Comments about Sof Sole 3/4 Orthotic:
Have worn these 4x trying to give them a chance but feels like the arch spans entire width of foot but it's probably the seam since they are 3/4. I am returning and will look for a full. (Yes I placed it under the athletic shoe insert)

Q:Hi!, I'm 10.5 running shoes size also neutral, I have one set already (3/4). I would like to know better for me: 3/4 or full length, thanks.Asked on 12/12/2013 by Fernando07 from P.R. 00602
1 answer
A:As a general rule, we feel that the full length insoles tend to sit a little better in the footbed and don't slide around in the shoe. That being said, if people have found a footwear or insole set up that works well for them, we usually hesitate to recommend changes.Answered on 12/13/2013 by Ryan from Holabird Sports

The TUBE-TECH CM 1A Compressor is an optical, all-tube compressor. It features exactly the same tube circuit as our famous CL 1B Opto Compressor, but the action is different due to a different, carefully selected optical element and a fine-tuning of the control circuit.
This provides the CM 1A with an attack that enhances transients in a more punchy way, making it ideal for percussive material, yet still very well suited for vocals, bass guitar, etc. The different optical element does NOT seriously change the "classic" characteristics, known from the CL1B. The action of the CM1A places it somewhere between the LCA2B (Tube VCA) and the classic CL1B.CM1A has been extremely well received by numerous top engineers.
Note: Due to the high quality of the TUBE-TECH RM Series power supply and the pristine audio circuits, the Modular Series products deliver exactly the same uncompromised sound quality as our 19" units.
- Gain-reduction element positioned immediately after the input transformer
- Sidechain amplifier which also contain the two-time control circuits – one for fixed and one for variable Attack / Release

Hi,I don't know who's the right person to ask so I'm posting this into the libvir-list. We're going to have the libvirt-php package in Fedora (but renamed to php-libvirt only) but I don't know about the licencing. The licence in the SPEC file (by Lyre) is set to "PHP" however the licence file describes the GPL licence.
My question is whether somebody does know whether it's OK to write a PHP extension under GPL licence or whether we need the PHP licence for this.
Anybody knows? Thanks a lot for your reply, Michal -- Michal Novotny<minovotn redhat com>, RHCE Virtualization Team (xen userspace), Red Hat

Do you hate insects or just find them creepy? This topdown shooter let's you blast away at them with a myriad of weaponry and watch them get splattered all over the ground. Using the mouse, you take aim and squish large varieties of spiders, roaches, mantis and other crawlies with anything from simple melee weapons like a rock or a knife to automatic rifles and a bazooka. The game inspired a spin-off called Insectonator: Zombie mode with the same gameplay, but where you shoot mini-zombies instead of insects.
The environment in the game is creepy and dark, the game is so atmospheric that it almost borders on parody. The crosshairs where you point your weapon is also where you point your flashlight which lights up a small area while the rest of the level remains rather dark. Even though the game has the atmosphere of a survival horror game, there is no way to take damage or die. You stand above the insects and they can't hurt you in any way. You blast away at them with all the weapons at your disposal and they just keep coming. There is a huge variety of insects of different sizes and colors crawling around aimlessly.
You start out with just a rock as your only weapon, but there are 26 different weapons if you can unlock them. Each of these weapons are tied to an achievement, so the only way to unlock them is to complete these achievements. These achievements are awarded for in-game tasks, such as killing a number of bugs with a specific weapon, killing different types of bugs or getting head-shots on insects. The weapons range from the simplest melee weapons like a knife or using your foot to stomp insects to assault weaponry. There are automatic rifles, rocket launchers, grenades and you can even nuke the insects. Weapons can quickly be switched with the mouse or keyboard, or by setting the options to switch randomly after a clip has been emptied. Bonus points are awarded for quick kills, head-shots, and consistent accuracy.
Between each level, you can choose between three game modes. The level's difficulty increases each level, but you can still swap between these game modes as you wish. The simplest game mode is "Annihilator", where you simply kill every single bug in the level. "Killer" asks you to kill specific insect types in order. The game lets you know which insect type you need to kill next and when you kill one of these, you are given another random insect type until you have completed the number of tasks needed for the level. You are not penalized for killing other insects, so you can freely blast away at the insects. The last game mode "Selectioner" gives you an amount of insects of each type to kill in order to complete the level. You can still blast away and kill any other insect types at your own will. The game doesn't really have a goal to reach, as the insects come in endless waves. The way to progress is to complete achievements which will award you with another weapon to toy around with and splatter insects.

Topic: Seeing RED!
I was just watching Montel on Oprah talking about his bout with MS. I ended up writing the show that while I feel bad for Montel at least he has lived 10 years and that he has medications. Dr. Oz was also on and talked about MS in words we use for our CC, like no cure! I could not help myself, I sat right down and wrote the email. They probably will not even read it as I am not a celebrity nor an author. He was promoting his new book. Oh well. I still have all of you!!!
And it doesn't get better than that!

The 53-year-old was appointed as Heyneke Meyer's successor on a four-year contract following the World Cup last year.
However, South Africa have lost eight of their Test matches in 2016, including Saturday's 27-13 defeat at the hands of Wales in Cardiff.
The Springboks have won a total of four matches from their 12 internationals this season and Coetzee's has come under growing pressure.
The former Stormers boss insists he is thinking about the sack and has urged the squad to find a better level of performance.
Coetzee said: "I don't fear anything, to be honest.
"Collectively, we've got to understand that it's not just one person that can take responsibility for that.
"If I'm solely held responsible for that, then I will walk away.
"We need to get the standards up. The Springbok stands for excellence. We need to make sure that whatever systems we put in place will give the players a platform to achieve excellence."

Definitions Edit
Antitrust Edit
Market power is "the ability profitably to maintain prices above, or output below, competitive levels for a significant period of time."[1]
Economics Edit
Market power is the ability of a firm to alter the market price of a good or service.
Overview Edit
In perfectly competitive markets, market participants have no market power. A firm with market power can raise prices without losing its customers to competitors. Market participants that have market power are therefore sometimes referred to as "price makers," while those without are sometimes called "price takers."
A firm with market power has the ability to individually affect either the total quantity or the prevailing price in the market. Price makers face a downward-sloping demand curve, such that price increases lead to a lower quantity demanded. The decrease in supply as a result of the exercise of market power creates an economic deadweight loss which is often viewed as socially undesirable. As a result, many countries have antitrust or other legislation intended to limit the ability of firms to accrue market power. Such legislation often regulates mergers and sometimes introduces a judicial power to compel divestiture.
"Market power can be exercised in other economic dimensions, such as quality, service, and the development of new or improved goods and processes. It is assumed in this definition that all competitive dimensions are held constant except the ones in which market power is being exercised; that a seller is able to charge higher prices for a higher-quality product does not alone indicate market power. . . . A buyer could also exercise market power (e.g., by maintaining the price below the competitive level, thereby depressing output)."[2]

Trimester 3, Empathy
I have definitely let this blog get away from me, but it's never too late to get back into the groove! This trimester, we are focusing on empathy which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Empathy is not hardwired into our brains-it must be taught. In junior high schools, I think it is especially important for schools to focus on empathy. All too often, our students get caught up in gossip, spreading rumors, name calling, leaving others out, etc. without thinking about how the person on the other end would feel. We are blessed in Channahon to have such great students, and I know we will be seeing a lot of students showing empathy throughout the last months of school!
Week of 11/28/16
This week's character challenge is to be a positive thinker. Did you know that we have about 50,000 thoughts per day? If the majority of those thoughts are positive, you are more likely to feel happier and less stressed out. When you catch yourself having a negative thought, try to think of something positive instead. It really can make a big difference in your day!
~"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." -Abe Lincoln
2nd Trimester
It's hard to believe we are half-way through November and starting a new trimester! So, with the start of a new trimester, we will focus on a new Indian PRIDE character trait--Determination. Last trimester, I did not update my blog regularly, so I am determined to change that! :)
To be determined means to make a firm decision and being resolved not to change it. We want our students at CJHS to be determined to do their best work and show their best character. We hope that students will strive to be the best students and person they can be. This week's character challenge is to be confident. It is so important to feel confident about yourself. We can be more confident by preparing for each day and thinking positively about ourselves. Our thoughts have such a huge impact on our emotions and behavior! If our thoughts are positive, our mood will improve and our behavior choices will be more positive as well.
"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it."
Week of 9/19/16
The Indian PRIDE character challenge this week was to be helpful. Being helpful to another can brighten your own day and the person's you are helping. I recently went to the grocery story with my baby, and so many people offered to help me throughout my shopping trip. I didn't ask for help, but perhaps they understood that grocery shopping with an infant is no easy task. I felt so happy leaving the grocery store and was so grateful for the kindness these strangers had shown me. When we help others, we are passing on happiness and that happiness is contagious.
What is Indian PRIDE?
Indian PRIDE stands for People who Represent Integrity Determination and Empathy. Each trimester, we will focus on one character trait, and each week, we will have a character "challenge" based on that trimester's character trait. For example, first trimester, we will be focusing on integrity and the first challenge is to "be trustworthy". Students who are observed being trustworthy will be given a PRIDE Pass. The PRIDE pass can be turned in at lunch to earn a prize. Names of students who have earned passes are noted, and at the end of the trimester, teachers will vote for students (2 boys & 2 girls from each grade) who have best exemplified that trimester's character trait. Then, the chosen students and their parents are invited to a breakfast to celebrate their accomplishments!
1st Trimester: Integrity
1st Trimester, we will be focusing on Integrity. C.S. Lewis once said, "Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching." I think that's a pretty good definition! The staff at CJHS will be watching out for students who show integrity, though. Each week, we will introduce different "character challenges" and give PRIDE Passes for students who are "caught" showing integrity.
This week's character challenge is to be polite. Being polite shows others that we value them as human beings. We can be polite at school by saying "please" and "thank you", by using an appropriate tone of voice and volume, cleaning up after ourselves, and using proper manners. Being polite can go a long way and makes interactions much more pleasant!
"Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners."
~Laurence Stern
Week of May 9th, 2016
This week's character challenge is to be kind. There are so many ways to show kindness to another person. Even the smallest gesture, such as a smile or a "hello", can brighten somebody's else's day. I see random acts of kindness everyday in the hallway, and they are usually not big, extravagant gestures. I see students helping each other in the hallways (carrying books, picking up items that have been dropped, comforting those who are having a bad day or are hurt, etc.) and being inclusive in the cafeteria at lunch. Being kind is beneficial to those on the receiving end as well as those showing kindness.
Week of May 2nd, 2016
This week's character challenge is to be encouraging. We can show encouragement to others in many ways. You can offer to help somebody who is struggling, give compliments, or write somebody a nice note. You should share positive comments with others, but keep negative comments to yourself. Being encouraging makes others feel more confident in themselves and creates a more positive school climate.
"Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and
he will become as he can and should be."
― Stephen R. Covey
Week of April 25th, 2016
This week's character challenge is to be caring. It does not take a huge act of kindness to show others that we care about them. We can show that we care by being an active listener, helping each other, or simply asking, "How are you doing?" These small things can make a huge difference!
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
~Leo Buscaglia
Week of April 18th, 2016
This week's character challenge is to be helpful. It is easy to get caught up in our own problems and daily life, but it is important to take time to help others in need. At school, you might help a classmate carry their books or open their locker. You could also hold the door for the person behind you or help a classmate pick up items that he or she has dropped in the hallway. Students can also be helpful to their teachers by offering to pass out papers and by setting a good example of an attentive learner. Being helpful is a great way to brighten somebody else's day (as well as your own).
"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up." -John Holmes

The Big Ten and Pac-12 called off their vast college sports partnership before it ever truly began, announcing in a joint statement Friday that logistics in scheduling and planning proved too colossal to solve.
"We recently learned from Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott that the complications associated with coordinating a non-conference football schedule for 24 teams across two conferences proved to be too difficult," said Jim Delany, commissioner of the Big Ten.
The Pac-12 plays a nine-game conference schedule in college football, which complicated the nonconference availability for both sides. The joint collaboration was formally introduced by Scott and Delany in December 2011.
"After extensive deliberation and consultation with member institutions, television partners and others, the Pac-12 and Big Ten have decided not to pursue the previously announced plans for enhanced
scheduling collaboration across all sports at this time," Scott said. "While we continue to value our close relationship, particularly our partnership in the Rose Bowl, the Pac-12 came to the conclusion that it's in our best interests to maintain our nine-game conference schedule and maximum flexibility in out-of-conference scheduling. Thus, the Pac-12 decided not to lock into the proposed mandatory 12-game schedule in football."

The Treaty of Boguslaw was signed in 1412 by the representatives of Pomerania and Denmark, putting an end to the war of Pomeranian Succession War in which Eric of Pomerania, King of Denmark had the Pomeranian throne claimed for him. The War for the first four years became a war of attrition as Swantibor III, then-Duke of Pomerania, proved a excelent commander and defeated a coalition consisted of the whole Kalmar Union and the Teutonic Knights, that invaded his homeland. His son Archduke of Pomerania then seeked vengeance, during the Kalmar Union break-up wars, which he supported Norway, but alas they agreed to end hostilities with Denmark with the following terms.
This is the peace treaty to end the Second Pomeranian-Danish War.
Danish Terms
Denmark apoligizes deeply for the invasion of Pomerania
Denmark shall transfer its vassal Holstein to the Archduchy of Pomerania and Holstein shall be a Pomeranian Vassal
Denmark shall cede Bornholm island to the Archduchy of Pomerania
The Kingdom of Denmark shall help the Archduchy of Pomerania building-up its fleet and with its naval expansion.
In return, the Arch-duchy of Pomerania shall cease invading the Kingdom of Denmark and instead help Denmark against the Norgewian rebels.
Pomeranian Revision of 1413
After further negotiation Denmark shall transfer its vassal Schleswig to the Archduchy of Pomerania.
Signatories: Eric "The Møøse" of Pomerania, the Defender of the Faith, King of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and all of the Kalmar Union -KawaiiKame
Otto II of Stettin, Unificator and Archduke of Pomerania: ~ Ungern von Sternberg A man's GREATEST joy is crushing his enemies

Popular Culture
Students of Popular Culture studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Popular Culture textbooks – for example The Portable Obituary: How the Famous, Rich, and Powerful Really Died by [Michael Largo], and Are You Serious?: How to Be True and Get Real in the Age of Silly by [Lee Siegel] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Popular Culture is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Popular Culture books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Popular Culture classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

How good is he? 1 year deal.
He was good in college I know that much. lol
Does the big 12 have any corners outside of DB U?
I thought Aveion Cason for some reason lol
He went to U of A...
He's not very good. Pretty disappointing for a 1st round draft pick. He plays off his man way too far so he gets beat on short routes fairy often. He does put himself in position to make plays sometimes
He was a beast in the one NCAA.
I know total brain fart

Hi, i am putting together various flights around Thailand and Vietnam and on a couple of occasions i am getting two flights on the same day. Are there only two airports in Bangkok? So far all my flights are with Air Aisa that arrive in Bangkok so i assume these all land at the same Bangkok Airport terminal...is that correct?
With regards to allowing time between landing from an air aisa flight, unloading baggage and then re-checking in for the next flight, how long as a minimum do you think i should leave?

Andres Iniesta resumed full training Thursday after missing Barcelona's past four matches with a calf injury.
The Blaugrana did not confirm whether Iniesta will be available for Saturday's visit of Athletic Bilbao, but ESPN FC correspondent Samuel Marsden believes the 32-year-old is likely to return Tuesday for the second leg of the club's Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona is leading 2-1 on aggregate heading into the reverse fixture at Camp Nou.
Iniesta, who also suffered a knee injury earlier in the campaign, has missed 14 matches in total this season.
Before his most recent setback, he had become one of manager Luis Enrique's key men. Enrique said in January he would pick and chose when to play Iniesta so as to avoid any more injuries.
Barcelona, however, acquitted itself well without Iniesta in the lineup, only dropping points to Real Betis last weekend.

If you have watched the previous episode of Kumkum Bhagya, where Abhi (Shabbir Ahluwalia) and Pragya (Sriti Jha) are drunk and acting crazy as well as stupid, you will be left thinking 'WTH' is happening on the show.
After the incident, where Abhi drew 'something and all' on Pragya's face with kajal to make her look like a devil, this is another episode that will make you think 'how stupid' the makers are trying to fool audiences by dragging the show.
Coming back to the story, Tanu traps Abhi and Pragya with her tricks and tries to make her place in Abhi's home. Tanu wants to throw Pragya out of the house.
Tanu accuses Pragya of stealing money and asks Dadi to send her out of the house. But the medical report that confirms about Pragya's pregnancy, turns things in favour of Pragya. Dadi will be happy with the pregnancy news and she will forgive Pragya.
In fact, Dadi will be so happy that she will start arranging for a grand Godh Bharai (baby shower) function. Pragya and Abhi, who could have easily stopped Dadi, get stuck and will not be able to reveal the fact.
Not able to think of any idea to face Dadi, Abhi starts drinking, while Pragya too requests Abhi to share a glass with her. Though Abhi resists, Pragya gets drunk. Now with both in inebriated state, try to find a solution!
No, not to find solution to how to reveal the truth to Dadi, but they act and ask all stupid and crazy questions to each other.
Abhi-Pragya Drunk
Abhi tells Pragya that if she was pregnant in real, it would have been good, while Pragya says when Abhi hasn't even kissed her how can she get pregnant!
Abhi starts teaching Pragya about 'kiss ka fundas'. Abhi even says how the lips react when kissed and happy! Very funny!
Tanu Comes To Room
Thinking to speak to Abhi, Tanu comes to their room to find them 'trying' to kiss each other.
Another funny and stupid thing is, Pragya makes Tanu lay on the table and try to get the baby.
Abhi wants Tanu's baby and give to Dadi saying it is Pragya's baby. Both Pragya and Abhi act so stupidly that Tanu runs out of the room.
Tanu Worried
Tanu is worried thinking about Abhi and Pragya's condition. She decides to keep an eye on both Pragya and Abhi so that she can keep them away from each other.
Tanu comes to Abhi and Pragya, and reveals their stupid acts. Finally, Pragya decides to tell the truth to Dadi.
Dadi Arrange For Pragya's Baby Shower
Not being able to stop Dadi, Pragya again gets stuck. Pragya's baby shower ceremony will finally arrive and Dadi will dance so much that her health gets upset.
According to latest spoiler, Pragya will see Tanu's boyfriend Nikhil speaking to Tanu about her being pregnant with his baby.

|Cybran Kraken
The Kraken Experimental Giant Submarine is a Cybran major experimental naval unit, having the appearance of a large squid. It is equipped with 8 tentacles which fire laser beams that are effective at targeting naval, land, or air units. It is also equipped with 3 torpedo tubes which it uses to engage other submerged units. Because it is submersible, it can easily escape from an unbalanced enemy force.
- Use the fact that the ACU builds twice as fast to your advantage, allowing you to make these powerful units in 1:35 rather than 3:10, quicker than any assisted gantry. Do be careful about the frankly obscene amount of resources this will consume however.
- You can submerge the Kraken, which makes it vulnerable only to torpedo weaponry. In exchange, it cannot use its tentacle weaponry.
- The Kraken has the notable ability of being quite effective at destroying air units.
- It is ineffective against the IIluminate when submerged due to torpedos having no effects on hovering tanks and units. Conversely the only unit the Illuminate has to target submerged units is the Wilfindja, (and Yenzoo tank with DLC and research) if the Illuminate player possesses one, It is a waste of resources to construct a Kraken as the Wilfindja will be an even fight for it for approximately half the resources and less than half the build time.
- The Kraken is one of the 3 units that can submerge in the game - the other two being the UEF Tigershark and Atlantis II.
- Though armed with torpedos do not leave the Kraken unguarded because it is EASILY overwhelmed by a few submarines. (If the Kraken is up against 10 to 12 Tigersharks it will lose very quickly and most likely won't even kill one of the submarines)
- The Kraken is somewhat useless in groups if attacking targets on land as usually only one will be able to attack and short range artillery or land units can easily deal with it. The Kraken is better off being used as a base defense for incoming naval or air units that try to go around your base.
- If it's struggling to destroy a ship, just let it come up and use the laser tentacle.
- The Kraken Experimental Submarine somewhat resemble the Alien Scout from Crysis
- There's a glitch that if you are attacking another unit and submerge then the beam attack will still be going even while moving and swimming. This can be fixed by having it submerge and attack another unit and kill it.

Shaquille O'Neal was ejected from the Los Angeles Lakers' game Tuesday night, which is unfortunate since he was probably enjoying Kobe Bryant's four-point performance in the Lakers' victory over the Phoenix Suns.
An over-zealous security guard, looking suspiciously like Will Ferrell despite a nametag that identified him as "Ted Vagina," bounced the big guy from his sweet courtside seat.
This isn't the first time Ferrell has hijacked an NBA game. He introduced players at a New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans-Chicago Bulls game a year ago:
And he and frequent co-star/companion John C. Reilly made out on the Lakers' Kiss-Cam in 2011.

I know this is long but any help would do.
I took my girlfriend to our first ever date at a race track. It was open track day and i was driving she was in the passenger seat. This guy infront of me would NOT let me pass him even though i was faster, he kept blocking me which you can't do on open days because it's not compettitve. Anways long story i forcfully overtook him and that caused him to go on the grass a little a bit.
After it was done he came up to me and started to talk shit, then i stated i was faster and for 3 laps he would not move. So ignored it. Later that night he found me on facebook and now says he wants to "fight me". This is guy is an asshole. My girlfriend got scared and this makes me look bad now cause i been dating her for a week. I did nothing wrong to that guy.
What can i do? He says the next time he will see me he will "make me pay" lol. This dude is like in his 30's and i'm 20. He isn't that big so i guess i could take him but i don't want to fight.
This guy keeps talking crap to me about something that happened yesterday when I was with my girlfriend, what can I do about it?
I know this is long but any help would do.

Ignore it, you guys are adults now. Assault is a felony crime. If you ever see him again goad him into hitting you with other people around but don't hit him back. Then press charges and he won't bother you any more.11|00|0
i don't want any trouble but it just looked bad cause my girlfriend got scared when he came up to us after the laps. In my mind she might think that going to the track will always cause trouble so she might not want to go again. This has never happened to me before and the very few times i do go, people are nice there and offer advice. This guy had a older viper but clearly didn't know what a racing line was and everyone had to forcefully overtake him. Before you go on to the track they tell you when to move over and that is for faster cars. But he didn't get the message i guess.
You can likely file a grievance at the track. I'd look into the rules there and if he continues the harassment I'd threaten him with reporting him to the track and potentially getting his privileges suspended. You can also report his threats to police. At some point just tell him you aren't going to fight him and that he needs to get over it. Then offer to settle the dispute with a track official.
If he does do anything then i'll let him know (any further actions). Thanks

|projectInfo plugin property changes
|Wed, 24 Oct 2007 02:34:01 GMT
Recently forrestbot messages have been bombarding cocoon-dev [1] about a change in the properties for the projectInfo plugin. At forrest-dev we don't get that because forrestbot doesn't build our docs. (We should set that up on our zone so that we get early warning.) Yesterday i tried building our docs manually and got the error. Anyway it seems to be complaining about a missing "projectInfo.url" Looking at Forrest site-author/forrest.properties.xml i see that we already have a "projectInfo.project.url". Was this an intentional change of property name? The most recent change in this plugin is [2] but i don't have time to investigate ATM. When someone finds out the problem, please add a note to the projectInfo/status.xml about this major change.

The breakdown in talks between Lonmin and Amcu has paved a way for a possible strike.
Amcu had vowed failure to reach a union recognition agreement would result in workers downing tools. Meanwhile, Lonmin has said the strike would be illegal.
The South African Chamber of Mines has warned the labour unrest at Lonmin could spread to other mines reports The Citizen.
While you may not be in the mining sector, an unprotected strike could be a reality for you too and it can have a number of unpleasant consequences for your company, including financial loss.
That's why you need to be prepared and know what to do when your employees go on an unprotected strike.
Generally, there are certain procedural requirements that should be complied with before your employees embark upon a protected strike. But, what happens when these procedures aren't followed and they go in an unprotected strike?
Here's how to deal with an unprotected strike
If your employees don't follow the procedures their strike isn't protected. This means they aren't protected from dismissal.
It also means that as an employer, you can approach the Labour Court for an urgent interdict to prevent them from continuing with the strike.
If employees continue to strike despite an interdict, you can start thinking about dismissal.
Although 'you don't have to first get an interdict before you consider dismissal, it is usually best to do so, as this places you in a stronger position to defend the fairness of the dismissal,' advises the Labour Law for Managers Loose Leaf Service.
What classifies as a procedurally fair dismissal?
To effect a procedurally fair dismissal of striking employees, you're obliged to follow a fair procedure.
This means you must:
There you have it! These are your options should your employees embark on an unprotected strike like the one Lonmin's facing. Use them to help your company minimise the impact of labour unrest.

I work at a church and every Friday I do what I call "Feed The Machines". We have 3 giant Xerox copiers in our mail/copy room and purely as a courtesy I refill all of them with paper. It is not part of my job description, but I do this because occasionally on weekends there are folks in there making copies for their various small groups or for the sermons on Sunday. It is pretty much a thankless task. I have had 2 people out of 90 say "Thank you" to me. However, I don't do it for "Thank you's", I simply do it to be nice.
Am I crazy for doing this? Does anyone here do anything outside of their job description for the sole reason of being helpful or nice?
To the moderators: Move this if you wish, but it isn't related to printing or copying. It is related to random acts of kindness.

- Experiments and Modelling
- Abstract:
- Modern high performance concretes have low water cement ratios and do often include silica fume. Also early age high strength cements are often applied and when all these factors sum up, it turns out that the cracking sensibility is dramatically increased in com- parison with ordinary concrete. The reasons are the increased autogenous deformation, the high rate of heat evolution and a higher brittleness of these concretes. Due to these adverse mechanisms the interest in the full description of the behavior of early age concrete has increased dramatically in the last two or three decades. Almost all the governing material parameters have undergone intensive research and the body of knowledge provides today a basis for calculation of the stress evolution and thus, repre- sents a tool for prediction of whether cracking will occur or not. However, the experimental investigation and the modelling of the early age concrete after crack initiation has occurred, is scarce. What are the constitutive properties for the crack in early age and how can they be determined? This is the subject for the present thesis. A detailed analysis of five important test methods and their application for early age concrete have been carried out and experimental results generated. These test methods comprise the uniaxial tension test, the three point bending test, the split cylinder test, the wedge splitting test and a method for determination of the bond properties in early age between reinforcement and concrete. The analysis has been carried out utilizing the finite element method and through analyt- ical modelling. The uniaxial tension test is not suited for early age concrete, but it serves as an essential tool for comparison. The most well suited method for determination of early age fracture properties of concrete is the wedge splitting test. For this method a fast and simple method for interpretation and inverse analysis has been developed and calibrated versus the finite element method and experimental results. The analysis of the split cylinder test has shown that this test method produces erroneous results if applied in early age. The results are only valid after 24 hours for fast and normal hardening cements and after 48 hours for slow hardening cements. This is con¯rmed in a finite element model. The fracture properties of early age concrete have been determined. The framework of the investigations has been the fictitious crack model and the aim has been experimentally to determine the fracture mechanical properties related to this model. The results provide interesting and important insight into the development of the fracture properties in early age. It is found that the characteristic length has moments of low values in early age, which means that the cracking sensibility is higher at those time points. The possible influence of time-dependent effects in the fracture mechanical properties on the cracking behavior in early age has also been investigated. The reason for this has been the known fact that viscoelasticity of the bulk material is very important for the determination of the stress evolution in early age, and thus, this could also be the case for the crack. However, it has not been possible to determine any rate effects or viscoelastic e®ects of the crack in early age. The observed time dependent deformations can entirely be ascribed the bulk creep effects. The work on the bond properties between concrete and reinforcement in early age has resulted in the development of a method for interpretation and inverse analysis and also in a experimental setup, which is suited for determination of the early age properties.

Va. Expects Major Job, Funding Cuts
Thursday, October 16, 2008
Virginia's transportation revenues are expected to decrease by more than $2 billion over the next six years, forcing significant cuts in projects, jobs and services and an overhaul of the way the state Department of Transportation does business, officials said yesterday.
After cutting the budget for new road and transit projects by $1.1 billion in June, the Commonwealth Transportation Board will meet next month to slash another $1.1 billion -- or more, depending on economic conditions.
David S. Ekern, Virginia Department of Transportation commissioner, said the agency will make service and personnel cuts to reflect the poor revenue outlook, including reducing the number of employees by 900 over the next two years. Layoffs are also being considered.
Changes also could be made in the way VDOT mows grass, clears snow and maintains rest areas.
"In the future, VDOT will be a smaller agency. We cannot afford to administer and deliver our services, programs and projects the same way we have in the past," Ekern said. "Safety, emergency response and maintenance of existing roadways will be our top priorities, but we will have to make some difficult decisions to live within our means."
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) said yesterday that most of the job cuts will come from VDOT's central office rather than regional offices.
"VDOT will get smaller. . . . With less money, you don't need the same number of people managing projects that are disappearing or getting smaller," Kaine said.
Kaine said the number of VDOT employees had been reduced from 10,000 to 8,500 under former governor Mark R. Warner (D).
Transportation funding in Virginia relies on a 17.5 cents-a-gallon gasoline tax, sales taxes, taxes on motor vehicle sales and license and registration fees. Gas tax collections are lagging, despite the recent decline in prices, the number of vehicles sold in Virginia is expected to drop and lower prices for new cars are weakening the used-car market. More than three-fourths of transaction fees in Virginia are on used cars, Transportation Secretary Pierce R. Homer said.
"These changes are structural and long-term in nature. They are not cyclical," Homer said. He also said that the prospects for large increases in federal funds, which pay for 60 percent of new projects, is unlikely.
VDOT's plans include evaluating its level of services, including roadside maintenance, lighting, mowing and signage. Ekern said that snow removal services will not change this year but that service levels will be reviewed in the future.
Yet despite plummeting revenue, officials insist that the state will come up with $50 million a year in matching funds for Metro, which are necessary for the transit agency to receive $1.5 billion in federal funds.
Tough economic times for state and local governments are hurting Metro, which is the region's largest transit agency and has a $1.9 billion operating and capital budget, because local and state governments pay a significant portion of that budget. In anticipation that local jurisdictions will be hard-pressed to increase their contributions, Metro General Manager John B. Catoe Jr. said yesterday that the agency has eliminated 100 vacant positions, which he estimated would save "a few million dollars." None of the positions are in key operating areas, such as bus drivers, train operators or rail mechanics, he said. Metro has more than 10,000 employees.
Department heads have been asked to cut nonessential spending, such as travel, supplies and consultants, he said.
In addition, the transit agency's officials are resurrecting ideas suggested a few years ago to raise revenue. These include charging certain retailers, such as car washes, car detailing and dry cleaners, to provide services in Metro parking lots, he said. The ideas are preliminary, he said.
"Given what's happening in the jurisdictions, with the Maryland cutbacks and reductions in Northern Virginia, we're not immune, and we can't wait until the sky falls before we take some steps," Catoe said. Metro typically presents its budget in December, after receiving revenue estimates from contributing jurisdictions.

Writing and Reading When the Living Ain't Easy
6 comments:
Excellent post, Normandie, and something I've been wrestling with lately. I listened to a podcast--Write from the Deep, which had Mary Demuth as a guest--that talked about this very subject. Mary was saying that so many Christian books--both nonfiction and fiction--are shallow and cover the same old topics. In order to write deep stories, writers must dig into Scripture and wrestle with great truths. Are we too busy for that these days? Too distracted? Worse, are we afraid of what we might find if we go deep with God? There is no shallow checklist for writing deep truths. Your stories are always thought provoking, Normandie. It's clear you've been in those deep places with God.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Robin, but I feel the need to deepen them more, and I'm not sure how to do it--so, another opportunity to seek His heart. That podcast sounds like something I'd enjoy.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this encouragement to dig deeper into the why of our stories. I think it is when we are most surrendered to listening to Him that we discover His handprint is in those things we write. I am a long time fan of Charles Martin. Wrapped in Rain is my favorite and I am anxiously awaiting his new release this fall. Write from the deep is a truly inspiring podcast that feeds my writer's soul! BlessingsReplyDelete
Good words for all of us, Normandie! I subscribe to them. Karen Ball and Erin Taylor Young do them. I'll send you the link, or Google Write From the Deep. If I try to put a link here, I'll be labeled as a spammer. lolReplyDelete
Linda, thank you for your kind words. I loved Wrapped in Rain--but then I've loved all his books. And, Ane, thank you for sending the link. Excellent!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for writing this. I've been struggling with this very concept. Though I try to have something of value added with each of my stories, in my WIP, I feel like I'm writing fluff, even though I dealing with a heavy subject of loss, abuse, and bitterness. I think I'd better hit my knees a little more before going back to work. Thanks for your openness.ReplyDelete
THanks, Robin Patchen. I'll also Google "Write from the Deep." I know I need some help.

Drought tolerant, tough-as-nails flowers that make a dramatic landscape impact are always high on the Lowcountry gardener's wish list. The Mediterranean Garden at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens is a perfect place to get your ideas.
Jamie Burghardt, CGBG horticultural coordinator, has not only designed and created a show stopping garden with his captivating choices of color for the historic buildings, but he also then carefully chose plants that transition throughout the long growing season. This means there is always something to see.
If you have ever been to California you have probably seen the shockingly colorful display of ice plants blooming everywhere. Guess what, with improved soil drainage they will grow here, too! They are among the plants showing out in the Mediterranean Garden and causing all the camera action.
The hardy ice plant is known botanically as Delosperma cooperi and is native to southern Africa. It is a low-growing perennial reaching about 3 to 6 inches in height with lush succulent leaves. The psychedelic, fuchsia-colored flowers might at first make you think daisy family but it belongs in the Aizoaceae, the fig-marigold family. Don't worry about all of that taxonomic stuff — just make sure to give them a try.
In our garden they are growing around a large glazed container with a young olive tree. They are partnered with another dazzling drought-tolerant succulent, the perennial Lemon Ball sedum, Sedum mexicanum, which sports chartreuse foliage topped by flashy yellow blossoms. The contrast with the hot pink of the ice plant makes for a most striking partnership.
Lemon Ball also spreads and will develop into a 3-foot by 6-foot drift in about three years. The combination planting is made even showier with the 3-foot-tall spike of flowers from the soap aloe, Aloe maculata.
Foliage texture plays an important role in the garden with the large palmate leaves of old European fan palms, Chamaerops humilis, and the century plant, Agave americana vying for your attention. But you'll also be quick to notice how the aloe and hesperaloe adds their unique character and beauty.
While the spring and summer garden are stunning, the fall display might be considered breathtaking. Clouds of yellow sulphur butterflies swirl about and feed on the Purple on Purple Mexican bush sage, Salvia leucantha, creating a complementary feast for the eyes. The Purple on Purple is also a favorite nectar source for hummingbirds and its bloom coincides perfectly with the Monarch butterflies trek back south.
It is such a great plant I would have been compelled to name it Purple Passion or Purple Explosion. Once you see it, you will want it for your garden too. Purple on Purple however is really quite descriptive with both purple flower and calyx.
As the purple on purple puts its showy display the nearby firebush, Hamelia patens, with its yellow orange tubular flowers and the flashy yellow Christmas senna, Senna pendula, just down the path do their part to steal the visitors attention whether they be hummingbirds, butterflies, or tourists.
Sometimes we as gardeners forget that real beauty can be created with drought tolerant, or xeriscape type plants. With a little soil preparation that gives imperative drainage along with the right choices in plant material, we can have an attention grabbing display without being a slave to the garden.

I would like to integrate a form with DropBox....Asked by Danielle on July 01, 2016 at 01:51 PM
I need to create an entry form and have individuals upload multiple photos. Is that possible through Jotform or can I integrate DropBox somehow.
In the past I used another form builder program that allowed for only one photo (very small) to be uploaded.
You can also give me a call to discuss.
