You be the Judge: The Case of the Kid and the Cash
An unmarried, absent father dies at work. Does his company have to pay to support his child?
Jessica Douglas gave birth to a baby girl named Jamie on April 22, 1998. Soon after, the pair moved in with Douglas's boyfriend, Scott Moore, whom Douglas had been dating for some time. Though they all lived together in Moore's Michigan home on and off for several months, Moore wasn't entirely certain that he was Jamie's father. In fact, he filed a complaint to determine the child's paternity. Results from the DNA test came back at the beginning of September and proved that Moore was indeed Jamie's dad. By then, however, Douglas and little Jamie had moved out. Though Moore no longer supported them financially, he was still, according to Douglas, "a father to [Jamie]."
Less than a month after he received the paternity results, Moore was working a job at an apartment complex for his employer, Prestige Painting. A gust of wind caused him to lose control of an aluminum extension ladder he was carrying, and the ladder touched an overhead power line. Moore was electrocuted. He died shortly after.
On behalf of her daughter, Douglas filed a petition to receive death benefits from Prestige Painting. In September 2002, a Workers' Compensation Board magistrate ruled that Jamie was eligible for benefits, since, according to the Workers' Disability Compensation Act, a child under the age of 16—whether legitimate or illegitimate, whether living with the deceased employee or not—"shall be conclusively presumed to be wholly dependent for support." The magistrate awarded Douglas 500 weeks of benefits at $252.33 a week.
"The order was clearly in the best interest of the child," says Douglas's attorney, Allen Wall.
But within days, Prestige Painting appealed to the Workers' Compensation Appellate Commission (WCAC). Attorney Robert W. Macy called the magistrate's decision a "legal error" and cited a different statute in the same Compensation Act, which stated that a child had to be "living with" the employee at the time of death to be considered an eligible dependent.
Should Prestige Painting be required to pay death benefits to Scott Moore's daughter even though the child wasn't living with him when he died on the job? You be the judge.

In a bowl mix nicely, by hand, all the ingredients mentioned in part I.
Then using a wooden pestle and stone mortar, pound it into fine mass.
This can be done in batches.
Now, divide the powdered mass into four to eight portions.
With greased palms shape each portion into a compact cylindrical shaped sausage and put these aside in a plate.
In a deep bowl mix and churn together, with a churning stick 1/2 kg curd, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp ginger powder, 2 tsp aniseed powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp sugar as mentioned in part II.

Project Description
I had a coder create a program for me which runs a list of UPC's and the cost I pay for it and then returns various details that I had asked for.
At times the software has worked, and at times it hasn't. Currently, it is not working up to par and the coder who created it for me is not responsive to make the modifications.
What I need is for it to become fully functional again including being able to run unlimited ASIN's through Amazon API. It has been programmed to break after every 2000 calls however it seems to have stalled.
Once the modifications are completed, if we are satisfied with your work, we want to do some additional work (for additional pay) to make the program run in [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view] API's simultaneously.Get free quotes for a project like this

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 102 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ralph1 Mountain Classic The coat is not very warm and the zipper seems to be failing after a few weeks of use. I expect Columbia will take care of the zipper issue. It is otherwise well made. In above zero weather it is a great coat. January 6, 2017
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kitsap Black Color A Little Off The black isn't very black like you'd expect... more like a dark grey. Other Columbia fleece jackets I've owned for a long time are way blacker, even when several years older. January 5, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5 by JPinKC Leave the sweaters in the closet Once winter gets here, I just basically live in these things. Over a lightweight Merino baselayer, they're the perfect winter sweater without the hassle and with pockets. January 3, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deekers77 Awesome jacket This jacket runs a little large but it does what it's supposed to do. I wear it daily. It's a really nice jacket. January 2, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mellie45 This jacket is great for all ages I bought this jacket style for all the guys in my family, from my husband to my grandson. They all love it. The fit is good and true to size. Would absolutely recommend this jacket! December 30, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kamal Had multiple holes I ordered this item for my husband and this jacket had a small hole on back and poor stitching on the back of the neck making another hole near the collar. December 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bigsaint Love my jacket. Perfect size and color. December 8, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by auntiehaha My mom lives in these I get her a new supply every Christmas... She seriously lives in them Fall till summer... every day... Got her three colors this year! November 16, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by stevie0505 steve henning fits well but not warm at all November 9, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Apollo Runs a little short Ordered a tall, because I have a long torso. It's a bit short and fits like a normal. I'd hate to see how a normal length would fit. November 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hiitsdebi Fits a tall gal for a change I am a 6 foot tall woman, weighing around 280 pounds with a large bust. This jacket (3XT) has sleeves that are actually long enough for me. Sleeves fit past the wrists, just to the hand which I prefer. I wanted a jacket that was light weight enough to wear indoors at my work when it gets chilly from the air condition, but warm enough to grab on cool autumn days. It is also long enough to cover my torso to the hips. I did not find that the sleeves were too narrow like I read on other reviews. It is not lined, so it will not be warm enough for a cold winter night, but it's perfect for chilly autumn days or as a spring jacket. It is super soft. I also liked the color "Super Blue" because it matched my required work uniform color. I'll be buying another one in adifferent color for my off work days. October 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by HackerCraft Very versatile This is a comfortable and lightweight sweater-jacket for 2-3 season use. October 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by gf140502 It's a nice light jacket The jacket is comfortable and does a great job keeping you warm. October 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Conny Columbia zip up fleece Fabulous fit for a thin, tall man (bought L Tall). Fleece of high quality/ thick. Looks and feels great! August 24, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by cool86 Very comfortable Its a very good fleece those cold chilly mornings to keep u warm. And the nice thing about this fleece if u have 3 in 1 columbia coat u can put the hard shell over it. July 27, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Parabolon Great, but size not consistent I like the style and function. Works well and light weight for fall and spring. One of the few companies that still produces tall sizes. However, i ordered a black/blue and a gray/red, both in large/tall size. The black/blue sleeves are just right length. The gray/red is just a bit short for some reason. Also, the red color seems a bit faded (not sure if that's intended). I almost returned it for those reasons. Otherwise great choices for tall guys like me. March 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leelee1 Great product Great product. Love the fit and style. March 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Breediepie Comfortable fleece The fleece jacket is warm, good looking and it feels so soft and comfortable. February 24, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by gkintl drooping pockets Unlike my other Columbia fleece jackets that have the inner liner (which forms the pocket) sown on all sides, the inner liners of these new jacket are not attached to the outer layer along the top edge. The result is that the pockets sag dramatically when I place anything (e.g. a small cell phone) in the pockets. Please advise if I need to purchase a different model jacket to get fully sown pockets? February 13, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Philzim Full zip fleece The quality is good, but I wish the size was a bit smaller, runs a bit large. However my biggest criticism is that I really wish that the Columbia logo was not so large on the front. It almost makes me not want to wear it. If the logo was really small and maybe on the back collar where it wasn't so visible I would be a lot happier. I do not want to pay money and be a walking advertisement for Columbia.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicki54 Hubby's Go-To Jacket The Steens Mountain Full Zip 2.0 has become my husband's go-to jacket. He wears it to work, on the trails and even around the home. My spouse loves how the polyester fabric of this fleece is able to keep him cozy and warm, even when the desert temps are dipping into the thirties. Another plus is that the jacket only requires machine washing and drying then it's ready to be worn once again. January 14, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mikeboston555553567 Very warm Very warm. only complaint is material inside pockets doesn't work with dry cold hands January 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linzy Perfect fit ! My husband is a true size large but is also 6 ft 4, he has long arms and we can never find anything that fits him length wise without being too big. This jacket is AMAZING it fits him like a glove, not too big and arms and body are PERFECT length. If you have a tall but not "big" person on your Christmas list I highly recommend this jacket. We will be purchasing more for his friends for Christmas presents this year who also are talk and have the same problem finding well fitting clothes. December 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dbloc Could have bought the same quality from Walmart or Old Navy VERY DISSAPPOINTED...I purchased 2 of these about 2 years ago and the quality was thick and outstanding. WOW what a degrade in quality with these newly purchased items...VERY THIN FLEECE...didn't keep me very warm. Could have bought the same quality from WALMART or Old Navy. November 26, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pat46 STEENS FLEECE JACKET Nice product... but the sleeves are tight. I think that they sized regular sleeves onto a XXXL jacket. November 19, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by westcoastresponder Great color, nice feel, WEAK ZIPPER! The zipper is weak, the anchor part slips out of the base and then throws of the zipper function. It can be reset but these are not the highest quality zippers. It is warm and a great color, definitely soft. Very disappointed in the zipper. November 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by amiller320 A nice, basic fleece This is very nice, basic fleece. Great for wearing around the house on a chilly day or for running errands. Somewhere between lightweight and heavyweight (I guess that would be middleweight?). My only complaint is that the wrist cuffs are rather tight. Good for keeping the wind out, but they catch on my watch. A minor annoyance. The tall size is fits me well -- I'm 6'4" with long arms. November 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hass Warmer than Jacket Liner The R-factor is constantly increasing as the garment is worn Almost a snow shield! November 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by oldsurfer good deal looks good, fits good and a great price enough said October 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by ColoTXn Nice light weight jacket If I was to buy it again I think I would go with the regular length instead of the tall. Otherwise a nice light jacket September 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by GDunc Small in the arms as always I ordered this fleece to replace my years old go-to fleece. As with every other Columbia jacket I have had, the arms are snug. Especially the forearm. The jacket otherwise fits very well. Being it is so hard to find jackets that fits as well as Columbia's (besides the arms) I keep coming back. If this is your first go at a Columbia jacket keep this in mind. I won't be able to comfortably wear a long sleeve shirt under this jacket, just like my other jackets. August 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angel5683 Perfect for Warmer Climates This jacket is perfect for Southern Winters. Warm enough to handle those few days when the temperature gets down into the 30's but not too hot for days in the 50s-60s. The fleece if very soft and comfortable. My husband didn't want to take it off when he first got it! February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DanielR Nice!!!! I got this coat for my winter adventures mostly fly fishing and hiking and I absolutely love it!!! It is a great layer to put under your outer shell that will keep you warm and toasty. It fits great and is long in the body and arms which at 6'7'' with long arms I really appreciate. If your looking for a warm nonbulky layer get this!!! February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cotton Jacket functionality The best light weight jacket I have ever owned, light and warm without the bulk of most coats. Very functional and considering purchasing another. A jacket for varying ranges of temperature while keeping comfortable. January 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by cll88 STEENS MOUNTAIN™ FULL ZIP FLEECE 2.0 This coat is well made and works above and beyond what it is intended for. I wear this all year round...only requires a little under layering in the coldest parts of winter...in Oregon! In the warmer months it breathes well so I'm not sweating all the time. All in all...great product. I should know...this is my fourth. January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosa916 Great Jacket I bought this jacket for my husband in a large and it looks good on him. It does run a bit longer but the regular length is too short for his longer torso. He is 5'10 and he'd rather it be longer than shorter. My husband loves the quality! January 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by JeffB80 Good looking but fit and thickness could be better I love the look and length of these jackets and have owned 5 of these over the years. But the sizing and thickness of the material seems to have changed 2 years ago. There XL tall used to fit me perfectly, now the mid section is just way too baggy and I had to start buying large tall. But in doing so makes the neck uncomfortably tight. These jackets are warm but they used to be even thicker and warmer. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by tkbeitz Great product My son loves it, great coat January 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyR Length I was looking for a longer fleece and this one is ideal. January 11, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Port1 4xt not a tall I ordered the 4xt for my son, this is not a tall. It was plenty big enough around but very short, especially in the back. If he lifts his arms up the jacket turns into a half shirt. I also purchased a Lt, this jacket was great in the length. January 2, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by geegee17 Happy Love the way it fit. January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MRoussin Excellent Product This jacket is perfect for fall days. I've now owned 2 of these and just bought one for my wife. It's not a winter jacket so don't expect it to keep you warm and dry in snow and rain. Excellent quality and exceptionally warm for mild temperatures. December 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelDude Pretty Good Decent jacket. Fits the size advertised. Decent construction. A little thinner fabric than I wanted. It was hard to tell what weight/conditions each item had/serviced. November 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Morg Repeat buyer I purchased five of these in XLT but gained weight. So I purchased three more in 2XLT. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I'm also 6'4" with a 34" sleeve. Other coats don't fit me in the sleeve. These do. Older models had a larger outside pocket for my Kindle and the newer ones have an inside pocket for it. I prefer the expanded outside pocket but the inside one works okay. Not great but good enough. The big thing is they fit and look good. I've been wearing these for a couple of years now and they hold up with numerous washings and they continue to look good. November 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kstamper Very Short I am about 6'6'' and have to buy tall clothes and I though this would be a good fit. Well I get it and turns out its not long at all. It barely came to my waist and was very tight. November 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tellitlikeitis The perfect fit I bought this for my son-in-law. The steen's mountain jacket fit him perfectly and looks amazing. Nice quality. October 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by explorerx sweatshirt Its nice fashionably, but not the warmest jacket I've ever had. October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KCRich Great Fleece This is a great light to med fleece. Super soft and looks great. Only had it for about a month but worn it almost everyday. Love it. September 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rand MUCH LARGER THAN THE OLD ONE, AND NOT AS WELL CONSTRUCTED I recently purchased this jacket in an XLT as a replacement for a well worn earlier version. The sleeve length is nice, but the body length is uncomfortably long at times. This jacket should sit at or just a little below the waist. Instead it rides at or below the middle of my butt. It's annoying in the car. I am 6'5" with a longish torso, and I don't know how tall someone would have to be in the body in order for this jacket to fit them correctly. My earlier model of this jacket is an XLT as well, and it fits normally. This new one is also bigger around in the body. In addition, the detail work on the stitching is pretty poor. There are numerous areas of over runs/overstiching on the zippers, etc. And, I spent about 20 minutes with some small, sharp scissors trimming off the excess threads hanging all over the jacket. I have never had to do this to any Columbia product previously, so it is fairly disappointing. They have apparently changed vendors and patterns for this jacket. April 6, 2014

Ugh kind of regretting the lansky sharpener atm...Sharpened my fixed blade of 404a steel, thought I got it good, was able to shave arm/leg hair easy enough. I found it odd during sharpening that one side required much more work to get the angle set on the blade, but I used the permanant marker method, and it took it all off.
Either way, the other day I went to cut a rubber hose at work, and now its dull as piss on one side, and what feels relatively sharp on the other. Not sharp enough to shave though. Im assuming the manufactuer used two different angles on the blade sides?

In memory of what never was
Here's a poem of my condolences:
We were nothing and now we're dead
A death too great to quickly mourn
Forgive me for what has to be said
It was never really alive, like a stillborn
In memory of what might have been us
This poem fades out like we did
Abrupt but at the same time
It was Nonexistent

Two more men plead not guilty in burglaries at religious institutions
SANTA ANA – Two men charged in a series of burglaries at religious institutions throughout Orange County pleaded not guilty Friday, court records show.
Robert Dennis, 45, is facing felony burglary and weapons-possession charges, while Fernando Flores, 21, is facing felony burglary and drug-possession charges, Orange County Superior Court records show.
James Dorscht, 39, who police are searching for, has been charged with felony burglary. A fourth man suspected to be a member of the burglary crew, Daniel Cortes, 29, previously pleaded not guilty to burglary, grand theft and drug-possession charges.
Police allege the four men are members of a crew that targeted churches in Anaheim, Santa Ana and Tustin, as well as an Islamic center and temple in Irvine, where donation boxes were pried open or safes were stolen.
Cortes was arrested May 17 after police received a tip identifying him as a man caught on video during a burglary earlier in the month at Forty Martyrs Armenian Church in Santa Ana attempting to disable a surveillance camera.
DNA evidence collected at the Irvine temple burglary Jan. 15 identified Dennis, and a subsequent investigation led Irvine investigators to Flores and Dorscht. Dennis and Flores were arrested Wednesday at a Santa Ana commercial complex, with police saying they also found burglary tools, a club and shotgun during a search of their vehicle.

What do you love about your job?
At the beginning, it was tremendously exciting knowing that my opinions and experiences would end up in print. Also, researching a book forced me to explore off the beaten track, wander down alleys I wouldn't normally wander down, and generally find places I might not otherwise visit if I were on holiday. What most people don't realise, though, is that I spend maybe a quarter of my time travelling, and the rest researching and writing.
So what are the drawbacks?
It can get really lonely sometimes. I can be travelling for three or four months on my own, and you have to cover so much ground in that time that you don't have the opportunity to hang around and forge relationships. Every time I get back, I say to myself "never again" - and that's before the writing starts. The next eight or nine months can be a pretty intense experience and I spend days in my pyjamas, putting the work off.
Doesn't it feel like you're on holiday?
When you're abroad, it's the opposite to a holiday: you get up early in the morning, and don't stop all day. Everything you see and feel may filter into the book. If you don't note everything down at the time, you'll probably never get another chance. So, it's enjoyable but exhausting and it's easy to get run down or ill. I always have two or three weeks off when I get back.
Do you try to remain "undercover" as much as possible?
Yes, but it's not always possible. I've done several books on Goa, so I'm pretty well known there. I try not to tell restaurants so that I don't get preferential treatment but being known can sometimes be advantageous; having a chat with the hoteliers can give me the sort of local details that make a guide seem less like it's written by someone passing through.
Do you ever get offered bribes in exchange for a mention in the guide?
A glowing guidebook entry can make all the difference for a business so you get a lot of people asking to be included. We'll send someone to check it out, but that's about as far as it goes. The bottom line is, you've got to be dependable or your book - and the series as a whole - is going to suffer.
Is there a danger that travellers treat guidebooks as their bible, and the places that are mentioned become ruined?
It certainly happens, though it's difficult to say to what extent guidebooks are responsible for this. Writers like to exaggerate the impact of their pieces, and I think word of mouth is just as influential. Nevertheless, I've seen tiny fishing villages turn into big resorts and I think guide books should try to encourage sustainability over exploitation.
Can't backpackers have a positive impact on the places they visit?
Generally, backpackers stay longer in a destination, and more of their money goes to the grassroots than holidaymakers on package trips. Having said that, with cheap air travel, many just dip in and out of a place, don't really engage with it and can be just as irresponsible as many package tourists.
What qualities make a good Rough Guide writer?
A prodigious appetite for new places and information - you should be a bit like a sponge, absorbing all sorts of cultural and sociological information - and you must also love language, the nuts and bolts of writing. Mainly, though, you just have to cope with being on your own, and be able to put up with being broke.
Is the pay that bad?
Yes. You get paid a portion of your royalties in advance, which just about covers your expenses on the trip but not much more. After that, it just depends on how many people buy the book.
Finally, what is the question that you invariably get asked at parties, and what is your response?
"Can you get me a copy of the Rough Guide to ... ?" wherever they happen to be going next. I tell them to buy their own because we need the royalties.Reuse content

cloud backup
Cloud backup, or cloud computer backup, refers to backing up data to a remote, cloud-based server. As a form of cloud storage, cloud backup data is stored in and accessible from multiple distributed and connected resources that comprise a cloud (see "cloud computing").
Cloud Backup Solutions
Cloud backup solutions enable enterprises or individuals to store their data and computer files on the Internet using a storage service provider, rather than storing the data locally on a physical disk, such as a hard drive or tape backup.
Cloud backup providers enable customers to remotely access the provider's services using a secure client log in application to back up files from the customer's computers or data center to the online storage server using an encrypted connection.
How to Restore a Cloud Backup
To update or restore a cloud backup, customers need to use the service provider's specific client application or a Web browser interface. Files and data can be automatically saved to the cloud backup service on a regular, scheduled basis, or the information can be automatically backed up anytime changes are made (also known as a "cloud sync").
Enterprise-Grade Cloud Backup
For enterprises, enterprise-grade cloud backup solutions are available that typically add essential features such as archiving and disaster recovery. Archiving features help to satisfy an enterprise's legal requirements for data retention, and as part of a company's disaster recovery plan, the remote, off-site storage provided by cloud backup helps ensure the data remains safe should the enterprise's local data be jeopardized by a disaster such as a fire, flood, hacker attack or employee theft.
Cloud backup may also be referred to as online backup or online storage.

[author: Alice Wang]
Year after year, Singapore is one of the most prime and thriving economy's in Greater Asia. Given its centrally situated geographic location, Singapore possesses a competitive economy for investments, as well as numerous business opportunities for a vast variety of service industries. If your company is considering doing business in Singapore, an understanding of the Singapore's employment and labor laws are essential.
In Singapore, the Employment Act, the Industrial Relations Act, and the Retirement Act are the three key statutes governing employment law. Additionally, other statutes, include, Trade Unions Act, Trade Disputes Act, Work Injury Compensation Act, Retirement Age Act, Workplace Safety and Health Act, Central Provident Fund Act, the Factories Act, and Employment of Foreign Manpower Act. In the absence of relevant statutory authority, common law applies and English cases are highly regarded and persuasive in Singapore.
Who Is Covered Under the Employment Act:
The Employment Act covers every employee (regardless of nationality) who is under a "Contract of Service" with an employer, except (1) persons employed in a managerial or executive position, (2) seamen, (3) domestic workers, and (4) persons employed by a Statutory Board or the Government.
In establishing a workforce in Singapore, the biggest area for a company is determining if an employee falls within a "managerial or executive" position. Positions regarded as "professional positions" or requiring and necessitating specialized training, skills, and knowledge (e.g. accountants, doctors, dentists, lawyers) are deemed to be in a managerial or executive position. However, with the exception of high level executives, the majority of business positions fall within a gray area. As a rule of thumb, managers and executives are defined as employees with executive or supervisory function, which include the: (a) authority to make decisions or influence issues of recruitment, hiring, discipline, termination, assessment of performance; (b) involvement in the formulation of strategies and policies of the company or enterprise, or (c) the involvement in overall operations and management of the company or enterprise. Depending on the position (e.g. lower level managers, executives), the specific duties and responsibilities engaged by the company to perform, and the salary negotiated, a position can be deemed partially covered by the Employment Act and partially not covered. Therefore, if a position falls within a gray area, it is ideal to consult with an attorney to make an educated and well-informed decision before proceeding to ensure compliance with Singaporean laws, including statutory law as well as case law.
What Is A Contract of Service?
In Singapore, a Contract of Service is an agreement, oral or written, that provides the terms and conditions of employment. A Contract of Service ideally must include certain information, including: (1) commencement of employment; (2) job title and scope; (3) hours of work; (4) benefits; (5) termination; and (6) code of conduct. It is noteworthy that any terms or condition less favorable than the provisions required under the Employment Act is considered illegal, null and void, and the Employment Act takes precedence over any particular contractual term or provision that is less favorable.
Firstly, the Contract of Service should at the very least state the commencement of employment or the employment period if possible. If an employee accepts a job offer agrees to a Contract of Service, but fails to appear for work, the Employment Act does not apply because the length of an employee's service is calculated from the date on which the employee commences work and not the date of confirming acceptance. Secondly, the Contract of Service should state the specific appointment, meaning the job title and job scope describing the duties and responsibilities. For best business practice, the more detail in this provision the better for the employer to ensure effective communication with the employee, and for purposes of evaluating performance and termination due to substandard performance. Thirdly, the Contract of Service should state the hours of work, the probationary period (if any), and remuneration. Fourthly, the Contract of Service should detail the employee's benefits (e.g. sick leave, annual leave, maternity leave). Employers should be mindful that maternity leave is highly regarded in Singapore and employers must comply with the well codified requirements under the Employment Act. Fifth, the Contract of Service should state the method in termination of the employment relationship and also state the notice period required. Lastly, but not least, an ideal Contract of Service explains the code of conduct expected from the employee (e.g. punctuality, performance, professionalism in the work place, etc.). A provision explaining that misconduct (e.g. dishonesty, theft, disorderly or immoral conduct, willful subordination, etc.) will be investigated thoroughly, and disciplinary action up to termination can and will be effectuated, should be included.
The employer may terminate a Contract of Service without waiting the notice period to expire by paying the other party a sum equal to the salary that would have been earned by the employee during the required notice period. Contracts that require employees to pay a monetary amount (in addition to notice pay) to the employer for terminating the contract are not governed by the Employment Act, and civil court remedies must be sought to determine the outcome. Employers must be mindful that an employee may terminate an employment relationship with justification without giving notice if the employer (1) fails to pay the employee's salary within seven (7) days after salary is due or (2) if the employee is called upon to engage in work activities outside the scope of the terms of the contract.
What Is the Difference Between Contract of Service vs. Contract for Service?
In Singapore, there is a clear and distinct difference between a Contract of Service and a Contract for Service. A Contract of Service (as described above) is an agreement whereby a person is employed and agrees to serve his employer as an employee, and the employer contributes to the Central Provident Fund and provides the employee with benefits (.e. sick leave, annual leave, etc.).
A Contract for Service, however, is comparable to circumstances when a person is engaged as an independent contractor. As such, the person is a self-employed person or outside vendor engaged for a fee to perform and carry out an assignment(s) or task(s) or project(s) for the company. Under such a work arrangement, there is no employer-employee relationship, and the person is not covered under the Employment Act. To determine if a Contract of Service or a Contract for Service applies, companies need to take into consideration the degree of control over the person's performance of work, ownerships of factors of production (e.g. tools, equipment, work place, materials, etc.) and economic considerations (e.g. if the person is engaged in business for the company or for his/her own account). It is ideal to consult with an attorney to make an educated and well-informed decision before proceeding to ensure compliance with a Contract of Service or a Contract for Service.
What Laws on Employment Discrimination Are Applicable in Singapore?
The only type of employment discrimination codified in Singapore is with regard to age. The Retirement Age Act prohibits dismissals of any employee who is below the retirement age of 62 on the grounds of age. Unlike the Employment Act, the provisions of the Retirement Act applies to all employees including executives, managers, and professionals. Any employer found liable for age discrimination is held liable for a civil fine and potential imprisonment.
Although Singapore does not have equal opportunities legislation codified for other protected categories (e.g. gender, race, etc.) or laws prohibiting sexual harassment, its Constitution provides for entitlement to equal protection under the law and that their should be no discrimination based on religion, race, descent or place of birth. As a result, although rare but increasing, challenges can be brought under constitutional grounds. Under these circumstances, civil courts look to English law for constructive guidance and permit moral persuasion. Based on Singapore's work-friendly culture and it's extremely low unemployment rate, it is essential for companies to ensure a respectful and fair work environment in order to prosper in Singapore's economic and business climate.
Are Contract of Service Employer Friendly?
Companies engaging in Singapore's thriving business economy must keep in mind that the employer-employee relationship is governed by the Contract of Service. Case law demonstrates that the Contract of Service has more weight then employee handbooks or other materials detailing company policies and procedures. Hence, the Contract of Service is essential in employing and managing employees effective. If implemented and utilized properly, Contracts of Service can be an effective tool in building your global workforce and enhancing productivity in Singapore.

Serves 4-6 as a main course or 6-12 as an appetizer.
Yields 1/2 cup spice rub and 2 cups sauce
Too cold to grill outside? Slow roasting in the oven yields a rib that's just as tender and succulent. Rub the ribs with a zesty spice blend, and you'll swear they came from a backyard BBQ pit.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F. Sprinkle and press 1/4 cup of the rub on both sides of each rib rack. Put the racks, meaty side up, on a broiling pan or a wire roasting rack set over a baking sheet. Lightly season the ribs with salt and put them in the oven. After the first hour, rotate the pan every 30 minutes (Note: If you use two baking sheets, switch their position in the oven, too). The ribs will sizzle gently as they cook, and they'll become tender after about 2 hours in the oven.
To test for doneness, pick up the center of the ribs with tongs; the ends of the ribs should flop downward (this means the fat and cartilage have broken down), and a skewer inserted between the ribs should meet little resistance. If the meat between the ribs is still tough, keep cooking, checking every 15 minutes and rotating the pan.
To make the sauce, heat the oil and add the onion to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato purée, brown sugar, tomato paste, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, mustard, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne and stir well. Turn down the heat to low and let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt, and let cool to room temperature. The sauce will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
Remove the rib racks from the oven, put them on a cutting board meaty side down (so they're easier to slice), and slice them into individual ribs. Arrange the ribs on a platter and serve with the sauce on the side.

The Great Chicago Piano War
The battle between eastern and midwestern manufacturers hit fortissimo when the world's most famous wizard of the keyboard turned up for the opening concert of the Columbian Exposition
October 1970 | Volume 21, Issue 6
A few days later Paderewski left for Europe, after cancelling his last New York appearances because of Chicago-induced fatigue. Years later he said, "It took all the energy and skill and tact of Theodore Thomas and all his friends to obtain the agreement of the committee to my playing on a Steinway piano," which shows that he certainly missed some of the fine points of the proceedings! Vicious post-mortems of the affair and slanderous personal attacks ran for months in the Chicago press, eventually driving Thomas out of his job as music director of the fair and almost losing him the Chicago Symphony.
For several days after the opening concerts the Chicago Evening Post mounted a vitriolic campaign against the Steinways. On May 5 the Chicago Herald ran a full-page ad from Lyon, Potter, the music store with the local Steinway franchise. Lyon, Potter piously and somewhat impishly denied that either it or the House of Steinway had been paying the Evening Post for all that free publicity. "At the same time," Lyon, Potter added, "we beg to tender to the publishers of said newspaper our thanks for having brought the S TEINWAY P IANOFORTE so conspicuously to the attention of the public, and we invite all persons who have any curiosity to see the pianos manufactured by STEINWAY AND SONS to call at our warerooms, where we will be pleased to ... show them the merits of those superior musical instruments, of which we are the sole representatives."
The piano that Paderewski had played at the fair was put on display in the main showroom of the music store, and for days crowds stretched around the block waiting for a chance to file by and look at it. In the end it was the only real winner in the Great Chicago Piano War.
