A Taxonomy of European Labour Markets Using Quality Indicators
The report proposes a critical approach of European job quality indicators. It relies on both theoreti-cal and empirical analysis, and shows the necessity to introduce complementary variables, such as wages, working conditions and training duration. Comparative results for the EU 27 confirm the heterogeneity of job quality across Europe. Besides, time series analysis shows an upward trend of job quality in Europe since 1994, with a few exceptions. On the whole empirical investigations do not reveal any trade off between quantitative performances and job quality levels.

Opening up a load-bearing wall. Do I need a structural engineer?
Hello everyone. We are soon to begin renovation of a 1925 craftsman style house that we recently purchased. The first order of business is to demolish the existing kitchen which dates from 1968 and as part of that process we would like to remove entirely a wall between the kitchen and a "breakfast room" and to widen a doorway significantly between the kitchen and the dining room.
We have hired a modestly sized but well regarded building firm to handle this part of the renovation as well as some other parts that I'm not willing to undertake myself. The question I have for all of you is, if the firm I hired does not have a structural engineer, should I hire an independent structural engineer to come in and have a look even if the contractor says that I don't need to?
Some additional information regarding the house. The first floor has two load bearing walls: the one between the living room and the dining room, which is supported by a steel beam in the basement, and the wall between the kitchen and the dining room which is supported by a foundation wall. The kitchen is over a crawl space and the lower part, a former garage. Floor joists run east/west, obviously. The house has a second floor. A bathroom is being added on the second floor against the north wall that will straddle the point where the load bearing wall is. The ridge of the room runs north south. The roof itself is somewhat structurally weak, having a number of unsistered common rafters
A diagram of the proposed changes is included below with the walls being taken out marked in red. The wall that runs horizontally I would like to take out entirely. It DOES sit on a foundation wall but it runs parallel to the joists. The opened up spans of the north/south opening and east/west opening would be 11'4" 12'2", respectively.
Again, all I'm looking for is whether I should get a structural engineer in. Maybe this is something that a 40 person contracting firm handles all the time and is perfectly competent to engineer, or not, I have no idea. That's why I'm asking. And yes, I'm going to ask the firm I hired if they can handle it...I just want to be sure that I don't need a second opinion.
Thanks for your advice.
The answer would be yes.
In the UK it would be essential as we have things called building regulations, these require such a change to be notified to the council who will inspect and check the calculations for the supporting lintel and walls (a key part!). You wont get sign off without a structural engineers calcs here.
On a broader note, there is the issue of buildings insurance, if the structual changes have been correctly worked out (and a structual engineer is suitably qualified) then you would have no issues (or would at least have a route for comeback) because the person who has done the calculations can prove compitence.
My advice, pay a structual engineer to calc and specify the changes, it will be money well spent.
As a civil/structural engineer, I generally do not disagree with advice to hire a structural engineer. However, in this case it may not be necessary. If the contractor either has on staff a structural engineer, or more likely consults with a structural engineer they regularly use, they are fully capable of sizing and installing the required beams. Their liability will be covered both by their own insurance (of course you are going to verify that they have insurance), and by the practice liability insurance of their engineer (you are going to verify that the engineer has design insurance).
If the contractor does not have an engineer on staff (likely), and they are planning to design the beam themselves, that would be trouble, because in most jurisdictions you are not going to get a building permit without a stamped plan (you are going to get a building permit, correct?). Only the building inspector can tell you whether a licensed professional is required for the design of a structural beam, but in Washington DC I am guessing the answer is yes. If the contractor assures you that they are perfectly capable of designing the beam without an engineer, I would be extremely cautious, because the contractor's insurance is not going to cover the design, and you could run into trouble down the road on a wide range of issues.
This discussion has nothing to do with the capability of the construction company to design the beam. They may well be fully capable of doing so, however the way the game is played, they are probably going to need a stamped plan, and it is in your best interests to make sure the required process is followed.
Daniel thank you very much. That is exactly the information I was looking for. I am most appreciative.

Kev's thread has some nice pics and descriptions of this plant.
Does anyone know what parts are eatable or poisonious? The nutritional value of it? Medical uses? Any thing else that a survivalist would want to know?
The only thing I know about it is you can sometimes suck the nectar out of it and it is sweet but that to me is more trouble than it is worth if you are doing it for survival purposes.
Well, three things....
First, this picture is of a tree, the most common honeysuckle with the edible nectar is a vine.
Next, this is why the scientific name of a plant is so important. The common name for the plant Kev put up could be "wild honeysuckle" but it might be an azalea, Rhododendron canescens, a different family which is toxic (he hasn't ID it yet for us.) My guess is it is a Lonicera maackii, (bush honeysuckle or amur honeysuckle) which is not reported edible either. I personally don't know. It's sometimes hard to ID some trees from pictures because in species that have similar blossom one looks at the bark, leaf shape and location to help identification.) The honeysuckle vine (Lonicera japonica) has some edible nectar, and the Japanese use the leaves for tea. The only honeysuckle I know that has good tasting edible fruit is Lonicera villosa, which grows throughout North American. There may be more but that is the only one I know of.
Third... the honeysuckle family sits on the cusp of edibility/toxicity, the berries of some North American species are edible and others lean towards toxic. European version are usually poisonous. The bark of Lonicera however, will make you throw up if you need to and reportedly an expectorant and a laxative can be made from the Loniceras.

Michigan hasn't been in on Ahmir Mitchell long but they wasted little time letting the two-way athlete know he is a priority.
"It caught me by surprise. I'm grateful for another opportunity to pick up an offer. They liked me, probably physically how I looked, and it just happened."
"I still have to do a little bit of research and study them. As I sit down with my mom and probably talk to my brother about schools I'll get some answers. We'll do some looking into things."
What knowledge of the Maize & Blue Mitchell does have comes from what he has seen on television and his phone interaction with his Michigan recruiter Dan Ferrigno.
"He's a cool guy… pretty laid back," said Mitchell. "He's easy to talk to and can make light of the situation, but can get serious when it is time to get down with the game plan. That's what I like about him mostly thus far based on first impression."
One of their major topics of discussion thus far was position. Michigan covets Mitchell for a different role than most of his other suitors.
"I'm mainly being recruited for wide receiver, but some schools like me at safety," he explained. "Michigan just offered me to be a DB. I do not have any preferences. I just love being around the game and playing football."
That much is clear in the first few minutes of Mitchell's highlight film. The 6-3, 190-pounder is a big play machine at quarterback, running back, receiver, and defensive back.
"Things went well," Mitchell said reflecting upon last season. "We came out with a conference championship. We did not go as far as in the playoffs of since course we didn't make it to the final game. But I feel like that we put a lot on film and we worked together as a team.
"As for me… I'm physical… very physical. I'm versatile with how I move around the football field. I would say they're no limits to me being on the football field. I can lay numerous positions."
As was previously stated, Mitchell has no positional preference. There are other criteria that will factor greater in his decision-making process.
"(One major consideration will be) probably how long in a relationship I've been with the coaches over time who have stayed (at the same schools). Coaches ended up other places later on in (the recruiting process) the last couple of years. Whoever is currently with the same school that they recruited me from would probably benefit a little bit. The relationship that I've built over time and showing how genuine they are to me (will be a factor. And of course academics… which schools are leading the country in that field."
One consideration not mentioned was his brother's presence at Arkansas. According to Mitchell that is for a very good reason.
"It is not something that is going to factor into my process, but that is by us being talented and gifted, something that we've mentioned (before)," he said. "Kind of how Eli Manning's brother is in the league and then you have Barber brothers. How would it be to enjoy one or two years at college. It would be pretty neat, but not trying to let it affect my decision too much. He is redshirted and he is doing good things out there. That's pretty much it."
With such an open-minded approach it shouldn't come as any surprise that the four-star talent currently lists no favorites among his growing list of suitors.
"I'm just trying to enjoy my high school career and not let this affect me any," Mitchell stated. "Like I said before it's a blessing to know that I can further my football career after high school career."
"I watched my brother go through it and by him being committed to one school, I had another school come in and LSU offered me and they pretty much told me that they were going to recruit him, but he was already committed. So why waste your time trying to flip another kid when you can go around the country and find another kid with the same skill set? I'm not going to make an early decision and stick with the process and wait until my senior year."

NHIAA Baseball Preview: Target is aimed squarely at Londonderry
Opposing baseball coaches are calling Londonderry High School the team to beat in Division I this season, but the Lancers know how meaningless being the favorite can be.
Londonderry was the No. 1 seed for last year's Division I tournament, but No. 11 Exeter upset the Lancers, 3-2, in the Division I championship game.
"In terms of how people look at us ... we were the No. 1 team last year and look what happened," Londonderry coach Brent Demas said. "I think the returning players on this team are drawing a lot of motivation from last year. The sour experience of last year is sticking with these guys and it's driving them."
There are plenty of familiar names on the Londonderry roster. The Lancers returned two of the best pitchers in the state - left-hander Rob Del Signore and right-hander Tom Corey - and six starting position players from the 2013 team.
"The bullseye is on Londonderry," Alvirne coach Mike Lee said. "They're definitely the team to chase. Head and shoulders above the rest."
Del Signore, who will play for Division II Southern New Hampshire University next season, was 6-0 with two saves and a 0.81 ERA last spring. Corey, who is headed to Division II Franklin Pierce, was 6-3 with one save and a 1.07 ERA a year ago.
Del Signore will be at first base when he's not on the mound. He hit .384 with a team-high 21 RBIs last season. The other returning starters are catcher Colby Joncas (.367), second baseman Mike Ryan (.343), third baseman Jeff Kayo (.293), center fielder Zach Tavano (.286) and right fielder Brett Evangelista (.300). Evangelista led the team with 21 stolen bases last spring.
"We do have a lot coming back, and we played well last year," Demas said. "Experience is the strength of the team. We also have some young kids who are showing a lot of potential and they're learning from a great group of guys. We're going to be really competitive."
Portsmouth has won five of the last six Division II titles, but may not posses the dominant pitching it's had in recent years. Pitcher Rick Holt, who helped Portsmouth beat Goffstown in last year's Division II championship game, is now playing football at the University of New Hampshire.
Goffstown coach Adam Lawrence said Windham, which lost to Portsmouth in last year's semifinals, is the preseason favorite. Windham's Adam Dolan, a Division II All-State selection last year, will be among the top pitchers in the division this spring.
Goffstown junior Tanner Putnam will also be one of the best pitchers in Division II. Putnam pitched a complete game when Goffstown beat Sanborn of Kingston in last year's semifinals.
"Windham will be good because they were young last season," Lawrence said. "Portsmouth will be near the top because it's the Portsmouth program. I think Souhegan is another team that could be pretty good."
Souhegan of Amherst competed in Florida for four days (April 2-5) in preparation for the season.
Campbell of Litchfield and Monadnock Regional of Swanzey each return two all-state players from a year ago and figure to be the top teams in Division III.
Campbell will build around pitcher Connor Sahlin and shortstop Christian Bourgea. Sahlin was the Division III Player of the Year in 2013. Monadnock returns pitcher Ben Mallet and center fielder Cam Bath.
Bow, Stevens of Claremont and Pelham are among the other strong teams in the division.
Pittsfield looks like it will have a chance to repeat as the Division IV champion. The Panthers return their top three pitchers from a year ago: Kris Perkins (7-1, 0.79 ERA), Chris Farr (5-0, 1.97 ERA) and Jed Eastman (2-2, 2.33 ERA). Those three recorded eight shutouts last season.
"They're big strikeout pitchers," Pittsfield coach Rob Stockman said. "I really feel like I may have three of the top six pitchers in Division IV. It's a nice luxury to have."


text: ELMA, N.Y., July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Servotronics, Inc.'s (Company) Annual Meeting was held in Buffalo, New York on Friday, July 1, 2011. The Company's current activities were reviewed and presented. The Company is composed of two groups -- the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and the Consumer Products Group (CPG). The ATG primarily designs, develops and manufactures servo control and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, manufacturing equipment, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, machetes and combat, survival, sporting, agricultural, and pocket knives for both commercial and government applications. The year 2010 was a year of increased net income, product developments and aggressive pursuits of new marketing targets of opportunity. Servotronics, Inc.'s ("Company") net income increased 11.8% to $2,128,000 (or $1.08 per share Basic and $1.01 Diluted) on revenues of $31,659,000 for the year ended 12/31/10 as compared to a net income of $1,903,000 on revenues of $33,008,000 for the same twelve-month period a year earlier. It was a year of new products and innovative enhancements for new and existing programs by the ATG and CPG. The Company's strong balance sheet and significant liquidity were clearly presented. On 12/31/10, Servotronics' Working Capital was approximately $18,800,000, the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio were 6.9 to 1 and 3.4 to 1 respectively and the long term Institutional Debt to equity ratio was .17 to 1. All of these 2010 business performance ratios clearly show continued strength and enhancement from an already strong foundation. Also noted was that the Company declared a $0.15 cash dividend per share to shareholders of record on 4/29/11. This cash dividend on the Company's common stock for the fourth consecutive year does not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. However, our Board of Directors will continue to consider the distribution of cash dividends based on the relevant facts and circumstances at the time of determination. The Company has expanded its presence in both the domestic and foreign markets. Specifically referenced and noted was a partial description of the numerous major programs and projects that have used, are using and expected to use Servotronics' control products. Similarly, the substantial number of new products and new applications at the Company's CPG were noted.

We mentioned it yesterday in our report on this event that if there was anyone on that final table that could come back from the second smallest stack and win the event then it would be JC Tran. He went and proved us right on Day 4 of the World Poker Tour Rolling Thunder after starting the day with 710,000 in chips and finishing it with all of the chips in the event.
He took home $302,750 for his efforts along with a seat worth $15,400 in the WPT World Championship, the end of season event that he will certainly be one of the favourites to take down.
This event originally started four days ago with a total of 465 players taking to the felt. Tran played superbly to not only navigate his way past the majority of them to make the final table, but also to turn that final table on its head.
Hey Sactown!!! I did it for us!! @WPT @TVPokerRoom @888poker Thank you everyone for ur amazing support! #hometowntitle

He had to overcome an impressive performance from Preston Harwell when the two were heads up for the title. Tran started that session with almost half the chips of his opponent but he grinded his opponent down until he actually went in front. Harwell fought back and in fact the players swapped the chip lead on a number of occasions until a big hand saw his opponent go below 10 big blinds.
This deficit would be one that was too much for Harwell to recover from and the final hand came quickly after. Harwell pushed all-in pre-flop with the 8s-5s and Tran made the call with the Kd-4c. The board fell as the 6c-4s-2d-10h-9h to give Tran a pair, the hand, the 1st place winnings and the title.
How It Finished
1st) JC Tran – $302,750
2nd) Preston Harwell – $200,030
3rd) Quoc Pham – $127,140
4th) Mimi Luu – $100,240
5th) Benjamin Zamani – $80,130
6th) Ken Jorgensen – $60,180

Pilot Pay
Author: cob3898
Earlier Sandman posted an excellent and comprehensive collection of links and notes on Executive Jet. Some of that discussion alluded to the difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified pilots for Executive Jet. There was a question as to why a Captain for Executive Jet earns approx. $58,000 per year compared to a United Captain at $178,000 per year. IMHO, the wide disparity in compensation for pilots is the primary reason for vacancies and high turnover in certain flight operations. Although the scope, size and success of Executive Jet would suggest that their employees would deserve and demand an industry leading salary package, they may not ever approach top airline salaries for very simple reasons. Commercial pilot salaries are largely correlated to where those pilots are along the food chain hierarchy:
-- the size of the equipment flown....(the logic being the more passengers carried, the greater the responsibility, etc)....the most significant factor.
-- longevity within the company which also implies greater experience (greater seniority leads to an an automatic and orderly advancement into larger equipment and seat position)
-- the degree to which organized unions can wrestle away concessions from management during the militant and oftentimes rancorous debate that goes on during contract renewal.
Below I have listed a comparison of selected pilot contract provisions in effect as of April 30, 2000 for 5 major airlines (Continental, Delta, Northwest, United, and US Airways). The data was developed by ALPA ( Airline Pilot's Association) Economic and Financial Analysis and Retirement Departments.
For simplicity, on average, pilots for a major carrier may fly approximately 1000 hours per year....using this figure and multiplying by the hourly rates below will provide a fair estimation of annual salary.
For the young aspiring pilot who decides at some point to take up aviation as a profession, the road is long and costly....and most would consider a shot at United Airlines to be the pinnacle of success with other flying opportunities along the way serving as an apprenticeship to the ultimate goal of working for a major airline.
The young aspiring aviator might first obtain a private pilot's license, maybe work as a crop duster, scratching out odd jobs along the way so as to afford to build flying time needed to qualify for a commercial license.
Perhaps, he/she might work towards an instructor rating, so as to eke out a meager living teaching while allowing the students to pay the expenses. If one still has a burning desire to fly for a living after the many hours of instructing students who are trying to kill you each and every day all the while you are managing to dig yourself deeper into debt, then the next logical step might be air taxi (drunk abusive celebrities with their gal pals), night freight haul (ouch!!, body clock problems again), or corporate flying (jeez, I'm always on call!....Executive Jet, for example).
Still the drudgery and being on call for long hours, along with the major expense of acquiring new ratings, will have invariably taken a serious taken toll on a young family by now. Moreover, it may take a few more years to move into that coveted corporate Captain's job, but meanwhile, the lure and temptation of taking a shot at a high paying major airline job with all of the other attendant benefits is still lurking on the horizon.
And there's still another avenue that might have to be taken to enhance one's qualifications with that major airline....moving on to those low paying regional/commuter entry jobs with long hours approaching FAA monthly minimums, very few days off, but with the kind of jet experience into high density airports that the airlines prefer and actively seek out on a regular basis in a pilot candidate. So, after all of the time building experience and working long hours making $15,000 to $20,000 per year, it is no wonder why many decide to climb the ladder as far and as fast as the competition will permit.
All of this suggests that so long as the attractive compensation packages continue to exist among the major carriers which stand in stark contrast to other flight jobs along the entire food chain, outfits like Executive Jet may continue to suffer high turnover and increasing training costs to seek out new hires. (oh yes, there's that turnover word again)....Ironically, that synergistic effect will be good news for Flight Safety, whose business it is to constantly pump out new candidates to meet the growing need for pilots, whether due to the massive numbers entering retirement, airline expansion, or simply the natural progression of pilot's looking to move on from corporate/commuter jobs to garner a better financial deal and quality of life with a major airline.
So, here's the sweet deal waiting at the end of a long and winding road:
|Wide Body 12 year Captain
|Wide Body 5 year First Officer
|Large Narrow Body 12 year Captain
|Large Narrow Body 5 year FO
|Small Narrow Body 12 year Captain
|Small Narrow Body 2 year FO
Large Body Aircraft would include B777, B767, B747, A330.
Large Narrow Body Aircraft would include B757, MD80.
Small Narrow Body Aircraft would include B737 - 2/3/4/5/6/7/800 series, A319, DC-9.

I love this product! It goes on easy and doesn't feel sticky or thick and gunky on my child's bottom. Besides using it as a diaper ointment/cream, we also use it for crawler's knees and mild flare ups of eczema. It smells great. We tried two different scents (lavender & tea tree oil, and lemon sage ginger)...I can't wait to try more! The sample sizes are great to carry in the diaper bag too!

Best Uses
- Babies mamas anyone
I had a sample size of the lavender tea tree essential oil version when I suspected my girls had the start of a yeast rash. I put the CJ's on with each diaper change and within 2-3 changes the rash was all but gone. I kept using it for several days, and they are now rash free. I don't use a liner, since its a food grade coconut oil base, and I've had no problems so far with leaks or repelling. I do wash on hot though. There are so many great smells, but I love the tea tree lavender. I usually end up rubbing any leftover cream into my hands! I keep a sample size in my purse for my own use! Highly recommend.
