That is a great memory that has been made. Way to go on being in world pride.ReplyDelete
It was great seeing you guys -- wish we could have hung out for longer. Quinn had a meltdown though. Btw- a little typo in our shout out ;)ReplyDelete
Marching in the parade sounded like an amazing experience. I would have totally pushed it and done it too :)
I guess it wasn't a typo now that I think about it. You didn't end up seeing Jenn and Quinn, did you?ReplyDelete
Sounds like fun! We missed the entire thing and I wish we'd been here for some of it.ReplyDelete
Sounds like it was good. We skipped out this year but I've been in the parade twice and had so much fun doing that. More fun than watching it--although I know about that loooong wait.ReplyDelete
I get so flustered when plans change, especially if things are running behind and I can see the sleep window fading as we are just standing around waiting for something to start. It's even harder when it's something I look forward to!ReplyDelete
Today's Independence day and C wants to take the boys to fireworks tonight...I'm so nervous about it!

Hey! I thought I had replied, but maybe not... It was great to meet you! It always makes this big world a little smaller when I get to meet a blogger in real life :) Hope you made it to the "sick stuffie station" while they still had what to give out! And of course, I hope your pride was fun! (sounds like it was)... "see" you soon!ReplyDelete

Title: Sometimes You Can Go Back Again
by Christina A.
Summary: Jack learns that it's never really too late to return to what was best in life.
Sometimes, You Can Go Back Again
by Christina A.
The general looked down at the phone on his desk and then at the stack of papers he had to read. He tried to give them his full attention, but even on a good day, they bored him. Today was worse than most days. Today, he had Daniel's voice in his head. They always spent most of the holiday together. Invariably, Daniel would ask about Sara. Jack knew why he did it too. Daniel, when it came to being covert, was extremely obvious about his tactics. Jack had to admit, though, that Daniel was right about this particular topic. He had pictures in his office and in his home. He had never let go of Sara, the pictures were the proof of it. Daniel always took the opportunity to point that out… in his own annoying way.
He set down his pen and abruptly stood and left his office. He wasn't going to get anymore work done today. All he really wanted to do was go home and make a phone call… or actually check his answering machine to see if one had been made to him. "I'm out of here, guys," Jack said as he stuck his head in Daniel's office. He knew that Carter and Teal'c would be in there. The three were always hanging out in Daniel's office. He used to hang out there too.
"Leaving early, Sir?" Sam asked, her brows furrowed in curiosity. The general never left early.
"Um… looks like, yep." He rapped lightly on the doorframe and headed off down the corridor before there could be anymore discussion as to why. Why… well the reasons for his leaving were his own business.
The general stopped and had to force himself not to roll his eyes. He knew Daniel was intrigued by his early departure. He also knew that Daniel knew part of the story as well. So when Jack turned around, he didn't wait for the inevitable question. He simply said, "Yes. I called her. But she wasn't home."
"Did you…"
"Yes, I left a message and everything."
The archaeologist smiled widely. "Good."
"I'm so glad you approve," Jack quipped before continuing down the corridor. He knew the other man would follow, so he said, "I got to thinking about our little conversation on the way to the movies the other night. So I just picked up the phone and called her. Figured it would get you off my back about it."
Daniel just shook his head. "Right. Blame me if it makes you feel better. Though, it really is about time you called her."
Jack's initial reaction was to shake his own head. "Daniel, it's not that easy. One message on her answering machine isn't going to fix everything." He sighed dramatically before leaning toward his friend and whispering, "I"m going to have to talk to her about my feelings."
"Whoa!" Daniel's expression was a mixture of shock and mock-horror. "You poor man. I can only imagine how hard that's going to be for you."
"You have NO idea! Like surgery without anesthetics." He shuddered.
"Not even a local," Daniel agreed. "But think about this…" He reached out and grabbed Jack's arm. "A brief moment of pain over having to admit your feelings could heal years worth of wounds. You have a chance… a second chance here, Jack. Some of us don't have that." He let go of his friend's arm and turned to walk away.
Watching him go, Jack sighed. "I only left a message," he called out. Though, he had to chuckle when Daniel lifted his hand and waved. Jack didn't talk about his feelings or the pain that went with them. Daniel knew. Then again, Daniel was there when Jack went through the worst of it. It was Daniel who broke through the walls and reminded him that there were still some things worth living for. So when Daniel suggested he make the call, Jack took the advice. It wasn't easy. Hearing her voice on the machine brought on an onslaught of emotions he hadn't experienced in a long time. He wasn't sure what he'd say or what would happen when they talked again, but after all these years, he still loved her and he had to try.
He walked into the dark house and tossed his keys on the end table. He remembered years ago when he would come home and she would greet him. Charlie would too. Life had been so full and complete then. He rarely told Sara that, and he should have. How hard would it have been to let down the walls and talk about the pain with her? It was Sara, damn it. He could tell her anything.
He glanced over at his answering machine and saw it flashing. There was no denying the mixture of excitement and anxiety he was feeling right now. He pushed the play button and nearly froze as he heard her voice.
"Jack." There was a nervous shake in her voice. "I… well obviously I got your message. Um… I have to admit it's a little out of the blue… Not that I mind… I mean…" There was a sigh and then a slightly anxious chuckle. Her voice softened as she continued, "I'm glad you called and yes, you can call me back or… come over sometime. It would be good to see you again."
When the message ended, Jack turned on the light and sat down on the couch. A picture on the side table caught his eye and he reached out to pick it up. It was of Sara, Charlie, and himself. They were all over his home… these pictures. Daniel was right. Jack had never let go, and though he could never have Charlie back, he could have Sara. Picking up the phone, he dialed her number and waited, somewhat nervously, as the phone rang.
"Hello," her voice came over the phone and Jack nearly froze. "Hello," she said again.
"Sara," he finally managed to say.
"Hey," he began, leaning back against the couch. "How have you been?"
"Over the past several years? A little bit of everything. Right now, a little surprised, happily confused. Jack…"
"Why have I called… now?"
"Pretty much."
He chuckled. "I'm getting older… a little less bull-headed?"
"Oh, I doubt that," she responded with a laugh.
"True." He inhaled deeply and closed his eyes. It would hurt only for a moment. "Okay, how about this? I miss you."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Jack was fairly certain she was crying. "Sara," he said softly.
"I'm here," her reply was nearly a whisper. "I miss you too," she finally admitted.
A small smile spread across his face. "Do you think," he paused and nearly laughed at himself. He was about to ask his ex-wife out on a date. "Could I maybe come pick you up and take you to dinner?"
He heard a rustling on the other end of the phone and sat up a little. "Unless tonight isn't good for you."
"Oh no! I mean, tonight is fine. I just… well… I need to get ready."
"How about an hour? I need to change as well."
"Yeah. Hour's good. And Jack…"
"I'm glad you called." With that, she hung up the phone.
"Me too," he said softly.
The drive to Winter Park, Colorado took much longer this time than it had in the past. Anticipation maybe… lots of nerves for sure.
And their home… It was strange but in his eyes, this would always be their home. He turned off the truck and sat there for a moment, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time, before sliding out and heading up to the front door.
She opened the door just as he was preparing to knock. She hadn't changed much. Sara didn't prescribe to the same old addage that women had to keep men waiting. If she was ready, she met him at the door. "Want to come in?" she asked, standing aside.
"Sure," he nodded. He smiled lightly and presented her with the flowers he bought before driving up here. "I'm sure it's cliche', but I know how you like these."
He watched as she took the flowers, put them to her nose and inhaled deeply. "I'll just put them in some water."
He stepped inside and watched as she headed into the kitchen. The place hadn't changed in all the years he'd been away. This was still home to him. It looked and felt like home… his home… his wife. Why had he left? The pain? He sighed and moved further into the living room. Looking back, he should have stuck it out, worked it through instead of running from her. Their son was gone, but there was still love here. He bent over and picked up a picture. It was one of the two of them… at the lake. They had been so happy then.
"I couldn't bring myself to put them away," she said softly.
He put the picture down and offered her a smile. "I have them at my house too."
Her eyes opened a little wider and she sat down on the couch. "You do?"
Sitting down beside her, he had to fight the temptation to brush the stray hair from her eyes. There were other urges as well. Lord help him but he didn't want to go out to dinner now. Even though his stomach protested, he wanted to curl up with her on the couch, watch TV, drink coffee, and talk. Yeah, as surprising as it seemed, he just wanted to talk to her. He wanted to come home here every night, and just be with her.
"You're staring," Sara said softly, reaching out to touch his arm.
"I am," he agreed. "You're beautiful." Well, that didn't hurt at all.
Her face colored immediately and she dropped her head to look down at her lap. "Jack…"
He put his finger under her chin and lifted her face so that she had to look at him. He needed to see her as he said it. "It's true. You are, and I was the biggest kind of fool to walk out of this house…"
He moved his hand from her chin, letting her talk. If it was too much, too fast, he'd back off.
"I shouldn't have let you walk out. I should have fought, forced you to talk… something."
"You really think you could have forced me?" he asked, one brow raised in question and an amused grin on his face.
"Okay, no I couldn't." She gave him a smile in return.
"Sara, do you really want to go out? I was thinking we could stay in… talk…"
"Yeah. It's surprising, I know. But you see, I have this friend who likes to talk things to death."
"Wears on your patience, but you can't help but like him?"
"Exactly." He sat back on the couch and draped an arm around her shoulders. He wasn't surprised when she nestled in beside him. "He's sort of been nagging at me for the past seven years about talking. Still not great at it… but I'm better."
She nodded. "I'll have to thank this friend if I ever get to meet him."
"Daniel? Yeah, you'd like him."
"I"m not sure," she said softly.
Looking up at him, she clarified, "I meant, I'm not sure where we should start talking. Not that I'm not sure about Daniel. Anyone who can get you to talking is alright in my book."
"Oh geez, thanks," he quipped.
"Jack, don't change the topic by picking on me." She rested her hand gently on his abdomen.
All the muscles in his body tensed before he willed them to relax. This felt so good, so familiar… so right. "Can't blame me for trying. I honestly have no idea where to start."
"Then I will," she offered. At least, if she could open dialogue, maybe he'd follow along.
He shook his head. "No," he whispered, "I'll start."
It was difficult, but once he started talking, he couldn't stop. There were moments of laughter, moments of silence. There were a lot of tears. They held onto one another at certain times so tightly it hurt, and he knew Sara was shocked at the level of emotions he expressed during their talk. He couldn't do this with everyone. In fact, it was a very, very short list of two people that he could be this open with. One, he was holding tightly right now, and the other had pushed him back to her.
He lost track of time, in all honesty. He didn't get up to leave, and she didn't ask him to. Somewhere in the midst of all of it, he kissed her forehead. She kissed his cheek. Before either could think of consequences, they were kissing in earnest. But he didn't press her for more. They didn't move beyond that, not that he didn't want to and not that she didn't… but they needed to take their time with this. It had to be about more than sex. He wanted more than one night with her. As kissing returned to simply holding, he knew what he wanted most… he wanted everything.
"Leaving early again, Sir?"
Jack sighed. If the elevator had been just a smidge faster, he would have made it out without an incident. "It's 1800 hours, Lt. Colonel. I've been here since 0700. That's not leaving early."
"Sorry, Sir. It's just that you used…"
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. "Oh look, elevator." He gave her a smile. "See ya later, Carter." Jack waved as the doors closed. He just wasn't quite ready to talk to a bunch of people about this. Not that Carter was a 'bunch of people', but he just wasn't ready… yet. He watched the numbers as they clicked off and nearly swore when they stopped and the doors opened. The frustrated look was replaced by a smirk upon seeing his best friend. "Daniel," he greeted.
"Jack," was the archaeologist's response.
"Is there something?"
Daniel raised a brow in curiosity and looked around him. "Noooo… Should there be?"
"You tell me. Carter's thinking I'm shurking my responsibility."
"Oh she is not!" Daniel retorted. "She notices things and since you share nothing… unless coersed…"
"I do too share," Jack defended. "I just don't think I need to be here sixteen hours a day. Besides, all the paper pushing is done."
"Then you should go… home."
"I am… you know? Going home."
Daniel faced his friend, nodded, and then turned back to face the doors of the elevator.
"Just home isn't where it was before," Jack admitted to Daniel's back. It was much easier that way.
"For how long now?" Daniel asked. He was still facing forward, in case Jack needed the barrier for his own personal comfort.
"A couple weeks after I went over that first night. I started going over every night after work." Jack sighed.
Daniel took that as a cue to turn around and looked at his friend. "You okay?"
Jack nodded. "Fantastic really. I got clearance last week to tell her everything."
"How'd that go?"
Jack chuckled. "She swore I was a raving loon."
"You are."
"I am. She wants to meet you."
Daniel was nearly shocked at his friend's cheerful agreement to his smartass comments. Jack was definitely… well… happy. "Great. I'd love to meet her. I mean, I saw her that once but we didn't get to talk or anything."
"Daniel," Jack interrupted as the elevator stopped and he got out. He used his hand to hold open the door and said, "Saturday. Help me move, okay?"
"Sure. Want me to recruit Sam and Teal'c too?"
Jack nodded. See, now this was how Daniel was so helpful. If *he* told Carter and Teal'c about Sara and their reunion, then Jack didn't have to. "Extra hands would be good and Daniel…"
"Thanks." He moved his hand and let the doors slide closed. If it hadn't been for Daniel, he'd be going home to a cold house in Colorado Springs. Instead, he was driving to Winter Park and a warm home filled with love and second chances. He wasn't a man given to sentimentality, but to have Sara back… It filled a huge hole inside of him. He would forever love her and now he could share that with her. And who knew? Maybe sometime in the near future he could put his ring back on and there could be a Mrs. General O'Neill.
If working at the SGC and being friends with Daniel had taught him anything, it was that sometimes, you could go back again. Anything was possible.

History of St. Ann's Parish,
Upper Ferry,
Codroy Valley, Nfld.
The earliest records of St. Ann's Parish date to 1867. Father Alexis Belanger arrived at Sandy Point from the Magdelan Islands on Sept. 7, 1850. His first recorded visit to an area known as " Grand River " ( Codroy Valley ) was in 1867. He traveled by fishing boat, or on foot and snowshoes over the mountains and through the trees, as there were no roads connecting the areas. The people of Grand River had built a log structure to be used as a chapel on the shore of the Codroy River possibly at the request of a visiting priest or a French Navy Chaplain.
At the request of Father Belanger a Cape Breton Priest who spoke Gaelic traveled to the West Coast to give the parishioners who spoke Gaelic the opportunity to go to confession in their own language. Rev. Joseph Chisholem arrived in Grand River and records of baptism and marriages show he was here May through August of 1867.
On April 15, 1869, Rev. Thomas Sears of Ireland, ordained in Antigonish, arrived in Grand River. He was the first resident priest in the area. Rev. Sears was a very hard working man, he built the first roads a joining the communities, encouraged the people to engage in farming, introduced reading circles, introduces order and system into the baptized lives of his parishioners, and wrote articles in the St. John's Press to publicize the West Coast. Schools were built and teachers introduced to the area.
He erected his first church with a modest Glebe house on the bank of the present day site of the Chapel Green Cemetery in Great Codroy. This was destroyed by fire in 1878 and many church records and histories written by Rev. Sears were lost.
Over the years Msgr. Sears was accompanied by various missionary priests, only staying a few weeks or months at a time.
Msgr. Sears visited Channel-Port aux Basques on April 28, 1869 and said mass in the home of John Keating. He encouraged the little group at Channel to set about the work of a building. Rev. MH Howley celebrated the first mass in the new church of St. Michaels on Sept. 29, 1869. The blessing and christening of the bell of St. Michael's took place in 1886. St. Michael's was discontinued and taken down by Msgr. Andrew Sears in 1932. The materials and anything of value was given to Rev. John F Curran, Parish priest of St. Jacques Parish, Fortune Bay.

For Jane Austen lovers, this latest take on the Darcy clan offers an amusing addition to the literature of Regency London's mores.
Aston's previous Darcy novels (The Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alathea Darcy, not reviewed, etc.) concern the former Miss Bennett and Mr. Darcy's five daughters—this story takes on the exploits of a few cousins. At 19, Cassandra Darcy is in possession of rare beauty, a fine fortune and a very un-ladylike talent for painting. And though she has all she could ask for, she is under the thumb of her pious stepfather, Mr. Partington. Cassandra's future is thrown into doubt, though, when Henry Lisser, a German landscape painter brought in to paint the family estate, begins a flirtation with naughty cousin Belle. Everyone believes it was Cassandra kissing Lisser behind the bushes, and to save Belle's already shaky reputation, Cassandra agrees to go to Bath to reflect on her wickedness. While there, she falls in love with James Eyre, and the two run away to London. But when James halts the marriage plans to negotiate a rich dowry (and too late, passionate Cassandra has already slept with him!), she spurns James, and in turn becomes a social pariah. Enter dashing cousin Horatio Darcy, a lawyer representing her stepfather, to offer Cassandra two choices: Repair to the country and live a life of spinsterhood with the vile Mrs. Harris, or become destitute. Cassandra chooses to make her way in London as a portraitist, but during her first day of freedom makes a monumental error in judgment—she takes rooms with a procuress who intends to turn Cassandra into Lord Usborne's mistress. Cassandra escapes life in the demimonde with the help of her cousin Camilla, who, with the help of kind Mr. Lisser, sets Cassandra up with her own painting studio. Austenites may balk at this racy, wholly 21st-century reinvention of Austen (Lord Frederick has an eye for men, our teen heroine is no virgin and Aston's feminist motifs are a bit heavy handed), but all in all, much enjoyment can be had from Cassandra's attempts to find love and artistic happiness.
Light historical romance with the benefit of a sterling pedigree.

September 14, 2017
A few months back, we announced our million dollar AI for Everyone challenge. Our goal was to award researchers, academics, and, non-profits who wanted to make a real difference in the world with artificial intelligence. Dozens of submissions later, we're thrilled to introduce our first two winners: KivaFaces and DeepCell.
Now, we'll be getting into each of these projects in fuller detail next week, but we wanted to give you a high-level look at what these teams will be doing over the next year. Let's start with KivaFaces.
Kiva, as you may know, is a micro-lending platform focused on alleviating poverty. Borrowers from over 80 countries ask for loans covering everything from shelter and education to farming implements and food and lenders loan–not donate–the money to help. Over a billion dollars has moved through Kiva since their launch roughly a decade ago and they've funded well over a million loans.
So where's the AI come in? Well, part of the Kiva process is that a borrower uploads a picture of his or herself. This process has created a rather immense store of diverse borrower images from around every corner of the globe. But if you run typical facial recognition algorithms on these images, the reality is, they'll miss a lot of these people. As in, those models simply don't see the borrowers the people. They don't recognize them. That's because, primarily, these models are trained on more homogenious (namely first-world) datasets.
Melissa Fabros's KivaFaces project is looking to change that. They'll be annotating these images through CrowdFlower in order to create a dataset to train more inclusive algorithms. It will also help Kiva itself approve loans more quickly so that lenders around the world can get helping faster.
DeepCell is another computer vision focused on people. Except DeepCell, as you might guess from the name, is concerned not with faces, but microscopic images.
Disease researchers spend of lot of their time looking over cellular images. They follow individual cells or groups of cells, analyzing their behavior over time to evaluate how a disease works, the efficacy of potential cures for a disease, or a whole host of other important factors.
This is time-consuming work. But DeepCell's founder David Van Valen has already demonstrated that AI and deep learning systems can speed up this analysis. The problem is there simply isn't enough quality data to use. And that's where CrowdFlower will come in. DeepCell is looking to annotate cellular images to create a library of training data that can be used to perform experiments and analysis and, hopefully, help researchers make important discoveries about disease behavior.
We're thrilled with both AI for Everyone winners and will be enthusiastically sharing their progress over the next year. Both KivaFaces and DeepCell will get full access to our platform, $25,000 in contributor costs, and CrowdFlower support from start to finish. And, since this is called AI for Everyone, rest assured these datasets will be available when they're labeled and annotated.
While they're our inaugural winners, they won't be the only ones. In fact, we're hosting a quarterly AI for Everyone Challenge. If you're a researcher, academic, or non-profit interested in leveraging AI to improve the world, you can apply here for consideration. If you're applying, please keep in mind that while both KivaFaces and DeepCell were computer vision projects, those aren't the only initiatives we support.

Michelle Yeoh attended the Rome Film Festival premiere of 'The Lady' back in October wearing a Valentino Resort 2012 embroidered gown with a croc clutch.
Green bangles and a green watch complemented the emerald stones in her earrings as she styled her hair into a side-swept bun to finish the look.
Elizabeth Olsen opted for a retro look inspired by the stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood when she wore the same dress earlier this week to the 21st annual Gotham Independent Film awards in New York City.
The young actress sported a curly updo and accessorised with a blush satin clutch and Kwiat jewels.
The graceful Elizabeth wins for me.
Michelle over accessorised and her green watch and bangles really felt out of place with her overall look.

FALQs to help you with Standard Employment Contracts
- How does the Cleardocs Employment Contract work in a workplace in which an industrial agreement is in place?
- Is the Cleardocs interface suitable if there is an industrial agreement in place?
- Advantages: an employment contract can cover matters not included in the industrial agreement
- What to be careful of
- The Cleardocs HR Manual supports the Cleardocs Employment Contract
- Definitions: consultant or employee?
- What is a "replacement employee"?
How does the Cleardocs Employment Contract work in a workplace in which an industrial agreement is in place?
If there is an industrial agreement (for example, an enterprise agreement or a collective agreement) in place at your workplace, then the employer must comply both:
- with the agreement;
- and with the terms of any contract of employment (whether the contract is written or oral).
Is the Cleardocs interface suitable if there is an industrial agreement in place?
The online interface you use when ordering a Cleardocs Standard Employment Contract takes into account that an industrial agreement may also apply in a workplace. The interface asks you whether the employee is covered by an industrial agreement and it prompts you to answer the relevant interface questions in light of that industrial agreement.
There are advantages to having both documents, and things to be careful of, see below.
Advantages: an employment contract can cover matters not included in the industrial agreement
In workplaces with an industrial agreement, it can be useful to arrange written employment contracts that deal with matters that the industrial agreement is not likely to cover — for example:
- a requirement for the employee to protect, and not exploit, the employer's confidential information — including customer lists etc.;
- the employee's probationary period;
- requirements for the employee to hold a membership, qualification, or license; and
- an agreement that the employer owns any intellectual property the employee develops as part of their employment.
The Cleardocs Standard Employment Contract deals with these matters, and many more.
The industrial instrument may also include terms specific to an industry or workplace, that are not included in the employment contract. You must still comply with those terms, even if they are not included in the employment contract.
What to be careful of
When making sure that an employee specific employment contract will work successfully for an employee covered by an industrial agreement, it is essential that the employee's contract does not undercut the employee's rights and entitlements under the industrial agreement. For example, if an industrial agreement requires the employer to give the employee a 6 week notice period for termination, then the employment contract should require that notice period to be at least 6 weeks.
If there is a difference in entitlements between the contract and the industrial agreement, then the employee will be entitled to whichever entitlement is more beneficial.
You need to be aware that if an employer replicates the terms of an industrial agreement in its answers to the interface questions, then the employer will give those terms contractual force. This means that if the employer does not comply with an obligation in the contract, then the employer will breach the contract term, as well as breaching the industrial instrument. In that case, among other things, the employee will be able:
- to claim damages for the breach of the contract term; and
- seek the imposition of fines on the employer; and
- seek to recover underpayments for breach of the industrial instrument.
The Cleardocs HR Manual supports the Cleardocs Employment Contract
The Cleardocs Standard Employment Contract can be supported by the Cleardocs HR Policies and Procedures Manual — you can read about the HR Manual. The Manual is not contractually binding and can support the contract and the industrial agreement.
Definitions: consultant or employee?
Whether a person is a consultant or an employee depends on what happens in practice, and not the label the parties put on their relationship.
Anyone who engages a consultant (or contractor) needs to make sure the person is engaged as, and is treated as, a proper consultant — otherwise there is a risk that the law may treat them as an employee. In that case:
- the "consultant" has all the normal employee rights — for example, unfair dismissal protection, entitlements to leave and so on;
- the Agreement may be found to be a sham contracting arrangement.
If the employee's rights are breached or the Agreement is a sham contract (or both), then the Fair Work Ombudsman (or, if the Principal is in
the building or construction industry, the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner) may seek to have the employee compensated, plus
have penalties imposed on the Principal. Penalties of $33,000 apply for each breach of the Fair Work Act 2009 by a company.
In addition, if the so called Consultant is legally an employee, then the Principal should have:
- made PAYG deductions from the so called "consultant's" "pay"; and
- contributed to a superannuation fund on behalf of the employee.
If those deductions and contributions had not been made, then the Australian Tax Office could seek to recover the amounts plus interest and penalties.
The legal test
To determine whether an individual is an employee or a consultant, the law looks at the whole relationship between the consultant and the Principal/employer. The essential questions are:
- whether the supposed consultant is in the service of the Principal/employer; or
- whether the supposed consultant carries on a trade or business on their own behalf.
The table below sets out the types of factors that help determine whether or not the supposed consultant is an employee. There is no one single factor that determines the answer — extra weight may be given to particular factors depending on the circumstances.
Factors to consider
Whether the supposed consultant either provided an Australian Business Number (ABN) or operates through a company which is paid on invoice
Whether the supposed consultant provides skilled labour, or labour which requires special qualifications — so that it is up to supposed consultant how the job is done, so long as the contracted "result" is achieved
Whether the supposed consultant performs work for others
Whether the supposed consultant has the opportunity to generate goodwill for themselves and their business
Whether the supposed consultant maintains a separate place of work and advertises his or her services
Whether the supposed consultant can choose to perform the work offered by the employer/principal, or not
Whether the supposed consultant has the right to delegate, subcontract, substitute or employ others
Whether the employer/principal has the right to exercise control over the work the supposed consultant does
Whether the parties intended to create an employment relationship
Whether the supposed consultant is paid wages
Whether the supposed consultant is paid a contract price on invoice
Whether the supposed consultant is entitled to leave such as annual leave, long service leave, and personal leave
Whether the employer/principal has the right to suspend or dismiss the supposed consultant
Whether the employer/principal provides tools, equipment and materials
Whether the employer/rincipal provides uniforms
Whether the supposed onsultant works a set number of hours or a pattern of hours under a roster
Whether the employer/principal is responsible for workers' compensation insurance or superannuation payments for the supposed consultant *
Whether the employer/principal deduct income tax from payments to the supposed consultant
Whether the supposed consultant represented to others as part of the employer/principal's business
*Some legislation deems a supposed consultant to be a worker or employee for specific purposes — even if the parties have agreed otherwise. Examples of this include:
- An individual may be deemed to be a worker under, and for the purposes of, workers' compensation legislation. That legislation may require a principal to take certain steps regarding workers' compensation insurance.
- A principal may be required to make superannuation payments if the superannuation legislation deems the individual to be an employee.
In those situations, you can still use this Agreement, but the Principal will need to make workers' compensation and superannuation contributions for the Consultant. The Agreement allows the Principal to deduct the relevant amounts from the Consultant's fee.
For more information about when an individual is covered, contact:
- your workers' compensation insurer or the workers' compensation authority in your State or Territory; or
- the Australian Taxation Office on 13 72 26
Or, you can contact Cleardocs on 1300 307 343 to arrange advice from Maddocks Lawyers for a fee.
What is a "replacement employee"?
Replacement employees are employees who are temporarily replacing employees on parental leave.

Prototype HP-01 calculator watch at eBay can be yours for £9,000
Shiny, but pricey
A STAINLESS STEEL calculator watch prototype from 1977 can be yours at eBay for just $14,500.
The watch, which is huge and shiny and presumably heavy, is a prototype of the infamous HP-01 calculator watch, a space age piece of kit that came out when Star Wars was big and sideburns were bigger.
The prototype of the watch has appeared on eBay in a private listing. The calculator wrist weight has a Buy It Now price of $14,500 and we would not be surprised if someone hasn't already offered that.
The prototype is unique and does not need much introduction, but the eBay listing includes a good whack of details.
"Here we have a stainless steel high glossy HP-01 calculator watch prototype from 1977 in unparalleled cosmetic and working condition. Untouched since 37 years. This is a prototype of the model 1A-007 which has never been released," says the enthusiastic listing.
"There isn't any serial number or date of manufacture on the case back. Unworn and original HP-01 watches are very hard to find nowadays since most of them are worn down and [defective] after almost 40 years."
When we checked it the eBay listing was getting about 70 visits an hour. At the time of writing it is still available and has a good few days to go.
The watch presently resides in Spain. If you want to have it sent out of that country you will have to pay $175 in shipping fees and probably some import tax. Tempted, ready and willing to buy, but confused by the figures? It looks like you might need a calculator watch. µ

Hard Cider 2007
I got some pals of mine to go in on a large batch of hard cider. Originally I was only gonna make 1 gallon of the stuff, but enough requests rolled in.
This was gonna be more of a communal thing, and I was going to have them bring by "their" jug of juice to toss in the carboy. But since I've got a busy season of brewing this Fall and Winter, I couldn't delay.
To simulate the combination of different juices coming from different people, I simply grabbed 3 different jugs of pure unfiltered apple juice. One organic apple blend and one organic gravenstien from Whole Foods, and 1.5 gallons of fresh apple cider from Trader Joe's. I've heard that blending apples for hard cider makes it come out better, so I hope this blend works well.
I had some Wyeast 1056 American Ale yeast laying around for about 2 months just waiting for an opportunity like this. My friends over at the Brew & Grow also highly recommend using this yeast for ciders. A half gallon start was made, and the yeast took off right away.
I added some brown and white sugar to lend a fuller flavor. Adding the juice from one lemon will add some acidity for fermentation and aid in the final product. I was also thinking of adding a little ginger for an interesting tang, and some spice for spiciness, but since this is my first, I'll keep it simple.
All I did was dissolve about 2 cups of brown sugar and about 2 cups of white sugar into 1 gallon of TJ's Apple Cider and rose it to about 160 for about 30 minutes or so. Then cooled it. Then poured it into the carboy along with two more gallons of organic apple juice.
Brewed on 9/28/07
Winding down but still fizzing on 10/8
Racked: Just primary
Bottled: 10/23/07

MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL VOLCANIC MONUMENT (Reuters) - Mount St. Helens spewed steam and gray ash from a small explosive eruption in its crater on Friday, as the volcano in Washington state awoke from its slumber for the first time in nearly two decades.
Webmaster Update - October 18, 2004 at 8:16 am PDT - There is no need to contact us about the current image. The VolcanoCam is operating just fine. Typical autumn weather has arrived in the Pacific Northwest. You can expect ground fog, rain and/or clouds to obsure the VolcanoCam view of Mount St. Helens.

Thanks to all who visited me at the Torrington Library tent last night at Main Street Marketplace. I met a lot of great people, played some fun card games and even sold a bunch of autographed copies of "Queens are Wild." The jazz band was fantastic, too. Special thanks to Jess and the library crew, as well as my new readers: Dave, Brianna, Katie, David, Debra, Jon and Aubrey! Brianna gets a special shout-out for actually reading "Queens" while she was walking around at the event. "I love it. I'm on Chapter 3 already!" she reported.
I'm already looking forward to returning to the Marketplace on Aug. 22 at the Republican-American tent with fellow authors Michael Dooling, Tracey O'Shaughnessy, Alan Bisbort and Bill Dunn. Also, thanks to colleague Jim Shannon for snapping the above photo.

Beauty and the Bridge: a new exhibition
Using the Bridge as artistic stimuli and exploring the themes of appearance and disguise, Tower Bridge's inaugural Artist in Residence, Alex Evans, presents 'Beauty and the Bridge', a new exhibition of works created in response to an internationally recognised symbol of London and incredible feat of Victorian engineering.
Launching on 17 July and running until Autumn 2017, artist Alex Evans's densely intricate pen and ink drawings use mathematic traditions to explore the relationship between architecture, geometry and nature. His new work will be displayed inside the Bridge's South Tower and consists of 2D contour drawings, digital print making, and 3D pieces using mirrors, silk and Portland stone (one of the key materials used in the construction of the Bridge).
A central component of the Residency was the artist's engagement with families, schools and the local community. Working closely with Tower Bridge's Learning Team and drawing on his strong educational experience, Alex has led a series of dynamic, interactive and thoughtprovoking workshops with children aged 7 to 10 years old from the Boutcher Primary School in Southwark.
By exploring the unique architectural qualities of Tower Bridge through drawing, collage and photography, the children produced a series of kaleidoscopic visions, which will be on display in the West Walkway as part of this exhibition. These playful artworks share an engaging vision of Tower Bridge as seen through the eyes of young Londoners.

Its the long weekend in wintery Sydney and punters flocked to the clubs in droves to seek shelter from the chills and of course, any excuse to party. I began my career photographing party-goers at bars, clubs and festivals and although I now spend most of the time shooting weddings and corporate conventions, I find remarkable commonalities amongst them.
Afterall, weddings are really just a convention of the couple's closest friends and relatives gathered together to witness their declaration of love for each other followed by a party with the merry congregation at the reception!

TITLE: An Enchantment of Ravens
AUTHOR: Margaret Rogerson
GENRE: fantasy, romance
PLOT SUMMARY: Isobel is a painter, which makes her highly coveted by the fair folk. The fair folk can't create Craft, be it paintings, writing, or even food, without crumbling into dust, so artists such as Isobel are highly prized. After taking on her first royal patron, Rook, prince of the autumn court, however, Isobel gets herself into a bigger mess than she can imagine. When Isobel paints genuine emotion in Rook's portrait -- a weakness that could cost him his throne -- he spirits her away to the world of the fair folk so she can stand trial. However, there are forces at play much greater than Isobel or Rook anticipated, and the two are forced to work together for their own survival.
FIRST THOUGHTS: I bought this book for two reasons. One: Regan of PeruseProject spoke highly of it. (Hi, Regan, if you're reading this! Big fan!) Two: The cover is simply beautiful. Buying books based on the cover art or based on another review has backfired on me before, so I really wasn't sure how it'd work out for me this time. However, I'm happy to report that it turned out great! I've always loved stories focusing on fairies, and I especially enjoyed this book's unique lore and worldbuilding. It did take me longer than usual to get through this book (thank you, finals season), but I enjoyed every page.
THOUGHTS ON PLOT: I don't normally enjoy books that are primarily romance-based, but this proved to be an exception. I was especially surprised by how much I enjoyed the book's Forbidden Love™ aspect, since in most YA books, it comes off as lame and forced. But it didn't in this case; Rook and Isobel being together will cause actual problems, far greater than pissing a few people off. The stakes are high, and that's what makes the book work. "Star-crossed lovers" stories are only compelling if there are real reasons why they can't be together. I also really enjoyed the story's focus on the politics on the fairy world, and the road trip Rook and Isobel take through the enchanted forest. I wasn't expecting the plot to go the direction it ended up in, but I really liked it.
7 / 10
THOUGHTS ON CHARACTERS: Isobel is a mixed bag as a protagonist. There's a lot to like about her -- she's smart, self-assured, and noble. However, she's also very lowkey, which isn't bad in itself, but it means that she does get overshadowed by the other characters. I really liked Rook -- when I read the book's synopsis, I expected him to be the aloof asshole love interest that YA uses so often, but he wasn't like that at all. Haughty, sure, but in a clueless, ridiculous way, rather than an annoying emo way. I just really liked how genuinely nice he is, a couple stress-induced outbursts aside. The side characters in this book were also lovely, especially Gadlfy, one of Isobel's eclectic patrons, and Aster, who's surprisingly complex and sympathetic for her limited pagetime.
7 / 10
THOUGHTS ON WRITING STYLE: By far this book's strongest aspect is its prose. The writing and narration are simply beautiful. It reminded me a bit of Laini Taylor's works, especially with the descriptions of the world and Isobel's paintings. I also really enjoyed the worldbuilding and the way the "rules" of this universe were established. It never felt infodumpy, but you were always given enough background to know what was happening, which isn't always easy, especially since our protagonist grew up in this world, and isn't learning as she goes. I've never read anything by Rogerson before, but I'm definitely interested in checking out anything else she's put out, especially any other fantasy.
8 / 10
THOUGHTS ON POLITICAL STUFF: Like many books, this is an example of a story that isn't politically offensive... but it's also not progressive. There are no POC or queer characters in the story, which is disappointingly common in YA fantasy. (Seriously, though -- what is it about fantasy that makes people completely skimp on the diversity department? You can have dragons and fairies and witches, but not gay or black people?) It's not bad, politically speaking, but it's not good. Books like Six of Crows, The Hearts We Sold, and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue have really raised the bar when it comes to diversity in YA fiction and fantasy, and I hope that more books will meet it in the future.
4 / 10
FINAL THOUGHTS: This was a delightful little book. While I can't make any promises at the moment, it's definitely a contender for my upcoming "best of 2017" list. Is it perfect? No, but no book is. I still enjoyed every page, and I think you will, too. I believe it's going to be a standalone, but honestly, I would welcome more stories set in this world. If you like fantasy, road trip stories, or forbidden romances, I'd recommend you check it out.

We are supporting trials in lymphoma that will deliver improvements to people living with this blood cancer.
A trial in Burkitt's lymphoma is comparing the standard chemotherapy with a new chemotherapy schedule, which could have less side effects, and it can be given in an outpatient setting with hospital visits rather than an hospital stay.
Our diffuse large B-cell lymphoma trials are looking for new ways to treat people who have not responded to the standard treatment of chemotherapy and antibody therapy.
Two peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) trials are testing new treatments for peopl who have not responded to chemotherapy, or who have relapsed after treatment.
We also have a Hodgkin lymphoma trial that wants to individually tailor treatment for each child, effectively treating the disease, but avoiding over-treatment and thereby reducing the late side-effects. And we have a trial which is looking a targeted biological therapy called brentuximab vedotin in adults with Hodgkin lymphoma who are unable to have standard chemotherapy.
And we have trials that want to improve the outcome for people with rarer lymphomas, such as peripheral central nervous system (PCNS) lymphoma, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD).

A handful of Republicans senators have already come out against the bill in its current form, and with so little time to make amendments and so many voices in opposition, the BCRA might not make it to Trump's desk. One thing that the Senate bill did, they tried to rewrite the way the tax credits work to help people purchase coverage. "The bill that's before the Senate doesn't meet that test".
"We need to improve the Affordable Care Act rather than replace it with failed strategies that the rest of the world has moved on", he said. To explain, insurers can not outright deny coverage to someone with a preexisting condition, but if states remove mandatory coverage for certain conditions or coverage options, the exponential increase in costs or premiums makes coverage prohibitive.
Senate Republicans released the long-anticipated bill Thursday after weeks of closed-door meetings searching for middle ground between conservative and centrist senators in an effort to make good on promises to dismantle former President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
A Congressional Budget Office analysis found that the House bill would add about 23 million Americans to the ranks of the uninsured. Until then, CNNMoney lays out how the plan would affect Americans. Like its counterpart in the House, the Senate plan would lower premiums for younger Americans by allowing insurers to charge older enrollees more. An estimated 17 million to 20 million people have individual policies.
His company was not one of the 10 that wrote to the Senate leaders, but he said Friday that he was also opposed to the bill.
Cuomo called the legislation "inhumane" and said NY would maintain requirements for insurers to cover 10 essential health benefits in their plans.
Cassidy's concerns have critics of the Senate bill hoping they can persuade him to oppose the proposal. Sen.
Red Bull take top two spots in Azerbaijan practice
Meanwhile, French driver Romain Grosjean was slowest and ranted constantly about brake trouble in his Haas vehicle . However with the session all but over the youngster made a mistake at Turn 1 and went sideways into the barriers.
The wealthy would pay less in taxes. If the federal government caps its Medicaid contributions, medical care for more than 1 million children on Medicaid in Pennsylvania will suffer, because their needs will be forced to compete with the needs of the disabled, elderly and parents, children's groups said. The program is run by the states, which split the costs with the federal government roughly evenly. Aiming to stabilize the individual market in the near term, the Senate would allocate funds for the cost sharing subsidies until 2019. Both chambers would have to agree on details for the bill to be sent to President Donald Trump. The uncertainty surrounding the payments is prompting some carriers to hike rates for 2018 or drop out of the exchanges. "They will have much higher deductibles than they are used to seeing".
The problem our country has is how to help people who are in the lowest economic straits, who have the most health challenges, get access to affordable coverage and, indeed, get well. Under Obamacare, these subsidies are tied to the mid-range "silver"-rated plans".
In 2017, the average deductible for a silver plan is just under $3,600, according to Health Pocket, an insurance shopping site.
Fair to say there isn't anything you like in this new plan?
This month, the US Food and Drug Administration said that drugmaker Endo Pharmaceuticals must remove the opioid painkiller Opana ER from the market.
Casey, who is running for re-election for a third term next year, warned that it could also mean coverage losses for people with employer-sponsored insurance, in addition to those covered by Pennsylvania's $30 billion Medicaid program, a federal-state partnership. The enhanced federal financing that pays for the expansion would disappear entirely in 2024. Walker has rejected almost $700 million in federal Medicaid expansion money while creating a system that covers everyone at or below poverty level. They could cut benefits. "We will continue to take regulatory steps when we see situations where an opioid product's risks outweigh its benefits", FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a Trump appointee, said after the announcement.
"My son's policy went from fifty dollars to nearly three hundred dollars".

I'm patiently waiting (sometimes not so patiently!) for the editor to finish with my book. It feels like it's taking forever, but I'm been reassured by people who've been there that these things take time. So because I can't wait, and I want you to be as excited as I am, I'm posting a teaser.
This is Christopher's story. He has a new carm and is taking Alexandra to a picnic to meet the family.
Here it is:
I tooted the horn on my three month old 1974 cherry red Porsche 911, and waited. Finally, Alex slipped out of the front door and hopped into my car.
"I thought you changed your mind and were staying home," I said.
"Never!" she said, putting the picnic basket behind the seat and slamming the door.
"Ouch, take it easy. She's still new."
"Sometimes I think you love her more than me."
"Never happen. You're my favorite human, and she's my favorite car. No comparison. Love you both. And you both love me, don't you, Cherry baby?" I patted the dashboard.
"Sick," she said with a shake of the head, ponytail flying. "Just sick."
"Don't pay attention to her, Cherry baby. She's a little bit jealous."
Alex laughed, leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm so happy you asked me to come along."
"Like I'd go without you. I never go anywhere without you, and you know it."
"But…your family reunion. I've seen them here and there but not all in one place." "You know not to pay any attention to my dad if he says anything rude?"
"Yes, dear. I remember. I won't mind him. Glad you take after your mom."

Activision Labels
Below are the various Activision variations. We are showing you samples of scans so you can better understand what you
are looking for. We're starting with labels and sometime in the future will add boxes.
Above is a sample of one of the titles where detailed color was added to the screenshot of the standard label release.
Other titles that had this variation are Barnstorming, Fishing Derby, Grand Prix, and Kaboom. Some of the international releases
also have colored screenshots.
Above is the -04 versions. We are showing you the blue, white, and black label text versions. Note that each has a product
number in the bottom right corner of the main label. Salu versions of Activision titles, with the white label, do not have
the product number, and are not considered Activision variations.
The variation above I believe only occurs in 4 titles. These are English/French versions. The titles are Boxing,
Ice Hocky, Skiing, and Tennis. I'm showing both the regular version and English/French version of Skiing. The English/French
versions are Canadian, and the product number starts with CAG or CAX.
Above we show 3 different versions of International labels. The first has "International Edition" on the main label,
but is entirely in English. These always have product numbers that begin PAG/PAX. The middle one also has "International Edition"
on the main label, but the label has 5 different languages. These always have product numbers that begin EAG/EAX. Oink
on the right is also a 5 language label, but does not say "International Edition" on the main label. This version also always
begins with EAG/EAX.
