Chapter 31 - Li Huai
What abundant wealth!
Chen Xi picked up the inconspicuous storage ring and briefly searched through it, and he couldn't help but inwardly exclaim in surprise.
This storage ring only had a space of an area of 33m and was obviously not of high grade. However, it contained a pile of 3,000 spirit crystals that contained dense spirit energy, and it was exchangeable for an entire 300,000 spirit stones!
"This stupid cow actually stored so many spirit crystals. Perhaps it's for the sake of breaking through to the Violet Palace Realm in the future? Unfortunately, it's instead benefitted me." Chen Xi was extremely excited in his heart. Perhaps 3,000 spirit crystals were nothing to some of the great clans and institution in Pine Mist City, but to Chen Xi who was poverty stricken since young, this sum of spirit crystals was an absolutely astronomical figure. With these spirit crystal in his possession, he was completely capable of buying numerous magic treasures, spirit pills, martial skills, and even pay for all his expenses. He didn't need to laboriously rush about to bring home the bacon.
However, Chen Xi still didn't intend to leave his work as a spirit chef apprentice, because he'd promised the owner of Clear Stream Restaurant, Du Qingxi, long ago that within these three years, so long as he didn't leave Pine Mist City, he would absolutely not quit his job.
A man is nothing without his word!
To cultivators, destroying one's own promise for the sake of the small gain before one's eyes was no different from destroying one's Dao Heart.
Chen Xi still remembered that when he was four, the Su Clan who had a daughter betrothed to him since before he was born had sent more than 10 Golden Hall Realm experts to stand atop the sky as they tore his marriage contract to shreds before the eyes of everyone within Pine Mist City, then flew off after going back on their promise. Whereas his grandfather suffered endless mocking and ridicule. That humiliation and shame that was impossible to forget caused his young heart to suffer great harm and he was unable to forget it for his entire life.
And it was because of this that he cared and valued promises much more than others.
"Eh! What's this?" Chen Xi's thoughtlessly glanced at a corner of the storage ring, and he suddenly noticed a strange thing that was palm-sized. When he picked it up to take a look, he noticed that this was a black colored jade token that was the shape of a key, and three ancient words were written atop it — Nether Enlightenment Token.
Chen Xi could only give up after trying various methods and didn't noticed any peculiarity about this Nether Enlightenment Token, then he hid the storage ring in his pocket before looking at the color of the sky for time. He didn't dare stay here any longer, and he turned and left.
After 15 minutes.
Chen Xi had finally walked out of the Southern Barbaric Forbidden Area and returned to the dense forest.
Ji Yu who was dozing on the rattan chair slowly opened his eyes, his gaze swept Chen Xi and seemed to have already seen through all the secrets on Chen Xi, and he lightly laughed. "Your gains aren't bad."
Chen Xi thought about the various encounters of tonight, and he deeply agreed. "Only through a true life and death battle did I realize that I actually had so many inadequacies. If it wasn't for my good luck of encountering a stupid Violet Rhino greater demon, I'm afraid I would have been in danger tonight."
Ji Yu lightly smiled then picked up the azure skinned bottle gourd and drank too mouthfuls of the strong wine before smacking his lips. "This is the benefit of actual combat. It's able to allow you to clearly recognize your own inadequacies. Let's go. The sky is about to get light and we have to return."
As he spoke, Ji Yu casually waved his hand, and at the next moment, the two of them vanished on the spot, only leaving a strand of faint wine fragrance in the air.
Li Clan Main Hall.
Numerous elders that stayed in closed doors had gathered together here today.
"Manager Wu, 30 of our Li Clan's elite guards with cultivations at the initial-stage of the Congenital Realm all died at the hand of trash that only knows how to craft talismans? Truly absurd!"
The one who spoke was a black bearded old man. Although he had an aged face, his skin was like jade and had a pair of clear eyes. His body emitted a dignified aura that was frosty and stern. He was Grand Elder, Li Fengtu, who had the most profound cultivation in the Li Clan.
Manager Wu knelt down with a 'thump,' and his emaciated face sweated profusely as he ceaselessly repeated with a trembling voice. "This old servant is useless, this old servant is useless…"
"One month ago, because the General's Estate's Luo Chong and the Pine Mist Institute's Meng Kong butted in, Li Han and his brothers died tragically in the Commoners District, and Chen Tianli's young grandson, Chen Hao, was about to leave Pine Mist City. I can forgive all of this."
"But, I'll absolutely not let today's matter go. For the sake of obtaining the Nether Enlightenment Token in the possession of Old Freak Violet Rhino, my Li Clan has spent too much! I can't bear such a failure, and the entire Li Clan can't bear it!"
Grand Elder Li Fengtu's voice was low, frosty, and stern; it contained boundless rage within. The atmosphere in the main hall became even more silent and oppressive, and no one dared make a single sound.
"It's all my fault, I've always neglected monitoring Chen Xi…" Li Yizhen felt as if sitting on a bed of nails, his forehead dripped with sweat and his expression was guilty and uneasy. He was without even a shred of a patriarch's dignified manner.
"Hmph." The Grand Elder snorted coldly, and his expression eased up quite a bit. "The blame for this matter isn't on you. For the sake of our current plans, we must seize the Nether Enlightenment Token as soon as possible, before the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trials that's three months from now. Otherwise, once this matter is known by the Dragon Lake City's Su Clan…"
Dragon Lake City's Su Clan!
Even though it was just a mere five words, but it was like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed onto Li Yizhen's heart, and his expression abruptly went unsightly, then he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Don't worry Grand Elder, I'll reclaim the Nether Enlightenment Token even if I have to use all the strength of the Li Clan!"
Right at this moment, the tightly closed door of the main hall was opened. All the elders present were enraged in their hearts. Who was so audacious as to dare enter arbitrarily?
An enormous black silhouette crashed onto the ground, it was shockingly the corpse of the Violet Rhino that Chen Xi had killed.
"Old Freak Violet Rhino has been killed, that Nether Enlightenment Token ought to have fallen into Chen Xi's possession."
A tall figure accompanied by an icy cold voice that was indifferent, slowly walked in. He had sword shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with hair that touched the shoulder, and he emitted a shocking killing intent as he walked with even steps.
Eldest Young Master!
He… When did he emerge from closed door cultivation in the Ancestral House?
The heart of Manager Wu that knelt on the floor couldn't help but go cold, and was even more afraid of raising his head as he knelt there.
This person was precisely the person reputed to be the Li Clan's genius figure that was rarely seen in a thousand years — Li Huai!
He started cultivating at the age of three, then advanced to the Congenital Realm at the age of nine, and attained the perfection-stage of the Congenital Realm at the age of 13. After that, he went into closed door cultivation in the Ancestral House for four years. At this moment, since he'd emerged from his closed door cultivation, he'd surely had already established his Dao Foundation in one go to step into the Violet Palace Realm!
The rage in the hearts of the people present instantly vanished when they saw the person was Li Huai, and the elders all revealed slight smiles. In their hearts, Li Huai who was like a favored genius of the gods had already possessed the qualification to participate in the clan's discussions in the main hall.
"Father." Li Huai lightly nodded to Li Yizhen, then he sat down at the side, seeming completely indifferent.
A burst of gratification and pride arose within Li Yizhen's heart. With such a son, the Li Clan's glorious future was not far off from being realized!
"Old Freak Violet Rhino was killed by that Chen Clan trash as well? Looks like this kid has grown!" Li Fengtu glanced at the corpse on the ground and his voice revealed a trace of astonishment.
Manager Wu who knelt on the ground said hurriedly, "Grand Elder really has eyes filled with wisdom. According to this old servant's observation, not only has the qi refinement cultivation of that kid attained an extremely high level, but he's also cultivated a profound body refinement technique that has already advanced to the Congenital Realm. If he isn't killed as soon as possible, this kid will surely become a great calamity to our Li Clan."
Congenital Realm in body refinement?
As soon as this was spoken, everyone present revealed a trace of astonishment. Among cultivators of the same cultivation, the school of body refinement crushed all the cultivators of the school of qi refinement, whereas within Pine Mist City, although it was rare to see body refiners advancing to the Congenital Realm, their might was something no one dared look down upon.
"I'll go kill him right now!" Li Huai who sat there without moving suddenly spoke out, and heavy killing intent was contained between his handsome brows, seeming to be extremely repulsed and disgusted by Chen Xi's growth.
Li Huai's reaction seemed to have been within the expectations of everyone since a long time ago, and Li Yizhen hurriedly said when he heard this, "Huai, calm down. Chen Xi's marriage contract with the Dragon Lake City's Su Clan has already been destroyed. No matter how he improves, it would still be absolutely impossible for him to marry Miss Su Jiao."
"Father, the Su Clan had once promised us that the Su Clan's Patriarch would agree to marry Su Jiao to me on the condition that Chen Xi's cultivation is crippled and we pay the price of humiliating Chen Xi to death. Now that this kid has grown successfully, if we still don't take any action, I'm afraid it will be too late." Li Huai who had an icy cold and indifferent disposition seemed to have become a normal person when he spoke about this marriage that hadn't been concluded.
"Huai is right, now that we can already be sure that the Nether Enlightenment Token has fallen into Chen Xi's possession, since it's like this, we should take action as soon as possible."
Grand Elder Li Fengtu pondered slightly then slowly said, "Manager Wu, where does this kid live now?"
"Clear Stream Restaurant."
Manager Wu hurriedly replied, "Since the assassination failed last month, that kid seemed to have noticed it was not safe and has stayed in the Clear Stream Restaurant ever since."
"Clear Stream Restaurant? Hmph! It's only a lousy restaurant that has good relations with the General's Estate. Yizhen, arrange for some people to capture that kid and bring him back here tonight. Kill anyone that dares obstruct you!"
Li Fengtu coldly snorted, then slowly said, "I want to let everyone within Pine Mist City know that death is the only end for someone who offends my Li Clan."
"Don't worry Grand Elder, I guarantee to complete this mission!" Li Yizhen respectfully accepted the orders.
"Du Qingxi isn't so easily bullied." Right at this moment, a voice that was pleasing to the ear the chime of a bell which was accompanied by a delicate fragrance floated in from outside the main hall, seeming to give one an image of a delicate and graceful woman, and this caused the expression of everyone within the entire main hall to go grim.
Although the expression of the Grand Elder, Li Fengtu, didn't change, but shock had arisen within his heart. Who? There was actually someone who was able to conceal themselves while eavesdropping from outside the main hall under my nose? What sort of level has this person's cultivation attained?

We are massively proud to announce that Radtac has received the award of the Most Innovative Business Transformation Consultancy UK 2019!
Latest information from Radtac
Great news is worth sharing quick, which is why we're very excited to tell you what we've been working on lately: we're opening a new Radtac location in Finland! The Finland hub is joining our global network, enabling us to further support our Nordics and European customers. Please join us in saying Hei Suomi! [Hi Finland!]
At Radtac, everything we do revolves around our passion to help organisations become more responsive, and we do this through enabling them to adopt, embed and evolve Agile ways of working.
Over the years, we have worked with you, our customers, to support you on your Agile journeys. We've been all over the world with you - from Silicon Valley, to New York, Zürich, Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Kigali, Dubai, Delhi, Beijing, Singapore - you name it. And while we love travelling, having local hubs close to our customers enables us to support you even better. This is why we're so excited about the latest Radtac hub in Finland.
Expanding our British roots into the US: Radtac launches office in the US
'Radtac' - if there's an American way to say it, then please imagine it now. Why? Well, you might need it.
Because we've always loved our American cousins, we've decided there's no better way of showing that, than by effectively marching in there. Ok, what we actually mean is by expanding across the pond.
You've read that right. As of now (well, actually a little while ago, but we've been busy debating 'color' and 'colour', 'organisation' and 'organization'), British roots have extended to the United States of America.
At the moment, you can find us in the tech hotbed that is Silicon Valley, California, with our office located near San Francisco. Come say Hello if you're around - we'll treat you to some tea!
Last year, prior to Toni and I joining Radtac, our colleague and Head of Training Alex Gray wrote a blog about "How to Prioritise Using Mince Pies", which you can view here before reading on. So, inspired by the previous year, we went on to maintain this new-found tradition while also learning more about prioritisation ourselves.
Now don't get me wrong, the M&S Star Mince pies were good but they were not quite what we had hoped for from Marks & Spencer. Which is why they ended up getting what would turn out to be an only slightly below average score, especially let down by the pastry and price. However, this gave us a benchmark for the rest of the pies to live up to, or hopefully exceed.
Have you ever wondered what a Leading SAFe Training Course would be like? In this blog post that's exactly what you'll be able to read.
First of all, what is SAFe®?
The Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) helps businesses address the significant challenges of developing and delivering enterprise-class software and systems in the shortest sustainable lead time. It is an online, freely revealed knowledge base of proven success patterns for implementing Lean-Agile software and systems at enterprise scale.
You may have already read our recent blogs announcing that Professional Scrum Master and Implementing SAFe 4.0 with SPC certification courses are now available within our training portfolio. Our training portfolio is set to be enhanced further - we have joined the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) as a Member Training Organisation (MTO).
ICAgile is a leading global Agile accreditation and certification body that helps organisations design learning experiences that cultivate an Agile mindset and enable sustainable organisational agility. They collaborate with worldwide Agile and industry experts to design world-class learning tracks that guide organisations in the development of their curriculum. ICAgile's approach is not tied to any specific Agile methodology, thus giving people the flexibility to blend flavors in a way that make sense for their reality.
The ICAgile learning roadmap provides clear paths for professionals and organisations who want to start or continue their Agile journey. The learning roadmap is made up of the following certifications.
Just in case you missed any of them, or would like to refresh your learnings reading them again, here are our top six blog posts of 2016 from the Radtac Blog.
1. Organisational Culture and Agile Frameworks: How to Create an Alignment
Can you map a certain type of organisational culture against an Agile framework? Is a certain Agile approach better suited to a certain culture? How can various culture types affect the success of your chosen Agile approach?
To keep pace with an ever-changing business environment and with increasing business challenges, organisations are faced with the need to transform. However, the transformation itself isn't enough - it has to be successful, effective, and ensure growth and competitivity. How can this be achieved?
Peter Measey, CEO of Radtac and Agile expert, builds on his 20+ years of experience with Agile, in order to provide you with a deeper understanding of Agile business transformation - what it is, why you need it, and what difference it is going to make. The learnings are captured in a series of white papers on Agile Business Transformation, with the first one looking at the 'why' in Agile Business Transformation.
The below is an extract from the Why 'Agile' Business Transformation white paper.
As 2016 is almost over, we want to take a moment and look back at the Agile Awards 2016, where, with great honour, we have received the 'Agile Consultancy of the Year (Enterprise)' award.
The Agile Awards ceremony is a 'celebration of global Agile talent and achievement', recognising the merits of individuals, teams, and organisations who have had outstanding results with Agile. We've been extremely honoured to receive the award, and would like to thank Barclays for giving us the opportunity to work together on their Agile transformation. Thanks to a great collaboration, we are now both in a place where our achievements together have stood out among a notable competition.
We'd like to congratulate all winners and participants of the 2016 Agile Awards: thank you for all your contribution to the Agile community, and for helping keep up great professional standards!
This year's awards ceremony marks the third consecutive time Radtac has been awarded in the last three years, directly or in collaboration with our clients, which makes us turn around to you and thank you. Thank you for choosing us and thank you for achieving excellent results together.
Before ending this year and moving towards the new, exciting challenges that we hope 2017 will bring, we'd like to take a look back at an important 2016 milestone for us: our website redesign.
Why is it an important milestone? Well, firstly, because we wanted to make our website more friendly for you. We wanted you to find quicker what you're looking for, to browse through the content more easily, and to have a pleasant experience when using our website.
Second, as with any Agile approach where you inspect and adapt your work, we wanted to make sure our website reflects our beliefs, our brand and our identity. This is why we have turned to Brand it Guru (BiG), a creative, London-based agency of 'Gurus' that we have worked with in the past. The team at BiG have known us for a while now, and were ideally placed to help us communicate our message in the best possible visual way.

Then came a new time, and Ta-aroa broke out of the egg. Being so by himself, he made the god, Tu. Tu became Ta-aroa's great companion and helper in the wonderful work of creation.

WESTPORT SCHOOL COMMITTEE v. Anthony COELHO & others.1
On June 18, 1993, the Governor signed into law the Education Reform Act of 1993, St.1993, c. 71 (Act). Among other things, the Act substantially rewrote G.L. c. 71, § 42, and established an exclusive arbitration procedure under the auspices of the Commissioner of Education (commissioner) for those teachers terminated for "just cause." G.L. c. 71, § 42, as amended by St.1993, c. 71, § 44.2
The defendants, Marcel Marchand and Anthony Coelho (teachers), requested that the commissioner commence arbitration proceedings pursuant to G.L. c. 71, § 42, as amended by St.1993, c. 71, § 44, concerning their August, 1993, layoffs by the Westport school superintendent.
On October 3, 1994, the Westport school committee (committee) filed a complaint in the Superior Court against the teachers and the commissioner seeking a declaration that the teachers could not proceed with the requested arbitration hearing under the Act because they had previously requested arbitration under the collective bargaining agreement (agreement), the arbitration hearing had been held, and the arbitrator had ruled in favor of the committee. The committee also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order requesting that the commissioner be restrained from proceeding with arbitration under the Act. A Superior Court judge allowed the restraining order and subsequent orders have kept the stay in effect.
The parties filed a joint motion along with a statement of agreed material facts, requesting that a Superior Court judge report the case to this court for determination. G.L. c. 231, § 111, third par. Mass.R.Civ.P. 64, 365 Mass. 831-832 (1974) ("The court, upon request of the parties, in any case where the parties agree in writing as to all the material facts, may report the case to the Appeals Court for determination without making any decision thereon"). A Superior Court judge allowed the motion.
We summarize the facts from the parties' statement of agreed material facts. The teachers were tenured teachers 3 in the Westport school system. On June 8, 1993, both teachers received written notices from the committee that their teaching positions had been eliminated for the 1993-1994 school year as a result of budgetary reductions and a realignment of curriculum programs. On June 22, 1993, the committee voted to eliminate the teachers' positions and to terminate their employment.
Later, it was brought to the committee's attention that prior to its June 22, 1993, vote, the Governor had signed the Act and that the new statute, among other things, "shifted primary responsibility for hiring, disciplining, and terminating teachers and administrative personnel from the local school committees to school principals, subject to the supervision and direction of the local school superintendents." Higher Educ. Coordinating Council v. Massachusetts Teachers' Assn., 423 Mass. 23, 29 n. 6, 666 N.E.2d 479 (1996). After reviewing the Act, the committee decided that in regard to the teachers, the layoff process should be started again. Therefore, on August 16, 1993, the superintendent of schools sent the teachers new layoff notices. The notices stated that the reason for the layoffs was because "[t]here has been a reorganization of our High School curriculum offerings as a result of budgetary reasons and declining enrollment."
The teachers were members of the Westport Federation of Teachers, Local 1906 (union) at the time of their layoffs. Prior to the layoffs, the committee and the union had entered into a collective bargaining agreement (agreement) which remained in effect at all times relevant to this action. The agreement contained grievance and arbitration procedures which allowed teachers in the Westport system to seek final and binding arbitration in regard to the propriety of layoffs.
The union filed a grievance under the agreement, challenging the layoffs. The teachers' grievances were denied by the committee, and on August 27, 1993, the union, under the provisions of the agreement, filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The demand stated that the nature of the dispute was that the committee had "dismissed and/or laid off [the teachers] in violation of the parties' collective bargaining agreement."
The AAA responded to the union's demand for arbitration; an arbitrator was agreed upon by the parties and a hearing was held regarding the validity of the layoffs of the teachers. Noting that the teachers' "layoffs were occasioned by a $250,000 reduction made by the Annual Town Meeting in the School Department budget for the 1993-1994 school year," the arbitrator specifically found that "limited funding was the justification for the curriculum revisions which resulted in the elimination of the positions." Because both curriculum revisions and limited funding constituted grounds for layoffs under the agreement, the arbitrator ruled that the committee had not violated the agreement. Neither side appealed the arbitrator's decision.4
After the arbitrator's decision, the teachers retained their own attorney, and requested that the commissioner commence arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Act. G.L. c. 71, § 42, as amended by St.1993, c. 71, § 44. In response to the teachers' request, the commissioner sent a list of three arbitrators to the committee and the teachers; the teachers and the committee selected arbitrators for each teacher's appeal and those arbitrators set hearing dates. Thereafter, the committee filed its complaint in this action.
The teachers raise alternate grounds to challenge the committee's claim that they are not entitled to another arbitration hearing. They argue that the arbitration procedures in the Act are unconstitutional because the procedures deny them due process and also violate art. 15 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights (right to jury trial). Alternatively, they contend that if we hold that the arbitration procedures are constitutional, they are entitled to another arbitration hearing. The commissioner, however, argues, among other things, that the arbitration procedures for teacher dismissals set forth in the Act do not apply to the teachers because they were laid off as a result of budgetary constraints rather than dismissed for performance-based reasons. The commissioner also asserts that the Act has a transitional section, not codified in the General Laws, that states that the provisions of § 42 do not apply to employees subject to collective bargaining agreements executed, as the agreement was here, prior to the effective date of the Act.5 See St.1993, c. 71, § 77.
Upon reviewing the Act in light of the record before us, we think that it is not necessary for us to resolve the constitutional questions raised by the teachers because we agree with the commissioner that the arbitration procedures in the Act are not applicable to the teachers' dismissal.
It is clear from the statement of agreed material facts (and from the arbitrator's decision) that the teachers were laid off for budgetary reasons caused by declining enrollment.6 The Act, in regard to rights and procedures for dismissed teachers, makes a clear distinction between performance-based dismissals and budget-induced layoffs. It states that a teacher who has attained professional teacher status cannot be dismissed "except for inefficiency, incompetency, incapacity, conduct unbecoming a teacher, insubordination or failure on the part of the teacher to satisfy teacher performance standards developed pursuant to [G.L. c. 71, § 38] ․ or other just cause." G.L. c. 71, § 42, third par., as amended. The statute then outlines an extensive and exclusive arbitration procedure for those types of performance-based dismissals, including stating that such arbitration is held under the auspices of the commissioner. See G.L. c. 71, § 42, fourth par., as amended.
However, in regard to budget-induced layoffs, the Act states that § 42, as amended, "shall [not] affect the right of a superintendent to lay off teachers pursuant to reductions in force or reorganization resulting from declining enrollment or other budgetary reasons." G.L. c. 71, § 42, seventh par., as amended by St.1993, § 71, § 44.7 This sentence not only distinguishes "layoffs" from "dismissals" but also precludes the application of any provision of § 42 that would "affect the right of a superintendent to lay off teachers" for the specified reasons. Because the arbitrator could void the superintendent's action, the application of the statute's arbitration provisions would "affect the right of a superintendent to lay off teachers," and the arbitration procedures in the Act do not extend to such economic layoffs.8
An additional reason for holding that the Act does not apply to the layoffs in issue here is that the agreement between the parties set out detailed procedures in regard to arbitration and the agreement was executed prior to the enactment of the Act.
In response to the report, we rule that the Act, in particular G.L. c. 71, § 44, does not apply to the teachers' layoffs. Therefore, the teachers are not entitled to an arbitration hearing in regard to their August, 1993, layoffs by the superintendent. A declaration consistent with this opinion is to be entered in the Superior Court.
So ordered.
2. The Act contained an emergency preamble, making it effective as of June 18, 1993.
3. General Laws c. 71, § 41, as amended by St.1993, c. 71, § 43, replaced the statutory concept of "tenure" with that of "professional teacher status." Here, the teachers had served in the school district for more than three years. Therefore, they had attained professional teacher status.
4. The parties stipulated that one of the issues to be arbitrated was whether, in light of the arbitration procedures contained in the Act, the teachers' grievances should be arbitrated under the grievance and arbitration procedures contained in the agreement or whether there must be arbitration under the auspices of the commissioner. The union took the position that the procedures contained in the agreement controlled because the Act's procedure only applied to situations involving termination for "just cause." The arbitrator agreed with the union.
5. The commissioner also argues that the teachers are judicially estopped from contending that G.L. c. 71, § 42, as amended, applies to them where they successfully argued before the arbitrator, under the agreement, that the statute did not apply to them. Because we hold that the statute does not apply to the teachers, we do not address this portion of the commissioner's argument.
6. In the statement of agreed material facts, the parties repeatedly and without qualification refer to the job actions at issue as "layoffs."
7. The Act did not change the decisional law in regard to layoffs under the version of G.L. c. 71, § 42, in effect prior to St.1993, c. 71, § 44.The prior version of § 42 established (1) specific standards and (2) the general right to notice and a school committee hearing for dismissals, but then specified that § 42 "shall [not] affect the right of a committee to dismiss a teacher whenever an actual decrease in the number of pupils in the schools of the town renders such action advisable." G.L. c. 71, § 42, as amended through St.1988, c. 153, §§ 4-6.In 1980, the Supreme Judicial Court held that, given the quoted language, the statute's notice and hearing requirements did not apply to work force reductions occasioned by a decline in student enrollment. Milne v. School Comm. of Manchester, 381 Mass. 581, 582, 410 N.E.2d 1216 (1980).In 1982, the court extended its ruling to exempt all budget-induced layoffs from § 42's notice and hearing requirements. Boston Teachers Union, Local 66 v. School Comm. of Boston, 386 Mass. 197, 215-216, 434 N.E.2d 1258 (1982).
8. There is dictum in Turner v. School Comm. of Dedham, 41 Mass.App.Ct. 354, 356 n. 3, 670 N.E.2d 202 (1996), suggesting that the Act's arbitration procedure is an available remedy for all teacher terminations, including economic layoffs. In that matter, we did not have the commissioner's arguments before us. Therefore, upon further consideration, we reject the language contained in the dictum.
SMITH, Justice.

About Her
Grew up… in Austin, Texas, without a father. Shane's drug-addicted mother passed her off to foster care when she was young, and Shane eventually dropped out of high school. She worked on the streets as a prostitute to make ends meet.
Living… in the Greater Los Angeles area of West Hollywood. Shane lives in a tiny one bedroom apartment with three other women. She can't afford much else with her wages.
Profession... hairdresser at the Lather salon. When a richer client picked her up off the streets away from prostitution, he helped Shane onto a career as a hairstylist in the fashionable Hollywood area.
Interests… partying, sex, and women. Shane loves to have a good time and loves going out to bars in the area.
Relationship Status… verysingle. Shane is certainly the most lustful of her friends, and she's always on the lookout for a new hookup. It doesn't matter where she is or when, as soon as she sets her eyes on a target, Shane is likely to try and get that woman to sleep with her by the end of the day – though it usually takes her about five minutes in reality.
Challenge… trying to stay out of the way of vengeful exes. Shane's questionable behavior leads her into many flings as well as many difficult situations. It seems like everyone in the area knows Shane for her notorious habits of picking up women and promising them many things, before leaving the next morning, never to be seen again. Her friends have even drawn up an entire web of those she has hooked up with over the years.
Personality… charming, licentious, and confident. Shane knows she's sexy, and she isn't afraid to show it. She is wild, impulsive, and reckless with her habits and her sexuality, which often gets her into trouble when she engages in affairs with women who are already in relationships with other people. Though she may act cocky and move with a lot of swagger, deep down Shane has a lot of personal insecurities and vulnerabilities that she keeps guarded and that prevent her from getting close to people.

Home » Treatments » YAG Laser Capsulotomy
YAG capsulotomy is a laser procedure performed with a specialised laser called a YAG laser. It is used to treat patients who have previously undergone cataract surgery in whom the vision has become blurred because of thickening and opacification of the posterior capsule of the lens. This is a common complication of cataract surgery, though may not develop until some years after the cataract operation.
During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a plastic lens, which is supported by the natural envelope surrounding the lens, known as the capsule. Over time, the capsule can thicken and become opaque, interrupting the entry of light. When this happens, you may experience a gradual reduction in vision. Posterior capsular thickening can happen any time after your cataract operation from a few months to many years. YAG capsulotomy is performed to restore your vision to how it was after the cataract operation.
YAG capsulotomy is performed under local anaesthesia, using eyedrops. To keep the eye open and focus the laser beam, a special contact lens is placed on the eye. Your doctor then uses the YAG laser beam to create a small opening in the clouded capsule, in order to provide a clear path through which light can pass. You will hear clicking noises and experience bright lights during the process. The whole procedure takes approximately 5 minutes and is completely painless.
In the days following your YAG capsulotomy procedure, you may become aware of some new floaters in your visual field, small shapes or shadows which move. These are due to remnants of the cloudy capsule floating in the vitreous cavity, and generally disappear within a few days of the procedure.

So I wanted to create a bread that was full of flavour, grain free and gluten free and dairy free. I'm calling it sweet potato miracle breakfast bread because after the number of attempts it took to make it…it's a miracle that there is bread at all!
This bread bakes nicely, is easy to make and freezes well in slices. I like to retoast the slices in a sandwich press after defrosting, as it helps bring out the crunchy nutty flavour.
I have made lots of things with my favourite veggie (sweet potato) over the years I've been running Kidgredients, and the main reason for that is it is seriously the most versatile ever veggie, it works in savoury or sweet options and it can be used in so many ways! Steamed, baked, fried, mashed, grated…the list goes on.
But back to that miracle bread. I think one of the hardest things about being gluten free is if you previously could eat gluten…then all the gluten free breads etc taste weird. That's why I've done this loaf, it is entirely different so there are none of the expectations of bread.
It's jampacked with flavour too and crunch! The seeds really help to create the savoury base for the "bread". Just think: getting this much veg into the kids at breakfast means the pressure is off a little for the rest of the day.
Serve it with bacon and eggs, smoked salmon and poached eggs, or eat it slathered with butter or even peanut butter. It's perfect for a savoury breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. Don't try to put this in your regular toaster as it tends to burn a little quickly.

Here is a pic of my husband and me taken on our riverboat cruise last Friday night in Minneapolis.
I love this photo. It's a nice one of the two of us - just enjoying each other on a Mississippi Riverboat and a welcomed, albeit quick vacation together with our sweet family of 6. I sort of just want to post it. Yet, I think it also tells the story of who we are.
I guess you could say we're midwestern to the core. I was raised on a farm and a small college town in South Dakota and Missouri. As a teenager, we moved to 'the big city' --- Kansas City, to be exact. I am not radical. I am not even political. But I do care about what is happening in our country. And I would like to have my voice heard. I don't think that is really occurring in our country today. Perhaps those with differing views say they haven't had a voice before, so now they do. Does that mean it's OK to take mine away as you find yours? I am not an angry mob. I am not an organized protestor. I am an American with a voice.
Do you have one, too? Regardless of what you believe and how it aligns or differs with mine, write a letter to your representatives. Mine don't actually represent my views. But if enough of us write, it can make a difference. Don't sit idle and wait to see what happens in September. Hand write a note to your congressmen & women and your senators. If we don't, we have added nothing to the conversation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizzyflips from Lovely and something a little bit different! I really really love this top - its expensive for a vest but worth every penny in my opinion. As others have said it is see though but I wore it with my fluro stamina bra underneath as the nice addition of the drawstring on the vest is the same fluro colour and it looks fab. My normal size S was out of stock so sized up to the M and it's not obviously too big - just a little bit longer compared to the website photo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Becca288 from Very special This is something a little bit different. It's nice enough to wear as a casual top too. But be warned it's very see through! Almost a gossamer type fabric so you'd need to wear a sports bra under it even if for casual wear. I adore the adjustable bottom with the orange contrast tie. The thin straits and racer style make this so special. White is perfect for this as it goes with all my SB leggings. Would love it in bright orange or Beetle blue. So glad I gave this a try it's coming out running tomorrow!

Rated 5 out of 5 by oliviam14 from Perfect tank top for summer! I'm always a fan of a good white tank top with a special touch, and this is exactly that! This is the perfect addition to my collection as the length is perfect, I love the thin straps with the racerback combination, and the tie at the bottom is great for if you are doing HIIT or yoga and want to tie it a bit tighter than when you're running. Perfect for any workout! Highly recommend. #teamsweatybetty

Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430 – 26 November 1516)[1] was an Titian.
Giovanni Bellini was born in Venice. He was brought up in his father's house, and always lived and worked in the closest fraternal relation with his brother Gentile. Up until the age of nearly thirty we find in his work a depth of religious feeling and human pathos which is his own. His paintings from the early period are all executed in the old tempera method; the scene is softened by a new and beautiful effect of romantic sunrise color (as, for example, in the St. Jerome in the Desert).
In a somewhat changed and more personal manner, with less harshness of contour and a broader treatment of forms and draperies, but not less force of religious feeling, are the Dead Christ pictures, in these days one of the master's most frequent themes (an example is the Dead Christ Supported by the Madonna and St. John, or Pietà). Giovanni's early works have often been linked both compositionally and stylistically to those of his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna.
In 1470 Giovanni received his first appointment to work along with his brother and other artists in the Scuola di San Marco, where among other subjects he was commissioned to paint a Deluge with Noah's Ark. None of the master's works of this kind, whether painted for the various schools or confraternities or for the ducal palace, have survived.
To the decade following 1470 must probably be assigned the Transfiguration now in the Capodimonte Museum of Naples, repeating with greatly ripened powers and in a much serener spirit the subject of his early effort at Venice.
Also the great altar-piece of the Coronation of the Virgin at Pesaro, which would seem to be his earliest effort in a form of art previously almost monopolized in Venice by the rival school of the Vivarini.
As is the case with a number of his brother, Gentile's public works of the period, many of Giovanni's great public works are now lost. The still more famous altar-piece painted in tempera for a chapel in the church of S. Giovanni e Paolo, where it perished along with Titian's Peter Martyr and Tintoretto's Crucifixion in the disastrous fire of 1867.
After 1479–1480 much of Giovanni's time and energy must also have been taken up by his duties as conservator of the paintings in the great hall of the Doge's Palace. The importance of this commission can be measured by the payment Giovanni received: he was awarded, first the reversion of a broker's place in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, and afterwards, as a substitute, a fixed annual pension of eighty ducats. Besides repairing and renewing the works of his predecessors he was commissioned to paint a number of new subjects, six or seven in all, in further illustration of the part played by Venice in the wars of Frederick Barbarossa and the pope. These works, executed with much interruption and delay, were the object of universal admiration while they lasted, but not a trace of them survived the fire of 1577; neither have any other examples of his historical and processional compositions come down, enabling us to compare his manner in such subjects with that of his brother Gentile.
Of the other, the religious class of his work, including both altar-pieces with many figures and simple Madonnas, a considerable number have fortunately been preserved. They show him gradually throwing off the last restraints of the Quattrocento manner; gradually acquiring a complete mastery of the new oil medium introduced in Venice by Antonello da Messina about 1473, and mastering with its help all, or nearly all, the secrets of the perfect fusion of colors and atmospheric gradation of tones. The old intensity of pathetic and devout feeling gradually fades away and gives place to a noble, if more worldly, serenity and charm. The enthroned Virgin and Child (such as the one at left) become tranquil and commanding in their sweetness; the personages of the attendant saints gain in power, presence and individuality; enchanting groups of singing and viol-playing angels symbolize and complete the harmony of the scene. The full splendour of Venetian color invests alike the figures, their architectural framework, the landscape and the sky.
An interval of some years, no doubt chiefly occupied with work in the Hall of the Great Council, seems to separate the San Giobbe Altarpiece, and that of the church of San Zaccaria at Venice. Formally, the works are very similar, so a comparison between serves to illustrate the shift in Bellini's work over the last decade of the 15th century. Both pictures are of the Holy Conversation (sacred conversation between the Madonna and Saints) type. Both show the Madonna seated on a throne (thought to allude to the throne of Solomon), between classicizing columns. Both place the holy figures beneath a golden mosaicked half dome that recalls the Byzantine architecture in the basilica of St. Mark.
In the later work Bellini depicts the Virgin surrounded by (from left): St. Peter holding his keys and the Book of Wisdom; the virginal St. Catherine and St. Lucy closest to the Virgin, each holding a martyr's palm and her implement of torture (Catherine a breaking wheel, and Lucy a dish with her eyes); St. Jerome, with a book symbolizing his work on the Vulgate.
Stylistically, the lighting in the San Zaccaria piece has become so soft and diffuse that it makes that in the San Giobbe appear almost raking in contrast. Giovanni's use of the oil medium had matured, and the holy figures seem to be swathed in a still, rarefied air. The San Zaccaria is considered perhaps the most beautiful and imposing of all Giovanni's altarpieces, and is dated 1505, the year following that of Giorgione's Madonna of Castelfranco.
Other late altarpiece with saints include that of the church of San Francesco della Vigna at Venice, 1507; that of La Corona at Vicenza, a Baptism of Christ in a landscape, 1510; and that of San Giovanni Crisostomo at Venice of 1513.
Of Giovanni's activity in the interval between the altar-pieces of San Giobbe and San Zaccaria, there are a few minor works left, though the great mass of his output perished with the fire of the Doge's Palace in 1577. The last ten or twelve years of the master's life saw him besieged with more commissions than he could well complete. Already in the years 1501–1504 the marchioness Isabella Gonzaga of Mantua had had great difficulty in obtaining delivery from him of a picture of the Madonna and Saints (now lost) for which part payment had been made in advance.
In 1505 she endeavoured through Cardinal Bembo to obtain from him another picture, this time of a secular or mythological character. What the subject of this piece was, or whether it was actually delivered, we do not know.
Albrecht Dürer, visiting Venice for a second time in 1506, describes Giovanni Bellini as still the best painter in the city, and as full of all courtesy and generosity towards foreign brethren of the brush.
In 1507 Bellini's brother Gentile died, and Giovanni completed the picture of the Preaching of St. Mark which he had left unfinished; a task on the fulfillment of which the bequest by the elder brother to the younger of their father's sketch-book had been made conditional.
In 1513 Giovanni's position as sole master (since the death of his brother and of Alvise Vivarini) in charge of the paintings in the Hall of the Great Council was threatened by one of his former pupils. Young Titian desired a share of the same undertaking, to be paid for on the same terms. Titian's application was granted, then after a year rescinded, and then after another year or two granted again; and the aged master must no doubt have undergone some annoyance from his sometime pupil's proceedings. In 1514 Giovanni undertook to paint The Feast of the Gods for the duke Alfonso I of Ferrara, but died in 1516.
He was interred in the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, a traditional burial place of the doges.
Both in the artistic and in the worldly sense, the career of Bellini was, on the whole, very prosperous. His long career began with Girolamo da Santacroce, Vittore Belliniano, Rocco Marconi, Andrea Previtali[4] and possibly Bernardino Licinio.
In the historical perspective, Bellini was essential to the development of the Italian Renaissance for his incorporation of aesthetics from Northern Europe. Significantly influenced by Antonello da Messina, who had spent time in Flanders, Bellini made prevalent both the use of oil painting, different from the tempera painting being used at the time by most Italian Renaissance painters, and the use of disguised symbolism integral to the Northern Renaissance. As demonstrated in such works as St. Francis in Ecstasy (c. 1480) and the San Giobbe Altarpiece (c. 1478), Bellini makes use of religious symbolism through natural elements, such as grapevines and rocks. Yet his most important contribution to art lies in his experimentation with the use of color and atmosphere in oil painting.

There's nothing we like less than letting a great track fall off of our "recently played" list. Thankfully, New Jersey producer Gazzo has released a reimagined mix of "Never Touch The Ground". The original from L.A. native Y LUV was released nearly three years ago and Gazzo placed his awesome anthemic hands on it just about two years ago.
Yet, it seems the ascending artist isn't ready to let it rest, as he switches up the beats for a transformed progressive house track. The big room sound is still there, just pumped full of hard hitting beats and staggering synths that'll have you high up high. And because Gazzo wants you to stay off the ground, he's offering this banger up as a free download. Check the link below.

Happy Saturday!
I'm so excited the weekend is finally here!
Yesterday was a great day. I left work on time and quickly made my way over to Orlando for a concert at House of Blues. There were a bunch of us going from the office to celebrate Misty's birthday. The show wasn't one I would've normally picked to attend, but it ended up being really good. The headliner was a Sublime cover band-Badfish.
When I got to Orlando I met up with Marie and Jane at their hotel room, while they got ready for the show. We quickly ran out of time and had to rush to catch a cab; we made it inside while the first act was finishing up.
There were four bands that played and they were all quite good. We ended up losing Misty shortly before Badfish came on. And when we realized she probably left with her questionable date (that's another story), we decided to go get something to eat because didn't have a chance to eat preshow since we were running late.
We went over to Splitsville and I had delicious California Roll and a kids cheeseburger-I was hungry. 😉
We left there around 1 o'clock; Marie and Jane really wanted me to stay the night and not drive back home, I just really wanted to see the Boy and sleep in my own bed, so I made my way home.
Since I got home so late, I made sure to sleep in this morning. I didn't intend to sleep till 1:00 this afternoon, but it happened. Don't judge me!
Last night furthered cemented just how old I am getting. It wasn't even 11 and I just wanted to be home, in my bed watching Breaking Bad with the Boy. In a way it's sad, but I'm happy…I like our life and love our quiet nights in.
I quickly got ready and threw together a large assortment of fruit. It was amazing! Note to self: Paula Dean knives are sharp. 😦
I promised my friend Kat I would go with her to her second (of three) sessions for her latest tattoo. I'm not a big fan of tattoos; I went for moral support. It was super exciting! And yes, that was sarcasm.
I wanted to hit up the produce stand this morning, but…I kind of slept through that. So, it's on my Sunday list of things to do.
Well, the Boy and I are off to have dinner with my parents. Have a great night!
Questions of the day
What kind of music are you into?
—I like rock- Sevendust is my favorite- but, I can listen to most anything…especially Taylor Swift. I have an assortment of Sirius stations I scroll through.
How did you spend your Saturday?

text: Is a turbo-Neon coming to the USA? (Part 2)by David Zatz on August 4, 2016 at 1:21 pm EDT On Monday, we talked about whether Dodge might use the Mexican 2017 Dodge Neon as a Dart replacement. Powered by a descendent of the 1995 Neon engine, this car is actually a restyled Fiat Tipo; it's roughly Neon-length but somewhat narrower, and over five inches shorter than the Dart. While critics praised the 2017 Dodge Neon's ride and handling, they dinged the engines, which max out at 110 horsepower. Now, reliable and eponymous source "Mr. Source" wrote that the company is looking into a turbocharged engine — the oft-criticized 160-hp Fiat 1.4 turbo engine, since it's small, compatible, and available (and made in relatively-nearby Michigan). That powerplant would provide a healthy 184 pound-feet of torque. The interior is nicely equipped for the price, which is around the same as the Nissan Versa; and the paint, fit, and finish are all good. As a bonus, the Tipo it's based on is already made in hatchback form as well, which could be a big selling point. A US/Canada Neon could be faster, cheaper, and more credible than any other solution to keep Dodge (or Chrysler) in small cars, which would hedge against higher fuel prices and bring in (or keep) entry-level buyers. While some may say that it's a Fiat in Dodge clothing, it is still far more satisfactory to most buyers and FCA followers than a Chinese import, and it's not as though Chrysler Corporation did not rebadge the Colt, Arrow, and Champ.
