Sinn Fein took 27 seats against 25 for the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party, determined to remain part of the UK). The political and economic consequences of this vote, will be considerable, in Europe and internationally. ix years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, no part of the United Kingdom has fele the sting inthe tail ‘more than Northern Ireland, where Brexit laid the groundwork for Sinn Fein’s remark- able rise in legislative elections on May sth. With almost al ofthe votes counted, Sinn Fein, the main Irish nationalist party, declared victory, racking up 27 ofthe 90 seats available inthe Northern Ireland Assembly, the most of any party in the territory. The Democratic Unionist Party, which represents those who want Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom, slipped to second place, with 2a seats “Today ushers in a new era which I believe presents us all with an opportunity to rem- agine relationships in tis society on thebasis of fairness, on the basis of equality and on the stinginthetallunpessant consequence /tolay, laid tale groundwork prea he way se acensiontosices, ‘main principal /torackup to accurulateoobtain/ avallableaccessble/toremain‘a%ay/toslp hee £0 fat tousher‘ointrosice/falmess equity jstice/ 207022 basis of social justice,” said Michelle O'Neill, ‘the party's leader who is set to become the re _gion’s first minister.

Forall ofthe history of Sinn Fein's victory ~ the first for a party that calls for a united Ireland and has vestigial ties to the Irish Re- publican Army — the election results are less a breakthrough for Irish nationalism than a ‘marker ofthe demoralizaton of unionist voters, the disarray oftheir leaders, and an electorate that put more of a priority on economic issues than sectarian struggles.

"That fits uncomfortably with the architects of the peace agreement. There's no dominant group row. We'e all minorities” In this more complex landscape, Hayward said, Sinn Fein was likely to govern much asit ‘campaigned, by focusing on competent man- agement and sound policies rather than mobi lizing an urgent campaign for Irish unity. ONeill, the Sinn Fein leader in Northern Ireland, hailed what she called “the election of 1 generation.” But she said little about Irish unity.

Hayward said the DUP faced a difficult choice in whether to take part in the next government. Ifitrefuses, it would be violating the sprit of the Good Friday Agreement. It would also risk further alienating voters, particularly “soft unionists who have littl patience for contin- ued paralysis in the government. But if it joins the next government, that brings its own perils. The DUP swung to the right during the campaign to fend off a chal- lenge from the more hard-line Traditional Unionist Voice party. It has made its oppos: tion to the Northern Ireland Protocol an arti- cle of faith “There may be serious talks now about unionist unity but there will beno government unless the protocol goes” said David Campbell, chair of the Loyalist Communities Council, which represents a group of pro-union paramilitary groups that vehemently op: pose the protocol ‘That puts the DUPS future outof ts hands, since the de cision to overhaul the proto col lies with the British gov ernment.

In the past few years, however, and espe: cially as the pandemic has forced work from the controlled enclosure of the corporate office to the wilderness ofthe kitchen table, both the scope and scale of corporate surveil- lance have ballooned. 2.Astudy by the European Commission found that global demand for employee spying soft- ware more than doubled between April 2019 and April 2020.

New York joins Con: necticut and Delaware, which have required similar disclosures since the late 19908 and the early 2000s, respectively, and Europe, where companies have had to prove that monitoring policies have legitimate business interests— such as preventing intellectual-property theft cor improving employee productivity—since 1995, More such rules are almost certain to emerge.

Some risk being coun- terproductive. Research has associated ‘monitoring with declines in trust and higher levels of stress, nether of which is obviously conducive to high performance. 10, With awslike New Yorks coming into force, plenty of employees are abouttolear that their employers viewson the appropriateness of such products may be quite distinct from their own.

We weren't able to just cherry: pick the most beautiful species — rather, the 40 mages were chosen for their conservation status. Many of these specimens are over 100 years old 18. What was your specific process? ‘A: The majority of the im- ages were made from over 10,000 separate shots per insect and took approxi- mately three weeks each to create. I usually work on three images at once. While I photograph one insect, 1 have a bank of computers that are processing the im- ages from the previous ‘week's shoot, while other computers are used for retouching and build- ing the insect image that I photographed two ‘weeks prior. There could be 25 different sec- tions for one insect, and each one of those sections can be made up of over 500 separate shots. Once those individual sections have been flattened down, so they're fully focused, they are joined together like a jigsaw puzzle to produce the final image. 9.@: What do you hope to accomplish with these images? T want to raise awareness of the insect decline crisis and have conversations to help the public understand that we need biodiver- sity in the insect world. I want people to be in awe of their beauty, but to also be damn sad about why they're being put in front of them. 10. 9: How did it feel to work with organisms that no tonger exist? ‘A:To know an insect will never exist on this planet again, primarily because of human influence, is upsetting and emotional.
