Giving 'gig' workers rights isn't radical, it would bring the UK up to international 'norms'
19 October 2018
By John Hendy QC, Professor Keith Ewing and Carolyn Jones
This week has seen 'gig' workers and people on zero-hours contracts take a stand against low pay and insecure jobs, with strikes held from Brighton to Glasgow among staff at TGI Friday's, McDonald's, Wetherspoons, Uber and Deliveroo. Joining the picket line at Leicester Square, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell promised to meet the needs of the strikers through employment law reforms, such as rolling out sectoral collective bargaining, establishing a Ministry of Labour, and improving workers' access to trade unions.
Wage war: Delivering workplace justice through union collective bargaining
29 June 2018
By John Hendy QC, IER Chair
The sole justification for the policies of austerity inflicted on most of the peoples of the world has been that there is a structural deficit in the finances of government that must be reduced. That austerity has nearly everywhere increased those deficits came as a surprise to no-one. Indeed, austerity could have had no other consequence.
'Good Work' the government's Response to the Taylor Review
12 February 2018
By John Hendy QC, IER Chair and Barrister at Old Square Chambers
It might be hard to imagine that the tedious, barren worthlessness of Matthew Taylor's Report on 'Good Work' could be surpassed. But it has been. The government's Response to it (also called 'Good Work') is yet more tedious, barren and worthless. Both proceed on the basis that 'the UK has one of the most successful labour markets in the world'. For that reason all that is needed is to note some troubling issues like low productivity, low pay and income insecurity and do nothing about them. All other issues, we are told, will be given further consideration and consultation. No real change is proposed to anything.
Canada plus, plus, plus
19 December 2017
By Professor Keith Ewing and John Hendy QC
David Davis has suggested that in place of the EU Treaties, the UK's relations with the EU should be regulated by a deal which is 'Canada, plus, plus, plus'. By this he means a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) based on the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) agreed between the EU and Canada. The British people should treat the proposal with revulsion. It contains every one of the defects which led 3.5 million Europeans to sign a petition objecting to the now defunct TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the USA), a sister agreement to CETA.
Where is workers' voice in Taylor's Review?
11 July 2017
By John Hendy QC, IER Chair
Changes to the law to protect the rights of those who work for a living are essential. It is doubtful if the changes proposed by theTaylor Review are anything like radical enough. They appear to ignore the fact that many gig workers are already 'workers' with rights to a number of employment rights. And the proposals go nowhere near far enough to deal with the problem of zero-hours contracts for the vast majority of the 2.7 million workers on such contracts.

Connections of Footpad feel it will take a good horse to lower his colours in today's Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase.
Having produced three near faultless displays since being sent chasing, the Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old, who finished fourth in last year's Champion Hurdle, is expected to prove tough to beat at Cheltenham in his quest for a hat-trick of Grade One victories this season.
Assistant trainer Patrick Mullins said: "It should be a fabulous race and with Saint Calvados there should be a lot of pace.
"Our horse handles the soft ground and stays further than two (miles) and touch wood looks a very natural jumper. He is in great form at home and will be very hard to beat. We are versatile regarding tactics as well.
Henry De Bromhead remains optimistic Petit Mouchoir can turn the tables on Footpad, having finished second behind him in last month's Irish Arkle at Leopardstown.
He said: "He was very fresh in the ring in Leopardstown and we had to actually pull him out of the ring before they went out.
"He was just a bit fresh and forward-going for those first couple of fences and made a couple of stupid mistakes, but I thought his jumping was brilliant after that and Davy (Russell) was happy.
"I'm sure we have a chance of turning the form around, but we'll see."
Fronting the English challenge is Grade Two winner Saint Calvados, who will be bidding to give trainer Harry Whittington his first winner at the meeting.
He said: "I'm very pleased with him and his work has been excellent. He looks fantastic and he seems to be thriving. He is a joy to train and looks to have improved again for the Kingmaker.
"He's very well and I couldn't be happier with him. Everything is done now.
"He schooled brilliantly on Thursday under Aidan Coleman, so it's all systems go."
Nicky Henderson fears soft ground may compromise the chance of Brain Power getting back to winning ways and providing him with a seventh victory in the race he has won previously with the likes of Sprinter Sacre and Altior.
"The ground would be a concern," Henderson conceded.
"I'd be hopeful. He will love the pace of the race and that will is the one thing he will have in his favour."
The field is completed by the Nigel Twiston-Davies trained Robinshill.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Flight 175 passes from the airspace of the FAA's Boston Center to the airspace of the New York Center, which is in Ronkonkoma, New York. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20] New York Center air traffic controller Dave Bottiglia takes over monitoring the flight from Boston Center controller John Hartling (see (8:34 a.m.) September 11, 2001). Flight 175 waits nearly 45 seconds to check in with Bottiglia. According to author Lynn Spencer, this is "rather long, and Bottiglia is just about to call the plane." But then Captain Victor Saracini, the pilot of Flight 175, makes radio contact, saying, "New York, United 175 heavy." [Gregor, 12/21/2001 ; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36]

Victor Saracini. [Source: Family photo]Just after Flight 175 enters the airspace of the FAA's New York Center (see 8:40 a.m. September 11, 2001), its pilot reports to the air traffic controller now managing the flight a suspicious transmission he had heard on departing Boston's Logan Airport. The pilot, Captain Victor Saracini, tells the controller, Dave Bottiglia: "We figured we'd wait to go to your center. Ah, we heard a suspicious transmission on our departure out of Boston, ah, with someone, ah, it sounded like someone keyed the mikes and said, ah, 'Everyone, ah, stay in your seats.'" [New York Times, 10/16/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 21; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36] Saracini is presumably referring to one of the three radio transmissions from Flight 11, where the voice of a hijacker could be heard (see 8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001 and (8:34 a.m.) September 11, 2001). However, none of these had included the hijacker telling people to stay in their seats, as Saracini describes, although the second and third transmissions included the hijacker telling the passengers, "Nobody move." [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 19] Bottiglia responds: "Oh, okay. I'll pass that along." Referring to the fact that this was the end of the transmission he heard, Saracini adds, "It cut out," and then asks Bottiglia, "Did you copy that?" [Gregor, 12/21/2001 ; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36-37] This is the last radio transmission from Flight 175. The 9/11 Commission will conclude that the plane is hijacked within the next four minutes (see (Between 8:42 a.m. and 8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20] According to author Lynn Spencer, since controllers are only given information on a need-to-know basis, Bottiglia was unaware there were problems with Flight 11, which has not yet entered his airspace. He touches his computer screen to connect to the hotline for his sector controller, and then reports: "UAL 175 just came on my frequency and he said he heard a suspicious transmission when they were leaving Boston. 'Everybody stay in your seats'—that's what he heard… just to let you know." [New York Times, 10/16/2001; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36-37]

He proved himself on various European rugby teams but he was not allowed to continue playing because of his unnecessary aggression. He then made up his mind to use this fury in the wrestling ring. He got his skills polished in Europe as well as many other parts of the world.
He can conveniently speak five different languages because of which he does not find it difficult to travel around the world for WWE. He is truly in a class unto himself.

He has won the Ring of Honor awards too along with WWE championship trophies. The thirty four year old wrestler has managed to earn considerable amount of money through wrestling and endorsements. Winning bonuses also fetch him many dollars. As recorded in 2015, his earning is exceeding 2 lakh dollars. The net worth of Antonio Cesaro is mind blowing which is about $1.5 million USD.

This includes NYS rules and regulations, general safety information and more common sense information.
This little piggy went to market today.... The Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market, down town Rome on Fridays 9am-6pm. See you there.Posted by Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market on Friday, July 10, 2015
Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market is Rome, NY's premier Friday downtown farmers market. Open every Friday starting April 29th and running through November 18th, giving vendors one of the longest running seasonal farmers markets in Central New York to sell their products at.
Hours of operation are from 9am-6pm – rain, shine, snow, sleet or high winds. Our customers come out in all weather conditions.
Why Fridays? Fridays are the best market day in Rome, giving vendors the ability to sell to a customer base which still knows how to cook, party and put food up for the year. Fridays gives our customers the ability to buy everything at one stop, fresh from the producer, before the weekend, allowing them to better use their weekend. Sales are twice as good compared to mid-week markets because our customers are buying for the weekend, not just one or two midweek meals. If you as a vendor or customer have never tried a Friday market, consider trying the Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market located in downtown Rome across from Fort Stanwix National Monument.
Located in the Berkshire Bank Parking lot at 101 West Dominick Street, corner of Erie Blvd. and North James Street. Easy to find, high visibility, easy access for vendors and customers. On-site parking for vendors and customers. Handicap accessible in a clean, flat blacktop parking lot.
No mud, animals or trees to cause problems for the safety of all.. The Market accepts FMNP, WIC, EBT, Senior FMNP, Health Bucks, Fresh Connect Checks and many other government program vouchers. Vendors are required to be enrolled in these programs if they wish to accept these items.
The Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market started out as the Rome Farmers Market over 18 years ago in an attempt by CCE of Oneida County to bring back farmers markets to the local area; After several years they handed off ownership to The City of Rome and for the next several years the city ran it, building it, after they had decided the city no longer wanted to run it. Wagner Farms, as a Rome based business and long-time vendor at the market, stepped up as the sponsor and formed the current Berkshire-Rome Vendors' Market with cooperation with the Berkshire Bank for use of their parking lot. Wagner Farms has the ability to run the market, while advertising and marketing the market to the Central New York area. With the cooperation of all the vendors, six years ago Wagner Farms took over and grew the market to the largest market in the Rome Area. By the second year of operations average yearly sales of the market in whole were over $125,000 and customer counts were over 800 / day. The average customer spends about $20.00 per visit to the market. Wagner Farms is well known in Rome, and works with other companies in Rome to promote the market as well. Make this year the year you as a vendor or customer join the Market on Fridays in Rome, NY. Find out what a market can be.
Spaces start at $65.00/ space / year. This includes one parking space and 10 x 10' space for your tent. Multiple spaces may be purchased. We allow you to buy as many spaces as you need. Minimum Requirement are: you need liability insurance, proper tax ID and licenses per NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets and Oneida County, 50% of the items must be grown or produced by you and a positive attitude towards your Fellow Vendors. We work strongly with our vendors to promote this market though out the year and may ask for advertising money from time to time as needed.
There are openings in the market for Vendors who sell:
Fresh Produce including fruits and vegetables both conventional or organic, Eggs, Meats, Cheese, Wineries, Craft Beer brewers, Baked Goods, Honey, Maple Syrup, Plants, Hand made crafts and more..
Contact Judith Wagner at 315-335-6748 any time for more information.
We thank all of you who have been part of this great market over the years, we look forward to serving you in the future, bring your families, friends, and spread the word about the market to all. With out you the market does not exist. Rome's community is the best customer, We also serve a large portion of surrounding areas and neighbors as well. Each one of you is important to us.
Thank you.
Wagner Farms and the Vendors of the Market

Poor turn out at Ramlila Maidan for 2nd day
This is in sharp contrast to the 30,000 to 40,000 people who had poured in during Anna Hazare`s fast at this venue in August. His two other fasts at Jantar Mantar in the past eight months had also witnessed a large turnout.
Organisers attributed the thin crowd to winter chill and absence of Anna Hazare.
The protest was scheduled to start at 10 am but even after an hour, the Ramlila Maidan wore a deserted look with a handful of supporters.
Recorded music was played at the venue with the supporters waving tricolour and launching into sporadic sloganeering against government. The protest had elicited a lukewarm response on Tuesday with the programme starting with a low 500 turnout. This morning the numbers dwindled.

Amanda Furness, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her poster, Therapeutic insight into Mucolipidosis IV via in vitro glia models, recently won an award at Mass General's Research Fellow Poster Celebration.
We asked Dr. Furness about her research:
What problem(s) are you addressing with this research?
Our lab is studying Mucolipidosis IV (MLIV), a genetic neurologic disease that affects children. Affected individuals have intellectual disability, limited or absent speech, difficulty chewing and swallowing, weak muscle tone that gradually turns into abnormal muscle stiffness, and problems controlling hand movements. Most are unable to walk independently.
Patients typically remain stable into their 20s and 30s when they start to develop corneal clouding, leading to blindness. Although MLIV is a pan-ethnic disease, the vast majority of MLIV patients are of Ashkenazi Jewish decent.
To date, there is neither a specific treatment for MLIV, nor a complete mechanistic model explaining its pathology. Our goal is to investigate, understand, and control the pathways affected by the disease and ameliorate the resulting clinical manifestations of MLIV.
What methods did you use?
Previous members of the lab have developed and characterized the MLIV mouse model, which is an excellent model of the disease. We have used this model to study various aspects of the disease ranging from cellular signatures to motor function.
Our prior research has shown that neuroinflammation caused by dysfunction of cells in the central nervous system — called glial cells — is an early and important sign of MLIV.
Thus, in our recently presented and published research, we developed in vitro models for two subtypes of glial cells, astrocytes and microglia, that model the dysfunction of these cells in individuals with MLIV.
The cultured cells from MLIV mice were investigated using an assay to monitor changes in proinflammatory molecule production. The cells were also imaged using a microscope to look at structure, markers of inflammation, and the contents of lysosomes — enzyme-containing organelles that break down a variety of biomolecules.
What results did you find and how do your results expand our understanding of this topic?
The in vitro models we developed provide both a phenotypical representation of the disease, as well as mechanistic insight into the glial function in MLIV.
In attempts to find strategies to slow the progression of MLIV, we also tested fingolimod, an FDA approved drug for multiple sclerosis, on our MLIV cells. Our data show that this drug reduces pro-inflammatory signaling in cultured astrocytes from MLIV mice. Furthermore, fingolimod was also able to correct lysosomal impairment, which is a primary consequence of the disease.
What are the implications for clinical care?
Because we saw cell function recovery and proinflammatory reduction in our cell models, we can now move to a pre-clinical trial where we will determine if fingolimod can recover motor and muscle function in our MLIV mice. Success in this trial will hopefully pave the way for a clinical trial in MLIV patients. We are currently using the glia models to screen additional drugs for other pre-clinical trials. Our ultimate goal is to discover several compounds which could be given to MLIV patients to attack the disease and recover function from several angles.

U.S. tax reform for 2018 includes some new opportunities — as well as challenges — for investors. Here, Capital Group senior counsel Jason Bortz discusses two of them.
Senior counsel
21 years of investment experience
Matt Miller: Congress had this big tax reform in 2018. A lot of big changes. What are the major takeaways for investors?
Jason Bortz: It's a really big bill. [It] completely changes how businesses are taxed. Major changes to international tax. Our individual taxes are going to change. But interestingly, investment tax — capital gains, dividends, the treatment of municipal bonds — those things aren't really going to change. For investors, the big takeaway is that the changes aren't that big. There are a few new opportunities, a few new challenges, but it's nothing like the business-side impacts.
Matt Miller: And so are there specific things that you would urge folks to look at, within that broader context that it's not a big deal for investors per se?
Jason Bortz: Yeah. So I would think about college savings programs. College 529 programs got a real boost.
Matt Miller: How so?
Jason Bortz: So for the first time, you can use your college 529 savings to pay for K-12 private school tuition. Right? So, big expansion of the universe of eligible expenses. It's only up to $10,000 per yer, per beneficiary. But that's a pretty significant change for people looking to save for their children's education.
Matt Miller: What else?
Jason Bortz: I think another thing to keep an eye out for is going to be the extent to which states conform to federal tax treatment. The states don't necessarily have to have the same rules that the federal government has. And usually they'll decide to conform, so it's easier on individual tax payers. But I think this time through, we're going to see a real hard look from different states about whether they want to have the federal rules. And I think tuition — and college 529 programs — is a real place where you need to pay attention, because we've already heard rumblings from a few states that they're not going to conform.
Matt Miller: How about the impact on financial advisors, that segment of the industry? Are there changes in this law that affect them? And what should they be focused on?
Jason Bortz: One really interesting one is the treatment of advisory fees. So, in the past, if a client paid their advisory fee out of pocket, and it exceeded 2% of their adjusted gross income, they could deduct it on their income tax returns. But this legislation was all about getting rid of little special tax deductions. And so, all of the itemized deductions that were covered by that 2% floor went away.
So for the first time, advisory fees won't be deductible. That's a big change, right? So that's an advantage for people who were paid on a commissionable basis, because commissions are paid out of pre-tax dollars — inside, say, an IRA . . .
Matt Miller: Right, right.
Jason Bortz: . . . or in a taxable account. But now advisory fees won't be able to get the same treatment if they're paid out of the individual's personal account. If instead, they are paid out of an IRA or a 529 program, then they'd be paid out of pre-tax dollars. So a really interesting disconnect in the tax treatment of advisory fees.
Matt Miller: So at the margin, somehow, that incentivizes, again, the 529s or the others?
Jason Bortz: Or IRAs.
Matt Miller: Or IRAs.
Jason Bortz: Yeah, yeah. If you're paying for advisory fees, you're better off paying those through your IRA or your 529 program.
Matt Miller: And if financial advisors are getting questions from their clients on this, it'll really depend on the particular individual's income circumstances and the level of fees involved, etc.?
Jason Bortz: Yeah, not that many people in the past actually deducted their advisory fees.
Matt Miller: Right.
Jason Bortz: Because they really needed to be big to be eligible for the deduction. So you might say, "Hey, how many people are really affected?" And you need to look at each of your individual clients to think about that.

Today the Vatican released one of its most polarising documents in decades.
The text, known as the relatio post disceptationem, calls for a new approach on such hot button issues as homosexuality and cohabitation.
Veteran Vatican-watcher John Thavis has described the document as a "pastoral earthquake", while others have used words such as "stunning" and "triumph" to describe it.
But others see the document as an abrupt break with 2,000 years of Church teaching. Lay group Voice of the Family have described the synod's mid-term report as "one of the worst official documents drafted in Church history".
What do you think? Is this document a triumph or a disaster?

Join millions of investors on Stash
Investing, simplified
Start today with as little as $5Get the app
- Millennials are the biggest generation
- Four out of five millennials don't invest
- 85% of millennial women don't invest
There's been a lot of talk lately about millennials and money.
The biggest generation, over 75 million strong, is missing the boat on investing — the best way to put money to work historically.* What exactly is going on here, and why?
To learn more, Stash partnered with Harris Poll and conducted a survey of Americans age 18-34.** Here's what we found:
It's worse than we thought.
Nearly 4 in 5 millennials surveyed – 79% – say they don't invest. If that holds true on a larger scale, it means 60 million people are sitting on the financial sidelines. What's worse is that 85% of millennial women said they don't invest. That's a big, big problem. But it's also big opportunity.
79% of millennials don't invest
It's different than we expected.
Only 13% of respondents said they don't invest because they're still paying their student debt. Here are the real reasons millennials don't invest:
1. They find it confusing. 69% of millennials surveyed, and 76% of women millennials surveyed, say they find investing confusing. Fancy jargon and overly complex charts are a major turn-off.
2. They just can't relate. If millennials aren't investing, who is? Just 10% of Americans own 94% of securities. Our Harris Poll revealed that 60% of millennial women equate a typical investor to an old, white man.
3. They think it takes a lot of cash. 41% of millennials feel they don't have enough money to invest in the stock market at this time. 70% of millennials think they need at least $100 to start investing, while 38% think they need at least $1,000.
4. They trust tech over suits and ties. Millennials have been alienated by Wall Street practices, such as complicating fee structures, product pushing, and turning a blind eye to everyday, non-wealthy people. Over one-third of millennials (37%) say they'd trust a payment app more than a traditional investment firm with their money.
5. They want choice, but not too much. 93% of millennials say if they were to invest in the stock market, it would be important or very important for them to decide which companies or funds to invest their money in. But too much choice can be overwhelming. There are thousands of stocks and funds to choose from. There needs to be a balance.
There's a silver lining.
Millennials can knock-down all of these barriers. Today, it's easier than ever for them to choose where to invest, start with just a few bucks, and learn as they go. And the timing is perfect. By getting the hang of investing now, Millennials will be up-to-speed by the time they start earning more – and benefit from the largest transfer of wealth in human history.
* Past performance does not predict future results. See our disclosures. ** This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Poll on behalf of Stash from March 15-17, 2016 among 2,093 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, among whom 489 were Millennials (ages 18-34). This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

ArcelorMittal in talks to develop Chinese mining projects1 min read . Updated: 17 Aug 2010, 03:27 PM IST
ArcelorMittal in talks to develop Chinese mining projects
ArcelorMittal in talks to develop Chinese mining projects
Beijing: ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, is in talks with Chinese Wuhan Iron & Steel Group to jointly develop overseas mining projects to gain more raw material resources and reduce cost risks, a media report said.
Peter Kukielski, head of ArcelorMittal's mining sector, visited Wuhan Steel last week for talks in this regard, state -run China Daily reported today.
ArcelorMittal is willing to work with Wuhan Steel on iron ore projects via joint development and investment, Wuhan Steel, the third largest steel mill in China, said in a statement.
Wuhan Steel spokesperson Bai Fang said the two sides are still in discussion stage and nothing has materialised yet.
ArcelorMittal has 26 iron ore mines with an annual production capacity of 51 million tons and aims to expand to 100 million tons by 2015, the report said.
The company is looking at plans in countries including Liberia, Senegal and Mauritania, Kukielski said.
"Although ArcelorMittal is self-sufficient with iron ore now, they still aim to gain new iron ore resources working with Chinese steelmakers will help them to reduce risks," said Hu Kai, an analyst with consulting firm Umetals.com.
"If European economy changes and cannot digest the expansion of iron ore supplies, ArcelorMittal can transfer it to China to manage risks. It's a win-win situation. If Wuhan Steel is bidding for an iron ore project with competitors, the price will definitely be driven up. The joint development will help reduce cost risks for both sides," said analyst Xu Xiangchun from Mysteel.com.
Wuhan Steel is a good potential partner as it has accumulated experience after years of going overseas, he said adding that the company has been seeking to invest in more overseas iron ore assets to cut its reliance on expensive imports.
"We aim to be self-sufficient in iron ore supplies in three to five years," Deng Qilin, chairman of Wuhan Steel, said in March.
Wuhan Steel in May received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission for two overseas acquisitions in Africa that are expected to contribute nearly 2 billion tons of iron ore deposits.

The New IGMR And Mass Versus Populum
by Christopher M. Cullen, Joseph W. Koterski
Recent news reports about the new General Instruction to the Roman Missal seem to imply at one point that celebration of the Mass versus populum is desirable whenever possible and that celebration ad orientem is somehow undesirable. Now a close look at the actual Latin text of the relevant passage does indicate a certain ambiguity. The phrase "which is desirable whenever possible" that has been added in the new version of the General Instruction could apply either to the placement of the altar or to the manner of celebration. But the context of the passage in which the phrase in question appears actually makes clear that what the document is asserting to be desirable is not the practice of celebrating the Mass facing the people whenever possible but the provision for a free-standing altar at which such celebration is possible.
In the rush to provide instant interpretation of the new edition of the General Instruction, however, many accounts have been quick to presume that the phrase "which is desirable whenever possible" refers to the direction in which the priest is to face at the altar. For example, the National Catholic Reporter (August 25, 2000) said: "Recent comments by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger notwithstanding, the new instruction endorses the post-Vatican II practice of priests facing their congregations while celebrating Mass."
NCR went on to explain: "On the priest's stance, the 1975 instruction said that altars 'should be free-standing to allow the ministers to walk around it easily and Mass to be celebrated facing the people.' The new document maintains that language, and adds, 'which is desirable whenever possible.'"
But this interpretation of the phrase in question latches onto one of the two possibilities without even noticing the ambiguity and thus without considering which of the alternatives is actually more probably the correct one. Here is the Latin text and a literal translation:
299. Altare maius exstruatur a pariete seiunctum, ut facile circumiri et in eo celebratio versus populum peragi possit, quod expedit ubicumque possibile sit. Altare eum autem occupet locum, ut revera centrum sit ad quod totius congregationis fidelium attentio sponte convertatur. De more sit fixum et dedicatum.
299. Let the main altar be erected separate from the wall so that one can easily walk around it and at it celebration towards the people can be done — which is useful wherever possible. But this altar should occupy that place such that it is truly the center, to which the attention of the whole congregation of the faithful is spontaneously directed. Ordinarily it should be fixed and consecrated.
Since this is the passage that contains the words on which so much attention is being directed, great care is needed to ascertain the antecedent to which the quod clause refers as well as to provide the most suitable translation. Even to translate expedit as "desirable" may be saying a bit too much, so we suggest the more neutral term "useful." Now, at first glance, it might well seem that the whole clause quod expedit ubicumque possibile sit ("which is useful wherever possible") applies to the phrase "at it celebration towards the people can be done" — as if this were suggesting that Mass should be celebrated facing the people wherever possible. But, the alternative possibility is to take the clause "which is useful wherever possible" as referring to the provision of a freestanding altar, and in fact this is the more likely rendering precisely because this entire section concerns the disposition of the altar. It is not the section concerned with the actions of the Mass.
The specific context in which this passage occurs is a subsection that runs from number 296 to 308 concerning the altar and its decoration. Paragraph 309 deals with the ambo while paragraph 310 concerns the chair of the priest and other seats in the sanctuary. The larger section (##295-310) within Chapter 5 of the document, within which this subsection appears, is entitled "On the arrangement of the sanctuary for the sacred synaxis" (De presbyterii ordinatio ad sacram synaxim). As an aside, the very choice of words here is extremely interesting, for the word used for "sanctuary" is presbyterium (the place of priests). But with respect to the point in question, it is most important to note that the phrase occurs in a discussion of the altar that falls within a discussion of the arrangement of the sanctuary and not in a discussion of the actions of the Mass.
It may be helpful to remember the larger context in which this passage occurs. While Chapter 5 in general is on the arrangement of the church for the celebration of Mass, it is Chapter 4, which is concerned with the diverse ways of celebrating Mass (for instance, with and without a congregation, with and without a deacon, etc.). The point in question is whether the phrase "which is desirable (useful) wherever possible" refers to the preferred way of celebrating the Mass or to the provision of a freestanding altar. But Chapter 4 does not anywhere say that it is desirable whenever possible to celebrate Mass facing the people and, in fact, seems to presuppose the opposite.
Further indication that the quod clause in paragraph 299 does not mean to imply that celebration versus populum is "desirable whenever possible" is found in Chapter 4, which concerns the different forms of celebrating Mass. Throughout the section of that chapter on Mass cum populo there is no explicit statement about whether the priest is facing versus populum or ad orientem, but the presumption seems to be that the priest is turned away from the people for the General Instruction makes a point of clarifying precisely those points in the Mass at which the priest is to turn toward the people. It is difficult to imagine why it would do so unless the priest were not facing the people but needs to turn around in order to do so. One such moment is found in paragraph 146 when the priest, after having completed the lavabo, is directed to return to the middle of the altar and to stand versus populum and to invite the people to prayer, saying Orate fratres. It would make little sense to direct the priest to stand facing the people if he were already facing the people; in that case the phrasing would be redundant.
But this is not the only passage of that sort. In paragraph 157 concerning the exposition of the host to the people just before communion, the priest is again directed to face the people while holding the host above the paten or chalice (note, by the way, a change here from the earlier edition of the General Instruction, which had not mentioned the chalice at this point) as he says "Ecce Agnus Dei." And immediately afterwards in paragraph 158 we find the decisive passage in the moment of the priest's communion: after the people have responded "Domine non sum dignus," the priest is now directed to turn back toward the altar (stans ad altare conversus) and to say silently "Corpus Christi custodiat me in vitam aeternam" and reverently to receive the Body of Christ. The words ad altare conversus only makes sense if the priest was facing away from the altar and toward the people and then has to turn back towards it in order to receive communion.
In short, the various mentions of versus ad populum would be superfluous if the document envisioned this posture as operative throughout the section on the actions of the Mass. Unless we are to suppose that the new General Instruction was written carelessly and still happens to retain the rubrics of the Tridentine rite of the Mass (a charge that was sometimes leveled at the 1970 version of the General Instruction), Chapter 4 must be read as presuming that the posture of the priest is ad orientem and not ad populum. With this in mind, we can feel all the more confident that the phrase "which is desirable (useful) whenever possible" which occurs in Chapter 3 really does refer to the provision for a freestanding altar wherever possible and not the desirability wherever possible of celebrating, versus populum.

If you aren't using DomainTools, here are 5 ways to get started.
DomainTools, a product of Name Intelligence, is perhaps the most powerful repository of data for domainers. Here are five ways I use the site:
1. Verify ownership of big ticket domains. When I'm buying an expensive domain I like to verify that the person I'm buying it from actually owns it. DomainTools' historical whois tool lets you see the whois record for a domain name. This feature prevented me from being scammed on a $5,000 purchase. It also comes in handing when you're writing articles about domains. It's how I figured out that Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff was the likely seller of the domain Bill.com recently.
2. Domain suggestions. I'm not always thrilled by the domain suggestions DomainTools provides. But I like how its shows you a side-by-side comparison of the available domains for each term is suggests. If you see a domain that is registered in .net or .org but not .com, it might be worth registering it.
3. Buying already registered domains. This weekend I was looking for a domain to register for a new site. I searched for availability on DomainTools, and for each domain it told me if the domain was listed for sale at Sedo, Afternic, TDNAM, or BuyDomains. If you're looking to pick up some underpriced domains, do a "For Sale" search and select the "Under $2,000" category.
4. Find out who you're dealing with before making an offer. DomainTools' registrant search helps you understand the owner of a domain you might be interested in purchasing. When you search for the domain it tells you how many other domains the owner has registered. You can purchase a list of all of the domains; this is a controversial feature because it makes it easier to hijack someone's entire portfolio of domains. However, merely knowing the number of domains is helpful and unharmful.
5. Typo tool. Want to know who is typosquatting on your web site? A quick search shows you possible typo domains, if they're registered, and if they've been registered previously. I also like the "Registrant View", which shows you who the culprit is. Somjai Santiratikul and Timothy Davids, I have my eye on you!
For all its power, DomainTools can be a valuable tool for domainers. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is going to start integrating DomainTools into its search (we don't know how yet). Could Google use it to weed out domains that have changed ownership? After all, that's one of the reasons Google became a domain registrar in the first place.
[This article was inspired in part by Peter Askew's recent post at Domainer's Gazette.]

The recent Law Commission Consultation Paper Hate Crime: The Case for Extending the Existing Offences is the first large scale review of hate crime law in England and Wales. The Commission is now currently scrutinizing the large number of responses it has received before it provides its final report later this year. In the main, the Commission must decide whether it will recommend to extend the aggravated offences prescribed under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (C&DA) to include 'hostility' based on 'sexual orientation', 'transgender identity' or 'disability', and whether new offences of stirring up of hatred based on disability and transgender identity should be incorporated into the Public Order Act 1986. Alternatively, the Commission may simply recommend the status quo by retaining (though slightly improving) the current sentencing provisions set out under sections 145 & 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (CJA) – these provisions allow judges to enhance an offender's sentence where he or she is motivated by, or demonstrates, hostility based on the victim's race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability.
In deciding whether to extend the law and/or improve the current sentencing provisions, the Commission must first consider the core principles underlying the Government's approach to hate crime – as set out in their 2012 Action Plan. Within this Action Plan it states that the Government's number one aim is to prevent hate crime by challenging the attitudes which underpin it, in addition they want to increase reporting and improve operational responses to hate incidents. Considering these primary aims, it would seem prudent of the Commission to start by asking the following question:
Can ss. 145 & 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 prevent hate crime by challenging prejudice?
In other words, should the Government maintain the status quo, can the current sentencing provisions achieve its primary goal of preventing hate crime? On the face of it this seems highly unlikely. Sentencing provisions (even if somehow improved) do little more than enhance the penalty of an offender. Criminological research has consistently shown that increasing the sentence for a particular type of offence has little impact on the overall number of offences that are committed. Part of the reason for this is that very few sentencing remarks will ever reach the public domain (outside of those who attend court) and thus it is doubtful whether any general deterrence of hate crime can be achieved.
Instead, the most likely effect of ss. 145 & 146 is to send more offenders to prison for longer periods of time. We should remain sceptical about whether this approach will either prevent hate crime or challenge the prejudices which underlie it. Indeed such an approach may actually be counter-productive. For instance not only are offenders who
go to prison more likely to reoffend when they come out, but we should be highly sceptical about whether locking someone up in a hyper masculine and hostile environment will ever make them less hateful.
Yet while I remain far from convinced that focusing on sentencing provisions is the best way of addressing hate crime, I do remain hopeful that hate crime can be partly prevented and effectively challenged through the use of the criminal law. Unlike sentencing provisions, specific offences are much more likely to penetrate the public consciousness. For example, offences such as ABH and GBH have captured the public imagination and most know the seriousness of these offences. Similarly, hate crimes that make it onto the criminal statute books will be much more likely to enter public thinking, gain media attention and become part of the public vernacular. This means that the state is able to convey the immorality of hate in a much more powerful way. In fact, one problem with relying on the sentencing provisions set out in the CJA is that they are only ever applied where the police and the CPS ask the court to take them into account – frequently this does not happen (see for example the recent case of Sheard [2013]). This is because the hate element of an offence becomes secondary to the pursuance of the crime based on the fact that it will not make up part of the actual offence, as prescribed by law.
Some of you may be reading this still thinking, "But surely the C&DA has the same effect that the CJA has – i.e. when all's said and done it enhances penalties!", you are of course right, but for me the real potency of the C&DA lies in its denunciatory effects and not its often punitive outcomes. Moreover, accepting the utility of hate crime legislation does not mean that one must simply accept a retributive response to this type of crime. Instead, we need to think more creatively about how to sentence hate crime offenders. While enhancing an offender's penalty may recognise the increased harm that hate crimes cause to victims, communities and society more broadly, it is likely to do little else than appease the victim's short-lived desire for vengeance. Hence the law of hate should be concerned more with sentences that "prevent hate and challenge prejudice" while additionally attending to the needs of victims. Rather than sending more offenders to prison then, sentences should be "enhanced" by utilising more community-based rehabilitation programmes and restorative justice measures. These are measures which attend to the underlying causes of hate crime while simultaneously encouraging offenders to repair the harms they have inflicted. Together, the symbolic aspect of the criminal law when combined with community-based sentences, could help to convey important social disapproval for hate-motivated offences to the community which in turn would help to prevent it.
It is not just the social declaration against hate which the C&DA provides. There is a second, perhaps just as important, message contained within specific hate crime offences. This message is that certain groups in society will be protected from targeted victimisation. It is, in effect, recognition of the history of prejudice-based victimisation that certain groups have had to endure and that the state is willing to do something about it. This aspect of hate crime legislation is essential to groups who feel vulnerable to abuse and who demand greater protection from it by the state – especially considering that it has been the state itself that has often been the cause of minority group oppression.
This is not to suggest that the Crime and Disorder Act will solve the problem of hate crime in its entirety – in fact it should be noted that there is the concern that the state (and the Law Commission as part of its machinery) may hide behind hate crime laws while doing little else to actively tackle hate crime. Worse still, these laws may actively mask the imposition of policies – such as the recent "Go Home" posters used by the Home Office to combat illegal immigration –which actually fan the flames of hatred against certain minority groups.
Government intentions aside, hate crime laws can and do make a genuine difference by ensuring that the police and other criminal justice agencies sit up and pay attention to a problem which has blighted societies throughout the world for centuries. We might ask ourselves: Would the police put the time and resources into tackling the problem without a specific offence compelling them to? Could we locate as many hate-motivated offences that we currently do, if the law and its enforcers did not bother taking account of it? Of course it is possible, and currently is possible, but it is much more difficult. It is for all these reasons that I recommend that the Government extend the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to include sexual orientation, transgender identity and disability hostilities, ending the current hierarchy of hate-motivations in England and Wales and sending a clear message to society that all hate-motivated offences will be pursued equally and vigorously by the state.

Oh No, Murphy!!!
Y had called several well guys in the last couple months. We thought we just needed a new pump. The one guy got back to him today and told him that we need an entirely new well. $5000 is just an estimate but it won't be over $6000. Our well is around 35 years old and they only last around 15 years.
This really stinks.

I am sorry. But you are so lucky to live where ground water is higher. It costs about $20,000 to get a well here. If you can get the water rights. Water rights are so hard to fight.ReplyDelete
How is is that as soon as you spend money to pay something off....the Universe knows and makes something else happen.ReplyDelete
UGH....so sorry!
Ugh! I feel for you... :(ReplyDelete
"No good deed goes unpunished" is the old saying that comes to mind.....lolReplyDelete
Sorry this happened to y'all.
Hi - friend of Judy's here. I live in London, ON but am moving permanently next June to my house in PEI. We have a well in the basement of the house and the water has tested fine the last couple of years. How do you know when you need a new well? I have no idea how old the well is - the current house is 60 years old and was built on the foundation of the previous house that burnt down. YIKES!ReplyDelete

UG...well at least you have access to the money. Hopefully it will be less...ReplyDelete
That sucks! It does sound like as soon as you pay one thing off, another thing happens, and its been like that at our house too. Makes it hard to save! Hope it lands on the lower end.ReplyDelete
Ugh! I'm sorry. What a pain.ReplyDelete
Where is that baby? Get to work, I want a baby.ReplyDelete

Making them ideal for use at exhibitions, trade shows, marketing events, art exhibitions and for use in schools and colleges.

Ease of use
The pole and panel system are an extremely lightweight solution which is a definite positive factor when having to take your displays to different venues. Although the display board kits are incredibly lightweight, they are also a sturdy solution.
Another key benefit of modular display board's are the speed at which you can assemble them.

Due to their versatility, the modular display boards can be used double sided giving you that extra piece of advertising which helps get across your message to passers-by. Once your graphics are attached, display boards will really look professional and attract interest. Whether your preference is for having a landscape- or a portrait-style display, it is up to you to decide which type of display you require. It is easy to add more display panels to your display.
VariationsWith a choice of 13 different panel colours to choose from, you are bound to find one that will enhance your display, or perhaps you would like to choose a dual or multi-coloured display. The display is finished in high impact PVC edging in grey or now available in black.
You can complement your display by adding spotlights at the top of the display to really make the display stand out. These are easily attached and completely brighten up the whole display area.
Modular display boards are available with 4 panels, 6 panels, 8 panels and 10 panels so you are truly able to personalise your display stand.

- Stash it away and give it away to someone you love for the holidays.
And how may you ask can you win this super rad print? Easy! It's a "like" contest!

When it comes to your Halloween family fun, put safety first!
From candy corn and pumpkins to witches and goblins, it's time to celebrate the Halloween season. As you and your family get ready for the big night of trick-or-treating, ensure that you take the necessary safety precautions. Despite all the holiday fun, Halloween can be dangerous. Prepare your kids and check out these Halloween safety tips.
Costume Safety.
When choosing a costume, help your children find an outfit that's comfortable and safe. Avoid tripping by selecting a costume with a hem above the ankles and comfortable walking shoes. Avoid any peripheral vision issues by nixing the mask; rather, encourage your child to wear non-toxic face paint or makeup instead. That way they're able to see their surroundings.
Traffic Safety.
Aside from spooky jack-o-lanterns and porch lights, it's dark out when you head out for a night of trick-or-treating. Dark costumes and pedestrians roaming the streets are a recipe for disaster. Ensure that your kids are visible to reduce their risk of getting hit by a car. Have them wear a light-colored costume or add reflective tape to their outfit. That way drivers are better able to see them.
Stranger Safety.
On Halloween, you meet lots of strangers. While most are harmless, it doesn't hurt to remind your kids to be wary of strangers. Ensure that your children are aware of their surroundings and that they know never to enter a stranger's home no matter the circumstance.
Candy Safety.
It's never a good idea to eat any candies with an open wrapper. Check your kids' candies and toss any open pieces or homemade pieces. That way you can prevent any mishaps.
Panzera Insurance wishes you and your family a safe and happy Halloween! Keep your family safe year-round with the right insurance coverage. Panzera Insurance Agency, Inc. can help you find the right policy! We serve all your insurance needs. Contact us for more information.
