I started a computer job in September 2012. Since I have developed hand and wrist issues. I filed workman's comp and am undergoing treatment. My hands are deteriorating. My manager is stating that my performance is poor. I am planning on resigning to improve my health. Can I claim unemployment if my employer does not contest it ?
Workman's compensation - My doctor has restricted keyboard use to 4.5 hours per day. But that is also very difficult for me. He has not taken me off work. Can i file for disability ?IF ANYONE FEELS ADDITIONAL INFO IS REQUIRED, PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT ADDITIONAL INFO YOU WOULD LIKE. Thank You
You have many issues festering. Your best bet is to retain an attorney.
You have to get fired and not for cause to collect unemployment, so I wouldn't bank on it.
Your doctor had you on restricted duty, which your company must accommodate or you are entitled to TTD.
Again, too many moving parts here so before this gets even messier, please talk to a lawyer.

This answer posted on Avvo is for informational and educational purposes only. There is no attorney-client relationship created or formed and you should not rely on this as legal advice. The suggestion is made that if you wish to protect your rights, you consult with an attorney immediately.Ask a similar question
I agree that there are too many questions and not enough information. You should talk to an attorneyAsk a similar question
I agree that there are some missing facts here that need sorting out, however, in general attorneys do not like, and in fact hate, to see that the client has quit a job and/or attempted to line up an alternative source of income, such as unemployment or retirement benefits, because of a work related injury on their own and without checking with a lawyer first. Consult with an attorney before, not after, taking such drastic measures yourself since they could ruin your case.
Unemployment is a particularly poor substitute for workers compensation benefits since by definition you need to be able to state you are able and willing to work to qualify for benefits. In the event you obtain both unemployment and TTD in Illinois you will generally speaking be required to pay back the unemployment that you received to the IDES for any period(s) in which you later received TTD. If you cannot work, then it logically follows you cannot state you are able to work. Such a contradiction while not an absolute bar to claiming benefits can contradict your claim of disability and potentially damage your credibility at a hearing for benefits.
Also resigning your position is another extremely poor idea. The employer will no doubt dispute that your claimed injury was in any way related to you voluntarily quitting your job. You will have potentially abandoned many valuable benefits and rights of employment which you could have taken advantage of. Once again, talk to an experienced workers compensation attorney first being for doing something that extreme.Ask a similar question

Tomato sandwich. A Southern tradition, the tomato sandwich lets the simplicity of the tomato's wonderful natural flavors shine. The traditional Southern tomato sandwich is simply bread, mayo and thick slices of fresh tomatoes. I put a healthy twist on it by using a slice of whole wheat bread, a thin spread of olive oil mayo and serve it open-faced style with thick slices of fresh heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper on top.
- Tomato tart. Tarts and pies are often thought of as sweet foods, but a savory tomato tart is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this summertime staple. Simply buy individual-sized frozen tart crusts and sprinkle them with your favorite cheese (I like mozzarella or Parmesan) and then add a layer of diced onions and tomatoes. Next, sprinkle with your favorite herbs (I like thyme and basil), more diced tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Then beat milk (3/4 cup for four tarts) and eggs (2 eggs for 4 tarts) together and pour mixture evenly over all the tarts. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until set.
- Tomatoes and eggs. This may sound like a strange breakfast combination if you've never had it before, but when you try it, you'll be swapping out bacon or sausage for sliced tomatoes as the companion to your morning eggs. The acidic and slightly sweet flavors of the tomato balance the rich, savory flavor of eggs. You can also try adding a tomato slice to your breakfast sandwich or dicing up tomatoes to go in your scrambled eggs or omelet.
- Grilled tomatoes. Tomatoes are great raw, but grilling them brings out another whole dimension of flavor. Simply cut ripe, but firm, tomatoes in half horizontally and brush the cut side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to high and grill tomatoes covered, cut side down for two to four minutes. Then you can serve them on their own with fresh basil or toss into a pasta or salad dish.
Last but not least, be sure to store your tomatoes out on your kitchen counter at room temperature and never in the refrigerator, as that can ruin the texture and flavor of your tomatoes. To avoid soggy pizza or similar baked dishes that use tomatoes, first seed the tomatoes by cutting each one in half and then gently squeezing each half over a bowl to remove the seeds and juice. Then you can slice or dice as needed.

Sprains and strains, injuries due to manual handling, are the most common injuries suffered by workers across all workplaces, and in all industries.
The use of force by a person to lift, push, pull, carry, or otherwise restrain any object is referred to a 'manual handling'. It is more than just lifting or carrying something. Manual handling includes pulling a lever, restraining an animal or using a tool or instrument, and includes working at a computer!
Injuries due to manual handling, sprains and strains, are the most common injuries suffered by workers across all workplaces, and in all industries. They are also are responsible for 55% of all WorkCover claims, and 70% of claims over 1 year's length. Ergonomics and manual handling were the top hazards identified by health and safety reps in the national ACTU survey done in September 2001. This is despite the fact that Victoria has had regulations and a code of practice for manual handling for over 15 years.
More recently, in 2008 the National Hazard Exposure Worker Surveillance [NHEWS] survey collected information on 4500 Australian workers' exposure to nine biomechanical demands, pain and fatigue symptoms and the provision of various risk controls. Safe Work Australia has now released the report based on the results of the NHEWS: Exposure to biomechanical demands, pain and fatigue symptoms and the provision of controls in Australia workplaces The survey revealed that almost 100 per cent of workers are exposed to the biomechanical (physical) demands in their workplace, with the majority of workers being exposed to multiple demands and approximately 20 per cent of workers reporting exposure to all nine demands. In particular, young workers, male workers, night workers and lower skilled workers were most likely to report exposure and had the highest overall biomechanical demand exposure. Musculoskeletal disorders are still one of the leading causes of morbidity and disability and create a substantial burden to the individual and society. In Australia, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) account for the largest proportion of occupational disease workers compensation claims. Between 2002 and 2008, successful WMSD claims resulted in $361 million being spent on workers compensation payments per year.
The ACTU and unions around Australia have an ongoing campaign to reduce the high level of sprains and strains.
What should health and safety reps do about manual handling?
The first thing to do is to find out whether manual handling is a problem at your workplace - is it a hazard? The easiest way to do this is to do a Body Mapping exercise with the members of your designated work group. Body Mapping is easy to do: it involves meeting with your members and asking them to mark on an outline of the human body where they 'hurt'.
Other ways of checking whether manual handling is a problem include talking to members, doing a survey on manual handling and checking the records of incidents, injuries and WorkCover claims. Go to the Toolkit section of the site for advice on how to collect information in your workplace, including how to do a Body Mapping exercise.
If your investigations reveal that manual handling is a problem, then, as with any other hazard, you should approach your employer to ensure that the risks are eliminated or if this is not possible, reduced. Part 3.1 (Manual Handling) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (2007) requires the employer to identify tasks involving hazardous manual handling and implement controls to eliminate or, if this is not practicable, reduce the hazards and/or risks associated with the hazardous manual handling. (check the Manual Handling Regulations)
How do Manual Handling Injuries Occur?
Injuries are caused by hazardous Manual Handling tasks. These injuries often occur because:
- Workers must adopt harmful postures in order to handle loads;
- Workers are expected to lift loads which are too heavy;
- Objects are not designed for ease of handling;
- Workplaces are poorly designed (including work stations), and
- Work systems are poorly designed, eg. frequency and pace of handing tasks increase the risks.
What are the legal requirements for manual handling?
The employer has the duty to eliminate or reduce the risk of manual handling injuries. Part 3.1 (Manual Handling) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007 require an employer to do certain things to do this. In summary, your employer must:
1 - Identify hazardous manual handling tasks
According to the Regulations, a hazardous manual handling task is one which involves any of the following:
- repetitive or sustained application of force;
- repetitive or sustained awkward posture;
- repetitive or sustained movement;
- application of high force being an activity involving a single or repetitive use of force that it would be reasonable to expect that a person in the workforce may have difficulty undertaking;
- exposure to sustained vibration;
- manual handling of live persons or animals;
- manual handling of unstable or unbalance loads, or loads which are difficult to grasp or hold.
The identification of hazardous manual handling tasks must be done before these tasks are undertaken, or before changes are made to the workplace.
In this way, the Regulations put the emphasis on good workplace design, which includes layout, objects and work methods, rather than fixing problems later, after injuries have occurred.
Once hazardous manual handling has been identified, the new regulations assume there is a risk, and require the employer to take action (in consultation with the Health and Safety Representative and workers performing the tasks) to:
2 - Control the risk
The Regulations specify that priority must be given to fixing the workplace problems first and attempting to eliminate the risks, rather than requiring the workers to cope with poor design of objects, tools, layout and methods.
The Regulations require that controls be implemented in the following order:
- Altering
- the workplace layout (eg. removing obstacles, providing more suitable space, re-designing storage areas)
- the workplace environment (eg heat, cold, vibration) where the task involving the manual handling is undertaken
- the systems of work (eg. not moving objects at all, or moving them less frequently, or reducing the pace of work),
- Changing the objects (reducing the weight, or fitting handles, or changing shape)
- Using mechanical aids (always checking these are well maintained, that operators are properly trained or licensed, and that new hazards are not introduced to the workplace).
See a Summary of the Manual Handling Regulations section of the regulations - this includes a link to the full text. See also a July 2009 WorkSafe publication: Preventing the unseen injuries in your workplace - a checklist to help prevent sprains and strains in the workplace, which are commonly caused by manual handling and slips, trips and falls.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 requires an employer to provide 'such information, instruction, training and supervision to employees as are necessary to enable the employees to perform their work in a manner that is safe and without risks to health'. While this also applies to manual handling tasks, training does not reduce the risk at source, and must not be used as the only control, nor as the first priority.
Code Of Practice
The Manual Handling Code of Practice, issued in 2000 under the 1985 OHS Act, provides more information and on how to identify, assess and control manual handling risks, as well as checklists to be filled out for specific tasks. It includes many examples and diagrams. While the Code of Practice no longer has the same status as it had, it is still useful until such time as the Compliance Code for Manual Handling is developed. The Manual Handling Code of Practice can be downloaded from the WorkSafe website or is available free from WorkSafe.

- WorkSafe Victoria has a large number of publications on Manual Handling which can be downloaded from their website. There is a special webpage specifically on Manual Handling. Here are a few examples:
- The Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice on Hazardous Manual Tasks developed as part of the harmonisation of work health and safety legislation (December 2011), to support Part 4.2 Hazardous Manual Tasks, of the Model WHS Regulations.

Orange Cafe
1608 E. Mayfair Ave
Orange, CA 92867
I was flying solo this week after getting the oil changed in my car. I was hungry and bored so I checked Yelp for breakfast places. Orange Cafe came up almost on top and I had read a few other blogger reviews on it, so that made it an easy choice. The restaurant is small and can fill up very quickly. I must have gotten lucky because I was able to sit right away. I looked over the menu and almost got the corned beef hash and eggs but then I saw vanilla bean creme brulee french toast. Creme brulee being one of my favorite desserts it was my pick. The order came with eggs and bacon or sausage, I went with one and one.
I got my eggs scrambled and they were fluffy, light and cooked just right. The bacon was crisp and not greasy. The sausage was full of flavor and snapped when bit into. This was a great start to my breakfast that was only $9.95.
I got my eggs scrambled and they were fluffy, light and cooked just right. The bacon was crisp and not greasy. The sausage was full of flavor and snapped when bit into. This was a great start to my breakfast that was only $9.95.
The star of this meal was the creme brulee french toast. This was a classicly cooked french toast but instead of syrup it is served with a creme brulee sauce. All I can say is Oh Em Ge! This was some of the best french toast I have ever had. The french toast it self was not soggy by any means and had a slight toast to it. This made the bread very easy to cut with a fork and I could taste the flavor of this soft bread. The creme brulee sauce was drizzled over the four slices and Orange Cafe also provides an extra small cup of this sauce with the caramelized sugar top. Breaking the sugar top and pouring this liquid goodness all over the french toast made this an over the top breakfast. As rich as this sounds, it was not. In fact this sauce was just the right amount of sweetness.
My wife was not happy that she did not get to try The Orange Cafe so I know we will be back and I am 100% okay with that thought. The service at Orange Cafe was super friendly and speedy. The menu prices were reasonable for the portion size. My plate of food was on point and the flavor was amazingly good. I would say without a doubt you need to get yourself to Orange Cafe and try this place out.

Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull Rock the World Cup Opening Ceremony with "We Are One"
Soccer fever has taken over most of the globe as the 2014 World Cup has kicked off in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were in the house to get things started on Thursday (June 12).
Joined by Brazilian pop singer Claudia Leitte, the "Waiting for Tonight" songstress and the "Timber" rapper performed the official FIFA song "We Are One (Ole Ola)" while fans looked on.
Unfortunately there were some technical issues that made it difficult to hear J. Lo and Pitbull, and many spectators complained about the problem.
An ITV spokesperson explained, "The sound problem that regrettably caused some disruption to viewers was caused by a technical issue with the host broadcaster, which provides the coverage of all the action at this year's World Cup."

The Lady and the Peacock: The Life of Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma
Richard Lloyd Parry writes:
Peter Popham's life of Aung San Suu Kyi is gripping, partisan and emotional, a welcome complement to the only other serious biography in English, Justin Wintle's assiduously comprehensive Perfect Hostage. It contains fascinating new material and conveys, better than any other account, the stirring drama of her confrontations with the junta. But perhaps the most interesting thing about it is its timing. It was delivered to the publishers in the summer of 2011, just as Burma's changes were invisibly getting underway. 'Her intercourse with the rulers of the country has been almost non-existent,' Popham writes, 'and there is little prospect of that changing.' Between final proofs and publication, everything changed. And yet what might have been fatally bad luck becomes the book's great strength. The Lady and the Peacock is an essential record of the struggle for democracy in Burma before the mysteries and promise of the Thein Sein era: a reminder of the 49 long years that preceded eight breathless months of reform.

Since this site is about Home, it's fitting that our first meditation should be the words from the song, "Bless This House". I remember hearing it often when I was growing up in the 1950s. After the lyrics there's a web link that lets you see and hear Perry Como singing the song.
Bless this house, oh Lord, we pray,
Make it safe by night and day.
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out.
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let Thy peace lie overall.
Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heavenly light.
Bless the hearth, ablazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!
Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin.
Bless us all that we may be,
Fit, oh Lord, to dwell with Thee.
Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
Oh Lord, with Thee!
Words and music by Helen Taylor and Mary H. Morgan ( a.k.a. Brahe ), 1927.


text: The Prehistoric tombs that were reported to MEPA in 2008 have recently been scheduled as a Class B monument. The tombs, located in the Parish Priest's residence in Kerċem, are composed of two rock cut chambers with the larger having an average diameter of 1.5 metres and a depth of approximately 1 metre.The upper part of the chambers had been cut away in a past intervention, possibly during the construction of the parish church during the late 19th century. Original tool marks are still visible on the chamber walls, which appear to have been smoothed down, possibly by using pebbles. One of the chambers has a small annexe which may have been used as an ossuary. Within the main chamber, articulated skeletons in a crouched position are still extant. Pottery fragments and chert tools were discovered together with the burials.The historic feature was reported upon discovery by the Parish Priest of the locality and the architect of the project in 2008. There is no previous record of prehistoric remains found in the immediate area. The closest reference for prehistoric remains is located 200 metres to the North West within the grounds of the government nursery.The site is considered to have a high level of historical significance at a national level in that it provides important data relating to burial practices in a specific archaeological period. The tobs were scheduled as a Class B national monument as per Government notice 1225 dated 10 December 2010.

My Carolina Experience: Kent Emanuel
By Zoya Johnson, GoHeels.com
In high school, Kent Emanuel was not only a top-ranked baseball recruit as a college prospect but a highly-ranked major league draft projection. Because of this, he had the option to play anywhere he wanted.
In order for Emanuel to consider going pro instead of pursuing a career as a collegiate athlete, he set very lofty criteria for professional teams to meet. As proceeded through the process not very many teams were willing to meet his demands. Thus his decision to pursue a college career was made.
"I knew I wanted to be a part of a top team that played in a top conference, while also being a reasonable distance from home (Woodstock, Ga.). This narrowed my decision down to schools that were a part of the ACC or SEC. From there, to be honest, it came down to a gut feeling. I had a really hard time deciding which school I wanted to choose because they all seemed to have a lot to offer," Emanuel says.
"At the end of my recruiting process, I remember my friend Nick Crocker asking me which school would make me the most upset if it retracted its offer. Once I looked at it that way, I knew UNC was the university I wanted to attend."
Coming into college, all of Emanuel's goals were based on him capitalizing on his overall experience. As a student, Emanuel wanted to see what the classes and professors had to offer him and to take advantage of all the resources available to him. Socially, he wanted to use the time to make life-long friends and try to enjoy college as much as he could.
Those goals remained the same throughout Emanuel's time at UNC but as an athlete he saw many changes in the type of person he thought he wanted to be and the type of person he became.
"If I remember correctly, my sheet my freshman year read something along the lines of: 'Go to the College World Series, win the College World Series, be All-ACC, be a Freshman All-America, be on the All-American team, set this record, set that record etc. etc.' This list went on and on basically just setting the highest goals one could possibly set. They were all focused on being the greatest player possible. As my career went on and developed, my goals changed. I learned a lot my freshman year, and I had a lot of success as a freshman to the point where coming into my sophomore and junior years, I was viewed as one of the leaders of the team."
"I remember my sophomore and junior years I only had one line filled in on my goal sheet and if memory serves me correctly I wrote something along the lines of, 'help this team win a national championship.' I think that exemplifies my development as an athlete in college. I went from focusing on being the greatest player possible to wanting to help my team achieve its goals, focusing on being the best teammate possible and having the team achieve its goals because if the team was achieving its goal, that meant I would be achieving mine."
Emanuel attributes his ability to make this mental transition from simply being a talented and very driven player into a leader to his participation in the Richard A. Baddour Carolina Leadership Academy. It was through the CLA that Emanuel was able to take the tangible feedback he got from his teammates and use it to help make him better for the team in so many ways. The academy's impact was something Emanuel felt not just through the success of the team but in how he and his teammates interacted and treated one another. The academy provided him with skills he will continue to use as a professional athlete surrounded by players who may not always be able to mesh well but who will all want to come together in order to reach a common goal.
Because he and his teammates shared so many experiences with each other and had the pleasure of calling each other not just teammate but friend, Emanuel felt it was easy to lead once he put in the work. As a professional Emanuel feels he will have to utilize his experience with the CLA even more than he had to in college because the intensity level has gone up and the level of connectivity has gone down. The dynamics of the team are different when the sport transitions from being a privilege into your entire livelihood.
Something else Emanuel was able to capitalize on while at Carolina was his ability to improve as a player. Coming in, he was known as a pitcher that was able to throw in any situation. When Emanuel came to Carolina and became a pitcher in the ACC that changed dramatically. The talent, drive, and intensity of the game all rose to another level so gone were the days of simply throwing the ball.
"I had to know what to throw to different hitters in different situations. I even developed a slider while at Carolina so I could have a harder breaking ball to throw to hitters. Having that experience and continuously learning how to attack different hitters undoubtedly helped me be a successful college pitcher and will help me become a successful professional as well," says Emanuel.
In college, Emanuel also had to mature physically in order to improve his performance, and with the help of his strength and conditioning coaches, led by Greg Gatz, he was able to do so. By the time Emanuel left Carolina as a junior he had gained 25 pounds of "good mass, while still being able to condition at a high level." The change in size and strength aided in helping Emanuel improve and have no doubt made him a better player in his professional career. The gains he made at Carolina however were not all on the diamond.
Though being on the baseball team was a very important part of Emanuel's Carolina Experience, as he expressed his feelings about the impact the CLA had on him, it became clear that baseball was not the only enriching part of it. Emanuel says the greatest thing he gained at Carolina would have to be the relationships he formed along the way. Not just his relationships with his teammates but those with classmates, professors, fans, his coaches, and the staff of UNC athletics as he felt all of these relationships played a role in making his experience as fulfilling as it was.
Although Emanuel signed professionally after his junior year as a Tar Heel, he returned to complete a semester after his first season and plans to do the same this year so that he can finish his exercise and sport science degree. He plans on a December 2014 graduation date.
Emanuel's experience as a Carolina student-athlete was a positive one indeed.
"I know when UNC is talked about negatively, it is probably coming from individuals who misunderstand what this University really is all about or it is coming from individuals who just didn't seize the opportunity to take advantage of what a great place UNC is. I know that all of my experience with Carolina has led to me to having nothing but the most positive views of the school in all facets."

Reflashing Chimney
6 Attachment(s)
The week after I bought my home I had a new roof put on, new shingles that is. Anyway about a year and a half later, I noticed some water spots on the ceiling drywall near the chimney. I researched the topic and decided to tackle the job myself. Here's the before and the progress.
2 Attachment(s)
A look from inside the attic. The sheathing was extremely water logged.
6 Attachment(s)
Today, I began the task. I have read about, watched videos on and still wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into. Anyway, here's the photos of what I began.
5 Attachment(s)
Once I got the sheathing off, I decided that I needed to strenghten the trusses that had been exposed to water. I also needed some additional backing for the new plywood sheathing.
5 Attachment(s)
I had some sheet metal cut a couple of weeks ago in anticipation for this job.
It got dark on me and I wasn't able to finish the counter flashing, but I will tomorrow. And I'll post photos of the completed chimney.
looking good
i like the cleats holding down the front apron:thumbsup:
Ugly Mess
That was one ugly mess you just fixed. Good job and your repair seems to be by my eye "Good to go." Keep it up, dorf dude...
That junction of the roof's rake and the uphill side of that style of chimney/roof junction is a difficult location to deal with as water will spill out over the roof edge and tend to back up against the chimney and run back up under the shingles. Also, concentrated water runoff running down the chimney at this location may damage the masonry. It would be nice see WSU along the rake. At a minimum make sure that there is drip edge along that section of rake, and if possible a flashing detail to prevent water backup. In my opinion, and based on my experience, a cricket directing that water over the edge uphill of the chimney and/or toward the inboard side of the chimney is a desirable detail at this location.
cricket not really needed on that small of a chimney,nice maybe
Finished Photos
3 Attachment(s)
The only thing I have left to do is paint the exposed brick to match the house color (the black part above the counterflashing) The caulk hasn't fully dried yet. It's supposed to dry clear.
And yes, that's a nice looking job - many "professionals" don't do as well.
If that's the case, and a cricket were placed there, I would think water could still run under the edge of the it unless it were protruding over the roof more?
There was no indication that water had done this before with its present design and it's been there since 1964. What I might do though, is seal the top of the facia where it abuts the bottom of the shingles to prevent water from entering. Maybe also seal the top of the shingle where it joins the flashing. I think I'll test it, then decide.
Thanks for your compliment and suggestions.
Yes, my concern is with the "outside junction".
Fig. 1 What can happen when runoff is directed down the exterior of a masonry chimney.
Fig. 2 Close-up of same chimney, there was extensive water damage at the interior below this junction. This example is at an eave, but runoff at a rake can cause the same problem.
I have seen many instances of such problems at home and moisture intrusion inspections here in Chicago.
that requires a kick out,that has nothing to do with a cricket
Very nice metal work! I would have concerns with the black paper and it's application. In the last picture of post 3, you cut the old paper in a stair-step fashion around the existing shingles. In the new paper you cut around the shingles like that again, but installed it over- not under the above paper. You can see the new plywood edge joint near the bottom after you papered and the new paper should go over the lower existing shingles.
The head flashing may direct water collecting there to the house side without a bead of roof tar to stop it's wicking/spilling when full. Look at the old head flashing piece, it's lost it's galvanized coating in the bend and extending towards the house. The head should have been cut before bending, not after, so the groove bend would have been flat or crimped to direct water down side of chimney. With the exist paper application, any water will wet the whole area where there is new paper.
A cricket, as Michael said, would solve this. Kick-out flashing is always on the rake, not the head.
Be safe, Gary

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the tropics have the highest annual average application rates of pesticides. So far, only a few studies involving LMICs have examined the interrelation between institutional determinants of pesticide use, actual practices of pesticide applications on small-scale farms, and associated human and environmental health effects. This project will fill this gap and contribute to shaping setting-specific policy recommendations.
To end poverty and hunger, and achieving food security are primary objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals. Limiting food price volatility is one of the central targets. This project will identify the effects of trade policy measures on global food price volatility. It will examine the mechanisms through which global food price volatility is transmitted to the local level and how it affects local food security. The research seeks to identify measures that can operate as "circuit-breakers" in the transmission process and mitigate the adverse effects on local food security.
Persons with disabilities in situations of armed conflict or its aftermath are too often "the forgotten victims of conflict". Through case studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Palestine, Ukraine and Vietnam, this project will analyse the legal obligations of states under the international law and explain what laws, policies and practices are required to ensure better protection to persons with disabilities during armed violence.
The current political debate on immigration is characterised by opposing views as to their positive or negative effects on the host countries. While it is widely admitted that migration offers an opportunity for boosting innovation, which is a big economic driver, academic research on the effects of highly skilled immigrants on the host country's economy is sparse. This project will fill this gap by providing knowledge-based evidence on skilled migrants and their contribution to the host country's ability to innovate.
Faced with the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War, European policy makers are struggling with the design of the asylum process and programmes for the integration of refugees. This project will examine how the key policy parameters of the asylum process affect the subsequent short and long-term integration of refugees in four key receiving countries in Europe: Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are largely considered as contributing to sustainable development. However, ICT have no automatic positive effect but can also empower repressive regimes. The project will provide a systematic and comprehensive analysis of telecommunication and media politics in authoritarian development countries focusing on the influence of foreign investment and sustainable development.
This project focuses on political orders put in place by rebel movements, their strategies to legitimise their existence and claim to power, and on the extent to which they manage to institutionalise their military power and transform it into political domination. It contributes to the current policy debates on peace- and statebuilding in fragile contexts.
The growing influence of financial markets and institutions on national and international economies has profoundly changed the global commodities trade. This project will follow one single commodity – copper – from the mining pits in one of the major copper producing countries, Zambia, through towns and harbours on African transport corridors to the sites of industrial production and recycling in China. It will examine the effects of the financialisation in copper trading on the local lives and elaborate policy recommendations for Swiss and international regulatory actors.

How long have you been blogging?
Long enough to know better. I suppose you want a serious answer? Fine. I started blogging when yet another therapist said, "there is something deeply wrong with you that cannot be fixed." But honestly, isn't that how we all started blogging?
Hmm…I still didn't answer the question. Could I interest you in some cookies?
What piece of advice can you give to unseasoned bloggers?
This blogging thing seems like fun and games. You see your friends do it and think, that looks easy, I can do that. But no one tells you about the long nights on cold streets panhandling for change. The corruption, the lies. The drugs! Oh the drugs. Prostitution, gambling, deranged unicorns. Blogging's got it all. The first year will definitely be your hardest. If you can get through it, you can handle anything. But seriously though, it will not be easy. Handsome men with dark eyes and suspicious looking mustaches will try to lure you down dark alleys, promising a million followers and overnight fame. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. And whatever you do, DO NOT accept the red candy everyone's always handing out. They are NOT peanut M&M's. Trust me on this.
My advice? Think long and hard about this bloggy business. Once you're in, you can never get out. Well…you can, but it will cost you.
When is your favorite time of day and why?
Nighttime. Definitely. It's much easier to stalk people when it's dark out.
Where were you last Tuesday?
My lawyer advised me to never talk about last Tuesday. But honestly, what does he know? Last Tuesday I was…um…hmmm…it seems I don't remember where I was. Wherever it was and whatever I was doing, I'm sure it was fabulous. There was probably bacon. And sausage. LOTS of sausage. And I probably wore super cute boots. I bet there was really good music and I killed it on the dance floor and everyone told me I had really pretty hair. Wow. Last Tuesday was so much fun.
Who or what brings you the most inspiration?
Without a doubt, the voices in my head. Some more than others. I won't say which ones cuz they get really pissed when I play favorites.
When I'm working on my novel, then music, most definitely is what fuels me forward. I recently compiled a soundtrack of my WIP John and Darcy:
Someone to Watch Over Me Ella Fitzgerald
You are the Best Thing Ray LaMontagne
Crazy for this Girl Evan and Jaron
Crazy Girl Eli Young Band
Give Me Everything Ne Yo featuring Pitbull
Baby Got Back Sir Mix A Lot
You totally want to read it, don't you?
What is your favorite movie?
While You Were Sleeping. Apollo 13. The Hangover! The Evening Star! SUPER TROOPERS! A Time to Kill! I am sooo stressed out right now. Has anyone seen my Ativan? Oh look, a spider.
Why should people read your blog?
Um, isn't obvious by the answers to these questions?
Hey, did you guys know one time a lizard crawled up my pants and died? And one night, I caught my oven on fire and the next night I super glued my finger to my face? Also, I peed my pants sliding down a snow-covered mountain in Europe. At the bottom of that mountain? Was my entire senior glass. Because of me a tampon bird lives in a tree on an island somewhere, scaring unsuspecting hikers. And I once shot a diaphragm across the exam room at my gyno's office as I was trying to extricate it from my vagina.
All these stories are found on my blog. I think the better question is, why shouldn't you read it?
What blog post of yours is your favorite?
It's truly hard to pic cuz they're all such gems. Can't I just say ALL OF THEM?
No? You're really going to make me do it aren't you? You're going to make me choose my favorite child. Fine. But if the rest of my posts end up in therapy, you're totally paying the bill.
One of my all-time favorite posts has to be The Husband's "Other Woman" because for the first time ever, it makes me look like the sane one in our relationship. (http://4theluvofwriting.blogspot.com/2011/08/husbands-other-woman.html)
What is the most interesting place you've been?
Most recently? Jail.
Just kidding. It was totally the bathroom.
Okay, seriously. It's impossible to pick just one place. I will never forget the concentration camp I visited in Germany. It made the horror that took place there real, not just something you read about in history books. The Swiss Alps literally took my breath away. The Colosseum…wow. Just, wow.
This or that?
Gloves or mittens? The other day I tried to put mittens on my feet. True story. I was all, "what the heck is wrong with these socks?" "Oh…they're mittens."
Air Guitar or Lip Sync? I lip synched my way through two years of high school choir.
Cape or Mask? You guys better know the answer to this!
Head or Tails? You're asking me if I'd rather possess someone's head or an animal's tail? That is rather morbid, don't you think? Is the tail still attached to the butt, or is it just a tail? You know what? I don't want to know. I find this whole thing very disturbing.
Pie in the Face or Slip on a Banana Peel? Is the pie made of bacon? If yes, then definitely the pie.

Oh Mah Gah! Who is that crazy, I mean totally awesome, person on your blog?
Oh wait, it's me!
Do I sound completely narcissistic if I say this was a super fun to read? It's just that I wrote it so long ago and had totally forgotten what I wrote. I couldn't be more proud of my mental instability. Seriously, this is one of my finer blogging moments. Thanks for having me, woman! Oh, and just so we're clear - YOU get all the credit for the thong onesie/legwarmer trend.

- April 25, 2012 at 3:13 PM
that would be perfect! exactly who doesn't?
- April 25, 2012 at 3:17 PM
I'll be straight and tell you that I was hooked simply with the title. Nicely done. I've already taken a moment to follow her on pinterest and on twitter. I smell a blog subscription coming soon.

Will Smith
Turned 45, September 25. Will Smith, one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, has starred in over 20 blockbuster films, 16 of which have grossed over $100 million at the box office. In fact, Smith is the only actor in history to have 8 consecutive films break the $100 million mark domestically.

I'm disappointed. Team Type 1 took a great kit and pooped all over it. The 2011 kit was simple and classic. I liked the blues against the white and the understated logos.
Now…now it's this.
They took the beige of Footon-Servetto, the lime green of Liquigas-Cannondale, the blue of their previous jersey, mixed it all together on an artist palette, then threw it on the jersey. To an unfortunate effect. The beige is really the worst of it, but if you take it out, you're left with the blue and green, which is basically the Liquigas kit. Oy. I'd say this is the worst kit I've seen so far!
On a side note, I wonder what the goes through the rider's head when they pull out a kit like this (or any kit they thought was ugly) and think, "Awesome. Now I have to spend the whole season looking like a fashion disaster." I mean, imagine what the poor Footon guys had to go through! It's not like they weren't all aware that they were wearing one of the fugliest kits known to man. It had to be a bit demoralizing to get on your bike everyday and know that everyone in the peloton was thinking, "Thank god my kit doesn't look like that." Although…you can guarantee their kit and team will live on in the cycling kit history books for their willingness to humiliate their riders. Kinda like the Castorama kits. Or Mapai 😉

So I simply focused on another British movie star who has depended on his juvenile appeal and not his puerile one.
This eight-minute piece of puerile propaganda features the warm and winning voice of Ed Asner.
The results were strange, compelling, puerile, trashy and slightly brilliant—laser-targeted towards young Israeli males.
But for these two puerile sports fans, the evening was almost as much about the play-by-play as how things turned out.
This puerile feature in a nature which was conspicuously manly had often given rise to comment and conjecture.
This attempt to divert the conversation was too puerile, and Mrs. Honeychurch resented it.
Fellows shivered, attempted some puerile protest, balked, and stammeringly obeyed his restless and irritated companion.
How diminutive and puerile must seem the houses and cities of human fashioning!
What he has accomplished makes all my puttering about at what, after all, was pure charity, a puerile sort of service.
Their falsehoods were puerile, their affirmations ridiculous.
1660s, "youthful, boyish," a back-formation from puerility, or else from French puéril (15c.), from Latin puerilis "boyish; childish," from puer "boy, child" (see puerility). Disparaging sense, "juvenile, immature," is from 1680s.

Hospitality Rising: Touring Midtown's Hotel Development

App-Driven Field Work Produces Valuable Data Key to Maintaining Midtown's Walkability, Accessibility
With a transit station a block off Peachtree Street at each quarter mile interval between North Avenue and 15th Street, transit offers one of the most convenient modes of transportation in Midtown. Each day, more than 18,000 people access Midtown's three main transit stations—Arts Center, Midtown, and North Ave—to ride MARTA rail, MARTA buses, or regional express buses. As major gateways into Midtown, these stations significantly impact a visitor's first impression of our district and our city. Yet the convenience of transit in Midtown is undermined by lackluster conditions at the stations themselves.
Earlier this year, we received an $80,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission to fund a planning effort to enhance the functional, operational and aesthetic aspects on the exterior of each station. The goal is to improve the experience in and around the stations, thereby increasing the appeal of transit to a broad range of users—young, old, residents, commuters, visitors, natives, newcomers and more.
We solicited proposals through an RFP process last month and received a robust response from the local and national design community. Ultimately, a team led by Smith Dalia was chosen based on their human-centered design approach and expertise with over 150 major projects including White Provisions, Southern Diaries and Puritan Mill, which have successfully repositioned existing buildings through creative place-making. In addition to urban design expertise, the distinguished team includes: Alex Brewer (HENSE) for curatorial advice and collaboration with multi-media public artists, Heather Alhadeff of Center Forward Planning for transportation planning, Jacob Vallo for community outreach and fundraising, Susan Stainback of Sylvatica Studio for sustainable landscape design, and Morgan Gabler of Gabler Youngston for lighting design.
The planning effort is a 5 month process culminating in mid-November 2013. The design team will prepare transit station assessments, preliminary concepts and a proposed project list detailing near term and long range improvements to enhance the user-experience at each station. There will be public dialogue throughout the process utilizing social media channels, an online survey and a community design charrette. We will continue to work collaboratively with our partners at MARTA and the Atlanta Regional Commission to structure an implementation plan that is achievable and impactful.

White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, told an interviewer it was not the right time for a new plan for peace in the Middle East and emphasis should shift to talking about how all sides will get together in order to talk about talking. He argued "those conversations that eventually will lead to direct negotiations" are the most important issues facing Middle Eastern nations. He described US-Israel relations as "solid and emphasized "our bond with Israel is unshakable." Despite numerous articles which describe President Obama as disgusted by the shifting views of Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mr, Emanuel claims there is an "honest relationship" between the two men.
Discussions about how to have discussions have been going on for years, but Rahm believes we need more talking. What happens when either side gets disgusted with talks about talks and resorts to violence? Will that lead to negotiations?

Alarm Install
I have a Viper 5901 that I was given as a Christmas Gift and I need to get it installed somewhere in Houston. Anyone have someone they would recomend and trust to do this? I hate the thought of someone cutting into the wiring of a brand new truck so I want someone who will do it clean, and correct.

Air Conditioning Diagnosis
When the air conditioning system is malfunctioning, it can exhibit one or more symptoms such as a lack of cold air, only cooling the front area or one side of the vehicle, and/or not blowing cold air from the panel vents. When these types of symptoms occur, it is important to have an Air Conditioning Diagnosis.
An Air Conditioning Diagnosis involves special computer system scan tools, specialized A/C pressure testing equipment, specialized technician training, and even licensing in many states. Merely adding refrigerant to a poorly performing air conditioning system, without an Air Conditioning System Diagnosis, will do little to repair the problem and may even damage expensive A/C components.
The purpose of this article is to provide an outline for some of the essential steps involved in performing an Air Conditioning Diagnosis. This guide can be used—by you and the shop—to track the progress as the mechanics perform the test.
