Hang Out with a Photographer and Capture HK at its Best
Aneeza is really kind person. She brought me to the local area and gave me some tricks to make nice pictures. I think it so nice for visitors who are interested in taking pictures of HK to take her service.
Explore Hong Kong Your Way on a Private Walking Tour
Very informative and delightfully engaging guide who captivated us for 4 hours. After we finished, we could not believe that we walked for 4 hours. More amazing was the depth of our tour from our hotel (Grand Hyatt) to the Central District of Hong Kong Island then through many neighborhoods to fully appreciate the life of the average resident of the island. We saw the upscale Soho and Hollywood areas as well. Truly and amazing way to spend our first day in Hong Kong. We are not "market/stall" shoppers but anyone who wants that experience would find more than ample opportunities during these 4 hours.

Mapping the World's Renewable Energy Potential
As renewable energy technologies become more competitive, investing in them is becoming a more viable venture. Yet, uncertainties about cost and ROI are still keeping some investors at bay.
Wind blows, rain falls and the sun shines, but differently at different times and locations, making wind, hydroelectric and solar power dependent upon weather and climate systems. A new Northwest-based energy efficiency company, 3TIER, is using their science skills and computer smarts to remove some of that guesswork.
Over 90 percent of the renewable energies used for electricity generation are weather-driven; in other words, they are completely dependent on the weather/climate system for their fuel. So while these sources of renewable energy have the capability to liberate us from our dependence on fossil fuels, they introduce another complicating dependency: the weather. This dependency affects all aspects of weather-driven renewable energy projects: from proper placement to ongoing operation and integration.
This map of the United States shows the amount of available solar power, ranging from from 4 (blue) to 5.5 (red) kWh/m/day.
The 3TIER team uses their technology-assisted powers of analysis to calculate the weather and climate and its impacts on renewable energy. The group customizes their forecasts with data from each client's site to help them save money and optimize power. They take multiple readings from the site, for an extended period of time, and combine the reading with weather and climate knowledge for that region to tell wind farmers, for example, an estimate of how much energy they'll be generating, and at what time.
The group recently finished helping oilman turned renewable energy propent T. Boone Pickens illustrate his national plan to help propel the U.S. energy economy with wind. Using wind maps from 3TIER, the Pickens Plan explains how the U.S. can use wind power to meet more than 20 percent of its electricity demand within 10 years. (View a video about the plan here).
3TIER is currently working on a project called REmapping the World, which combines their prediction technology and analysis with Google maps to assess solar and wind energy potential from locations around the world. So far, they have mapped North America, but they plan to map the renewable energy potential of the entire world by 2010.
Take a FirstLook at the project's "Find Wind Fast" function. Here clients from renewable energy project operators to developers, financiers to marketers, can select the height of a proposed turbine and its location to get an estimated read on how much wind power is in that area. For more exact details, clients can order custom reports that provide information like monthly windspeed and power capacity, hourly windspeed and power distribution and more.
But you don't need to be one of their clients to play around with the maps, and it is pretty fun to look at the potential from afar as well as to click around and see how much specific potential lies where.
Potential just happens to be the perfect word to describe this project, this company and the renewable energy movement. Being able to more accurately estimate how much we can depend on renewable energy systems will only aid in their much needed proliferation, and hopefully, forecasting where the wind will blow will only become more valuable with time.

Dealing with fear
Fear of whitewater is caused like any fear: Confusion and a lack of specific understanding allow your mind to manufacture anxiety, ill ease, and fear emotions. Specifically identifying the risks and choosing exactly where you paddle will go a long way toward harnessing your fears. Very few hazards are lurking in every rapid. Knowing when not to worry will undoubtedly make most of the sport more pleasant.
A common way to aggravate fears is by paddling with groups whose experience and thrill interests differ from yours. Choose your paddling companions carefully, and paddle with people of similar skills and interests. The purpose is to challenge yourself while having fun.
To deal with your river fears, remember that fear is a deeply ingrained protective mechanism. The horrible feelings you get are nothing more than extra energy for doing battle. Instead of thinking of yourself as nervous, think of having extra energy. Treat your mind to rerun images of making rapids successfully rather than dwelling on the worst that can happen.
Your vision patterns will match the water difficulty you paddle. Beginners tend to look only at the bow and slightly ahead. Intermediates tend to see eddies along the shore and look well down the rapid. Expert paddlers catch eddies while scanning downstream for hazards and upstream for other boaters. Developing your vision patterns will actually improve your skill level.
Preventable Risks in Whitewater Boating
Attitude plays a huge role in successful paddling. Kent Ford, ACA instructor trainer educator and world-champion paddler, recounts this story about the role of a paddler's mind-set:
On the first day of a beginner course, I remember standing thigh deep in Lake Fontana, gazing off at the southern tip of the Smoky Mountains, waiting patiently for the last student in my kayak class to paddle over for rolling instruction. The extra time it took him to drift to me provided clues to his fears. And, as I had guessed, he panicked when he finally let his boat flip upside down. "How do you feel?" I queried. "Okay," he muttered. "What's on your mind?" I asked. "Drowning," he admitted.
Gulp. As a professional instructor, I believe in insulating my students from unnecessary worry by teaching skills in a logical, reassuring progression. An outline of the day's activities, closely supervised wet exits, and maintaining a high regard for safety precautions usually serves this purpose. Unfortunately, this whitewater-bound beginner had arrived with fearful misconceptions about safety in the sport. His well-meaning friends had sent him off with intimidating comments about his poor, ownerless dog starving. They had made teasing claims to his posthumous bank account. Then, after signing the purposefully graphic course waiver, my student's insecurities had toppled.
"Are you afraid of drowning here on the lake?" I asked. "No," he swallowed. "On the river then?" I pursued. "Well . . . ," he paused. "How many of the 150,000 people who travel the Nantahala each year do you think drown?" I asked, imagining my student's mind racing into the double digits. "Two drownings in 20 years," I explained. "Neither was a kayaker. One wasn't wearing a life jacket."
Immediately following this incident I described to the whole class the five preventable causes of death that give whitewater sports a risky reputation.
"Number one, alcohol is a common cause of accidents. That is clearly not an issue for us today. Number two, not wearing a tight-fitting PFD. Our class has already discussed this topic. Number three, no prior education in the sport causes 95 percent of whitewater accidents. Here we are in class, avoiding that mistake. Number four, flooded rivers are a frequent killer. Sadly, we are in the midst of a five-year drought. Although we would welcome higher water, floods are certainly not a risk to us today. Number five, hypothermia. Clearly I am in the greatest danger, shivering slightly from three hours of roll instructing. You, however, are in no risk, basking in 90-degree Fahrenheit [32 degree Celsius] temperatures with a wet suit available."
I noticed everyone's shoulders relax as I reviewed whitewater sports' five unnecessary killers. The class closed with smiles on everyone's face.

Big leap: Elephants, rhinos too big to jump
Q. Is it true that elephants are the only quadrupeds that cannot jump? –S. Bubka
A. Elephants can't jump from ground level anyway, nor can turtles or large crocodiles; even hippos probably can't or don't, says Royal Veterinary College, London, biomechanics expert John R. Hutchinson in New Scientist magazine.
"However, the truth is no research has looked at this question in a rigorous way, just scattered anecdotes and folklore, like the tired myth that elephants have four knees (they actually have two)," Hutchinson says.
University of Leeds zoologist R. McNeil Alexander notes that racehorses weighing about half a ton are among the largest quadrupeds that can make impressive jumps, such as the highest fence on the Grand National course at 1.8 meters (6 feet) high. But whether an elephant or hippopotamus can jump depends on the definition used.
"A film I took of a white rhino galloping showed that all four feet were off the ground at once," Alexander writes. "I don't think of that as jumping, but I can't think of any clear-cut definition of jumping that would exclude it."
Really heavy animals can hardly jump or land without injury, notes Jon Richfield of Somerset West, South Africa.
So, don't jump to conclusions if a large animal chases you over a ditch: "J.H. Williams in his book Elephant Bill relates how a stampeding female rhino jumped a ditch handily, though she went lame in both forefeet soon after," Richfield says.
Q.Do heavier or lighter ski jumpers jump farther? –J.-C. Killy
A. Even though heavy ski jumpers accelerate faster downhill and thus achieve greater takeoff speeds, lighter jumpers rise much higher into the air and enjoy longer glides, says ScienceIllustrated.com magazine. All things considered, light ski jumpers have the advantage.
To verify this, researchers at the University of Graz in Austria used computer simulations and wind-tunnel testing, varying parameters such as downhill and takeoff speeds, angles, air resistance, and lift– all of them affected by a skier's weight.
Their key finding: as much as an extra foot of jump distance can be gained for each pound a skier loses. For this reason, many ski jumpers maintain a dangerously low body mass index (BMI), and the sport has seen several cases of anorexia and bulimia. To counter this, the International Ski Federation has stipulated that athletes with BMIs below a certain point will be penalized by having to use shorter skis, which makes it harder to jump as far.
"Still, computer models show that this handicap does not completely negate the benefit gained by lightness," the magazine reported.
Q. At a restaurant, what's a common circumstance where nonconformity can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth? –P. Chang
A. "I'll have the chicken," your friend says. "Oh," you think, "that's what I was going to order. I guess I'll get something else."
When people dine out together, they often seem to feel under an obligation to order different things, say Roy Baumeister and Brad Bushman in Social Psychology and Human Nature. Research by R. Ariely and J. Levav found that groups ordered different foods— and different beers– more often than would be expected by chance alone.
Then a second experiment showed this didn't happen when test subjects were instructed to order in secret. In both cases, patron satisfaction fell when diners followed their impulse to order something different.
The explanation for this is not entirely clear, but it seems conformity is not always so bad: "The people who order the same item when it is their first choice end up enjoying it more, on average, than the ones who switch to a second choice just to be different."

Change is the only constant thing in this world- this is expressed by a world famous quotation. The quotation holds true especially for the technology, and the changes in regular lives brought forth by this disruptive technology. There are thousands of examples of such businesses/technologies, but here I have compiled a number of the businesses which have had an impact much stronger than the others. All the innovations has significantly altered the way I do things. Some of them lead to higher productivity while some of them make it possible for me to do things that was not possible previously. Let us look at these amazing invention and I hope you enjoy them.
Microblogging notion introduced by Twitter has actually disrupted the way many companies are run. From political leaders to famous celebrities to news channel. Virtually all users of the World Wide Web have felt their daily lives affected by Twitter. You should be aware of that Twitter played a crucial part in it, if you remember the political revolution in Egypt in 2011. In 2013, a billionaire investor sent out a tweet that was christened the multibillion-dollar tweet. In the year 2014, Twitter was flooded with over half a million tweets completely devoted to the FIFA World Cup. Twitter continues to redefine the countless things in our life like news journalism and political activism.
The idea of social media has been existent for a long time but it was Facebook that made social media a fundamental part of our everyday lives. Facebook is not without its controversy but its influence is so enormous that virtually all of the World political leaders are including Facebook as a political medium. It's just an incredible phenomenon to many of us due to how it lets us join with quite a few our long lost buddies. As of late 2014, close to a billion people are available on Facebook which makes Facebook's user database the largest on the planet. I've always tried to fathom over that time when every single person in the planet becomes a member of Facebook.
With more people using smartphones these days, Internet traffic is exploding and data is not becoming increasingly expensive. Whatsapp is the messaging system which is responsible to bring down the golden era of Short Messaging System or SMS as we know it. Whatsapp owes its tumultuous accomplishment to effectiveness and the ease for communicating with each other, it entitles its users. Users can produce a group and broadcast a message to the whole group with an individual click. Before Whatsapp, that's considered a herculean task if not impossible. The Whatsapp revolution saw the company valued at $20 billion when it was acquired by Facebook back in the year 2014.
The most'm not especially knowledgeable about technology but I always make an effort to keep up with the newest technologies so as to remain useful. Every day you'll find a new technology or initiation created. And by the looks of it, the endless changes and technology disruptions in our lives won't end anytime soon. I consider a growing number of businesses revolutionized and will be changed by upcoming tumultuous innovations, whatever they may be. Don't hesitate to drop a comment below in case you have a few other technologies that are exciting to share or in the event you have at least something to add to all these innovations.
Steve Jobs, among the most enigmatic leaders and innovator of our generation, passed away in the year 2011. Nonetheless his legacy lives with Apple becoming the world's most high priced business in the year 2014, on many years later. Apple has still remained the same firm that was close that it consistently has been, even several years after the passing of Jobs. There are lots of intriguing facts which you likely have never heard of unless an Apple fanatic are you. Here are a few fascinating facts about Apple that will do nothing. The list below presents some unknown facts about Apple who are manufacturers of the radical iPods and iPads.
Before the Android platform of Google grew to be what we know now, we all are mindful that Microsoft was the largest enemy to Apple Inc. However, what most people may not be aware of is that back in 1997, Bill Gates had really invested up to $150 million in Apple. Looking back at the history of the technology company, you would realize that this is Jobs had simply made a comeback to Apple after he had been fired a few years and that Apple was on the point of collapsing. By 2003, Microsoft had fully sold off their shares in Apple yet if they had kept the possession, in 2014 it'd have been worth a staggering $20 billion – .
Besides revolutionizing the music business, Apple revolutionized the cell phone industry and moved on. The rate at which Apple is adding its cashpile is really fascinating. By the year 2014, Apple had $160 billion in cash available. Just compare this to the $85 billion held by Microsoft and by the US Treasury by the end of the first quarter of 2014. And to illustrate even further, this money is enough to buy an iPod for each person in America and still not get depleted. A country would be put at the top 50 biggest market in the world due to Apple's enormous cash reserve, if it was it.
You'll be shocked at the number of iPhones sold every single day. A staggering 40 million iPhones are sold every quarter. This means Apple sells around 400,000 new iPhones every single day. To place this number in view, it is more than the absolute variety of infants being born every day. Merely for your knowledge, the current worldwide birth rate is about 300,000 per day. As a matter of fact, their 2014 report suggested the amount of new iPhones being created per day to be over 500,000 which in terms of data alone, no other manufacturer comes close to what they've accomplished.
Apple is known worldwide for their iconic layout. There's no such thing as an unsuccessful Apple store as every outlet is regarded as a financial producing machine. They have broken records previously held by Tiffany and Co which used to be the leader in regards to the amount of money. Nevertheless, Apple broke their limits back in 2013 with each Apple store reportedly generating twice as Tiffany and Co in the last revelations. When the former record holder sells $3,017 Apple records $6,050 for every square foot. Till date, no firm come close to this record held by Apple Inc. or has reached
Since we're at the beginning of the new millenium, Apple keeps on amazing every one of us at how well they've achieved considerably. As as a brand and a business, they continue to shatter beliefs of what's potential. Apple carries on, flying higher than any human would ever have envisioned. Steve Jobs' successor, Tim Cook definitely has a giant task ahead of him, filling such huge boots. A lot of people believe that Apple's 'best days' are over Tim Cook and his group has by now revealed they can keep up the business's increase at least for now. But we know that nothing lasts for eternity. The coming few years will be fascinating and everybody will be intently observing in case the planned Apple's release of watch will be another success or failure.
With the advancements in technology, the day we live in a world that is totally wireless is not as far as we may think. We're at the beginning of a new era, the era referred to as 'The Internet of Things' by many, where the usage of technology is prevalent far and wide. It's certain that all these wirelessly-interconnected devices that we use now are very advantageous to our daily lives, certainly making the way we control the multiple tools that we use daily much more convenient. We cannot really escape the fact our wireless world is part of our day-to-day living, that is why I figured out that digging out and compiling a number of the very most common myths and assumptions about wireless technology would be intriguing so that we see if they're actually true or simply baseless arguments.
It is extremely difficult to escape from electromagnetic waves created by our wireless devices, unless you reside in an exceedingly remote rural area somewhere off our modern civilization. Nearly every home has WiFi technology. One key question that lingers in our thoughts, and is often put up for discussion, is how our well-being is affected by these wireless transmissions. A number of research have been done on wireless transmissions with doctors and scientists questioning the dangerous levels of carcinogenic emitted from the devices. But it seems that none has been able to reason that these wireless transmissions are introducing substantial danger to our body. I am still a bit paranoid about it although I love my wireless devices. But now, I've attempted to make it a habit to keep the devices away from me when I'm not using them.
In recent years, we have found the majority of cell phone users change to smartphones. We've also seen how having a cellphone is a necessity. But there is something that all guys have to take note of. Some physicians maintain that a man's fertility level can be lowered by the radiation from cells. The justification behind this reasoning is logical and quite easy. The radiation emission interferes with the sperm, weakening or even killing them apparently when a cellphone is left in a pant pocket. It's always great to be caution but I personally believe this is really a myth that contains little or no truth in it.
A lot of people think that higher speed always equal better performance, particularly now that there are new WiFi routers. They fail to see that the real performance depends on their mobile devices connected through the routers. The latest Wi-Fi routers support the latest standards which demand the use of multiple antennas for carrying the data, and this is actually the reason why these latest Wi Fi routers deliver such high speeds. But all these will not be useful if our mobile device doesn't support the latest standards. The very next time you are searching for a brand new router, ended up in disappointment and make sure you assess the limitation of your apparatus rather than simply choosing the most rapid router.
The utilization of wired technology is nearing its end, this is what some people have started to call. This thought does make sense when you find virtually every apparatus being wirelessly capable. But I really don't think it hit exactly correct on the mark, if you think about it deeper. Let us take for example the wireless sound streaming that is made possible with the usage of Bluetooth technology. They still require a cable to be recharged every now and then though most of these devices include a rechargeable battery. There are lots of hurdles that still must be overcome for an entire removal of wires in our lives to eventually become viable. It's only my view, but I don't really see this happening.
It is a fact that wireless technology is altering the way we interact and carry out our day-to-day tasks. At the same time, it's quite intriguing to understand how some of us have wireless technology that is entirely misunderstood. I am not a wireless expert and what I have discussed here is nothing more than my private opinion on a subject matter that I think is intriguing. My hope is that from this straightforward discussion, you are definitely going to be able to distinguish myths and misconceptions from facts about wireless technology. I may be wrong about certain things and do feel free to drop your opinion below, since my wireless expertise is quite limited.
Many matters that are intriguing exist on our planet with the genesis and ending of several these only having no logical interpretation or explanation. The most peculiar of all are guaranteed to make you go gaga although there are several strange spots in the world. As someone who adores traveling and finding uncommon things concerning our world, I have as of late compiled a list of the most unusual areas to be discovered.

They would probably give the like of Manhattan and Tokyo as their reply, in case you ask a big variety of people that's the densest city in the whole world. It comes to be that even though these cities are densely populated, it is in no place as compact as Kowloon. Some people find this to be amazing since those who have been to Manhattan or Tokyo already believed that the limit is around there. If a city is highly populated, it is not easy to imagine how anybody could survive living in it. That's what Kowloon residents have been living in for quite a long time now. Kowloon's population density is in fact about 5 times higher than that of New York city.
In a little island town named Miyake-Jima south of Tokyo, another extremely odd phenomenon exists in that every resident has to carry a gas mask always. This is because these individuals live in the center of one of the most lethal volcanos, Mount Oyama. A public emergency system stands by ready to alert residents of any upsurge in noxious gas.

One shade that seems to be the favorite of many folks is blue and one possible explanation could be that according to the color theory, looking at blue color gives peace and firmness.

Place against a backdrop of picturesque mountains, every building and painting in this town is completed using a blue colour. Affordable is also a popular tourist destination and characterizes the town easy to find accommodation. Envisioning how everyone appears when walking along the blue streets is already fairly intriguing. It is something for me to find out and I hope I'll possess the solution shortly.
New Zealand is quite well-known for its sheep population that is multiple times larger than its human population. But, the most bizarre thing is found in the city of Lawndale which has more dead people than the public that was living. This weird, spooky city is home to fewer than two thousand living individuals and over 1. 5 million dead people. This fact alone should give you a sense of how spooky every corner of the city and an area it's must have been turned into a graveyard. While there are no specific reasons for visiting such a spot, you can feel free to check it out next time San Diego is in close view.
This is only a minor list of the oddest areas existing on this planet. In my opinion, seeing such locations is a must for anybody who's looking to be amazed and widen their outlook of the entire world.

More strange places will be discovered, that is for sure therefore I am going to attempt to keep updating this list.

Talk to any girl and none of them will inform you that they do not need to seem wonderful. Possibly it is because of our human nature as we have a tendency to get bored over the same thing and that's why the notion of delightful is something that always changes as time passes. While there are several features that define a woman's look, hair is probably one of the most significant and that is why it has been labeled as 'crown'. Every girl would adore to have long straight glossy hair but it is something that only the unusual few are obviously produced with and something left to be desired among most. To the majority of the citizenry, our hair is somewhat curled even though different individuals have various magnitude of curliness. How you choose to get your hair straightened can be through two distinct means. Trusting the job to the professional by going to the beauty parlor represent the first alternative. This could be the handiest option as it does not require anything from your part except getting ready with few hundred dollars funds. The other choice is of less convenience but more economical but one that needs certain amount of homework on your own part and getting the Best Hair Straightener is something that you should not skimp for whatever reason.
The way the hair can be straightened into these straight shiny hair can be completed via two means. Using a blow dryer is the first signifies. While it may be the most economical and easiest way to straighten your hair, even the best-rated blow dryer might not generate the optimum effects. Compared to the 2nd signifies, it generally takes longer amount of time to get exactly the same job done. Using a hair straightener would be the other way.

This really is something which you want to be extremely careful particularly since we're speaking about the most significant physical parts that define our appearance. It's naive to think that one can get the best hair straighteners for the cost of a couple of meals.

There's a cost you must pay to make yourself appear beautiful. While you might appreciate a increase in your looks with the help of long straight glossy hair, be aware of the consequences that may come with it even before you begin asking for the list of the best hair straighteners for 2014.

While the amount of harm may change, one factor for certain is these treatments will cause some harm to your hair. The routine use of conditioner is one easy way that can be chosen to be able to restore the health of your hair.
One part that usually separates the best hair straighteners in the average models will function as the substance that is used to make the plate. The recent ceramic plate innovation now means that you've got an choice to pick aside in the traditional titanium or metal plate that was once the defacto substance option. Online hair straightener reviews between both substances happen to be somewhat mixed. The faster heat and more uniform temperature is something which has frequently been correlated with ceramic hair straightener. There has also been some who assert that their hair is less frizzy when they use ceramic hair straightener evaluate to the titanium version.
Since the beginning of time, hair has always been a crown to some woman's attractiveness. The notion of having that long shiny hair remains the innermost visions of every girl but it's always great to comprehend the basic tradeoff that comes with it. Be suggested that going to the salon does not guarantee that the chemical agent employed during the treatment procedure will be free of dangerous substances and it is your obligation to check together ahead. A dozen of such harmful effects as moderate skin irritation and hair loss have already been apparently due to the excessive presence of such compounds as formaldehyde. And if you choose the Do-It-Yourself approach, don't get your hair straightener evaluation softly , nor skimp on getting the best hair straightener as the possible damage of selecting a badly designed version can be acute.

When your kid is prepared to transition from their bassinet stroller or crib into a toddler bed, you will need to find bedclothes that'll fit the dimensions bed you have selected. Toddler beds aren't similar to twin beds and thus it is imperative to find specially designed sheets and comforters that can properly fit the toddler bed. Some varieties of these beds can be found with detachable side-rails that may keep your kid from fall or harm, if the kid happens to roll out of bed. This side rail makes sure a twin comforter or blanket challenging, so you'll need to buy the proper sized bedding. Along with the materials quality, measurement is one variable that needs to be taken into consideration in your pick for the best crib mattress.
One thing that parents frequently make a mistake is to suppose that the best crib mattress is one that will additionally be best for them. As an example, due to the bone structure in grown-ups, many people may need extra soft mattress as a way to keep good posture and sound sleep. But infants are different and their bones are still soft and tender unlike adults. As urged by specialists and authorities, the best crib mattress option should be hard as it is better in preventing SIDS. Parents are also advised to check for any use of dangerous substance used in the building of the mattress as infants will likely chew and bite on their mattresses.
Your toddler might not be utilized to pillows. It's recommended that children below the age of 2 years should not use pillows while sleeping due to suffocation risks. Actually, small babies cannot manage on own and alter their location from pillow and breathe, hence it's very high-risk in order that they should never be given a pillow. However, pillows can be added once they change over with their large toddler beds. Make an effort to purchase a toddler sized pillow if one is accessible. These specifically made pillows are very comfy for your own toddler. These pillows measure about 12 by 16 inches and are merely two to three inches thick. Before buying any type of pillow, ensure the pillow is safe for your child and this you'll be able to check by pressing down in the center of the pillow. After pressing the pillow, it should have the capacity to recover its original shape in few minutes or else it can be unpleasant for the toddler. Overly soft pillows must also be avoided as they boost the potential for suffocation.
Your pick of the best toddler bed is dependent upon whether you are purchasing for your boy or girl. The natural shades for boy will be blue and the good news is parents have plenty of style to choose from motifs adopted from Disney's popular characters like Light Mc Queen. Women on the other hand, are generally attracted to motifs that are more female in shades and the girls' best crib set usually take on such motifs as Cinderella. In regards to infant bedding, the only limit can simply be visited by the sum of funds that you simply have. Some parents may even choose the best crib skirts while others only view it as unnecessary spending. Early phase of parentage is definitely exciting but don't forget that the road ahead is still long and a winding one. Be prudent and plan your purchases accordingly. If I have limited budget and requested to choose between travel bassinet and crib mattress, I'd undoubtedly not hesitate on obtaining the best crib mattress but I might skimp on obtaining a travel bassinet.
Going through pregnancy could be a truly tiring encounter but once you've got your newborn in your arms, all the fatigue will immediately vanish. Undoubtedly it is always uneasy to be a parent of a baby but it's even more difficult to be an initial-time parent. It's one life phase that each and every single one of us must go through regardless how daunting the trip might be. But looking at matters from optimistic side, it is a vital process that hones our protective instinct and it is part of the critical components that's needed for a powerful relationship between parents and their child. To have somebody to provide guidance and assistance can be of great help plus some mums have their grand-parents to help them handle the difficult job. Hiring a nanny is still another alternative but it's a choice that is fairly expensive for lots of mummies. But for the others, it can be extremely nerve-racking if they need to manage everything on their own. Baby monitor is one gadget that is particularly designed to the requirements of such parents. The best baby monitors focus on the demand of people who have to do all the home chores while also making sure they are able to always have a superb view of the baby. Let's take a look at some basic aspects which you need to look out for during your baby monitor assessment.
All baby monitors were created to operate wirelessly rather than through cable and that is according to the best of my understanding. In fact, parents are normally advised not to put any free things like cable, in the vicinity of the babies as it's deemed as highly dangerous risk. The operating frequency is one fundamental specification that you definitely desire to consider. Though it's becoming a rarity, some versions are nonetheless procedure out of 49MHz frequency but 1. 9GHz and 2. 4GHz are where some of today's best baby monitors function at. I'm not a wireless expert but the fact that Federal Communications Commission decided to take back the analog Television spectrum rather than digital TV spectrum says a lot about the limited access to the wireless spectrum. Both 1. 9GHz and 2. 4GHz are vulnerable to interference of their own. In the 1. 9GHz, even the best baby monitor that you've purchased may be put through the interference coming out from your DECT phone but the severity of such hindrance on the picture and audio quality frequently separates the best baby monitors from the average ones. In the 2. 4GHz, wi fi transmission might get in the way but if designed properly, it should trigger no significant performance problem.
The use of encryption is one characteristic that is generally found only among the Best Baby Monitor sets but maybe not the entry level versions. By utilizing encryption, it means that any conversation between the transmitter and receiver is nicely shielded and it can-not be eavesdropped by unintentional party. Your neighbour who might have bought exactly the same model, will not pick up your baby pictures and vice versa. You may be amazed but in a number of baby monitor evaluations, you are able to locate some parents share how they've been able to pick up somebody else's baby image with their receiver unit.
When performing your baby monitor discussion in search of the best baby monitors, trade name will be one vital aspect which you want to weigh in your purchase concern. Many people might be comfortable with particular baby product brands like Philips AVENT because it is one of the major brand making all sorts of baby items. But recognize it is not the typical baby merchandise that we're referring to here and while these manufacturers may be good at making milk bottle, it does not mean they're great at creating the best baby monitors. There are few brands that I consider as specialization brand but as these are non-mainstream names which are familiar to most folks, you have to do your research right to be able to find out about them. One good example is the enormously positive rating associated with Infant optics baby monitor assessments and several of these models have earned critical endorsements from parents.
This is one gadget that not every parent will discover that it's useful to have. But as top baby monitor reviews show, parents of newborn who do not have other people assisting them will discover it to be quite definitely needed and valued. Picking the best baby monitor is clearly a decision that affects thought in a number of variables. The best choice for those with tight budgetary issue will function as the straightforward audio monitor that allows you to monitor for any sound produced by your baby. Otherwise, it is possible to enjoy both sight and sound by choosing the best baby video monitor but it undoubtedly includes a cost tag.

The ring's price may mainly depend on the sort of gem and metal selected. As the prices of gold are always rising, you can look at the various other metal options for your own ring.
To have your own one in a lifetime ring look outstanding, choose a distinctive ring setting in addition to a ring gem that may interest you as a couple. Even though a diamond may be the more conventional way of expressing its meaning, you're really totally free to consider some other gems, if you believe it will make the ring much more unique. One of the top choices will be the receiver's birth stone or perhaps having the diamond framed together with them. The significance of selecting a unique gem for ring setting is it can make your ring look outstanding and special.
Settings usually accommodate diamonds made for round cut, princess cut, square or pear-shaped diamond engagement rings. This decision may not be easy, so you may wish to carefully observe your intended fiancée when she glances at rings or notice virtually any rings she already owns to see which shape she loves best.
Aside from having a completely new ring specialized, you are able to choose from a vintage style engagement rings to give your intended a unique ring from days gone by.

I recommend this story to people who like dogs and kids and their grandfathers. This is also a good book for people who like to read fiction stories.

Maria Burns Ortiz: Ozzie Guillen Leaves Marlins' Scratching Their Heads
Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillén was fired Tuesday after just one season with the club.
Chalk it up as another loss for Miami, which went 69-93 this season. The team will pay Guillén the remaining $8 million left on the four-year contract he signed with the Marlins last fall.
While the firing was far from unexpected – social media speculation had been growing for weeks – the move marked the official end of a relationship that had seemed so promising a year ago.
The Marlins were looking to redefine themselves: new name, new logo, new ballpark, new manager. The hope was that the outspoken and entertaining Guillén would inject some much-needed excitement into a team that had struggled to stand out, despite having won two relatively recent World Series titles.
However, Guillén's tenure in Miami looked doomed almost from the first pitch. Just days after the season opened, Guillén made comments about Cuba's Fidel Castro in Time magazine that caused an uproar. The manager issued a public apology and was suspended for five games. Reportedly, the team felt the fallout from those comments continue throughout the season.
The comments were certainly inadvisable, but Guillén creating controversy is nothing new. His ability to grab and generate headlines (for better or worse) has long been part of his persona. That's in part what made him so attractive to the Marlins.
Things didn't get much better from there.
Look yourself in the mirror and ask why so many [bleeping] managers come through here.
The team spent heavily last offseason, committing over $190 million on shortstop Jose Reyes, closer Health Bell and pitcher Mark Buehrle only to dwell in the NL East basement for much of 2012.
The Marlins, a team that has historically struggled with fan turnout, had great expectations after opening their new ballpark. And while attendance in 2012, jumped to 27,400 (18th in MLB) from 19,007 (28th) in 2011, the team fell short of its goals.
By mid-September, the split between Guillén and Miami became inevitable when the manager lashed out at the club's owner.
"If Jeffrey [Loria] doesn't think I'm doing the job I should do ... it's not the first time he has fired a manager,"Guillén said, addressing rumors of his impending dismissal. "Look yourself in the mirror and ask why so many [bleeping] managers come through here."
Managerial candidates might be asking the same thing as the Marlins are left to search for their fifth manager since 2010. Finding someone willing to fill that void could pose a challenge considering Loria's reputation. Since he took ownership of the Marlins in 2002, the team has had seven managers. The man who follows Guillén will be No. 8.
"There's not a manager dead or alive that Jeffrey thinks is good enough. Not [legendary Hall of Fame manager] Connie Mack, not anyone," former Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez told the Miami Herald in September of Loria's unrealistic standards.
That's not a resounding endorsement as Miami looks to woo a new manager to take the helm.
As for Guillén, he'll be fine. He took to Twitter to reassure his fans as much, saying that he's been through worse and is leaving the Marlins with his "head held up high."
These comments won't be the last we hear from Guillén. After all, he is still a World Series-winning manager, having led the White Sox to a title in 2005. He has a huge fan base for a manager and is closing in on 300,000 followers on Twitter. He also has experience as a TV analyst.
Guillén walks away from Miami richer and feeling secure about his future. The same can't be said about the Marlins.

There are five first-year head coaches in NIC-10 wrestling this year, and nine new faces have joined the ranks the past two seasons.
There could be a new champ this year as well.
"We sure don't feel like the clear favorites this year," said Ryan Spears, the new coach of three-time defending champion Harlem. "There are a bunch of new coaches out there these days, but for the most part, they all know what they're doing. Over at Hononegah, I know Jason (Glodowski), I know what he can do with a good group of kids, and I definitely don't expect any dropoff there."
Hononegah and Harlem have been the top two teams in the NIC-10 for a decade. Harlem went 19-4 last year, won the conference, regional and sectional team titles, and returns 10 starters. But, the Huskies lost state champ Jordan Northrup — now wrestling for NIU — and are young in the lower weight classes, according to Spears.
Spears, a former heavyweight state champ at Lutheran and a Hononegah assistant who coached under Cal Ferry at Harlem the past two seasons, now takes over a team that has three Hecoxes, including Sage Hecox, who placed fourth at state last year, and Kailor Hecox, who won 35 matches and qualified for state as a sophomore. Another state qualifier who is back is heavyweight Jared Carlton, while 152-pounder Tanner Anthony fell just short.
"Those guys over there are Harlem are good again — they're always good," said Glodowski, the former Beloit Memorial wrestling coach. "Here, I've got big shoes to fill, and I'm taking over a program that always has high expectations, and there's always pressure to win. I can already tell they like that around here."
While the Huskies were ranked 10th in the Illinois Matmen preseason poll, Hononegah rolled in at sixth. The Indians lost two state qualifiers, but return a deep lineup, packed with former conference and/or regional champs Tyler DeMoss (182), Zach Benkovich (170), Brady Powers (113), Keegan Powers (120) and Fernie Silva (145).
Other teams with new head coaches this year are: Belvidere North (Phil Baker), Guilford (Ryan Tomei) and Auburn (Jason Andrews).
"It's going to be a different look in the conference these days, but we all still expect to see a lot of good wrestling," said East head coach Gene Lee, the most-tenured coach in the league now with 10 straight years under his belt. "Those top two teams, Hononegah and Harlem, are definitely strong from top to bottom. And, there are some other teams that could end up strong by the end, too."
The E-Rabs are among those teams hoping to claw their way into the title picture down the stretch. East finished third behind Harlem and Hononegah at last season's NIC-10 meet, but the E-Rabs are also moving from Class 2A to 3A for the postseason this year, where they will meet stiffer competition at every stop.
Boylan, fourth in the NIC-10 with then-first-year head coach Zach Taylor calling the shots, expects to be strong once again this year. The Titans return state-placer Alex Butler (132) as well as state-qualifier Sean Barelli (126) and a pair of sectional qualifiers currently stuck at 138 pounds in Ryan Barelli and Joey Bertolino.
"We're definitely going to be even better than we were last year," Taylor said. "It'll be tough to catch Hononegah and Harlem, both deservedly in the top-10 in the state. But we're going to try."
Belvidere, looking to climb up from its seventh-place finish in the league last year, has state-qualifier Christian Arias (113) returning, while Belvidere North, which finished just ahead of the Bucs in the league, graduated a pair of state qualifiers, but still appears strong at the lower weights.
Freeport, in what head coach Anthony Dedmond called "a rebuilding phase," also graduated two state qualifiers.

The other day I was in my living room and the sun, streaming through the window, was shining on this brass mortar and pestle. SHINY, I said to myself. They came to me from a dear friend, a professor of pharmacy, who died of a brain tumour 21 years ago. She was the first person I met when I came to Canada forty six years ago and we remained friends until she died. It's a replica of an antique mortar and pestle and the Latin inscription around the rim says:
which means Heinrich Ter Herster made me in 1607

Judge Steven McCullough, Chair
Justice Carol Ronning Kapsner
Justice Dale Sandstrom
Judge Bruce Romanick
Sally Holewa
Lee Ann Barnhardt
The Executive Committee of the Judicial Conference met on September 27, 2013. Chair McCullough called the meeting to order at 8:15 a.m.
Chair McCullough opened the meeting with a request that the agenda be amended to include discussion on nominations to the Judicial Education Commission.
Judge Romanick moved that the agenda be amended to add discussion of nominations for the Judicial Education Commission. Seconded by Justice Kapsner. The motion carried and the agenda was amended.
Justice Kapsner moved that the minutes of the May 16, 2013 meeting be approved. Seconded by Justice Sandstrom. Motion carried.
Judge Romanick moved that the proposed date, location and agenda for the Judicial Conference be approved. Seconded by Justice Kapsner. The motion carried and the Judicial Conference was set for November 25-26, 2013, at the Radisson Hotel, in Bismarck, North Dakota, with no changes to the proposed agenda.
Justice Sandstrom moved that the proposed date, location and agenda for the business meeting of the Judicial Conference be approved. Seconded by Judge Romanick. Motion carried. It was decided that an email will be sent to all members of the Judicial Conference a week before the conference soliciting suggestions for discussion on any current statutes and any proposed legislative changes that the Conference should consider at the business meeting.
Lee Ann Barnhardt, Director of Education and Communication, who serves as staff to the Judicial Education Commission, informed the Committee that there will be three vacancies on the Education Commission in December. Justice Maring and Judge Sonna Anderson will have reached their term limits and will not be eligible for re-appointment. The term of Kathryn Rand, Dean of the North Dakota School of Law, will also expire in December, and she is eligible for re-appointment. Justice Kapsner suggested we ask the current chair of the Education Commission for recommendations. Justice Sandstrom suggested that an email be sent to all judges soliciting interest because the Chair may not be aware of everyone who may be interested in serving on the Commission. Chair McCullough said he would like to fill one of the vacancies with a justice. There was general agreement by the Committee that Dean Rand should be reappointed if she is willing to continue serving. The Executive Committee agreed to meet during the Judicial Conference in November to review the nominations and make appointments to the Education Commission.
The Executive Committee discussed honoring newly retired Judge Joel Medd and retiring member Justice Mary Muehlen Maring during the luncheon on November 25, 2013. It was decided that the honorees would be given the option of choosing the recognition gift they would like to receive.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the chair adjourned the meeting at 8:31a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Sally Holewa
Executive Secretary to the Judicial Conference

Does your little brother really stress you out? Even into adulthood, does he just make your blood boil?
Well, you're not alone. A new study of Bolivian adults has shown that having a younger sibling isn't just a pain when you're a kid, it may also raise your blood pressure into adulthood.
Researchers do not have enough data to conclude that higher blood pressure is directly caused by having a younger sibling; they can only show that there is a correlation between the two. However, they do proffer a possible reason as to why: younger siblings — especially little brothers — take parental attention from older children while burdening the older kids with extra responsibility.
The findings, detailed this month in the journal Economics and Human Biology, do suggest that younger brothers seemed to bring the bigger health risk: Adults with younger brothers had blood pressures up to 6 percent higher than others in the study. Younger sisters were also a problem, but only for older girls, whose blood pressure increased by 3.8 percent for each younger sister.
Plus: Avoiding the Big Sib Blues
For the study, researchers measured the blood pressure of 374 adults living in 13 Bolivian villages in the Amazon, many from large families. The research team found that having younger kids in the family may have drained parental attention as their older siblings were forced to pick up some of the parenting workload. And looking out for the younger siblings requires a lot of work from elder children.
In wealthier, well-developed countries like America, the same effect may not play out, researchers said. Meaning you might have to blame your high blood pressure on someone else.
Do your siblings make you hot under the collar? Let us know in the comments.

i always wanted to make my own way; maybe you feel the same way. The freedom to be your own person, to seize personal opportunity, to explore what works for you—these are the things that appealed to me, so I was destined to make my own way. But today, the volatility of the banking system, the byzantine contradiction of government regulation, and the relentless reorganization of the economy from the top down have made the business terrain far more treacherous for the individual. In this economic climate, I have found that learning to be creative, challenging convention, and seizing unexpected opportunities not only are liberating but also can make all the difference in whether you are successful.
Over the past four decades, I have been a founding shareholder in six banks, produced movies and Broadway plays, managed the finances and investments of others, and served on the boards of several companies. I have developed residential, commercial, and office real estate in five states. I have co-owned a convenience store chain, a film distribution company, a vineyard, a restaurant, and a hotel or two. I have helped turn around numerous distressed businesses, notably Kleinfeld, the largest bridal retailer in the country. Somehow, I even ended up owning a minority interest in a Major League Baseball team. And, yes, I have also acted in numerous films, television shows and series, and stage plays.
This will surprise you, but the common thread to the various businesses in which I have been involved is that I had never previously been in them. Most people would think that the lack of previous experience in a particular business would be a sure formula for failure. For example, would you hire a salesman who had never sold anything before, or, for that matter, would you retain a teacher for your school who had never before taught school? Previous experience can be valuable to someone who has chosen a career on the basis of his or her education and desire to work in a particular field. Because I didn't have a specific educational background—for example, a degree in medicine or law—I was not predisposed to make choices based on that criterion. In fact, it was an advantage in that I had no rules to follow, no premade decisions, no "books" to tell me how to find success. This allowed me to take a creative approach rather than an administrative one.
I have also tried to avoid being part of the system, which is not the same thing as trying to change it. You don't have to be "against the system" to succeed; you just don't want the system to systematize you, as it were. You don't always have to be a rebel, but, at the same time, you don't want the system to turn you into an automaton. The goal is to maintain your individuality while functioning within the system.
When I went to Hollywood, one of my first jobs as an actor was in a Western where I was playing the part of a deputy sheriff. I had an immediate disagreement with the director. As the character, I had chosen to wear a round derby hat. I had invented a little story about the hat and how my father had given it to me. The director told me to get rid of the hat because I didn't look like a sheriff. I asked him what he thought a sheriff looked like. To which he replied, "A ten-gallon hat, a vest, and spurs."
"I see," I said, "but excuse me, you don't look like a director."
"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
"You don't have on a safari jacket, riding boots, and dark glasses. And you're not carrying a bullhorn," I said, conjuring up the clichéd image of John Huston.
He just stared at me, and, before he could say anything, the cameraman led me away. This cameraman was an old-timer who had been a bi-plane wing walker in his youth, and he was about to retire from movie making.
"Wayne, let me explain something to you," the cameraman said calmly, putting his arm around my shoulder. "Hollywood has been here a long time. It will be here a long time after you and I are gone. Don't try to change it."
"I don't want to change it," I said. "I just don't want it to change me."
Beneath this story is something fundamental to the way I think. What starts in a writer's mind as a blank piece of paper ultimately becomes a script. I was given the script, mostly dialogue and a brief description of the part I was to play: "Jack Slade, early 30s, Deputy Sheriff." That was it. Taking this from the two-dimensional word and making this person into a living character is what actors are supposed to do. So, I invented the story about the hat, how my father loved the hat, what it meant to him and, therefore, to me. This became something that personalized the character I was playing and gave me an attitude symbolized by the hat. It's the process of taking a one-line description of a character and turning dialogue into behavior and making subtext out of text.
This may seem trite, making up some seemingly elaborate story out of a simple object, but it all had a purpose, and it is surprising how the subconscious can take a thought and make that thought a complicated, rewarding solution to a problem. For an actor, this is the creative process. This is how one changes the written word into a living, breathing human being. And that process is the one that sets my story apart from most business stories. It is my belief that the best results in business come from a creative process, from the ability to see things differently from everyone else, and from finding answers to problems that are not bound by the phrase "we have always done it this way."
At the risk of sounding pretentious, I'd like to add another fundamental principle to this—individual freedom—and a concomitant dictum—control your own destiny. We all wish to have the freedom to do what we want, to fulfill our lives by making our own choices and not having to do things by force of circumstances beyond our control. In a free society, that translates into economic freedom. We work hard to support our families and ourselves. We try to save money so that we can become independent and retire. But independent of what? Retire to do what? These questions are derived from the fundamental one, the desire for individual freedom.
The good news is that the theory behind economic freedom is rooted in history. It was good 100 years ago; it will be good 100 years from now. Civilization requires the exchange of goods and services in a free market, which provides an opportunity to behave morally in the sense that you must think about and deliver what the other person needs if you are to get what you need. So free market exchange depends on moral values, such as honesty, cooperation, trustworthiness, and fairness. These are the guidelines when you're making your own rules. I have always tried to apply these values in my business dealings as the basis for building financial independence.
I sought financial freedom from the beginning of my career. I was a young actor in New York City, and I was living with three other guys, one of whom was Peter Falk, in a $100-a-month walk-up at Third Avenue and 14th Street. It was summer, and there was no work in the theater. My agent, Jim Merrick, told me to take a summer vacation. "Jimmy," I said, "I'm broke, and I'm not working. What am I going to vacation from?"
I had a cousin in Los Angeles who said he would put me up, so I headed west. I was introduced to a legendary agent named Stan Kamen in the William Morris office. Stan took a liking to me and sent me around for meetings with TV producers. I landed a role in a pilot for a one-hour series and shot the pilot. After seeing the result, I caught the next plane back to New York. There was no way it was going to be picked up for a series.
That February, I received a called from Abe Lastfogel, who was the head of the Morris office. Abe treated the agents and clients like family in those days. Once you were with the Morris office, you were part of the family. They looked after you. They made it personal. Abe was calling to tell me that the pilot had been picked up for thirty-nine episodes. In the movie business, it's not about quality. It's about luck, timing, who knows whom, and a whole lot of other intangibles that are too convoluted to divine.
In those days, TV series shot thirty-nine shows with thirteen reruns, as opposed to today's twenty-six originals and twenty-six reruns. I had never seen so much money in my life. The fear of most actors is that their last job will literally be their "last job." While I didn't think that way, when so many in your profession are not working, it puts a little anxiety in your gut. Because there's a large number of people—some qualified, some not—all trying to break into a business that can accommodate very few, the odds of success are so stacked against you that you either have to be crazy or very young and naïve to continue. At that time, I was still young enough to take discouragement as a challenge but old enough to know that I had to save my money. Acting is an up-and-down career, so I knew I had to get used to long periods of unemployment. Using my earnings from the series, I began making investments.
I also knew that several actors, including John Wayne, no less, had lost their money by trusting the wrong people as business managers to invest for them. In fact, I ended up starting a business—an incarnation of which I run to this day—to help artists with their investments and money management. Today, there are many more CPAs who act as legitimate management firms, so there are fewer stories of actors being defrauded. In any case, if I failed, I didn't want it to be because some other guy took my money. If I was going to lose it, I decided I would be the author of my own demise.
I have never read a business book; therefore, this will not be a conventional business book. I often see "how-to" manuals for every type of business and books on how to "win" in business. I have no interest in telling you what you should or should not do or in giving you lessons about how to get involved in a business, start a business, or run a business. I have no step-by-step plan for success or surefire tips to becoming a millionaire.
Instead, I will tell you what has worked for me in business over the past four decades, what has not worked, and why. I hope that from some parts of the book you will learn something that is useful to your business, that contributes to your broad-based knowledge, or that simply makes for good cocktail party conversation. In other places, perhaps you will discover situations that are analogous to those in your own life and work. But, in all cases, what I write about is what has worked for me. It might work for you; it might not. So take from it what you will.
The subtext of much of these experiences is my interest in ideas and the exploration of those ideas, how they affect the small businessman, the free market, and society as a whole. Today most of our leaders—indeed most people—do not study history, having been persuaded that homage to past experience should be overcome by bowing to academic concepts born of the desire to do something "different," "forward looking," and "modern." This antipathy for looking back is best characterized by the esteemed Spanish philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
When you bought this book, you took a financial risk, albeit a small one. It may provoke you, positively I hope. If you read the book and find nothing at all of interest in its pages, then you can give it to somebody you think might enjoy it—or perhaps resell it online. If you thought about that risk, then you think somewhat differently than I do because I am interested in ideas and the exploration of those ideas. Perhaps reading ideas contrary to your own will prove valuable. If not, there is always the trash can.

text: Classify Farm Workers Properly to Avoid Penalties March 26, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Increased federal scrutiny of worker classification on agricultural operations should motivate farmers to carefully document labor on their farm, experts say. While labor is an issue year-round, the U.S. Department of Labor has been hiring additional investigators for the last two to three years to review suspected misclassification, says Joyce Grenis, senior vice president of human resource advisory services at Sikich LLP in Naperville, Ill. "What we are also seeing is a greater focus from the Department of Labor on the issue of independent contractor classifications," Grenis says. At issue is whether farm workers are classified as independent contractors or employees. Information reported by the Labor Department estimates that up to 30% of employers misclassify their employees. That results in a significant decline in tax revenues coming back to the federal government, which has prompted the increase in investigative efforts, Grenis says. If the Labor Department investigates and determines a person is an employee rather than a contractor, the employer must pay back taxes that weren't withheld and additional penalties, which can be costly. Employers who mistakenly classify hourly workers as salaried would be responsible for paying them time and a half or more per hour for any overtime, starting from the date of hire, says Tom Bayer, CPA and partner at Sikich. Employers who mistakenly classify employees as contractors would have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes at a rate of 15.3% on all contractual payments, plus interest and penalties. While a farmer might be tempted to hire someone as a seasonal, independent contractor to avoid the time and cost required to add an employee to the payroll, several factors should be evaluated first. According to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, an employer must determine the degree to which a worker exercises control over their activities. In general, farm workers have scheduled hours of operation, are given the tools required for the job and generally aren't paid using invoices, Grenis says. That means more often than not, a farm worker will be considered an employee, not a contractor. Human-resource professionals such as Grenis work with farm employers and others to ensure they are reviewing worker classifications, examine job descriptions to determine proper classifications and aid farm employers in maintaining compliance. The challenge for employers is staying up to date on federal law. There are 40,000 pages of employment law in existence, Grenis says, and a farmer reading for eight hours a day over the course of a year still wouldn't get through all of the material. Employment law is constantly changing, which places a greater burden on employers. "If the people that they are employing do not meet some of the independence issues … it's going to be very difficult for them to classify those particular individuals (as contractors) as opposed to employees even if they may be seasonal," Grenis says. There can also be legal ramifications for failing to classify workers properly, Bayer says. "It can really hurt a company and create a huge liability for them," Bayer says. A review of standard industry practices can help a farm operation evaluate classification decisions. Doing so can protect a business against employees who are terminated and later try to draw unemployment claiming they were misclassified as a contractor. Another reason it makes sense to review classification now is the ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Bayer says. Many businesses, including farm operations, are close to the threshold of 50 full-time or full-time-equivalent employees, at which they would be required to provide health insurance to all workers or pay penalties. In some cases, employers might be tempted to keep some workers classified as independent contractors to avoid triggering the insurance requirement. Several steps can help farmers and farm workers avoid taxes, penalties and legal concerns, Bayer says: Consult an adviser who is familiar with the rules and laws surrounding employment and health care to get their recommendations for classifying workers. If it makes sense to hire someone as an independent contractor, work with an attorney to develop a written agreement documenting the contractual relationship. Verify independent contractors are carrying insurance on themselves and that they are providing proof of insurance to you as the employer. Additionally, ensure that contractors name their employer as a secondary insured to protect you as the employer from liability in the event that they are injured on your property. Know who you are doing business with, and avoid employers who you suspect aren't paying the appropriate taxes or might be skirting the rules in other ways. The issue of classification will only grow in importance, particularly if immigration reforms in the future enable more undocumented workers to remain in the U.S., Bayer says. Back to news
