"Dip" ... "Chew" ... "Pinch" ... "Snuff" ... "Dirt" ... "Plug" ... all are different names for smokeless tobacco, a finely ground version of processed tobacco. No matter the name, smokeless tobacco is harmful and puts your health at risk. Chew on these facts (Don't believe it? Talk to dentists):
Smokeless tobacco has been glorified over time by images of "macho" men performing feats of fame and prowess, whether as athletes, rodeo cowboys, or country music stars. In reality, many want to kick the habit, but nicotine is addictive. It's hard for them to quit.
In a survey of major league baseball players, more than a third reported they had mouth sores, white patches, or gum problems. Nearly 60% said they wanted to quit. The nicotine actually decreases performance, causing dizziness and slowed reaction time.
Smokeless tobacco causes problems for your oral health:
Additionally, smokeless tobacco can affect your general health causing:
If you use smokeless tobacco, chew all these facts over. Choose to quit. Your health is serious business. Talk to dentists about getting help to quit. Make the right choice -- it's for your body, your health, and maybe even your life.

Flex ComboBox Validator
Foray into Flex – ComboBox Validator
Flex 3.0 does not have a built in validator for combo boxes in flex forms. I found this action script that can validate a combo box or a check box in a flex form.
3// Validates anything against anything, really.
4// Please maintain @author tag.
5// @author Roger Braunstein | Your Majesty Co | 2007
7package com.business.validators
9 import mx.validators.ValidationResult;
10 import mx.validators.Validator;
12 public class ComboValidator extends Validator
13 {
14 //You may either accept certain values and reject all others,
15 //or reject certain values and accept all others.
16 //We're too lazy to make sure you don't specify both, but don't.
18 [Inspectable]
19 public var acceptedValues:Array = null;
21 [Inspectable]
22 public var rejectedValues:Array = null;
24 [Inspectable]
25 public var errorMessage:String = "Invalid option selected";
27 public function ComboValidator()
28 {
29 super();
30 }
32 override protected function doValidation(value:Object):Array
33 {
34 var results:Array = super.doValidation(value);
36 var invalid:Boolean = false;
37 if (acceptedValues)
38 {
39 if (acceptedValues.indexOf(value) == -1) invalid = true;
40 } else if (rejectedValues) {
41 if (rejectedValues.indexOf(value) != -1) invalid = true;
42 }
44 if (invalid)
45 {
46 results.push(new ValidationResult(true, "", "", errorMessage));
47 }
49 return results;
50 }
51 }
Note that you will have to change the mapping to exactly where you place this script:
Your mxml file will look similar to this (hopefully – after all, this is just for reference):
2<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
3 xmlns:view="com.view.RequestInfoViews.*"
4 xmlns:ComboValidate="com.business.validators.*"
5 horizontalAlign="center" borderAlpha="0.8"
6 title="Coupon Book Request"
7 xmlns:mate="http://mate.asfusion.com/"
8 showCloseButton="true"
9 close="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this)">
Notice that the .as is named "ComboValidate", you may have a better naming convention, I'm just being overly descriptive. xmlns:ComboValidate="com.business.validators.*" It also names the directory location explicitly, "com.business.validators".
Heres the flex combo box for State in my form:
2 <mx:GridItem>
3 <mx:Text text="State:"/>
4 </mx:GridItem>
5 <mx:GridItem horizontalAlign="right">
6 <mx:ComboBox width="160" id="CouponState" dataProvider="{stateData}"/>
7 </mx:GridItem>
In my flex form, I'm validating several fields. I just add the following to my Validator array:
ComboValidate – from the TitleWindow reference (if that's what you call it in Flex)
ComboValidator – the name of my ActionScript file in the ComboValidate referenced directory
Id – whatever you want to call it, it doesn't seem to matter, though I'd stay away from reserved words (didn't test that) and keep it similar to your form field
Source – matches the ComboBox Id
Property – which property/attributes of the Flex ComboBox we are checking/validating
rejectedValues – the index in the array we do not want. In this case it's [0] because we want them to select something, the zero index indicates they have not.
Thanks to Roger Braunstein for writing and publishing this ActionScript validation tool. It was very helpful for someone who is just getting into Flex.

Winemaker's Notes
2017 Riesling
Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Best's 'Nursery Block' vineyard in the 1860s. From subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978, Riesling has become a significant part of our regime. The Riesling vines from Great Western produce flavorsome, elegantly structured, spectacularly age-worthy Rieslings which stand confidently alongside some of the most outstanding Australian examples of the variety. In recent times, the style has evolved to match the continental climatic conditions to a beautifully balanced wine with texture and aromatics.
Region: Great Western, Victoria
Grape Variety: 100% Riesling
Alcohol: 11%
Winemaker: Justin Purser
Color: Pale straw with green and silver hints
Bouquet: Lifted aromas of kaffir lime, guava and jasmine with a background of red apple and lime zest..
Palate: Fine lime flavours with a mouth coating texture and a fresh and lingering steely finish.
Cellaring: The Rieslings of Best's have a proven ability to mature gracefully for 20 years or more. This example is no exception and its youthful freshness is a good sign for its long life in the cellar. It will gather complex toasty aromas and flavors as the years pass. Enjoy with fish and chips by the sea in summer or a spicy fish curry by a fire in winter.
Vintage: Fantastic winter rains set the vineyards up for ideal spring growing conditions that saw great flowering and fruit set. The mild summer conditions and long ripening period (with some timely small rain events) ensured that the fruit matured in near perfect conditions for harvest. 2017 is a classic vintage that has more resemblance to those of the 80s and 90s than the vintages of this century.
Australian Wine Companion – "Bright straw-green, fuller than many of its vintage peers. The length of the palate is exceptional, as is the fluid line of the intertwined citrus fruit and acidity, lime and Meyer lemon fruit. The result is a riesling that will be drunk before its due time, and I would be happy to join forces tonight." (95 Pts)
James Suckling – "Another floral riesling showing lots of acacia, honeysuckle and cherry blossoms. Medium-bodied with some fleshy tropical and stone fruit, which are delivered in quite a friendly manner across a bed of steely acidity and right through to the tangy finish." (93 Pts)

If you need to attract younger women, strive at just as one attractive older man.
So to any extent further when you date online, make use of this test to choose whether or not to initiate or get involved in talking to someone.

A lot of guys experience the same problem: They feel great whether they have a great girlfriend and so they feel sick if they are single. They Get Laid Game would go out to a bar and try to pick up girls of course, if they went home alone, they'd be unsatisfied. As a result, they'd become even needier and even have success a lot more. This will bring about approach anxiety and bad interactions - being fearful of losing her before they can got her.
So instead I lean back from my laptop, breathe your day, and say in a very nice loud friendly voice "What a day huh..." She looks up and smiles. I say "It's great Getting Laid that we can perform our work outside today. So many people are trapped in their cubicles."
Apart from your obvious damage these occasions cause for the innocent participant in the date, the recounting of the story creates another issue. Often, when these stories are recounted third and fourth hand, they deteriorate and worse inside the telling. Unfortunately they're able to leave other people (the ones hearing the tales) scared to date, afraid to look out and meet new people. The loneliness this leads to for these people then becomes an added trouble for the one sustained about the date.
Internet dating hasn't been so easy and finding your prince charming is simply a close this article. By uploading images and writing a small brief about yourself, hobbies and passions and also what you will be searching for, you can start to get compatible partners among others that share your interests locally. Whether it's a new friendship or a relationship you are searching for, there are lots of men available seeking exactly the same thing.

So that's all, a few crucial elements to online dating services.

- 1X 1k resitor
- 1X photoresistor
- 1X laser
- 1X Arduino (any board)
- 1X breadboard
- 1+ jumper wires
Things you may want to add:
- siren light
- relay to control any thing
- mirrors
Step 1: Breadboard:
First make sure your Arduino is turned OFF.
Plug two jumper wires into the power row on the breadboard, plug one end of the Buzzer into GND and the other into Pin 7.
The led is plugged into GND and Pin 13 with a 1K resistor and the Photoresistor into GND and the other end has a 10K resistor is plugged into 5v.
Then plug in a jumper wire from the same pin were the Photoresistor and 10K resistor meet into Pin AO.
Step 2: Upload Code to Arduino
Plug your board into your computer and upload.
You may need to adjust the code to work with your lighting.
Step 3: Things You May Want to Add
Siren light:
Take your light apart and remove all unneeded things inside and glue an LED in and plug the wires into were it was before.
Plug your relay into GND, 5v and Pin12
The code for relay and a servo is above
Place the laser some were then place a mirror were the laser shines and do this till you like it, But make sure to aim it at the Photoresistor at the end.
Step 4: Setup
Place the laser some were and aim it at the Photoresistor.
Turn one your Arduino and your done!

Can I use an IR photodiode
Is the relay optional.
Yes, the relay(s), mirror(s) and light(s) are optional
i cant upload th code
Try copying & pasting this:
//Laser Tripwire sketch
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
int Servoval;
#define LED 13 //LED is connected to pin 13
#define Buzzer 7 //Buzzer is connected to pin 7
#define Sensor 0 //Photoresistor is connected to pin 0
int val = 0; //val is used to store state of input pin
void setup() {
myservo.attach(9);// plug the servo into digital 9
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT); //sets digital pin as output
pinMode(Buzzer, OUTPUT); //sets digital pin as output
pinMode(Sensor, INPUT); //sets analog pin as input
void loop() {
val = analogRead(Sensor); //read input value of sensor and store it
if (val<5) // if the sensor goes below 100...
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); //turn off LED
digitalWrite(Buzzer, LOW); //turn off buzzer
else if (val>10)
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); //else, keep LED on
digitalWrite(Buzzer, LOW); //else, keep Buzzer on
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
digitalWrite(Buzzer, HIGH);
digitalWrite(Buzzer, LOW);
Where is the code may I ask?
The code is an Arduino file on step 2
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing! Anything with lasers is awesome!

I had a big sort-out of my room the other day. I threw a lot of stuff out, built some new shelves, filed things, and generally turned my desk area into somewhere I can actually work.
The best thing about a tidy-up is the things you dig up. I found a copy of an old Marie Claire Idées on my bookshelf, started flicking through it to decide whether or not I should keep it, and found a recipe for Tian de tomates, courgettes et Sainte-Maure. I had some courgettes in the fridge needing to be used up, and a friend about to visit, so I thought it would make a lovely meal. Sainte-Maure is a little difficult to find in London so I used a Somerset goat's cheese instead.
My friend Pip loved it so much she has been pestering me for the recipe, so here it is!
Serves 4
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 1 hour 15 minutes
6 tomatoes (small, or 5 larger tomatoes – I didn't use all the tomatoes)
2 courgettes
1 Sainte-Maure goat's cheese, or substitute this with a British goat's cheese like I did
4 sprigs of thyme
4 cloves of garlic
100ml olive oil (I don't think I used this much)
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Chop the tomatoes, courgettes and cheese into rounds about 3mm thick. Finely slice the garlic. Oil the dish, then arrange the vegetables and cheese in the dish, alternating them. Put the sliced garlic between the vegetables. Pour some more olive oil over the top, sprinkle with thyme and put in the oven.
The tian is cooked when the courgettes are translucent and soft. Let it cool for a bit before serving. I recommend serving it with a crusty baguette.
Also, if anyone knows where I can get Marie Claire Idées in London please let me know!

Congressman Burgess: The Question of Abortion, Sometimes Reduced to Yet Another Political Issue to Debate, is Personal for Me
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Republican Leader of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health prepared the following opening remarks for Wednesday's hearing on Protecting Women's Access to Reproductive Health Care.
As Prepared for Delivery
Thank you, Madam Chair. Today's hearing is an unfortunate indication of where the Democratic party is headed. While the policy concerns surrounding abortion and a right to life are not new, a bill such as H.R. 2975, with over 200 members of the Democratic party in support, is unprecedented. This bill transcends pro-life and pro-choice.
The question of abortion, sometimes reduced to yet another political issue to debate, is personal for me. My belief in the right to life has influenced my professional career for much longer than my time in Congress. In fact, it's been a lifetime. Before being elected to represent the 26th District of Texas, I spent almost three decades practicing as an OB/GYN in North Texas. My medical career was rooted in my pro-life practice and the belief that all life has meaningful potential.
In the span of my obstetrics career, I delivered more than 3,000 babies. Not only did I have the joy of seeing these babies when they were delivered, but throughout my career I witnessed great advances in the technology that allowed doctors and parents to see these children developing in the womb. For those of us who have watched a baby squirm and kick during a sonogram, there is no question about the sanctity of life.
While my work has changed through the years – I now spend late nights delivering policy rather than babies – my dedication to pro-life medicine remains steadfast.
Ironically, this bill is called the Women's Health Protection Act of 2019, even though, if this bill became law, it would put women's health and safety at risk. The heavy-handed language used in this bill puts women at risk.
By codifying that there may be no restrictions or prohibitions on particular abortion procedure prior to viability, women may be placed at risk of a number of potential harms associated with certain abortion procedures such as infection, bleeding, or uterine perforation, without the ability to be regulated for safety purposes.
Not only does this bill raise questions about the Democrats' concern for women's health and safety, it also raises questions about the regard for the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court established the viability test in Roe v. Wade in 1971. This standard says that once a baby reaches the point of "viability," a state may regulate or prohibit abortions.
In Roe v. Wade, Justice Blackmuns' opinion states that viability is usually placed at about seven months – or 28 weeks – but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks. In 1973, a viable baby being born at 24 weeks was something to hope for in the future.
The youngest baby I delivered was at 23 weeks. Last week, at the State of the Union, President Trump recognized a young girl and her mother in the crowd. This young girl, Ellie Schneider, was born severely premature at 21 weeks. Ellie is one of the youngest babies to survive in the US and she is now a happy and healthy two-year-old. As an OB/GYN it is incredible to see the medical advances saving the lives of mothers and babies.
As the viability of a baby occurs earlier with the help of medical innovation, the Roe v. Wade standard inherently extends the rights of states to regulate earlier in a pregnancy term. A bill like this seeks to override and dismiss the viability standard set by the Supreme Court in the wake of medical advances that are saving babies lives.
This bill would codify into law that access to an abortion is essential to women's health. This is contrary to the US Constitution, which is very clear when it guarantees a right to life.
The federal government should work to overcome the factors that lead to abortions and should support well-crafted legislative proposals that directly address these factors. That is not this bill.
I am a physician, but most Members of Congress are not. For me, this bill crosses a line into dictating the practice of medicine, which is uncomfortable and threatening to health care practitioners and hospitals across the country.
I yield back.

Zechariah 1 New International Version (NIV)
A Call to Return to the Lord
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo:
2 "The Lord was very angry with your ancestors. 3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Return to me,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'and I will return to you,' says the Lord Almighty. 4 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.' But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors?
"Then they repented and said, 'The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.'"
The Man Among the Myrtle Trees
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo.
8 During the night I had a vision, and there before me was a man mounted on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.
9 I asked, "What are these, my lord?"
The angel who was talking with me answered, "I will show you what they are."
10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, "They are the ones the Lord has sent to go throughout the earth."
11 And they reported to the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, "We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace."
12 Then the angel of the Lord said, "Lord Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?" 13 So the Lord spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.
14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, "Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, 15 and I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they went too far with the punishment.'
16 "Therefore this is what the Lord says: 'I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem,' declares the Lord Almighty.
17 "Proclaim further: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.'"
Four Horns and Four Craftsmen
18 Then I looked up, and there before me were four horns. 19 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these?"
He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem."
20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 I asked, "What are these coming to do?"
He answered, "These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people."[a]

Zechariah 1 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

The Finnish software company specializing in Artificial Intelligence and software for autonomous vehicles, has won a tender for Efficient Flow, an international sea traffic management digitalisation project.
"The purpose of the Ship and Port ICT solution is to streamline and simplify the port actors' operations and also to get a digital communication channel to vessels. In connection to this, hinterland operations will be connected to see how they could benefit from the information sharing and vice versa," Anders Berg, Project Manager, Swedish Maritime Administration (the organisation leading the Efficient Flow project), explained.
He added, "One basic principle of the Ship and Port ICT solution will be that port actors share their estimated and actual times regarding certain states - mainly ETAs, ETDs, and TDs - in the port call process as a minimum set of data."
"Unikie is very proud about winning this open tender. A chance to design and create new state-of-art solution using open source from scratch will provide scalable, cost effective and robust solution for Ports in Sweden and Finland, today and tomorrow," Jussi Mäntynen, General Manager, Unikie, also said.
Esko Mertsalmi, CEO, Unikie, also highlighted, "The digitalization of ports is the future. With our ICT solution, shipping and ports are taking a big step in digitalisation by uniting key players. If this development project succeeds, the solution will be ready to be implemented in other ports throughout the Nordic countries as well."

Nygard Cay Also Part Of Review Bid
By SANCHESKA BROWN
Tribune Staff Reporter
AN ENVIRONMENTAL group has filed an action in the Supreme Court, seeking a judicial review to stop the dredging at Nygard Cay.
The action was filed by Callenders law firm on behalf of Save the Bays, formerly Coalition to Protect Clifton Bay, the new umbrella organisation. Respondents include several government departments, the Town Planning Committee, Peter Nygard and Mr Nygard's associate, former ambassador to the environment Keod Smith.
The coalition has claimed that work carried out at Simms Point/Nygard Cay, which doubled the size of the area since it was purchased by fashion mogul Peter Nygard, has damaged areas of Clifton Bay, including Jaws Beach.
They have previously called for the government to step in and protect the delicate, environmentally significant area.
Fred Smith, QC, said the judicial review is on the basis that Save the Bays represents the collective interests of persons committed to protecting Clifton Bay and other parts of The Bahamas of particular environmental interest.
"In a nutshell, the judicial review seeks to determine whether the rule of law applies in The Bahamas or not," he said.
In addition to a judicial review, the action seeks an interim injunction restraining Nygard and Smith from continuing what it claimed was "unauthorised construction and dredging."
It also alleges that Nygard and Smith are trespassing on Crown land. Specifically, it cites construction of a groyne, dredging of the seabed, demolition of an existing dock at Jaws Beach, construction of a new dock on the sea bed and beach and the placement of large boulders on the western edge of the public boat ramp at Jaws Beach.
The suit alleges that the works being carried out "without the requisite permits and approvals constitute offences under the Planning and Subdivision Act, the Building and Regulation Act and the Coast Protection Act."
Initially called the Coalition to Protect Clifton Bay, the organisation announced its name change to Save the Bays in early May to avoid confusion with the original coalition to save the historic area east of Lyford Cay for the Bahamian public when it was the target of developers some 14 years ago. At that time, the coalition called for the creation of a land and sea park but only the land park was created. The original coalition continues to call for the sea park and has expressed concern about activities at Nygard Cay. With many of the same supporters in both organisations, Save the Bays is also urging passage of a Freedom of Information Act and an Environmental Protection Act.

Dismissal of an employee by text message (or email)
Published: 20 August 2019
Dismissing an employee can be difficult in any circumstances, which is likely why there is a developing trend of dismissing employees in a non-confrontational way such as text message or email. However, all members should take note that dismissal by text message (and even email) is deemed to be inappropriate by the Fair Work Commission. Any employer who seeks to dismiss an employee by text message may be exposed to an unfair dismissal claim by the employee.
The Fair Work Commission has recently handed down two significant decisions on the dismissal of employee's by text message. These decisions are briefly set out below:
- Van-Son Thai v Email Ventilation Pty Ltd [2019] FWC 4116 (27 June 2019)
Mr Van-Son Thai had been employed by Email Ventilation Pty Ltd for 12 years and was requested by his employer to work the same hours that he was currently working with a paycut of 22%. Mr Thai refused the lower rate of pay and immediately left the workplace.
Following Mr Thai's exit, Mr Thai received a text message from his employer stating:
Effective immediately I give notice of termination of your employment, please note you are required to work your notice period.
Please note that your (sic) are entitled to 4 to 5 weeks of employment termination notice period'.
In considering his decision, Deputy President Sams said that "It is not the first time I have had cause to point out that informing an employee of their dismissal by phone, text or email is an inappropriate means of conveying a decision, which has such serious ramifications for an employee. I consider it would only be in rare circumstances that a decision to dismiss an employee should not be conveyed in person.
- Kurt Wallace v AFS Security 24/7 Pty Ltd [2019] FWC 4292
Mr Kurt Wallace was employed by AFS Security 24/7 Pty Ltd for just over two years as a casual Security Guard. Following some short communication (via text message) regarding Mr Wallace's rostering arrangements, on 5 February 2019, the employer sent a text message to Mr Wallace as follows:
Effective immediately we no longer require your services as a casual patrol guard with AFS Security.
In handing down a decision, Commissioner Cambridge stated that "Notification of dismissal should not be made by text message or other electronic communication. Unless there is some genuine apprehension of physical violence or geographical impediment, the message of dismissal should be conveyed face to face. To do otherwise is unnecessarily callous. Even in circumstances where text message or other electronic communications are ordinarily used, the advice of termination of employment is a matter of such significance that basic human dignity requires that dismissal be conveyed personally with arrangements for the presence of a proper support person and documentary confirmation".
Take home message
Section 117 of the Fair Work Act 2009 provides that an employer must give written notice of termination to an employee by:
- delivering it personally; or
- leaving it at the employee's last known address; or
- sending it by pre-paid post to the employee's last known address.
Employers should ensure that:
- any dismissal is communicated with the employee face to face, with written notice immediately provided to the employee;

We are Kenny, Jared, Justin and Geoff and we are Sacramento Gear. As lifelong friends, we have memories together cheering on the Kings at Arco Arena, eating hotdogs at Raley Field and spending all our money in Footlocker at Arden Fair Mall.
As often as we can, our crew meets up to catch a game at Golden 1. At a game in 2017, something caught our attention. While we saw most people wearing some type of Kings gear, we also noticed a lot of people rocking gear with other logos - there wasn't a unifying logo for the city we love.
The majority of large cities have iconic logos. When you see the "NY" Yankees logo, it's a symbol of New York City. That blue dodgers hat has become iconic to the city of Los Angeles, and the "SF" for San Francisco. So why doesn't Sactown have an "S" logo of our own? We immediately started brainstorming around this idea to create a logo that the city can wear with pride.
After sketching some designs, we realized that the map of California nests perfectly in the S for Sacramento; an emblem that would allow our community to show their hometown and state wide pride. From that moment on, we knew we had something special and began the 2 year journey to build a brand that symbolizes "Sacramento Proud." Our goal is to make this "S" the official logo of Sacramento; a symbol of pride for our city.
This brand was created for you and the individuals that represent our great city. Have an idea for a product? Want to see us at an event? Feel like we should partner with your business? Below is our contact information, please reach out, we want to hear from you!

Andrew C. Joseph Sr.
Last updated 9/20/2017 at 10am
Andrew (Andy) Charles Joseph Sr., whose Indian name is En Ca's Boosman, died at age 81 on Thursday, September 7, 2017. Andy had been a patient in the Coulee Medical Center for the past year, fighting complications stemming from cancers and related stroke conditions.
Andy was orphaned early in life and was raised by elders in Chesaw, Washington. He attended Chemawa Indian School. Andy enlisted in the U.S. Army and expected to serve in the Korean conflict. However, in preparing for the overseas deployment, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and, like several Natives, landed in Cushman Hospital on the Puyallup Indian Reservation. There, he became friends with Ronald Friedlander, meeting and marrying his sister, Geraldine Friedlander (Gabriel).
Andy was part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs relocation program in Portland, Oregon. Subsequently, he became a civil servant working on the USS Kittyhawk and on submarines.
In 1968, Aunt Lucy Covington urged him to return home to join her in the fight against termination as a Nespelem Council Representative. Fortunately, they were successful and Andy began the first of 10 two-year terms representing the Nespelem District. Andy served as Vice-Chairman of the Business Council and chaired the Planning Committee, setting the course for many exciting enterprise developments.
Andy was an eloquent statesman, speaking the Okanagon language and eventually writing his own story, published as "The Country of Sen-om-tuse (sn?amtus): Growing Up the Traditional Colville-Okanogan Way." He also managed the Colville Tribal Museum, the Tribes Area Office on Aging, and the Community Action Program. Statewide, he is credited with advocating for the enactment of a law making grave robbery a felony offense. Andy served on the Paschal Sherman School Board and the Intermountain BIA Indian School Board. Regionally, he served on the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board and was the Northwest representative for the National Indian Council on Aging.
On a global basis, Andy traveled to Japan on a tribal delegation with Northwest tribes and made pilgrimages to Medjugorge, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Rome, Italy; Jerusalem, Israel; and Mexico City, Mexico; as well as other well-known sacred sites in the United States to pray for world peace with the Catholic Church. In the past 41 years, Andy's constant companion was his wife, Gloria Friedlander Joseph.
Andy Joseph Sr. is survived by three sons: Andy Jr. (Lori), Monte (Debbie) and Michael; three daughters: Yvette, Jennifer and Monica; 20 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. He loved his stepchildren as well, including: Steve, Scott, Ernie, Stephanie, Sally, and Shawnee Haugen.
There are many friends and family that Andy leaves behind. He remained steadfast friends with his fellow Tribal Council, loved his Cursillo family at both the Keller and Sacred Heart Church in Nespelem, and enjoyed his allies at the local senior citizen centers.
The Joseph family would like to express their gratitude to the outstanding nursing home staff at Coulee Medical Center, Brewster's Harmony House and St. Luke's Hospital. Memorial donations can be made in Andy's behalf to the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, P.O. Box 70, Keller, Washington 99140.
