The employment relationship In this booklet you will look at: •• the basic purpose of employment agreements •• what should be in an employment agreement •• where to go for help with employment agreements. When you buy something there is an exchange. You pay your money and you receive goods in exchange. The idea of exchange is central to all contracts. People enter into contracts all the time – they buy cars, they post letters, they hire tradespeople. The employment relationship is also based on a contract between the employer and the employee. Typically, an employment contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange work and wages. To work effectively in the long term, the employment relationship must be based on fairness and trust. The relationship will not work if one party misuses a position of relative power. All employment relationships are governed by the Employment Relations Act 2000 which refers to employment contracts as 'employment agreements'. The minimum requirements of this Act apply to all employment situations, even if work conditions have not been discussed.
Employment agreements
The main purpose of employment agreements is to promote good employment relationships between employers and employees. There are two types of employment agreement you can enter – collective or individual.
Collective agreements
A collective agreement covers two or more employees who are union members. A collective agreement has no upper limit on the number of people who can be part of it. Only registered unions and employees can bargain for collective agreements. Collective agreements must be in writing and: •• make clear who is covered by the agreement •• have formal start and finish dates; that is, all collective agreements must have an expiry date – after which a new agreement has to be negotiated •• indicate services available to sort out employment problems.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
The employment relationship
Individual agreements
These are agreements between one employee and one employer. Individual agreements must be in writing and include: •• the names of the employer and the employee •• a description of the work •• an indication of where the employee will work •• an indication of work hours •• wage rate or salary level •• services available to sort out potential problems. Individual agreements don't have to have a formal start and finish date, but these can be included. An individual agreement can just start when you start the job and then finish when you leave. 1a
1. Give two differences between an individual agreement and a collective agreement. 2. Both collective and individual agreements must be in writing. Why do you think this is the case? Check the answer guide.
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Negotiating an agreement Entering an agreement
When you are offered a job your employer must tell you: •• whether or not there is a collective agreement in the workplace •• that you can join the union and the collective agreement if there is one •• that you can negotiate your own individual agreement. If there is a collective agreement covering your workplace you can join the union and be covered by the conditions in that agreement. You don't have to join the collective agreement – you can negotiate your own individual agreement.
Negotiating an agreement
Collective agreements
Employees will often belong to a trade union which will negotiate a collective agreement for its members. As a member you don't take part in the actual bargaining – the union does this for you.
Individual agreements
An employee and an employer can work out an agreement between themselves. In this situation an employer would probably give you a draft agreement to look at. You would then either agree to that or ask the employer to make changes.
You can get other people to help negotiate your agreement. If you are a young person you can get an adult to help you negotiate. When an employer offers you a job they must give you a copy of the individual employment agreement and advise you that you can get advice on the agreement.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
Negotiating an agreement
If you are older and applying for an important position you may get a lawyer who specialises in employment law or an industrial negotiator to negotiate your agreement. All agreements must be negotiated in 'good faith'. That is, employers and employees must deal with each other openly and honestly.
Fair bargaining
The employer and employee must bargain in a fair way. Unfair employment agreements can be cancelled and the employee given compensation. 2a
1. Suggest two ways an individual employment agreement could be negotiated. 2. Who are the parties in a collective agreement? 3. Suggest a way a collective agreement would be negotiated. 4. Which type of agreement do you think is easier to negotiate? Why? Check the answer guide.
Š te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
What's in an agreement? Employment agreements can include anything the parties like as long as it is lawful. However, there are a number of minimum legal requirements that must be in all employment agreements. These minimum requirements apply to all employees whether they have been included in the employment agreement or not. Employers and employees cannot agree to do away with any of these, but they can agree to better provisions. The minimum requirements cover the following issues: •• minimum wages •• annual leave •• statutory and public holidays •• special leave •• parental leave •• leave for defence volunteers.
Minimum wages
The government sets the minimum wage rates that all employees over the age of 16 are to be paid. This rate is regularly reviewed. By law, employers must pay at least the minimum wage. Since April 2013, there is a Starting Out wage for young people aged 16 to 19 to be paid 80 percent of the adult minimum wage. This is for the first six months of their employment after which they must get the adult minimum wage. There is no minimum wage for employees under 16. This minimum wage also applies to employees who are paid by commission or piece rate. It applies to all types of jobs including home workers.
Payment of wages
Your employment agreement should also include: •• how often your wages will be paid: for example, weekly, fortnightly •• which day of the week your wages will be paid. It may be important for you to have enough time to get to the bank before the weekend. Most employees have the right to be paid in cash or by cheque; however, these days most people are paid by direct credit to a bank account.
Deductions from wages
Generally employers should not make deductions from their employees' wages except in some circumstances, for example tax, child support or student loan repayments. But you can agree to your employer making deductions, for example, for union fees or medical insurance schemes. © te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
What's in an agreement?
Equality Equal pay
Male and female employees must be paid the same wage for the same job.
Equal opportunity
Employers cannot discriminate in hiring and firing, training opportunities or promotions on the grounds of sex, colour, race, ethnic group, disability, marital or family status, religion, age, political beliefs or sexual orientation. 3a
1. Why do you think the law states minimum working conditions? 2. Contact the Department of Labour on their 0800 number or refer to www.dol.govt.nz or www.ers.govt.nz
What is the current minimum wage rate for employees: a. under 16 years? b. 16 years and over? c. What is the Starting Out wage introduced in April 2013?
3. What is the minimum wage you are entitled to? 4. Your employer won't give you a promotion because you have three children and he is worried you might have too much time off looking after them. Is this legal? Why/why not? Check the answer guide.
Your employment agreement must give you the minimum number of holidays and other types of leave employees are entitled to.
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
What's in an agreement?
Annual leave
All employees, whether they are full-time or part-time, temporary, permanent or casual, are entitled to paid annual leave (holidays). Since April 2007, an employee is entitled to four weeks paid annual holidays. The leave can be taken at any time agreed between the employer and the employee. Employees must be given the opportunity to take at least two of the four weeks leave in a continuous period, if they wish to do so. You must also be allowed to take your leave when it is due, but if for some reason you can't, you do not lose the leave.
Holiday pay
You should be paid your holiday pay before your holiday starts and the amount should either be: •• your normal weekly pay or •• an average of your weekly earnings. If you leave the job before you take any holidays you are entitled to be paid any holiday pay due.
Sick leave
After six months employment employees are allowed five days sick leave a year. These days can be carried forward if not used and can be accumulated up to 20 days at least. Sick leave can be used when the employee, their spouse or a person who depends on them is sick or injured.
Bereavement leave
An employee is allowed up to three days bereavement leave for the death of a spouse, de facto spouse, parent, child, brother, sister, grandparent, parent-in-law or grandchild. (Before the Holidays Act 2003, sick leave and bereavement leave were lumped together under a special leave allowance.)
Parental leave
Paid parental leave is available for 13 weeks. Up to 12 months unpaid leave is allowed on the birth or adoption of a baby. This leave can be shared by both partners. To qualify for this type of leave you must have worked at least 10 hours a week for 12 months, for the same employer.
Defence volunteer leave
If you do volunteer training in the armed forces, for example the army, you can have unpaid leave to do this training.
Public holidays
You are also entitled to 11 paid public holidays per year when these days fall on a day you would normally work. These public holidays include, among others, Waitangi Day, Anzac Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Labour Day.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
What's in an agreement?
The observance of these days can vary depending on the employment contract. The Holidays Act 2003, which came into force in April 2004, requires employers to pay staff time-and-a-half plus a day off in lieu, for each public holiday they work. 3b
1. Do the following situations meet the minimum requirements for an employment agreement? a. Marie, aged 20, is offered a job which pays $230 for a 40-hour week. b. Cath's employment agreement allows her to have five days sick leave a year. c. Cath's agreement says she cannot use those five days to look after a sick family member. 2. In the section on public holidays, five of the 11 were mentioned. Can you think of two other public holidays that are allowed? Check the answer guide.
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Other inclusions So far you have been looking at what must be included in an employment agreement. In addition to these minimum legal requirements there are a range of other matters that employees and employers may want to include in the employment agreement. Employment agreements typically include clauses on: •• wages •• hours of work •• job description •• performance and conduct •• ending the agreement.
Wages Pay rates
The employer and employee might want to negotiate: •• the pay rate if it is more than the minimum •• how wages will be calculated, for example, salary, commission, piece rate.
Pay review
Employees may want the amount they are paid to be reviewed at regular intervals. This can be negotiated with the employer. You may also want to agree on what criteria the review will be based.
Pay deductions
You might want to include in your agreement any deductions you would like your employer to make from your wages. Legally your employer can only deduct tax, child support and student loan repayments. But you might like to voluntarily have your union fees or medical insurance payments deducted, too.
Hours of work and breaks
Apart from matters relating to pay there are other things employers and employees can consider when they are negotiating the contract. Some workplaces set out specific hours to be worked, for example, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Others allow a range of options. You may be required to be at work 40 hours per week but you can work these hours any time between 7.00 am and 6.00 pm each day. So you may wish to negotiate: •• hours worked each day •• starting and finishing times •• which days of the week you will work •• when any rest breaks should be taken and for how long, for example, 15 minutes for morning tea and 30 minutes for lunch.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
Other inclusions
Job description
You may wish to negotiate the general duties you will be required to do. If you make an employment contract to mow someone's lawns, the job would probably also include clearing away the lawn clippings, trimming the edges and perhaps cleaning the mower. You should be clear about what you have to do right from the start.
Performance and conduct
Some jobs have to be done to a particular standard. For example, an employer might require a typist to be able to type at so many words per minute. The required rate could be negotiated and included in the agreement.
Other employers may require that employees have a general standard of conduct. For example, in a job that requires a lot of public contact, the employer might want the employee to always be positive and friendly towards the customers. This requirement could be included in a contract. 4a
Stephen is a waiter in a downtown restaurant. 1. Suggest the days of the week and the hours of the day that would most likely be in his contract. 2. Suggest a specific standard of performance he might have to achieve. 3. What general standard of conduct might be in his contract? Check the answer guide.
Š te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Other inclusions
Ending the job
Employment agreements can also include provisions for ending the job. In fact many problems can be avoided if employers and employees agree at the beginning how the job will end. Some of the things that can be considered in relation to ending the agreement include resignation, retirement, dismissal and redundancy.
Generally employees can resign at any time. The employer and employee should agree as to how much notice needs to be given if the employee decides to leave or is dismissed. Both should also consider what will happen if the notice is not given. For example, wages could be paid to a dismissed employee instead of having them work out the notice.
There is no set age at which employees must retire. However, employees might want to negotiate a retirement age and some sort of retirement payment.
The employment agreement can also include: •• circumstances that would result in a dismissal •• what steps should be taken before an employee is dismissed. There must be a good reason for any dismissal and the dismissal must be carried out fairly. Employees should be told if there is any problem with their performance and be given an opportunity to improve. If not, the employee may be able to take a personal grievance against the employer.
Redundancy is when the job an employee does is no longer available or when the employer genuinely can't afford to employ that person any more. You may wish to negotiate some redundancy payment should this happen to your job.

Rights and responsibilities Employee rights
The Employment Relations Act gives employees certain minimum rights. You have already looked at some of these in relation to employment agreements. There are a few other rights that the Employment Relations Act and other legislation gives you. These are: •• you have the right to belong or not belong to a union •• you have the right to have someone else help negotiate your agreement
•• you are entitled to a copy of your employment agreement •• if you are dismissed you are entitled to get a written statement explaining why you were dismissed •• if you think the dismissal is unjustified you can contact the Employment Relations Service for help •• you can use the Employment Relations Service for help with any other problems you may have with your employer •• you have the right to a safe workplace •• you cannot be discriminated against by race, gender, ethnic origin, marital or family status, age, religion or ethical beliefs
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Rights and responsibilities
•• you have the right to be free of unwanted or offensive sexual behaviour.
Employee responsibilities
As an employee, you have certain responsibilities you must meet. These include: •• doing the work you have been employed to do •• keeping to the employment agreement you signed; for example, if you agreed that your hours will be 9am to 4pm, these are the hours you must work •• obeying lawful and reasonable orders •• taking care of the employer's property •• serving honestly and faithfully.
Fair treatment
Both employers and employees must treat each other fairly. The concept of 'fair' in law is based on 'what a reasonable person would do'. 5a
Are these statements true or false? 1. Your employment agreement can require you to be a member of a union. 2. Your employer has to give you a copy of your employment agreement. 3. Mere can refuse to mop the floors even though she agreed to do this in her original agreement. 4. Mere's boss can change her work hours to 10am to 4pm instead of 9am to 3pm if he wants to. Check the answer guide. © te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
Help with agreements Employers and employees will sometimes need help when negotiating an employment agreement. There are several places they can go to get help.
Employment Relations Service
The Department of Labour's Employment Relations Service can provide information about rights and responsibilities. You have looked at some of these rights and responsibilities in this booklet, but if you need any further information about negotiating an agreement you can contact the Employment Relations Service. Both employers and employees can contact this service for advice and information. Service provided: advice and information only, it won't actually negotiate your agreement for you. Contact details: •• phone: 0800 800 863 •• email: email@example.com •• website: www.ers.dol.govt.nz Cost: this service is provided free.
Employers' associations
There are employers' associations in all regions. Business NZ (formed from a merger of the New Zealand Employers Federation and the New Zealand Manufacturers Federation) is the main organisation available to give information and advice to employers. Service provided: advice and information only, it won't actually negotiate an agreement. Contact details for all regions: •• www.businessnz.org.nz •• local phone numbers are listed in the telephone book. Cost: employers pay a fee to belong to Business NZ.
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Help with agreements
Most workplaces will have at least one union that is available to help employees. If you join the union you will join a collective agreement that the union has already negotiated with the employer. Service provided: negotiate agreements for members. Their services are not available to non-union members. Contact details: The Council of Trade Unions (CTU) keeps a list of all unions, so you can find a suitable union to join by ringing 04 385 1334 or by looking at their website www.union.org.nz under 'Find a union'. Cost: members pay a fee to belong to the union.
Advice centres
There are a variety of advice centres such as community law centres and Citizens Advice Bureaux.
Service provided: information about employment agreements, they don't negotiate agreements. Contact details: local phone numbers in phone book. Cost: community advice centres are free.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u

Help with problems Sometimes employers and employees will have problems in the employment relationship. The employee may not be carrying out their duties properly and the employer wants to dismiss them, or the employee thinks they are being treated unfairly or discriminated against.
Firstly, employees and employers should try to solve any problems they may have themselves. If they can't, there are organisations that can help. The Employment Relations Service and the Employment Relations Authority are specialist bodies which help sort out problems between employers and employees.
You may be able to sort out the problem without going to the Employment Relations Service or Employment Relations Authority.
Talk to each other
Employers and employees should try to sort out any problems by talking to each other. Remember that you will want to continue working together so it is best to solve problems without taking them any further. However, if you can't solve the problem yourselves ask for advice. Employees could contact their union, a community law centre, Citizens Advice Bureau, an industrial relations consultant or a lawyer. Employers could contact Business NZ, a consultant or a lawyer. Both employers and employees can contact the Employment Relations Service for advice.

Help with problems
Employment Relations Service
If the employer and the employee can't reach an agreement themselves they can contact the Employment Relations Service. The Employment Relations Service is run by a government department – the Department of Labour. The Employment Relations Service can provide: •• information about rights and obligations •• help with employment problems •• mediation services.
The Employment Relations Service provides information about employer and employee rights and obligations. Often when people have the correct information they can then come to an agreement.
However, if the employer and the employee still can't come to an agreement and solve the problem, the Employment Relations Service will recommend mediation. Mediation is when the employer and employee get together with an impartial person to discuss the problem. The mediator helps the parties negotiate and compromise to reach a solution which is satisfactory to everyone concerned. There is no cost to use the Employment Relations Service mediators.
If the employer and the employee reach an agreement through mediation the decision is binding on both parties. The decision cannot be appealed to the Employment Authority or the Employment Court.
© te ah o o te k u ra p ou n a mu
Help with problems
You may want a representative such as a lawyer or union official to help you in the mediation process. The cost of this would depend on the type of representative you chose. For example, if you are a member of a union then the union provides you with this type of help at no extra cost other than your union fee. You have to pay a lawyer whatever fee they charge. 7a
1. What is the Employment Relations Service? 2. Give two ways the Employment Relations Service helps to resolve employment problems. 3. In your own words, explain mediation. Check the answer guide.
Employment Relations Authority
If mediation can't solve the problem then it can be taken to the Employment Relations Authority. The Employment Relations Authority is an investigative body that operates in an informal way. It looks into the facts of the case and can make a decision which is binding on both parties. It does this by: •• calling for evidence from the parties or other people •• holding investigation meetings •• interviewing the parties or other people. It can tell the parties to try mediation. Again, the service provided by the Employment Relations Authority is free but employers and employees would have to pay for any representatives they use.
Employment Court
If the employer or employee is unhappy with the Employment Authority's decision they can take their case to the Employment Court for a full hearing.
© te ah o o t e k ur a p o un a m u
Help with problems
Anyone who has a case that needs to go to the Employment Court needs to use an expert such as an employment lawyer. The Employment Court works in much the same way as the other courts in the judicial system. The following table summarises what to do with an employment problem. The dispute procedures are intended to be accessible and low-cost, but eventually may become more formal and include lawyers.
Resolving an employment problem 1. Employee or employer checks the facts and clarifies that there is a problem. 2. Employee and employer try to resolve problem themselves. 3. If not resolved they get outside help, such as from a union. 4. If problem still not resolved either party can apply to the Employment Relations Service for mediation. 5. If mediation cannot solve the problem then it can go to the Employment Relations Authority for investigation and a decision. 7b
1. a What is the Employment Relations Authority? b. How can it help with employment problems? c. How much does it cost to use the Employment Relations Service? 2. Are the following statements true or false? a. An agreement made through mediation can be challenged in the Employment Court. b. Agreements made in mediation are binding on both employers and employees. c. If you don't agree with a decision made by the Employment Relations Authority you can take the case to the Employment Court. Check the answer guide.

EIPF helps disabled individuals get the assistance they need to become independent. Each person is assigned an Advocate who assists them in discovering new life skills, training, resources and emotional support. An advocate understands each individual unique needs and tailors the relationship to help them get the resources that were otherwise not readily available. An Advocate can assist in helping the individual to make his or her home disabled friendly, train them in unique ways to live normally with their disability to helping to find hand controls and training to drive a car. In 2007, Judy Craig, the Founder and Executive Director of EIPF had a spinal stroke leaving her totally disabled. It was through her personal frustration and then perseverance that she found there are resources available to help disabled individuals to live a normal, fulfilling life. As someone who loves to help people, she wanted to give back by creating EIPF and providing Advocates, resources and tools so that everyone could realize that Everything Is Possible.
EIPF provides advocates to and for disabled individuals who need assistance in becoming independent and want to increase the quality of their life. The first step to getting assistance is to apply to the foundation. An advocate will be assigned to the applicant. The advocate will assist the individual in learning skills and getting training, finding resources to get much needed equipment such as hand controls for vehicles, making a home handicap friendly and even serve as a life coach and emotional support. EIPF provides extensive training for the advocates to best assist each individual for his or her needs.
If you are interested in becoming an EIPF Advocate, please contact us.
If you would like to donate to the Everything Is Possible Foundation, please mail your tax deductible contribution to: Everything Is Possible Foundation 1702 N. Woodland Blvd. Suites 116-118 DeLand Florida 32720

Henry One of my best friends from sixth grade, it was so long ago that you left us too soon. No rhyme or reason and without provocation, you appeared in my dreams last week and continue to linger in my thoughts. Bittersweet, happy memories surprise me from day to day and my memories of you have not faded with time; your sandy blonde hair, your fair complexion, the funny way you crossed your arms, and your voice is as clear to me today as it was back then. A soft-spoken, gentle soul, a sweet giggle that I can still hear from days on the playground as we played under the sassafras tree. Missing you, my friend, has become easier over time even though it's one day farther from the last time that I saw you, but it's one day closer to the next time that I'll see you!

Auckland is one of the biggest cities in New Zealand's north island. Cosmopolitan with natural surrounds, Auckland is a unique city with a wide range of fun things to do and attractions. Whether you're headed to the city for a short city break or a longer holiday, you won't find time to get bored in the Land of the White Cloud.
Read on to find out 5 things to do in Auckland and start planning your trip to New Zealand!
One Tree Hill
Auckland is surrounded by volcanoes, with over 40 ancient volcanic cones dotted around the city. Take a walk through One Tree Hill, an 182-metre volcanic peak to the east of Auckland CBD. Climb to the top for a full 360 degree view of Auckland and both of the city's sparkling harbours. The site is also home to the grave of John Logan Campbell and holds great significance for New Zealanders and Maori cultures.
Take a trip to Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island is full of natural attractions, including beautiful beaches, native forests, and vineyards. Just a 35-minute ferry from downtown Auckland, escape to the gorgeous shores of Waiheke Island and discover art galleries, cafes, local wineries and craft boutiques. Hit the beach and enjoy a swimming, surfing and more beach activities, or just soak up the sun on the island's pure shores.
Shop til you drop on Queen Street
Take some time out from sightseeing and head to Queen Street to enjoy the New Zealand shopping experience! Queen Street is one of the main shopping streets in the CBD, offering a wide range of fashion stores, restaurants, cafes, bars and more. Visitors can also explore the laneways around the area for more independent shops and boutiques.
Head to the top of the Sky Tower
Get an unrivaled view of Auckland from above at the top of the Sky Tower. Experience breathtaking vistas of the city from 220 metres in the air, with views as far as 80 kilometres in each direction. Travellers can also take the opportunity to dine at the 360 degrees revolving restaurant, drink at The Sugar Cube cocktail bar or relax with a coffee at the Sky Cafe.
Get cultural at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki.
Art lovers should head to the Auckland Art Gallery to see beautiful artworks from home and away. Sometimes known by its Maori name Toi o Tamaki, the gallery is the largest in the city and is home to a huge collection of national and international art. Check online for exhibition information before you go, as the gallery regularly hosts events and one-of-a-kind exhibits.

Funny stuff, good for the whole family.Nick Cannon, a very funny guy, plays a plethora of recurring characters, including himself and LaTanya (one of his old "All That" characters) as he takes over whatever he sees, bringing a brilliant comedic touch to everything from a hospital to a household to a small town to Hollywood to the music industry to London!Also, the theme song is one of the few rap tunes I've ever liked!Truly, there ain't no party like a Nick Cannon party. However, with Cannon's budding movie career, this show may end its run after this season. No great loss, but a loss nonetheless.

PHILADELPHIA - After a successful opening weekend, the University of Pennsylvania lightweights will send a pair of crews to the prestigious Head of the Charles on Sunday.
Penn is set to compete at 3:46 p.m., in the fours and at 4:06 p.m. in the 8+ race. You can watch a live webcast here.
Last year at the 50th edition of the Head of the Charles, the Quakers had two top-ten showings when they finished sixth in the varsity 8 race and seventh in the fours. Penn's sixth-place finish was its best at the Head of the Charles since 2006 as the varsity 8 finished the course in 15:20.705.
Last week, the Quakers split between two regattas. At home on the Schuylkill River in the Navy Day Regatta the Red and Blue earned a win in the freshman fours race and were fifth in the varsity eight race. Meanwhile, two other crews competed and finished sixth and eighth, respectively at the Head of Housatonic in Connecticut.
A full Penn recap from the Head of the Charles will be available at PennAthletics.com following the conclusion of Sunday's races.

BOSTON – The Big Dig (search) highway tunnels under downtown Boston are structurally sound and safe for traffic despite recent leaks, the Federal Highway Administration (search) said Monday.
The agency launched the investigation into the Interstate 93 (search) tunnels after water broke though a faulty wall panel in September, backing up traffic for miles and setting off a new round of criticism of the much-maligned, multibillion-dollar project. Studies also revealed hundreds of smaller leaks.
The report said the most serious breach "appears to be isolated to a discrete section of the tunnel and primarily the result of poor quality control during construction." But the Big Dig itself "is structurally sound and remains safe for traffic," it said.
The report also urges the Turnpike Authority to work quickly to complete an inspection of the tunnel walls and create an inspection program to detect any future leaks.
Representatives of the agency met this morning with officials from the state Highway Department and the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (search) to brief them on the findings, which were later posted on the agency's Web site.
The report also looked at drips near the ceiling joints in the tunnel. Those leaks are of a lesser magnitude than the problems with the tunnel walls but are still unacceptable, according to the report, which praised what it said was the project's "methodical approach" to sealing all ceiling leaks by the end of September 2005.
The report also looked at different permanent repair proposals for the wall panel where the September breach occurred. Those proposals include cutting away and replacing the damaged concrete sections of the wall or injecting grout into the damaged sections and welding steel panels over them.
The report said it was "confident that any of the proposals would provide an adequate repair" provided that it is structurally sound, is a durable and effective barrier against moisture and will be relatively maintenance free.
The $14.6 billion Big Dig, formally known as the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel project, is the most expensive highway project in U.S. history. Its cost was estimated at $2.6 billion when Congress first approved funding for it in the mid-1980s, and the project will not be finished until later this year, seven years behind schedule.

Since 1991 generous donors have made it possible for the Pleasant Hill Education Foundation to provide over $750,000 in funding to the students of Pleasant Hill. This is a profound accomplishment that would not have been possible without the support of so many.
Our purpose is as important today as it was 25 years ago since Oregon ranks #39 for investment in our schools. State funding does not cover the real cost of a quality public education, so we continue to ask parents and community members to assist with funding critical to maintaining academic excellence. Your donations will continue to improve every student's experience by directly supporting the school's most immediate needs.
Long time Pleasant Hill High School faculty member, Timothy Meinzen, recently gave a speech about the Foundation. His words truly demonstrate the impact of your gifts.
When I first came to teach here, I found a school thriving. Then the grim reaper of Measure 5 swept through and we felt like we were withering, but the Foundation has given us the tools to rebuild the school from the inside. What is important for me, for my colleagues, is that we know when we need something to help us teach, we say, 'We can ask the Foundation.' That realization is like a huge dollop of hope in our increasingly challenging vocation. We know that the Foundation has our back.

Among some creative renovation design ideas, BK Architecten has brilliantly formed one of the most captivating remodeling ideas with antique wood walls for a classic church into a spacious bookstore named Waanders in de Broeren. The general design was about conserving the holy part of the church, and implementing some precise adjustment to make the church more adaptable as a bookshop. Free standing form was designed throughout the part to prevent any harm effect for the antique walls and pillars.
Basically the architect really works hard to maintain the value of artistic elements within the church. Some parts were unchanged for instance beautiful mezzanine floors, gorgeous vaulted ceiling, vigorous pillars, vivid glass windows, and so on. Forming and implementing house renovation design ideas with antique wood walls for this case obviously need a very mature planning and consideration. Because the church will be function as a bookstore, hence without losing its symbolic and aesthetic elements, the church needs to be arranged in a more bookstore concept.
The display of books was designed in each wall side and formed into two levels. And some adjustment were developed to produce more balancing with the existing aspects, for instance white painted balcony, timber staircase, and gorgeous lighting. The arrangement of the books was also designed very mature through some sturdy bookshelves which stick into the walls and some display long tables. Moreover, the cafeteria space was perfectly formed into artistic yet comfy area with some wooden tables and chairs. The whole design will pamper every guest with its artistic and gorgeous existing parts and calm new elements.
Overall, the idea of this remodeling design was very inspiring in term of conserving the classy element as well as adding some flexible new parts. This bookshop in Zwolle, Netherland will be a very affecting illustration of home renovation design ideas with antique wood walls and also it undoubtedly brings new inspiration about reconstruction design.

For Better or For Worse: A call for more rigorous reviewing of indie theatre
by Ali Joy Richardson (director, producer, & creator)
This is not a rant against reviewing. Or reviewers. This is a call for more rigorous, nuanced, and informed reviews about independent theatre.
Thanks to the internet, anyone can be a reviewer. This increase in people writing and talking about theatre is a great thing, but the ease with which anyone can now claim those sweet media comps means the quality of reviewing is unpredictable to say the least. Come festival season, when an abundance of indie work is staged, many online publications pad out their writing staffs and the range of writing quality widens even further.
What complicates the artist-reviewer relationship is the deeply-rooted expectation that indie artists should give free tickets to people in exchange for their reviews.
There are a few reviewers in our city who write truly rigorous, nuanced, and informed reviews. Why not cultivate more by being selective in our media comping? At the indie level, we scrabble for media coverage in an effort to fill our rented spaces…but I think we should expect better writing in exchange for free access to our work.
"Better writing" doesn't mean more flattering or gentle reviews. It means deeper considerations of our art. Dissect that bunny. Caress that frog.
Sure, there isn't a right or wrong way to review theatre (nor to make it). But I believe there are approaches that are better and approaches that are worse.
So I've started two lists:
- Relying predominantly on broad and general statements in the review. Using words like, "evocative" or "confusing". Be specific in articulating what you've experienced.
- Not disclosing a close, bias-creating personal connection to the artists or the work.
- Getting shit plain old wrong: misinformation about the show, the company, or the playwright. Names, production history…don't quote it if you don't know it.
- Lamenting what wasn't in the play, story-wise. Rarely is this interesting or useful. Focus on what was. It's too late for rewrites.
- Talking at length about your "guest"'s reaction to the work in extremely basic terms: they enjoyed this, they didn't enjoy that…they thought this part was "odd"…
- Suggesting script cuts and changes to published plays as if the producing company overlooked an opportunity to "trim" or "update".
- N's. And, above all, letter grades (which carry the clear, teacherly connotation of "I know best").
- Charging artists for ad space on your site according to the letter grade you assign them.
- If you've been comped: publishing your review at the very end of the run…or after closing.
- Writing a single tweet in exchange for a media ticket.
- Identify the separate cogs in the machine — did you experience something as a result of the writing? The direction? The sound design? A certain performance? The quality of the audience on your given night? Your streetcar ride? The fact that you dated one of the actors and they robbed your summer of joy?
- Articulate what was being attempted in the production (for better or for worse).
- Evaluate how close these goals came to being achieved — and if the target was missed…why? (See #1)
- Suggest what might draw people to the show (whether or not these aspects align with your personal tastes and interests).
- Suggest what audiences might find challenging about the work. (#4 and #5 are both useful in connecting the work to new audiences…and I think we'd all like to bring more folks to the party).
- Give a heads up about any unusual requirements of the audience (of course one hopes the company will do the same): is it a promenade-style piece and it behooves me to wear comfy shoes? Is the space extremely small and hot? Any accessibility barriers to flag?
- Context: can you open up the piece for audiences by sharing deeper insight into the production history? The "true events" upon which the play is based? The creation process? Give us some of that sweet VIP media access to the art.
- Big picture thoughts: how does the work engage with socio-political issues and contemporary preoccupations? How does it reinforce or challenge what we expect from live theatre? Draw connections that audience members might not have the time or perspective to make.
Above all, abandon ye the petty blood sport of mean reviews. We don't need help turning audiences off theatre. Again, reviews don't have to be uncritically glowing to cultivate audience.
They have to be rigorous, nuanced, and informed…just like art.
Bigger audiences = better for us all — artists and reviewers alike.
Editor's note: I met Ali when she was cast in an old show of mine at Hart House Theatre. She is currently running around Toronto participating in new and beautiful things. Keep a look out: Honest and playful, intelligent and sincere. One of Toronto's notable up and coming directors, further weakening the gender divide and inspiring an echo of Fucking Cool.

Educational Platform
Much of today's asthma education does not connect on a personal level with children because many platforms are not taking advantage of today's technology. We have done extensive consumer research in the asthma and allergy space and are working to provide the best asthma education experience for the "Touch Screen" generation. On a HIPPA secure video portal we connect the hospital to the home so doctors can teach patients everything from proper inhaler technique to adjusting the built-in digital asthma action plan. After 2 years of research and collaboration with our 20+ person advisory team, we have distilled decades of practical knowledge into the new standard curriculum to educate children with asthma through an interactive app.
