Complimentary Webinar: "Six Ways Your Managers are Causing FMLA & ADA Lawsuits, and How to Train Them to Stop"December 12, 2018
Over the past year alone, employers have been forced to defend FMLA and ADA lawsuits due simply to an inappropriate comment from a manager after an employee requests time off or an accommodation in the workplace. A snide comment about an employee in an email . . . discussing an employee's medical condition with others in a meeting . . . telling an employee that the Company "can't afford" for him to take time off. Despite an employer's best policies (and intentions), all it takes is a new or untrained manager to cause an FMLA or ADA-related lawsuit.
Webinar: Complying with the FMLA and ADA When Your Employee is Dealing with a Mental Health ConditionDecember 13, 2017
Employers are increasingly managing employees who suffer from mental health conditions such as depression, stress, and panic attacks. Studies show that mental health conditions are leading to increased use of FMLA leave. Administering FMLA leave and ADA accommodations in these situations can be particularly frustrating. Unlike an easy-to-notice need for maternity leave or even a knee replacement, mental health conditions often are silent and manifest themselves on a moment's notice. As a result, these situations lend themselves to FMLA abuse and increase the risk of FMLA and ADA violations if they are not handled properly.
Webinar: FMLA Abuse Got You Down? Best Practices for Using FMLA Medical Certification as a Tool to Deter FMLA MisuseNovember 15, 2016
FMLA Medical certification can be the most effective tool to help employers confirm an employee's medical condition and their need for time off from work. So, why does such a critical tool tend to create angst, confusion and frustration for employers when administering FMLA leave?

19 September 2016 | New York — The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), an initiative of the UN Global Compact, has announced the development of a new digital platform to engage business students to support the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The announcement was made during the annual United Nations Private Sector Forum, a high-level event of top business executives, world leaders, and public figures coming together to jump-start progress on the SDGs, and exploring ways to advancing sustainable development to prevent global instability.
As part of their course work, business students from Advanced PRME signatory schools will be tasked with extracting and analysing data, statistics, and innovative business solutions from UN Global Compact participants through resources such as the public database of Communication of Progress (COP) reports — the visual expression of a company's commitment provided to the UN Global Compact every year.
This platform consists of two parallel projects, which are managed in partnership with WikiRate and with AIM2Flourish. The WikiRate project will facilitate the analysis of information provided in COP reports and present data that, among other things, will showcase where company and sector improvements can be made. The AIM2Flourish project will categorise activities and data according to each relevant SDG determined through research on innovative business practices that do good and do well.
Both projects offer students the opportunity to analyse and evaluate the quality of company activities as they relate to responsible and sustainable business operations, and highlighting the most notable achievements of companies in each major industry. This effort will support the UN Global Compact and PRME as they assess outcomes and progress on achieving the SDGs. Information from the platform will then be presented to member states during the UN's High-Level Political Forums to demonstrate commitment from companies to achieving the Goals.
Noting the pivotal role that students and youth will play in advancing the SDGs, Jonas Haertle, the Head of PRME, described this new platform as a unique way to engage business students and allow them to utilise their academic talents towards supporting the SDGs by highlighting the most innovative and sustainable business practices.
"Today's business and management students are keenly aware of the importance of sustainable and responsible companies, and have higher expectations for companies they wish to work for," Haertle said. "Students and youth are eager to see systemic change in the way that business plans are managed so that values like sustainability take higher priority."
"This platform will offer business students a chance to support the SDGs by evaluating existing business solutions and highlighting the most successful practices in each industry for other companies to follow," he added.
The student engagement platform is organised with the support of the UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Alhendawi. He noted that students and youth will be crucial to advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
"Today's youth play a pivotal role in tackling the development challenges of the 21st century," Alhendawi said, adding that "business students in particular will be key to addressing these challenges through their future involvement in the private sector."
PRME is the first organised relationship between the United Nations and business schools. Its mission is to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally by engaging business and management schools to ensure they provide future business leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals, while drawing attention to the SDGs and aligning academic institutions with the work of the UN Global Compact.
For additional information, please contact:
Sigrun Skudem, Manager, PRME Secretariat
The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative is the first organised relationship between the United Nations and business schools, with the PRME Secretariat housed in the UN Global Compact Office. The mission of PRME is to transform management education, research and thought leadership globally by providing the Principles for Responsible Management Education framework, developing learning communities and promoting awareness about the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
AIM2Flourish is the world's first student-led global learning platform, showcasing business innovations that solve humanity's greatest challenges. Business students in more than 30 countries are using Appreciative Inquiry (strength-based interviews) and the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development to search out and report on world-changing innovations.
WikiRate's mission is to spur corporations to be transparent and responsive by making data about their social and environmental impacts useful and available to all. The free and open website at http://WikiRate.org enables NGOs and Academics to define and select important metrics for research and analysis of companies' performance on environmental and social issues. Through these metrics, NGOs and Academics can engage volunteers and students with their advocacy and research interests.

May 7th 2011 Receiving Leading Women Building Communities Award
On May 7th 2011, I had a lot going on. At 1pm I had to be at the Old Ottawa South Fire Hall on 260 Sunnyside, in order to receive the Leading Women Building Communities Award from Yasir Naqvi, MPP, on behalf of the Government of Ontario. I was nominated by Albanian Canadian Shano Bejkosalaj and Palvashah Durrani. According to the later I received informing me of my award: "The Award was designed of honour women and girls who have made a real difference in their communities-females who have gone above and beyond to make the world a better place for everyone."
The Award was originally launched on International Women's Day on March 8th, 2006 by Sandra Pupatello, Provincial Minister Responsible for Women's Issues.
Moji and Shola Agoro, daughters of Abiola Agoro who helped me find my father were also honoured with this award earlier this year.
I was able to take two youth who I've been mentoring to the award reception.
I didn't really know what to wear. I never have any fancy clothes. I borrowed a traditional Sudanese form of attire for women, called a thobe. It is similar to a sari in that it is a large piece of cloth wrapped around the body. I don't think I wore it well.I was one of about 20 recipients. Other women who received the award along with me included: Manjit Basi, Dr. Alia Dakroury, Faye Brunning, Marlene Floyd, Josephine Palumbo, and Jo-Ann Poirier

Weddings are all about proper etiquette. I mean, you'd hate to insult your Great Aunt Gertrude on your father's side by seating her at the wrong table, what a nightmare. But for some people, first impressions really are everything, and your wedding invitation is the first notice most people will receive of your upcoming event. So, if you don't want all the old women at church talking about your manners, it's best to follow a few simple rules of proper etiquette in order to make this impression a good one.
When it comes to wording your wedding invitations, it seems there are a different set of rules for every imaginable set of circumstances. It really depends on who is hosting the event and their marital status, which I didn't know when I created my invitations. Below are some examples for each scenario:
If hosted by bride and groom
Laynee Jo Johnson
and Jack Lucas Warren
request the honor of your presence
If hosted by bride's family
Mr. and Mrs. Hagen Johnson
request the honor of your presence
as their daughter, Laynee Jo
is united in marriage to
Jack Lucas Warren
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Warren
If hosted by bride, groom, and both families
Laynee Jo Johnson
and Jack Lucas Warren
together with their parents
request the honor of your presence
If hosted by groom's family
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Warren
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of
Laynee Jo Johnson
to their son, Jack Lucas Warren
If hosted by divorced parents:
Mrs. Martha Lovely
And Mr. Hagen Johnson
request the honour of your presence
as their daughter, Laynee Jo
is united in marriage to
Mr. Jack Lucas Warren
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Warren
When one parent is deceased
Laynee Jo
Daughter of Martha Johnson and the late Hagen Johnson
and Jack Lucas Warren
request the honour of your presence
Whew, I bet you didn't think there were so many ways to write your wedding invitations huh? There's a few more general rules that apply to any situation, including:
- For ceremonies being held in a place of worship, it's proper to use the phrase "request the honor of your presence". For ceremonies held anywhere else, you should use "request the pleasure of your company."
- Always spell out all words. Including the hour, date, year, and all the words in the address.
- The British spelling of the words "honour" and "favour" may be used to inspire a feeling of elegance.
- Use Roman numerals in names, such as Jack Lucas Warren the third (Jack Lucas Warren III)
- Always use full names. It is better to leave out a middle name than to put it as an initial.
Remember that the less formal your event is, the more flexible these rules become. In reality, you can write your invitations any way you like, but if your goal is to set a stage of elegance, class and sophistication, these rules should be followed. And if all else fails, you can always hit the drive-thru in Vegas!

KCRW tried another conservative on today's Left, Right & Center: Michael Murphy, Republican media consultant for John McCain and others and adviser to Gov. Schwarzenegger. His agency for speaking engagements calls Murphy "one of the funniest and most entertaining figures in politics today...[the] GOP spin doctor with a sense of humor." Apparently they even like him at the hard-to-please "LR&C" and want him back next week. I didn't hear the show, but it airs again (and streams on the Internet) tonight at 7 p.m. and is archived here.

Now, you're probably busy reading lots of blogger wishlists at this time of year - the sex bloggers asking for the kinds of toys only elves over 18 can make, the mummy bloggers asking for a good night's sleep, the political bloggers asking for change, the cookery bloggers asking for the kind of gadgets the sex bloggers wouldn't mind a go on and so forth. Still, I hope you can find time to read through a satirical anti-sex-blogger's list of festive desires and consider emptying your bulging sacks into my stocking come Christmas Eve.
This year, for Christmas, I would like:
- A pair of hold up stockings that actually hold up and don't roll down my pillowy thighs at inconvenient moments or, failing that:
- A pair of tights that fit the tall, full figured woman so that the crotch does not sit at knee level, leading to amusing yet undignified hobbling, and the waist band does not come up to one's armpits. (Who are these garments designed for - is it you, Santa?)
- A drum kit.
- Big, comfortable pants that are also alluring.
- Pubic hair to come back into fashion.
- Stroppy, fat, older women to come back into fashion.
- A Scalextric.
- An Indian Head Massage or a Nit Nurse of my very own.
- The salt, sugar and fat content to be reinstated to my favourite convenience foods. Bloody food police. My roast beef flavoured Monster Munch were crap without all the salt and E numbers. Ditto my Cup-a-Soup. I buy these things for a reason. If I wanted the healthy option I'd have bought an orange. Thank fuck for booze.
- Wine, and lots of it.
If you could see your way to granting me even just one or two of these requests I would be immensely grateful and won't drink your sherry and abuse the carrots for the reindeer before you get here this year.
Yours in anticipation,

Polyurethane breast implants
Breast implants are made by a number of manufacturers and are available in a variety of designs with different shapes, sizes and surfaces. An increasingly popular choice is the polyurethane-coated silicone implant. At
Breast Care Leicester
, we use polyurethane-coated implants from
, manufactured in Germany. The polyurethane coating has a spongy appearance, and helps to reduce capsular contracture rates. They also remain in position better than conventional silicone-surfaced implants and are less likely to rotate or become displaced. Polyurethane-coated implants often feel firmer than other implants in the first few months until the surface is incorporated by the breast tissue. Implants
with two different gel consistencies (
from Polytech) are available with a polyurethane coated shell.
In the early 1990s, there were concerns that one of the breakdown products of polyurethane, 2,4-TDA, could potentially cause cancer in humans. This followed a study in which rodents of strains bred to develop cancers of various sorts including breast cancer were fed high doses of 2,4-TDA to eat and subsequently developed even higher levels of liver and breast cancer. Subsequent human studies showed that in some women with polyurethane breast implants, 2,4-TDA can be detected in their urine but at very low levels. 2,4-TDA has not been shown to be carcinogenic in humans but using the level of carcinogenicity demonstrated in the rodents, a risk assessment was carried out which estimated a theoretical lifetime risk of developing breast cancer of approximately one in one million. If this level of risk is a concern for a woman considering breast augmentation, then silicone implants without polyurethane coating would be a suitable alternative.

The peninsula is not very wide, perhaps a quarter mile wide at the widest point just North of Seine Bight. The vegetation varies from Coastal plants : Coconuts, Sea Grape, Coco Plum, Cashew and Mango trees along the beach to the Red Mangrove along the Lagoon's edge. In between there is coastal scrub forest with small Oak trees and other deciduous trees, and in the wetter areas are Palmetto stands.
There are many animals on the peninsula from birds to small mammals. The mammals range from The Gray Fox and Raccoon to the small Yucatan Squirrel and Opossum. There have been over 85 species of birds observed on the Peninsula. Watch in the trees for Iguanas, False Iguanas, and the curious Basilisk lizards. Near many of the houses are small Gecko lizards and Tree frogs.
The history of humans living on the peninsula ranges back to at least 500 AD. when the Maya used the sheltered water of the Lagoon for coastal shipping and to produce salt for trade. This was followed by a colony of Puritan Protestants. The fishing village of Point Placencia and Seine Bight, as we now know them, were settled in the early to mid 19th century.
The name Rum Point appears on early charts of Belize. It is believed that the name arose due to the desire of some of the early settlers of Point Placencia to escape the rigors of Puritan Protestantism. To this day small pieces of English clay pipes as well as rum and wine bottles from that era surface on the shallow sea bottom in front of Rum Point Inn, thus making it a historical site. Some of these artifacts are currently on display in the bar.

As human beings, our desire to help others often leads to wanting to learn more about other countries, their political and economical problems and how we can help them. And although sometimes we struggle to achieve this - as was discussed in the document, "What are we doing here?" about the struggles we've have had to lift Africa out of despair - there is still a desire we have, as a people, to understand international development issues and solve these problems. If you are somebody whose had a profound curiosity in political, social and economic issues, perusing a degree in international development studies or (IDS) is exciting. With an IDS degree, you will study key issues and ideas that can help solve development problems in countries around the world. These problems include adapting new technologies or ideas to a country to enhance or improve their way of life, improving their diplomatic relationships with other countries...

In the context of sustainable logistics, Wim Bosman aims to support customers in achieving their sustainability goals. This entails that we constantly work on the development of sustainable solutions. A new solution is the ECO-service for international groupage shipments.
The ECO-service distinguishes itself from regular solutions by the lower costs and the flexible transit time. In practice, this means a maximum of two days extra transit time at lower costs.
"The point is that the customer is able to choose", according to Paul Looman, Managing Director Wim Bosman Expeditie B.V. "The customer chooses a standard transit time at a standard rate or ECO-service with its accompanying advantages – optimum loading benefits the environment and the budget." Sustainability and competitive pricing go hand in hand.
"The realisation that the customer has a choice, is an innovation in relation to current thinking", explains Looman. "Currently, everything is about speed, but is this always necessary? Naturally, we always fulfil the customer's wishes, but the focus on speed sometimes means that the trucks can not always be optimally loaded. Not every shipment is 'urgent', and we want to draw particular attention to this with the ECOservice.
The flexible transit time offers the possibility to further optimise the load factor of trucks. Moreover, this gives us the opportunity to select the most suitable modality from rail, road, water or a combination of these modalities."
By choosing the ECO-service, a conscious choice is made for a sustainable solution, whereby the savings can soon amount to 10% in relation to a shipment with a standard transit time.

During its first quarter earnings call today, EA commented on its plans to support Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. According to EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, the publisher is interested in the console and has plans to make announcements in the future.
"We're keeping a very close eye on the platform," Moore said before acknowledging the "lackluster response" Nintendo received coming out of E3. He added that EA has learned to "never underestimate Nintendo, as proven by the last generation."
Moore noted that EA has "great franchises poised to be on that platform," but that no announcements are ready to be made at this time. "We'll probably announce more in the future," he said.
During E3, EA announced that Mass Effect 3 is headed to Wii U. Since then, BioWare confirmed that the Wii U version will integrate Mass Effect 3's extended cut endings.
The publisher is expected to make additional announcements leading up to Nintendo's launch of Wii U later this year.

A poem of mine is up on Autumn Sky Poetry, a site I always keep an eye on. Of all the daily poetry sites, I find this the most interesting.
Tag: Autumn Sky Poetry Daily
Oxford Poetry
As a sort of displacement activity instead of actually writing, I've been submitting a few poems. I was very pleased to have 'Earth-bound' up on Autumn Sky Poetry Daily, a site that delights me the more I read it. Recently it has included work by S Thomas Summers and R Nemo Hill, names I recognise from various internet workshops, and ones I'm delighted to rub shoulders with.
I am equally thrilled to have an acceptance from Oxford Poetry, a magazine that is 'over 100 years old. It is probably the oldest dedicated poetry magazine in the world today.' I think I might again be pleased when I see the company I'm in. Pass me that dreaming spire when you're done with it.
There are a number of poetry blogs that publish poems every day, or every few days, without fuss or bother. Just good poems, simply displayed. Poetry Daily picks poems from recently published books and magazines. Other sites ask for submissions (though sometimes intermittently): And Other Poems is one, and so is Autumn Sky Poetry, where I was delighted to have a poem on 21st January.

The Trouble with Weddings
By Lobokia the Humble
It was a lovely day in the East Woods, I wasn't in the mood for hunting just for talking to my friends. Krypton was her lively self, though again in love trouble. Sheesh that girl finds the most troublesome men to fall in love with, always finding what she believes is her true love, only for some cruel injustice to rip him from her.
I laugh to myself now about it but I thought that day was going to go so smoothly; oh I should not trust the gods so entirely. I was just talking to Krypton about the trouble in Temuir when a warrior, with the smell of sweat and bees wax still left on his armour came over to me.
"Can you spare a little time to help my friend out?" he said, a large smile played across his face. I didn't think anything about it at first, just thought maybe someone was in aid of my priestly skills. I am quite a good priest even if I say so myself. Spent a long time mastering the miracles that priests are expected to dispense to any Aislings in need.
"Sure, what's the matter?" It didn't really matter what he wanted, I was free for the rest of the day and didn't mind helping anybody out really. My parents always new I was going to be a priest, though I'm sure they thought I was to follow Gliorca instead of Gramail the God of law which I chose instead, or He chose its hard to know anything when it comes to the Gods.
Eagerness took him over, and more quickly he relayed that his best friend was getting married. It looked like he was in need of a priest to perform the ceremony. Ohh dear I thought, a wedding.
"To be honest my friend I haven't done a wedding yet, I don't know how good I'll be." The idea of hosting a service in front of so many people was a balking thought indeed. The warrior's smile didn't seem to change, if anything his voice took more of a cheery note. He shifted his stance so to appear friendlier and spoke in a voice that sounded genuine and kind, not one normally associated with the warriors of Temuir. Most seem and are a little belligerent, relying on their strength of arm instead of strength of character that would see them through most situations.
"Then it is good, for my friend has never been married before." He laughed out loud at the last remark obviously finding it a little funny. Though in my eyes there is nothing funny about marriage, a serious commitment indeed. To bond your body and soul to another is one of the most sacred gifts the Gods have given us, never to be taken lightly. I continued to try to put him off the idea of me doing the ceremony.
"Seriously I have no experience on conducting a marriage ceremony I would hate to make mistakes." I was becoming worried; this mighty warrior seemed not to know the meaning of my growing concern. He just remained there with a smile, maybe he thought I would just crack and do it without him saying another word. Under that friendly pose I was starting to feel a little guilty.
Go on, you can do it Krypton said to me through Temuirs' magical whisper.
No I cant never done it What do I say I replied again through whisper.
The warrior was still stood there, looking at me expectantly. I heard krypton again say Go on, I'll help you I was amazed to hear my own voice say to the warrior "Ya sure it will be my pleasure." It seemed to do the trick with him, if he was a happy chappy at first then ecstatic wasn't the word now.
"Thank you, I'll whisper him that you'll do it." He rushed on "Thank you, thank you my good priest." His face contorted slightly under the strain of what I assumed was a Temuir whisper, a power all the Aislings have though the less magical ones find it harder.
"Yes well, I would be." I replied. "But I don't know what I'm doing". I noticed the warrior was walking with us though a respectable distance away. His steps easily keeping up with mine. Every now and then his face concentrated for a brief time. Obviously talking to the groom.
"You'll be ok, ever been to a wedding?" I'm sure she knew I hadn't, just wanted to have a dig at me. Turn the stick of nastiness in the tub of Lobokia so to speak. Determined to get my own back some day my only response was Shut up in whisper. I wasn't really that upset with her, it was mainly directed at myself. Should I fail in this endeavour there would only be one person to blame, me.
I got to the church, and to be honest I started getting scared before I even entered the building. But there was the groom looking splendid in his wedding outfit, no sight of the bride. With a bit of luck she'd done a runner; No such luck I thought, not to me. Now I cant even remember his name, just that he was happy to see me. "Thank you for coming on such short notice." He said, I could tell he was nervous, ironically not as nervous as me though.
"Yes yes, no problem." I replied as we took the walk together down the aisle to the alter. The church was currently empty the people hadn't shown yet and a false confidence was filling me. This man seemed to be in a worst state than me. Little beads of sweet were on his forehead, his eyes dilated with a slightly vacant look as they darted about the church .
"This place needs tarting up a bit before she arrives." He said. Tarted up, I thought; this is a church, you don't TART it up, but even so I heard myself in horror say "Yes it does, hehe she isn't is she?" I rolled my eyes towards heaven. Good grief I thought, what the Gods was I thinking. The man turned to me and through slightly controlled lips he said "No she isn't."
"Yes, yes quite sorry." Was the only reply I could think of.
Another man I hadn't seen before called the groom outside. As he walked down the aisle I noticed he did so silently, no noise on the marble floor. It could only mean one thing, a rogue and by the absence of sound high in insight, I hoped I hadn't made an enemy so quickly with my stupid remark.
I was deep in thought for some time preparing the sermon before I realized Kypton was now standing beside me at the alter it was her smell that I noticed, slightly of roses. Probably a perfume made by the mundanes of Piet. Glancing up I noticed a startled transformation had happened to the church, flowers now seemed to adorn every pillar and post. Gold lay strewn around the floor in neat piles meant as a gift for the happy couple. It always helped them start their new lives with a few wedding gifts from people they knew. I saw the precious Sventi flower as well as some great works of sculpture from all over Temuir. Wow these must be well-loved people; and speaking of people I noticed the church was filled. Gramail help me now, I thought, as I noticed this for the first time. With a little hindsight I now know I should have just owned up there and then and said I couldn't do it, it would have saved a little embarrassment later on.
Krypton, what have you got me into I whispered to her
Isnt it lovely, all these people coming together to wish good will to the lucky couple
Help me For Gramails sake Help me I couldn't think of anything else to say. I had composed a nice little sermon a while back, now it was nowhere to be found inside my mind.
Damn it, she was enjoying it, or maybe not, it was quite possible she didn't fully understand how difficult I was finding this. I thought hard before a surprising whisper from the groom entered my mind.
Erm, hang on, im just thinking, erm just stay there That was it, my courage had failed me, it would seem Gramail had placed me firmly on a fast moving carriage to failure, probably having a good laugh. Who was it that said gods don't have humour. Right find another road then, I knew a fine priestess by the name of Aeda and didn't waste any time.
Aeda are you there Please in the name of Gramail tell me your there The whisper was hurried and a little frantic. It suited the pace of mind I was currently in.
Hello love Came the response, she always talked to me like that, don't know why. Evidently more emotional than me. Whatever's the problem, your whisper nearly blew my head off
Please I'm supposed to do a wedding, and I cant go through with it, I've bottled it Theres 50 people in here, please I know you can do it I knew she could do it, only a couple of hours ago she had made a masterful sermon whilst joining two lovers in the glade. Will you do it
Then I heard the groom whisper. Come on priest you ready yet Im ready my wife to be is ready why aint you ready
Lobokia what you playing at It was krypton. Come take a deep breath everybody is ready
Where are you Aeda My whisper was a strong one, and I felt a little sorry for her, it must have really hurt. But Aeda is a good woman and would understood my difficulty I was sure.
Thank Gramail, I was saved, what a woman Aeda is, what a woman.
COME ON PRIEST The whisper was loud, and the grooms.
Good news I replied Aedo's doing it, she knows what she's doing
WHAT what are you going on about I noticed confusion in the grooms whisper, to be honest I wasn't surprised. This poor man was going through enough trauma without the help of a courage less priest to hinder the case.
Nearly there love Aeda whispered.
A new whisper joined the throng it was the Brides Are you doing it or not It was a well founded question, I just hoped I wasn't. A horrible idea was forming in my mind, maybe Aeda wasn't coming at all and was all along having a good laugh whispering to Krypton somewhere in Abel or somewhere. Gramail please don't let this be, I thought.
With all that was going on the next was directed mistakenly to the bride Shut up woman it was meant for Krypton in a hope to quite her down.
Coming up to the church now, don't worry Aeda thank the Gods it's Aeda, or was it? No I couldn't think that way, must take her at face value and hope, yes hope.
WELL really, I have never whispered the Bride
I do despair I really do I wish Krypton would just keep quite.
Sorry, so sorry, I meant another I hurried a whisper to the bride in a hope to reduce the damage done, with my earlier mistaken whisper.
With that the doors where flung apart and the groom started to walk down the aisle, he looked a little angry. I also noticed that I could now hear his footsteps, loud, louder than the muttering of the crowd. They couldn't hear the whispers, but was coming to the conclusion that something was wrong.
I never noticed it before but the groom seemed to have a Sun dagger tucked inside his belt. "Well really!" I said. "You cant bring a weapon into a church it's……." I was cut off by the way the groom removed it, slowly and deliberately with full intent. "Killing a priest is a little out as well." I mumbled as I stepped back virtually onto the alter itself. Krypton was looking at me with a large O shaping her mouth. As the groom took another small step towards me I saw her regain her composure and start mumbling a miracle of IOC, that didn't look so good. It meant I might need it. I also thought IOC!, IOC? that's no good woman, look at him, look at the dagger, MOR IOC, MOR IOC!
He held the dagger low so most of the crowd couldn't see it, I could, and wished to Gramail I couldn't. The ones that could see craned their necks to get a better view; the wedding had improved by far. They probably wondered what was going on and why their friend was about to turn this priest into a mantis sheesh kebab. Dar was infamous for em, people thought he needed all those carrion items he bought for spells and research, but he had invited me round for dinner once, never again. The things that floated to the top of the first course still give me nightmares to this day.
"Welcome all, on this lovely day." The voice was melodious and carried over the crowd. Aeda thank Gramail. "Thank you Lobokia for arranging the seating order, I will carry on with the wedding ritual as soon as the good grooms found his position." His current position was one hand cupping my mantle and the other low, holding the dagger, any position would be better than that, any actually but one, the one that meant I could fill my belly without needing to trouble my mouth.
Later was the final whisper from the groom it sounded like he did in fact wish to see me again later, Gramail knows why, maybe for him to thank me for finding another priest on such short notice. He had turned from me and was currently looking at Aeda as she strode up the aisle towards us, for the entire world she looked like she owned the place. As soon as he let go of my mantle and stood up straight, attention was still on Aeda, I made good my escape ducking around the alter and through the shadows along one wall. I was near the front of the church as the bride started her march down the aisle towards the alter. I ducked out the main doors just as she reached them, my last memory of the retched place was the faint voice of Aeda saying "We are hear today to witness the holy matrimony………"
Maybe just maybe Dar would entertain me again this night, the second course didn't seem so bad all of a sudden, just keep of the soup was the last thought in my mind as I trudged along the streets of Mileth.

However, I think some people are expecting constant fun and excitement in marriage. These people are going to be disappointed. So I decided before any of you get married, you should take your significant other on a "boring date." It's sort of like a marriage test. You may or may not want to tell your significant other about this "boring date" or the reasons behind it.
I remember my first boring date with Scott. I was at his apartment and we'd made some average joe type dinner and we sat down to eat at the table. We just sat there, eating, not really talking, kind of staring into space. I realized that when we got married there would be many more of these moments. And I was totally OK with that. Successful boring date!
It's kind of like this bit of genius from Best in Show:
So don't be afraid of the boring date. Stay in. Sit together like old people. Clean the bathroom. Take an hour to discuss where you want to go for dinner only to end up staying at home. It'll be worth it when you're married and fully prepared for the boring times ahead.
Boring Date. Tell your friends.
Boring Date. Tell your friends.

The dLEAP project initiated by my schoolmates of MHS with XO laptops sponsorship are benefiting the Orang Asli (OA) children in the SEMOA farm at Tras, Bentong. This impromptu short-interview of the warden at SEMOA describe the changes she noticed over the months. Personally, I have seen OA children use the XO laptop with high exploratory behaviors which surpass those of urban Hong Kong children that I am more familiar!
To enable more voluntarism and use of XO laptops for different communities the mOLC (mobile Open Learning Chest) have been field tested. Some interesting observations are reported in this KopiTiam video made over breakfast while I was back in Malacca recently. Ms Tay who coordinates this is a passionate teacher in Termerloh.
What is next?
For this year, Basecamp2014Trek will kickoff at the Penang International Science Fair on Nov 15-16,2014 with workshops and a exhibition. Sponsorship from dLEAP fundraiser YS Chua will enable three OA children to visit Penang and learn from the fair. This will be an eye-opening experience for them on the world of science and technology.
On Nov 21 UNICEF will be holding a public forum to launch the State of the World's Children report in Malaysia. Its theme "Innovation for Children" is very relevant to what we are doing and we hope to attend. It will also be an an excellent networking opportunities to meet people with similar passions.
After 21st we hope to visit more old and new sites for possible deployments. Personally when the signs are positive that Malaysian children will benefit greatly from what we do, it is time to look into how to kickstart a social-enterprise project. Our efforts need a more sustainable future in Malaysia.

Being married to a Tamilian, I learned long ago to love Tamilian food. It was not a hard thing to do, by any means: Tamil Nadu cuisine is chock-full of such palate-pleasing delights as sambars, rasams, dosas and idlis. This South Indian state even gave the world the popular Mulligatawny Soup (milagu tanneer, or "pepper water" in Tamil).Desi, my hubby, has a particular love for the food of his native land. While he enjoys anything I put before him, his eyes do light up just a little bit brighter when the food happens to be something he remembers his mom cooked for him when he was a little boy growing up in Chennai.
I feel a little guilty then that in all these years, I've very rarely tried making dosas, something most of us have enjoyed at one time or another at least at an Indian restaurant. Crispy and delicious, they are usually served up with a small bowl of steaming, spicy sambar and another bowl of green chutney.
But making dosas can be intimidating even to an otherwise experienced cook. While making the batter is quite easy–you do have to pay attention to the consistency–it is spreading the dosa into that perfectly thin round on a hot griddle that is the most daunting part. In fact, each of the handful of times I've tried in the past, I've messed it up.
This week I finally decided I had to take up the challenge of making a dosa at least as close to, if not as good as, the one Desi remembered from his childhood. To my own surprise, all it took was for me to shed my incredible fear of making mistakes while spreading the batter on the hot griddle. Once I did, I found that it was not that difficult, after all, and even some small mistakes in my novice technique did not ruin the end result. The dosas came out crisp and very delicious, and Desi was impressed!
To dunk the dosas, I made a mixed-vegetable sambar and green coconut-cilantro chutney. It was a perfect meal.
Delicious Crispy Dosa!
1 cup rice (I used a regular long-grain rice but you can even try this with parboiled rice, which is the traditional choice, or brown rice).
1/3 cup udad dal (black gram)
2 tbsp chana dal (bengal gram)
1 tbsp fenugreek (methi) seeds
Mix all ingredients and cover with water. Let it soak at least six hours or overnight.
Drain and then grind to a smooth paste in a blender, adding some water if necessary. The batter should be thin enough to spread, but thick enough to coat the back of a ladle. (You can let the batter stand for several hours, if desired, to allow it to ferment slightly, the way it would be done in a regular Tamilian kitchen. I skipped this step because Desi doesn't like the taste of fermented batter.)
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron griddle. Test to see if it is hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water on the griddle. The water should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
Spread a thin film of oil on the griddle.
In a round ladle, take about 1/2 cup of the dosa batter. Pour the batter into the center of the griddle. Then, quickly, use the back of the ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion, moving rapidly outward. The dosa has to be very thin in order to be crisp. If you'd like a softer texture, you can make the dosa thicker.
Pour a few drops of oil around the dosa and on top of it. Spread the oil with a spatula.
When the underside turns golden-brown, flip and cook for a few more seconds.
Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
Mixed-Veggie Sambar
2-3 cups of vegetables, chopped into a 1/2-inch dice and cooked in a microwave oven until tender(I used daikon radish, white pumpkin and carrots. Potatoes, eggplant, or any other pumpkin squash would also be delicious in this).
1 cup tuvar dal, cooked until tender.
1 lime-size ball of tamarind, soaked in 1/2 cup of water, or 1 tbsp tamarind extract mixed with 1/2 cup water. If using regular tamarind, once the tamarind has softened, crush with fingers to extract all the juice, then discard the solids.
1 tbsp sambar powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
Fry lightly in 1/2 tsp of oil and grind together:
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek (methi) seeds
2 red chillies
1 pinch asafetida or hing
1 tbsp chana dal
For tempering:
1 tsp canola or other vegetable oil
2 sprigs of curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
In a large saucepan, boil the tamarind water and the ground spices along with the sambar powder and turmeric for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vegetables and dal and salt to taste.
Let the sambar cook on medium-low heat about 10-15 minutes until the flavors merge together.
Heat the oil for tempering in a small saucepan. Add the mustard and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds sputter, add them to the sambar. You can add about 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes to the oil after the mustard seeds sputter, and cook until they start to break down, before adding it to the sambar.
Coconut-Cilantro Chutney:
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1 green pepper, such as jalapeno, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
5-6 curry leaves, cut into thin strips.
Put the coconut milk in a blender along with the green pepper, cilantro and lemon juice and salt to taste.
Process until smooth.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the mustard and curry leaves.
When the mustard seeds sputter, add to the chutney.

Western Price Survey
Week's End Edition
August opened with weak electricity prices throughout the Western United States. Trades for both daytime and off-peak power lost value throughout the week. Peak prices in particular fell sharply Friday.
From the Friday-to-Friday period spanning July 30 to Aug. 6, average daytime prices for all hubs lost between about $5.50 and nearly $9.50/MWh.
North of Path 15 and South of Path 15 average peak prices both lost value consistently throughout the week. By Friday, NP15 and SP15 traded around $36/MWh, a loss of about $5.50 compared with the previous week.
Average daytime prices at Mid-Columbia and the California-Oregon Border were nearly static for the majority of the week. By Friday Mid-C had lost $5.82/MWh compared to July 30; COB had lost $7.64/MWh compared to the previous week.
For off-peak power, average prices in the West ended Aug. 6 in a range between about $27 and $31/MWh, a loss of between $3 and $5/MWh compared to the previous Friday.
Peak demand on the Cal-ISO grid reached 37,920 MW on Tuesday at 5 p.m., the week's high.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a 29 Bcf addition to natural gas reserves provided a total of 2.948 Tcf in storage as of July 30. This addition was 38 Bcf less than last year's 67 Bcf injection at this time. But inventories, now 221 Bcf greater than the five-year average, have exceeded the five-year average for 19 consecutive weeks.
Henry Hub spot prices traded at $4.77/MMBtu on Wednesday, Aug. 4, up 1 percent from the preceding Wednesday, according to the EIA. Spot prices traded at an average of $4.66/MMBtu Friday.
Columbia Generating Station, the Richland, Wash. nuclear facility owned by Energy Northwest, returned to full operation Friday after decreasing generation to 65 percent power July 27 for repairs.
The Bonneville Power Administration introduced a new digital display that shows data used to monitor weather conditions, including wind data from 14 new BPA weather stations installed to help the agency anticipate wind-energy production. It is online at www.bpa.gov/go/windsocks.
What's ahead: Warmer, drier conditions are expected for the Seattle area starting Monday or Tuesday and lasting throughout the week. Highs should not break the 70s. Onshore flow is anticipated to keep temperatures cooler from Oregon through Southern California. Portland temperatures are expected to be below seasonal norms, while the San Francisco Bay Area expects some warming. Forecasters are not wholly confident as to how much warming there will be in the Bay Area or whether it will last. The same onshore flow will depress Los Angeles area temperatures through Tuesday, Aug. 10, if not longer. Meteorologists are keeping an eye on a high-pressure system that could bring warmer conditions. California's Central Valley -- from Sacramento to Bakersfield -- should have warmer weather as the week progresses.
Many meteorologists have begun expressing concern about a strong La Niña pattern developing, which could herald a soggy winter. At least one National Weather Service optimist is not ruling out the possibility of a warmer end to summer or a warm fall [Linda Dailey Paulson].

The car scrappage scheme

If you have a scrap car that is unusable you need to either declare it off the road or scrap it, otherwise your will continue to need to pay road tax on the car.

With decentralization, local governments and authorities are increasingly in charge of the planning and development of their territory and of providing their populations with basic services. Because of limited financial resources and capacity, local governments on all levels are looking into using private funds to build, operate and maintain key infrastructures and provide key services such as social housing, water distribution system, sanitation, waste collection and management and public markets, car parks, street lighting, health centres and bus services.
This trend is often encouraged by the central government that puts in place laws granting local governing bodies the authority to enter into partnerships with the private sector both for service provision as well as the more BOT type of project involving construction and/or rehabilitation activities. This adds another layer to the traditional central government-private sector partnership.

Prime minister Tony Blair this week reassured UK scientists that he fully supports biotechnology after academics wrote to him complaining that genetic modification research was under threat.
Mr Blair was replying to a letter from 114 scientists protesting about the way scientific evidence had been overlooked in the highly public GM debate.
He said biotechnology had great potential for UK industry and said he believed genetics would be the most important science in the first half of the 21st century.
But he stalled when it came to responding to specific concerns raised by the scientists on why the government had not responded to the GM farm-scale evaluation results. He said it was waiting for the assessment of the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment later this year before making a formal response.
The letter was sent last month by Sense About Science, a group set up last year to campaign for an evidence-based approach to scientific controversies.
The lead signatory, Derek Burke, former vice-chancellor of the University of East Anglia and former chair of the government's GM advisory committee, was encouraged by the rapid response from Mr Blair. "It was a positive statement. He said quite clearly that they will make decisions based on sound scientific evidence even though the government has come under criticism from those who want to ban GM," he said.
Professor Burke said ministers had let the debate run away and added that he hoped lessons had been learnt from the way GM discussions had been conducted.

Can you specify in which way the 11 Hebrew words were "redefined"? In
particular, I'd like to know what you consider to be "redefined" in
"Genesis reconsidered" by Armin Held and myself, PSCF 51/4 (Dec. 1999),
231-243; http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1999/PSCF12-99Held.html
Under redefinition, I understand an illegitimate or improbable
interpretation or translation. In principle, I accept your definition of
"from the author's original intent" as a point of departure. The mere
fact of a difference from traditional interpretations does _not_
constitute redefinition! But how do you know the author's original
intent? And, more precisely, we should ask for the original (divine)
Authors's intent (or possibly multiple simultaneous objectives).
To demonstrate redefinition, you need to do this primarily on the basis
of (A) the use made of the same Hebrew word or expression elsewhere in
the Old Testament (each text in its context; and not just a few
favorites), and secondarily (B) the use made in other Hebrew texts of a
similar age (do any exist?) and (C) the use made of clearly
corresponding words or expressions in texts written in related languages
of a similar age (by "similar age", I mean at least 1400 BC, but if you
don't agree, just take "500 BC or any higher age").
Of course, (A) has absolute priority. Within this class of argument,
interpretation has to take into consideration biblical theology, but not
just any theological opinion.
A case made on the basis of (B), (C), and theological opinion only is
too weak to be of any decisive value: it remains one theological opinion
among others. Any translations go under theological opinion. The beliefs
that Genesis 1 represents a myth, or that it is based on an ancient
near-eastern worldview, or that it cannot contain anything its author
couldn't know, or that any attempt at harmonization with modern science
is basically wrong, are also theological opinions.
In the natural sciences, you usually can make a good case by resorting
to "almost universal agreement", but not in theology, where a personal
faith in the God of the Bible is a precondition for a proper
understanding, but not for studying and expounding theology, where
virtually "anything goes".

Reverse Merger into a public shell
| Reverse-Merger.info |
Go public without an IPO Using an OTC Shell
Reverse Merger Disadvantages and Risks
Reverse Merger Investor Relations
Need for Audited Financials When Doing an IPO
or Reverse Merger to Go Public
Securities Laws Made Easy – SEC Registration
Kindly note well – this is only a summary of the relevant securities laws. It is an attempt to give you what you need to know in a simple, readable format. You must consult qualified securities attorneys that are experienced in this niche of the securities laws.
First, there came the Securities Act if 1933 which provided that all new issues of securities have to be registered (with certain exemptions) and created the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was then enacted to cover trading in the markets.
Therefore, under the Securities Act of 1933, if you are going public, you have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If you were already trading, you filed disclosure statements of what is going on in the company with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
However, if you merge your company with a company that is already trading, in other words make a reverse merger with a public shell, you originally did not have to register.
As some unscrupulous people used this to get around making disclosure so they could fleece investors, the SEC came out with a rule providing that if you are going to merge with a public company registered with the SEC, you have to make a filing right away that makes essentially the same disclosure as you would if you were filing originally with the SEC.
Companies that file with the SEC generally require two years of audited financial statement certified by an accountant registered with the Public Company Accountancy Oversight Board (PCAOB).
Companies that are filing with the SEC trade in the recognized stock exchanges or in the OTC BB. However, there is also a market for companies that do not file with the SEC, the Pink Sheets.
The above covers companies that file with the SEC. However, some small companies do not have to file with the SEC. They trade in market known as the Pink Sheets.
The rules of the Pink Sheets encourage, but do not require, them to make disclosures but many do not. This lack of disclosure allows abuses and makes this a very risky market.
Companies that do not file with the SEC can use Regulation D, Rule 504 to raise money privately. The stock sold under the rule is only allowed to trade in certain very limited circumstances. Purchasers of this private stock generally will look to sell their stock under Rule 144. (See below).
Companies that want immediate trading for their stock can merge with Pink Sheet shells, but they should be advised the SEC can stop trading in their stock if it feels that the lack of disclosure is endangering investors.
Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 allows small companies to raise up to $5 million without audited financial statements. The stock can trade in the Pink Sheets. The company files with the SEC and while the SEC can decline to review the filing, it generally reviews it in the same fashion as if it were a regular filing to go public.
Getting Your Stock Trading -- FINRA, Form 211 and Market Makers
If you do not merge
with an already trading shell, to get your stock trading, no
matter how you became public, you have to get the stock quoted on
the Pink Sheets, OTCBB markets or on a stock exchange. For small
companies this means getting the stock trading on the Pink Sheets
or OTCBB.
Rule 144 is a rule that allows investor who have held fully paid for stock for six months for registered companies (12 months for Pink Sheet companies) to sell their stock in the public market subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
If you buy a shell company that has ever been a shell under Rule 144, you cannot use Rule 144.
Therefore, a merger with a company that is not considered a shell company for purposes of Rule 144 is much preferred. If you are stuck with stock in a shell company where you cannot use Rule 144, you may not be able to market your stock.

The London Daily News has learned there is an informal news blackout at BBC Radio over the mounting public outrage following the Gaza incursion by Israeli troops.
According to sources, radio station phone in's have been screening out any callers wanting to talk about the Israeli air strikes and ground offensives in the Middle East.
The BBC's Have Your Say comment sites are being heavily moderated – its main board 'How can a truce be achieved in Gaza?' has had half of its 4,500 comments rejected on the basis of defamation, incitement to crime and hate, harassment, abuse, threats, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, homophobic or racially offensive language.
On the board 'Are the Israeli strikes on Gaza justified?' Half of the 5,000 comments have also been removed for breaking the House Rules stated above.
Radio ban
Producers and presenters have been told to 'stay away' from the subject despite thousands taking to the streets the past few weeks in protest and support of the military action that has seen 600 killed and just recently 40 dead from an air strike at a school.
The self imposed ban has also been reflected in commercial radio with stations like Talksport rarely wanting to broach the subject and many others clearly steering away from on-air debates on the topic. LBC has attempted to tackle the subject with on air debates.
Radio bosses are keen not to enflame the situation and leave themselves open to accusations of bias toward one side or another – the Beeb, still reeling from the Jonathan Ross affair is in no mood for any controversy.
Also there is a responsible editorial reason behind the scaling back of listener comment.
Today we reported on the increase of anti-Semitism on London's streets, the attempted torching of a Synagogue, 24 attacks in total and the appearance of sickening graffiti saying "Kill Jews" and "Jews are scumbags" across the city.
By taking the heat out of the debate it cools an already charged atmosphere, though that will have no effect on the most agitated and likely to let their feelings spill out on the street in direct action.
The denying of debate in a public forum such as the BBC could also leave organisations open to accusations of curtailing freedom of expression.
'We'll kill Jews abroad'
Tension is high in London between Jewish areas of Golders Green, North Finchely, Stanmore, Stanford Hill and St John's Wood which are receiving extra "reassurance patrols" by police and Muslim areas of West Ham, Tower Hamlets, Southall, Hackney, Stoke Newington and Camden.
The heightened sensitivity on the airwaves and chat rooms comes in the wake of chilling comments by the Hamas leader that they will kill Jewish children anywhere in the world in revenge for the devastating attacks of the past few weeks. Mahmoud Zahar said:
"They have legitimised the murder of their own children by killing the children of Palestine. They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people."
Speaking to the Times, Mark Gardner, of the Jewish charity Community Security Trust, warned Jews:
"When the Hamas leadership calls for revenge attacks on Jewish people, we have to be very, very concerned about what that means."
Violent embassy protests
Meanwhile pro-Palestinian protesters continue to mass outside the Israeli embassy in a demo they vow will last all week despite the plunging temperatures.
A wave of anti-Israeli feeling spread over the city this weekend when large rallies were held across the city culminating in angry exchanges and clashes with the police as they fought to protect the Kensington embassy from attack.
Hundreds of demonstrators ripped up and hurled barriers threw sticks and missiles and attempted to rush the building.
Roads were closed and police in riot gear had to contain the 5,000 strong crowds on Kensington High Street. Protesters burned the Israeli flag and labeled the country a terrorist state.
Police say they are working with Muslims to insure protests pass off peacefully with non confrontational stewarding methods.
Jews under attack across Europe
Jews are on their guard across the continent as young disaffected Muslims bring the conflict in the Middle East to the capitals of Europe.
In Paris on Saturday riot police had to separate the 25,000 pro-Palestinian and 4,000 pro-Israeli demonstrators outside the Israeli embassy.
The National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism in France reported petrol bomb and hate attacks on synagogues, there have been similar reports in Belgium.

Good parable, but it is most likely complete bunk http://johnhawks.net/weblog/reviews/brain/paleo/lynch-granger-big-brain-boskops-2008.html
I don't even buy this dysgenics/law-of-the-jungle thinking, the blue state 'intellectuals' are just as capable of savagery as their hick counterparts. After all, they are no pussycats, just the left shoe of imperialism. Or them beigocrats. Or the intelligent sociopaths on Wall Street.
If these guys were real, and as highly-adaptive as us [not to mention superior in intellect], then they would've wiped US out before we had our chance.
