Whether you're a business owner concerned with making the right distinctions when engaging people to work with/for you, or a lawyer responsible for advising clients on the contractor v. employee distinction, this presentation could save you a lot of grief and money down the line.
Marin County-based employment lawyer Diana Maier and Carlos E. Torres, a Hearing Officer for the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), discuss which factors matter most in deciding how to classify workers in light of recent legal decisions that are shifting those factors. In addition to covering a broad overview of the contractor v. employee debate, they also discuss ethical considerations for lawyers considering the question of contractor classification, and assess whether the sharing economy is due for extinction in light of recent rulings against companies such as Uber.
Diana Maier is an employment and privacy law expert who founded The Law Offices of Diana Maier, PC, a San Francisco Bay Area company that provides exceptional customer service in privacy and employment law. Diana and her team advise companies on the legality of their workplace privacy and employment practices, litigate cases when needed, and conduct workplace investigations.

She enjoyed great success in winning trials for her clients and felt that she had found her ?calling? in life. But in 2003, Diana decided to transition to a career that was more sustainable for family life, and she began practicing employment law. She joined forces with the plaintiffs? employment law firm Bushnell, Caplan & Fielding, LLP, which later became Bushnell, Caplan, Fielding & Maier, LLP. Diana left the firm in 2008 in order to launch the Law Offices of Diana Maier and focus more on the defense side of employment work, particularly litigation preventative work.
In early 2013, Diana began working as outsourced In-House Counsel for Labor and Employment and Privacy Law for Quantum Corporation in Silicon Valley. To handle this role more skillfully, Diana earned two privacy credentials, CIPP/US and CIPP/E, through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

Diana's legal hobbies are blogging on employment and privacy law issues and exploring the practice of compassionate law, the idea that lawyers can be problem solvers and healers of conflict rather than just combatants for hire. Diana especially enjoys serving on the Board and heading up the Fundraising Committee of OneJustice, a California based legal non-profit that provides legal services to marginalized populations who otherwise wouldn?t have access to an attorney.

There is a multitude of issues that drive a cross-border business transaction. Sale of shares versus sale of assets; statutory mergers; joint ventures; security for enforcement of representations and warranties; governing law and venue; earn-outs and holdbacks; restrictions on foreign ownership; due diligence; local customs; privacy and many other. Most non-tax considerations are not country specific. They are driven by the economics of the deal and the negotiating position of the parties. When a transaction touches the U.S., tax has the center-stage.
From a U.S. standpoint, none of the other issues are as important as the tax consequences. Taxation of an M&A transaction will very often determine the deal structure. The parties can negotiate and agree to all the other terms, but tax will determine how the transaction is structured, what is possible and what is not.
For U.S. tax purposes, cross-border transactions are divided into two classes: inbound (foreigners doing business or investing in the U.S.), and outbound (Americans doing business and investing overseas). The tax rules that apply to inbound and outbound transactions are entirely different. We will examine both, and will then delve into the related subjects of pre-immigration tax planning (foreigners immigrating to the U.S.) and expatriation (Americans emigrating from the U.S.).

When a lower court makes a judgment on a case, an attorney must decide whether that judgment is ripe for an immediate appeal. In this course, Mr. Pollis discusses the balancing tests inherent in appellate jurisdiction. When is the need for appellate review more Important than the Interruption of trial-court proceedings? When is the need for appellate review worth the cost to the judicial system of providing it?
In the federal court system, the general rule is that orders entered during the course of a pending case are not appealable until the entire case has been resolved. This principle is commonly known as the "final judgment rule.? Mr. Pollis will discuss the benefits and exceptions of the ?final judgment rule.? Mr. Pollis will also examine how state appellate jurisdiction; especially in Ohio, differ against their Federal counterparts. The course will also examine the intricacies of separating claims in the appeals process and how appellate jurisdiction differs in civil and criminal courts.

This course will discuss the Bankruptcy Trustee's avoidance powers. Avoidance powers are the rights given to the bankruptcy trustee or the debtor in possession to recover certain transfers of property such as preferences or fraudulent transfers or to void liens created before the commencement of a bankruptcy case. The laws governing these avoidance powers are complex and are codified in chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code
Attorney Doug Cort�s will first provide an overview of the Bankruptcy code. He will then discuss how Trustee's avoidance powers come into play. The course will explain what constitutes valid preferential transfers and what are considered fraudulent transfers. Mr. Cort�s will explain in detail the key statutory defense against these avoidance powers. These defenses include a contemporaneous exchange for new value, determining intent, determining if the payments were made according to the ordinary business affairs of the parties, and establishing new value factors.
Mr. Doug Cort�s received his J.D. from Southern Methodist University (2003) and B.S. from the University of the State of New York (1994). He was an extern and law clerk to the Hon. D.

He has also served as a bankruptcy examiner and mediator.
Contracts are essential elements for building business relationships. For business to get done, parties to a transaction need to agree on certain essential terms that govern their business relationship. Contracts are the way parties to an agreement define those terms and make promises enforceable under the law. When the stakes are high there can be a tendency to get too technical and too verbose. This can often introduce more mistakes rather than prevent them. Ambiguity in contracts will often lead to conflict and ultimately litigation.
This course discusses how to avoid ambiguity by following best practices for clear contract drafting. Ms. Carolyn Seymour discusses how to achieve brevity and clarity in order to make the contract as end-user friendly as possible and remove uncertainty in the document. Ms. Seymour will address best practices to avoid legalese, how to recognize and correct linguistic ambiguity and provide proper techniques to draft dates and numbers in contracts. The course will also examine the pitfalls of passive voice in contract drafting and how to achieve simplicity in drafting through good organization, eliminating wordiness, and the use of lists.

Credit damage and loss of credit reputation can occur when misconduct by a third party results in
negative information appearing on a credit report that leads to an individual or business to lose access
to credit that was available prior to the damage. The ability to identify and assess a client?s credit
damages can increase the value of a damage demand significantly in litigation matters. This damage can
result in increased out-of-pocket costs, loss of credit capacity and loss of credit expectancy (the inability to obtain any new credit or new credit at the same interest rate category as pre-injury).
As credit reputation damages become more common, courts are rejecting the defense?s "subjective"
argument and allowing credit reputation damage as a general or special injury. Attorneys should learn
how to identify such damages and undertake a credit damage investigation whenever a significant
monetary loss appears to have occurred. This program examines credit report issues and credit
reputation damage compensation and helps attorneys identify these potential damages in a wide
variety of cases.

Corporate securities fraud has cost both large institutional investors and retail traders billions of dollars annually. Through manipulation of financial documents, misuse of corporate accounts, and publishing fraudulent statements, companies like Enron and WorldCom have left investors with massive losses. The primary way investors can seek relief for corporate fraud is through private securities litigation. This process can be expensive and take many years to go through the appellate process.
This course will examine the current statutes and case law that surround private securities litigation. How has the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act affected the ability of Plaintiff?s attorneys to successfully prove fraud? Attorney Christopher Seefer will discuss the critical steps to take when preparing for a private security lawsuit. Mr. Seefer will explain techniques to lift a stay of discovery. He will explain the challenges of pleading scienter. The course will conclude with a discussion on the importance of collective analysis and the various types of information that is essential to properly pleading a fraud case. Throughout the presentation of the course, various case studies will be brought up to illustrate key points of the presentation.

The Savings and Loans Crisis in the late 1980s and the recent Mortgage Crisis of the last decade were both exacerbated by widespread corporate fraud. Through manipulation of financial documents and publishing fraudulent statements, companies like Countrywide Financial have left investors with massive losses. Could the fraud have been detected earlier? Was there a clear paper trail for investigators to follow?
This course will examine how corporate fraud in both financial crises followed the same formula. Mr. Bill Black will discuss the key elements of the accounting fraud formula. The formula's key elements are high rate of growth over a short period of time, risky loans with premium yields, an extreme level of leverage, and extremely low reserves. Mr. Black will go into detail how financial institutions involved in the mortgage crisis used the accounting fraud formula to enrich their top executives. The presentation will list fraud red flags that appeared before the crisis and examine the paper trail that finally exposed the extent of the mortgage fraud. The course explores how collateral debt obligations played their part in hiding the fraud from investors and regulators. Mr. Black will end the presentation on a discussion on how the "chain of lying" that began with fraudulent loan applications led to a betrayal of trust between lending institutions and ultimately resulted in the total seizure of the credit markets.

When the Supreme Court decided Poe v. Seaborn in 1930, it did not foresee the mischief its decision would cause in later years. Seaborn held that, under the community property law of the state of Washington, each spouse had a vested interest in one half of all community property, including income, notwithstanding the husband's right to control and manage the property. The IRS argued that it couldn't possibly be Congress' intent to include such a large example of horizontal inequity between those living in common-law States vs. community property States. The Trial Court found for Seaborn. The IRS appealed. The US Supreme Court affirmed the lower court?s decision.
This course will explore the ramifications of Poe v. Seaborn and ask if repealing Seaborn and all of the code sections that give favored treatment to taxpayers in community property states will make the tax code more equitable. The course will discuss Congress? attempts to remedy the geographical disparity of Seaborn over the years. The course will examine how the joint filing provisions created by Congress in 1948 ended up creating more problems, ie. the marriage penalty, innocent spouse issues, problems in division of marital assets in divorce, and estate issues. The course discusses how the California legislature extension of its community property law to cover Registered Domestic Partners (RDPs) by referencing the Seaborn case, allowed income splitting for California RDPs, who are not spouses under federal law. This again has produced a series of geographic disparities in tax treatment of same sex unions in common law and community property states. Moreover, the extension of the community property regime to non-married persons is itself a departure from the age-old understanding that community property is a marital property regime solely applicable to married persons. The course ends with a Question and Answer session, taking questions from the attending audience.
1962 U.S. v. DAVIS
In 1984, Congress passed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This criminal law statute was passed when most people?s relationship with their computers was direct and straightforward. Computer access was at a fixed location (desktop computer) and authorization was based on simple password access. In today?s world of mobile and cloud computing, users? relationships to their computers and data has significantly increased in complexity. Users have multiple access points to their data through the introduction of smart phones, tablets, and the Internet. The amount of data has grown exponentially since 1984. Banking, shopping, and even dating are now easily done online.
This course examines the current limits of computer trespass law in America. The panel, made up of experienced technology attorneys and professionals, will present an overview of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984, commonly referred to as CFAA. What was this statute meant to do? How are violations defined? Is the statute in need of reform? Why? The panel will discuss several case studies to determine whether CFAA is working effectively in today?s world of social media and cloud based computing. The panel will consider what type of reforms initiatives are in development to bring CFAA to the 21st Century. The panel will discuss the federal indictments of Aaron Swartz and examine if CFAA was properly used. The course will then end with a question and answer session, taking questions from the attending audience.

The California State Bar has recently added important new components to the required course previously known as "Prevention, Detection and Treatment of Substance Abuse and Emotional Distress." The new definition of this course, "Prevention, Detection and Treatment of Mental or Physical Issues that Impair a Member's Ability to Perform Legal Services with Competence," reflects the need to consider the bigger picture of the pressures which lawyers face on a daily basis in their practices, as well as the physical and mental issues which may impair competence, such as depression, age and natural cognitive decline.
In this HD Video program attorney Steven A. Nielsen focuses on the mental changes that occur over a career. The normal aging process results in cognitive decline, and Mr. Nielsen suggests that a colleague or two keep tabs on each other, including those at large law firms. He discusses the presence of dementia and what to do should it arise, and provides links to resources on how to sell or close a practice should this occur. Other simple tips include the use of a lawyer's skills as a problem solver to help neural plasticity and memory, such as playing bridge, crossword puzzles and hobbies, physical activity in the office as well as outside and an improved diet. He also takes aim at the rise of constant electronic messages or other electronic interruptions and the damage this can have, and suggests how "Interruption Management" can help effectiveness and productivity. Mr. Nielsen's remedies and tips offered are not extreme, but are important as they can be easily implemented. This program will help attorneys improve the efficiency and enjoyment of their practices and increase awareness of cognitive issues and possible diminution of competence.

Veteran South Florida Tax Attorney Richard S. Lehman will explain the "IC-DISC" a hidden gem in the tax code.
U.S. taxpayers that sell, lease or license "export property" which is manufactured, produced or grown in the United States (more than 50% of the DISC materials sold must be made in America), can take advantage of strong support for their export profits in the Internal Revenue Code.
The IC-DISC has been approved as an acceptable tax planning entity for the export of American produced computer software and programs as early as 1985. In 1998, a very detailed set of Treasury Regulations was issued that has added certainty to this area of the law.

Law school teaches you how to think like a lawyer. And this is very important. But law school does not teach you how to actually practice law. Law school does not equip you with the day-to-day skills that you need to know in order to be a successful new lawyer and contribute meaningfully to a legal practice from day one.
In this program, Ms. Moore indentifies and discusses some of the key challenges new lawyers face as they transition from law school into a legal practice environment. If you want to succeed, and stand out from your peers, you have to make an exceptional impression from day one. In addition to a solid resume, you must demonstrate that you have the personal skills, practical skills, and business sense to succeed in your early legal career and beyond. You will be expected to know the unspoken rules of professionalism, connect with and maintain mentor relationships, master time management and organization, build productive working relationships with senior attorneys, use social media strategically, and more. Ms. Moore will explain the missteps new lawyers routinely make in the areas of confidence, professionalism, interfacing with clients, delegating work, and more. For each challenge, Ms. Moore will identify specific rubrics and techniques for addressing these challenges head on. Ms. Moore will share both the ways that new lawyers themselves can generate solutions to the challenges presented by a legal practice, as well as how their firms, companies, and other offices can support them as they navigate the challenges.
Understanding the significance of professionalism
Displaying enthusiasm
The Question/Assumption Game
Client Interactions
Learning actively
Marketing a legal practice
Work/Life Balance

Ms. Moore developed Greenhorn Legal to address a significant deficit in the legal market: law students and recent law school graduates ( even the most diligent ones ) are not prepared to practice law. The skills learned in law school are necessary, but far from sufficient, to enable young lawyers to thrive in their legal practice. The Greenhorn Legal training programs prepare law students and new lawyers to succeed. Greenhorn Legal equips new lawyers with key skills that will help them stand apart from their peers in the job search and act as indispensable members of their legal practices from day one.

Archbishop and Pope blame secularists for their failing faiths – NSS
Editorial from Terry Sanderson of the NSS:
"The Secularists" (that's you and me and anyone else who doesn't trust religion to behave properly when it gains any kind of power) have been given a new adjective to go before their name. We're familiar with the "militant" secularists, "fundamentalist" secularists and "extremist" secularists tags, but the Archbishop of Canterbury has decided that he will call us "principled secularists". We are the people he seems to fear most, the ones who he claimed in a speech last week, are staging an organised assault on all religion. Read it here

International Gymnast Online's annual year-end tradition of holiday-themed features continues with this update from Iceland's Tinna Odinsdottir, whose results in 2016 gave her good reasons to celebrate.
Although veteran Icelandic gymnast Tinna Odinsdottir made finals at two World Challenge Cup meets this year, her team's success at the Nordic Championships and European Championships count as her most satisfying achievements of 2016.
"My favorite moment of this season was winning the Nordic Championships with my team," said Odinsdottir, who turned 22 on November 3. "It was the first time ever for Team Iceland to win the senior team competition. It was such an honor to be a part of this great team. We all got into the finals and all got on the podium. It only got better when I got a silver medal on floor, something I really didn't expect. And 14th place at the European Championships in Bern was the best result ever for Team Iceland."
Odinsdottir, who finished eighth on uneven bars at the World Challenge Cup of Ljubljana in April and seventh on floor exercise at the World Challenge Cup of Cottbus in November, said the milestones she achieved in 2016 have inspired her for the coming year.
"This year was amazing and really reminded me why I do gymnastics," said Odinsdottir, who trains in Aarhus, Denmark, under Dutch coach Rene Poutsma. "There is nothing better then getting a good result after working so hard."
As Odinsdottir aims for the major meets of 2017, she plans to upgrade her routines and make them consistent.
"My biggest goals for next year are making it to the European Championships in Romania and World Championships in Canada, and having good competitions there," she said. "I'm upgrading my D-score on vault, bars and floor, and focusing on stabilization."
Odinsdottir is celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve in Denmark with her family and boyfriend, but noted the unusual holiday tradition of her native Iceland.
"Normally people are used to having one Santa Claus, but in Iceland we have 13," she said. "One by one, they come from the mountains to town and put small presents in children's shoes. Every Santa Claus has a different name. 'Kertasníkir' is a Santa that sometimes steals candles. Some children put a candle in their shoe as a present for him. Our Santas were considered to be thieves and thought to know magic. But through the years they have changed and started to give children small presents during the 13 days before Christmas."
Improving her gymnastics is only one of Odinsdottir's ambitions for 2017.
"I just want to do things that makes me happy, and be around people who make me happy," she said. "I'm going to do my very best in everything I do, and by that I will reach my goals."

New Doc to Explore Comics Code, Fredric Wertham Archives
As the Comics Code Authority came to an end this year, a period of American history closed with it. But one documentary filmmaker has an ambitious goal of bringing the tale of Fredric Wertham and the Code to life.
"Many [comic book fans] think they know the story of Fredric Wertham and comic books, but this picture is going to blow that wide open," said Robert Emmons Jr., the documentary filmmaker behind the new movie, titled Diagram for Delinquents.
As most comic fans know, Wertham was the New York psychiatrist who published the book, Seduction of the Innocent, which alleged that the violence and sexual images in comics were corrupting America's youth. The book caused such an uproar that the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency began investigating comics.
Not only is the timing for the film appropriate because of the end of the Comics Code, but it turns out that the Fredric Wertham archives became available to the public just this past August. So it struck Emmons that it was "perfect timing to bring that part of comic book history to the screen."
In fact, the film's title comes from Wertham's own notes, in which he claimed comics provide a "detailed diagram for delinquents."
"The film begins with Wertham and his influence on comics in the '50s," said Emmons, who will be directing the film. "His testimony and book are key factors that led to the creation of the Comics Code and the ultimate demise of crime and horror comics, almost toppling the once giant publisher EC Comics."
Diagram for Delinquents is a project of Sequart Research & Literacy Organization, which recently entered the world of documentary filmmaking with the well-received Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods picture. The filmmakers are raising the funding for the film on Kickstarter, currently securing more than $5,000 of a $6,000 goal.
According to filmmakers, the documentary will include historical photos, footage, and interviews with experts and comics creators. It will also feature animation and historical recreation using the Juvenile Delinquency hearing transcripts.
Yet the filmmakers don't want to villainize Wertham, instead hoping to thoroughly explore his side of the story. "The film will be a full investigation of Wertham and his mission. It's my intent to not just finger-point," Emmons said. "There is something really complex going on here and I want all perspectives represented.
"So the question is, how wrong or right was Wertham?" he said. "Like so many things, it's not black and white, there is a lot of gray area that needs to be discussed."
Wertham's impact on comics, however, is undeniable, and Emmons said he believes it can still be felt today. "It plays a role in the ongoing debate of the effects of media and children, censorship and comics, and I think it has really shaped how comics are written, who makes them, and who reads them," he said. "So the second half of the film really brings us right up to the present day of comics. That's why the title of the film is Diagram for Delinquents: Fredric Wertham and the Evolution of Comic Books."
Emmons's previous two documentary films focused on his favorite decade in American history, the 1930's. But when he turned his attention toward the 1950's, he was fascinated by the fact that Wertham's story highlights what America was experiencing at that time.
"That decade [of the 1950's] is such a transitional, tumultuous time in our history," the filmmaker said. "It's another transitional decade: Post-War and pre-sexual/political/musical revolution in America."
Plus, Emmons pointed out, he loves comics. "So there it was, a 1950's historical piece that involves the great American art form: comics," he said.
And it doesn't hurt that there is a built-in audience for the film thanks to the comic book fan-base, Emmons said. But filmmakers are also hoping the story is told in a way that non-comic fans will enjoy. "It is a story that is approachable for non-comics fans because it details such a special time in American history," he said. "It ultimately does what history is supposed to do: Tell us about ourselves then, and now."

Sleep issues are a standard response to grief. Lack of sleep (insomnia) saps your energy, makes it more durable to perform, and tougher to cope. You would like regular and refreshing sleep so as to pass though grief.
Bob Deits, M.Th, writes regarding sleep in his book, "Life After Loss." "There's no substitute for obtaining enough rest while handling grief," he says.
But some sleepless nights will quickly turn into many. In her book, "A way to Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies," author Therese A. Rando, Ph.d. notes that not obtaining enough sleep might cause mental and physical exhaustion and "contribute to your developing disease, and predispose you to unresolved grief."
Mayo Clinic defines insomnia as problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, and having regular or frequent non-restorative sleep. Consistent with "Insomnia," an article on the clinic's Internet website, the symptoms of insomnia embody difficulty in falling asleep, waking up in the dead of night, waking up too early, daytime sleepiness and irritability.
I had all of those symptoms after four loved ones died inside nine months. Stressful thoughts regarding my daughter's will, the probate method, guardianship of my twin grandchildren, clearing out my daughter's house, and putting it up for sale, kept me from falling asleep quickly. Once I finally fell asleep I had disturbing dreams.
I dreamed concerning my daughter when when she was a baby, a toddler, and a high faculty student. I dreamed I was drowning and attempting to stay afloat. I dreamed my loved ones hadn't extremely died which I used to be having bad dream. Crying usually awakened me from sleep. My sleep was so interrupted I felt like I had not slept at all.
Would I ever get another good night's sleep? In line with the Centers for Disease Management, chronic insomnia could result from stress and therefore the fear of being unable to sleep. While I did not have chronic insomnia, I had come close, therefore I took these proactive steps.
1. Fix lighter meals. Eating an excessive amount of within the evening can build you feel uncomfortable and build it tougher to sleep, consistent with Mayo Clinic. My husband and I had little interest in food so I fixed smaller and lighter meals.
2. Watch caffeine consumption. Caffeine will keep you awake. Soda pop typically contains caffeine, but I rarely drink it. However, I like occasional and drink [*fr1]-caf. When dinner I might have one cup of occasional or none.
3. Keep physically active. Though I had been on a walking program, losing four loved ones was such a shock I sat on the couch for weeks. I am more physically active now and sleep better.
4. Have a schedule. "Life When Loss" author Bob Deits thinks grieving individuals need to stay a calendar, have a schedule, eat on time, and set up their evening hours. My husband and I continued to eat at our regular time. When dinner I watched decorating shows or read mysteries.

CFO Sentiment '17 – Canary in the Coal Mine
Catapult and The CFO Alliance held a review today that covered the annual CFO Sentiment study. This national survey benchmarked over 500 CFO's from the Alliance's 6,000 members to understand the mood of businesses across a wide spectrum of industries, geographies and sizes. It also focused on the role CFO's play to impact key drivers of company performance.
One thing is clear. The CFO's role continues to evolve into one of the most important functions within an organization. And their confidence (or lack thereof) is an early signal as to the health of the company. We have found that CFO's provide the most accurate indication of where our economy is headed – Truly they are the canaries in the coal mine.
We have also polled the top 100 companies in Denver to see if the key issues facing those CFO's correlate to the national study. While there are some slight difference based on regions and industry it is clear that in Colorado and across the nation one of the most pressing issues is talent, talent & talent.
In addition CFO's highlighted these factors as critical determinants of growth and profitability in 2017:
- Expanding relationships with key existing customers
- Marketing execution
- Adding the right talent and upgrading existing talent across the organization
- Operational efficiency
To get a copy of the full report please click on this link
An early sample of the largest Colorado based companies show these issues are top of mind:
- Cyber Security / Enterprise Risk
- Effective marketing and improving ROI for sales and marketing
- Talent: Extremely tight labor market in Denver / benefits
- Uncertainty related to regulatory issues (especially tax code)
- Continuing to seek out operational efficiencies
- Optimizing capital structure / hedging foreign exposure / refinancing and capital raising as we transition from a deflationary to inflationary cost environment.
- Customer growth and retention
If you would like to contribute to our local survey please provide us with the three most important issues/opportunties you are facing in 2017. Send your emails to firstname.lastname@example.com

Models not only show their fashion styles on ramps but they also use the same style in their everyday life easily. The dress code they adopt in their private lives is simply casual.
It's not necessary to copy models according to their styles on ramp because they copy the same dress and style at every place they went and every dress on them looks amazing due to their perfect style. Now this casual dressing is style has become as common as the words romantic and classes.
Now the question arises that how can we copy the off-duty style of these models in our everyday life in order to look like them. Below here are few tips helpful for this purpose.
Carry the Simple Basic Style
A fashion seeking women can get the best look with the simplest off duty outfit. This could be accompanied by a simple color band. A plain top with a pair of jeans will complete your style.
Off Duty Monochromatic Outfit
You can easily grab attention through minimalist style of monochromatic off duty look. You can use any type of print but there could be any one color at your outfit.
Manly Inspired Dress Up
If you are thinking about men wear then you should be aware that it's nothing more than torturing yourself and its better not to do that just to look different.
Layered Outfit Off Duty
Layered outfits are used whole year and it's important to know how to use them in hot weather. Better thing is that to use slim dresses with same type of material.
Mix Bold Printed
Simple prints are made beautiful by the inborn models. We can also do so by using neutral shading.
Trench Coat Style
Trench coat is also a good style for off-duty look but heavier should be used in fall and winter and the lighter ones are perfect for spring and summer season.
Go Natural
Use common cosmetics and use naked pink lipstick shading. Grasp a pack of your hair and wet them with hairspray to give them a natural look.

Quadricentennial Plaza
— Jamestown Settlement —
The French established settlements at Cahokia in 1699 and at Kaskaskia in 1720, in what was then the province of Louisiana. After the French and Indian War, the region was ceded to the English. During the American Revolution, George Rogers Clark secured the area for the United States, and it became a part of the Northwest Territory in 1787. The area then became part of the Indiana Territory. In 1809, the Illinois Territory was organized and statehood was granted in 1818.
1673-Explored by Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette for France
1699-Permanently settled by French missionaries
1818-Admitted to the Union as the 21st state

About the author: David Hansen is a Lutheran pastor at a rural congregation in Brenham, TX. This year he started the Occupy Advent movement, using social media to encourage people to slow down and simplify during the season of Advent. Follow his personal twitter account @rev_david.
A crowd cheering in a stadium.
My daughter, jumping up and down and squealing with happiness.
A raucous worship service, full of energy and enthusiasm.
The images that come to mind when one thinks of "joy" are generally quite loud. It is easy to imagine being quietly hopeful, or quietly peaceful – but the idea of being "quietly joyful" seems to be an oxymoron.
As we enter into the third week of Advent – traditionally the week of "Joy" – images of loud celebrations surround us. But even in joy, we can find a place for quiet and introspection – a space for Quiet Joy. In fact, perhaps quiet ways of savoring joy would allow us a fuller experience of this third week of Advent.
Five and a half years ago, I was ordained as a pastor. I had spent years preparing for this day, all my family and many of my friends had gathered to take part in the celebration. Few moments in my life match that one for sheer joy.
In the moments before the service was to begin – the local clergy who were taking part were gathering together, laughing and sharing stories. Joining with them would have been one way to express my joy – but that was not where I went. My family was in the parish hall, gathered from all over the country, greeting one another after long journeys. Yes, spending time with my family as they talked and laughed also would have been a great way to express my joy – but that was not where I went either.
Instead, I went to my office – away from the noise of the sanctuary, the laughter of the parish hall, and the conversations of the sacristy. I found the one quiet place in the church, the one place where I could turn down the volume. And there, in the quiet of my office, I simply let the joy of the day wash over me. No distractions from others, no background noise, no interruptions. Just me, and the joy of that day.
I'm sure I said a prayer of thanksgiving while there alone – I don't remember exactly. What I do remember is being there in the quiet, and how wonderful it was to simply allow that joy to wash over me.
As we draw close to the Christmas, there are certainly examples of boisterous joy in the Nativity story. Angels singing from the heavens. Livestock providing a background soundtrack. Shepherds running in from the fields.
And there in the midst of it, there is one who quietly stops – perhaps the one who has the best idea of what this birth truly means. In midst of the rush and noise of the Christmas story, Mary listens to the story from the shepherds, watches her child, and as Luke tells, "Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart."
No shouts of joy. No words of wisdom to share. Unlike when she visits her cousin Elizabeth and bursts into spontaneous song, Mary simply stopped and pondered all these joyous events.
In this holy season of Advent, we too are called to quiet joy. As the world around us erupts in loud celebrations – Christmas parties, holiday songs, and shouts of joy – we are called with Mary to tune out some of the noise of life; to slow down and let quiet joy wash over us. As we prepare for the coming of Emmanuel, we too treasure all these things, and ponder them in our hearts.

Buying and selling Shares With Low Capital
A few months in the past, I tagged together with my wife and daughter as they went on a tour of the Federal Reserve Building in downtown New York. They may be disappointed about its persistent underperformance, or they can't bear to miss out on chasing after one thing which has been climbing or which is talked about ceaselessly in the media, or they might hate to wake up and have a look at the securities of their portfolios which seem to keep taking place, or they may actually consider that they can make money by following various momentum strategies.
They may pool cash obtained from a variety of particular person end buyers into funds resembling investment trusts , unit trusts , SICAVs etc. I believe INTENTION gives best results if you apply it to volitile investments like LEAPs – I've wriiten my own PURPOSE investing book exhibiting utilizing LEAPs and have a daily bear PURPOSE technique and a separate PURPOSE LEAP bear strategy. He sites an example of a participant trying to bluff someone out of his cash with a shedding hand, and he calls that stupid, not aggressive. With actual estate prices at a low, now may be a good time to put money into rental property.
Investing in mutual funds is advisable for traders who do not have enough data or time to observe his investments. Greenblatt insisted that this couldn't be accomplished anyway and that the true error was that these individuals merely owned too much stocks. What is best for you'll rely on many factors: how a lot time you need to dedicate to research, what area of the inventory market you need to invest in and how a lot talent you've got with investing. However as long as you understand what you might be investing in and what you're paying for, you can resolve if it is price it.
Counterfeit cash is likely one of the essential sources of funding for actions related to terrorism 3. Also, corrupted authorities officials and politicians who have earned in illegal ways may have no different choice to put that money into utilization.
The latest plunge in bonds is a rubber band snapping back (bonds way overvalued versus shares) and not a rubber band stretching that can finally snap (just like the bond crash before Black Monday).

Via Team8 and Bridget Dunne:
LONDON (Reuters) - A 27-year-old British man was charged on Thursday with wasting police time by lying to a Sunday newspaper about the fatal July bomb attacks in London.
Imran Yaqub Patel was charged with causing "wasteful employment of the police by knowingly making to Mazher Mahmood (a journalist) a false report" which tended to show he had useful information that could help the inquiry, police said.
Patel of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire will appear before magistrates in Leeds later on Thursday.
He was initially arrested late on Saturday on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism after the News of the World told police about comments he made to their reporter Mahmood.
The paper was not immediately available to comment on Thursday about the story, which still appears on their Web site.
Four British Muslims killed themselves and 52 others in suicide bombings on three underground trains and a bus on July 7. Two weeks later, four bombers failed in an attempt to repeat the attacks.
A number of individuals have been arrested as part of investigations into the July 7 bombings and the July 21 botched attacks. Most have been released on bail or released without charge.Source: Reuters
If the British Police can consider for any time at all the News of the World to be a valid source of information, how desperate are they to try and understand what happened that morning?
Nice also to see Ian Blair endeavouring to
At some stage in the very near future Blair, like his President Ministerial namesake in Downing Street, must go; but not before the truth about the London bombings of 7 July is revealed and justice is done for the victims, their families and the British Public.

Health Workforce Australia (HWA) has developed the In Focus series as part of their core work to provide workforce profiles on all of the health professions. Australia's Future Health Workforce Reports contain projections and modelling while the In Focus series is a current profile of a particular profession. HWA's In Focus reports combine information from a wide range of sources to provide a snapshot of the existing workforce for six health occupations so far – physiotherapy, psychology, optometry, pharmacy, dietetics and podiatry.
Each publication is divided into four main parts:
1. What is this allied health profession? Includes a brief overview of the role and training pathways.
2. What is known about this workforce?
3. What issues are expected to impact supply and/or demand for this allied health profession?
4. HWA's assessment of this workforce

Today it is my turn to host Quilt Bee. Nothing stands in the way of quilters getting together! Not the plow guy failing to show up! Not our snow blower being missing in action! Ok, I admit I had to bribe Gary to get out there in 9 degree cold to shovel. Never underestimate the power of warm chocolate chip cookies!
Only two friends were able to brave the conditions. I'm so glad Karen could come and show this beautiful quilt in progress she is making for her daughter.
She needed help deciding on fabric for the final border. Darn, we agreed none of the fabrics were right. Back to the quilt shops for another option.
I'm really glad Susie came because she brought me this gorgous table runner. I love it and it is perfect for today!

The State Department wanted the Department of Justice to prosecute for theft of taxpayer funds, but they refused. Why?
State Department investigators opened a criminal investigation into longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin,pictured, in 2013. The investigation focused on Abedin's 2011 "babymoon," where she flew to Europe with her husband, disgraced former Rep. Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner, before the birth of their child.
The State Department's inspector general (IG) was investigating whether Abedin took proper leave on the trip and later on maternity leave. The agency continues to pursue a claim with Abedin to recover more than $10,000 in compensation, her attorneys confirm.
See, she didn't go to work but she was paid anyway; no vacation time, no maternity leave, just got paid as if she was at the office the whole time. Normal people aren't allowed to do that.
The FBI's public integrity section declined to pursue the matter, according to Politico.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley wrote Abedin's lawyers Thursday that the IG's report "illustrates that the investigation developed from a 'preliminary inquiry' to a full-fledged investigation based on evidence that between 2011 and 2013 Ms. Abedin 'may have submitted false or inaccurate time records resulting in pay received for work hours which should have been charged to sick and/or annual leave.'"
Grassley stated that the review confirms that Abedin "took no annual or sick leave, did not have a telework agreement, went on a vacation and maternity leave without charging for leave, and received $33,140.03 in Gross Pay in May 2013 for 534 hours of purportedly unused annual leave."
Last month, Abedin's lawyer Miguel Rodriguez told CNN, "There is no criminal investigation and never has been" – something apparently contradicted by the IG's letter of October 22, 2013, which reads:
"This is to notify you the U.S. Department of State, Office of Inspector General, Washington, D.C., has opened a criminal investigation of the following: Subject: Huma M. Abedin. Title: Former Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. Office: Office of the Secretary. The investigation concerns allegations of title 18 U.S.C. 641 Theft."
Liars gonna lie.

The Lamentation of Christ, by Giotto di Bondone
185 x 200 cm
Chapel of the Sand, Padua
This fresco unites the features that made Giotto the main precursor to Renaissance painting. The figures are now fully human, both in their external appearance and in their gestures,
and they move in a space that is true to life which allows them to breathe. But above all, the fresco shows that Giotto has directly observed nature, rather than relying on the conventional ways of presenting it.
Pre-Giotto painting used to lay out the figures in a symbolic design, which did not respect the bonds of time and space. Giotto is the first artist who sets some serious limits on this freedom, as he deemed it incompatible with a realistic construction of pictorial space.
However, in The Lamentation of Christ, Giotto still enjoys some of that old freedom, now put to the service of a deeper expression of the event depicted.
