Whistleblowing Claims Newcastle
Workers have legal protection under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 against dismissal or other penalty as a result of disclosing information relating to malpractice such as crimes, breaches of a legal obligation, miscarriages of justice, dangers to health and safety or the environment and to the concealing of evidence relating to any of these. (Commonly known as "whistle blowing"). It does not matter that the information may be confidential.
To gain protection the person must have made the disclosure in "Good Faith" i.e. to remedy the wrong that has occurred. There are various levels of protection depending on the circumstances of the disclosure.
First, disclosure to the employer will be protected if the worker has an honest and reasonable suspicion malpractice has occurred and acts in good faith.
Second, disclosure to 'prescribed persons' such as the Financial Services Authority, is protected provided the requirements for internal protection are met and in addition the worker reasonably believes the information and any allegation in it are substantially true.
Finally, wider disclosure such as to the media or the police, is protected where the disclosure is reasonable in all the circumstances and is not made for personal gain.
There are also a further 3 requirements, namely that the worker reasonably believes that he or she would be victimised if the matter were raised internally or with a prescribed person, there was no prescribed person and the worker reasonably believed the evidence was likely to be concealed or destroyed, or the concerns had already been raised with the employer or a prescribed person. These three pre-conditions do not apply where the malpractice is of an exceptionally serious nature.
Dismissal for "whistle blowing" is an automatically unfair dismissal. The Public Disclosure Act 1998 removes the restrictions on the compensatory award in a dismissal case for protected disclosure and provides for a higher level of additional award to apply where there is a failure to reinstate or re-engage.

You can find BJP Online here.
Even more upsetting is the apparent severe loss of freedom being experienced by photographers in the UK. Private and public resources are being spent to prevent photographers, amateur and professional, from shooting images in public places. It seems surreal that in London, of all places, it is effectively illegal to take snapshots of Tower Bridge, while dozens of video cameras planted on the sides of buildings, and on posts and parapets, watch those below. One could say the predictions of Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner, have become reality in England. Or has BBC simply broadcast MI6 too many times, and frightened an entire country with artistic fiction? We do admire British television here, but prefer Doc Martin, and Top Gear.
To attempt to address that problem, a group of photographers are protesting, and here is a story about it in the recent issue of the BJP.

First Spectrometer on a Chip - OSA Poster
This is a bit academic, but I thought I would post a link to my poster at the Optical Society of America from the last century on the subject of a Spectrometer on a Chip. This was the very first in vivo spectrometer that was small enough to go inside the human body to measure the intensity and color of light reflection, fluorescence, and absorption.
Here is a link to a pdf of the poster.
A lot of other companies have claimed to have invented the "Spectrometer on a Chip" but we did it long before any of them.

It looks like I have a choice to "restore" my album for free, but I am hesitant to do so.
Anybody know what's up with this? I haven't been suspended since high school.

Tobias Feltus and Bob Crowley have pints at Mr. Thomas's in Manchester England
(link here) was having a first night showing and gathering of his photographs right there. How handy was that? So we proceeded to ask Mr. Oakes to shoot our picture, seen above, and chatted with him and Sandra Oakes, and his many friends and photographic associates who showed up over the course of the evening.
Most did not know that Ilford was still in Manchester!
Mr. Thomas's Chop House - highly recommended. Wonderful food and ambiance within a stagger of the Midland Hotel.

The Impossible Project - Enschede NL
The Impossible Project has an "about" page that gives an especially good glimpse into the workings of their Enschede plant that is worth visiting here at this link.
added later on: If you've read this far you might be interested to know how impressive the plant is, and Enschede in general. I'm not impressed easily - free, fast wifi on the clean, on-time train to Schipol, and nice clear and sunny weather over a quite beautiful Dutch countryside are also a big plus!
The Train, Andre, then plant general manager, took his orders to dismantle and scrap the enormous production machines in a "measured" fashion, meanwhile, the large three city block long property, which had been slated for in-city condos, was waylaid by the mortgage crisis, and so stands today, with much running equipment!
This tale of industrial rescue genius has even more details and wonderful accounts of important things being reclaimed from scrapyards by other highly motivated ex-pols such as Renee, and should be recorded by some historian. As a process and manufacturing person, I am especially in awe of the accomplishments to-date.

Put the spinach into a colander, pour over a kettle of boiling water and leave to drain for a few mins. Then squeeze out as much water as possible. Season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
Grease an ovenproof dish generously with butter and spread half the sweet potato slices across the bottom. Top with a layer of spinach, then the remaining potato. Pour over the cream mixture, through a sieve to remove the garlic and herbs, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45-55 mins until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, if you're serving the chops, heat a griddle or frying pan and finely chop the leaves from the herb sprig. Rub over the chops with the oil and some seasoning, then griddle or fry for 3-4 mins on each side or until cooked to your liking. Leave bake, and chops if serving, to rest for 5 mins, then serve with a big green salad.

|PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96624-01
PL/SQL Language Elements, 16 of 52
The pragma
EXCEPTION_INIT associates an exception name with an Oracle error number. That lets you refer to any internal exception by name and to write a specific handler for it instead of using the
OTHERS handler. For more information, see "Associating a PL/SQL Exception with a Number: Pragma EXCEPTION_INIT".
This is any valid Oracle error number. These are the same error numbers returned by the function
This identifies a user-defined exception previously declared within the current scope.
This keyword signifies that the statement is a pragma (compiler directive). Pragmas are processed at compile time, not at run time. They do not affect the meaning of a program; they simply convey information to the compiler.
You can use
EXCEPTION_INIT in the declarative part of any PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package. The pragma must appear in the same declarative part as its associated exception, somewhere after the exception declaration.
Be sure to assign only one exception name to an error number.
The following pragma associates the exception
deadlock_detected with Oracle error 60:
DECLARE deadlock_detected EXCEPTION; PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(deadlock_detected, -60); BEGIN ... EXCEPTION WHEN deadlock_detected THEN -- handle the error ... END;
