Embassy Suites Irvine Workers Strike Against New Management Company
The Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association, which held its monthly board meeting there this morning, is a dominant investor in the ownership fund of the Embassy Suites. In solidarity with strikers, SEIU 721 members, as pension beneficiaries, are speaking out.
New troubles began earlier this month when Embassy Suites Irvine administrators Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers hired a new management company Hostmark that only added to existing grievances over poor working conditions, increasing health insurance costs and low wages.
The latest spat involves hotel workers daring to wear union buttons. A charge filed byUNITE HERE Local 11
with theNational Labor Relations Board
alleges that employees who did so were threatened with termination if they did not remove them--a violation of federal labor law.
Irvine workers at LACERA meeting proudly wearing their buttons
Courtesy of UNITE HERE Local 11
"I have worn my button to demonstrate support for a union for two years," says David Williamson, a longtime janitor, in a press statement. "In the past 10 days, I've been disciplined five times by managers telling me to take it off or I'll be fired." Forty disciplinary notices overall have been issued in that same time frame.

The previous managers, HEI Hospitality, were dinged for violating state labor laws in denying full-time employees break periods last year as back wages and penalties were levied against them. The new company is off to a bad start with aggressive tactics that seem to be ensuring that worker-called boycott of Embassy Suites Irvine won't end anytime soon.
UNITE HERE Local 11 estimates that the boycott has cost the hotel at least $2.1 million in revenues. Who knew that mistreating workers could be so expensive?

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Belmont University frat parties, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Belmont University student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Belmont University.
If you decide to rush a fraternity or join a sorority, there are several factors you should take into account before you get overwhelmed by all the attention they are giving you. The brothers or sisters have their own agenda, and need to fill up the house with a new pledge class every year. Look at the clothes everyone is wearing, and especially their shoes. Are these the same clothes and shoes that you always wear? How do people talk? Do they make sense to you, and seem like the same crowd of friends you left back home?
Nobody wants to feel left out, so you may find yourself spending money you can't afford, and focusing more on fitting into your fraternity or sorority house, than concentrating on doing well in college. Alternatively, if you fit right in, the frats and sororities can be a great place to spend you college career, making life-long friendships, and having the time of your life. Beyond consideration for Belmont University frat parties, you may think about Bergen Community College add drop dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

If you have come to see this page, chances are you probably have miscarried and sad to say nothing can really helped you get over with the grief. The truth is neither of us are being trained or even prepared for it. So the question of why me, what had happen, did I overlook any sign will be running through your head constantly, then again, the truth is also, you might never know the real cause for it. So what can we do about it?
It will come to a point where you are ready to accept it like it or not, you will and make a decision to get on with life. This doesn't mean you will forget about it or stop talking about it. It simply means you can move on to the next stage of life. Regardless it is to try to conceive again or to start a new hobby and etc.
I have started Art Of Life (AOL) with the purpose to empower miscarried women to find the sparkle back in their life again! As such I have also setup the meet up group – Empowerment for Miscarriage (EM), where ladies who experienced similar situations can come together and support each other in this period of grief.
Having gone through double the heartache after suffering from 2 miscarriages, I know walking out of this dark times alone can be arduous and suffocating.
Also, this meetup would allow you to connect with others and share your griefs comfortably, knowing that there are people who are going through or had gone through what you are experiencing. I will also be sharing my personal experiences and what I have done to walk out of my lonely path.
Likewise, we seek to empower you and possibly get the necessary help needed as well.

"On behalf of our family in Toronto, we would like to say a big thank you for your great service this year. We have two big dogs and a tiny little girl -- you have made our garden much more manageable and pleasant to play in! Best wishes for 2013. " The Clarks
Starting with one Toronto neighbourhood in 1999 as 'Poop-Patrol', it has grown since those early beginnings. First, we took on new management, and then we started expanding our dog waste removal service to include the North, West, and now East areas of Toronto.
Now with a different name, we still offer the same great service. The new Poop Patrol Canada, Inc. team continuously strives to meet or exceed customer expectations. Through our commitment to service excellence, reliability, discretion, and treading softly on the environment, we have earned our customers' loyalty and made many four-legged friends along the way.
You can trust that our Poop 'Patrollers' will be scooping all the waste your dog leaves behind in a professional manner. In order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination; we are careful to wash all our tools with hospital-approved anti-microbial solutions before moving on to our next yard. We use oxo-biodegradable bags for all our pet waste collections and starting in February 2017, we now take all of the poop we collect to a digester to be turned into fuel!
Our service region is growing all the time in response to residential and commercial customer requests for our Poop removal services. Look for our trucks in your neighbourhood and give us a call to book.
At Poop Patrol ... We Get It!

I got an unexpected opportunity to travel to Jackson, Wyoming, in the Grand Tetons,
to see the eclipse on August 21. I took a lot of pictures, but the bottom line is these phases of the eclipse:
The sky was clear, the time was near noon, and you could see the moon eat into the sun right along the ecliptic.

An elaborate menu of recreational amenities is not something every vacationer desires. Thus, though The Still Beach House does not offer the widest variety of outdoor activities, it might nevertheless provide precisely the setting you're hoping to find.
This guest house is lucky to have the ocean right in the backyard, so the fact that it doesn't have a swimming pool is barely noticed by most guests who can instead head for the beach just steps away. In truth, even with access to a pool, a lot of guests have planned so many beach activities that they never use the pool during their stay.
Even though The Still Beach House doesn't feature a golf course, you may be able to arrange a tee time during your stay. The nearest course is Sandals St. Lucia La Toc Golf, which is located 11 miles to the north-northeast of this accommodation. The course has 9 holes. This par 33 course is 3141 yards long. If you'd like more information or want to inquire about the possibility of reserving a tee time, you can reach the course at (758) 452-3081.
Although children are certainly welcome at The Still Beach House, this accommodation doesn't provide many amenities that are specifically intended for use by families. To see some places with more amenities of this sort, you might want to consider properties rated best for family vacations.
This guest house tends to be a bit on the quiet side after dark. Consequently, this is probably not the best choice for visitors that want after dark entertainment where they are staying.
In fact, there are no dance clubs or bars at this guest house, so at least your sleep won't be disturbed by loud music.
Besides the recreation available right on-location, travelers who like to explore will likely find several exciting things to do and sites to see on Saint Lucia. Regardless of whether you would rather spend time on the beach or play a round or two on the golf course, you can encounter lots of other chances for recreation in the immediate vicinity. Click on these pages for information about sightseeing, shopping, diving, fishing, riding a bicycle or scooter, snorkeling, and other activities.
Help us improve! We welcome your corrections and suggestions.

What has glowbalact done with your money in 2016?
Hero of the month
This is Avital's* story. She's a survivor. Her life changed forever when she came to A.I.R., our social business in Tel Aviv. Someone had the courage to step out and do something – they told her about A.I.R. She has since received work and is learning a skill. Suddenly, she has a future and hope! One person CAN make a difference! Be that person and donate today to glowbalact.
Avital came to glowbalact from a day shelter for street prostitutes, where she had worked the streets of Tel Aviv for 30 years. Avital cannot read or write, as she was never allowed to go to school, being forced to work from an early age. She has three children who she was unable to take care of, so they were taken from her and she never saw them again. At A.I.R, she is learning different skills, but more than that, she is learning that she is a person who is worth fighting for. When we celebrated Avital's birthday with our team and all the employees at A.I.R., she cried, as she had never been thrown a birthday party in her entire life. But Avitals story gets way better...
One day we got a call from a customer in Jerusalem for whom A.I.R. had built furniture. Our customer had taken a photo of the work space at A.I.R. where Avital was visible in the background. A friend was visiting his newly furnished office (A.I.R. furniture) and recognized Avital as the mother of the three children she had adopted on the picture he showed her. Immediately she wanted to know the whole story! This lady had prayed for Avital for 30 years, not knowing if she was dead or alive, often scoping the streets of Tel Aviv in search of her.
The two mothers united at our workshop and you can only imagine the incredible emotions it caused in all who witnessed the scene. We are now working on getting Avital emotionally strong and stable so she can meet her now adult children in the near future.

1984 was a landmark year in my life. Not in a revisionist Replacements/Husker Du/Prince way - I was six or seven years old when most of that was going down - but in a very literal, definitive sense that would shape my life forever.
1984 was the year that I fell in love with the Minnesota Twins.
In the summer of 1982, when I was four years old, I idolized my older cousin Eric. My imitation of him reached its apex when I discovered his baseball card collection. If Eric collected baseball cards, then I needed to collect them, too! He started me off by giving me some of his duplicates from the 1981 and 1982 Topps sets. I remember the first pack of cards that I got of my very own. At the Red Owl grocery store in St. Louis Park, I begged my mom to buy me a pack of baseball cards. She gave in, without possibly knowing the monster she would create. In the car, I ripped open the pack. No Twins. I was crushed. I probably cried, but I don't know for sure. My memories as a four year old are less than crystal clear. I did pull a Cal Ripken, Jr. rookie card out of that pack, which I still have, but having no concept of keeping the cards in mint condition at that age, the card is in pretty rough shape.
I would study the statistics on the backs of the baseball cards, though. Relentlessly. I taught myself how to read the box scores in the newspaper before my 5th birthday, just as I had taught myself to read Little Golden Books a couple years earlier. Despite missing an understanding on how baseball was actually played, I knew everybody's batting average and home run totals. The 1982 edition of the Twins were awful. In their first season inside the brand new Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the finished with 60 wins and 102 losses. The only Twins club to ever post a 100 loss season, the '82 Twins finished 33 games behind the first place California Angels.
However, there was still reason for optimism. Because of owner Calvin Griffith's all-about-the-bottom-line ownership style, his resistance to pay star players, the Twins fielded a team that featured over 15 rookies! In fact, 9 of the 12 players who reached 200 plate appearances on the 1982 Twins still had rookie status (second baseman John Castino and outfielders Gary Ward and Mickey Hatcher were the only veterans in that group). Many of the rookies on that squad never amounted to anything in the big leagues (Jesus Vega or Paul Boris anyone?) but six of them - Tom Brunansky, Randy Bush, Gary Gaetti, Kent Hrbek, Tim Laudner, and Frank Viola - would be the foundation of a team that would in just five years WIN the World Series!
While 1987 was arguably the greatest year in Twins history, I will argue here that the 1984 team should have given these young Twins their first taste of postseason play. Chances are they would have been swept out of the American League Championship Series just like the Western Division champion Kansas City Royals were, after all nobody was going to beat the Detroit Tigers in 1984, but the Twins should have had that opportunity. But they did not. And I put the blame for this on one man.
Ronald Gene Davis.
Four games into the 1982 season, the Twins traded their best player, shortstop Roy Smalley, to the New York Yankees for Ron Davis and two minor league prospects. As it turns out, without this trade the Twins would likely not have won in 1987 as one of those minor league prospects was Greg Gagne, who would become the reliable shortstop of both the 1987 and 1991 World Champion teams. (Smalley would also return to the Twins in 1985 and became an important role player on the 1987 team as a designated hitter, pinch hitter, and backup infielder in his final major league season.) But Gagne was still in Triple-A ball for all but two games of 1984 while Ron Davis was throwing away the Twins first division championship since 1970, gopher ball after gopher ball.
At the time of the trade, Roy Smalley was just over three years removed from his 24 home run, 95 RBI All-Star season of 1979 - extraordinary power numbers for a middle infielder in that era - and was still regarded, along with Brewers' Hall of Famer Robin Yount, as one of the two best hitting shortstops in the American League. (It was, after all, still early in Cal Ripken's rookie season and Detroit's Alan Trammell had not yet developed the power that turned him into a perennial All-Star throughout the '80s.)
The Davis-Smalley trade was not one of Calvin Griffith's typical cost-cutting deals. Griffith's thrifty ways throughout the 70's, accellerated by the introduction of free agency to the game, had cost the Twins Larry Hisle, Bill Campbell, Dave Goltz, and Geoff Zahn, to name a few, with no compensation. Much like today's Twins, it became a given that the team's best players would eventually price themselves out of the team's budget. This started with 1976's trade of Bert Blyleven to the Texas Rangers (for, ironically, a young Roy Smalley and a few other prospects) and culminated in 1979's trade of franchise icon Rod Carew to the California Angels for prospects Kenny Landreaux, Dave Engle, Brad Havens and Paul Hartzell.
For the next four years, constant rebuilding way the Twins way. Landreaux was the prize of the Carew deal and the investment returned two solid seasons with the bat: a .305 batting average with 15 home runs, 83 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 1979 followed by a 1980 season where, although his numbers slipped across the board (.281-7-62-8, albeit in 22 fewer games) he set a team record that still stands with a 31-game hitting streak and was named to the AL All Star team. The 25 year old star's reward? A trade to the Dodgers for Mickey Hatcher and two other prospects who never sniffed the big leagues.
I hesitate to say the Twins traded all of their "stars" because the fact of the matter is they didn't have many, but here are other examples of the Twins trading their best players for younger and/or cheaper talent from 1979-1982:
- 12/4/78 ~ "Disco" Dan Ford to the Angels for Ron Jackson and Danny Goodwin
- 8/23/81 ~ Ron Jackson to the Tigers for Tim Corcoran
- 8/30/81 ~ Jerry Koosman to the White Sox for Ivan Mesa, Ronnie Perry, and Randy Johnson (no, not that Randy Johnson... this one!)
- 12/28/81 ~ Hosken Powell to the Blue Jays for Greg "Boomer" Wells
- 5/12/82 ~ Doug Corbett and Rob Wilfong to the Angels for Tom Brunansky, Mike Walters and cash
- 5/12/82 ~ Butch Wynegar and Roger Erickson to the Yankees for John Pacella, Larry Milbourne, Pete Filson and cash
Unlike any of these other trades, the Smalley-Davis trade was different because the Twins actually did receive a bona fide major league player. Sure, Ron Jackson and Landreaux were decent enough before they were jettisoned themselves, Pete Filson was a nice left arm out of the bullpen for a couple years, and the Brunansky acquistion would turn out to be one of the better trades in Twins history. But Davis had in fact been named to the American League All Star team in 1981 as a setup man for Goose Gossage. While it's more common today, it was rare back then for a middle relief pitcher to earn an All Star selection, but the Goose had perhaps the finest season of his Hall of Fame-worthy career with a 0.77 ERA and 20 saves in the strike-shortened season and Davis' selection to the All Star team was probably just as much a reward for his combined 23 wins in relief over the two previous seasons and Gossage's remarkable year as it was for his solid 1981 numbers (4 wins, 2.71 ERA, 83 strikeouts in 73 innings, and 6 saves of his own), but clearly R.D. would have been closing on many major league teams.
In 1982, Davis finally got his chance to be a closer when he threw on that #39 Twins uniform. Even if he didn't look the part - with his large bifocals and greasy hair you could have thrown an argyle sweater on him and called him your math teacher... hardly the intimidating look of Gossage's mustache and chops or the bushy black beards and steely-eyed stares of Bruce Sutter and Jeff Reardon - he fared decent. His 4.42 ERA was high, but I've always thought that was an overrated stat, especially for relievers. He did serve up 16 homeruns out of the bullpen, which I suppose should have probably raised a red flag, but in '82 balls were flying over the fences at the Dome at a record pace. (You didn't think it got the nickname "The Homerdome" from the likes of Scott Stahoviak and Pedro Munoz, did you?) But Davis did save 22 games in 27 opportunities for a team that won only 60 games and had NOTHING in front of him in the bullpen.
In 1983, Davis was even better. It was easily his best year as a closer as he finished third in the league with a career high 30 saves, posted a 3.34 ERA (his best as a Twin), cut down his home runs allowed to only six and, most importantly, only blew three save opportunities all season. 1983 may have been the finest season of Ron Davis' career, and he surely would've been given All Star consideration again if he were pitching for a contender. The Twins improved their team record by 10 games in 1983, finishing at 70-92. Still pathetic, but definitely improving. At this point it was obvious that they had a very talented young nucleus of hitters, and while the starting rotation was still full of holes behind a still-unreliable young Frank Viola and the surprising Ken Schrom, the bullpen actually had a pretty solid year with Rick Lysander, Len Whitehouse and Pete Filson all posting respectable numbers in front of Davis.
1984 is most notable in Twins history for two things, and rightly so. #1. May 8, 1984, the Twins insert a skinny rookie named Kirby Puckett into the starting lineup, batting leadoff and playing center field. He ties a major league record by recording four hits in his first game. #2. September 7, 1984, Calvin Griffith finalizes the sale of the Twins to Carl Pohlad.
So why wasn't it also notable for a division championship? Good question. I believe the Twins saw a weak AL Western Division in which they thought they could compete with their hitting and bullpen and that facilitated the trade of All Star left fielder Gary Ward to the Texas Rangers for starting pitchers Mike Smithson and John Butcher. 1984 was Viola's breakthrough year as he posted 18 wins and a 3.21 ERA, established himself as the ace of the Twins staff, and as one of the top left-handed pitchers in all of baseball. Smithson and Butcher both came through with career years in '84 as both accumulated well over 200 innings pitched, both posted double-digit win totals, and both had sub-4 ERAs (15 wins, 3.68 ERA for Smithson; 13 wins, 3.44 ERA for Butcher).
Offensively, Hrbek led the team with the best all-around numbers of his career (career-best .311 batting average, 27 home runs, career-best 107 RBI... I love Kent Hrbek - he may be my all-time favorite player - but he really did waste his talent... these are the types of numbers he was capable of putting up every year). Brunansky led the team with 32 home runs, but Gaetti's power numbers took a mysterious nosedive as he totalled only 5 home runs despite playing in every game. (It was the only season from 1982 to 1988 where Gaetti failed to homer 20 times! Really weird stat.) Gaetti's lack of production, as well as the loss of Ward's big bat, and the forced retirement of second baseman Castino due to chronic back pain was made up for in solid seasons from Mickey Hatcher, Dave Engle, and rookie second baseman Tim Teufel. Puckett was, of course, the catalyst with a .296 average, a team leading 14 stolen bases, and a soon-to-be-golden glove in center field.
The Twins finished with a .500 record in 1984. 81 wins and 81 losses. They tied with the Angels for second place in the AL West, just three games behind the Royals. It was their first finish of .500 or better since 1979 and a record that was unthinkable only two years earlier.
As a seven year old, I was on top of the world. I loved baseball more than anything and I had an exciting, young, competitive hometown team with great personalities like Kirby, Herbie, Bruno, the G-Man, and Sweet Music. But now, as a 28 year old, I'm pissed off. The division was theirs for the taking and Ron Davis cost them the pennant.
How did he do this? Well, Davis finished with 29 saves in 1984 - good enough for fifth in the American League. Ron Davis also blew 14 saves. 14. RON DAVIS BLEW 14 SAVE OPPORTUNITIES IN ONE SEASON! Think about that for a minute! I know I can not assume that the Twins ended up losing all 14 of those games. Giving Davis the benefit of the doubt, when a closer gives up the tying run it constitutes a blown save regardless of if his team comes back to win or not. So let's just assume that the Twins were able to come back and win a couple of those games. The stats tell me that they probably didn't, though. Because Ron Davis tallied 11 losses in 1984. Do you have any idea how difficult it is for a relief pitcher to hit double-figures in losses? The numbers do not lie, though. Davis posted 11 losses in 1984. He gave up 11 home runs as a closer, he led the team with eight wild pitches (I'd like to see a list of closers who have led their teams in that statistic... I can't imagine it's a long one), he lost 11 games and he blew 14 saves. In 1983 and again in 1985 Davis blew only three opportunites each year. Had he been able to keep that pace in '84 and blow only three that year as well, we are potentially talking about 11 more wins for the Twins - a 92-70 record that would have buried the Royals eight games back! And while that is a big hypothetical, let's just imagine if Davis were able to cut his blown saves in half. A 88-74 finish would have still put the Twins four games ahead of the Royals and into the playoffs.
Ron Davis, more than anyone else, is responsible for the Minnesota Twins missing the playoffs in 1984.

US and Turkey plan to train 2,000 Free Syrian Army rebels
The US is slated to train the Free Syrian Army in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. (AFP/File)
Turkey and the US have agreed to train some 2,000 rebels fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a report says.
According to a Saturday report by Turkey's Hurriyet Daily News, under a plan between the two governments, Free Syrian Army rebels (FSA) will be trained at the Kirsehir base, some 150 kilometers (90 miles) south of the capital, Ankara.
Both Turkish and American personnel are to undertake the training program which starts in late December 2014.
Washington will supply weapons for the rebels and is also expected to pay for the training, the English-language daily said, adding that the deal was clinched after a third round of negotiations between Turkish and US military officials in Ankara.
The officials, however, failed to agree on the training of Syrian Kurd fighters from the Democratic Union Party (PYD), who are leading the fight against ISIL militants for the border town of Kobane.
The US is slated to train these forces in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, the report said.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since 2011.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein has said that more than 200,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict since March 2011.

Illegal Internet Gambling
The Washington State Constitution (Article II Section 24) prohibits all gambling activities unless the activity is specifically authorized in State law. Internet gambling has never been authorized and is illegal in Washington State.
To further clarify this, in 2006, the Washington State Legislature amended RCW 9.46.240 to affirmatively state that Internet gambling is illegal in Washington State.
The penalty for transmitting gambling information was also increased from a gross misdemeanor to a class C felony.
It is illegal to:
- Operate an Internet gambling site.
- Gamble on the Internet.
- Install or maintain equipment to send or receive gambling information.
- Facilitate Internet gambling in any way.
Gambling Online is Risky
Unlike other licensed and regulated gambling activities, Internet gamblers don't know:
- Who is operating the gambling site;
- If the games are honest;
- If winnings will be paid;
- If the money wagered will be used for criminal purposes.
Players have no recourse if they are not paid or cheated.
Players put themselves at risk of credit card fraud, identity theft, or other financial crimes by disclosing information that should be kept secure.
Internet gambling creates an uncontrolled environment for problem gamblers and minors.

The Path To Finding Better Roofs
Roof Maintenance Tips.
When it comes to your roof there's nothing more important than normal quality maintenance. A roof that happens to sustain damaged will only get worse with time. Sometimes they can cost a lot of money if you put them off and don't do regular maintenance. You need to come up with a plan and take a few certain steps if you want to prevent any long term damage.
You need to inspect your roof regularly and take a look at it from the ground to check for any noticeable damage. Make sure to check the roof about twice a year so you'll notice when something goes wrong. You'll need to look for loose or missing tiles and see if the roof is suffering from any wear or tear. Look around the chimney area and be sure that everything is intact and there are no missing sections to the gutters.
If there is moss growing in the gutters this can cause real property damage. Any sort of vegetation needs to be cleared away to get rid of any possible problems. Moss can retain a large amount of moisture and will damage your roof in the winter months.
When you do notice a problem, such as a leaking roof, you should act fast as roofing maintenance can spiral out of control out of time if not properly addressed. You need to replace any missing shingles or slates before further damage happens to occur. There are a ton of signs that you should watch when checking your roof, like daylight penetration, broken shingles, debris from trees, and gutter sinking. You also need to check around the chimney for structural damage.
Where To Start with Roofing and More
If you happen to be an amateur to this sort of maintenance you need to understand that it can be dangerous and costly. Ask a surveyor for some advice and they can have an expert come in and have the job done properly. Roofing experts are accredited by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors. Other accreditation are the Guild of Master Craftsmen and the Federation of Master Builders. When it comes to unskilled labor or quick fixes you need to understand that these things often cause greater costs in the long term. If you have a leaning chimney or unusual roof coverings you may require a specialist or someone with more experience.
The Beginner's Guide to Services
When it comes to roofing repair you need to get a few good quotes before deciding on a contractor to do the work. Check with local property maintenance experts as they can often be a useful resource. Don't always go with the cheapest option as it's not always the best. You need to take into account the experience and reputation of the roofer you are considering putting in your hire.

On Tap celebrates 25 years of fast, friendly, efficient service

From humble beginnings in the small town of Pietermaritzburg, on tap now boasts a national footprint that spans across South Africa, with the intention of moving into Africa in the future. There are now 24 stores in five provinces and 2015 promises to be a year of great growth for the brand. Key geographical areas have been identified for growth and the opening of new stores in these areas is one of the focuses for the franchisor.
|The office staff, from left: Johan van Wyk (MD), Brigitte Rothman (financial manager), Chevaughn Nagiah (marketing administrator), and Janet Retief (marketing manager).
On Tap is continuously engaging with customers and keeping them abreast of news from suppliers and the company itself through various social media platforms. A few fun and interactive competitions with various themes have run on Facebook: such as Bubble Bath Day, Rubber Duck Day, and Popcorn Day. These initiatives create a fun way to keep in contact with new, existing, and potential customers while creating strong brand awareness.
Over the last 25 years the brand has experienced many peaks and troughs, which is natural in any and all franchises. On Tap is poised to take on the challenges of 2015 with great enthusiasm and will successfully trade. This is due to the work we started doing in 2013. In 2013 we prepared the ground for our foundation (going back to basics and consolidating, which has given On Tap a much needed new perspective and vigour for the industry). In 2014 we set the foundation down and 2015 will see us build on this foundation. On Tap has identified its key partners and suppliers, forming strong and lasting business relationships. This allows for On Tap to provide a range of superb quality products with ease.
The On Tap Group saw organic growth and new investments which delivered new milestones in 2014, bringing and restoring confidence that the foundation for continuing growth and value-creation has been broadened, and remains as robust as ever. In 2014 the On Tap Group grew 22,76% on 2013 and for the 2015 year to date the group is 26,07% up on 2014. This is a fantastic achievement and definitely worth celebrating along with 25 years of successful trading.
A new refreshed brand image was launched towards the end of 2014 and along with this, three new store concepts were born. These innovative concepts have been exceptionally well received in the market place.
The store concepts comprise of trade store, plumbing and bathrooms and a lifestyle store. The trade store, as the name suggests, targets primarily plumbers and contractors with a strong focus on plumbing supplies. These tend to be smaller stores. The plumbing and bathroom store is most similar to the existing store model, offering a balanced mix of a trade counter and showroom; displaying sanitaryware, baths and taps. The largest concept would be the lifestyle store; this is an innovative, fresh new look store offering both a trade store and a vastly extended showroom. In this store for instance, the category of surfaces will be introduced including paint, wallpaper, and countertops. A range of bath towels, mirrors, and gorgeous accessories will be introduced in these new stores. This will in time become the flagship stores for the brand, although they will be strategically appointed in specific areas across South Africa.
Expanding into new spheres this year with the introduction of Top Paints in the On Tap stores. Top Paints is a proudly South African, well-established paint company based in Meyerton. Top Paints offers a comprehensive and competitively priced range of products to suit the South African consumer.
On Tap is well into its 25th birthday celebrations and preparing for the year ahead. 2015 is the year for On Tap to dominate the trade with its collective wealth of knowledge and staff with the right expertise to steer it into the horizon of a successful year. On Tap aims to be at the forefront of not only innovation but also style and design. As time, style and products change, the on tap brand will continue to adapt flexibly to suit all its stakeholders.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 422,386, filed Sept. 24, 1982, now abandoned.
Schottky barrier devices comprise a conductor-semiconductor interface which acts as a rectifying junction. Theoretically, these devices have numerous applications because of their high-speed operation. However, in their simplest form, Schottky barrier devices exhibit a high reverse bias leakage current, and the reverse bias breakdown voltage is poorly defined and less than one-half the theoretical value. These deficiencies in operating characteristics are caused primarily by current flowing across the edge portion of the barrier when the device is reverse biased. To reduce this edge current flow, the regions in the semiconductor material underlying the edge of the Schottky barrier are doped with an impurity that provides a conductivity opposite to that of the remainder of this material. These oppositely doped regions are known as guard rings. Even with guard rings, however, the performance of Schottky barrier devices is significantly below theroretical values.
The present invention is an improved Schottky barrier device and a method of manufacturing such a device. The improvement lies in the insertion of a second guard ring in the semiconductor material adjacent the outer surface of the first ring and doped with the same type impurity as the first ring but at a substantially different concentration. This second ring widens the depletion region surrounding the first ring which causes a lowering of the electric field strength in this region. As a result, the breakdown voltage for the Schottky barrier device is increased without loss in speed or current handling capacity. The second ring lies generally below the insulating layer that is adjacent the conductor layer of the Schottky barrier. After the insulating layer is deposited but prior to laying the conductor layer of the Schottky barrier, both the first and second rings are inserted economically in one manufacturing step using the ion-implantation method. By properly adjusting the energy level and concentration of the ion implant, the concentration of impurities passing through the insulating layer and forming the second ring is significantly lower than the concentration of impurities passing directly into the semiconductor material and forming the first ring. The breakdown voltage at the interface between the rings and the oppositely-doped surrounding semiconductor material is higher than the breakdown voltage of the conductor-semiconductor interface forming the Schottky barrier. As a result, breakdown of the device occurs first along the Schottky barrier. In a second embodiment, after the ion-implantation step, the rings are deepened by diffusion causing the breakdown voltage along the ring-surrounding semiconductor interface to fall below the breakdown voltage of the Schottky barrier. As a result, in this second embodiment, breakdown of the device occurs first at the ring-surrounding semiconductor junction. In a third embodiment, the insulating layer is beveled along the edge contacting the conductor. This geometry results in a second ring of gradually decreasing impurity concentration in the direction away from the conductor layer because of the decreasing number of ions able to penetrate the insulating layer to form the second ring. As a result, the electric field in the depletion region surrounding the rings and along the schottky barrier is more evenly distributed, and the breakdown voltage for the device is increased.
FIGS. 1 and 3 are cross-sectional views of semiconductor wafers showing the step in the manufacture of a Schottky barrier device of forming a double guard ring by the ion-implantation method.
FIGS. 2 and 4 are cross-sectional views of Schottky barrier diodes formed by removing the photoresistant layer and adding conductor layers to the wafers of FIGS. 1 and 3, respectively.
The Figures are representational only and are not drawn to scale. The same reference characters are applied to similar elements throughout the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a semiconductor wafer such as silicon with substrate 11 heavily doped with impurities such as phosphorus to form an N-type of conductivity and epitaxial layer 5 more lightly doped with N-type impurities. While N-type impurities are used in the substrate and epitaxial layer of the present embodiment, it is possible also to use P-type impurities. The thickness and impurity concentration of epitaxial layer 5 depends on the particular breakdown voltage desired for the Schottky barrier device. Breakdown voltage increases with increasing thickness and decreasing impurity concentration of the epitaxial layer. For a device using the present invention, a breakdown voltage of 50 V was achieved with epitaxial layer 5 having a thickness of 5 microns and an impurity concentration of 7�1015 atoms/cm3, and a breakdown vo1tage of 120 V was achieved with an epitaxial layer having a thickness of 8 microns and an impurity concentration of 2�1015 atoms/cm3. An insulating layer 3 such as silicon oxide is formed on the epitaxial layer and an opening or window, typically 1 to 50 mils in diameter, is etched in the insulating layer by conventional photoetching techniques. The insulating layer thickness ranges between 2000 Å and 3000 Å. A layer of photoresistant material 1 such as KPR manufactured by Eastman Kodak is deposited on the silicon oxide layer and on the exposed portion of the epitaxial layer, and using conventional methods, an annular opening is formed in the photoresistant layer surrounding the periphery of the insulating layer, such that adjacent annular areas of the insulating and epitaxial layers are exposed. Using the ion implantation method, two adjacent guard rings 7 and 9 are formed in the epitaxial layer by perpendicularly directing at the annular opening in the photoresistant layer activated ions of a type producing a conductivity opposite to that of the epitaxial layer. These ions enter the epitaxial layer where it is exposed and, to a lesser extent, the epitaxial layer where it is covered only by the insulating layer. These ions are unable to penetrate the photoresistant layer. In this embodiment, activated ions such as boron are used to produce a P-type conductivity in the guard rings.
After formation of the guard rings, Schottky barrier 21 is formed by removing photoresistant layer 1 and depositing conductor layer 13 which may be a metal or metal-like material such as nickel chromium or tungsten in a laYer between 500 Å and 2000 Å thick. The conductor layer 13 covers the surface of epitaxial layer 5 where it is exposed by the circular opening in insulating layer 3. In this embodiment, the conductor layer also covers a portion of the surface of the insulating layer adjacent this opening. In this example, conductor layer 13 extends about 1 mil beyond the circumference that is directly above the outermost circumference of the guard rings. A Schottky barrier diode is constructed by additionally depositing contact metals 15 and 17 which may be a layer of platinum between 500 Å and 2000 Å thick and a layer of silver between 1 micron and 5 microns thick, respectively. These metals act as one terminal for the diode. A layer of contact metal 19 deposited on substrate layer 11 serves as the opposite terminal.
By adjusting the energy of the ion implant to a relatively low level, about 70 keV, only a small percentage of the ions striking insulating layer 3 are able to penetrate this layer to form guard ring 9. However, even at this relatively low energy level, virtually all the ions striking the epitaxial layer directly are able to penetrate into this layer to form guard ring 7. Therefore, the method of this invention enables the formation of two adjacent guard rings of substantially different net impurity concentrations in one manufacturing step.
With the thickness of insulating layer 3 known, the energy and impurity concentration or dose of the ion implant is selected to produce a net concentration of impurity atoms in ring 9 of between 4�1011 atoms/cm2 and 1.2�1012 atoms/cm2 and in ring 7 of between 5�1012 atoms/cm2 and 1�1015 atoms/cm2. If conductor layer 13 extends beyond the outermost circumference of the guard rings, then the net impurity concentration of ring 9 should be at the higher end of its range. If the conductor layer stops before this circumference, then the net impuritY concentration for ring 9 should be at the lower end of its range. The depth or thickness for ring 9 should be approximately 2000 Å and for ring 7 between 0.5 microns and 1 micron. The width of ring 7 in this example is approximately twice the thickness of epitaxial layer 5. The width of ring 9 should approximately equal the thickness of the epitaxial layer if conductor layer 13 extends beyond the outermost circumference of the guard rings, and, if the conductor layer does not extend beyond this circumference, the width of ring 9 should be approximately twice the thickness of the epitaxial layer.
Lightly doped guard ring 9 adjacent to heavily doped guard ring 7 produces a wider depletion region having a lower and more evenly distributed electric field than that surrounding only one heavily doped ring. The result is a higher overall breakdown voltage for the Schottky barrier device. This improvement is effected without increasing the thickness of the epitaxial layer and without a loss in the device's speed or current handling capacity. Moreover, since ring 7 is heavily doped and lightly doped ring 9 lies below insulating layer 3, there is no practical production of a parasitic Schottky transistor.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the impurity concentration of guard ring 9 gradually decreases in the direction away from the conductor layer. This gradient in the concentration of ring 9 is produced by beveling the peripheral edge of insulating layer 3 prior to implanting the rings. The gradient removes electric field irregularities in the region between the two rings and further improves the breakdown characteristics of the Schottky device. The bevel on the insulating layer is formed using the known photoetching technique of depositing a layer of silane over the insulating layer prior to etching the opening or window in this layer. This bevel has a slope of between 0.25 and 0.4. It would be preferable to have a slope of about 0.1; however, this present technique imposes a limit of about 0.25 on this slope. The specifications and manufacturing method for the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 are in all other respects the same as for the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
In another embodiment (not shown), after the ion-implantation step, the rings are deepened and, to a lesser extent, widened by diffusion to cause the breakdown voltage along the ring-surrounding semiconductor interface to fall below the breakdown voltage of the Schottky barrier. Diffusion is effected at about 1000� C. for approximately eight hours and results approximately in a doubling in the depth of the two rings and an increase in width for each ring equal to about two-thirds its increase in depth. The initial impurity concentration of each ring is increased somewhat to compensate for this diffusion.
Of course, it should be understood that although the specific embodiments described involve a circular semiconductor wafer, circular layers of other materials and annular or circular openings in these layers, this invention is not limited to any particular geometric shape or form.

Chelsea and Everton charged for mass scuffle
LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Chelsea and Everton have been charged by the FA after Wednesday's stormy Premier League encounter but Branislav Ivanovic will face no action for his clash with James McCarthy.
"Both Chelsea and Everton have been charged by the FA for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour," the governing body said in a statement on Thursday.
Tempers flared in the 86th minute of Chelsea's 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge as players from both teams confronted each other and Chelsea defender Ivanovic went unpunished after grabbing Everton midfielder McCarthy in an unseemly tussle.
Serb Ivanovic will face no action, however, after the FA said a three-member panel that reviewed the incident did not agree it was a sending-off offence.
Chelsea, who are seven points clear at the top of the table, have been without striker Diego Costa for the last three matches after he was banned for stamping.
Manager Jose Mourinho was also recently fined by the FA for suggesting there was a "campaign" to influence referees' decisions against his team. (Reporting by Toby Davis, editing by Tony Jimenez)

Also, if you haven't already, you should go read akamine_chan 's really nice post here about the importance of crediting non-fanfic creators, and the bias fandom has towards the written word. There's a challenge here encouraging leaving feedback on podfic and I'm going to challenge myself to leave proper good feedback on all the brbb fanmixes I've downloaded, since I don't listen to that much podfic. (I try and listen to more! but I can never find the right time and I struggle to focus on the story, it's such a tradegy since I've enjoyed so much of what I have listened to. Podficcers are a people I envy, I don't think I could do what they do.)
So, a little while ago, amisophe makes this excellent picspam about all the multitude of Ians but especially subby!Ian.
and I said we should get people to write subby!Ian and top!Brendon for us.and amisophe suggested talking about it on twitter until it infected someone's mind. and then a lot of not!fic happened. \o/ \o/ \o/
I've been calling this "Kinky Boyfriends" in my head, but basically Brendon hits Ian in the face a lot and then they cuddle. It's kinda awesome. (and as my first experience not!ficcing on twitter: holy fuck, that is harder than it looks, fitting porn into 140 characters.) Also, just pretend all the proper safety precautions have been taken. All the face slapping is consensual, which is the only kind of face slapping anyone should tolerate. I don't really know how to format this, so I just left our usernames attached and hoepd for the best. \o?

One of our teams made this video and placed it on YouTube. This shows some of what we are doing here in NYC. I have made myself today 132 gallons of coffee to take out in the morning. The replies back by social media have been phenomenal. It is hard to imagine for me a simple cup of coffee from a smiling face with a tee shirt on telling who we are could show this much goodwill, but it does. Thank you all for your prayers.
Please click on the link below to view this short video.
Untill next time, Lord willing,
