The words "TUPE transfer" can strike terror in the hearts of organisations that are looking to take over a business or dealing with the transfer of a service provision.
TUPE, or Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, to use the full legal title, is designed to protect employees who find themselves being moved to a new employer when the undertaking they work in is transferred. It ensures that the employees' terms and conditions are protected and maintained under the new employer.
It is not just the organisation taking over a service provision that needs to be aware of the obligations around TUPE; those transferring their employees to another company also need to be aware of their obligations to consult with employees and provide employee information to the new employer.
The obligations a business faces will be very different depending on whether it is the transferor (i.e. the organisation transferring employees to another organisation) or the transferee (the organisation taking on the employees of a transferred service). With this in mind, Fiona Miller, director in employment law at business law firm, DWF, looks at the practical and legal aspects of TUPE, from both points of view.
When will a transfer involve TUPE?
There are two main circumstances when a business may find itself subject to TUPE either as a transferor or a transferee.
First, when part or all of a business is being transferred to another organisation and the transferred entity retains its identity after the transfer, it is likely to be a TUPE transfer. Employers proposing to acquire a business as a going concern (rather than simply by way of an asset sale or a sale of company shares) should be making preparations for a TUPE transfer of the employees of that business.
The second, and more complex, situation is where there is a service provision change. There will be a service provision change (SPC) where:
- Activities stop being carried out by a business itself and are instead carried out by a contractor on behalf of the business, eg a business outsources its catering provision to a contractor;
- Activities stop being carried out by a contractor on a business' behalf and are carried out instead by a subsequent contractor, eg the business terminates the catering contract with the contractor and gives the contract to a new contractor; or,
- Where a business brings a previously outsourced activity back in-house, eg the business terminates the catering contract and brings it in-house.
The transferor may be a business that has decided to outsource some of its operations or alternatively, it may be a contractor that has been carrying out the service provision for the business and the contract is either going back in-house or transferring to a second generation contractor.
If TUPE applies, those employees currently carrying out the work will automatically transfer to the other company on their existing terms and conditions.
What this means for transferors…
In many circumstances, it will be in the best commercial interests of the business that is transferring its activities to another organisation to argue strongly that TUPE applies, so that their employees will move across. If the employees don't transfer over, there is a real risk they won't have any work. That could mean that the business may face the costs and issues involved in making those employees redundant, which could result in employment tribunal claims. In large scale undertakings, these costs can be significant.
However, there are situations where a transferor may wish to retain the employees who would otherwise transfer on the TUPE arrangement. For example, those employees may have particular skills or contacts that the business wants to retain.
…and for transferees
The company taking over the transferring service will naturally look at matters from a different perspective from the transferor. On one hand, it may be happy to take on the employees who have been carrying out the activities to make sure it has the necessary resource and skills to provide the services. Otherwise, it could face immediate resourcing issues.
On the other hand, however, a transferee may already have sufficient resources to enable it to carry out the activities, and the staff from the transferring entity may be surplus to requirements, or be structured in such a way that does not suit its business model.
What's more, when a business takes on the employees, it will not only be liable for their employment costs from the date of the transfer, but also any outstanding liabilities up to the date of the transfer.
With that in mind, the organisation taking over the business activity or service provision has two main points to consider. Firstly, it is important to ascertain if there is an organised grouping of employees whose principal purpose is carrying out the services being transferred. Sometimes there may be no specific employees dedicated to the service, with the work instead being carried out by a fragmented group of employees.
Secondly, the post-transfer services may be carried out in a significantly different way to how the activities were carried out before the transfer. For example, if prior to the outsourcing of the catering contract there was a full service café, but then only a vending machine and tables are provided afterwards, TUPE would not apply
In this position, the transferee may sometimes take a strong stance and argue that TUPE does not apply, so that it is not liable for the employees. At this point it is left to the transferor to argue that it does. In such a stand-off, the employees are at risk of being left in 'no-man's land' – with the transferee arguing that they have no requirement to take them on, and the transferor arguing that it does.
Thankfully, in most cases, this initial argument is resolved fairly quickly as neither party usually wishes to resort to having to go to a tribunal. The parties will usually come to a consensus on how to deal with the employees. It should be borne in mind that generally, where there is a SPC, the tribunal will take the view that TUPE applies.
Who, exactly, is in scope?
If TUPE applies, the transferee will want to know which employees are assigned to the service provision, and are, therefore, within the scope of the TUPE transfer. However, this can be a complex task; case law says that this is not a simple question of arithmetic. It is not as straight forward as saying that an employee who spends more than 50 per cent of their time on the relevant activities is automatically assigned and transferred to the other company or contractor.
The European Court of Justice has provided guidance on how to decide whether an employee is assigned to the business or service provision that is transferring. However, this guidance is not clear-cut, and, in practice, it is left to the employment tribunal to determine whether an employee is within the scope of a TUPE transfer.
Employment tribunals have stressed that it is crucial to consider all the relevant circumstances of the particular case when assessing whether an employee is assigned to the business or service provision transferring. The tribunal will look at how much time the employee has spent on duties related to the transferring undertaking. Even if they spend time looking after other parts of the employer's business, they may be regarded as having been assigned to the transferring part of the business or undertaking. The issue of assignment cannot necessarily be determined by establishing the relative percentages of time spent by the employee on the transferred activities alone.
Preparing for the transfer – the transferor
Once it is clear that a transfer will be subject to TUPE, the transferor should start preparing employee liability information (ELI) [See box out 1 for more information on ELI requirements] for the employees who are in scope of the transfer. This will cover, for example, the identity and age of the employees; statement of particulars of their employment; information about any disciplinary procedure or grievance procedure in the last two years; information of any court or tribunal case, claim or action brought by the employee against the transferor within the last two years; and any collective agreements.
Employees affected by the proposed transfer will have to be informed and consulted regarding the matter. Where there is a recognised trade union, the consultation must take place with the trade union representatives. If, however, there is no recognised trade union, consultation will take place with the elected or nominated employee representatives and if there are none in place, it may be helpful to start the process to elect employee representatives at an early stage.
Considerations for the transferee
The business taking on the transferred staff will need to consider what information it wants from the transferor regarding the employees who fall in scope. Although ELI information does not need to be provided until 14 days before the TUPE transfer, this may simply be too late for the transferee to plan for the transfer. A transferee might want to drill into the detail of the duties and activities carried out by particular employees so it can challenge whether the employee is assigned to the service or undertaking. It is advisable, therefore, to ask the transferor to provide the ELI information as early as possible.
Given that there is an obligation to inform and consult the employees affected, the transferee must, as a matter of urgency, identify the measures it envisages taking with regard to the TUPE transfer. For example, the transferee should identify whether there may be any business reorganisation, changes to working locations, or redundancies. The transferee will be aware of the difficulties of harmonising terms post-TUPE transfer, but it is common for some terms to change, such as pay dates, pension providers, bonuses and share options.
At this stage the two parties should also review the employment costs and liabilities. Where there is a contract between the parties, they will negotiate where any costs should fall. While the transferee is obliged to cover all employee costs from the date of the TUPE transfer, the parties have contractual freedom between themselves to negotiate how costs are to be divided up.
Information sharing and the consultation process
Businesses handing employees over to the transferee in a TUPE transfer are under a legal obligation to inform the representatives of the affected employees (ie either the trade union or nominated employee representatives) of:
- The fact that the transfer is to take place, the date or proposed date of the transfer and the reasons for it
- The legal, economic and social implications of the transfer for any affected employees
- The measures which it envisages taking in connection with the transfer in relation to the affected employees (or if no measures are envisaged, that fact)
- Any measures it expects that the new employers will take regarding the transferred staff
- Information must also be provided about agency workers
- If measures are envisaged by either party, the obligation to consult is triggered
The transferor must make sure that it informs and consults all employees affected by the transfer, which may be a wider group than just the employees who are potentially transferring. For example, some retained employees may have their duties changed or working practices altered.
The business taking on the transferred staff must inform the transferor of any measures it envisages taking. It must also consider whether it needs to inform and consult any of its current employees, if there are any measures that may affect them. This could be the case if their duties might change or if there will be any restructuring.
In many cases, the organisation handing over the employees will find it helpful to involve the business receiving them in the consultation process,. There is joint liability between the transferor and transferee for any failure to inform and consult, so it is in both parties' interest to make sure they comply with this obligation.
The obligation to inform and consult has a sting in the tail - employees who claim that their employer has failed to inform and consult with them under TUPE may be entitled to an award of up to 13 weeks' pay.
Furthermore, if collective redundancies are envisaged, the TUPE consultation may overlap with the obligation to consult under section 188 TULRCA where 20 or more redundancies are proposed within a certain time frame.
Advice on the consultation process
Given the importance for both sides to ensure that they meet their obligation to inform or consult, some things that transferees and transferors should consider include:
- When should consultation start?
Consultation should be started "long enough before the transfer to enable the employer to consult the representatives". This is a somewhat vague definition, but for a consultation to be effective in practice it must be meaningful and if it is started too late, then the consultation may not be compliant.
- How should information be provided?
The information has to be delivered to the representatives or sent by post. In the case of consulting with a trade union, correspondence should be sent to the trade union at the address of its head or main office. It makes sense to provide the information in writing, although this is not expressly stated.
- Who is entitled to the information?
The trade union representatives where there is a recognised trade union or the employee representatives where there is none.
If there are no trade union or employee representatives, the information must be provided directly to the affected employees.
- What happens if the information is not provided?
The tribunal may award up to 13 weeks' pay to each affected employee. Both the transferor and transferee will be jointly and severally liable for any award.
TUPE can seem like a frightening prospect to many organisations involved in service provision transfers. At times, a TUPE transfer can seem like a combative process between transferring parties, but, at its core, the regulations are designed to protect employees.
The challenges facing the transferor and the transferee may differ, but the key to success on both sides is taking time to plan the transfer so as to take account of the issues involved and to analyse the liabilities and risks so as to put itself in the best commercial position.
ELI and Due Diligence [BOX OUT SECTION 1]
Advice for the transferor
The organisation transferring employees to another organisation must notify the receiving organisation of the ELI for any employee who is assigned to the organised grouping of resources or employees that is the subject of the relevant transfer.
As stated above, the transferor is under an obligation to notify the receiving organisation of the ELI for all transferring employees no more than 14 days before the transfer – or as soon as is reasonably practicably thereafter if this is not possible. This must be done either in writing or by making it available in a readily accessible form.
The transferee may also want additional information over and above the ELI and this may be part of the negotiations leading up to the contract.
Advice for the transferee
Any employees who transfer under TUPE will have legal protection, so an organisation taking on the employees should make sure that it reviews the ELI and due diligence information carefully.
Some things to be aware of when reviewing ELI and additional information include:
- Are there restrictive covenants in place?
- Do they need to be reviewed to make sure that they protect the new business and employer?
- Are there long notice periods that will make it difficult to re-organise?
- Are there outstanding employee relation issues?
- Is there a recognised trade union or collective agreement?
It is worth bearing in mind that if the transferor fails to provide the ELI, the transferee may bring a claim against them in the employment tribunal. The tribunal may award a minimum of £500 compensation per employee in respect of whom the transferor has not provided information.
Common Questions and Issues Regarding TUPE
The simple answer is no. If the transaction falls within the definition of a transfer under the TUPE regulations, TUPE will apply, whatever the transferring parties agree. The parties do, however, have contractual freedom to agree to allocate the employment costs between themselves.
Is it possible to choose which employees transfer?
Under TUPE, no, but under the contract, yes. The employees have rights under TUPE, but the contract may change the position between the parties. Remember also that employees may object to the transfer and remain in employment with the transferor (provided the transferor agrees).
What about cross-border issues?
TUPE can apply to transfers from the UK to other countries within the EU or outside the EU, in which cases employees would be entitled to transfer to the new employer on their existing terms. In practice, however, the employees are likely to be reluctant to move abroad on their existing terms and so would be made redundant. There would also be issues of employment tribunal awards against an offshore party.
TUPE does not apply if a service is being transferred from outside the UK into a UK-based organisation.
How are pension schemes affected?
Where there is an occupational pension scheme, benefits for old age, invalidity and survivors do not transfer. However, the transferee must replace the scheme with minimum benefits, usually matching employer contributions up to six per cent in a defined contribution or stakeholder scheme. So called "Beckman" benefits, ie benefits that are not old age, invalidity or survivors, do transfer. This might include a pension scheme which has provision for early retirement and redundancy.

New Delhi, Oct. 18 : The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Sunday negated allegations of publishing an article backing the Dadri lynching incident in its mouthpiece Panchjanya, saying the government must focus on ways to reduce communal clashes in the country.
Hitesh Shankar, the editor of Panchjanya, said that they do not support any violent incident.
"The writers have different perspectives and thoughts about a subject… we just publish them. But I don't remember any such article that supports violence being published in Panchjanya," said Shankar.
"The country has seen the revolt of 1857. In Punjab as well, there has been resentment against the desecration of a holy book. There is anguish in the society," he added.
Shankar further said the society has certain value points that prevent clashes.
"Not following those points create clashes. How can we remove these clashes should be the government's concern," he said.
The RSS mouthpiece in its latest edition has criticised the writers, who have returned their awards in the wake of the incident in Dadri where a man was lynched over rumours of storing beef at his residence.
It alleges that madrasas and the Muslim leadership teach Indian Muslims to hate the country's traditions. "Akhlaq (the Dadri victim) perhaps slaughtered a cow under the influence of such bad deeds," it states.
Questioning the silence of writers, it asks them why they have been quiet on this issue. "Vedas order killing of the sinner who kills a cow. It is a matter of life and death for many of us)," states the article(ANI)

I'm 20 years old I've never been much of a drinker before I think the only time I have ever been drunk before now was when I was a young teen probably around 14 years old when I first tried alcohol for the first time but as of recently I've started drinking every night, I suffered with social phobia for most of my teenage life so I haven't had a strong circle of friends because of that but in the last 3 weeks I have started drinking alcohol it started with just taking a shot of vodka to help me sleep at night but then it suddenly became a regular thing because I enjoyed the feeling from it and in the last 2 weeks I'd say I haven't drank for maybe 2 nights but for 2 weeks I've pretty much drank every night, sometimes it will be a little bit but other times I have gone through bottles and over 20 cans a night. Right now it just feels like something I look forward too but my family have expressed their worries and concerns about it
Does this sound like something to be concerned about to you?
Most Helpful Girl
Sounds more like binge drinking to me
However I would defiantly recommend that you slow down with drinking alcohol it's highly addictive and if you're seeing regular patterns then yes I would assume that is something to be concerned about.
What makes it more concerning is you mentioned you wasn't much of a drinker before so that could indicate that something might be up if you're now suddenly drinking and have only stopped drinking 2 times in 2 weeks which would be concerning for anybody so yes I would say defiantly be careful and cut down by a lot00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
Alcohol is addictive. Once you are hooked you are hooked for life.
Alcoholism is a progressive disease. That means it gets worse even if you stop drinking. Some alcoholics are surprised to find that even tho they may have quit for years, when they take that one drink they not only can't stop drinking but they find themselves so overpowered with getting drunk that it ruins some of their lives.
Nothing good comes from excessive drinking. Hope you stop it before it makes a train wreck out of your life.
If you need to get a buzz smoke some weed, if it is legal where you are. Much safer with very few negative side-effects.00|00|0

William Hillman Shockley, one of the first botanical collectors actually to reside in,
rather than merely pass through the state of Nevada, lived for 13 years (1880-1893) at Candelaria, at that time a flourishing mining community situated close to the Esmeralda-Mineral county line. He was born in 1855 in New Bedford, Mass.; the family was of Pilgrim stock, claiming descent from John Alden. Shockley was educated in New England, graduating in 1875 from Massachusettes Institute of Technology with a degree in engineering, and shortly afterward emigrated to the western frontier to make his fortune in the Nevada silver mines. A man of wide culture and diverse interests, Shockley became interested in botany at an early age. Prior to his move west he had collected ferns in the limestone sinks around Ocala, Florida, which are mentioned in D.C. Eaton's Ferns of North America.

Silver Peak.
Shockley's plant collecting in Nevada was the pursuit of such leisure hours as he could afford from his work in the mining firm of Shockley & Zabriskie at Candelaria. The majority of his plants were found on the wide valley floors and desert mountains within a short radius of Candelaria itself and around the springs and playas of the immediate vicinity. Ninety years ago the scene of Shockley's travels in Nevada was virgin territory for a botanist and in consequence a high portion of the plants, even though some are now known to be widespread in the Great Basin or southern deserts, were then new to science. Such were Oreocarya shockleyi Eastw., shrubby Lepidospartum squamatum A. Gray, two annuals Lupinus shockleyi S. Wats. and Eriogonum esmeraldense S.Wats., the glaucous desert columbine Aquilegia shockleyi Eastw., rare Arabis shockleyi Munz, and the small-fruiting form of Astragalus serenoi (Kuntze) Sheldon that has been described as A. shockleyi M.E. Jones. Candelaria is the type locality given for his collection of Lycium shockleyi A. Gray and Eriogonum shockleyi S. Wats. Two remarkable composites, Acamptopappus shockleyi A. Gray and the monotypic genus Hecastocleis, were among his more notable prizes. Gray listed Candelaria as the type locality for these two composites, but according to Abrams and Ferris (1960) Shockley said he collected Hecastocleis shockleyi at Silver Peak, Esmeralda Co. Sodaville (Soda Springs) is only 11 airline miles from Candelaria and Shockley collected some very interesting plants there (see page 11). Shockley's rediscovery of Oryctes nevadensis S. Wats., still imperfectly known from poor material collected on Clarence King's expedition in 1867, enabled Gray to formulate a complete description of this unique solanceous genus.
Locations: White Mountains.
In 1886 and again in 1888 Shockley was in the White Mountains across the California border, climbing in both seasons to timberline, where he encountered, among others, Draba subsessilis S. Wats., D. breweri S. Wats., Penstemon shockleyi S. Wats., Eriogonum gracilipes S. Wats., Silene shockleyi S. Wats., and Ivesia shockleyi S. Wats., all of which were described, wholly or in part, from his collection.
By modern standards Shockley's collections were small. He sent one set of specimens to Harvard, where they were studied and named by Asa Gray and Sereno Watson. Duplicates of some of these are to be found in the herbaria at Pomona College, Claremont; at California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; at the Greene Herbarium, Notre Dame; and at New York Botanical Garden. Shockley's private herbarium, said to be the most complete set, is at University of California, Berkeley.
Shockley married May Bradford in 1908. On retirement they settled in southern California. Shockley died in Los Angeles, May 26, 1925.
A very few of the species named for Shockley have been reduced to synonomy, but they still serve as reminders of the zeal of this amateur collector. There is less visible evidence of Candelaria's existence as a booming mining town, today only a few crumbling stone walls remain in the lonely desert canyon.

You've known for years that cranberries can help stave off urinary tract infections (UTIs), but now scientists have figured out the mechanism behind the benefit!
In a study published in this month's Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts analyzed the Gibbs free energy of adhesion changes between bacteria and uroepithelial cells exposed to varying concentrations of cranberry liquids. In English? Essentially, the researchers extracted some cells from the inside of the urinary tract, threw in some bacteria, doused them with cranberry juice and watched to see how they would interact.
According to the researchers, when bacteria with fimbriae (a fancy term for hair-like projections on an organism) are exposed to even low concentrations of cranberry juice, the energy levels of the bacteria were increased to levels that made it difficult to attach to the urinary tract cell. Confused? So were we…until you consider that those hair-like projections are always present on the virulent bacteria responsible for causing UTIs and not on other, healthy bacteria.
Speaking to the mechanism behind the…uhhh…mechanism, the researchers suggest that the fact that the cranberry juice only affected bacteria with fimbriae suggests that something in the juice may directly change the molecular structure of the fimbriae themselves.
Commenting on the data, study author, Terri Camesano, notes that in the case of UTIs, "cranberry juice targets the right bacteria — those that cause disease — but has no effect on non-pathogenic organisms, suggesting that cranberry juice will not disrupt bacteria that are part of the normal flora in the gut." In addition, Sano notes that "unpublished work also shows cranberry juice has potent effects on disease-causing bacteria, but that the effect is temporary."
So how much juice are we talking here? Well, according to the researchers, fewer and fewer attachments were observed as the concentration of cranberry juice were increased, suggesting that in order to "realize the antibacterial benefits of cranberry, one must consume cranberry juice regularly, perhaps daily." They do note, however, that regular cranberry juice cocktail and sugar-free cranberry juice both work equally well to reduce infections.
To keep it primal, we'd suggest adding a handful of raw cranberries to a salad (a 100g serving has 12 grams of carbs). If you're in a rush though (or simply prone to UTIs) we'd suggest opting for a reduced sugar cranberry juice – just make sure it's made with actual juice!

That's awesome!
And no I had no idea that cranberries could help cure UTI. Just goes to show that science is making breakthroughs all the time.
Very well explained. And I do enjoy cranberries, but unfortunately not on a daily basis.
Fascinating stuff. But there is one small snag: I can not abide the taste of cranberries. Well, not unless there is rather a lot of sugar involved. Too much sugar, actually.
So it is just not going to work for me.
Ah well.
You can use Stevia as a replacement for sugar without all the calories and it tastes like sugar. I cook with it.
This info. has been around a long time. I developed a bladder infection while pregnant and didn't want to take anti-biotics. I kept my bladder full of cranberry juice for 2 days–all better.
I wouldn't buy the stuff at the grocery store that is full of sugar and water. At the health food store you can find 100% cranberry juice. Mix 2-4 oz. with water to taste. Not bad at all, especially if you need it.
Yes this is one of the few things that truly delivers!
Supplemental forms of cranberries such as concentrates, extracts, and the D-Mannose sugar found in cranberries and some other fruits, also works very well. You can even find these in the grocery store now.
Every time I get a UTI I am eternally grateful that I have this berry at my disposal.
BTW Mark your website is wonderful.
Yes, it works for UTI. Not well known, though, is it's effect to Coumadin level. It elevates coumadin level (measured as INR in blood test) eradically, making the coumadin dangerous and its level hard to control. So, for those who take coumadin as a blood thinner for clots, stroke, atrial fibrillation, be careful. You may not find it in the books or any study just yet, but from working in 3 different nursing homes in the past, we noticed a big correlation. A few other nurses, the veteran ones, know about this as well.
I have tried it all and I am so happy I found your post!! Everytime I go to the Doctor they find not bacteria in my test. I am currently between insurance. My new insurance kicks in I will be evaluated for IC in the meantime I will start a regimen of baking soda.
Hi Anna, I know this post is years old but what is the book on IC you mentioned
Thanks Lottie
For all of you who cannot "abide" the taste of cranberries (love that!) or who are watching your sugar intake, which can be high in cranberry juice, there is an option. I myself cannot handle the acidity, although I enjoy the flavor. I take a concentrated cranberry capsule. Works wonders!! It works as quickly if not quicker then gallons of juice!
Cranberry is poison. Do not take. There is high correlation between cranberry intake and UTI mimicking chronic illness known as interstitial cystitis. Please read the following:
Very interesting read…I like the mention of my Alma Mater too (Worcester Polytech aka WPI)…
Thank you for that detailed advice, Anna – very helpful!
I have tried it all and I am so happy I found your post!! Everytime I go to the Doctor they find not bacteria in my test. I am currently between insurance. My new insurance kicks in I will be evaluated for IC in the meantime I will start a regimen of baking soda.
Has the baking soda helped?

Since Darin Brooks joined DAYS OF OUR LIVES in 2005, Max Brady has had his share of love interests: Chelsea, Abby, Mimi and new love Stephanie. Yet he's never had a truly meaty storyline to sink his teeth into, until now: the return of the abusive father who gave Max away as a child. So far, it's been everything Brooks had hoped for, and then some.Soap Opera Weekly: Was this a storyline you were anxious to explore?
Darin Brooks: Totally! For the past three years I've been waiting for it.
Weekly: What are you most excited about?
Brooks: It's a very emotional and meaty story. [The writers] can go into a lot of depth, because there is not a lot that's been [revealed] about Max and his past. Why is he the way he is today? Why was he mute as a kid, and all that stuff. We can delve into all those topics.
Weekly: What was your reaction when you learned veteran daytime star Roscoe Born (Trent) had been cast as your dad?
Brooks: I actually didn't know until a couple of days before he started. The producers were kind of keeping it under wraps. Ed Scott (co-executive producer), Noel Maxam (supervising producer) and Kathy Foster (director) kept coming up to me, going, "So, are you excited? You know who your father is going to be, right?" I'd say, "No, nobody told me yet." They'd say, "Oh, okay. Never mind. Just know that we're excited, and it will be good. He's a really good actor."
Weekly: What was your initial meeting with Roscoe like?
Brooks: (Laughs) Well, it was very brief. I didn't know if he was going to be a method actor who would snub me off in the halls, or if he was going to be a normal, really nice guy. The fact is, he's a normal, really nice guy. I was having a conversation with somebody in the hallway, when Roscoe walked up to me and said, "You're Darin, right? You play Max." I told him, "Yeah." He said, "Well, I'll be playing your abusive father, and we'll have some fun with it." He was really cool. A very nice guy. I couldn't ask for more.
Weekly: How would you describe Max's feelings toward Trent?
Brooks: Max's father makes him angry. He sees red whenever he's around him. Right now, I would say having Max alone with Trent in the same room could be a scary thing. Max can take care of himself now, both physically and verbally. His father doesn't intimidate him anymore.
Weekly: Have you learned anything from working with Roscoe?
Brooks: He's a man of surprises. He likes to do things to surprise you, catch you off guard, and maybe get you into a special moment or place during a scene. One thing I've learned now is to surprise him back. I throw it back at him sometimes and see what we can do. So far, it's been great.

Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!

So far the cake I have to make for tomorrow was going well till I brought out the MMF I made 3 days ago. It's tougher than tough! I've made this several times and naturally when I really need it, it's yuck!!
Is there anything I can do to soften it up so I can roll it out? I've tried nuking it, but the MMF itself is just tough. Please help!!!
The easiest thing i have done is dribbled it with water, wrapped in saran and nuked it for a minute as so. It sounds dry to me.
I'm not that experienced, but I just made some MMF today and hope I don't have this problem! I always nuke it for 10 sec at a time and work it with my hands criscoed up. It usually softens up after about 3 or 4 goes. It seems the longer it has sat, the more crisco it soaks up, but I just keep loading up my hands. I hope it works for you, but I saw that no one else had said anything yet and I thought I would try to help?!? Good Luck!
I would also add the bit of water. Maybe crisco your hands and try to knead some water in ant then nuke it. Good luck
Yes, it's definately dry!! Will try the crisco! Thanks, and if that doesn't work, I'll add a bit of water too. Thank you all so much for such fast response!!
Adding some glycerin might help to, adding some elasticity back.
Thank you everyone!!! You saved me and this cake!!!! I sweat it out for so long making cakes as it's always beautiful in my head but when it comes out of my brain, it goes down the tubes!!!
The crisco worked!! Lots of it!!! I'm only half way done wrapping the fondant around the cake, but couldn't wait to thank all of you!!!
Now I WILL get the cake done tonight!!!
It's not like I'm getting paid for this cake either, but I stress about them. It's for my daughters work as she is going back up to school tomorrow.
Hearfelt thanks!!!! Will post when done....hopefully!!!!
It's funny you had a problem today, too--I've made MMF w/out problems before, but today just couldn't get it smoothed out. I ended up adding more Criso than usual, just trying to get it smooth enough to roll out. Maybe the air is dry today? (The Crisco really helped me out, as well.)
Glad your cake is turning out alright! (Mine was just for practice, but you still hate for them to turn out poorly.)
I have a hard time imagining nuking MMF for 10 seconds..let alone a minute. I go for 3-5 seconds and it comes out perfect. After that it dries it out even more. ??
Neat cake--The color looks perfect for BBQ sauce! (That must have been difficult!)
Thanks! The color turned perfect by the next morning so I was happy. The carving, the label, everything was turning out okay till the MMF. never had that happen before, but it ended up great thanks to all of you. I know I keep saying thanks, but I really mean it!!!

Derrick Morgan Jamaica SKA,RockSteady,Reggae Legend Live Chat!
20 April 2017 Blogroll
In 1957 Morgan entered the Vere Johns Opportunity Hour, a talent show held at the Palace Theatre in Kingston. He won with rousing impressions of Little Richard and, shortly after that, was recruited to perform around the island with the popular Jamaican comedy team Bim and Bam. In 1959 Morgan entered the recording studio for the first time. Duke Reid, the acclaimed sound system boss, was looking for talent to record for his Treasure Isle record label. Morgan cut two popular shuffle-boogie sides "Lover Boy", a.k.a. "S-Corner Rock", and "Oh My". Soon after, Morgan cut the bolero-tinged boogie "Fat Man", which also became a hit. He also found time to record for Coxsone Dodd.
In 1960 Morgan became the only artist ever to fill the places from one to seven on the Jamaican pop chart simultaneously. Among those hits were "Don't Call Me Daddy", "In My Heart", "Be Still", and "Meekly Wait and Murmur Not". But it was the following year that Morgan released the biggest hit of his career, the Leslie Kong production of "Don't You Know", later retitled "Housewives' Choice" by a local DJ. The song featured a bouncing ska riddim, along with a duet by Morgan and Millicent "Patsy" Todd.
"Housewives' Choice" began the legendary rivalry between Morgan and Prince Buster, who accused Morgan of stealing his ideas. Buster quickly released "Blackhead Chiney Man", chiding Morgan with the sarcastic put-down, "I did not know your parents were from Hong Kong" – a swipe at Kong. Morgan returned with the classic "Blazing Fire", in which he warns Buster to "Live and let others live, and your days will be much longer.

Do you have a social media marketing strategy?
Do you think that just includes updating your Facebook and Twitter accounts?
How many of you know that blogging is just as much social media as anything else in that category?
I almost took a break!
Today being Sunday and all and the day I reserve for family, I was tempted to take a day off from the Ultimate Blog Challenge. You know the one. Where I'm committed to write a blog every day during the month of January.
Of course, it would be alright if I didn't blog today. After all, the day is almost over. In many parts of the world, it's already Monday! Nobody would blame me if I skipped a day and nobody would call me out.
Here's why I'm doing it:
Social media is a huge part of my marketing strategy. I do something every single day to increase my business through social media. And, blogging is one of my favorites.
Think blogging isn't in the social media realm? Think again.
The purpose of your blog is to communicate with your readers. You begin by laying out the content in an interesting way and if your readers add comments, or send e-mails, the conversation continues. It's wonderful!
Don't confuse social media with social networking!
In your marketing strategy, you need a good mix of all types of social media. This is not the same as social networking. Blogs are one of the platforms you use to get your information out. Social networking is how you bring people to your blogging platform! Make sense?
In any case, I didn't want to neglect my blog for even one day during the challenge because I happen to think I have something interesting to tell ya'll every single day. (at least this month!)
In the scope of things. . . .
It may not matter whether you see blogging as social media or not. But for some reason, I felt like setting the record straight tonight.
Have a good one!

"Holly Ward - Fantastic"
About: Hinchingbrooke Hospital Hinchingbrooke Hospital Huntingdon PE29 6NT
Posted by Anonymous
We had to take our 23 month old son to the hospital for an MRI scan following an elbow injury. The whole team across the areas that we visited were really lovely, friendly, welcoming and explained everything to us as we went through and ensured that we had plenty of time to ask questions and understood the decisions made. The play area of the ward is so well stocked with toys that our son was spoilt for choice and the quality of the toys is really good and they are kept really clean - which is fantastic. The Radiology team were also fantastic, taking the time with their valuable resource to ensure that we fully understood what was going to happen and ensuring that we were all safe and comfortable with the process. We can't praise Hinchingbrooke Hospital highly enough - they make the whole, stressful situation of going to hospital as close to pleasurable as it ever can be!!
Response from Hinchingbrooke Hospital 2 years ago
Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience of bringing your son for treatment at Hinchingbrooke- we will pass your lovely comments onto the Holly Ward and Radiology teams. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Patient Advice and Liaison Services Team on 01480 428964 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Later, he evolved into Punchinello or Mr Punch, as well as influencing and, originally, starring alongside Guignol. Although seen as quintessentially English, in the 18th century Mr Punch was extremely popular in Paris, as well as crossing to the American colonies. Originally a marionette, he later evolved into a hand puppet to reduce costs. His wife was originally named Joan but later became Judy. A full listing of subsidary characters can be found in the Wikipedia article. In his characteristic red outfit, he has some slight similarity to other 'colourful beings'.

- "The bombing of the power generator has been confirmed to be a Separatist attack!"
- ―Senator Gume Saam
As a consequence of the attack, the Galactic Senate passed a bill that de-regulated their banks, also rejecting the initiative to end hostilities between the two belligerents. The peace attempt was later formally withdrawn by Count Dooku.
- "There's a problematic situation brewing in the Senate. We must insure that everything my master has set to motion does not unhinge. My representatives in the Republic are relying on you, General. See that your droids complete their mission."
"But of course, Count. They will not fail."
- ―Count Dooku, tasking General Grievous with the assignment
However, Dooku secretly gave Gen. Grievous orders to destroy the peace process.[1]
Grievous sent in a team of Demolition droids to Coruscant to carry out a sabotage mission. The droids were able to disguise themeselves as sweeper droids. When the droids arrived they made there way to power generator. The droids were able make their way pass clone troopers.
During that time, the republic was about to vote on the proposed peace bill. The droid then reached the power generator main chamber. There they transformed into their heavily armed forms. They killed the engineers staitioned down there out. The droids then turned bombs and armed each other . The droids then went off destroying themeselves. The droid bombings were able to cause a blackout. Large areas of Galactic City turned dark in moments, and fires broke out in the vicinity of the Republic Senate Building. The senate, to insure the republic's safety, turned the peace bill and deregulated their banks.[1]
When Sen. Amidalla tried to convince them that they should reject the peace bill, most of the republic senate turned against her. The supreme chancellor tried to help her, but just then, Dooku contacted the senate, informing them that have committed their own barbaric attack on their soil, and killing the very sponsor of the peace, Senator Bonteri. Dooku then withdrew their peace offering.[2]

Deletion of Pten in Pancreatic �-Cells Protects Against Deficient �-Cell Mass and Function in Mouse Models of Type 2 Diabetes Linyuan Wang,1 Yunfeng Liu,2 Shun Yan Lu,3 Kinh-Tung T. Nguyen,4 Stephanie A. Schroer,3 Akira Suzuki,5 Tak W. Mak,1,6 Herbert Gaisano,2,4 and Minna Woo1,4,7 OBJECTIVE—Type 2 diabetes is characterized by diminished pancreatic �-cell mass and function. Insulin signaling within the �-cells has been shown to play a critical role in maintaining the essential function of the �-cells. Under basal conditions, en- hanced insulin-PI3K signaling via deletion of phosphatase with tensin homology (PTEN), a negative regulator of this pathway, leads to increased �-cell mass and function. In this study, we investigated the effects of prolonged �-cell–specific PTEN dele- tion in models of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Two models of type 2 diabetes were employed: a high-fat diet (HFD) model and a db/db model that harbors a global leptin-signaling defect. A Cre-loxP system driven by the rat insulin promoter (RIP) was employed to obtain mice with �-cell–specific PTEN deletion (RIPcre� Ptenfl/fl). RESULTS—PTEN expression in islets was upregulated in both models of type 2 diabetes. RIPcre� Ptenfl/fl mice were completely protected against diabetes in both models of type 2 diabetes. The islets of RIPcre� Ptenfl/fl mice already exhibited increased �-cell mass under basal conditions, and there was no further increase under diabetic conditions. Their �-cell function and islet PI3K signaling remained intact, in contrast to HFD-fed wild-type and db/db islets that exhibited diminished �-cell function and atten- uated PI3K signaling. These protective effects in �-cells occurred in the absence of compromised response to DNA-damaging stimuli. CONCLUSIONS—PTEN exerts a critical negative effect on both �-cell mass and function. Thus PTEN inhibition in �-cells can be a novel therapeutic intervention to prevent the decline of �-cell mass and function in type 2 diabetes. Dia

This week, Susan Grossman steps into our freelance focus spotlight. While she's a lecturer on the MA in Journalism course at Westminster University, she also runs regular 'Pitching to Editors' workshops in London. As a writer, Grossman covers food, travel and health, and her current work can be found in the introduction to the 2010 Writers' Market.
About your journalism:
What do you write about?
I write about food, travel and health and how to succeed as a journalist. I run regular 'Pitching to Editors' workshops in London, where journalists can get feedback and find editors. See www.susangrossman.co.uk. I also lecture on the MA in Journalism at Westminster University.
Where are we likely to see your work?
Currently in the introduction to the 2010 Writers' Market.
What's the most memorable work you've done?
As a travel writer, flying by Concorde to cover Aida at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor for a half-hour radio doc.
What interview or feature would you love the chance to do?
I'd love to interview someone who didn't have an 'agenda' and whose wisdom or expertise could genuinely inspire or help others.
About you and PRs:
Where do you source ideas for articles?
The news.
How can PRs be useful to you?
By writing press releases that are topical.
How and when do you like them to get in touch?
When their stories are timely.
Do you find press conferences, trips, parties and other events useful or an interruption?
Getting out from behind your desk is always useful, most jobs come from networking.
If you could make one change to the way PRs deal with you, what would it be?
Talk rather than email everyone on a list randomly.
About you:
How would you pay the bills if you weren't a journalist?
By painting portraits.
If we gave you £1000, how would you spend it?
The money wouldn't go very far but I'd put it towards designing a compulsory training programme for prospective parents.
What books are on your bedside table, magazines in your bag, or blogs on your screen?
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist. Can't say I've ever had a magazine in my bag!

Thanks for your interest in writing a guest post for Shah Training.
We get pitched a lot of guest posts, and we're not able to use everything that's submitted. We may decline to use your post because of its quality, the relevance of your topic, because we have more posts than we can use, or because we've published a number of posts on the topic recently.
We may also decline to use your post if it covers information we've already covered on the site. We're really looking for guest posts that present new ideas, fresh perspectives, and innovative approaches. We like to present readers with ideas that we haven't seen elsewhere online.
To help you with your writing, to increase the chances of our being able to use your post, and to help us get your post ready for publishing on Shah Training, we've put together a few guidelines and suggestions for you below.
In short, before you send us your submission, please make sure it:
- conveys quality, practical advice presented with ShahTraining readers in mind
- is able to be used exclusively at Shah Training
- includes all the information—links, link text, reusable images, etc.—you want the published version of your post to include
- infringes no copyright laws, either in terms of text or images
- includes a headline, body text, your byline, and an image.
Unless previously negotiated, we ask that the posts you submit to us are written exclusively for use by Shah Training. While you're more than welcome to write on the same topic elsewhere, our hope is that posts that appear on Shah Training don't appear in the same form elsewhere.
Posts work best on Shah Training that are relevant to my overall topic— intense exercise at home. Of course there's a lot of room to move in this overall topic. Anything that helps an individual achieve their fitness goals will be helpful for readers.
Shah Training readers love practical tips and how-tos. Give my readers information that they can apply to their workout plans immediately, and you'll be popular here. Even more theoretical posts that have something in them that readers can "do" rather than just "know" are good.
Topics in which we're particularly interested right now include (but aren't limited to):
- bodyweight training
- kettlebell training
- female fat loss
- gaining muscle at home
- simple nutrition tips
Some guest posters worry about what voice or style to write in. Ultimately this is up to you. We encourage you to bring your own voice to your post.
Formatting and markup
Feel free to submit your content in Word or plain text format.
Please do include everything you want to have included with your post in your submission. If you want to include links, paste them in the spot where you want them to go. If you want to use particular link text, tell us. If you want to include a specific image, send it in (see below for more on this). Don't assume we'll know what information you want, and where: tell us clearly.
A note on links to your own blog…
If it's relevant to the topic you're writing about, you're welcome to link back to your blog within the post. Keep in mind that this relevancy is very important. If we feel your post includes too many links back to your own blog, we may remove them, or reject the post. A high-quality, helpful post will get people checking out who you are more effectively than will lots of links back to your blog.
We love to include images in posts on Shah Training. As the theme here is fairly text-oriented, images add personality, break up content and grab attention. We find that posts with at least one good image gain more attention than posts that lack images.
Image Requirements
If you're submitting an image to be published with your post on Shah Training, you must:
- ensure that image is available for legal reuse (for example, under the Creative Commons license)
- ensure the image's reuse is not restricted (for example, many images are only available for non-commercial reuse; they can't be used on Shah Training)
- send us a link to the original image location online
- include in your article full credit to the image's owner (including their name and link to their site).
A few other suggestions for images:
- Images can be of any size, but the maximum width is 540 pixels.
- It's up to you to ensure that the images you submit are able to be reused in terms of copyright.
- Images can be illustrative (screenshots), descriptive (something that's more attention-grabbing on the theme of the post), or anything else that you'd like to include.
Feel free to either submit images as separate files in your email, or send us a link to the location on your own server where we can download the image. We'll then grab the image and host it on the Shah Training server (so there are no worries about us crashing yours). Please don't submit images by pasting them into your post document.
Post length
Your post should be as long as you need it to be in order to convey your message.
We publish posts that vary greatly in length. Anything goes—length isn't a factor, but quality is. Stick with your own style and voice, and choose a length that sits well with you.
All posts that appear on Shah Training are edited. We rarely edit them heavily, but we will change titles, rework openings or conclusions, or correct grammar and spelling.
Don't be offended by this—we're just trying to make every post we publish as successful as possible. We also know what generally works well with the Shah Training audience.
Occasionally, we'll send a post back to you with suggested additions, omissions, or changes. This generally suggests we feel the post could be further enhanced in ways that go beyond some basic editing.
Our hope is that we get a post that hits the mark with the readership—that's good for you as the author, good for Shah Training readership, and good for the blog as a whole.
You've worked to give us great content, so let us help you promote you. We want to highlight you, your blog, or any product or service that you have to offer. This is largely done in your byline.
Bylines should be a sentence or two explaining who you are and what you do. Feel free to include up to two links in it. Some guests include a link to an RSS feed here, which can convert well. Your byline will appear at the bottom of your post, but we'll also write a short introductory sentence that will include your main link, and will appear at the top of the post.
If you have any questions or concerns or would like to contact us with your post, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your involvement with Shah Training.

So my two friends think I like this one guy, but I don't, I like (insert his name)
they just think I don't realize it yet.
Thats what happened with who I like now. I said "no I don't like him" but now look. I am just friends with the guy they think I like. He likes someone else and so do I.
How do I explain it to them, that I don't like (insert his name) but (insert guy I likes name)

ST Fitness 8930 Treadmill Review
treadmill Doctor Note :
$3300 for a ST treadmill is too rich for our blood. I would either be looking for a discount or look at other brands.
Keep looking if the dealer holds to its price. At $3300 you can get a Lifefitness or Vision machine that is pretty loaded.
