Impossible to accommodate an employee who denies his alcoholism
Release date: December 5, 2017
A seaman challenged the dismissal handed down to him for failing to comply with a policy forbidding any employee in an operations-related position to be under the influence of alcohol or its residual effects. The union argued that the employer should have accommodated the employee instead of punishing him, as the latter suffered from alcoholism and the employer was aware of this situation: the employee had already attended three rehabilitation sessions, and the employer had implemented measures to help him. In the case at hand, the union demanded an accommodation, while the employee denied being an alcoholic and insisted that his consumption was strictly social: he did not want to be helped and offered no cooperation. In fact, there was no evidence to the effect that the employee actually was experiencing a relapse. Neither was it proven that his attitude of denial was an outcome of his alcoholism. That might have been the case, but this remained to be proven, as illness is not something to be merely presumed. According to the arbitrator, forcing the employer to accommodate the employee when the latter refuses to participate in such accommodation would amount to subjecting him to undue hardship. The grievance was rejected.

The parents of slain teen Michael Brown have been awarded a secret settlement as a result of a wrongful death civil suit against the city of Ferguson, MO. The settlement amount will remain confidential, stating that by doing so "the terms of the settlement agreement could jeopardize the safety of individuals involved in this matter, whether as witnesses, parties, or investigators."
The St.Louis Post Dispatch reported that the settlement did not exceed $3M and the judge felt the amount to be split "fair and reasonable" between the two parents Michael Brown Sr. and Lezley McSpadden.
The suit claims that Wilson used excessive and unreasonable force promoted by the hostile attitudes towards black citizens shows by the Missouri police department.

Well, it happened today between the hours of 2 PM and 5 PM. Broad daylight. The brazen opponents of Prop 8 strolled onto our front lawn and stole our "Yes on Prop 8" sign.
Hold on while I vomit from the sickness of violation. Okay, much better.
I continue to think of one of my favorite movie line quotes. It is from "The American President"
"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land of the free". "
I am all for freedom of speech. Because I cannot have it if I refuse to provide it to others.
It is just odd that the very group clamoring for equality and protesting exclusivity of rights is the very group refusing to allow that same right to me.
And thus the paradox of "you cannot eliminate the right of a same sex couple to marry, but I can eliminate your right to oppose it." Satan is good...or is it bad. Let's just say very effective at leading people astray by the subtle craftiness of men.

It makes me think of the PETA people who fight so hard for animal rights, but often times harm humans that wear fur or things. Let's protect animals, but who cares about people. Also the ELF people who are extreme environmentalists...they burned a house down here that was a new construction because it wasn't made of earth friendly products, and had cut down trees for materials. So, they are FOR the environment, yet they burned a house down to fight for that. Aren't the carcinogens from a fire harmful to the environment? We need to learn to stand up for what we believe in, WHILE respecting other people's right to do so as well, even if it is the exact opposite thing we believe in...like you said.

oh - i need to tell you about the teenagers that stole our yes on 8 sign a couple of days ago. the liberal bay area teachers around here are brainwashing these kids. we actually saw them stealing our sign -- caught them red handed, ran them down and called the police. the police came and gave them a good 'talkin to' but we were nice and didn't press charges.

Oh my!!!! I am so sick of all of this prop 8 stuff. I am looking forward to when this all calms down and I can go about my day without thinking about it every second. What little free time I get to take a brake is filled with thoughts that are not relaxing at all. I am sad about the attacks on the church from the NO on prop 8 side. People picketing out in front of the temples is just not cool. I have seen an add that shows our prophets Hinkle and Monson talking about equality and being none judgmental. They say that they are hypocrites. I hate to see our prophets talked about badly. There is also one about the LDS missionaries. They go into a same sax couples home and find there marriage licence and rip it up. Talking about how Mormons are trying to take over others rights. It makes me sick and so sad to have the church mentioned in a hateful way. Politics is so shady at times. Hope it all calms down soon. Remember to VOTE today :)

The Grapes of Wrath
What is the significance of the turtle? Who does the turtle represent?
Chapter 1-7
Chapter 1-7
The world seems to be passing families like the Joads by. The advent of agribusiness and mechanization are literally leaving sharecroppers in the dust. The turtle is a metaphor for these families. He is trying to make his way crawling across a fast paced highway. Motorists simply don't see the turtle anymore, more do they really care if the turtle makes it or gets squished. The Joads too feel like this turtle. The turtle is heading tin the same directions as the Joads just as slow and irrelevant, to the modern world, as the Joads are.

I think it's because you see your dick everyday. Like when people go to the gym and think i'm not big enough yet but are massive. It's like an anorexia. I had this and my FL is 4 and FG 4 last i measured before p.e but now i am doing p.e it has made me think more positively and now when in changing rooms i see mine is average!

In high school, I guess I was really insecure even though I didn't see anyone's dick when we changed after practice.. but being the only Asian and young, with that stereotype floating around. I just shy away. Now, I am pretty sure I am average or above average (for an Asian).

I look at something that is 4.7 inches and ask myself, "how can this be the average?" but it is. Porn has really done a number on us, as has our very culture, especially in North America. We have a big dick culture, and there is no denying it. People say most guys don't care or have these thoughts, but that's garbage. Studies show that 48% of males would choose a bigger penis if they could. This means most guys feel at least partially ill-equipped, even if it is something they don't over-analyze or actually go out of their way to change.
This study was done in the US and probably only holds real significance in North America. I bet in other places in the world, the results would be lower or higher, depending on where the experiment was done.

Always, all the time. I had these feelings at 4.9 girth, and they still kind of linger years later now at 6 girth. There is some good out of this however, in the fact that it keeps me motivated to continue with PE and never give up. I also don't agree with the studies or urologists. I've gained and feel better than I did before and am happy and not as depressed as I was before, guess thats all that matters if your happy about yourself.
The studies and the doctors were no help with this, you've got to help yourself is the only way. Research, try different routines, methods, start gaining, get a bigger penis and you'll go alot further in life trust me. I think if i had started with about 6 girth my whole life would have been different.

If you're feeling like "less than a man than every other man," I'd gamble that it has very little to do with your size. A lot of guys will come to the Gym and say something similar, but I can't help but wonder if they're being honest with themselves. If you had your ideal size, would something else be lacking?
Would you maybe not make enough money, not have the nicest car, or maybe your abs aren't defined enough.
I don't know. I circulate these forums a lot. I donate a portion of almost every day to read people's posts and I can tell you that I have never, not once thought to myself, "hey i'm better than him because my dick is bigger than his."

If anyone out there is interested in using ACT within their practices, or if they fancy running ACT research, then I would encourage them to attend the worldwide and regional conferences that are advertised on the ACBS website (http://contextualscience.org/acbs). I have just returned from the UK and Ireland ACBS conference held in Dublin. At this particular conference, in addition to fostering a wonderful sense of community, I felt inspired to avoid complacency as we try to develop a model that is better equipped to manage human suffering. The message of the conference was that 'we are not there yet'. The Psychological Flexibility model has gathered much evidence but it is not complete. The people I met at the conference were fully aware of its potential but they were fully aware that much work needs to be done. They were also willing to dedicate their lives to figuring it all out knowing that it may come to nothing. Why? Because as the statistics for mental health problems stack up it is becoming truly obvious that we have to try.
Dr. Dennis Tirch gave a wonderful plenary at the conference about the similarities and potential integration of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and ACT. I loved every second of it and at some point I hope to review his recently released book on that very subject (https://www.newharbinger.com/act-practitioners-guide-science-compassion). During the talk Dennis repeated one of Steve Hayes' sayings that I hadn't heard for a long time: 'Kill Your Self Every Day'.
Steve did not mean literally to kill yourself (in fact, if someone were able to kill themselves repeatedly then we all would have heard something about it by now!). He meant that over time we build stories about 'who we are', but that often those stories can hold us back. Therefore, kill your stories about 'who you are' every day so that you can escape their grasp.
Our view of 'who we are' is usually based on our experience. Maybe at some point in the past we have been in a situation where we have felt something, named it and then assumed it is a part of us. An example; I remember being a 15-year-old boy asking a 15-year-old girl out on a date. She said 'No'. Apparently my poems just didn't do it for her. Anyhow, my friends said that I didn't look confident when I approached her and I certainly didn't feel confident. With that story in my mind, every time there was an opportunity to interact with a girl I avoided it, because I'm just not the 'confident' type. Notice what happened there, a story I had built up from one experience had imprisoned me. Kill your stories every day because they are metaphorical shackles, not real ones. Once we let them go, we become liberated.
I hear people say things like: 'there is no point in going for the interview because I'm not a confident person', 'I'm not going on the date because I'm incompetent when I first meet someone', I'm not going to do that follies skit because I'm just not the type of person who can do public speaking', 'there is no point in exercising because I'm just a fat sort of person'. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
If we think that personality traits are fixed then we are stuck. Our lack of confidence, our first date skills, our public speaking abilities and our fat genes are things that can never change. That's unacceptable for me. So from a purely pragmatic point of view, I'm going to believe that our personalities are stories, and that our stories do not have to direct our behaviour.
When you start to think about our personalities in this way, everything becomes possible. If you kill the self-story that you are not clever enough to go for a promotion, you get to try for that promotion. If you kill the self-story that you are not mentally tough enough to lose weight, you get to go to the gym and try. If you kill the self-story that you are not a sociable person, you get to try to connect with people. New learning about your 'self' only happens if you give it a chance. So let's believe that personality is this wonderfully flexible thing and that in fact, you 'are' how you choose to ACT every day.

shakespeare's desert island discs ...
A life-changing painting which began life as long-planned series of paintings about witches, still to be created, only to be viewed in moonlight.
As the first painting progressed William Shakespeare suddenly appeared, fully-formed, sitting on a beach and playing the pipes of Pan. First shown at The Bankside Gallery, it was seen by a Director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and resulted in our exhibition "Shakespeare's Treasure" at The Globe exhibition centre. The show was open for 12 months and visited by over 350,000 people. (See "Shakespeare's Treasure" page).

Instead of arguing with Lil Jon's defiantly bejeweled "Crunk Aint Dead" neckpiece, we might only suggest adding the word "yet" to the end. Certainly the Atlantan aesthetic of slinky synthesizer riffs and twittering drum loops no longer has a reputation as preeminent national fad; the parade of saccharine nonsense passing in and out of teenagerdom's port of fascination continues unabated. But the question remains as to whether crunk will be something people choose to forget or whether it can evolve to stay relevant, and Lil Jon could do worse for his career and legacy than to hang around Pitbull.
The Boatlift is Pitbull's third studio album and proves once again that the Cuban-American rapper is a savvy curator of Latin-inflected rhythms, classic crunk, and dance-floor R&B. On last year's underappreciated El Mariel, he extended himself as an MC, showing a deft lyrical touch and a talented flow that could both reach Twista-worthy speeds and match Bun B's slow-reeling snarl. Here Pitbull seems less willing to rap at length, a decision that is a disappointment if not necessarily a misstep. The beats supplied by Lil Jon, Mr. Collipark (the Southern minimalist behind Ying Yang Twins' "Wait" and David Banner's "Play"), and a handful of less-notable producers are a diverse lot, as if to show that Pitbull is intent on compiling the perfect party mix.
Although Pitbull has released a number of Spanish-only tracks, and an all-Spanish version of El Mariel was planned but never realized, the songs on his albums lack an air of exclusivity; every song on Boatlift waxes bilingual. Instead, Spanish becomes another slang subset in Pitbull's poetic arsenal, no more off-putting than the tamest Ghostface gibberish. In a move especially ambitious given today's fractured music market, Pitbull has put together an album that could be played in clubs everywhere from South Beach to South Central. "Un Poquito" samples Spanish flamenco guitar and layers it underneath a menacing choral keyboard to dizzying, beautiful effect.
"Ying & the Yang," a squeaking ascension of flute backed by thumping bass, is nothing new from Lil Jon, yet it satisfies instantly and unexpectedly, the way so much of his music can. On the mid-tempo "I Don't See Em" and the reggaeton-tinged "The Anthem," Pitbull successfully merges Southern crunk with Latin dance rhythms. The calculation behind each of these is clear: It's as if you can see Pitbull moving down a list of target demographics. Only rarely does the plotting fail: "Secret Admirer" and "Tell Me" gushingly attempt the rap romance ballad, which by definition is always a terrible idea.
For better or worse, the story of Boatlift concerns more the production and song structures than Pitbull's own rapping. It's clear he'd rather be a chorus-shouter than a verse-spitter, or at least he believes that will help him sell more records. Maybe it depends on whether the listener is lying reclined or standing dance-ready, but I know I would rather hear Pitbull vocalize weird, witty couplets like "I bet they see me/Only little Cuban on TV" and "These are things I have to get off my chest/Sometimes I feel all I can give you is sex—I'm sorry" than the perfunctory "Get nasty, get freaky" or "If you didn't come to dance, then what did you come for?"—all of which are found on Boatlift, though the latter two are more representative. If the immensely talented Pitbull wants to continue to release music as a party-organizer, more power to him. He should know, though, that a pure rap album would find an audience just as easily.

"Greens, of course, are energy nihilists, and there is nary an environmental group somewhere that isn't protesting every type of energy source.
For example, the U.S. is the Saudi Arabia of coal, but Senate greens (led by Nancy Pelosi) have banned consideration of coal-to-oil technology (pushed by Barack Obama) to replace oil imports from the energy bill because they don't like coal's carbon content. Nuclear? Too dangerous, despite the fact that U.S. states with nuke plants have low CO2 emissions. Wind? Shreds migratory bird populations.×

Lindsay Evans blogs about food, entertaining and her favourite recipes for Green Living.
Simon and I are heading up to the cottage this coming weekend with a group of friends. We were actually supposed to head up over New Years for a fun-filled wintery getaway (complete with red wine by the fire, snowshoeing and cross country skiing and lots hearty and warming food). Unfortunately, the windstorm that swept through Southern Ontario, swept out our power (along with thousands of others) with it. This is one of the recipes that I had planned to make then, and as it is pretty special and extremely warming and hearty, I am going to make it this weekend too. By staying informed and making knowledgeable choices about the fish you consume, you can enjoy the numerous health benefits of eating sustainable fish and seafood, while ensuring that marine life will flourish and continue to be around for future generation. To make this recipe more green, try using organic milk and cream, local or organic potatoes and butternut squash, and sustainable seafood choices like farmed bay scallops, pacific / Alaskan, wild caught halibut, pacific cod and Oregon wild caught shrimp.
Scallop and Shrimp Chowder
6 slices pancetta, chopped
3 large shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 8-ounce bottles clam juice
4 cups Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into bite size pieces
4 cups peeled butternut squash, chopped into bite size pieces
2 bay leaves
5 cups milk
1 cup half and half
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 pound firm white fish like halibut or cod, cut into bite size chunks
1 pound 16/20 raw shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined
1 pound sea scallops, beards removed and patted dry
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
1. Cook chopped bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, until crispy. Add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Mix in bottled clam juice, diced potatoes, diced butternut squash and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk, half and half, fresh dill and parsley.
2. Bring chowder to simmer. Add fish, shrimps and scallops and simmer until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
3. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper and serve alongside crusty bread!

I've Set Myself a Challenge
I turned 30 in March. It was a milestone I thought I wouldn't be bothered about. But as it turns out I suddenly felt 'old'.
In order to combat this period of self-pitty, I have decided to set myself a challenge.
I've run plenty of half marathons over the years, but until this year I'd never run further. I have completed the Goathland Hardmoors Trail Half Marathon twice and always fancied competing in in the full marathon event.
However, a couple of other events have also caught my eye which I will complete before running the Goathland Marathon in November. The first is a 24 mile run on Guisborough moor, which will include Roseberry Topping in August. And the other is the Endurancelife North York Moors Coastal Trail Series event in October (another marathon, starting and finishing at Ravenscar).
3 marathons at 30!
As if training and competing in 1 marathon wasn't enough, I've ended up aiming to be competitive in all 3 events. And next year I plan to run my first ultra-marathon - more on that another day!
In order to get myself in shape I have joined my local gym (www.fitnessmachine2.co.uk) who have been more than helpful in providing some excellent advice and a detailed training plan to follow.
I'll expand on that in another post - but suffice to say I've been going to the gym regularly for 5 weeks now and am feeling fitter and stronger than ever. Provided my calves can put up with the abuse (I've had calf issues in the past) I'm feeling confident about completing the marathon distance.
Off to the gym now - have a good weekend whatever you get up to!

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria - Three workers for United Nations agencies were among 11 people killed in an attack by armed Boko Haram militants on a military base in northeastern Nigeria, near the border with Cameroon, U.N. officials said Friday.
The International Organization for Migration said "a large number" of Boko Haram members attacked the base in Rann, in Borno state, a day earlier with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and gun trucks.
At a U.N. briefing in Geneva, IOM spokesman Joel Millman said the two staffers, Ibrahim Lawan and Yawe Emmanuel, were among three humanitarian workers killed along with eight members of police and the military. The U.N.'s humanitarian aid co-ordinating agency, OCHA, says a third aid worker killed was a medical doctor consulting for UNICEF.
IOM Director of Operations and Emergencies Mohammed Abdiker said in a statement that the agency was "outraged and saddened" by the killings. The two IOM staffers were contractors working in a camp for 55,000 internally displaced people who have fled conflict in the region.
U.N. officials say the humanitarian crisis in northeastern Nigeria is one of the worst in the world, with more than 7.5 million people in need of assistance. Some 3,000 aid workers with the world body, its agencies and NGOs are providing aid to some 6.1 million people in the region.
Keaten reported from Geneva.

Given the pace of technological change, tech companies always need to be on their toes. It was only five years ago that BlackBerry was on the top of the world, capturing nearly 20% of the global smartphone market and earning nearly $5 billion in annual operating profits. Today, after missing the shift toward touchscreen devices, the rise of the iPhone and Android has left BlackBerry a shell of its former self. BlackBerry's market capitalization, which peaked at nearly $80 billion in 2009, has declined by 95%.
Even the most successful tech company can be ravaged by unforeseen developments, and that makes investing in tech companies for the long term a difficult task. A lot can happen in ten years, and by 2025, the way in which people interact with technology and computers could be drastically different compared to today. There is one company, however, that appears well positioned to not only survive, but thrive, over the next 10 years: Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).
Oh, how things have changed
A few years ago, it looked like Microsoft was at risk of being left behind. The era of Windows being the only major platform was over, with the shift being driven by the rapid growth of mobile devices. Smartphones were becoming the first, and sometimes only, computing device for a growing number of people, and PC sales entered a prolonged malaise.
With Windows 8, Microsoft attempted to create an operating system that could run on both PCs and tablets. Microsoft succeeded, but Windows 8 was flawed, skewed too heavily toward its new tile-based interface, alienating PC users. The OS never truly took off. This was a problem, because Microsoft's other software products, with Office being the most important, were still mostly exclusive to Windows.
Satya Nadella took over as Microsoft CEO in 2014, and the company's strategy was overhauled. Microsoft recognized that being Windows-centric would no longer work when people were using all manner of devices, not just PCs. The company began releasing its software for all major platforms, putting Office on Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and on the web with Office Online. Microsoft shifted to a software-as-a-service model, selling subscriptions to Office 365 which included cloud storage and the ability to collaborate in real-time. Office went from being the premier Windows productivity suite to being the premier productivity suite, period.
Windows is still important, and with Windows 10, Microsoft has fixed many of the problems with Windows 8, releasing an OS that can run seamlessly on nearly any device, from smartphones to powerful desktop PCs. On the hardware front, Microsoft has produced some truly innovative products, like the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book, both of which fully take advantage of the versatility of Windows 10. Another innovation coming from Microsoft is the HoloLens, an augmented reality headset that has the potential to reinvent how people interact with computers.
This newfound focus on enabling productivity on all devices, not just PCs, puts Microsoft in a position where it will be able to more easily adapt to whatever changes occur over the next decade. Ten years ago, the iPhone hadn't been released yet, and the idea of cloud computing was in its infancy. Ten years from now, new technologies will have almost certainly disrupted some of the most successful tech companies of today. Microsoft, no longer limited to a goal of pushing Windows, has a very good chance of standing the test of time.

Lake Eola Ladle Fest and Eric Montanez's trial were covered by Channels 2, 6, 9 and 13, plus two Spanish-language TV channels, WMFE-FM (90.7, public radio) and the Orlando Sentinel. Check out the Ladle Fest website: http://lake-eolaladlefest.info. On Day 1 of Ladle Fest, Orlando Food Not Bombs shared with an aggregate of least 200 people during its three food sharings. The police presence was minimal. About 20-25 people participated in the post-breakfast march from Lake Eola Park to the Orange County Courthouse to show solidarity with Eric. They chanted and held signs and the OFNB banner. Breakfast consisted of banana pancakes with vegan margarine and maple syrup, sliced oranges and cantalopes, and bagels; lunch included spaghetti with tomato sauce and vegan veggie burritos; and dinner consisted of vegan veggie soup with rice, apple crisp and sliced oranges.
Man Testifies In Own Defense During Homeless Feeding Trial
POSTED: 6:19 pm EDT October 8, 2007
UPDATED: 6:27 pm EDT October 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. -- There was testimony Monday from the first man ever charged for feeding the homeless in Orlando. The city has an ordinance banning the feeding of more than 25 people in one area.
Eric Montanez took the stand in his own defense Monday afternoon. He said he understood what he was being charged with, but when asked why he feeds the homeless he simply said it's because people are hungry.
Monday, before he even went to court, Montanez was doing the very thing he's in trouble for, feeding the homeless at Lake Eola Park. He was the first person arrested for the crime in April and the first to go to trial.
The city banned the feedings because of complaints from people being uncomfortable with the large gatherings of homeless. The city has also called it a public safety issue.
Monday in court, prosecutors told jurors, no matter how anyone feels about the law, it is the law and Montanez broke it. Then they called police officers to the stand to testify they saw Montanez break the law.
The defense argues Montanez was just sharing his food. When he took the stand in his own defense, he explained why he fed the homeless, but also took the opportunity to criticize city leaders for passing the law.
"Well, people are hungry in this city and this city passes countless ordinances and takes measures to demonize homeless people and the poor," he said.
Montanez was the last witness of the day and likely the last witness of the trial. He'll be cross-examined Tuesday, there will be closing arguments and then likely it will go to the jury.
Man's Trial Over Feeding Homeless Begins
City Says Charity Can't Serve More Than 25 People At One Time
POSTED: 1:07 pm EDT October 8, 2007
UPDATED: 3:25 pm EDT October 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A jury was seated and opening statements were set to begin on Monday in the trial of a man who was arrested for feeding homeless people in Orlando.
Eric Montanez was arrested several months ago on suspicion of serving more than 25 homeless people, which Orlando police said violates a city ordinance forbidding large group feedings.
The ordinance states that a charity can feed up to 25 people at a time.
Montanez, the first person to be arrested under the ordinance, said he doesn't regret it.
"This is not about me. This is not about an iconic figure. This is about hunger and the homeless," Montanez said. "The people are hungry. That's the honest-to-God truth."
Several charities joined Montanez on Monday morning to feed a large crowd of homeless people in what they said was the only way to legally continue to feed crowds of hungry people.
"Getting a hot meal is superb. It gives me energy to do what I got to do everyday," Ronald Pratt said.
"I think it's kind of sad for somebody to go to jail for trying to help other people," Rick Gaston said.
"The city, time and time again, is denying people, and they're giving nothing back," Montanez said.
If convicted, Montanez could face a maximum of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Group Protests Member's Arrest
Food Not Bombs Feeds The Homeless Despite Bans
POSTED: 12:43 pm EDT October 8, 2007
UPDATED: 4:32 pm EDT October 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The local chapter of Food Not Bombs protested the arrest of one of its members in Orlando on Monday.
They said Eric Montanez is going on trial for feeding the hungry.
[Orlando] Food Not Bombs protested by doing exactly what an ordinance stated they should not do; they gathered the homeless in a public area and fed them.
The group fed about 100 people breakfast at Lake Eola Monday morning. Some of the homeless recipients said they appreciate the group's gesture and oppose a law that they said makes being nice illegal.
"What harm is it in giving something to somebody because you care?" breakfast attendee Stuart Simpson said. "What is the motive for the arrest? He gave something to somebody that you despise. That's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing a city that despises the fact that they have homeless people living within their area. They look at us as criminals, people that cause mischief. Not saying that there are some that do cause criminal mischief, but not everybody that's homeless is a criminal."
During the lunch break of his trial, Montanez was at Lake Eola feeding the homeless lunch, exactly what got him arrested in the first place.
"Out of the blue, without saying there was any change in interpretation, they arrested me," Montanez said.
Orlando's ordinance does not allow any one group to feed more than 24 people in a public park.
The intent of the ordinance is for the park to be a place where people to come and go, not to become a home where people can eat, sleep and never leave.
Many see it as an attack on homelessness.
Another homeless man, Wayne Robinson, said he believes that groups like Food Not Bombs are helping the homeless get back on their feet.
"I think it's a lesson, and I think more people should be willing to step forward and do these things and try to help get us off these streets and show us a better way of life," Robinson said. "For me, it is showing that if we continuously care about each other and stretch our hand out to each other, and brothers and sisters, especially spiritual beings as we so call ourselves, that the society and the world will be a better place as a whole."
Officers from the Orlando Police Department also attended the protest. Officials said they're aware of the protest and point that Food Not Bombs is trying to make, but they would not say what they intend to do about the protest other than that they would continue with the routine patrol of the area and enforce the law.
No arrests were made during breakfast or lunch on Monday.
Food Not Bombs will continue to serve three meals a day for the next three days to emphasize their point on how unfair they believe the ordinance to be.
Ladle Fest Protests Ban Against Feeding Homeless
Monday, October 08, 2007 1:09:37 PM
Feeding the homeless has been a controversial topic in Orlando for months. On Monday, the group [Orlando] Food Not Bombs is rallying in Lake Eola to show support for one of their own and protest the ordinance that limits where and how often homeless feedings can take place.
"It's anti-homeless, inhumane and unconstitutional in our opinion, and according to our lawyer's opinion," said Ben Markeson, of Food Not Bombs.
Eric Montanez, 22, was the first person to be arrested under the new city rules. His trial is set to begin Monday.
As day broke Monday, people started to gather in the picnic area of Lake Eola for an event called Ladle Fest.
The ordinance against feeding the homeless was passed in summer of 2006. Many people called the ordinance anti-homeless and said the city was trying to get rid of the homeless.
"We're hoping to make a statement about the need in our community for food for homeless and low-income people and are also hoping to tell people that compassion shouldn't be criminalized, concern for the less fortunate shouldn't be criminalized and people who want to help people in the community should be able to do so without hindrance," Markeson said.
Food Not Bombs said it would feed people breakfast, lunch and dinner at Lake Eola through Wednesday. The group said it wanted to make the point that it would not stand by as people are prosecuted for a compassionate act.
Group Intentionally Violating City Ordinance During "Ladle Fest"
POSTED: 7:32 am EDT October 8, 2007
UPDATED: 5:31 pm EDT October 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial city ordinance has led to a number of protests and now a trial. An Orlando man is the first person to face a jury for feeding the homeless.
It's the first trial of its kind. A man is facing a judge and jury for violating Orlando's ban on feeding the homeless. Eric Montanez, 22, was caught feeding a group in Lake Eola Park earlier this year. The prosecution told Eyewitness News their case rests on video taken of Montanez feeding the homeless, breaking Orlando's feeding ban.
"There are a lot better things for law enforcement to be doing in this town, but this was an outrage," said George Crossley of the ACLU.
Montanez and a small group of supporters marched from Lake Eola Park to the Orange County on Monday morning.
"We're ready to take this on," Montanez said.
Montanez and the group he's involved with, Food Not Bombs, returned to Lake Eola just after sunrise to once again violate the ordinance that has him on trial. Food Not Bombs volunteers served breakfast to about 100 Montanez supporters, most of them homeless. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner during what they're calling a three-day "ladle fest," not a protest.
"Me personally, I think that's discriminating for one," said Lamont Robinson, a homeless man.
"We're out here trying to survive from day to day life and this gentleman over here is helping us," said Melvin Moore, a homeless man.
In April, Montanez was arrested for violating the city ordinance that bans mass feeding in one area. His attorney will argue that the law is a violation of civil rights and say Montanez did nothing wrong, because every feeding that he participated in was done at a public park.
"The law itself should be illegal. Feeding people should not be criminalized. Being poor should not be criminalized," Montanez said.
The group is hoping to pressure city leaders into axing the ordinance that they believe is a violation of their civil rights, but the city has made no mention of such consideration being in their plans.

Natural history of malignant bone disease in breast cancer and the use of cumulative mean functions to measure skeletal morbidity

BackgroundBone metastases are a common cause of skeletal morbidity in patients with advanced cancer. The pattern of skeletal morbidity is complex, and the number of skeletal complications is influenced by the duration of survival. Because many patients with cancer die before trial completion, there is a need for survival-adjusted methods to accurately assess the effects of treatment on skeletal morbidity.
MethodsRecently, a survival-adjusted cumulative mean function model has been generated that can provide an intuitive graphic representation of skeletal morbidity throughout a study. This model was applied to the placebo-control arm of a pamidronate study in patients with malignant bone disease from breast cancer.
ResultsAnalysis by bone lesion location showed that spinal metastases were associated with the highest cumulative mean incidence of skeletal-related events SREs, followed by chest and pelvic metastases. Metastases located in the extremities were associated with an intermediate incidence of SREs, and those in the skull were associated with the lowest incidence of SREs.
ConclusionApplication of this model to data from the placebo arm of this trial revealed important insight into the natural history of skeletal morbidity in patients with bone metastases. Based on these observations, treatment for the prevention of SREs is warranted regardless of lesion location except for metastases on the skull.

The next thing you need to do is looking at the portfolios of the potential interior designers. This enables you to find out more about the interior designer. There, you can find information that can prove to be very useful to you.
The other thing that one should do is to set a budget. One should set their budget before even the work starts. There are some interior designers that charge a fixed price for their services. Some use the hourly rate. By choosing one of the payment options, you will be able to get rid of some interior designers. One should also make an effort of meeting the interior designer. Face to face conversation with the designers can also help you learn more things about the interior designers. It is, therefore, necessary to ask these professionals a lot of questions. How the designer respond to some of these questions will help you establish if they are up for the task ahead.
The other thing that one should never forget is to clarify the credentials of the interior designer. Registration is a must for the interior designers in some states. Therefore, it is recommended that you opt for an interior designer who is registered. Through this, you can be sure that the interior designer you have hired know what they are doing. Working with a local interior designer should be a priority.
There are a lot of other things that one should bear in mind. Mentioned above are just a few of them.

Donald Trump's Home Line Dropped From Sears & Kmart For Poor Sales
"As part of the company's initiative to optimize its online product assortment, we constantly refine that assortment to focus on our most profitable items".
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported a 32% sales decline of Ivanka Trump-brand merchandise at Nordstrom (JWN) in the prior fiscal year, citing internal Nordstrom data. President Trump was very vocal about Nordstrom's decision to stop selling Ivanka Trump's fashion brand, even taking to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction by calling it "unfair".
Items from Trump Home, which is part of the Trump Organization, were reportedly not available on both websites and did not appear in a search of either website as of Friday.
Sears and Kmart are the latest retailers who have stopped carrying Ivanka Trump products.
As of this writing, Trump has yet to make his thoughts known about Sears Holdings' move.
In a effort to blunt the impact of the boycott, senior White House advisor Kellyanne Conway last week told viewers on Fox and Friends to "buy Ivanka's stuff".

Perú Judge Orders Arrest of Ex-President Alejandro Toledo for Odebrecht Corruption
But Toledo's lawyer Heriberto Benitez accused the judge of having a "vengeance" and said he would appeal against the ruling. That time spans the presidencies of Mr Toledo and his two successors in office, Alan Garcia and Ollanta Humala.
Business Insider reports that the retailers are dropping the Trump Home products from their stores and replacing them with more "profitable items".
Similarly, Neiman Marcus last week said in a statement that it has "a very small Ivanka Trump precious jewelry business which is comprised 100 percent of consigned merchandise (merchandise owned by the vendor)".
Neither Kmart nor Sears has carried Trump Home in brick-and-mortar stores.
Donald Trump's brand may not be quite the golden goose he claims. Maxx and Marshalls have spent the week distancing themselves from the brand. Spokesman Sean Spicer called the Nordstrom move a "direct attack" on Trump's policies.
Ivanka Trump's clothing and accessories line has taken a hit in recent months.

SIS News Archive
PSA would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to donate to Box of Hope this holiday season. Box of Hope is an annual charity project aimed at providing useful and educational gifts to underprivileged children in Asia. This year, SIS was fortunate to participate in this charity and delivered smiles and hope to children in 3 different orphanages in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Huazhou. Children who received the boxes ranged in age from newborn to 14 years old. This was a wonderful opportunity for our SIS students to help other children who may have never received a gift before.
A lot of work went into the organization of this event to arrive at this wonderful end result. This year, Cortina Shoe Company generously donated 500 new shoe boxes for this cause. PSA volunteers distributed those boxes at Jingshan and Bayside campuses over 2 days in November. Students were able to choose a box for either a boy or girl and the age of the child they wished to support. Students then filled their box with toiletry items, educational items and special toys for their chosen child, wrapped their box and wrote message to their child. Completed boxes were dropped off at our Winter Bazaar on December 3rd or back at school on December 4th and 5th. In all, we received approximately 400 completed boxes back from both Jingshan and Bayside campuses! Once all the boxes were returned, PSA volunteers got to work and spent and additional 2 days organizing all the boxes by age and gender, safety checking the boxes and making sure each box contained the required items for each of the age groups in need. They wrapped unwrapped boxes and divided them between the three orphanages. Volunteers then personally delivered boxes to Shenzhen and Guangzhou orphanages and couriered the rest of the boxes to the orphanage in Huazhou. As you can see in the pictures below, the children were extremely happy and thankful to receive these gifts from you!
We sincerely thank you for helping make the holiday a little brighter for so many children in need.
Your SIS PSA

Some of the manuscripts here are filled with cliches, lines from popular songs, Beatle references, other imagery straight out of pop culture. I took these things and used them in the prose fragments, but not in the journals, which gave a more direct account of the emotional stresses and relationship issues of this period.
I know I am about to lose Amy, as we will be separated much of the summer of 1968. She went to be a camp counselor and
I went to a high school science program at the University of Bridgeport. But I am in a trauma state, in shock at the separation
and what it means ahead. I cannot imagine the world without her. I have no idea what to do except to write to fill the void, write the
accounts of our characters, write the account of those accounts, the hinted at metanarrative of our life together, a life that is closeted
in the deepest sense, and which I feel I cannot speak of to anyone, even to those who know so clearly what is going on between us. The pain
of this existence is almost unbearable. I will lose a lover I cannot acknowledge.

Van der Kruijs now wants to develop this series further and translate it into ceramics, with which she will experiment during her residency in Arita. Van der Kruijs also intends to experiment with the colouring and shaping processes for ceramics, by intervening during the firing process. She will be documenting this research to use it as the starting point for a publication.

Sagittarius 2016 Horoscope
You trust that anything is conceivable. Ruled by the planet Jupiter, Sagittarians are exceptionally idealistic. You have a characteristic abundance, feeling of experience and love of life. Like your mysterious image – the Bowman – Sagittarians point towards whatever it is you find appealing – an adoration accomplice, profession, get-away – and making it your own. In adoration, you need to be autonomous and allowed to do what you need. When you discover an accomplice who comprehends your need to hold your own feeling of self and character, Sagittarians can be the most huge hearted, liberal and carefree partners of all. Sagittarians are happiest when moving – investigating new societies and thoughts. Sagittarians have a tendency to be pulled in to occupations identified with travel, the media, out-entryway work and philosophical interests.

With respect to expert life, 2016 will be a decent year for you: the Jupiter – Saturn – Uranus triangle will make you invulnerable in the clash of accomplishing your effectively set objectives.
The principal piece of the year will particularly support studies, society, journeys and connections at a separation.

In the thirty or so years that PC and console gaming have co-existed, apparently we have not yet reached the only possible solution to the controller vs keyboard conundrum.
The latest salvo was fired by none other than John Carmack himself. Rage, iD's latest venture, is being designed with a controller-first control scheme. Seeing as Rage will be coming out on consoles, I'm not entirely sure why this is a surprise. Games that are released on console and PC tend to have console centric control schemes. It is an old solution to an old problem and certainly qualifies as old news.
But it should not be that way at all.
Take, for instance, Oblivion. Bethesda's role playing master work was huge on both PC and XBox. The control scheme, however, was almost purely a menu-driven affair that was completely designed for the XBox. Playing Oblivion on the PC, while still an enjoyable experience, forced the gamer to spend unnecessary time navigating menus with the mouse and a few keys, while the vast majority of the keyboard went under used. Oblivion (PC) would have been a far better game had Bethesda taken the time to design a PC interface, and not simply assigned keyboard keys to the XBox controller buttons.
Meanwhile, we can also consider Assassin's Creed. This was definitely a console first title, and the control scheme on the PC suffered badly for it. Assassin's Creed also mapped controller buttons to keyboard keys, but while Oblivion actually did so in an intelligent manner, Assassin's Creed apparently pulled random keys out of a hat. The PC setup was painfully awkward, and it hurt the game.
It does not have to be that way. Certain game actions must have a user inputted command; that cannot change from platform to platform. Whether those commands are buried under menus, made available by individual hot keys, or triggered by some key/button combination really does not matter. In every game, the interface and control should be tailored for the best play experience on that particular platform. Sadly, all too often, this does not happen.
In the case of Rage, I'm not worried about this in the slightest. iD is too good of a company to make so basic a mistake as a butchered control scheme for any platform. Too many other developers, however, ignore this aspect the game play to all of our detriment. Neither PCs nor consoles are going away as gaming platforms. Shouldn't developers do all they can to optimize for both?
