I want to repost a couple things from one of my blogs to another. I'm still maintaining two separate blogs and I'm not deleting the original posts. However, it was pointed out to me that if I copy posts word for word with the same titles, this might confuse search engines. Any insights? Or any tips on ways I could avoid problems?
The blog I need help with is cheapassfiction.com.

Despite the heavy greenish smoke billowing toward him, Michael Coolidge saw the pair of white socks and didn't hesitate.
The 54-year-old reached for the socks through the smoke and pulled the woman wearing them toward him and out the back door of a burning Nowthen home. Just like that, he became a hero.
His efforts during the early morning hours of Sept. 23, along with those of Nowthen resident Mark Poce, saved the life of Diann Evans, said Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart at a ceremony honoring the men on Monday, Oct. 15.
"(These men) were just commuters along the road. … They did not know each other before that morning but their paths crossed at a time when both stepped up to help a complete stranger," Stuart said. "They are indeed heroes."
Three weeks after the fire, the 64-year-old Evans remains in critical condition at Hennepin County Medical Center, according to the Minneapolis hospital.
She suffered first-, second- and third-degree burns. Without Poce's and Coolidge's help, she would have died, Anoka County sheriff's Cmdr. Paul Sommer said.
"There is no question about it," he said.
Neither Poce nor Coolidge feel much like heroes, the men said after Monday's ceremony, where they were presented the Citizen Award of Honor from the sheriff's office.
"I didn't even go two steps in. I just opened the door and saw her feet … there was no thinking," Coolidge said.
"He's the real hero," Poce, 53, said of Coolidge. "I was outside the whole time."
Both men were driving to work when they saw smoke and a glow coming from the house in the 195th block of Nowthen Boulevard about 6:20 a.m. With no signs of first responders, both men pulled over to help.
Poce called 911 while Coolidge began to walk around the house, peering in windows to see if anyone was inside.
When he got to the back, he broke through a glass door.
"At first I couldn't see anything, but then it dawned on me that I should probably get low with all the smoke — that's when I saw the socks," Coolidge said.
Evans apparently had passed out from the smoke and was lying on the floor. Coolidge was wheezing and coughing as he pulled her out the back door, Poce said.
Coolidge eventually was taken to Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and treated for smoke inhalation.
Poce remained on the phone with first responders until they arrived to help Evans and Coolidge.
Fearful someone else might still be inside, Poce also walked around the house and looked in windows.
"All you could see was a lot of burning and a lot of flames … that's where I started feeling really bad," Poce said. "You hoped there was nobody still in there."
There wasn't, Sommer said, noting that Evans lived alone.
The last time the sheriff's office presented a Citizen Award of Honor was about three or four years ago, Sommer said.
"You have to put your safety at risk to help someone else. That happens pretty infrequently," Sommer said.
"Lots of other commuters drove by that morning … but only they were aware enough to notice the smoke and stop," said Pam Coolidge, Michael Coolidge's wife, after the ceremony. "You have to ask yourself if you'd be aware enough to do the same thing. … We're pretty proud of them."

Enfield Poltergeist
The Enfield Poltergeist is the name given to the claims of poltergeist activity at 284, Green Street, a council house in Brimsdown, Enfield, England from 1977 to 1979 involving two sisters, ages 11 and 13.[1] Some members of the Society for Psychical Research such as inventor Maurice Grosse and writer Guy Lyon Playfair believed the haunting to be genuine, while others such as Anita Gregory and John Beloff were "unconvinced" and found evidence the girls had faked incidents for the benefit of reporters. Members of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry including stage magicians such as Milbourne Christopher, Joe Nickell, and Bob Couttie investigated the incidents and criticised paranormal investigators for being overly credulous, identifying various features of the case as being indicative of a hoax.[2][3][4]
The story attracted considerable press coverage in British newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, and has been the subject of books, featured in television documentaries, and dramatized in horror films.
In August 1977, single parent Peggy Hodgson called police to her rented home in Enfield after two of her four children claimed that furniture was moving and knocking sounds were heard on walls. The children included Margaret, age 14, Janet, age 11, Johnny, age 10 and Billy, age 7. A police constable said that she saw a chair slide on the floor and "was convinced that nobody there had touched it",[1] and later claims included allegedly demonic voices, loud noises, thrown rocks and toys, overturned chairs, and children levitating. Reports of further incidents in the house attracted considerable press attention and the story was covered in British newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, until reports came to an end in 1979.[3][5][6] On Halloween 2011, BBC News featured comments from a radio interview with photographer Graham Morris, who claimed that many of the events were genuine.[7]
Paranormal investigatorsEdit
Society for Psychical Research members Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair reported "curious whistling and barking noises coming from Janet's general direction." Although Playfair maintained the haunting was genuine and wrote in his later book This House is Haunted: The True Story of a Poltergeist (1980) that an "entity" was to blame for the disturbances, he often doubted the children's veracity and wondered if they were playing tricks and exaggerating. Still, Grosse and Playfair believed that even though some of the alleged poltergeist activity was faked by the girls, other incidents were genuine.[3][6][8] Janet was detected in trickery; a video camera in the room next door caught her bending spoons and attempting to bend an iron bar.[9][10] Grosse had observed Janet banging a broom handle on the ceiling and hiding his tape-recorder.[11] Ventriloquist Ray Alan thought Janet's male voices were simply vocal tricks. According to Playfair, one of Janet's voices she called "Bill" displayed a "habit of suddenly changing the topic – it was a habit Janet also had".[12]
When Janet and Margaret admitted their pranks to reporters, Grosse and Playfair compelled the girls to retract their confession.[3] They were mocked by other researchers for being easily duped.[13]
The psychical researcher Renée Haynes had noted that doubts were raised about the alleged poltergeist voice at the Second International SPR Conference at Cambridge in 1978, where video cassettes from the case were examined.[14] The SPR investigator Anita Gregory stated the Enfield poltergeist case had been "overrated", characterizing several episodes of the girls' behaviour as "suspicious" and speculated that the girls had "staged" some incidents for the benefit of reporters seeking a sensational story.[3][6] John Beloff, a former president of the SPR, investigated and suggested Janet was practicing ventriloquism. Both Beloff and Gregory came to the conclusion that Janet and Margaret were playing tricks on the investigators.[15]
In a television interview for BBC Scotland, Janet was observed to gain attention by waving her hand, and then putting her hand in front of her mouth while a claimed "disembodied" voice was heard. During the interview both girls were asked the question "How does it feel to be haunted by a poltergeist?" Janet replied "It's not haunted" and Margaret, in a hushed tone, interrupted "Shut up". These factors have been regarded by sceptics as evidence against the case.[11] Sceptics have also noted that the alleged poltergeist voice that originated from Janet was produced by false vocal cords above the larynx and had the phraseology and vocabulary of a child.[11] Maurice Grosse made tape recordings of Janet, and believed that there was no trickery involved, but the magician Bob Couttie has written, "he made some of the recordings available to me and, having listened to them very carefully, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing in what I had heard that was beyond the capabilities of an imaginative teenager."[11]
Sceptic Joe Nickell examined the findings of paranormal investigators and criticised them for being overly credulous; when a supposedly disembodied demonic voice was heard, Playfair noted that, "as always Janet's lips hardly seemed to be moving." Nickell wrote that a tape recorder malfunction that Grosse attributed to supernatural activity and Society for Psychical Research president David Fontana described as an occurrence "which appeared to defy the laws of mechanics" was merely a peculiar threading jam common to older model reel to reel tape recorders.[16]
Nickell states that a remote-controlled still camera (the photographer was not present in the room with the girls) timed to take a picture every 15 seconds that supposedly "recorded poltergeist activity on moving film for the first time" was shown by investigator Melvin Harris to reveal the girls' pranks. A photo allegedly depicting Janet "levitating" in mid air actually shows her bouncing on the bed as if it were a trampoline. Harris called the photos examples of common "gymnastics", and said "It's worth remembering that Janet was a school sports champion!" Nickell also wrote that demonologist Ed Warren was "notorious for exaggerating and even making up incidents in such cases, often transforming a "haunting" case into one of "demonic possession". In an interview with the Daily Mail, the adult Janet admitted that she and her sister had faked "2 percent" of the phenomena, prompting Nickell to comment in another publication, "the evidence suggests that this figure is closer to 100 percent."[3][6]
As "a magician experienced in the dynamics of trickery" Nickell examined Playfair's account as well as contemporary press clippings. He noted that the supposed poltergeist "tended to act only when it was not being watched" and concluded that the incidents were best explained as children's pranks. According to Nickell:
Time and again in other 'poltergeist' outbreaks, witnesses have reported an object leaping from its resting place supposedly on its own, when it is likely that the perpetrator had secretly obtained the object sometime earlier and waited for an opportunity to fling it, even from outside the room—thus supposedly proving he or she was innocent.
American magician Milbourne Christopher investigated, failed to observe anything that could be called paranormal, and was dismayed by what he felt was suspicious activity on the part of Janet. Christopher would later conclude that "the poltergeist was nothing more than the antics of a little girl who wanted to cause trouble and who was very, very, clever."[3] In 2015, Deborah Hyde commented that there was no solid evidence for the Enfield poltergeist: "... the first thing to note is that the occurrences didn't happen under controlled circumstances. People frequently see what they expect to see, their senses being organised and shaped by their prior experiences and beliefs."[4]
An article by psychology professor Chris French in 2016 described five reasons why the case was a hoax.[17]

Chocolate Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Serves 12
This rich and creamy dessert is free of dairy and eggs, but will leave everyone feeling indulged. Make-Ahead Tip: Unbaked bread pudding can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Bake the pudding according directions right before serving OR bake earlier that day and then reheat for 8-10 more minutes right before serving.
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, mixed well before measuring
- 1 (15-ounce) can organic pumpkin puree
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 10 cups cubed day-old bread of choice (about 10-12 slices of sandwich bread)
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (dairy-free)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 12 (4-ounce) ramekins or a 9- x13- x 2- inch pan.
In a blender, process coconut milk, pumpkin, ½ cup brown sugar, salt, and spices until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the pumpkin mixture and chocolate chips until each bread cube is coated.
If using ramekins: Evenly sprinkle about ½ teaspoon brown sugar into the bottom of each prepared ramekin. Completely fill each ramekin to the top with the mixture and lightly press it down with the back of a spoon.
If using a baking pan: Fill the prepared pan with the mixture and lightly press it down with the back of a spoon. Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over the top of the mixture. The brown sugar will help the pudding to caramelize on the edges.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until top is lightly browned then let the pudding cool a few minutes. If using ramekins, carve around the edges with a knife to loosen and unmold. If using a baking pan, cut into portions. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Michael Becker / FOX
Is DeAndre Brackensick one of the nicest contestants ever to appear on American Idol?
Yes! We chatted with DeAndre, who was eliminated from the competition last night, and the kid is so sweet he basically gave us a toothache. For example: Did you know he was homecoming king and "ticket-taker" at his school's homecoming dance?! Too. Cute.
The 17-year-old crooner dishes on this "happy" elimination from Idol and reveals the secret to his lustrous locks! Plus, why is he excited to go home? (Hint: he needs to rent a tux, buy a corsage and dust off his dancing shoes!)
While DeAndre won't make it to the big Idol finale in May, he does have an important event happening on April 21: his prom!
DeAndre says he's even more excited for this dance because of his experience on the hit Fox show. "Idol really brought the confidence out of me. At the previous dances I worked as coat-taker and ticket-taker and stuff like that," he explains. "Now I feel comfortable enough to go to a prom and just enjoy it. I'm glad I get to enjoy life as a kid; just the little things as a kid and then go enjoy the high life of Idol. I guess I get the best of both worlds." How Hannah Montana of him?!
Yes, you read that right: DeAndre checked people's coats and took their tickets...and wore a crown while doing so! "I was coat-taker at junior prom," he elaborates. "I was homecoming king, but I was ticket-taker then bag-checker and stuff because I was just so uncomfortable with myself."
It's no secret that Jennifer Lopez wanted to use the judges' save on DeAndre, but was brutally rebuffed by Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. Some people were surprised by Tyler's decision considering DeAndre was his wild-card pick earlier in the season. "I just think because I was a wild card I don't need to be saved again," DeAndre reasons. "This is my second chance from last year and then I got a second chance with wild card. You only get so many second chances in life."
Of his decision to sing Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster" as his last-ditch effort to earn the judges' save, DeAndre says, "I had a feeling I wasn't going to get saved. I was saved already from the wild card. Even though that song didn't really show off anything, I wanted to leave on a happy note, on something fun. I didn't want it to be something sad."
While he obviously didn't want to ho home, DeAndre says, "I'm glad I got eliminated the way I did. I went off on a good note. I went off happy. It wasn't a sad moment in the way where I had a regret or I did something wrong.I have no regrets and I did what I needed to do."
Before he performed last night, DeAndre reveals he comforted one of his family members in the audience: "I was talking to my sister because she was crying. I just told her, 'Don't cry because there's no reason to cry.' I've accomplished so much. Why be sad?"
Finally, DeAndre reveals the secret to his much-discussed hair: sorry people, but he was born that way! "A little leave-in conditioner, but it's natural," he spills of his sought-after curls. "Without stuff in it, It looks the same actually."
Do you think the judges should have saved DeAndre or did they make the right choice? Are you hoping to hear more music from the 17-year-old soon? Sound off in the comments!

Just about four years ago I posted this photo on my (former) personal blog as food for thought in the whole "nature vs. nurture" debate.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge advocate of nurturing. I believe in its inherent powers so strongly I chose to forgo a career and gave up the "getting ahead" two incomes may have afforded us–and pretty much my heart, might, mind, body and soul–to become a stay-at-home mother. Even though it wasn't–at the time–something I did very well or what came naturally to me.
Just about four months ago I reposted this same photo and a map of the northern half of England on my current blog, asking my readers to imagine the map superimposed over the two bedrooms. The son responsible for the left bedroom was serving in the England Manchester Mission (northwest England) and the son responsible for the right bedroom had just received his call to serve in the England Leeds Mission (northeast England).
As both sons left, almost two years apart, over and over again I heard the words, "You must be such a good mom."
While I appreciate the sentiment and recognize it was always expressed with love, I'll be honest. It made me squirm a little.
I'm just not comfortable taking credit for my kids' being who they are and making their own choices. By that logic, if my sons had chosen differently, would that have negated all my parenting efforts and somehow meant I was a bad mom? And what would it say about me if one had chosen to go and one had chosen not to go?
As the photos of their very different bedroom decors suggest, the truth is that I am no more responsible for their good personal choices than I would be responsible for their bad choices had they taken other paths.
It may seem a contradiction, but while I have devoted my life's work to parenting and I firmly believe both quantity and quality do matter, I also suspect we, as parents, often forget the importance and effects of divine nature and agency, and fool ourselves into believing we have more control over outcomes than we actually do.
A recent article from the Wall Street Journal seems to bear this out:
The main problem with parenting pessimists, though, is that they assume there's no acceptable way to make parenting less work and more fun. Parents may feel like their pressure, encouragement, money and time are all that stands between their kids and failure. But decades' worth of twin and adoption research says the opposite: Parents have a lot more room to safely maneuver than they realize, because the long-run effects of parenting on children's outcomes are much smaller than they look.
The most meaningful fruit of parenting, however, is simply appreciation—the way your children perceive and remember you… If you create a loving and harmonious home for your children, they'll probably remember it for as long as they live.
If you think that your kids' future rests in your hands, you'll probably make many painful "investments"—and feel guilty that you didn't do more. Once you realize that your kids' future largely rests in their own hands, you can give yourself a guilt-free break.
If you enjoy reading with your children, wonderful. But if you skip the nightly book, you're not stunting their intelligence, ruining their chances for college or dooming them to a dead-end job. The same goes for the other dilemmas that weigh on parents' consciences. Watching television, playing sports, eating vegetables, living in the right neighborhood: Your choices have little effect on your kids' development, so it's OK to relax. In fact, relaxing is better for the whole family.
I don't believe everything I read, and you probably shouldn't either. And this doesn't in any way mean parenting–particularly mothering–doesn't matter. But perhaps we would be wise to lay down the guilt trips–both the ones we take ourselves and probably even some of those we try to impose on our kids–and relax.
Enjoy the ride.
Why are we so afraid of our kids' agency? Do you measure the quality of your parenting by the successes of your children? How do you avoid beating yourself up when your kids choose differently than you would have chosen for them? What helps you worry less and enjoy the ride more?

text: enzorocket 0 Posted December 15, 2012 __hello FOC. As you can gather im new on the forum and desperately need some advice or help. My daughter owns a 2007 Ford KA, she has had it from new and up to a year ago, drove it every day. She has been away travelling for the last 6 months, on her return she tried to start the car but there was no power, no ignition, no hazard light etc. I assumed it needed charging, took the battery and successfully charged it - the charger reported charged and maintaining. I put it back in the car, attached everything as it was but there is still no power to the car, not even hazard light or central locking, nothing! I have since, taken the battery to a mechanic who tested it fine with an 81% test rating. He then attempted to connect everything and still no power. He has also checked the fuses in the main engine compartment which all appear ok. We are all baffled, he has suggested I take it to FORD directly to see if they can get to the bottom of it but thought id try the owners club first just in case someone has had a similar issue and resolved it. Would greatly appreciate any help / advice out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing better than seeing a celebrity use their success for the greater good, and one person who has been and is still doing their part is music's favourite ginger: Ed Sheeran.
Recently teaming up with guitar makers CF Martin, Ed helped the company to produce the limited edition LX1E acoustic guitars that will showcase the East Anglia Children's Hospices logo, who run hospices in Norfolk, Suffolk (which is where Ed grew up) and Cambridgeshire.
Each guitar will cost about £300 ($469.59) with all the money going directly to the charity. Ed tells BBC News, "All of the royalties from every purchase will go to EACH and I can't wait to get on stage and perform with it."
Along with the limited edition guitars, Ed has also donated a drum kit to The Treehouse hospice for their music therapy room.

Detroit Rock City
The local legends who defined the sound of the city
More News
All credit to Detroit as an unparalleled music town begins, rightly so, with Motown, the little label songwriter Berry Gordy started in 1959 with $800 from his family and royalty money from "Lonely Teardrops," a big hit for "Mr. Excitement," Detroit native Jackie Wilson. Motown, of course, launched an entire youth movement with hits by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Four Tops, the Temptations, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and many others. Meanwhile, beyond Gordy's label, the city turned out other stars of soul and R&B, including Little Willie John, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, local doo-wop legends Nolan Strong and the Diablos and the great Aretha Franklin, whose father, the Rev. C. L. Franklin, was a well-known gospel-singing Baptist preacher.

*Sold in the Asian section of most supermarkets. After opening they can be stored for several months in the refrigerator.
What types of meat can I buy in advance and freeze?
We generally cook with a lot of skinless and boneless chicken breasts, lean pork, lean ground pork, lean ground turkey, flank steaks, sirloin steaks, and (medium or large size) shrimp.
What type of rice do you recommend?
We preferred to use round-grain rice for all of our rice dishes. We also use thin spaghetti for all the noodle dishes and medium firm or firm tofu blocks.
What are some of your favorite tips?
Chinese cooking takes a lot of preparation. If you can prepare in advance, the cooking time then becomes minimal. One of my best tips is to prepare your fresh ginger root, fresh green onions and fresh garlic in advance.
Ginger: It is much easier to use a small teaspoon instead of a knife to scrap the skin off the ginger root. After peeling the skin, use a food processor to finely chop. Use a measuring teaspoon to scoop the grated ginger and place onto a cookie sheet, leaving an inch of space in between. Freeze, place ginger into a plastic bag and store in the freezer. When a recipe requires ginger, just take one or two teaspoons of the frozen ginger balls, thaw and use for cooking. They will keep frozen for many months.
Onions: Buy a few bundles of green onions (scallions), wash, trim, and chop finely (including the green top). Put into a plastic bag and freeze. When you require one scallion for a recipe, it will equal 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions. This trick is very handy as fresh green onions do not keep for long.
Garlic: If you buy a jar of peeled fresh garlic, it will keep in the refrigerator for a long time. But if you want to keep them even longer, you can also place them into a plastic bag and freeze. When you need one or two cloves of garlic, just take out and chop or squeeze for cooking.
More Time Saving Tips: Freeze finely grated orange peels and freshly squeezed lemon juice in ice cube trays. For really quick stir-fry meals, slice the chicken, beef or pork, marinade it ahead of time, then freeze in plastic freezer bags. Thaw the marinated meat when you are ready to cook and stir-fry with fresh vegetables and ingredients.

Death Choice - Poem by ramesh rai
Nothing is certain in this life
but death is certain in every one's life
it will come one day
no one can avoid
it rare comes as per choice
but if God asks me about my choice
i shall seek three choice in my life
to hug the death in my life
My first choice is to die for my motherland
which has heard my first cry
that has nourished and brought me up
with full devotion and satisfaction of my life
the soil that taught me to walk
strutting and falling when
i was caught on thee AANCHAL
and saved me from all injuries
My second choice if agreed to
i shall feel lucky
to die for mankind
to die for a prosperous world
My third choice is the death of Jesus Christ
who is alive till the planets and stars are in the sky
Because it is the death for universal kind
so it can not be defined as death kind,
AANCHAL - The corner end of Sari which is the uniform of Indian woman.

"It had been about 5 years since I had all-natural sex…it was a staggering success"
– anonymous, Cambridge
Erectile Dysfunction
"The sessions got me past worrying about performing…I have virtually no pings of any kind, no problem with erections."
– anonymous, Boston
""The work we did in your office played a huge role in fixing my immediate symptom, and also played a big role in making my marriage much better."
– anonymous, Marlboro
How I help guys get back on their game –
Logically you know you should be able to perform sexually. You're healthy. The doctor has told you that there isn't any physical issue.* You're fine on your own. You know it's not the end of the world if the sex doesn't go perfectly. Consciously…rationally…intellectually… you should feel fine. But you don't. There's a part of your mind that sends a signal of anxiety. You lose your ability to perform and enjoy sex.
The Solution
To use erectile dysfunction hypnosis to work directly with the part of your mind that's sending that anxiety signal. So you have the chance to bring help directly to that subconscious/emotional part of your mind — the part that doesn't care about all those reasons why you should feel fine. So you have the chance to genuinely solve the problem at that deeper level where it's happening.
*Be sure to talk to your doctor before considering erectile dysfunction hypnosis as a treatment option.
I charge a flat fee because I find –
– Clients get better results when they commit up front to spend the money/time it takes to solve their problem (results aren't as good when people dabble and "try hypnosis").
– Clients get better results when they're not worried about how much time they're taking.
– Clients get better results when they're mid-process and they're not worried about how much more it might cost them get to the point where they're successful.
So here, clients pay one flat fee to resolve their ED. It's one price, regardless of how many sessions it takes to solve the problem completely. 'Solved' as both defined by and judged by the client. Fees vary depending on the situation and the severity of the problem. Ideally the value the client places on the solution matches or exceeds the fee.
It's also guaranteed if a client has a problem down the road. "Relapses" are rare, but if they ever happen – whether it's three weeks, three months or three years later – they're 100% covered. The client is back here in the office and we resolve whatever we may have missed.

Survey Reveals Singapore Enforces Fair Workers' Rights: SingaporeCompanyIncorporation.sg
June 3, 2014 - Singapore
Survey Methodology
The ITUC Global Rights Index covers workers' rights violations in 139 countries surveyed over a period of one year (April 2013 – March 2014). The index measured standards of fundamental rights at work, in particular the right to freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike. Countries were rated from 1 – 5 depending on their compliance with collective labor rights. A high rating (5) meant that workers in the country had no rights to voice their concerns due to government's failure to guarantee rights.
Singapore Employment Act promotes fair treatment
The Singapore Employment Act lays down principles and guidelines that stipulate an organization to adhere to fair treatment of employees. The legislation is based on development of a harmonious labor, industrial and government relationship being the top priority. The new changes to that act, which took effect last month, indicate a more robust enforcement of workers' rights.
According to the amendments to the Act, managers and executives who earn a basic monthly salary of up to S$4,500 are entitled for a legislative protection against unfair dismissals and sick leave benefits. The overtime salary cap for non-workmen was raised from a basic monthly salary of S$2,000 to S$2,500 as well.
The Fair Consideration Framework
Singapore encourages compliance with strong HR policies to protect workers' rights and ensure equal employment opportunities to local as well as foreign workers. The Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) which will come into effect this year, gives clear guidelines on fair hiring practices for corporations in Singapore. Companies are required to play a role in levelling the playing field for local jobseekers.
For example, before submitting Singapore Employment Pass (EP) applications, companies will be required to advertise job vacancies on the Jobs Bank website managed by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA). The advertisement must be open to the citizens of Singapore, should comply with Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices and should last for a minimum of 14 calendar days.
Manpower Minister Tan Chuan Jin had noted during the launch of the FCF last year that Singapore has and will remain open to skilled workers from overseas. However, this must not come at the expense of fair HR practices.
In line with the enforcement under the framework, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and other government agencies will identify firms that have discriminatory HR practices. Such firms will be asked to provide additional information pertaining to recruitment processes, staff grievance handling procedures and staff progression strategy or risk hefty charges.
"Singapore has been extremely successful in attracting organizations from across the globe due to its numerous advantages, one of which is a skilled and educated workforce. Such a workforce requires fair treatment and a reasonable career progression in line with global trends. The Singapore government along with Tripartite partners the National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation, have left no stone unturned to ensure fair employment practices apply to citizens as well. The 'Fair Consideration Framework' and recent changes in the Employment Act are steps closer to this ideology. The rating of '3' in the ITUC Global Rights Index is a testimony to the enforcement of fair workers' rights," commented Ms. Cheryl Lee, Operations Manager at SingaporeCompanyIncorporation.sg.
"In turn, Singapore's fair employment laws could attract the best talent to companies in the city-state. Companies in search of top talent will be prompted to incorporate themselves within the island nation," affirmed Ms Lee.

Product Details
Press boxes, ride rails, and jib a little easier with the Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX Snowboard. Lib Tech's rocker Banana between your feet makes this snowboard ride like a skateboard, while the serrated Magne-Traction edges give icy slopes a buttery feel. A lightweight construction keeps spin weight down so you can turn a little easier in the park, and a durable sintered base keeps the glide going and stands up to seasons of rail abuse. The Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX Snowboard floats in the powder, blasts through the chop when the powder's gone, and then stomps landings in park before the day's over. This board rides easier and is more fun for everyone.

When I took Gavin in for his 9 month check up, they measured his head and they said it was not growing like it should. It measured 43 cm which I think is around 17 inches. His doctor is sending us to have his head checked, we already had the x-rays done, we are leaving to go to Lexington tomorrow and he has a appointment Wednesday. Will you all let me know how big your babys head is?
Ok UPDATE: Gavin has to have a MRI and EEG. The doctor said that his bones where still growing, but where he only had a x-ray he could not see inside his head. I do not know when the appointment is, but I will update you all when we have it done. Thanks for all the comments I got.
Another UPDATE: Gavin had his MRI and EEG done, they both came back find. They said there was nothing gone on, he just might have a small head, but he is small anyways. He is 14 months old and he only weighs 19 lbs.

NORTH LAKHIMPUR, India (AlertNet) – In the days of yore, farmers forecast the weather by looking at the behaviour of birds. "When sparrows bathe in the dust, it rains," they would say. But as climate change alters weather patterns in northeast India, it is changing traditional knowledge – and threatening local birds that long have helped farmers control pests in their fields.

Smartphones are changing the ways shoppers interact with retailers, a new study from research and consulting firm Accenture finds.
73% of shoppers with smartphones favor using their smartphone to handle simple tasks in stores compared with 15% who favor interaction with an employee, the survey says. Similarly, 71% favor using their smartphone to identify a store with a desired item in stock, while 17% would prefer to get that information by speaking to an employee.
"Smartphones will permanently change the relationship between the store and the shopper," says Janet Hoffman, managing director of Accenture's retail practice. "Today's tech-savvy consumer wants a seamless shopping experience across store, mobile or online at a time that suits them. Ultimately, this trend will lead to a new definition of the store; purpose, place and size are all up for debate. Already we are seeing some shoppers treating stores more like a showroom to test products and then making their purchase online."
The survey presents good news for retailers that have taken the plunge and created mobile apps. 69% of smartphone users are aware of smartphone apps from large retailers and 48% have downloaded at least one app. 90% of consumers who have downloaded an app from a large retailer found it "very useful" or "useful."
The survey also found that smartphone users would find it useful to download coupons to their phones (79%) and receive instant coupons as they pass by an item in a store (73%).
But privacy remains an important concern of consumers. 54% of respondents worry that using smartphones will erode their privacy.
Overall, though, 56% of shoppers with smartphones believe smartphones will make the shopping experience more enjoyable, the survey finds.
"The greater use of smartphones for shopping creates opportunities and challenges for retailers in equal measure," Hoffman says. "Companies need to use all of their customer information to better understand how and when their customers want to engage with them, ask them questions, or just check some basic product details. Only then can they deliver a personalized and enjoyable experience, while lessening the risk of alienating customers through unwanted approaches."
The survey of 1,000 consumers with smartphones was conducted by Lightspeed Research for Accenture. The firms surveyed 100 consumers in each of 10 countries, including the United States, France, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Japan, China and India.
