Talk to us in confidence
Part-time judges and panel members do not receive pensions, while full-time colleagues do
The judgment in brief
Mr O'Brien, who was a fee paid part-time recorder, won his claim in the Supreme Court that he was entitled to a pro rata pension. The Court held that:
1. He was a worker within the meaning of the EU Part Time Workers Directive and so the UK Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (the Part Time Worker Regulations) applied to him. He could therefore bring a claim of less favourable treatment on the basis that he was denied a pension when his full-time, salaried comparators (judges doing similar work) were entitled to one.
2. The differential treatment between part-time fee paid and full-time salaried judges was unlawful discrimination as it was not objectively justified.[O'Brien judgment]
Other part-time fee paid judges will benefit from this decision, whether working in courts or tribunals. They must be employed by the same employer (the MOJ) under the same type of contract and engaged in the same or broadly similar work as a full time comparator. Claims may be made by existing fee-paid judges and those who were fee-paid but are now salaried (in relation to the period they were fee-paid).
Leigh Day is representing many fee paid judges in their claim for pro rata pension on retirement.
In addition to pension claims Leigh Day are also making further claims for:
a) full pay for training days as at present only half a day's pay is paid;
b) pay for judgment writing in certain jurisdictions;
c) London weighting (where applicable);
d) some pro rata holiday pay
e) daily rate/denominator claims for those in certain jurisdictions, on the basis that the daily rate has been incorrectly calculated as a result of using an incorrect denominator.
Claims (a) to (e) are additional claims for remuneration given (or given more preferentially) to salaried judges and unlawfully denied (or offered in a less favourable way) to fee paid judges. They are termed 'pay claims'. A preliminary hearing took place in December 2013 at which a number of issues were considered, including test claims in relation to the pay claims set out above. The Employment Tribunal upheld the claims for:
a) a full day's pay for each full day of training;
b) payment for judgment writing in certain jurisdictions;
c) London weighting (where applicable); and
d) some holiday payments in certain situations
e) some daily rate/denominator claims in certain jurisdictions.
Leigh Day
Chris Benson and his team are acting for fee-paid and former fee-paid judges claiming equal treatment with their full-time salaried colleagues). Current and former fee-paid judges can claim. If you are considering a claim please contact Shubha Banerjee or Maya Grantham.
In view of changes to the existing pension scheme, current salaried judges should also seek separate advice about whether to bring an O'Brien claim.
When to put in a claim
The primary time limit for lodging a claim under the Part Time Worker Regulations is three months less one day, where time starts to run from the date of the act about which the complaint is made. Although the point is subject to an appeal (which is pending), the Employment Tribunal found at the preliminary hearing in December 2013 that time started to run for the purposes of the Part Time Worker Regulations in these claims from the end of the period of fee-paid service in respect of which a claimant brings a claim. In other words, the Tribunal found that the primary time limit for a claim under the Part Time Worker Regulations is three months less one day from the end of each period of fee-paid service in respect of which pension and other entitlements are claimed.
The time limits are slightly different in respect of the claims for holiday pay, which are pursued under the Working Time Regulations 1998 rather than the Part Time Worker Regulations.
There is provision within the Part Time Worker Regulations for the time limit to be extended where there is a just and equitable reason for doing so.
The MoJ's announcement of 5 April 2013 about a moratorium
The MoJ announced on 5 April that there would be a moratorium on claims that:
The Employment Tribunal held at the preliminary hearing in December 2013 that those claimants whose relevant period of fee-paid service had ended on or after 2 December 2012 and who had not lodged claims for pension within the relevant time limit because of reliance upon the moratorium could proceed with their pension claims. In other words, those who satisfied the criteria above and did not lodge claims in reliance upon the moratorium could proceed with their pension claims, even if the time limit had passed without their having lodged a claim.
The MoJ also issued another moratorium in June 2013 in relation to those pay claims which would have been in time as at 3 June 2013. However, in our opinion, neither this nor the on pay claims gives any guarantee of payment. As a result, we are not encouraging reliance upon this moratorium unless absolutely necessary.
The MoJ has said that they will make payment to those whose actual or potential pay claims were in time, in our opinion this is no guarantee of payment and, where an individual leaves the period of fee-paid service in respect of which they seek entitlements, the time limit will start to run and just under three months thereafter pay claims will be out of time. As a result, we consider it advisable for those whose claims are in time to lodge a claim in any event (see later).
We anticipate that various arguments will be raised about time limits by the MoJ, although some arguments seem to us to be far stronger than others. The MoJ is raising limitation arguments in relation to judges who ceased to be fee-paid more than 3 months before the moratorium, ie prior to 2 December 2012 (and, in relation to pay claims, those who ceased to be fee-paid more than three months before that moratorium). Many retired judges and salaried judges will be affected by this.
As a result of all of the above, our advice in relation to timing remains as follows:
In relation to retired fee-paid judges or those who have left fee-paid service for a salaried or a further fee-paid appointment, claims should be brought wherever possible within three months of retirement or leaving.
Although as mentioned above there are provisions allowing time to be extended in certain limited circumstances, it is not advisable to rely upon these unless it is absolutely necessary as there are no guarantees that a tribunal will allow these provisions to be applied.
If three months have already passed, then claims should be lodged immediately as the extension of time provisions mentioned above require claims to be lodged without delay.
For existing fee paid judges still sitting, there are advantages in putting in a claim now, because the MOJ may settle/resolve existing claims in one tranche and possibly in priority to those who are entitled but have not lodged claims.
The MoJ made an announcement dated 27 March 2014 which states that a pension scheme for fee-paid judges is being developed which will offer benefits in line with the current Judicial Pension Scheme. The suggestion is that the new scheme will be implemented in 2015/2016. We are awaiting details of the scheme proposed.
In relation to the pay claims, the MoJ has also recently said that they will change their practices going forward in terms of payments for judgment writing in certain jurisdictions, training day payments, etc. Once this occurs, the time limit for claims will start to run in relation to those entitlements, whether or not fee-paid judges remain in service after that time, They have also stated that that they will make payment of backdated monies owing to those entitled (ie those in jurisdictions which it accepts have an appropriate full-time salaried comparator and where claims, actual or potential, are in time) by about the end of this year, but, as mentioned above, this is not in our opinion a guarantee of payment.
Next steps to enforce any claim
Most claims are currently stayed and the Employment Tribunal is gradually lifting the stay to deal with different aspects of the claims. Issues currently being considered include judgment writing claims for certain jurisdictions, appropriate comparators for those sitting in certain jurisdictions, and just and equitable extension of the time limit arguments specific to particular claimants.
Even if there are no immediate time limit issues affecting your claim, our advice is to lodge a claim sooner rather than later.
We will post further information on this site as and when appropriate. Please note that this is only very general advice and specific advice can be given on request. Chris and his team are also advising salaried judges about challenging the changes to the Judicial Pension Scheme, so if you wish to find out more about those challenges, please contact Shubha Banerjee or Maya Grantham in the first instance.

The else day I was coating my evening meal and in the region of to survey the hottest phase of 24 once the telephone rang. "No problem," I say to myself and smartly short of the interval lever on the Tivo.
I coup d'oeil down and who's on the mobile but Ted - an old soaring seminary pal. Now, this can blast innocuous but, minus informative my age, let's honourable say I hadn't word-of-mouth to Ted in to a certain extent some clip. In fact, it'd been ended ten years since we'd had any interaction.
The spoken communication went something like this:
Me: Hello?
Ted: Geoffrey, hey man, this is Ted, how you been doing?
Me: Fine, and you?
Ted: Great, serious - hey, bear in mind once *blah grandiosity blah*...Ted payoff to speak give or take a few the honour years for the adjacent 10 proceedings.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting in my seat absent to keep watch on 24 and thinking, "Will you retributive secure up and get to the point?"
Eventually Ted says something newmarket voluble roughly the olden and goes in for the kill:
Ted: Hey, listen, it's tremendous to chinwag around the ult and all. In fact, that's why I named you. I ever respected you and wanted your sentiment on something.
It's at this factor that my MLM radio detection and ranging goes off. Yes, all one of us loves to be told we're well-regarded. We besides suchlike to comprehend how more than family warmth us and how our conglomerate acumen is the first article since Donald Trump.
It is, however, altogether out of individuality for peak relatives. Think roughly it for a 2nd...when was the finishing time that you were told by person that they e'er well-regarded you and privation your assessment. Now, once was the ultimate event that happened and they didn't want something?
Because I'm a benevolent person, however, I go ahead and say, "Sure Ted - what do you need?"
At this prickle Ted's thinking, "Woo! I've got a live one here!" He responds, "Well, it's genuinely something we requirement to sit fur and homily give or take a few in individual. It's munificent of a sense modality state of affairs."
Ding, ding, ding, we've got a winner! There's other speech that should be environment off your MLM radio detection and ranging. Yes, quite a few of these property in truth hard work. I suspect, however, that they effort for a particularly miniature minority of the empire who are fortunate in MLM.
Let's obverse it folks, if you deprivation to be gleeful in MLM you've got to be true. Aren't you active to unbroken a bit unnatural once you activate running these phrases to your buddies once you ordinarily call upon em up and ask their view on the phone?

The reason for this is the shutdown processing defaults the port to 1099 if a port isn't supplied. This could be dangerous in the future if a number of geronimos processes are running on a single system because one of them ( e.g. the production system) could be using the default port whilst the others (e.g test systems) could be using customised port numbers. It would be easy for a user to shut down the wrong system. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Fort Meade (AFP) Maryland (AFP) Dec 7, 2012
Another of the military officials who oversaw WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning's detention at a Virginia military prison testified Friday that he was kept on suicide watch for his own protection, never to "punish" him.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Denise Barnes said that shortly after Manning's arrival to the brig at Quantico, she made the decision to keep him on a 24-hour suicide watch.
She testified that she also gave the order that Manning would have to sleep naked in his jail cell every night, after he made a remark that led her to fear he might use his clothing to take his own life.
Manning, 24, is on trial for leaking a trove of military and diplomatic documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, run by Julian Assange.
Barnes is the second prison official in as many days to testify that, far from trying to torment the young army private during his nine-month long detention there, she had Manning's well-being at heart.
On Thursday, James Averhart, the official in charge of the Marine Corps brig at Quantico, said the suspect was held as a "maximum security prisoner" for his own safety.
While in custody at the Virginia marine base, Manning was held under 24-hour suicide watch in a tiny cell and allowed only 20 minutes of sunlight a day.
He was stripped of almost all his clothes at night under strict "prevention of injury" guidelines that military commanders contend were put in place to keep him from harming himself.
His attorneys say the conditions of his detention at Quantico were tantamount to "unlawful pretrial punishment," and were so egregious that the case against him should be dismissed.
Barnes said she developed a fairly good rapport with the inmate.
"We would talk about food, basketball," she said in court.
But she said she was also worried about a sudden change in his demeanor.
"It really shocked me," Barnes said. "At the beginning he was looking at me, joking, laughing."
The much more reserved and stoic affect that Manning later developed surprised her, Barnes said, since earlier "he would have engaged the conversation." This change, she explained, was one reason for not lifting the suicide watch.
Manning was serving in Iraq as a US army intelligence analyst when he was arrested in May 2010. He was sent briefly to a US jail in neighboring Kuwait, before being transferred to the Quantico jail.
After nine months there, he was transferred to a US Army prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in April 2011.
The army private could spend the rest of his life in prison if he is convicted of the charges against him in the case, which include "aiding the enemy," chiefly Al-Qaeda. The case is expected to go to trial in March.

Sensory dynamics transformation into effective motor behavior
Abstracts from the Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013
Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013
How sensory information is transformed into effective motor action is one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience. The intrinsic dynamics of sensory networks can play an important role in the sensory-motor transformation. However, it is difficult to experimentally assess the study of all the stages present in the processing of a sensory-motor transformation. Biophysical models of sensory, central and motor systems can largely contribute to understand the information processing mechanisms involved in this transformation. Nevertheless, because of the lack of experimental results, there are very few models including all these stages to address the transformation of sensory dynamics into a motor program.
Complex intrinsic sensory dynamics can be related to multifunctionality in the sensory-motor transformation. Multifunctionality of neural systems has only been partially addressed in neuroscience research. One remarkable example of relationship between intrinsic sensory dynamics and multifunctionality is the gravimetric organ of the mollusk
These results support the view that the dual dynamics of the statocyst network by itself can explain the two motor programs observed during routine swimming and during hunting behavior in

Stephen J. Markman (born June 4, 1949)[2] is the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. He advocates for judicial restraint and has argued for a more restricted role for the judiciary in matters of public policy.[3]
Markman received his Bachelor of Arts from Duke University in 1971, and he graduated from University of Cincinnati Law School in 1974.[4]
Markman served as Chief Counsel of the United States Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution and as Deputy Chief Counsel of the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary from 1978 to 1985. He was then nominated to be a United States Assistant Attorney General, heading the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy, by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed by the Senate.[1] While serving as Assistant Attorney General, his office wrote a recommendation regarding the issue of possible reconsideration of the Miranda v. Arizona decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. When the Chicago Tribune criticized the recommendation, Markman responded with an opinion piece which the paper published entitled In Defense of Reconsidering Miranda; in this op-ed column, Markman argued for a more flexible interpretation of Miranda to bolster fair treatment of suspects in custody.[5] He wrote:
|The detailed report setting out my office's recommendations emphasized that changes in Miranda should be approached in the context of a general rethinking of policies concerning the questioning of suspects, which could include such reforms as videotaping or recording interrogations, imposing definite time limits on questioning, and prescribing specific rules concerning behavior and demeanor in questioning suspects. Measures like these would go far beyond the Miranda rules in ensuring fair treatment of suspects, but would predictably carry lesser costs to the public`s interest in effective police investigation. Conversely, no real progress can be expected in promoting either of these objectives in the context of custodial questioning so long as the myth persists that the specific procedures suggested in the Miranda decision must be regarded, for unexplained reasons, as sacrosanct and immutable.[5]
After being nominated by George H. W. Bush and approved by the United States Senate, Markman served as a United States Attorney in Michigan from 1989–1993. He joined the private sector firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone in Detroit,[1] where he practiced until he was appointed to the 4th District Michigan Court of Appeals by Governor John Engler in 1995.[6] He held that position until 1999, when Governor Engler appointed him to the Michigan Supreme Court. Michigan voters re-elected him to the position in 2000, 2004, and 2012.[1]
Since 1993, Markman has taught constitutional law at Hillsdale College, where he holds the title of Distinguished Visiting Professor of Politics.[4]
Markman has contributed to numerous legal publications and was a contributing editor at National Review. He is a Fellow of the Michigan Bar Foundation, a Master of the Bench of the Inns of Court. Markman was sent to Ukraine by the State Department to assist in developing the country's post-Soviet constitution.[1]
Judicial philosophy[edit]
Markman has argued against an increased role by the judiciary in matters of public policy and suggested that unless citizens engage in a constitutional debate, public matters will be increasingly decided by judges.[3] In 2008, Markman wrote a piece for the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy saying, "[T]he Michigan Supreme Court has set as its priority the proper exercise of the 'judicial power,' to read the law evenhandedly and give it meaning by assessing its words, its grammar and syntax, its context, and its legislative purpose. The court's dominant premise has been on 'getting the law right'—moving toward the best and most faithful interpretation of the law—rather than reflexively acquiescing in prior case law that essentially reflected little more than the personal preferences of predecessor justices."[7]
In April 2010, Markman published an essay in Hillsdale College's monthly publication, Imprimis, in which he argued against a living constitution with expanded input from judicial governance. Markman prefers an interpretation closer to the 1787 Constitution, and predicts that unless citizens act, justices making under-the-radar decisions on "forgettable and mundane disputes" (as opposed to high–profile decisions such as Roe v. Wade) will steer public policy in directions of their choosing in such areas as "racial quotas, social services funding, and immigration policy." Markman prefers that public policy decisions be made by legislators instead of judges.[3]
Notable Supreme Court decisions[edit]
Domestic partner benefits[edit]
In Pride at work v. Governor of Michigan, the Michigan Supreme Court, in a 5–2 ruling, ruled that Michigan's 2004 gay marriage ban also bars same-sex domestic partners of public employees from receiving health insurance benefits. Markman wrote the majority opinion for the Court where he said that while "marriages and domestic partnerships aren't identical, they are similar."[8]
Ballot petition signatures[edit]
In Michigan Civil Rights Initiative v. Board of State Canvassers, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative should be placed on the November 2008 ballot, even if some petition signers signed the petition under the belief that it was in support of affirmative action. In his opinion, Markman wrote, "The signers of these petitions did not sign the oral representations made to them by circulators; rather they signed written petitions that contained the actual language of the MCRI. ... In carrying out the responsibilities of self-government, 'we the people' of Michigan are responsible for our own actions. In particular, when the citizen acts in what is essentially a legislative capacity by facilitating the enactment of a constitutional amendment, he cannot blame others when he signs a petition without knowing what it says. It is not to excuse misrepresentations, when they occur, to recognize nonetheless that it is the citizen's duty to inform himself about the substance of a petition before signing it, precisely in order to combat potential misrepresentations."[9]
Personal life[edit]
Markman lives in Mason, Michigan with his wife, Mary Kathleen, and their sons Charles and James.[1] Markman is ineligible to run for another term on the Supreme Court due to Michigan's Constitution prohibiting judges that are 70 or older running for office. Markman will be 71 in November 2020, when his seat on the Court is up for election.

|Tipo de imóvel
|Estadia Mínima
|3 noites
A casa está localizada na região de Connamara cerca de 35 milhas a oeste da cidade de Galway. principais atrações incluem as ilhas de Aran, Kylemore Abby e do parque nacional Connamara. A casa foi construída para se parecer com uma casa de campo tradicional, mas tem toda a comodidade de uma casa moderna. Calmo e tranquilo, há uma estação de correios, mercearia e Pub dentro de uma milha da casa.
We (8 members of our family, from 18-65) stayed in the cottage for 4 nights -- we enjoyed the quiet location, exploring local beaches, and finding local pubs. The house was very comfortable and worked well for our group. There is no Wifi or landline and we could not get cell service -- plan ahead with any internet searching you want to do for local sights -- and then enjoy the pleasures of an old-fashioned holiday! From the cottage, we visited Letterfrack Poets' Trail, Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey, Clifden and local towns close by. In rainy weather, we had the excuse to sit indoors and talk over cups of tea and local bread and cake kindly supplied by Mary Berry. A soul reviving place -- we look forward to returning.
We spend week in the beautiful house and used it as a base to explore Galway. The house is large, very well appointed and tastefully decorated. The beds are very comfortable and the quilts wonderful. The fireplace is very cozy and very helpful since it can get chilly. You can see a spectacular sunrise outside your window (I woke up to it one morning at 6:00 am and took lots of pictures). Mary Berry is absolutely wonderful with great advice and a great sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and chatting with her. We hope that we can see her again sometime. One of our favorite hangout places was a little cafe, Bia Blasta in Carraroe. It is close to Tra an Dollin, a coral beach. We spent a wonderful day at the Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey. We visited a very quaint village of Oughterard where we marveled at the gorgeous hydrangeas. We took a day trip to see the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren. We also enjoyed the city of Galway with all its tourist shops and restaurants. Martine's and The Pie Maker were our favorites. The week was definitely too short but we enjoyed every moment and every view.
Our family stayed there for 2 nights in Aug 2016. We brought our 20 year old son and 16 year old daughter. This town is your quintessential Irish town, including the church on the hill with Gaelic mass (Star of the Sea). The house is great, the weather was chilly (we used the fireplace) but it was sunny and we even saw a rainbow. There is a great outdoor patio with a picnic table overlooking the sea. We used this as a home base to visit the Aran Islands (we took a 7 minute flight) which was a great adventure. We also visited a little seaside town about 40 minutes away. But the best of all was having Mary Barry make us a full Irish breakfast one morning, and an Irish Stew dinner one evening. This was much better than going to restaurants (as they are about 30 min away). She was the highlight of our trip, and we felt like we knew her for years. If you want a 'real' Irish experience, this is a perfect spot. We definitely want to go back!
We went on a 10 day vacation to see Ireland, spending half of our time sightseeing and half of our time relaxing in one location. After seeing every shade of green on our way to the cottage, our family had the most relaxing and fun time here. The views are amazing. The home is laid out very nicely and had plenty of room for our family of four, which includes two older children. We started with the board games from the shelves on the first night, that continued thru the week. We walked all around the property and saw so much beauty. We walked to Huston Beach and met friendly people along the way. We took a day trip to Westport and continued on and climbed Croagh Patrick Mountain. Mary Berry, Eamon's mom was such a delight and made us feel so welcome. Our kids loved her stories and suggestions on what to see and do. It was by far, our best vacation ever!
Lovely views from the house! Eamonn's mom Mary was a gem and it was wonderful to have her right next door. We did a day trip to the Aran Islands and loved every minute of it.
My family of six (85 year old mother-in-law, 3 teenagers, my husband and myself) stayed here for 3 nights in August, 2014. The cottage was perfect having both bedrooms and baths on both floors. We visited the Cliffs of Moher on our way to the cottage from the airport. It's a quick drive to the ferry to the Aran Islands. Also visited Galway City. If we stayed one more night Eamonn had given us the name of someone to take us out on kayaks. Eamonn was available to answer any of my questions when planning our trip. The 2 gems of the cottage were Mary, Eamonn's mother who lives nearby and is available to answer any questions. She is so welcoming and bakes an awesome scone. The other gem is the view from the cottage - it's beautiful. I now have my picture of my kids for my Christmas card. Thanks Eamonn and Mary for making our stay so enjoyable.

Searching for a dead relative that may have some unclaimed money that needs to be contested might be one reason to use this service. Looking for old friends who may have passed and you want to offer your condolences to the family (which you have fond memories of when growing up...).
You can search the Social Security Death Master File to per a Social Security Number search to find or verify an individuals death. This, of course, is determined by the fact that the death was registered with the Social Security System in the first place. Some additional searches you apply to help dig up as much information about someone include:
People Search
Real Property Ownership Saerch
Unclaimed Money Search
There are undoubtedly some strange stories assocaited with death searches. Investigators who do this for a living would have some real tails to tell for sure.
By searching for and then discovering an active death certificates should allow a person to clear up any missing or mis-information regarding their personal or business interests. You can also use the following searches to help coordinate your efforts:

When Sokka takes the kids out for the day, he lets them fight off a bad guy.
It's yet another peaceful morning in Republic City. Aang wakes up, and stretches while yawning. He looks to his side and notices Katara isn't on her side of the bed. He gets out of bed and walks down the hall.
Aang: Katara!
Katara: *from the living room with a rag in her hand* Good morning sweetie!
Aang: Have you been cleaning?
Katara: Yeah why?
Aang: For how long?
Katara: I don't know, all night probably.
Aang:*in concern* All night? Katara, please take a break, Zuko may be the Firelord, but he's our friend. If the house isn't perfect he won't be mad.
Katara: I know, but I feel like I need to clean, he is royalty after all and we don't know how much he's changed since the last time we've seen him.
Sokka wakes up from the sounds of Aang and Katara's voices. He turns his head to them.
Sokka: Good morning everyone! *looks at the kitchen sink* Wow, did you take care of the dishes Katara? That was my job!
Katara: I know but--
Aang: But she felt like it was her job instead, maybe you could take the kids out for the day and entertain them so they don't make a mess.
Sokka: Okay.*yelling at the kids* Kids! Uncle Sokka is going to take you for a day out!
Kya, Bumi, Tenzin and Lin rush out of their rooms and run to Sokka.
Lin: You aren't my uncle!
Sokka: Well today I am! *yells to Toph* Toph?
Toph walks from out of the guest room, rubbing her eye.
Toph: What?
Sokka: Is it okay if I take Lin with Aang & Katara's kids on a day out?
Toph: Sure, just don't turn her into a mini version of you!
Sokka: I won't!
Sokka and the kids walk outside and they all climb on Appa. Sokka settles the kids on the saddle and places himself on the head of the bison.
Sokka: Yip yip!
Appa takes off into the sky and flies towards Republic City. Back inside the temple, Toph watches the bison fly towards the city and turns back to Aang and Katara.
Toph: Well I gotta go anyway.
Aang: Where are you going?
Toph: Zuko could be here any day now, my officers need to be instructed where to go. We can't have anyone kill Zuko. See ya! *walks out the door*
There is a short, awkward silence in the house. Aang tries to break it.
Aang: Well, now it's just you and me, alon--
He turns to Katara, who is in a chair in the living room, sleeping and snoring. Aang smiles. He walks over to the couch which has a blanket balled up in the corner and wraps it around her. He kisses her forehead and looks at her with adoration in his eyes.
Aang: Don't worry sweetie, I'll take care of the house.
Meanwhile, on Appa, Sokka and the kids are flying with no one speaking. Bumi breaks the silence.
Bumi: Where are we going Uncle Sokka?
Sokka: I'm taking you to get some breakfast, I don't know about all of you, but I'm starving!
Kya: You're always starving.
Lin: *looks to the ground and points* Sokka! There's a guy down there beating up a shopkeeper!
Sokka: *Sokka looks down and sees a guy getting beaten up* So there is. Hey kids, how would you like to fight a bad guy today?
Bumi: I don't know, I'm not a bender.
Sokka: Neither am I, but I've kicked butt over the years, come on, *Sokka turns Appa around and Appa lands on the ground near the scene* You mister, you better stop that!
Guy: Stop what?
Sokka: Stop what? Stop terrorizing this shopkeeper!
Guy: Oh yeah, you and what army?
Sokka: Oh, only the army of Councilman Sokka and Team Avatar's kids!
Tenzin: Is that the best you could come up with?
Sokka: I'll think of something later!
Guy: *sarcastically* Ooo I'm so scared of a council member and a bunch of kids in training!
Sokka: You're going to regret you ever said that! Tenzin, airbend!
Tenzin airbends a huge gust of air towards the bad guy, causing him to fall over.
Sokka: Lin, earthbend around him!
Lin earthbends a huge earthbelt around him tightly.
Sokka: Kya! waterbend his mouth shut!
Kya waterbends some water from the ground and waterbends it onto the bad guys' mouth, freezing it onto his lips.
Sokka: Now Bumi, this is the part where the nonbenders say something to make him angry.
Bumi: Like what?
Sokka: In your face! Now go lets go get the shopkeeper
Sokka and the kids go inside the shop to look for the shopkeeper. Sokka finds him laying on the ground with dozens on cuts and bruises all over his body. Sokka and Bumi help him get on his feet.
Sokka: Are you alright sir?
Shopkeeper: I'm fine, but I don't have an alarm yet to make the burglar's go away.
Sokka: Don't worry sir, we'll get you an alarm.
Toph and her guards show up to the scene. She walks inside, feeling the vibrations, she knows Sokka and the kids are there.
Toph: What are you doing here Sokka?
Sokka: Oh just helping this guy from a burglar.
Toph: Did you let the kids fight?
Sokka: Well yeah, but your daughter did fantastic! She'll be a great earthbender like you one day.
Toph: I'm am so proud of you Lin *hugs Lin tightly*
Lin: Thanks mommy.
Toph: Oh and we got news saying that Zuko will be here by tomorrow, I think we should go back to Aang and Katara's place and let them know.
Sokka: Everyone get back on Appa! We have to tell Aang and Katara something!
Tenzin: What's the news Uncle Sokka?
Sokka: Zuko is going to be here by tomorrow.
Sokka, Toph, and the kids climb on Appa. Toph and the kids sit on the saddle and Sokka sits on the head.
Sokka: Yip yip!
Appa takes off into the sky flying across Yue Bay, landing on Air Temple Island. Sokka, Toph, and the kids rush to the door of the temple, and Sokka barges in.
Sokka: Aang! Katara!
Aang: Shh! You'll wake up Katara!
Sokka: Aang, I know my sister, she can sleep through anything, but only when she's really tired.
Aang: What's going on?
Sokka: Zuko will be coming by tomorrow.
Aang: That's great.
Kya: Dad! We fought off this guy threatening a shopkeeper!
Aang: You let them fight? I told you to take them out for a day, go to a park, get some food, but not fight!
Sokka: The guy didn't even fight them! I just told them what to do and everything worked out perfectly!
Tenzin: I airbended him to the ground!
Lin: I earthbended him in all around his body so he couldn't escape!
Kya: I waterbended his mouth shut!
Bumi: And Uncle Sokka and I helped with the shopkeeper afterwards!
Sokka: It reminded me of the good days when we were Team Avatar, and we still are Team Avatar!
Aang: Well, how could I not be proud of my kids for fighting crime? *Grabs his kids and hugs them all tightly together* So if this house is going to be as perfect as Katara wants it to be, we should clean until nightfall.
Sokka: Will there be food breaks?
Aang: Of course. Come on everyone lets clean!
As the hours go by, Aang, Sokka, Toph and the kids clean the temple until every inch of it is clean. It's nightfall. Everyone is exhausted.
Aang: Thank you so much for helping me clean, Katara is going to be so happy when she wakes up.
Katara: *wakes up* I fell asleep! Have I've been out all day?
Aang: Yeah, but don't worry Katara, everyone helped clean the house to perfection.
Katara: *looks around in amazement of how clean the house looks* It is perfect! *jumps into Aang's arms* Thank you so much everyone! *everyone forms a group hug* Zuko is going to be so happy.
Sokka: Yeah, well I'm tired, I'm just going to sit down *sits down in the same chair from the previous night* and-- *starts snoring*
Toph: Well, I gotta go work out the police stuff, bye! *leaves with Lin*
Aang: Oh, and Katara. Zuko is coming tomorrow.
Katara: Good, because this house can't get any more perfect.
Katara gives Aang a kiss on the cheek, causing his face to turn pink.
Aang: Well, I'm going to bed, you coming?
Katara: I just woke up, I'm not tired at all. I think I'll just eat something and go to bed later.
Aang: Okay.
Katara: Good night sweetie. I love you.
Aang: I love you too. *goes into bedroom*
Meanwhile, on Zuko's Fire Nation ship, Zuko is standing on the ships deck looking at the water in front of him, thinking. His daughter walks out, but stops a few yards away from him.
Zuko's Daughter: Dad! Are you coming to bed?
Zuko: Yes, but I just want to prepare you for something.
Zuko's Daughter: What is it?
Zuko: People don't like the Firelord, so don't be surprised if we have to go into battle when we arrive.

Hydraulic systems are used to actuate the brakes of all modern automotive vehicles. A hydraulic system rather than a mechanical system is used for two reasons. First, fluid under pressure can be carried to all parts of an automobile by small hoses-some of which are flexible-without taking up a significant amount of room or posing routing problems. Second, a great mechanical advantage can be given to the brake pedal, and the foot pressure required to actuate the brakes can be reduced by making the surface area of the master cylinder pistons smaller than that of any of the pistons in the wheel cylinders or calipers.
The master cylinder consists of a fluid reservoir and a single or double cylinder and piston assembly. Double (or dual) master cylinders are designed to separate the front and rear braking systems hydraulically in case of a leak. The master cylinder coverts mechanical motion from the pedal into hydraulic pressure within the lines. This pressure is translated back into mechanical motion at the wheels by either the wheel cylinder (drum brakes) or the caliper (disc brakes). Since these components receive the pressure from the master cylinder, they are generically classed as slave cylinders in the system.
Steel lines carry the brake fluid to a point on the vehicle's frame near each of the vehicle's wheels. The fluid is then carried to the slave cylinders by flexible tubes in order to allow for suspension and steering movements.
Each wheel cylinder contains two pistons, one at either end, which push outward in opposite directions and force the brake shoe into contact with the drum. In disc brake systems, the slave cylinders are part of the calipers. One, two or four cylinders are used to force the brake pads against the disc, but all cylinders contain one piston only. All slave cylinder pistons employ some type of seal, usually made of rubber, to minimize the leakage of fluid around the piston. A rubber dust boot seals the outer end of the cylinder against dust and dirt. The boot fits around the outer end of either the piston or the brake actuating rod.
When at rest the entire hydraulic system, from the piston(s) in the master cylinder to those in the wheel cylinders or calipers, is full of brake fluid. Upon application of the brake pedal, fluid trapped in front of the master cylinder piston(s) is forced through the lines to the slave cylinders. Here it forces the pistons outward, in the case of drum brakes, and inward toward the disc in the case of disc brakes. The motion of the pistons is opposed by return springs mounted outside the cylinders in drum brakes, and by internal springs or spring seals, in disc brakes.
Upon release of the brake pedal, a spring located inside the master cylinder immediately returns the master cylinder piston(s) to the normal position. The pistons contain check valves and the master cylinder has compensating ports drilled within it. These are uncovered as the pistons reach their normal position. The piston check valves allow fluid to flow toward the wheel cylinders or calipers as the pistons withdraw. As the return springs force the brake pads or shoes into the released position, the excess fluid in the lines is allowed to re-enter the reservoir through the compensating ports.
Dual circuit master cylinders employ two pistons, located one behind the other, in the same cylinder. The primary piston is actuated directly by mechanical linkage from the brake pedal. The secondary piston is actuated by fluid trapped between the two pistons. If a leak develops in front of the secondary pistons, it moves forward until it bottoms against the front of the master cylinder, and the fluid trapped between the pistons will operate the rear brakes. If the rear brakes develop a leak, the primary piston will move forward until direct contact with the secondary piston takes place, and it will force the secondary piston to actuate the front brakes. In either case, the brake pedal moves farther when the brakes are applied and less braking power is available.
All dual-circuit systems incorporate a switch which senses either line pressure or fluid level. This system will warn the driver when only half of the brake system is operational.
In some disc brake systems, this valve body also contains a metering valve and, in some cases, a proportioning valve. The metering valve keeps pressure from traveling to the disc brakes on the front wheels until the brake shoes on the rear wheels have contacted the drum, ensuring that the front brakes will never be used alone. The proportioning valve controls the pressure to the rear brakes avoiding rear wheel lock-up during very hard braking.
Instead of the traditional expanding brakes that press outward against a circular drum, disc brake systems employ a cast iron disc with brake pads positioned on either side of it. An easily seen analogy is the hand brake arrangement on a bicycle. The pads squeeze onto the rim of the bike wheel, slowing its motion. Automobile disc brakes use the identical principal but apply the braking effort to a separate disc instead of the wheel.
The disc or rotor is a one-piece casting mounted just inside the wheel. Some discs are one solid piece while others have cooling fins between the two braking surfaces. These vented rotors enable air to circulate between the braking surfaces cooling them quicker and making them less sensitive to heat buildup and fade. Disc brakes are only slightly affected by dirt and water since contaminants are thrown off by the centrifugal action of the rotor or scraped off by the pads. Also, the equal clamping action of the two brake pads tend to ensure uniform, straight-line stops, although unequal application of the pads between the left and right wheels can cause a vicious pull under braking. All disc brakes are inherently self-adjusting.There are three general types of disc brakes:
- Fixed caliper
- Sliding caliper
- Floating caliper
The fixed caliper design uses two pistons mounted on either side of the rotor (in each side of the caliper). The caliper is mounted rigidly and does not move. This is a very efficient brake system but the size of the caliper and its mounts adds weight and bulk to the car.
The sliding and floating designs are quite similar. In fact, these two types are often lumped together. In both designs, one pad is moved into contact with the rotor by hydraulic force. The caliper, which is not held in a fixed position, moves slightly on its mount, bringing the other pad into contact with the rotor. There are various methods of attaching floating calipers. Some pivot at the bottom or top, and some slide on mounting bolts. Many uneven brake wear problems can be caused by dirty or seized slides and pivots.
Drum brakes employ two brake shoes mounted on a stationary backing plate. These shoes are positioned inside a circular cast iron drum which rotates with the wheel. The shoes are held in place by springs; this allows them to slide toward the drum (when they are applied) while keeping the linings and drums in alignment.
The shoes are actuated by a wheel cylinder which is mounted at the top of the backing plate. When the brakes are applied, hydraulic pressure forces the wheel cylinder's two actuating links outward. Since these links bear directly against the top of the brake shoes, the tops of the shoes are then forced outward against the inside of the drum. This action forces the bottoms of the two shoes to contact the brake drum by rotating the entire assembly slightly (known as servo action). When the pressure within the wheel cylinder is relaxed, return springs pull the shoes away from the drum.
Most modern drum brakes are designed to self-adjust during application when the vehicle is moving in reverse. This motion causes both shoes to rotate very slightly with the drum, rocking an adjusting lever and thereby causing rotation of the adjusting screw via a star wheel. This on-board adjustment system reduces the need for maintenance adjustments but most drivers don't back up enough to keep the brakes properly set.
Power brakes operate just as non-power brake systems except in the actuation of the master cylinder pistons. A vacuum diaphragm is located on the front of the master cylinder and assists the driver in applying the brakes, reducing both the effort and travel he must put into moving the brake pedal.
The vacuum diaphragm housing is connected to the intake manifold by a vacuum hose. A check valve is placed at the point where the hose enters the diaphragm housing, so that during periods of low manifold vacuum brake assist vacuum will not be lost.
Depressing the brake pedal closes off the vacuum source and allows atmospheric pressure to enter on one side of the diaphragm. This causes the master cylinder pistons to move and apply the brakes. When the brake pedal is released, vacuum is applied to both sides of the diaphragm, and return springs return the diaphragm and master cylinder pistons to the released position. If the vacuum fails, the brake pedal rod will butt against the end of the master cylinder actuating rod, and direct mechanical application will occur as the pedal is depressed.
The hydraulic and mechanical problems that apply to conventional brake systems also apply to power brakes, and should be checked for if the tests below do not reveal the problem.Test for a system vacuum leak as described below:
- Operate the engine at idle without touching the brake pedal for at least one minute.
- Turn off the engine, and wait one minute.
- Test for the presence of assist vacuum by depressing the brake pedal and releasing it several times. Light application will produce less and less pedal travel, if vacuum was present. If there is no vacuum, air is leaking into the system somewhere.
- Pump the brake pedal (with engine off) until the supply vacuum is entirely gone.
- Put a light, steady pressure on the pedal.
- Start the engine, and operate it at idle. If the system is operating, the brake pedal should fall toward the floor if constant pressure is maintained on the pedal.
Power brake systems may be tested for hydraulic leaks just as ordinary systems are tested.
