I think the Jaime/Brienne/Stoneheart plot is the one we know least about, so I would definitely want to hear from Jaime (or Brienne).
We can infer some things from the text and GRRM's hints, I'd say we know quite a lot about them. We can assume Stoneheart wants to use Jaime to infiltrate the forces that have taken Edmure, who is with Jeyne Westerling the last time we heard of him. Also Sybelle trusts Jaime, because he is a Lannister and she made a deal with them, and might need him to infiltrate her too. He needs to be alive for this. Much of this whole plotline will unfold in the Prologue.
I don't see Jaime dying before Cersei burning King's Landing tbh.
I agree with you that Jaime is not dead, but I think the reason why is a little unclear. LSH would probably want to hang Jaime within the first five seconds of seeing him but for some reason seemingly hasn't. Was there a trial that Jaime somehow won (if there was, it would be a nice parallel to Tyrion's trial in AGOT). Although the prologue theory definitely has legs, I'm not sure Jaime needs to be present for it to work (especially if it is just the case of an ambush led by someone like the Blackfish). Red Wedding 2.0 also gets thrown about a bit as an option. So I'm not sure it's as clear cut as we think. There is also the matter of Brienne; is she still with him? Is she still alive? She's a POV character too.
My choice too
Every POV has been seen in some form since ADWD came out. Either as ADWD POV, a TWOW sample, or briefly met by Jaime (Brienne).
The only exception is sam. We haven't heard from him and his SUPER interesting old town plot since AFFC. And he was only in oldtown for one chapter! I need more.
I'm scared, cuz his Oldtown plot is clearly important, but he hasn't even been there a day (in his POV chapter). Same with Dany needing to go all the way to Vaes Dothrak and back, while still needing to get to Westeros at some point.
I doubt Dany gets to Westeros before the end of twow tbh
I could see that being the end of the book. The wall falling coupled with Danny sailing for westeros
The end of the series too, most likely. A cool set-up, and GRRM knows the danger of an unsatisfying ending
That's how I see it going down too. Maybe an epilogue of someone getting killed by others (preferably Stannis, that'd be a good end for him and we'd get a pov of him)
Davos on Skagos, bring it
I like how that sounds. "Davos on Skagos".
That should be a whole spin off series. Gillian's Island Style..... but with cannibals and a maybe a dragon
JonCon. I'm dying for more information on Aegons invasion
They march on Storm's End, Tyrells go down to meet them in siege-mode, but Aegon attacks them in the field with help from Tarlys. Storm's End taken, Aegon calls banners, Crownlands rallies to him. The Faith takes over Tyrell-free King's Landing, then hands it over to Aegon, who pledges to re-take the Ironborn-raided Oldtown. He is crowned by the Faith, surrounded by happy Reach-fed peasants, then Dany shows up.
Jon Conn!!!
I want to know the nature of Jon's rez, but also could really use a Sam POV because the Oldtown plot is the one I'm most interested in right now.
Asha. Battle of Ice. I wanna know what happened.
I can't wait for Jon to wake up from his wounds. I want to see what he does next.
Just give us a stannis the mannis chapter before he dies or fails
I think he'll be killed by the Others rather than another human.
Bran. Still with bloodraven, communicating through trees, seeing the past, can't wait!
Victarion, Barristan, or Tyrion at Meereen. I want to know what happens when Numbskull has Dragonbinder blown.

A. Introduction and overview
1. The claimant's preliminary points heard at the hearing before Master Simons were resolved as follows:
(i) the defendant was entitled to terminate the retainer as a result of the closure of the solicitors practice on 27 December 2013.
B. The Background Facts
B1 The litigation
(1) disclosure and inspection were to be completed during February 2014;
(2) witness statements were to be exchanged on 7 March 2014, with supplemental witness statements served by 21 March 2014; and
(3) all parties were to file and serve skeleton arguments by 29 April 2014.
B2 The retainer
[29] We may decide to stop acting for you only with good reason, for example, if you do not pay an interim bill or comply with our request for a payment on account. We must give you reasonable notice that we will stop acting for you.
[30] If you or we decide that we will no longer act for you, you will pay our charges on an hourly basis and expenses.
B3 Termination of the retainer
9. The first question is whether the Firm is entitled to any payment at all given that it has ceased to practice. As I understand it, this is not a question of fact, but a question of law. I am advised that the cessation of the Firm's practice cannot affect its entitlement to charge for work done before the cessation. I accept that there may be issues about how much it can properly charge, but those issues are not before the court on the preliminary issue. I shall therefore leave my legal representatives to deal with the points of law in the skeleton argument which is to be prepared for the hearing of the preliminary issue.
7. I had a meeting with HM on 5th June 2013, at which I discussed the proceedings, and they agreed to represent me in them. They sent me a "terms of business" letter on 7th June 2013 [pages 1 - 5] which set out the basis upon which they would act for me
8. I expected them to represent me until the proceedings were concluded.
9. The proceedings developed over the course of the following months, and a case management hearing was held on 20th December 2013. At that hearing, which I attended along with HM, the Court set out a timetable for the future conduct of the case [pages 6 - 7]. There were numerous directions, including the matter being listed for a lengthy trial in April 2014.
10. There had been no suggestion whatsoever that there was any difficulty with HM's firm when I met with them at Court on 20th December. In fact I received letters from them dated 24th December 2013 and 27th December which, again, mentioned no difficulties.
11. I cannot now recall precisely how it was communicated to me, but on or shortly after 27th December 2013, I received a communication from HM to the effect that they were ceasing to trade, were closing down or had closed down with effect from 27th December 2013, and would not be able to provide me with any representation at all. A copy of the announcement from their website is at [pages 8 - 11]. I cannot now recall whether exactly the same wording was sent to me by letter or email, or whether I received a telephone call, but the information contained within the website announcement that I have exhibited was in effect the information that was communicated to me on or shortly after 27th December 2013.
12. At this point I simply did not know what to do. I was aware that the trial in my case was fast approaching, and that various steps needed to be dealt with in accordance with the court's directions. I was however deep in my studies so did not immediately make contact with other solicitors, but planned to do so.
13. I was contacted I believe in mid to late January by Mr Shusheel Gill, who had been dealing with my case at HM, to say that he had now found employment at Lexton Law Solicitors. Lexton Law then wrote to me by letter dated 4th February 2014 [page 12]. I signed the form of authority that they sent to me in that letter, and they then acted for me until the case was successfully concluded.
In the majority of cases the firms closed in an orderly manner, dealing appropriately with client files and monies.
C. Relevant legal principles
But it has been held that in such a case a solicitor cannot throw his client over at the last moment which might be ruin to the client, and, even though the solicitor may have good cause for declining to act further for the client, he must give him reasonable notice of his intention to do so.
The result seems to me to be that, though there may be valid reasons for giving such a notice, if no such notice is given, the contract of the solicitor is an entire contract, and he cannot sue for his costs before the termination of the action.
D. The master's judgment and the rival arguments
D1 The master's judgment
29. The final aspect which seems to me to be of importance is, was there reasonable notice, and this is a much more difficult point, and I accept what Mr McGee says that this must be fact specific in this case. Mr Dunne says that the solicitors have known from October that there was a possibility that their practice would be closed down by the Solicitors Regulation Authority if they could not find insurance in that time, and he says that the solicitors would have known right up until December that they were under threat of closing down, but they still gave no indication to the client that this might be the case. Mr Dunne is right when he says there is no evidence as to what the position was as to whether or not the solicitors were endeavouring to obtain insurance during this time. But I do not accept the point necessarily that the solicitors knew, or the person dealing with the case, who was clearly not one of the partners, knew what the situation was himself and still failed to tell the client that the practice was closing down even though he was dealing with him right up until a few days before the firm cased to trade. And I ask myself at any time would it be commercially sensible for solicitors to warn their client that they might be closing down because they cannot get proper professional insurance. It seems to me that solicitors would be running a very high risk by telling every client that there is a risk that we might be closed down, but we have to give you reasonable notice.
30. Again I accept Mr McGee's point that one has to look at the way the solicitors behaved. They did not give notice, and I can understand the reasons why they did not give any notice, because they could not. It was not until the very last minute, two days before the period they were given by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for them to stop the firm from trading, and they said they were closing down. One has to look at what they then did. They informed the client on their website that the client had to go and get other solicitors, this is the procedure and they have to go to other solicitors and the defendant would make arrangement with these new solicitors. The defendant in this case, once it was contacted by the new solicitors, passed the document on without demanding any payment of their fees so that the client could continue with his case.
31. So I do not accept the submission that no reasonable notice was given in the circumstances of this particular case. As I indicated before, I do think that is it is an appropriate analogy to say that if I find that, given the circumstances of this case, there will always be a difficulty in the case of bankruptcy of a solicitor or the intervention of a solicitors' firm, or the death of a solicitor, to say well this termination was done without notice and, therefore, the solicitors are not entitled to recover any fees.
D2 The rival arguments
(1) The master erred in law by making a finding based on assumptions unsupported by evidence;
(2) the master erred in law because, where no notice is given prior to termination it is incumbent upon the firm to justify why they were unable to inform their client of the need, mid-litigation, to find new representation; and
(3) where, as here, the firm do not make any attempt to explain the circumstances or justify the decision it must follow that the court will find that reasonable notice was not given.
4. The Appeal is of course by way of review, not rehearing. So the question is whether this decision is one which was open to the Master on the facts before him. It will be noted that at the hearing Appellant took points about the lack of evidence as to what Respondent did to seek alternative insurance. However, the Master's decision is not based on evidence as to what steps the Respondent took to secure alternative insurance. Rather, he relies on the commerciality of the decision to keep their difficulties to themselves for as long as possible. He takes the view that this was a reasonable way for them to behave.
5. It is submitted that this is a view which he was entitled to take. It cannot be regarded as being outside the reasonable range of conclusions which he might have reached.
6. Respondent goes further by arguing that Master Simons' decision was not merely permissible; it was obviously correct. No firm of solicitors is likely to see it as commercially sensible to admit that it cannot obtain indemnity insurance until the latest possible date. To do so would be commercial suicide, and it is entirely understandable that Respondent here did not do so.

Flash-Fiction with the words "I don't trust them."
|Do you ever wonder about how each person could have different perceptions of colors? What is yellow to me, maybe green to someone else. It seems absurd to think of the Sun being green. But there's no way to know whether we all see the same color when we look up at the sky.
An old couple moved into my neighborhood a few days ago. I was always friendly with everyone in my community. Though I sensed something was off with them, I interacted with them like I would with anyone else. The wife, Mrs. Grendale, and I went running every other day. Mr. Grendale and I constantly bickered about the recent TV show we'd just watched. They looked to be good-natured people, and yet no one else spoke to them. I guess people did not trust them for whatever reason.
It was a Saturday. My best friend Naina and I had our Yoga class in the community gym. As we walked on the sidewalk, deep in conversation, someone caught the corner of my eye. It was the Grendales- on the other side of the road.
"Good morning!" I waved.
Naina looked at me with wide eyes.
"Am I just blind, or were you waving at someone?" she asked.
"Don't be mean. It's the Grendales. I don't trust them fully either, but-" I simply said.
"Didn't that couple die years ago in a car crash? Hayley, there's no one there," she looked scared.
"But they- "I turned to have another look, and they were gone.
I convinced myself that I wasn't going mad.
"Just because someone sees something others can't, doesn't make it less real," I spoke slowly.
I'd never seen Naina look more afraid.

There are dots which show if whatyou're looking for and exactly what she is currently looking for align. The more green dots, the longer the two of you fit up. If there were a lot of Ravensworth Ontario local sluts looking to fuck dots, I would write in the name, " We are just like a ninety- five percent game. " In the body, I would write, " That's impressive. We should talk. " And I would put my name in the bottom of the email. Sometimes I would say something like, " If I could make you laugh, we ought to speak. Were you aware that Michael Jackson was able to live in Ireland? He travelled by his Irish name which was PadO'File. " Again I would place my name on the bottom of the emailaddress. I'd adjust the name based on the green dots. I would place xvideo real hookers Ravensworth ON- five percentage, ninety percent, how to fuck local sluts in my area Ravensworth ON, or a hundred per cent. I didn't write When it was that.

At this point, since lasting long is second nature, you're not trying hard to please her. Concentrating on her pleasure takes the burden of stimulation your shoulders off andyou're going to last.
When she is a buddy, Regrettably, men in the Friendzone often put that woman on a pedestal. She looks at you only as a friend. Her love for you is that of a buddy. Regrettably, she knows she is on that pedestal, and it is flattering.
You may think there is not anything on your account that is worth anything to anyone. But someone who finds your safety issue out and understands your email address can get your accounts, change your password so you can't access it.
Among the wonderful things about online dating is how it lets you be as selective as you could possibly desire in regards to finding a potential mate. . . regardless of how outré or specific.

Looking for the lacto- ovo- pescatarian of your dreams? You can let people know that meat- eaters need not apply. . .
You see, people can hurt your body and your body will heal. But your mind becomes damaged and when your heart will get hurt, it takes more time to cure. In certain cases, in fact, it is impossible to put the genie back in the bottle after it is out.
Messages studied in detail. They are the vital ingredients to construct. To prove it's a study conducted by a team from Princeton's American University. Studies have shown that posture plays an essential role in bringing the opposite gender. Anybody who manages to display throughout the profile picture, but from another shots posted on his local hairdressers being sluts Ravensworth ON, a expansive and constructive attitude is more likely to impress. Any examples? According to scientists, the arms must be turned outwards rather than flexed, not and while the legs must be spread crossed. Positions of this type convey a message that is dominant and secure, able to draw the interest of the potential partner. To reach this conclusion the researchers observed the non- verbal language of animals. " We understood that specimens which presume a position that may maximize their physical presence within a space send a sign of attraction to the opposite sex, " they say. And this applies to men, even when relationships are filtered from the Web. To discover, the team created two profiles attributed to the individual. In the very first a posture was employed by them, in the moment one that was a more timid and submissive. The outcome confirmed their thesis: that the profile raised as numerous requests. Of course to get more chances of succeeding there are other rules.

He had recently begun going back to church on a regular basis, although he wasn't a passionate Christian, as many of the men had claimed to be. I was very hesitant about relationship, given my previous experiences with" godly" men. I was particularly on my shield.
That explains why a married guy will work hard to resolve any issues he would have with his wife. He is prompted by his commitment.
Or Ms. Wonderful, don't think, " I don't know how much time I could hold out. . . " since the thought that follows is" so when I'm likely to fail, it may also be correct now. " Instead, think, " I promised myself I would be abstinent TODAY.
It is me. There is something wrong with me which I'm not able to see. Perhaps I am doing something incorrect.

I am myself when meeting someone new and that I do not pretend to be somebody that I am not. I am not large maintenance. I am not over posture. I am not controlling.
What would you do? Though there might be reasons to not ladies, the reasons to date them often outweighs the otherwise. Additionally, dating differs from getting married. Again we can't generalize. At least, I'm quite fine relationship a Chinese girl.

Just to be sure, I'd dressed up a little: my favorite rings, a pair of sandals. It was my very first interview that is second, after all, and a small departure from my original concept. Our roles had been reversed- somehow I had been the person searching for the just- a- friend job.
Slump was over, and that I rode high on the matches that came my way. By now, I could easily pick and choose which ones I was considering. I replied to everybody who" winked, " " enjoyed, " or" favorited" me, thanking them, telling them whether I had been interested in pursuing a further connection. It was like working a conveyor belt.

Advise to those of you going to university next yr
Canadian Universities Forum
(discussion group)
Subject: Advise to those of you going to university next yr
I m Sasan, 27yrs old.
Graduated from Western in 2003 havin gone through electrical engineering, Western was relatively easy and my marks were ok. I did my grad skool at UofT for a year and a half and finished it.
I am now employed makin about $75k.
-Here is my advise to you for undergrad:
Go to a school where you get high marks and lotta money (Scholarships and Bursaries). like Western. I got about average of $3500 every year for very normal marks.
Usually overpopulated skools like Ryerson are harder to go through and they re so fu**in stingy they wont give u a dime.
If you cant balance ur social life with studying do not go to Western or fun skools as such.
-If you are willing to go to grad skool:
well if you took my advise for undergrad, you are most probably ok to go to a good grad skool like UofT since u have high marks. and if you didn most probably u have never made it anyway.
I should have never gone to grad skool. I got my job based on my western degree only. but whatever maybe later it ll become useful. don ever go to fuckin Ryerson, unless you are ugly so you ll blend in.

I love your fake story, but Western rocks!

Immigrants in Canada: Have Ph.D, must sweep
By Clifford Krauss
VANCOUVER, British Columbia: Gian Sangha wanted to work so badly that he cut his hair and removed his turban for job interviews, even though it compromised his Sikh beliefs. He sent hundreds of resumes. He prayed fervently and finally bought a Buddha statue for good luck.
But Sangha, 55, an environmental scientist from India, could not seem to get a job in Canada, his adopted country, despite a doctorate from Germany, two published books and university teaching experience in the United States.
"Here in Canada, there is a hidden discrimination," Sangha said over cups of Indian tea and spicy pakoras, or fritters, in the dining room of his home in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey.
To scrape by, he once cut lawns. Now he does clerical work and shares his house with his extended family. It was not supposed to be this way in Canada, which years ago put out a welcome mat to professionals from around the developing world.
With a declining birth rate, an aging population and labor shortages in many areas, Canada, a sparsely populated nation, has for decades opened its doors to engineers, health professionals, software designers and electricians.
But the results of this policy have been mixed, for Canada and for the immigrants. Recent census data and academic studies indicate that the incomes and employment prospects for immigrants are deteriorating.
Specialists say a growing number of immigrants have been forced to rely on unemployment insurance and welfare, and some have returned to their homelands or migrated to the United States.
About 25 percent of recent immigrants with university degrees are working at jobs that require only high school diplomas or less, government data show.
"The most mobile workers in the world come to Canada and find themselves immobilized," said Faviola Fernandez, a teacher from Singapore who became an immigrant advocate after finding the process of getting a teaching license in Canada so unwieldy that she gave up.
Over the past decade, the country has attracted 200,000 to 250,000 immigrants a year.
As a percentage of the population, that is triple the rate in the United States. Canada´s largest cities are ethnic diverse. One in every six people in Canada is an immigrant, giving it the world´s second-largest proportion of immigrants. Only Australia´s is higher.
Officials in South Africa and other countries have even begun to complain to Canadian officials that they are losing talent trained in their universities in a brain drain they can ill afford.
But highly skilled immigrants, who are nearly half of those who come here, frequently drive taxis and trucks, work in factories or as security guards and hope their children will do better.
The Canadian public continues to support the government´s goal of increasing immigration, and relations among ethnic groups are good, though neighborhoods in some cities are becoming more segregated. But some fear that if opportunities for immigrants do not expand, social cohesion may suffer.
"The existing system is broken," said Jeffrey Reitz, a sociologist who studies immigration at the University of Toronto. "The deteriorating employment situation might mean that Canada will not be able to continue this expansionist immigration program in the positive, politically supported environment that we´ve seen in the past."
Reitz estimates that foreign-educated immigrants earn a total of $2 billion less than an equivalent number of native-born Canadians with comparable skills because they work in jobs below their training levels. Using census data, he found that in 1980, new immigrant men earned 80 percent of the salaries of Canadian-born men. That proportion has dropped to less than 70 percent.
He concludes that immigrant earnings in Canada are declining to the lower levels of the United States, where the skill levels of immigrants tend to be lower.
Academic specialists and immigrant advocates say that discrimination is one of the many reasons for the problem. Native-born Canadians are better educated now than 25 years ago, so immigrants have more competition, some specialists note. But all agree that professional organizations and provincial licensing agencies have been slow to recognize foreign professional qualifications. The children of immigrants, who enter the job market with Canadian credentials, typically do better at acquiring high-paying jobs, immigration specialists note.
"We have an arcane infrastructure of professional organizations that essentially mitigate against the immediate integration of these highly skilled immigrants," Joe Volpe, the minister of citizenship and immigration, said in an interview.
"It´s a shame we have a shortage of doctors, and yet we have thousands of foreign-trained medical doctors and we don´t recognize their credentials," he said. "We haven´t found an easy way of assessing their qualifications."
Volpe said he was concerned that news from disappointed job seekers would seep back to their native countries and discourage qualified people from immigrating. In a recent speech, Volpe committed more than $250 million over five years to pay for programs to accelerate professional integration.
Since the Canadian Embassy in India and a Canadian immigration consultant encouraged Sangha, the environmental scientist, to move his family to Canada in 1996, he has not had a single job that fits his qualifications. He would have left Canada long ago, he says, if not for his two children, who have become acclimated to Canada and are now young adults. In 2001, Sangha was turned down for a job as an environmental inspector with an agency of the Northwest Territories government. He took the case to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, where it is under consideration.
The territorial government agency told the commission that Sangha had been rejected because he was overqualified and would have become bored. But Sangha said in an interview that during his job interview, an agency official had interrupted him and not paid attention to his responses, and that he was a victim of discrimination.
"It´s a painful life," he said. "I´m angry and frustrated. I never thought it would be like this in Canada."

not canada fanboy, if you spent half as much time trying to get a job as you do whining about canada, you´d be a fucking millionaire by now.

I went to Ryerson for my Bcom in information technology mangement. I was recruited from a campus career fair. I obtained a business analyst job making 60K before I even graduated. 10 of my friends from the program also immediately found jobs and are making over 50K. On top of that, I did not pay a dime for school! Ryerson gave me a 20K scholorship. My friend who did very poorly in high school received a 10K scholorship from writting an essay! On a side note, the HR hiring manager who interviewed me told me that the best selling point on my resume was my Bcomm from Ryerson. By the way, top execs like to hire students from their alma mater. Guess where mine graduated from?

Sasan - just to rebut your comment about ugly students, Miss Universe 2005 graduate from Ryerson University´s School of Information Technology Mangement in 2004. If you think that the most beautiful women in the universe is ugly you...well, I won´t say what you must be. We Ryerson alum have class.

2019 Trucking Industry Summit
The 2019 Trucking Industry Summit prepared trucking industry insiders to cope with more stringent compliance issues
With a headline that read 'Industry compliance just got tougher, are you at risk?', it seemed like the sensible thing to do was for us to hop on a plane and head down to the Sudima in Christchurch to find out what it was all about.
The event was presented by the NZ Trucking Association and featured a list of speakers from organisations such as NZ Police CVST unit, NZ Transport Agency, and Worksafe NZ.
The primary purpose of the summit was to prepare trucking industry insiders to cope with more stringent compliance issues, which are either on the horizon or are already in place.
It also provided an opportunity for the Road Transport Forum's new CEO, former Porirua mayor Nick Leggett, to introduce himself to the members in person.
Nick was recently appointed to the role upon the retirement of the organisation's long-standing CEO Ken Shirley. The well-timed summit fell on the eve of the introduction of the Employment Amendment Act 2018 in which employers with 20 or more staff will have greater restrictions placed upon the 90-day trial period, to name just one facet of the Act, which took effect as of 6 May 2019.
In his introduction to the day's programme, NZ Trucking Association CEO and master of ceremonies for the day, David Boyce, gave an overview of what the 200 or so attendees could expect to glean from the day's programme in respect of the increased level of compliance and regulatory changes currently being introduced.
He also said that there would be a Q&A session and networking opportunity at the end of the day's programme in which the transport operators would be able to speak directly to the regulators and gain some answers to the burning questions of the day.
The session proved to be (for this writer at least) the most interesting component of the day with some well-crafted questions being asked of the legislators and enforcement officers.
One delegate suggested that the summit could perhaps have had a greater focus on what can be done in order to attract young people into the industry, citing an earlier quotation in which it was stated that the industry is currently short of some 4000 drivers across the country.
She went on to say that during a recent visit to the US, she met drivers who proudly wore badges for various good driving milestones and asked if similar initiatives had been considered in New Zealand.
This, and other questions pertaining to the state of our roads to the ever-increasing cost of compliance were generally answered by reiterating the theme of the day, that while we're here to be helpful, firm but fair, the onus is always on the operator, both owners and drivers, to manage all risks in a responsible manner.
While it appeared that the CVST, NZTA, and WorkSafe presenters were genuine in their desire to be as flexible and consultative as humanly possible when dealing with industry issues, a sceptic would be well aware that the organisations that pay these officers wages are largely funded by collecting fines from errant companies and individuals.
As to whether the legislators live up to their promise of being firm as well as fair, only time will tell.
The NZ Trucking Industry Summit in a nutshell
NZ Police CVST unit
Major concerns
- Not wearing seat bels
- Distraction and fatigue
- Poor vehicle condition
- Vehicles found to be not up to COF standards at roadside checks
- Weight and permit breaches
- Non-compliance with work-time rules (log book breaches)
- And, of course, speed
- Rollout of 12 nationwide Commercial Safety Centres (checkpoints)
- The majority of fatal and serious crashes involving driver distraction occur during peak commuting times, morning and night
- No mention made of drivers of private motorcars travelling on the wrong side of the road
Introduction from Kane Patena, newly-appointed general safety manager, regulatory, who promised the NZTA would continue to be a "firm but fair" regulator.
- 73% of all work-related fatalities involve a vehicle
- Risks involved around handling dangerous goods
- Risks associated with inhalation of diesel fumes
- Loading and unloading
- Risk of slips, trips, and falls
- Risk of crushing and working around forklifts
The early 20th-century comedian WC Fields once said, "The world's becoming a very dangerous place; in fact, it's unlikely we'll ever get out of it alive".
We can only hope that our 21st-century legislators can be as equally adroit when setting out the rules we'll be forced to live by.

Fels-Naptha is a bar soap that has been used to remove stains from laundry for over a hundred years. It is still available on the market, usually next to laundry soap and stain removers.
Lazarus Fels and his son Abraham founded Fels and Company in Baltimore. The business eventually failed and Lazarus Fels's brother Joseph became a salesman representing two Philadelphia soap manufacturing businesses. He eventually purchased Thomas Worsley and Company and renamed it Fels and Company of Philadelphia. The business remained in the control of the Fels family until it was sold to the Purex Corporation in 1964. The Fels family were philanthropists, and contributed to a variety of worthy causes, including the establishment of two arts and crafts communities, one of which in Arden, Delaware still exists.
Fels-Naptha contains solvents that dissolves greasy stains, including oil and grease, perspiration, chocolate, baby formula and cosmetics. The wet bar is rubbed into stains before putting clothes into the washing machine. You can also grate about one-third of an ounce of the bar into the washing machine as a detergent booster. It has been used as a folk remedy for contact dermatitis caused by exposure to poison ivy, poison oak and other skin irritants. However, the Dial company warns that Fels-Naptha should not be used directly on your skin.
Fels-Naptha contains soap consisting of sodium tallowate and sodium cocoate or sodium palmate kernelate and sodium palmate. The word "sodium" refers to sodium hydroxide, the lye used to make soap, in this case with tallow, coconut oil, palm oil or palm kernel oil. It also contains water and talc. Coconut acid, palm acid and tallow acid are fatty acids derived from plants and animals. They are emollients and surfactants, cleaning agents in other words. PEG-6 methyl ether is an extract of juniper. Fels-Naptha also contains glycerin, an emollient; sorbitol, a sugar alcohol derived from fruits, corn and seaweed, a moisturizer; and sodium chloride, ordinary table salt. Pentasodium pentetate and/or tetrasodium etidronate are inorganic salts used as emulsifiers and dispersing agents. Titatium dioxide is an opaque white pigment. The soap also contains fragrance, source not specified and acid orange and acid yellow colors.
Some of the ingredients in Fels-Naptha are of concern, such as titanium dioxide, which is known to contaminate the ocean and lakes and harm wildlife. According to Material Safety Data Sheets, Fels-Naptha is safe for consumer use in the laundry. The MSDS does give warnings about occupational hazards, and those who work with Fels-Naptha soap in industrial settings are required to wear safety gear including goggles and gloves, because it is an irritant.
What is Naphtha?
Naphtha is the name for a petroleum derived solvent, and includes such solvents as gasoline and kerosene. Originally Fels-Naptha contained benzene, another name for naphtha, which dissolves oil and so is very useful for oily stains. This ingredient is what made Fels-Naptha such a success, making it possible for homemakers to get their laundry cleaner with less effort. However, Fels-Naptha no longer contains benzene.

Minority voters will favour BJP in bypolls: P.S. Sreedharan Pillai
Thiruvananthapuram: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president P. S. Sreedharan Pillai said that minority voters will favour the saffron party in the bypolls. He added that minority voters were not afraid of BJP anymore.
"The spiritual leader of Orthodox Church personally invited me to take part in the function held at Kunnamkulam. He honoured me by presenting a ponnada (shawl). That is a huge change and such changes are taking place in most Churches. Accordingly, the BJP will get some more votes from these minorities. Hence, BJP will perform well in most of the seats during the bypoll," Sreedharan Pillai said.
Speaking to Mathrubhumi News, Sreedharan Pillai said that BJP will be with the devotees during the next 'Mandala' season also. He added that United Democratic Front (UDF) was raising vote trade allegation due to fear of losing.

A warm welcome to the The Young Seeds Foundation of Tasmania (YSF) project
The Young Seeds Foundation of Tasmania (YSF) project is managed by a small group of volunteers dedicated to assist some of the most disadvantaged children in the world. In the Southern Sudanese and Northern Ugandan States of Africa, thousands of people remain displaced. Women whom have been sexually violated remain in fear and isolation, many bearing children through the cause of rape, and orphans arise as a daily occurrence. The ravages of war remain constant and relentless.
YSF is committed to provide the right to education for refugee children from South Sudan and some may be living in Kyrandongo Refugee camp in Northern Uganda. By accessing Uganda, these children will develop their capacities and enable them to support others in their country when they eventually qualify as doctors, teachers, mechanics, nurses, and clergy etc.
Young Seeds presently has a small committee of management that is responsible for the allocation of donations and sponsorship to the South Sudan/Uganda operation and to provide the overseeing mechanism to ensure that funding is completely transparent and used for the right cause. To assist us with this process we employ 2 'in-country' coordinators to monitor the financial aspects of school fees and monitor the welfare and educational achievements of students. Okot Vinansio is employed as vice-principal at a local secondary school and has recently attained a Master in Education degree. Oroma John has been with us for many years and provides a safe home for our children during their school holidays.
Young Seeds Foundation is managed by a small team of volunteers based in Tasmania.
Young Seeds was founded in 2010 by Lowilla Okello after visiting a Primary School in his home village of Pajok Payam in Magwi County, South Sudan. Lowilla met with hundreds of disadvantaged children and orphans in the village who asked him to help them to go to school. On his return back to Tasmania, Lowilla initiated a campaign to raise awareness about the educational needs of these children.
A voluntary committee was established to assist in raising awareness and funds to assist refugee children. A sponsorship process was initiated which initially saw 2 young boys being provided the opportunity to attend primary boarding school in Uganda. This country was chosen as it borders South Sudan and the educational levels are much higher. This is seen as crucial as some of the children have aspirations to be doctors. The sponsorship of these initial 2 boys has been in place since mid-2011, and they will both be entering University in 2019 alongside another long-term sponsored student. Two of these will be entering medical school and the other wishes to study international human rights.
We currently have 20 children, 11 girls and 9 boys, sponsored at various levels of education from kindergarten to Senior 6.
Young Seeds is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Nor-For-Profits Commission and is registered with Tasmania Department of Justice; both of these organisations require annual reports demonstrating financial accountability.
YS is also very excited that Global Development Group (GDG) has partnered with us. We are financially accountable to GDG but also accountable in terms of stringent child protection policies and an emphasis on empowerment based projects. Global Development Group was established in 2002, and is an Australian-founded non-government overseas humanitarian development organisation (www.globaldevelopmentgroup.org).
Currently the YSF Committee is comprised of members who originate from South Sudan, local Australian people, as well as a member of the local Bhutanese community in Launceston.
Obviously we could not operate without the generosity of sponsors and donors and to you our heartfelt gratitude. You have provided more than you can ever know for these disadvantaged children.

Protein Supplements: Harmful for Children?
Protein supplement suppliers are now marketing to kids. But should kids actually be taking them? I recently came across protein supplements being recommended to kids as young as 12 months. This had me concerned as there can be many side effects from taking protein supplements for adults. But how could this affect a small child who likely doesn't need to be taking such a thing?

Divisional commissioner's office gets solar boost
NASHIK: As Maharashtra Energy Development Authority (MEDA) celebrates the energy conservation drive, the divisional headquarter of Nashik has now got a 20 KW rooftop solar power harvester, costing Rs 21.80 lakh. "This will set an example for all other government departments on two counts.
First, to cut down the energy bill by 20% and second, to harness renewable energy for which all offices are being asked to keep aside some funds," JV Torane, general manager of MEDA division office, said. The divisional office started functioning since April 2017 and took up propaganda of the policy on 'energy conservation' and on 'harvesting
energy from renewable sources' with all the government departments in the division, including Nashik, Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar districts.
"Recently, the offices of chief conservator of forest, Nashik and the deputy conservator of forest set up the roof top solar power projects. We are pursuing the issue with all
regional and divisional offices and after that with the district headquarters of all government offices. However, the propaganda is also being carried out laterally meaning even the smallest of the offices is being contacted for better implementation of both these policies," Torane said.
On the power saving activities, the official said that the scope of government offices to save power by achieving 20% cut was yet to be assessed. "We have, through our communication, instructed and requested the offices to carry out the energy audit and present their reports. Even the reports of compliance like what correctional measures
have been taken to cut down the power usage need to be submitted," he said. Torane said that the government offices had to achieve 20% cut in power usage by switching over to power saving even as the having the roof-top solar power plant was optional.
He also pointed out that the biggest scope of achieving 20% cut in power consumption was with industries and hence he had plans to take up the issue with Maharashtra
Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and call for workshops. "The idea is to achieve the 20% power cut in peak demand and at the same time use the potential of the renewable (solar) energy available with roof top possibilities in the industries. They have huge potential and results would be simply fabulous," he said..

The Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood Experience
The Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood Experience returns to the Blue Mountains for the first time in well over a year to play two shows at the Baroque Room, Friday 11 December, Early Show 6pm and Late Show, 9pm.
To book your tickets, click the link for your preferred show time in Events Details below.
Fronted by renowned stage, film and television actor Zoe Carides as Nancy, Scott Holmes as Lee, the band rock and country their way through These Boots Are Made for Walking, Jackson, Summer Wine, You Only Live Twice, Sugar Town, Lightning's Girl, Something Stupid, Ladybird, Bang Bang, Up, Up & Away, the trippy Some Velvet Morning and other gems and obscurities from the Nancy & Lee catalogue.
Come and help us celebrate the 1960's weirdest Beauty And The Beast pairing and their iconic pop legacy in louche and baroque style.
Nancy Sinatra's singing career was going nowhere when she was introduced to Duane Eddy writer/producer Lee Hazlewood.
He played her his tune "These Boots Are Made For Walking", told her to "sing like a 16-year-old who goes out with 45-year-old truckers," (that's the clean version) and it became a worldwide hit.
When it finally came time for Nancy to do a duet, she would have no one but her producer, gravelly baritone Lee, thus giving birth to one of pop's oddest and finest Beauty And The Beast pairings - and so followed a string of hits single-handedly creating a genre variously dubbed "saccharine underground" and "cowboy psychedelia".
Now, the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood Experience explores this unique musical pairing and the gems and obscurities from their respective solo careers, in a tribute that camply goes where no band has gone before.
Fronted by renowned stage, film and television actor Zoe Carides as Nancy and Scott Holmes as Lee, this will be the NSLHE's fourth Mountains outing after successful shows at the now defunct Paragon Café and the Springwood Theatre.

The Gunners' record when facing Chelsea and Manchester United is abysmal, losing 14 of their 18 encounters since 2007 and registering only two victories. Chelsea visit Emirates Stadium on Monday night hoping to secure a sixth successive victory over their London rivals having scored 13 goals in their previous five games.
"Of course we have a point to prove given our record against the big teams," said Wenger.
"You have to show that you are up to the level expected from you in these games.
"That's the obstacle to get over. At home in the big games, you want to win.
"We don't really think about the record because the statistics are history and every game is a new start.
"Every player has lost a game before he has won one. One day, he wins. We have to make sure for us that day is on Monday.
"Our statistics recently are against us because we have a very young team.
"But three years ago, we lost the small games and didn't lose the big games but still lost the championship so we have to combine both sides of it.
"We are in a strong position now and we know our home form against the big teams will be the decider for the championship."

Crestal Bone Changes in Different Implants Designs: A Prospective Clinical Trial
Publication History
Publication Date:
31 December 2019 (online)
Objective Several modifications, such as changes in the implant–abutment connection, have been suggested in studies on dental implants to better preserve the peri-implant bone level. The aim of this study was to prospectively compare crestal bone level changes between two different implant designs—tissue level (TL) and bone level (BL).
Materials and Methods The sample comprised 18 patients, on whom a total of 30 hydrophilic tissue- and bone level implants were placed (SLActive, Straumann Institut AG, Basel, Switzerland), in the posterior region of the maxilla or the mandible. Impressions were taken after 45 days of healing. Then, cemented-retained metalloceramic crowns were fabricated and installed. Marginal bone level changes were assessed by the paralleling technique of periapical radiographies, on both mesial and distal aspects of each implant, at the moment of the implant placement and after 1 year of loading. Photoshop software was used to perform linear measurements by a single and calibrated examiner.
Statistical Analysis The Mann–Whitney test at a 5% significance level was used to compare the bone changes among the implants assessed.
Results A significantly lower (p = 0.048) bone remodeling was observed on bone level implants (0.05 mm), when compared to tissue level implants (0.47 mm; p = 0.048). The average marginal bone level changes at the distal aspect did not show any statistically significant difference (p = 0.325).
Conclusions Tissue level implants presented greater bone loss in the mesial surface than bone level implants. Both designs presented stable and clinically acceptable bone crests.

If you love rugby then you know it all starts with club rugby. Like the brown snake flows through our city, a hallmark of identity, club rugby flows through our veins, familiar names, times gone by and times to come. No matter where our lives take us, our clubland connects us back to our roots on our return. Our friendships forged as youngsters last a lifetime. Our lessons learned on the field teach us about mateship and the value of success when forged through adversity.
When it comes to club rugby, we know that on any given game day, anything is possible. No matter what happens, leave it on the field and enjoy everything that follows. In club rugby, anything is possible and in club rugby…divided we play, united we stand.
In the lead up to the finals series, we're reliving some of great stories from club rugby upsets to remind us that anything can happen. Just when you think you've decided who could take out the title...a pop pass or an intercept will have you screaming for your team.
With upsets from the top of the ladder to the bottom, we take a look at our players of the round. We've listed to your feedback through Club.land and we're sharing who our stand-out performers were. Was your team listed? Red on to know more.
Having recently signed out of Club land into the Melbourne Rebels, Rhys Van Neck of Easts Rugby Union is on the cusp of an exciting career move. Having played for uni for most of his youth, he made the switch to Easts two years ago. We take a look at his time in both camps and what he will take from his club rugby experience.

Light – this plant prefers bright indirect sunlight, so in a bright room but no sunshine directly falling on the plant.
Water – water this plant once a week in warmer weather, reducing to every couple of weeks when it's cooler. Where possible, try not to get too much water in the plant base itself as this can lead to rot. Likes some humidity, or occasional mistings.
Temperature – prefers cooler temperatures of around 16-20°C, but keep it away from draughts.
Toxicity – non toxic.
