Six of Windsor's top vocal talents dazzled their audience during the inaugural show in the New Voices concert series, King of the World – The Songs of Jason Robert Brown, last Saturday (March 9) at Rockstar Music Hall. This show in the concert series, created in partnership between 401 Productions and Post Productions Windsor, featured the career of the Tony-award-winning composer and lyricist, including material from Broadway, off-Broadway and the world of pop music.
The multi-talented singers, all with live theatre credits to their name, included Benjamin Doncom, Sara Fontaine, Nathanael Judah, Kaitlyn Karns, and Florine Ndimubandi with a special appearance by Michael Roy. The live band led by Music Director Nicholas Morvay on piano – best known for his work with Windsor Light Music Theatre and St. Clair College productions – included Ryan Fontaine on bass, Erik Ingalls on guitar, and Vanessa Harnish on drums.
The music of Jason Robert Brown is familiar to Windsor audiences, thanks to local productions of his shows Songs for a New World and The Last Five Years. In fact, University of Windsor Jazz performance piano major Sam Poole, boldly took on all aspects of producing Songs For A New World early last February as part of his graduation project.
During intermission, 401 Productions' and show Director David Burrows took the time to talk with Eyes On Windsor. Burrows has been a performer and director in the Windsor area for over 20 years, with recent directing credits including Legally Blonde, Mary Poppins, Company and Fun Home. "My friend Sam Poole and I were talking about a series like this," explained Burrows. He was doing his grad recital in a show called Songs For A New World, which is by the same composer as tonight's show. I thought why not extend that into something like this and then extend it beyond that."
The New Voices concert series is designed to showcase the work of contemporary songwriters, while also providing a stage for young local talent. Coming up in June will be the second entry in the series, The Greatest Showmen, shining a spotlight on the work of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Burrows says their Broadway credits include "Dear Evan Hansen, and their songs have been featured in films like The Greatest Showman, and La La Land. On TV they were featured in Smash, off-broadway in Dog Fight and Edges. So there's lots of shows to choose from."
The third New Voices concert series production, Unsung Heroes, will take place in the Fall. "It's going to focus on names you don't recognize from the hot new shows right now like Legally Blonde, Hamilton, and Waitress," Burrows told us.
One of the challenges in producing King Of The World was selecting songs from Jason Robert Brown's huge catalog. "One of the challenges of preparing for the show was choosing what songs to incorporate because Jason has a 20-year catalog of songs to choose from," explained Burrows. The flawless performance by the cast on Saturday night from solos, duos, and the full cast harmonizing together, is testament to the skillfully selected songs. From performers to the venue, the songs chosen by the producers fit well in the context of the show.
While the cast all have performed in theatre productions, King of The World, was not a musical nor was it a play, it was a night of incredible singing. The show opened with the full cast taking the stage singing, solo and all together at times, State Road 21 from Bridges of Madison County. Song selections also came from Songs for a New World, 13, Honeymoon in Vegas, The Last Five Years, Parade, and some of Jason's solo recordings. One song, powerfully performed by Florine Ndimubandi, Jason's Song (Gave It Away), was written by Jason for and with pop star Ariana Grande, who recorded and released the song. The last song performed, Wait Till You See What's Next, from Jason's most recent and second solo album, How We React and How We Recover, was well performed by the full cast including special guest Michael Roy (Windsor Light Music Theatre).
While the cast thrilled the audience with their vocals they are known for their lead roles in local theatre productions: Benjamin Doncom most recently starred in Heathers, Catch Me If You Can (Cardinal Music Productions), and was the winner of the Raise Your Voice singing competition His first single and music video Chasing Ghosts was just released with a the full EP set to come out on March 18; Sara Fontaine has performed with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, Windsor Light Music Theatre, and most recently starred in Company and Fun Home (Korda Artistic Productions). Her band The New Standard performs modern hits with a jazz twist; Nathanael Judah is a third-year student at St. Clair College, where he has performed in The Boy Friend and will be in the upcoming production of Into the Woods in April; Kaitlyn Karns is best known for her starring roles in The Addams Family (Cardinal Music Productions) and Fun Home (Korda Artistic Productions); Florine Ndimubandi wowed audiences last season in Dreamgirls, and is poised to do the same this year in The Wiz opening on March 22nd (Arts Collective Theatre).
The New Voices concert series is an opportunity for local theatre companies to work with together. "Although Post Productions and I are working together, people on the stage are in other companies like Windsor Light Music Theatre, ACT Windsor, and Korda," explained Burrows. "They're all here up on stage together, it's about promoting all the arts in the city and supporting each other. In the audience you might recognize some faces."
Some of the recognizable faces in the audience included Michael K. Potter and Fay Lynn (Post Productions), Chris Rabideau (ACT Windsor), and Becca Silvius who recently choreographed and played Sarah Brown in Migration Hall's production of Guys and Dolls.
King of The World runs for one final performance on March 16th – at Rockstar Music Hall, 2418 Central Ave, in Windsor, Ontario. Performances begin at 7:30pm, with the doors opening at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $20 for General Admission seating, and are available online at Eventbrite, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets will also be available at the door on performance nights – first come, first served – one half hour before each performance begins. This is an all ages show. Minors are welcome, provided they are accompanied by an adult.
About 401 Productions
David Burrows says, "401 Productions started a few years back, as I planned to launch a new company in Windsor to stage new plays, small scale musicals and even cabaret-style events. In the intervening years, new companies began to arise to fill that niche, such as Post Productions, Ghostlight Players, The Edge and others. In such a crowded field, it seemed like a better idea to partner with other companies to help bring a shared vision of community theatre to the stage. I put those plans on hold for a bit while I was directing a couple of shows at Korda Artistic Productions (COMPANY, FUN HOME), but then saw an opportunity to stage a series of shows featuring some of Windsor's top musical talent. I brought the idea to Post Productions as a co-production, and they were eager to be involved. This became the New Voices series."
"My wife and I are the key partners in 401 Productions, though we are assisted in a number of ways (administrative, design, marketing, production) by several others. This will change from project to project, as the nature of the shows we produce will embrace a number of genres. It is early days for the company, but we do have big plans."

The descriptions for intermediate and complex repairs have been clarified
including adding the description for limited and extensive undermining.
Intermediate Repair- Intermediate repair includes the repair of wounds that,
in addition to the above, require layered closure of one or more of the deeper
layers of subcutaneous tissue and superficial (non-muscle) fascia, in addition
to the skin (epidermal and dermal) closure. It includes limited undermining
(defined as a distance less than the maximum width of the defect, measured
perpendicular to the closure line, along at least one entire edge of the defect)
Single-layer closure of heavily contaminated wounds that have required
extensive cleaning or removal of particulate matter also constitutes
intermediate repair.
Complex repair- Complex repair includes the repair of wounds that in
addition to the requirements for intermediate repair, require at least one of the
following; exposure of bone, cartilage, tendon, or named neurovascular
structure; debridement of wound edges (e.g. traumatic lacerations or
avulsions); extensive undermining (defined as the distance greater than or
equal to the maximum width of the defect, measured perpendicular to the
closure line along at least one entire edge of the defect); involvement of free
margins of helical rim, vermillion border, or nostril rim; placement of
retention sutures. Necessary preparation includes creation of a limited
defect for repairs or the debridement of complicated lacerations or avulsions
Scar revision has been removed from the description of complex repair.
Per the AMA, Scar revision in which skin is excised and closure is
performed should be coded as excision of benign lesion. This code will be
considered included in most other surgical procedures.

Technology and medicine are often in conjunction with one another - it isn't uncommon for the medical sphere to take advantage of technological developments to advance care in medical fields of all kinds. It may sometimes take time for certain types of technology to be used for medical purposes, but once it all gets started, the benefits and impact can be very significant. 3D printing is a technology advancing the medical field. Since being integrated into medicine, orthopedic surgeons have been able to use it for new and revolutionary ways to truly make a difference in patient's lives. Below, we'll walk you through the basics of how 3D printing is used in orthopedics and the benefits that it can have for both physicians and patients.
How is 3D Printing Used in Orthopedics?

Predestination is theoretically defined as an action or event or a multitude of circumstances that have been willed by God, a supreme or higher authority, or consequentially a superior plane of consciences.
Externally predestination is often explicitly and unequivocally in opposition to and incompatible and in contradiction to the theory and practice of human free will, as well as the notion of randomness.
Human free will garners the capacity to determinate, discriminate, make distinction, judgment and choice, metaphysically or other wise. In the realm of human free will is there a dispute or is there the presence of occupancy, coexistence and inevitability of the predetermined factor, or does it dwell divergently within an independent domain?
Randomness is thought to be the execution of an act that is unintentional, unforeseen, indiscriminate, and accidental. Randomness by its very nature lacks a given pattern of predictability, standardization, or uniformity. It is thought that a random sequence of events, and circumstances has no order and does not follow an intelligible, comprehensible pattern or combination. Singular, respective or individual random events are determined to be unpredictable. Is there or can there be an analogous kinship between the predetermined and that of the unplanned existence of randomness?
For is there greater significances in the unseen or the barely acknowledged, than that, that is revealed and disclosed. Is there a scale of distinction between what is thought as ecumenical and that, that is minimally observed.
Does the process of decomposing vegetation in the terra incognita occupy more value than witnessing the marvels of human accomplishment?
Does the lethargic metamorphic transition from stone to sand hold greater vital significance than the onset of world conflict?
Can we acknowledge what is defined as accidental is in actuality quite deliberate. Is nothing incidental or is it only perceived as such to designate, construe, or compartmentalize the reality between the sustained or that of the immediate.
One must also realize there is no actual concrete difference between the tangible and the unsubstantial . We assume that tangibility only prevails in the material, and that it occupies space, structurally or other wise. Are not thoughts, dreams, interpretations and perceptions also tangible. and discernible.
Tangibility, and distinguishability can be singular and not necessarily plural entities. For is not genuine truth tangible? For truth is the existence of actuality, and tangibility is within the realm of definiteness, objectiveness, and embodiment.
Yet is not truth unquestionably, and legitimately subjective. Reflection and thought are not material entities within the Bailiwick of tradition. , for they are not clearly defined or conventionally assumed.
Tangibility is not vague or elusive and is fashioned as being palpable by nature. Truth too is in the realm of factualness, yet truth may not be true or sincere from an objective view point or frame of reference, given that it is actually in reality concretely subjective in nature.

Jiggly jello shots may bring back non-glamorous memories of college parties, but they don't have to be equated with wild debauchery. Nope — these pink champagne-infused jello shots take party delights to the chic level. We recommend dusting each with festive glitter or stylish toppers, then presenting them on a gorgeous tray. The result: a sophisticated treat that's appropro for any New Year's Eve get-together.
Here's what you need:
- 3-oz box of strawberry or raspberry jello
- 1.5 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cream soda
- 1 cup pink champagne
- Edible pearl/shimmer dust
- Plastic shot glasses
- Edible glitter stars
- Toppers
- Pretty tray
Yields 12 shots.
Step 1: Bring a Little Heat
Empty the contents of your strawberry or raspberry jello into a heat-safe bowl, then add your one cup of boiling water. Whisk until the powder has completely dissolved, which should take only a few minutes.
Step 2: Bring on the Champagne & Soda
Next, add your cold champagne and cream soda to the jello liquid. The mixture will get a little foamy, but that's OK! Allow the foam to settle for about five minutes, then spoon out any excess from the top. This will make for prettier, clearer jello shots. Next, transfer the liquid to a container with a spout for easy pouring. (Note that the jello shots are a little less potent since they're made with champagne instead of vodka.)
Step 3: Add a Touch of Glitter
Once transferred, add 1 teaspoon of your edible shimmer dust. We found ours at a local craft store, but it's also available online or anywhere you may find baking supplies. Mix well. (Psst: Though it's a little tricky to capture just how glittery and swirly this makes the jello, we promise it's super pretty and that your guests will be impressed!)
Step 4: Pour & Chill Out
Finally, pour the mixture into plastic shot glasses. We found ours at the Dollar Store (10/$1), but they're pretty easy to come by elsewhere, too! Place in the fridge for about four hours, or overnight.
Above is a picture of a cooled jello shot — check out that glitter action!
Step 5: Decorate & Enjoy
After the shots have cooled completely, you're free to decorate. Though the shots themselves will last for up to 10 days (covered) in the fridge, we recommend adding glitter stars (ours are from Wilton) only an hour or so before your event since they are made to dissolve. You can add festive toppers at any time, though. If you really want to get crafty, you could make your own toppers with toothpicks, paper, and a touch of glue.
For a sophisticated display, place your jello shots on a pretty dish and add some confetti for good measure.

In communion with Our Lady of Mount Carmel help us,
dear Lord, to arrive at last at the mountain which is Christ who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
In communion with Our Lady of Mount Carmel help us,
dear Lord, to arrive at last at the mountain which is Christ who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
Father Paul Wattson, the founder with Mother Lurana White, of the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Atonement, gave hundreds of sermons, conducted numerous retreats, delivered many radio addresses and wrote extensively in four magazines: The Pulpit of the Cross, The Lamp, The Candle and The Antidote.
The following piece is Father Wattson's commentary on the feast of Our Lady of the Atonement. This Marian feast was approved by the Holy See in 1946 but it was first observed in July 1901.
The theological datum on atonement and therefore mercy, is near-and-dear to the heart of the Church and indeed to all Christians, so today's feast is apt. Let us pray for each other!
I am writing this letter on the day which we are accustomed to observe at Graymoor in special honor of Our Lady of the Atonement. This particular name of Our Blessed Mother is very dear to us and we believe it is dear to Our Lady herself. We hold it as among the most treasured and sacred traditions of our Institute that it was the Blessed Virgin who first taught us to call her by that name and there are cogent reasons why she should give this title a favorite place among the many by which she is invoked.
First among these reasons must be her own devotion to the mystery of the Atonement, for it was by the death of her son on the Cross, which cost him the last drop of his blood and made her preeminently the mother of sorrows, that the wall of division between God and man was broken down and both were made one (Ephesians 2:14), through Christ's atoning sacrifice.
As the Blessed Virgin is inseparably associated with our divine redeemer in the mystery of his incarnation, so is she closely associated with him in the great act of the atonement. Thus, is she always represented in the Gospel and in the liturgy and thought of the Catholic Church as standing by the cross, when Christ was crucified there.
There is a second reason, hardly less weighty than the first, why the title, Our Lady of the Atonement, should powerfully appeal to the mother of God. It was through the Incarnation she become the mother of Christ, but through the atonement she became the new Eve and the mother of all the regenerate, who being redeemed by the precious blood are predestined to eternal life as the adopted sons of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven. The third time Our Lord spoke upon the cross it was to emphasize this phase of the Atonement, when he said to his mother: "Woman, behold your son," and to St. John, "Son, behold your mother." [John 19:26-27] Thus by virtue of the atonement Mary is the mother of all who live through Christ. Can anyone therefore possibly conceive the depth of significance this title "Our Lady of the Atonement" must possess for Our Blessed Mother herself?
But someone will ask, if so highly esteemed, why should it be kept hidden for nineteen hundred years, to be made known to the faithful in the twentieth century? Is it not the custom even of earthly mothers to preserve the choicest
fruits in the summer time and hide them away under lock and key, to bring them forth to their children's delight in the depth of winter and did not the master of the wedding feast say to the bridegroom at Cana,
Every man at first brings forth good wine and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now. [John 2:10]
"My ways are not your ways," [Isaiah 55:8] says the Lord of Hosts.
(The Lamp, August 1919, pp.503-4)
Rejoice we all in the Lord, as we keep festival in honor of
the Blessed Virgin Mary: whose solemnity makes angels joyful and sets them
praising the Son of God. Joyful the thoughts that well up from my heart, I
shall speak of the works of the King
Mother of Perpetual Help,
with the greatest confidence
we come before your holy picture
to be inspired by the example of your life.
We think of you at that moment when,
full of faith and trust,
you accepted God's call
to be the mother of his Son.
Help us, your children,
to accept with joy our own calling in life.
When you learned that your cousin Elizabeth was in need
you immediately went to serve her
and offer your help.
Help us, like you,
to be concerned for others.
We think of you, Mother,
at the foot of the cross.
Your heart must have bled
to see your Son in agony.
But your joy was great
when he rose from the dead,
victorious over the powers of evil.
Mother of Sorrows,
help us through the trials and
disappointments of life.
Help us not to lose heart.
May we share with you and your Son
the joy of having courageously faced up
to all the challenges of life.
Pope John Paul II, in his Angelus Address of July 2, 1989
"The Spirit molded the Heart of Jesus in the womb of Mary, who
collaborated actively with him as mother and educator. As mother, she adhered
knowingly and freely to the salvific plan of God the Father…. As educator, she
had molded the Heart of her son; with Saint Joseph she introduced him to the
traditions of the Chosen People, inspired in him a love for the Law of the
Lord, communicated to him the spirituality of the 'poor of the Lord.' She had
helped him to develop his intellect and exercised a sure influence in the
formation of his character. …Therefore we can truly say: in the Heart of Christ
there shines forth the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit; in it there is also
reflected the heart of his Mother. May every Christian heart be like the Heart
of Christ: obedient to the Spirit's action and to the Mother's voice."
Have you thought much about the terrific connection between the Blessed Mother and the Holy Spirit? There is an ever stronger interest in my heart that is building in me to experience more fully this intimacy, this desire of the Lord that is known in the heart of Mary. I mentioned it the other day by suggesting using some of the mysteries of the rosary to allow us to consider that intimacy between the Divine and the human. The Pope gave the follow meditation yesterday evening, the Vigil of Pentecost:
I greet all of you with affection at the end of the
traditional Marian vigil that concludes the month of May in the Vatican. This
year it has acquired a very special value since it falls on the eve of
Pentecost. Gathering together, spiritually recollected before the Virgin Mary,
contemplating the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, you have relived the experience
of the first disciples, gathered together in the room of the Last Supper with
"the Mother of Jesus," "persevering and united in prayer"
awaiting the coming of the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 1:14). We too, in this
penultimate evening of May, from the Vatican hill, ask for the pouring out of
the Spirit Paraclete upon us, upon the Church that is in Rome and upon the
whole Christian people.
The great Feast of Pentecost invites us to meditate upon the
relationship between the Holy Spirit and Mary, a very close, privileged,
indissoluble relationship. The Virgin of Nazareth was chosen beforehand to
become the Mother of the Redeemer by the working of the Holy Spirit: in her
humility, she found grace in God's eyes (cf. Luke 1:30). In effect, in the New
Testament we see that Mary's faith "draws," so to speak, the Holy
Spirit. First of all in the conception of the Son of God, which the archangel
Gabriel explains in this way: "The Holy Spirit will descend upon you and
the power of the Most High will overshadow you" (Luke 1:35). Immediately
afterward Mary went to help Elizabeth, and when her greeting reached
Elizabeth's ears, the Holy Spirit made the child jump in the womb of her
elderly cousin (cf. Luke 1:44); and the whole dialogue between the two mothers
is inspired by the Spirit of God, above all the "Magnificat," the
canticle of praise with which Mary expresses her sentiments. The whole event of
Jesus' birth and his early childhood is guided in an almost palpable manner by
the Holy Spirit, even if he is not always mentioned. Mary's heart, in perfect
consonance with the divine Son, is the temple of the Spirit of truth, where
every word and every event are kept in faith, hope and charity (cf. Luke 2:19,
We can thus be certain that the most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
in his whole hidden life in Nazareth, always found a "hearth" that
was always burning with prayer and constant attention to the Holy Spirit in
Mary's Immaculate Heart. The wedding feast at Cana is a witness to this
singular harmony between Mother and Son in seeking God's will. In a situation
like the wedding feast, charged with symbols of the covenant, the Virgin Mary
intercedes and, in a certain sense, provokes, a sign of superabundant divine
grace: the "good wine" that points to mystery of the Blood of Christ.
This leads us directly to Calvary, where Mary stands under the cross with the
other women and the Apostle John. Together the Mother and the disciple
spiritually taken in Jesus' testament: his last words and his last breath, in
which he begins to send out the Spirit; and they take in the silent crying out
of his Blood, poured out completely for us (cf. John 19:25-34). Mary knew where
the blood came from: it was formed in her by the work of the Holy Spirit, and
she knew that this same creative "power" would raise Jesus up, as he
In this way Mary's faith sustains the faith of the disciples
until the meeting with the risen Lord, and will continue to accompany them even
after his ascension into heaven, as they await the "baptism of the Holy
Spirit" (cf. Acts 1:5). At Pentecost, the Virgin Mary appears again as
Bride of the Spirit, having a universal maternity with respect to those who are
born from God through faith in Christ. This is why Mary is for all generations
the image and model of the Church, who together with the Holy Spirit journeys
through time invoking Christ's glorious return: "Come, Lord Jesus"
(cf. Revelation 22:17, 20).
Dear friends, in Mary's school we too learn to recognize the Holy Spirit's presence in our life, to listen to his inspirations and to follow them with docility. He makes us grown in the fullness of Christ, in those good fruits that the apostle Paul lists in the Letter to the Galatians: "Love, joy, peace, magnanimity, benevolence, goodness, fidelity, meekness, self-control (5:22). I hope that you will be filled with these gifts and will always walk with Mary according to the Spirit and, as I express my praise for your participation in this evening celebration, I impart my Apostolic Benediction to all of you from my heart.

I just co-wrote a very detailed tutorial about how to use GitHub and the Terminal, which assumes no prior knowledge of either GitHub or the Terminal. (It also includes animated gifs.)
While writing the guide, I realized that really good tutorials should have at least three people working on them:
Person 1 has just learned the task and is writing up how to do the task immediately after learning it. This person knows what s/he didn't know before learning the task, and explicitly writes how to do each of those steps.
Person 2 is skilled or experience in the task, and is able to fill in the holes that Person 1 has. (In my case, Person 2 also taught me these skills. This was an added bonus
The document is initially written by Person 1, with insight and additional information from Person 2.
I'm going to test this theory out again with a future tutorial, but I think it worked out really well for this one. Please let me know how you construct tutorials (written, audio, video) or any thoughts you have with the hashtag #sandboxtutorial on Twitter. (Or email me.)
Have a great day! Mel
Update Jesse writes "Might I also suggest "person tester" someone who would benefit from the tutorial and with fresh eyes tries to follow the steps to complete the tutorial. Observe them using it and make revisions as necessary."
Ivan writes, "A ("A" as in "my") way of doing tutorials (for lack of better resources, namely people) is to do one draft public and basically seek input, along the lines of "this is what I did to make this work, but if you have a better way, share, pretty please. I like the idea having others look at things but in tutorial-land sometimes you're it, especially if you're trying a hack (for a small pub, to boot), even though it always helps to google things. Love the gifs."
I should have pointed out that we did both of these things. You can see how the post was revised (with lots of input) here

DNA Controversy – Swedish Researcher Edits Live Human Embryos
A Swedish developmental biologist and researcher, Fredrik Lanner, has been reported to join the ranks of researchers worldwide who experiment on human embryos in an attempt to genetically modify them. Lanner, who works at the Karolinska lnstitutet, a medical institution in Stockholm, Sweden, says that his research is an attempt at discovering the different genes that are responsible for certain birth defects, like blindness and infertility, and to also attempt eradicating those defects or diseases by knocking the particular genes out. His mission definitely sounds noble but, as experts from around the world warn, the implications of genetic editing can be dire. It is a noble quest with very dangerous possibilities.
"Having children is among the major drives in most human beings," explains Lanner, "and for those people who struggle with it, fertility can tend to become a very important part of their lives."
For these and other reasons, Lanner is attempting to manipulate human genes by selectively knocking off certain genes, and then studying the effects. He hopes to find new methods of treating infertility and preventing miscarriages by studying how the genes relate to the early stages of embryonic development. Lanner also hopes that he can help other scientists to understand more about embryonic stem cells, thereby making it possible to treat a wider variety of diseases.
The gene editing controversy
Although the Fredrik Lanner's method does not allow the embryos to develop beyond 14 days, the experiments are still very controversial. This international controversy came to life last year, when Chinese scientists released a report of their DNA experiments, although they reportedly used only defective embryos that had no chances of survival. Critics assert that DNA editing will open the door to making designer babies.
Another major concern of experts around the world is the possibility of the researchers making a mistake, or mistakes, because of the method being new. Such mistakes could then create diseases in the designer baby that could be passed down for many generations.
The ethical controversy of designer babies
While gene editing can prove beneficial to the human race for curing diseases and increasing life expectancy, the ethical controversy it brings to light is the possible societal ills that could befall mankind if gene editing is used to make designer babies. Parents who can afford it could choose whatever traits they wanted for their child, and thereby spark-off new social crises of genetic-haves and genetic-have-nots. More scary though, is the possibility of creating an entirely new sub-species, who would be considered biologically superior to standard homo-sapiens.
We can only speculate what tomorrow may bring. The Chinese scientists and the Swedish researcher decided to publish their results, but what about those researchers who work in secret?

Bialy's Bagels continues its steadfast traditional ways
When twin sisters Rachel and Sarah Gross were toddlers living on Bushnell Road in University Heights, their mother would stroll them to Bialy's Bagels, located just a few blocks away. "We used to go up there all the time and nosh on bagels," Rachel recalls.
The shop, opened in 1966 by Terry Skolnick, was a popular destination in the heavily Jewish neighborhood. Eventually it was taken over by Skolnick's daughter, Ellen Osolin, and her husband, Mark. Now, 30 circuitous years later, it belongs to the twins.
While they weren't planning careers in the food business— Rachel studied at Ohio University to be a Spanish teacher, and Sarah attended Cleveland State for human resources—they weren't novices either. They'd worked in restaurants since they were in high school, holding down jobs with places like Dink's in Chagrin Falls, the Cheesecake Factory, and the Zack Bruell organization.
When the idea of opening a bagel shop first occurred to them about eight years ago, they spent six weeks working at their uncle's bagel shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, learning dough making, baking, and production management. However, when they came back to Cleveland to look for a suitable location, they couldn't find one. Instead, they launched a cream cheese business, Clover Road Cream Cheese, selling it at local farmers markets.
"It was a beautiful product," Rachel says wistfully. "But we decided we didn't want to pursue it unless we had bagels to put it on."
They once again searched for locations. This time they heard the Osolins were looking to sell and retire. After months of negotiation, they signed the deal. "They stayed for about three months to teach us the ins and outs," says Rachel. "Our experience at our uncle's shop could never have prepared us for it. The volume is far greater."
A year later, the sisters haven't made any significant changes to the beloved institution, beyond adding some cold beverages and coffee. (They named the coffee Buster's Brew after their brother, who died in a canoeing accident in 2003.)
"All of our recipes are the same," says Rachel. "We added one new bagel dough flavor. We have an egg and cheese bagel we still make, and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we turn it into a jalapeno cheddar bagel. And we take the plain bagel, dip it in butter, and coat it in cinnamon and sugar. We call it the cinnamon crunch bagel."
The sisters have some long-range plans, as they slowly start to make the necessary structural upgrades. They'd like to offer bagel sandwiches—and maybe even eventually bring back that beautiful cream cheese.
Currently, they are kept busy making thousands of bagels a day, not only for walk-in customers, but also for about 40–50 wholesale accounts, including restaurants, schools, colleges, law offices, churches, and synagogues. They make dough seven days a week with a wholesale team that works overnight. (Rachel and Sarah don't arrive until 5am).
What's special about Bialys, other than it being a beloved tradition, is "that we have the best bagels in Cleveland," Rachel says proudly. "They're made fresh daily. The big chains, their bagels are not made in house. Only one or two other bagel shops in Cleveland do that."
Bialy's Bagels is located at 2267 Warrensville Center Road in University Heights and is open from 5:30am–3pm seven days a week. For more information, visit BialysBagels.com or call 216.371.1088.

Hi, my name is Taj and I'm a green sea turtle who lives in the tropics of Australia. My friends and I travel very long distances to find food and breed. You may have seen me popping my head up out of the water while you've been on holiday on the Great Barrier Reef.
Because I spend my life travelling I see lots of plastic from different countries around the world. Once plastic is in the big blu ocean, wind, weather and currents push it around all over the world!
The biggest issue I have with plastic is that it looks like the food I like to eat! My diet is made up of seaweed, sea grass and jellyfish. When a white plastic bag is under water it looks like a jellyfish and when a green plastic bag is under water it looks like a piece of seaweed.
When I eat this plastic it can make me a little sick but because I need the energy to travel I need to eat more and more and sometimes my friends have eaten so much plastic they didn't survive which is very sad.
Eating plastic is one problem but beacuse we have to come to the surface to breathe there's a chance that I could get tangled in discarded fishing nets and fishing lines. Because I'm not the strongest swimmer It's very hard for me to break-away from it.
My friends and I have been on the planet for millions of years and my cousins were around when dinosaurs were walking the earth and we've never encountered anything as dangerous as plastic.

Sydney - Wallabies scrumhalf Will Genia believes his stint in European rugby has rejuvenated him and prolonged his career.
Genia has just returned from two years with Stade Français in the Top 14. In his first season in France, he was sidelined for seven months as he underwent intensive rehabilitation on a problematic knee injury.
And the 29-year-old believes the lengthy lay-off allowed him to fully overcome the injury and has subsequently added a few years on to his career while making him hungrier to contribute to Australian rugby.
"I didn't go there and learn anything new, so much. I just come back and feel rejuvenated and feel a bit more buy-in to wanting to make an impact here. So in that sense, I've come back in a better frame of mind," Genia told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"I can say it has extended my career because I was having such problems with my knee. It was only three months I was supposed to miss, but it ended up being seven months, so to rehab it for that extended period just made sure it was good to go."
Meanwhile, Genia has expressed his desire to return to the Reds in Super Rugby where he played before leaving for France.
"I've signed my release from Stade Francais. I've got something in place with the ARU. I just have to have a club to go to," Genia said.
"Of course [I want to play for the Reds]. I've said that right from the start. That's the plan. I'm just hoping it works out that way, because I don't particularly want to play for anyone else."
The Papua New Guinean-born number nine, previously hailed as the 'best in the world for his position' by All Blacks great Justin Marshall, is busy preparing for the Wallabies' clash with Italy on Saturday.
And following the shock 24-19 defeat to Scotland last weekend, Genia admits the criticism from the Australian fans and media is warranted. This, after an angry Facebook post from a Wallabies fan named Jack Quigley went viral.
"As a group at the Wallabies, we can have an impact on people's lives both bad and good. We can change that perception. We take that responsibility with us every time we perform," Genia added.
"To Jack and everyone else, we feel the same way you
do, we're disappointed with the result. We don't go out there to not play

Lebron James Flop Immortalized by the NBA Impersonator
In case you missed it, during game three of the eastern conference finals, LeBron James got elbowed in the face, by his own teammate.
LeBron's shock at the elbow led to him staggering and falling over with technical fouls going both ways, despite no Toronto player touching James.
Never mind if you think he sold it or not (LeBron claims he didn't), it led to a fantastic tribute by the "NBA Impersonator" Brandon Armstrong.
Why he was in East Lansing, we're not sure, but it is a spot on impression of that ridiculous sequence of events from Toronto.
Toronto would take that game and the next one at home and tie the series up with Cleveland 2-2.

These screw in heads are reliable and discrete leaving your lure to move more freely. Hooks on classic jig heads tend to rigidify soft baits but a G FISH SCREW gives you a short fixing point closer to the head which amplifies the movement and vibration from your lure.
This rig also makes it far easier to change weights and lure size and the different arming points leave you freer to set up the lure how you want it in any given conditions, changing the length and size of hook, hooking through the stomach or the back… Personalising and experimenting with rigs becomes so much easier when you only have to screw on or off the jighead!

Identifies place names using alphabetical and reverse alphabetical indexes in the Province of Saxony. For the first time, a reverse alphabetical index is available to the public. Such indexes have been known and valued among researchers in the Family History Library for some time, but none have been available in print or microform. The Reverse Alphabetical Index allows the researcher to determine the name of a town when the first part of the name (whether one or more letters) is missing. This is a common problem caused by torn or moldy pages, ink blots, tight bindings, poor microfilm quality, etc. By using this index, the researcher can also determine the official spelling for towns when variant spellings occur in old records. The book includes a regular alphabetical index of all the towns in the province as well as regular and reverse alphabetical listings of over 4,950 names of German kingdoms, duchies, principalities, counties, rivers, mountain ranges, and other geopolitical and topographical entities. Experts in the field have this to say about the Place Name Indexes series: "The Reverse Alphabetical Index is indispensable. We need one for every German Province." (Larry Jensen); "A remarkable tool . . . a real time-saver. How did we ever do research without it?" (Daniel Schlyter); "The Reverse Alphabetical Index is the only new technology in the deciphering of names!" (Shirley J. Riemer)

The appointment of Allister Coetzee as head coach of the men's Springbok team and assistant coach Mzwandile Stick represents a significant anti-white privilege turning point for South African Rugby. The mindset of believing in the coaching potential and prowess only of white coaches, has now hopefully been eliminated. It has taken some tumultous moments to prove that only white coaches are not the best rugby coaches, in South Africa. SA Rugby officialdom, no doubt pushed by black voices calling for white privilege to be removed from rugby, has been forced to recognise the coaching prowess of coaches such as Allister Coetzee and Mzwandile Stick.
Springbok coach, Allister Coetzee represents the dignity of generations of oppressed sportspeople and oppressed sports fans who played sport for freedom. Coetzee holds high the oppressed sports people who sacrificed playing international sport, so apartheid could be destroyed and freedom could arrive.
Allister Coetzee was an exceptional rugby talent. He would have been a Springbok player had he had the opportunity to play for and represent his country. Being an oppressed South African, he chose to play anti-apartheid, non-racial rugby. Through coach Allister Coetzee, we are reminded of the phenomenal black rugby talent who played sport for freedom, during the horrendous apartheid era, from oppression and from apartheid.
Whiteness and white privilege have been dominating rugby in South Africa with white players and coaches given unfair starts ahead of talented black rugby players and coaches. This focus on and belief in white rugby players and coaches, has seen young black rugby players finding it difficult to break through the rugby pyramid. There were always arguments about how small black rugby players were; how they wouldn't make it at international level. But then some black players forced their way through, with ball in hand they broke barriers to ensure they couldn't be not recognised.
Rugby unification of two disparate and opposing rugby structures was supposed to have ushered in a brave and bold new era for rugby in South Africa. However, it was a new journey, not for both rugby bodies, but primarily for the white dominated South African rugby Board (SARB), which was led by Danie Craven.
In the post-unity phase, the talent and potential of black rugby players was easily discarded; in fact, it wasn't even considered. Fierce and heated debates of opinion dominated selection members as the lone black selectors, often out-voiced and and left on their own to fight for black players, had to battle white privilege and white racist mindsets and opinions.
This battle to have black players noticed and selected is evident from selection of SA's 1995 world cup rugby squad. Anti-apartheid activist and freedom fighter, Bill Jardine took on the might of apartheid's support and beneficiaries when he fought and challenged white domination of SA's 1995 world cup rugby team. Jardine mounted a strong attack to argue for the inclusion of Chester Williams in the Springbok team, and after threats to not support a white Springbok world cup team, a black player in Chester Williams got selected.
In subsequent years, particularly the first decade of rugby unity in SA, black players were given a bad deal. White selectors and coaches didn't believe in black talent and easily selected mediocre white players ahead of a black player with potential. When a black player got selected at elite provincial level, he wouldn't start the match but would, if lucky enough get a few minutes game times and in those few minutes he had to prove himself and score tries.
I refer to this period in SA Rugby's existence as black rugby genocide. Yes, it was genocide! How else do you explain the non-selection of black players? The anti-apartheid, non-racial South African Rugby Union came to rugby unity with thousands of rugby players, who played in competitive junior and senior competitions. The elite players were highly skilled; they just needed opportunities to perform and prove their abilities at international level.
Why were these players not selected for rugby's Currie Cup provincial teams and for the Springbok team, in the years leading up to 2005? Black public pressure was mounted on SA Rugby's leaders and officials, white selectors and coaches were called out. Black voices demanded change, for black rugby players to be part of SA Rugby and not left outside of the selection and player realm.
Then, at school boy and youth level, teenage boys started getting noticed. One such talent was Gcobani Bobo who not only got selected for the SA u19 world cup team, but also got to captain the team. But black players were still being kept out of provincial Currie Cup teams and the Springbok squad with the ocassional 'Coloured' player chosen to represent Western Province rugby.
South Africans with a critical and social justice consciousness, especially those who supported anti-apartheid rugby called for black player talent to be identified and selected. But black rugby players still remained left out. As SA Rugby was forced to implement a quota of black rugby players at youth level, black rugby talent couldn't anymore go unrecognised or unnoticed, as the players were performing. These young black players got selected into academy teams, the objective being to groom and harness their development so they develop into provincial playing senior players.
Through the years we called out the dismissal of black rugby players, the white privilege selection of white players and the apartheid mindset of selectors and coaches.
There's much black rugby talent in South Africa. Springbok coaches Coetzee and Stick must utilise their black gaze in selecting player potential and talent. Most importantly, they must be brave and bold to select a black-dominated Springbok squad and team. The talent amongst black rugby players exists.

If your community is looking at "crowdfunding" as an option for raising money for a local project, it pays to do some advance research and learn from those who have gone before you.
But, sometimes searching for advice online can be a bit like going down the rabbit hole – the more you look the more confusing it gets.
So I thought I'd go ahead and do some searching for you, and help sift the true gems of information from the detritus of internet wisdom!
Over the next few weeks I'll be passing along helpful insights from crowdfunding experts and people who have had success using crowdfunding to raise money for projects in their community.
"Crowdfunding is not about money – it's about community."
Here's a good piece of advice I picked up from this website about crowdfunding: Kickstarter and Indiegogo are not about money. They are about community.
What does this mean? It means that good crowdfunding campaigns put an emphasis on communicating with their supporters, and building a "tribe" of people with a shared interest. If you can do that, the money part will often take care of itself.
Be good about keeping supporters updated on the status of your project, invite them to offer suggestions and get involved, and encourage them to share your campaign with their friends.
An important point to note is that most successful projects receive about between a third and a half of their contributions from their first, second and third degree of connections – that is, people you already know, the friends of these people, and the friends of these friends.
There's your "tribe" right there. Treat them well, make them feel involved, and you have the cornerstone of a successful fundraising campaign. Read more.
Here's another piece of advice: Share this post with your tribe, and stay tuned for more updates and info from the Hub…

A repeatable model allows managers to refine skills and systematize processes. Their clearly defined audience target –athletes, sports enthusiasts, well off and brand conscious customers –makes it easy for them to make target-centric ad campaigns. It represents emotions and promotes its brand as a brand of allegiance and loyalty. It uses geographic segmentation to promote its products and brand.
•However Nike has, always, only been about 1 thing; it only delivers a specific kind of product.

•Cons –
It mainly focuses on producing high-products with cutting edge technology and sells them at competitive prices. It does not communicate to the middle class and lower class society.
•Risks –
Intense competition and the influence of spokespersons poses a risk to their strategies. Also ever changing demands and choices of the consumers along with the international expansion poses a risk to their strategies.

In signing Matt Cain, Brian Wilson and Jeremy Affeldt to contract extensions, Giants general manager Brian Sabean said the Giants have another "window of opportunity," as they had in the Barry Bonds era.
Let's hope he does a better job of filling in around the edges than he did with Bonds.
There was nothing wrong with the strategy of building around Bonds, but Sabean made mistake after mistake in the free agency market, while ignoring the option of developing hitters in the farm system. As a result, pitchers felt confident that they could intentionally walk Bonds because the Giants had nobody else who could cause much damage.
Lately, the strategy has been to build around pitching. The Giants will have four starters for at least three years: Tim Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez and (unfortunately) Barry Zito.
They'll be even stronger if Madison Bumgarner develops enough to push Zito back to No. 5 in the rotation. Bumgarner struggled in the spring and was sent down for further development in the minors. His fastball velocity, once in the low 90s, has declined to 88-89 mph.
Left-handers throwing no faster than that have been effective — Zito has never thrown higher, and he won an AL Cy Young early in his career — but Bumgarner's reputation was as more of a power pitcher. So, we'll have to wait and see.
It was especially important to lock up Cain, because he and Lincecum are a powerful 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation. I believe Cain has a good chance to have a better career, despite the consecutive NL Cy Young awards for Lincecum.
Cain is a powerfully built power pitcher who throws with a seemingly effortless motion. Lincecum is more in the mold of Tim Hudson and Pedro Martinez, slighter built pitchers who put a lot of strain on their bodies. Both Hudson and Martinez have had excellent careers, but both have also had significant health issues.
Pitching by itself is only part of the battle. Good pitchers require good defensive support behind them, and the Giants do not shape up as a good defensive team. There are two trouble spots in the infield, at shortstop with Edgar Renteria and first base with the newly acquired Aubrey Huff.
Though Renteria claims to be better because he's healthier, his lack of range showed early last year before he was injured, and it's hard to see how another year of age will help. Huff claims he's a decent defensive first baseman, but his reputation in baseball is as a butcher defensively. Is everybody else wrong?
The outfield is also a question mark. Nate Schierholtz is an excellent defensive right fielder with a strong arm, but he's struggled this spring. John Bowker has had a good spring, but it's questionable whether he could play the difficult right field at AT&T Park. Aaron Rowand is on the decline in center. Mark DeRosa is an infielder trying to play left field.
And we haven't even talked about the Giants' hitting, which seems only marginally improved from last year.
The Giants are in a weak division, so perhaps pitching alone will be enough. It had better be. Don't expect any miracles from Sabean.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
According to TMZ, iconic R&B and pop music vocalist Mariah Carey is on the receiving end of a lawsuit from her former manager Stella Stolper and for a number of reasons including civil rights violations, and now, a sexual violation as well.
Stolper reportedly notified Mariah's team that she was filing legal documents against the songstress for breach of contract and unpaid money for her services. In the latest development, she now claims sexual harassment, TMZ states, after alleging the countless times Mariah was in the nude in front of her.
The site adds that Mariah has deemed the claim "baseless," but Stolper also plans to allege substance abuse and refusal to take medicine for her recently-announced bipolar disorder in her legal argument.
"If this frivolous and baseless claim is filed, we will defend against it vigorously and successfully," a source from Mariah's team allegedly stated.
MiMi gave Stopler a pink slip in the middle of her three-year-contract, TMZ mentions, but the ex-manager is reportedly sharing her claims in one final attempt to reconcile before they take things to the courthouse.
Mariah nor her team have not yet release a public statement on the allegations.

Indonesia Offers To Assist With Fiji's Constitutional Consultations
Fiji advised to learn from other nations' reform experiences
By Ropate Valemei
SUVA, Fiji (Fijilive, May 31, 2012) – The Government of Indonesia is ready to assist Fiji in the constitution process says Aidil Chandra Salim, Indonesian Ambassador to Fiji.
In a statement, Salim affirmed this at the public lecture looking at the constitutional reform process of Indonesia which was held at the University of the South Pacific (USP) this week.
"Indonesia would like to walk along with Fiji in her reform process and consultation period by sharing Indonesia's experience of the constitutional evolution," he said.
Director of the Institute of Peace and Democracy in Bali, Indonesia, Dr. Ketut Putra Erawan said everyone must come together and be part of the constitution-making process because it is sacred.
Dr. Erawan spoke on the challenges, choices and lessons of constitutional reform and how Fiji can learn and model the Indonesian experience as both are archipelagic states.
Head of USP School of Government, Development and International Affairs, Professor Vijay Naidu said it is an opportune time for people in Fiji to learn from the experience of other countries including Indonesia on matters of constitutional reform.
He said that amongst others, the constitutional reforms in Indonesia sought to make the military more professional.
He urged youths and women to make submissions to the Constitutional Commission.
Fiji's Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, who was also present at the public lecture, said that values and principles are the most defining and vital features of a constitution.
"The constitution consultation process outlines some non-negotiable measures which include equal and common citizenry, one person, one vote, one value, elimination of ethnic voting and socio-economic rights for all citizens," he said.
Meanwhile, Professor Naidu said Fiji was a confused republic over the last 25 years with the Union Jack in its flag, the Queen's effigy still displayed on Fiji's currency, and a public holiday on her birthday.

Nockamixon Township
Nockamixon Township
A Short History of Nockamixon Township
Nockamixon became a township in 1742 and remained intact for many years. However, it lost one third of its area when Bridgeton formed a separate township.
The Natural Beauty of Nockamixon Township
Nockamixon touches the Delaware River at a place called "the Narrows." Here red shale cliffs tower above the Delaware River. These cliffs slowed down early transportation along the banks of the Delaware River.
The meaning of the native-inspired name, "Nockamixon" is unknown.
Sections of Nockamixon township have a long history of Native American occupation.
In 1698, the Lenape Tribe settled at the mouth of Gallows Run. In 1730, the Lenape Tribe left Gallows Run and migrated to the Susquehanna River. The influx of white settlers continued.
As the number of white settlements grew, the Lenape were driven further and further from their lands.
By 1867, the Lenape Tribe faced a forced relocation to Oklahoma along with the Cherokee Tribe. After a legal fight, the Lenape Tribe regained their separate identity from the Cherokee Tribe in 1999.
The names of the early German settlers of Nockamixon Township include Stover, Gintner-Kintner, Traugher, Oberbeck, Deemer, Buck, and Frankenfield.
Early township residents excelled in the production of red tulip ware and in the manufacture of charcoal.
Bridgeton Township
Exploring Bridgeton Township
This township was named for a bridge that crosses the Delaware River between Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania and Milford, New Jersey. As to its size, Bridgeton Township is 6.7 square miles in size and is one of the smaller townships in Bucks County.
"Small But Beautiful" Bridgeton encompasses scenic and beautiful views both from Bridgeton Hill Road and from the banks of the Delaware River.
Perhaps, one of the most noted locations in the township includes a rock formation known as "Ringing Rocks."
Recognized by Bucks County for their distinctive sound, the Bucks County Park System maintains "Ringing Rocks Park."
Springfield Township
Springfield Township History
Finding Bucks County's Springfield Township may prove difficult to one unfamiliar with Southeastern Pennsylvania. You see, similarly named townships exist in Montgomery and Delaware Counties, too.
This township is at the border with Northampton and Lehigh Counties and may be located on this map.
The Lenni Lenape tribe lived in this area generations before the white man arrived from Europe. And while William Penn, the proprietor of Pennsylvania, treated the native populations with respect, his sons did not. The Infamous Walking Purchase of 1737, swindled 1,200 square miles from the Delaware tribes. Afterwards, some of this land became Springfield Township.
Bridge Street Farm is located in this area of Upper Bucks County..

The Congress, which won 28 seats in the Assembly polls, is left with the support of 27 MLAs.
Guwahati: Nongthombam Biren Singh on Monday won the floor test in the 60-member Manipur Assembly with a voice vote, four days after he was sworn in as the state's first BJP chief minister.
Earlier in the day, Yumnam Khemchand Singh of the BJP was elected as the new Speaker of the House. He was also elected with a voice vote against Congress candidate Govindas Khonthoujam.
After this, the CM moved a confidence motion, which saw no division of votes.
A Congress MLA's demand for a secret ballot was rejected by the Speaker.
After winning the confidence vote, Mr Singh said, "The Opposition and the ruling combination should work together in the interest of the people of Manipur."
The BJP, which has 21 members, also has the support of four MLAs each from the NPF and the NPP. One Congress MLA, Thounaojam Shyamkumar Singh, along with TMC's T. Robindro Singh and LJP's Shyam Karan have also extended support to the BJP-led combination.
The Congress, which won 28 seats in the Assembly polls, is left with the support of 27 MLAs.
The TMC MLA said that he was extending support to the BJP after consulting the party's central leadership. "I have not violated the party's order, nor have I done anything against the interest of the party," he told reporters after the confidence vote.

Covert CCTV in the workplace
In the case of Lopez Ribalda & Others v Spain, the European Court of Human Rights have recently held that hidden CCTV cameras in the workplace are a breach of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a private life.
A Spanish supermarket installed a number of covert surveillance cameras to address suspected thefts from the till. The supermarket employees were informed that they were being monitored by visible cameras but not others which had been placed covertly covering the till.
As a result of the footage obtained from the hidden cameras, a number of the employees were dismissed based upon thefts recoded by the footage. The employees brought a claim alleging a breach of Article 8. The Spanish national court ruled that the use of the hidden cameras were justified, appropriate, necessary and proportionate in the interests of security. However, the ECHR held that the employee's right to a private life had been violated. This judgement will have serious repercussions for employers wanting to rely upon evidence obtained by hidden CCTV cameras.
An employer may still be able to undertake covert recordings but only if such surveillance is targeted and an individual(s) and such surveillance measures are limited in time. For all other recordings, employers must ensure that their employees are made aware of any surveillance measures in place and are aware of the manner in which the data obtained by the surveillance shall be used.
Should you be concerned the way your company uses surveillance in the workplace or should you wish to ensure that your CCTV usage is compliant with the law, then contact Greystone Legal.
