Okay that sounds good, so Nightmare can go on the G17 page.
I wouldn't call it a disambiguation page really, since they're all parts of one whole (and not distinct entities with name collisions). The Saga: Iria actually exists so I'll just redirect G17 refs there.

The first time you get a true look, or even a 'hands on' with the Blackberry Passport, you are taken back by its massive size. It is big but then again look around and notice how few people actually carry their smart phone in a case on their belt or hanging elsewhere on their body. Let's face it; smart phone cases attached to belts seem to have gone the way of the fanny pack now haven't they? It was a fad. Samsung initially hit a home run with the size of their Galaxy Note II and now Blackberry is following suit with the Passport. In doing so, they have been able to build the most powerful and most advanced smart phone on the market today.
There are so many benefits to the Passport that others will eventually have to follow suit, the most important of which is the fact that Blackberry phones are unlocked; there is no access code required to unlock your phone for out of country use, and maybe that's why they include the international power adapters. We can add that there is no other cell capable of even coming close to true multi-tasking as the BB10 OS can and this is why it was so important to ensure recent releases have the most powerful components that money can by. Battery life is untouchable and having a 1400×1400 HD screen at your fingertips is literally like having the fastest and smallest ultrabook that money can buy. This doesn't come with some negatives however…
Apps are not as plentiful with the Blackberry 10 OS as they are with Android or IOS, even though Google jumped in and many Android Apps install and work quite easily on the Blackberry. One shortfall for me personally is the lack of Canon EOS Remote App for Android that is compatible with Blackberry and my ensuing result is having my old Samsung Galaxy Note II in my camera bag. There may also be the issue of size, however as we mentioned, most don't use cases much anymore and we are seeing smartphones in pockets and purses.
For our final evaluation though, we had to go back to Karen's thoughts as she is one of those few that just has to have a keyboard. Her initial concerns were seen with the digital numerical keypad and not having those physical numbers that she was used to, although she believes now that she has much greater access to other features this way than she did prior. She also thought it to be a bit big but was the first to mention that it goes in her purse anyway. The Passport accomplished one thing, however, that no other phone could have succeeded in doing and that was bringing her into the true digital age as she found herself exploring features that she had never prior. I have even caught her walking around the office as she held the Passport sideways, scrolling using the keyboard with her thumb. Her only wish is that they had the red keyboard version at the time of review….very attractive design update.
All in all, we feel that the Blackberry passport is definitely worthy of our Innovation Award as they have done great things with their 'touch keyboard', things that make using a smart phone in a business setting just that much easier.
At the end of the day though, don't take our word for it. Click the link below and check out what those who purchased the Passport have to say at Amazon! With over 1200 reviews, the Passport has earned a 4.6 of 5 star rating.

The BlackBerry Passport can be easily overlooked at first appearance due to its size and weight. This size and weight turns out to be a huge plus for the Passport, enabling the most powerful and most complete multi-task environment available in a smart phone.

Can I start this article with putting that one simple question here in front of you? Say Yes! Coz I am anyway going to ask this 😛
Okay, so what do you think of people who are doing great, I mean who are, you can say for now living your dream life, i.e. the one you always imagined or imagine of living one day? If you ask me, I would say that there was a time when I used to think that these people are just so much amazing and talented and worth of it and everything which can make them look like a God(it's a big word though) in my eyes.
And maybe many of you are on that same track for now; obviously this is what human nature is all about. But is this really worth it? Aren't we indirectly making ourselves fall down a little? I mean, no doubt the people that reached at that point of success are great but not because they have that great blessing from God's side or that they are carrying something magical inside them, it's just because they worked for it and that is it.
And so is the thing which applies to your case, if you want it, work for it. This is quite a cliché thing to mention here though; everyone says the same thing, no? Can we just walk forward a little and think about how we can get this done? Well, okay so we know that whenever we are moving towards trying something new, it bring some changes, some transformations in our life, which is obviously not acceptable by each and every one. But here is the thing which can maybe of great help to you and convince you to get this change to become a part of life.
According to Mr Robin Sharma, a great great motivator and positive vibe to everyone's life (how stupid I am, you obviously know that), one can get their life transformed within 66 days of life. Yes, you heard it right, no matter what thing you want to apply to bring change in your life, it will become your habit after this 66 days of challenge. Okay, before I utter any other word out, have a look at this video, I am serious, you got to watch this, like without wasting even a second.
Okay, now this was just the sample, Here is the complete video, if you like to, then proceed and click over http://www.robinsharma.com/academy/pmao/fts02/. Trust me, this is worth of giving your time to.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to take up this challenge? Or still swinging around that thing about whether you would be able to do or not? Actually you know what it's totally okay to be feared but don't let this fear of yours get a upon control all over your life and resist you from walking any step forward, atleast take a chance, Give it a try!
I think, I have said enough of my part and now it's all upon you about how you want to take this. Hope you take that better way to choose your life and not your fears.
Have a nice day, Take care! 🙂
Well, Enough of inspiration, now you tell me that if you would ever dare to take such challenges than what would be the thing which you would love to do like for once and then forever?
Note: Hey there, somewhere in this post you may have felt that I am just being that second source to what Robin Sharma Sir said. But, let me tell you that this is all done to be that source of making you get connected with this inspirational video. I know many of you must be knowing this personality and maybe following him already but I just wanted to make sure that no one miss out this thing. So, I hope you like this.

Guilty Verdict in Burglary Case
District Attorney Announces Trial Result
Media Release
For Immediate Release
Contact: Michelle Bays
775.321.4307 (o); 775.771.6049 (c)
The Washoe County District Attorney's Office has announced a guilty verdict in a residential burglary trial that concluded late last week. The defendant was accused of breaking into a Sparks home in December 2016 and stealing various items of value including jewelry, electronics, and a firearm. Sentencing is set for November 15, 2017, and the defendant faces up to 35 years in prison.
Jerome Alan Kelly, 29, from Sparks was found guilty on one count of Burglary (Second or Subsequent Offense) with a Firearm, one count of Grand Larceny of a Firearm, one count of Ex-Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and one count of Possession of a Controlled Substance in District Court last Thursday. Kelly was also convicted and sentenced on three unrelated felony cases last month involving charges of Duty to Stop at a Scene of an Accident Involving Personal Injury, Burglary, and Attempted Grand Larceny of a Motor Vehicle. These convictions resulted in a combined 16 year prison sentence.
The case against Kelly began last December when the Sparks Police Department (SPD) responded to a burglary in progress at an address on Noreen Drive in Sparks. When SPD patrol officers arrived in the area, they contacted Kelly after the homeowner pointed him out. Kelly fled, but was apprehended after a brief pursuit. SPD officers were able to determine that Kelly had entered the home alone and placed numerous items in bags, apparently for later pick up. When the homeowner returned, Kelly fled with numerous pieces of jewelry, electronics, and a handgun in a backpack. When contacted, Kelly was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine. Kelly was arrested and this office filed criminal charges against him.
At trial, Deputy District Attorneys Jeff Hoppe and Kevin Naughton focused on the fact that Kelly was the only one seen leaving the backyard of the home and possessed nearly every missing item that belonged to the victims.

sation for the damage to his artwork. Unless the insured has established himself
in the art world beyond his immediate
community, his paintings are not fine art,
regardless of how well done they are. A
copy of a Rembrandt, while beautiful, is
not worth the same as an original Rembrandt. Therefore, the insured would be
compensated for an equal quality picture
of the same subject.
Collectibles are generally items that appeal to a broad audience whose members
accumulate the items. Baseball cards,
comic books and certain figurines are all
collectibles. Most are mass produced with
a limited number still available, which
is part of what makes them collectible.
Some may be on the market today. Many
people collect Swarovski glass figures, and
there is a collectors club with annual pieces available to those in the club. They are
expensive, but they are not fine arts. Some
carriers do allow collectibles to be scheduled as fine arts; generally those policies
will include bric-a-brac in their listing
of art objects and may indicate statuary
including but not limited to Hummels;
wording like this opens the policy to the
scheduling of collectibles as fine arts.
But what about a bride's fine china and
crystal stemware she registered for and
received as wedding presents? Stemware
and china can be expensive, especially
when several place settings are owned by
an insured. Such items are personal property. While expensive, they are mass produced, readily available, and even though
the insured uses them only on special occasions, they are not fine arts.
An insured had a beach themed restaurant and claimed a loss of $300,000 in
stolen shark teeth. The teeth were both
decoration and for sale to customers. The
policy in force described fine arts in part
as "….rare glass, bric-a-brac, and similar
property of rarity, historic value or artistic merit." Shark teeth can go for as little
as $7.99 for 50 teeth on eBay to $2,500
The first step in insuring fine arts is determining that an object is indeed a fine
art. A fine art is a genuine work of art
with some historic or artistic significance
that requires specific fine skill to create
and is often rare or unique. A painting I
create is certainly rare since I don't paint;
likewise it has little to no artistic value or
merit, even if it turns out reasonably well.
A popular activity now is to attendthe Painting with a Twist or Paint andWine classes where a group of people arewalked through creating a painting of aparticular scene while drinking wine orother alcoholic beverages. While the at-tendees create respectable pictures, theyare not fine art. Framed prints that arereadily available, even if the insured hadthem custom framed, are still just per-sonal property and not fine arts.
So what about the insured who is an
artist and paints pictures for his own
collection or even sale? The insured sustained a fire and was looking for compen-

Kardashians Wear Lingerie for Halloween: Who Looked Hottest?!by Tyler Johnson at .
The comedy classic Mean Girls described the phenomenon in which some young women view Halloween as an opportunity to wear attire that's far more revealing than anything they would wear in public any other day of the year.
"The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears," a pre-downfall Lindsay Lohan tells us in the film.
As you can see, the ladies of the Kardashian clan decided to skip the mammalian accessories and opted for seraphim wings instead.
Yes, the sisters went as Victoria's Secret Angels, and their looks are both extremely legit and a little weird.
Legit, because the ladies sported actual wings produced by VS, and weird, because Kendall is an actual VS Angel, which means this is a bit like a cop showing up to a Halloween party in uniform.
Kim acknowledged both of these facts in her IG caption:
"Thank you @VictoriasSecret for sending us actual runway looks and real wings to borrow for the night!!! OMG a dream come true! Got to be a Victoria Secret Angel for the night! And Kendall got good practice lol," Kiki wrote.
Let us leave aside for the moment any discussion of who had what surgically altered and just agree that all of the Kardashians are hot.
A question that's often debated by both fans and the Kard clan themselves, of course, is who's the hottest of the lot.
This is a tricky issue that's a bit like choosing your favorite Beatle.
You might personally prefer John, but you can really say that someone who picks Paul is wrong?
This is a very similar scenario, except with singing and songwriting replaced with T&A.
Take Kylie, for example.
Yes, we've seen Kylie Jenner in lingerie before. Many times, in fact.
But this time she has wings, which means it's a costume, and not what the kids call a thirst-trap.
But there's a reason that the mother of one's Instagram posts so frequently go viral.
Kendall may be the family's resident model, but Kylie is no slouch when it comes to "serving looks," as the kids also say.
This year, she gets bonus points for trotting out multiple costumes, including this Barbie-inspired ensemble.
It's both creative and self-effacing, as Kylie has been criticized for the lifeless doll-like expression she sometimes sports in her photos.
But the award for this year's funniest Kard clan costume goes to Kendall Jenner who went as a fembot from the Austin Powers series, alongside a friend who does not appear to be her new boyfriend Anwar Hadid.
Depressing fact of the day: Kendall was 2 years old when the first film in the Austin Powers series hit theaters.
Great, now we feel weird about commenting on her hotness at all!
Thanks for ruining our fun, inexorable march of time!
Well, so much for the "who's hottest?" conversation.
We guess we'll just go ahead and say Khloe since she's had such a sh-tty year.
Of course, we reserve the right to change our minds if we accidentally piss off Kanye.
Now that he's done with politics, dude has all the time in the world to rant about pettier matters.

Authorities asked the public Thursday for help in finding a young man suspected of burglarizing a Mission Hills home.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
Tyler Luz, 20, and an unidentified accomplice allegedly sneaked into the house in the 2400 block of Marilouise Way on Wednesday evening and tried to steal a computer, then fled empty-handed when a resident confronted them, according to San Diego police.
A surveillance video camera over the front door of the residence recorded clear images of one of the suspected burglars, later identified as Luz, a roughly 5-foot-11-inch, 170-pound white man with blond hair and blue eyes.
Police had no description of the other suspect.
Anyone with information about the case was asked to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 or contact the agency online at sdcrimestoppers.org. Tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Sept. 17, 2016
Nashville, Tenn. – Both Ohio State men's and women's cross country teams knocked off top-30 teams on Saturday morning at the Commodore Classic. The women took second overall and defeated No. 19 Mississippi State and No. 26 Vanderbilt, while the men finished third overall and knocked off No. 28 Louisville.
The Buckeyes nestled three runners in the top 20 spots on their way to knocking off No. 28 Louisville and taking third place in the 23-team competition Saturday morning at Percy Warner Park. The men, who were running their first 8K of the season, had four different runners register personal bests.
Middle Tennessee took the team title with 63 points, Georgia finished second with 81 points and the Buckeyes earned their spot with 106 points.
"Our top three finishers ran really well for us," associate head coach Brice Allen said. "Evan (Stifel) opened very well for us and did what he needed to do. Alex (Lomong) had a very nice race, considering it was his first 8K race, and it was great to have Jake (Mandel) come in 22 seconds behind our number one runner.
"It was a great race down here at Vanderbilt, a solid team day overall, and we are really looking forward to competing at the All-Ohio Championships in two weeks."
Stifel, a junior, was the first Buckeye to cross the finish line with a time of 24:52.1 for a 10th-place showing. Stifel covered the course with an average mile time of 5:00.2.
Lomong had an impressive display of discipline in his first career 8K race. The freshman clocked a personal best of 25:01.5 on his way to a 15th-place finish; he was the fourth-fastest freshman in the race.
Lingering not too far behind Lomong was Mandel; he finished in 17th place with a personal best time of 25:14.1. Kevin Blank (25:37.6/34th place) and Aaron Wood (25:39.7/35th place/personal best) rounded out the scoring effort for the Scarlet and Gray.

April 5 ~ Revolutionary War Exhibition Opens at Anderson House
Published: April 1st, 2019
King Louis XVI of France sent thousands of French soldiers and sailors across the Atlantic to support the American War of Independence. It was an adventure none of them would forget. This special exhibition, "Revolutionary Reflections: French Memories of the War for America," which will remain on view through next October at the Society of the Cincinnati's historic mansion headquarters and American Revolution Institute, explores how the king's officers understood the American Revolution and their role in the achievement of American independence, and how they remembered the war in the years that followed — years of revolutionary upheaval in France that included the execution of the king and many of their brothers-in-arms.
Drawn from the Institute's collections, along with loans from private collections, the exhibition pairs the written recollections of French officers with life portraits of the writers, including masterpieces by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze and the great Spanish portrait painter Vicente López y Portaña. Among the treasures on view will be the original manuscript memoir of General Rochambeau, who commanded the largest French army sent to America, along with his family's annotated copy of the published work.
Another highlight of the exhibition is the long-lost portrait of the marquis de Saint-Simon, who commanded 4,000 French troops at Yorktown, together with Saint-Simon's manuscript journal of the Yorktown campaign. The portrait was long owned by the marquis' descendants, but was hidden during the Spanish Civil War and then long forgotten. The Institute acquired it and brought it to Washington in 2018. The portrait has never been displayed in a formal exhibition in the United States. The journal — yet to be published in English — has never been displayed anywhere.
The most striking piece on view is a posthumous allegorical portrait of Thomas François Lenormand de Victot by Nicolas-René Jollain, painted in 1783. A French naval officer who died during the war, Lenormand is depicted opposing Death, portrayed as a skeleton in flight bearing a sickle. The Institute acquired this extraordinary painting in 2010.
The eight officers whose memories are featured in the exhibition were well-educated French nobles. They made sense of their wartime experiences through careful observation and documentation. Some were battle-tested veterans. Others, including the Marquis de Lafayette, were young men when they arrived in America. The war for American independence was a defining event for all of them. Together their reflections remind us that historical memory is fragile, always shifting, and often very personal.

At CloudJumper, we have been developing our full service WaaS solution and VDI/DaaS/WaaS development software for almost 20 years. We have watched this industry since long before anyone referred to it as the cloud. We have also watched the incredible growth of our company, of the quality of the technology we use to build our solutions, and the different ways our partners and their end customers use our solutions to grow and strengthen their businesses.
Now, we are coming to the end of yet another amazing year of growth and market adoption: 2016 was exceptional, as was 2017 and 2018. But it is going to 2019 when this industry just explodes! So yes, Mr. Jassy is right, and you are still not too late to get into the cloud and make deep inroads quickly, but that window is shrinking.
In January, Microsoft will go into general release with it is Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) solution: a Workspace as a Service offering in Azure. This is huge for our market, and CloudJumper is and has been in the middle of this project with Microsoft for more than 18 months…and if you really want to add it up, we could make the claim that we have been helping them explore the cloud for more than 10 years! But, WVD, it is going to be a game changer. Microsoft is putting billions of dollars into marketing the solution just in North America, and true to Microsoft fashion, they are bringing their partners along for the ride – thank you, Microsoft, we appreciate the support you have given us for so long!
As a Microsoft "leading partner" (their words, not ours!) of WVD, we are already fully prepared to hit the street running when Microsoft goes into general release in early 2019, and that means that our partners will also be fully ready. So, we have to ask: If you aren't already selling CloudJumper, why not?
Well, if all of that doesn't convince you to get on board with CloudJumper, here are 4 leading reasons why you need to start the transition right now:
1. It's Strategic | Your End Customers know about the cloud; they understand its value; and by and large, they want in. When your End Customers are asking for the cloud, it doesn't just mean that you're falling behind; it means your End Customers are getting advice from somewhere else. It may be a friend of theirs, but it could also be a competitor of yours…
2. It's Defensive | This is why it's so vital for your MSP to get on board, and quickly. First mover advantage is a key benefit that gets more and more elusive each day as the competitors in your local area move to the cloud before you do. Furthermore, if you wait any longer, you won't just lose potential business – you'll lose the confidence of your current End Customers too.
To be fair, maybe you do have a cloud solution, but not all your End Customers are on board. You need to bring them on, and quickly – a cloud-first strategy is the only way to transition your End Customers to the cloud before they hear about it from someone else.
3. It Will Make You Money | Our team's considerable experience in the cloud industry has allowed us to precisely value our service for maximum cost-effect, leaving a great margin for you as you bring it to your End Customers.
Furthermore, once you've chosen to sell our Cloud Workspace® solution or create your own solution with our Cloud Workspace® Management Suite software, we won't leave you holding the bag. From pre-developed marketing collateral to ongoing support from our expert engineers, CloudJumper is here to help. We even provide flexible marketing options, with the freedom to use the CloudJumper name, or alternatively, white label and co-branding options.
4. It Integrates With Other Technologies You Deploy | Are you also providing your End Customers with several software applications or other technology solutions? Our cloud solutions will integrate with them, make it easier to deploy them or even help your End Customer realize enough cost savings so the business can afford to deploy it.
So, what are you waiting for?
• Andy Jassy says the market is still ripe to infiltrate.
• CloudJumper knows the cloud and stands ready to help you build your business in the cloud.
• Of course, the business case is there!
Your MSP will make money from the cloud! But, you won't if you don't get going! And, if you need any more convincing that your competition is getting into the cloud, know that our partner base has doubled three years running!

The question of employment status is a vexed area of the law; it
is often far from easy to accurately determine the employment
status of an individual. We will all be familiar with the following
"Employee" | "Self Employed" | "Worker"
The aim of this article is to explore what these different definitions actually mean to businesses and individuals offering services on the Isle of Man.
Statutory Definitions
Section 173(1) of the Isle of Man Employment Act 2006 sets out
the definition of employee and worker as follows:
"Employee" means an individual who has entered into or works under (or where the employment has ceased, worked under) a contract of employment.
"Worker" (except in the phrase "Shop Worker") means an individual who has entered into or works under (or, where the employment has ceased, worked under) –
a) a contract of employment, or
b) any other contract, whether expressed or implied and (if it is expressed) whether oral or in writing, whereby the individual undertakes to do or perform personally any work or services for another party to the contract whose status is not by virtue of the contract that of a client or customer of any profession or business undertaking carried on by the individual,
And any reference to a Worker's contract shall be construed accordingly.
A "contract of employment" is defined within the legislation as being "a contract of service or apprenticeship, whether expressed or implied, and (if it is expressed) whether oral or in writing." This should be distinguished from a contract for services which, while not defined in statute, is taken from the case law to govern the provision of services from one party to another, e.g. a self employed contractor.
Contract v Reality: "Sham" Arrangements
When determining the nature of the relationship enjoyed between
the parties, the Courts will look to establish "what the true
legal relationship is between the parties" (Protectacoat
Firthglow Ltd v Szilagyi [2009] EWCA CIV 98; [2009] IRLR
In the English Court of Appeal case of Autoclenz Limited v Belcher and Others ([2009] EWCA CIV 1046), Lady Justice Smith provided guidance on how Employment Tribunals should address disputes over the genuineness of a written term of a contract. This case arose after a number of individuals, who were contracted to valet cars for Autoclenz, brought an Employment Tribunal action seeking a declaration that they were employees (not self employed contractors as per their contracts), and an order for Autoclenz to pay them the national minimum wage and unpaid holiday pay due and owing. This case revolved around the question of whether the contractual documentation entered into by the parties was a "sham", in place to obscure the true nature of the relationship enjoyed.
The leading decision of Lady Justice Smith offered the following guidance for identifying "sham" employment arrangements:
- The focus of the Tribunal's enquiry must be to discover "the actual legal obligations of the parties". This involves examining all the relevant evidence, including the written terms, evidence of how the parties conducted themselves in practice and what their expectations of each other were.
- In this case, the fact that the day to day practice was one whereby the valetors were expected to turn up for work unless they had given appropriate notice, was evidence of there being a mutuality of obligation. While there was a right of substitution clause within the contract, in reality this was not genuine.
- Lady Justice Smith interestingly noted that individuals should not be estopped from contending that they are employees simply because they have been content to accept the tax benefits of self employed status for many years.
This case is of significance as it highlights that the Tribunal
will not be blindly persuaded by the contract between the parties,
where the day to day reality suggests a different relationship is
in fact enjoyed. The same arguably applies to any third body
commissioned with determining the "real" relationship
enjoyed between two parties to an agreement, be that for the
purposes of establishing employment rights, or for matters
involving income tax or VAT arrangements.
So who is an "Employee" anyway?
A satisfactory definition of "employee" has proved elusive (Harvey on Industrial Relations & Employment Law/Division AI Categories of Worker/1. Categories of Workers/B. Employees/1 Definition). However, over the years, the Courts have attempted to clarify the salient information required to determine an individual's employment status. A well cited authority in this area is the decision of Ready-Mixed Concrete (South East) Limited v the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance ([1968] 2 QB 497). This case determined that the question of whether there is a contract for services in existence should be decided upon the consideration of a number of factors. This "multiple test" established the key tests as being:
1. Whether there is an agreement to provide the servant's
own work or skill in the performance of service for the master
("Personal Service") in return for a wage or remuneration
("Mutuality of Obligation").
2. Whether there is control of the service by the master ("Control").
3. Whether the other provisions in operation are consistent with a contract of service ("Other Factors").
Further case law development has held that in the area of professional services, mutuality of obligation and control are "the irreducible minimum". While a Tribunal will make its final decision on employment status based on all of the facts in a particular case, it is suggested that some factors will be more important than others.
Recent Case Law
1. Is a lap-dancer an employee?
No, said the English Court of Appeal in Stringfellow Restaurants Limited v Quashie ([2012] EWCA CIV 1735).
Miss Quashie was a lap-dancer at Stringfellows. She claimed that she had been unfairly dismissed. The preliminary issue in the case was whether Miss Quashie was an employee of Stringfellows or self employed. The Court of Appeal held that whilst Miss Quashie worked under a contract, and there were mutual obligations of a kind in place when she was actually working, there was no obligation on Stringfellows to pay her anything at all. Miss Quashie negotiated her own fees with the clients. This lead Elias LJ to conclude that "it would, I think, be an unusual case where a contract of service is found to exist where the worker takes the economic risk and is paid exclusively by third parties."
2. Was a minicab driver an employee where, under his contract, he could work as and when he liked?
No, said the UK Employment Appeals Tribunal ("EAT") in Knight v Fairway and Kenwood Car Service (UKEAT/0075/12).
The Claimant worked as a minicab driver. His written terms provided that, as long as he made weekly rental payments and sent appropriate notifications to the company, he was allowed to work as and when he pleased. He paid his own tax and national insurance. He left after a disagreement and claimed damages for wrongful dismissal. The EAT said that it was "likely" that the Claimant was employed either throughout a particular shift or from the beginning to end of an individual job, and that there was an overarching umbrella contract. This umbrella contract was not however considered an employment contract given the absence of mutual obligations.
3. Does an employer have to exercise actual day to day control over an employee for there to be an employment relationship?
No, said the UK EAT in White and Todd v Troutbeck SA ([2013]AU ER (D) 266 (JAN)), as the contractual right to control is sufficient. The Claimants in the case were caretakers/managers of a small estate in Surrey on behalf of "absentee owners", who visited once or twice a year. They were engaged under an agreement which set out various duties and responsibilities; however there were no fixed hours.
The EAT considered that the test from Ready-Mixed Concrete remains the "classic description of a contract of employment", and that it is a multi-factorial test, rather than a control test. The fact that the owners had abdicated themselves of day to day control was not conclusive, and instead the key question was whether there was a contractual right of control.
Employment Status: The Implications for Employees and Employers
- Employers and employees have implied obligations inferred into their contract (e.g. the mutual duty of trust and confidence).
- The right not to be unfairly dismissed and the right to receive a statutory redundancy payment are legal protections only afforded to employees.
- The disciplinary and grievance practice and procedures set out in the Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2007 only apply to employees.
- Employers can be vicariously liable for the acts of employees; this means that the employer is liable for the wrongs committed by an employee where there is a sufficient connection with the employment. It arises even if the employer has committed no wrong.
- Employers owe employees statutory duties relating to health and safety. Self employed contractors may not be covered under these duties although they will be covered under the employer's common law duty of care in respect of occupier's liability.
- An employer is required to take out employer's liability insurance to cover the risk of employees injuring themselves at work.
There exists a considerable volume of case law on this topic and consequently there are no simple rules which determine the employment status of an individual.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Today in 742, the birthdate of Charlemagne, King of the Franks and the Lombards, though some historians insist that the day is correct, but not the year - 743 the antagonist. Crowned as Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III on December 25th 800.
Uncertainty about this date too: Giovanni Casanova, Italian adventurer and lover, born, most likely today, and definitely in 1725. Giovanni Casanova... a splendidly Romantic sounding name, don't you think, perfect for a Byronesque life of ceaseless womanising. In Italian anyway. In English it would translate into the very dull John Newhouse, no good for Byron, no good for Dickens, we can hadly imagine him interesting Jane Eyre or any of the Bennet sisters...
And how would it translate into French? Jean de Nouvelle-Maison might make it work for Victor Hugo - imagine him on the barricades with Jean Valjean, demanding brand-new homes for every working man and woman. And definitely a candidate for one of Emile Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels - Zola was born today in 1840: Emile Edouard Charles Antoine Zola, to give him his full due... but I have mentions of him, and a longer piece about Hugo, elsewhere - click here, and here, and here, and here as well.
Speaking of brigandry and other forms of immoral behaviour, the rape of the Americas was rather more Oldcastle than Newhouse, or Vieja Castilia in the Spanish.
Today, in 1513, Florida was discovered by Juan Ponce de Leon (that man of Casteel, dare I mispronounce him?).
And finally, though it reflects the same epoch of illegal conquest, today in 1982 troops from Argentina stormed Las Malvinas - I am putting it on this date, rather than going for "April 26, 1982: Argentine troops surrendered to the British on the Falkland Islands", because I feel rather more loyalty to Morality than I do to Great Britain... and the truth is, like the Elgin Marbles and Gibraltar and Northern Ireland and a great deal more of the old empire, this should have been handed back to its rightful owners, and with reparations, decades ago, without needing a war to try to achieve it...

Friedrich Benjamin von Lütke
Friedrich Benjamin Graf[2] von Lütke (Russian: Фёдор Петро́вич Ли́тке, Fyodor Petrovich Litke; 28 September [O.S. 17 September] 1797 – 20 August [O.S. 8 August] 1882), more commonly known by his Russian name Fyodor Litke, was a Russian navigator, geographer, and Arctic explorer. He became a count in 1866, and an admiral in 1855. He was a corresponding member (1829), Honorable Member (1855), and President (1864) of the Russian Academy of Science in St. Petersburg. He was also an Honorable Member of many other Russian and foreign scientific establishments, and a corresponding member of the French Academy of Science in Paris.
Friedrich came from the Lütke family (ru) of Brandenburgish origin and originated in Jüterbog. Count Lütke's grandfather was Johann Philipp von Lütke, a German Lutheran preacher and writer on physical science and theology. In 1745, Johann went from Germany to Moscow as pastor of a Lutheran parish in order to spread Lutheranism to Russia and Baltic provinces. As a youth, Friedrich attended a Lutheran German-speaking school. His maternal language was German and he always spoke Russian with a German accent. He remained a practicing Lutheran.
Lütke started his naval career in the Imperial Russian Navy in 1813. He took part in Vasily Golovnin's world cruise on the ship "Kamchatka" from 1817 to 1819, where one of his crewmates was Ferdinand Wrangel.[3] Then from 1821 to 1824, Lütke led the expedition to explore the coastline of Novaya Zemlya, the White Sea, and the eastern parts of the Barents Sea. From August 20, 1826 to August 25, 1829, he headed the world cruise on the ship "Senyavin", sailing from Kronstadt and rounding Cape Horn. At the beginning, he was accompanied from Copenhagen and the Baltic Sea by Capt. Staniukovich who was in command of the sloop Möller. The scientific team included Heinrich von Kittlitz (ornithologist), Karl Heinrich Mertens (botanist) and Alexander Postels (mineralogist).
During this voyage he described the western coastline of the Bering Sea, the Bonin Islands off Japan, and the Carolines, although he discovered only one new island (Eauripik, the expedition is noted for having visited every inhabited island in the Caroline Islands (with the exception of Yap) and for compiling an extensive ethnographic account. In particular, the expedition spent three weeks in the Nomoi Islands, which had been last visited by Pedro Quiros in 1565. The team collected over 8000 plant, animal and mineral samples.[3]
In 1835, Lütke was appointed by Tsar Nicholas I of Russia as tutor of his second son, Grand Duke Constantine Nicholaievich of Russia.
Lütke was the first one to come up with the idea of a recording tide measurer (1839). They were built and installed along the coastlines of the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean in 1841. Lütke was one of the organizers of the Russian Geographical Society and its president in 1845–1850 and 1857–1872. He was appointed Chairman of the Naval Scientific Committee in 1846. Lütke was a commander-in-chief and a military governor of the ports of Reval (today's Tallinn) and later Kronstadt in 1850–1857. In 1855, Litke became a member of the Russian State Council (Государственный совет in Russian; a legislative entity that predated the Duma, which came into existence only in 1906).
In 1873, the Russian Geographical Society introduced the Lütke gold medal. A cape, peninsula, mountain and bay in Novaya Zemlya, as well as a group of islands in Franz Josef Land, Baydaratskaya Bay, and the Nordenskiöld Archipelago and a strait between Kamchatka and Karaginsky Island, as well as two Russian icebreakers were named after him.
Nereocystis luetkeana was named after him by Mertens (first as Fucus luetkeanus) and then described by Postels and Ruprecht.[4]
Lütke's contribution to the geography of Alaska
During his voyage round the world on the Russian corvette Seniavin Lütke arrived at Sitka in 1827. From there he sailed to Unalaska, surveying the Pribilof Islands, St. Matthew Island and the Commander Islands, before arriving to Petropavlovsk, a harbor which he used as a base for further surveys along the Siberian coast all the way to St. Lawrence Bay by the Bering Strait.
After finally returning to Kronstadt Litke published a 3-volume account of his explorations with atlases in Russian and in French, the latter being published in Paris and entitled Voyage autour du monde, : exécuté par ordre de sa majesté l'empereur Nicolas Ier, sur la corvette Le Séniavine, dans les années 1826, 1827, 1828 et 1829, par Frédéric Lutké, ... commandant de l'expédition. Partie historique, avec un atlas, litographié d'après les dessins originaux d'Alexandre Postels et du baron Kittlitz. Traduit du russe sur le manuscrit original, sous les yeux de l'auteur, par le conseiller d'état F. Boyé. Tome I–III. Very few copies were printed and especially the Russian original work with its nautical part became an extremely rare item.
The nautical volume contains hydrographic and geographic details on the then little-known Bering Sea and Alaska obtained not only from Lütke's own work but also from various previously unpublished Russian sources. Even though there were errors and delays in the publication that didn't satisfy the author, Lütke's work is a valuable source of information on the evolution of geographic knowledge of Alaska and the Bering Sea. When W. H. Dall published an index for the book, Lütke's name was given as "Lutke", which reflects the spelling under which the book was published in Paris.[5]
Certain geographic features of the Alaskan coast, like the Walrus and Kritskoi Islands, Kudobin Islands and numerous other features in the Aleutians, were named by Count Lütke in the maps that were subsequently published. The landhead now named Cape Lutke in Alaska was named after this Russian explorer by the Imperial Russian Hydrographic Service in 1847.[6] The Litke Deep is named in his honour.

"Star Wars," Indiana Jones and Marilyn Monroe part of massive Hollywood auction
Hollywoodnews.com: We place a lot of emphasis on modern Hollywood. Which Jonas brother is cutest? Who is Paris Hilton dating? What did Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and the "Twilight" cast eat for lunch yesterday. But it's important that we remember Hollywood's past every now and again.
With that in mind, Profile's In History will be conducting a massive online auction of vintage Hollywood memorabilia, and one of the items on the block is Marilyn Monroe's iconic pink satin gown from the "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" sequence in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." The auction will be held June 10-12.
The gown was worn by the late bombshell in her role of Lorelei Lee. It was later used (or, a replica, at least) by Madonna in her "Material Girl" video. The dress is estimated to sell for between $150,000 and $250,000.
That's not the only item of note in the auction, however. Several "Wizard of Oz" items will be auctioned off, including Margaret Hamilton's infamous, black "Wicked Witch of the West" hat, which is estimated to sell between $100,000 and 150,000.
Also included is an extensive collection of Elvis Presley clothing, jewelry and personal effects, including his stage used guitar he gave to Norman Taurog (who directed Elvis in numerous films); a collection of stop-motion puppets and props from Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas;" "Star Wars" items from Academy Award-nominated producer Gary Kurtz's collection, including Darth Vader's light saber ($60,000 to $80,000), Princess Leia's blaster ($20,000 to $30,000) and Yoda's hero cane ($12,000 to $15,000), all three from "Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi."

Almost every homeowner invests in hand tools and power toolsto fix plumbing issues at home. Having your own set of tools to repair plumbing issues is far better than calling a plumber to fix it. Buy power tools online to make DIY plumbing repair works a lot easier.
Here is a list of 5 essential plumbing power tools to help you carry your day to day plumbing activities.
- Angle drill
Angle drills are used for really tight spaces as compared to the standard sized straight drills. It has a variable speed that offers adjustable torque for a variety of applications. The angle drills are used for pipe installations or threading electrical wires.
In angle drill, the chuck is at the right angle to the body; hence it is able to get into much smaller spaces. A Dewalt Right angled drill is perfect to use for plumbing works. It has dual speed ranges 0-50- RMP and 0-1300 RMP for a variety of applications.
- Auger Bits
When there is a requirement of drilling large holes, an auger bit is mostly used by the plumbers. An auger bit a spiral-shaped drill that is used to drill deep holes. It excels at removing waste material from the hole, therefore it is unlikely to get jammed in the workplace.
The sharp point at the center of their tip ensures that the holes can be drilled with precision and accuracy. It has a flighting which consists of a helical blade which helps in the removal of waste material.
- Electric drill
This is another power tool which is used for making holes in wood, metal, and plastic. Apart from using it to make holes, the metal tip of the electric drill can also be replaced with the screwdriver tip for turning screws around. Drills are available in variable sizes and power capacities. This drill is powerful and easily rechargeable.
- Angle grinder
An angle grinder is a powerful tool which is used for a variety of functions like to make cuts, grind, and polish. It has various attachments which include wire brushes, diamond blades, grinding wheels, and polishing pads.
The angle grinder is used to remove excess material from the object. These angle grinders are powered by electric motors or compressed air. Angle grinders can cut and sharpen materials like pavers, and tile. The result is much cleaner and fast as we get with the use of a hacksaw.
- Sump Pump
A sump pump is usually installed under the ground at your home. It helps is making areas under the building dry and thus prevents the chances of flooding. The electric motor in the sump pump pumps out the extra water and transfer it away from your home to keep it dry all time.
The sumps pumps are available in two types – pedestal and submersible. In pedestal, the motor is placed above the sump, and in submersible; the motor is placed inside the sump.
Having these best quality plumbing power tools in your home toolkit helps you to make the plumbing job a lot easier.

It is Insoluble sulfur.
Insoluble sulfur is amorphous form of sulfur, which is made from the heat-polymerizing of sulfur, also can be obtained by reacting sulfured hydrogen with sulfur dioxide. Insoluble sulfur is macro-molecule polymer, and there are several thousand of sulfur atoms in its molecular chains. Since it doesn't dissolve in carbon disulfide, it is called insoluble sulfur or polymeric sulfur. Currently insoluble sulfur is mainly used in rubber industries.
Insoluble sulfur is an important rubber additive agent. It improves product quality, wear ability and resistance to both fatigue and ageing. In addition to being universally recognized as the best vulcanizing agent, it is widely used in the manufacture of tire, rubber pipe, shoes, cable and wire insulating materials, latex, all kinds of automobile rubber parts and is also a necessary component of belt tires.
Compared with sulfur (rhombic sulfur), insoluble sulfur has following merits:
1. Insoluble sulfur exists in rubber in a dispersive state. It can prevent the booming of rubber, having a better viscosity, and at the same time can ensure the outer appearance of the products with light color.
2. Insoluble sulfur can disperse uniformly in rubber, so it can prevent the conglomeration of sulfur, and reduce the tendency of being scorched during store.
3. Insoluble sulfur can prevent the blooming of rubber during its store. It make it possible to keep rubber's characteristics uniform, overcoming the defects of bad viscosity resulted from blooming, avoiding the pollution of products as well as moulds and cut down the gelatinizing step specially appended for preventing blooming.
4. No migration in adjacent layers of rubber. The migration speed of common sulfur is very high especially in butyl rubber, and with the incorporation of insoluble sulfur, such phenomena can be avoided.
5. Shorten the vulcanization time. When reaching the temperature for vulcanization,insoluble sulfur will go through a stage of activation, that is to say, a chain de-polymerization, which can quicken the vulcanization speed, reducing the amount of sulfur used, improving the aging characteristic of products.
Therefore, due to its non-blooming characteristic, insoluble sulfur is widely used in the manufacture of radial rubber and other synthetic rubber products, also in the light-colored rubber products in which common sulfur is incorporated in high proportion.

How to boost your pelvic floor muscles (without Pilates!)
-Feb 20, Caroline Blight, Health -
They are the muscles which we can't see but do a myriad of important jobs in our bodies. Our pelvic floor muscles are literally a hammock for our internal organs, so it's pretty important we keep them strong – but how?
What are pelvic floor muscles?
These elusive internal muscles are actually a group of sheet-like muscles. They start at your pubic bone at the front of your body to the base of the spine at the back and create a bowl-like structure for your bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum to sit on. But it doesn't stop there, they also work with the abdominal and back muscles to stabilise and support the spine.
When they are weakened through childbirth or the menopause they don't function as they should which can mean you are unable to control your bowel movements properly and you may suffer leakage. The pelvic floor muscles also support sexual pleasure so you may notice a loss in sensation during sex too. But despite these muscles being so important an increasing number of women (and men!) are living with the side effects of a weak pelvic floor.
"The statistics are 1 in 3 women suffering but I believe the actual figure is higher than this," says expert Jane Wake. "A common scenario is that, after childbirth, women initially have issues but they seem to go away so no one's worries too much about it. What I get is women coming to me after exercising the wrong way or years and years later after pregnancy, often when they are either perimenopausal or menopausal, with huge issues."
It's time to break the taboo and talk about health more honestly
With so many women able to benefit from help with improving their pelvic floor it's amazing we hear so little about the issue. "We talk so ridiculously British around the subject!" says Jane. "We can't even say the word vagina without people bursting into fits of embarrassed laughter – we really need to get a grip." Pelvic floor muscle fitness can be affected by several things – not just having a baby – including being overweight, years of straining on the toilet, lifting heavy weights in the gym, ongoing constipation and ageing.
Finding your pelvic floor muscles is key
Many women who wish to improve their pelvic floor situations believe Pilates is the only answer. But while Pilates is certainly proven to be a very effective solution, for a lot of women even finding their pelvic floor muscles in the first place is tricky. "Understanding how to find and feel your pelvic floor, how to lift and relax it is key," says Jane. "It can be very hard and this is the reason why, for many women, exercises don't work. It's also hard to stick to an exercise programme. We all know what that's like with any exercise programme. You've got to be dedicated. I've come up with loads of different ways to help women but they all often need my constant support." Some research suggests that, after being told how to do the relevant exercises, only half of women manage to contract their pelvic floor muscles correctly. A quarter are doing nothing at all and a quarter in the research actually straining downwards, which can make problems worse.
Luckily there are devices available now to help identify which muscles we need to work and give them some initial strength so you can mobilise them during more traditional exercises. Vaginal weights are small tampon-shaped weights, which increase in weight and are inserted into the vagina and kept in place by contracting the pelvic floor. They've been popular in France for years now and are routinely prescribed by doctors for women after childbirth – along with instructions and a schedule for when to use them.
It's also possible to measure the electrical output of the muscles using vaginal probes. You can locate the pelvic floor muscles and activate them from the outside using neuromuscular electrical stimulation too. INNOVO shorts include electrodes on key areas to target the nerves which directly connect to the pelvic floor. "Multi path technology is very specific and well researched to ensure it targets the right muscles," explains Jane. "One of the biggest ways they can help is connection and consistency. It not only makes sure you are doing your pelvic floor exercises correctly but makes it much easier to do it regularly. What's more, once my clients have used it, they find it easier to then contract their pelvic floor on their own. It's also non-invasive and so easy to use."
Supporting your pelvic floor through nutrition
Believe it or not there are ways of supporting your pelvic floor health and strength through nutrition, although these should be used along with, rather than instead of, physical exercise. Magnesium is an important mineral for proper muscle and nerve function, and can also ease incontinent worries, as it reduces bladder muscle spasms and enables the bladder to fully empty upon urination. Magnesium has also been proven to relieve constipation due to its laxative effect; it draws water into the stools, easing any tension, and making them softer and easier to pass helping the pelvic floor as straining can weaken it. If you suffer from incontinence or constipation, then you should ask your medical practitioner if they think you should incorporate magnesium-rich foods into your diet, such as potatoes, bananas, wholegrains, beans and nuts.
Similarly making sure you stay hydrated is important. "Drinking plenty of water will hydrate your body and flush out toxins, keeping your colon intact," says naturopathic nutritionist, Amy Morris from Water for Health. "Dehydration can lead to bowel dysfunction, primarily: constipation, and constipation can play a huge role in contributing to a weakened pelvic floor. You should avoid caffeinated beverages, as they are a diuretic and bladder irritant, and can cause the bladder and any part of the pelvic to become overactive. Bladder irritation can also lead to chronic bladder infections, incontinence, and difficulty urinating, so it's always best to stick to water."
If you drink lots of juice or fruits which are high in citric acid, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit and cranberries, this can cause irritation and worsen bladder control. Opt for fruit and vegetables that are low in acid, such as bananas, avocados, peas and apples, as they will provide the body with vital nutrients including fibre, without causing irritation to the pelvic floor.
Also check you are getting enough vitamin D – a vitamin which is needed through supplementation in the UK winter months – as recent studies have shown that women who have high levels of vitamin D, are less at risk of having a weakened pelvic floor. "Vitamin D affects skeletal muscle strength and function, and insufficiency is linked to poor muscle strength and loss of muscle mass," explains Amy. "Vitamin D has been shown to increase skeletal muscle efficiency at adequate levels, as vitamin receptors are present in our muscles and therefore have a direct effect on our pelvic floor muscles. I recommend taking a vitamin D supplement to ensure your vitamin D levels are in the healthy range, especially during the colder months but it can also be found in foods including oily fish, raw milk and eggs."
Help is out there, it's just we aren't talking about it as much as we should!

Signals, Images, and Data
A large number of signals is collected from a wide variety of physical and biological phenomena, and in a variety of forms, ranging from acoustics, radar, camera images, hyper-spectral images, movies, and many others. These signals are the ones that our own human sensors are used to measuring, and our own brains have evolved to efficiently interpret. Huge data sets of this type are collected daily, from consumer cameras to music studio recordings to satellite images. The large collections of signals need to be analyzed, in order to to order them and to extract useful information. For example, technology companies of all sizes develop and use tools to automatically categorize and recognize objects and faces in images, or in art works; in digital pathology one would like to be able to automatically categorize cell types, or, in neurobiology, cell activity; in applications to agriculture the condition of the crops is monitored by aerial hyper-spectral imaging; in the study of simulations of biological molecules one would like to understand how large molecules move in the high-dimensional space of possible configurations. There are of course many data types that are very different from signals that we are used to hearing and seeing, and require different analysis tools. Examples may include the activity in a social network in time, or a set of transactions in an economic network, or the interactions between gene and proteins through time in a biological network.
Several faculty members in the Duke mathematics department have focused their research on problems related to large-scale processing of signals and data. This includes learning from large collections of signals (sounds, images) and data sets, developing new mathematical tools to explore them, and designing new algorithms to make quantitative assessments and models for large data sets. Ideas from probability, graph theory, harmonic analysis, approximation theory, geometry, topology, computation, among others, all play fundamental roles in these highly interdisciplinary collaborations.

UK Shooting News reader Mary Pearse commented on our interview with NRA chief exec Andrew Mercer and said, "U21s in fulltime education qualify for free membership of the NRA." – really? I don't see this on the NRA website link to 'Membership rates'".
Indeed, it's not highlighted on the NRA website. Happily, UKSN is able to provide cast-iron confirmation that under-21s qualify for up to three years' free membership of the NRA.
The main reference is on page 12 of the 2014 Bisley Bible, as reproduced in a screenshot below:
Just to be sure, Chris Green, an LMRA member who is also a coach of Brunel University TSC, contacted the NRA membership department directly while helping young members of Brunel apply for that membership. After some sterling work by Nick Halford from the membership department, Green received the following email which he passed to UKSN:
Subsequent emails confirmed that the "joining fee" is not applicable to U21s applying for free membership under these terms. The membership lasts until the year that the young shooter turns 21.
So there you have it. Do note that this information was current as of February, and a lot can happen in a month. The 2014 membership rates have also increased, though UKSN has no idea whether this offer will still be in the latest edition of the Bisley bible. Incidentally, the latest edition is due for release very soon…
Chris Green gets in touch to point us to some very important documents – namely, the NRA membership application form and also the sponsor form, a very important part of the U21 application. He says: "Applicants will need to fill out the attached forms [below] and the committee of each club will need to send off the HOA form to confirm that applicants are members. Please spread this around to any other Universities and youth organisations you know of."
You will need all of the forms listed below. UKSN strongly advises you use an antivirus scanner before opening these; they were clean on upload but ultimate responsibility is left to the person downloading them.
If you have any questions, contact the NRA Membership Department in the first instance.
