I have an ilesotomy and do have a hernia, have had 4 blockages this spring and am nervous about diet and different food's effects with regard to blockages or diarrhea.
Illeostomy – Dealing with a potential blockage:
After an ileostomy is created, it may be harder to digest foods that are high in fiber, such as raw vegetables, popcorn, and nuts. Eaten in large amounts, these foods can clump together. Then they get stuck in the small intestine, causing a blockage. You need to know the signs of a blockage and what to do if you have one.
A blockage can be an emergency. That's because you can become dehydrated quickly. The intestine can also rupture. You need to know the signs just in case you do have a blockage:
- At first, you may have an almost constant spurting of very watery stool. Your intestine is taking water from your body to try to get rid of the blockage.
- You may feel bloated or have cramping. The stool may have a strong odor. The stoma or the skin around the stoma may swell.
- If the blockage remains, the flow of the stool will stop totally. Then you'll have increased pain, often leading to nausea and vomiting.
What to do
You can try one or more of the following:
- Put on a pouch with a larger opening.
- Gently massage your belly with the palms of your hands.
- Lie on your back. Pull your knees to your chest and rock from side to side.
- Take a hot bath for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Do not eat any solid food.
- Do not take any laxatives or stool softeners. They cause your body to lose more water.
When to call a healthcare provider
Call your healthcare provider or NSWOC, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room if:
- You have increased pain and cramping with nothing produced from your stoma in 2 hours or more.
- You start to vomit.
Ways to help prevent a blockage
Sometimes a blockage happens no matter what you do. But you can help prevent a blockage:
- Drink at least 8 to 12 cups (2 to 3 quarts) of fluids, such as water or juice, each day.
- Chew your food slowly and thoroughly.
- Eat only small amounts of foods that are high in fiber or cellulose. These include raw vegetables, unpeeled fresh fruits, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, cabbage, celery, coconut, corn, mushrooms, pea pods, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, popcorn, and hot dogs and other meats in casings.
- Go easy on bran and other high-fiber grains, such as granola.
More Helpful Dietary Information
The impact of food and drink on your stoma is hard to predict as diet is very individual. Various surveys suggest that foods can affect people in different ways after stoma surgery. While many people find that they can eat just the same diet as before their surgery, some find there are things that can have an adverse effect on the activity of their stoma. They may then choose to avoid those foods, or include them in their diets and be prepared for the effects.
Many people report that a good way to ascertain which foods and drinks are suitable for them is to keep a food diary so that patterns between diet and stoma output can be identified. You can then base your diet on what you have observed to be agreeable in terms of stoma output. There may be a certain degree of trial and error, especially in the first few months after your stoma is formed when the bowel is swollen. This swelling (or edema) is the reason why a stoma may look puffy initially and can cause problems digesting food that would otherwise not occur, so it's sometimes worth trying a food again later on before deciding whether to eliminate from your diet completely.
Information about diet and healthy eating for the general public is often conflicting and difficult to interpret. Add to this a stoma and many people feel confused about what they should and shouldn't be eating.
Most people with stomas do not need to change their diets and should follow a normal healthy eating pattern like the rest of the population. If you have recently had your surgery or have been unwell, ensuring that you get all the essential nutrients from your diet is even more important and putting unnecessary restrictions on your diet could slow down your recovery and healing.
The purpose of the following information is to offer general information, for further information about diet, ask your physician to refer you to a dietician in order to explore any important factors to take into consideration regarding your individual stoma management and general wellbeing.
A balanced diet is made up of:
- Starchy foods such as potatoes, rice & grains, bread, and pasta, for energy. Try different varieties, including wholemeal vs refined/white rice and pasta.
- Fruit and vegetables provide a wide range of vitamins and minerals and both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre is found in the flesh of fruit & veg and can help lower cholesterol as well as make stool thicker, softer and easier to pass (helpful for those with a colostomy or ileostomy who wish to thicken their output). Insoluble fibre is found in the skins of fruit & veg and helps move waste through your bowel, so can help with constipation (helpful for those with a colostomy who experience pancaking and anyone who experiences constipation). If you have a colostomy or ileostomy, immediately after surgery foods containing insoluble fibre may make your stoma behave unpredictably, so you may wish to avoid or limit your intake of them. As your bowel adjusts you can re-introduce them and see how they affect you.
- Protein-rich foods for growth and healing. Protein comes from meat, fish, eggs, soya and it is the substance we use to heal wounds and regain muscle.
- To promote general wellbeing, fatty foods should be limited. However, if you are recovering from surgery or have a small appetite and need to gain weight, including more of these foods in the short term is a good idea.
Individual Differences
The vast majority of people with a urostomy (a stoma that passes urine) find that their food intake is unaffected by having a stoma, however, some food and medications can make urine discoloured or smelly (e.g. beetroot can make your urine pink and antibiotics and asparagus can make it smell strange).
Importance of chewing
It sounds very obvious, but it is vitally important to chew food thoroughly when eating. Chewing is the first stage of digestion and in doing this we make more nutrients available from our food. Foods that contain cellulose such as nuts, grain, fruit & vegetables (particularly the skins) cannot be completely broken down in the digestive system. So, you may notice these coming through your stoma looking the way they did when you ate them. Immediately after bowel surgery, your bowel is swollen and this narrows the passageway for food to pass along.
Fluid Intake
It is essential for everyone to drink enough to keep their kidneys healthy and flush out the chemicals that build up in the blood. You should aim to drink enough throughout the day that your urine is a light straw colour. The following information is for the specific stoma types but does not take into account other medical conditions. If you have been given different information from your healthcare professionals please check with them before making any changes.
People with urostomies enjoy a few glasses of water a day. This will help to prevent infections.
If you have a colostomy, your fluid intake can remain as normal unless you are experiencing constipation or pancaking. If you have this problem, increasing your fluid intake can be really helpful.
People with ileostomies, particularly if the stoma is formed higher up in the bowel, can have more difficulties with their fluid intake. This is because it is the role of the large bowel to absorb water (and salt) and for people with ileostomies this is no longer being used. The small bowel will, with time, adapt to absorb more water and more salt, however careful attention should be paid to ensure that you are drinking an adequate, varied fluid intake to maintain kidney health. Remember, you are aiming for light straw coloured urine.
For those who are more active, it is even more important to pay attention to your fluid intake. Fluids are lost through sweating that contains electrolytes.
Everyone should bear in mind that alcohol is a dehydrating fluid and caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee cause you to lose more fluid in your urine. The majority of your fluid intake should, therefore, be from fluids such as water and fruit cordials.
A little of what you fancy….
Of course, every now and again you will want to enjoy a treat like cake or ice cream and there is no reason why you can't indulge once in a while! Healthy eating is about moderation and after stoma surgery, it is also about trial and error. Take your time to explore how different foods affect your stoma, chew your meals, maintain varied fluid intake and, most importantly, enjoy your food!
Some foods affect output. The effects may vary.

Today brought some earth-shattering news that nobody saw coming in any way, at all, ever: Nintendo is releasing an SNES Classic Edition.
I know this may come as a complete and total surprise to everyone here but TB and I actually managed to put every ounce of our gaming industry knowledge together and figured out that this might be coming. Please, hold your applause.
As such, we both came up with some prediction lists about which games may be included. So let's see how we did! Note, I left the organization the same as when we both originally posted them.
TB's Predictions (or read our article here!):
Nintendo-owned games:
- Super Mario World
- Super Metroid
- Super Mario RPG
- Super Mario Kart
- Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
- Yoshi's Island
- Super Punch Out
- Kirby Dream Land 3
- Kirby Super Star
- Pilot Wings
- F-Zero
- Donkey Kong Country 1
- Donkey Kong Country 2
- Donkey Kong Country 3
- Star Fox
Third parties
- Super Castlevania IV (Konami)
- Super Ghouls n' Ghosts (Capcom)
- Mega Man X (Capcom)
- Earthbound (Nintendo)
- Chrono Trigger (Square)
- Street Fighter II (Capcom)
- Super Contra (Konami)
- Bust-a-Movie (Taito)
- NBA JAM TE (Midway/Acclaim)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV (Konami)
Long shots
- Final Fantasy VI (Square)
- Secret of Mana (Square)
- Actraiser (Enix)
- Illusion of Gaia (Enix)
- Wild Guns (Natsume)
- Harvest Moon (Natsume)
Crosstix' Predictions (originally posted on his Facebook page on April 19th):
1. Super Mario World
2. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
3. Donkey Kong Country
4. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
5. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble
6. Kirby's Avalanche
7. Kirby Super Star
8. Kirby Dream Course
9. Pilotwings
10. The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
11. Super Metroid
12. F-Zero
13. Star Fox
14. Super Punch-Out!!
15. Wario's Woods
16. Earthbound
17. Super Mario Kart
18. Super Castlevania IV
19. Contra III: The Alien Wars
20. Mega Man X
21. NBA Jam: Tournament Edition
22. Secret of Mana
23. Chrono Trigger
24. ActRaiser
25. Bust-a-Move
26. Gradius III
27. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
28. Super Ghouls'N Ghosts
29. Super Bomberman
30. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
So, how did we actually do? Well, we both went under the assumption that the SNES Classic would follow the NES Classic's example and include 30 games. We were wrong. Nintendo decided to cut 9 titles and only include 21 which is kind of a bummer. Here's the list of games officially confirmed for the SNES Classic Edition:
- Contra III: The Alien Wars
- Donkey Kong Country
- EarthBound
- Final Fantasy III
- Kirby Super Star
- Kirby's Dream Course
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Mega Man X
- Secret of Mana
- Star Fox
- Star Fox 2
- Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
- Super Castlevania IV
- Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
- Super Mario Kart
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- Super Mario World
- Super Metroid
- Super Punch-Out!!
- Yoshi's Island
Not too much that's actually any surprise at all, right? Pretty much everything we'd expect except…
Yeah, take another look at number 12 there. STAR FOX 2! You may be thinking to yourself, "hmm… I don't remember playing Star Fox 2 as a kid. Is that another name for Star Fox 64?" NOPE! The reason you don't remember Star Fox 2 is because it was never actually released. ROMs of development builds have been floating around forever but the game was never officially released until now. Depending on what kind of build we'll be getting here, be it a development build or an actually complete version of the game, this is could be huge for gaming historians.
So anyway, onto the actually important stuff, we have to figure out who won!
TB – 19 correct, 2 missed
Crosstix – 19 correct, 2 missed
WE HAVE A TIE! Actually, both TB and I guessed the vast majority correct but he missed Kirby's Dream Course (betting on Kirby's Dream Land 3 instead) and I missed Final Fantasy III plus we both missed Star Fox 2. Technically speaking, we both guessed the wrong version of Street Fighter 2 they'd include but we did both include some form of Street Fighter 2 on our list. I'm counting that as a win since it'd be more accurate to guess which version they'd pick by throwing a dart at a board. Also, TB said Super Contra instead of Contra III: The Alien Wars but since Super C is actually an NES game, I'd say it's safe to give him the benefit of the doubt here and assume he meant to say the only SNES Contra game: Contra III: The Alien Wars.
As a possible tie-breaker here, I want to throw out one thing stated in the comments section for TB's predictions. The whole comment has been left in for context:
While it didn't make my actual list, when spit-balling ideas, I did actually post, in writing, Star Fox 2 making it to the SNES Classic, albeit as something that would likely never happen. I'll leave that up to you all to determine whether or not that counts or if this remains a tie game.
Game on!

Soft Cotton Tea Towels by Raine & Humble
Raine and Humble are an Australian brand that we have come across in our travels (not to Australia though, sadly).
We love their subtle, original printed fabrics and these tea towels do not disappoint. What really grabbed us with these though is how unimaginably soft they are for a humble tea towel.
You get two in a set, both are largely grey and cream but one has light blue accents, the other burnt orange.

Genomics can solve disease mysteries
August 30, 2017 at 9:32 pm | Nicole
Category: Health + Genetics
Research focused from a clinical perspective generates breakthroughs for both medicine and genetics.
Earlier this year, the New York Times reported how a family afflicted by a rare hand deformity joined forces with Dr. Stefan Mundlos at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics to reveal new concepts in healthcare genomics. Newly defined structural abnormalities were found in afflicted family members, and biologists were able to deduce how the structural changes affected gene expression in the hand. This breakthrough never would have occurred if the researchers remained focused on individual genes. Similar structural abnormalities have been linked to a number of other diseases as well.

Boarding Schools in Mississippi
Zion Educational Systems is a online directory of boarding schools, that provides a directory of the most suitable therapeutic centers for their teen in Mississippi; who may be wrestling with meth abuse/addiction and/or sexual promiscuity.
Zion Educational Systems is a family advocacy and consultation organization for parents, meaning that parents teens can complete their diploma through our programs, while simultaneously learning the skills required for sobriety and recovery at a "School for Troubled Teens." Parents of troubled teens should also keep in mind that, while the best boarding schools may be located outside of Mississippi, these schools for troubled teens accept teens from all throughout the country.
Ideally, parents will be looking for quality boarding schools in Mississippi that are academic institutions, that also provide intensive integrated therapy. This means that, while the students may not be able to function in a traditional school as a result of emotional disturbance or behavioral issues, they will find the treatment and academic focus they need in a therapeutic boarding school.
How Do Boarding Schools Help?
Boarding schools serve specific needs, such as emotional issues, disciplinary issues, and substance abuse problems. Most boarding schools are staffed by skilled, highly credentialed staff to ensure the best possible outcome for teens. In fact, the state in which a school is located will have legislated minimum requirements for curriculum content which every school must either meet or exceed. BoardingSchoolReview shows that 99% of boarding schools exceed these minimum requirements while providing a warm, family atmosphere.
This nurturing environment facilitates both healing and learning, making the therapeutic boarding schools recommended by our consultants at Zion Educational Systems the best options available in Mississippi. Our consultants are available to help parents of troubled teens find the optimal facility for their child. We help to place teens in programs and boarding schools that improve academics, provide the necessary life skills required for a life of successful sobriety, and bolster self-efficacy.
Although it is possible that the best boarding school or treatment program for troubled teenagers may be located outside the state of Mississippi, these top therapeutic centers are dedicated to troubled teens from all over the country. Also, the experienced family consultants at Zion Educational Systems recommend to have struggling teenagers receive support away from the negative influences of unsupportive peers.
Zion Educational Systems is a top family advocacy and educational consulting organization, dedicating their support to the parents of at-risk adolescent boys and girls in Mississippi; who are exploring the optimal treatment program for their struggling teen.
Co-Ed Boarding Schools for Teens from Mississippi
While attending a co-ed school for teens, suggested by our consultants, teens will be able to complete their diploma, while simultaneously learning the skills required for sobriety and recovery. Such programs and residential boarding schools have been proven to have a dramatic impact on the lives of teens, turning them onto the right path of healing and success.
Some parents worry about there being less distractions afforded to their teens in a school segregated by sex. However, modern psychology and knowledge of the workforce will tell you that the genders need to be educated together as equals, and that co-ed schools are critical for teaching male and female teens to get along with one another. Co-ed boarding schools are far more beneficial than schools segregated by sex.
Benefits of Co-Ed Boarding Schools
Co-ed boarding schools create a feeling of equality between the genders, and prepares teens for the workforce. Troubled teens will be able to create healthy, interpersonal relationships based on mutual respect, rather than with a focus being on gender. By contrast, schools segregated by sex are quite misguided and actually increase gender stereotyping, which can lead to myriad issues later on.
This is why co-educational students grow to be more confident in expressing their views in the presence of members of the opposite sex. Furthermore, collaboration between the sexes in the classroom helps to develop confidence in teens and helps them to excel during their time at university, and as leaders in the workforce.
Parents of teens are encouraged to enroll their troubled teen in a co-educational environment as a way of preparing them for the workforce and "real world" situations. Being around members of the opposite gender will help to demolish misconceptions of the genders and provides an excellent foundation for the development of realistic, healthy relationships throughout their lives. Our consultants at Zion Educational Systems are happy to help parents of teens to find the optimal boarding school for their teens and their individual situations.
Helping Parents Research the Best Schools
As a Family Advocacy group, our job is to help parents research schools and programs in your state of Mississippi; designed to best treat troubled teens. Next, we represent parents as we help to get an enrollment at the best boarding school offered at the best price. Since ZES is able to work directly for parents, representing the best interest of the child and family, we are able to get scholarships and discounts from top schools in Mississippi where others can't.
Helping parents to determine, "what is the perfect school for troubled teens" is the most important step we offer. Our second step, after we have helped to evaluate your unique situation, is is to help you secure an enrollment at the school of your choice. This would include the process of securing you the lowest possible tuition rate based on scholarships and discounts. We can't promise you that a school will offer a discount, but if anyone can get you the best price it is ZES.
Zion Educational Systems is a premier online directory of therapeutic programs, offering direction to parents of struggling teenage boys and girls in Mississippi who are exploring the most suitable treatment programs for their adolescent child; who may be wrestling with bipolar disorder and/or drug dependence dilemmas. Call our professional family consultant at (866) 471-8579 today!

The Elder Scrolls Online Leveling Guide – 1-50 + 810 Champion Points
Welcome to our leveling guide for the Elder Scrolls Online. Here we will provide you with the information you need to level your character as fast as possible from 1 to 50 with max Champion Points, and all the Skill Points.
Leveling to level 50 can be done in only a few hours if done right, but leveling Champion Points takes a lot longer. Expect months of in-game time to reach cap if you are a casual player. If you grind all the way it can be done in 10-14 days in-game time.
If you need a build for your class, check out our ESO builds here.
I do not recommend that you pay for any sort of leveling guide for ESO, as the info in this guide will get you to level 50 as fast as any other guide, free or not.
This guide has been updated for Elsweyr
Guide Contents
The Elder Scrolls Online Leveling Guide Index
ESO Experience Boosters and Bonuses
First things first, let's make leveling go fast! With XP boosters you can make leveling go a lot faster than normal. Everything from potions to gear and special double XP events will make your leveling process go a lot faster. Below we will list all the main ways of boosting your XP.
Experience Scrolls & Ambrosia Drinks
You can get Crown Experience Scrolls in various ways.
The first and easiest way is to get them for free through the daily reward system in the crown store. You can get quite a few every month, even some 150% ones, so log in and claim your rewards.
You can also get Crown Experience Scrolls either in the Crown Crates which you can on some occasions also get for free through special events in the game, but usually, you have to buy. You can also buy Crown Experience Scrolls with the Crown Gems that you get from the chests.
Lastly, you can get XP scrolls from the standard way of buying them in the Crown Store.
Ambrosia Drinks work in the same way as experience scrolls. Ambrosia Drinks and Crown Experience Scrolls do not stack. There are three types of Ambrosia drinks that can be either crafted (which is pretty hard) or bought from a Guild Trader. They usually cost around 2000-3000 gold for the cheapest option and go up to quite a lot for the best one. If you loot and sell everything while grinding you should be able to pay for the upkeep of having an Ambrosia Drink constantly going.
Check out our ESO Gold guide here if you need gold for Ambrosia Drinks.
The different Ambrosia Drinks are:
- Psijic Ambrosia Drink (50% Bonus XP)
- Aetherial Ambrosia Drink (100% Bonus XP)
- Mythic Aetherial Ambrosia Drink (150% Bonus XP)
ESO Plus
ESO plus will not only give you a 10% boost to experience, but 1500 crowns that can be spent on Experience Boosters, and access to additional quests and areas to level up in.
Double XP Events
During holiday events in ESO, you will be able to complete quests to get items that will grant you 100% bonus experience. These bonuses stack with all other XP boosts. These events are:
- The Witches Festival (Halloween October / November)
- New Life Festival (December/January)
- Jester's Festival (March/April)
- Midyear Mayhem (Summer)
Ritual of Mara
The Ritual of Mara is basically two players getting married. You will be awarded the Ring of Mara and when you play together you will get a 10% XP bonus.
Duoing is actually the most efficient way of leveling. You still get full XP and a slight bonus when grouping with one other player. Anything more than that and XP gain will start to diminish a little.
When you get to max level and start gaining Champion points you gain 400.000 enlightenment per day. You can store up to 4.8m enlightenment. When you are enlightened, you gain Champion point XP four times faster faster.

When leveling, the best gear you can use is gear with the "Training" trait. These gear pieces will give you a bonus XP for killing mobs. For alts you can easily craft this gear with your main or buy it from guild vendors.
For new players you can get it by playing the game, doing dolmens or bosses. You can also try joining a guild and seeing if someone can make you some leveling gear, usually someone will.
ESO Leveling Addons
The Zygor Guides Community leveling addon for ESO, is a completely free in-game leveling addon that will help you level up. Complete with all the information you need to level quicker, especially if you are leveling by doing quests.
ESO Quest Leveling
Questing in ESO might not be the fastest way to level, but it has a good storyline, and a lot of quests. You should always consider doing the main storyline as you get 11 skill points from it.
ESO Level by Grinding
Grinding is one of the most efficient ways of leveling in ESO.
Some of the best and most popular grinds are zombie grinds. Since zombies are slow and die quickly, they make for the ideal mod to grind. There are three main areas where people farm zombies.
Verrant Morass Zombie Grind in Greenshade
A popular zombie grind and close to a wayshrine for teleporting.
Sentinel Zombie Grind in Alik'r Dessert
My favorite zombie grind. A lot of people run dolmens in Alik'r Dessert as well so you got the choice to switch it up a bit between the two.
The Vile Laboratory Zombie Grind in Coldharbour
Skyreach Catacombs Grind
If you want an instanced grind, you should go for Skyreach. You should have a couple hundred CP before you can start farming effciently here though.
ESO Dungeon Leveling
You should do every dungeon at least once for the quest. You should also do one Random Dungeon per day for the 4x XP bonus.
Undaunted Pledges
When leveling in dungeons you should also get your 3 daily Undaunted Pledges. These quests are available from the Undaunted Enclaves in Wayrest, Mournhold and Elden Root.
ESO Dolmen Leveling
Dolmens are one of the best ways to level quickly in ESO. You just have to show up at a Dolmen and attack something at least once, and you will get full XP and some nice gear.
I usually use the Dolmens in Alik'r Dessert as they will always have tons of players doing them so they only take about a minute to finish and you can move on to the next one.
ESO Alts for Leveling
Enlightenment is shared between all your characters, but having alts for leveling CP is still beneficial as you can run dungeons for the bonus on each alt and also do daily quests.
Eso Leveling by Crafting
The fastest way to level alts is by using Alchemy and Enchanting, and doing Master Writs while using an XP potion. By doing this you can get to level 50 in an hour or two. This is very expensive though, and should only be done if you have a lot of gold.
ESO PvP Leveling
PvP isn't really good for leveling in general, but the first Battleground queue that you do each day reward you with 4x XP, just like the daily dungeon. Making it worth it to do one Battleground a day.
ESO Skill Point Leveling
There are many types of skills in ESO, and it is important to also level up your skills. How you level up your skills differ from skill to skill.
Class Skills
These are leveled automatically as you use them. Simply slot into your skill bar and use the skill to the skill line.
Weapon Skills
Works much the same as class skills. Equip a type of weapon and use skills from the skill line of that weapon.
Armor Skills
These are leveled automatically by wearing armor. Use 5 of your main type of armor and one of each of the other two to level them all up and benefit the most from the gear.
Soul Magic Skills
are leveled up as you advance through the main story.
Legerdemain Skills
Level up by unlocking chests, stealing and laundering stolen goods.
Werewolf Skills
Leveled up through killing mobs in Werewolf form.
Vampire Skills
Vampire is leveled by earning XP as normal.
Fighters Guild
Complete guild story quests, bounties in Cyrodiil, doing dolmens and killing daedra and undead will level your Fighters Guild skills.
Mages Guild
Leveled through story quests, public dungeon daily quests and finding lorebooks all over the world.
Thieves Guild
Leveled through story quests and repeatable quests.
Dark Brotherhood
Leveled through story quests, repeatable quests and contracts.
Psijic Order
Leveled through story quests.
Leveled through dungeons and daily pledges.
Skyshards give you 1 skill point for every 3 that you find, so looking for Skyshards should be done as you level up. The location for each Skyshard can be found here.
The Fastest Way to Level in ESO
- Get as much XP bonus as possible.
- Do your daily dungeon / battleground / Undaunted pledges (if possible on more than one character.)
- Grind Dolmens / Zombie grinds / Skyreach
- The way I do it is that I enter a daily PvP battleground, at the end if we are winning, pop an XP potion. When you exit go to Alik'r Dessert and run Dolmens while you queue for your daily dungeon. I did this today with a 150% XP scroll and went from 28 to 36 in about 2 hours.
That's it for our ESO leveling guide. Now that you are level 50, check out our class builds here. If you have any question or suggestions, leave a comment below and I will get back to you!
Marius BuysMarch 15, 2019
Great guide! Keep at it.
Al-October 9, 2019
F***ing great! Thank you so much! I have been playing Elsweyr with a new character (Necromancer Class) and I have found that I MUST be level 40?/45? (some sort of it) in order to play Scalebraker dungeons! Thank you again, I will try this tomorrow first thing in the morning… d
BekirJanuary 22, 2020
What I do is actually to complete some 15 ~ 20 quests but not ending them and then using an xp scroll and finishing them all at once. Most of the xp from quests coming at the end. Very cheap but efficient.

It's not that I dress up to go to the gym–I'm really only there to work out. But I'm also well aware of the fact that people who are just at the gym to work out also look around at their fellow gym-goers, even if it's just to say hello or ask if someone is done with a certain piece of equipment. When you go to the same gym all the time, you inevitably run into people you know. You get workout ideas from people around you. (I'm convinced that the reason there are so many mirrors in the gym is so you can look at people with a smaller chance of them realizing they're being looked at.) So, because I am conscious of the fact that people will see me, and because I am not a caveman, I put a little effort into my gym attire. Today's internal wardrobe debate came about because I happened across this shirt, and I stopped to contemplate whether I should wear it to the gym on base. Continue reading "Wearing my Pride"

Why I'm Alone in Japan, Part 2
My previous post included all the information I had to date on how I ended up on a permanent assignment without my husband Ben. I know that it is being used as a reference for people who want to help us, including people at the Pentagon who are working on this issue. A week later, I have no news except that the issue is still being worked on. As of this morning, it's been 16 days since Ben had to leave Okinawa. His 90-day passport stamp was due to expire and he needed to leave to avoid violating Japanese immigration laws.
Today is the big day!
Today is the day! All the news of our wedding will be at our blog, benandmatthew.com
I'm Getting Married in the Morning (actually the afternoon)
If you haven't found it already, be sure to check out our wedding blog at benandmatthew.com. You can watch the ceremony online at Livestream. Please also consider donating to our Okinawa Fund to help us move to Okinawa together as the military still doesn't recognize Ben and my husband and dependent.
On sexuality, ignorance, and sex in the showers
Whenever opponents of open gay service in the military are asked why they favor "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) (or an outright ban on gays serving in the military), they respond that sexuality has no place in the military, and they couldn't be more wrong. As long as there are humans serving in the military, sexuality will have a place there as well. Even a cursory glance at Maslow's hierarchy of needs shows that sexuality plays a role in the human condition. It plays a role in every level of this pyramid, yet opponents of gay service ignore the role sexuality plays in all of our lives, starting with their own.

On Marines, equality, and my date to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball (Part 3)
I have spent most of my career being single. Anyone who has been in a relationship with a Marine knows it's difficult. Long hours, short-notice trips, weeks in the field, months on deployment, weekends/holidays/birthdays missed–these affect all of us. DADT just added another complex layer to an already difficult endeavor. For someone to be in a relationship with me, he would be to required accept the fact that I was going to lie about who he was if I mentioned him at all. When asked by commanders and coworkers if I was married, I'd say no even if we lived together. It is the epitome of a double life: on the one hand there is a special person who makes the unique challenges of your life remotely bearable, while at the same time you're denying to anyone interested that he even exists. If you do let down long enough to go out in public together, your head is on a swivel, always looking out for anyone who may see you doing something that could get you in trouble. Even going to the gym could be a challenge–you want to spend the time together as a couple, but if there are Marines at the same gym, you're just "workout buddies" and it becomes even worse: he has to stand there while you deny your relationship in front of his face. How many times can you do that before you just give up trying? I have no idea what that must have felt like for the men I dated. I do know that it killed a piece of me every time I had to do it.

On Marines, equality, and my date to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball (Part 4)
We got a cab to the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego and walked to the entrance. Standing there and looking around to see Marines throughout the lobby, we both thought, "What the hell are we doing here?" We looked at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped inside. We were careful from the very beginning not to be too close to each other. At one point, while the one of us who passed land navigation as a lieutenant in Quantico, VA managed to get lost on the way to the bathroom, our hands bumped and we quickly pulled them back. We made our way to the bar because the glass of wine and cocktail we had while getting ready weren't taking the edge off as effectively as we'd hoped. A Marine I knew from work walked up and introduced his wife.

He is one of this year's more collectable artists, turning out multicoloured modernist vases featuring abstract faces and working with the likes of Fendi and John Galliano. Now John Booth is turning his hand to travel accessories in the shape of a collaboration with British luggage brand Globe-Trotter.
The Cumbria-born, Bethnal Green-based illustrator has created a limited edition capsule collection in which each piece is designed to attach to the same lanyard, allowing for a more hands-free voyage and making life easier during the dash through the airport.
The passport holder (£105), purse (from £160), keyring (£55) and card holder (£160) are all made from leather and printed in Booth's trademark jaunty designs, with flourishes of primary colours set against equally vibrant backgrounds. Particularly delightful are the yellow passport holder with an orange brushstroke and the pink card holder featuring a flourish of grassy green. The keyrings come in circular or rectangular shapes, and there's also a fetching luggage tag (£135) featuring a bold blue strap juxtaposed against a yellow tag with an orange brushstroke.
The collaboration stemmed from a visit Booth made to Globe-Trotter's Hertfordshire factory. Established in 1897, the brand counts Winston Churchill, Kate Moss and the Queen among its customers, and still makes its luggage and accessories using methods and machinery that date back to the Victorian era.
"I loved seeing how the products are made," Booth says. "I wanted the collection to retain a focus on travel, but also be usable in everyday life. Inspired by my travels, I saw how people used accessories in a functional yet decorative way, and I wanted to capture this in the pieces."
The range is available in Globe-Trotter flagship stores and online from Friday June 30.

A responsible parent should know that every time you take your kid for a ride inside your vehicle, he or she is safely strapped into a car seat. Buying a car seat is one of the most important things to do as a parent of a 4-year-old kid and nothing about it says it's easy. There are so many choices in the market, but the safety of your child should always be your priority.
To lessen the burden, we researched and narrowed it down and recommend you to consider these 3 car seats for 4 year olds.
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1
A top seller for its compelling price and safety qualities, it has received numerous positive reviews from parents who bought it. Although, this toddler car seat is forward facing, making it unsuitable to be transformed into an infant. However, this setback is nothing compared to its capability to hold up to 100 pounds of weight, making it possible to be converted into a booster as your kid gets older.
The 3-in-1 stands for its three different modes designed to fit children with different builds. These three include the Harness mode, High back booster mode, and backless mode.
The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 is equipped with LATCH that has a reinforced steel and ESP energy absorbing foam to protect your kid from any impact. It also has an expanded 5-point harness for kids weighing between 20 and 65 lbs. Other features include 3-position recline, adjustable headrest and accessible storage and cup holders.
Evenflo Maestro
You would normally find combination boosters with a removable 5-point harness to be heavy, big and pricey. However, this is not the case for the Evenflo Maestro booster car seat.
This affordable combination booster car seat has been one of the attempts of Evenflo to provide inexpensive and safe transportation for children. Since it is a combination car seat, it can be used as a forward-facing seat or as a booster. The straps have the capability to secure your toddler, earning its place in your shopping list.
While in harness mode, it is fairly easy to install. It also has an auto-adjustable belt path, making it uncomplicated to utilize in the booster mode. This car seat has also earned its name for having the correct proper belt placement according to https://txbuyers.com. Its size makes it suitable for cars with limited spaces.
Evenflo SecureKid DLX Booster Seat
Evenflo is undoubtedly one of the top brands of car seats in the market, which makes the Securekid DLX Booster seat belong in our top three list. This combination car seat has a 5-point harness and the capability to hold weight between 22 lbs. and 100 lbs.
For your child's safety, the car seat is equipped with E3 side impact protection which reduces 50% of any impact. The adjustable straps also ensure your child's safety without sacrificing his/her comfortability. Passing federal safety standards and FAA inversion requirements, it has been tested to protect your toddler both inside the vehicle and in an airplane.
For comfortability and convenience, the car seat, along with the headrest is fully padded with soft high-quality materials. Its latch system is easy to use and the installation process is user-friendly. It also has a SureLatch harness, SureLatch connectors and dual cup holders. Overall, this product is a great combination of comfort and safety.

The OpenPEPPOL Association was established on 1st September 2012 after successful completion of the Pan-European Public Procurement Online (PEPPOL) project which saw PEPPOL specifications being implemented in several European countries solving interoperability issues for electronic procurement .
OpenPEPPOL is a non-profit international association under Belgian law (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif – AISBL) and consists of both public sector and private members. The association has assumed full responsibility for the development and maintenance of the PEPPOL specifications, building blocks and its services and implementation across Europe.
The purpose of OpenPEPPOL is to enable European businesses to easily deal electronically with any European public sector buyers in their procurement processes, thereby increasing opportunities for greater competition for government contracts and providing better value for tax payers' money.
The Association provides an authoritative point of reference for networks of interoperable, PEPPOL-compliant infrastructure and the organisations that use it, ensuring high level governance and continuation of the agreement infrastructure. OpenPEPPOL is working towards providing its stakeholders with widely accepted technology standards and specifications, while ensuring sustainability and promoting and supporting the wider use of the PEPPOL specifications, building blocks and services.
Business to business use of the PEPPOL-compliant infrastructure and use of PEPPOL-components in other areas beyond procurement are also recognised as important and is encouraged by the Association. PEPPOL is currently being implemented in several European countries to date and interest is now increasing outside of the EU.

text: Share By: Kara FrankerNov 5, 2016Head to the Miami Seaquarium for a fun-filled day for the whole family. The Miami Seaquarium is an amusement park, museum, educational program and rescue center located right off the Rickenbacker Causeway on Virginia Key en route to Key Biscayne. Located on Virginia Key, Miami Seaquarium is an attraction like no other in the Magic City. Equal parts educational and fun, this family-friendly theme park invites marine-lovers of all ages to view dolphins, sea turtles, sea lions, manatees and mores. You can even become a dolphin trainer for a day! Swim With The Dolphins and Become a Trainer for a Day Embark on a one-on-one marine life experience by swimming with the dolphins. You can get up close and personal in either shallow or deep water. Shake hands, give training signals and even land a big ol' kiss from a dolphin for the ultimate photo op. At Dolphin Odyssey you'll have 30 minutes to kiss, rub, shake hands with, feed and even train a dolphin. Another dolphin experience, Dolphin Encounter, is a fun-filled program where dolphin lovers of all ages get to stay in shallow water and train and play with dolphins. At the Sea Trek Reef Encounter, you can walk through a 300,000-gallon tropical reef filled with tropical fish, rays and more, all while wearing a state-of-the-art dive helmet that allows you to breathe underwater. If you sign up for the Seal Swim, you'll be able to do just that: swim freely with harbor seals for 15-20 minutes. Finally, for a real treat, sign up for a 2.5-hour VIP Tour or get the chance to be a trainer for a day. During the tour, you'll get an up-close animal experience, one where you can play with iguanas or macaws, feed manatees, stingrays and sea turtles, and leave with a photo of you standing next to a sea lion or dolphin. When you participate in the Trainer for a Day experience, you'll get the hands-on chance to work alongside Miami Seaquarium trainers and learn training basics, assist with daily show set-ups, watch and critique shows, and help with other behind-the-scenes activities. Shows & Exhibits The Miami Seaquarium hosts a variety of entertaining and educational shows daily, all of which teach you about sea life and what the human population can do to make sure their habitats stay clean and protected. The Top Deck Dolphin show features bottlenose dolphins leaping through the air, rolling through the water and performing high-flying stunts. The Caribbean-themed Flipper Dolphin Show, on the other hand, invites guests to see what everyone's favorite dolphin has been up to. When you walk into Flipper's stadium, you'll even see images and nostalgia from the original Flipper TV show. At the Killer Whale and Dolphin show, you can see Pacific white-sided dolphins living, playing and jumping through the air alongside Lolita, everyone's favorite killer whale. Finally, the Golden Dome Sea Lion show is a comedic spectacle that follows the adventures of Salty the Sea Lion and his Reef Rangers as they track down a diver who failed to keep the water clean. Insider Tip: The cost for all shows at Miami Seaquarium are included with your park entrance pass. It is recommended that you allow at least four hours to see all shows and exhibits. For a complete list of show times, call (305) 361-5705. Rescue Center Over the years, the Miami Seaquarium has become more than a place for family-friendly fun and dolphins performing multi-story jumps. It's a world-class rescue center devoted to rehabilitating animals in need. It is also an Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks member and a preeminent sea turtle and manatee rescue center. Sea turtles and manatees are just two of the native South Florida animals who need professional care and rehabilitation. The Alliance ensures that facilities provide care in the best of environments for marine mammal care, husbandry, conservation and education. The Seaquarium has a proud history of marine-mammal care, such as rescuing and then releasing the smallest manatee to have ever been rescued, rehabbing manatees from deadly conditions, treating diseased sea turtles and more. If visiting the Seaquarium inspires you to get involved with the welfare of marine animals, you can contribute to the Miami Seaquarium's various programs like the Sponsor a Sirenian program, Manatee Brick Program and Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest. History of the Miami Seaquarium Built in 1955, The Miami Seaquarium is the longest running oceanarium in the United States. It took 14 years of planning to build the 38-acre park. At the grand opening, a special ceremony was performed by a representative who poured water from each of the seven seas into the dolphin tank. Since then, guests from all continents have visited the Miami Seaquarium. From the Seaquarium's beginnings, the dolphin show, a spectacle of trained Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, has been a highlight and many dolphins have been born in the park. The first dolphin to be born in the Seaquarium's facilities was Bebe, just a year after the park opened. Bebe went on to have a 40-year career as a star at the Seaquarium and she gave birth to more dolphins that continue to perform today. The 1960's were the age of Flipper at the Seaquarium. Eighty-eight television episodes and two movies starring the eponymous dolphin and Ranger Porter Rick and his two sons, Sandy and Bud, were filmed at the park. See the Flipper Lagoon and the dolphin show everyday at the Seaquarium. Other historic moments include the first birth of a manatee under the care of man in 1975. Salty the Sea Lion's arrival at the park facilitated the addition of the endangered mangrove habitat. It also started the rescue efforts by the Miami Seaquarium's qualified staff, of many animals. This marine-life attraction has grown since it first opened and currently attracts more than 500,000 visitors a year. General Visitor Information The Miami Seaquarium is open 365 days a year, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The cost of general admission is $45.99 for adults and $35.99 for children ages three to nine.

text: Hawthorn Ridge Redoubt was a German front-line fortification west of the village of Beaumont Hamel on the Somme. It was the scene of a number of costly attacks by British infantry during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. It was also the site of one of the most famous pieces of film footage of World War I when the Hawthorn Ridge mine was detonated beneath the redoubt at 7:20 am on 1 July 1916, the first day on the Somme. The Hawthorn Ridge mine was the northern-most of the ten mines dug by the Royal Engineer tunnelling companies. It was detonated on July 1, one of the three large mines, the other two being the Lochnagar mine and the Y Sap mine at La Boisselle. The mine contained about 40,000 pounds (18 t) of explosives. The plan was to detonate all other mines at 7:28 am, two minutes before Zero hour when the infantry advance would begin, but Lieutenant-General Aylmer Hunter-Weston, whose VIII Corps was holding the Hawthorn Ridge sector, favoured blowing the mine hours before the main attack, believing this would give his 29th Division time to capture and consolidate the crater. However, the Fourth Army commander, Lieutenant-General Henry Rawlinson rejected this proposal on the grounds that the Germans would probably take possession of the crater. In this stance he was supported by General Sir Douglas Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary Force. As a compromise, Hunter-Weston was allowed to blow the mine ten minutes before Zero, rather than two minutes. Once the debris subsided, two platoons of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (86th Brigade, 29th Division) were sent forward to occupy the crater. However, the German defenders succeeded in holding the eastern lip of the crater. The early detonation alerted all Germans in the vicinity that the long-expected attack was now imminent. By the time the infantry went over at 7:30 am, the German machine guns were sweeping no man's land and artillery fire was falling on the British trenches. The attack on Hawthorn Ridge redoubt, and on the entire VIII Corps front, ended in failure. By 8:30 am, the only "gain" by the 29th Division was one company clinging to the western lip of the crater but by the end of the day this too was lost. After the disaster of the first day on the Somme, British efforts were concentrated south of the Albert-Bapaume road and the Hawthorn Ridge sector was not subjected to further major attacks until the final push of the battle on 13 November with the opening of the Battle of the Ancre. For this attack another mine was laid beneath Hawthorn Ridge, this time containing 30,000 lb (13 tons) of explosives. On this occasion, superior British planning resulted in a successful assault and Hawthorn Ridge as well as Beaumont Hamel were finally captured.

SQL Indexes – what a great subject to discuss on! I just love them. It is incredible to find out each time, what a proper index can do to your database…
As far as I can think of there are 3 issues related to Indexes:
- Fragmentation
- Query Optimization
- Storage problems – I already blogged about it and if you follow the link you will see the whole story.
Inside each DBA's maintenance tasks, should be included a step which will collect fragmentation on all Production most critical databases.
You can schedule the Index part once per month, or as frequent as you consider necessary.
The SQL query is rather simple:
- Create a table with structure:
use tempdb go CREATE TABLE #indexes ( ObjectName CHAR (255), ObjectId INT, IndexName CHAR (255), IndexId INT, Lvl INT, CountPages INT, CountRows INT, MinRecSize INT, MaxRecSize INT, AvgRecSize INT, ForRecCount INT, Extents INT, ExtentSwitches INT, AvgFreeBytes INT, AvgPageDensity INT, ScanDensity DECIMAL, BestCount INT, ActualCount INT, LogicalFrag DECIMAL, ExtentFrag DECIMAL)
- Open a cursor that contains 2 parameters: schema name and table name selected from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES and execute for each:
INSERT INTO #indexes EXEC ('DBCC SHOWCONTIG ('schemaname.tablename') WITH FAST, TABLERESULTS, ALL_INDEXES, NO_INFOMSGS')
- The execution output will be stored in a table with same structure as the output's columns, used for future analysis.
I only focus on Indexes that have a fragmentation higher than 5% and have more than 10000 pages. In theory, there is no point in rebuilding an index that occupies less than 24 pages. In practice, it's generally recommended not to do anything for indexes with less than 10000 pages.
Next step:
delete from #indexes where LogicalFrag <= 5 or CountPages <= 10000
The list resulted can be split in two action strategies:
- Reorganize Indexes that have a fragmentation rate > 5% and < 30%
- Rebuild Indexes that have a fragmentation rate > 30%

Managing SQL Server Database Fragmentation
How to check Fragmentation on SQL Server 2005
I have been asked so many times, questions like: "Why this procedure is running so slowly?" or "why so many blockages?", "I have a new script and it takes ages until it is completed!" and I can go on. Almost every time, in a bigger or a smaller part - a lack or surplus of one/many indexes is involved.
Indexes in surplus - causes SQL to do as many index updates as many indexes are there on a table that include the same column which is modified in a single statement.
I saw many cases with tables having tens of indexes. Some of them were doubled and some of them were created just following SQL hints from SQL Query Optimizer. There is more damage than good, when you follow literary SQL's hints. First of all, multiple updates on those many indexes which slow down the query, secondarily index disk usage which can get substantial.
To understand which indexes are really unused and should be dropped at next maintenance window, SQL Server must not be restarted for some time (1 month - 6 months), considering that it will have exhausted all possible recurrent user queries, recurrent stored procedures, application transactions that run on it. This is because SQL will hold the statistics until next reboot. In order to have valuable statistics the SQL should have run for an enough period of time.
- Look at existing Indexes in your database:
The script will avoid Primary Keys, Unique keys and already Disabled indexes.
use your_database go select i.name index_name, o.name [object_name], i.type_desc, o.type_desc , i.is_disabled, i.is_unique from sys.indexes i inner join sys.objects o on i.[object_id] = o.[object_id] where o.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE' and i.name is not null and i.is_primary_key = 0 and i.is_disabled = 0 and i.is_unique = 0 order by o.name
- Check how many seeks/scans are done on above extracted indexes. You can filter the query by specifying one or more object names and index names. This select will display also each table's row count.
Example 1: you see a number of 1867777 scans on a 2000000 rows table and close to 0 seeks. Big problem. It means the index is not well designed. It is used but not as it should be.
Example 2: you see a number close to 0 both for seeks and scans columns. Why? The index has never been used since SQL was restarted.
In conclusion, seeks column should filled with numbers. If both seeks and scans have numbers, the indexes should be left there. user lookups are used mostly by primary keys or clustered indexes, so it is unlikely you will something there.
use your_database go IF (object_id('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT Null) DROP TABLE #temp CREATE TABLE #temp ( table_name sysname , row_count INT, reserved_size VARCHAR(50), data_size VARCHAR(50), index_size VARCHAR(50), unused_size VARCHAR(50)) SET NOCOUNT ON INSERT #temp EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'sp_spaceused ''?''' SELECT OBJECT_NAME(S.[OBJECT_ID]) AS [OBJECT NAME],S.[OBJECT_ID], I.[NAME] AS [INDEX NAME], USER_SEEKS, USER_SCANS, USER_LOOKUPS, USER_UPDATES, t1.row_count FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_USAGE_STATS AS S INNER JOIN SYS.INDEXES AS I ON I.[OBJECT_ID] = S.[OBJECT_ID] AND I.INDEX_ID = S.INDEX_ID inner join #temp t1 on S.object_id = object_id (t1.table_name) WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(S.[OBJECT_ID],'IsUserTable') = 1 and is_disabled = 0 and is_unique = 0 and i.name is not null -- and user_seeks =0 and OBJECT_NAME(s.[OBJECT_ID]) in ('object1') and I.[name] IN ('index1', 'index2','index3') order by OBJECT_NAME(s.[OBJECT_ID]) ,i.name
- Check leaf updates, inserts and deletes on indexes identified in previous step with zero scans/seeks.
This is the ultimate proof that an index which is not used in optimization, is used to be updated at insert/update/delete operations --> bad performance.
use your_database go SELECT OBJECT_NAME(A.[OBJECT_ID]) AS [OBJECT NAME], I.[NAME] AS [INDEX NAME], A.LEAF_INSERT_COUNT, A.LEAF_UPDATE_COUNT, A.LEAF_DELETE_COUNT FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_OPERATIONAL_STATS (NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL ) A INNER JOIN SYS.INDEXES AS I ON I.[OBJECT_ID] = A.[OBJECT_ID] AND I.INDEX_ID = A.INDEX_ID WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(A.[OBJECT_ID],'IsUserTable') = 1 and OBJECT_NAME(A.[OBJECT_ID]) in ('object1') order by I.[NAME]
- At last, identify Indexes that don't do any harm, but overcrowd the Indexes list and use space, these are indexes completely useless and should be dropped.
DECLARE @dbid INT SELECT @dbid = DB_ID(DB_NAME()) SELECT OBJECTNAME = OBJECT_NAME(I.OBJECT_ID), INDEXNAME = I.NAME, I.INDEX_ID, i.object_id FROM SYS.INDEXES I JOIN SYS.OBJECTS O ON I.OBJECT_ID = O.OBJECT_ID WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(O.OBJECT_ID,'IsUserTable') = 1 AND I.INDEX_ID NOT IN ( SELECT S.INDEX_ID FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_USAGE_STATS S WHERE S.OBJECT_ID = I.OBJECT_ID AND I.INDEX_ID = S.INDEX_ID AND DATABASE_ID = @dbid) and I.NAME is not null and is_unique =0 and is_disabled = 0 ORDER BY OBJECTNAME, I.INDEX_ID, INDEXNAME ASC GO

14 June, 2013Already 50 global brands and retailers have signed the historic Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, launching a major project to make the country's garment industry safe and sustainable. However, IndustriALL's campaign to improve labour rights and minimum wages continues.
The process leading to the legally binding Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh was not easy. Still in March, as the world's ten leading clothing brands and retailers accepted the invitation of IndustriALL Global Union to come and discuss in Geneva, there was an amazing level of complacency among them. I saw no sense of urgency, despite the deadly factory fires and building collapses in the past.
Then the Rana Plaza building came down on 24 April. Again, the first days of rescue work and death toll reports produced no change. Only after the tragic magnitude and circumstances around this industrial homicide attracted an unprecedented global public and media reaction, clothing brands and retailers started to feel the heat.
It was then, in the early days of May, when IndustriALL Global Union and our sister international UNI Global Union told the clothing brands that we would not accept anything but a legally binding agreement for producing a lasting change. After hectic negotiations, hope and despair, intrigues and watering down attempts, Sweden's H&M and Spain's Inditex opened the way and announced on 13 May that they would sign. All the others followed.
Well, not all. We knew that US retail giant Walmart was never going to sign anything with unions. With another US company GAP we tried hard, but the management finally said they could not accept paying for the necessary safety upgrades.
The good news is that with 50 companies on board and more joining every day, we now have the critical mass for producing a real change on the ground during the years to come. A joint union-company team is putting together an Implementation Plan by 8 July. Then inspections and trainings of management and workers will start.
One of our major challenges is to convince the Bangladeshi garment owners that the days of contempt for human life are over. We are just working on a case where an inspection team of brands found a factory with an imminent danger of collapse. Shockingly, the owner refused to evacuate the workers, claiming the building was safe. The brands immediately terminated their business relationship with the factory.
We will face difficult decisions when going through Bangladesh's 5,000 garment factories which employ four million workers. But IndustriALL wants the brands and retailers to stay in the country and provide safe and good quality jobs.
However, the Bangladeshi garment industries will only become sustainable when the workers have the right to freely set up unions, earn a living wage and work without fear of getting killed.
We are now pushing for a labour law reform to guarantee freedom of association. The Bangladesh unions have rejected the government's proposal as inadequate. IndustriALL will work with the ITUC and the ILO to continue to put pressure on the political decision-makers.
Also the minimum wage needs to be raised from 38 USD per month step by step to reach a living wage by 2015. The consumer reaction has been clear. They are prepared to pay the few extra cents per t-shirt required to get rid of what Pope Francis called "slave labour".

officials are bracing for a strike by longshore workers starting Nov. 25 that would tie up millions of dollars worth of freight at three terminals.
Representatives of the Port and the
say the strike could still be averted. But Port officials believe cargo ships may begin bypassing Portland because of the uncertainty created by the failure of last-ditch contract talks Friday.
Separately, owners of Northwest terminals handling a quarter of the nation's
said Friday they'd presented a final offer to the longshore union. Failure of those talks could lead to a strike or lockout at six grain terminals in Portland, Vancouver and the Puget Sound.
The simultaneous actions are the most extreme developments in months of labor turmoil at the Port, where yet another dispute involving the same union led ships to bypass Portland last summer, clogging cargo and slowing Oregon's economy. Closure of the three Port terminals, let alone a crisis at the grain elevators, would wreak far greater economic havoc and could cause container shipping lines to pull out for good.
Only 25 security officers in union
work at the Port of Portland terminals that are headed for a strike. But their affiliation with the powerful West Coast longshore union magnifies the potential effects, as fellow members who handle cargo reserve the right not to cross the officers' picket lines.
"We are scheduled to strike in nine days and have no more meetings scheduled at this time," said Local 28 steward David Vale, in an email Friday.
The strike plan sets the stage for a sort of perfect storm of labor disruptions on Portland's waterfront.
Coincidental breakdown of the security-officer talks and the grain negotiations could close a total of seven Portland-area terminals, although the grain-elevator owners plan to hire substitute workers -- or scabs, in union parlance. In addition, last summer's separate container-terminal dispute is boiling over in the courtroom, as a federal judge ponders whether to find the union in contempt and stop it from allegedly coercing shipping lines.
Port of Portland managers won't say whether they would bring in workers to replace striking security guards and their fellow longshore union members at terminals
. But Port officials are about to contact shipping lines with vessels heading toward Portland and warn them of the problems.
"We'll explain the current situation and where we are in the negotiations and what the issue is about," said Dan Pippenger, Port general manager of marine operations. "Ultimately those are the shipping lines' decisions. We certainly don't tell them which way to go."
Given the high stakes, both sides will face pressure from political leaders and others to return to the bargaining table. But for now,
won't try to intervene, said a spokesman, Tim Raphael.
"He has not ruled out intervening," Raphael said, "but he has confidence in the Port to come to agreement with the union."
Blaise Lamphier, Port labor relations manager, said negotiators for the Port and the security officers agreed Friday on 41 of 44 outstanding contract issues. But after 17 months of talks, they remain at loggerheads on the toughest issue: a job guarantee sought by members of Local 28, who want the same protection they say the Port has already included in the lease agreement with
, the company that operates Terminal 6.
"We don't want to repeat that same mistake," Pippenger said. "It's the crux of the issue at T-6 with the ILWU and the IBEW," he said, referring to the dispute between the longshore union and the
that is mired in federal litigation.
In that case, the longshore union claims the equivalent of two jobs held by electricians who plug, unplug and monitor refrigerated containers known as reefers. The Port reserved that work decades ago for the electricians, Pippenger said, and officials aren't about to lock into other job guarantees that could constrict future operations.
Longshore union leaders maintain their West Coast labor contract trumps the lease agreement, giving their members the container work. But the
ruled against them. NLRB lawyers aim to block claims surpassing $700,000 that the union is filing against shipping lines for lost wages each time electricians service the reefers.
Meanwhile concerning the grain talks, a spokesman for the terminal owners said that their organization, the
, presented its "last, best and final offer" Friday.
"Despite the work of the federal mediators, discussions on key issues have failed to produce an agreement," spokesman Pat McCormick said in an emailed statement.
Those talks began in August and continued past Sept. 30, when the contract expired. Federal mediation began Oct. 29. Terminal operators want the union to make concessions similar to those longshoremen made this year in a contract with a competing company in Longview, Wash., after
, a coast committeeman for the San Francisco-based longshore union, said Friday in an emailed statement that negotiators would show the grain industry proposal to union members before commenting on it.
"In light of a low-yielding harvest and corresponding high bushel prices," Sundet wrote, "the profitable multinational grain merchants are using the circumstances to undermine a mature 80-year contract with longshoremen that's made the Northwest one of the most productive grain export regions in the world."
