Although not entirely conjoined, the law makes it expensive for employers and employees to separate. While most people appreciate that employers can't terminate employees with impunity, few realize employees are similarly entangled.
Most Canadian employees believe they can leave whenever they wish, provided they give two weeks' notice. But four employees of software aviation firm GasTOPS Ltd. attempted to do just that, they were hit with a judgement for more than $19-million.
The Ontario Court of Appeal recently affirmed that judgment in favour of GasTOPS, versus Bradley Forsyth, Douglas Brouse, Jeffrey Cass, Robert Vandenberg and MxI Technologies Ltd., the competing company they formed — for resigning on two weeks notice, rather than the 10 months the court considered appropriate. That company attracted many of GasTOPS' clients and more of its employees.
They were ordered to pay GasTOPS 10 years' of MxI's profits, on the basis that if they had provided the 10 months notice the trial judge considered appropriate, GasTOPS would have been able to recruit and otherwise prepare for the departure and the clients would have remained. The court found that these employees left without providing sufficient notice knowing other employees would follow and that it would leave GasTOPS unable to fulfill its contracts or pursue the opportunities for which it has planned.
Just as employees are entitled to notice or severance pay largely equivalent to the time it should take them to find other employment, the same applies in reverse. If your employer can establish that your leaving with minimal or no notice cost them damages, relative to if they had received sufficient notice, they can sue.
The amount of damage is based on what they can prove — lost clients, recruiting fees, lost sales if the employee was a salesperson, almost anything. If the employee was providing some value, and the employer can establish that in monetary terms, that will be the measure of the damages.
The notice employees are required to provide is the length of time the employer can convince a court it should take to recruit a qualified replacement for that person, and in turn provide notice to their employer and start working. In other words, like wrongful dismissal damages, there is little certainty as to the quantum. The notice period in wrongful dismissal law defines the damages. Ten months wrongful dismissal damages equates to 10 months wages. But the damages from inadequate notice in wrongful resignation cases bears no relationship to monthly wages but to the employer's loss, which can take many forms.
What can employers and employees do to protect themselves:
- Negotiate termination provisions specifying the notice the employee must provide. Most employers won't want employees around who are leaving, particularly if they are going to the competition, which means the employer should contract for the right to waive that notice without payment. The employee should be prepared to provide that notice but have arrangements at the ready with their new employer if they are ushered out the door.
- If an employee resigns without sufficient notice, ask them for more time. If they refuse, confirm it in writing. That sets the basis for a wrongful resignation claim. It is possible the employee will agree to your request.
- Instead of negotiating more time, the employer might negotiate non-solicitation or non-dealing (with employees or customers) clauses for a certain period of time, to protect itself from the employee's future predations.
- Do not escort them out the door if they provide you short notice. That is most employers' first instinct. But if you want to be arguing in court that you should have received more notice, you don't want to have turned down what little notice you did receive.
- Employees should attempt to work it out with the employer. Most employers have better uses for their energy than a lawsuit and will be amenable.
- Don't pile it on. Its bad enough to be sued for not providing sufficient notice. Don't compound it by taking confidential documents or breaching other legal duties.
- Don't leave your employer in the lurch. Both legal entitlement, and the rage to fuel it, flow from just that.

Quality solar power systems and solar installations in South Africa, solar panels in South Africa generate free power from the sun by Converting sunlight to electricity with no moving parts, zero emissions, and no maintenance. The solar panel, the first component of a electric solar power system, is a collection of individual silicon cells that generate electricity from sunlight. The photons (light particles) produce an electrical current as they strike the surface of the thin silicon wafers Multiple solar panels can be wired in parallel to increase current capacity (more power) and wired in series to increase voltage for 24, 48, or even higher voltage systems. The advantage of using a higher voltage output at the solar panels is that smaller wire sizes can be used to transfer the electric power from the solar panel array to the charge controller & batteries.Power up your home, farmhouse, warehouse, factory or office block with a Enersol Solar Panel

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFPS) -- More than a half century since it was established to confront the Cold War threat, North American Aerospace Defense Command is at a new crossroads as officials in the United States and Canada determine the capabilities it will need to confront emerging challenges and threats in the decades ahead.
Members of the Permanent Joint Board of Defense, the highest-level defense and security forum between the two countries, discussed the so-called "NORAD Next" concept during their meeting in Colorado Springs, Colo., last month, Royal Canadian Air Force Lt. Gen. J.A.J. "Alain" Parent, NORAD's deputy commander, told American Forces Press Service.
The discussion was a first step toward a broad analysis to identify what threats and challenges the United States and Canada will face in the 2025-to-2030 timeframe -- and what steps need to be taken now to prepare for them, Parent said.
NORAD Next is largely a vision at this point, Parent emphasized, and any changes to the binational NORAD agreement would require both countries' approval. But vast changes in the security landscape have produced broad agreement that NORAD must continually evolve to meet challenges to North America, he said.
Throughout its history, adaptation has been one of NORAD's hallmarks, enabling it to remain relevant even as the geostrategic environment has changed, Parent noted.
The United States and Canada formed North American Air Defense Command in 1958, merging their air defense capabilities to provide a continental-scale ability to detect and intercept Soviet bombers, presumably carrying nuclear weapons, explained Lance Blyth, the NORAD command historian.
That same framework -- warning systems that ran across Canada and Alaska, fighter bases with interceptor aircraft and a command-and-control system that tied them together and with national command authorities -- adapted as intercontinental ballistic missiles became the more pressing threat, Blyth said.
This expanded mission led to NORAD's name change in 1981 to North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The command continued to provide aerospace warning and control for North America after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but also began to contribute its capabilities to counterdrug missions, predominantly focusing on airborne trafficking into the United States and Canada.
NORAD's sensors and interceptors supported this new law enforcement mission, providing intelligence to law enforcement agencies and serving as a catalyst for the close interagency collaboration that underpins NORAD's operations today, Blyth explained.
The 9/11 terrorist attacks shook NORAD to its very core, challenging the bedrock assumption on which it had been founded: that an attack on either of the two countries would emanate from outside their borders, he said.
Within hours of the attack, NORAD already had the go-ahead to stand up Operation Noble Eagle. Under this ongoing homeland defense mission, NORAD monitors and intercepts aircraft of interest within both U.S. and Canadian territory, and provides security support for major events ranging from G8 summits, political conventions to even the Super Bowl.
Operation Noble Eagle represented a sea change at NORAD, broadening its focus for the first time to address both internal as well as external threats against North America.
"We weren't postured to be looking inside the continent as we are today," Royal Canadian Air Force Brig. Gen. A.D. "Al" Meinzinger, deputy director of strategy in the NORAD and U.S. Northern Command policy and plans directorate, told American Forces Press Service. "But as a consequence of 9/11, we stood up a whole enterprise to be poised and positioned to deal with the internal threats," he added. "And we all understand that we need to be ready to respond on a moment's notice."
Another major step in that evolution took place in 2006, when U.S. and Canadian authorities expanded NORAD's mandate to address seaborne threats. This maritime-warning mission applies the command's capabilities to identify and track vessels of interest approaching either country's coast, and passing that intelligence to authorities that would intercept them.
More than a decade after 9/11, NORAD officials are widening their field of vision yet again as they discuss roles the command could play in addressing threats from a broad array of domains: air, space, sea, land and even cyberspace.
They also are working to identify what warning systems and processes will be required to address these threats, particularly as the life cycles of many of the current radars expire in the 2020-2025 timeframe.
"We need to think about what is beyond 2015, what the strategic environment will be, and what we need to be doing to move the command into that future," Meinzinger said.
NORAD Next, he said, will be the bumper sticker for that next big step in NORAD's evolution.
"NORAD Next will ensure that NORAD remains forever relevant and ever evolving," Parent said. "If we want to outpace the threats, we have to think in advance of them.
"The important thing," he continued, "is that we maintain relevancy and don't get surprises. The stakes are too big for our two counties to get surprised."

Hey You Kids, Get Off My Mound; And The Next Manager Is…
I have to agree with Dallas Braden – it was a sign of disrespect, or an attempt at gamesmanship, for Alex Rodriguez to cut back to first across the mound in the afternoon in Oakland. And I have to agree with Rodriguez that Braden's temper tantrum in the dugout was bush league. And I have to agree with whoever investigates Braden's comments that they probably already constitute a threat, or certainly something to watch in future meetings.
18 Comments
Better that A-Rod not apologize than he cough up one of those "I regret if anyone was offended" self-justifying non-apologies. Bit of a tempest in a thimble, though.
Keith, nothing to do with this article, but I would love your take on records that will never be broken. A few that I have thought about are:
1. Van De Meers back to back no hitters (to break it, you would need 3 in a row)
2. Cy Young's win record – you would need 512, or 25 wins a year for 20 1/2 years
3. Cy Young's loss record of 316. Again, it would take 317 losses, or 15 losses a year for over 21 years (I'm sure if that player was around, the Mets would sign them)
4. Ryan's career strikeouts. Only a handful of pitchers pitched more then 220 innings last year, and even if they average one K per inning, it would still take nearly 26 years at that rate.
Any others that come to mind?
Here are a few other "unbreakables," Steve:
Nolan Ryan's no-hitters (7); Yankees' consecutive World Series titles (5); Eric Gagne's consecutive saves (84); Hank Aaron's 2,297 RBIs; Orel Herscheiser's consecutive scoreless innings pitched (59); Joe D's 56-game hitting streak; Sam Crawford's lifetime triples (309); Rickey Henderson's both season high and lifetime stolen bases (130/1,406); Cal Ripken Jr's 2,632 consecutive games played.
I agree, it will be odd to see Mattingly managing the Dodgers. Off topic, a friend of mine bought some packs of Topps baseball cards off Ebay. The cards are from 1987 and '88, should she open the packs to see who's in there, or leave them as is? Love the blog and keep writing.
Rodriguez was in the wrong, 100 percent. He was attempting to show up a young player, forgetting, I guess, that he was once a young player himself. Frankly, I sort of wish Braden would have plunked him with his pickoff move. Hit him right in the A-Rump, as you might say.
Off topic but an important reminder. The Yankees are scheduled to play the Diamondbacks in June. This means that they will need to bring their passports with them.
Arizona is now, officially, a police state. It is only a matter of time before a Latino player is pulled over or even hauled in because "your papers are not in order."
I'm sure Mark Berry would make a fine interim manager, but remember, the only way The Dustbuster gets whacked is if the Reds completely implode.
I worry the Rick Sweet would succumb to whatever managerial disease that felled our last highly regarded aaa skipper Dave Miley.
First, about A-Rod: in an article I read, Tom Seaver asked if anyone could imagine doing that to Drysdale or Gibson? The answer is simple: no. But Jim Kaat mentioned that Pete Rose always tried to go over the mound when he pitched, so he would stand in such a way that Rose couldn't. It was just gamesmanship. But in A-Rod's case, he probably was trying to remember whether he was dating Madonna or Kate Hudson last.
Persistentfan, we all prefer to avoid politics here. Keith has a political life and a baseball life. But this actually brings up an interesting question, given the number of Latin players–whether they will run into any trouble in Arizona.
Giants: How about Will Clark? Or go young with JT Snow? Maybe Bengie Molina as a player/manager?
Giants: Bengie Molina player/manager, he could help develop Buster Posey into the next Mike Piazza.
You'd think Dave Righetti would be in line given SF's pitching staff.. but I think Bochy is probably safe there for a few more years.
Re: St. Louis that would be great to see Oquendo as manager. I remember #11 well from his playing days, always a class act.
mantlewasarockstar, you did bring up some good ones, although the one I would have to argue is Aaron's RBI record. A-Rod is 591 RBI's behind coming into this season. it is fair to say he will play at least 6 more years, which means he would need to average just under 100 a year to break the record. If you take out his first two years (total of 65 games appeared in), he is averaging nearly 120 RBIs per year since then. He has a shot at breaking the RBI and HR records, not to mention the "records with an asterick" record.
Brad Mills would be joining the more prescient of his fans were he to run screaming into Crawford street…
I think the umps purposely didn't throw Russel out today as being forced to watch the Pirates is punishment enough.
How exactly did this team actually win 7 games??!!
Hey Keith, what are the odds of Sweet Lou taking the spot if Dusty goes?
For the Giants the heir is Steve Decker… he's been moving up quickly and has managed Posey at every level…. don't be surprized if he's a coach on Major League staff next year, or even as soon as the Grizzely's season is over.
KO- I agree with you most of the time both here and on your show, but I have to ask…why Bubba? Why not just promote Ryno from AAA Iowa and then hire him on like the Nats did with Riggleman last year? Although, maybe I'm a little biased because Ryno was one of my boyhood heroes. He certainly has the temper Lou once had the reputation for. As a die hard Cubs fan, I am tired of hearing Lou make little or poor excuses for a lack of timely hitting and very poor bullpen support.
PS Go Cubs!
When speaking of Atlanta, it's "Chino," not "Chico.". You ignorant, racist, hate mongering bigot. You clearly hate Hispanics….
These are all pretty good picks. Some of the current managers need to take a hiatus and let some of these winners fill in. If I hear anymore about people in a baseball club (besides players) going into drug treatment I'm going to be so frustrated I could scream! Some of these teams deserve to be reorganized with someone more competent at the helm!

Promoting Sexual Rights: The Key to Ending the AIDS Epidemic
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of five talented youth from four countries who had traveled to New York to participate in the UN High Level Meeting on AIDS. As we discussed their goals and the commitments they hoped governments would make towards ending the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, one clear priority emerged: sexual rights.
One of the advocates, a young man from Costa Rica, told me that talking about HIV and AIDS without addressing sexual rights is like "closing your eyes." I couldn't agree more.
The connection between sexual rights and HIV and AIDS is undeniable, with the majority of HIV infections transmitted sexually. Sexuality is a natural aspect of life, and a fundamental part of our humanity.
Too often, the world closes its eyes to this reality in creating and carrying out policies and programs. As a result, discrimination, stigma and inequality continue to compromise the ability of many to exercise choice in their sexual and reproductive lives and to safely express their own sexual identity—especially women and young people.
As rates of new HIV infections among women and girls continue to rise, more attention has been paid to the factors that make them vulnerable to HIV, such as violence and sexual coercion.
Yet less attention has been paid to the social and psychological barriers that young people often face in accessing the information, commodities, and services they need to protect their health. We can build the best HIV prevention clinics in the world, but they will not be effective if clients do not show up.
Even in societies where discriminatory traditions such as child marriage are slowly eroding, very little support exists for programs that address young people's sexuality in a non-judgmental way. Good, quality comprehensive sexuality education is rarely available in schools, much less for the millions of adolescents who are out of school, and youth-friendly health services remain a boutique endeavor.
Robust investments in programs and services that help young people examine values regarding gender and sexuality will ultimately empower today's generation of youth—the largest ever in history—to create new cultural norms based on equality and respect.
Finally, when we think of stigma and discrimination, we rarely consider the experiences of HIV positive women. And, policies and programs rarely consider the unique needs and experiences of women living with HIV or arm them with the information they need to exercise their rights.
In the Dominican Republic, a recent study of the Stigma Index, in collaboration with IPPF member Profamilia, found that discrimination against women living with HIV can often be much stronger than the stigma men experience. Women suffered discrimination more than men in at least 10 categories of discrimination listed in the index, including employment and health care. The study also found that these women were more likely to be physically abused, forced to have sex or even threatened with a gun.
The International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region has long been a champion of quality health services for all and a staunch defendant of sexual and reproductive rights. We know, based on decades of experience, that in order for all people to attain the highest standard of health, they must first be empowered to exercise choice in their sexual and reproductive lives and feel safe and informed in expressing their sexual identity.
If we as a world are to see an end to the AIDS pandemic, we can no longer afford to keep our eyes closed to this reality.

Well, I tried driving to the limit of the trip computer, but still only went 340 miles.

Well, I tried driving to the limit of the trip computer, but still only went 340 miles.
Does any one have experience with putting trailer lights on FEH?
I use my feh on my farm. can only fit 30 1/2 bushel boxes in the back with the seats down need more cargo capacity. Needed minor modification to attach oem hitch. I also installed a moon roof- I don't like AC.
A point of interest- the slow leaking tire I had had a bigger impact on fuel than my other modifications. It took a week to notice the tire was going down but the fuel gauge showed the problem first.
Regarding my experience over the last 11,000 miles-
-battery is not strong enough for rolling hills even at slow speeds engine kicks in too soon for my liking.
-the engine will kick in regardless of recharge demand -for example coasting down a hill, careful to keep under 40mph and careful to gentle brake to get charge not actual braking, the engine will still come on to recharge?
-My v8 dodge pickup got 8-15 mpg my FEH gets 25- 29 with the same application- you know I love that,,
-awd is excellent.
-Road trips of 10 miles or more can result in best mpg, short trips shoot the average, unfortunately in my life I do lots of short trips.
-my best tank average was 30 mpg. 22 worst.
-My son and I who are geeks about the car get at least 3 mpg better than my wife who thinks it is just a car with a good cd player
-computer overstates actual fuel use by +/- 2mpg
-it is still hard for me to get used to 4000rpm needed on steep hills. I do try hard to keep rpms below2000.
-for best results. the idea of start on battery then once engine kicks in -usually between 20and 30mph, but always by 40- push up to appropriate driving speed by going to 2500-3000 rpm, then drop back to under 2000 results my FEH best efficency
Dhodge, read the technical section of this article:
The FEH has a air conditioner coil (evaporator) in the battery compartment to cool the batteries. If it thinks the batteries are getting too hot, it will start the engine to run the AC for the battery. That is one reason the engine may start when you don't expect it to. I think that is one thing Ford does different than Toyota. Keeping the battery cooler makes it last longer so they added the battery AC. Does anyone know if the other hybrids have the battery AC?
I just wanted to add in my experience with my 2005 AWD Escape Hybrid which was purchased 5 months ago. I live in a hilly city in Colorado and our in-town mileage has averaged about 29mpg. But when we are cruising in the mountains we get 32-35 mpg. We haven't had any performance issues going up hill. we hold our own with most of the other traffic on the interstate highway passes. We've taken it on dirt and gravel mountain backroads and it has performed well thus far. Curious how things go in the snow this winter? To date, I'm a happy customer. But they really should revise the city EPA rating since it seems hardly anyone achieves that. I usually got EPA on other vehicals that I've owned in the past. That said, this SUV has performed very well.
In Feb. 2005 we bought our FEH at Old Bridge Ford in Old Bridge, NJ (it was an excellent buying experience by the way). My wife had it for a while but she ended up getting a Toyota Sienna minivan to haul our pack of young uns easier. So, only since May, have I been using the FEH. I drive the kids to school through Princeton traffic and then along Route 1 a short distance to the office, and then in the evening back home on either Route 1 (lots of slow traffic) or through Princeton.
The good news: my mileage keeps going up from tank to tank. Unfortunately, with a 25 mile round trip per day and the very good gas mileage I'm getting from the FEH, I don't get to fill up the tank too often. I heard that gas prices went up recently but haven't had an opportunity to fill up over the last couple of weeks so haven't really noticed it. The last tank was 36.2 MPG average and currently I am sitting at 37.0 with about 300 miles run on the current tank of gas. Maybe next week I'll get to fill up and see what has happened to prices.
In my opinion, the secret to good gas mileage is truly driver-dependent. Here are my observations:
(1) Accelerate carefully. Watch the little gauge on the left with the needle that indicates gas (white) versus electric (green) engine usage. There is a certain point in the green part of the gauge above which the gas will always come on. Keep in electric for as long as possible by watching the needle and keep it in the green (and ignore the horns behind you, over time your foot will get better tuned at accelerating while keeping in electric)
(2) Over 40 MPH the gas engine will always come on. Stay below 40 MPH whenever you can.
(3) Plan your route to enjoy stop and go traffic on streets that don't tend to have cars going more that 30 of 40 MPH. It'll keep you in electric longer.
(4) Learn to use the Hybrid Tap(TM), that gentle tap on the brake you use when you are going less than 40 MPH which can cause the gas engine to shut off and switch to electric. I use this on down hills and approaching stop lights and stop signs.
(5) Get into the inventive spirit about seeing what you can do to improve your MPG. You'll be surprised at what you may be able to do.
A final note, the other car I drive sometimes in place of my FEH is a 1992 Porsche 968. By my reckoning, my FEH has better power then the Porsche, but the Porsche handles better in the curves. The gas mileage can't be compared. But how often can you compare a Ford to a Porsche in a head to head and the Ford come out ahead?
Hi, Bill H. Good to hear of your driving experience with the FEH. My wife drives ours most of the time but I got to drive it for 10 days on vacation. I tried to get maximum gas mileage since gas was mostly over $3 per gallon and learned most of the techniques you described. Some of the things you learn driving the FEH carry over to conventional vehicles. I presently have gone well over 300 miles on a tank in my 2003 Explorer driving to and from work. I used to have to fill it at about 250 miles. If more cars had the MPG feed back of the FEH, drivers would find out where they are wasting gas and could develop driving skills that would save a lot of fuel. One of the tricks that seems to help the Explorer the most is to cut idling time to a minimum. I don't start the engine untill I am ready to roll and cut it as soon as the transmission is in park.
How much does the roof rack on the FEH affect gas milage? My 4WD FEH has been getting the EPA rating of 29MPG on the highway at 65MPH with the AC operating. I took the two roof rack rails off to get a dent repaired and got 32MPG on a 120 mile trip this last weekend. I don't think the rails should make a 3MPG difference but wanted to know if anyone else has taken them off and noticed any difference in gas milage.
I've only had my 4wd HEV for a couple of days now. I guess there's no definitive driver's guide for it, just the tips and tricks fellow owners come up with in these forums. Can anyone tell me why sometimes I find that from a dead stop, the vehicle will begin its acceleration with the ICE instead of the electric drive?
The battery appears to be normally charged and I am only attempting to accelerate slowly.
Also, when this occurs, tapping the brake does not switch it over.
Ray, the FEH decides to run the ICE for at least three reasons. One is that you are asking for more acceleration than the electric motor can provide and the second is that the battery needs charging. The other I know of is that the battery compartment needs cooling. There is an evaporator coil from the air conditioning system in the battery compartment and the ICE is started to keep the batteries cool. You may also notice that the air from the vents gets very cold even when you have the controls in the vent position with the AC off. I can make about a mile at 25MPH on battery and then the ICE will run for about 10 seconds.
Thanks Jay.
Assuming that my battery needs charging when this happens, I guess it stands to reason that letting the engine charge the battery while idle, then shut off before I drive would be better for fuel efficiency.
I'm interested in knowing if you are still seeing an improved MPG without the racks on the roof.

If somebody told you that singing helps to get rid of snoring issues, you may think that the person is kidding you. But the fact is, singing exercises the throat muscles, and is truly a natural way to reduce snoring. However, snoring causes may vary from person to person, and singing or other natural therapies may not work out to eliminate all sorts of snoring issues.
Snoring is caused by obstructions in air movement during sleep.
Here is some helpful information on how you can stop snoring using our Snoring Mouthpiece. The throat muscles relax while we sleep, and the disturbed airflow vibrates the soft palates in the upper airway, resulting in the harsh buzzing sound. Unwanted fat accumulation in the throat area, or a weak throat that collapses on the airway, are the main causes of snoring.

Nothing says you've embraced summer like a sun-kissed glow, and we've got all the best DIY self-tanning tips to achieve it. Going the tan-from-a-tube route may even help protect you from sun damage, recent research shows: Beachgoers educated in self-tan techniques and the dangers of UV rays were less likely to sit in the sun without protection and experienced fewer sunburns over the course of the summer than their nontrained fellow loungers. (It's not that self-tanners contain SPF — most don't; rather, bronzing safely can change your sunbathing habits.) Read on for the pros' product picks and techniques for believable color (no orange tans here).
Prep Skin
1. Test it out "Self-tanners rely on the ingredient dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, a potential irritant," says Sinead Norenius, founder of faux-glow maker Beautisol. "Over the years, I've found that roughly one in 10 people can't tolerate it. The day before you self-tan for the first time, test a silver dollar-size area on the inside of your arm or inner thigh." But if you do get a rash, try another formulation before you pass on self-tanner.
2. Get your timing right Wax at least 24 hours in advance; the same goes for any other kind of hair removal that tears hair out of the follicle — like threading or tweezing. "Otherwise, the follicles may still be open, and self-tanner can pool in them, creating tiny dark spots," explains Norenius. Also, rubbing DHA on sensitized skin ups the odds of irritation.
3. Slough off old skin first To turn you golden, DHA reacts with the proteins in the very outer layer of your skin. Any patches of old, dead skin will absorb more self-tanner, which can lead to spots and streaks. For an even start, dry-brush before your shower. Try EcoTools Bamboo Bristle Bath Brush ($6, drugstores). Or, use an exfoliating mitt with an oil-free body wash, advises Norenius. If you prefer to use a body scrub, choose one formulated for use with self-tanners, like Beautisol Go Slough Yourself ($19, beautisol.com); ordinary body scrubs generally contain hydrating oils that will impede the penetration of DHA.
4. Be bare When you get out of the shower, you may instinctively reach for a deodorant or an antiperspirant. Stop right there. "If the lotion or spray hits your deodorant, your skin can turn a funny green-gray color," cautions Norenius. It's best if self-tanner goes on dry skin that's freshly cleaned and exfoliated, so don't rub on any essential oils, spritz on perfume, or apply body lotion, either.
Self-Tan Head To Toe
1. Start light Dark self-tanners pack more DHA, and the higher the concentration, the greater the odds you'll end up with an uneven or streaky tan, says Sally Lewis, head of product development at St. Tropez. If you're a self-tan newbie, start with a light formulation. Once you've gotten the application down pat, you can graduate to medium or dark (which have the benefit of lasting longer).
2. Select instant color Many self-tanners also contain a DHA-free bronzing lotion or temporary tanner. These formulas have pigment that delivers an immediate glow — and, like makeup, they wash off with soap and water. The slather-on bronze gives you immediate gratification, but more important, "the color reduces streaks by showing you exactly where you've rubbed it on and where you've missed," says Norenius. Try: St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse ($30, Sephora) or Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy Adjustable Self-Tan Lotion With Shimmer ($14, Victoria's Secret). Save clear self-tanners, like the classic Clarins Self-Tanning Instant Gel ($32.50, department stores), for later, when you're sure of your technique.
3. Begin at your thighs and rub the self-tanner down the length of your legs. "Start with a dollop, so that when you reach your ankles, a spot that doesn't need much self-tanner, you won't have much left," says Xen-Tan founder Dera Enochson. Then rub self-tanner on the front of your torso followed by your arms (starting with your shoulders). "Again, when you reach your wrists, the product should have thinned out," explains Enochson.
4. Tan your face, too Most body self-tanners (like those mentioned in this story, unless otherwise noted) work just as well on your face; check the product instructions. To prevent a horizontal line across the top of your forehead, rub the self-tanner up and down into your hairline, says Enochson. "Unless you're blond, that is. DHA can alter that hair color." Rub any residual self-tanner on your hands onto your ears and the back of your neck; these pale spots will stand out, especially with a short 'do. If you have any dark spots on your face, finish by swiping them with a slightly damp cotton swab, says Norenius. Otherwise, DHA will turn them darker.
5. Spritz hard-to-reach spots The easiest way to reach the small of your back: Turn a 360-degree aerosol spray upside down and mist it, says Lewis. Try L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist ($10.50, drugstores). Spritz your feet, too; a lotion, gel, or mousse will tend to lay on too much color.
6. Go easy on your hands Orange nail beds and dark hands are telltale signs of a bad self-tan. Once you've finished the rest of your application, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry them; now you're ready to apply self-tanner here. Curl your hand into a claw so the DHA will be less likely to pool in the creases of your knuckles (plus, with your hand poised in claw position, an aerosol mist will barely hit your cuticles). If you're using a lotion or mousse, rub a bit on the back of your hand and then feather out any residue onto your fingers. (And, of course, avoid your palm.)
7. Buff trouble spots Finish by wiping cuticles with a tissue, advises Lewis. Then take a dry washcloth and buff knuckles, elbows, knees, the insides of your wrists, and the backs of your heels with a few back-and-forth swipes. "It'll prevent those areas from grabbing excess product and turning extra dark," explains Norenius.
8. Opt for gradual self-tanner if you want just a hint of tan. Apply one like Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer ($9, drugstores) for three days straight, and your glow will culminate in a color similar to that of one self-tan application.
Optimize the Glow
1. Catch streaks early If streaks do appear as your self-tan develops, you have two options. One is to scrub down the color (ideally within four hours) with a strong exfoliator like St. Tropez Tan Remover ($18, Sephora). "Scrubbing will make any unevenness less noticeable," explains Lewis. Or, tan again. "If you've botched your self-tan, you may think the last thing you want is a do-over, but the fact is, those spots and streaks are popping up in the areas you've missed," says Enochson. Simply rub self-tanner on any areas that have turned out lighter, buffing or feathering it out so as not to create more lines.
2. Fend off odor Self-tanners have a deserved bad rap for being stinky. That's because DHA's reaction with your skin also releases an odor. So don't expect that pleasant coconut-scented perfume to last. Showering eight hours after you've put on self-tanner will minimize the smell by washing away any excess DHA, says Enochson. And thankfully, technologies similar to those used to mask or eliminate household aromas are increasingly turning up in self-tanners (St. Tropez has "Aroma Guard"; Beautisol, "Pure Scent"). If you're not sure whether your pick has an odor masker (or if you still think you're smelly), Xen-Tan has introduced Scent Secure ($32, Nordstrom), a plain body moisturizer with scent-neutralizing ingredients that can go over any self-tanner and Febreze it, so to speak.
3. Skip the long swims (and showers) "A self-tan lasts between four and 10 days, till the outer layer of your skin sheds — and your self-tan goes with it," says Enochson. Anything that speeds up that natural process, including body exfoliation or long soaks, will put the kibosh on your tan. "If you're in the pool for half an hour, you're going to lose a lot of color. Limit your dips to 10 minutes, and then pat, don't rub, yourself dry," she says. If you're on a seaside or pool vacation, Enochson advises using a gradual self-tanner in place of your usual moisturizer to help keep your tan going over the course of a week. Try the Jergens mentioned above, or Nivea Sun-Kissed Firming Moisturizer ($8, drugstores); note that it's not for faces.
4. Keep skin hydrated The drier your skin, the faster your self-tan will flake off. And since DHA is dehydrating, it leaves skin especially parched. "Moisturize daily, and you'll get more mileage out of your tan," says Enochson. Plus, dryness can make your color look splotchy or uneven — not like the glowing finish you desire.

Top Hospitals for This Treatment
Cardiac catheterization (also called cardiac cath or coronary angiogram) is an invasive imaging procedure that tests for heart disease by allowing your doctor to see how well your heart is functioning. During the test, a long, narrow tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a blood vessel in your arm or leg and guided to your heart with the aid of a special X-ray machine. Contrast dye is injected through the catheter so that X-ray movies of your valves, coronary arteries, and heart chambers can be created.
Why Do I Need a Cardiac Catheterization?
Your doctor uses cardiac cath to:
- Evaluate or confirm the presence of heart disease (such as coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, or disease of the aorta).
- Evaluate heart muscle function.
- Determine the need for further treatment (such as an interventional procedure or bypass surgery).
- At many hospitals, several interventional, or therapeutic, procedures to open blocked arteries are performed after the diagnostic part of the cardiac catheterization is complete. Interventional procedures include balloon angioplasty and stent placements.
What Are the Risks Associated With Cardiac Catheterization?
Cardiac catheterization is generally safe. However, as with any invasive procedure, there are risks. Special precautions are taken to decrease these risks. Your doctor will discuss the risks of the procedure with you.
Risks are rare but can include:
- Bleeding around the point of puncture
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Blood clots
- Infection
- Allergic reaction to the dye
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Perforation of a blood vessel
- Air embolism (introduction of air into a blood vessel, which can be life-threatening)
Be sure to ask your doctor any questions you may have before undergoing cardiac catheterization or other tests for heart disease.

The more I'm seeing blatant injustice in America and around the world, the more of course I'm asking God those three little letters – W H Y- like a clueless child.
Why is it "at home" and abroad people of deeper pigment are more often times than not negatively treated even in their own land, on their own soil, or in a country they were forced to build with their own blood, their children's blood, and their children's children's blood.
The obvious conclusion would be – this melanin must be a curse?
But if God created all men and women in his image – How can this melanin be a curse?
If God said "Let us make man in our image" (Gen. 1:26) and people with more melanin and deeper pigment are also made in God's image –
Why is the image of God being marginalized, brutalized, and killed by less melanated men?
The injustice is likely easier if we believe there is no God.
If we do believe there is a God and still practice injustice based on the amount of pigment a person has in his or her skin – then what does that make us?
And what does the God that made us think of what is being done against his image?

In many ways, Mank feels like a departure from David Fincher's usual aesthetic style. A black-and-white drama written by Fincher's father, the late Jack Fincher, Mank is set in Hollywood in the 1930s and '40s. It tells the story of alcoholic, troubled screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz's (Gary Oldman) attempts to reignite his career by drawing from his own experiences with newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst (Charles Dance) and Hearst's paramour, actress Marion Davies (Amanda Seyfried).

Between things like camera shake and poor lighting, the videos you take with your phone, DSLR or mirrorless camera can end up blurry for any numbers of reasons. Worse yet, it's difficult to sharpen a photo or video after the fact, and more often than not, the results don't look great. However, with the help of AI, Adobe thinks it may have the solution for blurry photos and videos.

Adobe MAX is here so that must mean another update to Adobe Premiere Pro. I know what you're thinking… didn't Adobe just have a big update? Yes, they did, the September release. With that release, we got Scene Edit Detection and some new beta stuff. This MAX release gives us more beta stuff and some early access. I guess technically this isn't a new release of the shipping version then and more of a look at features down the road.

Conquering Your Move: Part 4 - Moving In
In this final installment of the four-part "Conquering Your Move" series, Stephen explains how to properly handle the actual move-in day in order to keep yourself stress-free. And, in case you missed it, be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3!
Part 4: Moving In
If you've gone through the appropriate steps to allow yourself to have a stress free move then unpacking shouldn't be too difficult. But even though it's the easier part of the move there are a few small points I wanted to make.
Assembling Furniture
Hopefully your couch and piano made it over in one piece. But most likely there are a few items that need to be reassembled. I suggest you take the time to set up your bed first. The last thing you'd want is to finish a long move and have to sleep on the floor. There's no reason to let this happen.
If you find that you don't remember how to put things back together and the manual isn't available online, you can often have instructions sent to you from the manufacturer. Do a quick online search with the manufacturer and model name of your furniture and you're bound to find instructions to assist with the assembly.
Clean That New Place
If you're moving into a new home make sure you clean your furniture before arranging it. Start off fresh. If your new place is dirty get on your knees and do some scrubbing or call in a service for a few hundred dollars and have them do a deep clean. Again there is nothing like sleeping in some other persons dust bunnies.
Stop The Clutter Cycle… Use Your Closets
It's easy to clutter up your home when unpacking. It can become a little intimidating when you have to move it all around.
If you can manage, fill your closets first—even if it's only temporary.
Use the same principle I mentioned before. If you have not used it in nine months get rid of it. If you forgot you had it….get rid of it.
De-clutter and Recycle
When you're all done you'll have papers, boxes and other items left over. Getting rid of boxes can be as easy as a quick post on Craigslist. People buy anything on there and you can avoid throwing them out.
Remember, "Re-use what's still good for the good of others."
Before you even think about throwing something out search for you're nearest junk removal company. There are many out there and they send people to your home to remove unwanted items. Some of them take great care of the items and do amazing things with them within the recycling community.
Again, like movers, not all junk companies are made alike. Like your move, keep focused, stay calm and carry on. If you have any questions I follow the bird on twitter: @stephenbienko. Let me know your thoughts or questions.Thanks for enjoying our 4-part series! If you'd like to have a professional mover handle your move from start to finish, call the HUNKS today at 1-800-586-5872 or schedule your stress-free move online by clicking right here!

Helicopters rescue NC hiker from Sandy snow drifts
Man calls for help on cellphone
A 56-year-old hiker on a remote section of the Appalachian Trail was rescued after being overwhelmed by 5-foot snow drifts left behind by Superstorm Sandy.
Steven Ainsworth, of Washington, N.C., called 911 on Thursday afternoon and said he was in deep snow and he was having problems with his feet because of the cold, according to Great Smoky Mountain National Park representative Molly Schroer.
Ainsworth spoke to dispatchers again Friday morning and said he was hunkering down and might not be able to hike out.
Two rangers trying to reach him walked nine hours on Thursday before taking shelter.
Schroer said rescuers used two helicopters Friday afternoon to pick up Ainsworth. She said his condition was being assessed at an airport in Gatlinburg, Tenn.
The area on the Tennessee-North Carolina border where Ainsworth ended up is the most remote section of the entire Appalachian Trail.

Team USA's mound of problems in World Baseball Classic
- Team USA has a strong lineup%2C but a thin pitching staff for the World Baseball Classic
- Clayton Kershaw%2C David Price and Jered Weaver are among top USA starters not participating
- The Americans posted a 5.99 ERA in reaching the 2009 semifinals
The U.S. squad for the World Baseball Classic is loaded with at least one All-Star at every position, as well as three MVP award winners.
But whether at the major league or international level, pitching carries the day, and Team USA's quest to make the tournament finals for the first time in three tries will probably hinge on its mound staff.
The group of pitchers revealed when the provisional U.S. roster was announced this morning included reigning NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, San Francisco Giants postseason stud Ryan Vogelsong and Texas Rangers lefty Derek Holland, a solid cast but neither as deep nor as decorated as the list of position players.
Among the notables in what should be a fearsome lineup are catcher Joe Mauer, first baseman Mark Teixeira, third baseman David Wright and outfielders Ryan Braun, Giancarlo Stanton and Adam Jones.
It's hard to point to the position players on Team USA and bemoan who's not there, such as Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen.
The pitching? That's another story, as American pitchers sitting out the WBC are a virtual who's who of recent award winners.
Justin Verlander, David Price and Clayton Kershaw, who have won three of the last four Cy Youngs, apparently will stand down, as will other top-notch starters like Jered Weaver, Matt Cain, Cole Hamels, Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez.
Even 40-year-old Andy Pettitte, expected to participate, ducked out at the last minute.
That once again underscores the Americans' plight when competing in an event that other countries clearly take more seriously than its nation of origin.
Be it because of indifference, reluctance to change their training schedule, fear of injury, pressure from their teams or a combination of all, the elite U.S. pitchers typically eschew the WBC.
Not surprisingly, then, Team USA has gone 7-7 in an event Japan has won both previous times, with Daisuke Matsuzaka – a starting pitcher, for those who have forgotten about him – twice earning MVP honors.
The American team went 4-4 with a 5.99 ERA in reaching the 2009 semifinals, and 3-3 with a 3.75 ERA while getting bounced out in the second round in 2006.
Organizers have bent and twisted the rules to appease injury concerns among pitchers and those who care for them, establishing pitch limits that have been moved down to 65 for a first-round game, 80 in the second and 95 in the semifinals and final, according to Foxsports.com.
That still wasn't enough to draw the game's best starters. Among the U.S.-born pitchers who finished in the top 10 in ERA in either the American or the National League last season, only Dickey – a career journeyman whose mastery of the knuckleball resulted in a magical year – signed up to wear the red, white and blue.
That may not be enough both to throttle the power-packed lineups of the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, but also match up against their pitchers.
Venezuelan manager Luis Sojo will have the luxury of choosing between All-Stars Elvis Andrus and Asdrubal Cabrera as his starting shortstop, and probably will shift Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera back to first base to make room at third for World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval.
The DR has 10 All-Stars on its roster and may not have a fielding position for former batting champ Hanley Ramirez, what with Adrian Beltre at third, Jose Reyes at shortstop and Robinson Cano at second. Ramirez may wind up as the DH.
And first-round host Puerto Rico, which has seen its talent base diminish in recent years, can still lean on a productive outfield that includes Carlos Beltran, Alex Rios and Angel Pagan, and also on five-time Gold Glove-winning catcher Yadier Molina.
These clubs, too, suffer from a dearth of elite starters, but Venezuela poses a notable exception with right-handers Felix Hernandez and Anibal Sanchez, who could give their country an edge if they perform up to their standards.
Hernandez is slated to start in the highly anticipated Pool C opener against the Dominicans, who don't have Cincinnati Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto back for a second WBC appearance. Instead, their rotation is headed by Edinson Volquez, Wandy Rodriguez and Alexi Ogando. Reyes, a member of the 2009 Dominican team that was embarrassed by losing twice in the first round to The Netherlands, told the MLB Network during its announcement show that his home country is seeking atonement.
"No matter what people say or what's in the press, we need to prove what kind of team we have, because in the past two Classics we weren't able to do anything,'' Reyes said. "We're going to be more serious and try to get the cup to the Dominican Republic.''
Final rosters are not due till Feb. 20, so some things may change. Verlander, for one, is said to be contemplating joining the U.S. cause if his early spring goes well.
And to be sure, the American contingent won't lack for marquee names. Paul Archey, MLB's senior VP of international business operations, pointed out players like Teixeira, Jimmy Rollins, Braun, Wright and Shane Victorino are in for a second tour of duty in the WBC, a sign that recruiting them has gotten easier.
"That says a lot about their experience and their desire to represent their country,'' Archey said.
Pitchers are certainly no less patriotic. One of these days, more of them may overcome their hang-ups and join in. Until then, Team USA will be playing at a disadvantage.

Department of Mineral Resources - Home
The Department of Mineral Resources is the FIG regulatory body charged with oversight of the offshore oil and gas industry and any onshore mining or mineral exploration that may take place. Core responsibilities include the role of licensing authority, offshore health and safety enforcement, and offshore environmental approvals.
The primary focus at the present time is exploration for offshore oil and gas through the award of various Production Licences within the Falkland Islands Designated Area. The Designated Area is the area declared under Proclamation No. 1 of 1991, and follows the outline of the fishery conservation zones declared around the Falklands in the 1980s. A map of the Designated Area, and current licensees, is available here.
The Department follows a model of procuring specialist external advice from a variety of subject matter experts in geoscience, offshore safety, licensing, environmental regulation, and such other matters as may be required. To facilitate this advice, DMR has long term contractual arrangements in place with established international bodies.
As a self-governing British Overseas Territory, law in the Falkland Islands largely resembles UK controlling legislation in many areas. For offshore oil and gas regulation, this means the Falkland Islands implements its own legislation mirroring much of the equivalent in the UK North Sea, widely regarded as being among the highest standards worldwide.
For an overview of the offshore area please see our regional geology page.
View our exploration history page for more information.
View our current exploration page for more information on activity taking place at the moment. The latest Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) guidance, approved EIS and approved Waste Management Plans are avilable here.
For more information on licences, visit our production licence page or our exploration licence page (please note, exploration licences are designed for seismic surveys or similar, while general oil exploration including drilling is allowed under production licences).
More information and downloads on the regulatory framework are available in our downloads, health & safety, environmental and fiscal regime sections.

People who bought this also watched
Micropilot FMR10 is a sensor for continuous level measurement for liquids in storage tanks, open basins, pump shafts and canal systems.
The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method (ToF). It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system.

"The Micropilot FMR10 radar [level sensor] was installed in November [2016]. According to my observations and my colleagues', who operated the sensor, it is characterized by the simplicity of its two-wire electrical connection. Thanks to Bluetooth communication, we were able to connect with the sensor without any need climb on the tank and we parameterized it according to our needs (the previous device was very inconvenient to set up). The best feature of the radar FMR10 is its fast adaptability to the measured levels and to the requirements of the PLC controller without the need of any interference in the program."
