 6 The Workplace). The year 2050: the Welsh language is thriving, the number of speakers has reached a million, and it is used in every aspect of life. There is an onus on us to take proactive steps to support and increase the use of the language, and to pass it on to future generations. Set in this context, the Welsh Government’s goal for the Welsh language within the organisation is that by 2050 all staff working for the Welsh Government will be able to understand Welsh. An important part of the vision involves renewing the association between the language and the workplace.

This is why our long term goal is to become a bilingual organisation.

"sterling silver children27s charms"It is something that can unite us as a nation. Investing in staff and providing opportunities to learn Welsh and develop language skills: it is crucial that effective and convenient training is provided, with people given both time and motivation to continuously improve their Welsh language skills. With that in mind this strategy is underpinned by the following principles. We need to establish a common understanding that the Welsh language belongs to us all whatever our linguistic background. We know that what we do within the Welsh Government will influence other parts of the public sector in Wales. This is especially the case in so far as those learning Welsh in our schools are concerned, who should understand that the language will be a useful skill for them in the workplace. Our strategy on the use of Welsh in the workplace is, in many respects, set by the political direction and legal framework that have already been established; to promote the language and to increase its use. But while some are comfortable speaking Welsh – more often than not as the language was passed on to them by their families – many are not. Eventually a choice of language will be available operationally within the organisation, meaning we will be able to routinely choose whether to communicate (orally and in writing) in Welsh or English, or indeed both. This has relevance that goes beyond being able to provide all outward facing services and internal formal communications in both languages. This is why our long term goal is to become a bilingual organisation. It is important to be clear what is meant by a bilingual organisation. Statistics show that 86% of people across Wales feel that the language is something to be proud of. The language is not exclusive to those who can speak it today. Making a long term commitment and leading the way: change will be incremental and will happen over time, but we intend to lead by example in the way we promote use of the language in the workplace. We are conscious of how using Welsh in the workplace can give the language more purpose and relevance. However, we are conscious also that steps taken to increase use of the language must be reasonable and proportionate, which means that becoming a bilingual organisation will involve change that happens gradually. Remaining an open, inclusive and diverse organisation: everyone has the potential to be a Welsh speaker and this strategy does not conflict with our commitment to being open, inclusive and diverse – although Welsh language skills will progressively be needed for more posts, developing a bilingual workforce does not mean (or imply) those skills being a universal pre-requisite for joining the Welsh Government.

This choice will be made possible by all staff being able to at least understand Welsh. This can be done in 2 ways; by existing staff starting to learn or improve and by more recruitment of those who already have Welsh language skills. The principle of continuous improvement over the long term will be based on the scale currently used to assess Welsh language skills. Both of these will be required, as – crucially – is plenty of time and support to adapt. They will be expected to lead by example in promoting use of the language and making its importance to the organisation clear. Our focus will be on encouraging people to learn and to continuously improve. This will of course take time and will require a long term commitment (firstly) to continuously improving our language skills and (secondly) to developing a working culture that understands and respects bilingualism. The shorter term objective will be reviewed in 2025 and a new objective and associated actions will be set for the following 5 year period – a process that will continue until the 2050 goal is reached. We want and need more Welsh Government staff to have Welsh language skills they can use in the workplace. As well as setting a long term 2050 goal we are also setting a shorter term objective for the period up to 2025 and 10 actions designed to help meet that objective. Our goal is to allow staff increased opportunities to acquire and then use their Welsh language skills in the workplace, and eventually allow for language choice. One of the most fundamental elements to the success of this strategy will be the learning and development on offer to staff across all levels of proficiency. These, in turn, contribute to reaching the 2050 goal. We envisage a process under which the strategy and changes in policy adopted under it are reviewed every 5 years. They will help others to use, learn and improve their Welsh language skills – and develop skills of their own. Learning Welsh and facilitating its use by Welsh speakers in day to day work will be a business need across the organisation, and line managers will need to adhere to that principle by demonstrating personal leadership. This strategy envisages reaching its goal more than 30 years from now, so for obvious reasons it will need to be periodically reviewed and changed. Our goal is to become a bilingual organisation by 2050, but over the first 5 years our objective is to see the Welsh Government become an exemplar organisation in increasing internal use of the language when assessed against comparable public sector organisations in Wales. The renewed focus on the language is to be led not just at the political level but also by senior officials.

However this will be amended to introduce a new minimum level of “courtesy” Welsh and to more accurately reflect the notion of being able to understand written and spoken Welsh (which is what we need to enable bilingual working). This will promote the value of the Welsh language to the organisation, and provide staff with a flexible and adaptable programme to address agreed organisational needs. This means that we must have regard to initiatives already pursued by other public bodies. The context for the Welsh Government becoming an exemplar organisation is that we are already committed to “leading by example” in so far as our internal use of Welsh is concerned. However, we need to bear in mind, firstly, that this is a long term strategy and, secondly, that (although this has not been done consciously) our recruitment processes have at times put insufficient emphasis on the importance of Welsh language skills. There have in recent years been only limited opportunities to recruit new staff and we do not expect this to change significantly any time soon. The programme will acknowledge the fact that people learn differently by offering a range of learning methods, including face-to-face classes, e-learning, informal group conversations, mentoring and online networks. In countries such as Canada, Belgium, Switzerland and the Basque Country working in two or more languages is considered to be normal and an inherent part of modern, representative government. Governments and other organisations in many countries already operate bilingually (or even multilingually) and what we propose for the Welsh Government is far from unique. We also intend to make better use of technology to produce Welsh language material without always necessarily having to send work to translation services. We will develop an innovative and wide-ranging choice of training. This will be made easier by increases in the number of Welsh speakers in society, in particular as more pupils leave school with improved skills. Our starting point will be to continue to aim to recruit the best people regardless of their background, with new staff being welcomed and supported to improve their Welsh language skills. The process of determining the actions in Chapter 3 has been informed by comparative analysis and most of the actions replicate existing good practice elsewhere in Wales (or internationally). It has also been an important feature of European institutions. However we will over time also need to recruit more people who already have Welsh language skills. We will focus on use of technology to make it easier to work in Welsh.

One of the Bracelets

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – Salvation Army leaders in Maryland say a donor recently dropped thousands of dollars worth of jewelry in a red kettle. He tells the Capital Gazette everyone was shocked to find out the ring and two bracelets were real. Capt. Ryan Vincent is commander of the Salvation Army in Annapolis. Other unusual donations have been reported in Salvation Army kettles around the country, including a gold bar in Kentucky and a more than century-old gold coin in North Carolina. Pieces found in a kettle are kept for 30 days, but if someone acknowledges leaving a piece with the bell ringer, it’s immediately considered donated. Pearl Eldridge is the ringer who collected the donation. A gemologist will soon examine the ring and second bracelet that features diamonds and rubies to determine their value. She called the donor a “quiet spirit,” and said the woman told her the pieces were sentimental but had been laying around. If big donations are found to be stolen, the charitable organization arranges them to be returned. One of the bracelets, a yellow-gold piece by Tiffany & Co., has been sold for $1,500. Vincent says the Salvation Army has a policy for dealing with jewelry donations.

Dining and entertaining changed drastically when we began to set our tables with sterling silver for holiday gatherings, wedding receptions, engagement parties and, in some of today’s homes, everyday meals. Indeed, owning lots of silver goods during the Victorian era was a big deal. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper. “Personally, I want a sterling-silver goblet set for 12 to 20; I would use them every time I had a dinner party. Event- and wedding-planning company maestro Tara Guérard says that some “investment pieces,” such as this widely enamored alloy, should see everyday use, and we’re inclined to agree. Today, special occasions might call for ceremonial silver designed by Tiffany & Co. or the seductive sterling-silver cutlery from remarkable Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, but there really doesn’t have to be an event on the calendar to trot out your finest tableware.

Neoclassical-style sterling-silver goods in Europe gained popularity in the late 18th century – a taste for sterling-silver tableware as well as tea sets had taken shape – while in the United States, beginning in the 19th century, preparing the dinner table with sterling-silver flatware had become somewhat of a standard practice. Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver – the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. Back then, displaying fine silver at home was a status symbol for middle-class American families. “Sterling-silver flatware is a must-have that you can use every single day, even to eat cereal,” she says.

The halogens are located on the left of the noble gases on the periodic table. This characteristic makes them more reactive than other non-metal groups. However, halogens readily combine with most elements and are never seen uncombined in nature. When a halogen atom is substituted for a covalently-bonded hydrogen atom in an organic compound, the prefix halo- can be used in a general sense, or the prefixes fluoro-, chloro-, bromo-, or iodo- can be used for specific halogen substitutions. These five toxic, non-metallic elements make up Group 17 of the periodic table and consist of: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). As a general rule, fluorine is the most reactive halogen and astatine is the least reactive. Halogen elements can cross-link to form diatomic molecules with polar covalent single bonds. Because the halogen elements have seven valence electrons, they only require one additional electron to form a full octet. When in the -1 oxidation state, with carbon or nitrogen in organic compounds, the halogens often form single bonds. Therefore, most of the chemical reactions that involve halogens are oxidation-reduction reactions in aqueous solution. Although astatine is radioactive and only has short-lived isotopes, it behaves similarly to iodine and is often included in the halogen group. Halogens form diatomic molecules (of the form X2, where X denotes a halogen atom) in their elemental states. Replacing the -ine ending with an -ide ending indicates the presence of halide anions; for example, Cl- is named “chloride.” In addition, halogens act as oxidizing agents-they exhibit the property to oxidize metals. Chlorine (Cl2) was the first halogen to be discovered in 1774, followed by iodine (I2), bromine (Br2), fluorine (F2), and astatine (At, discovered last in 1940). The name “halogen” is derived from the Greek roots hal- (“salt”) and -gen (“to form”). The bonds in these diatomic molecules are non-polar covalent single bonds. All halogens form Group 1 salts with similar properties. In these compounds, halogens are present as halide anions with charge of -1 (e.g., Cl-, Br-, etc.).

Together these words combine to mean “salt former”, referencing the fact that halogens form salts when they react with metals. Chloride ions are the most abundant ions that dissolve in the ocean. Fluorine also has a relatively small atomic radius. For example, fluorine can react with the noble gas xenon and form the strong oxidizing agent Xenon Difluoride (XeF2). Its oxidation state is always -1 except in its elemental, diatomic state (in which its oxidation state is zero). 1, 3, 4 and 5. Bromine is more reactive than iodine, but not as reactive as chlorine. In H2O solution, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a weak acid. There are many uses for fluorine, which will be discussed later. Since the bond that forms between the two chlorine atoms is weak, the Cl2 molecule is very reactive. Chlorine reacts with metals to produce salts called chlorides. Fluorine – Fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and is denoted by the symbol F. Elemental fluorine was first discovered in 1886 by isolating it from hydrofluoric acid. In its elemental state, it forms the diatomic molecule Cl2. Fluorine is extremely reactive and reacts directly with all elements except helium (He), neon (Ne) and argon (Ar). Chlorine also has two isotopes: 35Cl and 37Cl. Sodium chloride is the most prevalent compound of the chlorides. It was first discovered in 1826. In its elemental form, it is the diatomic molecule Br2. It appears as a pale yellow gas at room temperature. Also, bromine has two isotopes: 79Br and 81Br. Bromine consists of bromide salts, which have been found in the sea. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. 7). In addition, fluorine produces very powerful oxidants. Fluorine exists as a diatomic molecule in its free state (F2) and is the most abundant halogen found in the Earth’s crust. 7. At room temperature it appears as a light green gas. Chlorine – Chlorine has the atomic number 17 and the chemical symbol Cl. Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by extracting it from hydrochloric acid. Bromine – Bromine has an atomic number of 35 with a symbol of Br. At room temperature, bromine is a reddish- brown liquid.

"id pet silver sterling tag"One morning earlier this week a small crowd queued patiently on Fifth Avenue. Once the guard eased open the doors, uniformed staff were on hand to usher in customers, some upstairs to the cafe, others to browse the store’s offerings, from diamond engagement rings to novelty items like the $180 dog bowls. The company, which has a long history as America’s most glamorous jewellery retailer, is being bought up by French fashion house LVMH, it was announced this week. She runs a Tiffany-focused Facebook group with more than 15,000 members and owns hundreds of Tiffany pieces herself, funding her collection by reselling jewellery items online. It raises the question: will LVMH still want to target customers who are more likely to buy a sterling silver heart than a string of diamonds? But Tiffany hasn’t done enough to please investors in recent years. It’s open to everyone. While Tiffany’s flagship store is as drenched in luxury as ever, the message is clear: you don’t have to be one of New York’s wealthy elite to treat yourself to a bit of sparkle or a spot of breakfast here. Ms Hammer is, she admits, obsessed with the brand, so much so that her husband even had a gun made for her in Tiffany’s distinctive robin’s egg blue. Or will the new owner prefer to burnish the Tiffany brand by taking it upmarket? The Denison Stingerettes, high school students in town from Texas to perform in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, took selfies and mingled with tourists and older ladies in heavy make-up.

In March Kelly Hammer will go to the New York store for the first time in her life, a special trip to celebrate her fortieth birthday. The company, founded in 1837, is credited with inventing the modern engagement ring and pioneering the mail order catalogue. It has drawn in tourists for 150 years or more.

Some though are bound to remain loyal whatever happens. As a standalone, publicly-listed company, he argued, those were luxuries it didn’t have. But the purchase is a gamble on just how much Tiffany’s past will carry it through to a more glittering future. Today, it has more than 300 stores around the world, including more than 30 in China, its fastest growing market. It is a store, Ms Hepburn’s Holly Golightly declares, where “nothing very bad could happen”. Speaking to investors this week, LVMH chief financial officer Jean-Jacques Guiony said Tiffany needs time and money to implement its plans. Lorraine Hutchinson, research analyst at Bank of America. The company’s chairman at the time Walter Hoving knew exactly what he was doing, says John Loring, Tiffany’s former design director. Mr Hoving lobbied against having Marilyn Monroe in the lead role and took a tough line with the film company before opening the doors to the cameras. Bernard Arnault, Europe’s richest man who is at the helm of LVMH, is betting that Tiffany & Co can regain its former sparkle. In the film, even the request to have a toy ring (from a box of Cracker Jacks snacks) engraved is treated with consideration. But in the end it proved a brilliant marketing move, says Mr Loring. And Ms Golightly is very much a wayward maverick rather than a high class debutante. Now, as LVMH prepares to absorb Tiffany into its portfolio, the firm’s many existing fans are hoping it won’t lose its “essence” . The film helped to launch Tiffany’s global expansion. Under chief executive Alessandro Bogliolo, who has been in charge since 2017, Tiffany has begun a three year refurbishment of the Fifth Avenue store and more frequent jewellery releases, including partnerships with stars like Lady Gaga and Elle Fanning.

This would have been perceived as a contrast to the progressive debasement of the intervening 200 years, and would therefore be a likely source for a nickname. The Hanseatic League was officially active in the London trade from 1266 to 1597. This etymology may have been first suggested by Walter de Pinchebek (c.

Welsh Government strategy on the internal use of the Welsh language. Implementing that vision will involve generational change, halting the decline of the last century. The year 2050: the Welsh language is thriving, the number of speakers has reached a million, and it is used in every aspect of life. We are proud of the Welsh language and want it to thrive. It is part of our shared inheritance and identity as a nation. But its future across Wales cannot be taken for granted. As a result the Welsh Government has already committed to “… Welsh by our own workforce” (Theme 2 Increasing the Use of Welsh, chapter 6 The Workplace). Set in this context, the Welsh Government’s goal for the Welsh language within the organisation is that by 2050 all staff working for the Welsh Government will be able to understand Welsh. This will enable staff to work in Welsh from day to day and there will be a significant increase in the use of the language as a result. This is something we can all do together. Mae’r ddogfen yma hefyd ar gael yn Gymraeg. An important part of the vision involves renewing the association between the language and the workplace. The Welsh language – y Gymraeg – is integral to our culture, our heritage and our daily lives. Welsh is spoken for cultural, commercial, social and emotional reasons, but it is also a vocational skill – a skill that should be better recognised and utilised. There is an onus on us to take proactive steps to support and increase the use of the language, and to pass it on to future generations. This file may not be fully accessible. So our goal is that the Welsh Government should gradually become a truly bilingual organisation; one in which it is routine for the Welsh and English languages to both be used naturally and interchangeably. This is the Welsh Government’s vision for the Welsh language in Wales (Cymraeg 2050: A million Welsh speakers, Welsh Government, 2017). It is to see, by 2050, a million speakers using the language in every aspect of their lives, and doubling the percentage of people in Wales who speak and use the language daily. The First Minister has also pledged to “mainstream” the Welsh language into the development of policy and to the way we work more generally.

This is why our long term goal is to become a bilingual organisation.

It is something that can unite us as a nation. This has relevance that goes beyond being able to provide all outward facing services and internal formal communications in both languages. Eventually a choice of language will be available operationally within the organisation, meaning we will be able to routinely choose whether to communicate (orally and in writing) in Welsh or English, or indeed both. Our strategy on the use of Welsh in the workplace is, in many respects, set by the political direction and legal framework that have already been established; to promote the language and to increase its use. This is especially the case in so far as those learning Welsh in our schools are concerned, who should understand that the language will be a useful skill for them in the workplace. We need to establish a common understanding that the Welsh language belongs to us all whatever our linguistic background. But while some are comfortable speaking Welsh – more often than not as the language was passed on to them by their families – many are not. However, we are conscious also that steps taken to increase use of the language must be reasonable and proportionate, which means that becoming a bilingual organisation will involve change that happens gradually. Making a long term commitment and leading the way: change will be incremental and will happen over time, but we intend to lead by example in the way we promote use of the language in the workplace. We know that what we do within the Welsh Government will influence other parts of the public sector in Wales. With that in mind this strategy is underpinned by the following principles. It is important to be clear what is meant by a bilingual organisation. The language is not exclusive to those who can speak it today. Remaining an open, inclusive and diverse organisation: everyone has the potential to be a Welsh speaker and this strategy does not conflict with our commitment to being open, inclusive and diverse – although Welsh language skills will progressively be needed for more posts, developing a bilingual workforce does not mean (or imply) those skills being a universal pre-requisite for joining the Welsh Government. Investing in staff and providing opportunities to learn Welsh and develop language skills: it is crucial that effective and convenient training is provided, with people given both time and motivation to continuously improve their Welsh language skills. Statistics show that 86% of people across Wales feel that the language is something to be proud of. This is why our long term goal is to become a bilingual organisation. We are conscious of how using Welsh in the workplace can give the language more purpose and relevance.

This choice will be made possible by all staff being able to at least understand Welsh. Both of these will be required, as – crucially – is plenty of time and support to adapt. Learning Welsh and facilitating its use by Welsh speakers in day to day work will be a business need across the organisation, and line managers will need to adhere to that principle by demonstrating personal leadership. They will be expected to lead by example in promoting use of the language and making its importance to the organisation clear. The shorter term objective will be reviewed in 2025 and a new objective and associated actions will be set for the following 5 year period – a process that will continue until the 2050 goal is reached. They will help others to use, learn and improve their Welsh language skills – and develop skills of their own. Our focus will be on encouraging people to learn and to continuously improve. We want and need more Welsh Government staff to have Welsh language skills they can use in the workplace. This can be done in 2 ways; by existing staff starting to learn or improve and by more recruitment of those who already have Welsh language skills. Our goal is to allow staff increased opportunities to acquire and then use their Welsh language skills in the workplace, and eventually allow for language choice. Our goal is to become a bilingual organisation by 2050, but over the first 5 years our objective is to see the Welsh Government become an exemplar organisation in increasing internal use of the language when assessed against comparable public sector organisations in Wales. We envisage a process under which the strategy and changes in policy adopted under it are reviewed every 5 years. The renewed focus on the language is to be led not just at the political level but also by senior officials. This will of course take time and will require a long term commitment (firstly) to continuously improving our language skills and (secondly) to developing a working culture that understands and respects bilingualism. These, in turn, contribute to reaching the 2050 goal. One of the most fundamental elements to the success of this strategy will be the learning and development on offer to staff across all levels of proficiency. The principle of continuous improvement over the long term will be based on the scale currently used to assess Welsh language skills. This strategy envisages reaching its goal more than 30 years from now, so for obvious reasons it will need to be periodically reviewed and changed. As well as setting a long term 2050 goal we are also setting a shorter term objective for the period up to 2025 and 10 actions designed to help meet that objective.

However this will be amended to introduce a new minimum level of “courtesy” Welsh and to more accurately reflect the notion of being able to understand written and spoken Welsh (which is what we need to enable bilingual working). The process of determining the actions in Chapter 3 has been informed by comparative analysis and most of the actions replicate existing good practice elsewhere in Wales (or internationally). There have in recent years been only limited opportunities to recruit new staff and we do not expect this to change significantly any time soon. We will focus on use of technology to make it easier to work in Welsh. The context for the Welsh Government becoming an exemplar organisation is that we are already committed to “leading by example” in so far as our internal use of Welsh is concerned. It has also been an important feature of European institutions. This will promote the value of the Welsh language to the organisation, and provide staff with a flexible and adaptable programme to address agreed organisational needs. In countries such as Canada, Belgium, Switzerland and the Basque Country working in two or more languages is considered to be normal and an inherent part of modern, representative government. Governments and other organisations in many countries already operate bilingually (or even multilingually) and what we propose for the Welsh Government is far from unique. However, we need to bear in mind, firstly, that this is a long term strategy and, secondly, that (although this has not been done consciously) our recruitment processes have at times put insufficient emphasis on the importance of Welsh language skills. This will be made easier by increases in the number of Welsh speakers in society, in particular as more pupils leave school with improved skills. We also intend to make better use of technology to produce Welsh language material without always necessarily having to send work to translation services. We will develop an innovative and wide-ranging choice of training. However we will over time also need to recruit more people who already have Welsh language skills. The programme will acknowledge the fact that people learn differently by offering a range of learning methods, including face-to-face classes, e-learning, informal group conversations, mentoring and online networks. This means that we must have regard to initiatives already pursued by other public bodies. Our starting point will be to continue to aim to recruit the best people regardless of their background, with new staff being welcomed and supported to improve their Welsh language skills.
