Australian employers are increasing using a post-employment restraint of trade clause in their employment agreements to try and protect their business interests (for example, customer relationships). The restraints an employer looks to impose on an employee can vary, but as a general rule they include at least one of the following:
- an employee cannot use their former employer's confidential information and trade secrets,
- an employee cannot work for a competitor for a period after they leave your business, and
- an employee cannot solicit clients, staff and customers from their former employer.
On face value, a restraint of trade clause is void. As an employer, the onus is on you to persuade the court that the clause is reasonable, and therefore valid and enforceable. In NSW, courts also have considerable scope to 'read down' (i.e modify) such clauses under the Restraint of Trade Act 1976.
In this article, we set out some of the core principles an employer seeking a restraint should know of and where you should focus attention when drafting a restraint.
What is a Restraint of Trade?
A restraint clause in an employment agreement typically applies when an employee leaves the business. An employer can enforce a restraint to the extent that it is reasonably necessary to protect their legitimate interests. Whether a provision is reasonably necessary will depend on its wording and the facts of a particular situation.
The two main types of restraint clauses are:
- Non-competition: this clause prevents a former worker from competing against the company that employed him or her.
- Non-solicitation: this clause aims to prevent a worker from actively soliciting former clients to follow them to the new business or role.
Generally, a court views a non-solicitation clause more favourably as it does not seek to limit an individual's right to work. It's also easier to see how this clause reasonably protects a company's legitimate business interests.
An enforceable restraint of trade clause will give the employer no more protection than is reasonable under the circumstances. When determining reasonableness, the parties' intention may be relevant (e.g. any express statements in the agreement). If the court finds that the restraint goes beyond providing adequate protection, it will deem that the clause is unenforceable. However, if the clause affords no more than adequate protection, the court will then go on to consider whether the restraint is harmful to the public interest.
The party seeking to enforce the restraint (usually the employer) must establish that it is reasonable between the parties.
The court will consider the particular facts in each case when determining whether a restraint is reasonable, along with the following factors:
- Negotiation process: In particular, comments made when negotiating the restraint clause.
- Parties' bargaining position: Was there an imbalance in power between the employer and employee at the time the parties agreed to the restraint? Did the employee have the opportunity to obtain legal advice?
- Nature of the employer's business and characteristics of the employee: For example, if the employee is in close contact with the employer's customers, then it is more likely that the restraint will be reasonable.
- Remuneration and Compensation: Did the employee receive any remuneration or compensation for the restraint?
- Duration of the restraint: The longer the time, the less likely it will be to be reasonable.
- Geographical restraint area: If the restraint covers a large geographical area, the court is unlikely to hold it to be reasonable. Quite often employers now try and incorporate a cascading clause in their agreement to avoid duration and geographical issues. A cascading clause provides alternate time periods and geographical areas that allow the court to 'read down' the clause until they consider it is reasonable. For example, the geographical area may start as Australia, then New South Wales, then a particular region of New South Wales.
Does the Restraint Go Further Than is Necessary to Protect the Employer's Interests?
In 2016, the Victorian Supreme Court was asked to consider whether a restraint clause was reasonable. In the matter of Just Group Ltd v Peck [2016] VSC 375, the employer wanted to enforce a restraint clause to prevent the company's Chief Financial Officer from working with their competitor. The clause in the employment contract sought to prevent the employee from commencing work for two years.
The Court decided that the restraints were not reasonable for the following reasons:
- The restraint went further than necessary to protect Just Group Ltd's legitimate business interests.
- The restraint sought to prevent the employee from working at other businesses who were not in competition with Just Group Ltd.
- The duration of the restraint was too long as the clause applied to both Australia and New Zealand for two years after her employment terminated.
Key Takeaways
An employer can only enforce a restraint of trade clause to the extent that it is reasonably necessary to protect their legitimate business interests.

I had an old BB curve 8900, am I had some problems with it and I decided to buy another one. On my old BB 8900I had Enterprise activation account. I received a new password and ALL the things I had on my old phone were synchronized on my new one. And I don't want that. So I've wipe out my phone. But surprise when I entered my Enterprise activation account all the previous things that I wiped out were on my new wiped out BB curve 8900. I don't want that. I want a new fresh BB! How can I wipe out everything, activate this account and have a fresh start. I love this function, I love that all my contacts, mails etc., were there, but I just want to copy a part of them. (I'm doing this because a while ago I've changed the language of the phone and in the upper right corner is a mark with "EN" and I really hate it, and I want it gone, but every time I change the phone, wipe it out, it reappears)...View 1 Replies View Related
Blackberry 8530, email enterprise activation won't work. I've discussed the problem with both Sprint and our IT department at work without resolving the issue. Both say it should be working. Sprint's latest suggestion is to exchange the phone for a new one. (Which would be my third phone in a week since first getting the 8520) It retries, then occasionally the screen pops up to say the enterprise server hasn't responded with the options to continue or cancel. I'll be heading to the Sprint store this afternoon to either exchange the device or get something completely different.View 5 Replies View Related

I use QL and often toggle GPS. In order to toggle GPS you have to set the perimeters which is:
2,7,2 = Options > Advanced Options (2), GPS (7), GPS Services OFF/ON (2)
But heres the problem as you can see. Sometimes Enterprise Activation disappears, which then would make the perimeters 2,6,2. Which obviously won't work b/c its not set up that way.Anyone have any ideas why this happens? Or what I can do to make it completely gone forever so I can change my perimeters 2,6,2?
I updated to 7.1 and everything was working. At some point the sound files and enterprise activation have gone missing. The sound files are complete gone and enterprise activation does not appear under Advanced System Settings.View 1 Replies View Related

I acquired an unlocked T-Mobile blackberry 9700 late last year and had our IT admin guy in NY adding new user license to the blackberry server and then the besadmin had generated activation password for me. I'm using local mobile phone network in Vietnam (Vinaphone) and had installed its service book into my BB. Nevertheless, after having put in my email address and keyed in the activation password, after pressing activate for about 2 minutes of "Acquiring service connection..." my BB keeps on telling me that "Activation request failed. A service connection is unavailable" although the communication receptions signals from my local mobile carrier is strong and I can browse internet and accessing gmail or yahoo mail using my BB (which mean internet connection is available).View 4 Replies View Related

While stuck at home today with a splitting headache, the radar went off with the launch of a new WA government website for the Buy West Eat Best campaign.
The domain selected shows that the state's Website Governance Framework is at best a toothless tiger. The framework specifically mandates when selecting non .wa.gov.au is ok – and this campaign isn't one of them.
Worse still, they have the .wa.gov.au subdomain and redirect it to the .org.au address.
And while on the subject of Government web addresses, why do agencies insist on selecting the longest domain possible which often repeats the geographic elements contained within the gTLD address.
KISS theory applies for address selection, if its too long its too hard to remember thus keeping people from reaching your site.

The Cliff House BlogGifts for Giving
06 Mar, 2015
In the mood to spread a little Manitou magic after your trip? Head on over to the Manitou Outpost, the town's largest gift boutique. Located in a historic building on Manitou Avenue not far from the Cliff House, it was once a livery sable and later the Navajo Geyser Pavilion Cafeteria with, yes, a fully functioning geyser (as well as "superior food, quick service and no tips.") Today, the geyser has been preserved inside the Manitou Outpost, though now it's a well inviting shoppers to pump their own mineral water sample. There's also an amazing selection of Colorado books and souvenirs, Native American and Aspen leaf jewelry, artifacts and artwork by Colorado artists...and some seriously delicious fudge.
Address: 807 Manitou Avenue

So thats it! Easter 2014 over and done with for the year, a bank holiday out of the way, and another one to look forward to in a couple of weeks.
Whilst everyone seems to be happy to send their kids back to school, i am here worrying about the cost of nursery bills and booking after school clubs and breakfast clubs! being a parent is such a juggling act and i am counting down the days untill Tilly is at Big school and i no longer have the £84 a week for nursery fee's.
We have had a very busy weekend, On saturday we had a breakfast date with a friend and then we went to see the new lambs, and some were as young as a day old - it was too cute! Tilly even had chance to cuddle the lambs. We went on a round trip to france on easter sunday, We went with some friends and their dad works on the ferry, so we had an easter egg hunt on there. And it gave me chance to change up some money into Norwegian Krona for my little trip to Norway.
Easter Monday i needed to stay at home and do nothing, afterall the whole idea of a weekend is to sit and relax after working all week - isnt it? So we cooked some meat, Had a few drinkies, and sat playing board games all afternoon - sometimes its so nice to do this and spend time with your family and friends. Phones and gadgets were banned from the table and it was lovely to sit and relax for the afternoon in the sun. Sometimes when your so busy, you forget the simplicities in life.
So here i am this morning having battle trying to get matilda to school! her with her matter of factly voice telling me she is NOT going to school! So we embark on a battle of the wills and i become almost child like when i argue back with her! 'you will be going to school', i can shout louder but i dont have the whole 'throwing yourself on the ground' down to a tee like she does.
This morning we have already had a battle with each other over the roller skates that Tilly got from the car boot sale yesterday! Yes Tills, i know they are new and you want to wear them, but you cant wear them when you have to run to the bus stop because we are late, you cant wear them on the bus and i am not taking you through town, on a busy morning whilst your wearing roller skates. Then after i dressed Tilly ( a battle in itself) she then undressed herself and put on a princess dress - this fight i will let her win! She has eaten her sandwiches made for lunch already! Why does food always taste better for her when its eaten from the lunch box? wierdo!
So now Tilly has left for school and i write this post whilst breathing a sigh of relief, and relaxing a bit before i have to get ready for work ....... now where are those roller skates ;)

Juma Al Majid Group's Al Arabia Elevators and Moving Systems has, for the first time, has won the International Business Excellence (IBX) Awards, which was hosted by Awards International in partnership with the department of economic development in Dubai (DED), Cranfield School of Management and Sharjah Tatweer Forum
The company won in the 'Real Estate and Construction' category.
The winners were announced on 18 May 2016 where there were 26 category award winners. The categories at the two-day event included marketing, financial services, retail, customer experience and sustainability. According to organisers, the awards represent an annual programme aiming to recognise business excellence across the world.
Honoured by HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, chairman of Dubai International Marine Club, Sami Al Qamzi, director general of department of economic development in Dubai, Juma Al Majid Group's Al Arabia Elevators and Moving Systems was one among the first 19 categories.
Saleh Chehade, chief contracting officer, contracting and services sector of Juma Al Majid Group, said, "Excellence is important and considering the stringent competition in the market today, I applaud my team's achievement."
Mark Hamill, managing director of Awards International, said, "There were over 85 finalist presentations in 26 categories, from over 16 different countries, the judges had a fantastic insight into how companies do business across the many different sectors and across the world. Feedback from the judges so far has been very positive with many judges informing us about how much they have learnt in two days.
'Some categories were really competitive and it was a challenge choosing the finalists in categories such as the Customer Experience and Voice of the Customer, while finalists in Technology and Smart Technology categories were competitive. As this was the second year of the IBX Awards, the companies were much better prepared than in year one. The level of competition also saw an increase this year.'

Body hair transplant (BHT):
For common baldness usually the hair roots from the back of the head is preferred but in some situations hairs roots from other part of the body are used which is called BHT
Body hair transplant (BHT): Procedure: Essentially it is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) but often bulky soft tissue underneath without strong bony support makes it difficult than that from the scalp. Usual sites are Beard, Pubic, Chest and Back.
- Esp. valuable when scalp donor is exhausted or limited Minimal evidence of scaring due to FUE technique used
- Large Donor area
- May be a better choice for eyebrow reconstruction where one can have better matching hairs then the fast growing thick scalp hair
- Some believe unlike scalp hair which is weakened by the male hormone DHT, body hair thrives and grows thicker and longer as time goes on
- BHT can be used to feather out the hair line by cherry picked fine BHT in patients with coarse donor hairs in the occipital area.
- Slow procedure and very taxing for surgeon not only due to awkward positioning but also this is due to acute angulations of more superficially placed follicles. The follicles are often in the more bulky soft tissue with less bony support. Some of the Body Hairs are not strong shafted to facilitate easy extraction.
- Not all Body Hairs are of good quality some may take long time to grow, and may not even grow long & thick enough (We believe Beard, armpit and Pubic hairs are of better quality hair for head hair replacement) This May leave pigmented or Hypo pigmented marks in donor site esp. in dark skin
- Most FU have one and very few have 2 hairs. 3 and 4 hair FU in BHT are practically non existent. So we are transferring less number of hairs and therefore turns out more expensive to patients.
- There is cyclical variation in the amount of coverage that the body hairs provided (due to natural body hair growth/resting cycles). Body hairs did grow longer than in their original location, but not as long as scalp donor hair.
- Persons with Fitzpatrick type 3-6 skins are prone to healing with initial hyperpigmentation (much like the dark marks that you get temporarily subsequent to an acne attack) Sometimes, instead of dark pigments, you could get lighter pigmentation (hypopigmentation) in the initial phase as well. The improvement of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) can be hastened by the use of fading creams. Wounds that heal initially by hyperpigmentation can end up finally with a much shrunken spot that is either normal in color relative to the surrounding skin or may assume a relatively faintly hyper or hypo pigmented hue.
For avoiding the telogen hair from extracting you need to shave the area about 4-5 days in advance of the procedure because the telogen hair are likely to be damaged during extraction due to the nature of their structure.
Body hair varies in calibre, texture and color. It is recommended to mix body hairs with scalp hair to achieve a uniform look and feel.

The 11:59 Summary
Lester Simmons is a retired Pullman car porter. Lester often goes to the porter house to tell old stories to the rookie porters who know little about life as a porter before the union was formed. One night, after telling one such story, Lester leaves the house and hears a train whistle. Due to the fact that he knows the whistle cannot be from a scheduled train, Lester looks at his ring and realizes that he has heard the fabled 11:59, anyone who hears this whistle will die within twenty-four hours.
Lester tries to fight the inevitable by locking himself in his apartment, but when 11:59 comes around again, the train comes through the wall of his apartment and the voice of an old friend calls out to Lester. Lester admits to trying to escape the 11:59, but his friend tells him it is okay because...

10 Fun Things to do on a Friday Night
TGIF! Do you know that feeling when you are finally free from school and work as you end the stressful week on a Friday night? Well, the feeling is mutual. Friday is the most awaited day of the week where everyone enjoys the night out and the weekend. When Friday comes, expect everyone is getting all giddy and excited for their weekend rituals and habits.
After a long week full of school loads, paper works, and other stress-causing agents, you deserve a night full of fun, rest, and sleep. Everyone has their way of spending the weekend off. And Friday night has no difference. Whether you just read your favorite book, watch a movie with friends, go on a night out, or sleep the night off, it will still pay off.
You, maybe, are wondering what you could do next Friday or you might be thinking of a fun way to spend it with your family or girlfriend. So whatever your reason is, you might want to consider these ideas of 10 Fun Things to do on a Friday Night.
10. Catch up a movie with friends
From your most favorite movies to the least ones, the classical to the modern films, you sure don't want to miss out your favorite actor. Friday night is a great night to go out with friends or girlfriend. You could watch a movie in a cinema or just make your room like a theater as you install your set of speakers, LCD or projectors and pop up some popcorn.
Catch the latest movies, or you could just repeat the ones on your list over and over again. But for the record, it would be better if you would put a twist, right? Think of an unusual thing to do so you could make it not the usual thing you have been doing all this time. I know, Titanic is among the most watched movies, it is still iconic, right? Or why not try series or indie features?
9. Get your game on
Friday is usually a family night for most, and to some, it is a game night. Let the game begin! Spread your cardboards and get your game on. What would be the best game to play on a Friday night? You either grab your board games and play indoors or just go out to a bowl and enjoy the night out.
But for me, it is safer just to stay in the comforts of your home. You can try charades, puzzles, scrabble, monopoly, dominoes, Egyptian war, spades or any other board or card games of your choices. Try making a bet or imposing a consequence every time someone loses the game. But make sure it won't hurt them. Remember that it is just for fun.
8. Light up the night
Usually, stargazing is one of the must-do things on a Friday night. You just lie on your back outside the house or on the rooftop, gaze up and make a wish upon the star. But when the stars are not friendly tonight, you still can go out and light the night up. There's still fun on a Friday night.
Like, what kind of fun? Gather your closest friends or your family members and light up a bonfire in the backyard. While the fire is still up, you can play a game like truth or dare or just talk the night out. Chill back and relax. It will be a long night. If you want, you can also set up a camping site in your backyard.
7. Go shopping
Friday night is also for shopaholics. The week won't be complete if they have not gone to the mall or they have not treated themselves with their precious collections. In some countries, Friday is a day to visit the mall for it is marked as a "sale day." Shopaholics are in full hopes that the thing that they have been waiting for is now on sale.
On the other hand, shopping is also a mutual bonding between a mother and a daughter where the mother brought her daughter out after a week of working away from home. This builds a connection with their relationship, and at the same time, it is an easy way of showing her love for her child – treating her out and making her feel that she still has a time for her even how busy she is.
6. Climb the tallest building in town
There's nothing more beautiful than witnessing the whole city light up from afar. Just like you are watching the stars flicker from the dark sky. Climb the tallest structure in town where you can entirely witness this picturesque. And be amazed of your city. This could also be a perfect substitute from stargazing.
Watching the lights shimmer from underneath as you sit up and listen to the sound of the swift winds. It could be relaxing in a way that eases your tension and stress. And when your time is up, treat yourself your favorite dessert or a cup of coffee before heading back home to rest.
5. Cheer on your favorite team
What is your favorite sport? What is your favorite team? May it be basketball, football, cricket, or you may be cheering on Lakers, Thunders or your favorite team, your school and your country. Friday night is usually a night of cheers and woo-hoos. Book your ticket and watch your team play.
If you are not a fan of watching from the stadium or courts, you can do it at home as you sit on your comfy couch and cheer at the top of your lungs. At least you are having the great night of your life. And just sleep it out once your team faces defeat. What's the best part of this? You saved a lot of money and disappointments.
4. Enroll in a class
A perfect way to let your stress out, you could join a class and schedule it on a Friday night. You could go boxing class, cooking class, baking class, music class, DJ class, glass-making class or anything according to your mood. Anything as long as it satisfies you and eases your stress from the whole week of distress.
Once you have booked, make sure to attend and finish the due course. It would be better if you bring a friend with you or make a new friend. Your class must fit your schedule. After this, it would be worth your time and effort.
3. Throw a pizza party
Who doesn't love pizza, right? From the Hawaiian delights to the cheese and pepperoni pizza, double cheese pizza to your pizza creation, pizza is the most loved and preferred food worldwide. Ask your friends, kids or relatives because all I know is pizza has its way of pleasing a hungry stomach.
Either you create your version of pizza or just order from the nearest branch, you can throw a pizza party at home or in your lawn. Call out your friends, watch some movie, play some games, or discuss subjective matters. The choice is yours to make. But don't forget to burn the calories after.
2. Have a Friday night out
In times like this, I bet the clubs or bars are full seating. Friday night is the time of the evening where the nerds date their books, the cinephiles watch their movies, and the party-goers paint the town red as they go club and bar hopping. However, not all bars require drinking sessions. There are bars for 18-year old and under which prohibits alcoholic drinks.
Friday night outs do not only mean the typical way of celebrating the night out. You can also enjoy through different means like going out for dinner, go dancing or ball, or just simply go out and have some fun. What kind of fun? Well, it's up to your definition of fun. But avoid too much alcohol. Spend the night free from harm and any form of accidents.
1. End your day with a therapeutic massage
I know you'll love this. After a week full of stress points and tensions, your body deserves some pampering. Visit a spa or treat yourself to a therapeutic full body massage. Let's see if you won't enjoy it. After the relaxing massage, you can now sleep peacefully and stress-free.
If you feel sore, tired and stressed out, your body needs a massage to improve performance, aid recovery, prevent and alleviate injuries, reduce stress and enhances metabolism and circulation. So this one's what you need and what your body needs. Do it on a Friday night or the rest of the weekend.

i am trying to create a form which present several sets of fields as is shown in the attachement
i expect you will have questions on this and so will await your response

I'm not sure what you want to do here. But I'm assuming something. Do you want the "resident" and "attending" separated but using the same question column?
I also noticed that you have a radio button with options whether the person filling up the form is a resident or an attendee. would the options there depend on what should the matrix reveal?
We'll look forward to your response.

I havent reveived any response and its been 3 days. I keep submitting requests but no one responds. ALL of my forms are disabled and I dont know how to get someone to help me. I see that this topic was updated 3 minutes ago so Im hoping I can get some direction?
Sorry to be a pain I just have to run a business and no one is helping me out.
- max123jotAnswered on September 09, 2016 at 08:45 PMyes... that's right
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on September 09, 2016 at 09:52 PM
Hello skinclinical,
I checked your account and it appears to be active. Have you checked your spam folder if in case the responses landed there? You can also check your posted questions to see if there were no responses made in relation to that concern.
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on September 09, 2016 at 10:16 PM
Hello m,
With your concern, you will need to create a separate matrix for your other element if what you want is to break the resident and the attendee, and then use the show/hide multiple fields condition on which matrix should appear based on the earlier selections whether they're a attending or a resident. Then choose all that fields should appear based on the selected choice.
Example: under this condition, it refers to the resident. So the action to run there is to show all Resident-related fields.
In any case, here's a sample test form which I have copied and with conditions added for that purpose: https://form.jotform.com/62528700377963
Feel free to explore and let us know if you have questions. It would be great if your questions can be in more detail so for us to be able to provide you a more explicit solution.
- max123jotAnswered on September 10, 2016 at 12:57 PM
is it possible to set up the 2 fields page 3
such that the terms resident as a header for that matrix
and similarly the term attending as a header for that matrix
so as to not have radio buttons under column resident
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on September 10, 2016 at 07:55 PM
I'm not sure if it's possible using CSS. If so, the skill to do that is beyond me. Though I don't think it's a practical method to do such. With this being said, your solution is to actually get the full HTML source code of your form, place the HTML code on a separate web page, then modify the table as needed.
In case you need to know how to get the full HTML source: https://www.jotform.com/help/104-How-to-get-the-Full-Source-Code-of-your-Form

Tracy graciously comments here from time to time and long time readers will remember that Tracy was a guest blogger here two summers ago when I was in Germany. During that summer Tracy brought out an online book Into the World which can now be found at Metaponderance. I, personally, owe Tracy a great deal because he's the one that finally got me to read Tillich!
Tracy begins his final post with this provocative question:
...a funny thought occurred to me this morning. Theology may well be the most disputed "subject" of all time! How then can one be sure that one's own point of view is the right one with respect to God?

2009 German Grand Prix – Click above for high-res image gallery
Every dog has his day. Let's make that the unofficial theme of this year's Formula One season. You can ask any of a variety of players in this year's championship and they'll surely attest to the old axiom's veracity.
First to speak up would undoubtedly be Jenson Button, the surprisingly dominant leader of this year's championship. He's been on the field since the turn of the millennium, racing for essentially the same team – under different banners – for the last seven seasons but who, until this year, had only one race win to show for it. His entire team at Brawn GP wouldn't be far behind in backing him up, either, as the scrappy insurgency has emerged as the force to be reckoned with in this tumultuous season. But this weekend's German Grand Prix, back at the Nürburgring thanks to a rotation with Hockenheim, it was another dog who had his day. Follow the jump to find out who.
This weekend in Germany, a new member was welcomed into the grand prix winner's circle, so put your hands together for Mark Webber. The Australian racer has been in F1 since 2002, driving for Minardi, Jaguar and Williams before landing with Red Bull Racing for the 2007 season and staying with them since. Despite the occasional impressive performance, Webber had never managed to advance beyond 10th place in the drivers' championship. And as the season opener – his home race – in Melbourne approached this year, 2009 didn't look like the season on which he'd finally capitalize as a bicycle accident during a fundraiser he organizes annually saw Webber collide head-on with a car, putting him in the hospital with a broken leg that could have sidelined him for at least the start of the season. But not unlike his leg, Webber snapped back for what would begin to unfold as his best season yet.
Following a pair of podium finishes – one at Monaco in 2005 and another at this same Nurburgring track in 2007 – so far this season Webber has mounded on an additional third-place finish in Spain and three second-place finishes in China, Turkey and Britain, putting him farther ahead in the standings than he'd been since his days in Formula 3. But this weekend in Germany, the first Australian to win a race in nearly three decades stood atop the podium as Webber claimed the first grand prix victory of his career.
What makes the victory even more impressive was the drive-through penalty which was inflicted upon the square-jawed Aussie by the stewards early on in the race, resulting from a controversial move off the starting grid. After leading the practice times and subsequently dominating the qualifying session on Saturday, Webber started the race from pole position, but with Rubens Barrichello starting next to him, their respective team-mates Button and Vettel right behind, and challengers charging up the field from behind, Webber cut across the track leading into Turn 1 to defend his position. It worked, but the race officials deemed the move illegal and sent Webber into the pits for a drive-through penalty – quicker than a start-stop penalty though still enough to end the day in such a challenging field. But thanks to flawless form and brilliant strategy, Webber managed to regain the lead, hold back his adversaries and bring it home together with his team-mate Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull's third one-two finish this season.
The win closes the gap between Brawn and challenger Red Bull in the constructors' standings down to 19.5 points, but in the drivers' standings tightens up the race for second place behind Button's still significant lead at 68 points to a close battle between Vettel, Webber and Barrichello, now all hovering around the mid-40's. Webber's performance was a well-deserved victory and an impressive feat that throws another challenger into the mix in a season that had started out a pure domination. However Webber's drive was hardly the only noteworthy performance this season.
Joining the pair of Red Bull drivers on the podium this weekend was Ferrari's Felipe Massa taking third place – his best finish so far this season. Despite driving a slower car, the Brazilian managed to hold back strong challengers to claim his first podium yet this season. Hardly the winning to which he and the Scuderia are historically accustomed, but as good as his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen has fared so far and better than his rival Lewis Hamilton has managed all season.
For his part, Raikkonen failed to finish the race, retiring on lap 35 at which point he was running close behind his team-mate Massa and could have brought home a solid 3-4 finish for Ferrari. Instead a collision with Force India's Adrian Sutil took the former champion out of the race. But it was at least an equal disappointment for Sutil, who had managed to get as high up the field as second place before colliding with Raikkonen upon exiting the pits from the former's first stop in an incident that recalled the pair's infamous incident at Monaco 2008.
Lewis Hamilton hardly fared any better than his predecessor world champion, however, following a daring attempt to take the lead at the start of the race. Making good use of his KERS power reserve, Hamilton surged from his third-row spot on the grid up the outside and entered the first corner ahead of Webber and Barrichello, but punctured his rear inside tire on Webber's front wing, sending the defending champion limping back to the pits and sidelining him for the rest of the race.
The impressive performance, however, came from Nico Rosberg, who has emerged as a consistently improving driver this season. Following mixed results in the opening rounds, Rosberg took 9th place in Bahrain, followed by 8th in Spain, 6th in Monaco, 5th in both of the last two races in Turkey and Britain and finished 4th – from a qualifying position of 15th – in Germany this weekend; leaps and bounds ahead of his Williams wing-man Kazuki Nakajima and now sandwiched in the standings between the two Toyotas that looked like Brawn's chief rival earlier this season.
Behind Webber, Vettel, Massa and Rosberg, the Brawn pair finished 5th and 6th with Button leading wingman Barrichello home once again. Behind them Fernando Alonso – the only multiple champion on the grid – came in 7th after a command performance that would have yielded even better results had he been able to get past the slower drivers in his way.
Heikki Kovalainen rounded out the points finishers for McLaren, taking his second-best result this season following a string of early retirements. Toyota's Glock, BMW's Heidfeld, Force Indian's Fisichella, Williams' Nakajima, Renault's Piquet, BMW's Kubica, Force India's Sutil, Toro Rosso's Buemi, Toyota's Trulli and McLaren's Hamilton all finished outside the points, with Toro Rosso's Bourdais sidelined on lap 19. Tune in again in two weeks' time for the Hungarian Grand Prix to see if Brawn GP will return to its winning ways after a two-race hiatus, Red Bull will continue its campaign or a new challenger will emerge.

Oh my word....!!! What a PATHETIC bunch of TALENTLESS IDIOTS ancyl are......!!! Proof that they have nothing better to do than 'spout forth'!!!!
We should maybe take them seriously. After all, who knows mad men better than Malaema's supporters? They work in an asylem listening to a raving idiot all day long.
I must admit that I never heard of any of these great artists - it is not like they are in the league of Mandoza. Is the sitting Miss South Africa sitting on the ANCYL's presidential staff or where is she sitting? Was it not meant to be the "incumbent"? Then if "Idols" is the only way for Limpopo youth out of the conundrum, I think they must try maths or accountancy or soccer as well, not that these are sport, but at least it is an easier way out. It is easier to be an average engineer than a hit singer or a member of the presidential staff - well on the latter it is nowadays more easy - huh Janeekob Zuma?
Isn't Mara Louw the leader of the ANCYL in Limpoepol???
Don't just attach the ANCYL just b'cos you hate them. They did not say anything about race. They are just protecting the youth in the province from people that dont respect people's feelings.Remember there are whites in Polokwane. Gareth need to be matured and stop calling people talentless. To call people in a province talentless is immature at all standards. I wonder if He is talented. Never heard him singing before.
Oh what would you do if I sung out of tune, would you get up and walk out on me... Bob "Limp Oupo" Dylan
all this ranting and raving over what is historically a very K@K Show...
It is sad..lol... i mean come on .. its idols... theyre like kids fighting over a toy
Judging by most comments, if Gareth says people are talentless He becomes a Hero. If it was Juju who said it, then everybody would be on his neck. Hmm! Put thumbs down if you like my comment.
Wow... sense of humor failure.... henceforth the ANCYL will add to it's plans for SA's future that sattire and comedy are the agents of apartheid and must be banned... idiots.
@USSA..people who speak their mind are not welcomed in SA, Malema for instance, Gareth has a democratic right to voice his views. South Africans are not open to people voicing the truth, if it is not inline with their own views, White people hate Julius Malema becuase he fights for Black people's rights to be addressed first on the other hand people like Gareth Cliff and that other white musician together with Afriforum, fights for the minority rights. I do not a problem if an individual feels that representing his people is what he/she wants to do. South Africans claim to be a diverse nation and the only ones they are fooling are themselves. What happened to freedom of speech, I have much respect for the late Eugine Terreblache because he stood and fought for what he beleived in. We all knew him as the AWB leader he was. I hate two faced people because they try and please everyone and end up not achieving anything at the end of the day, Like President Zuma for instance,look at the state of affairs with him, he promissed everyone the world and never delivered to anyone. I prefer someone who promisses certain people and make it clear to the rest that, please do not expect anything from me as I was honest and upfront about where my loyalties lie.
Malema does everything for personal gain. He represents no one. Please tell me if the poor people he "represents" have been issued their Breitling watches yet... Malema is a greedy little $hit-stirrer, and his agenda is clearly self-enrichment and fame, NOT common prosperity.
You are quoting the Beatles and not Bob Dylan.
So in other words he is not entitled to an opinion?
If he is a mad man. What do we Call Julius Malema? A Nincompoop and a Retard, I think that actually suits Julius aka Retarded Nincompoop....
The South African craze - everything must have a label, or be colour coded. Backward.
Maybe the jARSE tried out for Idols and didn't get thru so its just sour grapes. We've all had the misfortune of hearing him sing "shoot the boer" and so we all know he cannot sing. He obviously can't take rejection and its mortified him that his trial for Idols didn't succeed :)
Oh please get a life ANCYL!!
Now that would be impossible for these non starters
the dude abides.
That't just like your opinion, man.
Feel free to piss on Malema's rug..
doesn't the ANCYL have anything better to do?
Is Gareth not entitled to his own opinion?
They can't win in politics now they try their luck @ music
specifically as a judge selected to give his opinion as an end to the means!
no he is so stupid he must just shut up n behave or jump bloody agent.
Dear ANCYL,
If you promise to get rid of Malema......
Then the country will ask Gareth to leave idols......
Couldn't have put it better myself.
@Tommy you have my vote dude
even Gareth will agree to such a deal!!
I second that, with a 1 way ticket to Zim
all sponsored by his non fans
NO NO NO .We like Fat boy.He is the DA'S secret weapon.
that won't happen not anytime soon,so watch the space Budda n for that matter u can join us for the ANCYL congress to support JUJU.
"We have produced the legendary Noria Mabasa, Colbert Sokwebo, Selaelo Selota, Peter Teanett, Paul Ndlovu, Judith Sephuma and Mohlagase, among many," said Lebogo.
My thoughts exactly.
Agree. Never heard of any of them.
Yeah, it's like when you get a magazine like YOU (if you really have to, personally I just can't bring myself to pay for it) and they have photos of celebrities, and all you can think is "who are they?" and yet they're "big stars"...
Hahaha, I was wondering exactly the same thing! Hilarious!
They are talented artists. You'll do yourself a favour by listening to Judith Sephuma's songs and the poetic lyrics (it is mostly English).
Then again Krutch, who is Gê Korsten and whatsisname...uh... Nohair Bridges?
The dusty lot from Ploloks, thats who they are. After 17 years I guess I too just missed out on what great people Poloks and the ANCYL can produce. I can't say they have ever, as far as I know, adorned the front pages of the Cape Times as much as Juliarse Dilema has.
"Noria Mabasa, Colbert Sokwebo, Selaelo Selota, Peter Teanett, Paul Ndlovu, Judith Sephuma and Mohlagase" are all world-acclaimed rock-scientists and brain-surgeons !
where are they from? space???? a legend is somebody like the late PRINCESS DIANA FROM WALES. stupid idiots these ancyl people. but who can blame them, look at the leader LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe they are the latest limpopo government tender winning billionaires
Try to Google this people. No responses.
Hell Krush , get with it man. These guys can be found at any Super Sangommas Cocktail Party, sipping the latest muti body part cocktail from a steaming calabash. Building sturdy Bridges over the Great Race Divide..ing Tenders and plotting Overthrows, underhand deals and causing casual mayhem. Ambassadors for Limpopo they are. An example to the youth, fine people, famous people.
Yeah, they can't be that legendary if nobody has ever heard of them.
Never heard of any of Lebogo's list - never will either!
What are they? Never heard of them
Its cos these are only their stage names to protect their privacy from the paparazzi that hunt them down!!! Its the curse of fame!!!
Typical of a white stupid idiot ask Steve Hofmeyer,he will update u.
Simodi - I'm not saying those people aren't talented, they may very well be, but you can't call someone legendary when more than half the people in the country couldn't tell you who they are.
Michael Jackson - even though he was a complete freak, is a legend, not Colbert "never heard of you" Sokwebo.
We shuld start a show called Political Idols...but we will skip Polokwane, seen as they already proved their is no talent :-)
Correction - Political Idiots.....
if it is political idols even luke watson will be able to take part
If Garreth Cliff is a "madman," what do we call Julius Malema? Thanks Mr Cliff for saving us from yet another South African who thinks he/she can sing.
ANCYL wow, It obvious Gareth Cliff is on the show for that very reason. His blatant honesty. what must he do if there is no talent in Poloks.then again ANCYL has chosen Malema as its president so stupid remarks like these are probably forthcoming.
Hope you realize the ANC YL will not like Gareth as they have never been able to deal with the truth
One comment and they up in arms. Wow sorry we have freedom of speech in SA.
Noria Mabasa, Colbert Sokwebo, Selaelo Selota, Peter Teanett, Paul Ndlovu, Judith Sephuma and Mohlagase? Sorry, never heard of any of them.
No-one has. Must be some ANCYL cronies and family members.
Jy Ken niks.
Eish Ek bly daar en het ook nog noooooit van hulle gehoor nie. Nie in enige koerant nie. Hulle sing dalk in die skoolkoor van die Pakuil kleuterskool.
Judith Sepuma is well-known.
Judith Sephuma is a popular jazz singer who is never pictured out at clubs making a fool of herself, unlike the other "celebrities" in this country... I suppose she uses her time writing awesome songs instead
"due to the rants of one discriminating lunatic" sounds like he is talking about his own ANCYL president. If the criteria is to fire people who rant like discriminating lunatics, then I agree - Cliff must go. And so should Malema too.
Almost.. except that one you mention is always discriminating but indiscriminately, depending on his target of the day. So does that make him an indiscriminate discriminator or just a good old fashioned hypocritical twat?
O ja , that would be freedom of speech?
Or are there only certain ppl who are allowed to make use of freedom of speech? All are equal , but some are more equal that others LOL.
Besides that , i am sure he does not mean that.
If Gareth is a madman, what on earth is Malema???
@JuluisMalema : are your retarded or slow, or perhaps a bit of both. You seem to be repeating yourself here, why?
Malema doesn't come from Earth. He is a space cadet from another galaxy.
@Figjam - Don't insult space cadets. LOL
a no brain man... a stupid man... oh, man isn't something to describe Malema with!
"world's gold medallist middle-distance runner Caster Semenya came from the province." He is a woman!
Didn't know it was a political contest!! WTF!!!
When a person gives an opinion that does not marry view the views of the ruling party they are either branded a racist or mad/crazy.
Instead of shooting the messenger, maybe they should address the issues in the province.
ask mal-ema to nationalise idols! hahahaha. talk 'bout mad...these ancyl okes just know how to "soek skoor".
Nice one Gareth :) keep up the good work by keeping our ears safe from untalented people... Viva Gareth Cliff Viva!!!
AAhhh shame Jacob Lebogo. You are so very much beautiful and talented. You ar so compietint and smart. You name should be Beautiful Lebogo.
Oh shame... The youth got told they cant sing and now they want to take out their embarrassment on somebody who actually KNOWS what he is talking about... GET A LIFE PLEASE
I agree, some of the best comedy artists are from Limpopo. Malema is the leader.
Cliff, you are the star mate, to hell with JM, a sheep!!!!
oh get real if they cant take criticism, why in heavens name are they in a talent show????????????!!!!!!!
Very funny. They will do the normal ANC thing and "Demand" someone get in the top 10. Maybe Gareth should ask him to stump up and join him on the judging panel if he's such a connoisseur of musical talent.
To Jacques above... do you know any jokes that are funny or at least a little clever?
oh & i thought whites were supposed to be too sensitive, leave politics out ouf sport & talent shows, the YL is becoming a law unto themselves.
Lebogo, Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people like appear bright until you open your mouth and say something!!!
He's a judge voicing his opinion on the lack of talent that entered the competition. If thats wrong then everyone who was ridiculed and told they have no talent has a case against idols or any competition forthat matter. The fact is - not one SA Idol winner has achieved much anyway, never mind the 99% untalented, tone deaf idiots that believe they can sing and act astonished when they are told they are rubbish. ANCYL is a bunch of talentless, uneducated political wannabes!
Awesome Gareth....you tell it like it is !!! Idols is a show created to identify, and encourage development of talent. I agree there isnt much in Polokwane, not now, and even when it was called Pietersburg there was no talent either. Its a cultural nonentity !!!! Limpopo, the home of the G for woodwork, Malema, why did t he get someone to sing shoot the boer at Idols...
All of the Idols judges have been extremely honest and critical, as their jobs require, of ALL contestants, whichever province it may be. The ANCYL have no say, or power over M-Net, it is the viewers, so they can piss off!
Gareth Cliff irritates me too, but help me here: so it's ok for the ANCYL to diss the whities, but it's not ok for Gareth Cliff to call the people of Limpopo talentless? The ANCYL need to get over themselves. Thank goodness no one takes them seriously.
Um, Dear Jacob Lebogo, Clearly you don't know that Idols has THREE judges and one "celebrity" judge. Cliff does not have the final say at the auditions, the contestant has to get three "yes's" to get to the next round. It's nit Cliff's fault that there was only one talented singer who chose to audition in the whole of Polokwane! You just have to laugh at the ANCYL!
Go you good thing Gareth, - harmless comment like that & the racists are up in arms. Malema continually blurts out powerful hate speech which has ongoing violent repercussions. Makes the stomach turn to think how narrowminded & sightless those in power actually are..
Gareth was taken out of context :)
It's all the bloody agents in the media's fault.....
Any woodworking talent in Limpopo?
"The future of young aspiring artists lies in the lazy hands of a madman"...,and the future of young aspiring people lies in the lazy and corrupt hands of a lot of madmen...spelled BEE and AA!
Hahahahahah , If Gareth is a mad man ! wonder what is JUlias
Every time, the ANCYL is happy to live up to everyones expectations of saying something stupid. It REALLY doesn't matter if you nurtured the entire cast of "The Kings Speech", fathered the entire Barcelona football team and have some hermaphro-what-whats - That doesn't entitle you to claim you can sing as a pop-star. I can't either, but I'm cool with that.
please all the judges from Idols are full of nonses. i have never heard any one complain about what Randle says and tha attitude that he has, we need to except Gareths attitude and personality because that is what Gareth is like. all the judges are full of it. and so are alot of other people. maybe we need to hear from the veiwers and ask what they thought of the Polokwane interviews.
The ancyl can make statements like that because they all about madmen! The leader of the ancyl is one! And he didn't even pass matric! Ha Ha!
Last time I checked there where 4 judges to pick talent. If there was any talent, surely the other 3 would have cast a majority vote... but alas only one golden ticket. Maybe, just Maybe Gareth was right. Long live freedom of speech.
PS: Maybe Polokwane should form their own Republic and build a wall around their dis-illusions.
this is the funniest article i have read in months.... i cant wait to hear Cliff's response
Throw them some peanuts
"you bloody agent(idols judge) , go out , Bast... , go out "and this is less offensive ?
BLOODY AGENT!!! F@CK the ANCYL!!!
the truth hurts big time - dear Juju judges people by himself so he is calling himself a madman as well and he too sould be ousted!
I have no idea what mandate the ANCYL thinks it has that it must comment about someone in the media - but I do agree. Gareth Cliff is obnoxious and nasty. I specifically avoid 5FM just in case he's on.
you would matt and it's probably because he's not a bible puncher like yourself. He actually has a mind of his own.
@ Lab-Rat - well I was thinking about times on the radio where he was wholly unreasonable and insulting to people in general, but hey, I'm suer you didn't think that far, did you Rocky
mnet fired - sorry replaced Mara - now to get even they must do the same with cliff...ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! ANCYL - idiots!!!
Haha, this is just hilarious. But finally the ANCYL is playing around where they should be playing around. In the kids den. I really think that this is a sign of South Africa moving forward.

Tradition Ten and Controversy
It was the first Monday of the month and that meant reading and discussing a tradition. Those of us "regulars" at the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sisters) meeting usually expect fewer women on a Tradition Monday but this night, the room was amazingly full. We were reading Tradition Ten from the "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions" and unlike shares for many of the traditions, this one was lively and very animated.
Tradition Ten states that "Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy." What immediately comes to mind is that we are getting close to election time and this particular election is evoking a lot of emotions in a lot of people. Think about what would happen in your fellowship if someone, during his or her share, endorsed a candidate. Think what would happen if you went to a meeting and there were political posters all over the meeting room and the candidate was not of your choosing. I'm sure it is not going to make you go out and have a drink (or drug, eat, gamble, not eat, shop, etc.) but if you are like me, you might be annoyed just enough to make a decision to stay away. If you are a newcomer, I am positively sure you would get the wrong idea about the fellowship and that might be your first step back into your addiction.
It isn't just politics that should be left out of the fellowship. There are times when a person shares, he or she gets on the soapbox and promotes a belief or idea that perhaps isn't terribly controversial but makes people very uncomfortable. And why would we feel uncomfortable? Because someone else is going to respond in a negative way to what was said and what have we got here, folks? We've got ourselves a real, live fellowship argument? People take sides; sometimes silently, sometimes not. It is never a positive experience.
Some people, not just those of us in recovery, have very short fuses. This doesn't necessarily change because someone has been in recovery for any length of time. My own experience is that the longer someone has been in recovery it seems the more they feel entitled to state their opinions as truth for everyone or does not hesitate to be the first to respond to another if he/she disagrees. This is my experience. It may not be yours. I've come to the conclusion that people who are inappropriate in their sharing might still have a need to control or maybe they are a bit too righteous. Whoops! Am I taking their inventory? I am not intending to do that. Honestly, I think they are just human beings and that's just how they are. Recovery doesn't change our humanness. If that were the case everyone would want to be a part of a 12 Step group just to be perfect.
Personally, I have always hated controversy. I hate it even more when it happens in a meeting. I don't think I'm the only one. Group conscious meetings are historically known to create some tensions because, it seems, that personal opinions run higher than normal. And we wonder why no one wants to stick around and be a part of one. One of the women at the meeting said that she believes that if what you say publicly (in a meeting) is based on "your experience" it is a much safer bet then to be making others believe your way is the only way. This is particularly important because AA and other programs have no rules; no best way for everyone. The steps are but suggestions.
A number of years ago (pre-recovery), I was in a leadership position at my job. My boss and I had one agreement. We would agree to disagree. And we never agreed on anything. It was the best and most productive position in my career. Why? Because we set ground rules and nothing was ever personal. It's a bit different when you are in a recovery program because the only agreements we have are, in fact, the traditions and that doesn't mean everyone reads them the same way. The Traditions, however, are our boundaries. The reason why AA is still around today is because there were and still are enough people who hold onto the original traditions to keep it in tact. 12 Step programs should be safe. Our purpose is to stay sober and to help other alcoholics. How can we possibly help another addict when they are too frightened or disgusted to come back to a meeting?
The most important message I can give or share (as I see it) is that each one of us has to make a conscious effort to be mindful of what we say and how we say it. I don't think that means we have to be afraid to share but I do think we have to have the common sense to know if we are going to create a controversy. Likewise, maybe you are the person who wants to respond to a person creating the controversy. It takes two people to begin any type of argument or confrontation. Personally, I prefer to be neither.
Lastly, we are human and rather complicated but we have to keep in mind that our own sobriety and recovery is the most important thing in our lives. Before you decide not to attend a meeting because you were uncomfortable or angry, remember who you are punishing. If you are even at the very beginning of working a 12 Step program, you already realize that you have choices. Don't let anyone else make them for you. We each have a responsibility to ourselves to be happy, joyous and free. It is our destiny.
Namaste'. May you walk your journey in peace and harmony.
