The service provides professional counselling to individual students free of charge.
It's good to talk
Life at university can be both exciting and challenging. Although you may find your way through the stresses of academic life without seeking professional support, you may also encounter issues you had not anticipated which add to the stress and make it more difficult to realise your full potential.
The Counselling Service is free to any current registered student of UCA.
Please note, students at Maidstone Studios can access support through Rochester, and RSN students can access support through either Epsom or Farnham depending on availability
Our counsellors are qualified and experienced professionals who are here to listen and offer you support. We can be contacted directly via email, or through the Gateway in the Library on each campus. Access to the service varies in order to best meet the needs of each campus.
Sometimes it is appropriate to refer students to other sources for specialist help, either internally (for example welfare or disability support) or outside agencies (such as your doctor).
For more information on how the Counselling Service can help, please read our information sheet.
To book an appointment please read the Counselling Information Sheet and complete the Counselling Request form.
We are not a crisis service. This means we are unable to offer immediate support any time it is needed. If you are in need of more immediate emotional support, you may wish to consider contacting the Samaritans or Nightline
If you need more immediate support, we suggest contacting your GP or calling 111, or in an emergency calling 999 or presenting to your nearest A&E.

Vesko Eschkenazy
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012)
Vesko Eschkenazy (born 1970) is a Bulgarian violinist. He serves as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's concertmaster.[1]
Born in Bulgaria in 1970 into a family of musicians, still a child, Vesko appeared as an orchestra leader. At 11 years old he became concertmaster of the youth Philharmonic Orchestra of Prof. Vladi Simeonov. He is a graduate of the L. Pipkov National Music School in Sofia and of the P. Vladiguerov State Music Academy where he studied violin with Angelina Atanassova and Prof. Petar Hristoskov.
In 1990, Vesko Eschkenazy left Bulgaria for London and completed a two year Masters Degree for solo performers with Prof. Ifrah Neaman at the Guildhall School of Music, and received a Solo Recital Diploma – 1992. He is a laureate of the International Violin Competitions "Wieniawski", Beijing and Carl Flesch in London. He performs extensively in Europe, USA, South America, India, China and takes part in the festivals Midem in Cannes, Montpellier and Atlantic – France, the Music Festivals in Nantes and Rheims, the New Year Music Festival in Sofia, Varna Summer and Apolonia.
Vesko Eschkenazy has performed as soloist with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Monte Carlo Philharmonic, Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, Mexico City Symphony, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Prague Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, Bach Chamber Orchestra – Berlin to name a few. He has taken part in concerts alongside Montserrat Caballe, Plácido Domingo, Alexis Weissenberg, Yuri Bashmet, and Mstislav Rostropovich and has played under the direction of Mariss Jansons, Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Chailly, Kurt Masur, Sir Colin Davis, Carlo-Maria Giulini, Seiji Ozawa, and Emil Tchakarov.
Since the summer of 2000 Vesko Eschkenazy has been playing a Guarneri del Gesu violin from 1738, the property of an anonymous sponsor in The Netherlands.[2]
"Vesko Eschkenazy is a brilliant violinist" – remarks the De Telegraaf in November 2000, one of the largest dailies in the Kingdom of Netherlands, after his interpretation of the Violin Concerto No. 1 by Szymanowski with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. Eschkenazy has been its concertmaster since the beginning of the 1999/2000 season.
Each concert season is extremely full of engagements for Vesko Eschkenazy; some of his most outstanding performances were that of Mozart's Violin Concerto in A Major under Mariss Jansons, and the Dvořák Violin Concerto under Sir Colin Davis and coming up in November 2008 performances of the Barber Violin Concerto conducted by Jaap van Zweden, all with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In April–May 2009 Eschkenazy performed extensively with his brother, the conductor Martin Panteleev, with whom he performed the Dvořák Violin Concerto with Orkest van het Oosten, Mozart's A Major Concerto No. 5 with the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra and many other woks. The two brothers accomplished a tour to Sofia and Istanbul with the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra in the same time.
Vesko Eschkenazy records for Pentatone, his recording with the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra of violin concertos by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Schubert received high appraisal from critics. On this occasion the Luister Magazine, Holland remarks: "Vesko Eschkenazy writes history with his new super recording for the Pentatone Classics of the violin concertos by Mozart and Mendelssohn". Michael Libovits (USA's Classics Today), wrote: "he tackles Mozart with brilliance; Schubert with a stable phrasing … his warm, well rounded tone competes with any other recording of a famous violinist …"
In 1995 Vesko Eschkenazy joined the pianist Ludmil Angelov to perform sonata duos. They have given a large number of concerts in Europe, exceptionally successful and warmly accepted were those by the Spanish audiences (in the cities of Gijon, Toledo and Madrid). This was a project of the Vesko Eschkenazy – Ludmil Angelov Duo presenting, in four successive evening cycles, the complete Mozart sonatas for violin and piano. Their joint Russian Music CD has been released by the Gega New Music House. Their second album, "The Fascinating George Gershwin", has been released by Pentatone. In October 2007 the musicians performed a recital in a sold-out "Bulgaria Hall" in Sofia, broadcast live by Bulgarian national television.
The 2010/2011 season Vesko started with open air performance in the very centre of Sofia with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra gathering the largest audience for classical concert ever. In the same season he will be artist in residence in the Bulgaria Hall in Sofia with 4 recitals and performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto in G minor with the Sofia Philharmonic. The same work he will perform with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Kurt Masur in the 2011/2012 season. His last performances with Eduard Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole with RCO in Amsterdam and in Cape Town and Sofia in 2013/2014 were memorable. His new all Bach CD with the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra is out on Pentatone.

Destination Europe: Events
'Destination Europe' Conference
20 January 2012
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Europe has a vibrant and exciting science and technology culture and offers many excellent and generous career and funding opportunities for researchers and innovators, no matter where they come from in the world. When we look at the picture of all of the opportunities available, both at national and European level, including the attractive opportunities for women researchers, it is truly impressive.
This Conference focused on the excellent funding opportunities that Europe provides for career development; and the challenging positions in world-class environments offered by European industry and research organisations. Presentations by speakers representing some of the major funding organizations and research intensive industries in Europe have been illustrated by testimonials from researchers who have taken advantage of the opportunities offered to develop their careers in Europe
The Conference was the first of a series of events planned for the USA and has been organised by the European Commission and the European Research Council, in consultation with EU Member States and the Strategic Forum for International Cooperation (SFIC).
Europe is serious in its ambition to attract new talent to complement and catalyse the talent that we already have. This conference demonstrated that:
- Europe has a vibrant and attractive science, technology and innovation culture;
- Europe provides opportunities for career development and advancement;
- Europe's industry and research organisations offer challenging opportunities to work in world-class environments;
- Europe offers attractive opportunities for women researchers.
The conference brought together 250 people: researchers currently based in the USA; opinion leaders and representatives from leading US universities; multipliers from the EU networks working in the USA; representatives of the science diplomacy community and the media.
Participants were encouraged to ask questions, network and take this unique opportunity to discuss with people who have chosen to work in Europe, to learn from their experience.
The conference was structured in three plenary sessions:
- Session 1: Europe: A vibrant place for frontier science
Focus: An overview of the richness of the European scientific landscape and culture; the political commitment to investment in research and innovation; and the reasons to consider working in Europe.
- Session 2 : Europe: Fertile soil for innovation
Focus: Opportunities for technology ventures and start-up firms, academia-industry cooperation
- Session 3 : Europe: Career opportunities
Focus: Job opportunities; career development: grant schemes; mobility programmes; fellowships
The keynote address was delivered by Commissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn.

Chris Brown Suffers Seizure, Status Unknown
Chris Brown reportedly suffered a seizure earlier this morning.
Details beyond that basic news are unknown at this time.
Chris Brown reportedly suffered a seizure earlier this morning.
Details beyond that basic news are unknown at this time.
Chris Brown and Rihanna are clearly infatuated with one another, but also seem to be toxic when they're actually together. It's a vicious cycle.
Clearly, emotion isn't enough to keep them together. In fact, it may be the reason why these on-off lovers cannot seem to make a romance work.
Chris Brown is talking retirement at the age of 24, and it all boils down to fame and how he believes he's being treated by the media and public at large.
"Don't worry mainstream America," the R&B singer Tweeted.
Rihanna is back home after two months of touring Europe, but it's not likely you'll see her reunite with Chris Brown upon her return to the United States.
In fact, insiders say she's learned her lesson - for good - about their toxic romance.
The girl who alleged that Chris Brown assaulted her at a club is suing him.
Despite earlier claims that she's not out for money ... she totally is.
The always-quotable Rihanna posted a cryptic message on her Instagram account yesterday that many think is a dig at ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Chris Brown pleaded not guilty to hit-and-run charges this morning, stemming from the accident two months ago that got his probation revoked.
Chris Brown and Drake are both off the hook for the brawl they started last summer, meaning they now have more in common than just seeing Rihanna naked.

TUESDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- As many as one in five siblings of children with autism may have subtler problems with language and speech, according to new research involving nearly 3,000 children.
What isn't yet clear is if these problems indicate a milder form of an autism spectrum disorder, or exactly what type of intervention, if any, might be needed to help these youngsters.
"Smaller studies have reported that in families with children with autism, many children who don't have an autism diagnosis have had a language delay," said the study's lead author, Dr. John Constantino, professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. "When we looked at this huge sample, we saw the same thing -- about 20 percent of children presumed to be non-autistic had language delays and autistic qualities in their speech. In the general population, the prevalence of these traits is only about 7 percent," he said.
Results of the study were published in the November issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Although many siblings of children with autism are completely unaffected by the disorder, the disorder is far more likely to strike the brother or sister of someone with autism than someone without an affected sibling. In fact, the risk of a sibling of someone with autism having the disorder is 22-fold higher, according to background information in the article.
What the current study sought to further tease out was whether or not certain autistic traits -- conditions that might not trigger a diagnosis of autism, but nonetheless could still cause problems -- might be more prevalent in siblings of children with an autism diagnosis.
The researchers used data from an American, Internet-based family register compiled by the Interactive Autism Network, which includes more than 35,000 participants. In

The San Francisco Bay is a special place. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's special. I had a friend and college shoot me an email about trying to get out of a photographic funk and coming back off a hiatus. He was specifically asking me for ideas regarding motivation. "where do you go when you need to be inspired?" he asked me. The list of places which would qualify for me is long indeed, and the geography that list would cover is vast. But living where we do, there's no place like SF to provide endless possibilities.
Whether your preference is photographing people, architecture, landscapes, icons of the globe, or a study on what happens when man and nature meet, there is no place like it.
I have traveled to this spot at least 7 times attempting to catch fog like this, each time the fog being too high with zero visibility. Last week, on my birthday, I finally was able to witness this event first hand. If you've never stood in the Marin Headlands and looked out towards San Francisco swallowed up in an ocean of fog… well, I don't know what to tell you besides you're missing out.

Egypt protests create historic turning point for Mideast and Arab neighbors
Read a current article about Egypt's situation. Does it give clear context and background about why this is front-page news?
Look for comments from local or state residents connected to Egypt through family, work or school.
See if the paper's website has multimedia content on this developing story, such as a slide show or video links.
Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters have gathered in central Cairo, the capital of Egypt, for almost a week. The dramatic revolt against President Hosni Mubarak, who is 82 years old and has held power 30 years, pushed him to name a new vice-president and prime minister. But the daily marches and military response continue, killing dozens and injuring hundreds.
Students and other young protesters kick-started the revolt Jan. 25, then were joined by Egyptians of all ages who blame Mubarak for economic hardship and lack of personal liberties. Crowds demand that the president -- whose name is pronounced hoss-knee moob-are-ack -- leave the country of 79 million people.
Mubarak cut off Internet and wireless service late last week, fearing that Facebook, Twitter, laptops and smart phones help opponents organize against him and expose his weakness to the world --as happened in nearby Tunisia, where similar street demonstrations changed the government Jan. 14 and sent the president of 23 years into exile.
President Mubarak says: "These demonstrations shouldn't have happened, because of the big advances in freedom that were given. . . . I assure you that I'm working for the people and giving freedoms of opinions, as long as we are respecting the law." -- Jan. 28 televised address
President Obama says: "This moment of volatility has to be turned into a moment of promise. . . . What's needed right now are concrete steps that advance the rights of the Egyptian people: a meaningful dialogue between the government and its citizens, and a path of political change that leads to a future of greater freedom and greater opportunity and justice for the Egyptian people." -- Jan. 28 at White House
Arab writer says: "It's the most exciting time of my life. " -- Mona Eltahawy, Jan. 29 in The Guardian, a London newspaper

Once the start date is scheduled and confirmed, we deliver all materials on that start date, ensuring nothing sits on your property for weeks waiting for a crew to arrive.Learn more
We take all necessary precautions to keep the jobsite safe not only for our employees but also for residents and visitors.Learn more
Removing Old Roofing Material
One of the biggest advantages of an IB Roof System is that it can be installed over your existing roof. However, if for any reason your roof requires removal of old material before installation, you'll know this up front.Learn more
Preparing Roof Deck
To achieve maximum performance and guarantee the lifespan of your new roofing system, we prepare your roof deck carefully and repair any damaged areas if needed.Learn more
Adding Insulation
To improve the energy efficiency of your home or commercial building, additional insulation can be installed. If you currently have issues with standing water, we recommend tapered insulation, which directs all water to drains without it pooling on your roof ever again.Learn more
Installing IB Roof System
All seams are heat-welded, using high temperatures (approx. 1200°F). The seams, instead of being "the weakest link", actually become one of the strongest components of your new roof. With no open flame used, there's also no risk of fire damage to your property.Learn more

Once the roofing membrane is attached to the roof deck and all seams are welded together to create a water-tight system, we then install other vital components: skylight flashings, roof deck drains, metal cap flashings, air vents, etc.Learn more

This stuff works great to help me tame my naturally kinky hair. I straighten my hair almost every day and using this with the Tresseme Smoothing Creme my hair looks shiny and stays straight all day long.
This is a light weight hairspray for all types of hair and styles its my go to product!
I have naturally curly hair, I used to straighten it alot and in the summer I would have so much frizz upon waking outside. I tried many expensive products before trying this and I love this the most! I used it when my hair is wet all around the head when my hair is wet and wants to be curly. It dries to a really nice hold and isn't sticky or crispy at all. I use it once again to finish and TA DA!! Perfect hair even the next day I still get compliments :)
works good , and does what it says it does but it can get a lil stickyy if you pray to close or too much but it pree good andd has a greatt holdd (:
This is the best product on the market to provide great hold and control without your hair feeling stiff!
I have naturally wavy hair that I straighten every day. This is the best hairspray I have ever used. It kept my hair straight and in place even in the extreme humidity during my beach wedding in Mexico. Absolutely love it.
This is very good and it holds your hair! Get it..
This is the best hair spray ever. It maintains fly aways and frizz without weighing your hair down and causing it to be hard.
My limp, fine, straight hair has done so much better since I switched to the complete line of climate control products. The humidity in the mountain air is a challenge to keep hair looking good. This line has truly helped.
I love love love tresseme hairspray. I went to a wedding recently and I ran out of my own hairspray so I used my friend's tresseme hairspray. My hair style stayed in tact all night long through all the dancing and heat. I did not have to worry at all. And I didn't have super sticky and stiff hair either like other sprays. I vowed to run to the store the next day and pick up my own tresseme hairspray!
So I needed a can of hairspray since I'd run out of it. I use hairspray because my hair is very thin, and wavy, and when I wear it straight it goes flat really quickly and looks greasy at the roots by the early evening. I just blow-dry it straight. (When I wear it wavy, I absolutely LOVE the Climate Control mousse... wrote a review on that one too.) So since they didn't have the Tresemme hairspray that I usually use and try to build volume with (I also would have to use a root boost spray) but they had the Climate Control finishing spray, which either is new or I have never seen before. So I decided to give it a try, hoping it would at least help my hair not go so flat and greasy so fast. So I used it, and it is a lot stronger hold than I was expecting, so I just use a whole lot less of it than I did the other kind, and it works just fine. What I didn't expect, though, is that it keeps my hair looking FRESHLY WASHED and blowdried ALL DAY. Even into the next morning, after sleeping on it. There's no grease on my scalp anymore. I don't know what that's about, but I DO know that I'll never, ever use another hairspray again. This stuff is incredible! Needless to say, it keeps my hair straight and keeps the frizzies away. It's like it seals in the clean, blowdried look for like, two days. It's awesome. And, I don't need to use any root boost spray anymore, either. Anyway, go buy it. It's great. :)
Love the hair spray, works great leaves hair natural feeling without frizzing. Greatest I have ever used.
I swear by this hairspray. Everyone needs it. It is perfect for all temperatures. I use it EVERYDAY. It is light on my hair and keeps it from getting greasy.
I was hesitant to try a new spray, so glad I did. first time I used, my hair felt damp for a few seconds and did not like, tried again next day. my hair came out the best in so long. it gives me time to move any pieces and holds all day, but looks soft. the price is great.... I think you will be happy you tried this. I have used almost every hairspray on the market.( I am a hairspray addict.) this is the best so far for me. please don't stop making it. love love love it.
Great product for fine hair. Holds style even in high humidity.
Smells great and works great!!
Super nice
I haven't tried this yet but I've used other tresemme products and I love the smell and how it helps with frizz with the humidity.
I have naturally curly hair, and I like to straighten it. Humid weather often fights my styling and causes lots of frustration towards my frizzy hair. This hairspray does the best job to, "control the beast", as my daughter claims. Highly worth a try.

Getting a free sure fire from my dad, same one he carried in 2003 when deployed. I guess the army never accounted for it so he got to keep it and his personal M4 already has a surefire on it.

Vietnam Killed Liberals' Will To Oppose
7 years ago
The state of the liberal mind is on display on this week's cover of Time magazine.
The already notorious cover takes the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines planting the American flag on Iwo Jima and substitutes a tree for the flag. Why Time's editors did this explains much about contemporary liberalism.
The first thing it explains is that liberals, not to mention the left as a whole, stopped fighting evil during the Vietnam War.
As I wrote in my last column, whereas liberals had led the fight against Nazism before and during World War II, and against communism after the war, the liberal will to fight communism, the greatest organized evil of the postwar world, collapsed during the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War did to American liberals what World War I did to most Europeans â€' it rendered them anti-war rather than antievil.
That is why liberals have gone AWOL in the fight against Islamic totalitarianism. As during the post-Vietnam Cold War, when liberals fought anti-communists much more than they fought communists, they fight anti-Islamists much more than they fight Islamists.
Thus, Democrats routinely dismiss the Bush administration's talk about the threat of Islamic terror as "scare tactics.â€Â
But â€' and this is a primary reason for Time's cover â€' liberals know that they have largely opted out of the fight against Islamists; their only passion on this matter is abandoning the war against Islamists in Iraq.
But like nearly all people who believe in a cause, they know that they have to fight some evil â€' after all, the world really seems threatened by something.
So they have channeled their desire to fight threats to the world to fighting an enemy that will not hurt them or their loved ones â€' man-made carbon dioxide emissions.
It is much easier to fight global warming than to fight human evil.
You will be celebrated at Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the BBC and throughout the media world, no one will threaten your life, there are huge grants available to scientists and others who fight real or exaggerated environmental problems, and you may even receive an Academy Award and the Nobel Peace Prize. Individuals who fight Islamists get fatwas.
The Time cover is cheap heroism. It is a liberal attempt to depict as equally heroic those who fight carbon emissions and those who fought Japanese fascists and Nazis.
Second, for much of the left, the cover reflects the primacy of environmental concerns over moral concerns.
For example, the left seemed never to care about the millions of Africans who continued to die from malaria largely because of the environmentalists' worldwide ban on the use of DDT as a pesticide.
The same holds true for another left-wing environmentalist fantasy. Changing corn into biofuels is causing a surge in food prices throughout the world. The European Union continues this policy despite warnings even from some environmentalists that food shortages, starvation and food riots are imminent.
But human suffering is not as significant as environmental degradation.
Third, the left is far more internationalist â€' global, if you will â€' in its orientation than national.
As the Time article states, "Going green: What could be redder, whiter and bluer than that?†Whereas, for most Americans, patriotism remains red, white and blue; for much of the left, it is green.
Fourth, the further left you go, the more inclined you are to hysteria. From the threat of DDT to the threat of heterosexual AIDS in America to that mass killer, secondhand smoke, the left believes and spreads threats that, unlike the threat of Islamic terror, really are "scare tactics.â€Â
Years from now, Time's cover will be regarded as another silly media-induced fear.
But, as with Time's 1974 article warning its readers about "another ice age†and its many articles on the threat of heterosexual AIDS in America, Time will just let public amnesia deal with credibility problems.
Until then, however, one fact remains: Today, conservatives fight evil and liberals fight carbon emissions. That's what this week's cover of Time is about.
Been 5 months since I posted
7 years ago
So if anyone even watches me still I'll give you an update on my life. Basically life's good and going in the direction I want it to. I am going to graduate high school in a month, go to the Citadel in the fall. Completely in and all that, working on a full scholarship right now and according to the Captain in charge of that at the Citadel I'm up there on his merit list. So essentially bad ass education for close to free, a guaranteed active duty commission into the US Army, chances to go to Jump Schol and Air Assault school. So bad ass. I seem to spend all my money on guns now, I have around 7 1/2 guns (1/2 cuz I'm halfway through building another gun) My next gun is going to bethe king of my collection, an M16 A4, hells yeah. Basically I get a paycheck and go buy gun parts. Oh yeah since it's been that long last November I got a job at Dicks Sporting Goods in the gun department. Been paint balling more and more so the money I don't spend on guns goes there. Still working out like a nut case, me and a buddy who's a power lifter who holds state titles lift and then spare. Some intense shit, lifting like a maniac then go straight into beating the shit out of each other. On weekends I drink more beer than you can imagine. My room is covered in bottles, mostly Negra Modello and Shinner Bock right now but I have a case of Smithwicks coming up. I don't know how I do it, I drink myself stupid then get A's in school and run miles like it's nothing. I'm fucking pissed, the Blackhawks were so close to making the playoffs. Got my motorcycle permit last week, going to try and get the license sometime soon and save up for a bike.
I'm going to try and check this site more regularly so make yourself heard if you still give a shit about my existence.
So apparantly I'm kinda popular
7 years ago
So I was standing around outside the mobile station with a few close friends looking for a place to
drinkand every five minutes I was talking to someone new who I was pretty good friends with and taking a hit from whatever they were drinking (I also realized that my towns police are really inept because half my schools population is walking around the mobile station drunk as hell). Either way I'm feeling good about myself.
Halloween Joke
7 years ago
An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a
series of tests, the last of which had left his
bodily systems extremely upset.
Upon making several false alarm trips to the
bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another
and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with
diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to
remain rational.
In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of
bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out
the hospital window.
A drunk was walking by the hospital when the
sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing,
and swinging his arms violently trying to get the
unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled
sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.
As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet,
staring down at the sheets, a hospital security
guard, (barely containing his (laughter), and who
had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked,
"What the heck is going on here?"
The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I
just beat the shit out of a ghost."

In a recent decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court found that a plumbing foreman was not entitled to compensation for the time he spent commuting to and from job sites and his home at the beginning and end of his workday, even though he used a company vehicle and carried his employer's tools to and from the sites. In its ruling, the court rejected the Connecticut Department of Labor's four-part test for determining the compensability of travel time and instead applied the federal test, which is more favorable to employers.
In Sarrazin v. Coastal, Inc., the plaintiff, Brian Sarrazin, brought suit against his former employer claiming that he was due overtime wages for the time he spent traveling between his home and job sites. The issue before the Connecticut Supreme Court was under what circumstances an employee is entitled to compensation for travel time between home and work. The court found that as long as the commute in a company vehicle is within the normal commuting area for the employer's business or establishment and the use of the employer's vehicle is subject to an agreement between the employee and the employer, the travel time is not compensable. The court further noted that courts have found an agreement regarding the use of a company vehicle to exist even if the employer and employee have an oral understanding rather than a written agreement.
In finding that Sarrazin was not entitled to compensation for this travel time, the court held that the Portal-to-Portal Act provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) preempted the Connecticut Department of Labor's regulations concerning travel time. Under the relevant federal standard, Sarrazin had not shown that driving the vehicle and carrying the tools imposed on him more than a minimal burden. A court might find that an employee is bearing more than a minimal burden if the employee is inconvenienced during his or her commuting time and has to spend it primarily performing the functions of his or her job, rather than engaging in activities for the employee's own benefit, e.g., listening to music or making personal phone calls.
The court declined to apply the four-part test advanced by the Connecticut Department of Labor, pursuant to which travel time is compensable unless an employer can establish all four of the following points: (1) the vehicle in question is one that would normally be used for commuting; (2) the employee incurs no cost for driving or parking the employer's vehicle at his or her home; (3) the work sites are within the normal commuting distance from the employer's establishment; and (4) the employee takes the company vehicle home voluntarily.
Employers in Connecticut whose employees take home company vehicles and drive them to work should ensure that their employees do not have more than a "minimal burden" when commuting to work or job sites. If an employee is commuting to a job site, the employer should make sure that the employee's first site is within a reasonable commuting distance, preferably equidistant to the employee's commute to the employer's business. Employers should also ensure that they have an "understanding" with the employee, preferably in writing or in a policy statement, concerning the employee's use of a company vehicle.

DEFINITION of 'Nonperforming Asset'
A debt obligation where the borrower has not paid any previously agreed upon interest and principal repayments to the designated lender for an extended period of time. The nonperforming asset is therefore not yielding any income to the lender in the form of principal and interest payments.
BREAKING DOWN 'Nonperforming Asset'
For example, a mortgage in default would be considered non-performing. After a prolonged period of non-payment, the lender will force the borrower to liquidate any assets that were pledged as part of the debt agreement. If no assets were pledged, the lenders might write-off the asset as a bad debt and then sell it at a discount to a collections agency.
