Jacques Tati Trafic 1971 Movie Posters.
"The first section of "Trafic" reflects the big-canvas style of "Playtime," with gags steadily accruing in a frame that meshes foreground and background and favors visual pleasures over jokes, as in the stunning montage of Altra's assembly lines — a passage involving overhead shots, close-ups, and a symphony of industrial noises that recalls Joris Ivens's 1931 documentary "Philips Radio." There is little dialogue in "Trafic," and most of it is inconsequential, but every shot and sound effect has its reason. A casual remark about stringing measurement wires across the floor leads to a pullback in which workers high-step over them like the ponies Tati mimed in his music hall years."

I hate cleaning the house. I will argue with my significant other over the most trivial things, as long as it keeps me from cleaning. But why do I, and millions of other men, do this? According to this infographic, women do 51% of the house cleaning and 41% of cohabiting couples argue about it.
Over the past year, my girlfriend and I have developed a solution to this problem. Instead of arguing about who does what, how to clean, or when to clean, we've set some guidelines. Every Sunday, we spend one hour or less cleaning, depending on how dirty our house is. We split up the responsibilities and stick to those duties every week. For example, I hate vacuuming and my girlfriend hates moping. So I mop and she vacuums. Problem solved [via]

In December, 20 states recorded unemployment rate increases, 15 states and the District of Columbia registered rate decreases, and 15 states had no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. In Kentucky, the unemployment rate in December was 10.3 percent compared to 10.2 percent in November and in Ohio it was 9.6 percent compared to 9.8 percent in November.
A comparison of the unemployment rate in December 2010 to December 2009, shows 31 states and the District of Columbia posted unemployment rate decreases, 16 states reported increases, and 3 states had no change. Year-over-year the unemployment rate in Kentucky declined 0.3 percent while declining 1.2 percent in Ohio.
In December 2010, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 35 states and the
District of Columbia and increased in 15 states. In Kentucky employment declined between November and December, down 2,800 jobs or 0.2 percent. In Ohio employment also declined, down 9,100 jobs or 0.2 percent.
A comparison of nonfarm payroll employment in December 2010 to December 2009, shows in Kentucky, employment increased 0.7 percent adding 12,000 jobs statewide. In Ohio, nonfarm payroll employment increased 0.1 percent adding 4,500 jobs.
Over the past year, total nonfarm payroll employment in Kentucky increased just 0.1 percent adding 1,900 jobs. In Ohio, total employment declined 1 percent losing 51,900 jobs. While job growth has improved slightly in recent months, it has not been sufficient to noticeably impact the unemployment rate. It does appear however that the labor market has stopped its steep decline.
At the industry level, all of Kentucky's job losses in 2010 occurred in the goods producing sector (down more than 9,000 jobs) while the service providing sector added jobs (up 11,000 jobs). In Ohio, jobs occurred across the board in both public and private sectors and in both goods producing and service providing sectors.

PLEMO Magic Bean 5200mAh External Battery
This is a cute and portable external battery that is ideally suited for charging of cell phones and other small portable electronic devices. It has a funky design that distinguishes it from most of the other devices in the same category, and it's clearly aimed at teens and kids who use electronic gadgets.
The charging capacity of 5200 mAh is sufficient to ideally charge an iPhone twice, although under the real world testings you will most likely not be able to reach that many rechargings. It has one USB output port and hence you can use it to charge one device at the time. It has blue light indicators that will let you know how much of the charge it has left inside. The charging is relatively quick.
This is an overall pretty good product and would recommend it to anyone in a need of an extra battery on the go.
There are no comments yet, add one below.

Except for being a vegetarian, embedding in his works hidden messages to bewilder future generations, being part of a mysterious conspiracy theory that occupied the major part of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Easter sermon last year, and putting the Brown clan in the multi-millionaires' club, Leonardo da Vinci is also known as an artist and a scientist. As far as I'm concerned, the only code to crack here is how Da Vinci managed to intertwine his artistic genius with his scientific talents, and give the world superb paintings and sculptures, as well as outstanding engineering inventions. According to humanistic psychology, brilliant scientists think like artists, because an affinity to the arts enables them to see patterns. Meaning emerges from context and connectedness, and the learning process thrives on the innate skill to perceive underlying sequences and relationships even between apparently unconnected items. The ability to synthesise information facilitates the combination of the jigsaw pieces and the re-creation of the whole. Mainstream, foursquare, analytical thinking relies on logic and builds up on familiar patterns. Maverick, lateral, playful thinking relies on its associative function, which triggers new ideas to fill old patterns. Groundbreaking ideas connect like pieces of a puzzle, forming the scaffolding for a wider view of the whole.

In nature, virtually all thorium is found as thorium-232, and it decays by emitting an alpha particle, and has a half-life of about 14.05 billion years (other, trace-level isotopes of thorium are short-lived intermediates of decay chains). It is estimated to be about four times more abundant than uranium in the Earth's crust and is a by-product of the extraction of rare earths from monazite sands. Thorium was formerly used commonly as (for example) the light source in gas mantles and as an alloying material, but these applications have declined due to concerns about its radioactivity.
Present knowledge of the distribution of thorium resources is poor because of the relatively low-key exploration efforts arising out of insignificant demand. There are two sets of estimates that define world thorium reserves, one set by the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the other supported by reports from the OECD and the International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA). Under the USGS estimate, USA, Australia and India have particularly large reserves of thorium.
Both the IAEA and OECD appear to conclude that India may actually possess the lion's share of world's thorium deposits. The Government of India's latest estimate, shared in the country's Parliament in August 2011, puts the recoverable reserve at 846,477 tonnes.
OECD assessment
India and Australia are believed to possess about 300,000 tonnes each; i.e. each country possessing 25% of the world's thorium reserves.[65] However, in the OECD reports, estimates of Australia's Reasonably Assured Reserves (RAR) of thorium indicate only 19,000 tonnes and not 300,000 tonnes as indicated by USGS. The two sources vary wildly for countries such as Brazil, Turkey, and Australia. However, both reports appear to show some consistency with respect to India's thorium reserve figures, with 290,000 tonnes (USGS) and 319,000 tonnes (OECD/IAEA).
IAEA assessment
The IAEA's 2005 report estimates India's reasonably assured reserves of thorium at 319,000 tonnes, but mentions recent reports of India's reserves at 650,000 tonnes.
The prevailing estimate of the economically available thorium reserves comes from the US Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries (1996–2010).
American estimates in tonnes (2010)
United States: 440,000
Australia: 300,000
Brazil: 16,000
Canada: 100,000
India: 290,000 - 650,000
Malaysia: 4,500
South Africa: 35,000
Other Countries: 90,000
World Total: 1,300,000 - 1,660,000
Note: The OECD/NEA report notes that the estimates (that the Australian figures are based on) are subjective, due to the variability in the quality of the data, a lot of which is old and incomplete.[68] Adding to the confusion are subjective claims made by the Australian government (in 2009, through its "Geoscience" department) that combine the reasonably assured reserves (RAR) estimates with "inferred" data (i.e. subjective guesses). This strange combined figure of RAR and "guessed" reserves yields a figure, published by the Australian government, of 489,000 tonnes. However, using the same criteria for Brazil or India would yield reserve figures of between 600,000 to 1,300,000 tonnes for Brazil and between 300,000 to 600,000 tonnes for India. Irrespective of isolated claims by the Australian government, the most credible third-party and multi-lateral reports, those of the OECD/IAEA and the USGS, consistently report high thorium reserves for India while not doing the same for Australia.
Another estimate of reasonably assured reserves (RAR) and estimated additional reserves (EAR) of thorium comes from OECD/NEA, Nuclear Energy, "Trends in Nuclear Fuel Cycle", Paris, France (2001):
IAEA Estimates in tonnes (2005)
Australia: 489,000 - 19%
Turkey: 344,000 - 13%
India: 319,000 - 12%
Venezuela: 300,000 - 12%
Brazil: 302,000 - 12%
Norway: 132,000 - 5%
Egypt: 100,000 - 4%
Russia: 75,000 - 3%
Greenland: 54,000 - 2%
Canada: 44,000 - 2%
South Africa: 18,000 - 1%
Other countries: 33,000 - 1%
World total: 2,610,000

It was a lot closer in the end than Marshall would have liked, but the 14th-seeded Thundering Herd held off a comeback attempt by 11th-seeded Florida Atlantic and advanced to the second round of the Conference USA tournament, winning 63-59.
Marshall opened up a big lead early, building a double-digit advantage as much as 16 in the first half before the Owls awakened. The Thundering Herd went into the locker room up by only 35-29.
In the second half, Marshall looked as if it would pull away, going up by as much as 11, 53-42, with 8:32 left. But an 15-6 FAU run spanning nearly seven and a half minutes got them within 59-57 with 1:11 remaining in regulation. However, the Herd were able to hit their foul shots down the stretch and the Owls never hit the go-ahead shot as their season, and the tenure of coach Mike Jarvis, came to an end.
Chris Thomas led the way for Marshall with 21 points and seven rebounds, including 3 for 4 from deep. Raheem Canty struggled to 12 points on just 5 of 18 shooting from the floor. Pablo Bertone and Marquan Botley combined for 47 of the Owls' 59 points as FAU had very little help otherwise.
The Herd takes on sixth-seeded Old Dominion tomorrow at around 4:30pm Eastern time. The Monarchs took the regular-season matchup between these two schools by a score of 70-63.

The moment I saw this whimsical orange-print dress, I knew I needed it! Living in Orange County, I have a fondness for oranges. The print screams Summer, and I was thinking how cute it would be to wear to the Orange County Fair (one of my favorite Summer places to go)! It makes me smile every time I see it hanging in my closet.
Things got a little wild at my house yesterday. I was walking out to my car, and I noticed my cat playing with something in the grass. I walked over and discovered she was playing with a snake!!! And not just any snake, a RATTLESNAKE. I screamed so loud I think the entire neighborhood heard me. I was able to get my cat and dogs inside so they wouldn't get hurt, and luckily my kids were at school so they were safe as well. After getting my pets inside, the snake slithered away. I had no idea what to do? Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?
I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

What Is Velveeta?
What do we really know about Velveeta
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Velveeta is, no doubt, a cult classic, but what do we actually know about this beloved cheese? In 1928 Velveeta was introduced to the masses by Kraft Foods, and in the 1930s it became the first cheese product to merit the American Medical Association's seal of approval. Although today its most popular use is, of course, to make macaroni and cheese, it was first introduced as a "sauce" to be served "over toasted sandwiches of peanut butter and pickles." Sounds good, right? Maybe not.
Click here to see the Velveeta Recipe (Slideshow)
To develop a more mainstream appeal, in 1953 Velveeta was reformulated as a cheese spread, and was designed to have a taste that replicated American cheese with a more "velvety" texture, hence the name. Through the years this processed cheese product, which Kraft refers to as a "fun, family-friendly" food, has shown its versatility in recipes like queso dip, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheesy broccoli soup, and even Velveeta fudge. It has also gained a major fan following since the '20s. Today, there are several websites and Facebook pages dedicated to Velveeta's cheesy goodness and nostalgic quality.

Before they sue for libel, let me say that I just spent a very frustrating 2.5 hours on the phone with Microsoft to obtain the following fix, so I'll throw caution to the wind and overtly suggest that the culprit is a recent windows update and they do not want to admit it.
Initial troubleshooting steps with tech – beware: He asked (and I refused) to uninstall my firewall (zonealarm) and antivirus (mcafee). Instead, I kept pointing him back to the previously-posted article ID 903737.
The tech finally relented and sent the requested email (only after getting permission from his mgr). I sincerely hope this fix works for you too:
1. Click Start, click Run, and then
type net stop wuauserv .
2. On the desktop, double-click My Computer, and then delete the drive :WuTemp
3. Delete the drive:Windows System32Catroot2 folder.
4. Open the drive:Windows folder, and then rename the SoftwareDistribution folder
as SoftwareDistributionOLD.
5. Open the drive:Windows system32 folder, and then follow these steps: a.
Rename the Wuweb.dll file as Wuweb.dll.old.
b. Rename the Wuapi.dll file as Wuapi.dll.old.
c. Rename the Wuauclt.exe file as Wuauclt.exe.old.
d. Rename the Wuaucpl.cpl file as Wuaucpl.cpl.old.
e. Rename the Wuaueng1.dll file as Wuaueng1.dll.old.
f. Rename the Wuaueng.dll file as Wuaueng.dll.old.
g. Rename the Wuauserv.dll file as Wuauserv.dll.old.

i. Rename the Wups2.dll file as Wups2.dll.old.
j. Rename the Wups.dll file as Wups.dll.old.

GM invited us out to Vegas a day early to treat us to a sneak peek at some of their SEMA Show cars. We met at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, home to the Ron Fellows Racing School – along with one of the best private member tracks in the world. The first car that GM showed us looked right at home in this setting – The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept.
This white and black 'Vette was developed by Pratt and Miller, the firm that prepares most of the Corvette race cars for Chevrolet – just like the C6R.S parked next to it. The Z06X concept starts as a Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ package, the Z07 Performance Package and the CFZ Carbon Fiber Package. Sounds like a perfect showroom selection from your local Chevy dealer. It goes a few steps further than that dealership darling however.
It uses a lot of off-the-shelf parts from General Motors Performance Parts to create a club racer of sorts. The Z06X Concept gets some full competition mods including an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, a polycarbonate rear window, roll cage, racing seat and safety harness, racing wheels, suspension tweaks that include coil-over struts with fully adjustable camber plates, a racing-spec cooling system and more. It does lose a few things in the process, however, like the radio, carpeting and sound-deadening material. They won't be missed.
Will they build it? Nobody is saying just yet, but if enough gentlemen racers show up with blank checks in hand, we can't see any reason why they wouldn't. Live pics and media pics below, along with the full press release.

Report: Electric-grid cybersecurity too fragmented
Thursday - 12/8/2011, 8:07pm EST
The recent cyber attack false alarm at a water plant in Illinois may wind up doing some good — by keeping attention focused on the vulnerabilities of utility companies to cyber attacks.
The electric grid is one of the utilities that's received much of the attention. Jerry Grochow, a research affiliate at the MIT Energy Initiative and the former vice president for Information Services and Technology at MIT, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss how the federal government could reset its cyber priorities for the electric grid.
He's here to talk about how the Federal government could reset its cyber priorities for the electric grid.
In a report, "The Future of the Electric Grid," Grochow and a colleague laid out a number of proposals to better secure the grid, including a single agency devoted to electric-grid cybersecurity.

APTOS -- On a near-perfect Friday, SantaCruzWaves.com held its third annual Sandbar Shootout surf contest. Some of the best surfers from each side of town were invited to compete.
The list included Jason "Ratboy" Collins, a pioneer of aerial surfing, Adam Replogle, a former ASP Would Tour surfer, and some of the best all around rippers in the county.
A few of the best up-and-coming groms were invited to surf in the competition and relished the opportunity.
"The guys were out there giving pointers to the groms before, during and after the heats," said Tyler Fox, founder of Santa Cruz Waves and the contest's director. "These kids got the chance to surf against some of the best guys around and then eat burgers with them and pick their brains afterwards. It would have been really cool to have something like that when we were groms."
All contestants surfed the first two 30-minute rounds, with the surfers with the best four total scores reaching the final. With a twist, competitors had to claim their best waves immediately after riding it, and that score would be doubled.
The waves were adequate for fun competition surf and local standouts Noi Kaulukukui, Austin Smith-Ford and Chad Underhill-Meras looked like the guys to beat.
Smith-Ford and Underhill-Meras rode that momentum into the four-man final, along with south-side ripper Brad Shelton and Kyle Buthman, who made his third final in as many Sandbar Shootouts.
The final consisted of one westsider (Underhill-Meras), two eastsiders (Smith-Ford and Buthman) and one southsider (Shelton).
The women's final consisted of Selah Bartlett, Autumn Hays and Ashley Held -- all up-and-coming girl standouts. Bartlett edged out Held to win the first Santa Cruz Waves Sandbar Shootout women's title.
In the men's final, Underhill-Meras took an early lead with big hacks, throwing a ton of spray and he never looked back. Buthman finished in second place.
After the horn sounded and the tallies were calculated, Underhill-Meras, who took the day off work to compete, took down the $600 prize.
"Chad was just ripping all day out there, he was hungry and looked like one of the guys to beat from that first wave," said Westside surf legend Anthony Ruffo.

"It was a tough loss to take in front of full house," Dusty Baker said.
The loss is obviously on Francisco Cordero. He walked two to set up Jason Heyward's winning hit in the 10th.
But you had to wonder if it might have been different if the Reds had taken the lead in the eighth like they should have.
Joey Votto tied it by hitting the first pitch of the eighth out the opposite way to left for his 27th home run of the year.
Scott Rolen followed with a double. He went to third on Jonny Gomes flyout to right field. But left-hander Jonny Venters came back to strike out Jay Bruce and get Drew Stubbs to ground out.
Bruce has struggled with runners in scoring position. He's hitting .214 in with RISP.
"He gets overanxious," Baker said. "Those pitches were in the dirt. Venters is a tough left-hander. But . . ."
Baker said he considered hitting Chris Heisey for Bruce.
"I knew I would need Heisey later," Baker said. "We're trying to give Jay confidence. You're hitting one youngster for another there."
Another thing to consider: Bruce is hitting higher (.250) of left-handers than Heisey (.163)

Which Way Forward for Pharma?
Speakers' comments at the Parenteral Drug Association's Annual Meeting, held in Las Vegas on Apr. 20-24, 2009, reflected the crisis that pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries face. Presenters alluded to a cloud of challenges (e.g., cost pressures, products that can be duplicated by competitors, and quality-control failures) that has been gathering for some time. Several speakers claimed that small- and large-molecule manufacturers must change now to survive in the short and long terms. But change how? Read more »

My car's fuel gage is always pegged either on Full or on Empty--there is no in-between. It sometimes swings from full to empty while driving, and then back to full. Is this an electrical issue, does the sender need replacing, and if it is the sender, does the fuel pump have to be replaced as well? car still starts and runs fine.

Answer #1Jim Taddei December 30, 2010, 10:17Master
You should be able to replace the fuel level sensor in your 2003 Buick Rendezvous without replacing the complete fuel pump module. However, the fuel tank must be removed to do so. Depending on the mileage it may not be a bad idea to replace the fuel pump also, while the fuel tank is out. That is your decision.

The sharp clashes inside the Republican ranks in Washington, D.C. are now starting to spill over much more into public view.
In the latest twist, Congressman-elect Steve Stockman of Texas announced Wednesday that he would oppose House Speaker John Boehner\'s plans to remain as Speaker. Stockman won election back in 1994 in the class that installed Newt Gingrich in as Speaker, and he served one term. Stockman recently won his seat back in the Lone Star State.
\"This is not something I do lightly, but out of bedrock conservative principle and a dire need to save this nation from its current course,\'\' Stockman said in a statement on Boehner. \"We cannot tolerate betrayal of conservative principle and economic reality. I have known Congressman Boehner since I first came to the House in 1995. He is a decent man. But I have sharp disagreements with the manner in which he has handled President Obama and House conservatives. While he is all too eager to favorably negotiate with a liberal White House that has outmaneuvered him at every turn, he has been harsh and punitive in dealing with conservatives.\'\'
"He has given President Obama billions in increased taxes, while unceremoniously booting conservatives from key committees without so much as the courtesy of a face-to-face meeting. Past Republican leaders, such as Tom DeLay, at least had the decency to directly tell you they were punishing you for voicing conservative principles.
\"The \'fiscal cliff\' spending package negotiated by Congressman Boehner was the final, unacceptable straw. It raises taxes on more than 80 percent of families with combined incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 by an average of $1,635, while dealing special-interest tax breaks to Hollywood leftists, algae growers and millionaire wind corporations. It raises 41 dollars in taxes for every $1 in spending reductions, with no agreement to halt planned new spending of any theoretical tax revenues. The Congressional Budget Office finds it will add nearly $4 trillion to our job-killing deficit.
"Each time our nation\'s fiscal policies have been up for debate, Congressman Boehner has told Americans they\'ll get spending cuts \'next time.\' Enough is enough. There cannot be another \'next time\' for fiscal responsibility, or Congressman Boehner. His acquiescence has only emboldened the liberal drive for more expensive government. Congressman Boehner has allowed Obama use to class warfare rhetoric to split the Congress.
\"In short, Congressman Boehner signed our country on to a fiscal suicide pact.
\"Unless there is drastic change to the United States\' taxation and spending trajectories our government will become insolvent and our economy will collapse. Obama's 50.8 percent of the vote is not a mandate for higher taxes and more spending that majorities of Americans oppose.
\"Removing Congressman Boehner is only the first step on a long journey back to our constitutional foundations. I didn\'t come to Congress to collect a pension. I came to Congress to restore limited government. I look forward to this fight and I will continue to uphold my conservative principles and my sworn oath to the Constitution.\"

Inside the Syrian Arab Republic, the conflict has affected some 6.8 million people, including 4.25 million who have been internally displaced. Children are increasingly vulnerable, enduring the significant psychological toll of violence as well as the disintegration of infrastructure essential to their health and well-being – and their future.

But much remains to be done. Some 42 per cent of Nigerians lack access to safe drinking water, and only 31 per cent use improved sanitation facilities.

Ms. Enkhtuya is a 'bagh feldsher', a health worker for nomadic herder communities, in Khövsgöl Province of Mongolia. Ensuring that adequate health care reaches the communities' children – who represent nearly 24 per cent of Mongolia's child population – often proves challenging due to the mobile lifestyle and remote locales of nomadic families.

I get it from the neighbours," she said. Sometimes her family is also without food. "I miss Syria. I was very happy [there]," she explained. "My school … was very beautiful."

Did you know that the Central African Republic is one of the world's poorest countries, with one of the highest rates of under-five mortality? Resurgent conflict has worsened conditions, leaving 1.2 million people – 600,000 of them children – without access to basic services like water and health care.

What does the first judicial interpretation of the serious harm threshold tell us?
27 August 2014
Virginia Glastonbury, chief executive at Denton Wilde Sapte, took time out from the internal miseries of implementing the largest law firm redundancy programme in recent years to deliver a spirited attack on the less-than-impressive employment practices of other firms in the City. City law firms have been exiting people on a rolling basis, but this was not a way that we wanted to do things. This is a more transparent and open way of doing it, she said. I hope that other firms will be encouraged to do this, as it causes resentment when staff are let go in such a way, and not all firms are following the correct procedures.
Trying to seize the moral high ground while at the same time axing 40 fee-earners, 20 secretaries and 10 support staff might not prove a winning strategy with those poor souls in the firing line. But you get the point. There is a growing list of mostly mid-tier firms that have been forced to downsize in the past year SJ Berwin announced that it was letting 16 staff go earlier this month, while Charles Russell cut 19 staff in April. There have also been cuts at Berwin Leighton Paisner, Nicholson Graham & Jones, Osborne Clarke and Stephenson Harwood in the past 12 months. Nor are the magic circle firms immune: Clifford Chance has nobody fooled with its ongoing headcount management, which is currently threatening between 20 and 30 layoffs.
However, is Glastonburys suggestion of covert redundancies a fair assessment of what is going on in the market, or rather a clever ploy to deflect some of the heat away from Dentons?
There are two things that surprise me at the moment, says Mark Jones, managing partner at Addleshaw Goddard. Firstly, that there are as many firms as there are denying that redundancies are going on, and then that there should be any surprise that its happening. Last April, then as Addleshaw Booth & Co, the firm had to initiate its own drastic move, cutting 11 partners. But as Jones sees it, the number of CVs hitting his desk is clear evidence of behind-the-scenes downsizing.
It doesnt matter if you do what we did and do it early and overtly, or whether you do it later and covertly most firms need to do it, Jones continues. Having gone through the the second half of the 90s, Id be surprised if any law firm had told me they had any overcapacity. Its inherently implausible.
The perception of a drip-drip-drip of lawyers being let go appears to be the experience of the recruitment consultants. A lot of this is just a question of terminology, comments Dan Wilkins, business manager at Hays ZMB. We see many people who come in and effectively say they are redundant from the firms that havent announced redundancy programmes. Is it a redundancy when theyre told there isnt a huge amount of use for them here, heres £25,000, sign this and dont tell? Thats happening
across the City. He reckons that 100 such redundancies have come into his offices this year already.
Glastonbury, though, is also making a narrower point about Dentons fulfilling its employment law obligations.
They appear to be the only major firm thats said that it will comply with the legal consultation requirements which kick in where 20 or more people are made redundant within a period of 90 days, comments Jane Mann, head of the employment department at Fox Williams, who advises law firms on their redundancy packages. Basically, this route prescribes a consultation period of 30 days (or 90 days if there are 100 or more employees going to be dismissed) with the appointment of employee representatives and the drawing up of selection criteria.
No other law firm has done that yet, continues Mann. Either thats because they have yet to reach the 20-people threshold, or theyve been making redundancies over a long period of time.
Another possible scenario is that firms have not been calling them redundancies but instead performance dismissals. Theyve basically been performance managing people out after appraisals, says Mann.
Chris Cayley, a director at recruitment consultancy First Counsel, is seeing a lot of rigorous performance management, but he believes that it remains to be seen whether this management attrition is anything more than a sober response to tougher market conditions, as opposed to forestalling inevitable deeper cuts. I dont believe that every firm thats losing people through performance management is using it as a euphemism for redundancy, he argues.
Redundancies are traumatic in any workplace not least in a partnership. I had to sit with someone Id known for 25 years and say, Im sorry, its over, Addleshaws Jones recalls. But I think the marketplace genuinely accepts that we faced the issue sooner than many firms; and our partners, staff and clients accept that we dealt with it in an as objective and fair way as we could. He acknowledges a wobbly period after the forced departure of his partners. But 12 months on and, in the kindest possible way, its history now, he adds.
KLegal was forced to axe 42 support staff in London and Scotland and 20 fee-earners in London. As managing partner Nick Holt explains, a small part of the reason was post-merger rationalisation following the firms team-up with McGrigor Donald, but the other factor was that it was overloaded with corporate lawyers in London.
Holt shares Dentons somewhat sceptical take on the rolling programme of redundancies in the City. We were the first to do it in an honest and open way and we got an inordinate amount of publicity for it on that basis, he says. A lot of firms are going through the kind of things that we took a view on last year, and so with us it was more a question of more decisive management than traditionally takes place in law firms, where people wait and wait.
Over at Charles Russell, where eight lawyers and 11 support staff were made redundant earlier this year, managing partner Grant Howell takes a similar line. Perhaps one could argue that the firms that havent made cuts have found some magical elixir, but Im not so sure, he says. They may not be addressing the issues because its something everyones looking at.
Will there be any further cuts? No. Thats the hope and certainly we dont plan any more, replies Howell.
KLegals Nick Holt also believes his firm has done enough to prevent more cuts. We did the right thing at the right time, even though it wasnt a pleasant thing to do, he says.
Unsurprisingly, many of those lawyers who are about to find themselves back on the job market can expect a pretty tough time of it. Dentons has said it expects that many of its 48 trainees who might also be looking elsewhere (out of a total of 58) will be placed with in-house clients or snapped up quickly by other firms.
Thats just nonsense, comments Wilkins at Hays ZMB, because City firms just arent recruiting newly-qualified lawyers. His prognosis is that the going will also be hard for two year-qualified lawyers, whether they come from Dentons, Slaughter and May or a 10-partner firm in Mayfair. He continues: Its going to be hard because, while we arent inundated, at the same time there are a lot of people on our books who are looking for jobs because they have no choice. Theyve been made redundant or been told that they dont have much of a future.
At the moment Dentons is in the throes of its consultation period. According to Mann, running a consultation exercise should be a bit like planning a military campaign you need a plan of campaign and a strict time-line.
Charles Russell took the view that it was best to reveal who was going to be let go on the day that the redundancies were announced. We were talking about 19 people out of 550 and it was important to get the message across, because otherwise thered be all sorts of rumours on the bush telegraph, says Howell.
Dentons has to comply with the 30-day requirement under the employment legislation. Partners were informed of the need for its swingeing redundancy programme on Thursday 1 May, the bad news was broken to employees the following day when the consultation period began, and 21 employee representatives were appointed within 48 hours. The members of staff made redundant are expected to leave by 14 June.
Many employees see it as a very protracted way of going about dealing with a very difficult situation, acknowledges David Fowler, head of personnel at Dentons. While I subscribe to the view that legislation probably tends to be cruel, I [also] believe that we have a much better programme as a result of having to deal with it.
As for selecting candidates for redundancy, employers have first to identify a pool of candidates and draw up criteria for selection; this can include, for example, an ability to foster good client relations and an effectiveness at bringing in new business. These are things that you can usually measure objectively within a law firm because of the statistics that are provided internally within a firm, explains Mann.
Other more subjective criteria can be included, such as whether someone is a team player or not. But if you pick someone solely on account of not being a team player, you expose yourself to the risk that theres a lack of objectivity in the selection, says Mann.
Fowler at Dentons will not be drawn on his firms selection criteria, other than to say that length of service plays only a minimal part. But he does add: Its not about performance management, and in certain areas there are going to be some very good people who are going to be made vulnerable. The firm is looking to meet 30 per cent of its target number through voluntary redundancies.
According to Mann, the collective redundancy provisions can at least provide the management team with some tools to deal with the bloodletting. They have time to communicate to the employee group why the situation has arisen and how the scheme is going to be implemented, and that can serve a function and help it to be regarded as a fairer approach, she explains.
It also enables the management to communicate with staff directly about the real problems. Partnerships are quite closed and tend to be full of rumour and innuendo, which is often completely misconceived, says Mann. So if you bring it out into the open, it quite possibly might actually have a beneficial effect.
I hope in time people come to respect the fact that its been done openly and not as covertly as some other firms have been doing it although I dont expect that to be an immediate reaction, Fowler reflects. In time, people will come to appreciate it as a less cruel approach than this prevailing mood where individuals can just be picked off.

As the number of the returned increases, the government and military attempt to control the situation. Intertwined in the human emotions are questions of politics and religion. The chilling story grabbed my attention from the first chapter and I kept reading to find out what will happen to the returned. The book provokes questions about death, grief, and acceptance. The Returned has been optioned for a TV show on ABC, titled Resurrection set to air in March 2014. The Sundance Channel is currently airing a French drama set around a similar topic, also titled The Returned. I'll be tuning in to see how this haunting book plays out on the small screen.
While many of my beloved authors (Marian Keyes, Jennifer Weiner, Meg Cabot), who write in this genre, tend to keep things lighthearted and fun, Green's story was both full of that playful, fast-paced style yet she weaves in a more serious tone, which I came away appreciating. I was refreshed by the realness of the different generations of female characters she introduces through the two families in this story. Real life issues are dealt with in this story, and yet there's still enough of that enjoyable escapism that draws me to a Chick Lit story, to keep my interest. You'll walk away from this book feeling as content as the characters are with the outcome of their life decisions. I'll definitely be picking up another Jane Green book.

Superhead First Flush and Rainwater Filter
The Superhead combines 4 important filtration functions into one simple device to automatically filter the rainwater entering your water tank. The 4 functions are:
- Rain Head to channel water from downpipes into the rainwater tank.
- First- Flush Diverter to automatically flush the first rain from washing pollution off your roof and into the tank
- Leaf screen to prevent leaves blocking pipes and entering the tank
- Insect Guard to prevent insects entering the tank
What is a First- Flush Filter?
When collecting rainwater it is very important to keep the water clean and safe. Over time leaves, dirt, animal droppings, salt and other pollution builds up on your roof and gutters. Without a first- flush system this will be washed off the roof and directly into your rainwater tanks causing the water to become dirty and possibly dangerous. Sediment and pollution in the rainwater tank can also lead to:
- Damage to pumps, washing machines and other appliances.
- Blocked sprinklers and showers
- Excessive wear and shortened life on tap washers and filter cartridges
- Bacteria and algae growth in your rainwater tank
The Superhead First- Flush Diverter is installed anywhere before the inlet of the water tank and will automatically
divert the first polluted water from the roof when it rains. After the first flush is performed it automatically diverts the clean water into your rainwater tank.
It is best to have one Superhead first flush diverter on each downpipe however a single unit can be placed close to the tank and perform a first flush for several downpipes. This will really depend on how big your roof catchment is and how clean you need the water to be. The amount of water you need to first flush will depend on a few things like:
- The size of your roof- The recommended MINIMUM first flush is 20L per 100m of roof catchment area
- The amount of leaves and pollution on the roof (polluted areas need to be flushed more- approx 80- 100L per 100m of roof)
- The intended use of the water (drinking water will need a bigger first flush)
You should always check the quality of the water in your tanks before drinking it.
The amount of water flushed is determined by the length of the PVC pipe attached to the Superhead. 90mm PVC stores 6.5 litres/ metre. If you need to flush more water you can install additional Superheads to your downpipes. You can also increase the volume of the first flush pipe by increasing the length and/ or diameter of the first flush pipe you use.
The Superhead First- Flush has a rotating outlet so it can be mounted to a wall, or directly the side of some tanks.
The Superhead also has an adjustable drain on the flush pipe so you can maximise the amount of water you collect. During periods of frequent rain it isn't necessary to flush the full amount every time. The drain of the Superhead can be tightened to reduce the rate it drains and increase the amount of water diverted to the tank.
The Superhead combines 4 products into 1 device to provide maximum effectiveness and value for money. Here are the 4 parts
1. Rain Head
A rain- head is an important part of rainwater collection. It provides a break in the dowpipes so that any leaves that enter the downpipes can be cleared quickly. If blockages occur then your downpipes and gutters will overflow which can often cause major damage to your property.
2. Leaf Screen
The first stage filter is the large leaf screen. Leaves and other debris are prevented from entering the tank by a 8mm screen. The specially designed mesh allows the leaves to fall off while minimising splashing.
3. Adjustable First- Flush Diverter System
The first rain is diverted to a standard 90mm downpipe (not included) so that dirt and other pollutants from the roof don't enter the water tank. Once the First Flush System has filled the internal flap will close and divert clean water through the side outlet and into the tank.
A drain on the bottom of the First Flush System can be adjusted to alter the flush volume. In dry periods the drain can be loosened to INCREASE the flush volume. During periods of frequent rain it is not necessary to completely flush the whole system each time so the drain can be tightened to DECREASE the fist flush volume and maximise the amount of water collected.
The Drainage Plug is also compatible with standard poly retic fittings so the flush water can be directed to the garden or other location. The drainage plug is simply replaced with a screw fitting and a standard valve, or drip fitting
4. Insect Guard
The final filtration is a brush filter installed into the outlet pipe to the tank. Any floating debris is captured by this filter. This will also prevent insects and vermin from entering the system during dry periods
The Superhead comes pre assembled with the outlet configured to the side. If another location is required simply unsrew the stainless steel screws and rotate to the required position.
All connections are to 90mm Pipe or 3″ Pipe.
If connecting the flush pipe to reticulation there are several ways to do so:
Method 1: Standard Poly Pipe
The drain fitting is a standard 15mm fitting commonly used in reticulation fittings. Simply connect a 15mm threaded fitting with a 13mm/ 19mm barbed fitting on the other end. This can then be connected to 13/ 19mm poly pipe and directed to wherever is required. Flow id regulated by the foam filter inside the Superhead Base Cap. A valve or dripper can also be added to the reticulation pipe if required
Method 2: Micro fittings
Use a drill to make a 4mm hole anywhere in the base cap. Use a micro threaded joiner to screw into the hole. Connect micro piping to the joiner and direct to wherever is required. A dripper can also be added to the pipe if requried
Installation Instructions
Click here for detailed installation instructions
The Superhead may be installed in a variety of situations. Please click here to view some different options for various rainwater harvesting systems
- Select a location to install the Superhead somewhere between the downpipe(s) and water tank inlet. It can be mounted to the wall or directly to the side of some tanks. The rear outlet of the Superhead should be above the maximum water level of the water tank and there needs to be clear room under the Superhead for the first- flush pipe. The unit will also drip for several days after rain so it should be positioned over a drain/ garden or pot plant, or connected to reticulation fittings
- If required, rotate the side outlet so that the side outlet face the rainwater tank and secure using the small screws provided.
- Cut a length of 90mm pipe (larger pipe and adapater can be used if preferred) so that it is around 100mm shorter than the distance between the bottom outlet and the ground. Use pipe cement or silicone to glue the pipe in to the bottom of the Superhead and secure with the small screws provided
- Insert the ball into the pipe so it can roll freely
- Use pipe cement or silicone to glue the base cap on and secure with the small screws provided
- If you intend to paint the unit, now is a good time so you can reach all the hard places
- Position the unit in the correct location. Mark and drill the 2 holes at the top of the Superhead to secure the unit to the wall or tank. Insert the wall plugs (if required) and fasten the Superhead to the wall with the large screws provided
- Measure, cut and connect the pipe from the Superhead outlet to the tank inlet. Use the adapter if required
- Secure all pipes using pipe brackets
- Adjust the drainage plug on the first flush pipe so that it drips at around 1- 2 drips per second, or if connecting to reticulation fittings, attach the pipe and valve now
The Superhead requires very little maintenance as the leaf and insect screens are self- cleaning, however it is important to check it occasionally to ensure it is operating properly. Over time the flush pipe can become filled with dirt and obstruct the drain. If it does become blocked, simply unsrew the drainage plug and allow any dirt to be flushed out before replacing the plug.
If you have a lot of fine, floating debris then it may reduce the flow or even block water passing through the insect screen. If you have a secondary filter such as a basket on top of the rainwater tanks then the insect screen can be safely removed.
If you need to clean the insect guard/ filter brush, simply remove the leaf screen by unscrewing the small screw holding it down. Remove the insect guard and clean any debris in the brush.

How do you service the brush filter once the unit is installed?
- February 27, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Does the Superhead come without the first flush device, ie just a simple rainhead device as I will be installing one first flush to service all downpipes before the pipe enters the tank
- June 25, 2011 at 11:15 pm
I was very interested in your figure of 20 litres for each 100 sq m of roof area as an absolute minimum requirement. As we are planning a new house with 250 m roof this would equate to 50 l diverted. I had previously calculated a desirable amount of 100 l would be necessary.
I have been very distressed to see the local plumbers installing single first flush divers ( FFD ) after the water has passed through a charge system from a number of down pipes. To my way of thinking each down pipe connected to the charge line should have its own individual diverter other wise there is a mixing of contaminated water with what will eventually go into the tank. Apparently no one has informed them of the correct layout when a charge system is used but they think it is correct. What a load of bullshit they are trying to give us
I first used diverters 11 tears ago on our present house which depends totally on tank water and early realised the requirements of such a system.
I managed to increase the capacity of the holding pipe for the diverted water by using an elbow about 0.5 from the ground and adding extra horizontal pipe which held debris and silt which could later be cleaned out into a bucket
I am very impressed with your system but feel you should include instructions for setting up a charge system.
For those who don't know, a charge system is used when the down pipes are connected to an underground pipe which then comes up to to deliver water to the top of an above ground tank. Water is maintained in the charge line at all times but must be flushed out occasionally to remove rubbish in the pipe.

Hello, could you tell me the dimensions of the Superhead first flush diverterr?
We have 2350mm between the slab and the bottom of the gutter. What is the maximum height rainwater tank we could get if we wanted to use the Superhead first flush diverter?

I have drank rainwater straight from the tank my whole life without any first flush filters and I'm fine. You don't need any filter to keep the water safe.
- December 8, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Hi Grinder- One of the reasons we invented the device is from personal experience. My girlfriend (now wife) got very sick a few years ago. After several weeks she continued to get sicker and sicker. Her parents eventually found 3 dead frogs in the tank that were rotting away and poisoning the rainwater tank. They were fine because they always boiled the water for tea and coffee but she was drinking it straight from the tap. A first flush filter would have prevented the frogs being able to enter the tank.
The odds are that your rainwater tank is safe but there are many reasons for installing a rainwater filter. It saves on maintenance, helps to keep the water clean and stops animals and bacteria entering the tank. I'm sure your tank is fine but a first flush filter would certainly help to reduce any sediment build up that will eventually need to be cleaned out.

What's the deal with the pipe and leaking green dye all over the place? Not the greatest vid I have seen
- November 30, 2010 at 9:36 am
Hi TT- The tube at the bottom is to show the connection to standard reticulation fittings. It's an optional modification if you want to divert the flush drip to a different spot. The green 'leak' is the flush pipe draining. This is normally positioned over a drain or garden but we did it this way to show the pipe draining.
I know it's not the most professional video but I hope it shows how the Superhead works. Check back soon for the updated video and thanks for the feedback.
- September 14, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I still dont get how the flush volume changes. Am I missing something here?
- September 15, 2010 at 8:13 am
Depending on your situation and the time of year you may want to adjust the amount of water you divert for the first- flush. For example, If it has not rained for a few months over summer then a lot of dust will build up on your roof and gutters. You will need a good rainfall to wash all the dirt off. To stop this polluted water going into the tank you can loosen or even remove the adjustable drain at the base of the flush pipe. The flush pipe is draining at a different rate to the amount of rain collected so the flush volume is effectively increased (or decreased if the drain is tightened)
Likewise if it is raining frequently then the drain can ve tightened so that it drains more slowly. A 2m long flush pipe holds around 13 litres. If it drips at around 1 drip per second then it will take around 1 day to empty completely. So if it rains within this time then the roof will be clean and the rain will just top up the flush pipe instead of doing a full flush
- September 10, 2010 at 9:25 am
I bought one of these and was concerned that the flush pipe would be too small for our large roof. After talking to the company and making some adjustment to the drain I was able to get the flush right and reduce the amount of crap in our tank. Thanks for your help! and great work on the design. Would be great if you had a larger size for my big shed!
- September 10, 2010 at 10:36 am
Thanks for the feedback redman. I'm glad we could help!
This size will handle up to 120 L/ minute which is a significant amount of water. It should be able to cope with your shed provided you use one on each downpipe. You could use our rainwater calculator to determine how much water your roof will capture and decide if it is suitable for you
- September 9, 2010 at 8:19 am
Great idea. I would like to know the price please
- September 10, 2010 at 10:31 am
Hi Bruce- The RRP of the Superhead is around $70. You also need to buy 90mm PVC and pipe brackets to create the flush pipe and connect to the tank. It is quite a bit cheaper than buying the various components separately. To buy a rain head and first flush from a a competitor will cost $100+
- July 21, 2010 at 1:07 am
Very impressed with the system. Great work!

Line in (blue) issue
Just yesterday I was playing around with recording settings. I had made Stereo Mix my default device. Although when I went back to line in(blue) as my Default, it suddenly decided to stop working? It says the mic is plugged in, but still not working. I tried plugging my mic into Line in (pink) and it worked, but not properly. Help?
|My System Specs
|05 Feb 2011
If you have Stereo Mix set as the default (normal setting) then whatever is input, whether the Blue Line In, the Pink Mic should be detected and heard on your PC speakers and if you have a recording program, select the Stereo Mix (some systems this is System Mixer and SoundBlaster calls this What You Hear) as the recording source.
If you can't get it to work resetting to Stereo Mix, use the System Restore and restore the PC back to a date when it did work. System Restore will not detele any user data or e-mails. System Restore can be accessed from Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools.
|My System Specs
|05 Feb 2011
By System tools I supposed you're talking about System configuration > Tools?
I found System Restore, but it's telling me it's off. So I turned it on, giving me this error:
"The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect, (0x8007007B)"
As for the stereo mix, it isn't set to default anymore. It was normally set to disabled. The problem only appeared once I disabled it. In fact here are the steps I took:
-Enable Stereo Mix
-disable Line in
-disable Stereo Mix
-Enable Line in
-Line in still recognizes the mic but not any sounds
-Open Realtek HD audio manager
-Make it so I can identify both the pink and blue line in, compared to Line in normally being one input.
-Plug mic in Line in Pink
-Recognizes mic and voice
-It plays back everything I say.
-Check settings, made sure the "listen to device" setting wasn't checked.
-Googled for help
-Gave up
-Came here
|My System Specs

Too bad System Restore is not working - it's saved my butt many times and made me look like "super tech" when working with PC clients. But that is a separate issue that needs to be resolved.
Not sure what you have, are you saying that the "line in" is acutally a dual Line In and Mic input? I would make sure all the inputs are enabled in the Sound/Recording panel. Stereo Mix shouldn't make a difference - all that does is take whatever input and makes that available to whatever application and also plays the input on the PC's speakers.
If enabling everything doesn't help, the sound may be corrupt with Windows and in that case go to the Device Manger, RIGHT click on the entry for the RealTek to highlight it and then LEFT click "Uninstal" - DO NOT check the box to also uninstall the drivers. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will will detect and reinstall the sound. This seems to fix many problems and if your luck will fix yours.
|My System Specs
|05 Feb 2011
Unfortunately that didn't work. I tried two things, uninstalling without getting rid of the drivers, and uninstalling the drivers. Both didn't work, I appreciate the help anyways. I'll try and find a way to fix it.
Have a nice day!

Santa Fe Christian students in Solana Beach ranked among top students worldwide in mathematics problem solving
Santa Fe Christian students, Bryce Aggasid and Luke Vandertie, scored in the top 5 percent of all students worldwide in the American Mathematics Competition. The American Mathematics Competition is a worldwide math exam taken by approximately 200,000 of the world's best math students and is designed to identify students with exceptional math talent. The two students also received a $1,000 SFC scholarship for their top scores.
In addition to the AMC, Santa Fe Christian Schools' Math Team competes in many top national and state math competitions each year. Kelly Hoffman, SFC senior, was one of only 500 girls in the nation invited to compete in the "Math Prizes for Girls" at MIT. The team also competes in the Cal Tech Harvey Mudd Math Competition, Mandelbrot Math Competition, UCSD Honors Math Competition and the California Math League, where the SFC Math Team ranked number one of all California religious affiliated schools in 2013.
