Non-Compete Blog
If properly drafted and used, restrictive covenants (non-competition agreements) can be terrific and enforceable tools. However, recent government scrutiny of their use and impact on employee mobility and wages make it clear that their use should be limited to key employee and executive personnel and/or those with significant client and marketplace relationships.
The intent behind a non-compete is to provide protection for a limited period of time against the transfer of an employer's relationships and or know-how to a competitor. Non-Competes only have value if they are treated (1) as special agreements involving limited groups of employees; (2) carefully tailored to the circumstances of a given employment relationship, industry, and job duties; and (3) found to be worthy by the courts. If they are devalued by being issued to every employee in a company regardless of the material nature of the employee's position, they may slightly improve employee retention, their use may come under scrutiny, their effect diluted, and their enforcement difficult to achieve.
As discussed in an earlier HNRK Blog post, when deciding the seminal case of Reed, Roberts Assoc. v. Strauman, 40 N.Y.2d 303, 307-08 (N.Y. 1976), the New York Court of Appeals made it clear that restrictive covenants "will only be subject to specific enforcement to the extent that they are reasonable in time and area, necessary to protect the employer's legitimate interests, not harmful to the general public and not unreasonably burdensome to the employee." Id. Legitimate interests of the employer, according to the Reed, Roberts court, would include the protection of trade secrets or confidential information, or preventing competition when "an employee's services are unique or extraordinary." Id. at 308. This ruling and judicial policy statement strongly suggests that a company should use great discretion when requiring execution of a restrictive covenant as a condition of employment and make sure that the employee, officer, or director are engaged in activities that to preclude unfair competition, deserve shielding from a competitor.
Federal and local governments have grown increasingly sensitive to the misuse of restrictive covenants. In May 2016, the White House released a report on the use of non-competes and their potential misuse by employers and the negative effects it may have on the economy by limiting wages and employee mobility. ("Non-Compete Agreements: Analysis of the Usage, Potential Issues, and State Responses." See October 2016 Blog entry.)
Similarly, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, has called out employers for abuse of non-competes, which in some settings, have become so ubiquitous that even fast-food companies are requiring line workers to sign them. Tracking New York law, Schneiderman states that, "Unless an individual has highly unique skills or access to trade secrets, non-compete clauses have no place in a worker's employment contract." He continues, "Unscrupulous non-compete agreements not only threaten workers seeking to change jobs, they also serve as a veiled threat … Workers … should be able to change jobs and advance their careers without fear of being sued by their prior employer."
In what was a first, the NYAG used the power of his office to challenging non-compete agreements between companies and their employees. The NYAG settled two investigations brought pursuant to Section 63(12) of the New York Executive Law, which authorizes the NYAG to investigate and redress "unconscionable contractual provisions." In June 15, 2016, the NYAG announced a settlement with Law360, a prominent legal news outlet, restricting its use of non-compete agreements with members of its editorial staff. Before the settlement, the publisher required all of its editorial employees to sign agreements preventing them from working for a "direct competitor" for one year after leaving Law360. Given that Law360 is a national publication, the contract effectively prevented employees at all levels of seniority from taking another job. Under the settlement agreement, Law360 will no longer include non-compete provisions in its agreements with most editorial staff members, and it will alert former employees who left the publisher in the past year that their non-compete provisions will not be enforced.
A second settlement was with Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches ("Jimmy John's"). In a classic case of overreach, Jimmy John's franchisees based in New York will cease requiring its sandwich makers to sign non-compete provisions in connection with their employment and will void all such agreements currently in effect. Jimmy John's also will cease including sample non-compete agreements in the hiring packets that it sends to franchisees, and it will alert franchisees that the NYAG believes that such clauses are unlawful.
Significantly the NYAG has not challenged the employment agreements between senior, technical, sales, or other personnel who were more likely to have access to confidential information and trade secrets or whose relationships with clients and vendors are significant.
In sum, non-competes and other forms of restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation and no raiding provisions, are in fact alive and well and enforced by New York State and Federal courts. They are an essential tool against unfair competition and the protection of key relationships. But, they should be used sparingly and only for certain classes of employees who have knowledge of material information which could be used by a competitors to unfairly enter the market, operate at a lower cost, on a faster schedule and thus to unfairly compete.

Must love dogs! Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy is headed back to the Olympics for the second time, but before he heads to PyeongChang, South Korea, he made time to sit down with Us Weekly to tell Us about his love for his furry friends. To hear the Team USA veteran, 26, gush over his best dog friends, watch the video above from our "OlymPets Moments" series.
During the skier's first trip to the games in 2014, the Team USA veteran ended up leaving with not only a silver medal, but also a handful of rescued pups!
One of his rescued pups from Sochi now lives with his mom, Pip Tyler. "They are just obsessed with each other. My mom likes the dog more than my brothers and so [we've] been replaced!" The openly gay athlete has two older brothers, Hugh and Nick Kenworthy. He continued, "But it's good, they love each other and it's nice."
For the Olympic veteran, a dog is truly a man's best friend. "It's having a loyal and faithful companion that's by your side not matter what," he explained to Us.
Kenworthy also admitted to Us that although he loves dogs, he's not going to be winning any medals for being dog dad of the year.
"I love dogs to absolute death, but I have a hard time not letting them in the bed," he admitted. "I don't know if they're the best behaved puppies – probably in large part due to me – but they're the best dogs ever," he gushed.
To learn more about Kenworthy, visit teamusa.org. The Olympics begin February 8 and will air on NBC.
Do you think your pet has what it takes to be an Olympian? Enter your furry friend in Us Weekly's #PetOlympics contest to see if they have what it takes to win gold!

Zeitgeist scalability & efficiency bootcamp results
As Trever blogged yesterday, the Zeigeist team has been busy with tweaking the DB and the engine. During that process tools and benchmarks have been developed to make the tweaking and testing more interesting. Trever will be blogging about that tomorrow so make sure to check his blog.
Our end goal is trying to scale the engine to be able to handle a few billion events just as fast as it can handle a few hundred thousand. While we are not there yet we managed to have some pretty nice stable results for the first iteration. A lot of results show more than 100% speed enhancement. In other words a lot of queries from our standard benchmarks now consume more than 50% less time to execute. Here are some graphs of our benchmarks.
Green indicates the 0.9 release
Yellow indicates the new trunk
Most notable performance enhancement is querying Zeitgeist with a specified timeframe (from data x to date y).
Same queries with an open timeframe also improved
We also have a copy of the Synapse queries benchmarked
The queries here are typical queries used to extract info from Zeitgeist. So right now the team is really happy with the initial results. For Synapse on my local DB (over a year old), all my synapse queries perform under 0.08 seconds. We still can get more out of this. The trick here was improving our indexes and our sql query generator.
Next month we will be going through another iteration.

Knee replacement or knee arthroplasty is the reconstruction of the knee joint which is damaged by means of a surgical procedure. It aims in relieving pain as well as restoring joint motion and stability. Early attempts in treating severe joint destruction have made used of soft interpositional materials like human, animal, and synthetic membranes but none succeeded due to the materials which are not able to withstand the wear or even maintain the stability of the joint. Metallic implant materials have been developed beginning 1940 and the ceramic or metal prostheses since then became part of the knee reconstruction. The knee replacement refers to the usage of hinge-type prostheses. These days, all of the contemporary prostheses will be resurfacing the degraded joint surfaces and still the procedure is considered as replacement for the knee joint.
Nowadays, all of the prostheses make use of polyethylene intended for the tibial and frequently the patellar articulating surfaces. The metal-on-metal implants have been originally used however the corrosion occurred which led to the limitation of their success. Polyethylene has been constantly used for over forty years for the surgical procedure of knee replacement. Knee prostheses are being secured to the underlying bone with the utilization of acrylic resins or porous metal surface for anchoring cement.
The kind of knee being used for the above knee prosthesis depends on the client's level of activity, strength as well as ability of knee control, weight of the client, length of the residual limb, preference of the patient, and funding. Friction is utilized in the knees for controlling the knee joint when walking. The friction is responsible to control the distance and speed of the knee bending and straightening during gait. There are knees that have mechanical friction and others have the hydraulic resistance. The computerized knees control the knee speed depending on the gait of the client. The mechanical knees are responsible for the provision of constant friction. The computerized knees and hydraulic knees are responsible for the knee speed change based on the speed of the walking client.
Manual Locking Knee – It is the most stable knee utilized in prosthetics wherein the knee is locked at the time of gait and the client releases the lock mechanism so that he or she can sit down. These knees are intended for clients having very short residual limbs or poor hip strength as well as for those losing abilities in controlling the knee.
Single Axis Constant Friction Knees – These are basic knees that can bend freely and are utilized by kids having a lower center of gravity or for clients having excellent musculature control that walks at only one speed.
Weight Activated Stance Control Knee – It is widely used and is a single axis constant friction having a braking mechanism.
Polycentric Knees – It has variable center of rotation that allows having stable gait phases. It lets the knee to have easy bending for sitting.
Hydraulic Knees – These allow adjustments for the speed of walking using hydraulics, which include either air or liquid, within the knee.
Programmable or Computerized Knees – These make use of remote handheld, programs, or software for the adjustment of one's gait and speed in walking.Comments Off on Prosthetic Knees

Political pundits have argued that owning financial assets induces households to support business-friendly political parties. This column analyses how ownership of liberty bonds – mass marketed to US households during WWI – affected voting behaviour in the 1920s. Voters responded to fluctuations in the value of the bonds by punishing incumbents when their value fell, and rewarding them when bond values recovered. Although liberty bonds contributed significantly to Republican margins in the 1920s, they don't appear to have been decisive.

The outcome of the UK's referendum on EU membership came as a shock to most academic and policy experts. This column uses an extensive dataset of personality traits combined with socioeconomic data to show how the clustering of personality traits contributes to an understanding of the regional dispersion of the Brexit vote. Openness appears to be the trait that matters most – modest changes in this openness could actually have swung the vote across UK districts.
Vincenzo Galasso, Tommaso Nannicini, 06 June 2016
The first mixed-gender presidential election in US history is looking increasingly likely, and there is little to suggest that the tone of this campaign will be any less negative than in recent presidential elections. This column uses experiments based around two local elections in Italy to investigate whether men and women differ in their responses to positive and negative election campaigning. Among female voters, positive campaigning by an opponent increases his or her share of the votes and reduces the votes for the incumbent. Among male voters, however, it is negative campaigning by the opponent that swings votes away from the incumbent.


text: toggle menuMENU Trafficking If you want to move away from this page quickly, click on change page which will take you to the council tax web page. What is trafficking? Trafficking is defined as: 'The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power, or a position of vulnerability, or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal or organs'. Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Change page How do people become victims of trafficking? The definition of human trafficking includes three elements; first, that someone is recruited or moved second, that the movement or recruitment happened because the victim was forced or tricked into believing they were going to be doing something else. Most victims have been offered something they want or need by a trafficker such as a good job or a loving relationship the third element is that the person is exploited Note: If the victim is a child, it is considered trafficking even if there is no threat or use of force. What are the different types of exploitation? Human trafficking includes: Sexual exploitation Benefit fraud Forced labour Organ trafficking Street crime Drug trade Forced marriage Domestic servitude Change page What is the difference between trafficking and smuggling? Smuggling Crime against the state Relationship between smuggler and migrant ends after illegal border crossing and migrant has paid fees Migrant's consent to illegal border crossing is gained Trafficking Crime against the person Exploitative relationship between victim and trafficker continues in order to maximise economic gains Either no consent gained or initial consent deemed irrelevant due to force or coercion The main differences between smuggling and trafficking are that migrants usually consent to being smuggled. Traffickers generate money from the ongoing exploitation of their victims (smugglers only generate money from the movement and illegal entry, there is no further transaction). Smuggling must involve illegally crossing a border. Trafficking does not have to involve crossing a border as it can also occur within a country (also known as internal trafficking). Change page Support services The National Referral Mechanism The National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is a framework for identifying victims of human trafficking and ensuring they receive the appropriate protection and support. Under the NRM if a professional believes that they have identified a victim of trafficking then they can refer that person to a Competent Authority (CA) to have their case assessed. If the Competent Authority recognises that a woman is a victim of trafficking she is given rights that include accommodation and support. Who can Refer? Referrals can be made to the NRM by 'First responders' who should refer possible victims of trafficking to the Competent Authority who are based in UK Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC). The following agencies are first responders: National Crime Agency Police forces UK Border Force Home Office Immigration and Visas Gangmasters' Licensing Authority Local Authorities Health and Social Care Trusts (Northern Ireland) NSPCC (CTAC) BAWSO Refugee Council Salvation Army Migrant Help Medaille Trust Kalayaan Barnardos Unseen TARA Project (Scotland) New Pathways The first responder will complete a referral form to pass the case to the CA. Referral to a CA is voluntary and can happen only if the potential victim gives their permission by signing the downloadable referral form.

Those who suffer the loss of feeling in their feet have a condition that is referred to as peripheral neuropathy. Patients with diabetes are very susceptible to this condition, but there are many other causes for this. Some of these causes include post chemotherapy, vitamin deficiency, adverse reactions to medication, infection, excessive alcohol intake and autoimmune diseases. Typically a person knows that something is wrong with his or her body because they feel pain, however, those who suffer from neuropathy are unable to feel the pain, leading to foot related injuries going unattended. By this happening, any of these injuries can become exceedingly worse over time, many times even resulting in an infection, ulcers or an amputation. Here are some tips to keep you from being stuck in this sort of situation.
6 Tips to Avoid Foot Problems Related to Neuropathy
- Be sure to inspect your feet daily. You should be aware of any blisters or irritations.
- Wash your feet every day with warm water and mild soap.
- Moisturize your feet every day with lotion to ensure that your feet are soft.
- When cutting your toenails, make sure you cut them straight across. Make sure to see your podiatrist if you develop an issue such as an ingrown toenail.
- Do not acid medications to remove corns or calluses – you will probably just end up causing more damage this way.
- Don't ever go barefoot! Also make sure that the shoes you're wearing fit you correctly. Shoes that are too tight or rub your foot the wrong way can cause you some problems.

Social Institutions
The Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) measures gender-based discrimination in social norms, practices and laws across 160 countries. The SIGI comprises country profiles, a classification of countries and a database; it serves as a research, policy and advocacy tool for the development community and policy makers. The SIGI covers five dimensions of discriminatory social institutions, spanning major socio-economic areas that affect women's lives: discriminatory family code, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties. The SIGI's variables quantify discriminatory social institutions such as unequal inheritance rights, early marriage, violence against women, and unequal land and property rights.
In the Social Institutions and Gender Index 2014 Edition , Niger has very high levels of discrimination against women in social institutions. It has lower discrimination in son bias and higher discrimination in discriminatory family code. Read the full country profile and access the data here: http://www.genderindex.org/country/niger

I don't really make New Year's resolutions. Yes, I always feel the urge to exercise more and eat less as the calendar turns. But that's not really a resolution … just stating the obvious, as I sit surrounded by leftover Christmas cakes, cookies and candies.
What, really, is a resolution? Most often we think of it as an intention. A decision we make to change something about our lives or ourselves. However, I prefer Webster's first definition: Resolution—the act or process of reducing to a simpler form.
In this age, life is anything but simple most days. Just finding time to enjoy a pajama day with my sons, a date night with my husband, or a game of spades with our friends seems almost impossible. Our cell phones and laptops keep us plugged in, on schedule, and in contact, but we seem to be missing each other along the way.
How about instead of making a resolution this year, we truly experience resolution? Reducing life to a simpler form: slowing down, breathing deeply, living daily, engaging fully, giving generously, worshiping lavishly and loving completely.
What would this look like in your life? For me, it would mean having the courage to say no. For example, I don't join the Wednesday morning Bible study this time around so that I can enjoy a quiet morning at home with my coffee, worship music and Bible.
How about instead of making a resolution this year, we truly experience resolution?
For you? Maybe it would mean asking each person in your family to choose only one activity to participate in this spring; then, you could stop rushing and gather around the table for a family dinner. You could put down your phones and enjoy a conversation face-to-face, rather than text-to-text.
To experience resolution, we must evaluate our priorities, make choices, and sometimes say no to good things. It's not easy. However, we have to remember: in saying no, we are saying yes to something else: self-care, authentic connection, abiding peace, and wholehearted living.

Groovin' the Moo is a fantastic concept. A music festival that hits provincial cities, giving whole new audiences a chance to taste what the cap cities seem to be spoilt with all year 'round. I lived in Bunbury last year but didn't attend…this year in Townsville I was looking forward to it immensely.
It's a fantastic feeling simply parking the car and walking around the venue perimeter. Spying the stage rooves, seeing Channel [V] and Triple J logos, smelling the fresh-cut grass and hearing distant amplified bass. Your senses are already titillated and the anticipation builds.
The first songs I could identify were by The Last Dinosaurs, and a very familiar tune at that…they were covering Lady by Modjo. Refreshingly surprising to hear a band playing this and doing so well! I was singing just walking down the street. Then it seamlessly progressed in to Spiller's Groovejet. I was on fire before I even entered the venue! Tops.
Got through the gate, said a quick g'day to my wife who was working, distributing wristbands, and paid my respects to the end of The Last Dinosaurs' set. Good stuff!
With the vibe already set up, the day was a no fail. Across to the second stage, "Moolin Rouge", (see what they did there?) for Hungary Kids of Hungary. I've been listening to their last album quite a bit and live, these guys were total pros. Great pop songs, plenty of energy, and lots of crowd love. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire set.
While wandering to my next band, I spotted my mates and the Industry VIP section…so crawled up for a relax and a beverage. Bloody nice place to spend an afternoon.
But it's not where the action is! And you can't get dirty! So next was The Amity Affliction, and wow. In previous settings, I've been turned off by the screaming. I love my music loud… a huge fan of The Butterfly Effect, Karnivool and the like. Screaming vocals tend to put me off. But holy hell. I was not prepared for how much I would fall in love with The Amity Affliction today. Their songs are perfect. The riffs bounce and swim exactly how they're supposed to. Rhythm shifts to half and double time, kick drums and crash symbols adding layers… they can seriously write a good track and created an energy that I've rarely seen. The circle pit they created before the final song was hee-yooge! No other similar artists on the bill unfortunately, but to those who attended for a bit of metal were left pleased that they did.
Hopefully they found some gems among the rest of the lineup because there was genuinely great music throughout the day. Following TAA's set there was a DJ set of 90's hip-hop, which really got the dancing started. There were plenty of well-prepared characters in the crowd. A few customary Mario & Luigi pairs, Sailor Moon, Bananas in Pyjamas were spotted and much swooned over. But my favourite was this guy:
My wife clocked off work and joined the festival as a punter, and we made our way to Regurgitator to relive our high-school days! Everyday Formula, I Wanna Be A Nudist…I felt a bit silly singing much of their ridiculous ramblings but really did have a good time. I had enough grass space to try some late 90's style skanking, too. My highlight was when Quan said "This song's about Kung Fu Sings." Excellent. That's my favourite type of song. The below photo taken during "I Will Lick Your Asshole"
My main "geez I'm an old man" moments came from the amount of young girls showing off their own arse cheeks and sideboobs. Done in the right way, I'm a man, OK thanks for the view! But really…there were hundreds of girls just dressed inappropriately with lack of self respect. Dress for the sunny weather but keep your bits in, please. Rant done!
The rest of the evening was a blur and heady mix of music, wandering, dancing, relaxing, waiting in queues for beer, singing and smiling. As the sun went down over Tame Impala, I hit bliss when Feels Like We Only Go Backwards began. I sway my arms high, close my eyes and breathe it all in. Tegan and Sara were also excellent. They didn't chat with us in between songs, until the very last two, and wish they'd done that more. But they're excellent performers. The Kooks were also pretty flawless, and as I called it a night was left with an endless loop of the "doo doo doo" chorus from Always Where I Need To Be. Not a bad problem to have. The music stayed with me, so did the great memories of thousands of people all sharing the same experience, expelling energy, smiling, screaming and just being themselves. Music festivals are brilliant beasts and Groovin' The Moo didn't fail. I'm certain the events in Maitland, Canberra, Bendigo & Bunbury were just as successful. I enjoyed my much needed dose of live music. Here's to next year!

Michael Ondaatje, from; Divisadero
"Sometimes truth is too buried for adults, it can be found only in hours of rewritings during the night, the way metal is beaten into fineness"
This is mainly a personal finance blog. I talk about money, my money, your money, what I do with it, what I want to do with it… what you should do with it, stupid things, great things. Everything under the sun really. Interspersed with money-talk are travel-blogs and personal growth articles. Posts about sadness and happiness and frustration and posts like today.
I have insomnia. I can't sleep. I am so so so tired. Yet I can't sleep. This week has been hell on my nerves. My mind is just racing about all the things I could be doing and things I need to do tomorrow. Things I am trying to process and dreams of the future. I love the quote from Divisadero, a fantastic book.
In the night things come to me, I hammer out thoughts and layout plans. I twist and turn ideas and knead them until I have something I can work with. The way that metal is beaten into fineness.

The rain also brought lush green grass to the Arkaba Homestead garden which enticed many of the euros (kangaroo) to jump the fence in the early hours of the morning to feast on all its green loveliness. Sure enough after 24 hours Arkaba Creek bed was looking empty and dry again.

Preparation for the school environment
At Little GEMS International (LGI), we believe that every step in education is important. It has been scientifically proven that the pre-school years are the most important in students achieving their full potential and we look forward to partnering with parents along this journey.
The Little GEMS International program incorporates the Early Years Foundation Stage as a framework and is based on the latest international research on brain development in the early years. A strong parent component allows parents to observe, document and contribute to a child's learning experiences through the formative years.
As children continue their educational development, we extend to them an opportunity to join one of our schools by offering priority placements for KG1 or FS2 programs. Students must be part of a Little GEMS Emerald program (equivalent to PreK/FS1) for a full academic year to be eligible for priority placement on a school's waitlist after siblings.
Please follow the link below to start the enquiry process at Little GEMS
To discuss alternative options and discuss availability across the GEMS School network, please contact the GEMS Central Registration and Enrolment Centre.

Given the importance of teeth in the consumption of food, teeth are also essential in helping people speak coherently and clearly, ascribing teeth as an important part of any human being's body.
When talking about looks, teeth are pretty much also given a lot of emphasis, given how bright smiles are natural come-ons which anyone would smile to.
As such, keeping teeth well and healthy remains to be a top priority for anyone.
When talking about properly taking care of one's teeth, what better way is there than in getting some solid understanding over teeth – some "teeth basics", if you will.
In an effort to help you take better care of your teeth, here are some "teeth basics" for you to peruse.
The Growth Phase
As human beings grow, teeth also grow, defined by phases. First would be the rise of 20 primary teeth, which are typically referred to as "milk teeth".
At four months in the womb, a baby would already start developing his or her milk teeth, formed inside a baby's mouth.
Typically the lower front central primary teeth are first to come out, coming out within the first seven months after a baby is born. Molars, known as primary molars, would then follow, typically sometime in the first 12 to 16 months since a baby's birth.
Primary canines would then follow after the eruption of primary molars, some time within the first 16 to 20 months, with the second set of primary molars coming out within the first 20 to 30 months.
All in all, a child gets to have all of his or her milk teeth by two to three years old.
Permanent Teeth
Permanent teeth typically start coming out by around six years of age, with molars being the first to come out.
Hidden under the surface of gums, the first permanent teeth set would move upwards, with the roots of the primary teeth being resorbed after they fall out. By six to eight years of age, front teeth would begin to erupt, and by the time a child reaches twelve years old, he or she would probably have all of his or her permanent teeth.
"Wisdom teeth" typically come out somewhere after a child reaches 18 years old, thus its "wisdom" moniker, linked with 18 years old being an age of maturity.
Given that after the milk teeth phase permanent teeth are what would follow, emphasis on keeping permanent teeth healthy should be a top priority since losing them would mean that they are lost for good.
Regular brushing and flossing helps reduce the onset of cavities and periodontal disease, along with taking necessary precautions (such as gum guards for those active in contact sports) in ensuring that teeth are safe are also important.
Also regular trips to the dentist helps ensure that your teeth are at their healthiest and at their best in form.

We're doing some work regarding what makes someone 'cool' and as part of the research, we have created a questionnaire where we can try and spot any trends [interms of attitude or behaviour] that symbolise people with this 'trait'.
I know this is a contentious issue [ie: can cool ever really be defined in scientific terms] but if you could take our quick test, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi XXX
I would like to let you know that I've decided to leave the company for another opportunity on the marketing side [details not final yet so I can't divulge]
I've already spoken to XXX about this.
I need to check with you the notice period I need to serve.
In my contract it is 6 weeks because I was on Employment Pass, but since I changed status to PR, by right should I be entitled to the 4 weeks notice period as well?
Hope you can help advise.
No, I am not making it up. That's the exact email that got sent to hundreds of people this afternoon.
I don't know who this person is or what they do, but I hope they're leaving to be a comedian because they are great at making me laugh!

So a couple of days I went on a complete rant about a book I'd received from Direct Marketing company, Wunderman.
Some people thought I'd gone over-the-top because to them, it was just the usual puffery they expect from communication agencies – but I don't agree because whilst all organisations are prone to the odd bit of exaggeration, this was going against the principals the company had been set up with.
In a traditional laboratory experiment there is a cage with two levers in it:
The red lever dispenses a pellet of food when it is pushed.
The blue lever does nothing.If a few humans are then put into the cage and left there for a week, an interesting effect occurs.
What happens?
After a while, the humans will press the red lever whenever they are hungry.
And they will completely ignore the blue lever.If you then drop a market researcher into the cage, the researcher can learn about their experience.
When the market researcher questions the humans, the humans are likely to tell the researcher that they associate the red lever with statements like, 'tasty/delicious food' and 'the sort of lever I prefer'.
If the humans were sophisticated, they might also agree with statements that the red lever was 'a lever for people like them' and 'part of a positive lifestyle.'
In short, the red lever would have built up all the aspects of a strong, positive brand personality.
And without the humans having been exposed to any television advertising whatsoever.
This is fundamental to digital marketing.
The most powerful driver of brand image and purchase intent is not television. It is experience.
What the fuck are they going on about?
OK … so I agree a positive experience is more powerful than one dimensional advertising, but as for the rest of their muttering I am at a complete loss what they're trying to say.
Are they suggesting companies should kidnap their potential customers and hold them hostage till they press a lever that debits a certain amount from their credit card?
To be fair, I'm sure that would be very effective but I reckon it's going to be a bit of a bitch to get them to make repeat purchases.
And what's all this 'Tasty/delicious food' … 'the sort of lever I prefer' … 'a lever for people like them' … 'part of a positive lifestyle' bollocks?
I really, really hope they're taking the piss because otherwise they've just fucked over the market research industry as well as direct marketing and I don't think Sir Martin will be happy given his WPP group now makes more dosh from research than communication.
And then there's the small matter of what this all has to do with the net?
Alright … alright … I know the net is one of the most powerful ways to give a brand experience, short of purchasing the actual product [and sometimes, it's even better than that] but the metaphor they're using is hardly the best is it?
I mean, comparing a situation where someone lives or dies by their actions with how a company needs to be online is abit extreme … but as daft as that is, it's not nearly as fucking stupid as when they claim this is how to create a POWERFUL BRAND IMAGE!
Go on Wunderman, tell me how that works … how would putting me in a cage make me fall in love with a fucking red lever? A RED LEVER FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Let me tell you, if I was placed in a situation like the one Wunderman describes, I don't think I'd be saying …
… I think I'd be screaming …
Who writes this shit and how come they're still in a job?
There's loads more I could write – including the fact many DM companies [including Wunderman] recognise television as a powerful tool in generating consumer response – but I can't be arsed giving any more attention to an organisation who are obviously so out-of-touch so here and download your very own copy of HOW TO THINK DIGITAL because you'll be pissing yourself laughing [unless you're a Wunderman shareholder] in no time.
Still need convincing?
Alright, well let me leave with this snippet on Assessing Relative Scale [Page 63]
Here's a question for the average guy.
Should you date Paris Hilton?
The answer is no, because:
[i] She wouldn't respect you.
[ii] Her tastes would bankrupt you.
[iii] All her friends would look down on you.
The central problem: Paris Hilton as a person and as a brand is in a much stronger position than you are.
I rest my case … now get downloading, it's a real page turner 🙂

Happy Birthday Freddie … we miss you. [But not your music 🙂 ]

… for winning VB.
That reminds me, I really should put up the mood video of the ad we were hoping to make.
Let me see how politically sensitive that would be – because I'd love to show what I – and the rest of the team – were so proud and excited about. And no, I'm not talking about symphony, I'm talking about the Angelina thing!
[I know I owe you an email Ted, will call you soon. Like I promised last week, ha!]

Have a look out your window … look up … look down … look into the distance … can you imagine how different your environment would be without skyscrapers?
Would you still feel you were in a city?
Would you still think you were in the modern age?
The reason I write this is because in Cambodia, they have just unveiled the first of 3 skyscrapers they plan to build … the first that will appear in their capital. EVER.
This is a big thing for the country – not just because it shows Cambodia is worthy of foreign investment [especially when most organisations seem obsessed with China and India] – but because it provides the people of Phnom Penh with undeniable proof their country/city is progressing.
I know a while back I wrote that neon signs made cities feel big and vibrant but I was wrong – it's skyscrapers – because without them, what you end up with is Grimsby on a cold, rainy November night.

Lifetime regression
In meditating on acceptance throughout the day, I was taken to a point of contemplating the True Self.
My definition for the True Self is this: who you are when you are not reacting to internal or external phenomena. By this I mean we are most often reacting to either a tangible event in our lives, or our fears and paranoias that have accumulated over a lifetime of experiencing such events … events that we are hoping to avoid.
Over time these reactions can become an extremely complex web we spin for ourselves, a web that comes in many forms: white lies and subtle manipulations, at first. As we go further down the road, we see that we keep getting what we want and it continues to evolve. The problem is … that person is not our True Self. You can't even find the True Self in the midst of all that chaos.
When we truly get to a point of acceptance (something which many wrongly construe as resignation) we allow all of these "chains" that bind us to disappear … the web dissolves. What we are left with is the True Self.
When you can accept where you are, or what has happened, or what might happen, or might not … and let go of it, allow it to be? Then you can breathe deeply and realize that you are free. Now, with a clear head, you can move forward as your True Self. That person who is following Spiritual guidance, as opposed to man-made constructs.
I went back in time; wondering if there was ever another point in my life where that True Self was evident. Certainly not in my memory. I went back to infancy. Many believe that "mankind is fallen", even from birth. I just don't believe that this is true (having looked into the eyes of many babies). That is our soul as the True Self.
What happens though is that we are quickly trained that if we cry, we get what we want. We learn that by taking our fate into our own hands, we can make the world do what we want. That trait is encouraged and empowered throughout our lives. The more aggressive we are, the better. Most often that does not concur with what God wants us to be. When was a child rewarded for sitting in a room, meditating, and being with God? In certain cultures that may be the case, but not in American culture, for the most part.
So the search for the True Self is really about undoing everything that has been trained and ingrained.
My ultimate point is that when our focus is on God … we can trust God to guide us. When I say that we need to go through a lifetime regression I am not saying there should be no rules. I am saying that we should spend our time listening to God for such guidance … instead of relying on man-made crutches. If God REALLY is there … why do we need anyone else to tell us what God is saying?
We should let be letting go of all of the negative reactions we have allowed, accepting where we are, and then moving forward in life as that True Self … not reacting, but ACTING as we are guided by God.
In order to get to that place though … each of us has to let go of our tangled web we've woven. We have to take the time to sit, and connect, and listen to what God has to share with us. We must let go of control, throw our arms wide and TRUST.
I realize that many people get nervous about something so unstructured … but I believe that when God is the basis of any action, LOVE will be the result. It is a curious musing that I found myself on today … I welcome any and all to agree, disagree, or expound.
Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don't belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don't need to cringe when we hear the words "God", or "religion", or their judgments … God LOVES us all!
There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.
By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.
In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.

New Song For Collaboration – Unconditional Love (Reggae singer wanted)
This project seems completely boundless … a reggae singer audition!? I hope this collaborative music idea works, because I want to hear it … not to mention be involved in it! Maybe I should practice channeling a reggae vibe (lol).
This past week I was filled with inspiration to write a new song. I already have a lot of original songs lined up for this song project … but every so often a song comes along that is SO inspired that it rises up through the "ranks" and shines.
Interestingly enough, I hear the song as a reggae song … and anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a reggae singer! (lol) So this will be a HUGE opportunity for someone possibly new or unheard of to swing for the fences with a lead vocal!!
If you want to be considered for the lead vocal of this new reggae Musical Mosaic project, send me a recording of you singing whatever you want (email@example.com). I will go with whoever MOVES me the most. This is a song about Unconditional Love, so if you share your soul when you sing … go for it!
I will intro this awesome new song at a later date, as I do not want to take away from the current Musical Mosaic song project. Listen to the current song project here, "Faith Is A Bird", and record whatever you think will sound awesome as an accompaniment. Whatever your instrument, I want to hear where your unique Muse takes you during your own flight of inspiration!
Don't let Resignation hold you back … aren't you SICK of being resigned yet???
Open your heart and let it fly out! Send me your recording in a .WAV file at email@example.com. If your accompaniment is selected you will receive EQUAL musical songwriting credit for this song on the album.

Live demonstrations of musical options for song project …
Cute and definitely funny … can't wait to hear how the final version of how this song comes out and I love the concept of incorporating different people, styles and ideas from all over the world.
Here are a few video clips giving tips or pointers for anyone not quite sure how to contribute their ideas, or get started.
My sister-in-law came up with the idea of putting together some videos that might help people who are unclear on how to contribute music for this song project. She was unsure of where to even start if she would want to contribute something and thought this might be helpful for people who felt the same way (intimidated or unsure how to get started).
I truly want to hear from EVERYONE who has an interest in contributing their voice, whether you are amateur or professional. I will be layering tracks of peoples' contributions into the accompaniment, so even if you think what you have to offer is simplistic … that is totally fine.
You finding your "voice" in terms of instrument or singing is what is important to me. Each of you has a UNIQUE voice. First, I am starting with my niece and nephew with some pointers for guitar and voice:
Secondly, we travel into the comedic world of my brother and his eldest daughter, allowing the muse to move them in the art of table drumming (comedy ensues, lol):
… and lastly my sister-in-law demonstrates how you might get started on coming up with an accompaniment on piano:
So there you have it … you do NOT have to be a professional musician to contribute (although that doesn't hurt!) :-). Just listen to the song, play around with different ideas musically, and then record whatever you think sounds good! Send your recording to me at email@example.com as a .WAV file.
If your arrangement is selected as part of the finished version of the song, you will be given equal musical songwriting credit on the album.
You can listen to the vocal version of the song, "Faith Is A Bird", here:

The Comfort of Control
It's so much easier to feel connected to God when things are going well. Have you ever wondered why that is?
This was the subject of my meditation time today and I discovered some interesting things.
For me, the most intimate connection I have with God is when I have taken the time to ground and center myself. I open my heart chakra and make myself completely vulnerable … and I allow the Spirit to just fill me up. Then I proceed into what usually is an hour long meditation time where I am basking in that, and asking questions, and listening for answers, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and opening myself more and more internally so that God can then fill those places as well.
This is what spending time with God means to me.
In looking at the opposite, the times where I feel distant from God, I discovered that the REAL reason for it is really all based in MY decisions. Sure, it is stressful when finances disappear, or you get blindsided by a catastrophe, or perhaps it's just one of those days where something isn't quite aligned and you pay the price.
In all of these situations though, I am the one who closes my heart. I am the one who severs that sacred cord of connectivity that flows from my heart to God and back again.
Those blindsides seem to cause almost a knee-jerk reaction … like you don't even have time to make a decision! I will bet though that somewhere along the line there was a conscious decision. The initial closing of the heart might have been a knee-jerk reaction … but KEEPING it closed is the conscious aspect. We don't want to let go of the precious control we feel we have (but actually do not). We want to comfort ourselves with food, or relationships, or going out and getting more money, or addictive behaviors. Those are the conscious choices.
Try it out just once … don't take it on as a "should" to take on for your whole life. Just once, when you feel blindsided or in despair and you want to turn to those things that are your adult "security blanket" … stop yourself. Take fifteen minutes to open your heart back up and allow God to fill that space … let go of the control you think you have, or at least want.
Then, if you still want that cheeseburger, or cocktail, or more work to get more money, or an ogle of admiration … go get it. Just notice the difference … see if there is one after having taken some time to open your heart back up. There's nothing wrong with some of these things we use to comfort ourselves … it's the reason that we use them.
Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it.

Better ways to spend your time?
Bringing inspiration to the world is a very spiritual endeavor, I would say. Can't wait to hear what this sounds like!
Collaborative Composition: Musical Mosaics that span the globe
Tired of being bored? What gives you passion and makes you feel as if you are "living on the edge"? For me, that feeling comes from being inspired and contributing something that is completely unique to me.
That concept is at the core of this new Musical Mosaic project … HOORAY, finally someone who really WANTS to hear exactly what is unique about you!!!
I have uploaded the first "a capella" (vocal, without accompaniment) song of what will be a 12 song album … and here it is, "Faith Is A Bird":
I want to hear from any and ALL of you as to what YOU think would sound cool as an accompaniment. Whether you are professional, amateur, or music afficionado … you have a voice. You could be a pianist, a singer, a guitarist, a drummer, a crystal singing bowl wizard, or literally ANY kind of musical creation known to man. If it is your voice, I want to hear it!
All you have to do is put an earbud in your ear, listen to the sung version of the song … and record whatever comes to you. You can take some time to really hone what you want to contribute … or you can do it on the fly. It's YOUR voice, so do what you want to do. Express yourself!
Whoever is selected will receive equal musical songwriting credit for that song on the album … what do you have to lose? I really, truly want to hear from YOU … send me your recordings at firstname.lastname@example.com and let's make some revolutionary music together!

Well, I just got back from Spring Break, and my legs freaking HURT. They've become so useless after 40 hours or so of driving down and back from Florida.
Fortunately, I've gotten some decent footage of my brother's band, and will be making a small music video to their song, FALLING. The band is called "SO IT GOES," and is some sorta metal…thing. I don't know, music isn't my forte.
I'll have the video posted shortly.
Other than that, working on stuff.
Congrats to Dan Gvozden on being purchased as a screenwriter by New Line. You LUCKY BASTARD!
Film Club is going well.
Just random notes today, guys and gals.

Hollywood has been active in politics since the beginning. Usually, one thinks that all of Hollywood is liberal, but in fact, those who have become politicians, like Ronald Reagan, have been Republicans. But actors also endorse candidates.
Actor Jon Voight recently endorsed Donald Trump, saying:
"He's an answer to our problems. We need to get behind him. The Republicans need to unite behind this man. We need somebody to go in and reconstruct us in a sort of way, get us back to where we were, who we need to be."
It wasn't a big surprise, since Voight has been a close friend of Trump for many years, adding—
We were part of his weddings. We were there to see all his children's births. We were part of his great shows: Miss Universe, The Apprentice — and all know, without a doubt, his life has been an open book.
Of course, most of Hollywood seems to like Bernie Sanders, but Voight has been a vocal Republican for years.
Now, Fortune Magazine reports that Happy Days actor Scott Baio is also for Trump, saying he is the only candidate Baio can understand.
During an interview on Sunday on Fox News with Judge Jeanine Pirro, 55 year old actor Scott Baio said that he is supporting Trump for president, joining the likes of Kid Rock and Aaron Carter. When she asked why he answered: "It's very simple. When he speaks, I understand him. He speaks like I speak. He also expressed his frustration with Washington saying that he wants the anti-establishment candidate to go in and "blow it up."
Obviously, the most famous actor-turned politician is Ronald Reagan. But there have been many more, such as Arnold Schwartzenegger, former governor of California. Then, there was Fred Thompson, who was in politics during the Nixon era, then an actor, then senator, and presidential candidate. Others include US Representatives Sonny Bono (Sonny & Cher), and Fred Grandy ("Gopher" on the Love Boat). All Republican.
In fact, while we think of Hollywood as being a Democratic stronghold, Wikipedia reports that 15 famous Republican actors became serious politicians, while only 11 Democrats have. One of them is a sitting senator, Al Franken.
In January of 2014, Clay Aiken (runner-up on American Idol) announced that he planned to run for the US House in North Carolina. At that time, people complained that entertainers should not be involved in politics, just because they had name recognition. I said that we do "know" actors—their personality and temperament.
In fact, I said that if Democrats were smart, they'd nominate Jerry Springer for something. He was mayor of Cincinnati and seemed to have a very bright future. That is, until he used a personal check to pay for a hooker. The worst part is that the check bounced. Seriously. Even so, we've seen candidates use drugs and have other shady dealings. He wouldn't have been alone.
Well, a couple weeks ago, there was talk about running Springer for president, according to the Inquisitor.
The reasoning is that Hillary is seems boring, and Bernie is seen as too old, too strident, too aloof, and well, too secular. If the Democrats have an "open" convention, as the GOP may, Democrats will have to find a compromise candidate—preferably someone who can connect with people a lot better than their current candidates.
The Inquisitor says—
You probably thought it wasn't possible, but the presidential race could get even weirder. While some have commented that the last GOP debate was reminiscent of an episode of The Jerry Springer Show, it appears the former Cincinnati mayor turned TV host may consider really making the presidential race into an episode of Springer. This is not — I repeat — not satire.
And, characteristically, Springer sees the light side of such a campaign:
Jerry Springer told Mic he's open to running for president if enough people express the interest. Brace yourselves for #RecruitJerry.
I'd love to see a debate between Trump and Springer. No other Democrat (or current GOP candidate) has the personality to match Trump's bravado. Of course, Springer sees the humor in it:
"If I ever ran against Trump, there really would be a wall built on the Mexican border. You'd have to build a wall to keep Americans from trying to get out."
Imagine it for a second.
Second's up.
Jerry Springer was born in Highgate, part of greater London, England, so he's not eligible. Of course, we've had John McCain (born in Panama) and Ted Cruz (born in Canada). Any chance we might elect a Brit? The Founding Fathers would spin in their graves!
For the sake of discussion, do you have a suggestion of a famous personality who could arise to save us from our current crop of candidates??

Plaintiff brought a medical malpractice action against his back surgeon and the hospital where his back surgery was performed claiming he was not a proper candidate for the surgery (plaintiff was morbidly obese) as well as negligence in its performance from misplaced pedicle screws and the failure to recognize post-operative cauda equine syndrome, which left the plaintiff with erectile dysfunction and the inability to feel the passage of urine or feces.
Prior to trial we obtained dismissal of several claims against the hospital. The claims which remained against the hospital for trial was that our x-ray technologist allegedly dropped the patient during transfer from a gurney to an x-ray table nine days post op, which allegedly caused internal bleeding that contributed to the plaintiff's cauda equine syndrome.
After plaintiff's expert testified that plaintiff was not a proper surgical candidate, that the surgery was improperly done and that codefendant failed to work up symptoms consistent with cauda equine syndrome, the codefendant surgeon testified he had done the procedure properly and that plaintiff never developed cauda equine syndrome post-discharge, but rather plaintiff had symptoms consistent with his deteriorating underlying spinal disease. The surgeon also put on experts in surgery, neuro-monitoring and urology.
Our surgery expert described how our x-ray technologists performed a proper guided transfer in the x-ray room and testified that the plaintiff suffered no injury at their hands. Our two x-ray techs had no recollection of the patient, but ably explained how they typically do guided transfers and denied ever dropping a patient.
Plaintiff subpoenaed two nurses to read their two notes into the chart referring to the alleged drop, but neither had any recollection of the patient.
On cross-examination Arthur Cohen obtained an admission from the plaintiff that by "drop" he really meant that he felt his back come into contact with the x-ray table.
After closing arguments plaintiff asked the jury for $2.1. The jury unanimously found no deviations from the accepted standards of care for either defendant.

With Valentine's Day coming our way, the new Rosa Mundi Collection a collaboration by Diptyque and Antoinette Poisson, is something to take a look at when V-day shopping, with it's refreshing rose scent. Who needs a bouquet of roses when you can have an amazingly scented candles and fragrance, read on to find out what this collection is all about.
The Rosa Mundi Collection, A Meeting Between Diptyque and Antoinette Poisson (limited edition)
Antoinette Poisson are three young and passionate wall deco designers. Who in conjunction with Valentine's Day, were asked by diptyque to collaborate and illustrate a fragrance with the Rosa Mundi rose and transpose it in some way to paper. This led to the creation of this collection, both olfactory and visual, a limited edition designed according to pure diptyque tradition : an art of living that combines interior decoration, fragrances and objects within a refined universe. As for the print of this collection, it combines figurative motifs and geometric patterns designed exclusively by Antoinette Poisson for diptyque : a fresh, floral, luminous evocation based on the rose and a simple, vibrant graphic design. The hand coloured rose prints is certainly killing it as the simple and minimalist hipster inside of me would say...:P
The Rosa Mundi Limited Edition Collection comes in candle, scented oval, Eau Dominotee multi-use fragrance, drawer liners, sheet of domino paper, domino paper postcard, Eau Rose roll-on, hand cream and solid perfume.
Rosa Mundi 190g candle (RM 295 / USD 68) || Rosa Mundi 70g (RM 175 / USD 35)
Rosa Mundi Scented Oval (RM 255 / USD 50)
Eau Dominotee Multi-Use Fragrance 200ml (RM 399 / USD 90) || Eau Rose 100ml (RM 450 / USD 101) || Eau Rose Roll-On 20ml (RM 225 / USD 50) || Eau Rose Hand Cream (RM 149 / USD 33) || Eau Rose Solid Perfume *new (RM 229 / USD 51)
I think the reason that I love The Rosa Mundi collection primarily is due to the fact that the handprinted designs of the print is simple yet pretty, just the way I like it. Also the subtle rosy yet refreshing scent of the candle and perfume make a lovely Valentine's Day gift rather than getting a bouquet of roses, which will only last you for a few days. So if you are looking for a V-day gift, look no further... ;)
The Rosa Mundi Collection by Diptyque & Antoinette Poisson is available at Diptyque Pavilion, KENS BSC, KENS BV-II, KENS 1 Utama, KENS KLCC & KENS Gardens, starting from January 2017 onwards.
