Q and A with Which? Legal Service(46 Posts)
Want to know more about your employment rights?
Are you are currently on maternity leave and want to better understand your rights? Or are you worried about redundancy? Or perhaps you?re working full-time and want to know if you have the right to ask to work part-time? Which? Legal Service could help.

Post your comments and questions here by Wednesday 24th May and they will do their best to answer as many questions as possible.
The company I work for have refused my application to return to work part time following maternity leave.
Another mum in the same position as me worked part time until her children were at school. Work have advised me the role has now changed and this is no longer appropriate. (I would argue the role hasn't changed significantly).
My son is disabled. Does this allow me any extra rights? Could this be disability discrimination?
Swansea, this has closed now. I suggest you start a separate thread...
My company is going through a restructure. One job out of our immediate team has disappeared. My position is the one they have elected to make redundant. I have been offered an alternative role but management insist I have to be in office 100% of time when my contract allows me to work some of the time from home so I can meet my childcare commitments. Do I have to accept? What happens if I turn it down? To make things more complicated, one of my colleagues has elected to retire, leaving a position still vacant in my immediate team. Should they offer this role to me considering it is more suitable to me in terms of hours? I suspect management will insist that this role too will now need to be performed 100% from office because they have been difficult about my flexible working since I returned from mat leave in March. They told me my old role had changed (which it hasn't) and could no longer support my flex working and moved me to this new role (which has now been made redundant) citing that this could support my flexi working. I suspect all along they want to abolish my flexible working. Can they do this?

Sorry for delay in getting back to those of you who were chasing the answers. The team have now answered your questions and you can see them on the archive page Many thanks to all who sent in their questions.
Well, that all turned out to be a bit of a let down.
What's happening with the answers?
Mumsnet HQ? any info on when replies are expected?
Does anybody know when we are getting the answers? Or has this been postponed?
I think Flowery & Ribena are just fab!!!
During the consultation period of my redundancy I was advised by ACAS to lodge a formal grievance about me not having a meaningful consultation (questions were not answered until the last possible moment so that I couldn't actually ask any further questions on the answers given) - taking care to label all correspondence as such- so that they would meaningfully consult with me before my redundancy was made final. I received a reply saying that they were not going to accept it as a grievance and instead would accept it as an appeal (even though the redundancy was not yet final). They also said that I was not allowed to use any of the issues I'd raised as grounds for a further appeal. When I questioned the fairness of this, they said that they'd done this after taking legal counsel.
Are they allowed to take away my right to appeal before the redundancy is final?
Is`that Weds 26th May or Mon 24th May?
My employer has adopted the policy that if anyone wants to reduce their hours from full time to part time they must drop down to a half post (17.5 hours per week). There is no flexibility around this. Also, the other half of the post is gone once someone takes it up. We are not able able to reduce hours for a period of time, then resume full time later on.
This is a change of policy from them and I wonder whether they are safe legally to do this. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I think I need to hide this thread it's frustrating me too much!
[needs to get a life emoticon]
Have found out recently that I am at risk of redundancy. My post is going to be cut as the loss of it is seen as not a big risk to the organisation. The reason it is not going to be a risk is that some parts of my work - including what is defined as my primary job function on my JD - have been given to two new posts which were created about 12 months ago.
At the time the new posts were created I asked a few questions, although not formally, and I was given vague, verbal re-assurance that my role was still clear. In hind-sight I would have asked for written confirmation of the affect of the new posts on my future position in the organisation, but hind-sight is a wonderful thing.
Where do I stand; is it too late to do anything? The two new posts are filled by women so not sexual discrimination. I have worked for the organisation for 15 years and have a perfect employment record.
Thanks - have been wondering who to get advice from.
Hi, I want to employ my currently unemployed sister (who herself is a parent) as my part-time nanny. Please can you advise me on tax responsibilities etc - is it correct that she cannot be self-employed as a nanny, as I have read on some websites?
Thanks for any advice.
If I work overtime can my employer insist that I get time back instead of extra pay?
I work in a day nursery with around 20 members of staff. The manager insists that we all have to attend staff meetings after work and open days and fun days on a weekend.The hours are then added up and we can take time off. Except, because the manager has to maintain ratios it is very difficult to actually take the time that is owing (and I am not convinced that the tally kept is accurate). Can I ask for the extra hours as pay instead?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I am employed on a full time contract from tuesday to saturday - so hence it is very rare that my working week falls on a bank holiday. I queried this a couple of years ago as my colleague works mon to friday and had the same holiday entitlement obviously got all the bank holidays off and they upped my holiday entitlement from 20 to 24 days as a result.
My original contract states
"You will be entitled to 20 days holiday per annum "
"You are entitled to all recognised public holidays in England and Wales.
Such holidays shall be granted with full pay"
Should I therefore now be entitled to 28 days plus bank holidays ? Or is it as I get now 24 days plus relevant bank holidays when they fall on a working day?
A colleague and I, both on maternity leave, have been made redundant. I am convinced that we were targeted specifically, though of course the company deny this. When I asked to see my scores, I realised, firstly, that there were some selection criteria that the employee rep (>20 jobs went in company in total) had not made me aware of, and secondly, that there were selection criteria such as current need/business need. I scored really low on this - obviously wasn't working on any projects while on maternity leave, so my manager had to give me a score based on whether they felt the business needed me. I can't see how this is an objective criterion - is this fair?
They also had been deducting my childcare vouchers from my SMP - I queried this before my redundancy and it was only after I appealed my redundancy and added this to the appeal that they've agreed to refund this money, though they're saying that I'm at fault because I still wanted childcare vouchers while on maternity leave. Is this true? They're also wanting to tax this money - if this is a childcare voucher payment surely it isn't meant to be taxed?
If I am undergoing medical tests (e.g. with a cardiologist) am I obliged to tell my employer about this, even before test results come through? And once they do come through, am I obliged to tell them about the results as well?
Thanks so much.

After Nearly Exiting, Redskins Defensive Coordinator Wants More
Thursday, December 25, 2008
Eleven months ago, Greg Blache was poised to retire from football, walking away from the long hours and stress and taking up a life of hunting and relaxation.
Since Redskins owner Daniel Snyder talked Blache into returning to the team as defensive coordinator, the coach has repeatedly talked about how much he has enjoyed himself. Yesterday, he called this the easiest season of his coaching career and said he was ready to return for a second year running the team's defense.
"And honestly, to be quite candid, this time of year is never a good time of year to make a decision, when you're tired," Blache said. "And that's what I did last year, I made a decision when I was tired. It's better for me to wait until I'm not, but right now, yeah, I'm up for it. I mean, it's been fun. Quite candidly, it's been fun. If I have this same quality of people to work with, it's easy to come to work every day."
While Blache's future with the team wasn't considered to be in doubt, his comments added another dose of stability to a week in which Vinny Cerrato, the Redskins' executive vice president for football operations, said Coach Jim Zorn would return in 2009.
"I've always planned on being back," Zorn said yesterday. "I know [of] no vote of confidence that I needed to feel like I was gonna be back."
Blache, meantime, said he was grateful that he hadn't followed through on his early retirement plans, saying he has thanked Snyder "because he saved me from something I didn't really want to do." The 59-year-old coach has directed the NFL's fourth-ranked defense, and the Redskins will finish among the NFL's top 10 defenses for the fourth time in Blache's five seasons with the team. During Blache's five years running the Chicago Bears' defense, he produced a top-10 unit just once.
"I've had so much fun with this group, it's really been a blessing for me, and so it's been a great year," Blache said yesterday. "I mean, there's some down times. There's some Sunday mornings when I'm thinking, 'Why am I doing this?' And there's been some Monday mornings where I thought, 'You know, I don't have to do this.'
"But all in all, the most consistent feeling has been a lot of pride to be associated with some class young men and a class organization. There's no utopias in our business. But the position that I'm in with the staff that I have to work with, the ownership, the leadership, I can't envision having a better job than what I have right now."
Blache has simplified the scheme used by former defensive boss Gregg Williams, but has retained many of the same concepts, personnel and assistant coaches. Players said Blache has told them several times how much he has enjoyed this season, and some said they've seen a different man.
"Obviously last year he was looking like, 'Man, you know, I'm ready to go hunting and enjoy my cabin' and stuff like that," linebacker London Fletcher said. Marcus Washington described Blache as "full of energy."
Blache, in his third decade of NFL coaching, said the difference has been his ability to delegate, passing on responsibilities to secondary coach Jerry Gray, safeties coach Steve Jackson and linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti.
"I just kind of sit on the bus and ride the bus," he said. "I don't even drive the bus. I just kind of ride along. These guys are the guys that power the bus. So for me, this has been the easiest year, this has been my easiest year coaching I ever remember having."
Zorn said Blache has also made his job easier; the two men attempt to have at least a short consultation every day, and Zorn said the defensive coordinator would be heavily involved in offseason schematic and personnel issues. Blache's defense is likely to lose at least a few significant pieces, but he deflected such questions yesterday, repeatedly saying that he would leave personnel and salary cap decisions to others.
"I know very little about personnel," Blache said. "I know nothing about money. It's a lack of experience: The little bit that I get, it goes out before I get my hands on it. Honestly, like I said, I'll coach 'em, and whoever's here, we're gonna coach 'em the best we can and roll from there."
The roster, though, is starting to bear his stamp. Midseason acquisition DeAngelo Hall, who has supplanted Carlos Rogers as the team's top cornerback, said part of the reason he signed with the Redskins was because of their coordinator. And Blache emphasized that his happiness this fall was because of the players at his disposal, and that a less appealing group may have chased him away from the game.
"In this day and age, where it becomes a 'Me! Me!' game, a 'Look at me! Look at me!' kind of deal, to have a group of guys that are unselfish and that can compete and look out for each other, it's refreshing for me," he said. "If I had a bunch of 'Look at me!' guys, I'd head for the hills in a heartbeat, because I'm too old for that. I'm a dinosaur. I'm from a different age. A lot of the stuff that happens in this game right now is not to my liking, but if I have a group like I do, it makes it so easy and so much more fun to come to work every day."

Firing Of Pakistan's Defense Secretary Raises Tension With Army
January 11, 2012 by staff
Firing Of Pakistan's Defense Secretary Raises Tension With Army, Pakistan's prime minister has sacked the defence secretary, his office said on Wednesday, in a move likely to ratchet up tension with the powerful military and raise fears of instability in a country vital to efforts to bring peace to Afghanistan.
The decision comes during intense friction between the civilian government and the army over an unsigned memo that sought U.S. help in reining in Pakistan's generals, a scandal dubbed as "memogate" that has reached the Supreme Court.
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's office said in a statement retired Lieutenant General Naeem Khalid Lodhi, the top defence bureaucrat, was fired for "gross misconduct and illegal action which created misunderstanding" between institutions.
Distrust between civilian leaders and the generals has bedevilled the nuclear-armed South Asian country for almost all of its existence, with the military ruling for more than half of its 64-year history after a series of coups.
A senior military official told Reuters the latest tension was "very serious."
Lodhi was replaced by cabinet secretary Nargis Sethi, who is considered close to Gilani.
If Gilani decides to dismiss the army or intelligence chiefs — arguably the two most powerful men in the country — he needs the defence secretary on his side.
Historically, military chiefs recommend appointments to the civilian defence secretary post and often choose allies, usually retired generals.
"Because this one (Lodhi) is the army's guy, they may consider this an insult," said Hasan Askari Rizvi, an independent politicalanlyst.
In December, President Asif Ali Zardari flew to Dubai for medical treatment, sparking rumours that he had fled the country anticipating a coup.
The military, which sets foreign and security policies, drew rare public criticism after U.S. special forces killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil in a unilateral raid in May last year, a raid seen as a flagrant violation of sovereignty.

The output of Mexico's cement producing companies increased 12 per cent YoY from January to April 2006, boosted by a rise in the capacity and demand, according to local press reports. National cement demand is expected to increase by four per cent YoY in full 2006, mainly in infrastructure and housings sectors. The rise in cement output in full 2006 will be the highest since 2000, according to Osmin Rendon, president of Mexico's national Cement Chamber (Canacem).
Mexico's cement sector will invest US$450m in the construction of plants, the enlargement of existing facilities, maintenance and environmental protection, Rendon said. The construction of a new cement plant by Lafarge in Tula, Hidalgo state, central Mexico, has attracted a total investment of US$121m. Mexican cement maker Cementos Cruz Azul will invest US$150m in a plant that is seen to open at end-2006. Cementos Moctezuma will invest US$130m in the introduction of a second line of production.

On April 26, 1315, the first Parliament of Scotland was held in Ayr by Robert The Bruce at St.John's Tower by the sea. It was once known as 'Inverair/Inverayr' and this usage is still retained in the Scottish Gaelic form of the name Inbhir Air. Later, during Cromwellian times, the town was used as a base and fortress for some of his men. Cromwell built a huge wall around certain areas of the town, most of which can still be seen today. St John's Tower was originally part of a massive church, but the church was knocked down, and the tower used to practise on; it is now protected by the "Friends Of Saint Johns Tower" (FROST) residents of the nearby "Fort Area".

Here is a sample of what you may see at Online Masters Degrees:
"Emotional intelligence is the way forward for business, or so it seems considering every individual major national and global company seems to be jumping on the bandwagon. More important than education at the moment, the concept of emotional intelligence has been around since Charles Darwin first invented and commented on the term in 1872. However, it was not until Daniel Goleman published several articles on its uses in business that the concept of online emotional intelligence surveys caught on. Today, if you work for a large company the likelihood is that you will be confronted with an emotional intelligence survey and consequent training at some stage.
Emotional intelligence is completely different to intellectual intelligence in that I relates to your own self-awareness. To be emotionally intelligence, you should be firmly in control of your emotions as a result of your own self-awareness as well as being sensitive enough to pick up on the moods of others. Intellectually intelligence relates directly to your academic and technical thoughts and abilities. As a result, they are completely the opposite."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this site no longer free?I realize very well that everyone wants freebies. But please consider this: It takes a lot of time and effort and money for me to maintain this website as a "free" service to everyone. I provide a lot of information on this site, I update my site constantly, continually adding new waterfalls to my growing list of over 900 waterfalls that I have now visited. I need some compensation to offset these costs in order to keep the web site up and running; otherwise, this site would have to be shutdown. $20 per year is really not very much money at all. Hopefully, you will agree and contribute a small fee to help maintain this website and help keep it going into the future.
What is included in a Basic Subscription?A basic subscription is only $20 / year. It will include ALL the information on my site: Photos, location, height, access, distance, elevation, season, difficulty, latitude/longitude, waterfall form, stream name, alternate names, detailed directions, detailed description of the waterfall, nearby waterfalls, user comments, and Google map location and trail routes, including GPX/KML downloadable maps. It includes this info for ALL waterfalls that I have personally visited (about 900 waterfalls), plus my ENTIRE database of California waterfalls (about 1700 confirmed waterfalls). This is FAR MORE than you will find from any other source, on-line or in print. With a basic subscription you will have access to all these waterfalls, and all the information I have about them, including latitude/longitude co-ordinates, approximate height, and links to photos that exist elsewhere on the internet (if any). If you would like to see the list of all the waterfalls included in the basic subscription, you can do so from my regional maps pages:
All of USA and Canada
California only
Oregon only
Hawaii only
How do I create a new account?To create a new account, go to the Create Account page, and enter all fields on the form. You will need to enter a userid, password, your email, and your complete name. After creating your account, you can pay for your subscription with secure Paypal by selecting the subscription option on the same page.
How do I renew my subscription?You can renew your subscription by going to the Renew Account page, select the desired option and use secure Paypal to complete your transaction.
How do I log in to my account?On the Login page, you enter your userid and password to login to your account. You can stay logged in permanently by the selecting the "stay logged in" option. Otherwise, you are automatically logged out when your browser is closed. If you have forgotten your userid or password, then click the appropriate link on this page. Cookies must be enabled on your computer.
How do I update information on my account?On the Account Update page, you can change your userid, password, email, and your name. You must be first logged in, in order to see this page.
Can I get a refund once I have paid for a subscription?No. All subscription payments are final.
Why shouldn't I just buy one of the existing CA Waterfall Books?Well, certainly some of those books may have excellent value, but they only include waterfalls that are easy to drive or hike to. They are not complete listings, and in certain cases, they contain much erroneous information as some of the authors have not even visited the waterfalls they write about. My website includes a ton more information, and many more waterfalls than are listed in those books. If you purchase my Premium subscription, you will receive a listing of practically ALL waterfalls in California, not just a few (as are listed in those books).
Can I obtain an electronic copy of the waterfall database in Access, Excel or some other format?Yes, for an additional cost.
How many waterfalls are included in the Basic subscription?The breakdown by state is as follows. Please take note of this if you are considering purchasing a subscription to this site: Alberta - 5
Alaska - 12
Arizona - 6
British Columbia - 69
California - 1670
Hawaii - 69
Idaho - 7
Montana - 7
Nevada - 4
New York - 7
Ontario - 8
Oregon - 136
Washington - 23
Wyoming - 19
Note: I currently am only charging for BC, California, Hawaii, and Oregon. All other states will remain free until I visit more waterfalls in those states.
How can I help?I would like to reward my viewers for helping me locate new waterfalls that I may not have listed in my database. I want my CA database to be completely complete. So here is how you can earn yourself a free subscription to my site. 1. First, you must purchase a Basic subscription for 1 year.
2. Check the database for your new waterfall to see if I have it listed already. If not, then tell me about it.
3. It must be a California waterfall only.
4. It must be on a "named" stream (on USGS Topo maps).
5. It must be at least 20 ft. high.
6. It must not be man-made.
7. It must have significant flow seasonally. Meaning, in either the winter or spring months, it must have significant flow throughout the season. In other words, if it flows only after very heavy rain for 2 days out of the year, then that should not be considered.
8. In general, multiple falls on the same stream will be considered one single waterfall, unless they are separated by a distance of more than 0.5 miles.
9. You must be able to provide me with precise co-ordinates. Preferably, latitude/longitude co-ordinates. If you don't know that, then you must provide explicit detailed directions and location. I must be able to pinpoint the exact co-ordinates of the waterfall to include it in my database.
10. You must be able to provide a photo of the waterfall. A link to another person's photo of the waterfall on the internet will suffice, as long as it is clearly indicated that it is the same waterfall.
If you tell me about enough new waterfalls that I decide to include on my website (10 or more), then I will reward you with a free lifetime subscription to my website.
What is my privacy policy?I will never ever share your email or personal information with any other party. Your personal information is stored encrypted in my database. I do not store any of your financial credit card information. I do not even know any of your financial information as your payments are sent through Paypal via a secure transaction, and I do not see that.

The Minnesota Nurses Association signed a three-year collective bargaining agreement with 14 Twin Cities hospitals on July 6, just days before a strike deadline set by the union.
The hospitals had sought the right to "float" registered nurses to any hospital at any time, but eventually backed off that demand and a proposal to modify nurse pensions. Pension funding remains unchanged under the new agreement.
The union gave in on strict patient-to-nurse ratios. Instead, the contract promises that existing committees at the various hospitals will examine staffing issues throughout the life of the contract.
Federal mediators assisted in the negotiations after the nurses staged a one-day strike on June 10. With 12,000 nurses participating in the walk-out, it was the largest nurses' strike in U.S. history.
The Minnesota Nurses Association is affiliated with National Nurses United (NNU), a new nationwide labor union spearheaded by the California Nurses Association. Begun in 2009, the NNU is the nation's largest nurses' union.

The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her. - Luke 10:41-42I love this gospel reading. It is a popular one with various interpretations and I love reading them all.
Of course, we each see this differently at different times. The Holy Spirit comes to us where we are, giving us our own thoughts and ideas of what any scripture verse may be telling us.
Today I hear Jesus reassuring Martha that Mary has chosen the better part and that it's OK. Mary has not done anything wrong but neither has Martha. Just different.
Jesus tells Martha not to worry about it. To learn to let go of what bothers her. She does not need to worry about what others are doing, only what she herself is doing.
So often we compare our spiritual growth with others. We wonder if we are as "far along" as others on the journey.
"Is he closer to God than I am?"
"Is she praying the right way?"
"Are they doing enough for the church?"
I learned a long time ago that I should not compare myself to others, that I should not judge. What is important is to know that I am on the spiritual journey, that I am praying, that I am working on my own personal relationship with God. And that is where I need to focus.
Focus my heart and mind and life on Jesus.
Dear Lord, I want to be more like Mary. I want to choose the better part. I want to sit at your feet, spending time with you, listening, being still. Help me, Lord, to grow closer to you and make you Number One in my life. Help me to worry less, to be less anxious, and to sit at your feet instead. Amen.

Guys about the Aerosmith concert, OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
From: Dan Weiner
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 08:27:52 -0800
Subject: Re: AEROSMITH MANILA AD
I am the exclusive agent for Aerosmith. There is absolutely no truth to advertisements or rumors that have been appearing lately that Aerosmith will be playing in Manila during this year. We are all very concerned and upset that Aerosmith's fans are being misled and hope and trust that no one has bought worthless tickets for events that do not exist.
Dan Weiner
WEBSITE: www.paradigmagency.com/divisions/music
note: The email is from a local concert producer here in the Philippines that receives the email from Dan Weiner of Paradigm. The local concert producer forwarded his email reply to us to let everyone know that the Aerosmith concert in Manila is not true.

Hey there,
I'm Matt Milligan, but my friends call me Matty.
After years of following Gary Vaynerchuk, taking the Tai Lopez Social Media certification course and reading over 500 business/marketing books, I became one of a few certified social media marketing consultants in Canada.
After several business ventures of my own, I decide to pursue my passion in digital marketing. I noticed the struggle small businesses have to cultivate consistent content that has an effective message and also invites engagement. Most business owners don't have the time it takes to run an effective digital marketing campaign or to educate themselves on how to effectively utilize digital marketing channels. Contact me to find out how we can help you grow your small business with digital marketing and social media.
S how can I help you?
Do you need help you taking your online business to the next level?
As a business owner, it isn't always easy to manage a website, multiple social media accounts and develop new marketing campaigns.
Like most business owners, you want to increase your sales and focus your time and energy doing what you love.
But how do get more people to actually visit your website and buy your service or product?
Maybe you feel overwhelmed by technology and confused by the amount of information there is out there
Maybe you have been burned in the past by expensive marketing agencies or "internet guru's"
Maybe you feel like you don't have the time to figure everything out yourself and are already burnt out
If this is you, I believe I can definitely help!
My goal is to get people to respond to your advertisements and your marketing messages in the most profitable way possible because bankable results are the only thing that matters in business.
In my opinion, here are the most successful digital marketing strategies you need to grow your business and increase sales:
Facebook Marketing - so you can scale your business fast, even on a tiny budget
Video Marketing - so you can build a close connection with your audience and increase your brand's perceived value.
Lead Magnets - so you can build rapport and reciprocity amongst your following from day 1 (this makes selling later a breeze!)
Social Media - so you can grow your following and presence online organically
Copywriting - so you can engage your target audience and get them to take action on your offers
Business Automation - so you can avoid feeling chained to your business and live a life of freedom
When growing your business, I want to ensure that your marketing investments result in the best possible ROI for your company.
I'll even do most of the heavy lifting...telling you what sort of emails to to send, how to position your offer and how to bring in back-end money as well.
Together, we'll create systems, track the results and analyze the data in order to optimize your campaigns.
Online marketing is something I deeply enjoy. This is the thing I do best, and it makes me very, very happy to see someone achieve financial success (and all that comes with it) as a result of the help I give them.
Here are the services that I can help you with:
Web design

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Brand Storytelling
Social Media Marketing
Google Ads
Facebook Ads
Pinterest Ads
Twitter Ads
Snapchat Ads
Banner Ad Networks
Lead Generation

Every day, the world breaks my heart. The destruction of the environment. The horrors of factory farms. The rending of our social fabric by alienation, disrespect and deceit. Every day, I fail to live up to my hopes. My war against climate change, declared so quixotically back in March of 2013, has come to naught. Ditto my quest to save democracy. If anything, both are worse off than when I began.
Maybe I aimed too high. As more than one person has told me, one person can't change the world.
. . . An arguable point. Think Hitler. Think Mahatma Gandhi. Going forward, think Vandana Shiva and Bill Mollison. Going backwards, think Orange Julius.
Orange Juliu is assaulting our rights, insulting our citizens, spewing hate and greed, casting aspersions on truth and holding the flag of deception high and proud, all the while ignoring the no longer hypothetical warming of the planet. Orange Julius and his diabolic appointees exude that gross ethos that has evolved in certain strata of America. Not that around Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness but around money. Moneymoneymoneymoneymoney gives meaning and purpose to life. And if you don't have enough of it—and there is never enough—you will be crushed. Thus, those with it grasp, in terror, for more, and We, The People are in a "crossfire chicken wing"—one of the top ten best wrestling holds used to bring the enemy to its knees.
The enemy, apparently, is us.
The good news? Our infantilization is over. Orange Julius has wiped the vernix from our eyes. It is now perfectly clear what We, The People are up against: Demo-n-Capitalism. Like Orange Julius, it doesn't care about right or wrong. It has the power and will do anything, anything at all, to keep it.
More good news: Had HRC won—which she did but who's counting? And had she been the one inaugurated today, We, The People would have continued as we were. We would have popped some GMO'ed popcorn and settled in for another four years of Republican rabidity, searching for something, anything, that would stick against the Clintons that the Republicans were not, themselves, guilty of. We would have continued to watch the lowering baseline of our environment, our economy, our politics and our humanity. In short, we would have maintained the entirely unsustainable status quo.
Instead? We have a choice: Door number one, change and sacrifice in the name of a greater good, or door number two, wait for someone to save us, with that someone not being anywhere in sight.
Four years ago, in a baby step way and not really aware of the extent of the consequences, I chose a prototype to door number one. I moved to Darwin's View. Here, I am looking deep, trying to find my heart's purpose and how I might fulfill what potential is me.
Each of us has that: potential, a heart's purpose.
This Tory is a liberal, and proud to be. And I have never had my life, liberty and happiness threatened as deeply as it is today. I am not black nor brown. I am not poor. I speak English with an occasion dip into a rebel Rhode Island twang or a New Hampshire drawl. But, as are so many black, brown, poor, non-native speaking people living in this country, I am an American. I might not be proud of what my country has done in the name of progress and oil and money but I am proud of what this country might become—will become if We, The People look deep and find how we each might act out our life's purpose, and help others to do the same.
The best news of all: Today, the inauguration of Orange Julius, is a 9/11 moment. People all around the world are marching with us against misogyny, sexism, racism, zealotry, ignorance, and for the planet. We are not alone if we choose not to be. We are not alienated unless we opt not to see how connected we are to each other and to this beautiful planet. It has taken decades for us to get to this point of change. It's a personal choice how we each will act. To march or not. To fight—literally or figuratively—or not. But this need not be a lonely work.
To save the world and its soils and water and sentient creatures, to save our democracy and the freedoms we hold dear, is actually very simple, if a challenge to implement. We have the tools to heal and the power to shift from greed, domination and consumerism to compassion, equality and sustainability. Think local. Think community. Think solar eclipse. The moon, feminine, covering, calming, nurturing the sun, masculine in the midst of a two year olds tantrum of mememememoney. The mother asking us to listen, not the father requiring us to submit.
My baby steps.
For the past week, I have been calling my senators and representatives, speaking of my outrage at Orange Julius's nominees. If nothing else, I now have a rapport with the folks who answer the phones. This will become a dialogue. I will learn from it.
This morning, I was disappointed in myself. I didn't have the courage to go by myself to march anywhere. And then I spoke with a friend and tomorrow, she and her husband and Carl and I are going to Concord to march. And we will meet up with this friend's friends and now, instead of judging my limitations, I am excited to be with people, meet people, maybe even volunteer to help.
And soon, I will plant seeds in soil, and Carl and I will begin to implement what we have been preparing, in our ad hoc way, for four years. The way forward. I come back to Vandana Shiva and seeds, and to Bill Mollison and permaculture.
Is that my path?
I don't know. But I do know this: Our democracy, our planet and we are in grave danger. Our government doesn't care. Each day we each must choose and every one of those choices matter.

When Nene strolled to the scorer's table with 3 minutes, 12 seconds remaining in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against Charlotte, the mere sight of the Washington Wizards forward in uniform drew a loud ovation from the Verizon Center crowd, some of whom stood up to welcome back the veteran following a six-week layoff.
Though both the Wizards and their fans ultimately left the arena searching for answers following a 94-88 overtime loss that knocked them down to the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference standings, Nene offered a bit of optimism by scoring 10 points in 17 minutes of solid action.
With just two days of full practice under his belt and Wednesday's game percolating with a playoff-type atmosphere, Nene's initial feelings afterward were ones of fatigue and soreness. But like the Wizards, who shook off a flat start to turn a 20-point deficit into a brief two-point lead, Nene's confidence and performance improved with time.
"For sure, I feel a little tired," Nene said. "My leg was a little heavy in the beginning. But I adjusted myself in the second half. That is part of the process. I was a little excited. It is supposed to be the most important game of the year. But in the second half, I relaxed myself a little bit, just tried to be me."
The early nerves surfaced when he missed his first two free throws and then, in the final moments of the first quarter, held the ball too long as the buzzer sounded to end the period. But later, after laying in an easy bucket, Nene flashed a smile of relief while jogging back downcourt.
After knocking down his first jump shot in his seventh minute of action, Nene checked out of the game with the Wizards trailing by 15 points.
In his place came Trevor Booker, who stepped into a starting role during Nene's 21-game absence. Booker looked anything but ready to give up his spot Wednesday, serving as the Wizards lone source of energy and consistent offense in the first half and paving the way for the 25-6 run that pulled them back into contention.
"I guess he needs Nene to feel that breath on his back," said Marcin Gortat, who finished with a team-high 27 points and 14 rebounds. "Tonight he played great. He was outstanding for us. He had a lot of energy, he was hustling. You've got to play like this every day."
Entering Wednesday's game, the lingering question was how would Nene's return affect the minutes previously spread among Booker, Gortat and Drew Gooden. The unit proved strong in the post, outscoring the Bobcats 50-28 in the paint to help the Wizards counter their 1-for-15 performance from the three-point line.
While Booker was nearly perfect in 30 minutes with 16 points on 4-for-5 shooting from the field and 8-for-8 from the foul line, it was Gooden who played most of the fourth quarter. Nene returned early in the fourth period, knocking down a couple baseline jumpers while showing off his interior passing with a nice dish to Gortat for a dunk. His night ended with about five minutes left in regulation.
"(Booker's) gonna have his minutes and obviously when Nene gets going his minutes will go up, too," Wizards Coach Randy Wittman said. "I'll play it depending on matchups and things of that nature. Al (Harrington) will have a chance to play too."
Nene alluded to the notion that a 16-20 minute cap was placed on him Wednesday and could continue going forward, depending on how his knee responds and develops.
"In the playoffs, it's a different thing, but until the season is over, I am going to be around 16 (minutes), when I feel better, 20, and then we talk," Nene said.
Following Thursday's morning practice, the Wizards will fly to Orlando for a Friday contest before flying back home for a Saturday game against Milwaukee.
"I thought he did fine" Wittman said of Nene. "For being out seven weeks, he was a little rusty, a little winded. But you can tell a big difference that he makes for us. It's good to have him back."

Gruppo Mastrotto: leather experience
Gruppo Mastrotto was established in 1958, when Santo and Bruno together with Arciso, their father, laid the foundations of a company that now employs more than 2,200 staff throughout the world and has an annual turnover of more than 460 million Euros.
The Group has 15 locations: 7 manufacturing plants and 5 logistic facilities are in the so-called "leather district" in Arzignano, close to Vicenza, whereas 3 other manufacturing plants are in Brazil, in Tunisia, and in Indonesia, respectively.
Commitment, creativity and professionalism made Gruppo Mastrotto a point of reference in the processing of bovine hides for the furnishing, footwear, leather goods, automotive, apparel, marine and aviation industry. The Group has stood out over time in all these sectors thanks to constant technological innovation and the capability to anticipate the new trends of style, applying its know-how to the specific requests of any single field of application.
Quality, research, innovation, technological development, attention to the safety of the employees and the environment are the goals that Gruppo Mastrotto has been pursuing every day for over fifty years. The quality management system, complying with international standard ISO 9001, and environmental certification ISO 14001 guarantee the professionalism and the social responsibility of the Group, key values in the everyday management and operation of the whole Group.
Respecting the environment: a corporate priority
Being an international player in the tanning industry involves great responsibilities towards customers, staff and the environment in general. Over the years the managers at Gruppo Mastrotto have made increasing investments to adopt solutions aimed at minimising the impact that hides treatment has on the environment and have promoted tangible initiatives with their partners and all their staff.
Such policy has led to implementing water-based finishing processes, building water purification plants and reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide with a 1,000 Kw cogeneration plant – corresponding to the electric power of more than 300 apartments –, simultaneously producing combined heat and power. A totally electric-powered industrial loader – the first in the world – was planned and built to handle the hides: it is now available in all the production plants of the Group and is also testament to the attention directed to health protection at work.
Full grain, half grain, and nubuck leather for the furniture, hospitality, contract, and residential sectors.

When you need to downsize your organization, you may worry if a disproportionate number of the employees that are terminated are members of a protected class. That can happen if you recently hired more minority employees and now have to cut the labor budget.
Ordinarily, courts will view your retention decision with suspicion if you discharge qualified minority employees but retain white employees. But, as a new ruling shows, you can justify your decision by having clear documentation that shows you had a seniority rule in place and followed it.
Recent case: David Johnson, a black male, sued Keebler-Sunshine Biscuits when he lost his job during a round of downsizing while a white female was retained. Pursuant to a union contract, the female had "bumped" Johnson out of his position because she had seniority.
The court dismissed his lawsuit, saying that since Keebler had a pre-existing bump rule based on seniority, it had a legitimate reason unrelated to race for not retaining Johnson. (Johnson v. Keebler-Sunshine Biscuits, No. 06-3219, 3rd Cir., 2007)
Final tip: To avoid risking a lawsuit, always apply rules uniformly. For example, if a company applies the seniority rule for some positions but not others, the result would smack of manipulation to retain a favored race. Also, make sure employees understand the retention criteria.

Bulgarian border police, with help from their Polish counterparts, on Wednesday arrested human traffickers trying to smuggle 30 illegal immigrants into Germany, the interior ministry said in a statement.
Following a tip-off from Polish border police, Bulgarian officers found some 30 illegal immigrants, believed to be Iraqi, hidden in special compartments of a trailer truck with Polish licence plates, the ministry said.
The truck was stopped after crossing into Bulgaria from Greece at the Ilinden-Exohi border checkpoint.
The 34-year-old Greek driver of the truck and his 35-year-old passenger were arrested, the ministry said.

But you know what happens with best-laid plans...
First, as I was getting ready to hang more wallpaper Thursday afternoon, I noticed that the trim around the big window in the front parlor looked a little scroungy. Then I realized that's because it's still white. White. Not Lyndhurst Estate Cream like the rest of the trim in the parlor. Somehow, way back when, I completely missed painting that window trim.
Then, Charles worked a 15-hour day on Thursday, which put him back in town after 11 pm....a little late to ask a normal person to help me move furniture. (Note that I, not being a normal person, would and often do begin a project after 11 pm...) So, we rescheduled the furniture-moving and floor-prepping for Friday. And then Charles got sick with this icky upper respiratory stuff that's going around.
Still, I have plenty to do even without the dining room floor, right? So I got up Friday morning(ish), intending to paint that window trim. After about an hour of walking around my house freezing and shivering and coughing my head off, I realized that no work on the house was gonna happen.
I spent Friday and most of Saturday tucked into bed with my Nook, the kitties, my flannel jammies, and copious amounts of NyQuil and hot apple cider. I'm feeling much better now.
Just in time to go back to work for three nights.

O joy. Hopefully this'll be it in the respiratory infection department for the rest of the winter.ReplyDelete
But you know, I'm not at all surprised at the interruptions and delays. Going by the way things work with my reno, I'd be more shocked if any of us got a project like that done in such a short timeframe as you planned. The only person who seems to start a project and next thing you know, it's done, is Greg at the Petch House. And even he's been at the overall effort for years.
Get better. And God willing, there will be plenty of "Lyndhurst Estate Cream" in the can and it won't be mouldy or hard or full of little rust flakes. Which it probably would be if I were in your situation.
Oh man, I had that stuff the week after Christmas. Nasty, I'm sure the kitties were wonderful nurse maids.ReplyDelete
Greg at Petch House is astounding, but then you notice he seems to collapse for a few months :-) Hi, Greg :-)ReplyDelete
Kate H., I am the Queen of Interruptions and Delays! Most of them are self-inflicted. :) I know where the paint can is...but I have the same worries as you about the paint inside.ReplyDelete
Christine, They are very good little foot-warmers and snugglers. :)
Karen Anne, I agree--Greg's astounding! I'd collapse too after all that work! :)

Joshua Glenn of the Boston Globe has created an audio slideshow presentation that points out the influence of cartoonist Winsor McCay on cinema. Films like King Kong, Dumbo, and Mary Poppins are used as examples.
(via BB)
Great piece, Joshua —Thanks!
I've always thought that Winsor McCay was the greatest animation pioneer that influenced nobody. His draughtsmanship was too sophisticated to be mass-produced, so animation went the hose-and-circles route and evolved from there.
It's no surprise that there are more homages to McCay's ideas than his style. Notice how many films mentioned are live action.
Oh, my WORD! Quiiiiite fascinating!! I love the parallels. Who knew??
I love this Chuck Jones quote about McCay:
"It is as though the first creature to emerge from the primeval slime was Albert Einstein; and the second was an amoeba, because after McCay's animation, it took his followers nearly twenty years to find out how he did it."
Its wonderful to see all these great McCay anthologies coming out! I love seeing McCay's work get the attention it deserves.
We're also trying to give Winsor McCay some much overdue attention in his hometown. I welcome anyone that's interested in such news to check out the updates here: http://springlakemccay.blogspot.com/
Yea McCay!
I always wondered what his influence was on film editing. The idea that sequential composed shots can relate to each other in a way that makes immediate sense to the human mind. It was my understanding that was one of McKay's great achievements was bringing that kind of putting images in sequence in a revolutionary way to comics.
Actually this post happens to bring up the two things that at provoked me about Ulrich Merkl's amazing and borderline unwieldy book (which by the way I'm thrilled to own).
Firstly the graphic use of red re-coloring (as seen in the image above). While fortunately it's not employed in the full strip examples within the book, the repeated use red highlighting inside many excerpted panels throughout the book is a notable eyesore within the book's design. It reminds me of someone being obsessed with using a highlighter pen. Could it be because the author could work with a second color plate they did that
Mainly the crux of what troubles me is what exactly to make of the strip and famous film parallels being presented by Mr. Merkl (and multimedia-ized in the Boston Globe webpage). In one sense maybe I can be understanding. Mr. Merkl seems to be saying "hey look, isn't this amazing how close the McCay strip of the 1900s or 1910s is to the 1930s or later film. So in the sense of finding what could be at minimum a coincidence is at least interesting.
The author seems to imply but doesn't seem to outright claim the film works were inspired by (or potentially even ripped off from) the strip. What bothers me is the lack of any scholarly backing up of the examples. I mean it's one thing to bring up the coincidence. Perhaps the author is just hoping someone reading the book will take up the challenge of providing some scholarship as proof. The Boston Globe surely goes out to a greater audience than the book, which certainly helps promote the book, but seemingly might help establish an unproven myth that the films and filmmakers cited were indeed influenced by the strip. The book doesn't provide any info I could find on who could have been exposed to the work. Unlike for instance major European artists in the 1930s mentioning admiration of "Krazy Kat" by name, a strip that was contemporary, I for one wonder what kind of exposure the various filmmakers could have had to these decades old strips.
An equal point might be made in my mind is that as the strip mined nightmare archetypes for 800 or so stories, one would be surprised if there weren't parallels with a good portion of nightmare situations depicted in films.
Nicholas: Yes, it would be nice if the book led to some substantiation of these various "coincidences". At the same time, I wouldn't discount the influence of decades-old artwork either. Just look at the impact of Heinrich Kley on Disney artists during the 30's and 40's.

Now I have never seen a Harry Potter movie, probably never will, but Emma has grown into a very attractive woman so maybe when it comes on cable I'll check it out. If this leather like top she has on is any indication she has some wild scandal possibility in her in years to come.

JobCover placement program
The JobCover placement program offers eligible employers incentives of up to $27,400 to employ a worker who has a work related injury and is unable to return to work with their pre-injury employer.
The employer incentive payment increases according to the length of time the injured worker remains employed with the new employer:
- up to $400 per week for first 12 weeks (maximum of $4,800)
- up to $500 per week for next 14 weeks (maximum of $7,000)
- up to $600 per week for next 26 weeks (maximum of $15,600)
In addition:
- the injured worker's wages are not included in the calculation of the new employer's workers compensation premium for two years, and
- the new employer is protected against the costs associated with changes occurring to the worker's existing injury during the first two years of their employment.
The fact sheet for workers and employers contains information about the JobCover placement program.
How to apply
Speak to the insurer managing the claim to find out if this program is right for you. The JobCover guidance material outlines the benefits of the program, the responsibilities of all parties and the process for commencing the program.
Complete the JobCover agreement form. This is used by the insurer to certify eligibility and agreement of the worker and employer to participate in the JobCover placement program. It must be completed before the worker starts work.
To claim the incentive payments at 12, 26 and 52 weeks for a worker participating in the program, the employer completes the incentive payment claim form.

Area of Study 1: How are species related?
Outcome 1: "On completion of this unit the student should be able to (1) analyse evidence for evolutionary change, (2) explain how relatedness between species is determined, and (3) elaborate on the consequences of biological change in human evolution."
Evidence for evolutionary change is abundant in the fossil record, biogeography (distribution of species across the earth), developmental biology and structural morphology. This area of study will allow us to investigate these four types of evidence.
Paleontologists have unearthed a wide range of evidence that provides a record of the change in the number of different species and the particular characteristics of those species over time. The fossil record demonstrates that living organisms first evolved in aquatic environments and gradually moved onto land. After plants had successfully colonized terrestrial habitats and converted a percentage of carbon dioxide into oxygen, animals were able to survive out of the oceans and freshwater environments. Evidence for these changes lies in the relative ages and absolute dating of fossils in different parts of the world.
Other evidence is provided by the similarities between living species – homologous structures in vertebrates, for example – and the similarities in developmental biology among different species. These similarities suggest that living organisms descended from a common ancestor and that species that are more closely related in the family tree have a more recent common ancestor. This evidence is supported by genetic research which confirms evolutionary relationships between species.

U.S. law enforcement officials passed up multiple opportunities to arrest and indict an American who was eventually charged in Mexico with transporting grenade parts from the United States to drug cartels, according to a government review.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a report released Thursday that U.S. authorities who were monitoring suspected smuggler Jean Baptiste Kingery employed some of the same flawed strategies and tactics that they used in the controversial "Fast and Furious" gunwalking operation.
According to the review, prosecutors with the U.S. attorney's office in Arizona repeatedly declined to indict Kingery when they had opportunities to do so in 2010 and 2011. The report also said agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) failed to insist upon strong enforcement action against the suspect.
"[G]iven the seriousness of Kingery's offenses, his connection to Mexican drug cartels, his residence in Mexico, his drug use, and his repeated, undetected border crossings, Kingery represented a danger to the public and risk of flight," Horowitz said.

I have been distant for the past 1 1/2 weeks as I've decided to take some R&R time off after we shipped. Despite a case of stomach flu for both me and my wife (i.e: fighting over the bathroom). This was a well needed period of sleep-ins and catching up on house and publishing work.
One drawback was that we got bored and went driving around, now we want to buy a new house. 🙂
Realistically, our current home is only 1200 sq. ft., which is not much room when you consider we have 3 parrots, 3 cats and a book publishing business. We are still looking around at this moment but the main factor will be wether or not we can find something bigger, within a reasonable commute, that we can actually afford.

Protection in Three Prophetic Components
In our last installment regarding Prophetic gifting and ministry we began to address protecting the prophetic (click here to read the previous). Let's now look at another aspect of protecting the prophetic.
Understanding Three Components of the Prophetic
Understanding the three components of the prophetic is strategic. The three components are first revelation, second interpretation, and third application.
Revelation simply is that which is received from the Lord; whether it is via a dream, a vision, words, or any other means by which God communicates to people. It simply is the message or revelatory disclosure itself.
The interpretation component is what is meant by what is received. Another way of stating it is, "What does God want to communicate by the revelation or prophetic disclosure he has given?"
Lastly, the application component is determining what God wants us to do with the revelation/interpretation we received.
The person who teaches the Bible will identify with these components. The revelation (Scripture) is first identified. Then principles of interpretation are applied to determine the truth God was communicating to the original audience. Then finally when the revelation has been interpreted the next step is to understand how God wants the truths to be applied to the contemporary audience.
It is important to keep each component distinct and give separate attention to each. Identify clearly what was received, then what does God want to communicate through what was received, and finally what is to be done with what was received – whether we sit on it, pray on it, or act on it.
The simple discipline of giving due diligence distinctly to each component, without assumption, can save unnecessary confusion and offenses related to the prophetic. Remember to ask, "What is the revelation?" "What is the message in the revelation"? and "What does God want me to do with the revelation?
In pursuit of Living Free with you,
Stay tuned for our new "Living Free Journal" …coming soon!

Call it mystery money. Couched in Mayor Bloombergs capital budget, released last week, is $205 million earmarked for the Atlantic Yards project. The line item more than doubles the $100 million that the city has already given toward the Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC) project for infrastructure costs. It also is on top of the $100 million the state has given for infrastructure costs towards construction of 16 skyscrapers and the arena which will house the Nets basketball franchise. The additional funding is for infrastructure improvements, several of which would have been required with or without the construction of the Atlantic Yards Development and others that are necessary regardless of what is built on the site, said Bloomberg spokesperson John Gallagher in an e-mailed statement. This project will create jobs, provide affordable housing and generate billions of dollars in tax revenue and represents a solid investment of taxpayer resources, he added, refusing to comment or answer any questions further. FCRC refused comment on the money. However, opponents of the project were quick to jump on the money as an indication of the escalating public costs. The public costs keep rising, and yet we have a paltry amount of housing that is affordable to the average Brooklynite, and no agreement with the construction trades union to work with local residents who need jobs, said City Council member Letitia James. Im distressed to learn there is even more of a direct subsidy for Ratner than had been previously disclosed. No one in the Mayors office has answered the question of where the additional $100 million will go, she added. James said the mayors office should make this information available to the city council as soon as possible. In addition, the developers profits should be disclosed immediately so we can assess the costs and benefits of this $4 billion boondoggle, James said. Develop Dont Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB) spokesperson Daniel Goldstein called the $205 million only part of the citys subsidy package to developer Bruce Ratner, which also includes several [as-of-right] tax abatements and credits, and housing subsidies. This doubling of the citys taxpayer cash subsidy to $205 million for Ratners project is just the first blast of helium into a very large balloon of public money, said Goldstein. There will be many more installments made to Ratner under a blank public check euphemistically called extraordinary infrastructure costs. Who will put a stop to this? he added.
