That small interloper into the coffee capsule sector, CaféPod, has signed a deal potentially worth £1.5m with Tesco — stirring up a market once monopolised by Nestlé.
Since the introduction of the Nespresso machine in 1986, the multinational food and beverage maker Nestlé held patents preventing competitors from producing coffee capsules compatible with their devices. When those patents expired in 2011, South African-born Peter Grainger and Brent Hadfield entered the market and CaféPod is now growing rapidly in the lucrative coffee capsule market.
After only three years, the company based in Putney, south-west London, has secured a listing with 650 Tesco stores in a deal projected to be worth £1.5m in retail sales in the next 12 months.
Already available from Waitrose, Ocado and on Amazon, this new deal and forecast growth in the coffee capsule market, will take CaféPod's turnover for this year to £4m, up 400pc year-on-year.
Mr Grainger, said: "We are not interested in simply getting our product onto the shelf, we are interested in any activity which drives penetration with shoppers through targeted consumer sampling. As a dynamic and aggressive start-up we are focused on being proactive and exceptional at point of purchase."
The arrangement with Tesco was the result of a two-year process after the grocer approached CaféPod at the 2013 London Coffee Festival.
"Tesco recognised that we were the first coffee capsule brand to the UK multiples market. At the time we were the only brand listed at Waitrose, and so the leader in our field," said Grainger.
"In addition to the 600 Tesco superstores we are listed in, we identified an additional 100 Tesco Express stores in London and the surrounding areas, targeting affluent shoppers who own Nespresso machines with impactful display stands, which ensures continued exposure across all Tesco formats."
The pair, formerly of fund manager GLG Partners, judged that the consumer appetite for espressos, lattes and cappuccinos in the home could accommodate another player in the UK capsule market and are now looking overseas.
CaféPod has its eye on expansion into Europe and beyond, with current exports to the UAE, Hong Kong and Thailand as well as Scandinavia and Ireland.
Over the past year, the total value of the hot beverage market has risen 2.93pc to £1.93bn with total coffee sales up 2.38pc to £1billion. Sales of pod coffee rose by a staggering 51.9pc.
The team, which includes marketer Kate Peers who helped launch Starbucks in the UK, is planning the release of two new premium Origin Inspired coffees — the Colombia Huila and the Sumatra Lake Tawar single origin varieties.
Despite its rival status for the market, as Nestlé's Nespresso machine sales rise, so too do those of CaféPod. During a pop-up breakfast event in Manhattan this February, the giant beverage conglomerate unveiled its latest extension, the VertuoLine system — new machines which are expanding Nestlé's capabilities into the large-cup coffee market.

Better Finance For Commercial Purchase Deals: Kurt Chilcott, CDC Small Business Finance
Locking down financing on purchase deals for property remains tough, even as steady recovery in commercial real estate continues. Commercial mortgage brokers and bankers are common sources of capital, but are they always the best ones? Are there other ways to finance the deal?
Kurt Chilcott, CEO of CDC Small Business Finance, suggests the options that a certified development company can present to clients at the financing stage can make a giant difference. Things a banker typically shies away from, such as a fixed interest rate, once introduced can open the door to an entirely different deal on a fast track.
As Kurt puts it:
"Commercial mortgage brokers and bankers typically can assess the financial prospects of any clients interested in buying a commercial building, but certified development companies (CDCs) with expertise in Small Business Administration (SBA) financing also can bring experience and a helpful perspective to the table.
Many times, bankers are quick to recommend conventional financing, or in some cases, an SBA 7(a) loan. It's understandable, as they may make more in fee income from the small-business owner with these products compared to an SBA Real Estate Advantage (504) Loan (REAL), which is designed for commercial real estate purchases and long-term machinery and equipment. Conventional and SBA 7(a) loans are not always the best products for the small-business client, however. Commercial mortgage brokers looking to finance a purchase deal may want to look more closely at REAL loans.
In brief, a REAL loan package can provide:
- Total financing for as much as $10 million
- 90 percent financing
- Fixed interest rates* (which have been less than 6 percent for nearly two years)
- Amortization terms of as many as 20 years
- No balloon payments
Many small-business clients eventually must determine whether buying or leasing their facility is the best business strategy. A REAL loan can make purchasing attractive because the downpayment required by the owner is typically only 10 percent — far less than with standard commercial loans. Many REAL loans are for office, retail or industrial buildings, but these loans can finance virtually any type of business. In addition, there are long-term tax and equity benefits.
REAL loans do have a specific structure, however. CDCs participate with lenders to structure the project accordingly:
- The client provides 10 percent down.
- The CDC (the SBA-guaranteed portion) provides 40 percent of the total project costs
- The bank or other lender provides 50 percent* of the total project costs.
With their expertise in REAL financing, CDCs can assist brokers in many ways, including pre-qualifying clients, educating clients about REAL financing and helping to structure the projects to secure quick SBA approval. In addition, CDCs can query banks that may want to partner on the REAL financing package, or they can work with a client's lender of choice. Reputable CDCs maintain relationships with a variety of banks and know their credit parameters. CDCs also can help monitor the
financing process and ensure the deal closes in a timely manner.
Commercial mortgage brokers who know about the options that the REAL loan can provide can help their clients get deals done. Get ready, get REAL!"

The Best Robber Mask Ever (4 pics)
30-year-old Conrad Zdzierak robbed five banks and a drug store in three hours.
Witnesses said that he was black, in the images from the surveillance cameras was also a black guy.
So police was looking for an African American robber.
Imagine their surprise when they caught a robber and it was a white guy in a black-guy-robber-mask.

Deion Branch
October 7, 2010 by staff
Deion Branch, Randy Moss has been with the Patriots in New England after his bizarre press conference following the first game of the season against the Bengals.
Or maybe he was when he attended his owner Robert Kraft Nuba shortly before the start of the season and never took his phone and head out never told anyone. The skunk to the party lawn.
Or maybe it was simply the fact that the Patriots will not re-sign him for next year, and said that if we went to say goodbye anyway, they might as well do it now, strange, as it may seem.
Maybe it was that the Patriots think it is no longer the player he was even a year ago, that time and all the connections he made along the years have simply taken their toll, even given the one hand lights and motion capture is done against the Jets in the second game of the season.
Maybe it was, as Mike Reiss reported on Wednesday that ESPNBoston.com Moss made a tirade against the assistant coach Bill O'Brien Monday night half time in Miami, allegedly because he n had not been thrown to enough.
Or maybe it was all the foregoing.
Your guess is as good as anyone.
And you know that the Patriots will not tell you.
On the one hand, we have learned about the Patriots in Bill Belichick era, the Pentagon distributes one in which information as a state secret; those who speak do so at their peril. Ty Law. Lawyer Milloy. Richard Seymour. Deion Branch. You get the point.
The Patriots are the team Belichick, and he directs a court without appeal. He is not interested in public forums. Express yourself, say something that hinted at unhappiness with your contract, and history tells us that you will all but become an endangered species.
So with Moss, as high profile as it is, without doubt both a receiver profound than any that has already played in the NFL.
Now he is out of the Vikings, and for only a few draft picks, not less.
The defining moment in all of this probably came after the Patriots opened the season with a home win over the Bengals, and there was Moss holding an impromptu press conference, the same Moss who is generally not say a word during the season.
It was no secret then that it was not the best time for Moss, setting to 34, the age of the NFL, where few people speak of the future. He was in the final year of his contract with the Patriots, the word was that he would not get another, and there was no question she had consumed, as if he had seen the future and it was scary.
He rambled on for 16 minutes that day, a steam of consciousness rant, as if the psychiatrist's couch. He said that his back ached, said all evil. Several times he referred to himself old, because he knows that in football terms, it is that football is no country for old men, although in the real world 33 is very young. It was a strange explosion that day, full of fear and doubt and frustration, if different from the usual postgame pablum we receive a testimony of shots.
But it did not help with the Patriots, the franchise where secrets are kept close to the vest and no one is supposed to say a discouraging world. This franchise Pravda could give some tips for staying on message.
I also suspect that Moss has always been a personality problem with the Pats, even if the party line is that it was not. That certainly has been his representative both with the Vikings and Raiders, the baggage he brought with him to New England. Nobody ever questioned his talent at the time, they questioned his attitude. So he came here as a bit of a mystery man, question marks hovering over him.
Both Belichick and Tom Brady has always seemed out of their way to make the stroke, how to tell a teammate he was, and I always suspected it was because they knew that Moss was still perched on an emotional fault line. Last year, he was one of four co-captains. Not this year, however, a small symbol we all missed. This year, Moss came into the season doubting he would be next year, a forecast that is now a reality.
With a caveat: it will not be here anymore this year, either.

It's not only fun to do trashure work myself (one man's trash is another one's treasure), but the best part is having a bunch of friends who love to do the same! Welcome to Trash to Treasure Tuesday where the second Tuesday of each month my blogger friends and I get together to bring you some junkin' goodness. My project today is to show you how I took some repurposed materials and made them into a DIY winter urn. You'll see my friend's projects in a bit.
What I was after was creating something that would last past Christmas and keep my home decorated for winter. I'm all for less work and more fun, so in order to do that I had to go faux. My mind was set on making use of all of the cast-off Christmas trees available this time of year. When I headed to the thrift store, I was so stoked to find

Discussion in 'Engine Compartment' started by ProBiker, Feb 23, 2011.
I agree and stand corrected on this part.
It is not quite as simple as it looks.
Regarding the cat pollution. A cat has a so called working range, which is between 750 and 1150 degrees. Outside the window it is also working but adversely, which is the reason why manufacturers bring the cat close to the ports, where the gases are much hotter. Still it does take several minutes to reach the operating temperature, which means that for every minute of driving out of the window the polluting of the cat is up to 12 minutes driving without a cat altogether due to the reversed catalysis!
In very hot areas and/o with rather spirited driving the window can be left too, when the gases reach over 1150 degrees in the cat.
Going back to the H2SO3 and the cyanide:
The H2SO3 is lung damaging and in general quite aggressive, even not as strong as sulphuric acid (H2SO4). The cyanide created annually in cars fitted in India currently is good enough to kill over 10 lakh adults instantly.
Some experts are of the opinion that the cat also is a major contributor to the cot death.
The situation in Bangalore is not as bad as you might think. Mexico city a few years ago had more pollution on vehicles than the whole of India from cars and is located in a depression that does not allow the gas to travel. Mexico city is still the third largest city (measured by metro population) in the world.
Regarding the FFE:
An FFE does not have an effect on pollution. Ignition, fueling, cam timing (including lobe separation), combustion chamber design, injector design, compression ratio and some other minor factors determine this.
Guys, we'll debate this to death.
Lets chill.
Of 100 people buying a car , 95 don't know what a cat con really is and what it does ( even i can be included in it) and would not even mess with it.
3 people, when the cat con needs repair would rather break the cat con to pieces from the inside than replace it with a brand new one. ( I did that on our Palio D, it was choking performance)
The remaining two are the ones who'll deliberately remove it to gain some performance and not give two hoots about pollution.
So let's not debate if the future of India's or the World's environment rests on these 5 buyers out of 100. 95 will run the cars as the manufacturer wants them to. With cats and DPF's and charcoal filters and what not.
I, for one will have no qualms in running my car minus a cat-con. That is if someone comes up with a specially designed dump-pipe to suit the 1.3 . There is one for the 1.9, but nothing for the 1.3.
This is not possible in Bangalore at least now,they take picture of the car and it's printed on the PU certificate.
Newer machines are tamper proof, this was told to me by person doing this business in petrol pump.
you see, they test some other vehicle on the meter and take a pic of your car. or even better they enter the pollution values themselves.
Diesel Express or RaceChip
I have 76 HP FGT version, for fun sake i would like to try a tuning kit for some time, since they are plug and play type i might be using it only when in feel like having more power for my car and not on a regular basis. I came across two boxes used by TFI's so far one from Anand for his 76 hp fgt punto and another by jishnu on his linea.
The cost of them respectively is
Diesel Express
89 Euros + 6 Euros for Postage and Parcel
Race chip:
129 Euros + 46 Euros for Postage and Parcel
Additionally we might have to bear customs for these two.
Just wanted your opinion which one is better among these two
@chethansgangoor- It is 129+45+Import duty= 14000INR Approx.
hi all,
even i was looking for Race chip for my punto 76PS version. but looks like Race chip is not available for Punto Multijet 76PS version Or else i have take it wrong .. Please let me know on this. and if you can post the link which is for Punto Multijet 1.3 76PS india version here will be good. i failed to find one in website of racechip.
Jishnu you are right, but wanted to know between diesel express and racechip, diesel express would cost even less than race chip.
@Drive Drift-http://www.racechip.de/racechip-chiptuning/Fiat-Grande-Punto-1-3-JTD-16V-Multijet-655-r.html
@Chetan- I will suggest you to go for the race-chip, because I've now covered more than 4000Kms with it and there is absolutely no problem and is a value for money product. I have no idea about the diesel express..
Separate names with a comma.

Some weeks trickle along. Little moments propel us forward: packing lunch-boxes, weeding the garden, listening to podcasts, mowing the orchard, going to gym, driving the girls around...until all those little meetings and moments and musings gather together to form the week that was.
And then other weeks feel like a gush. If you're not careful they'll knock your legs out from under you and carry you down the flooded stream, feet first.
This past week feels like the latter. Each day felt full of change and development and motion and emotion. Some days I found myself grinning like a clown and on others hiding in an overgrown patch of the garden pulling up fistfuls of weeds trying to remember to breathe.
On Wednesday our Indigo turned 17. SEVENTEEN!!! That little baby who turned us into parents all those years ago. What a gift it is to be her mother. To watch her, to listen to her, to guide her and to be guided by her. We celebrated her with chocolate bullets, with cards and presents, with mangos and chocolate covered strawberries. What a gift you are to us Indigo Apple, our wishes for you are filled with music and passion, with love and learning and indoor plants. It's so exciting to watch the world open up to you and your sparkly eyes. xxxx
This week I was offered a great new writing job. Funny how these things happen. Ever since Slow Living magazine closed earlier this year, I've been wanting to write something more than just my blog. Not being quite ready to close myself off to the world and start work on a book, I thought that some articles and stories would be perfect. And then one day last week I got a message, had a meeting, and now I have a new job. Yay! I'll fill you in on the details when it's all official.
And then, not long after the first job was offered, I got a phone call about a one off speaking/teaching job. Again I'll fill you in on the details when I'm allowed to, but let's just say I'm very excited about this one.
I wrote a blog a few months ago about being okay with my simple life and not wanting to always be looking for and hunting something bigger and newer and more exciting. A few days ago I was driving home from school and had to pull over several times to talk to different people about the details of my new jobs when it occurred to me that I hadn't hunted it but here I was moving forward and although it is scary and new, I think I'm ready for this new stage. I think my self confidence needed it. I'm excited.
Also this week we had to pull out the first of our garlic, even though the cloves haven't separated yet. On Wednesday an earth mover came to do some work at the front of our house and the garden beds they were in were in the way. It's been wonderful to have the garlic flavour back in our meals this week. And it'll be amazing to landscape what's now a mud pit, with grass and garden and a deck.
And I'm ever so grateful to Frobden, (Francis, Jobbo, Bren), for making my dreams come true and not whinging too much about your sore hands and backs. xxxx
For those who have asked about sock knitting recently, please forgive my lack of personal response.
I swear by Wendy D Johnson's book - Socks From The Toe Up. I use her basic sock pattern for every single pair of socks I knit. I use everything in it from the cast on, to the slip stitch heel, to the cast off. I love it and highly recommend it to everyone from beginner to advanced.
Ravelry details here.
And lastly is the cat. She's not particularly great at snuggling on the couch but whenever I'm in the garden she's always with me. Creeping up and then jumping out on me making me scream, rubbing against my legs or back, making me laugh with her antics and then plopping herself down for a bath and a nap exactly where I need to be working. Love that funny kitten.
Love that first red strawberry of the season picked and eaten this morning before school, love the way the big seeds pop out of the soil with their seed hats on, love finishing great books (Bella and Chaim) that stay in my thoughts for days afterwards, love picking armfuls of flowers from the garden, love flexing my biceps and seeing actual muscles for the first time in my life, love binge listening a great podcast series, love thinking about the approaching summer school holidays, love getting a text message from a friend asking me for a beer, love hearing the sound of the tractor coming up the hill and knowing that my farmer boy is coming in for lunch, love you guys and the beautiful and insightful messages you send me, love that Australia voted YES for same sex marriage and that love is love is love is love.
Hope the view outside your window is a pretty one this afternoon.
Did you have a good week? Did anything exciting happen?
Are you reading a good book? Planning a feast? Stopping to smell the roses?
I hope something unexpected and quite wonderful is right around the corner.
Lots of love,

13.19.0 question
I just had my first oil change and they told me they updated my radio software. What's new on this because everything looks and works the same ?
Nothing 'new' just bug fixes:
RA3 And RA4 Radio Enhancements
This bulletin involves upgrading the software on the RA3 or RA4 Radio.
2013 (DS) 1500 Ram Pickup
2014 (WK) Grand Cherokee
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before June 15, 2013 (MDH
0615XX) equipped with SMART TOUCH 3 AM/FM/SAT/BT/VOICE (sales code
RA3) or SMART TOUCH 4 AM/FM/SAT/BT/NAV/VOICE (sales code RA4).
A customer may experience, one or more of the following conditions.
· Radio reset, screen lockup, blank screen or sluggish system response time.
· Loss of vehicle position on NAV map.
· Compass indicator turns off.
· Erratic changes to vehicle icon on NAV map.
· Touch screen shut down message.
· Radio surround sound will not stay ON.
· Driver memory feature causes Sirius XM failure.
· Loss of radio presets.
· Battery drain - due to radio remains on.
· Uconnect apps don't load.
· AM/FM popping noises and/or static.
· Backup camera display is blank.
I thought I saw somewhere that HD Radio as a default was also included in the update? I hate it when HD is off every time I start the truck !
None of the above was fixed after the update..In fact I have at least had 1 or all ove the bove happen more than once..
Thats right from Chrysler Service Bulletin 08-049-13.
I just got the update and I notice a couple of things:
-MAX A/C button
-The sync button for the climate control is now blue and red
-Better fuel economy
-A/C works better
Overall everything seems to work better. I really like the max A/C button, I found it stranged that it wasn't there before. My last updates we're in March so I was a little late lol.
Just a tip, some people may encounter their voice recognition not working after the update. I had this happen and read that the fix was to reload the update a 2nd time. This does work, after the reload all is well.
I could never get the voice recognition to work right... It seems whatever I say, however I say it, the computer can't seem to figure out what I want. But on the other hand, the siri on my iphone understands me crystal clear even if I was drunk in a wind storm.
We should be only a few days away from the next update, 13.31.6.
If the rumors are true, this should fix the majority of the known issues to date. I've been waiting on the FM radio reception/popping noise to be fixed, and it seems like people with the new software from either new or swapped radios are reporting it to be working correctly.

Silicon straight tube fluid density sensor
In this paper, a micromachined silicon straight tube is tested as a fluid density sensor. In comparison with other density measurement techniques, the use of micromachined tubes require small sample volumes and allows continuous monitoring of the fluid density in microfluidic systems. Different vibration modes of the sensor were detected and calibrated using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). Linearity, simplicity, the straightforward fabrication and evaluation, the low flow restriction and reduced risk of trapping gas in the sensor due the absence of corners are the design's main advantages. The ability of the sensor to measure density of multiphase fluids and provide accurate results independent of other fluid parameters, allows it to be used in varying fields such as the biomedical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.

Small things I love about Moana
- There is no talk of finding Moana a husband. SHE is going to be chief of her village. No one can take that from her.
How Moana is a competent leader before she even sets out on her journey.
- The village seems to have more or less a hereditary monarchy that disregards gender and the matriarchal influence is clear: Moana is mostly inspired by her grandmother and the major deity in this movie is a Mother Goddess.
- "Crazy" does not mean worthy of ridicule.
- The central questions: "Do you know who you are? How do you know who you are?" Those cut deep.
- The sibling relationship between Moana and Maui.
- The vision about the ancient wayfinders. And "Know the Way," which makes the entire sequence a million times more emotional.
- This might be a Disney Princess movie, but it is also solidly an action movie.
- Moana doesn't like being called "princess".
- The goddamn gold-plated glow-in-the-dark giant crab. Who sings well.
- Forehead touches. Between a human girl and a goddess.
- The fact that Heihei manages to do ONE USEFUL THING in the entire movie.
- Moana is so sturdily built. She managed to clock Maui, of all people.
- Nature has agency.
- How Gramma Tala's passing is quietly understated. Her last words to Moana are those of sincere encouragement and her death is not explicitly shown. But you see the huge luminous manta ray a couple minutes later and you just know.
- The entire sequence at the beginning that depicts island life. And Chris Jackson's singing. Everyone's singing, really.
- Moana gulping deep lungfuls of air the first time her canoe overturned is so realistic, I could feel myself choking on ocean water.
- The coconut pirates. They are VICIOUS little fuckers.
- Moana earning a place among Maui's tattoos.
- Gramma Tala's spirit is solid enough to hug. No more "LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF SIMBA" from the clouds.
- Disney smashing the fourth wall and throwing shade at their own Princess story formula.
- Romance is never ever ever even hinted at. Because Moana is all of 16 years old and she has bigger things on her mind.
- All the songs. ALL OF THEM. They hit just the right emotional cues.
- How culturally rich Disney managed to make this movie.
- The sheer vividness of the animation. The wealth of expression on the faces of these characters. The colors.

Where does I begin?
Right hand position (or the left if you're lefty): Probably the 1st & most important factor in delivering the tone. . Near the bridge and behind the pickup gives the most drive and probably the "most" tone. I say "most" because thats what appears to happen, at least. Of course when you play there you've got to be careful not to hit the pickup with the string. It happens a lot more than you'd think and sounds poopy (no you can't use it as homemade distortion). If you're good with your finger timing you can do homemade chorus or delay. I say homemade but I mean at the string source without any effects. Just like that old EVH adage that "its all in the hands." But I digress. . Nearer to and over the fingerboard can give more of an upright (washtub) bass tone especially on a fretless electric. It gives a much mellower tone and (if done right) allows the string to "swell". That is a delayed volume swell which comes up just after the initial tone is produced. It happens because plucking over the fingerboard is about the middle of the string length. Plucking there makes the energy take a little longer to get the string to fully vibrate all the way to the bridge. When the string vibrates the bridge harder the tone is delivered more directly to the bridge, body and pickup. . The next thing to play with is the tone knobs on the bass (yes, every knob likes getting played with). Especially if you're recording it direct. If you have a great-sounding bass you'll probably just need to dial out the highs so that you have just enough clickiness. You can always dial out the highs later in the mix but not too much. The highs of a bass tone can help to project it through the mix when everything else is in place. If its an active bass with like a 3-band boost/cut array you may need to dial up or dial down the mids depending on what the bass sounds like and what you're going for. I've always liked old, heavy p basses with nasty mids for punk or metal. Especially with a pick. . Preamp direct: I'd typically leave the controls on the bass wide open. Or centered in the case of using a bass with active boost/cut. Depending on the preamp (and again, what you're going for) you might want to do a little tweaking with an active boost/cut axe. . On the amp you're going to have to set a pretty broad tone curve. Now thats not exactly definable when I say broad. (and no, thats not a sexist slur..."whats wrong with being sexy?") Setting a broad curve means that you're setting for what you're going for and setting for getting the most out of what the bass is already delivering. You will most definitely need a setting which minimizes any inherent obnoxiousness in the bass itself if any.
There are so many secrets regarding this topic. So many mysteries and elusions but more importantly, there are so many variables. . Most producers and engineers will tell you about posture and mic distance, maybe pitch but thats about it. I've been in a lot of studios in my life and I've never once had a knob twister tell me about things like: one line per breath or how far to fill the lungs or focusing on which body parts are creating the tone. In fact, most producers don't know the first thing about getting a vocalist to experiment with different techniques and use them on the fly. . There are elements of constriction, stance, lubrication, pharynx clarity, tone source, starting pitch, time of day, diet ... it goes on and on and I think I can safely say that about 90% of the studio operators out there don't know how to think and (more importantly) feel like a vocalist. Most blokes know about smacking the snare in the center or trying a different hand position for playing fingered bass but vocals can be so damn elusive. . In my earlier days I had to (as a vocalist) learn how to engineer myself so that singing with headphones felt as natural as singing in a room while strumming an acoustic. I had to take into account: input level & compression curve, mic selection, mic distances, etc. (gloyvin!) There are basically 3 singing categories in my school of thought: room, PA and headphone. I have a handle on all of 'em. . There are a few different postures to consider as well. The standard, upright, smiling posture doesn't always apply to all vocal styles. As a power vocalist I find I can get a little more "umph" from my diaphragm in certain pitch ranges if I use more of a "fighting" stance and sing down on the mic. How many photos have you seen where a strong vocalist is hunkered down almost curled up in a ball while delivering some long, powerful, sustained note? I'll use an upright stance if its something like singing falsetto backup tracks and going for the vibe of 3 backup girls singing "wooo". Sometimes I'll sit. Different styles require different approaches. . Feel free to comment.

First you need to make him down to 49% and becuase belly drum is just a waste of a status move you need substitute. Use substitute then hit him with any move and there it is. strategy daruma-form asked Oct 18, 2010 by Speed freak edited Oct 18, 2010 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 0 votes Best answer Yeah that's not a bad idea. If Stealth Rock is in effect you can switch in on it then sub to get health to 50% straight away. I would replace HP with Grass Knot, it's pretty difficult to get HP exactly how you want it. Remember, you've got to breed for the right nature and ability as well...getting everything together would be a nightmare. Also, Belly Drum is a pretty good move... I'm trying to find out if Belly Drum will end up maxing its Special Attack because that would be awesome. Like if you use BD, get max Attack, the Daruma Mode switches that to Special Attack? But I don't think Atk/SpAtk are directly switched, only the base stats change so that probably won't work. answered Oct 18, 2010 by Pokemaster edited Oct 18, 2010 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment.

Commencement Honors
- Pertain only to the Baccalaureate degrees (BA; BFA; BS), or to the baccalaureate portion of dual degree programs (BS/MS)
- Are based on the GPA (grade point average) at the time of completion-in-full of all degree requirements
Honors published in the Commencement program and announced at the Commencement ceremony are preliminary and based upon the cumulative GPA(s) earned up to and including the Intersemester term just prior to the Commencement ceremony. Therefore, that which is published and announced may be different from that which is actually earned and reflected on the student's diploma and academic record.
The Baccalaureate degree with distinction is awarded to:
- Students who have completed a minimum of 60 credits of actual Daemen course work,* and whose cumulative Daemen GPA (grade point average) at the time of completion in-full of all degree requirements is:
- 3.30 - 3.49: Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- 3.50 - 3.69: Magna Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- 3.70 - 4.00: Summa Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- Students with fewer than 60 hours of course work completed at Daemen will be eligible for Commencement Honors provided that they meet ALL of the criteria referenced above AND both of the following:
- The GPA for Daemen course work must be appropriate to the honor
- The GPA for all college work (all accepted transfer courses and Daemen courses) must be appropriate to the honor.
No honor will be bestowed that is not supported by both the Daemen GPA and the "all college work" GPA. Example: If a student has a GPA of 3.30 in Daemen course work but a 3.20 GPA in "all college work" (all accepted transfer courses and Daemen courses), no honor would be accorded.
* Credits not included as actual Daemen course work include: Nursing validation exam credit; Credit for Learning from Life Experience (CLLE); challenge exams; cross registrations.

I noticed while hiking that the only people that will say hi to me are old people and little kids. Especially little kids under 5. Why is that?
Why are the people between little kids and old people so much more paranoid, cold and business-like than those at either extreme?
Even when you're young, it's hard to get along with young people for some reason.
Also, why do many older people like to talk a lot and get long-winded? Have you noticed that sometimes when you just ask them one question, they yak on and on? Why do they do that? Is it because they are lonely and ignored, or because they have a lot of knowledge and wisdom to share, or both?

Going in for an important interview is as nerve-wracking as it gets. Even the most prepared individuals aren't exempt from feeling anxious.
A lot of the time we're too focused on nailing down certain questions, that we neglect other parts of the interview process. These are the common mistakes you have to look out for in any important interview.
Going in Unprepared Is Always a Bad Move
Do your research ahead of time. Last thing you want to do is walk into an interview and appear like you have no idea what you're doing. Doesn't exactly scream "hire me" does it?
Look up info about the company and demonstrate that you clearly understand the expectations of the position you're applying for.
Also take some time to practice a mock interview. Consider some questions that may be asked of you in the interview and brainstorm responses. Test it out on friends and family to get some feedback on your answers and to practice speaking in front of a group.
Being Timid or Shy Is Not Going to Win You Favors
This one is a little bit harder to control but it's important nonetheless. If you show up to an interview and appear timid or shy, it won't make a great impression on the other people that are conducting the interview.
This is especially important when job positions explicitly state that they're looking for candidates that are outgoing, confident, etc. Not matching this kind of attitude immediately puts you at a disadvantage and makes you appear unfit for the job.
Even though it's hard, you really need to make an effort to hide all your nervous energy and channel it into focusing on the task at hand.
Showing Up Late….Are You Kidding Me?
Showing up late to an important interview is a big no-no. Being tardy to an interview makes you look irresponsible and makes you appear like you're not taking the interview seriously.
It's also disrespectful to the people who are agreeing to the interview because it takes time away from their busy schedules and makes you appear ungrateful for the opportunity.
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to reach the location where the interview will be held. If you have time, be sure to set up a trial run and commute to the spot to see how long it will take you, if there are alternative routes, etc. And if you show up early so what. Wait in a local coffee shop and go over some more interview questions while you wait. This is give you some time to relax and be better prepared.
Wearing the Wrong Attire Can Leave a Bad Impression
You're not just going to be judged on what you say or do in an important interview. Your appearance and body language also plays a major role in your chances of landing the job.
No matter what job you are applying for, you want to make sure that you are wearing appropriate business attire. This makes you look competent and may even give you the boost of confidence you were looking for.
Avoid wearing clothes that are too casual, that don't fit properly, or that are strained or damaged. Also in terms of body language try not to fidget or slouch. Be confident, relaxed, and sit up straight in your chair. This will make you look much more capable.
Not Doing a Follow-Up Interview or Thank You
So the interview is over and you think you're home free right? Wrong. There's still a lot of work to be done after the interview is over. The post interview process is just as important as your behavior in the interview.
After the interview, it's common for candidates to send a thank you note and demonstrate that you were grateful for the opportunity, etc.
This shows a great level of professionalism and will keep you in the minds of the people that interviewed you.
Final Thoughts
It is important to always be prepared, be bold, answer questions in a way that meets interviewee expectations, and portray suitable behavior. Making the necessary followup after an important interview also pays off and increases your chances of getting the job.
Arriving to the interview on time and in the proper dress code also show a certain level of commitment. Be sure to keep all of these things in mind for your next important interview and you'll be sure to land a job in no time. Best of luck!

Guaranteed, even if chewed
If there's ever a problem, we'll replace it FREE
Super-strong nylon webbing with vibrant colors
These super strong nylon dog leads are guaranteed to last a lifetime. Attractive and colorful designs keep their vibrancy over time, and each is made with the same 2500-lb. test nylon used in mountain-climbing harnesses. Even the stitching is able to withstand a 600-lb. tension test.
Leads are 6 feet long with welded steel, easy snap hardware and a padded comfort handle. Make sure to look for the collars and harnesses available in matching patterns. Please specify color style.
More Info
Hand wash your lead when soiled, or spot clean with a pet-formulated stain/spot remover such as CleanAway. Simply spritz CleanAway on the lead, and allow its enzymes and "good" bacteria to digest the stain and odor until it is gone permanently.
Dog Collar Selection Guide: There are many styles of dog collars to choose from depending on your dog's size, disposition, and your training need.
Introducing your dog to a lead early teaches obedience and will enable both of you to enjoy many outdoor activites together and be out and among people.
Field training aids include collars with up-to-date identification, leads, and check cords. Brightly colored collars help you locate and distinguish between more than one hunting dog while in the field.
Not only are collars indispensable for maintaining control when walking and exercising dog, but they also are very useful for establishing identification and ownership should your pet become lost.

Automatic Modulation Classification
I have been attempting to use the Spectral Correlation Function in order to recognise the modulation scheme used by various signals, however I have run into a number of difficulties with such an approach, which are outlined below.
I found the following awesome paper on an approach using neural networks – Convolutional Radio Modulation Recognition Networks – Timothy J. O'Shea , Johnathan Corgan , and T. Charles Clancy, which I implemented a version of through the use of TFlearn (a TensorFlow wrapper). Through this paper I also learned of the RadioML dataset which is an invaluable resource for training and testing the classifier.
Difficulties with SCF approach
I found the paper Improved PSK Classification Using Spectral Correlation Function – Jeevan Kuriakose, A.Rajesh and P.K.Bora, which shows how the SCF method I have been attempting to use, is unable to distinguish between different PSK schemes, without pre-processing the data, which resulted in my low accuracy.
You can see the similarity between the SCF of different PSK schemes generated by the FAM algorithm, through the excellent gr-specest GNU Radio block. gr-specest is a great library which is capable of obtaining the spectral correlation density of a signal via the Frequency Accumulation Method.
A CNN approach
Instead of the approach I had been attempting to use, where there is significant processing before passing the data to the ANN, their approach takes the complex data of a signal and applies it directly to the neural network. I find this approach especially fascinating as the network is able to learn from the raw data itself. I created a simple implementation using their model specification in TensorFlow via the TFlearn API. You can download that at train_cnn.py, which utilises the RadioML dataset for training and testing.
It is currently obtaining 92.79% accuracy at 18dB, which is significantly better than the SCF method I was attempting to use.
It is capable of recognising the following modulation schemes:
TensorFlow & GNU Radio
GNU Radio provides the ability to write blocks through the use of Python, which makes it especially easy to make use of the TensorFlow API within them.
I created a block in Python, which is capable of allowing a user to load a TensorFlow model. I tested the block with a simple XOR ANN, which is essentially an Artificial Neural Network model, which is capable of producing an output which represents the bitwise xor of two inputs, which can be seen in the flow diagram below. The block is then capable of producing PMT output for the output neurons of the xor model.
I am planning on now converting the TFlearn implementation of the CNN, to a raw Tensor Flow implementation, which will then enable me to save the Tensor Flow graph so it can then be loaded through the TFModel block.
You can obtain the TFModel block from the dev_amc tree of https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-inspector

The MoE award for Best Education or Support Program for Control Tower, the company's newly launched IR database, was presented to Global Cache at the Mark of Excellence Awards reception at the 2015 International CES®.
Global Cache's products connect almost any electrical device to a WiFi and/or IP network so it can be controlled, automated, and maintained by network-based software. The company offers other connectivity products and capabilities, including IR learning, IR receivers, and sensors, that can be connected to a network. Global Cache devices are designed to work with other standards based products.
Control Tower, an industry-first online IR database, solves an ongoing problem in the custom install market as various products and services converge to provide complete solutions for control and automation in homes and businesses. A challenge for the installer is the integration of diverse products, along with their particular proprietary protocols, including IR code sets for their devices. Control Tower solves an important issue for installer/integrators that find themselves without critically needed IR codes and helps avoid expensive truck rolls and customer dissatisfaction when equipment is changed. Users, partners, and installers can easily download IR codes for new equipment and updates without the integrator being onsite.
Rusty Keller, Global Cache's Director of Marketing said, "Global Cache continues to play a leadership role with our products and services offered for the automation and control markets. We're proud of Control Tower, the first IR database in the cloud, and the product's ability to easily and simply provide a solution for our partners, dealers, installers, and users that have struggled with obtaining reliable IR codes for decades. We're grateful to have been recognized with the prestigious Mark of Excellence award from CEA."
Visit Global Cache in booth 12-B86 (and Comm-Tec's booth 2-A42) at Integrated Systems Europe, February 10-12.

text: I have been searching for a G29 for a few weeks now in all the local gun stores in and around my area with no luck. I figured (yea I know) with only a 10 round magazine it would not be in such a demand as the standard capacity full size pistols. The word I am getting from all my dealers is they have none at the distributors. I am also getting that the sub compact 10mm is not a very popular pistol so it may be a bit tougher than other Glocks Any thoughts please?

Thomas from Ruther Glen, Va writes,
What is the Application Rate for the ULD BP-100 Fogging Concentrate?
I have 5 acres to treat for gnats using my Golden Eagle Thermal fogger.
You can use BP-100 full strength (what we recommend) or at the 1:1 BP-100/mineral oil and you should apply 4 oz of the solution per acre to control gnats.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Playback Devices' started by Pete T C, Nov 29, 2006.
I think it is a little early to call a winner. I have been one whose has never thought the games systems would be the impact to this war some many thought would. It is certainly true that Saony has, and will continue to miss their mark by a laughable margin, and that the XBox is selling at a very swift pace (wish I had some numbers of the HD-DVD Add-On drive)
It's way too early for anyone to call this race. I think both formats are going to be around for some time. It will be more interesting to see how things shape up when the stand-alone players duke it out in the new year.
Sony's root kits, and the fiasco that ensued, had nothing to do with bad luck, just bad judgment. And it's this continued bad judgment that continues to dig Sony's hole deeper.
Oh please... this "article" is nothing but pure specualtion without an ounce of fact.
It's a shame that nearly all information found on Tom's site can be summerized like that. I remember when it was a site you could trust. Those days are long gone. On that note, I agree the race is still on. I think HD-DVD does have a leg up at this point, but it's still a close race. I have the Toshiba HD-DVD player and my PS3 should be here early next week. Either way, I'm covered no matter what happens
It's not even Tom's Hardware. It's a link to an opinion from an industry analyst. Who incidentally is predicting the iPod's failure against the Zune. Or leaving out the fact that the entire industry (save Tosh & MS) support Blu-ray disc. More FUD from the HD DVD fanatics. Fact: BD continues to gain ground. PS3 is selling BD movies, stores I go to have noticable holes in their once full BD stocks. Fact: HD DVD is DOA overseas, especially in Asia.
As are all predictions. That neither makes it valid or invalid, just an opinion. By the way, 'without out an ounce of fact'? Actually, there were many accurate facts intermingled with conjecture in the article. How you decide to interpet the facts is the only thing in question. It is an understatement to call Sony's PS3 release anything less than a disaster for the BD camp, but it is a over-reach to call the war any where near over.
Would you call these comments more FUD from BD fanatics. Where are the facts of these statements? Link the BD sell through numbers you are referencing? Or the reference to HD being dead in Asia. Talk about spreading FUD.
Definitely some pot, kettle, black action going on. I don't want to come across as personally attacking anyone on the board, but objectivity is quickly going the way of the dodo for fans of both camps. The article is interesting, but to say there will be a winner decided by year's end is insane. HD has had some victories I did not think it would with some strategies I did no think would work that did. Blu made some horrible missteps early on, but I think it's starting to gain back ground with help from Fox, and to a lesser extent the PS3. I'm always a fan of the underdog, so I've made it no secret I'm rooting for HD-DVD, but at the same time I'm hoping to get my hands on a Blu-Ray player as soon as I can, as once you've sampled one side, you can't help but want to jump to the other side as well. Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages at this point, and if you can afford it, I'd say it's well worth sampling both. Even if my HD-A1 becomes a player for a dead format, it still produces the best audio of any DVD/HD-DVD/CD player I've heard,and for that alone is worth the $300 for a refurb.
Peter I wouldnt say exactly dead, Im in Japan and I know several people who are enjoying HD DVD, simply due to one its cheaper, two they love the PQ. I am onboard with the format as well and love it.
Well, of course. But it's selling about as well as the XBOX 360 is there too. Blu-ray has a sizable lead, and several recorders are on/coming to market. The HD DVD success story is strictly a North American phenomenon right now. I think it speaks volumes of the American need for instant gratification and lack of long term view.
From a previous article from the same analyst: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/O...ell-iPod.xhtml
Or more likely, the American value of "Bang for your buck," where HD DVD delivers and Blu-Ray does not.
With the $499 PS3s out there that is most certainly not the case.
If the thinking is that a less expensive set top BR player isn't need, that's way off. I think the number of people buying the PS3 solely for BR playback is miniscule.
When the PS3 becomes readily available, maybe next March, you might have a point. At present, the PS3 has little to no availability, and little expectation to have availability until well into next year.
This thread topic is quite misleading. Tom's Hardware did not make this statement, some unaffilated analyst did. In addition it was 100% speculation (and not very insightful speculation at that). I honestly don't care which format ends up on top, and if individuals want to latch on to one or the other and create some kind of emotional bond to it I don't care. Until we have a clear winner we're all losers.
" and if individuals want to latch on to one or the other and create some kind of emotional bond to it I don't care. " Totally agree. I'm sick of the usual suspects being ever forgiving of errors or blunders of their format of choice while at the same time taking every opportunity to do down the opposition. It really isn't intelligent or educational and definitely no longer entertaining . ~M~

Is there an Indian version of matzo ball soup? Passover in Trichy
Trichy Travel Blog› entry 15 of 29 › view all entries
My colleague Sabita has two sisters who live in
My friend Jason, another volunteer in
On Saturday we went out to lunch, and Jason impressed me with his drinking water out of a bottle skills.
Later we went down to the main temple in Trichy, called the Rock Fort Temple, which is built atop a massive 2,000-year old rock (hence the name).
We left our shoes downstairs as required and weaved our way through the intense crowd. The sun was setting, but it was still sooo hot, and I had made the mistake of wearing jeans. But the climb was worth it. At the top, we went into the small temple, took puja, and got ashes on our foreheads.
We made our way back down and then wandered down the street, which was lined with shops. Jason got a shave and a haircut for something like 80 rupees ($2), and I think I'm highballing it at that. He opted to keep the 70s-style mustache that's oddly ubiquitous in
Later at the hotel restaurant for dinner, Jason asked for two bowls of hot water -- why, I had no idea. Turns out he brought instant matzo ball soup! It was like ramen noodles: Add hot water, replace the lid, wait two minutes, and voila! It didn't come close to my Mom's delicious soup and kneidelach, but it was actually pretty tasty. We ordered food that we hoped was suitable for Passover -- mutton, fish, eggs, rice, and potatoes. Later I serenaded Jason by singing the Four Questions (part of the Passover seder). I don't know what he thought of my singing (usually the response I get to it is "don't quit your day job" -- oops, already did that), but he was duly impressed with my having committed them to memory in Hebrew.

Ever since news broke that The Mindy Project was making the jump from Fox to Hulu, I've been clamouring for any kind of information about the upcoming fourth season. Who will be there? What's going to happen? How did Danny's meeting with Mindy's parents turn out? It's all just too much for one person to handle.
This morning, however, I came across an article from Entertainment Weekly that contained a small, probably insignificant spoiler about season 4 and I thought that I should share it with all of the other crazy Mindy fans that frequent this site.
"Word on the street is [the birth]will happen early in the season," the spoiler says. "I also hear that, location-wise, it's a rather unconventional birth."
An unconventional birth could very well be a barn, a McDonalds, or underneath Morgan's desk in phlebotomy – basically anything that isn't a hospital bed.
Mindy Kaling, the show's creator and star, has been sharing a few photos on Instagram recently that show a very pregnant Mindy Lahiri in different settings. One of the more recent photos (below) includes the caption: "Night shoot, 9 months pregnant, season 4 #missoni #themindyproject"
Now, Kaling herself has confirmed that at this point in the production process, her character is nine months pregnant. Only two weeks ago, she snapped another photo (below) of one of the show's first table reads for season 4. Now, I'm not Olivia Benson, but if we do the math (carry the one, multiply by seven or something) then it's likely that Mindy is nine months pregnant near the very beginning of season 4 and thus the spoiler above is probably true.
Did anyone follow that logic?
Another interesting find on Kaling's Instagram is this photo (below):
In the shot, we see Morgan, Tamra, and Beverly sporting "Later, baby!" attire, presumably as a collaborative effort to bid Mindy's baby farewell as she prepares to deliver him/her into this world. Mindy's co-workers are known for going above and beyond when it comes to stuff like this (remember #TeamPeter?), but what I really want to know is could this photo be a scene from when Mindy's in labour? If so, where's Danny?
Also interesting to note is the presence of Brendan and Duncan Deslaurier, the midwives from upstairs who the doctors of Shulman & Associates can't stand. If Mindy is going to be giving birth in an "unconventional" way, there really is nothing more unconventional than a subway car with two people you can't stand ready and able to deliver your baby.
Just food for thought.
What are your predictions for The Mindy Project season 4? Leave us a comment below!

Partnership Law for Employment Lawyers. Clare Murray CM Murray LLP. Partnership Spoilers. General Partnerships and LLPs covered by separate bodies of law In the absence of a partnership or LLP agreement certain default rules regulate individuals' rights & duties

CM Murray LLP
General Partnerships are regulated by:
"Partnership is the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit" s1(1) PA
Each partner:
But an exiting partner remains responsible:
Duty of Good Faith is owed by each partner to the others in all partnership dealings and transactions
Core fiduciary obligations of a partner are
loyalty (fidelity) and good faith, incorporating:
"If fiduciary relation means anything I cannot conceive a stronger case of fiduciary relation that that which exists between partners." V-C Bacon, Helmore v Smith (1887)
Common Law duty of Good faith is reinforced by PA 1890:
Default rules which apply, in absence of agreement otherwise:
Right to dissolve a partnership at will by giving notice of dissolution to the other partners; no advance notice required.
Partnership at will arises:
In practice they tend to occur where:
Dissolution can trigger winding up of the business
Right to petition Court for dissolution of Partnership under s35:
An LLP is a corporate entity with its own separate legal existence
Flexible internal ownership and governance structure
LLP usually carries the duties and liabilities, contracts with third parties and usually owns the assets of the business
LLPs are regulated, not by general partnership law (except in limited circumstances), but by:
Designated Members:
Responsibilities set out in CA and IA
Ensure LLP disclosure/compliance obligations are fulfilled e.g.
If in default Designated Members may be found guilty of
an offence and liable to a fine.
Default rules which apply in the absence of agreement otherwise, include
Key Default Rules (cont'd)
Expulsion, Resignation and Dissolution:
No majority of Members can expel any Member unless power to do so has been conferred by express agreement (Reg 8)
Voluntary retirement:
(NB. Legislation is silent on financial consequences of exit)
Right to petition the Court to exercise its power to order winding up:
Are fiduciary duties owed between Members, to the LLP and by Senior Management to the LLP?
Every Member is the agent of the LLP (s6(1) LLPA)
His acts are attributed to and bind the LLP (except in certain circumstances or as otherwise agreed)
When does he owe fiduciary duties to the LLP (beyond those set out in the Regulations - not compete without consent and not make secret profit)?
Contractual duty of utmost good faith – analogous to but not same as fiduciary duties.
Extent of contractual duty of good faith depends on factual and contractual context
Must have regard to legitimate interests of the LLP, but not obliged to act in interests of the LLP or subordinate/defer own legitimate interests to them
Contractual duty of good faith embraces:
"Dividing line" regarding duty to disclose in contractual duty of good faith
No automatic fiduciary duties owed between LLP Members
"Fiduciary duties arise from particular circumstances, where a person assumes responsibility for the management of another's property or affairs"
Therefore where one has assumed to act in relation to the property or affairs of another, he comes under fiduciary duties to that other person
The extent of the duties will depend on the particular case.
No general fiduciary duties automatically owed by Members to LLP beyond statutory duties of no competition without consent & no secret profit
s.6 LLPA does not mean that members owe fiduciary duties to the LLP in everything they do.
Look at "the specific roles and responsibilities arising in the particular context in question in order to assess whether and what fiduciary obligations may arise"
None of the Members (in that capacity), had direct control over the affairs and property of the LLP or of each other in a manner which could to give rise to fiduciary duties
Fiduciary obligations of LLP Board Members/ Management etc to LLP?
"ask what obligations of a fiduciary character may reasonably be expected to apply in the particular context, where the contract between the parties wil usually provide the major part of the contextual framework in which that questions arises"
Consider the precise nature of the relation in question to determine the type of fiduciary oblations which apply.
Contractual context may mean the parties could not reasonably expect fiduciary obligations should apply.
When assessing Board member decisions, the Court will have regard to what Board Members genuinely thought to be in the best interests of the LLP
Measure the entire business relationship against s.1 PA 1890:
"Partnership is the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit"
s.1(3) PA 1890:
"The receipt...of a share of the profits of the business is prima facie evidence that he is a partner in the business but ..does not of itself make him a partner in the business.."
"..impossible to say …. a salaried partner is or is not necessarily a partner in the true sense. He may or may not be a partner depending on the facts…."
"What must be done is to look at the substance of the relationship between the parties … and not..any mere label attached to that relationship."
"One must in every case look at the terms of the relationship to ascertain whether or not it creates a true partnership"
Stekel v Ellice [1973] Megarry J
Sharing in profits and losses v. Guaranteed pay
Sharing in liabilities v. Indemnity against liabilities from Partners
Capital Investment v. No capital requirement
Participation in management v. Subject to control
Ability to hire, fire & sign cheques v. No such rights
Participation in assets on winding up of the Firm v. No participation
Held out as a partner, inc name on firm notepaper v. Not held out as Partner
"A member of a limited liability partnership shall not be regarded for any purpose as employed by the limited liability partnership unless, if he and the other members were partners in a partnership, he would be regarded for that purpose as employed by the partnership"
Was served notice by the partnership
Claim to ET for unfair dismissal, breach of contract and
redundancy rejected – he was a partner, not employee
Appealed to EAT on basis he believed he was in reality an employee as:
There is no certain minimum number or types of rights to vote or to participate in management decisions to qualify as a partner
"..in many large professional partnership, all but a few of the partners have any right to participate in the overwhelming range of decisions made by the firm and yet they are clearly partners"
Court of Appeal: He was a Partner, not an employee
Whistle blowing protections (Court of Appeal - Clyde & Co & Morris v Bates Van Winkelhof )
ET: Claimant not a worker & could not pursue whistle blowing claim
S230 (3) ERA: Worker means an individual who entered into or works/worked under :
"a) a contract of employment, or
b) any other contract, whether express of implied and (if it is express) whether oral or in writing, whereby the individual undertakes to do or perform personally any work or services for another party to the contract whose status is not by virtue of the contract that of a client or customer of any profession or business undertaking carried on by the individual"
ET: Claimant was in business in her own right, receiving a share of profit for work carried out and did not satisfy limb b) of definition
The LLP as other party to contract, was a client or customer of the business/profession carried on by her
EAT: ET decision overturned - Claimant was a worker & could pursue whistle blowing claim
Claimant was in a subordinate position within the Firm
It was impossible to describe the LLP as her client or customer
She therefore fell within limb b) definition of worker
Firm appealed:
Court of Appeal: Claimant not a worker & could not pursue whistle blowing claim
A member of a limited liability partnership shall not be regarded for any purpose as employed by the limited liability partnership unless, if he and the other members were partners in a partnership, he would be regarded for that purpose as employed by the partnership". S4(4) LLPA 2000:
CoA: Claimant would have been a partner if this had been a partnership
Court preferred wider view that "employed by the limited liability partnership" meant both employees and limb b) workers
Central question then - whether gen. partnership partners could be limb b) workers
Clear authority that such a partner could not be a worker:
As with employees, partner restrictive covenants are void unless they are:
But separate body of law has developed regarding partnership restrictive covenants

Green is a great role model to youth basketball players and a testament of persistence when following one's dream.
The Danny Green Shooting Workout showcases some of the drills used during camp. There are also some drills that are great to build into before getting into the game situation shooting.
