Job Satisfaction and Quit Intentions of Offshore Workers in the UK North Sea Oil and Gas Industry
AbstractThe North Sea oil and gas industry currently faces recruitment and retention difficulties due to a shortage of skilled workers. The vital contribution of this sector to the U.K. economy means it is crucial for companies to focus on retaining existing employees. One means of doing this is to improve the job satisfaction of workers. In this paper, we investigate the determinants of job satisfaction and intentions to quit within the U.K. North Sea oil and gas industry. We analyse the effect of personal and workplace characteristics on the job satisfaction and quit intentions of offshore employees. The data used were collected using a self-completed questionnaire. Job satisfaction was analysed using an ordinal probit model and quit intentions were analysed using a binary probit model. 321 respondents completed the questionnaire. We find that respondents in good financial situations, those whose skills are closely related to their job, and those who received training reported higher levels of job satisfaction. Furthermore, we establish the importance of job satisfaction, promotion prospects and training opportunities in determining workers' intentions to quit the offshore oil and gas sector. To encourage better retention, companies should seek to adopt policies that focus not only on pay but also provide promotion and training opportunities aimed at investing in their employees' skills development.

Watch above: An animal rights group is taking aim at a Quebec veal farm, releasing what it says is a hidden camera video from inside the barns. Christina Stevens reports.
MONTREAL – Animal rights campaigners are calling for changes after a secret recording that seemed to show cruel treatment of baby calves on a Quebec veal farm was released.
The hidden-camera video of workers kicking, punching, and beating baby calves was secretly recorded at one of the largest veal producers in North America.
Released by the animal protection organization Mercy For Animals Canada, the video from Délimax Veal-affiliated factory farm in Pont-Rouge, Quebec, appears to show baby calves chained by the neck and locked inside narrow crates so small they can't walk, turn around, or lie down comfortably.
It also seemed to show workers tormenting animals and calves suffering from open wounds.
Watch the video here [Warning: graphic content]
A criminal animal cruelty investigation is underway and Mercy for Animals are calling for improved treatment for baby calves.

Toronto vs Atlanta - These Aren't Your Grand Daddy's Thrashers

If we were to go back in time to 2008 let's say and I asked you to name players on the Atlanta Thrashers, you'd probably have a hard time naming players after you rattled off Ilya Kovalchuk and Colby Armstrong. The fact is, they were essentially the Atlanta Kovalchuks.

Almost thirty years ago, the Chicago Black Hawks (two words in those days) were ready to face-off against the about-to-explode Edmonton Oilers in the Campbell Conference Championship Series. The Hawks finished the season with 104 points. The Oilers had 106. Yappy Glen Sather behind the Oilers' bench. Portly Orval Tessier guiding the Hawks. After the first two games of that series, played in Edmonton, the Hawks were down two games-to-none and had been outscored 16-6. And that's when Orval Tessier said it.

Leafs vs Canucks - Check out Dion. He's gonna do something.
December 18 2010 03:05PM
Hey there.....are you guys brothers?
Tonight is a showdown between the team that Burke built and the team he's building. One of these was given a strong base upon which to stand in the Sedin twins; the other was hastily setup on the backs of overpaid defensemen. When push comes to shove, which is going to be the one to topple on the last night of West Coast Waffle Week?
A win for Vancouver tonight gives them 40 points and 2nd place in the Western Conference, whereas a win for Toronto gives them 30 points and a share of 11th in the East. Not exactly David and Goliath matchup, but not too far off. Much like Washington, the Canucks find themselves with loads of regular season success but none to be found in the playoffs. Maybe that has to do with the sharp fall off in talent found between their top 6 and bottom 6 forwards. Sure the Sedins are league killers and Ryan Kesler plays a mean two way game, but their 3rd and 4th lines sport such stalwarts as Raffi Torres, Aaron Volpotti, and Jannik Hansen. Yeah, I've never heard of those last two guys either. While difficult on the road, if Wilson can get our 1st or 2nd lines out against Vancouver's 3rd or 4th, some opportunistic goals can be had.

Piper Brett: Poolside
Allison Lacher: Nonnative
Exhibition dates: July 18-September 12, 2014
Exhibition opening reception: Friday, July 18, 6pm-9pm.
CUAC hours: w-f 12-7pm, sat 12-4pm.
Media Contact: Nancy Stoaks 385-215-6768 email@example.com
CUAC is pleased to present solo exhibitions by two conceptual sculptors, Piper Brett, based in Philadelphia, PA, and Allison Lacher, based in Springfield, IL. Both have exhibited extensively around the United States and are recipients of multiple awards and fellowships.
Piper Brett presents Poolside, an installation of "painting", sculpture, and a cell phone photo taken of a former porn star at a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Most items in Poolside originated in the urban landscape of North Philadelphia and detail a non-linear narrative and random aspects of Brett's life, associations, and memories. Sculptural materials include a stick, a gold shopping cart hanging from the ceiling, a basketball with a handle, as well as a faux stone replica of the Maneken Pis fountain, famous in Belgium. Brett has also covered the gallery floor with a painting of water. Her installation anesthetizes backyard pool parties and the urban/suburban experience.
Allison Lacher's Nonnative relies on the impetus behind an oft-generalized, catch-all cultural romance with the American West that spawns from landscape, climate, rich opportunity, and remaining lures that exist in our minds. Exotic Saguaro cacti, vaguely figurative and despite a dominant presence and large scale, seemingly greet affectionately with open arms and playfully disarm through earnest glimmer. The installation environment courts the audacity of optimism that spawns the pursuit of dreams and reinvention through forging ahead into unknown territory, while subtly acknowledging a looming naiveté. This exhibition is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
CUAC thanks our sponsors for these exhibitions: 3form, Big O Tires, and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

Every year, the Irish Tourist Board chooses a special theme to promote the many plusses of this stunning country. One year, the focus was on spas, spa treatments, and places that offered spa packages. Last year it was "The Gathering," and this year, the emphasis is on "The Wild Atlantic Way," a recommended driving route that skims along the glorious Western seaboard for 1,600 miles from the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal to Kinsale in Co. Cork. Read more
Ireland has changed a lot in the past 30 years. Much of that change is probably thanks to – or the fault of – the internet, depending on your perspective. But, changes can also be credited to the country's many visitors who demand the best, to the Irish who travel widely and bring home creative ideas from everywhere, and to the influx of foreigners living in Ireland.
Frequent travelers will note the many changes, subtle and otherwise.

Temple House in Ballymote, Co. Sligo, has been in the same family since 1665 and welcomes visitors to experience life in an elegant Irish estate.
Shouldn't your vacation in Ireland be a complete escape from everyday life? You've saved all year for this outing, so do something totally different and create some amazing memories.
A great place to start is with a unique and extraordinary place to stay, dine, and meet other international travelers. You could hardly do better than to select one of the 36 historic country estates included in an accommodation group called Hidden Ireland (hiddenireland.com). These are all private and historic family homes where the owners welcome and interact with guests and sometimes even head for the kitchen to don aprons and cook breakfast or dinner.
I have stayed at a number of Hidden Ireland properties over the years and can recommend all of them without reservation. I've enjoyed The Quay House in Co. Galway, Bruckless House in Co. Donegal, Clonalis in Co. Roscommon, and Ashley Park House in Co. Tipperary. Each one is unique, reflects the style, heritage, and flair of the family, and is absolutely delightful. Read more
Renvyle House Hotel in Connemara.

Special to the BIR
Elegant but comfortable, formal but relaxed, a place for the famous but also for the average Joe (and Joanne) – lovely Renvyle House Hotel in Connemara is all these things and more.
Even if the accommodations were dreadful – which they most certainly are not – the location alone is well worth the price of admission. Perched at the ocean's edge, this grand dame of the Renvyle Peninsula has a storied history and is a perfect choice for singles (no single supplement), couples, or families. Read more

Going green doesn't necessarily mean going to the Emerald Isle but it could.
There is much focus in Ireland today on visitors enjoying their stay without adding to the carbon footprint. Where bus tours and car travel were once the only way to see the countryside, many tourists today choose walking, cycling, and equestrian vacations.
There are, of course, many who still prefer having a car because, after all, it's difficult to fit all those wonderful Irish craft shop purchases into a bicycle saddlebag or your backpack if you're walking. And, there are some travelers who need to get where they're going faster than they could on foot or by bike or they, like me, might be toting cameras with multiple lenses that are better accommodated in a car.

Fishing boats docked in colorful Killybegs Harbor in Co. Donegal.BY JUDY ENRIGHT
A new year has dawned, bringing with it the potential for many new adventures for us all – hopefully they'll be pleasant, fun, and memorable adventures. We like to start the year by mentioning some of our favorites with the thought that readers might find them enjoyable, too, when visiting Ireland. FAVORITES
• Ireland has amazing ancient churches, friaries, and ruins where you can spend hours reading inscriptions on tombstones and admiring detailed carving, architecture, and Celtic crosses.
In Co. Offaly, the Clonmacnoise monastic settlement, founded by St. Ciaran in 548, is awe-inspiring and well worth visiting. There, on the eastern bank of the Shannon, you can see the ruins of a cathedral, seven churches (10th-13th century), two round towers, three high crosses, and the largest collection of Early Christian graveslabs in Western Europe.
In 2016, another historic site, Ballintubber Abbey in Co. Mayo, will celebrate the 800th anniversary of its founding by King Cathal O'Conor. Ballintubber is the only church in Ireland founded by an Irish king that is still in daily use. Mass has been said there every day since 1216.
Ross Errilly Friary in Co. Galway, founded in 1351, is said to be the most extensive and best preserved of all the Franciscan friaries in Ireland and, even though it's a ruin, it is still beautiful and worth a look.
In Co. Clare, the Kilfenora Cathedral sited next to The Burren Centre is another interesting ruin. The cathedral, with five high crosses, was built around 1190 on the site of an earlier monastery, and is dedicated to St. Fachtnan. Read more
It would probably be fair to call me a stalker – in the nicest sense of the word, of course.
This feral goat is currently in captivity being treated for injuries. Doesn't he look like he's smiling?
For at least a decade, I have stalked Old Irish Goats all around Mulranny, Co. Mayo. I desperately wanted to photograph them with their shaggy, unruly coats and huge, almost other-worldly horns.
Friends had advised me to drive the curvy Belmullet road. "The goats are always there on the hillside," they said. Yet, no goats, no matter how many times I drove the route.
"They are always in the town (Mulranny)," friends said. I had never seen them there until one evening when we went to dinner at the Park Hotel and the most magnificent, regal Billy Goat, sporting a long, grey beard, was there, busily snacking on the hotel's specimen plantings. Of course, I didn't have my camera! Read more

Radiohead's Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief Get Deluxe Reissue Treatment
B-sides, videos, live performances galore!
By Tom Breihan on June 19, 2009 at 4:35 p.m. EDT
Capitol isn't done with Radiohead yet! Thom Yorke and co. may no longer have any ties to their old label, but Capitol has the band's entire pre-In Rainbows catalog at its disposal. And if there's still money to be made off of these old Radiohead records, best believe Capitol is going to make it.
Last year, the label released a Radiohead greatest-hits collection without the blessing of the band. We hated it. But this past March, the label released expanded double- and triple-disc versions of their first three albums, and we loved it.
See, there's a difference between good reissues and bad reissues. The full-album reissues are the good kind. With those first three albums, Capitol crammed in every B-side and rarity they could find, and in doing so they actually managed to flesh out those classic titles (and one not-so-classic title) even further. And, of course, the albums themselves are still great. We dropped 10.0s on the expanded versions of both The Bends and OK Computer, and we're probably not done handing out rave reviews yet.
On August 25, Capitol will complete their expanded reissue project with the next three Radiohead albums: 2000's Kid A, 2001's Amnesiac, and 2003's Hail to the Thief. Once again, these reissues come stuffed to the gills with B-sides, live songs, studio sessions, and everything else that didn't make it onto the actual albums. And the even-more-deluxe Special Collectors Editions will also come with DVDs, which will include music videos and TV performances.
Every Radiohead album after Pablo Honey is arguably a masterpiece; even Hail to the Thief has its staunch defenders. So we are eagerly awaiting these reissues, whether the band is happy about them or not, unfortunately.
The complete breakdown of this batch of reissues is below.
Kid A (Collectors Edition)
CD1 (original album):
01 Everything in Its Right Place
02 Kid A
03 The National Anthem
04 How to Disappear Completely
05 Treefingers
06 Optimistic

 War of 1812
There is a pause in activities for the next short while. Next will be an attack
on Fort Erie as an attempt is made to move the Americans back across the river.

WW1
 Yesterday 4 Aug 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of World War 1.
The German Army moved to attack Belgium and the British requested they stop,
which they did not, so Britain declared War. Canada, due to the current situation,
was involved.

NOTE; The 100th Regiment did not participate in this battle.

"Perhaps the best assessment of Lundy's Lane and one that applies
 equally to the men of both armies, was Brown's [Major General
 Jacob Jennings, U.S. Army] statement that 'the battle of the 25th,
 it is believed, will find but few parallels. More desperate fighting
 has rarely been known. I hope the nation [US] will be satisfied
 by our conduct - we have endeavoured to do our duty' "
The above quote is from page 210, the end of the chapterJim Stanzellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285836217854683928.post-57948046001878138122014-07-25T03:38:00.000-07:002014-07-25T03:38:36.017-07:00War of 181225 July 1814 Battle of Lundy's Lane
Ref; 'Where Right and Glory Lead' by Donald E. Graves
'is the story on one of the most hard-fought military actions
in North American history. On a summer evening in July 1814,
within sight of Niagara Falls, 5,000 American, British and
Canadian soldiers struggled desperately in a close-range
battle that raged on into the dark. By morning more than a third
had become casualties. The two armies had fought to the point of
exhaustion, and who won has long been a matter of dispute.
 Lundy's Lane was the bloodiest battle of the War of 1812
and the bloodiest fought on what is now Canadian soil. It was the
high mark of the 1814 Niagara campaign, which was the longest
campaign of the war and the last time that Canada suffered a
major foreign invasion.
 In his analysis of this still-controversial battle. the author
narrates the background and events in precise detail while
providing a thorough examination of the weaponry, tactics
and personalities of the opposing armies. The result is possibly
the most thorough analysis of a musket-period action to appear in print
and will appeal to those interested in the War of 1812, Napoleonic
warfare - and the face of combat.' [Quoted from outside back cover]
This book details a play by play account of the Battle of Lundy's Lane
and I recommend this as a must read, re War of 1812
The Battle is covered from page 107 to 194
Aftermath page 195 to 256 which deals with the rest of the war.

Ref; Red Coats and Grey Jackets
 The Battle of Chippawa, 5 July 1814 by Donald E. Graves

"On the banks of the Niagara River, a few miles south of the great falls, a battle
 took place on 5 July 1814. For more than three hours on a hot summer afternoon,
 Four thousand American, British, and Canadian soldiers, as well as native warriors
 from many nations, fought in the fields and woods surrounding Canadian
 Samuel Street's prosperous farm.
 When the fighting had ended, more than seven hundred lay dead or wounded.
 Red Coats and Grey Jackets is the story of this battle and the men who fought it"

This is a story about one of the Regiments on the British side who fought in this battle.
The 100th Regiment who in 1818 would settle in Goulbourn Twp. today part of, Ottawa, ON
 the capital of Canada. I am attending the 200th anniversary celebrations of this battle
 this weekend so will make another post next week after returning home.Jim Stanzellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285836217854683928.post-12669523145406580782014-06-28T11:05:00.001-07:002014-06-28T11:05:44.416-07:00World War 128 June 1914

So today is the day it all started!
Ref: To-days Ottawa Citizen, 28 June 2014 pg. C3
"On 28 June 1914, Radical Bosnian Serb, Gavrilo Princip, fired the shots that killed
 Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo." [The spark which led to war]
An accompanying article starts on page C1

Ref; Legion Magazine July/August 2014 pages 5 and 9 and
 Major feature pages 22 to 30, by Donald E. Graves.
These three articles, especially the feature article, are very important in understanding the events which led to the beginning of the war.
Note. The Legion Magazine should be available at all bookstores and will no doubt

There is not too much activity so I am adding info on a few battles during 1813

Strange Fatality by James Elliott
 - Battle of Stoney Creek 6 July 1813
 Ref; Outside Back cover of the book.
6,000 US Troops aboard 140 vessels stormed ashore near the mouth of the Niagara River and
captured Ft. George from the British. The badly mauled British Army reeled westward. The
fate of Upper Canada hung in the balance.
 Ten days later, in a field near the hamlet of Stoney Creek, the British attacked in a night action
bayonet charge that carried the American Artillery and decapitated the invading Army.
 Stoney Creek was one of the most decisive reversals of military fortune in the War of 1812

This book, as is common with the others, lists details of the battle in a number of Appendices.
 An example is; British order of Battle and Strength.
 49th Reg't. 8 Companies, 424 men
 8th Reg't 5 Companies, 280 men
 Also mentioned are companies of Local Militia and Native allies
Casualties of both sides are also mentioned in Appendix G and H.

Field of Glory by Donald E. Graves
11 November 1813
 Ref; Outside Back Cover

 In the autumn of 1813, the United States staged the largest military operation of the War of 1812.
Two American armies, one marching north from Lake Champlain throush swamp and forest, the other sailing down the St. Lawrence in a flotilla of three hundred small boats, invaded Canada.
Their objective was the city of Montreal.
This book is the story of this massive offensive and the two Battles,
Chateauguay and Crysler's Farm, that decided the outcome.
Field of Glory is a fascinating panorama of one of the most dramatic periods in
North American History
Appendix A through I are listed. Many soldiers names are mentioned.
Appendix G. The Crysler's Farm and Chateauguay Medals and recipients.
Appendix F. Order of Battle and Strength
49th Reg't 8 companies, 304 men and Grenadier and Light Co's 39 men each
89th Reg't, 5 companies 240 men.
And a few others [pg 362]
Also of interest is mention of Major George Thew Burke pg 367 [also with clasp, Egypt]
who played a very important roll in the 100th/99th Regiments that settled in Richmond/Goulbourn Twp in 1818+Jim Stanzellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285836217854683928.post-57156146070505331582014-03-31T12:00:00.000-07:002014-03-31T12:00:00.673-07:00War of 18121 April 2014

First. 'The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier' by Jakob Walter, 1788-1864 ISBN 0 14 01.6559 2, Paperback A fascinating and important historical document - The only known memoir of a common soldier in Napoleon's Army. "Eighteen year old German stonemason Jakob Walter served in the Grand Army of Napoleon between 1806 and 1813. His diary intimately records his trials: the long grueling marches in Prussia and Poland, the disastrous Russian compaign and the demoralizing defeat in a war few supported or understood" The family story of Joseph parallels the details of this diary but I have not been able to prove any facts. Joseph was a member of the 60th Regiment when he came to Canada in 1818 Second. 'For King and Canada' by A. Barry Roberts ISBN 1-55036-683-1 The story of the 100th Regiment of Foot during the War of 1812 NOTE: The 100th was renumbered the 99th Reg't. in Feb 1816. "Described by a Montreal poster of 1813 as 'The Prince Regent's Own Irish Heroes' for their exploits against the American invaders in the War of 1812. In this first detailed account of the Regiments history we follow the progress of young Irishmen volunteering for service in Canada until many of them elected to become Redcoat soldier-settlers in Goulbourn Twp, now part of the City of Ottawa" Andrew was a member of the 100th/99th Regiment. Both Joseph and Andrew would eventually settle in Goulbourn Township Jim Stanzellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285836217854683928.post-42073856824981094112012-11-18T07:55:00.001-08:002012-11-18T07:56:34.173-08:00War of 1812Five months on

It was formerly owned by Mr Ford in the early 1940 an during the WWII years. He wrote to me about 1986 that he loved Valorian and kept track of her whereabouts over the years. I was supposed to meet him only to arrive on City Island to find that he had been killed by a hit and run driver in front of his house just weeks before. Like you say "a fly on the wall", there are a million questions I would have liked to ask him. Do you know much about your grandfather's friendship and business dealings with Gerry Ford? Mystic Seaport Museum has a GW Ford collection of documents and photos, but I was told the collection is unsorted in boxes and the museum has no plans to organize and make them available anytime soon. I imagine there would be a lot there that would interest you and myself. Nyala was kept by Ford up until his death. He was in the process of selling her to someone Maine, who then owned her and wrote a book which I have. Forget the author's name off-hand.

I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!

Historically, however, things do gradually change for the better. One tiny local example of this was when, in 2004, the law in Britain was changed so that people were no longer permitted to set dogs onto deer, hares and foxes etc so that these animals could be literally torn apart. Those activities were in a similar league to cock fighting and dog fighting and no one would seek to justify bringing those back – or wouldn't they in a world where people still go to cheer watching bulls being tortured to death.
