You are busy, busy. You're negotiating two super-important matters and your clients are constantly clamoring for your attention.
Then bam: You get hit with a summons to show up at 9:00 a.m. sharp for jury duty. Deferred it for another day? Not an option; you've already used up your chits. In fact, the summons reminds you that you could be haul off to jail if you fail to show up this time.
Pity the poor, over-worked lawyer who must drag her tail to the courthouse for the black hole known as jury duty.
Is there no way out? There is. And it's simple: Lie.
This summer, during jury selection for a rape trial where I was eventually picked as a juror (yes, it was weird that anyone would want a lawyer/journalist on a jury), I saw first hand how some people, including lawyers, got off. What I witness was creative, ridiculous and, sometimes, appalling.
Most of the ones that got off claimed that they couldn't be objective. Some of the young women said that their instinct is to always side with the alleged victim—in this case, a 12-year old girl. Knowing how much sexual assault is a hot topic on campuses these days, I find it plausible that some millennials have a knee jerk reaction. The lawyers (at least the defense) must have felt the same way because no young women ended up on the jury.
But some potential jurors were clearly overstating the reason they couldn't serve. One Asian American said that he would have difficulty discussing evidence involving graphic sexual details with his fellow jurors. "In my culture, we're not comfortable talking about those things," he explained. (As an Asian American, I find this totally bogus.)
Then, there was a long string of people who claim to have friends or relatives who were sexual abuse victims, or know therapists or social workers who've treated them. Based on those relationships, many said they couldn't possibly be keep an open mind.
But the most strategic liar? That award goes to a lawyer, of course. During voir dire one morning, a young associate at a firm was asked if he had any reason he couldn't serve. He answered absolutely not. But after our lunch break, he suddenly had a revelation. "I thought long and hard about this case," he announced to the court, "and I remember I do have a close friend who was sexually assaulted, and it'll be hard for me to be objective." He was quickly dismissed.
That was slimy, but it gets better. At the end of the day, this lawyer gloated to those of us who got picked. He said he deliberately waited until the afternoon to make his revelation because it would be too late in the day to put his name back in the jury pool for another trial. "I figure if I waited long enough, the odds would increase that I'd get off completely." And he was right. He showed off the coveted piece of paper from the court that exempts him from jury duty for the next six years, and he went his merry way.
What a piece of work. Lying to get off a civic duty is reprehensible for anyone. But for a lawyer, it feels particularly sleazy and shameful.
Lucky for him I didn't catch his name.

The sense of independence and a new mission was overwhelming. Dad and his friend Columbus searched for a room to stay for a night before they could seek permanent lodging. They walked the streets of Downtown Hartford, where a Black doorman at a hotel surreptitiously told them, "Hey, these places are for whites only, you need to go somewhere else." The Negro doormen pointed them in the direction of the small colored community section in Hartford. So much for the end of segregation.

My Dad stated that upon disembarking the bus that they were people seeking factory workers. Hartford had Royal and Underwood Typewriter factories, plus other major manufacturing plants. Dad was so excited about getting a job at Hartford Machine Screw Company (Now Stanadyne, Inc.) that he worked as many hours as he could. He sent money back home to his mother, Lily Primus, whom as you will recall was a cook.
Clifford made so much money that his mother chided, "Now, son, I don't know what you are doing up there but I raised you to be a respectable man!" Grandma thought my father was doing something illegal! She had never seen that much money before and my father quickly surpassed the earnings of both of his parents. Dad earned 57 cents and hour and his father, a landscaper for a wealthy man as I mentioned ealier, earned 12 dollars a week. For the rest of my Grandmother's life, my father sent money to his mother.

Hartford Machine was a company that was considered a defense plant. The factory was located in Windsor, CT, Connecticuts's first town. Windsor was established by English settlers from the Plymouth Colony in 1633. It is considered a suburb of Hartford, CT. Of course, Windsor is named after a town in England and Hartford is derived from the English town named "Hertford". In any event, after a brief stint in Hartford, Windsor became my parent's permanent hometown for six decades.
Dad also did maintenance work for both Windsor Federal Savings and the Windsor House. "When did you have time to sleep dad?", I inquired. "Sleep?! Didn't have time for it." This was in addition to weekly family trips to New York and any other organizations he belonged to. With his younger brother some years later, my father had a trucking company, called the Clifford H. Primus Company. The H stands for Hamilton, his adopted middle name. Dad even got his real estate license in order to sell houses and property.

In 1941 The United States entered World War II and defense plants were extremely busy. Strong men and later women, were needed to run factories efficiently and to keep up with orders. Dad was working long hours and saving his money. For all intents and purposes, he was exempt for serving in the military. So how did Clifford Primus end up being a Montford Point Marine?

VIRGINIA ROSENBERG, PLAINTIFF,v.CHESAPEAKE PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH CARE PACKAGING, AND CHESAPEAKE PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING COMPANY LLC, DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Hurley, Senior District Judge:
Plaintiff brings this action against defendants, her former employer, alleging gender discrimination in the workplace pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII") as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e, et seq., and New York Executive Law §290, et seq. ("NYHRL"). Before the Court is defendants' motion for summary judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. For the reasons that follow, defendants' motion is granted.
In 2006, Virginia Rosenberg ("plaintiff") was hired as Human Resources Manager for Arlington Press, a pharmaceutical packaging company, which was later acquired by Chesapeake Corporation and renamed Chesapeake Pharmaceutical & Health Care Packaging ("Chesapeake I"). (Defendants' Statement of Uncontested Facts Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 56.1 ("Defs.' 56.1") ¶ 2.)*fn1 Plaintiff remained under Chesapeake I's employ for over three years, during which time she received regular raises and satisfactory performance reviews. (Plaintiff's Affidavit in Opposition to Defendants' Motion ("Pl.'s Aff.") ¶ 18.) In early 2009, Chesapeake I underwent a corporate restructuring as a result of its having declared bankruptcy, and as a result of its having been bought out by Chesapeake Pharmaceutical Packaging Company ("Chesapeake II"). (Defs.' 56.1 ¶¶ 18-19.) Plaintiff volunteered to handle, among other things, the company's conversion to a new payroll and benefits computer system managed by ADP. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 24.)
Following this period of transition, plaintiff was informed that her position had been eliminated and that a "newly expanded" human resources position had been created for which she would not be considered. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶¶ 37-38; Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 61.) Chesapeake II, allegedly unhappy with plaintiff's performance during the transition, terminated plaintiff and hired Christopher Mathews ("Mathews")*fn2 -a male from outside the company-to fill the position. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 43; Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 60.)
Plaintiff alleges that Mathews is "less experienced, less educated and [] less qualified" for a position that entailed "the exact same duties [plaintiff] was performing at the time of [her] termination." (Pl.'s Aff. ¶¶ 47, 51.)
In 2006, Robin Henfling ("Henfling"), the President of Chesapeake I, hired plaintiff for the Human Resources Manager position at Chesapeake I's operating plant in Lake Success, New York ("Long Island office").*fn3 (Defs.' 56.1 ¶¶ 3, 5.) At the time of plaintiff was hired, Chesapeake I also maintained plants in Lexington and Raleigh, North Carolina, with its corporate headquarters located in Richmond, Virginia. (Id. ¶ 5.)
a.Plaintiff's Qualifications and Credentials
Plaintiff has a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Montclair State University and a Master's Degree in Applied Psychology from Stevens Institute of Technology. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 4.) In 2002, Plaintiff obtained her Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) Certification from the Society of Human Resources Management. (Id. ¶ 5.) Plaintiff had approximately ten years of experience working in various human resources positions prior to her position with Defendants. (Id. ¶ 6.) In a majority of these positions, plaintiff was responsible for administering and overseeing payroll and benefits for company employees. (Id. ¶ 8.)
b.Plaintiff's Responsibilities at Chesapeake I
In her role as Human Resources Manager, plaintiff had numerous responsibilities including, but not limited to, designing and implementing policies and procedures relating to human resources, recruiting and interviewing prospective employees, assuring company compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity standards, investigating workplace accidents, assisting with union contracts and negotiations, and performing anti-harassment training for management. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶¶ 12-16.) Additionally, plaintiff counts among her responsibilities "act[ing] as a liaison between the Long Island office and Chesapeake Headquarters with regard to benefit programs." (Id. ¶ 13.) Among the "essential accountabilities" listed in plaintiff's job description is the administration of benefit programs provided to employees as well as "wage and salary administration and data input." (Job Description, Pl.'s Ex. C.) However, despite its inclusion in her job description, plaintiff did not actually administer benefits or handle payroll for Chesapeake I -- a fact that neither party disputes. (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 22.) In fact, defendants assert that one of their corporate employees in Richmond, Virginia, Janet Whitley, was responsible for administering Chesapeake I's benefits and for handling payroll for all of the company's locations. (Def. 56.1 ¶ 15.)
Plaintiff received a number of positive performance reviews, (see Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 18; Pl.'s Ex. E), as well as several raises during her tenure at Chesapeake I, (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 18; Pl.'s Ex. F). It is plaintiff's belief that she had a good relationship with all of her supervisors, including Henfling. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 17.)
c.Plaintiff's Involvement in the Corporate Restructuring and Transition from Chesapeake I to Chesapeake II
In December 2008, Chesapeake I declared bankruptcy. (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 18.) On May 1, 2009, Chesapeake Pharmaceutical Packaging Company ("Chesapeake II") purchased Chesapeake I's assets as well as its brand name, prompting Chesapeake I to terminate all of its employees, including plaintiff. (Id. ¶ 19.) On May 1, 2009, Chesapeake II subsequently hired back plaintiff in addition to other former Chesapeake I employees. (Id.) Henfling, who became President of Chesapeake II, was responsible for the entirety of the corporate restructuring and transition. (Id.¶¶ 19, 23.)
As part of this restructuring, Chesapeake II began looking into administering its own benefits and payroll at its Long Island office, rather than at the Chesapeake Headquarters in Richmond. (Id. ¶ 24.) Given her experience in handling benefits and payroll at other companies, and recognizing Chesapeake II's need for transitional help in converting to new payroll and benefits systems, plaintiff volunteered to handle this aspect of the transition. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶¶ 22-24.) She further volunteered to manage the payroll and benefits going forward as part of Chesapeake II's operations. (Id. ¶ 24.) Although neither party disputes that plaintiff was to have a "substantial role" in the conversion process, (id. ¶ 26), the parties appear to disagree as to the extent to which plaintiff was expected to take a leadership role in said process.*fn4
Defendants maintain that plaintiff performed poorly during the transition from Chesapeake I to Chesapeake II and that, during the transition, Henfling found plaintiff "to be disorganized, not attentive to details and[] incapable of managing the project." (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 40 (citing Henfling Dep. 70-71).) Defendants contend that, as a result, Henfling had to become "intimately involved in the minutiae of the payroll and benefits conversion project, performing tasks that plaintiff was expected to have handled in an organized fashion." (Id. at ¶ 52.) Specifically, defendants blame plaintiff for a number of alleged blunders, including mixing up the dates for meetings between benefit vendors and Chesapeake employees,*fn5 (id. at ¶¶ 45-46), failing to compile necessary forms (such as the W-4, I-9, and benefit-enrollment documents) into organized packages to be distributed to employees which would have allowed Chesapeake to capture necessary data in an ordered fashion, (id. at ¶ 55), and committing a number of errors on a spreadsheet containing 401(k) deduction data, (id. at ¶ 52). Plaintiff contends that, "until May 7, 2009, [she] never received any criticism, complaints and/or concerns regarding [her] work performance while . . . employed by the Defendants." (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 29.)
d.Plaintiff's Termination
On May 7, 2009, Plaintiff was invited to lunch by Mr. John McKeough ("McKeough"), defendants' Vice President of Operations. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 30.) During this lunch meeting, McKeough informed plaintiff that Henfling "wasn't feeling confident in [plaintiff's] abilities." (Id. at ¶ 31.) However, plaintiff contends that the only specific criticism McKeough was able to provide was that plaintiff had a "messy" desk. (Id. at ¶ 32.) McKeough then offered plaintiff two options: she could either proceed with the same job she had been performing since February with a "written warning" in her file, or she could accept an undefined severance package.*fn6 (Id. at ¶ 33.) Plaintiff subsequently informed McKeough that she would prefer to stay with the company. (Id. at ¶ 36.) Days later, however, plaintiff was informed that, as a result of the creation of a "newly expanded" Human Resources position, plaintiff's position had been eliminated and, as a result, the offer to stay on the job with a written warning had been rescinded. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶¶ 37-38; Defs.' 56.1 ¶¶ 61-62.) Plaintiff's last day of work was June 30, 2009. (Pl.'s Aff. ¶ 39.)
a.Mathews's Qualifications and Credentials
Mathews began working for Chesapeake II as the "Human Resources and Benefits Manager, North America" on July 6, 2009. (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 80.) He has been employed with Defendants ever since.
Mathews earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Johnson and Wales University in 2004. (Id. at ¶ 74; Mathews Resume, Pl.'s Ex. K.) In his most recent position, which he held for four years, Mathews was "responsible for managing human resources for approximately 500 employees at eight sites throughout the Country." (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 73.) In other prior positions, Mathews dealt with union-related issues, had multi-site responsibilities, supervised other human-resource employees, and handled a payroll and benefits transition to an ADP/HRB system -- the new system to which Chesapeake II had just transitioned at the time of his hire. (Id. at ¶ 78.) Mathews does not have a certificate from SPHR. (Id. at ¶ 79.)
b.Mathews's Position at Chesapeake II
The Human Resources and Benefits Manager position is described as one which "provides leadership and direction to Chesapeake North American operations," and acts "as a strategic partner to the Senior Management Team and [is] responsible for managing and leading the Human Resources and Administrative functions." (See Job Description, Pl.'s Ex. M.) According to defendants, Mathews's overall responsibilities include "manag[ing] and oversee[ing] human resources for the New York, Lexington and Raleigh facilities," "administer[ing] benefits for all three facilities including rolling-out and negotiating the benefit plans," and acting as "the human resources liaison with Chesapeake II's European corporate parent." (Defs.' 56.1 ¶ 81.) Additionally, ...

Her mother, Nisreen, says,The porcelaintiles11 is our flagship product. My daughter was martyred on the first day of the war. Our house is located in a big agricultural area. I remember hearing that day news about the assassination of Ahmed Jabari, so I brought my children together and got ready to go to the house of my family. And the moment my son Jalal and two daughters Maria and Ronan came to me to help them get dressed, the house disintegrated under heavy shelling.
With tears streaking down her face, she adds, I was buried with only my face showing. I called out to my children and I heard my son Jalal, who was barely 7 at the time, say, Mom,If we don't carry the bobblehead you want we can make a iphoneheadset for you! I am suffocating. I saw my elder daughter Maria, who was 9 back then, standing and looking for us, but I did not see Ronan at all and I kept calling out for her. I felt that something had happened to her. When she reached the hospital, she insisted that her family call to ask about the fate of her daughter. At that moment, they told her Ronan had gone to heaven.
Nisreen told Al-Monitor during an interview at her recently rented house, Ronan is the youngest. She used to return from kindergarten on foot, and when she was a few minutes late I would run into the street to wait for her. Sometimes she would stop at her grandmothers and give her two kisses. She loved my mother a lot; she was a smart and loved child. I wish I had saved her, but I was covered with heavy stones. My son Jalal always asks me about her: Why did we manage to get out from under the house but she didn't? He asks me, Is Ronan drinking and eating, Mom?
Her husband Youssef says he arrived seconds after the house was bombed to find the house like a solid block of fire. He never thought he would find anyone alive, and the moment he found Ronan, he knew she was dead.
She was hit on the head from behind and I noticed her ear was damaged from the impact of the shelling. Her body was covered with pieces of shrapnel, and I thanked God that the rest of the family was okay," he said.
As they talked about Ronan's mischievousness and other memories, both her parents burst into tears. She was a naughty girl. She used to get jealous of the idea that a new baby might come into the family. She would sing the song "Mom got a baby," her mother being two months pregnant when she was hit. Her mother said, "I am seven months pregnant now, and I am expecting a boy. Had it been a girl, I would have named her Ronan. I went to her grave on Dec. 13 last year after the war. It was her birthday, and on this Mother's Day, Ronan will not offer me a rose or a card decorated with a heart, as she did last year. She will not go to school. She was waiting to turn six to register for school.
Najat Naeem is another mother who feels sorrow instead of happiness on Mother's Day. Despite having five other children, she cannot forget her youngest, Abboud. He was 2? when he was killed by shrapnel from an Israeli missile that struck a building next to them in the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City.
Naeem told Al-Monitor, Throughout the war I would put my son in my lap.We have a wide selection of handsfreeaccess to choose from for your storage needs. I could feel that something was about to happen to him and I told the people around me that I was afraid for Abboud. Indeed, the day of his death, we had a lot of kids here, as the family of my husband's brother was staying at our house along with my married daughter. They were all sitting inside the house because the area we live in was much safer. The shrapnel, however, chose my youngest son, penetrated directly into his heart, without even giving him the chance to say the word Mom.' My other son, Mahmoud, was wounded in the knee, our neighbor in his chest.
As she cries bitterly, she adds, "It has been four months since Abboud left us. He was martyred on Nov. 21, 2012 and he has been on my mind ever since. I lock myself in the room and cry alone to avoid making the rest of my children feel sad, but I am a mother and my heart will never forget my son, even if I had 20 others. Before you came, I was alone in the house, and I was thinking about Abboud, remembering him playing, hearing his voice here and there. Before his death I was teaching him how to go to the bathroom alone. I was harsh, but now I wish he could pee all over his clothes whenever and wherever he wants. I would not say a word.
As she skims through his pictures on her mobile phone, she says, This photo was taken before the war. This one was during the war, when he woke up once at dawn scared. This one was a few hours before his death. Here, he is wearing the shoes that he loves; I bought them to him from Egypt. Now I look at his things and hug them and look for his smell. He came after my other sons and daughters had grown up, but I was very attached to him.
As she sobs, she adds, "All of our neighbors and relatives liked Abboud. Recently, I felt he was getting more and more beautiful and exceptionally intelligent. His eyes and hair were so beautiful. He was so tender. He used to brush my hair and I can still hear him telling me, How beautiful! Each Mother's Day is sad for me because my mother died many years ago, but on this holiday, my sadness is deeper because of the death of my son, and I thank God for the presence of the rest of my children here to tell me happy Mother's Day.
On this Mother's Day, its the other way around for Razan, 9, and her sister Mirhan, 18, who are missing their mother. In the last war, on Nov. 18, 2012, Israeli warplanes pounded their house, killing their mother, who was trapped under tons of rubble.
With a smile, Razan says she offered her mother carnations last year as her sisters bought her gifts. This holiday, however, she will put roses on her grave.
Her father, Osman, is lying on the couch, with his right leg fixed with platinum screws. He told Al-Monitor, "My wife used to take care of everything, of all her seven daughters, of her five sons and she would remember our sixth son, the martyr Muhammad, who was killed during the occupation in 2006. When she was martyred, I learned about many of the problems and concerns that she used to hide from me and deal with in her own way. I was with her in the house when a strong and quick wind came and buried us under the two-story house; it was the power of the bomb.
With her eyes fixed on the ground, Mirhan says, "I'm getting married next week,Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms. and I was hoping my mother would be with me in my wedding. My elder sister Mervat is taking her place now and helping me in everything.
"Mother's Day here will be sad. I will never forget when the medical staff got me out from under the rubble and I heard them say that my mother died. I sometimes imagine hearing her laughter and voice around the house. Had she been here, my happiness would have been greater on my wedding day."
According to the Mezan Center for Human Rights, the number of dead in the recent war, which lasted eight days during the month of November 2012, reached 168, including 34 children and 13 women, and 1,046 injured, including 446 children and 105 women.You've probably seen bestearcap at some point.

Delph has Agbonlahor sympathy
Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph is relieved team-mate Gabriel Agbonlahor's knee injury is not as severe as initially thought.
Last Updated: 08/08/12 2:22pm
Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph is relieved that team-mate Gabriel Agbonlahor's knee injury is not as severe as initially thought.
Agbonlahor is likely to be sidelined for at least a month because of the medial ligament damage he suffered during Villa's pre-season tour of the USA.
This means that the 25-year-old will miss the start of the new Premier League season, but Delph, who himself has endured knee problems in the past, is glad that the injury is not too severe.
"It is a blow because in pre-season Gabby has done really well and against Chicago, before his injury, he was unbelievable," he is quoted as saying in the Birmingham Mail.
"The boys are disappointed, but I'm sure in a few weeks he will be back with us and he seems pretty confident because he's naturally fit.
"You don't know anything until you get the scan back. I've had problems with my knee, so you can't guess, you've got to get these things checked and then you know exactly what you've done.

Because ridiculously bright toenails are good fun.
I picked up this cool tangerine shade, named 'I Like Pina Coladas', from Rubi Shoes. It only cost me SGD 2.95 for a 15ml bottle. Quality's nowhere near that of China Glaze or OPI, but at this rock-bottom price and for such an atrociously happy (borderline hipster) colour, I am perfectly happy and willing to touch up however often is needed 🙂

The company, parent of City National Bank, said Thursday that it earned $66.7 million, or $1.11 a share, compared with $59.7 million, or $1.04, in last year's second quarter. Revenue rose 12% to $320 million.
The consensus of 20 analysts surveyed by Thompson Financial had been for a profit of 98 cents a share on $309 million in revenue.
City National's assets grew to a record $30.8 billion, up 4% from the first quarter this year and 12% from a year earlier. The bank set aside no new funds to cover losses and released $1 million in previous loss reserves because credit quality improved.
Bank Chairman Russell Goldsmith said the company is "well-positioned for continued progress" the rest of the year with moderate growth in profit for the year.

Some guy named Chez is leading the John Deere Classic. Outside of Chez's 14 family members, that won't get anyone excited. The good news (for the JDC) is, two-time defending champion, Steve Stricker, is only two strokes off the pace. No golfer has won back-to-back-to-back tournaments since some guy named Tiger won his third straight WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2007.
Is the JDC the easiest tournament on the PGA Tour? Chez is on pace to shoot 28-under. That's just ridiculous. This is why I love to watch the US Open. It's usually the one time a year when the pro's look like the Joe's.
There are few things less interesting than pre-season watch lists, but at least it gives us a chance to talk college football. Iowa's Shaun Prater and ISU's Jake Knott are up for the Nagurski award, givin to the nation's top defensive player. The Outland watch list names Iowa's Riley Rieff, and ISU's Kelechi Osemele.
I somehow lost by lob wedge at an Iowa golf course, this month. If anyone finds a Titleist 60-degree with a yellow grip, please send it to the TV station. My short game has gone to hell in a golf bag.
So we'll never again see a space shuttle lift off from Cape Canaveral? That's kind of sad. Although, I would like to know what all we've accomplished by sending men and women into space.
I'm watching Dateline NBC (as I do every Friday during the summer because I'm too lazy to change the channel), and they're interviewing a few jurors from the Casey Anthony trial. One of them looks like he's been on a Florida beach for the past month. This thing is starting to make sense to me.
Anthony has reportedly already been offered a part in a porn flick. Experts also say that she could make several million dollars by selling her story. The good news (for her) is, 12 people have already bought it.
Does anyone care about the Women's World Cup? The only person I've heard talk about it is our intern, Mel. It just so happens that she's a member of the Drake soccer team.
Yao Ming retired today. He becomes the first player in NBA history to retire before actually playing a meaningful game.
There's nothing better than stumbling upon a good show that's been on TV for years, and having the ability to watch episode-after-episode on DVD. 'The Wire' is that show, this summer. I just finished season one, and I love it. If only I had never watched a single Seinfeld episode before.

Small-business niches are quickly filled in Hanoi. Anywhere that potential customers gather you will find a stall selling drinks or food, a roadside cobbler, a roaming shoeshine operator.
While waiting for a bus recently I watched a woman set up her business selling drinks next to the bus stop. She turned up on a bicycle which had a small, low plastic table strapped cross-ways and upended on the back behind the seat. The rest of her business inventory was packed on top of it; the ubiquitous kindergarten-size plastic stools for customers to sit on, cans and bottles of drinks, glasses and a small brush broom with a bamboo handle. This last item she used to sweep clear dust and debris from the two or three square metres of pavement her business would occupy for a few hours.
Such scenes would be repeated hundreds of times across Hanoi each day, f not thousands.
A cobbler near my office works on about two square metres of pavement under a tarpaulin while breathing in the traffic fumes from a busy road. . He has no workbench, sitting on the ground as he skilfully mends shoes with a handful of simple tools. He could easily pack his business on to the back of the bicycle at the end of each day.
Another familiar scene is the business conducted from a bike, a cart or even from a couple of cane baskets. Women wheel bicycles fitted with frames from which hangs household products, such as mops, baskets and buckets. Other women push carts about the size of a wheel barrow, also fitted with frames that are crowded with clothes or shoes. Men sell hardware displayed on bicycles.
I suspect that all these micro-business people work not only for little money but also for long hours. The street I live on is unusually quiet for Hanoi with no through traffic, and I have seen street vendors having a nap on the footpath there, next to their goods.
Some businesses take up even less room. Women sell fruit, vegetables or flowers from large shallow cane baskets attached to the rear of their bicycles, or from two of the baskets suspended from bamboo poles balanced on their shoulders, fore to aft.
Youths go from cafe to cafe carrying rags, a spray bottle of water and polish as they look for shoes to shine for about 5000 dong (30 cents) a pair. I recently met a youth who is now being assisted with a proper education by the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation. He used to be one of the shoe shiners, and made around one US dollar a day.
Then there are the street restaurants, all surrounded by those tiny plastic stools.
Some sell only drinks, such as the one that set up near my bus stop, or the ones that offer sugar-cane juice, freshly squeezed on the spot.
Others sell food, and generally only the one dish, such as banh mi, a bread roll with egg or meat, pho bo, a beef noodle soup, or bun cha, a soup with barbecued pork and pork meatballs. The dishes are cooked on small coal-fired braziers. The coal comes pressed into squat cylinder shapes about 25 centimetres long, which fit neatly inside each brazier – and, of course are also sold from bicycles.

Uni Chapter 5
A historico-comparative
study of Affirmative Action and Employment Equity in South
Africa is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, it draws attention to the history of the country highlighting the fact that the present-day South Africa is deeply rooted in historical "myths and misrepresentations,
divisions and conflict" (Hartshorne,
1992: 20-21). Secondly, an historical perspective will offer explanations and provide background information against which perceptions and attitudes of the different racial groups towards Affirmative Action and Employment Equity in the country emerged. This would contribute to a deeper understanding and appreciation of them. Thirdly, and more specifically, it will contribute to a better understanding of the need for and relevance of Affirmative Action and Employment Equity particularly in Higher Education in the country.
Fourthly, it would serve as a catalyst for the introduction and type of
Action and Employment
Equity policies
that will contribute
successful transformation of Higher Education in South Africa. Fifthly, it will highlight the unique challenges and/or constraints faced by Higher Education institutions in South Africa in their attempts to implement Affirmative Action/Employment
Prior to the historically significant free election of 27th April 1994 which ushered in democratic South Africa, the educational system upheld the ideology of apartheid. The characteristics
and intended objective of this system are aptly crystallized
following statement made in the House of Assembly in 1945 :
by the
"We should not give the natives [Blacks] an academic education, as some people are prone to do.
If we do this we shall be later
burdened with a number of academically
Europeans and
and who is going to do the manual labour in the
country? ... I am in thorough agreement with the view that we should so conduct our schools that the native who attends those schools will know that to a great extent he must be the labourer in the country."
Education was, therefore, the institutional mechanism of oppression driven and secured by apartheid regime to suppress the Black majority educationally, economically, politically
and socially.
Student enrollment statistics, Higher Education staff
composition as well as the allocation of resources over the years reveal that this mechanism, through its carefully planned penetration into the respective cultures, enabled the apartheid authorities to establish a society based on segregation and discrimination.
The 1905 School Board's Act set the mechanism in motion when it
provided state schools for White pupils only (Kumbula, 1993 : 14-18). "This gave Whites the head start that characterize their present social, economic, political and educational
to this day" (Lindsay, 1997 : 523). It was only in 1976,
following the Soweto riots, did school attendance become compulsory for African (Black) children.
Once set in motion, the apartheid mechanism of oppression was
maintained. African educational institutions were e.g., allocated the least resources, insofar as staffing, level of training, textbooks, equipment, etc., were concerned.
A brief history of Higher Education in South Africa (universities and technikons) is necessary at this point to provide a historical appreciation of the categories of types and sub-types of such institutions. It will also provide an understanding of some of the socio-historical forces which shaped this clustering of institutions into their respective types and sub-types.
Such knowledge will invariably provide a useful background
against which staffing trends, Equity efforts, as well as challenges and constraints, unique to the respective institutions,...

The olive project launched two years ago in Okombahe in the Daures Constituency of Erongo Region has suffered a major setback due to a lack of water in the area.
The olive project was launched alongside two others, the date project in Otjimbingwe, as well as the vegetable greenhouse at Namapost. Residents at Okombahe told New Era on Wednesday that both projects are experiencing difficulties due to the lingering drought the country is experiencing.
The projects was launched in 2014 by the Erongo Regional Council, in partnership with Namsov Community Trust, as an attempt to reduce poverty through sustainable self-employment projects in Daures Constituency.
Governor of Erongo Region Cleophas Mutjavikua on Wednesday, during the launch of Erongo Red's rural electrification project, said the scarcity of water remains the biggest stumbling block, not only for the olive project but for the entire region.
"Any cultivation should go hand to hand with water and, therefore, we have surveyed and drilled on the land that was given to us by the !Oe#Gan Traditional Authority. We spent money to drill for water, however we could just not find any water," Mutjavikua said.
"The committee will now go back to the drawing board to look at other alternatives. Hopefully we will come up with a different modus operandi," he added.
Earlier this year the governor also appealed to NamWater to explore possible solutions to the water shortage experienced in the region, before it becomes a veritable crisis.
The governor believes that for water to remain affordable it must be supplied by a publicly-owned utility, like Namwater, but also noted that due to the high infrastructure costs public-private partnership arrangements should be considered, particularly in the construction of desalination plants that could augment water supply, especially to areas such as Daures.
Mutjavikua argued that the "over-regulation" of water and energy services presents a developmental challenge for the mineral-rich region.
He believes easing regulatory restrictions on water and energy supply to allow private entities to enter the market would be beneficial for the country and the region, as it would allow the mines to venture into energy and water supply services and thus lessen the burden of service provision on government.

Kitchen area Island Layouts: How To Choose The Right One
Kitchen area Island designs are necessary to consider if you assume a cooking area island would certainly suit well with your present setup. If you have decided that a cooking area island is a great idea (and also it typically is, if you desire more job area and/or eating space), right here are some points to consider to make sure that you choose the right one for your needs and design:
Indian Island Kitchen Designs Red Indian Island Kitchen Design Godrej
1. Identify exactly what you're going to utilize the island for.
Kitchens, Indian Kitchen Designs, Nobilia kitchens India
When selecting an island layout for your kitchen, among one of the most effective steps is to figure out the feature of the island. Will you utilize it strictly as a place to eat as well as talk? Will you use it for a microwave, refrigerator, or sink? There's no "appropriate" or "incorrect" feature of your kitchen island. Instead, it is very important to identify just how it can improve your time in the kitchen.
Ideas With White Brown Colors Kitchen Cabinets And Kitchen Island
2. You can add food preparation surface areas beneath the island.While food preparation belongs to any type of kitchen, it's not the most awesome view for others to see. The good news is, you could create levels of prep work areas beneath the island's surface area. This allows you to do whatever cutting, blending, and also various other activities you need to do-without everybody seeing the mess.
3. Provide sufficient clearance.
Traditional Kitchen Designs – Modern Kitchen Island
That must suffice room in between your island and also kitchen cabinets. Specifically, three to 4 feet is usually ample. If you remain in uncertainty, supply even more room, to ensure that your family will fit around the kitchen area island table. Furthermore, when you put in your island, make certain you measure so that you sure you have sufficient clearance. This will certainly aid avoid blunders or crashes due to the fact that there are things that are as well near the kitchen island.
4. Choose the right surface area.Relying on just what you utilize the island for, you will should pick the appropriate surface.
5. Check out the big picture.

When you choose a layout for the cooking area island, have a look at the remainder of your kitchen area decor. Relying on just what you want, you can match the island to your cooking area decor, or you can contrast it with it, as long as it opts for your overall motif. For instance, you might make your island match your kitchen cabinets specifically, or you could contrast them and also match them to the kitchen area table chairs in your kitchen instead. This is among the much more popular trends in modern cooking areas, as a matter of fact, to match the kitchen island to the furniture instead of to the closets, so be sure to focus on the kitchen area table chairs also.
6. Should your kitchen area island be "post legs" open design, or cupboard design?
Both of these designs could help to enhance any kitchen. When choosing either style, make sure to consider the form as well as feature of your island. For example, if you're using the island for greater than a table, after that the cupboard design island would certainly be a sensible choice. Nonetheless, if you desire the island to be a location strictly to eat and chat-then think about one with message legs.
An excellent kitchen island can aid your kitchen look even far better than it is. It's generally a way to add added "furnishings" your kitchen for much-needed added room, to make sure that you can have added seating or a bigger food preparation location. Whether you require extra eating space, more cooking area, or both, an excellent kitchen island can satisfy your needs for you.

My life has been a bit strange these past couple of weeks, good strange not bad strange, busier than I thought it would be and a drain on resources most particularly sleep. So yesterday instead of getting out I decided to vegetate in the house except for a brief sojourn in the evening and went to sleep as early as I could manage. By 6.15am this morning my head was pounding like a mallet tenderizing meat (thanks Cooking Mama!).
Apparently getting a headache when you oversleep is very common. From WebMD: For some people prone to headaches, sleeping longer than usual on a weekend or vacation can cause head pain. Researchers believe this is due to the effect oversleeping has on certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin. People who sleep too much during the day and disrupt their nighttime sleep may also find themselves suffering from headaches in the morning.
Unfortunately for me, my regular sleeping duration is between 5-6 hours daily. I have been asked before if I am a light sleeper and the answer is I don't know, I don't think so. I mean, I can fall asleep instantaneously anywhere in any kind of condition whatsoever (under the staircase, in the LRT, at the back of the lecture hall, in the middle of reading a book or playing a game etc). But, I cannot sleep more than 5-6 hours at a stretch without waking up with a f*cking headache like I do right now. So, I am exhausted physically, but I am afraid to sleep because I don't want to wake up grumpy. I am grumpy now.
I also need water. Water water water water water. The problem is, when I go out I tend to drink a lot less water than had I been sitting put in a place. I don't know why. So the more I go out, the more dehydrated I become. It's a vicious circle. No sleep, no water. People always complain that my handbag is so heavy. That's because I keep a bottle of mineral water in my handbag at all times. But when you have too much of a good time, you tend to forget to rehydrate.
So right now I am PAYING for it!

LLBean, Your Commercial Disturbs Me
An innocent commercial, yes? First of all, I grew up in a very LLBean family, I've been to their main HQ, I still get the catalog and several blatant LLBean items lie around our house (OMG love their monogrammed travel organizer, for the regular traveler it is LIFE). However, this commercial reminded me of a lesson taught to us by my high school junior English teacher, Dr. Street. We were reading the Grapes Of Wrath and studying the Great Depression and I remember very vividly studying the song in this commercial, Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Here's the original last stanza:
The punk rolled up his big blue eyes
And said to the jocker, "Sandy,
I've hiked and hiked and wandered too,
But I ain't seen any candy.
I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I'll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."
Hobo culture was romanticised to lure in little boys and the last stanza is where he realizes it's not all it's cracked up to be. A "jocker" was a hobo who traveled with a young boy who was not his son, read between the lines, pedophile. "Buggered and sore like a hobo's whore" which is basically saying, sodomized. So LLBean, you used a song originally about raping little boys to advertise your back to school backpack sale. FIRE YOUR ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT. I mean seriously, who is going to be convinced to buy their son a backpack with a song that conjures up such an image? Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

This is a good product for the price. I bought this in gold and the top layer was great, but then it got tacky and gluey. There isn't too much fallout, considering that it is just glitter, but it doesn't all stay put. Overall pretty and very nicely priced, but not something I would repurchase. If I did repurchase, I would buy it in silver. Then I could use it as a highlighter. As of right now, I use it as eye glitter and as an accent to my lip and cheek colors.

Def repurchase!! I have the pink currently but I always keep at least one color in my rotation. I wish it was more portable, I do not feel comfortable trusting it in my purse. I use a huge loose powder brush I have specifically designated for glitter to apply it. I have a weakness for glitter & shimmer. Can't beat the price & each container is deceptively small but one lasts me quite a while!! Around Halloween WnW comes out with a body glitter gel and I usually go to a few stores & buy it all up so I am set for the entire year. Both of these are my HG glitters!! I would not put too much of this near your eyes esp if you wear contacts; it irritates my eyes if I get very much of it in my eyes. Love how the shades are iridescent..... Soooooo pretty!! I will always luv glitter.

I love these!! I've had mine since high school, back then I bought silver and rose gold. I still have a quarter of the jar of the silver left and nearly all of the rose gold. I love how this makes me sparkle!! I used to wear it as an eyeshadow when I was in high school and everyone would ask me what eyeshadow I was wearing. I also purchased the white, perwinkle, and pink colors when they came out. Love them!!

I have had this product since 2000 and have more than half of it left. I used to wear it every day (dusted at the outer corners of my eyes) and now only wear it on certain fun, dressing up occasions- and it's still going strong.
However, I LOATHE the packaging. The glitter leaks out into the threads of the screw on top and you have to be careful of wind when you open it because a gust of breath or a breeze will blow tons of it away. Also, the plastic is too brittle and easily breaks. As my product got older it became suceptible to randomly opening in my purse, thus dousing everything else in my make-up bag in fine glitter dust.
The product itself is so fine that just the teeniest dab of your finger provides more than enough. I would definitely buy again, if I ever run out! At this rate I'll be able to pass it on to my future daughter!

Wow, there is ALOT of product in that container. I use it every know and again for ethereal looks, and I've never needed to repurchase. I've had this glitter since middle school (glitter is kind of like pigments, they don't really go bad). This is also very multi use and multi dimensional, I like the sort of multi-colored quality of it. Plus, who can argue with the price? Its so much cheaper than the caboodles glitter and they are exactly the same. Just be careful, as the packaging is kind of difficult to deal with.

Love this!! Such a cheap and basic glitter. I remember using it a lot in highschool.. I'd either wet a brush and use it as a super glittery eyeshadow, or mix it into my polish. For the price you can't go wrong.

I bought this when I was thirteen (5 years ago) and I don't have it anymore but I used to love this. I would buy it again but I haven't seen it anywhere. I used to like to blow a little bit and it looked like pixie dust on the air. Really noticable and pretty.
Open the lid slowly, it gets everywhere.

He is such an amazing father. He crams all the fun in to a few hours and I am pretty sure the best part of Madelyn's day begins at 5:30pm too!
Today, right when he walked in the door he asked Madelyn if she would join him for a walk around the neighborhood. When they came home, they whipped up a little brinner (breakfast for dinner) together in the kitchen for all of us. After we ate, he led us in a hands on family devotional. Then Madelyn challenged him to a few little games of her own. Of course he always goes along with her requests, even if they require him to make a fool of himself.

These pictures show how a 22-year-old man was left trapped in a washing machine for three hours.
Firefighters were called to the property in Sydney, Australia, after the man was discovered trapped up to his waist by his parents.
Fire crews had to dismantle the washing machine during a rescue operation which took more than an hour.
The man – who reportedly has mild autism – was taken to hospital to be checked over.
The Bankstown fire crew wrote on Facebook: "Upon arrival the crew was informed that the patient's legs had been entrapped in the washing machine for at least three hours.
"This job was interesting as the crew had not performed a washing machine rescue before.
"…..Once the exterior of the washing machine had been removed firefighters had to cut away the stainless steel drum to remove the patient from the washing drum."
It is not believed the man was injured, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Check out our own onsite workshop – we love it
The Foot and Leg Clinic manufacture all their foot orthotics on site at the Glasgow branch of the clinic. Having our very own onsite workshop offers significant advantage to the quality of orthosis produced and allows us to guarantee our patients a super speedy and accurate service.
Orthotic Manufacturer in our Hampden Clinic, Glasgow or Edinburgh
We are very proud of the orthotics we produce and would like to share this with you!
Benefits of owning our own onsite foot orthotic manufacturing facility:
- Speedy delivery times! Our foot orthotic delivery times are standard 3- 5 working days however if you require your orthotics the following day then just let us know and we'll get them ready for you!
- The clinician who carries out the biomechanical assessment is responsible for the rectification process. This ensures that the patient receives foot orthotics which are an accurate match to their foot shape and size, and also ensures that all The Foot and Leg Clinic's foot orthotics are manufactured precisely.
- The clinician has the benefit of working closely with the technician to guarantee that all foot orthotics are manufactured to the clinician's exact specification.
- We most often manufacture our foot orthotics from carbon fibre however we stock a vast range of materials and are therefore able to offer our patients the exact material which is most suited to their needs. The Foot and Leg Clinic most often utilise carbon fibre when manufacturing our foot orthotics. This is an extremely durable material and is provided with a long life guarantee. You don't need to purchase a whole new pair of foot orthotics in a couple of years' time, you simply have the same pair of orthotics refurbished!
- We can ensure our foot orthotics are kept nice and neat so they actually fit within most of your shoes!
Are you interested to learn how your foot orthotics are manufactured?
First the clinician takes a mould of your foot.
The position the foot is cast in is imperative to the design of the foot orthotics. Any untrained person is able to take a foot mould, although an experienced clinician will know how to do this accurately.
Your foot mould is then filled with Plaster of Paris until set.
The rectification process is carried out by the same clinician that performed your biomechanical assessment. This is when the cast is shaped to match the angle of correction required.
Next the orthotic technician will heat the appropriate material in the oven to the required degrees in order to drape the material over your cast. The orthotic technician will then vacuum form the orthotic shells over the plaster cast.
The orthotic shells will be trimmed on the router machine to match the cast.
Finally, the orthotic covers of selected material are attached over the orthotic shells and trimmed to match your shoe.

While key vertical market sectors clearly recognise the value of technology, more than half remain under-prepared for the future.
Citrix's perspective on the modern workspace is that a digital workspace provides a unified and contextual end to end experience for users across all types of apps and content accessed at any location and on any device.
One of the greatest challenges BYOD creates for the Enterprise is striking the delicate balance between adequate security and personal privacy.
As Citrix moves beyond thinking of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) to Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), the starting point is contemplating policy implementation on different devices.
As cybersecurity leaders gather for RSA Conference 2018, Citrix is pleased to announce that we've been honored by Cyber Defense Magazine with 2018 InfoSec Awards in two categories for our innovation and impact in the never-ending effort to stop breaches and stay ahead of threats.
With GDPR a little over a month away, it is no wonder RSA has chosen "Now Matters" for this year's theme. Whether it is GDPR or the speed and impact of recent cyberthreats, now, more than ever, companies are focused on finding solutions to protect their employees and corporate data from cybercriminals.
Let's clear this up once and for all; Citrix ShareFile adds value to Microsoft solutions and help you better adopt services like Office 365 in your enterprise.

Knoxville Regional Foodshed Assessment (March 2014)
As part of the Plan East Tennessee regional planning partnership, a regional foodshed assessment was conducted for an 11 county region surrounding Knoxville. The goal of this assessment is to:
a) Evaluate current food production in the Knoxville region, and identify strong points and missing components.
b) Measure the economic impacts of increasing local food production.
c) Recommend next-steps in building our local food system.Learn about the benefits of increasing regional agricultural production for local consumption and our capacity to meet residents' rising demand for food grown here, in East Tennessee.
Food Distribution and Consumption in Knoxville: Exploring Food-Related Local Planning Issues (1977)
In the summer of 1977, a planning professor at the University of Tennessee, Robert L. Wilson, and nine graduate students began to look at Knoxville's urban food system. Their document "Food Distribution and Consumption in Knoxville: Exploring Food-Related Local Planning Issues" identified areas of Knoxville where food access was limited. Their work help spur the creation of the first Food Policy Council in the world in Knoxville in 1982 and helped encourage the City to look at efforts to promote grocery retailers into areas where access was limited. Thanks to the University of Tennessee Libraries Digital Collections for creating the high resolution digital .pdf for the Food Policy Council.
Continuing the tradition of collaboration between the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and the Knoxville-Knox County Food Policy Council, several reports have been produced by faculty and students related to Knoxville's food system. The Food Policy Council has also continued to study issues in our communities, holding community meetings and producing reports that recommend action items to address the challenges in our food system. Below are some of the more recent reports that have been produced.
Knoxville-Knox County Food Policy Council Spring 2013: Community Research Findings and Recommendations
This report is the result of community meetings held in the Spring of 2013 on "Food Access" and "Farm to Fork." This document contains recommendations for local government and others in the community to take for the betterment of our local food system. Produced by the Knoxville-Knox County Food Policy Council.
The WIC & KAT Intersection: A Community Needs Assessment of Urban Public Transportation Routes to Grocery Stores in Knox County, Tennessee, 2012
In 2012, University of Tennessee graduate students in the Department of Nutrition looked at the intersection of the the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and the Knoxville Area Transit (KAT), Knoxville's bus transit system. The purpose of the project was to "assess the adequacy, accessibility and convenience of public transportation used by WIC participants when purchasing food purchasing foods delineated on selected WIC vouchers." A video documenting some of the students experiences is available on Youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbtq41pOEno
Knoxville-Knox County Community Garden Toolkit (2011)
This toolkit is for anyone in the Knoxville or Knox County area interested in beginning a sustainable community garden in their neighborhood. It will walk you through gathering a group of interested people, overcoming barriers such as acquiring land and getting access to water, addressing some legal issues such as gardening contracts and by-laws, gardening development, and identifying potential costs and grant agencies.
Food Matters: An Overview of the Local Food System Economy in Knox County (2011)
In 2011, the Knoxville-Knox County Food Policy Council produced this 6-page bulletin on the positive impact that locally and regionally sourced food can have on our economy. This document was presented to City Council and County Commission.

Police were called over a practical joke involving a fake severed hand.
Paul Plummer, an amateur make-up artist, left the prop on the pavement outside his house so his nieces could laugh at the reactions of people passing by.
One concerned resident contacted the police as they thought the fake hand with a severed finger was real.
Plummer then had to explain the situation to police as they began to cordon off the street in Nottingham.
The 34-year-old told the Nottingham Post: "My sister's children were round and I made it look as though my finger had come off to make them laugh.
"The kids are used to it, so we left it in the street so they could see people walking past wondering what it was."
A spokeswoman for Nottinghamshire police said: "Instead of pointing the finger, we advised Mr Plummer about his actions."

A candy wrapper dropped while walking… an empty water bottle discarded while biking… a soda can thrown from a car window while driving…Litter… it is one of my huge pet peeves!!! It makes me so sad… and angry. I took these photos along the country road leading to my house today. When did our roadways and waterways become the city dump?!?!? When I was growing up, we were taught not to litter. Even the smallest piece of cellophane that unwrapped a new pack of gum went into the ash tray or trash bag in the car, to be taken home and disposed of properly. Today's kids (and some adults!) will toss just about anything… anywhere! Littering is so disrespectful of other people's property and of our planet earth! Argh!!!!! Sorry, I'll get off my soap box now… and go pick up some litter… and try to leave the world a better place.
