Oregon Court of Appeals: Employers are Strictly Liable for Employees Who Do Not Take Full Meal Breaks
By Sarah Hale & Josh Goldberg
Barran Liebman LLP,
NW Law firm
The obligations of an employer to provide meal and rest breaks for employees just became more onerous with the Oregon Court of Appeals' holding that employers are responsible for ensuring employees receive their full meal period, even if an employee chooses to resume work early. What this practically means for employers is that merely providing the opportunity to take a break is insufficient, the employer must also ensure that the entire meal period—usually 30 continuous minutes for a work period of six hours or more—be taken.
In Maza v. Waterford Operations, Ltd. Liab. Co., 300 Or. App. 471 (2019), the Oregon Court of Appeals considered a class action of 54 individuals who claimed they did not receive a continuous 30-minute meal break and sought penalty wages for the alleged violation. The employer argued it provided non-exempt employees' rights to take meal breaks and did not require employees to work through their meal breaks. The employer also took reasonable steps to set policies that comply with Oregon meal break laws. Its handbook expressly provided, "[n]on-exempt hourly employees should never perform any work for the Company off-the-clock." The employer also required employees to "immediately report" when they received less than their full meal period and make notations on their timesheets. The plaintiffs in Maza disregarded these policies and did not take their full meal breaks. Nonetheless, they sought penalty wages in this case, arguing that the Company failed to take sufficient steps to ensure their meal periods were taken.
In Maza, the Oregon Court of Appeals applied a broad interpretation to Oregon law and concluded that employers are strictly liable for ensuring employees actually take meal breaks. Based on this interpretation, the Court allowed the plaintiffs to proceed with their claim for penalty wages.
Maza is a groundbreaking decision overturning settled wisdom that employers only need to make a meal break available to employees. Now, employers must also police employees to ensure they take their full meal break. Drafting strong handbook policies is a start, but is not enough to mitigate the risk of costly and disruptive class action suits. Given the sweeping holding in Maza, it is imperative that employers take affirmative steps to comply with the law. Employers should consider the following:
– Train managers and supervisors to ensure employees understand that taking the full 30-minute meal break is not optional or voluntary.
– Review your employee handbook to ensure it says that employees should first obtain permission before returning to work early and, in the event they return to work early, employees must mark down the time on their timesheets.
– Proactively enforce these rules, document incidents, and counsel or discipline employees for failing to take their full meal period or report off-the-clock work.
– Consider explaining to employees who telecommute that they too must comply with meal break policies. Direct supervisors to monitor telecommuters for compliance.
– Consider implementing a time-tracking system that prevents employees clocking in before their 30-minute break is complete.
For questions about wage and hour laws and handbook policies, contact Sarah Hale at 503-276-2111 or [email protected], or Josh Goldberg at 503-276-2107 or [email protected] For further discussion of this and other emerging wage and hour issues, sign up for Sarah's upcoming Food for Thought Breakfast Seminar, entitled, "Wage & Hour Compliance: Overtime Eligibility, Employee Classification, & Best Pay Practices," on Tuesday, January 14, 2019.

Gameday dishes or party dips are always a good trick to have under your cook's hat. Last-minute gatherings, or family holiday parties that require a lot of food, are also great excuses to make this delicious and decadent dip. Because you don't have to be on top of the stove mixing and stirring, this is an ideal recipe for when you need an appetizer to distract your guests while dinner is underway.
With just a few ingredients – good quality ground beef, Mexican Velveeta, and canned chili – you can wow your guests. Serve with fresh bread, corn chips, or pita chips. Although the chili gives it a lot of flavor, try adding taco seasoning to taste, along with chopped green chile peppers or jalapeño peppers. Chopped onions are also a great addition.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can chili (no beans)
- 1 pound mild Mexican Velveeta cheese (cubed or shredded)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
In a large pan, brown the beef in olive oil. Drain well and transfer to a slow cooker.
Add chili and cheese to the ground beef and stir to blend.
Cover and cook on low until cheese is melted, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to blend ingredients.
Serve hot from the slow cooker.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, naan, or fresh bread.
What Else to Do With My Dip?
What if you made a whole lot of chili cheese taco dip and now you're left with a lot of it and no people to feed? Here are a few ideas to repurpose the dish and make it into something new:
- Velveeta Lasagna: Use the dip as a lasagna filler using additional ground beef or pork. Add chopped tomatoes and vegetables of your choice to add volume to the filling. Top with shredded Monterrey Jack cheese and bake until hot and crispy on top.
- Nacho Extravaganza: Place 4 cups of corn tortillas in a semi-deep bowl. Reheat the dip, adding 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning (if you didn't use when making the dip), 1/2 cup of bacon bits, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Add chicken broth as needed to allow the mixture to be easily stirred. Pour the cheese dip on top of the tortillas and garnish with chopped green onions.
- 3-Cheese Sandwich: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut open a fresh baguette lengthwise and place it on a baking pan. Add a generous amount of the dip on both sides, slices of Gruyere cheese, and Havarti. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheeses have melted. Take out of the oven, close the baguette and slice into 3 big sandwiches. Serve with a green salad and fries.
- Mexican Omelet: Brown onions, peppers, and garlic in olive oil. Scramble 6 eggs for a 4 person omelet, and pour the egg mixture on top of the vegetables. Lower the temperature to medium-low and let cook until golden underneath. Flip and cook on the other side. Use 1 cup of the dip to cover the omelet. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with warm flour tortillas, halved limes, and slices of avocado.

After a spate of recent stories in the media on employees committing criminal offences within their responsibilities, many employers are left asking "Am I liable for my employee's actions".
In order to answer this question we turn to the High Court for their ruling, which states: "Where the employee takes advantage of his or her position with respect to the victim, that may suffice to determine that the wrongful act should be regarded as committed in the course or scope of employment and as such render the employer vicariously liable."
By identifying that employers can be vicariously liable we can now review some examples to test the application of the law. One example that is seen again and again is theft of private information. Under the Privacy Act, it is an organisation's responsibility to keep the details of customers private and secure. This can be achieved, however employees can still access and sell or transfer this important information.
One recent example involved well-known online retailer "Showpo" where a former employee copied the database of customer details and took the information to her new employer, also an online retailer. Customers became concerned after receiving emails from an unknown organisation that their personal information had been sold on and complained to "Showpo". In legal proceedings by "Showpo" against the rival online retailer, a court found in favour of "Showpo" and the company was awarded compensation for the use of its intellectual property and damage to its reputation from the data breach.
After reviewing the High Court findings and similar cases, if a customer or group of customers had sued "Showpo" for a breach of privacy by allowing an employee to have the opportunity to breach procedures in order to gain their private information, there is a strong likelihood that "Showpo" would have been found liable for their former employee's actions.
Within the banking and financial advisory sector in recent years there has also been a number of examples of criminal behaviour where the employer has also been held responsible, particularly in the area of financial planning and advisory.
One example is the case of former financial advisor Mr Thanh Tu, who when employed by Patersons Securities Limited who was gaoled for nearly ten years for stealing around $9,000,000 from investors and providing false documentation in relation to the "investments". It was also found that Mr Tu paid interest to the investments of some clients directly from the investments of other clients in a "pyramid" style scheme. It is understood that Mr Tu took advantage of a number of his clients' poor command of English to funnel funds between accounts and ultimately into the account of a personal holding company which he then invested in high-risk investments. Only a fraction of the funds were ever recovered.
Patersons Securities privately settled with each investor to ensure they were fully compensated for their loss.
As we have seen there is usually a good chance that if an employee acts in an illegal manner then the employer will have to pay some kind of compensation for the actions of the employee. This is where employers must ensure that appropriate controls, procedures, training and reviews/audits are completed. It is also imperative that insurance policies are up to date thus allowing employers to claim against these polices should a court find them liable in anyway.

In 1977, Yoko Pepera was lying in a hospital bed in Oakland, Calif., dying of breast cancer and searching for answers.
The doctors didn't even know at the time where the cancer had started, only that it was spreading rapidly. With no idea how to treat her, they sent her home with 30 days to live. But Pepera is the ultimate survivor. She not only lived, but she has thrived. Now at the age of 50, the Tulsa, Okla., resident will do whatever it takes to make sure that others have the answers she didn't.That is why Pepera will be in Greeley again on Wednesday, running in the annual Fourth of July Komen North Colorado Race for the Cure to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Pepera has an urgent message to tell — one that she plans to preach until there is a cure for breast cancer. Pepera plans to run in a Race for the Cure in all 50 states. But that is not all.
"After 50 states, if I don't see any medicines or anything approved for breast cancer I will continue running for the cure," Pepera said. "I will go to the 112 races they have for Race for the Cure if I have to. After 50 states, I will not stop there. If there is still no cure, I will keep running. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl and if I cannot crawl, I will go in a wheelchair. I will not stop until the day I see a cure."
Breast cancer may just have met its match in Pepera, who has proven already that she can beat the odds. If fact, she needed a miracle.After a couple months in the Oakland hospital, the doctors sent her home, but didn't tell her that it was because there was nothing more they could do. She couldn't eat or drink. She could barely talk. She was paralyzed and bedridden.
To make matters worse, she was trying desperately to talk to her mother for support in her native Japan, but each time she called home to Tokyo, she would get excuses from her family as to why her mother wasn't available. Her grandmother was supportive, but Pepera knew she was going to have to find the strength within herself to survive."I said I am not going to die, I am going to live," Pepera said. "I said to God, 'I need a miracle, so are you going to save me?' "
Her prayers were answered. With her family's help, she began drinking a teaspoon of milk a day. Soon, she was up to half a glass and then a full one. Within a few weeks, she was eating baby food and getting stronger.
She went back to the hospital where they started treating her. Six months later, she was on the road to recovery. But the tough times were far from over.
"I'm getting well and I find out my mom passed away when I am fighting my cancer," Pepera said. "The reason I couldn't get a hold of her was because they didn't want me to know what happened to her."
At the age of 49, her mother had died of breast cancer. To make matters worse, Pepera found out that her mother had refused any kind of treatment. The family didn't even know until she passed away that she had breast cancer.
"They wanted to do surgery right away, but my mom said that is part of a woman and if you take that away I am no longer a woman," Pepera said. "So she refused to get treatment."
While saddened by her death, Pepera was also angry at her mother. Not only for not getting any treatment but for refusing to confide in any of her family, even her dying daughter.
"She didn't do what they told her to do, so she passed away," Pepera said. "It was two years that she knew, and if she had spoken out about what she had, it probably would have given me warning about what had happened to me. But she didn't speak out and she died. Then I had to go through all the hard times."
So now, it is her daughter who is speaking out, hoping that others will not have to go through what she has, including a recent bout of breast cancer in which she had to have a lump removed a year ago. That is why even though she was in Greeley last year for the race — the second of the 24 states she has already done — she is back.
It is also why she travels around the country but won't take any money from the Komen foundation or any other donations to pay for her trips. She wants all the money to go to cancer research, so she pays for her expenses out of her own pocket, using her personal savings and the money she has saved up working as a server at Red Lobster in her hometown.
"This cancer has become my personal enemy, so I will fight cancer and go to 50 states to speak out for the woman."
And what a story of survival she has to tell.

Once you've mastered the art of how to take a good selfie, move on to bomb selfie captioning. What makes a good selfie caption good? Here's a 3-step guide on what to do, what not to do and a whole bunch of examples to get you started. Enjoy!
🤙Good Selfie Captions Add Personality
The concept of storytelling is such a hot theme on social media because what connects people to people are the experiences, the details, and the stories that we share. The same way editing apps like Facetune2 help you personalize your selfie visually, a caption helps you personalize it with words.
Bring the two-dimensional 'you' out of the selfie on the screen and into your followers' hearts and minds. I got a tad poetic there, but the bottom line is this: a generic caption is the worst! Ever stumbled upon this one? 'Me, myself & I'. That one is, in a word emoji: 🤦♀. Not memorable, and certainly not you. How about 'A selfie a day keeps the doctor away'? 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀.
Selfies can be taken anywhere – a good caption strives to add context and explain more about the who, what, where or why. Your selfie itself is just one part of the story and the caption is your chance to share the whole thing. Your vacation selfie certainly has you looking cute, but why don't you share the funny anecdote about how you snapped it before you realized you forgot sunscreen and came home redder than a stop sign? Or how the vintage sundress you're wearing is a hand-me-down from your sister who inherited it from your cousin because #family?
🙌 Good Selfie Captions Engage Your Audience
That's why we're here right? Likes, followers, comments, more followers! Get just 5% of your followers to leave a comment in response to your caption, and in social media terms, that's a freaking great success. Congrats! Go take that afternoon nap, pour yourself a glass of wine, splurge on a designer bag — however you celebrate a job well done.
How can you encourage engagement on every post? Adding personality and context to your captions will help, adding certain selfie hashtags might help, but what else can you do? Address your audience directly. Ask a question. Call on your followers to share their thoughts, their advice, their tips and tag their friends. I said it before: people looovvvee to share (at times, TMI) and as humans, they simply want to connect. Why do you think Instagram story games are so popular right now?
But I've digressed. Let's go back to the vacay selfie example. You could finish your caption by asking your audience for suggestions for sunscreen that won't clog pores. Or keep it general: ask them to comment with their fave beach hotspots or to tag a friend they can't wait to party with this summer.
🤜Good Selfie Captions Start Out Strong
Your mission in life is to stop followers mid-scroll. Your selfie itself may be enough for a half-second pause, but a good caption underneath will get them to stick around and engage; and just like a standup comedian, you need a strong opening line.
The way me and your mom met? Oh, she saw a picture of me on Instagram and commented, "Who's that zaddy" then the two eyes emojis fifteen times
— Brittani Nichols (@BisHilarious) June 16, 2019
In case you need some inspo to start rolling out captivating selfie captions out in every post, I've compiled a list of 25 selfie caption openers that I don't hate.
Selfie captions for a messy hair day or when you're channeling the fierceness within.
- Find your wild.
- Go wild for a while.
- Embrace the glorious mess that you are.
Ideal for the inevitable 'morning selfie'. Back it up with why you're ready to take on this day like a bad-ass.
- Coffee and confidence.
- May your coffee be hot and your eyeliner even.
- Confidence level = selfie, no filter.
- Some days start better than others.
- A little contour and a lot of confidence.
Save these selfie captions for the selfies you're most proud of.
- Like the view?
- Nothing feels as good as a selfie on the first try.
- Get your pose on.
- Not eye candy. Soul food.
Lazy day selfies. AKA every Sunday.
- Today I will be as useless as the g in lasagna.
- When you follow your heart, and it leads you to the couch.
- Super lazy. Like normal lazy, but with a cape.
#OOTD. Fashion. Style.
- Feelin' like a stiletto in a room full of flats.
- Don't be regular glue. You are glitter glue.
- Life is a party. Act like it, dress like it.
- My standards are high, but my heels are higher.
- There's power in looking good. There's also power in looking ridiculous and not caring that you do.
- Take care of your costume and your confidence will take care of the rest.
- I'm feeling the fashion in this frame.
For selfie'ing with a friend.
- Not sure what's tighter, our jeans or our friendship.
- The kind of person who makes me forget to check my phone.
- She had me at "We'll make it look like an accident."
👋Famous Last Words
Make sure to add your personality, your own flavor, your own twist of lemon (or vodka?) in every selfie caption. And if I ever see you with the likes of 'Me, myself & I', I reserve the right to unfollow.

I make below minimum wage. Why?
First of all, let me just say this may be a dumb question. I'm new to the job world.
I'm 16. I work as a teacher-like counselor at an Education Center in New York. I make $9.25 an hour even though minimum wage here is $11.10. Honestly, I don't want to ask my boss about it, for this is my first job and I don't know how to not sound like an asshole while doing it.
I was hoping the wisdom of some of you guys will be able to educate me. Is it because I'm still a student or something?13 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment9 months ago

Many prophecies hence contained in the Quran have come true. For example, the Quran prophesied in the starting of Chapter 30 (The Romans) that the Byzantines will be effective over the Persians in a coming battle.

I guess it's well worth experimenting to get the minimum dose you're able to get away with. I don't have severe erectile disfunction like I can always get hard during foreplay and I stay hard for the first 6 minutes or so. However, buy Viagra online the erection tends to fade somewhat after then. I tried it when my aldy was off, I thought she would return really late so that I masturbated. Worked a dream! Five hours later she arrives certainly and back early in the disposition. No difficulty about acting until her climax, soon followed . Really hard! And buy viagra online at 66 two orgasms in 6 hours has been very pleasing. Zero side affects from 50 mg.
40mg functioned amazing. Outcomes kicked in, within 50-60 min. Had company and lasting erec. I want my confidence to carry my own time and revel in my wife with a very firm erec. (whereas usually it requires her lube and hands to get me , then we hurry ). I was very happy to take my moment with a firm erec. Which used to take a perfect scenario for me to achieve (wait 5 days involving intercourse/ non stressful day). I had no side effects other than feelings light led but that only lasted for the first 30-45 minutes later taking 40mg. Amazing outcomes. I am quite looking forward to using up the r-x my physician prescribed, 8 x 100mg (told me to halve them) together w/ two allowed refills before next visit,
I'm 48 and buy viagra online that I dont have any problem getting an erection, I still elaborate my wife very much. This issue I've been maintaining it, buy viagra online then it became a psychologically problem. Been on this remarkable drug now for over a year and it works really well for me. In fact I love the intense erection that it provides me. I purchased it from onupton.com. Yes I get facial flushing and a small annoyance but aspirin types that out. If nothing else, I oddly like the flushing today. This makes me feel ready…. I started on 50mg and buy viagra online took myself up to 75mg because I felt it was much less extreme as it used to be. For me personally, buy viagra online it tales about 1.5 hours to kick . I love it

|Posted by Lorraine Serra on May 19, 2010 at 6:27 PM
I decided to start a study in the book of Malachi this morning.
I thought, for the first time, I am going to make it a study
that I share with my friends. So, as I study and post,
please feel free to post your comments and share
what you glean from the scriptures as the Lord leads you.
Now, I discovered as I started writing this morning that
it turned into a longish article. So for this first one,
I went ahead an posted it on an article site. The link
is provided below so you can view it and then
return here to post if you like. I don't know, maybe
I'll post the next one right here. You can let me know
how you like the little bounce to another site and
then coming back here again.
Anyway, here is an excerpt from the middle of my
article, discussing the title, the "Sun of Righteousness" who
will arise with healing in His wings.......Praise God.
Pouring out a powerful, undeniable presence upon the earth,
the sun is a perfect metaphor for the coming of Jesus Christ.
Christ, the Light of the World, has impacted the world of
darkness in a way which has brought grace and truth and
life. The earth would be a dungeon without the sun's light,
just as men's souls would be utter darkness without the glory
of God shining in the face of Christ towards us.
This Sun of Righteousness has light in Himself, He is the
Fountain of Light and His rays streaming outward in a
continuously generous outflow of mercy, comfort, forgiveness
and grace are the wings under which we find healing for
body, mind and spirit.
Christ came in the flesh to bring this
health to a dying, distempered world. He continues to
arise through those who reverence His name and worship
Him in humility and thankfulness, reflecting His glory just as
the moon reflects the light of the sun.
Here is the link to the site where it has been published.
Love to all in Christ.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Woodstock
Located north of Marietta, Woodstock is known as the birthplace of Dean Rusk, who was the Secretary of State during the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. The city is home to just over 32,230 people, and one in eight residents are 65 or older.
If the city's senior residents need help with activities of daily living, they can turn to the seven assisted living facilities in Woodstock. Assisted living facilities in Woodstock and throughout the state are regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Woodstock
- Georgia's tax policies are among the most retiree-friendly in the country. The first $65,000 in retirement income, including pensions, dividends and capital gains, is exempt from state taxes. Seniors don't need to pay state taxes on their Social Security income. With so many tax savings, Woodstock seniors may find it easier to afford assisted living.
- Compared to the Georgia average, Woodstock has a low crime rate. In this city, the property crime rate is 19.29 per 1,000 residents, and the violent crime rate is 1.11 per 1,000 residents. Statewide, these rates are 28.6 and 3.57, respectively. Georgia seniors may choose to retire in Woodstock for peace of mind.
- By two measures of air pollution, ozone and year-round particle pollution, the Atlanta metropolitan area ranks among the 25 most polluted cities in the United States. Seniors who live in Woodstock may want to take precautions to protect themselves, such as staying indoors on days with poor air quality.
- Woodstock receives a score of 7.6 on the Sperling BestPlaces Comfort Index, which means it has one of the most comfortable climates in Georgia. The city receives 213 sunny days per year, on average, while the U.S. norm is only 205. With this weather, Woodstock seniors get plenty of opportunity for outdoor exercise.
- In this city, the overall cost of living is 17.2% higher than the national average. Housing costs are a major factor, as are transportation costs. Seniors may want to consider this higher cost of living before relocating to Woodstock.
- Woodstock has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Canton.

Kurdish Geopolitics
Over the weekend, the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) posted a letter on its web site from its president, Masoud Barzani. The message garnered little attention outside the region, but its content is significant.
In the message, Barzani announced that he was ordering representatives from Iraqi Kurdistan to travel to Syria in order to investigate reports that "terrorists of al-Qaeda are attacking the civilian population and slaughtering innocent women and children." More significantly, he went on to promise that if the reports were found to be accurate, the KRG would "make use of all of its capabilities" to defend Syrian Kurds against this threat. (The letter was posted to the Kurdish and Arabic versions of the KRG web site, but not to the English version. Translated excerpts can be found here and here.)
Of course, this promise to make use of all KRG capabilities does not mean that an incursion into Syria by its organic military force, the Peshmerga, is imminent. But some sort of action is not as improbable as it might seem. To be sure, such action in the near-term is likely to be limited to issuing public statements like this one, or perhaps to boosting assistance to Syrian Kurdish refugees. But the KRG has been known to maintain Peshmerga forces beyond its borders in Kurdish-populated territory in Iraq, so the possibility of cross-border operations certainly exists. The underlying motivation that could lead to such an action is captured in a report on Iraqi Kurdistan's security forces by U.S. Army Colonel Dennis Chapman. Peshmerga deployment outside the KRG's formal area of authority, Chapman argues, indicates "an implied task of securing Kurdish communities not under the formal jurisdiction of the KRG where populations are deemed to be under threat."
So what if this implied task is not limited to protecting Iraqi Kurds, but extends to Kurds in Syria, as well? Or those in Turkey and Iran, for that matter? The substance of Barzani's message suggests that this is the case, and it exposes why an overemphasis on the "geo" component in geopolitical analysis can yield an inadequate conceptualization of world events. Geography does matter—particularly state borders. But so too do myriad other factors: ethnicity, religion, and language, to name but a few.
At first glance, the notion of an "implied task" to protect populations beyond the territory over which the KRG governs might appear to challenge a core principle of realism—that states are the principal actors in international affairs. But Barzani's ostensible willingness to act on behalf of a foreign population does not suggest that ours is now a post-Westphalian world in which states no longer matter. It isn't, and they do. States remain the primary actors both participating in and shaping world events. But the ways in which they perceive themselves and terms in which they define their interests matter. And these considerations are not driven exclusively by geography, particularly in the Middle East, which is marked by a pair of characteristics that diminish the relative influence of geography and borders on politics and regional affairs: (1) political boundaries do not reflect the realities of ethnic or religious dispersion across a region; and (2) citizenship of a particular state is only a peripheral component of individuals' identity formation compared to those of tribe, ethnicity, religious sect, language, and other attributes.
The first characteristic is largely a function of the arbitrary borders left as a legacy of the colonial era. In fact, the incongruities of Middle Eastern borders are so fundamentally problematic that redrawing them to create states with generally homogenous populations has been mooted as a means of introducing stability into a region that has long lacked it. Of course, redrawing Middle Eastern borders on such a scale is unrealistic—little more than a theoretical exercise—but it demonstrates how geography's explanatory capacity is limited in a region where the political geography itself makes little sense.
The second characteristic is most prevalent in places historically rife with conflict, during which ethnic, tribal, and religious associations are central because such relationships are counted on for security. These attributes unsurprisingly become a central component of identity formation. This helps explain the responsibility Barzani evidently feels for the protection of Syrian Kurds. A shared sense of historical persecution unites Kurds across a number of countries. It is only natural, then, that the leader of a state of which ethnicity is a defining component (Kurdistan) would define the responsibilities and interests of his state-like polity in terms heavily shaded by ethnicity.
Yes, geography is important. But so are other considerations. And because borders will not be redrawn, and ethnically and religiously driven conflict will remain common across large swathes of the globe, these other considerations will continue to be critical elements of any accurate understanding of international affairs. Geopolitical analysis can only go so far in making sense of the world, particularly complex regions like the Middle East.

1. Overview
2. Network hierarchy
3. Products & Activities
4. Performance methodology
5. Report structure
6. Report generator
7. Data management
8. Sales Commission Plan
9. Quota Allocation Models
1. Overview Page
The overview page gives you a brief look of your current network status, allows you to switch to another network or create a new one.
Information displayed
- Under the current network name you can see the number of hierarchy levels, the total number of network nodes as well as the total number of sales nodes (last hierarchy level).
- On the top right side you can see the network's overall performance, for the current reference year and the current reporting month.
- On the bottom right you can see useful information messages having to do with data integrity & synchronization issues.
New network
You can easily create a new network by pressing this button. The following form appears:
- First, enter a name for the new network.
- Second, select the year that initially this network refers to. Later on, you can add a new year from the overview page.
- Then, enter the network's hierarchy levels. Keep in mind that a network consists of at least two hierarchy levels:
- Level 0 is the highest hierarchy level and only one node at this level can exist (e.g. Network Manager, Commercial Director)
- Last level corresponds to your sales nodes level (e.g. stores, sales reps).
- Intermediate levels (if any) correspond to intermediate levels of hierarchy (e.g. Divisions, Area Managers). Enter as many as necessary.
Edit network
The same form as above appears, where you can only modify the network's name and the hierarchy's level names. If you need a different number of hierarchy levels, then you must create a new network.
Delete network
You can delete the selected network (all of its reference years) by clicking this button. You will be asked to verify it first because this action cannot be undone.
Set up a new year
This function is not available in the beta version. You can only work on the year you initially created the network for.
Change reporting month
Regardless of up to which month you have entered your sales figures, you may select to set up your network to refer to a previous month. An occasion would be that you have entered updated past months' figures and you want to generate a new set of reports.
When you change the reporting month, everything is been re-calculated as if the next months' figures have never been entered. Just to be alert, in the synchronization banner, a message will appear:
2. Network hierarchy page
In the Network hierarchy page you can enter/modify the nodes of your network, in the hierarchy levels you defined when you created it.
Information displayed
In the main part of the page, the network structure is displayed in a hierarchical form. The ID column refers only to the lowest level sales nodes. The Overall Performance Indicator column displays the current overall node performance. If missing, its probably that no sales or quota figures have been entered for the specific node ID.
Add sibling
To add a sibling node at the same level, just select an existing node and click Add Sibling. All levels will be instantiated (see the red italics in the screenshot above). Enter the names and for the lowest level (in our example, Sales Reps), you must also enter the IDs.
Note: You cannot have two siblings with the same name, in the same level. This is allowed only for the lowest level nodes (e.g. Sales Reps), but they must have a different ID.
Drop node
To drop a node, just select it and click Drop node. All child nodes will also be deleted.
Save hierarchy
Changes you have made in the network hierarchy are not saved automatically, until you click Save hierarchy.
Note: You cannot leave the page if you have made changes to the hierarchy and haven't saved them. However, you can revert them by clicking Reload hierarchy.
Reload hierarchy
Clicking Reload hierarchy will revert all pending changes and reload the original network hierarchy.
Import sales nodes from a .csv file
If you want to import a large number of lowest level nodes, such as sales reps or stores, you can do so from a .csv file having only two columns (the node name and the sales node ID).
Note: DINAMIS does not check whether the .csv file is properly formatted, so please make sure that it is formatted as following (comma delimited and with no header line):
Name 1, ID 1
Name 2, ID 2
… , …
Press Load to open the .csv file and its contents are automatically displayed:
Select the nodes you want to import. For the Add button to be enabled, make sure to select the parent node in the network hierarchy, i.e. a node in the level above the lowest, otherwise DINAMIS will not know where exactly to import them. Repeat this for every parent node.
Minor functions
A+ & A- : Increase and decrease tree view font, both in this and the Report Generator pages.
%: Toggle the OPI column in the tree view
@: Toggle the email column in the tree view
3. Products & Activities page
This is where you enter the products that you want to target and monitor. By products we also to refer to activities, services or anything else that you want your network to attain.
Product groups
You can optionally define product groups. We recommend that you do this if you have more than a few products to monitor. First, you will probably want to monitor the performance at a group level and second, for display reasons, you can choose to group the results at the sales report. Only the Name field is mandatory.
Mandatory fields for products are: Product ID, Name and Target Description. The last two will appear in the sales reports.
4. Performance methodology page
Note: For an elaborate discussion on the performance methodology incorporated in DINAMIS, please read first here. The following presupposes that you are familiar with the subject.
Select performance measurement method
The beta version of DINAMIS only supports the credits method, however this is the more advanced one and we highly suggest you use it. Based on your feedback we will decide whether we will incorporate the more traditional approach with the gravity weights.
Select quarter
- Select the quarter you want to set credits for. If for a new quarter, DINAMIS will ask you whether you want to copy the products and credits of the previous one.
- Start adding product: you don't have to type in the product name, just double click on the cell and select it from the combo box.
- Note: If you do not set credits for a product for a specific quarter, it is as the product simply does not exist for this quarter. Even if quota and/or sales figures have been entered for this product, they will not count into overall calculations.
Annualized performance
If you want the OPI to be calculated annualized, check this (default is yes).
5. Report structure page
Dinamis generates three reports, namely the Sales report, for each one of your network nodes, the Management Dashboard report and the Sales Commission Plan report.
These reports are pre-designed, however you can choose whether some of their components will be displayed or not.
Sales report
Main sheet tab
Select the Sales report tab and within, the main sheet tab:
- Chain of command performance comparison: Shows OPI figures for all levels of hierarchy where current node refers to
- Monthly performance diagram: Includes a diagram with actual vs expected performance
- Group results: If you have declared groups of products. check this option if you want group results as well to be included in the sales report
- Optionally, if you have a very large number of products, you may choose to initially hide the product rows in the sales report.
Extra sheets
Select the Sales report tab and within, the extra sheets tab:
4. Rankings: Include extra sheet with rankings, for all levels of hierarchy
5. Auxiliary tables: Provided that have entered auxiliary data in the Data Management page, check if you want this data to be displayed as extra sheets in the Sales report.
Management Dashboard report
- Include distributions of sales nodes (histograms): Check if you want the two histograms to be displayed (recommended for networks with a large number of sales nodes)
- Default number of histogram bins: Select the initial number of bins, between 2 and 10. When the report opens, you can always change the bins number from that the bar underneath the histograms.
Sales Commission Plan report
There are no components to choose from in this report.
6. Report generator page
From this page you can generate your Sales and Management Dashboard reports. For details on what these reports contain, please have a lookhere.
Information displayed
In the main part of the page, the network structure is displayed in a hierarchical form, exactly as in the Network hierarchy page.
Open a single Sales report
Just select a node from the tree and press the Open Sales Report button.
- Note: Only nodes for which an OPI figure exists can be opened. A missing OPI figure is probably due to lack of quotas and/or sales figures for the specific node and is shown in grey italics (see Mike A. in the above screenshot).
Save Sales reports
Check this option if you want to save one or more reports.
- Select a node from the treeview. If you also want to select its children, click Select branch. If you want to save the reports for all the network nodes, just click Select all. You usually do so when you are ready to generate the monthly results.
- In any case you can see the number of reports that will be generated in the bottom right part of the page.
- Select the folder where that reports will be saved. A subfolder will be created with the network's name.
- Create reference month subfolder: Check this if you want to create a subfolder for the year and month that the reports refer to. By doing so you can have a different subfolder for every month. The subfolder's name will be in the form year_month.
- Create level subfolders: Check this if you want a subfolder to be created for every network node that reports are generated for, excluding those in the lowest level. By doing so, every node will have its own separate folder. In our screenshot example, the following subfolders will be created:
- London
- Jessica E. (The Jessica E. folder will contain all the sales reports for Susan O., James F. and John P.)
- London
- You can combine the above two options to create the folder structure that suits you the most. If you deselect both, all the reports will be saved in the network's directory. This is not a problem at all, you can always select what you want based on the filenames, which follow the form: year_month_node level_node name_[(node_ID)], where the (node_ID) exists only for the lowest level nodes.
- Press the Save button and the report generation begins. You can always cancel the process by pressing the Cancel button.
Open the Management Dashboard report
Press the Open Management Dashboard and generate the Management Dashboard report.
7. Data Management page
From this page you can handle (import/enter/modify) the quotas, sales and auxiliary data used by DINAMIS.
- Select database table to process: Select a table and its records are automatically displayed. You can add and remove records that instantly update the internal database. You can filter the records by product ID, node ID and quarter or month, the latter for the quotas and sales figures respectively.
- Auxiliary tables: The two auxiliary tables hold the information that you want to share with your network. The first time you choose an auxiliary table you will be asked to select the .csv containing its record. Please note the following:
- The first row will be used as column names
- The first column must contain the IDs of the lowest level nodes, usually stores or sales reps. DINAMIS will import all rows without checking whether they match with existing network nodes.
- You can enter a name for the table. The sheet that will be added in the sales report will be named as such. You can always delete an auxiliary table by pressing the corresponding button.
8. Sales Commission Plan page
Note: For an elaborate discussion on the Sales Commission Plan incorporated in DINAMIS, please read first here. The following presupposes that you are familiar with the subject.
Network & Level Commissions
In this tab you set up the parameters that calculate the commission for the entire network and its allocation to the network levels.
- Plan type: Initially you select the plan type, namely whether commission is due to be paid at the end of the year or on a quarterly basis. Currently, the beta version only supports the end of year plan.
- Commission criteria for the entire network: Enter the minimum commission that can be allocated to the entire network as well at the minimum OPI that must be attained for that to happen. Also enter the maximum commission, and again, the corresponding minimum OPI.
- Network commission: The network commission Is automatically re-calculated when you change any of the above parameters
- Commission share per network level: Having calculated the network commission, you must set its share for each network level. The share sum must of course add to 100.
Open SCP report: The SCP report button shows up here just for convenience. Normally, you must first set up the parameters for allocating the level commissions, on the next tab.
Allocation of level commissions to nodes
In this tab you set up the parameters that determine the allocation of a level commission (calculated above) to its nodes.
- Select the network level you want to parameterize
- Set up the minimum required OPI, above which a level node becomes beneficiary to a commission. The number of beneficiaries is displayed below.
- You can optionally define the minimum and maximum commissions a level node can be awarded with
- Set up the OPI & Sales Credits factor weights for commission calculation. Please note that the weights are the same for all the network levels, however they are displayed here for convenience, so that you can see instantly how they affect the results.
- Changing any of the above parameters, automatically re-allocates the level commission to the level nodes.
9. Quota Allocation Models

Hard times of joy are miracle times. Perseverance is one of the keys to success .Let nobody lie to you that their achievements were airborne .Even wealthy inheritance requires good management to maintain it's wealthy status. Nothing is made out of nothing and nothing comes easily out of the blues in life .Whatever one aims for in life , one must know the Why?,What?,in order to find the How?.This pattern enables us maintain a balanced course of action without losing direction. A positive cause might be a decision to lose weight and the reason could be for the purposes of a better outlook and good health .Both reasons are valid and a successful outcome is possible. An attitude of perserverance is key since some hard work and careful planning must be put into account. Maintaining a scheduled time and practice and discarding bad junk food habits is a must. Exercising often is difficult but it is not impossible. The temptation of cravings will at times eat away at the mind causing bad moods and sad moments .Fear of failure and been mocked by people will cause distraction if not kept at bay and in check. But say no to giving up ,for be sure the hard times are almost over and joy whispers , its on it's way , just around the corner .Do not fight the tears, sweats, muscle pains and aches ,but choose to embrace them. They are your allies.They are assuring you,what a marvelous job you are doing and you are on the tight, right path. Delete /discard the demons of shady ,diverse procrastinations ,be it toxic friends, things or places ,by keeping on doing what deep down you know is best for your mind ,body and soul.Remember, Spiritual guidance is another key to success.Through prayer ,song ,meditation ,showing gratitude and in the acts of sharing and helping you are truly balanced. You are not alone in the struggle to lose weight, to reach another level in your career,or mend that unstable relationship, you will overcome. Your required actions are hard work , getting up and about.For in everything in life there is a choice to agree or a dis-agree and neither is right or wrong .It's is in the "why?", there lies the answer .I wish you success and great day.
A big hug of love.

Hello Kat and Anna
I'm getting married in October and have two of the loveliest, super helpful bridesmaids (as well as a lovely, super helpful bridesman (has anyone come up with a better term for a male bridesmaid yet?!)) I have been searching all over for a present for the girls (I think the boy is sorted). I would love to get them a necklace or bracelet, but would be open to other ideas. I have been looking all over but nothing has caught my eye yet. I'd like something pretty but not too girly, and fun but not too crazy ironic – does that make sense? I can spend about £50 ($80) per person (but I could be persuaded to go a little higher).
Any suggestions would hugely helpful!
♥ ♥ ♥
Dear Ray,
Ahh yes the pretty things. I am too trying to figure out what I should buy for my girls. They are all so different with different likes and dislikes and so I can totally sympathise with your plight.
So first I looked for classic prettiness but with a modern edge. I happen to adore this pretty necklace. I just don't think you can go wrong with such a simple yet chic piece. If I were to receive this I would be wearing it for years.
Sterling silver wishbone necklace, £60 from Net-a-Porter
I am not sure why I love rings so much at the moment. Maybe because I see so many pictures of beautiful wedding and engagement rings. I know it is "trendy" to love thin bands but I happen to think that they suit most fingers and are a delightfully pretty way of saying thank you. A simple first letter of their name is such a touching memento. Although I am a heart fanatic and will probably have to buy myself a couple of these too!
Alphabet Rings, $88 from catbird
