Independent Contractors vs. Employees - Part I
© John J. Tormey III, Esq. All Rights Reserved.
This article is not intended to, and does not constitute, legal advice with respect to your particular situation and fact pattern. Do secure counsel promptly, if you see any legal issue looming on the horizon which may affect your career or your rights. What applies in one context, may not apply to the next one. Make sure that you seek individualized legal advice as to any important matter pertaining to your career or your rights generally.
Anyone who hires workers or is thinking of doing so, should be aware of the following.
Before hiring anyone, it is critical that one carefully determines with one's accountant and attorney whether the new hire is to be an "employee"; or, alternatively, an "independent contractor". The terms have legal and financial import; they are mutually exclusive; and one should never use them interchangeably.
The distinction between the two types of workers is important because, among other things, it is usually more expensive and more administratively inconvenient to hire and pay "employees" as opposed to "independent contractors". On the other hand, few persons or companies that hire workers are truly willing to relinquish control over their hires, to a sufficient degree to allow those workers to accurately be characterized as "independent contractors". The word "independent" is used for a reason, and truly translates to "loss of hiring-party control". I'll explain below.
The Internal Revenue Service in "IRS Publication 937" listed the 20 "checklist" factors that it considers, when determining whether or not an individual worker is an "independent contractor" as opposed to an "employee". The hiring party should review the most updated version of the IRS criteria prior to any hires. The hiring party should be aware, however, that the IRS is not the only institution with whom to be concerned regarding the all-important "independent contractor vs. employee" determination.
For example, the Department of Labor ("DOL") in one's state may apply its own checklist of criteria. (Be aware that there is a federal [US] Department of Labor as well as a state Department of Labor, and a hiring party needs to comply with the requirements of both). In a perfect world, there should be consistency between the respective "checklists" of the IRS and the applicable DOL, as well as consistency between each agency's interpretation of those checklists. However, the world isn't perfect, and those interpretations could differ. Therefore, one should be aware as to how a local DOL characterizes the two different types of workers, too - if different than the IRS characterization. Additionally, from an enforcement perspective, the DOL could challenge a hiring business' characterization of its workers as "independent contractors", without the IRS joining in on the contest. The IRS and the DOL are separate agencies, although there is a suggestion that they will more thoroughly share electronic data with each other on this issue in the near future.
The "independent contractor" determination can be the proverbial unstable apple cart, easily tipped. An employer, as most know, should withhold taxes from an employee's pay, and make unemployment contributions with respect to those employees, among other things. Hiring companies in the entertainment field, for example, often wisely use a "payroll company" to administrate these types of obligations so as to not screw them up.
However, let's say that a hypothetical recording studio hires 20 workers; characterizes them all (in reasonably good faith) as "independent contractors"; but uses no payroll company, and pays no unemployment insurance or workers compensation contributions with respect to any of the hires; and does not withhold taxes from their pay. Then, one worker is terminated, and vindictively files with the local DOL for unemployment compensation, claiming to be a fired "employee". The recording studio could now find itself faced with a DOL that now characterizes not just the one claimant-worker - but all 20 workers - as "employees" as opposed to "independent contractors". The apple cart tips. The recording studio may be required to litigate administrative hearings, and may thereupon be assessed retroactive unemployment insurance contributions, interest, and penalties. Other actions may also follow, such as a workers compensation audit, and perhaps even findings by the IRS and local tax authorities with respect to claimed monies that "should have been withheld".
Could this nightmare have been avoided by the recording studio? The answer is "Maybe yes, maybe no". Please see Part II of this article for a further discussion.

Ok, saat yg ditunggu2 oleh semua org...Shopping time!!! We hit one of the famous mall in Beijing for a blast. Sampai je kat sini, everybody had their own way, hunting for things. After few hours, we went to the Silk Street..again, for shopping! Mcm kat Sunny Point semalam, i xde masa nak brgambar suma. There's nothing more important than to spend! Wakakaka..
Later after that, kitorg singgah kejap di Hard Cafe Beijing..beli souvenirs. Best, Panda Rocks!!

Our first activity today is shopping at the Jade and Crystal Shop. Again, jewelry is not my things (yet). So..nothing in both boutique grab my attention. I mean, kalau ikut nafsu shopping tu memang lah i ada suka one crystal bracelet nih, which is quite strange in design, very rare, n xpenah tgok sesapa lagi pkai..tapi bila pikir2 it will end up in my jewelry box after few days of poyo-ing..better not to waste money-lah. Kann??
Outside the Jade Shop we~freezing pose
Whitish compound
Nak jalan pon susah..my hubby jogged all his way in-funny cause i know he talk big before..
I spend some time standing in front of the coffee shop to avoid cold n enjoy the stunning view
So do Mr Cold-Freeze Man that almost change into ice cube
I managed to climb up to the first-tier only..other than im afraid to be push by the Arabian (yg agak besar2 dan kasar2), the stair is soooo slippery..its ok to get up, but very risky to get down
Inside view
Tadaaaaaa....i cant believed myself that i was here!
Like cotton candy
This is us!
Seterusnya, after lunch, kitaorg bergerak ke kilang membuat barang perhiasan diperbuat daripada sejenis material yg hampir-hampir dgan tembaga. (Thre's special Chinese term for it, but m sorry-i lupa apa nama dia). Material ni digunakan untuk membuat tembikar, sgala jenis hiasan rumah, dan segala craft hiasan yg terdapat di temple2 dan masjid di China. I bought a couple of chopsticks that made from that thing here. It cost me just RM 30 per pairs. Unik!
Just in front of the factory
All hand made ya!

Lebih kurang jam 5 petang, we then headed to Burning Cream Centre before went to Sunny Point for an evening shopping. Unfortunately there's no pixars taken there. We both sangat sibuk shopping sampai lupa diri..almost tertinggal bas. Ngeh2..typical me!!

Anglican Religious Education
Since our inauguration in 2007, Anglican EdComm has provided a significant amount of assistance to teachers of Christian or Biblical Studies in both Junior and Senior Schools. This assistance has included in-school consultancy and workshops, across-school seminars, workshops and conferences, the sharing of ideas and resources, and the collaborative development of a Biblical Studies Framework for Years 7 to 10.
Anglican EdComm has sought to help school chaplains, assistant chaplains and the teachers of Biblical Studies, and our focus will be more on the big picture and on the quality of delivery.
Anglican schools have a particular ethos, each expressed in different ways. Anglican EdComm wants to help Anglican schools to articulate their ethos, to enrich its impact on the whole school and to help to equip those who have been given the task of promoting it. That may mean helping Junior School teachers to relate the Bible to the whole curriculum; it may mean helping schools to develop a more robust P-12 continuum in Biblical Studies.

Good evening, my little Cha Cha Chickens (no, really, that's what I had for dinner tonight), and welcome to the continuation of Hell's Kitchen, during which our two teams of cheflings merged and one of them lost his mind. Or what was left of it. Watching Matt go down was a little like seeing someone get rescued from a parachute tangled in a tree: He'd been dangling upside down for weeks now; someone just needed to cut the strings.
The episode opened with the ladies trying to work out a truce — the announcement that Jen would be back with Corey and Christina made no one happy, especially since Corey and Louross were so close. (Sir Fauxhawk, you'll recall, took his leave last week.) Meanwhile, the men were no more thrilled about the return of Matt, as indicated by Petrozza's calling him a "f—ing hemorrhoid." But the uncomfortable teams didn't last, since after a 6 a.m. wakeup — and one gratuitous Corey underpants shot — the cheflings found themselves blindfolded and kidnapped to the roof of what will someday become Chef Ramsay's new L.A. restaurant. There they received their new black chef jackets, got a glimpse at $250,000 (courtesy of two dudes who I'm certain have been looking for work since The Sopranos went off the air), and had a chance to tour the bones of the "extraordinary" space where Gordon has chosen to carve out the winner's eventual place of semi-employment. Bobby called this moment "bases loaded, bottom of the ninth." I guess he's into extra innings, because this sucker — much to my Tuesday-night personal-life dismay — is far from over.
Tonight's challenge — the first individual one of the season — was for each chef to make a unique dish out of the central ingredient they were assigned. "Make it work!" bellowed Ramsay, like Tim Gunn's evil twin, and they were off. Weirdly, this group of seeming incompetents, when left to their own devices, all managed to cook decent food: Matt made a "nice" roasted veal, Christina a "fascinating" sea bass with tarragon; Petrozza's prosciutto-stuffed chicken was "well done" ("I've never seen one individual do so much to a breast," yukked Ramsay); Jen sliced a rib eye thin, apparently a huge risk, but pulled it off. Only Corey and Bobby failed slightly, the former for not using her whole lobster and the latter for drying out his duck. It came down to Jen vs. Christina, and as the Big Baby stood there crying her eyes out (from "nervousness," although Corey thought she was faking), she was declared the winner. The big prize? Her dish was added to the menu, and she won the obligatory trip to Vegas. Her chosen companion? Corey. Uh, Corey? "It's like the cobra and the mongoose hanging out," said Matt, in his final moment of televised sanity.
NEXT: Matt can't deliver

Pike Levy
"Once the mass of the defending infantry become possessed of low moral, the battle is as good as lost."
— Douglas Haig, 20th century British general
In game[edit]
Overall strategy[edit]
With the advent of the pike, it is possible for even barely trained peasants to defeat armoured knights. Although not as powerful as Pike Guards, pike levy, if well-supported, pose a menace to enemy melee cavalry. Also, a low recruitment cost makes it easy to field them in large numbers to overwhelm enemy forces, despite being semi-trained peasantry with little in the way of armour, meaning they are highly vulnerable to flanking melee infantry or ranged units. Worse still would be archers and gunpowder weapons, against which the pike as a weapon leaves a great deal to be desired.
As such, pike levy are best used as an escort force alongside the more expensive but harder-hitting ranged units, which perform well against infantry units. A better use for them would be to entrench them in the field, forming moving walls of pike from behind which ranged units can shoot unhindered. Couple them with militant clergy, and these units can easily overwhelm any offensive force any enemy throws at you. In order to obtain the Pike Levy, Republic must be researched back in the Castle Age.
Unit summary[edit]
- More That Meets The Eye — With their low cost and powerful anti-cavalry attack, Pike Levy pose a menace to enemy melee cavalry, despite their much more inferior stats.
- I Don't Like To Slay Alone — Consider training siege weapons and ranged infantry to complement your Pike Levy.
The Middle Ages was a most dangerous time throughout many civilisations throughout the Old World, with wars breaking out frequently due to rebellion, commercial competition and political and religious upheaval. As a result, it was unsurprising that common peasant folk were often called up to perform military service to fill in a shortfall in manpower in times of war. The small republics and feudal states which made up the Low Countries and northern Italy imposed military training for all citizens, a tradition which has been continued by Switzerland, one of the nations which was descended from part of the territories that once comprised the Duchy of Burgundy. In some cases, these armies often enjoyed massive successes against opponents fielding heavy cavalry, such as at the battles of Courtrai (1302), Laupen (1339), and Stirling Bridge (1297).

The present invention relates to a cooling high frequency power transistor, in which the heat of the power loss is at least partially conducted from a semiconductor material through a collector conductor.
High frequency power transistors that turn power loss into heat which is brought out through a collector conductor, include plastic box transistors. The power loss of these transistors is typically a few watts at the most. Ordinarily these transistors have collector, emitter and base conductors that radially extend from the box, which conductors are attached onto the surface of, e.g., a circuit board and not into the holes in the circuit board as electrical components are traditionally attached. The constructions of even higher power transistors and low frequency transistors are completely different from these high frequency power transistors.
One known solution to the cooling problem of a transistor of this kind involves placing the transistor into a metal socket formed for it, to which socket ceramic pieces are attached. The pieces insulate electrically but conduct heat in order to insulate the base and the collector of the transistor from ground potential and to conduct heat from the collector to the socket and then to dissipate the heat from the socket. The state of the art is illustrated in FIG. 1 where reference number 1 indicates the socket arrangement as a whole, and reference number 2 indicates the ceramic pieces made, e.g., of aluminum oxide or beryllium oxide, for electrical insulation and conduction of heat. Reference number 3 indicates copper elements for the attachment of the collector and the base of the transistor, and the attachment of an adjustment circuit to the collector. This metal socket 1 is then attached with its face 4, facing downward and away from the transistor, to a circuit board to which also a separate adjustment circuit of the high frequency power transistor is attached. The socket 1 takes this form both in order to dissipate the power loss directly from the surface of the socket to the surrounding environment to conduct heat, from its area, which is considerably larger than the collector of the transistor, to the circuit board which in turn conducts it to a wider area, e.g., to the ground area. Thus the heat is dissipated through the entire circuit board.
Another method of cooling a plastic box transistor of this kind involves using a ceramic material circuit board, instead of a plastic material board, which is usually made of glass fibre epoxy. Such a ceramic circuit board made of a substrate material that conducts heat considerably better than glass fiber apoxy, e.g., aluminum oxide.
The cooling methods presented above are efficient enough, but the one mentioned first is both complicated and difficult to construct. It is thus also an expensive solution. There are also problems connected with the latter method, including the lack of flexibly and reliably in coupling of the ceramic material to the larger surrounding circuit board and/or box. Even this solution is thus relatively expensive and difficult.
The object of the present invention is to create a cooling construction for a transistor that has been described above, which cooling structure is both efficient and simple when considering the number of parts and their design, and thus inexpensive. The object of the invention is also to create a cooling construction, in which no expensive or rare materials are need as electric insulating materials. Yet another object of the invention is to create a cooling construction which is simple to produce and which requires neither separate phases nor additional structural parts for the assembly of the circuit board.
The defects mentioned above are improved considerably by a cooling construction in accordance with the present invention and the defined goals are reached. In order to carry this out, the solution in accordance with the present invention is characterized by contacting the transistor's collector conductor to a metal piece. This metal piece is larger than the collector conductor and is attached to a conductive adjustment strip of an adjustment circuit. The heat is conducted through the metal piece and dissipated into the surrounding air or to the circuit board.
The most important advantage of the invention is that the cooling of the plastic box type of transistor that has been described is made effective by a very simple arrangement, which requires neither expensive additional structural parts nor additional phases of work in the assembly of the circuit board.
The invention is described in more detail in the following description of preferred embodiment with reference to the enclosed figures, wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates a cooling solution in accordance with the prior art;
FIG. 2 illustrates a cooling solution in accordance with the invention when examined from the coupling side of the transistor towards the surface of the circuit board; and
FIG. 3 is the profile of the cooling solution in the FIG. 2.
The solution in accordance with the prior art, illustrated in FIG. 1, has already been described above.
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a circuit board 5, on one face of ground 6 which there is a ground 6 at ground potential, which ground is formed of a copper coating. On the other face adjustment of board 5 there is a conductive strip 7 of an adjustment circuit (not shown), also formed of the copper coating on the circuit board. The figures also illustrate the high frequency power transistor 8, which is of that type where the power loss or heat is brought out through the collector conductor. High frequency here means frequencies on the order of radio frequencies and the like. The collector conductor of the transistor 8 is marked with the letter C, the base with B, and the emitters with the letter E. These connectors are attached by surface mounting them to the coating of the circuit board on the same side as the adjustment strip 7. This is not, however, an actual surface mounting component. The circuit board 5 can be of a traditional epoxy glass fibre type with usual metal coatings 6, 7 on both sides. The transistor is coupled to its adjustment circuit, which is quite usual in itself, through adjustment strip 7 attached to the collector C conductor of the transistor 8, which adjustment circuit in this case can be placed directly on the circuit board 5 using traditional circuit board techniques.
According to the invention the area of the adjustment strip 7 is considerably larger than that of a traditional adjustment strip. Also, contacting the top of the adjustment strip is a rather thick piece of good heat conducting material 9 usually made of metal, e.g., of copper. Typically the cross section of the piece 9, which is formed of dimensions W and S, is slightly larger than the cross section of the collector conductor C of the transistor 8 and it is very long compared with the measurement or the cross section of the transistor or its structural parts. Typically the length of the piece 9 is 10-20 times its width.
The piece 9 functions as follows. The heat coming from the collector conductor C of the transistor is transferred to the piece 9, which is in contact with it at the point 10, both through longitudinal contact and through the conductive coating of strip. Since the piece 9 is a good heat conductor, it distributes the conducted heat over the large area determined by its length and width. From here the heat is both dissipated directly from the surface of the piece 9 to the surrounding air and is also conducted to the circuit board 5 and through it to the ground side 6. From here the heat can be dissipated to the surrounding air either directly from the face 6 or from a separate cooling element 11 placed against the face 6, which cooling element is illustrated in the figures only schematically using a broken line. The efficiency of the invention is thus based on the fact that the amount of heat that has been conducted to the circuit board is directly proportional to the cross section, through which the heat is conducted, which cross section in this case is the area of the piece 9 determined by the length L and the width W. Also the length L, the width W, and the thickness S of the piece or some other similar external area of the piece influences the amount of heat dissipated directly from the surface of the piece.
Using the method described above, e.g. a complicated socket or separate adjustment circuits attached to it as shown in FIG. 1, are not needed. When applying the solution of the present invention, both the cooling piece 9 and the adjustment circuit can be directly and simply located on the circuit board 5, through the adjustment slip of the adjustment circuit. The piece 9 can simply be a piece of a copper conductor of suitable thickness, which copper conductor is attached to the circuit board by soldering, welding or by some other similar means, as all the other components, and at the same time in the assembly. The metal piece 9 can also be permanently attached, e.g. by spot welding or soldering to the collector conductor C of the transistor, before installing the transistor to the circuit board.
According to one embodiment of the invention the collector conductor C of the high frequency power transistor is formed large enough to function as a cooling piece 9 by itself. In that case the length and the width of the collector conductor are equal to the dimensions L and W of the piece 9.
The invention is not restricted to the form of a conductor strip of the adjustment circuit and/or the form of the piece 9 shown in the figures, and its dimensions L, W and S can vary in accordance with the requirements for the cooling power and the use of space. The piece 9 does not have to be linear, it can be bent to form an arc or a curve or to some other suitable form. Exact values cannot be given for the dimensions of the piece 9, rather they depend on the detailed structure of the transistor, the power loss, the material of the piece and the material and the dimensions of the circuit board 5. The dimensioning has to be performed so that the piece 9 is large enough to keep the temperature of the semiconductor material of the transistor 8 low enough to avoid damage.
An alteration of the invention can also be considered that, e.g., utilizes a suitable, very small profile or a corresponding piece is used as piece 9, in order to improve the direct convention of heat. The piece 9 can also be made of some material other than copper, e.g., aluminum, but then the coupling technique to the adjustment strip has to be of a different type.

Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup
I saw this recipe in one of my many Taste of Home magazines that I constantly grab at the supermarket. This recipe didn't even have a picture, but it had always caught my eye. I thought what the heck? What's the worst that could happen? I waste a pound of chicken and we order pizza. Because honestly this recipe could be really good or it could be really bad. Well I'm glad I took a chance. This is by far one of my favorite soups! Here's how to make it.
6 cups milk
3 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup sour cream
1/4-1/2 cup hot sauce (I used 1/2 cup, we like spicy things)
Combine all ingredients in a 5-qt. slow cooker. cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
*Now, you know what I always say...every time I try a recipe for the first time, I do it exact. Even though this soup is great just the way it is, Tim and I were coming up with things to add to it. We thought about celery, onion, corn and carrots. Also, and I have to say I'm really excited to try this, I would love to add a can of Rotel tomatoes and chilies! I think it would add a little more spice and texture to it. If you do that, I would not put more than 1/2 cup of hot sauce in the soup. We ended up adding more individually to our bowls, but I'd rather add then not be able to eat the soup at all.
I already know of one girlfriend of mine that is making this soup this weekend. I hope a bunch of you get to use this recipe. Let me know how it goes! Have a great weekend guys, talk to you next week!

Support » Plugins » W3C Total Cache with WP-Insert
5 years, 7 months ago
I'm using WP-insert to rotate ads from several ad networks and W3C Total cache in order to optimize site's performance.
Unfortunately upon using the caching option the pages that are cached are static and the ads wont rotate.
The pages im serving are pretty heavy and i don't have the option to disable page caching.
Any recommendation on how to solve this will be welcome and appreciated.
5 years, 6 months ago
There is no work around for this. For the rotation to work each page load must actually run the full wordpress cycle but in case of cached page wordpress wont even load while serving the pages..Its a necessary evil which affects all randomizing plugins..

Doctor insights on:
Home Remedy Swollen Elbow
Are there any natural home remedy for dark elbows?
Exfoliation: Often times the skin on the elbows becomes darker because it's thicker and dry. Using a physical exfoliant (something with a microbead) along with a chemical exfoliant (like a glycolic or lactic acid) can help to remove the thick, dry skin. Using a good emollient cream can also help with the dry skin. I like AmLactin as a good over the counter lactic acid lotion. ...Read more

British Parliament backs PM's call for June general election over 'Brexit'
According to analysts, voters could give Europhile politicians a boost in Britain's upcoming election but the effect will be limited and the prospect of a grand alliance to soften Brexit is improbable.
It's official. Britain's members of parliament have overwhelmingly backed a surprise call by Prime Minister Theresa May for a general election on June 8. "That's what I believe in doing, that's what I'm going to be doing around this campaign".
They formed part of a coalition government in 2010, a majority in 2015 and are expected to return to power on June 8, which would hand May a new mandate for a series of reforms she wants to make and also a vote of confidence for her vision of a "hard" Brexit.
"Opinion polls have been saying that the conservatives have a huge lead over the Labour party, therefore you can view the prime minister's decision to go for a general election as a piece of cheap opportunism to get an easy victory over the Labour party".
"That would be in nobody's interest", May said. The current Parliament will dissolve on June 3.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, who faced Mrs May when they were rival candidates at the 1992 general election in North West Durham, said: "The Prime Minister and I, back in 1992, debated publicly, forcibly and amicably when we were both candidates together". Its lawmakers abstained during Wednesday's vote.
In a sign of the key campaign issues ahead, Ms May traded barbs in the Commons with opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose party is deeply divided and languishing up to 20 points behind the Conservatives.
Labour Scottish leader, Kezia Dugdale, was also in London meeting with United Kingdom party leader Jeremy Corbyn and attending the party's National Executive Committee.
Mrs May has argued a fresh mandate would strengthen her hand in Brexit talks and provide certainty for the future.
"What do we know that the leader of the Labour Party, the leader of the Liberal Democrats and the leader of the Scottish nationalists have in common?" she asked parliament.
May formally notified the European Union on March 29 of Britain's intention to leave, and has said she is confident of reaching a deal on the terms of withdrawal in the two years available.
The Liberal Democrats won a ninth seat in parliament in a by-election in Richmond in December.
Brexit Secretary David Davis and Chancellor Philip Hammond have been jointly pressing the PM to call an early vote for some time, and were informed of Mrs May's decision at a meeting on Monday.
"It's the right decision, it's in the national interest, and that's what this election is about".
"It is about the crisis her Government has plunged our National Health Service into, the cuts to our children's schools which will limit the chances of every child in Britain, four million of whom now live in poverty". "Because when we win, it's the people, not the powerful, who win", he will say.
Leaders of European Union states are due to adopt negotiating guidelines at an April 29 summit, and the bloc will prepare detailed plans for the talks with Britain by late May.
It had been hoped talks could start by the end of that month, but EU Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said Wednesday that "the real political negotiations" with Britain would not start till after the June 8 election.
Critics of an early election accuse May of taking advantage of low ratings for the main opposition Labour Party.

New defender to stand up for New Zealand anthem
New Zealand's national anthem has been officially protected by the United Nations, a gesture the writer's North Shore descendants appreciate.
Brothers Clive and David Bracken from Hillcrest and Forrest Hill have always taken pride in their great-grandfather, poet Thomas Bracken.
People are "quite impressed" he's related to Thomas Bracken when they find out, says David Bracken, but he himself didn't fully grasp his ancestor's impact until a chance encounter.
Formerly a fencing contractor, one of David Bracken's clients out of the blue asked him if he was related to the famous poet, Thomas Bracken.
David Bracken's younger brother Clive, says fortune didn't follow fame for their ancestor, who suffered through New Zealand's colonial turmoil.
"There's quite a bit of history with his poetry. He was a guy who doubted his faith and he drowned his sorrows and died an alcoholic," he says.
God Defend New Zealand was originally published as a poem in 1876 by Thomas Bracken who as a journalist had experienced first hand the bloody conflict between government and Maori.
A contest followed soon after to match music to Mr Bracken's stirring words.
Otago schoolteacher John Joseph Woods won the contest, but it wasn't until the advent of radio in the 1920s that the song became broadly popular. Yet the song only became one of the country's official national anthems in 1977.
Cathy Holmes, a communications adviser for Unesco, says Bracken and Wood's manuscripts have been inscripted on Unesco's Memory of the World New Zealand register of documentary heritage. The publicly viewable documents are "well cared for" by Auckland Libraries Sir George Grey Collection, she says.

Fried Bread and Eggs
Recipe by mrsfrostyofne
We eat this at dinner, but it can be a breakfast item, too. We never had a name for it, so we just call it fried bread and eggs. It sounds strange to soak the bread in water, but it doesn't come out right if you don't.
Top Review by Julie Bs Hive
I've prepared bread like this for a Peasant Bread Salad and just love it. I fried a clove of garlic along with the onions (yum!) and served my egg on the side rather that mixed in. Good enough for me to make it two days in a row. Made for New Kids on the Block, a tag game.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy cautioned the press from rushing to conclusions following the devastating bombings that occurred in Boston on Monday.
In an interview with MSNBC host Thomas Roberts, Murphy said that initial reports about the explosions were incorrect.
"So much of the reporting has been wrong, reports of far more than three dead, reports of multiple explosive devices beyond those that were at the scene," he said. "I just think everybody, including everybody in the press, needs to chill out here. Let the investigators do their work. Hopefully, they have some leads here that are going to get them somewhere, but I think we don't want the public information to get ahead of the private information."
Conflicting reports surfaced almost immediately following the blasts, adding to the confusion in Boston. The New York Post was criticized for citing sources that said there were 12 people dead and that a "Saudi National" was taken "into custody." Those reports were backtracked on Tuesday. Other stories surfaced about cell phone service being shut down in Boston and that more than two devices were found after the attack. Officials confirmed that both reports were incorrect.
Murphy made headlines last week when he wrote a letter to Rupert Murdoch calling on the News Corp. chief to cancel Fox Sports' coverage of an NRA-sponsored NASCAR race.

This is the right way to pronounce 'reese's'
Posted May 31
Thanks to good marketing, we know there's no wrong way to eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. But is there a wrong way to pronounce the brand name of our beloved chocolate-peanut butter combo? Well, yes. In fact, there are even Reddit forums that tackle this very topic.
On one side you've got the chocoholics who come hard with the "E," pronouncing it "Reese-EES." Then, there are others who take a softer approach, pronouncing it "Reese-IS." (We suspect there are some people in the middle who fall into the "who cares, can't talk now, my mouth is full of peanut butter and chocolate" camp).
But if you love linguistics as much as you do candy, you might want to get to the bottom of this.
So, we'd like to submit to you, the jury, evidence that the correct pronunciation is…drum roll please…"Reese-IS."
The Historical Argument
Reese's candies are a named after their inventor, Harry Burnett Reese, who began making the famed peanut butter cups in 1928. So, the correct way to pronounce the candy would be by making his name plural, Reese's. Not convinced? Consider this: If the inventor's name was Smith, you'd say Smith's candies, not Smith-EES candies, right?
The Poetic Argument
Reese's Pieces debuted in the late 1970s. Reese-EES doesn't rhyme with pieces. But when you pronounce it Reese-IS-boom, you've got a smooth-sounding rhyme.
The Marketing Argument
While Hershey's (the parent company of Reese's) doesn't have anything online about the correct pronunciation of Reese's, we can glean some information from their ads. Take a listen to this retro one. At the end of the video, it concludes "There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's," which reveals how the candy's name should be pronounced.
While there may be polarized views on how to pronounce the candy, there's one thing all Reese's lovers can agree on: Chocolate and peanut butter are a power couple.

Bless Your Holy Longing — A Love Letter To Women In Transition
Un-learn lessons that have kept your heart on lockdown. Embrace what you need. Discard what does not serve. Bless your tender kneecaps. Bless your holy longing. Bless your wild soul.
Un-learn lessons that have kept your heart on lockdown. Embrace what you need. Discard what does not serve. Bless your tender kneecaps. Bless your holy longing. Bless your wild soul.
For now, let the wayward ghosts seek you out, offer their messages, and move on. You are a wolf-woman who is full, fed, and on the verge of a great Winter rest and rebirth; treat yourself accordingly.
Moscow-based Russian photographer Katerina Plotnikova, has created some of the most ethereal, magical and beautiful images we have ever seen!
I invite you to feel in your wild heart for what most inspires you about the world we live in. What fills you to no end? What breaks you open? What Mysteries draw you near?
Tell death you are not done. Tell death you have come here to rage mercilessly against the strong wills and closed minds of the ego-mad, and you are not leaving until you have finished your work.
One day you'll laugh over how you were mistaken — How you sold off the best parts of you to be liked, accepted, given a semblance of belonging.
You could stand at the great cosmic divide, and lean your entirety into the wondrous, illumined, darkened, undulating, boundless, immeasurable void where that great cosmic waterway flows.
Sister, Now is the time to de-robe and show. Who you are and what you carry. You have forgotten your strength. What you think you fear.
I will build my own temple out of quartz stones, and I will hand-craft the ritual of my liberation, for these ropes have been irrevocably unbound.
We arrive, though, at a fleeting instance of balance,
when light and dark are equals in the realm of the heavens.
