May 16, 2013
By now, images of Bostonians being forced from their homes by heavily armed police and federal agents who were searching for a lone terrorist bomber are well-known throughout the alternative media world.
Within hours after authorities in Boston, in collusion with the Feds, ordered a lockdown of the city and surrounding communities and unconstitutional, warrantless door-to-door searches of homes, video feeds of the police state tyranny were being posted online for the world to see what former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas later described as a dress-rehearsal for "martial law."
Naturally, city and federal officials, many of whom initially denied or downplayed the situation (with the help of a compliant mainstream media), said nothing could be further from the truth. The door-to-door searches that took place during the lockdown and resultant scouring of neighborhoods, in which innocent residents were tossed out of their homes at gunpoint, were only too happy to comply with police because, after all, it was for the good and safety of the general public.
Well, in exclusive interviews with several Boston-area residents in the days following the searches, Infowars.com reveals that the tactics used by police as they searched for a wounded 19-year-old bombing suspect were not nearly as well-received as the mainstream would have you believe.
'Dropped me off in the middle of nowhere'
"On the heels of prestitute Lawrence O'Donnell labeling Ron Paul a 'liar' when he called the manhunt and door-to-door searches in Watertown, Mass. a martial law exercise, Infowars reporter Dan 'The Kraken' Bidondi went to interview residents who were forced from their homes," said the website.
One young man told Bidondi that the "situation was dealt with way too chaotically than it should have been."
"I was walking down Hazel Street and, um, a cop pointed his gun at me, and then they called SWAT in and SWAT came and picked me up…and threw me in the back of a car, and dropped me off in the middle of Newton," the young man said – which was essentially "the middle of nowhere."
"Broad daylight," he continued. "They just took off my cuffs and told me to walk." They never read him any Miranda rights, either, the young man told Bidondi.
A woman who spoke with Bidondi said cops showed up at the door of her home and "told me they were going to search" the house. They didn't ask, and they didn't have a warrant.
"They told us we had to leave," she said, adding she didn't complain at the time but said "I couldn't get everything I needed to get. I'm a diabetic and needed medicine, and I had left some stuff here, and they wouldn't let me come back to get it."
Bidondi asked, "Were you scared at all?"
"Yes, I was," she answered.
She said remained at a police station for a while before her son came to pick her up, she said. No one ever formally told her or her family when the lockdown was lifted and when they could return to their home.
"It was about eleven o'clock at night and I was calling the Watertown Police and the FBI and no one told me that we could come back in yet. They kept shuffling it back and forth," she said. Eventually she just made the decision to return to her home.
'Leave the shoes!'
"One thing I was very, very upset about is that when we were leaving here…all the lights were on in the house, TVs, you know," she said. "They had gone out the back door, down in my basement…I said, 'Let me just close all my doors and lock up,' and they said no, they would do that.
"I came home," she continued, "the back door was open – this is hours now later – back door was open, front door was open, basement door was open, lights were on, TVs were on. No one did anything."
The woman also showed Bidondi bullet holes in two of her cars, apparently from shootouts between police and the terror suspect.
A third resident, an older man, said police gave no prior warnings or put out any announcements that a lockdown was being implemented.
"They just walked in, you know, and they say, 'Get outta here,'" the man said. "I said, 'let me put my shoes on,' you know…they don't want to let me put my shoes on, either."
There's much more. Watch the entire set of interviews here.

Universal BalletPrivate Company active 8 years, 1 month ago
Based in Seoul, Korea with dancers and staff from more than a dozen countries throughout Europe, the US and Asia, Universal Ballet embodies the blending of the grace and harmony of Asian thought and culture with the strength and beauty of western classical ballet. Dedicated to preserving the rich tradition of European classical ballet and at the same time following the trends in contemporary choreography, the company continues to be the leading force of ballet in Korea. Since its founding in 1984, the company, now led by General Director Julia Moon and Artistic Director Brian Yoo, has steadily gained fame and recognition.
Performing both at home in Korea and abroad, the 70 dancers in Universal Ballet present well known full-length classical ballets such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Giselle and La Bayadère, as well as contemporary masterpieces such as Wiiliam Forsythe's In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated, Jiri Kylian's PETITE MORT and SECHS TÄNZE, Hans van Manen's Black Cake, Nacho Duato's Na Floresta and Duende, Heinz Spoerli's All Shall Be, Christopher Wheeldon's Variations Serieuses and Ohad Naharin's Minus-7. In 2009, during their 25th anniversary season, Universal Ballet added John Cranko's dramatic ballet, Onegin to the repertory.
Universal Ballet owes its progress and success to a number of people who have invested in the company during its formative years. These include four American directors: founding Artistic Director Adrienne Dellas, and subsequent directors Daniel Levins, Roy Tobias and Bruce Steival. Universal Ballet inherited much of the rich ballet tradition of St. Petersburg between 1998 and 2007, while under the leadership of Oleg Vinogradov, former Artistic Director of the Kirov Ballet in St. Petersburg. Mr. Vinogradov now serves as Artistic Director Emeritus for the company.
The company has won high praise for its success in combining Korean folklore with classical ballet in Shim Chung, and has presented this moving story of daughterly devotion worldwide. More recently, two additional Korean works, The Love of Chunhyang and Ballet Musical Shim Chung have been added to the company's repertory.

New York, January 11, 2013--Hong Kong's government should withdraw a proposed regulation that would limit journalists' access to information about business leaders, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Hong Kong's Financial Services and Treasury Bureau and the Companies Registry submitted a briefing paper to the legislature's financial affairs panel this week outlining the plan to remove identifying details about company directors from financial documents starting in 2014, according to The Associated Press. Under the proposal, directors could also redact personal information from past filings, AP reported.
The regulation would obstruct investigative reporting. Journalists routinely use the personal information, which includes home addresses and identification numbers, to report on corruption and wrongdoing, according to the Hong Kong Journalists Association and the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong, which have each issued statements opposing the move. "We regret that we were not invited to provide feedback on this change during a public consultation at the end of last year," the correspondents' club wrote in a letter published on its website.
The government must table the regulation for discussion, the journalists association reported. The timetable for its possible adoption is not clear.
"This regulation would be a dramatic blow to accountability and transparency, which would greatly harm Hong Kong's standing as an international financial center," said Bob Dietz, CPJ Asia program coordinator. "Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying should not allow its adoption."
Financial reporting has come under increased scrutiny in Hong Kong and mainland China in the past year. Chinese authorities censored Bloomberg news agency and The New York Times for exposing wealth accumulated by the families of top leaders in 2012. Those reports relied on data the regulation is seeking to restrict, according to AP. Hong Kong Journalists Association cited an additional six local investigative reports that would not have been possible without the data.
Hong Kong became a special administrative region of China in 1997 when it reverted from British to Chinese rule. Since then, the environment for the media has deteriorated as Beijing's influence has grown, according to CPJ research.

Cliff Mautner's career in photography spans 30 years.
After 15 years and 6,000 assignments as a photojournalist with the Philadelphia Inquirer, and working for an eclectic array of commercial clientele ranging from Comcast to Subaru, Cliff launched his wedding photography career. After 850 or so weddings, he hasn't looked back. Cliff is perhaps best known for his ability to create quality images in some of the most difficult lighting conditions imaginable, and for his diligence in capturing decisive moments.
Cliff was named one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world by American PHOTO magazine, won the WPPI Grand Award for photojournalism, the 2012 Nikon WPPI photographer of the year, and received the International Photographic Council's Leadership Award at the United Nations.
He is also the founder of the highly successful 'Lighting and Skillset Bootcamp' a workshop dedicated to empowering photographers with skills needed to acquire a style of their own.
He's married to his best friend, Susan Stripling Mautner, and is the proud father of twin daughters, Samantha and Alison.
I prefer skillsets over action sets because there's NO "do over" filter in [Adobe] Photoshop.

Florida A&M starts new search for band director
School chose not to select finalists
Florida A&M University is starting over in its search for a new director for its famed band.
FAMU officials on Wednesday announced they were unable to reach an agreement with the finalist for the job. University officials had planned to appoint Jorim Reid, the current band director at North Carolina Central University, to the position.
FAMU officials said that Reid and the university disagreed over the duties of the band director. The university changed the job following the hazing related death of drum major Robert Champion. The band director will no longer serve as chairman of the music department.
Interim President Larry Robinson said it was in the best interest of the university to start a new search instead of selecting one of the other remaining two finalists.

As pictures of it appeared on the official Facebook page from 11am this morning, the comments that began to flood in were initially of utter disapproval of the design. Ranging from the rather blunt "Really bad" to "the overall design is just rubbish", there was one recurring theme throughout the comments on there and other social media sites which kept on popping up;
"Where is the red, white and blue? Where is the British Flag?!"The British public seemed to be in utter shock by the design - you might as well rename the initial reactions as 'TracksuitGate'... (cheers @SimonAlexTyler for that one!). As I was discussing with a friend on Twitter, it would appear most people were "expecting the obvious" of a largely white kit, festooned with the British Flag. The design clearly didn't go down that path, and I totally respect and admire McCartney and adidas for going down a more imaginative and creative route for this design.
As McCartney pointed out, the Union Flag was a prominent element of the design, which had been over two years in the making:
"... For me, it's one of the most beautiful flags in the world and it was important to me to stay true to that iconic design, but also modernise it and present it in a contemporary way."
McCartney didn't "forget about the flag" or "not get the memo" as people have been saying online at the moment. The geometric shapes in the flag are just as iconic as the colours; the flag has simply been broken down, but is still present in the kit.
I have to admit to being slightly baffled by what currently feels like the general consensus of "how will we distinguish who our athletes are taking part in the cycling events?" If you're really asking that question, it begs me to ask if you actually know who our Olympic Cycling team are...
Perhaps the international response to the kit will be more positive, but I definitely stand by the kit and give a thumbs-up to adidas and McCartney for the direction they've gone in. You're looking great Team GB - go for it!

Veselina Feldman
Veselina Feldman proposes a modern innovative therapy – Equine-Assisted Therapy - for improving functioning and quality of life for children with disabilities.
In Bulgaria, children with disabilities and their families have lower quality of life. They often lack access to contemporary and innovative treatments, and professionals who work with these children do not receive specialized training. As a result, children with disabilities face even more barriers to developing their full potential. Instead, they remain isolated, stigmatized, and hidden from society. By not helping them achieve independence and self-sufficiency, the Bulgarian society is losing a valuable resource.
Veselina Feldman has been implementing and promoting an innovative equine-assisted therapy for children with disabilities. This therapy is based on using contact with the horse to achieve positive psychological effects and development. Veselina is offering the therapy to children between 3-18 years old in individual and group sessions.

X-rays for diagnosis and therapy
X‑rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. They are electromagnetic energy waves that are far more energetic than light rays. X‑rays are most commonly used for medical diagnosis, but also for cancer treatment.
The heart of an X‑ray machine is a vacuum-sealed glass cylinder containing a pair of electrodes. When electricity is sent through the tube, X‑rays are released at the positive electrode. The high-energy rays pass through soft body tissue, but get absorbed by dense material such as bone. This creates 'shadows' that can be captured with photographic or fluoroscopic techniques. Doctors used X‑rays to see inside living patients' bodies without having to cut them open.
Military doctors were early converts to X‑rays. They helped the removal of bullets or shrapnel and got soldiers back on the battlefield. Army recruits were X‑rayed for chest diseases such as TB. In the 1940s mass civilian screening for TB took place with portable X‑ray machines.
X‑ray machines were central to hospital diagnosis by the 1930s. They led to specialist radiologists and radiographers. Many techniques and technologies were developed during the 20th century to enhance X‑ray body imaging. X‑ray machines were found to be harmful to practitioners and patients by exposing them to high levels of radiation. As a result, machines were used with protective measures to reduce radiation dosages. However, X‑ray radiation was also a useful cancer treatment known as radiation therapy.

Everyone Worth KnowingBy Lauren WeisbergerIntroductionFor the five years following college, Bette Robinson has been employed at a tony New York investment bank. It's a job everyone detests -- her hippie parents, who'd hoped she'd pursue activist interests; her society columnist uncle, Will, who at the very least abhors the bank's conservative dress code; and Bette herself, whose life seems to revolve around endless work hours answering to a mind-numbingly idiosyncratic boss, and tending to her dog Millington. Perhaps her best friend's engagement is the trigger, but Bette soon finds one of her boss's daily adages one too many, and quits like the impulsive girl she's never been. Though her parents push for her to do something "meaningful" with her life, Uncle Will introduces her to his former protege, Kelly, and soon Bette finds herself with a coveted -- if antithetical -- job as an events planner at one of NYC's hottest outfits.Bette's "work" takes her into the VIP lounges of the hottest celebrity- and socialite-filled New York City nightclubs every night of the week. It's a glamorous job, but Bette learns not to blink at the famous faces, the black Amex cards, velvet ropes, and paparazzi snapping pics of her coworkers and cohorts. When the "It" boy du jour, Philip Weston, takes a shine to her, Bette soon finds that the line between her personal and professional lives is...invisible. When her name begins appearing in the city's most salacious (and popular) gossip column, "New York Scoop," Bette is horrified; her coworkers, envious; Penelope, hurt; Uncle Will, concerned; and Kelly, elated. The column is penned under the pseudonym, Ellie Insider. Bette can't help but wonder who's feeding the column such intimate -- and often untruthful -- details; and who on earth "Ellie Insider" might be?Discussion Questions:1. From Bette's perspective, what is it like to live in New York City? What is gratifying about living there, and what is frustrating? Does Bette's "own private palace" (page 6) in Manhattan sound like somewhere you would want to live? Why or why not?2. Bette's book club meetings "more closely resembled group therapy than any sort of literary exploration" (page 47). Is this a book club you can relate to? Do you think it's more important for a book group to discuss literature, or to enjoy each other's company? Or are both activities important?3. On the surface, "Philip fit the ideal of the romantic hero more closely than any guy I'd met before" (page 141). How do Bette's early impressions of Philip compare to her attraction to Sammy, whom she initially disliked? What does this imply about the reliability of first impressions? Do you generally trust your first impressions of somebody?4. In chapter 19, we learn that Bette spent her high school years writing letters about important world issues. How does her old letter-writing hobby embody the idealism of her youth? What one activity could symbolize Bette's current lifestyle? Would you say that Bette is still an idealist? Why or why not?5. Bette describes the "message" of the Blackberry party, and event-planning in general, as "you - whoever you are and wherever you're reading about this fabulous event - must own one [Blackberry] so that you, too, may be young, hip, urban, and cool" (page 217). Before you read this book, were you aware of the time, effort, and money involved in event-planning? Do you think this form of marketing works? Why or why not?6. Bette and Sammy are both carryingLonely Planetguidebooks when they meet in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. What does this suggest about their compatibility? How does it set them apart from the rest of the traveling group?7. Bette briefly curses romance novels, "because they just made it too easy to maintain totally unreasonable expectations" (page 359). Do you agree that fiction fosters unrealistic hopes? Are these high expectations helpful inWeisberger, Lauren is the author of 'Everyone Worth Knowing ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780743262330 and ISBN 0743262336.[read more]

That sentence for a book I'm writing.She shut her eyes and willed the picture of the wagon crushing his body to escape from her head. Instead, it returned, replaying in a most horrible phantasmagoric fashion.
It has an interesting word history.phantasmagoria
1. a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.
2. a changing scene made up of many elements.
3. an optical illusion produced by a magic lantern or the like in which figures increase or diminish in size, pass into each other, dissolve, etc.
Interestingly enough, "phantasmagoria" has its own Wikipedia entry as well.1802, name of a "magic lantern" exhibition brought to London in 1802 by Philipstal, the name an alteration of Fr. phantasmagorie, said to have been coined 1801 by Fr. dramatist Louis-Sébastien Mercier, from Gk. phantasma "image" + second element probably a Fr. form of Gk. agora "assembly" (but this may have been chosen more for the dramatic sound than any literal sense). Transf. meaning "shifting scene of many elements" is attested from 1822.
Phantasmagoria...was a form of theatre which used a modified magic lantern to project frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection. The projector was mobile, allowing the projected image to move and change size on the screen, and multiple projecting devices allowed for quick switching of different images. Invented in France in the late 18th century, it gained popularity through most of Europe (especially England) throughout the 19th century.

We might know her as the wide-eyed, song-filled daughter in "Mama Mia" and the guitar-strumming girlfriend in "Dear John," but America is about to get an eyeful of Amanda Seyfried.
Seyfried gives a haunting and often chilling performance as the title character in Atom Egoyan's "Chloe," opening March 26. It's a story of betrayal, obsession and voyeurism with an unblinking Seyfried in the center of the storm. And there's a fair amount of nudity.
Besides Seyfried's stunning portrayal as a callgirl hired by a jealous wife (Julianne Moore) to entrap her seemingly cheating husband (Liam Neeson) - we also see a lot more of Seyfried than ever before in a handful of drawn out sex scenes.
U.S. & World
"I definitely think that people can take me more seriously," says Seyfried, speaking from the "Chloe" press day. "It's a more serious movie."
Seyfried says that if her celebrated director wanted nudity, it was clearly important for the movie. "I trusted Atom (Egoyan)," she says. "I said nudity, fine. Of course. It's Chloe. It was totally necessary to me. "
She did negotiate some changes to the sex scenes, one notable scene with Moore in particular. "Before I signed on we had a lot of negotiations of nudity and how much was going to be shown," she says, adding. "We brought it to a little bit less (nudity). It was just because Americans would see it. It's tougher in this country."
Nonetheless the scene with Moore in particular is long and explicit. "We went for it," says Seyfried, explaining the scene was vital for the story.
The role will add to Seyfried's credibility as an actress in Hollywood. It's clear in this movie that she has the acting chops. In fact her Chloe is hard to shake from the mind. But she insists that middle-America will accept her back on the wholesome path she was blazing so effectively in her past multiplex friendly films.
"The younger audiences cannot see 'Chloe,' " says Seyfried. " I think they'll go right along with me to my next romantic, sweet movie… which happens to be coming out soon as well."

It seems that open access journal publishing, known as the "gold" version of OA, isn't paved with gold. In an eye-opening analysis in the journal Nature, the Public Library of Science (PLoS), which launched its first open access journals in 2003, is said to be facing a "looming financial crisis." According to Nature, which analyzed the non-profit PLoS's publicly available records on file with the Internal Revenue Service, PLoS ran a deficit of almost $1 million last year, and its total income from fees and advertising currently covers just 35 percent of its costs. While revenue is increasing slightly, spending is increasing at a greater clip, up to $5.5 million over the past three years combined. In response, with its grant funds being steadily depleted, PLoS has announced that it will raise author fees, effective July 1, for its open access journals from $1500 to $2500 for flagship journals PLoS Biology and PLoS Medicine; and to $2000 for its community journals PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS Genetics, and PLoS Pathogens.
From Library Journal
In a release, officials from the non-profit PLoS said that, with three years of operational experience to draw on, it was "time to adjust this model so that our publication fees reflect more closely the costs of publication." Still, even with the increased fees, Nature reports that PLoS will have to rely on "philanthropy" to survive for the foreseeable future, including its funding from the Sandler and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundations. PLoS director of publishing Mark Patterson downplayed the financial situation, noting that the fledgling publisher is only in its fourth year. Still, more than a few commercial publishers may be saying "I told you so." In the early days of open access publishing, commercial publishers repeatedly suggested that author fees for PLoS, at $1500, and for-profit open access publisher BioMed Central, then $500, were unsustainably low. Last year, BioMed Central increased its author fees, from $525 to as much as $1700. Commercial competitors, meanwhile, including Springer, Blackwell, and most recently Elsevier, have begun offering open-access-like publishing options, for fees closer to $3000.

University Sets Course for Strategic Growth
The Pacific University Board of Trustees approved several proposals at its spring meeting May 16-17 to continue to position the university for strategic growth.
The board approved a strategic plan that includes a goal to increase both its undergraduate and graduate enrollments to 2,000 students each by the year 2020. Enrollment currently consists of 1,700 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate students.
To support that goal, the board also approved a request by university administrators to seek refinancing of existing bond debt to reduce interest payments and enable the institution to make capital improvements on its Forest Grove Campus.
As part of the refinancing request, the board approved a preliminary plan to construct a 400-bed residence hall on the university's north side to replace 47 year-old Clark Hall. The new hall will be located on land adjacent to Clark and will nearly double that hall's capacity.
In addition to the new residence hall, the board approved proposals to redesign the university's north side entrance where Clark Hall currently resides, and renovate the 50-year old University Center to expand dining capacity and food production services.
In addition to the expansion plans on the Forest Grove Campus, the Board of Trustees also approved five new academic degree offerings. These programs are in response to student demand and projected market need and will also support enrollment growth.
The College of Health Professions will administer the university's first completely online degree, a bachelor of health sciences, to begin in the fall of 2014.
The university's new College of Business, which officially begins operation in July, will offer three graduate-level degrees: a master of business administration, executive MBA and a master of science in finance. The college will begin administering bachelor degree programs this fall, with the master of finance program is expected to begin in January. Start dates for the two MBA programs are to be determined.
The College of Education will offer a bachelor of elementary education in English language. The degree offers a route to teacher certification particularly designed for students at our new Woodburn site.
Additionally, the Board of Trustees also approved the development of a curriculum for a master of social work degree to be administered by the College of Arts & Sciences. The program will be the second graduate degree offering by the college, joining the master of fine arts in writing program, and will be offered first at the Pacific University Eugene Campus.
The board also welcomed three new members, re-elected four existing members, and bestowed emeritus/a status on two outgoing members, whose terms expire June 30.
New trustees are Dori Carlson '88, OD '89, an optometrist based in Park River, N.D.; Catherine Kim, PhD, associate professor of education at Pacific; and Kailea Saplan, an undergraduate student at Pacific majoring in theatre.
Re-elected to the Board of Trustees are chair Mindy Cameron '65 of Sandpoint, Idaho; Julie Berglund Baker of Carlsbad, Calif.; Richard Hanson of Longbranch, Wash.; and Tommy Thayer, lead guitarist of rock band KISS.
Longtime board members Tige Harris and Yvonne Katz received Trustee Emeritus/a status. Harris is senior managing director at First Republic Investment Management in Portland, and Katz is a retired Beaverton school superintendent who resides in San Antonio, Texas. Harris will remain involved with Pacific by continuing to serve on both the Investment Committee and as a member of the Oak Tree Foundation Board.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
This guidance document was issued upon approval of the Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
|OLC Control #
|Fact Sheet: Pregnancy Discrimination
|Date Issued
|General Topics
|This document addresses information about pregnancy discrimination under Title VII, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA).
|Date Posted
|Statutes/Authorities Involved
|Title VII, 29 CFR Part 16
|Employees, Employers, Applicants, HR Practitioners
The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination under Title VII. Women affected by pregnancy or related conditions must be treated in the same manner as other applicants or employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work.
An employer cannot refuse to hire a woman because of her pregnancy related condition as long as she is able to perform the major functions of her job. An employer cannot refuse to hire her because of its prejudices against pregnant workers
or because of the prejudices of co-workers, clients, or customers. The PDA also forbids discrimination based on pregnancy when it comes to any other aspect of employment, including pay, job assignments, promotions, layoffs, training, fringe
benefits, firing, and any other term or condition of employment.
An employer may not single out pregnancy related conditions for medical clearance procedures that are not required of employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work. For example, if an employer requires its employees to submit a doctor's statement concerning their inability to work before granting leave or paying sick benefits, the employer may require employees affected by pregnancy related conditions to do the same.
Pregnant employees must be permitted to work as long as they are able to perform their jobs. If an employee has been absent from work as a result of a pregnancy related condition and recovers, her employer may not require her to remain on leave until the baby's birth. Nor may an employer have a rule that prohibits an employee from returning to work for a predetermined length of time after childbirth.
Under the PDA, an employer that allows temporarily disabled employees to take disability leave or leave without pay must allow an employee who is temporarily disabled due to pregnancy to do the same. Employers must hold open a job for a pregnancy related absence the same length of time that jobs are held open for employees on sick or temporary disability leave.
Further, under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor, a new parent (including foster and adoptive parents) may be eligible for 12 weeks of leave (unpaid, or paid if the employee has earned or
accrued it) that may be used for care of the new child. To be eligible, the employee must have worked for the employer for 12 months prior to taking the leave and the employer must have a specified number of employees. For more
information please see: www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs28.htm.
If an employee is temporarily unable to perform her job due to pregnancy, the employer must treat her the same as any other temporarily disabled employee; for example, by providing light duty, modified tasks, alternative assignments, disability leave, or leave without pay.
Additionally, impairments resulting from pregnancy (for example, gestational diabetes) may be disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). An employer may have to provide a reasonable accommodation for a disability related
to pregnancy, absent undue hardship (significant difficulty or expense). For example, an employer may be required to provide modified duties for an employee with a 20-pound lifting restriction stemming from pregnancy related sciatica, absent
undue hardship. The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 makes it much easier to show that a medical condition is a covered disability. For more information about the ADA, see www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability.cfm. For information about the ADA Amendments Act, see www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability_regulations.cfm.
Any health insurance provided by an employer must cover expenses for pregnancy related conditions on the same basis as expenses for other medical conditions. The PDA specifies, however, that insurance coverage for expenses arising from abortion is not required, except where the life of the mother is endangered or medical complications arise from an abortion.
Pregnancy related expenses should be reimbursed in the same manner as those incurred for other medical conditions, whether payment is on a fixed basis or a percentage of reasonable and customary charge basis. The amounts payable by the insurance provider can be limited only to the same extent as costs for other conditions. No additional or larger deductible can be imposed.
Under Title VII, benefits can be denied for medical costs arising from an existing pregnancy if a health insurance plan excludes benefit payments for pre-existing conditions. Other laws, however, may apply to the coverage of pre-existing conditions.
Employers must provide the same level of health benefits for spouses of male employees as they do for spouses of female employees.
If an employer provides any benefits to workers on medical leave, the employer must provide the same benefits for those on medical leave for pregnancy related conditions.
Employees with pregnancy related disabilities must be treated the same as other temporarily disabled employees for accrual and crediting of seniority, vacation calculation, pay increases, and temporary disability benefits.

Another quirk (more of a bug i think) is the automatic encoding of hashes where all keys that begin with a digit between 1 and 9 are lost:
Luckily I found a quick workaround. Just append chr(0x00) to your keys and the xmlrpc response will be correct. Maybe this will apply to encoding of hashes for requests too.

It's Time for Time Series – Built-in Analytics in Vertica
Time series databases have become one of the fastest growing speciality database platforms in our industry. Why? Well, time series data consists of sequences of measures over time and those measurements are becoming ubiquitous, particularly with the Internet of Things. Just think about daily daily stock prices, sensors measuring temperature or air quality, electrocardiograms -- all of them are time series examples. Analyzing time series requires unique preparation steps and specific functions.
Join us for this webcast and you will learn how to use advanced Vertica Time Series Analytics to quickly analyze large volumes of data – all without investing in yet another database. You will also see how easily to extend Vertica's Time Series built-in functionality to forecast and correlate time series.

Delivering personalized retail promotions using AI and predictive analytics
Aug 1 2019

Stephan Visarius and Patryk Koryzna, Segment of One and Carlo Arioli, Micro Focus
In the highly competitive retail market, customers have become immune to the bombardment of mass-produced offers, causing 59% of promotions globally to not break even. Customers have grown to expect more relevant, personalized experiences over "one size fits all" campaigns, and this evolution is forcing both brick and mortar and online retailers to rethink how they connect with individuals using highly personalized promotions delivered through their preferred channels.
What if you could get ahead of this trend and deliver more effective, relevant promotions by predicting if, what, when and for how much an individual is likely to purchase?
Join our latest Data Disruptors webcast to see how SO1.ai helps retailers leverage customer basket and loyalty data to deliver smart, automated promotional decisions at scale across millions of customers. The solution is fully automated and designed to fit a retailer's specific business goals (i.e. revenues, profit optimization, customer satisfaction or brand sales). The webcast will cover:
• How SO1 can track shoppers' purchasing habits and preferences in real time

"We had been contributing to a college fund for Avi, but by the end of fourth grade we realized that if something didn't change, we would never need that money. We had a complete educational assessment done, and when Avi heard the diagnoses of dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD, she cried tears of relief. Now we had something we could work with!" - Tiphanie, parent of 2016 Springer graduate

MME's primary purpose is to provide a snapshot of end-of-year student learning across the state. When teachers give students assessments throughout the school year the primary purpose is to gauge their students' progress, and make adjustments to their instruction as necessary.

Judging from the number of bakeries mushrooming around town over the years, one would assume that breads are garnering an increasing amount of interest among Malaysians especially yours truly, who is a big fan of breads. Therefore, when I stumbled across Bakery Moments at the ground floor of Ikano Power Centre, my senses were literally tingled with excitement by the whiff of aroma emitting from the freshly baked breads.
Apparently, Bakery Moments originates all the way from Norway. Hence, they naturally adopted the Norwegian style of making their breads. I was so caught up with taking pictures of the breads that I ordered and actually forgotten their names! First up is this particular bread with minced tuna which spreads around the center. Really nice if you are that sort that love tuna on the bread.
The smokey BBQ sauce on top of this bread was yummy as well. There was a piece of hotdog right at the center of the bread which compliments the sauce well.
The garlic bread with its soft texture was a pleasure to eat.
The breads costs RM 11.50 in total which wasn't really cheap to be honest. But when I Googled about Bakery Moments, I found out that their breads are of premium quality as Norwegians are particular about the quality of their bread.
As such, their breads are made with high quality imported ingredients. I guess that sort of justify the price in return for delicious breads.

Last weekend we have a larp event scheduled the same day Hurricane Joaquin was forecast to set down... riiiight next to where we were playing. I watched the weather forecast all week and finally decided to give it a shot - drove down in a nasty storm, half expecting to spend the weekend huddled in a tiny, unheated cabin while listening to the storm.
It was pretty wet but otherwise okay! But a few of our players couldn't get back to their homes after the event - all the roads had been closed. D:

When posting on a message board, make the subject line of the post something that draws people in and makes them want to read it. Now I'm not suggesting that you post anything completely unrelated like "Ancestor busted as prostitute" and then in the post, "...now that I've got your attention..." That will irritate and most likely get you flagged or removed. Of course, if you actually have an ancestor busted as a prostitute and are seeking more information, then that's a completely satisfactory subject line! What I'm trying to illustrate is not to expect to get very many responses when your title says something like:
"Trying to find my grandfather"
(not enough info, especially if on a common surname message board), or
"Brown family", or
"Lee genealogy", or
"Looking for connections"
Those subjects don't tell anyone anything and I usually don't bother to read them. I've got quite a few posts to read through each day, either as blogs, message board alerts, or news and I just don't have time. If I see a subject like that, I just say to myself, "Well, they aren't really serious about this, or they would have said more".
Seriously, if you're researching someone with a common last name, you've GOT to put more detail in the subject (and, of course, the post). Those boards have so many messages posted daily that people are looking for what pertains to them. Such a general subject line will more often than not be ignored. A better title for a common name would be "Lee family of the Hazleton, PA area", or "Brown family moved to Elmira, NY from PA". That narrows it down considerably and would tend to get better responses.
One last peeve, and then I'll stop, because I so could go on, is content of the post. Don't say, "I'm looking for the parents of Joe-schmo Hermann who moved to the US from Germany. Please help". Again, pretty common last name, and it's not saying where they moved to....Wisconsin? Texas? Maine? Where? I would venture a guess that the majority of Hermanns in the United States came from Germany...can I have a time period? A location before and after immigration, if you have one? Tell the people reading the post all the details you have! Let them know if there are details that you believe to be true, but haven't verified yet. Something is better than a generalization.
OK...I feel a little better now. I know some people are new to genealogy and jump right in and that's awesome, but a lot of this is common sense. And sadly, I don't think that some of these ridiculous posts/titles are only from those new to genealogy. Ah well...

"No matter. If you tie your mount up there, I'll take you up to meet him."

"Yes, they are beautiful flowers. My master brews potions with them... Oh... mind the jack-o-lantern..."
"Yes, yes... such a hurry. Just let me open the door and we'll go inside."
"Well he's not in the dining room. And his food has not been touched."
"Where is he, you ask? Maybe he is upstairs in library."
"Yes, I see he's not here, but we do have another story to visit yet. Let's go up the ladder here."
"He's not in the bedroom either. Oh-oh... watch out for the cat. He scratches... And mind the chamber pot... Ewww... he has been here recently..."
"What's out that door by the clothes rack, you ask? Why that's the balcony."
"Not out here either. He must be upstairs on the parapet."
"Ah-ha! There he is. He likes to spy on the villagers from up here. And he doesn't like to be disturbed!"
"Oh no! He looks angry!" ZAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
