Alcohol Testing:
Preliminary Breath Test (PBT)
As an employer, creating an alcohol-free workplace is vital when it comes to safety and accountability. Alcohol abuse can take a heavy toll on your business. Consider these stats as provided by the U.S. Dept. of Labor:
- The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services found that over 14% of Americans employed report heavy drinking, which is defined as five or more drinks on five or more days in the past 30 days.1
- The occupational categories with above-average rates of heavy alcohol use, in addition to construction, were handlers, helpers, and laborers with a rate over 15%, over 13% of machine operators, inspectors, transportation and material movers, precision production and repair workers rates. Employees in food preparation, including wait staff and bartenders have a rate slightly above 12%.2
- Alcoholism causes 500 million lost workdays each year.2
If an employee is suspected of drinking on the job, both PBT and EtG screening can be preformed to provide vital information. Depending on the specifications of the referring party, results will be withheld or given to the employee. The cost of a PBT test is $5.00. If you suspect that one of your employees is drinking on the job, please download and fill out the Employer Services Referral Form and return it to us through one of our contact methods.
"EtG is a direct metabolite of alcohol (ethanol). Its presence in urine may be used to detect recent ethanol ingestion, even after ethanol is no longer measurable. The presence of EtG in urine is an indicator that ethanol was ingested and can be detected in urine for up to 80 hours after ingestion. EtG is only evident when ethanol is ingested and is not produced as a result of fermentation.
In addition to EtG, recent scientific studies have identified ethyl sulfate (EtS) as a second specific metabolite or biomarker of ethanol. For this reason, RTL tests and reports EtS, in conjunction with EtG, to confirm recent ethanol ingestion or exposure. The detection of EtG and EtS offers greater sensitivity and accuracy for determination of recent ethanol ingestion, than by detection of either biomarker alone."3
EtG testing is available as a preliminary screen for alcohol usage. All EtG testing is a direct observation process unless otherwise specified by the referring party. A urine sample is provided by the employee and sent to the lab for testing. If the results are returned positive, EtS testing will be needed to confirm.
The cost for EtG screening is $15.00. If required, EtS conformation is available for any EtG test that returns positive. The cost for EtS conformation is an additional $40.00. Average turn-around times for lab confirmation is 7-14 days. If you suspect that one of your employees have been drinking on the job, please download and fill out the Employer Services Referral Form and return it to us through one of our contact methods.
Drug Testing:
Employers design drug-free workplaces to protect their companies from the hazards and devastating effects of drug abuse. Pre-employment drug testing helps to prevent hiring those who abuse drugs and are most often performed as part of the application process. Because every business is unique and not all employers have the same needs, every employer should carefully layout the drug testing program elements that are most beneficial to their company and work environment.
Substance abuse is a very real and dangerous threat to businesses large and small. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that drug and alcohol use in the workplace costs employers approximately $81 billion annually. Left unchecked, drug abuse can seriously damage the integrity and stability of your workplace. These statistics from the U.S. Depart. of Labor shed some light on drug use in the workplace:
- More than 70 percent of substance abusers hold some type of job according to the American Council of Drug Education. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, more than 60 percent of adults know someone who has come to work under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
- Over 15% of Construction workers, 11% of sales personnel, food preparation, wait staff, and bartenders, and over 10% of handlers, helpers, laborers, machine operators and inspectors reported the highest rates of current illicit drug use. Protective service workers reported the lowest rate of current drug use at just over 3%.1
- A NIDA-sponsored survey reveals that drug-using employees are over 2 times more likely to request early dismissal or time off. These same employees are 2.5 times more likely to have absences of eight days or more and 3 times more likely to be late for work. The chances that theses employees will be involved in a workplace accidents increase 3.6 times while the likelihood of filing workers' compensation claim by 5 times.
Pre-employment and random drug testing can help to improve productivity and morale while decreasing downtime, turnover, absenteeism, accidents, and theft.
The cost for 5-panel tests are $10 and 12-panel tests are $20. If required, substance confirmation is available for any drug test that returns positive. The cost for substance conformation is $50.00 for the first substance and an additional $25.00 for each additional substance confirmed. Average turn-around times for lab confirmation is 7-14 days. Depending on the specifications of the referring party, results will be withheld or given to the employee. If you suspect that one of your employees are using drugs in the workplace, please download and fill out the Employer Services Referral Form and return it to us through one of our contact methods.

Nearly any location that you find yourself in the world offers the type of aquatic necessities that make for a great fly-fishing vacation. In numerous areas, outfitting companies are available to provide guided tours so that you can learn about fly-fishing.
Many people are not informed about fly-fishing and still others may not have ever been on a fly- fishing trip. When a fishing experience yields piece, relaxation and permits the vacationer to return to nature's bountiful beauty, then it can be considered a success.
Fly-fishing trips may be educational, loads of fun and can even provide some terrific meals. For these reasons, many families pack up their personal items and join up at a cabin, recreation camp or some other location to spend a week or two enjoying fishing.
A fly-fishing trip can be fun for everyone, so it does not matter if you are a child or an older person. Fly-fishing is not very difficult to learn and people of any age can find it a pleasant experience.
Numerous locations offer the opportunity to take a fly fishing trip. In Alaska, for example, the water is chilly yet lovely and full of salmon, rainbow trout and other species of prized fish. The natural beauty that abounds in Alaska is too much to be covered in a single article. Seeing it all for yourself is truly believing. Where else but in Alaska can you stand in the water and watch a great abundance of wildlife run freely on the land?
Actually, Colorado also offers many opportunities for a great fly-fishing trip experience. As in Alaska, Colorado's waters run a bit cool; but, the scenery is magnificent and there are a number of outfitters that offer gear for any fishing experience you can dream up. Therefore, if you are on a vacation and want to give fly-fishing a try, you don't have to spend a lot of extra money to purchase the equipment.
Colorado's guided tours are also well known. These guides seem to know where all the great fishing spots are, since they make their living from these waters. Many of these same guides will be delighted to provide lessons on the tricks and techniques of fly-fishing. Acquiring some new fly-fishing skills will make the adventure a lot more fun. Also, you may be able to take home a prized catch with the help of one of these professional guides.
It does not really matter where you choose to vacation, because there is usually a spot for you to go fly-fishing. Moreover, the whole family will enjoy the time spent together as well as the potential for wonderful meals. When fishing, youngsters learn the basics while adults get the much-needed rest and relaxation that they need. It is just what the doctor ordered when the hustle and bustle can be left behind on a fly-fishing trip.

Grab a doughnut and a coffee and I'm going to explain what Plus sizing is all about.
Just hold off on eating the doughnut a bit because I'm going to use it in the explanation. Later you'll get to have it.
If you look at your doughnut it should be easy to see that it has the same shape as a tire (unless you grabbed a jelly doughnut). The doughnut I'll be talking about in my explanation looks like the one in the picture. If your's is different imagine it looks like the one above.
To understand plus sizing we need to consider the numbers which tell you about a tire's size. 195/65 R15 is typical. The first number before the slash is the width of the tire measured in millimeters. On your doughnut it would be how wide you'd have to open you mouth to take a complete bite.
The last number, preceded by the R -- 15 in our example is the equivalent to the size of the hole in your doughnut. It is also the diameter of the rim, in inches, on which the tire will fit.
The number following the slash is a percentage which is used to calculate the height of a tire's section. You may hear tire people call this the aspect ratio.
On your doughnut, it is the distance between your thumb
and finger if you pick up the doughnut putting your thumb in the hole
and your finger on the outside of the doughnut. If you wanted to
calculate this distance you multiply the width "195" by 65% to learn
that our example tire has a section height of 126.75mm.
There's one other measurement we need to be aware of. If your doughnut is not terribly big you could probably pick it up by placing you thumb on one side and your fingers on the other side -- the longest distance in your doughnut. This is its diameter and, if you notice, there are three parts to it. First you have a section of doughnut, then the hole and another section of doughnut. This is the same in a tire and when you are doing Plus sizing your objective is to keep this distance the same.
The reason for keeping the diameter of the tire the same is to maintain the same power, speedometer readings and fuel consumption for which the car was designed. It also helps in allowing the new tire to fit in the space allowed by the car's body, but see the precaution we note below.
The thing that seems to make this complicated, even for people who are experts is that we are given measurements in both inches and millimeters in the tire size code. But, when you make the conversions to equivalent measurements the process becomes much more simple.
If we convert 15 inches to millimeters it is 381. Now add the two sections and we have [381+126.75+126.75] 634.5 millimeters for the tire's diameter (634.5/25.4= 24.98 inches).
If all these calculations give you a headache, don't sweat. I have an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet that does it all. Get it by clicking on PlusSize Calculator and downloading the zip file.
Just like doughnuts, we have more than one version. There is a Plus 0, that's pronounced "Plus zero" and there are Plus 1, Plus 2, Plus 3 etcetera.
In Plus 0 the rim stays the same size and the width of the tire changes. In the other Plus flavors the number tells you how many inches bigger the rim becomes. So, if you start with a 15 inch rim and do a Plus 1, the rim would be 16 inches.
If we wanted to Plus Size our example tire we'd look for width and rim combinations which would keep the same diameter. There could be several possibilities.
|Plus 0
would be some Plus 0's for our 195/65 R15 tire.
If you wanted to do a Plus 1
|Plus 1
and you'd look for tires which have these sizes.
Many people like Plus sizing because it enhances the vehicle's stability and appearance, and while calculating the equivalent sizes is fairly simple once you know the process, finding available tires and installing them so they won't provoke problems on a specific vehicle is something you don't want to leave to luck.
If you want to do this, I'd recommend that you either rely on people who have had proven results on the same vehicle as you have, or rely on shops who are specialists in this process and know what they are doing from experience.
And if you want my Excel calculator get it by clicking on PlusSize Calculator and downloading the zip file.
Oh, I almost forgot: Enjoy your doughnut!

I like my Valentine's card. It is very tiny, and very cheap...
|Cheapskate Cards strike again
We also celebrated his birthday today with the last decent food from the freezer and the cupboards - a turkey, cranberry relish and home-made chocolate mousse. He is very happy with his birthday present - what's not to love about an apron made from a sack and a badge with a chainsaw gift tag? I am very happy not to have over-priced flowers, though I could do without the heartburn.
Dumb swans perhaps. With thanks to Sir Philip Sidney.
From Astrophel and Stella.
Because I breathe not love to every one,
Nor do not use set colors for to wear,
Nor nourish special locks of vowed hair,
Nor give each speech the full point of a groan,
The courtly nymphs, acquainted with the moan
Of them, who in their lips Love's standard bear;
"What he?" say they of me. "Now I dare swear,
He cannot love. No, no, let him alone."
And think so still, so Stella know my mind,
Profess indeed I do not Cupid's art;
But you, fair maids, at length this true shall find:
That his right badge is worn but in the heart;
Dumb swans, not chatt'ring pies, do lovers prove;They love indeed, who quake to say they love.

Post RHI announcement Tom Garrigan of BSRIA looks at the schemes available for air-source heat pump schemes and how they can benefit system specifiers.
The recent RHI announcement may have put air-source heat pumps on the back burner for the next 12 months at least, however the technology is still set to increase in popularity.
There are two main schemes specifically run in the UK: the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), and the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme. The MCS, supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, focuses on product and installer certification, with grants available to applicants who meet the required criteria.
Grants of up to £2500 per property are available to households, community organisations, public, private and not for profit sectors. Heat pumps with a capacity of up to 45 kW are accepted, however each technology has a minimum COP (co-efficient of performance) requirement.
All thermal performance tests are carried out in accordance with European standard EN 14511, and heat pumps have to be tested by a UKAS accredited or similar test laboratory. In addition to thermal performance tests, safety tests must also be conducted in accordance with Part 4 of EN 14511.
Sound characteristic tests are also a requirement of the MCS and have to be carried out in accordance with ENV 12102. This scheme also requires a factory production control visit to further ensure the consistent quality of the accepted products.
When applying for the ECA scheme, managed by the Carbon Trust on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change, a manufacturer can self-declare the COP of their unit at the prescribed EN 14511 test conditions. Provided the declared values meet the minimum performance criteria for each technology, the heat pump will be added to the Energy Technology Product List (ETPL).
The ETPL is audited annually, and a selection of units from each technology and multiple manufacturers are chosen to be tested by an independent test laboratory with UKAS accreditation or similar. When the units are tested independently, the manufacturer declared values must be at least 95 per cent of the independent test results in order to remain on the ETPL.
Companies buying listed products can claim an enhanced capital allowance which is a tax benefit against the purchase cost of the heat pump and other direct costs such as delivery cost, installation and professional fees. This tax benefit is only available to companies that pay UK Corporation Tax.
Both the MCS and the ECA scheme require the same test point for air-to-water, water-to-water and brine-to-water heat pumps.
Two schemes are running in Ireland, both managed by Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI): the Greener Homes Scheme (GHS) and the Home Heating Appliance Register of Performance (HARP).
Grants are available through the Greener Homes Scheme (GHS), for homes occupied prior to the 30 June 2008. The required water-to-water and brine-to-water test condition for the Greener Homes Scheme is the same as the MCS and ECA scheme. However two test points are required for air-to-water heat pumps.
Part of the Home Heating Appliance Register of Performance (HARP) scheme focuses on heat pumps, and each technology has a minimum COP requirement based on the average of multiple test points, for example air-to-water heat pumps require three test points in accordance with EN 14511.
The performance data from the thermal performance tests is used to determine the Building Energy Rating (BER), which was made compulsory for homes being sold or rented from 1 January 2009.

The owner of JJ's Corner told WJTV shortly after they closed down someone tried to break into the store located on Northside Drive and in light of recent events and out of fear for his safety, he says he did what he had to do.
"If he was coming inside and I didn't do anything, he was going to kill me," says Ali Nancer, business owner.
Nancer says he's been fearful of being in his store, JJ's Corner after hours after a recent event involving a family member, "It happened to my cousin in Canton, he was 13-years-old. He just got shot."
13-year-old Muhammad Saeed was killed during an armed robbery of his father's convenience store in Canton last month.
His father and store owner, Fahd Saeed was also shot, but survived.
"We come over here and try to make a living," says Nancer.
Nancer says he was inside JJ's Corner around 2:30 Sunday morning, when he heard someone trying to break in.
Surveillance video shows at least two men attempting to go inside the front door, but the doors were locked.
From there, Nancer tells us things took a turn when he says the man hopped the fence.
He says he immediately took action because he feared for his life.
"He went to the back and tried to break in the window. He was coming and he got a pistol on him and after that, when I saw him, I started shooting. I shot him three times," says Nancer.
Around the time, Nancer says he shot the man, a man can be seen running to a car parked in front of the store.
He struggles to get in and too weak to shut the door.
The driver then pulls off.
It's unclear where the suspects went or the condition of the man shot.
Jackson police tell us they are investigating.

As Thailand's royal interregnum approaches, the country's ruling class has been seized by what amounts almost to a reign of terror, with Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn apparently clearing out his enemies in a fashion that goes back to the installation of a long line of Rama kings.
The tension is so serious in Bangkok that many people are frightened to speak on the telephone or identify themselves in any way that could subject them to the purge. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the former head of the military who named himself premier after the May 2014 coup that ended parliamentary democracy, appears to have accepted Vajiralongkorn as the next king and is seeking to manage the situation the best way he can.
Still unpopular
The 87-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, known as Rama IX and the ninth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, has been fading for half a decade, spending months at a time in the hospital as the succession drama plays out behind the scenes, with what is said to be vicious infighting between the backers of the 63-year-old crown prince and his sister, Maha Chakri Sirindhorn although the Thai succession does not allow for a female to become the monarch.
But Vajiralongkorn is so thoroughly detested in royal circles that efforts have been vainly made to sideline him for his associations with Chinese gangsters, his womanizing and his refusal to adhere to royal rules. But a source said, "There is no longer any doubt that the prince will become the king."
'Bike for Dad'
A four-times-married wastrel who most recently pitched out his long-time consort for a Thai Airways flight attendant, the prince spends most of his time in Germany although he has made recent periodic trips back to Thailand to seek to rehabilitate his image, most principally through a series of bicycle rides in honor of his ailing parents. However, a source in Bangkok said, the prince has become enraged over allegations that people in his entourage have apparently been profiting from the sale of "Bike for Mom" and "Bike for Dad" souvenir and promotional items.
The country's draconian lese majeste law has been used against several alleged offenders including Suriyan Sucharitpolwong, better known as Mor Yong, the prince's soothsayer, allegedly because he went to spirits tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, Thailand's second-richest man, to ask for funds for the Bike for Dad event. Charoen is said to have complained to Princess Sirindhorn, who told her brother in Germany. That has blown up into a major incident with the arrest of the fortune teller and others. Dozens of army and police officials are believed to be under fire.
"The Crown Prince is said to be trying to whitewash his image ahead of the succession," a well-placed source told Asia Sentinel, an assessment shared with several other sources. "He is also said to be outraged that most of the people who have helped run his networks over recent decades have been skimming money from them too. I have no idea why the prince would be so angry about this, because it's standard for everybody to take their cut. But anyway, the prince is sending a message to everybody — don't fuck with me ahead of the succession."
Last November, the prince suddenly ordered a purge of all relatives or associates of former Princess Srirasmi, the cocktail hostess he had taken as his wife in 2001. She was banished off into the country, Along with her went Pongpat Chayaphan, her uncle and the head of the Central Investigation Unit, and dozens of police. Srirasmi's parents were jailed along with her three brothers, who were also charged with defaming the monarchy.

What Are The Primary Advantages Of Having A Professional Corporation?
A professional company is operated and owned by more than one or a single member who are involved in the same profession. The services that are mainly limited to the practice are dispensed by the corporation. The professional organizations are situated in nearly the territory and every province of the world. In each region and area, the operating head usually decides whether the members should incorporate. For instance, the regulatory person for physicians allows doctors to get involved in all territories and provinces. We request you to visit us at our website to know the services and the offers that we provide our customers.
The differentiation of a professional corporation from an ordinary corporation
There are many valuable aspects of a regular business and a professional one. Businesses which prefer only members of the similar profession can play the role of the shareholders of different companies in all most all provinces. The directors and officers who work for a professional organization should also be the shareholders of the corporate company as well. The job of a professional company should take into account the regulatory and investigative of the main body directing the profession. A professional company will not guard a professional opposite personal liability just because of the professional negligence. In the end, some of the enterprise gets benefits with is tied up with a corporation that usually possesses a restricted application for the professional business. We suggest you visit us or the best deals that you deserve.
You save an enormous amount of cash
A reduced provincial and federal tax rate usually apply to the first four lacks professional learning achieved by a corporation that is professional. Some of the provinces imply the decreased tax rate on earnings more than five deficiencies. The provincial restriction differs by region. The combined provincial and federal on income that depends on the small business limit will vary among the companies at least eleven percent and nineteen per cent. As a result of the decreased rate, the combined shareholder and corporate taxes submitted on the professional services is a little lower than the income that is earned directly. This sort of business is run by the person who is known as the proprietor. Usually, a professional corporation possesses several owners, and they mostly include the professional managers. Most of the company is restricted to the personal investments. In the most cases, the private investments have no participation in the major decisions of the business procedure. The next corporate type is the limited liability corporations.
Partnership facility of the professional services
One or more than one partners engage into the business. The sole proprietorship and the partners determine the risks that are associated with the business. Getting involved in partnership has the advantage of taking and sharing the risks together, thus getting a practical result of the problems. Running a company alone can be riskier, and if any damages occur then, the director has to take all the responsibility to solve the problems and disadvantages that occur.

Goodbye, Google Reader!
So with that I'd just like to remind my dear readers that you can still keep up with my entries via Bloglovin.
Other social networking sites I use and you can also follow me at are: Twitter, Google+, Instagram, She Said Beauty, and NetworkedBlogs.

I've noticed that many people have simply assumed that with the former going, then the latter will too. It very well might, but not yet as of now. These two blogs will explain more: link, link.

Most days you will never find someone that would say something negative against me or most people I know. They say birds of a feather…well I hang out with some really nice people. They're funny, generous, and smart…quick to give with talent and wit.
Growing up it would really crush me if I heard something someone said about me that was cruel or hateful. My world was rocked when someone would be purposely hurtful…why would anyone want to hurt me? What had I done to them?
Hopefully we all grow up and learn that hurtful words are not about the subject but the speaker themselves. Today I heard from a friend that gave me some news. News that would throw most people off kilter. Someone had spoken unkind about me to someone who is of some importance. Does that upset me? HEAVENS NO!
No response came from my heart other than sorrow for the speaker of the words themselves. I shook my head, and felt sorry that this person was so vindictive in in lies, that he had to spread hate in this world. I now know that words of these sort have nothing to do with me…but about the person speaking them. He has a hurt spirit or he wouldn't want to be spiteful.
Those Christians reading this post…I remind you to pray for the people in your future or past that have spoken ill of you or your loved ones in your life. Remember their words have no power of your life. BUT your prayers can have effects in theirs!
Thank you Jesus for your daily blessings and protection. Thank you God for your continued care and peace in my heart. I am so glad to be your child, in that you grant me happiness and joy in my life. I ask you to bless the heart of this person, who had some ill words cross his heart, mind, and mouth. I pray you forgive him and urge him to seek you. Thank you, in your name I pray…Amen.

The first peer-reviewed study in Illinois found that patients prefer medical marijuana over opioids. Thirty patients were interviewed for the study. The four health conditions among those interviewed were cancer, Crohn's disease, spinal cord injury/disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Professor at DePaul University, Douglas Bruce, indicated that several patients use medical marijuana to "counter-measure against opioid-based pain drugs," according to Illinois News Network. Patients expressed worry regarding dependence, risk of overdose and toxicity. This study is small-scale, but a much larger study is already underway.
Bruce said, "Patients described to us three types of approaches to using medical cannabis," he said. "One, as a complementary approach, one as a tapering method of getting off of prescription drugs, and one as an alternative approach without using prescription drugs at all."
Bruce is working through over 400 responses from medical marijuana patients across Illinois for a larger perspective.
The Workers Compensation Research Institute reported that about 62-percent of injured worker complaints involve the prescribing of painkillers, including opioids.

This is a re-posting about my thoughts on AUDITIONS.
As Opera McGill auditions are this Wednesday and Thursday, I thought I'd post it again.
What do I look and listen for at an audition? I'll first tell you what I DON'T look/listen for:
1) Being correct: couldn't care less if you miss a note or drop pieces of text.
2) Coordination with your pianist: I'm much more interested in the music YOU are making!
3) Singing in tune (I know that's a surprising statement, but frankly most singers sing out of tune in some way, shape or form -- why does everyone get so freaking obsessive about this?!)
4) Ornaments: what ever I hear I'm going to want to change anyway, so why worry about it?
5) What you're wearing (many of my students will tell you this is not so, but I only comment on it to them later because I know SO many in the business pay attention to this really unimportant factor).
What I DO look/listen for:
1) A human being making music with their voice
2) Singing sentences that have meaning both textually, dramatically, and vocally
3) Did I mention the making music thing?
4) Character choices - both physical and vocal
5) Good shoes (I know, I shouldn't but I notice) This means no super high heels and no sandals.
6) A singer's physicality
7) Size of Voice
8) Repertoire -- is the singer singing rep that is appropriate for their technique/age/fach etc.
9) Range -- as in high and low and at what extremes the singer is comfortable
10) Range -- stylistically speaking how comfortable/adept with Baroque/Classical/19th/20th/Musical Theatre rep and how many arias are being presented.
That's it, not much! I do tend to judge the aural before the first page gets turned and then take in the visual as the audition progresses.
With all of that said, one of the things singers forget is that the panel wants you to be incredible so that we can cast you! It's not a jury or an examination. There are no grades and there are few hard and stead-fast rules, frankly. Move around, don't move around; gesture, don't gesture; wear a suit, don't wear a suit. All of that doesn't matter with me. I want to hear someone trying to make CHOICES and loving their moment commiserating with the great composers.
If any of the McGill students are reading this -- remember:
Take a good breath before you walk in the room.
Enjoy making music and sharing your talent.
Sing, don't listen to yourself.
Think about your text and the meaning of the text.
I'm looking forward to hearing everyone!

All eyes were on Phil Ivey late yesterday as he captured his eighth WSOP bracelet. One thing we'll be watching today (except for during our latest This Week In Poker live stream…tune in here at 7pm ET, 4pm PT) is if any of the many women still alive in events today can make a case for the Year of the WomanTM again. Here's the latest updates.
:: Event #35 ($10,000 NLH Heads-Up) – Sure, if we saw the name Ayaz Mahmood on a passenger manifesto, we'd probably piss our pants and see if Southwest had any seats available on it's next flight. But whatever. The dude has a great tourney cashing record, and "some" would say he's overdue for a bracelet…until now. Mahmood won the $10k NLH Heads-Up event, banking $625,682 for the win. He defeated Ernst Schmejkal ($386,900) for the title. Get full payouts here.
:: Event #36 ($1,000 NLH) – A total of 38 remain, with Jonathan Clancy as the chip leader, stacked at 774,000. He's followed by Timothy Beeman with 549,000. Svetlana 'Glum Girl' Gromenkova (188,000), a woman, is also still alive. Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #38 ($10,000 PLH) – They're in the money, with the field down from 268 to 28. Canadian Peter Jetten is the overnight chip leader, stacked at 684,000. He's followed by the very froggy sounding Clement Thumy with 616,000. Other notables remaining include but are certainly not limited to Thomas Marchese (522,000), Dani Stern, not a woman (425,000), Amit Makhija (267,000), Amnon Filippi (255,000), Vitaly Lunkin (180,000), Sandra Naujoks, a woman (154,000), Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler (102,000), and Marco Traniello, who is married to a woman (77,000). Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #39 ($1,500 NLH Shoot-out) – Something like 1,400 entered with something like 140 advancing. Isabelle Mercier, a woman, and Annette Obrestad, a woman, remain. Get a full list of winners here.
:: Event #40 ($2,500 Razz) – A total of 365 entered the final event of the day, creating a first place prize of $214,085. A lot of women are among the 160 remaining, including overall chip leader Shannon Shorr, a woman, with 90,900. Other notable big stacks include David Chiu (49,100), Bryan Micon (40,600), Isaac Haxton (39,400), "Salty" Joe Hachem (34,500), Shawn Sheikhan (33,800), Katja Thater, a woman (33,700), Jennifer Harman, a woman (33,700), and Lacey Jones, a woman (25,700). Guess women are so good at Razz because it's a maddening game that will drive you fucking crazy and suck the life out of you if you play it long enough. Get full chip counts here.

The Antigua and Barbuda government has presented an EC$874.8 million tax free budget to Parliament announcing also a reduction in the rate of personal income tax and the payment of outstanding arrears to public servants.
"This anticipated 15 per cent increase in revenue over the expected actual revenue out-turn for 2013 will not be achieved through any new taxes or tax increases," Finance Minister Harold Lovell told legislators Thursday, insisting that the Baldwin Spencer administration had no intention of increasing taxes to meet the fiscal package.
"I repeat this administration has no intention of introducing any new taxes, nor will we increase any existing taxes," Lovell told legislators.
He said the growth in revenue will be as a result "increased economic activity in 2014" adding that a number of projects would be implemented during the 12 months.
"The growth in revenue will be a result of increased economic activity in 2014 as implementation of a number of projects I highlighted earlier commences; the revenues generated through the Citizenship by Investment Programme; and continued reforms in the tax administration system that will bring about increased compliance," he added.
But in an immediate reaction, Opposition Leader Gaston Browne described the fiscal package, titled "The New Economy" as unoriginal.
He said the budget contains a number of "plagiarised initiatives of the Antigua Labour Party" recalling that even the theme of the fiscal package had been taken from a previous statement made by "our late father of the nation" Vere Bird Sr.
In his budget presentation, Lovell said that the government, which is facing a general election later this year, anticipates that indirect taxes would account for EC$484.8 million.
He said the Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax (AVST), which accounts for 46 per cent of indirect taxes here, was estimated for the 2014 to be EC$224.4 million.
The government estimates it will make $60 million from the Citizenship by Investment (CIP) programme that Lovell said "will bring about increased compliance".
Lovell told legislators that the Baldwin Spencer government would be reducing the rate of personal income tax for the lowest band while increasing the personal allowance threshold for tax-free income.
According to the finance minister, employees earning between EC$3,501 to EC$15,500 a month would now be charged eight per cent instead of the present 10 per cent.
He said the level for tax free income would also move from EC$3,000 to EC$3,500.
"The first EC$3,500 would be taxed at zero per cent. This means that every dollar up to EC$3,500 earned by all workers in Antigua and Barbuda will be free of personal income tax," Lovell said, adding that the new measure came into effect from the start of the year.
The government said that the new policy would mean more than 4,000 people would be taken off the income tax list and Lovell said the government expects to lose an estimated nine million dollars in tax collections this year.
Last year, employees paid EC$42.5 million in income tax.
"Rather than increase other taxes or cutting social programmes, as would be inevitable if we were to abolish income tax, we will improve compliance across all tax types, in particular, property tax.
"In order to finance that loss of nine million we will only need to grow the economy by 1.72 per cent, that is very, very realisable," Lovell said.
The government also said it intends to meet its obligations to pay more than EC$100 million in outstanding arrears to public servants.

Lessons learnt
The cooperation among the major institutions involved in the region has proven itself a key tool in the management of water allocation and river basin sustainable development. On one hand, a rapid sharing information between NAWAPI and DMC played an essential role in case of flooding and droughts, reducing the dramatic outcomes of disaster events. On the other hand, a constant communication between NAWAPI and MRC allowed improving the cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia. Therefore, collecting data should be a priority in the institution's agenda in order to make more informed decisions.
Importance and relevance of adaptation
The impacts of flooding and droughts in local, national and regional scale are severe and a bad management of the site will increase the outcomes, especially considering the future scenario in a climate change prospective. The effect of using the climate service covers an important role in technology and global open data in order to reduce burden on local related infrastructures (reservoirs, gauged stations) while facilitate access to information. Meanwhile, it will allow decision makers to understand and predict the likelihood of hazards, vulnerability of the system and adopt the required measures.
Pros and cons or cost-benefit analysis of climate adaptation
Cost benefit analysis of climate adaptation is not available yet, but from previous experiences, costs would be numerous if the adaptation measures are not placed. Indeed, a weak preparation in prevention and protection from flooding and droughts due to climate change would result in significant damages to infrastructure, environment and human lives. A better understanding of these phenomena will ensure more efficient management and a reduction in costs and risks.

Fair Trade Coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fair trade coffee is coffee which is purchased directly from the growers for a higher price than standard coffee. Fair Trade coffee is one of many Fair Trade certified products available around the world. The purpose of fair trade is to promote healthier working conditions and greater economic incentive for producers.[1] Coffee farmers producing Fair Trade certified coffee are required to be part of a coop with other local growers. The coops determine how the premiums from Fair Trade coffee will be spent.[2] Growers are guaranteed a minimum price for the coffee, and if market prices exceed the minimum, they receive a per pound premium.[3] Fair Trade coffee has become increasingly popular over the last 10 years, and is now offered at most places coffee is sold.
History of Fair Trade Coffee
Regulations Prior To Fair Trade
Prior to Fair Trade certification, coffee prices were regulated by the International Coffee Organization according to the regulations set forth by the International Coffee Agreement of 1962. The agreement, which was negotiated at the United Nations headquarter in New York by the Coffee Study Group, set limits on the amount of coffee imported and exported from countries so there would not be excess supply, and consequently a drop in price. The ICA existed five years, then was renewed in 1968. The agreement was renegotiated in 1976 due to increasing coffee prices, largely a result of a severe frost in Brazil. The new agreement allowed for the suspension of price quotas if the supply of coffee could not meet the demand, and enabling them if prices dropped too low. In 1983, the agreement was again redrawn, this time creating a database on coffee trade, and implementing stricter import and export regulations. Quotas remained a part of the agreement until 1989, when the organization was unable to negotiate a new agreement in time for the next year. It was decided that the 1983 agreement would be extended, but without the quotas because they had not yet been determined. A new agreement could not be negotiated until 1992. From 1990 to 1992, without the quotas in place, coffee prices reached an all time low. Because coffee price quotas could not be decided, the new agreement of 1994 focused on public awareness, providing the public with a forum for comment and access to documents. The agreements of 2001 and 2007 aimed to stabilize the coffee economy by promoting coffee consumption, raising the standard of living of growers by providing economic counseling, expanding research to include niche markets and quality relating to geographic area, and conducting studies of sustainability, principles similar to Fair Trade.[4][5]
Beginning of Fair Trade
Fair Trade certification began in the Netherlands in 1988 in response to dropping coffee prices in the world market.[6]The supply of coffee was greater than the demand, and since no price quotas had been reimplemented by the International Coffee Act,the market was flooded. Fair Trade certification aimed to artificially raise coffee prices in order to ensure growers sufficient wages to turn a profit. The original name of the organization was "Max Havelaar", after a fictional Dutch character who opposed the exploitation of coffee farmers by Dutch colonialists in the East Indies.[7] The organization created a label for products which met certain wage standards. Within ten years three other labeling organizations began: the Fair Trade Foundation, TransFair USA, and Rättvisemärkt. In 1997 these four organizations jointly created the Fair Trade Labeling Organization, which sets Fair Trade standards, and inspects and certifies growers.[8]
The Fair Trade Certification label allows farmers and farm
workers to escape poverty by providing them the skills and the
means to compete in the global market of agriculture products.
Although Fair Trade began in the late 1940's, certification and
labeling was not enacted until 1988. This label assures
consumers that strict social, environmental, and economic
measures are taken when the production and trade of an
agriculture product occurs. Fair Trade standards require that
farmers receive fair wholesale prices for their crops. This
ensures that farmers will receive approximately $1.26 per pound
of raw coffee beans as opposed to the world market average of
Farmers who are involved with Fair Trade receive minimum floor
price and an additional premium for certified organic products.
In addition to the price standards of Fair Trade labeling there
are other principles that must be abided by.
Standards for Fair Trade Coffee Certification:
Fair labor conditions: Those who
work with Fair Trade farms are able to work with freedom of
association, safe working conditions, and fair wages. Child
labor is strictly prohibited.
Examples of community development:
Colombia: Members of the COSURCA coffee cooperative
successfully prevented the cultivation of more than 1,600 acres
of coca and poppy used to produce illicit drugs.
In 1997, Fair Trade Labeling Organization, or FLO was created to support and protect disadvantaged producers within the Fair Trade market. FLO is a non-profit organization based in Bonn, Germany, that sets Fair Trade Certification standards and certifies producers.This umbrella organization has 20 labeling initiatives worldwide that work within it to certify the products.[12]The FLO sets the price floor for the coffee. The current pricing is available on the FLO website [1] .
Many coffee vendors are now advertising Fair Trade certified coffee. This is most likely a result of increasing public awareness of Fair Trade, and increased pressure from consumers. Sam's Club, Wal Mart, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, and Starbucks all offer Fair Trade certified coffee, as do most independent coffee shops. All espresso served at Dunkin' Donuts is Fair Trade certified, as is all coffee sold at McDonald's in England. Starbucks coffee is one of the largest purchasers of Fair Trade certified coffee in the world, planning to purchase 40 million pounds of green, unroasted coffee in 2009.[13] This is in part because the company purchases massive quantities of coffee. In 2008, Fair Trade certified coffee comprised only 5% of the total coffee purchased by the company.[14]
Though large scale coffee corporations are becoming figureheads for Fair Trade, smaller companies such as Just Coffee, Higher Grounds, and Pura Vida are now working to successfully advocate Fair Trade coffee. Aside from word of mouth marketing, these small businesses are forming tour groups to various coffee producing countries, such as Guatemala and Mexico, to show consumers first hand what coffee farming with Fair Trade entails. These tours allow people to become ambassadors of Fair Trade and gain support for the movement. [15] This type of marketing provokes a growth for popularity and demand. In 2006, nearly 65 million pounds of fair-trade coffee were imported to the U.S., 45% more than the year before, and twice as much as in 2004, according to TransFair USA, in Oakland, Calif., the only third-party certifier of fair-trade goods in the U.S. Trans Fair nearly doubles every year in applicants that want to certify their coffee products.[16] This is because over the past ten years, the demand for Fair Trade coffee has increased significantly and will continue to grow.
Other advocates for Fair Trade coffee include various religious groups and churches across the U.S. From Catholic to Methodist, the concept of Fair Trade has been referenced in sermons and further enforced with fellowship hours consisting of Fair trade coffee as part of the refreshment. [17]Many church groups feel that this organization emulates Christianity by carrying out good works for others and the environment. For many of the faith-based organizations, fair trade is a way to connect younger members with an applicable message of how to be a good Christian.[18]
Fair Trade creates a price floor for coffee, which some economists believe has adverse affects on both growers and consumers. By setting prices artificially high, Fair Trade encourages more people to grow coffee, leading to a surplus. According to the rules of Supply and demand, demand is decreased because prices are higher. Critics claim farmers will be unable to sell their coffee.[19]
Transnational corporations such as Proctor and Gamble's Folger's, McDonald's, and Starbuck's now sell Fair Trade coffee, using their large consumer base and strong advertising campaigns to bring in Fair Trade consumers. Fair Trade activists are now concerned that the morally driven small Fair-Trade-oriented businesses are going to be pushed out of their original customer market.
When large corporations sell Fair Trade coffee, consumers are easily brought to the larger, well known companies for their Fair Trade coffee. This takes out the small coffee shops' edge of selling consumer-oriented, special coffee's like Fair Trade coffee and continues the success of big businesses in the coffee industry.
Generally, Fair Trade goods don't cost more than other goods because the large percentage taken by middlemen is removed from the equation. [20] However, as a result of Fair Trade's elimination of the middle man, numerous jobs are removed from the market without the guarantee of finding another.
Critics believe the Fair Trade certification is abused by marking up retail prices significantly, while only providing the growers with marginally higher prices.[21][22] When large corporations like Wal-Mart can afford to sell Fair Trade coffee, and choose to do so as an economic decision for profit, many consumers see the gap between large corporations supporting Fair Trade coffee growers in other countries but in the meantime the same corporations do not pay their workers wages similar to their profits and often put smaller, local business owners out of work. Some smaller sellers of Fair Trade coffee, who sell Fair Trade coffee as more than an economic decision are losing their Fair Trade market to these larger companies and many have suggested that TransFair USA come up with a tiered labeling system so as to show that these small business owners are truly committed to Fair Trade and aren't making the same larger profits off of the Fair Trade label that the large corporations can.[23]
Another criticism is that the per-pound price for Fair Trade coffee is that of the 1990 International Coffee Organization price, which is only moderately above the cost of production. Fair Trade farmers make $0.20-$0.30 per pound of coffee they grow and sell and as a result do not make much profit off of Fair Trade like the final sellers do.[24] While some argue that Fair Trade pushes under-empowered growers into forming cooperatives, creating islands of democracy in often autocratic regimes, others challenge the assumption that encouraging farmers to form cooperatives is a good idea. This is because co-ops can be just as corrupt as any other organization. In a system meant to eliminate middlemen that pitches itself as a direct connection to growers, co-ops add a level of bureaucracy between consumer and producer. The farmer doesn't directly receive the $1.26 but instead receives whatever portion the co-op decides. Therefore, a corruptly managed co-op can mask the real price of coffees from individual farmers and turn a profit greater than that of the farmers themselves.[25]
