Breach of Employment Agreement
Locate a Local Employment Lawyer
What Is an Employment Agreement?
An employment agreement is a legal agreement between an employee and their employer regarding the terms of the agreement. It creates a legally binding contract between the worker, and is generally written and signed in order to be effective. A typical employment agreement will address issues such as:
- Names, contact information, and other identifying information of the parties involved
- The nature and purpose of the employment arrangement
- Payment of wages (amount and frequency; specific pay dates)
- Whether any benefits are available to the worker
- Information regarding advancements and promotions
- How long the arrangement will last
- Procedures for termination or retirement
Many employers use standard employment contracts, especially if they will be hiring a large number of workers performing relatively similar tasks. On the other hand, individual employment agreements can be created for situations involving unique needs.
What Is a Breach of Employment Agreement?
A breach of an employment contract can occur whenever either party fails to perform their duties under the contract terms. For instance, the employer may be liable for a breach if they fail to pay wages as stated in the contract, or if they deny the employee any benefits that they are entitled to. Another common breach of employment agreement is where the employer terminates the worker in an incorrect way.
For employees, a breach can occur if they seek to find employment elsewhere before the contract terms are up. Alternatively, they might be liable for a breach if they disclose information that is meant to be held privately for the company.
Thus, there can be many different issues involved in a breach of contract. Since each contract is different, a breach of contract might be found for many different reasons.
What Are Some Remedies for a Breach of Employment Agreement?
Breaching an employment contract can lead to various legal penalties. Of course, contract remedies will depend on the type of agreement that was reached. It will also depend on the central focus of the breach. For instance, if the breach involves a failure to pay wages, the remedy may include a monetary damages award paid from the employer to the employee, which would reimburse them for the missing wages.
Another remedy might involve the employer reinstating the worker to their previous job title after a wrongful termination incident. Other remedies might involve a re-writing of the contract to reflect changes in circumstances, or a requirement that the employer change their workplace policies.
Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer to Handle a Breach of an Employment Agreement?
Employment agreements should be reviewed carefully before they are entered into. You may wish to hire a lawyer if you need help drafting, editing, reviewing, or negotiating an employment agreement. Your attorney can help you understand your employment rights under local, state, and federal laws. Also, your lawyer can represent you in court if you need to file a formal lawsuit due to a breach of contract terms.

I bought a package on Hotwire and thought the place looked pretty good from the photo. I arrived late at night just hoping for a hot shower and a clean bed. No luck. The water was cold and the pillows were musty. There were roaches on the ceiling and a broken bathroom window. No coffee maker and certainly no hair... More

Virginia Department of Transportation News Release
CULPEPER — The Virginia Department of Transportation and Plecker Construction Co. of Staunton will begin work on Monday, June 10, to replace the upper crossing of Route 634 (Mutton Hollow Road) at Swift Run in Greene County. The bridge is located approximately 0.6 mile south of Route 33 (Spotswood Trail).
The project involves removing the existing concrete structure and replacing it with a precast box culvert, as well as making improvements to the approaches on both ends of the crossing. The improvements will address the issue of frequent flooding on Route 634 that cuts off access to the residential properties in the area.
During construction, Route 634 will be closed at Swift Run and detour signs will be posted. Northbound motorists will be detoured from Route 634 onto Route 810 (Dyke Road), then left on Route 33 and back onto Route 634. Southbound motorists will reverse the detour.
Plecker Construction Co., with a low bid of $299,888.49, was awarded the construction contract for this project in March. The contract has a completion date of Sept. 1.

My friends had a a lady time tea party on Sunday and I used my beautiful new food processor to make my mother's special pear almond tart and some homemade hummus. Usually I resent hummus like I resent curly kale (digestive disaster) and quinoa (boring blobs of mouth sand), but mine was mind-blowing thanks to the use of 3 kinds of oil, almonds, a few tablespoons of boiling water, and a pinch of Penzey's Maharajah Curry Powder. Recipe coming soon!
Other delicious eats include doughnuts from Dough in Bed-Stuy, cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, and deviled eggs. We decimated everything as ladies are wont to do.

This is a good little salon just a few minutes away from Fulham Broadway tube station. Compared to lots of places in this area you get much more for your money here. Sava uses Aveda products and actually has a really wide range if you want to stock up while you're in the area - they do really good hair products if you haven't already discovered them!
When I last went it was ultra quiet but that was during the day so maybe it's different in the evenings and on weekends but the staff are really friendly and pretty quick and efficient too. As well as hair they do the standard selection of beauty treatments, including tanning and massages. In fact, a hand massage is often thrown in with the hair cut which can be a bit off putting if you're trying to flick through a magazine. Still, the intention is good.
HORRIBLE! Had a voucher for BRazilian Blow Dry, but was so concerned when I came into the salon the hairdresser didn't speak English, didn't understand what I wanted, was terribly rude (didn't even great me when I came in), pulled at my hair, that I decided not to have it! When I said I would rather leave his response was fuck off then and when I was out of the door he called me a bxxxx. I emailed Groupon to ask for the money back, but wonder why they would not check salons?
Really unhappy with the Brazilian Blow-Dry I had here. The experience itself was ok, the stylist didn't speak any English even though he was in language school which I found a bit strange but it was fine. I paid, they gave me a small conditioner to put on my hair when I washed it out and didn't recommend I buy any products. This was a week ago. The treatment has worked and my hair is very straight but it feels SO rough in places, like I have backcombed it really hard. I have been doing really deep conditioning all week and it's not working. I phoned the salon this morning. The man I spoke to said I should have bought an approved shampoo and conditioner from them. No-one recommended I do so at the time or told me there could be any problems like this. I told him I have had this treatment twice before and despite using my regular shampoo, everything was fine. He said that treatment probably used formaldehyde it didn't. He said I could come into the salon and they could look at my hair. I told him it takes me an hour to get to the salon so unless he thinks he knows what to do, it's a very long journey. He said 'ok, don't come then'. So now I have really dry, rough hair, conditioning is not working and all the salon can advise me to do is buy one of their expensive shampoos, that I have to travel an hour to buy. Will not be going back, ever.
We are a small & friendly Aveda boutique hairdresser salon tucked away in the heart of Fulham.We guarantee the high standard of care and excellence for your cut and color!!
Established in 2007.
Aveda SavaSSalon is a local hairdressing and training business founded in London, United Kingdom in 2007 by Savas. He was later joined by Tony. Since then salon is growing and due to the increasing popularity of the Salon, it is advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Apple has decided to restrict methods of payment to just credit/debit cards and to limit each person to just two iPhones.

NATA Warns on Fuel Pump Requirement
The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) warned of a new requirement imposed by Alabama. The state has decided to apply to aviation facilities legal standards for self-serve auto fuel pumps. These standards include a requirement for all self-serve pumps to have visual indicators of quantity and cost and that all pumps reset to zero when finished pumping. Self-serve fuel pumps at airports generally show only the total number of gallons purchased, not the total price. NATA is working with Alabama officials to help them understand the effect of applying automotive gas station standards to the aviation industry.

I'm finally uploading stories onto Wattpad after being a member for years now! I am currently only working on two stories: Robot Love - futuristic/robot/sci-fi/romance! :) & Cowboy Wastelands - Historical Fiction/Romance Give me your feedback and tell me what you think! I plan to upload as frequently as I can. I edit each chapter before and after I upload it so hopefully you don't have to worry about any grammitcal errors or stuff like that! I also have other ideas in my head but those will come later :) Anyways, about me. I'm Canadian for one. EH-OH-CAN-A-DA I love to read and it usually comes before doing other, more important things no matter how hard I try to put whatever book I'm reading down. I like reading short stories better than novels because of their quirky endings and sharp characters. I also like pieces of flash fiction. -SS

Seattle Times columnist Jerry Brewer says the Sehawks' offense has developed an identity against its opponents: "Take them to a point they're unwilling to match:"
More than athleticism, more than skill, more than desire, the Seahawks are defined by their toughness.
They aim to take every football game to a physical and mental brink. Can the opponent go there? Or rather, will the opponent go there? This season, the answer has often determined whether the game will be a competition or an endurance challenge that only suits the Seahawks' stamina. . . .
They're coming straight at you, at maximum speed, again and again and again.
Can you match it? Will you match it?
"We're going to be physical and consistent," wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. "And we're going to do it until the other team can't do it anymore." . . .
The Seahawks' mantra against Washington: Do what you do — better. It figures. No

Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society #3)by Ally Carter
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it's that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting — or stealing — whatever they want.
No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale's family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there's no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won't let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother's will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company's fortune. So instead of being the heir — this time, Hale might be the mark.
Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she's willing to save her boyfriend's company if it means losing the boy.
The third book in the New York Times best-selling Heist Society series by blockbuster author Ally Carter.
Kat is a girl who is used to getting — or stealing — everything she wants. But telling the truth to the boy she likes? Now that's a cat of a different color.
When Kat's on-again off-again boyfriend, Hale, suddenly inherits his family's billion dollar company, Kat gets a tip-off that the will is a fake. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, how can she tell Hale that he might be living a lie?
Critics and fans alike have fallen for Heist Society (no conning necessary). With more mystery, non-stop action, romance and humor, this third novel in the hit series is just as irresistible.

Juvies Dosing Kids With Schizophrenia Meds To Keep Them Docile
An investigative report found that New Orleans juvenile detention centers are giving the kids potent antipsychotics four times as often as the conditions for which they were designed to treat, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, actually show up in the inmate population. People inside the system say the jails are dosing the kids because it's easier to deal with them when they're "little zombies." [More]

Prisons Get Big Kickbacks For Phone Contracts, Prisoners' Families Pay The Price
A investigation by Prison Legal News exposes how prisons are getting fat kickbacks from telephone companies in order to land exclusive service contracts, which they then use to charge sky-high calling rates.

I felt like such an oddball today at playgroup because all the women are cooing and awing about being broody for more babies and I was like no, i'm good with the 2 I got. Lol.
I felt like such an oddball today at playgroup because all the women are cooing and awing about being broody for more babies and I was like no, i'm good with the 2 I got. Lol.
We had a little bit of excitement tonight. A car wrecked right next to our house. When it first happened I nearly had an anxiety attack. I mean really. Because the car was upside down in the ditch and standing up with the air. The roof was clearly caved in. I thought, "oh no!" and felt the beginning of panic set in. Rich quickly determined the guy was ok and it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
I really feel like I'm on the brink of some sort of failure. If he'd been hurt, I don't know how it would have affected me. :/ I don't even know the guy, but still.
I vacuumed while my kids slept. And played the car stereo at a level that probably made people raise their eyebrows. But I never had to jump through any hoops to make them sleep.
Oh wait, I take that back. Bobbie had colic and I had to either wind her in her swing or rock her in her seat with my foot while I did dishes. Noise, though, didn't bother her. She liked "Baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train..." by The Tractors at an incredible volume. If it wasn't loud, she'd scream. No lie.
DH is a total failure at putting Abbey to bed. Almost every single time he lays down with her to read her stories and put her to sleep, about 20 minutes later I hear the door open softly, and then I see her tip-toe out, close the door softly, and tell me "I got daddy to go to sleep, may I watch a cartoon now?"
I am embarrassed to admit this, but I am your DH in that scenario. Bodhi will stay in his bed when DH kisses him good night and goes back in to check on him. For me, I think he'll stay down, but I leave to do something, and he eventually sneaks up behind me and asks "Whatchu doing?"
I am famous around here (whatever that means) for falling asleep before the child I'm laying with. It's hard to stay awake in a dark room with lullaby music playing and to have to pretend to be sleeping on top of all that...forget about it!
Hey guys, sorry I've been completely MIA. We've been battling a stomach bug since sat morning and I'm just getting back to work today. I actually took Ash to the ER on sunday night to make sure he wasn't dehydrated because he had thrown up like 25 times between sat and sun. He's on the mend now and I'm just hoping I don't get it!
I don't have time to catch up with everything but wanted to throw it out there that I'm in a FB group for weight loss and exercising that is mostly made up of APA girls. If anyone wants to join, let me know and I can add you. I use myfitnesspal.com and I've lost 20lbs since the new year. It is a little time consuming, but basically all foods are listed in there and there is a recipe function that you can enter all the ingredients for a recipe and how many servings it is and it will tell you how much per serving.

I ended up getting home at 8:30 which is way past Nolan's bed time but he was still up. DH gave him a bath and got him dressed and ready for night time and said that he kept babbling 'mama' so he didn't even try putting him to sleep It only took like 2 seconds for him to pass out last night (which never happens) the poor booger was so tired. I love when I come home from being gone for a while, he gets a big ole smile on his face and chases me down
Nolan used to sleep SO easy and SO well..... and than... he started to get teeth He's still not an awful sleeper and I can't really complain too much since he does sleep pretty good stretches most of the time... but going to bed at 1, getting up at 3 with him, trying to get him to go back to sleep just so we can get up at 5:30 for the day, is exhausting
I was talking about how I was up 2 lbs since starting my new job because there's too much access to restaurants and too many people to meet for lunch. Right after saying that Ted, Faye & I got on the elevator. I was last and the stupid thing lurched. We all laughed and Ted said, "There are those two pounds!"
I know 2 lbs isn't a big deal, but if it keeps climbing I'm going to have to do something.
I figure I'll hit it hard this summer and hopefully can get myself into a good routine. Than keep it up at least on the weekends whenever classes start back. Next year is going to be rough since it appears my mom will be going back to my dad shortly so I'll loose her help
I have been relatively good about my eating, and worked out both Monday (weights) and Tuesday (Abs/Cardio). Tonight is yoga, and tomorrow is likely, more Pilates. There is a boot camp sort of thing there that I am tempted to do, but I don't want a complete and utter fail on that. I need to do more cardio, but I have really, really terrible feet that must be carefully managed, and most cardio workouts put me out of commission (sometimes for months), which will be seriously counterproductive. I'm going to try to not weigh myself, except maybe monthly. At my fittest, I actually gained weight, but it was all muscle, and I didn't really care because I looked good and my clothes fit great.
I have to admit, I thought about Gwenn's next blog entry when I got baby S. on video stirring a pot and saying, "My cooking" instead of "I'm cooking." I'm also really impressed that he likes to cook fish because I pretty much gave up cooking fish about a year and a half ago due to lack of interest on everyone's part for everything but salmon. Not that I'm angling for you to use my family for your blog every time, but I am also one of those people who has been checking back to see if you've done another entry and I was excited to see that you've been thinking about it. So I just wanted to give you another little rah from your cheering section.
The elevator story was too funny! Chrissy, it must be fun to work with a bunch of people who are interesting and nice, and a big enough group that if one person annoys you, you can always sort of hang out with the other people rather than just be shut in a room with your one boss. I'm sure you must miss him, and you spent a lot of your life together, but it's always nice to have a little more variety in the workplace. Being one-on-one at work is too much like being married without having any choice in your spouse and without as much incentive to foster the relationship well.
MashedUp, I'm so sorry to hear about the stomach bug. It really did a number on our whole family. I hope the rest of you can avoid it.
My sister got a norovirus that stuck with her for a couple of weeks and caused her to keep off about five pounds last year, and she still speaks fondly of it as one of the best things that ever happened to her. She is a little obsessed with weight.
I got such a kick out of that video. "Yummy Orange! Mum, mum, mum, mum... Yummy Blue! Mum, mum, mum, mum...." totally cracked up.
Aww I can't see the video at work I'll have to check it out when I get home, sounds adorable!!
Lisa, sorry the stomach bug caught you. Hope you're feeling better today.
L, baby S is such a little cutie!!! And now I am hungry for salmon. How I wish I could stock my freezer with halibut and salmon this summer.
I've been laying with G in his bed this week and last night I was drifting off to sleep, when G just blurted out some random question. He had been laying there so still and quiet, I thought he was asleep.
Ashley, some days I feel very broody. I love the baby stage, it makes me sad that I only got to do it once. But my dh is so not broody at all.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
L, I love Baby S. Although he's not such a baby anymore! I haven't seen him since last summer at the county fair, and even then I couldn't get over how big he'd gotten. His longer hair makes him look so much more mature, and I'm starting to see a lot of R in his face.
Lisa, I hope the virus doesn't full-on hit you. I'm sorry to hear how badly it affected your family.
Has anyone seen GCB? I haven't yet, but after Newt Gingrich made some critical remarks of it, my curiosity is piqued. I'm annoyed that they abbreviated the name, though, as I was so excited to learn there might be a primetime show with the "B" word in it's title. It looks like it might be funny.

Barely a day goes past now without a data protection related story hitting the headlines.
Last week the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO"), warned businesses and other organisations that they "must have adequate security measures in place to keep people's information secure" after it transpired that 677,335 user accounts on the Racing Post website had been compromised during a data breach in October 2013.
The ICO found that although the Racing Post had carried out security testing on its website in 2007, it had failed to apply security patches after this time – leaving the website open to attack.
The ICO has accordingly requested that the Racing Post sign an undertaking (a written promise) committing it to take action to improve data protection compliance by introducing routine IT security testing and having in place a policy to ensure that security patches and updates are regularly applied.
Last week the ICO also issued a report into data protection compliance by 16 local authorities, finding "areas of good practice, but clear room for improvement by all". According to the ICO, six authorities had "considerable room for improvement", while one was warned that immediate action was required.
According to the ICO:
"The types of breaches we're seeing are fairly consistent, with personal information being disclosed in error and lost or stolen paperwork and hardware prevalent… By learning from the mistakes of others, and indeed learning from the examples of good practice we found, local authorities will improve their compliance with the law, and be less likely to find the regulator knocking on their door."
Last week was also the week that the ICO served a £180,000 monetary penalty on the Ministry of Justice following the loss of an unencrypted back-up hard drive at a prison in May 2013. The drive contained personal data (including sensitive personal data) relating to 2,935 prisoners, including details of links to organised crime, health information, history of drug misuse and information about victims and visitors.
This followed a similar incident in October 2011, when another unencrypted hard drive containing personal data relating to 16,000 prisoners, was lost.
In May 2012 the prison service provided new hard drives to all of the prisons across England and Wales, which were capable of encrypting the information stored on them. However, the ICO's investigation into the latest incident found that the prisons had not realised that the encryption needed to be turned on in order to work correctly.
The ICO's Head of Enforcement, Stephen Eckersley, commented:
"The fact that a government department with security oversight for prisons can supply equipment to 75 prisons throughout England and Wales without properly understanding, let alone telling them, how to use it beggars belief… This is simply not good enough and we expect government departments to be an example of best practice when it comes to looking after people's information. We hope this penalty sends a clear message that organisations must not only have the right equipment available to keep people's information secure, but must understand how to use it."
The above matters serve as a timely reminder that every organisation handling personal data should have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the security and integrity of personal data. This is known as the "seventh data protection principle" under the Data Protection Act 1998 (the "DPA").
(In summary, the DPA requires that personal data must be:
1. Fairly and lawfully processed;
2. Processed only for the purposes for which it was obtained;
3. Adequate, relevant, and not excessive;
4. Accurate and up-to-date;
5. Not kept for longer than is necessary;
6. Processed in line with individuals' rights;
7. Kept secure; and
8. Not transferred out of the EEA without adequate protection.)
With the ICO showing increasing willingness to take enforcement action, including by issuing monetary penalties in what it deems to be the most serious cases, now is a good time for businesses and organisations to review their data protection policies and procedures – particularly in relation to how they store and process personal data online and on their IT systems.

Adjust your startup chime volume
Apparently, this hint works for some people. It also doesn't work for many people, as an Internet search will reveal. I've tried this hint on a 2011 MacBook Pro, a 2008 MacBook Pro, a 2009 iMac, and several other computers. I've tried all the variations that I can think of. I set the internal speakers to no volume, with and without the Mute checkbox checked. I've set the external speakers to no volume (Headphone, in the Sound control panel), again, with and without the Mute checkbox checked. With these settings, I've restarted with the external speakers plugged in and with them unplugged. I've restarted with the Mute button on the keyboard pressed. In every case, the chime sounds at its normal loud volume, from the internal speakers, on every restart.

A Math Genius's Sad Calculus
Benoit Mandelbrot, the father of fractal geometry, pens a disturbing new memoir on mathematics—and survival
"Nearly all common patterns in nature are rough," writes the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot at the beginning of The Fractalist: Memoir of a Scientific Maverick published posthumously this month by Pantheon. "They have aspects that are exquisitely irregular and fragmented—not merely more elaborate than the marvelous ancient geometry of Euclid but of massively greater complexity."
As Mandelbrot illustrates in his memoir, there are many rewards out there for an elite mathematician—university chairs, corporate research jobs, and conference junkets—but fame is not usually one of them. His uncle, Szolem Mandelbrojt, was a star of French mathematics in the 20th century, but he looked with suspicion on the kind of acclaim Benoit received when he published his 1975 book Fractals and its popular successor The Fractal Geometry of Nature in 1982. "There are 15 people in the world who read everything I write," Szolem told his nephew. "That is enough. I find that very comforting."
What made Benoit Mandelbrot something of a cult figure was the fact that his key discovery, fractal geometry, generates a weird kind of visual beauty. The set of mathematical objects known as the Mandelbrot set is produced using a formula that he describes as "very plain": "Pick a constant c and let the original z be at the origin of the plane; replace z by z times z; add the constant c; repeat." A graph of the set produces an image of fantastic complexity and strange magnificence. It exhibits the key property of a fractal, which is that it is self-similar—it repeats its own pattern on every scale.
This kind of pattern, Mandelbrot found, is common in nature and even in art. The illustrations in The Fractalist include an image of the human lung, a photograph of atmospheric turbulence on Jupiter, and Hokusai's famous painting "The Great Wave": All display the kind of regular irregularity that Mandelbrot taught the world to call fractal. (He came up with the name, he writes, after consulting his son's Latin dictionary and finding the word fractus, "broken.") More, his mathematical work had applications to a surprising range of fields: He made contributions to the study of linguistics, financial markets, geography, aeronautics, and cosmology, which were united by what Mandelbrot calls "roughness." Or, as he put it in The Fractal Geometry of Nature, "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
Mandelbrot's life work was to develop mathematical tools able to measure that kind of fiendishly difficult, real-world complexity. The challenge facing The Fractalist is that it is almost impossible for a non-mathematician to advance beyond these generalities and understand what precisely it is that Mandelbrot accomplished. Knowing this, he allows no mathematical formulas or notation in the book—the formula for the Mandelbrot set is the sole exception. It is clear enough, however, that the mathematics Mandelbrot worked with has nothing to do with the kind most of us learned in school; it is infinitely more creative and exciting. His own gift, he writes, was an intuitive ability to "see" complex shapes. As a student, he could solve difficult problems much faster than the rest of the class by turning equations into mental geometry: "In no time, searching for and studying symmetry became central to my work … hopelessly complicated problems of integral calculus could be 'reduced' to familiar shapes that made them easy to resolve."
For this reviewer, reading The Fractalist is rather like reading about a poet who wrote in a foreign language for which no adequate translation is available. You know Mandelbrot is up to exciting things, but you have to take them mostly on faith. What he can share, and does copiously, are the steps of his worldly career: the professorial appointments, the job as a researcher at IBM, the papers published and colleagues courted and impressed. There is so much of this kind of thing in the second half of The Fractalist that it comes to read like an annotated CV, and it has the effect of making Mandelbrot seem very vain. But then, this is a man who decided early in life that he wanted to be a second Kepler, founding a new field of study and revolutionizing humanity's picture of the world. (In his own view, he accomplished this: "In my Keplerian quest I faced many challenges. The good news is that I succeeded.") All of this sits oddly with his later declaration that "a memoir is a lesson in humility."
What makes The Fractalist compelling, even for a non-mathematician, is its first half, which describes Mandelbrot's childhood and adolescence as a Jew in wartime Europe. The fact that he survived to adulthood is itself something of a miracle. He was born in Warsaw in 1924 and raised in a modernizing Jewish family where Polish was the language of choice. (He could not talk directly to his Yiddish-speaking grandfather, he recalls.) The Mandelbrot family's roots were in Lithuania, where it was said to have produced "men of great learning, some even famous within Jewry." That it went on to produce Szolem and Benoit lends support to the idea that the intellectual skills prized by traditional Jewish learning are the basis of modern Jewish achievement in secular fields.
The global depression combined with intense anti-Semitism made Poland during the 1920s and 1930s a very difficult place for Jews. Mandelbrot's father, who had forsaken advanced schooling in order to become a garment dealer and support his family, emigrated to Paris in 1931, hoping to make a better living. Five years later, his family joined him—spurred, Mandelbrot writes, by the experience of a cousin who was denied admission to high school out of anti-Semitism. The decision was made just at the right time: If they had waited a few years, the Mandelbrots would have been trapped by the war and almost certainly would have died in the Holocaust, as did most of their Warsaw friends.
Bond. Jew Bond.

Stiff for the grade, and a poor climb given initial potential of the crack.Bertbee - Lead O/S - 23/Sep/12
Tough for the guide grade of S4a. Admittedly it's very well protected but - done as a warm up route - my HVS leader gibbered up the steep starting crack and then fell off the first bulge above the midway ledge. Opted then to turn the route in a multi-pitch job and left me to take on the bulges! HS or lower end VS?? oscaig - AltLd O/S - 07/May/12 with Kim Mulji
first part much harder than a S 4a should be - more like VS 4c really. Fell on awkward lift off platform in middle, and had my second lead this pitch! Much easier the second time!kim.mulji - AltLd dog - 07/May/12 with Ian Cramman

Animal Planet
The Super Bowl is the National Football League's (NFL) end-of-season championship game. Typically played on the last Sunday in January or the first Sunday in February, it is the most widely viewed single-day sporting event worldwide every year. There are many reasons the Super Bowl is so popular. One possible reason is its singular decisiveness: Whereas other professional sports teams (Major League Baseball teams, for example) win championships by prevailing in a series of games, the two teams vying for the NFL championship each year get only one chance to win. The Super Bowl is a winner-takes-all engagement. The game is intriguing, dramatic and exciting because of the finality of its outcome. According to the NFL, the potential global audience of the Super Bowl is estimated at over a billion people, though this figure has not been verified [source: Stevenson]. The NFL has a random drawing for the right to buy tickets, since the demand is so much greater than the supply. In 2009, the highest retail price of a Super Bowl ticket was $1,000, but tickets were resold by brokers for up to $8,000 [source: Kuriloff].
In many ways, the Super Bowl is more than just a sporting event. A large percentage of people who watch the Super Bowl watch it just for the commercials. The game is such an enormous public spectacle that advertisers will pay huge fees for commercial slots, which are the most expensive in television. In 1967, Super Bowl ads cost only $42,000 (equivalent to approximately $121,000 in 2008). In 2009, 30 seconds of commercial time cost around $3 million. Since Super Bowl commercials receive so much hype and anticipation, advertisers have to live up to a lot of pressure. Some of the most famous Super Bowl commercials have been for Pepsi, Budweiser, Nike, McDonald's and Reebok. ¬Probably the best-known Super Bowl commercial of all time was the 1984 commercial, in which Apple promoted its new Macintosh computer. The commercial was meant to evoke George Orwell's "1984," and after that Super Bowl, the ad was never run again.

consumer no- 50102317
Dear Sirs,
I am one of the consumers of Bharat Gas LPG at Kurnool town, which is situated in Andhra Pradesh.
Here in Kurnool Town, Andhra Pradesh "M/s Venkateswara Gas Services" is one of the Dealers for Bharat Gas LPG. My association is with M/s Venkateswara Gas Services as far as my LPG gas connection is concerned.
I own two LPG cylinders of Bharat Gas.
Whenever a gas cylinder is delivered, the above Dealer is not accepting for booking of LPG gas cylinder for a period of 20 days, from the date of supply of LPG cylinder. Again after booking of LPG gas cylinder, the Dealer is taking another 20 days for supply of LPG gas cylinder.
In a nutshell, I would like to inform you that there will be a gap of 40 days in between for supply of a LPG gas cylinder, which is not conducive and is not sufficient for domestic usage for a moderate family members and it is also to mention here that the very purpose of holding two LPG gas cylinders is defeated.
I would like to know -
1) Is it mandatory to book a cylinder only after 20 days from the date of supply of LPG Cylinder?
2) Further, is it mandatory for supply of a LPG gas cylinder only after 20 days from the date of booking of LPG gas cylinder?
What I mean to say whether the above norms are fixed by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. If it is so, it is not at all practicable to meet the domestic needs of LPG gas for such a long period of 40 days.
If it is according to the Company norms, it is requested that the gap between supply of LPG cylinders may be relaxed by Bharat Petroleum Corporation for a great relief to the Consumers of Bharat Gas.
I come to know no other LPG company is insisting for such a condition, except M/s Sri Venkateswara Gas Service, as mentioned above. As and when the consumer book the LPG cylinder, the Dealer will book and deliver the LPG cylinder in a reasonable period of time. Therefore, your Company can also emulate such practice to avoid inconvenience to the Consumers at large.
I shall be very thankful if a reply to the above query is mailed to me at an early date.
Thanking you,
With regards,
Yours faithfully,
Noor Basha
My Consumer Number is 45307 , I have transferred my connection from Bangalore to Chennai on 29th March 2012. I went to Padmavati Gas agency on 31st March 2012 (since I moved into Perrumbakkam). He just wrote my mobile number in a 100 page book and told that he will get in touch with me after 10 days. I know for sure this in not the procedure. Can I believe him. Will I ever get a transfer in 10 days.
BPCL Gas Pune dealer Shriram Gas agency on Sinhgad road, sucks.
I have registered the gas on 24th of March & today 19th April its not delivered ( 26 days !!!!). When asked him about the delay he is ready with 10 different reasons not to deliver on time (as always) but when I mentioned I will complaint the gas dealer assured to deliver it today.
I have seens the whrost ever service in my lifetime for any product.

First, you prioritize what you want, and then you build a budget built on what you are willing to tax. In the world, there is this misconception you can pay for everything. You can�t so you prioritize. The rest of the world is learning this the hard way. Look at France, Italy, Greece, and Spain who are bankrupt from too many programs. What amazes me is the first thing people want to cut is veteran�s benefits. A country that does not honor its veteran�s first will not be a country for long. As a veteran who served 25 years in the service, there just isn�t an equivalent to the sacrifices. Yes, I am a disabled veteran. I find it offensive anyone would question my disability. I medical doctor diagnosed me with the conditions and I feel the pain. The process to get the VA disability is a long and difficult process. Ask the thousands who are still waiting years later like my brother-in-law.
I saw so much waste in the military on buildings and weapons programs that someone should be arrested, but it was legal. So, now we have debt crisis and the government is going after our medical benefits which was promised to us. They are going after our retirement benefits, too. Yes, Virginia, the government lies. You want to cut waste. Get rid of the food stamps program for abled body people (we are a fat nation according to pollsters � let�s go on a diet); reduce the free housing we give to abled body people (check out for yourself how much we spend on this program); penalize people who have kids out of wedlock over and over again to get benefits; get rid of the department of education, stop political fraud or crony capitalism (i.e. building billion dollar light rail trains � See Senator Reid), the list goes on and on. Go after the billions of waste to political operatives and pork barrel, etc. Get our military out of Europe; quit subsidizing the world in several many areas. The solutions are easy. Leave the vets alone. In prop 1, when the veteran dies, the spouse loses most if not the entire veteran�s income. Most will struggle. Prioritize what is important � Veteran�s first, and then work from there.
