A new UNCTAD report says that women are being excluded from better work opportunities, even as their employment participation increases and that of men decreases.The Trade and Development Report 2017: Beyond Austerity – Towards a Global New Deal attributes intensified job rationing by gender to the increasingly limited availability of good jobs relative to labour supply.Good jobs are associated with decent work in the formal sector, where earnings are higher, job ladders more accessible and working conditions better regulated. The scarcity of good jobs is driven by the prevailing global policy environment, along with the forces of structural and technological change.According to UNCTAD, excluding women from good jobs deepens overall inequality by lowering the share of labour in national income, with negative consequences for aggregate demand and, ultimately, growth.Yet increasing women's employment is not a straightforward pathway to more inclusive growth and development, the report emphasizes. "There is much more to do to reach gender equality in employment than to increase the participation of women in markets and boardrooms," said UNCTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi.The report concludes that facilitating women's access to decent employment – especially through social infrastructure investments that better enable women to combine paid work and any responsibilities for care – are crucial. Pairing such efforts with demand-side interventions, including through more expansive fiscal stances, can make growth more inclusive for women and increase the demand for labour, thereby also improving economic prospects for men.Most importantly for the long term – given the employment challenges associated with structural and technological change, and women's primary responsibility for care work – UNCTAD recommends transforming unpaid and paid care activities into decent work, and that this should become an integral part of strategies aimed at building more inclusive economies.Including women, excluding men?Against the backdrop of boom and bust cycles, austerity and mobile capital, and with women's employment rates rising, as they are in most countries, and men's employment rates falling, achieving greater gender equality in employment can become more difficult. This is a phenomenon that is not yet widely discussed and, although its strongest manifestations are in more advanced economies, it is becoming a feature of job markets worldwide (see figure).Ratio of women's to men's employment rates versus men's employment rate, 1991−2014 (Percentage) Source: UNCTAD, 2017, Trade and Development Report 2017: Beyond Austerity – Towards a Global New Deal (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.17.II.D.5, New York and Geneva).Note: The top left quadrant shows that the ratio of women's to men's employment rates increases as men's employment rate decreases.Between the early 1990s and 2014, among the 80 per cent of developed countries in which men's employment rates decreased, the average decrease was by 5.3 percentage points. At the same time in these countries, women's employment rates increased by an average of 2.3 percentage points.There are greater variances among developing countries yet more than half display patterns of declining employment rates for men and rising rates for women. Among these countries, men's employment rates decreased by an average of 2.7 percentage points and women's employment rates increased by 6.3 percentage points.Industrialization failures costlier for women than menThe hollowing out of traditional factory jobs and manufacturing communities has been a highly visible feature of growing inequality in developed countries, and affects middle-aged men in the working classes in particular.Yet the number of jobs in the industrial sector is also declining in many developing countries that are experiencing premature deindustrialization and stalled industrialization, and the negative impact is much greater on women's employment in industry than on men's. In developing countries in1991–2014, the decline in the share of industrial employment in total employment was by an average of 7.5 per cent for men, compared with an average of 39 per cent for women.Increasing the physical capital used in industrial production is particularly costly for women. With the increase in capital intensity associated with automation, it seems unlikely that a technological revolution in the South will improve gender equality in the near future.

There's only so much wanderlust we can muster up by constantly scrolling through #travelporn on Instagram and videos thrown out daily by UNILAD Adventure. Sometimes, we need to clear some head space, allow a couple of hours of free-time in the diary and immerse ourselves in a story – a series of beautiful moments, a whole entire other-world – to really stoke our wanderlust. You'll need an adventure movie for that.
But more than just watching films set in stunning locations, it's movies that encompass entire adventures and take you into an almost palpable alternate reality which will have you desk-dreaming. Through beautiful shots, undeniably brilliant direction and epic feats of movie-making, here are 8 adventure-centred movies which are sure to see you skating, surfing, photographing and travelling at high speed into your next trip. Popcorn optional. Adventure froth guaranteed.
1. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Where you'll want to go: Iceland, Nepal
What you'll want to do: Snow leopard spotting in the Himalayas, relish beautiful travel moments, and go longboarding
I honestly can't believe this movie only entered my life THIS year. A ridiculously beautiful story about the call of adventure, with a passionate undertone of photography (which ends up being the subject of the final crescendo of the movie). We can all relate to run-of-the-mill office guy Walter Mitty with his love struggles and relentless daydreaming. No-one could have predicted the ending which is sure to send shivers through your spine, have you cleaning your camera lenses with the next available cotton bud and give you an endless craving to book a ticket to Iceland with a longboard in tow.
2. View From A Blue Moon
Where you'll want to go: Anywhere remotely tropical that has a surf break
What you'll want to do: Download the soundtrack STAT, and surf
Ok, so this is a super surfer-head movie, but it can be appreciated by those who don't JUST want to watch surfporn day in, day out. The soundtrack is beautiful with highlights by Joywave (listen to Tongues!) and I can guarantee you'll be Shazamming your way through the movie, all while appreciating some seriously beautiful surfing by the legend that is John John Florence. If you have ANY interest in surfing and the ocean, you'll love the dreamy tropical locations featured and sure to feel inspired to paddle out into your next surf sesh – beginner, intermediate or experienced! All that along with having a serious Spotify download sesh afterwards.
3. Lords of Dogtown
Where you'll want to go: Venice, LA
What you'll want to do: Skate, skate, skate… maybe surf too
If you have any interest in skating or even surfing (which formed the origins to skateboarding) you'll love this film. A fictional movie that recreates the true story of the z-boys of Dogtown and their rebellious yet adventurous behaviour. The original crew who began skating asphalt banks and progressed to unruly break-ins to dried up pools in neighbours' back yards during a drought in the mid 1970s. The predecessor to the righteous skate bowl. Expect sun-saturated shots which will whisk you back to 1970s Venice along with some appearingly experimental skate moves on old school decks. If you don't already own a plank of wood with 4 wheels attached to it, you're likely to be googling it stat for your newest summer accessory. And if you're a chick, you'll probably go a bit gooey-eyed for the dreamy long-haired skater boys too.
4. Under An Arctic Sky
Where you'll want to go: Iceland
What you'll want to do: Surf no matter how cold the water, see the Northern Lights with the naked eye
Adventure. Surf. And the quest to capture a dream shot for surf photographer Chris Burkard. This docu-movie might be short at just 40 minutes running time, but it's FULL of sweet stoke. Following 6 surfers as they search for swell in the fjords of Iceland's Honstradir Nature reserrve, and facing brutal winter conditions, at times you'll wonder if they're ever going to even make it. Seeing how hyped these guys get for swell that some of us would simply be terrified to even attempt to paddle into, is enough to send shivers of joy down your spine.
The lengths the team go to is inspiring – to get that ultimate shot of a surfer riding a wave beneath the Northern Lights. It's the definition of art meeting adventure with all of the surf stoke thrown in for good measure. To fully appreciate this documentary movie you'll need to watch it a minimum of three times; once for the general story, again to appreciate the surfing, and a third time to really soak up those beautiful shots. You're sure to be feeling all kinds of adventurous after this.
And if you're not already following Chris Burkard on Instagram, start RN. The beauty and out-of-this-worldness of his images are sure to bring you adventure-spiration daily.
5. 180 Degrees South
Where you'll want to go: Easter Island, Patagonia
What you'll want to do: Surfing, Hiking, Sailing, Climbing and get wildly protective over Mother N (be prepared to be inspired!)
"The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning, you didn't even think to ask"
When I first watched this movie, I honestly thought it was just a really well shot 'based-on-a-true-story' flick. Little did I know until the end credits that it's actually a documentary film. Following Jeff Johnson as he follows his dream to climb Mount Corcovado in Patagonia, embarking on an epic journey from Seattle to Patagonia – via Rapa Nui (Easter Island) – with surfboard, journal and camera in hand. This movie is sure to throw thought provoking ideas about adventure at you and quotes you'll be scribbling down as you watch. Prepare for all of the adventure froth and surf feels. If you have an affectionate relationship with Mother N, expect a well up of emotion. If you don't? You'll have one after this.
6. Chasing Mavericks
Where you'll want to go: San Francisco (Mavericks), Portugal (Nazare), Hawaii (Pe'ahi aka Jaws), Tahiti (Teahupo'o)
What you'll want to do: Go and watch some big wave surfing IRL (in real life)
Not all the locations I've mentioned above are featured but all these locations are home to big waves. And after watching Chasing Mavericks you'll want to see these breaking in the flesh before your very eyes – and moreso see the crazy people who are big wave surfers having a crack at surfing them. Based on a true story about surfer Jay Moriarty the story follows one man's quest to feed his surf addiction and determination to ride one of the gnarliest waves on the planet. With an average 'hold down' time (that's time spent being sucked beneath the wave) of between 10 to a grim 30 seconds, big wave surfing is no mean feat. A story of friendship, love and pure surf froth, if you love surfing and surf culture, this is a must to tick off the watch list. It's one of the classics.
7. 127 Hours
Where you'll want to go: Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park, Utah, U.S.A
What you'll want to do: Go mountain biking and canyoning or cliff jumping
Ok, I think we all know how this one goes. But beyond an extraordinary story of survival and a very short gory part, 127 Hours will see your emotions run all the way from buzzy adrenalin right through to welling up with tears of joy and have you reaching for your swiss army knife and mountain bike at the soonest possibility. Directed by Danny Boyle, it's got his signature stamp on it of snappy cuts, detailed shots and a seriously good soundtrack. Whatever adventure you're inspired to go on, just don't head out on your own into the middle of nowhere without taking the appropriate safety precautions, 'k?!
8. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Where you'll want to go: New Zealand
What you'll want to do: Get lost in the bush (safely!)
We can all relate to the emotional hardships of being a teenager. And being tossed from one foster family to another, the plights of Ricky Baker's teenage years are tougher than most. But when Ricky does a classic teenage runaway he does it really well. The way we all imagined doing it; learning reall survival skills with his Uncle and his dog 2-Pac. It's warm, emotional, funny and hard all at once. And if you speak to any Kiwi, chances are they've seen this film and they absolutely love it. This movie will have you dialling in annual leave with your boss and planning your next epic trip hiking and camping in the forest ASAPs.
Do you have a favourite adventure movie?

The pros and cons of using an SAP Incentive Compensation module

and deploying this solution? How effective is the software support services offered by SAP?
Using SAP's Incentive Compensation module provides integration of data. When used in conjunction with SAP's Personnel Cost Planning module, SAP can generate budget values using the payroll data and create cost planning scenarios aligned with existing OM structure and workflow. Additionally, guidelines may suggest default amounts and/or percentages. Finally, at the end of the process, updates to applicable infotypes, such as basic pay or one-time payments, may be created.
MSS updates, such as payments in a currency other than that to which the employee is assigned, are not the same as direct master data updates, which work within the local currency. Note that SAP provides OSS Notes and configuration settings (table T77S0) switch, which are supposed to override this.
Advantages and disadvantages depend on the complexity of compensation rules, existing compensation packages, or access to data (i.e., custom portal and ability to manipulate outcomes, such as change in increases without direct connection to ratings). Managers must complete their ratings before recommended default pay increases may be suggested. This may differ from current business practice, which allows the rating and the pay increase to be entered simultaneously and iteratively.
While promotions and merit may be addressed in the same budget, SAP does not provide full integration regarding promotions -- no actions Infotype update is included and needs to be handled outside the budget process, although the basic pay or lump sum payments may be updated within the process.
Timelines and costs can vary greatly and are impacted, in part, by these factors, which you can greatly control:
- Whether the processes and procedures standardized and well documented
- The complexity of compensation packages
- The level of custom development
- The level of testing (obviously, the more testing performed upfront, the better the product rolled out)

Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland
Regional Planning Policies: Policy PSU 3 Transport Facilities
|Policy PSU 3 Transport Facilities
This Policy has been superseded by 'Control of Development in Airport Public Safety Zones' (insofar as it relates to Public Safety Zones).
Planning permission may be granted for proposals necessary for the improvement of strategic transportation facilities such as regional ports and airports.
Due to Northern Ireland's peripheral location in relation to both Great Britain and mainland Europe regional ports and airports have an important role to play in providing adequate transportation links for local industry and commerce.
Permission will normally be granted for development considered necessary to maintain current operational requirements or for appropriate improvements to or expansion of existing facilities. Development which is related to and dependent on siting adjacent to a port or airport will normally be considered acceptable unless it would result in an unacceptable loss of safety or amenity for adjacent communities.
Development at regional ports or airports which is not automatically permitted, by Classes 13-15 of the General Development Order, will normally be granted permission provided:
In the preparation of development plans adequate land will be zoned for the known requirements of the facility including acceptable proposals for expansion.
Careful consideration will be given to proposals for development in the vicinity of regional airports and ports. In particular attention will be given to:

Damsons are ready to pick now – bringing back memories of childhood reciting "Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man…." as you count the stones from your damson crumble!
We have several varieties of Damsons and they are all delicious in crumbles and pies. Damsons have a very strong flavour for their size and are used for cooking where their deep purple juice provides amazing colour and their sharp flavour provides an exciting contrast against sweet crumble or pastry.
Damsons are also great for making jam as they have a high pectin content so it sets well or try as a puree swirled into icecream ( try it with Bennetts clotted cream icecream) or even make some Damson Gin!
Damson stones tend to cling to their flesh so can take a little longer to remove than a plum stone. The easiest solution is to cook with the stones in and teach everyone the rhyme!
Happy Jamming

Matt Smith: Bike Zealot, Part Two
Matt Smith confirms what I've been saying about the dangers of riding a bike in San Francisco. Smith rides his bike from Grove St. to the Weekly's offices down by SBC Park. His commute routinely involves scary, distressing encounters with motor vehicles:
These conflicts are extraordinarily stressful, and on those mornings I find myself spending the first part of the day numb with low-level anger and fear. And I'm what you might call an ace at this: I've bike-commuted in big-city traffic for the past 25 years. So if co-workers ask me about getting to our office by bike, I feel obliged to offer caveats about the sections where bike lanes disappear into impatient and sometimes dangerous auto traffic, and about the motorists who don't realize bikes have the right to occupy traffic lanes and who drive dangerously as a result. And if I didn't tell the co-workers, they'd find out soon enough on their own.
Okay, we can now stipulate this: Bike advocates know that riding a bike in the city is a dangerous means of transportation, even for an experienced cyclist. (See also "Mission: Not Impossible," Paul McHugh, Feb. 17, 2005, SF Chronicle).
They understandably want to make it safer to ride a bike in the city, which is a sensible, uncontroversial idea. But when they argue that painting bike lanes on city streets and taking traffic lanes away from motor vehicles---as in the San Jose/Guerrero area in the Mission---is going to make it safer, they are being disingenuous and/or delusional.
Smith also implies that if only motorists knew that cyclists had the right to occupy traffic lanes things would be different. But motorists already know, for example, that drunk driving and exceeding the speed limit are illegal, and many do those things anyhow.
Smith also presents the Bike Nut vision of a future San Francisco:
What if the asphalt of Fulton Street---six vehicle lanes that border Golden Gate Park all the way to the ocean---were converted to garageless condominium towers, with a cafe-packed, San Francisco-style pedestrian/bike commercial promenade below? Next, imagine Lincoln Avenue, which borders the park's south side, being transformed the same way...At San Francisco's 2000 population of 777,000, the city was about a quarter as dense as cycle-friendly Amsterdam, suggesting S.F. could easily absorb at least hundreds of thousands of new residents, if only they didn't bring cars.
As I point out earlier (Matt Smith: Bike Zealot, Part One), as of Dec. 2004, there were 464,903 motor vehicles registered in the city. That is, most people in the city own a car, truck, or motorcycle---or drive a bus. This seems to be about the fact that our city is undergoing a seemingly inexorable gentrification process. And the thing about gentry---at least in the US---is that they inevitably own cars. The notion that the people who would buy Smith's condos in his residential highrises by Golden Gate Park---an appalling vision itself---are not going to have cars is simply not reality-based.
Those progressives who see the bike lobby in SF as a benign, win-win deal politically for the city are kidding themselves. The bike nuts are politically arrogant: Making the Bicycle Plan part of the General Plan with no CEQA review is a prime example, as is the monthly Critical Mass demonstration that is tied to no specific political goal. The bike nuts do Critical Mass just because they can get away with it, and it's evidently an effective organizing tool for the Bicycle Coalition.
And now they want to undermine the city law that requires a parking space for every new housing unit built in the city, a sensible law that deals with the realities of auto use in San Francisco. Their vision for San Francisco: residential highrises lining Golden Gate Park, along with the Rincon Towers south of Market St. and residential towers along Market St (see the Market/Octavia Neighborhood Plan).

Looking for a specific zinester? Check out the alphabetical Zinester list.
Joolie Comix
I made my first zine in college after I got high for the first time. The experience was the exact opposite of what I'd been told and I felt like I needed to put down in a comic what it felt like in case I decided in the future to do it again (fun fact: I did and now I now FOR SURE I can't handle weed >:[ ).
A couple years ago I had an idea for a zine that explored my experience of growing up mixed race, something that was always so hard to explain to people who couldn't wrap their brains around the fact I was more than just one racial identity. It was cathartic and I made it not caring if it sold or not, I just liked that I had gotten some of those painful feelings down on paper. The craziest thing that happened was when people picked it up and said they understand exactly what this felt like. I never expected to have so many people thank me for making something they could connect with, and I have to thank zines and zinefests for making those interactions happen!

No Need To Go Anywhere Else, Excellent Marketing Via Email Advice Here
With the advent of the Internet, businesses have been presented with a myriad of new and innovative ways to connect with potential buyers. E-mail marketing can be a great way to establish and maintain an ongoing relationship with customers. The information and techniques in the article below can be very instrumental in launching an effective email campaign for your business.
Emails that contain only boring marketing and sales copy are mush less likely to be read than those that also include useful information. Send subscribers information they can't find on your site. Also include offers which are exclusive for your products or services. Build rapport with your customers by sending holiday emails or birthday emails, not just emails at times you want business.
A double opt-in list is a great way to ensure that anyone who signs up for your list actually wants to be there. This may appear like an unnecessary extra feature, but this can, in fact, ensure that only those who sign up who are genuinely interested and this eliminates trouble for your company.
Have a confirmation when customers opt-in to your emails. This will allow your customer to be sure that they want to receive mail from you. Though this might seem like a counter-productive act, it will help to protect your business in many ways.
Email Address Twice
Require new subscribers to type their email address twice when signing up for your mailing list. It's common for people to type in their email address wrong when they first type it in. For example, they could flip-flop letters of the address. Getting these people to enter in their email address twice assists you in decreasing these mistakes so that your emails are sent to the right address.
Resist the urge to send your customers more than a single marketing email each week. Chances are, your customers receive a ton of email everyday, just like you. If you are sending too many emails, people will get annoyed and block these messages or unsubscribe from your list.
Make an organic email list. Buying or renting mailing lists is a poor choice for email marketing. Build your list by networking, collecting business cards at industry events, and including opt-in forms on your website. By doing things this way, your email list will better match contacts that are likely to result in returns.
Do not generally waste your time, or resources, sending out important e-mail marketing around major holidays. This is because people are usually out of their office and not next to their computers, so they won't notice your emails. There are times, however, when this may not be true. These might include emails about Black Friday specials or other occasion-specific campaigns.
When delivering communications to your subscriber list, ensure that the message contains your logo and colors of your brand. Your subscribers should recognize your branding and know that the newsletter comes from you. Consistency between your emails and your website will make your emails look familiar to recipients so that they are less likely to delete them.
Avoid using too many graphics in your marketing newsletters. Graphics can take a long time to load which may discourage some users from viewing the e-mail. Also, your emails may end up in the spam folder if they contain too many graphics.
Keep subject lines under 60 characters long. Long subject lines often get shortened, or simply cut off in the middle, by certain email services and programs. Other clients simply can not display any more characters. The truth is that most subscribers will only need to see something that short to decide whether they want to continue reading your message.
The Internet has changed the dynamics of modern business. E-mail marketing is still a relatively new way to market and every business can benefit from this by keeping their customers informed. Utilize the above tips to begin your own marketing with email campaign.

The Threadless Store
The Threadless Store
The concept for the store was to translate the online experience of Threadless into a real-world setting, while also serving as a gallery for the newest two weeks' worth of the tees released on the website. Just as new tees are available online every week, new tees are introduced into the store every week. If you missed something you wanted from the store, you could simply buy it online (even while in the store).
The architect on the project was Joel Huffman of Vertu, and overall design was a collaborative effort between him, Jake Nickell, and myself. The 2-story, 1,700 sq ft. space was demo'd and rebuilt from the ground up. All details of the store including fixtures were custom designed and fabricated. The store opened in September 2007. The images below describe some of my design and ideas for the store.
Construction veiling
This is the first thing that I designed for the store – custom-sized, printed Tyvek panels to let the neighborhood know that a Threadless store was on its way. We started generating buzz in the neighborhood and the press just by putting these up. That was pretty exciting.
Photo: jaymce2
Exterior signage
I'm just gonna put this out there: the sign is kinda ridiculous. I swear I meant for it to be more tasteful. This was my first time designing the exterior of a building so I struggled with the size of the sign a bit. I settled on a 50" tall x 170" wide logo cut out of metal, and powder coated dark blue. When the sign guy talked about backlit LEDs that matched our light blue color, we were sold.
When I saw it for the first time at night I laughed in that "holy crap, what have we done?" sort of way. Don't get me wrong, the sign is awesome – I just suppose we should discussed how bright those LEDs would end up being. Photo: Jeff Woelker
Window display concept
This was the original 10-second illustration I used to explain having monitor heads on the tees in the front window. The idea was to have the store's local community be "modeling the tees" by taking a headshot in the store. All of the saved images are then displayed on the exterior monitors on a loop. You can sorta see them in action in image above this one.
Enormous props to Threadless' engineering team for making this, and and the rest of the custom-built technology for the store, actually function. It's an amazing experience working with people who can figure out how to build literally anything you can think of, online or off.
Exterior sticker panels
I was tasked with designing the entire exterior of the store. This leaves a lot of options. We were having a discussion about whether to replace the front windows with new ones, and along those lines, the topic came up of whether we wanted to add etch-resistent coating. I started thinking about normal vandalism that happens most to stores (stickers, tagging). and had an idea. If we covered the entire front of our store with stickers, it wouldn't look that bad if someone tagged over them or added their own stickers.
Everyone in the company pitched in to apply stickers to these huge metal panels that were ultimately installed as the entire facade of the store. Photo: iDanSimpson
Entry mat
This is the finished art work for what would become the front door mat. Obviously the "in" pointed into the store, so customers were "logging into" the store. I can't believe I'm explaining this as if it wasn't super obvious. What I love about this mat is that it's just like so many other things we did, because... why not? Having fun and joking around was on-brand.
Registers and product wall
The fact that this wall exists is kinda miraculous. Before we had even decided to take this space, Jake Nickell and I came up with the idea to have a giant wall of tees that used a library ladder. We lucked out finding a 2-story space that could suit the idea.
Our architect suggested we use our "wall of tees" idea for a wall of backstock because there was no room to store it in the back office. This also allowed us to maintain public floorspace by not having to create non-public space for backstock.
It's really fun to stand on the ladder and roll from one side to the other. Which, of course... I... never... did... Photo: Theadless Chicago
Customer computers
The customer computers were used for taking a photo of your head for use in the front window displays. We built a little Flash application that made it easy for people to take photos that worked well in the windows. I'm really happy that customers were into the idea of putting their face in the window. It's one of my favorite parts of the store. Photo: iDanSimpson
Tee display fixtures
The coolest thing about these displays, in my opinion, is the tech that runs them. If you think that Harper Reed is smart, I assure you I can prove that he's even smarter. Each display is individually controlled online via a custom-built CMS. All the store employees do is update the product on the shelves, and Threadless HQ handles updating the displays with new info and images.
One small detail I designed on the shirt shelves is that if a shelf is completely bare, there's a decal on the shelf that says to ask for your size or go to the website to purchase it. Even though people were in the store, the website is integrated everywhere it can be. We wanted the store was to get more people onto the website. Photo: Threadless Chicago
Display fixture monitor
This is one of the five display designs I did. There's New, Reprinted, Regular (2nd week), On Sale, and Exclusive. The monitor at the top of each product display acts like the tee's "product page", even scrolling comments from users about the design from the website across the bottom. Photo: Threadless Chicago
Since we joked around a lot on the site, I thought it was important to carry that through into the store as well. Shown above is an example of that with the bathroom on the left and the store's office on the right. Photo: Andy Simon
Online and offline store hours
Unlike traditional stores, we thought of the retail store as an extension of the website. For that reason, I felt it was important to put the website URL with the store hours. I was pretty sure at the time I designed the store hours decal that 99.9% of the people who came to the store wouldn't have any idea what "IRL" means, but that's OK. Photo: Mr. Toaster
Fitting room mat
The fitting room is in a tight spot around a corner with no available wall space for signage. I thought putting a bright-colored mat on the floor pointing to the changing room would do the trick.
The design is based off of the button style from the website at the time. Just like you'd "log in/out" at the front entrance, you "click" try or buy at the changing room. Yes, "buy" is a bit presumptuous, but I thought it was funny.
Threadless Lifestyle Gallery
I always liked to pay attention to what brands our online community liked and talked about. That lead to the idea to invite other brands that were in the Threadless "lifestyle" to have presence inside our store for a few weeks.
This flyer above is from when Timbuk2 did a pop-up shop in the store. At the time, we were working on a co-branded promotion where we chose 3 designs to print on both tees and bags. The timing made perfect sense to invite them to be the first guest in the Lifestyle Gallery. Flyer design by Timbuk2

Holiness is not optional! To think you can live the Christian life apart from obedience is to be self-deceived. Antinomianism is the theological term for the false perception that grace does not require a life of obedience. Antinomianism is clearly a false doctrine. Hebrews 12:14 says, "Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Christians are to "strive for holiness" – it's the evidence of a redeemed life – without which, salvation can be questioned. Simply stated, holiness is about obedience rather than perfection. And yes, Christians have commandments and laws we are called to obey.
James and Holiness
The Lord Jesus' brother, James, writes about this in James 2. There he presents the argument that a redeemed life will exemplify obedient living. When you look at the life of a "Christian" and fail to see evidence of a pursuit for personal holiness, obedience to Christ, or "good works," then that person's salvation is called into question. James argues that you can't have one without the other. Paul also makes the same argument (Ephesians 2:10). Our salvation generates "good works" – or holy living – as a result and evidence of salvation. Jesus even said that you will know believers by their fruit (Matthew 7:20). In fact, in Matthew 7, Jesus makes it clear who will enter the kingdom and who will not. Not everyone who thinks they're saved, is saved, but only those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21).
Intentions of the Heart
The Bible makes it clear that this is not an issue of perfection but of pursuit. The only way we even have a chance to be successful in overcoming our sin is because we have been redeemed. It's by and through the Holy Spirit indwelling us that we are able to overcome temptation and defeat the sin in our lives. Are we always successful? Hardly! In fact, failure is going to be part of Christian living – get used to it – but don't stop striving for holiness.
Do you hate sin? Do you hate the sin in your life? Or, are you harboring a specific sin – hanging on to it because you prefer it over God? Do you have a sin in your life with which you just can't part? Your attitude about sin and your intentions in how you live have everything to do with pursuing or not. The Lord is not expecting you to live perfectly, on the contrary, He knows you will struggle to succeed. God understands that we will sometimes fail, sin, and act in disobedience. He has made provisions for that – it's called confession and repentance – but it is NOT a license to live however you choose. Of this, we can be sure.

Duh. Sure, who wouldn't? I mean, assuming a legitimate job was actually guaranteed as a result of your investment and that there wasn't a loophole or sleazy catch attached to the deal.
Significant employment opportunities are pretty hard to come by right now, after all, especially at the mid-to-senior management levels. So you'd be pretty foolish not to fork over $2,500, or $5,000, or even $20,000 for an appropriate new career opportunity — especially if we're talking about a six-figure position within the management or executive ranks. That's like 500% ROI in the first year alone!
Despite the wishful thinking of millions of anxious job hunters, however, it's not quite this easy. The "sports agent" or "talent scout" model of job hunting doesn't exist for all of us mere mortals in 99.99% percent of the professional workforce. The pay-to-play model only exists in a few tiny niche industries (e.g. sports, entertainment, publishing) that revolve around folks who possess incredibly specialized, one-in-a-million skill sets and talents. So as tempting as it might sound, don't ever fool yourself into thinking there's somebody out there you can pay to find you a job.
Unless you're Lady Gaga or LeBron James, of course. But if you are, I doubt you'd be reading my blog.
At any rate, the reason I raise this issue is that I just came across a great article today from Nick Corcodilos (of Ask the Headhunter fame) that explores this issue, in depth, and profiles the latest too-good-to-be-true offer from the most infamous of the fee-based job sites out there, TheLadders.com. As usual, Nick doesn't mince words and seems to have a slight personal axe to grind with these folks, but hey, the truth is the truth — and I agree 100% with his analysis of this latest job hunting offer and its viability. Here's the link:
The Ladders: A Lipstick's Pig Death Rattle?
While the article itself is excellent, all by itself, I think some of the comments (and debate) below the article are incredibly illuminating and valuable to review, as well. Make sure to check them out, if you give the piece a read. Especially the latest comments near the end, where another veteran headhunter weighs in to corroborate Nick's view of the world and whether there's any chance in the world that "guaranteed jobs for cash" is a viable concept.

He Joins Us; Wins $1200 Back Pay
By Frank E. Gardner
LOS ANGELES--When Samuel W. Carey joined the California Institute of Social Welfare he had no idea that he was picking a winner. A winner which would eventually pay off at the rate of 300-1!
Sam lives in Santa Monica. He is going on 72 years of age. Having a heart condition, he is in poor health and very deaf. The five dollars he gave as membership dues to get our free service was strictly a gamble on his part. He iddn't believe anything could be done. Yet he was willing to grasp at straws.
It all happened this way: On August 31, 1949, Los Angeles County Bureau of Public Assistance declared Mr. Carey ineligible and discontinued his Old Age Security because of a property transaction which had taken place several years previously.
Mr. Carey had endeavored for several months to get his Old Age Assistance restored. His individual efforts were a complete failure and when he came to us he was a thoroughly discouraged and troubled man. He discussed his problem with Mrs. Ethel Kropf, one of the Institute's capable welfare consultants. After doing the careful preliminary work necessary in such cases Mrs. Kropf filed an appeal with the State Department of Social Welfare for a fair hearing of the Carey case.
The hearing took place before a referee on September 26, 1950. Mr. Carey was so ill he was unable to attend, so I as Chief Welfare Consultant of the California Institute, represented Mr. Carey.
After hearing all of the facts in the case the referee found that Mr. Carey was eligible for Old Age Assistance and had been ever since his discontinuance. The referee's findings and recommendations were presented to the State Social Welfare Board at its November 24th meeting. The board adopted the referee's findings and handed down the following decision:
"You are eligible to retroactive Old Age assistance to the amount of $75.00 per month effective September 1, 1949. The Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County has been instructed to grant you such aid."
This means that Mr. Carey will receive $1200, most of which he owes for living expenses incurred during the long dreary months that Los Angeles Bureau of Public Assistance was erroneously denying him aid.
The California Institute, in winning this case has proved once again that organization is the only salvation for the recipients of Old Age Assistance.
We cannot stress too strongly the benefit every Old Age recipient would gain from membership in the California Institute of Social Welfare, the only Statewide organization dedicated to his welfare. After all, just where could you go and for five dollars membership get a free service which brought you back $1,200 in cold, hard cash. The only answer is the California Institute of Social Welfare, at 1031 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 15, California.

The Porsche Museum annually shows several special exhibitions on topics related to the brand.
The Porsche company has always been well known for its impressive and fascinating automobiles. This Stuttgart sports car brand has undoubtedly developed one of its most spectacular architectural projects in this Museum of Stuttagart Zuffenhausen. When they planned this sensational structure, they thought of designing a building that would reflect the importance of the creativity and authenticity that is part of the identity of their cars. The Porsche brand represents dynamic designs, and this is totally visible in this building. Customers look for something unique never seen before. In photographs and plans it looks like an impossible building, but the brand represents challenges to be met.
Upon entering the building visitors use long stairs, the impressive exhibits are more than 80 vehicles and many accessories that represent the history and development of the brand, also shows a tribute to its creator Professor Ferdinand Porsche in the 20s, The Beetle , another one of its constructions also has a place of honor in this museum.
The Porsche brand never aligns with the conventional, so the exhibition in this museum also changes constantly. Approximately 26,000 square meters of museum also includes a special work to the automobile history. Behind a glass panel, visitors can see classic porch cars being restored, or some new ones being modified for racing.

Orlando Business Journal– Now that Ocoee's old Colony Plaza is a memory, another hotel is getting ready to bid farewell to the community later this month. The owner of the 110-room Sabal Hotel on the northeast corner of Colonial Drive and Maguire Road plans to close its doors on April 10 – including the Perkins Restaurant on property – and then will tear down the building to create a new retail development totaling about 12,000 square feet.
Nick Barbato of Equity Investment Services is handling leasing of the property and said he's targeting a number of potential users. "We're going retail across the board, cellphone users, vitamin users, automotive repair or service, and more," Barbato told OBJ. "But restaurants are the main goal.

The Gettysburg Foundation can move forward with its plan to donate the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station and an undeveloped 45-acre parcel of battlefield land to the National Park Service now that federal legislation has added it to the Gettysburg National Military Park boundary.
Gettysburg's Lincoln Railroad Station is an 1858 structure on the National Register of Historic Places. It served as a hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg and the wounded and the dead were transported from Gettysburg through this station after the battle. Abraham Lincoln arrived at the station when he visited to give the Gettysburg Address.
The Gettysburg Foundation and the park will work together to create a plan and a timeline for transfer of the properties, and an operating plan for the train station. An anticipated date for public access and information center operations would be in the spring of 2015.
The train station will serve as a critical component in commemorating Abraham Lincoln's visit in November of 1863 to give the Gettysburg Address. Upon arrival at the station on November 18, Lincoln walked one block to the David Wills House, where he spent the night before riding to the newly established Soldiers' National Cemetery to give his now famous 272 word speech, the Gettysburg Address. In the tragic aftermath of the battle of Gettysburg, wounded soldiers departed from this train station. Some of the dead were shipped from the station as well. At the same time, family members arrived at the station to look for their wounded, missing and dead brothers, husbands, sons and fathers.
In 2006, the Borough of Gettysburg completed rehabilitation of the train station but had been unable to operate it due to lack of funds. In 2014, the Gettysburg Foundation purchased the train station from the Borough of Gettysburg.
The 45-acre parcel at the base of Big Round Top is vacant land that abuts the southeastern boundary of the park. Cavalry skirmishes occurred near this site and it has critical wetlands and wildlife habitat related to Plum Run. Wayne and Susan Hill donated the property to the Gettysburg Foundation in April 2009.
"There are so many people we need to thank for this, especially our congressional delegation, Congressman Scott Perry, U.S. Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey for their hard work and tenacity, for believing in the importance of this project and supporting the Gettysburg Foundation in getting it over the finish line," said Joanne Hanley, president of the Gettysburg Foundation. "We also are grateful to the National Parks Conservation Association for their continued support, and to the Richard King Mellon Foundation for their generous and lead grant, for other anonymous grants and for the generosity of local resident and supporter William E. Aldrich."
"The Gettysburg Foundation has been an excellent steward of these two important Gettysburg properties, stepping in to preserve and protect them when their future was uncertain," said Ed Clark, superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park. "We look forward to continuing to work with the Foundation and other community partners to develop both a short-term, and a long-term operating plan for the train station to allow public access and tell the important stories of the aftermath of the battle and President Lincoln's visit."
The Gettysburg Foundation has a broad preservation mission that includes land, monument and artifact preservation and battlefield rehabilitation, all in support of the National Park Service's goals at Gettysburg. Information is available atwww.gettysburgfoundation.org.
Gettysburg National Military Park is a unit of the National Park Service that preserves and protects the resources associated with the Battle of Gettysburg and the Soldiers' National Cemetery, and provides an understanding of the events that occurred there within the context of American history. Information is available at www.nps.gov/gett.

I remember really enjoying listening to Kenny Everett on the radio, in the 60s & 70s. He was quite mad (in the best possible way).
Here's Kenny introducing Ellen Foley on his Kenny Everett Video Show.
And here's the original.
What a belter of a voice she has, and what a great rock song. What fantastic sax.
There's several good tracks on that album. It took me an hour to find it in the attic.
Here she is performing in 2009.

The Roles Criminal Defense Lawyers Play
The criminal defense lawyer is more than an officer of the court and a necessary personality in a trial. There are many roles that a criminal defense lawyer plays way before the courtroom drama commences. In fact, many cases don't actually get to that point at all, and in general, that's how defense lawyers prefer it.
A defendant can tell his or her lawyer everything without fear of it being used against him or her. This is the main purpose of the attorney-client privilege. In fact, if the lawyer breaks confidentiality, it can be grounds for the lawyer's license to be suspended or revoked, and the leaked information still cannot be used against the defendant because it is "tainted" except in some circumstances. A criminal defense lawyer is still required to build the best possible defense for the client even if he or she knows the client is guilty of the crime, although they are barred from lying to the court.
The lawyer is also there to provide the client various scenarios that may pan out for a particular case, the client's legal options, and to advise the client about the best course to take from a legal standpoint. In most cases, the defendant is clueless about the law, and the lawyer is there to elucidate matters.
The criminal defense lawyer is there to defend the client, if only to introduce reasonable doubt in the case presented by the prosecutor. The burden of proof is on the prosecution; the defense can introduce reasonable doubt by challenging any statement that is damaging to the client, and to present an alternate theory of the case to that presented by the prosecution.
When it is apparent that the evidence against the defendant is overwhelming, the lawyer can take on the role of negotiator during a plea bargain. Prosecutors generally prefer to settle the matter out of court because it saves on trial costs, but the defendant must bring something to the table to justify a more favorable deal. A good Dallas criminal defense lawyer will know how and what to offer to minimize the severity of the punishment of the client and to indicate to the defendant when a deal is as good as it is going to get.Read More
Hospital Negligence: Its Usual Causes and Consequences
One legal and moral obligation that all health care providers owe patients is provision of quality care. This means timely treatment, correct diagnosis and effective medication. Besides the commitment to save lives and treat patients well, the level of trust that patients give doctors ought to be more than enough for them to live up to patients' expectations, and so provide fast and effective treatment to patients' health concerns.
The ideal, however, is often deviated from by what is real, as hospital negligence, which leads to medical malpractice that often inflicts more severe harm in patients, is a reality in the US, as well as in all parts of the globe. Every year, more than a million individuals either suffer worse medical conditions or die because of medical malpractice, which can very well be prevented from happening.
The causes of medical mistakes vary; some of these are miscommunication between nurse and doctor, not enough time to really listen to a patient's health complaints, wrong interpretation of a laboratory result, mix-up in patients' records, wrong diagnostic tests, and so forth. Some of these mistakes lead to major medical actions, like surgery, but which actually only puts the patient in greater harm than on the road to recovery.
Negligence is often the reason why mistakes take place. While others may mention overworked nurses and medical personnel, or whatever excuse one may think of, the root cause of it all is still negligence. This negligent behavior usually results to surgery being performed on the wrong patient, operating on the wrong site of the body, injecting the wrong dosage of anesthesia, and many others.
New Hampshire medical malpractice lawyers are just a few of the many highly-competent legal minds who can help victims of hospital negligence and medical malpractice file a civil case (for damages) against the liable party, fight for the victim's rights and interest and help him/her earn the full compensation that he/she is legally entitled to receive.Read More
Car Accidents Due to Driver Errors and Driver Distractions
With cars becoming the most common means of transportation in the US, their steady increase on all US roads and highways has also given rise to the number of automobile accidents every year. Records from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show, at least, five million road tragedies annually. While drunk-driving, overspeeding, and reckless driving figure to be the main reasons for accidents that seriously injure or kill innocent people, there is another culprit, which majority of drivers may not be totally aware of but are surely guilty of committing – driver error and driver distraction.
Often, when driving has become a daily chore, drivers end up becoming too complacent on the road, committing traffic violations with the excuse or thought that they are in full control of the wheel, anyway, and can avert danger in the event that it shows itself. Thus, many never slow down or stop when making turns, try to beat the red light, fail to use signal lights, fail to check for incoming motor vehicles, especially at intersections, overtake other vehicles improperly, tailgate other vehicles (trucks, worst of all), fail to use the seatbelt, make sudden lane changes, and so forth.
As for driver distractions, though most common among young drivers, it can probably be safe to say that all have been distracted, at least one or a couple of times in their whole driving career. Though driving distraction has many forms, all these cause the very same thing – take a driver's attention off the road. The many different forms of driver distractions include: looking at a map for directions; adjusting a GPS or a radio; playing the car stereo at full volume; chatting with friends while driving; taking, or having a picture taken, while driving; fixing a tie, grooming; drinking and eating; and, worst of all, texting or using a handheld phone while driving, which is now illegal.
Whether the cause of an automobile accident is driver error or driver distraction, one sure thing is that it is a result of negligence and carelessness on the part of the liable driver. Seeking the help of legal professionals, such as Ali Mokaram from the Mokaram Law Firm, would be advisable in order to bring to justice the at-fault driver and to make him/her compensate the victim for all the damages resulting from the injury which he/she has caused.Read More
Construction Sites – Most Prone to Work-related Accidents
The Willow Island disaster in April of 1978, which killed 51 construction workers who were all working on a scaffold, is considered the largest construction accident in the history of the United States. So many more construction site accidents happened before and after this one tragic event, all severely injuring scores of workers and taking the lives of many others.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics records about 150,000 job-related injuries annually in construction sites alone, making industrial jobs the most dangerous of all types of works. To ensure safety in construction sites, in particular, and in all workplaces, in general, the US government passed into law the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSH Act, in 1970 which, after a year, established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHS' main concern is to implement the mandate on safe and healthy working conditions in every working environment for the benefit of all employees.
In 2012, of the 4,175 deaths involving employees in the private sector, 806 were construction workers. The top four causes of deaths, which OSHA came to call the "Fatal Four," include: falls; being struck by something, such as a truck, crane, a falling wall, a falling object or other heavy tool or vehicle; electrocution; and, being caught-in/between.
On its website, Hach & Rose, LLP, points out the necessity of construction jobs, yet also affirms the many dangers construction workers are regularly exposed to. Thus, property owners, contractors, machinery manufacturers and all workers have the responsibility of doing their part in keeping working sites as safe as possible to avoid untoward incidents, which, in reality, can be avoided.
When an accident occurs, however, then hiring a highly-competent legal counsel, such as a Milwaukee construction accident lawyer, would be much advised. He or she would be able to help the accident victim assess the extent of the injury, correctly fill out claims forms and file everything within the statutory period.

BP Oil Spill Claims by Non-Profit Organizations
In April of 2010, an explosion caused by a wellhead blowout or a failure in the pressure control system engulfed the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in flames, sinking it and resulting in the release of 4.9 million barrels of oil into the sea. This sea tragedy, which occurred off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, took the lives of 11 persons, injured 16 others and was regarded as the biggest ecological disaster in the United States.
Aware of the severe harm that spills can cause to marine life, the health of coastal residents, and the gulf's economy, BP made an estimation that the total amount necessary to cover settlement claims, clean-up costs and other legal fees would be approximately $7.8 billion.
It has become quite obvious, however, that the settlement administrator has interpreted the terms BP's settlement agreement in a way that BP believes approves claims by people and businesses who were not even harmed by the spill. A New Orleans U.S. District Judge agreed with the administrator's interpretation, while the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined BP's request to deny an injunction on the judge's decision.
While BP has raised its appeal to the US Supreme Court, the order to continue paying settlement claims, which have ballooned to at least $9.2 billion stays. Among the claimants that BP needs to pay are non-profit organizations, such as educational organizations, disease research organizations, pildlife preservation organizations, and historical societies. Obviously, these types of organizations depend greatly on charitable donations made by individual benefactors and a number of business owners who, in turn, may have suffered economic losses themselves due to direct or indirect effects of the spill.
While it may be understandable that BP is trying to save itself from paying business economic losses (BEL) which are not traceable to the spill, authentic claimants will have to wait indefinitely until the court's decision is made. For organizations making non-profit oil spill claims, "indefinitely" can mean great harm to their operations, even existence. This is why many legitimate claimants have deemed the services of a BP claim appeal lawyer a necessity in helping them acquire the settlement payment, which they legally deserve, much faster.Read More

Title: A Most Devilish Rogue
Genre: Historical Romance
Author: Ashlyn Macnamara
Publisher: Ballantine, August 27, 2013
Source: Free for review from the publisher
Rating: 3
Sexy Rating: 5
Description from amazon.com:
Years ago, when Isabelle Mears was still a young miss too infatuated to know better, she surrendered her innocence to a dishonorable man. Though ruined and cast out from society, she has worked hard to shelter her illegitimate son, Jack. Having sworn off men in her quiet but dignified life, Isabelle is unprepared for the deep longing that rips through her when a handsome stranger rescues her rambunctious six-year-old from the pounding ocean surf.
George Upperton is a man in trouble with debts, women, and a meddling family. He is, by all accounts, the last gentleman on earth Isabelle should be drawn to. But loneliness is a hard mistress, and caution gives way to desire . . . even though Isabelle is convinced that happiness can't be found in the arms of such a devilish rogue. Only when Jack is kidnapped does Isabelle discover the true depth of George's devotion—and how far a good man will go to fight for the woman whose love is all that matters.
This book is well written, the characters well developed, the sexy scenes were hot,hot,hot and the story arc well plotted. However….I had a great deal of trouble liking these characters.
George had no sooner found out his mistress was pregnant than he takes up with Isabelle. He's all about Isabelle's son Jack with nary a thought about a son he might have with the mistress. His only thought in that direction is about how much trouble it is causing him. Isabelle is distraught about her missing son but somehow can put those thoughts aside to have several passionate encounters with George without a further thought to propriety or her son. It was as if they were tempting others to find out about their liaison. Yes, we can figure out the bad-guy early on and do wonder why intelligent George cannot.
This was an "okay" read bordering on "disappointing" what redeemed it in my eyes was the obvious writing ability of the author even though I could not wrap my hug around her plot.

The Tennessee Titans (2-1) have a huge divisional matchup on their hands Sunday when they take on the reigning AFC South champion Houston Texans (1-2) in NRG Stadium.
The Titans have dropped five straight games to the Texans in Houston, but are road favorites in this contest.
And ironically enough, the Texans are indirectly responsible for Tennessee being perceived as the better team today.
On November 1, 2015, the Titans entered NRG stadium bruised, battered, and banged up. Tennessee was in the midst of a five game losing streak, and rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota was unavailable after being knocked out of the game against Miami a couple of weeks earlier (see my last article on the offensive line).
Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, a Houston native, was in attendance with a full contingent of family and friends on hand to watch the game.
Well, as many Titans fans recall, the Texans beat the Titans 20-6 in a game that was not as close as the final score.
In fact, it was a bloodbath for the boys in two-tone blue. Especially on offense.
Houston sacked backup quarterback Zach Mettenberger seven times and hit him 15 times throughout the game. J.J. Watt was responsible for a record 10 qb hits alone, and registered 2.5 sacks.
Tennessee was outplayed, outclassed, and out-coached in one of the most embarrassing losses in Titans' history.
The next day Adams Strunk, in a surprise move, fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt. General manager Ruston Webster was soon to follow.
In her statement regarding the change, Adams Strunk hinted that the current roster was ill-equipped to run Whisenhunt's pass happy offense, and his stubborn unwillingness to make changes would ultimately jeopardize the future of her franchise quarterback.
The following offseason Adams Strunk removed the interim tag from coach Mike Mularkey while hiring first-time general manager Jon Robinson.
And the two unveiled their plans for Tennessee to become a smash mouth football team.
Center Ben Jones, right tackle Jack Conklin, running backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, wide receivers Rishard Matthews, Corey Davis, Taywan Taylor, and Eric Decker, as well as tight end Jonnu Smith were all added the last two seasons under the tandem of Mularkey and Robinson.
Players that likely would have never set foot in Nashville with coach Whiz and Webster still running the show.
As a result, the Titans enter Sunday's contest with a top five offense in yards and points scored. A far cry from the roster that went 3-20 under Whisenhunt and Webster.
Think about that, Titans fans, when you see your team run out to the field at NRG Stadium.
If not for that embarrassing beat down in November 2015, who knows if Whisenhunt would have kept his job and continued down the path the team was heading.
The Titans actually owe a thank you to the Texans for where they are today, and there's no better way to show Houston their appreciation than to put their playoff hopes in serious jeopordy with a win.
In NRG Stadium…no less.

Formal notice letter sent to Maltese Government
Today the EU has opened an infringement procedure against Malta in relation to Environmental Impact Assessment, whereby the Commission calls on Malta to improve domestic rules.
Among others, the key issues include incorrect enactment of public information and consultation requirements in the context of the environmental impact assessment procedure, and incorrect national provisions of requirements on the content of development consent.
Via this announcement, the Commission decided to send a letter of formal notice to Malta, giving our Government two months to reply to the arguments raised by the Commission. Otherwise, the Commission may decide to send a reasoned opinion.
Martin Galea De Giovanni, Director of Friends of the Earth Malta said "this announcement couldn't have come at a better time considering the current planning situation in this country. We now ask government to make this letter public in order to be transparent about the requests being made and indicate how they will provide checks and balances in order to make our planning processes relevant"
This communication was made by the EU Commission in its monthly package of infringement decisions, whereby it pursues legal action against Member States for failing to comply with their obligations under EU law. These decisions, covering various sectors and EU policy areas, aim to ensure the proper application of EU law for the benefit of European citizens.
