This collection, "Technical Notebooks" is made of 8 booklets that describe the features of some particular equipment, usually available in temporary or mobile construction sites.
This booklet promotes an effective and safe use of Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWP) in temporary or mobile construction sites, describing the following topics:
This publication provides a guidance to the application of the current regulations concerning occupational safety and health on construction sites (Chapter IV of the Legislative Decree 81/2008 as amended) and suggests a method for drawing up the safety plans, based on a careful assessment of all risks. Moreover, you can find some patterns, provided with practical examples, for the elaboration of:
The factsheet regards exposure to chemicals by dermal absorption. Chemicals, even if not irritating and corrosive, may be absorbed in significant amounts through large contact areas of non-damaged skin: their systemic toxic effects cannot be prevented only by environmental monitoring; besides, damaged skin requires more precautions.
Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are important evaluation criteria for determining possible exposure of dangerous chemical substances and the appropriate technical, organisational, and, in certain cases, personal protective measures at the workplace. Depending on the hazard potential of substances or on the possible exposure route, different states and communities have developed different procedures for determining limit values and additional notations.

A partnership between the professional Organization for Prevention in the Construction Industry and Public Works (OPPBTP), the Regional Health Insurance Fund for Parisian region (CRAMIF), unions representing artisans and SMEs of the roofing sector (CAPEB) and the union for HVAC engineering enterprises and plumbing coverage (GCCP) helped to prepare documents that provide an overview of prevention tools, best practices and decision support for enterprises of the roofing sector. Events on this topic were held
A risk assessment is a legal duty. It makes sense to add an evaluation of mental strains at the workplace and to provide a detailed insight into concrete strain situations.BGN now offers guidelines for the evaluation of psychological hazards, especially for the hospitality sector, the bakery and the meat processing industry.
The characterization/labeling of chemicals is an important requirement for an unambiguous hazard communication. However, there are differences between putting chemicals on the market and the activities with chemicals in the enterprise. In the brochure the legal duties of the entrepreneur regarding both fields as well as recommendations for the practical implementation for the user have been put together.

Defeating of safeguards on machines can cause serious accidents, high costs and restrict the availabiltity of machines. Taking a look inside the enterprises shows: one-third of safeguards are defeated (from "Report of defeating of protective devices of machinery" -only available in german-). This results in thousands of accidents every year – some of them fatal. The aim must be to prevent these accidents.

The FCOS Box (www.fcos-box.ch) provides a virtual tour of various office situations that deal with the following areas: "Working ergonomically", "Accident prevention", "Setting up the office" and "Office planning". With a generous dash of humour, the two characters Sophie and Alex show how health and safety in the office can be improved with relatively little effort.
The poster gives advice to enterprises for dealing with persons who wear implants and who are exposed to electromagnetic fields. This poster is well suited to be displayed in any kind of enterprise.
The information "buy extraction units – but in the right way!" (I 7006-2) is very new and supports enterprises to consider important data before buying extraction units.
Employers as well as employees can find a lot of interactive offers on this website. It contains a mix of topics which are important to handle mental strain: Management of stress, leadership and cooperation, communication, how to manage time, how to act in a healthy way in familiy enterprises and last but not least emotional competence.
PARI Maintenance is a risk assessment software, based on the risk assessment standard EN ISO 14121-1. The tool allows maintenance workers to perform risk studies by analysing hazardous situations occurring in maintenance and repair operations.

David Beckham lived up to his description as Britain's most famous "black man" last night when he won an ethnic minorities award.
David Beckham lived up to his description as Britain's most famous "black man" last night when he won an ethnic minorities award.
The star was named sporting personality for the year alongside Arsenal's Thierry Henry at the Emmas, multicultural media awards which showcase the successes of diversity in Britain. The award, presented at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, was given a year after a documentary described the England captain as Britain's most famous black man.
As someone who has a tattoo of the gangsta rapper, Tupac Shakur, an array of "bling" jewellery and a collection of hip-hop records, Beckham sports some popular signifiers of "blackness". Bobby Syed, the founder of the Emmas, said: "David Beckham represents everything the Emmas stand for. He's a sportsman who crosses all multi-cultural boundaries and represents a positive message, that all cultures on this island influence our daily lives."
Mel Gibson's film, The Passion of the Christ, also picked up two awards at the ceremony. The novel interpretation of the Biblical tale, which sparked anger from Jewish groups who accused Gibson of blaming Jews for Jesus' death, won best film production; its Romanian star Maia Morgenstern was best film actress.

The Leading Post on Ashford Realty Group
Since there's a lot more competition over the hectic summer and spring seasons, being able to get the discount you were wishing for may not be possible because asking prices then are usually firm. This period there will be more house buyers competing for attention from busy real estate agents, loan providers and house inspectors because the real estate Colorado Springs market heats up. Over the sunny season when a house is not covered up in snow, it is simpler to find potential problems. Any kind of roof, air conditioner and pool concerns are much easier to identify during this season. As the investor's saying goes, purchase low, sell high. It's something which is well proven on the real estate world. Nonetheless, knowing when to buy and when to sell a house is rather tough. You must understand that buying a house is definitely not as simple or as quickly to provide returns as you may desire. Most of the people would prefer to ride on the boom and avoid the crash. One of the ways you can purchase among the Colorado Springs homes for sale securely would be to avoid trying to time the industry. Some house buyers are tricked into believing that waiting for prices or interest to fall is the right way to purchase a house. Pricing consideration is essential in making sure that you receive bang for your buck in regards to getting Colorado Springs home for sale. To find out if the estimated price is appropriate or not, it is necessary for you to get proper appraisal coming from certified real estate valuers. Acquiring at least three independent price valuations could help you arrive at a suitable price negotiation technique. You should have a pre-contract with a potential seller such as provision for independent valuation if ever the cost is negotiable. It will guide you on arriving at an informed decision whether to buy the exact property or not. If you are a seller, it is normal that expert valuating should come before your selling price. While it is easy to search and find properties for sale, you need to understand that not all homes for sale in the Colorado Springs location can be found on the Internet. Whether you are buying or selling a house, you will require real estate Ashford Realty Group Colorado Springs educated, full service real-estate specialists to direct you in…0 comments Read more

"Sears Teleservice Call Center is a good place to work"
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
Helpful (1)
As a "Senior", Sears Holdings is a good place to work. They do not discriminate because of age. In fact they encourage "Seniors" to join the company by recruiting us at "Seniors-Boomers" Job Fairs. They see the value of having people who have a work ethic and can be depended on. Unfortunately, younger workers never grasped this concept.
In the Call centers, nights and weekend hours are required for some positions.
Advice to Management
Keep on keepin on
If you work hard and excel at what you do, you can and will advance. They are usually fair-handed with promotions and recognition of good results. They are very, very understanding when you need time off for family or personal issues, more than any employer I have ever heard of.
It takes 18-24 months in salaried management to advance. This may be to the benefit of many who are thrown into jobs unprepared, but to those who can adapt well to changing environments and situations, it seems like a restraint on much of the competent management within Sears Holdings.
Advice to Management
I believe Senior Management is on the correct track. I truly do. Many of the programs they are enacting and the business practices they are doing really do make sense from so many standpoints. The main thing I am talking about here is their increased insight into the operations of the corporation from the store level. In the past, as near as two years ago, the company did not seem to deal with operations or sales promotions with the insight of those from a store level. They have radically changed that under Bruce Johnson and listen now more than ever from those in the stores, and it is benefiting the stores and therefore the corporation tremendously.
Helpful (1)
At least there is some Flexability pertaining to your hours of work.
You seldom get a raise and if you do its insulting. Benfits are awful, pay rate when compared to other companies are grossly under par. Management at all levels are incredibly dumb and incompentant.
Advice to Management
They do not deserve to be the position they are in and it is clear by their lack of decision making.

text: TESTIMONIALS What Our Clients Say Great work is only possible when you work with great clients. Thankfully, we've had plenty. Check out what they have to say about working with us. If you want to join their ranks, Start a Conversation today. At KAS Placement, we think of our vendors as partners. Ezra Digital is a significantly positive influence on the way we are able to market digitally. I would recommend them based upon their very talented programmers, a customer-centric attitude, quick turnaround and a pricing model that is reasonable and honest. It's also hard not to like them on a personal basis, too as we are not treated as a walking dollar bill. Rather, we are perceived as a firm with unique goals and personalized needs. Ken Sundheim CEO of KAS Placement A company's image is vital to its success, and a vibrant, user-friendly website is a must in today's global business place. Ezra Digital helped our rentals company realize our vision and enhance our customers' and prospective customers' online experience with us. Kash Dhanda and everyone at Ezra Digital were professional and addressed all of our questions with expertise. We could not be happier with the results. Shlomo Jaobs President, Marvista rentals Kash did an amazing job on our website. His ideas were creative and new. He was meticulously prompt with the schedule and follow-ups. Kash was easy to reach and made our site user friendly–the tutorials he made are extremely helpful. We're getting fabulous feedback on our new site. Thank you for taking our business to the next level! Kristi Birch President, Energizing Spaces I have worked with numerous web design firms in the past, but I never experienced the level of service Ezra Digital provides. Ezra's discovery process, communication, and ability to understand our vision was second to none. I will continue to use Ezra for all future web design needs and I will be actively recommending their services. Bill McIntosh President, Synergy Media Group Ezra Digital was a fantastic business partner. Kash Dhanda, the President of Ezra Digital, gave such a high level of personalized service it seemed like we had been working together for years. The best part was his ability to transform what appeared to haphazard brainstorming into a wonderfully cohesive website. I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of Ezra Digital to anyone seeking a well evolved web presence. Adam Wright Wright Associates As a sole practitioner, I am always stretched to the limit time-wise by my obligations to my clients. So when I realized that my website needed to be updated to be more effective as an introduction to potential clients and user-friendly on various platforms, I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of spending a lot of time and resources to make the necessary improvements. I was also apprehensive about losing control over my ability to update the site myself if I gave it over to someone else.Kash Dhanda of Ezra Digital addressed all of my concerns and came up with a new website that is far more engaging, easier to navigate, more closely reflects my design aesthetic, and speaks to my potential client's need for easy access to information.He also created a timeline for building the new website using a series of small tasks that I could manage to complete on a weekly basis, so I was never overwhelmed. This step-by-step approach was carefully documented using videos that give me an idea on how the final product would look.I would absolutely recommend Ezra Digital to anyone who wants a top-notch website! Bruce Butler President, By Design Having worked with large and small web design companies in the past, my experience with Ezra Digital raised the bar in terms of what to look for. What set them apart is their commitment to providing a personal touch, from a detailed proposal to video progress reports to custom tutorials of our website. Working with Ezra Digital felt like having an internal design team that was on schedule, under budget, and produced gorgeous work. Naman Kothari Marketing Manager, HudsonWay Immersion School Ezra Digital was there for me when I was in a bind. They quickly came in when I was having difficulty with the web designer I had initially hired. The communication was great and it really helped to portray my small business just as I wanted to. They worked at the speed of light to get it done, a huge bonus since my previous designer held up my site for months on end. Ezra Digital not only saved me from a disaster, but gave me a site that was more than I hoped for! I would recommend them to anyone looking for great customer service and awesome web design. Thanks so much for all you have done Ezra, I will continue my business in the future. Jessica Van Ooyen Owner, JVO Salons I've built over 10 websites and had some terrible difficulties with some of them. In the past, I found developers who were good at the back end organization of the website but had no artistic vision or vice-versa. Ezra Digital has that rare combination of technical mastery and artistic sensibility. The whole process was mapped out from the beginning, and getting to the end result proved to be a very efficient use of my time. They understands all the functionalities that must be incorporated into a website today — including surveys and scheduling. I'm now hiring Ezra to take my website to the next level with a Facebook marketing campaign. Winn Wittman A.I.A., N.C.A.R.B. Principal and Founder Ezra Digital was a key partner in helping us create the website our team collectively envisioned. From discovery through implementation, they guided us into each step, while keeping us informed, engaged, and on task. I couldn't be happier with their level of enthusiasm and organization. Jennifer Rowe Casey Director of Marketing & Business Development, BrightTree Studios Ezra Digital delivered a beautiful website that exceeded our expectations. We could not be happier with the end result or the process that brought us there. They have a reliable team at an affordable cost, and they work fast and effectively. I would confidently recommend Ezra to anyone looking to create a new website for their business. Prasad Thottam Michigan Pediatric Ear Nose and Throat Though I am not tech-savvy, Kash Danda and his team at Ezra Digital made my website redesign process an easy and positive experience with virtually no surprises along the way. He is at once patient, responsive, respectful, creative, flexible, and highly talented. This combination of skills allows me to recommend Kash and his team fully and with complete enthusiasm! Sharon Bottner President, Panache Interior Design Not only did the site exceed our expectations in terms of design, aesthetic appeal and functionality, but the team at Ezra Digital went way beyond just being website builders.

Everyone's got to have a hobby or two, right? And sports are good—sports are healthy, right? Moreover, 'gully cricket' round the year, in nearly every alleyway of the country, has been a time-honoured tradition of Indian youth of all ages, smitten with the 'Gentlemen's Sport'. So, why should 'dealing with cricket crazy kids' be a point on the agenda at all?
Well, the term 'crazy' says it all. A natural aptitude for the sport is one thing; so is devoting every free moment to it, collecting memorabilia and citing facts and figures ad nauseam—nothing new about it. However, when a fascination for cricket is hyped up to insane levels by the glamour and media blitz attached to matches—be it World Cups, international tournaments or league matches—and kids abandon their studies and everything else for their obsession with cricket, there is definitely cause for parents to worry.
Some useful tips to help you keep a balance:
1. Play Along
The first thing to keep in mind is that children are contrary creatures. If you show opposition or disapproval for something they like, it reinforces their opinion of you as 'stick-in-the-mud oldies' and they are even more drawn to it. On the other hand, 'reverse psychology' works every time! So, instead of opposing, support their enthusiasm for cricket. Buy them the equipment and encourage them to go to the park and play cricket with their friends every single evening. When their parents virtually force them to do something—even something they like—it usually has a dampening effect. You'll see, the obsession will soon be tempered down into a healthy interest in the game!
2. Encourage Them to Diversify Their Interests
Often children get caught up in cricket, not because they are genuinely interested, but because it is the 'fad' and they don't want to feel out of place among their friends. Explore various hobbies, sports and pastimes with your children and encourage them to enlarge their horizons by taking an interest in multiple hobbies, rather than just obsessing about just one.
3. Make Good Grades a Precondition
Make it clear to your children that you have no problem with their fondness for cricket, as long as they don't let their school performance slip because of it. Be open with them, letting them know that if they have real talent, you would be prepared to support them in making their career in cricket. However, since only a handful of aspirants make it even the zonal teams, out of the thousands who try out, it would be wiser to line up a backup option by studying hard.
4. Set Rules About Screen Time
Come cricket season and most youngsters are to be found glued to the television, and for those kids who have ready access to tablets and mobile phones, even the 'off-season' is occupied with online cricket games, which takes away even the health benefits of playing in the fresh air. Here parents need to take a firm stand and set limits to screen time. This could be enforced by means of incentives (for example, their favourite food or dessert if they comply with the rules for a week), and disincentives (such as cutback in play time or extra study time if they exceed the screen time limit).
5. Let Them See The Grind Behind The Glamour
If your child is really obsessed with the game, it might be a good idea to get her some formal coaching at any of the numerous coaching academies to be found in the city. This will give her a reality check, and prune away all the glamorous visions of Cricket Stardom. Let her see the sweat and hard work involved in playing the game at the professional level. And if your child gets through the grind without flinching and maintains his enthusiasm, perhaps you should seriously consider supporting his passion!

When we are designing an app for worldwide customers, it is always a headache problem for dealing with time for customers from different countries and different time zone. It is quite easy to get confused with our server locale and how to store the time data in local server for each customers. This problem description is a little bit abstract. Please let me give you a real example to explain the problem in details and I am gonna show you several ways to handle the user date and time in database server.
Several days ago, I am developing my project "Google Translate Voice Mp3 Downloader" and redesign the database which will record the user request for each word and store the download record. Here is how my database looks like:
These two tables are very simple. Each tablet will store a date in DateTime format. Actually, I am using Varchar format to store the date and time in my first version, which is the most popular way to store user datetime in the old age. Here is a code example to show you how to store timestamp in String or Varchar format in database. This is the php code, but the concept shall be the same in different program languages.
$currentTime = time(); //E.g. 2147483646; It will return the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).
By default, it will be a integer, for example "2147483646". But in a 32 bit system, it can only encode the datetime to 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. This is the famous Year 2038 problem. But this problem can be easily avoided if you are using 64 bit server. Before some people like to store this int value in mysql in TIMESTAMP type. My suggestion is never do that. You can store it as Varchar or String in mysql. However, when you store time value in string formate, you will get another problem when you try to fetch data by date range from database or sort data by time in database.
The Best Way to Store User Timestamps in Database
Now I am using another way to store user time value in database, and I believe that could be the best way (if you know a better way, please let me know!). In MySQL (or their database I guess), there is a new date type DATETIME, which will store both date and time value. You can check how C# saves Datetime value in MSSQL. It displays the value in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'. Here is how I store the customer timestamp by PHP and MySQL.
$currentTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time()); //then save the $currentTime into database
The above code example will get the current UTC timestamp and output as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format, for example, 2015-05-05 05:11:19. Then you can save this value into database by DATETIME format.
The Best Way to Solve Timezone Problem When Users and Server Has Different Locale
For most of the worldwide applications, no matter they are iPhone app, Android app, or web app, all of them are facing a problem, how to save time for their customers. As you know that our server has a local timezone, but all the customers are from different place in the world, with different timezone. Let's say your server is based in Hong Kong for example, then its time zone is UTC +08:00. So when your server local time is 8 am on Friday, the customers in New York are still at 8 pm on Thursday. Then the question is which time you should save in your server database, 8am on Friday or 8pm on Thursday.
Solution 1: Save Timestamp as Local Time
This is the most easy way to think. In one project, my college is using this way to save user timestamp, I don't like this approach though. So in the database, all timestamp is basing on HK time, UTC +08:00. When you fetch the time value from the database and show it to your users, you have to convert the timestamp from HK time to NY time, or UK time if your users are from UK. It seems to be a straight forward solution. However, there is a critical problem in this solution, what if you plan to move your server or data center from HK to US. Of course you can set your server locale as HK even it is located in US. But it may cause lots of confusion when you maintain your server log files.
Solution 2: Convert to UTC Time Stamp Before Saving
Instead of saving server local time, you can save your user timestamp in UTC time. When your user is living in US, but your server is located in HK, they have the same UTC time. When you fetch the time stamp from database, you can easily convert it back to your user local time basing on their timezone. This is the best way I prefer. It doesn't require you to make any changes on your servers locale, no matter where your servers are located. Currently, I don't see any problems in this way to store user time. If you know that, please let me know.
2 Ways To Get User Time Zone
The most accurate way to get your users time zone is letting your users choose the time zone or asking them where they are living. There are lots of examples when you register account in web applications. But it may cause your register process a little bit user unfriendly.
<script src="./res/jstz-1.0.4.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var tz = jstz.determine(); $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "./gettimezone.php", data: 'timezone='+ tz.name() }); }); </script>
gettimezone.php is my back end server php script to save the user timezone temporarily, in the session. Here is the source code:
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); session_start(); if(!empty($_GET['timezone'])) { $_SESSION['timezone'] = $_GET['timezone']; } ?>

As the years have gone by and you have seen the receivers get that much bigger, the defensive backs have followed suit. Not very often will you still find those valued members in the secondary below 5'10".
Well, Mike Brown is one of those, standing just a half inch under that mark, so for him to be sitting on over 20 offers, you are talking about a special player indeed. Special enough that Brown was able to score on almost a third of his carries last season at running back while amassing almost 1,000 yards and most teams are still looking at the St. Peters Preparatory star to play on the other side of the ball.
Brown thinks he knows the reason.
"I'm real smart back there." Brown said of playing DB. "We play a lot of zone, so I learn to be able to read the QB, the play, my guy, everything I need to, to either make a play on the ball or come up in run support."
Brown attributes many things to the kind of attention he's seeing for the defensive back position, but he said that regardless of his size, you won't find a reluctant bone in his body. "I'm going to be physical with anyone." he said. "I am a good tackler, plus I know how to lay a hit on someone if I get a chance."
Brown's size doesn't seem to have hindered him and it's safe to say that his best forty time of 4.27 doesn't hurt either. You want a DB that can close on the ball fast? I think you've found your guy. "In our scheme, you have to be quick in being able to read it and then just as quick getting there." Brown stated. "I've never had a problem doing that at all."
I bet.
Back to the offers, the list is over 20 now, coming from such schools as Miami, Nebraska, Syrauce, Pitt and as Brown stated, most of the Big East, some of the Big Ten, Big XII, so on and so forth.
If Brown seems a little lax in trying to pinpoint these schools is that his criteria for which one he chooses stems from a very personal and up-close perception. He's not even going to consider a team that he hasn't had a chance to see for himself. "I have to get to know that team, the coaches and the program." Brown stated. "I have to get an idea about the atmosphere and how comfortable I am. I can only do that if I visit."
Thus far, Penn State and Rutgers are the only schools fortunate enough to have Brown as a visitor, but Mike stated that he will for certain be visiting Virginia and Maryland, schools that will have their "junior days" close enough that Brown will be able to attend both. And, as to those oh-so-valuable officials, Brown already has it in his mind about at least a couple of teams that he's interested in visiting when he decides to start taking those either during or after his last season. "I'd like to visit Virginia for one of those." Mike said. "And, I am really interested in Nebraska, because my former quarterback (Joe Dailey) goes there."
With Nebraska on his list, you can say it's logical to assume distance isn't a problem and as for weather, Brown is in Jersey, so that's hardly an issue as well. Really, for Brown, the only issue is time and whatever amount it takes is going to be just fine with him in the end. "I'm more interested in making the right decision than I am about making a decision fast or anything like that." he said. "Like I said, if the place feels like that's where I need to be, that's where I will go."
"I don't know when that's going to happen, but I will make sure it's the best decision for me when it does."
Brown is considered to be one of the top defensive back prospects in the East, but is also being recruited as a running back. Mike said that given his choice, he would opt for the defensive side of the ball. "I just think that when it comes to making plays, that's where I can make the most." he said.
Mike doesn't have any camps scheduled for the rest of the Summer and is unsure as to any other unofficial visits other than the ones stated above.
Brown carries a 3.3 GPA and is taking his ACT this month.

The private investigator embroiled in the News of the World phone-hacking scandal has been ordered to reveal the names of the journalists who instructed him to illegally intercept private voicemail messages.
The High Court ruled that Glenn Mulcaire, who was jailed together with a tabloid reporter in 2007 for tapping the mobile phone messages of eight public figures, must answer questions about who specifically instructed him to carry out the operation.
Mr Mulcaire had claimed that he should not be forced to divulge the information as it could leave him vulnerable to incriminating himself. But Mr Justice Mann, presiding over a civil case brought by one of Mr Mulcaire's victims, Nicola Phillips, rejected this defence. The judge ruled that the private investigator should answer questions specifically about whether commands to break into the voicemail of Ms Phillips, who at the time was working for the publicist Max Clifford, came from Ian Edmonson, then news editor of the News of the World.
Mr Justice Mann also told Mr Mulcaire that he must make it known why he was tapping Ms Phillips' messages and whether Mr Edmonson had asked him to investigate people connected to Mr Clifford. "They are legitimate questions which should be answered in order to have this case determined justly," Mr Justice Mann said.
The ruling is expected to have wider ramifications in the continuing controversy surrounding Andy Coulson, the Prime Minister's media advisor and former News of the World editor. He has long maintained that Mr Mulcaire's work was not officially sanctioned by the newspaper, and that he had no knowledge of the work. This account will be further called into question if it emerges that his news editor was making direct demands to Mr Mulcaire.
It could also prove embarrassing for the Metropolitan Police. Scotland Yard must now release documents relating to Ms Phillips that have been held since police raided Mr Mulcaire's home in August 2005. The papers were expected to be released when Mr Clifford sued the News of the World for damages relating to breach of privacy over the hacking last year.
But Mr Clifford subsequently withdrew his action in March, before the disclosure had been made, when the newspaper reached a settlement with him of £1m.
The Metropolitan Police chose not to oppose Ms Phillips' request for the documents to be released, but requested that the judge limit what documents would have to be made available.
With lawsuits also being brought by former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, Sienna Miller, Sky Sports presenter Andy Gray, and even the Metropolitan Police's own former Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Brian Paddick – all alleged victims of Mulcaire – there are many other cases that could also be affected.
In a separate court case in Glasgow, it was yesterday alleged that the News of the World twice told Mr Mulcaire to hack into the voicemail of the former Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan, who is under trial for perjury. Mr Mulcaire has now been named as a witness.

|This is her photo from Disney's website and these braids, thick as they look, are sparse compared with the marine- towing- rope- gauge braids my Mulan came with
Like all the Disney toddler dolls, she is made of heavy high quality vinyl and has a somewhat woeful expression. Her hair is dense, rough and a one-dimensional, very dark black, it is very well rooted along her hair line and is rooted into a two-pony tail style with a clear part from her forehead to the nape of her neck. Her hair was originally in two very big, very thick braids--when I unbraided them--Whoa! I was a bit disappointed --her hair is WAY too thick and choppily cut-really no other style than the braids can really be achieved with this hair this way. Her hair is also absolutely shellacked with hair gel.
To me, hair is the most important feature on a doll. I cannot just leave the manufacturer's style--I want my dolls to look unique and change their hairstyle with their outfits. I need options-I need good hair!
I decided to thin out this haystack of hair a bit and actually found my always-misplaced thinning shears and very slowly began to thin her hair out to try and achieve some semblance of actual hair a child or even a child yeti might have. You have to be careful with thinning shears--you can actually make a fuzzy hair situation worse with them. I kept them below her chin level to prevent flyaways and made sure my cuts did not create more choppiness by varying the angle I held them and where I made the cuts along the length.
After washing the hair, the spit curl on her forehead and the ringlets by her ears went totally frizzy, but this was a smaller problem. I took out a lot of bulk--but the hair remained very bulky. I went from slowly thinning each small section around her head to just going nuts with the thinning shears--thinking: I am probably going to have to reroot her anyway.
|This playline Ariel toddler doll has some of the best manufacturer doll hair I have ever seen, Ariel has left my collection -she now brings her lovely smile and super brushable hair to a special needs PreK classroom.
I have other Disney dolls and their hair is lovely--Tangled, Princess and Me Cinderella and also my Goodwill find, playline Toddler Ariel whose hair was silky and gorgeous after a day at spa.
I ended up thinning the hair mountain again and again and again, trimming the length and then after a second wash and condition, rolling it in small perm rods-I had to do each half of her head separately--because there is still so much hair I ran out of perm rods--Did I say she has too much hair? : ) This did not work either as the curls just fell out. I did not boil perm as in my experience this type of hair does not hold up to heat.
So I decided she must have a reroot. It was quite easy to remove her body, with little effort I just popped out the ball joint from the neck. Now I thought --I will just warm up the head and pop out the other portion of the ball joint--LOL not happening--it was glued in and the material of this portion was so crumbly-like a stick of Juicy Fruit gum--I was finally able to pry it out without damaging the head with a large screwdriver-but the joint is mangled. I think I can rig something up with a plumbing ball joint to replace it....will share that when I get there.....
I have several skeins of saran hair in shades of brown left over from other projects and I think that will look great on her...
I have several skeins of saran hair in shades of brown left over from other projects and I think that will look great on her...
Have you had any experiences with Animator's series doll hair? I had Pocahontas on my want list, but now I don't want any more dark haired dolls from this current line, unless I am ready to reroot them or they are older issues with possibly better quality hair.
Bye for now --gotta go vacuum up doll hair :) Stay tuned for Mulan's reroot.

In a recent interview on "CBS This Morning," Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon confirmed his plan to do away with minimum wage in the new year. McMillon, who is the youngest CEO of Walmart, set a deadline of early in 2015 to increase the retail giant's employees' wages.
While Walmart carries the stigma of being a "low-wage, dead-end employer," the reality of his business model is run much different.
McMillon announced that his plan, which was initially revealed this past October, will put Walmart's employees, who are making minimum wage, far above the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.
"We're going to make some changes in a few months that will create a situation where no Walmart associate in the United States makes federal minimum wage," McMillion said during his interview with CBS.
Walmart faced much criticism in recent years as many demonstrators continue to protested and strike for higher wages and better working conditions throughout the country.
A Walmart spokesperson said the plan is something the company is actively working on and therefore, specifics are yet to be determined. The announcement comes during the high season for the retail giant.
"We can't run a good business if we didn't take care of people," McMillon said.
Showing 2 reactions
Michelle Mobley commented 2014-12-14 11:44:33 -0800In order to make these changes efficient, Walmart must hold their employees to exemplify a higher standard, if they are going to earn a higher hourly wage. Yes, many Walmart worker are great workers with excellent customer service skills, but, there are TOO MANY who are dumber than a bag of doorknobs, or, just hate the customers.
Karĕna Myers commented 2014-12-13 18:03:26 -0800Not the least impressed, unless it's $25 an hour.

NaBloPoMo Day 22: Catch Up with the Farmshare Breakfast Strata
Someday I will develop a taste for rhubarb, daikon and massive quantities of kale. But until that day comes, I'm going to stick to my pattern of bringing home the farmshare each week, throwing the veggies in the crisper drawer, and then when the drawer is full dig through desperately brainstorming something, ANYTHING to make with all these veggies before they rot, and cursing myself for not getting around to it earlier.
One of my favorite techniques for using a lot of veggies at once is roasting: Cut up a whole bunch of stuff (it's good if the things you pick have similar densities, like potatoes/carrots/winter squash or zucchini & bell peppers), toss with olive oil & seasonings, and roast at 400 degrees until it reaches desired level of cooked-ness (my preference is burned beyond recognition).
Another techniques is to make a strata. I've had mixed success in the past, but the one I made this weekend hit all the marks. Since you cook the veggies before mixing them in with the eggs, you can use whatever veggies you have sitting around from your farmshare, threatening to rot if you don't COOK THEM SOON.
Elizabeth's Clean Out the Crisper Strata
Ingredients (unless otherwise specified, these ingredients are measured in the highly scientific amount of "whatever feels right")
-Onions (I also had a couple of shallots, so I threw them in too)
-Vegetables, cut up into smallish pieces (in my case, I had a ton of swiss chard)
-Shredded cheese
-Oil for pan
-about 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and other amounts of seasonings as desired
-1 dozen eggs
-Not necessary but a very nice touch: stale baguette (or bread) & milk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cut up onions & garlic and cook in pan with olive oil for a couple minutes
- Add in the other vegetables and cook steadily. Add the more dense vegetables first (here: the cut up chard stems), and the less dense vegetables later because they take less time to cook (here: the chard leaves). Cook until everything is obviously cooked, but not SO long that it's a soggy mess.
- Spray some oil in a baking pan. If you have some stale bread or baguette, slice it up and line the bottom of the pan with it. Then pour some milk (like 1/2 cup or so) on it. You don't have to saturate the bread, but put enough on there that the bread starts soaking it in.
- Beat 1 dozen eggs long enough that the yolks are all mixed in, just lie if you are making scrambled eggs. Mix in shredded cheese salt, pepper and other seasonings (except for red pepper flakes).
- Scoop the veggies on top of the soaked bread in the baking pan (if you didn't go with the bread, just put the veggies in a greased baking dish). Then pour the egg mixture all over it. Be careful about it and do not over fill the pain, because the strata will expand while cooking. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
- Bake until the strata begins pulling away from the sides of the pan, and the middle has set. I think it took around 40-45 minutes.
Serve with salsa, sour cream or hot sauce!

Jaedon Descheneau is glad to be back on the ice, and he proved it Saturday night by netting the overtime winner for the Edmonton Oilers at the Young Stars tournament in Penticton.
Descheneau took a pass from Chad Butcher and beat Calgary Flames goalie Mason McDonald 47 seconds into overtime, giving the Oilers a 4-3 win.
"It was good to get back out there playing," says Descheneau, who suffered a shoulder injury early last season and only played two games for the Kootenay Ice in the WHL. He'd never played three-on-three overtime before. "I only got five seconds tonight, so yeah, I did like it."
Joey Benik scored twice for the Oilers. He played in Penticton for the junior 'A' Vees, helping them win a national title in 2012.
"It's a rink I was at for two years and had a little success. Certainly saw some friendly faces," says Benik, who spent the last four seasons at St. Cloud State.
Collin Shirley had the other Oilers goal. Dylan Wells made 35 saves. The Oilers had a 3-1 lead midway through the third period, but the Flames pulled even with two goals in 3:01.
"It was a good game, an entertaining game. I liked our grit and compete level tonight," says head coach Gerry Fleming.
The Oilers are 2-0 at the tournament. They close it out Monday at 12:30pm Mountain time against the Winnipeg Jets. The game can be heard on 630 CHED. (jrw)
