Filmmaker Chloé Robichaud, whose first feature film, Sarah prefers to run, received international acclaim following its official premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, presents the pilot episode of her webserie project titled Féminin/Féminin
Féminin/Féminin revolves around events within the everyday life of a group of characters whose paths come to intertwine. Offering a contemporary look into the lesbian community in Montreal, Quebec, the original idea was created by Chloé Robichaud and Florence Gagnon, president and founder of the organisation LSTW, the lesbian connection.
The webserie stars actresses Eve Duranceau, Noémie Yelle, Eliane Gagnon, Kimberly Laferriere and Carla Turcotte. Special guest stars will also be making notable surprise appearances throughout the season, starting with well-known Quebec actresses Hélène Florent (Café de Flore (2011) and Sarah prefers to run (2013)), and Suzanne Clément (I Killed My Mother (2009) and Laurence Anyways (2012)).
« When Florence Gagnon of LSTW approached me with the idea, I immediately recognised the audacity and relevance of this particular project, recalls Chloé Robichaud, who will be filming the seven upcoming episodes until the end of spring. This self-funded pilot episode was created with the idea of presenting the lesbian community in a positive, realistic and whimsical way. »
« Many socially-engaged lesbian women grow in their respective fields and are eager to make a difference. They want more role-models and less stereotypes. With Chloé, the goal was to transpose this to the screen and we were thrilled to have the community offering us such significant support. The webserie has been well-awaited for by the lesbian community, adds Florence Gagnon of LSTW, the lesbian connection. »
The first episode of Féminin/Féminin centres on a group of friends. We follow Lea's character, played by Noémie Yelle, as she embarks on a clumsy quest for love.
This episode of Féminin/Féminin is now available for viewing on the LSTW, the lesbian connection, site (www.lezspreadtheword.com). New episodes are expected to be released in June 2014.

The larger majority of Irish people living in the U.K. are less likely to identify themselves as British, according to 2011 census data.
Gypsies, Caribbeans and Pakistanis are more than twice as likely to identify as British than the Irish, according to new data from the census bureau, published on Thursday.
Fewer than 40 percent of Irish people living in the UK identify themselves as British, compared to more than 80 percent of many other ethnic groups.
More than 91 percent of Irish people born outside of the UK do not hold a UK passport, compared to 45 percent of Indians born outside of the UK and 31 percent of Pakistanis born outside of the UK.
Chris Smith, of the Office of National Statistics, said Irish immigrants tend to maintain a sense of national identity throughout their time in Britain.
He said: "Irish migration goes back to the 1840s, it was 9 percent, 10 percent of the population of some parts of England in the 1880s, 1890s: very, very high proportion.
"But they seem to maintain their sense of national identity despite the length of time here."
The census breakdown shows that 1.54 million moved to the UK in the decade to 2011, compared to 880,000 between 1961 and 2000.
At least 7.5million immigrants now live in Britain, making up 13 per cent of the total population, according to the data.

Reforming Employment and Training Policies: More Progress Must Be Made in Establishing Successful Job Programs for Disadvantaged Adults and Out-of-School Youth in a Shrinking Market
Osterman, Paul, USA TODAY
Americans have become increasingly dissatisfied with how new entrants to the tabor force are prepared and those in difficulty are helped to upgrade their skills. Underlying the growing unease are major changes in the technological and economic demands put on the labor force, as well as worsening earnings inequality and persistent racial disparities.
The transfer of public job training programs to the states presents both risk and opportunity. The risk is that they will use funds to attract employers from neighboring states rather than truly upgrade the workforce. The opportunity is a chance to rethink and improve a system seen as less than successful.
An impressive array of research testifies to the importance of education and vocational skills. An extra year of schooling adds about 10% annually to average earnings. Vocational training yields commensurate private returns and benefits to society in reduced social problems and increased productivity.
Market failures and social goals provide a powerful rationale for public intervention in the employment and training area. Private firms are reluctant to provide sufficient training in general skills -- although these are important in their own companies -- because employees easily can leave and use them elsewhere. This failure is exacerbated by a general bias in the U.S. against supplying adequate training for low-skilled workers. The bulk of employer-provided training is directed to relatively high-level managerial and technical employees. In addition, the high turnover rates and labor pirating endemic among small firms make them reluctant to finance even directly job-related skills.
Public intervention further is justified by the high costs of social problems (particularly crime and welfare dependence) that are correlated strongly with low skills. Equity weighs heavily in completing the argument -- in both income (helping those at the bottom of the labor queue) and fairness (assisting dislocated workers who made a good-faith investment in skills that no longer are in demand).
In many respects, America's public skills delivery system is the finest in the world. Universities attract large numbers of foreign students, clear evidence of comparative quality. A strong and growing community college system provides vocational skills. In the private sector, employers over all have increased their expenditures on training.
Why, then, should there be concern over improving the employment and training system? The answer lies in the currently troubling outcomes in the American labor market that, at least in principle, are remediable by an effective employment and training system:
* Increasingly unequal wages. The bottom has fallen out of the labor market for workers with a high school education or less. The reasons are not understood well, but virtually all observers agree that augmenting the skills of persons on the lowest rung of the ladder is an important part of any solution.
* Difficulties some youth have in settling down. Most young people successfully navigate the school-to-work transition and obtain "adult" jobs by their late 20s. However, 20-30% experience serious problems in settling into adult jobs.
* Racial disparities remain sharp in the labor market. In 1994, for instance, 63% of whites between 16 and 64 were employed, compared to 56% of blacks and 59% of Hispanics. Respective employment figures for teenagers were 47%, 24%, and 33%. Considerably larger proportions of African-Americans and Hispanics work at poverty-level wages than do whites.
* Adult displacement. The American labor market has become increasingly turbulent. Permanently displaced workers face an average earnings loss of some 20%.
Evaluative studies provide guidance on what works and what doesn't within the context of current employment and training policies:
Youth employment and training programs aim to keep teenagers in school longer, improve their transition from school to work, and assist dropouts having difficulty finding jobs. …

Established in July 1995, Askari Aviation services continues to be a leader in the industry with an enduring commitment to quality, safety and respect of our people and our services.
Askari Airport Services (AAPS) is established as a project of Army Welfare Trust (AWT) under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. AAPS is mandated to carry on business of Ground Handling Services. It commenced its operations in January, 2007 offering quality services with a better cost effective structure. at Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad. AAPS is also a member of IATA Ground Handling Council (IGHC).

AWT is a business group with the subsidiaries such as Askari Bank, Askari Insurance, Askari Cement, Askari Aviation, Askari Airport Services, Askari Guards, Askari Pharmaceuticals, Askari Sugar Mills, Askari CNG, Mobil Askari, and Askari Farms & Seeds etc.
Ask Flying Academy (AFA) is a project of Askari Aviation (Private) Limited, which is a company of Army Welfare Trust. AFA is established at Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Islamabad since January 2007. AFA was granted Flying School License Class II by Civil Aviation Authority in January 2007. The primary focus of AFA has been to conduct flying related courses for which the Civil Aviation Authority has already approved following operational and training manuals.
Pakistan is blessed by nature with a large number of mountains and peaks, which range amongst the highest in the world. Many expeditions are, therefore, attracted by the lure of challenge of scaling these summits. These mountaineers risk their lives because they have confidence in Pakistan's ability to provide them with the support required, for their expedition.
Most of the services are coordinated and provided by respective tour operators, while Aero-medical Evacuation facilities are extended by Pakistan Army Aviation. To ensure desired response and safe casualty evacuation, it is important that everyone involved must clearly understand his responsibilities and act accordingly, maintaining complete calm, to save lives in emergency. This requires briefing of expedition members, issue of necessary instructions and equipment, placing of resources, passing of expeditious and sufficient information for planning, and finally smooth execution of rescue to save precious lives.
To coordinate rescue facilities in Northern Areas ensuring minimum response time with optimum effectiveness the responsibilities of coordination have been assigned to Askari Aviation (Pvt) Limited (AAL). Askari Aviation a subsidiary of Army Welfare Trust, is established to provide quality services in the field of aviation to private and public sector. It is manned and operated by retired Aviators from Pakistan Army Aviation, who have served all along their career operating in Northern Areas of Pakistan and providing evacuation services to mountaineers. As a disciplined organization, they perfectly understand essence of responsibility and importance of time. Their personal experience, therefore, will be of immense value to coordinate between mountaineering expeditions and Army Aviation, to achieve the objective with desired results.
Rescue Operation
To provide Rescue Services Askari Aviation is backed by fleet of Pakistan Army aircraft. Helicopters required for rescue are pre--positioned by Army Aviation in general area of mountaineering expedition area of activity, to achieve desired response time. The essential elements for reliable rescue operations, therefore, are:-
• Knowledge and information of all the mountaineering expedition visiting Pakistan.
• Areas of activities of respective expeditions, with planned activities.
• Strength of respective teams, experience, physical conditions and equipment they are carrying.
• Briefing of expeditions on rescue facilities available in the area. Demand procedures and preparations to be made to receive the Helicopter.
• Availability of necessary equipment i.e. Markers, windsock, smoke grenades, communication set etc, and information for execution of rescue operation.
• Completion of all legal and security requirements to avoid delay and complication on occurrence, i.e. deposit of security, signing of indemnity bond etc by respective teams.
• Essential information to be communicated on occurrence, for speedy response and safe evacuation.
• Preparation to be made by respective team on occurrence to receive helicopter, ensuring desired safety and safe evacuation.
• Preparation of bills/claims and clearance of dues within 7 days as per GHQ instructions.
• Recovery of rescue helicopter handling kits and refund of security deposit to respective expeditions not utilizing rescue services during their stay in Pakistan.
Go to Top
Considering the resources available and area of activity to be covered, rescue service must be centrally placed to ensure timely intimation and minimum response time. Pakistan Army Aviation resources are, therefore, located accordingly covering the complete area of mountaineering team activities. This can be further backed by Askari Aviation's integral resources or additional Army Aviation assets if any visiting expedition so desires, to cover their activity during critical phases. Weather permitting and meeting safety condition, AAL will even be willing to consider placing of limited rescue services at site for day hours, if economically acceptable to the expedition.
Existing aviation rescue resources are placed and ba follows:- LOCATION AIRCRAFTS SKARDU ALT-III, LAMA, MI-17 GILGIT MI-17, PUMA RAWALPINDI LAMA, ALTIII, MI-17, PUMA Respectively.
All teams visiting Pakistan as per existing Government policy will be required to deposit US$ 6,000 or provide guarantee of respective embassies to Askari Aviation to clear dues within 7 days. Respective tour operators, however, may provide guarantee for clearance of bill above security deposit, to avoid last minute delays. No payment to any : except Askari Aviation be made for provision of aviation rescue services in Pakistan.
Askari Aviation will give detailed briefing to all the teams on arrival on rescue services and issue a kit, holding minimum essential equipment for guidance and reception of helicopter in emergency. Will also collect essential information on respective expedition i.e. strength, area of activity, peak days of activity, tour operator, equipment available like wireless set, smoke grenade etc. and ensure signing of indemnity bond by expedition members to provide rescue services in emergency.
Intimation on all the teams covered for rescue services, with their area of operation and peak days of activity, will be intimated to rescue centers in Gilgit & Skardu by Askari Aviation.
On occurrence of any emergency respective team must Intimate through quickest available means, to any of the following persons, with as much detail as possible, to coordinate response for desired assistance to save life in emergency.
Deputy Commissioner Skardu
Deputy Commissioner Gilgit
Deputy Commissioner Chitral
Headquarter FCNA Gilgit
Army Aviation (KK) Squadron, Skardu
Expedition meeting emergency above safe operational landing height of rescue helicopter i.e. 5,500 M, must make an effort to recover casualty to safe heights and intimate location accordingly.
On receipt of information at rescue headquarter the mission will be flown subject to weather and safety requirements, provided the expedition has deposited the security charges or provided the guarantee from respective embassy, and has signed the indemnity bond specimen attached at the end.
On completion of rescue, bill for flying charges and additional services during their stay in Pakistan will be recovered by AAL within 7 days and cleared in 15 days at the latest.
Expeditions not utilizing rescue services during their stay in Pakistan will collect refund from AAL, on return and before leaving the country.
All expeditions will be responsible to return the rescue kits provided to them before leaving Pakistan.
It must be kept in mind that all rescue operations above the height of 4000m, are conducted in pairs i.e., Lama, Alt-III helicopter, due to safety reason and lack of communication in the area.
All charges will be according to rates given at the end, and jacking up or re-quoting of charges is not permitted by any intermediaries.
Rescue services are being provided to visiting expenditure on subsidized rates as a goodwill measure.
Rescue Request Demand. All expeditions are requested to make an effort to provide maximum details possible under the condition, to assist rescue teams for safe and successful execution of their mission.
Rescue Execution. On receipt of rescue demand at Skardu the mission on clearance will be undertaken subject conditions:- .
• Receipt of rescue request demand will be considered final authority from the client, and, thereafter all flying generated for the purpose will be payable by the expedition.
• Subject to weather and meeting safety requirements. All rescue operations will be planned between first light & half an hour before sunset landing at base i.e. Skardu/Gilgit.
• All possible efforts must be made by respective expedition to prepare helicopter landing sites wherever possible as per specification provided, and assist in terminal guidance on arrival of helicopter, details of hand signals and ground-air emergency code are given in the ground codessection.
• To make it easier for the pilot to locate you it is important that emergency signals are used when in distress. Use these signals whenever you sight or hear a helicopter. Try to attract the helicopter. On spotting you the helicopter will come overhead and will land if possible. If it is unable to land use ground signals to convey your message. Remember that the procedure already described in this booklet must also be used independent of any such efforts. Body Signals, Ground air emergency codes are given in the ground section.
• Till the arrival of helicopter, respective expeditions are expected to provide essential first aid to the casualty, undertake essential preparation for evacuation of casualty by air. It must be kept in mind in Lama/Alt-III, no medical assistance is possible during transportation due to height limitation.
• Expeditions are expected to provide accurate location of helipad and bring casualty to or below the safe height, i.e., 5,500m ensuring clear space for helicopter to approach the helipad with no loose material around the helipad like tent etc.
• On arrival of helicopter, minimum time must be taken by the expedition in loading/boarding of the casualty, due to fuel and height restriction in the area. It will not be possible to switch off the helicopter because of restarting problems and safety limitations.
• In case of casualties more than the lifting capability of respective helicopter, crew must be informed for return of helicopter and preparation made accordingly by expedition.
• No heating and inflammable material is allowed to be placed with the casualty or permitted to be transported on the helicopter.
• Often it may not be possible to place casualty in stretcher at those heights, so the casualty may be placed on floor till descend to safe heights.
• Primarily all rescue operation is planned till Skardu/Gilgit, however, if desired by the expedition, the services may be extended till Islamabad subject to the availability of helicopter.
Rescue Helicopter Handling Kit Standard.

• Should be prominently marked by lime or orange colored letter 'H'.
• Should display a prominent windsock of orange color located well clear of the helipad and to one-side of the final approach. ..
Use of Signaling Mirror
Tips for Survival in Snow
1. Keep snow and frost off your clothes, tents, boots, sleeping bags etc. Keep your clothing as dry as possible. Check for frost bite.
2. Tramp out signals in snow. Fill them with boughs, sod, moss, or fluorescent dye water.
3. Remember sound does not carry well through snow.
4. Avoid sleeping on bare ground or directly on the snow. Provide some sort of insulation under yourself.
5. Don't camp at the base of slopes or cliffs where snow may drift heavily or come down in avalanches.
6. Avoid sweating - it's dangerous because it leads to freezing. Wear clothes loosely.
7. Avoid fatigue. Get enough sleep. Stop worrying; learn to take it easy.
8. Remember that in snow the chief danger is freezing. Snow blindness andcarbon monoxide poisoning are secondary dangers.
9. Never touch cold metal with your bare skin, you will freeze to the metal and tear away the skin. ....

Gone are the days of the once-commonplace $300M acquisition post-Phase II. At least mostly gone. Now, more than ever, pharma are buying small biotechnology companies only after paying the biotechs to do more research – research that the pharma specify, and in some cases, control. And even then, the buy-out terms are pre-negotiated before the first dollar of research funding goes in. This is the age of the research-funded option-based acquisition.
Take Pfizer's late 2010 deal with LPath: $14M up-front, plus shared expenses on Phase I and II, followed by an option to acquire the lead program for just under $500M in total if further milestones are met.
Sure, there are still a few acquisitions here and there more representative of the days of old. Take Amira, for instance, acquired in 2011 by Bristol Myers Squibb for $325M up-front plus a potential earnout of $150M. I can even accept some of the arguments that big pharma may be more willing to buy with up-front dollars in 2012: patent cliffs loom even closer, the big pharma to big pharma merger dust is settling, R&D remains unproductive, and there is cash to be spent after having largely sat on the sidelines for the past couple of years.
But there are many reasons on both sides of the fence why option deals are becoming more popular. Most of these reasons are underappreciated, and some are even surprising.
First, and most obvious, option-based deals diminish risk for the acquirer. Why shell out $100M for a program that will fail in the next clinical trial? Plain old milestone-based acquisitions may offset some risk, but unlike funded research deals, they don't give the potential acquirer a flavor for the asset, or a flavor for the management team and style that brought the asset to where it is today. Both could be important. How many times have you had buyer's remorse after finding out something bad that decides to reveal itself a day or two after the purchase instead of during the weeks or months you spent in diligence? There's a reason for this. Once you start paying for research, you become part of the company in some way, and people tell you things you didn't know before.
In many cases, the tiny option fees and often-shared research funding can come directly from the R&D budget of the big pharma, without having to draw down on business development reserves typically employed in larger deals. This means that, in a sense, the money is already budgeted – it is already there if you will – and the deals can be done more quickly if senior management and boards of directors don't have to weigh in heavily during the deal process. Said another way, if only the big pharma R&D group buys in to the technology and agrees to share the R&D budget, that may be enough.
My suspicion is that it is easier for a big pharma to close on an acquisition via a research-funded buy-out option. Imagine approaching your senior management telling them that you've worked together with this company for a couple of years, that the relationship is good, that the data has panned out well, and that you've done all this with small dollars. Seems to me it would be harder to say no to this, whereas it would be easier to say no at the end of a fast-paced auction process that began two weeks ago.
In the heady days of healthcare venture capital, there were lots of venture capital funds willing to plunk down millions here and there in order to finance clinical trials. But the number of such funds is dwindling fast, and those that remain are plunking down money for other things, like diagnostics, medical devices, and healthcare services and IT. These days, the small biotech finds the big pharma research funding a more attainable source of capital than ever before, and in some cases much easier to close than VC money. Because the pharmaceutical industry depends in part on biotech successes, big pharma are likely to partially cover for sources of funding that are drying up, and the option-based research deal is one way to do it. (Check out the January 9, 2012 BioCentury article on page A11 regarding pharma stepping in to fund biotech IPOs for a similar take.)
The clincher is that, from a biotech investor standpoint, the risk-adjusted investment multiple of a research-funded option-based acquisition is actually higher than the risk-adjusted investment multiple from taking companies through Phase II and hoping for an all-upfront acquisition. Here's an example. Let's suppose you are a VC and you have invested $10M in a company at a valuation of $10M. In the go-it-alone scenario, suppose that you get Phase I data and you then decide to invest (at a flat round) another $25M to get Phase II data. Assume there is a 20% chance the Phase II will work (more or less the average these days) and that if it works, the company will be bought for $300M upfront. Here, the VC would own about 78% of the company, reaping a risk-adjusted $47M at a 1.3x. But assume instead that after Phase I, a large pharmaceutical company offers to pay for Phase II (the research-funding phase), and in the 20% chance that it is successful (possibly higher since you have the expertise of the big pharma), there is an agreement to purchase the company for $300M (the option). In this case, you would own only 50% of the company, and you would receive a risk-adjusted $30M, but your multiple more than doubles to 3x. In the end, VCs are in the multiples business, and the research-funded option-based acquisition should be more appealing than ponying up to shoulder risk alone, even if the meager to non-existent up-front won't get you the Bentley SUV that you've been eyeing.
My own view is that risk sharing will continue to grow in popularity. Sure, there are lots of reasons not to do these deals. For example, what if you get good data but the option isn't exercised? (My response: if you really have good data, you will sell the company to some other big pharma notwithstanding the odd decision of your former partner.) But all in all, these relationships are good for both parties, and I think the growth of such structures will go a long way to restoring the once-vibrant ecosystem of biotech-partnered-with-pharma successes that we all long to see return.

Before I get to the heart of the matter, let me say a quick word about Chicago & the BOOBs... it was AMAZING!!! I'm not gonna write a book about it at this point (seems kind of redundant after reading what everyone else wrote). But I did have a wonderful time meeting everyone and seeing a new city. Draz summed it up well with "life-changing," I know I will never be the same.
Fellow BOOBs that I have added on Facebook, please remember no one there knows about this blog (except all of you lol). And BOOBs I haven't added, feel free to add me... I've been trying to find everyone. :)
Do you ever feel like you need someone to smack you up side the head and point out all of the things that should be obvious, but aren't? Okay more like things that are obvious, but you don't want to see them.
That has been me for a few weeks now... needing someone to give me a reality check. And guess what... I gave myself one! Its no secret to anyone that I've been majorly down in the dumps. Putting on a (semi)happy face for Chicago was a bigger challenge than you can imagine. Coming home, I knew it was time to really figure out what is going on with me... what is making me so sad all the time... because how can I ever expect anything to change if I don't know the cause?
For the last week, I have chosen to go with the flow and quietly observe the people in my life... I mean who they REALLY are... what their ACTIONS say vs. the WORDS that come from their mouths. The vast difference in those two things and how they affect my moods has been really eye-opening.
This is the thing about me... I am the type of person that fully commits to relationships (of all types)... if I am in your life its 100%, NOT just when its convenient for me. When I make plans with you or agree to do something for you, nothing short of being near death with prevent me from doing it. Big or small - it doesn't matter - I'm gonna keep my word regardless of how inconvenient it may be to me personally. And I'm going to do it with a cheerful heart because that's how I am. I am also the type of person that pays attention to the wants and needs of others... if I'm out somewhere and see something I know someone needs/wants I will happily get it for them if I can... just because I care. Not always - but often - you will find my shopping cart filled with things for a variety of different people in my life. Again... its just how I am.
Sadly, I think I'm growing selfish. I feel like I want my turn - for someone to value me and my presence in their life the way I value them in mine. For someone to go that extra mile for me, even when its not convenient. Not all the time... just once in a while... so I know I matter to someone beyond what I have to offer them. And the thing is, I've realized most of the people in my life talk a really good game, but have very poor follow through (assuming the intent was ever truly there to begin with). It makes me sad to think how one sided things have become with certain people. I feel like I need equality... which it seems means to stop "doing" so much for other people... which feels selfish and totally NOT me. Or, alternatively, separating myself from people that primarily TAKE, TAKE, TAKE. I don't know what the solution is... but at least I have identified this as a major source of my sadness and my feelings of being unworthy lately. That's a start...
Honestly, I think that is probably one of the biggest issue for me right now... so much seems to stem from it. Here I am so busy doing for other people that I have completely slacked off on my house, home projects, hobbies, and most sadly... taking care of myself and my health. Everything related to me and my personal well-being seems to have taken a backseat to caring for and doing for others. Even if its selfish and changes who I am in some way that has to STOP! I can't be so wrapped up in other people that I lose myself and what matters to me... especially when those other people are the way they are.
Maybe the solution is this... to plan my life & my time to take care of me (and The Boy One of course) and only allow other people to fill the space I have left over. I suppose there is a happy medium somewhere, but right now I feel so burned out on "being there" and getting little to nothing in return I don't even want to think about a compromise. That's so not me, it sounds foreign to even think it aloud, much less type it. Is that terribly selfish of me? Does that make me a bad person?
Happy news... I drug my tush to the gym this afternoon and lived to tell about it. Seriously sad how long it had been since my last gym visit! I hopped right on the StairMaster and did 50 floors... I felt like I could have kept going, but didn't want to overdo it on my first day back. Wrapped things up with 30 minutes on a wuss bike. My body is definitely telling me that I've spent way too long out of the gym... though not as bad as I thought it might be.
More happy news from the gym... they finally have the plaque up for the Around the World Challenge! It lists the names of the people that completed the entire challenge this year... five names I believe... including mine, followed by that of my BFF! :)
And now I've just remembered the trash cans are still at the curb... I'd better drag them in before the housing Nazis attack, lol.

Gaining Perspective
Before I get to the heart of the matter, let me say a quick word about Chicago & the BOOBs... it was AMAZING!!! I'm not gonna write a book about it at this point (seems kind of redundant after reading what everyone else wrote). But I did have a wonderful time meeting everyone and seeing a new city. Draz summed it up well with "life-changing," I know I will never be the same.

Julie, it's most definitely not selfish and it doesn't make you a bad person to want to put yourself first for once. As they say, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of anyone else (or something like that).

You totally deserve to be selfish, and I think you are really on the right track. Hope you are feeling better, it was great to see you in Chicago!

Take time for you, and don't ever feel guilty about it. People who really love and care about you will understand and even encourage you to recharge your batteries; they will want you to be happy too.

Take time & attention for yourself. I once did a St John's Ambulance First Aid Course because I wanted to be able to help people in need if I could. One of the first things tehy tell any potential aider is to make sure you are safe and your environment is safe BEFORE you dive into helping the injured or sick person. I think that can be applied to pretty much all situations and all relationships we have. There is no point in helping if in the process we ourselves get sick, depressed or injured. It isn't selfish to put yourself first. It is treating yourself with respect and enabling yourself to be the great person you are. :) Anyone who does love and care about you will understand.

I sounded just like that in ye olde days. I realized I was rowing every boat out there while people were along for the ride.
When you stop rowing you will hear complaints.
Then, the people worthy of being your friends will take a turn at the oars. The other ones you push out of the boat.

everyone has gone insane - suspended for pointing a pizza?
The term zero tolerance was first employed by President RONALD REAGAN's administration when it launched its War on Drugs initiative in the early 1980s. Some school districts embraced the initiative in an attempt to eradicate drug possession and drug use on school property. The policy became law, however, when Congress passed the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act of 1989 (Pub.L. 101-226, December 12, 1989, 103 Stat. 1928). The act banned the unlawful use, possession, or distribution of drugs and alcohol by students and employees on school grounds and college campuses. It required educational agencies and institutions of higher learning to establish disciplinary sanctions for violations or risk losing federal aid. As a result, the majority of schools and colleges immediately began to adopt zero tolerance polices to safeguard their federal funding.
People want to complain about zero tolerance in schools? Then they would be in the company of Bill Ayers, that Commie Marxist.
A Philadelphia elementary school student was scolded and searched by administrators in front of her entire class after she pulled out a paper gun in class last week...

They should stop making them but when "toy guns" we're popular kids got proper education regarding them for the most part. Now you have kids confused over guns and being punished for playing with toys their parents bought them. This will scare kids and will keep them from getting proper education regarding them.

Right now, we seem to be only looking at suspensions. I was watching Fox News last night and something very dark caught my attention. As they were talking about gun control, they suddenly switched and started talking about "mental illness". The focal point of this conversation arrived when one of them appeared to suggest that teachers or doctors or school staff or someone should be reporting "strange" (paraphrasing) kids to the authorities.
During the same conversation, it took another interesting twist when one of them suggested we need to find some way to make sure all the weirdos (again, paraphrasing) are taking their "medication".
Now if you're a "weirdo" like me, you might be thinking they could do anything they wanted all the way up to and including chemical lobotomies with this forced "medication".
The pieces are falling into place. At least one form of thoughtcrime is being defined. Will it stop with young children or will they be working on adults too? I've always thought they tend to mostly leave adults alone when they start on a new stage and a new generation because they figure it's too late to change people who are not very young and malleable.
But with Obamacare, one never knows where they might be able to go.edit on 20-1-2013 by BrianFlanders because: (no reason given)

Utter craziness.
Anyone seeing my son do that would probably assume my son was exposed to all kind of violent entertainment or guns. They would never understand that he is just emulating his G1 Transformers videos..something we 80's kids grew up with and reenacted time after time. Just like when my brother and I would play GI Joe (I always ended up being Cobra Commander because his friends needed a "bad guy" and I was the only girl..)
We used to bring waterguns to school to play at recess. We used to make rubber band guns and shoot them at each other. Please, anyone show me any boy child (at least) and a lot of girls, that did not pretend to have a gun at some point. This did not make us all mass murderers!
We are indoctrinated from an early age to worship our "Heroes"...cops, soldiers, etc. Then when children emulate them, they are being punished?
I guess now they are at the stage of swiftly and severely making an example out of any child who dares Thoughtcrime.

Re: Michael Mukasey And Jewish Conservatism.
December 14, 2007
Re: Michael Mukasey And Jewish Conservatism.
Dear Colleagues:
I shall write relatively briefly today on a matter which touches a subject I've long, but perhaps wrongly, considered sensitive. The sensitive subject is the turn of American Jews toward conservatism. The matter relating to this is Michael Mukasey on waterboarding.
The overall subject has in recent years been sensitive, I've thought, because so many of the neocons who brought us the Iraq war were Jewish. The men at the very top weren't: bush II, Cheney, Rumsfeld. But several people just below, or with influence, were: Wolfowitz, Feith, Abrams, Perle, William Kristol. To bring up the American Jewish turn toward conservatism in such circumstances seemed to me likely to simply fan the ever present, if often banked, fires of anti-Semitism, fires which have certainly not been diminished by the leftish view that Israel is responsible for our problems. Yet recently, when my views toward Mukasey began boiling over to the point that I have felt a need to do a radio show on the question of Jewish conservatism, and have begun reading materials on the subject in preparation, I found that there is a perhaps surprising amount of writing on the subject. So maybe it is not as sensitive as I thought. Or, if it is, people have decided to write about it regardless.
At present, I have not yet read widely enough to feel reasonably educated in the premises. My views largely still stem from growing up in the home of Russian Jewish immigrants who had a strong belief in social justice and great sympathy for labor (even though a union was more than a little responsible for the destruction of my old man's small business). My folks, before I was born, had themselves been part of the laboring class for a reasonable period, my mother a milliner and my father a laundryman. I grew up with certain values, obtained from them, from their friends, who had similar or identical backgrounds, from reading, and from the fact that people of their stripe invariably voted for the Democrats -- for FDR and Truman -- and favored what the New Deal was trying to accomplish.
It always seemed to me, quite wrongly and very naively I'm now sure, that several of the inculcated values were necessarily ones which stemmed from a Russian Jewish, semi socialistic background. But in later years I came to believe that several of the values I hold dear are, to a very major extent, signposts as well of the Protestant rural America of the 1800s and well into the mid 20th century, of the working class of all racial and ethnic groups, of Scandinavian American Midwest culture, of much Asian American culture, and others. I am speaking here of values such as hard work, modesty, honesty and a sense of fairness to others. The only group, as it were, that one might think gravely lacking in such attributes is, sad to say, the group which controls America today: the white collar class in business, the professions and government.
I am, of course, not praising or indicting every member of any of the aforementioned groups or others, but am speaking in broad generalities that I think cannot be readily dismissed as obviously incorrect.
Which brings me to Michael Mukasey. Mukasey is Jewish -- he even went to an Orthodox Jewish (if possibly modern) prep school. He belongs to a people that often has been viciously persecuted for 1,500 or 2,000 years. They have been slaughtered, tortured and dispossessed, time and time again. Long before Hitler there was the Spanish Inquisition -- which used waterboarding (and may even have invented it). Coming from this background, and growing up in a period (the 1940s and 1950s) when the human (and humane) attitudes of the general Jewish community favored social justice (as indicated by overwhelming support for FDR and Truman), Michael Mukasey nevertheless does not know if waterboarding is torture? The son of a bitch cannot bring himself to say that a technique used in a Spanish war against his own people, a technique considered torture for 500 years, is torture? I imagine it must be my background, as described earlier, but I just cannot understand how someone who comes out of Mukasey's background can say what he has been saying. I can understand it when some crumb from the Wall Street Journal's editorial page tells me in emails that we are not doing torture, or when a lying bum like George Bush claims it. But a Jewish guy who even went to a Jewish religious school? -- he claims it is possible that waterboarding is not torture? This is just too much for my poor mind to grasp. I cannot grasp it even if one were to say Mukasey has acted out of ambition to become Attorney General. It seems to me like a desertion of the most basic human values that a Jewish guy from New York City, and from a religious prep school no less, must have been exposed to all the time.
And it brings up the broader question I adverted to earlier, the question I am in process of reading about. How is it, and why is it, that so many Jews have become so conservative? What are all the reasons? And this implicates another, conceivably even broader question. How is it and why is it that so many American of all creeds, faiths and types -- Americans, for God's sake -- have come to accept torture as just one of those things?
Maybe, though, I am to some extent focusing through the wrong end of the telescope. Maybe the focus should be on the fact that so many Americans of all faiths, creeds and types never accepted torture, and an increasing number of them seem to be rejecting torture as time moves on. Yet, if that is true, it only causes me to wonder the more about a guy like Mukasey and about the wing of conservative, even neocon, Jews whom he may represent.*

I have to say that the weather in Tasmania today makes it pretty easy to be content with your lot in life. The sun is streaming in the window as I type and the sky is as blue as those beautiful stone houses in Rajasthan.
I spent the morning mulling over the things that have kept me happy in my Tassievore challenge over the past few weeks and I have to confess it is mostly those seasonal changes that bring a bit of zing and inspiration back into your cooking. I should explain that I tend to be a bit slap dash in my cookery – I make something fairly basic from the ingredients in the fridge, pantry and fruit bowl using fragments of recipe and cooking knowledge that I have built up over the years. Needless to say it gets the job done but isn't often worthy of overly enthusiastic praise from the family.
Anyway my Tassievore saviours for the start of autumn have been, in no particular order: Pirates bay octopus tentacles, sweet corn, new season apples and Japanese ginger.
The Pirates bay octopus is a bit of a treat (ie not super cheap…but cheaper than most fish) but I love it because it is easy to cook and can jazz up a tomato pasta sauce or make a great meal in itself if accompanied with some sort of salad and perhaps some chunky baked potato wedges. To prepare it I just rinse off the legs and then put it in a heavy fry pan or griddle with a bit of olive oil at medium/high heat, slap a lid on and leave it for twenty minutes. Then I turn it off and let it rest for another ten minutes before chopping and adding to the dish/meal. The other fun thing about Octopus legs is that they go a bright pinky red colour when cooked, thus elevating your meal another notch or two above the mundane.
Sweet corn seems to be a hit with my little boy and I have to say that I have enjoyed munching and crunching on a cob or two as well. The other great thing about sweet corn is that it gets me thinking of Mexican things and I have discovered that you can do a pretty good sort of Mexican frijoles (bean sauce) using Tasmanian Aduki beans. I have a ginormous sack of aduki beans in my cupboard so anything that gets them cooked and eaten is a good thing.
New season apples are on the hit list because they are just so crunchy and tangy and gorgeously fresh. I am particularly excited by the resurgence in old heritage varieties like Cox's orange pippin – delicious! New season apples certainly help to ease us out of the declining berry season doldrums and it's far too soon for us to be sick of pome fruits while eating Tassievore style (that will likely come later in the year…). Keep an eye out for apples ripening in parks and public spaces too – such a shame to see fruit rotting on the ground when it could be chopped up and stewed or crunched on while whistling your way home.
My final pick for the Tassievore saviours list is the lesser spotted Japanese Ginger (Myoga). I grabbed some from the lovely couple at the Little Red Hen stall at Farm Gate market in Hobart and, while no match for the feisty punch of traditional ginger, it was great to have something completely new to try. The ginger looks more like a bulb than a rhizome and has only a delicate ginger flavour and a gentle punch of spicy heat. It works best finely shredded over salads or gently fried and sprinkled over stir-frys. Apparently it has a reputation in Japan for making you forgetful or stupid so perhaps i won't over indulge (I don't need any help with forgetfulness and stupidity most days!).
My other non-food cause to be happy today was discovering comfy pink bean bags and fun magnetic words in the new park in Mathers lane Hobart. It was lovely to see such a great use of public space and my little boy loved interacting with the metal sculpture by sticking on and taking off the magnetic letter and words. Let's hope that they are respected by all the park users and stick around (pun only retrospectively intended) for many months to come.
Have a great International Day of Happiness Tassievores!

And thus, it ends. Despite a never-ending stream of doom and gloom from Oracle/Microsoft-funded 'pundits' regarding Google and Android (six hundred billion trillion gazillion eurodollars in damages!!1!), judge Alsup has just squashed all of Oracle's chances with a ruling that is good news for those of us who truly care about this wonderful industry: APIs are not copyrightable. Alsup: "To accept Oracle's claim would be to allow anyone to copyright one version of code to carry out a system of commands and thereby bar all others from writing their own different versions to carry out all or part of the same commands. No holding has ever endorsed such a sweeping proposition." Supreme Court, Ellison?

With C++ template libraries, the API and source code are one and the same. If the API can't be copyrighted, then C++ template libs can't be copyrighted. (Which means that all GPL template libraries are now public domain, and can be used without honoring GPL rules.)
That's not how it works.

The Allwood Branch is set to reopen on Thursday, April 6th! There will be presentations at 9:30 a.m. followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reopening at 10:00 a.m. Staff will be on hand to guide you around the new floorplan. We will be 'open for business' at that time, resuming our regular hours immediately. We hope to see you there!
Wednesday, March 15, 2017
Putting it back together!
With the exception of working through punch list items, the bulk of construction on the branch is complete. Now we are in the process of loading in. New furniture and shelving has been arriving on a steady basis, and previously used furniture, shelving and equipment that had been in storage - along with hundreds of boxes of materials - have been returned. Furniture and shelving are being assembled and placed by skilled installers. The bulk of the materials re-shelving work will be done by the same movers that had originally packed it up; staff will complete the process shortly afterwards.
Below are pictures that show the evolution of certain spaces, as well as the "controlled chaos" of the loading in process:

text: Dreading the second injection today in memory of the pain on day 5. I have to go to a different hospital for this injection as the Infertility Unit is closed on weekends. I go to Wishaw General today, it's where I had my scans last year when I miscarried and it reminds me of that terrible experience. I drag my Husband along as a distraction. We had to wait for what seems like ages and he is restless. It wasn't so sore as last time, or maybe because I was expecting pain my head had exaggerated the previous experience? We then visited each of our parents in turn. My Mother in Law had old photographs out and I feel a lump in my throat as I see pictures of my Husband as a young boy because I think of my son looking just like him. All of my Husbands families offspring have been male and he assures me we will be no different. Our miscarried child was a boy. I also feel a lump in my throat as in the pictures where he is around 5 his Mum and Dad look older than most other parents and I see me getting to that age and still childless. It's tough having a life marked out for it not to happen as one would like. I remember a Counsellor I saw last year telling me that anxiety surrounding how long it will take to fall pregnant is a waste of time and energy because when I fall pregnant I will be so happy, and even moreso when I have the baby, that whatever year and date, or age I am, will be insignificant. I know she was right it's just a painful wait for it to happen. Every cycle is like a rollercoaster. I remember this from taking clomid before and feel it already, I imagine how I feel if I respond to this treatment, how I will feel if I don't. I imagine the dose of drugs being too low or too high and the frustration with how long the process takes. I already have optimistic moments and similarly pessimistic ones too. I know that before I can stop myself I have the birth date calculated at the beginning of each cycle as well as when and how I will tell my Husband and close family the good news. I want this so desperately and so urgently and wish there was some way to take control of the situation instead of sitting back waiting to find out if my body is performing as we desire.

The world could be headed toward a testosterone fueled apocalypse triggered by lop-sided sex ratios, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers, from China and the UK, say that cultures like China and India that favor male babies have bred an enormous surplus of men who will struggle to find sexual partners and will likely find themselves marginalized in society.

Steve's Socks were finished last night. Ends woven in and everything! I hope they fit him well...
Pattern: Basic toe-up sock (64 stitches, figure 8 toe, and a short-row heel)
Fiber: Regia Bamboo Color (in the creatively named color "1063")
Ravelry link: Steve's Blue Socks
Not much to say about this standard pattern of mine. It is the only thing (besides a scarf) that I can knit without needing notes or a pattern. The fabric is lovely, the bamboo giving just a bit of shine and smoothness. They drape well enough to wear as sort of "fancy socks" but the marled texture may be too rustic... Anyway, they should keep his feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
So far the Ravelympics have been good encouragement... but there is still that damn blanket out there! How many days do I have left?

The defender was being watched by his parent club manager Paul Lambert.
Sheffield United lost their first game since October last night as they went down 1-0 at home against Walsall.
A goal from Amadou Bakayoko proved to be the winner for Walsall and the Blades were left rueing a missed penalty from striker Billy Sharp in the 84th minute.
Interestingly, it was Walsall who last beat them, 2-1 in the EFL Trophy, and Blades fans were disappointed that their excellent unbeaten streak was now dust.
But they did take a positive from the game in the form of a poor performance from one of their key players.
Ethan Ebanks-Landell produced one of his poorest performances in a Sheffield United kit since joining the club on loan from Wolves in the summer.
General view of Bramall Lane stadium
This unlikely poor display came at the perfect time, as his parent club's new manager Paul Lambert was in the crowd to assess whether he is worth recalling in January.
Based on the evidence of this display Molineux will be happy to allow Ebanks-Landell to remain at Bramall Lane – much to the joy of Blades fans.
Here is how they reacted to his display on Twitter…
Tonight showed we need Wright, the run comes to an end as soon as he doesn't start, it's not all about Ebanks-Landell. #twitterblades— Bran The Blade⚔ (@SufcBran) November 29, 2016
At least Paul Lambert won't want Ebanks Landell back after tonight— Dill (@LewisLowe1) November 29, 2016
At least Paul Lambert won't want Ebanks-Landell back— Matt (@MattIsNotFat) November 29, 2016
On a positive note Ebanks-Landell had his worst game for Blades, lucky for us Paul Lambert was watching #WellPlayedEthan #twitterblades— Sam Flanagan (@mrjuanfran) November 29, 2016
However, with Paul Lambert watching at the Lane, Operation 'Keep Ebanks-Landell in Sheffield' worked a treat! #twitterblades— Matthew Howsham (@HeldtT) November 29, 2016
Plus point from last night: at least Wolves boss Paul Lambert will have left the Lane unimpressed by our Ethan. #sufc #twitterblades— ViewFromJohnStreet (@ViewFromJohnSt) November 30, 2016
On a positive, EEL had his worst game for us tonight in front of Lambert. #EveryCloud #sufc #twitterblades ⚪— Burts⚔ (@Burts_11) November 29, 2016
Can't see Lambert wanting EEL back after tonight.. Every cloud and that #Sufc— Adam (@adzblade8) November 29, 2016
On the brightside im not sure EEL will be hearing from Paul Lambert anytime soon... #sufc #twitterblades— Ed Lambert⚔ (@edward_lambert) November 29, 2016

Notice in the real picture..there are no 'horns' with his fingers pointing down. That video really is misleading to ones own agenda." -LeoVirgo
Did someone make your picture of Asclepius for you?
Maybe this thread should be moved to the HOAX forum?

The narrator is in a transitional period of his life, and begins to notice instances of synchronicity, which is the realization that coincidences may have deep meaning.
In the novel, the Maya civilization left ruins in Peru where the manuscript was found, whereupon the Incas took up residence in the abandoned Maya cities after the Maya had reached an "energy vibration level" which made them cross a barrier into a completely spiritual reality

No need to answer, you'll be ignored, I don't speak with biased people, this discussion is useless for both of us.

The photo in your video is not the same as the wiki photo at all. If you pulled it from the internet, you are using a photoshopped photo.
We are trying to point out to you that the real picture/statue....has no 'pointed fingers'. Actually the statue has NO FINGERS for they are completely missing/gone.
Its not your fault if someone edited the photo and then you used it.
Please show us a lnk for your photo with the horned finger gesture. We have given you a link to the real image of the statue with no fingers.edit on 25-1-2011 by LeoVirgo because: (no reason given)

our bedroom
Well, our bedroom is done and I love it! 3 of the walls are baby blue and 1 is chocolate brown. I have brown curtains w/ silver gromet tops over a silver rod. I still need 2 more panels but JCPenney.com is out of them right now. I got baby blue ribbon to use as tie backs. My lamp is a silver base and brown shade. It is so different being so bright, we now have a white ceiling which makes a huge difference. My mom did mostly all the painting, I helped her with the ceiling and the brown wall but she did the rest while I was at work. I don't have anything on the walls yet but I am picky so it may take me a while to find things I like.

Los Angeles: Irish actor Liam Cunningham, who essays Davos Seaworth in "Game of Thrones", says the show`s unpredicability is one of the biggest reasons why the HBO fantasy series has formed such a cult following.
Davos recently came to the limelight in the sixth season of the show for playing a significant catalyst that helps in the resurrection of popular character Jon Snow.
When he was asked about how the unpredictability helps strengthen the show, Cunningham said in a statement: "It`s done for the purposes of drama, for the purposes of whatever you think this is, it`s not".
"Remember the quote from a few seasons back -- I think it was from Tyrion. `If you think this is going to have a happy ending, you haven`t been paying attention`. And I think in a weird way it`s almost the credo of the show. There is unpredictability to it," he continued, while adding that in his opinion, "that`s one of the reasons audiences like it".
On being asked on how the actors react to the volatile content, he said: "It`s a great thing for an actor to be presented with something they didn`t see coming, to be presented with one thing that`s been in your head that you`re sure of and that you hang your hat on as an actor, as in belief".
"My belief in Stannis; Melisandre`s in the Lord of Light and all that, and it`s pulled away from under you. It`s a great thing for an audience to look at too because everything you`ve known is wrong," he added.
The current sixth season of the series is aired on Star World Premiere HD in India.

Using 'thinking hats' and dialectics
Thinking differently unlocks new ways of working: Using 'thinking hats' and dialectics
One-Eighty interventions require young people and families to try new approaches and look at alternative ways of viewing things. It seems only fair then that One-Eighty staff have been developing new ways of thinking too and now know just how it feels to face the challenge of changing thinking habits!
Edward De Bono developed an approach to team problem solving- the 6 Thinking hats.
The approach invites you to recognise your most preferred, regularly worn approach to problem solving and consider how the varied hats can be represented to develop critical thinking.
At One-eighty, each team member wore a hat (literally) and embodied that thinking style to consider an intervention for a young person. The outcome was interesting….
"We reached a different conclusion to previous discussions, it generated new ideas".
"It felt different trying another way of thinking, but helpful"
"I understand my team members thinking styles now and can encourage their input more"
Research around De Bono's thinking hats within a range of settings suggests that using them:
- Re-frames problems to explore the issue from different angles
- Reduces the role of emotions or personality preferences in making decisions
- Encourages critical, deeper discussion
- Generates creativity and innovative ideas
- Reduces conflicts
- Increases self-awareness
(For studies see: Karadag et al 2009, Kivunge 2015, De Bono 1992)
One-Eighty have been building Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills in to practice with young people and families and in doing so have also been challenged to practice dialectical thinking.
Within DBT dialectics means "two opposite ideas can be true at the same time, and when considered together can create a new truth and a new way of viewing the situation".
It is not therefore about who is 'right' and who is 'wrong' but rather the truth in both perspectives, allowing space to recognise each unique interpretation.
Taking a dialectical approach means:
- Looking at individual actions on their own merit and individual function not joined together to make labels.
- Looking at all sides of a situation and point of view.
- Truth as transactional and changing.
- Change as a constant
- One thing may be true in one situation, but not in another.
(Linehan Institute, Rathus & Miller)
Within DBT, dialectics is taught to familes to help them 'think and act dialectically' with a view to unsticking conflicts, increasing empathy and understanding of the others point of view.
(Rathus and Miller, 2014)
One-Eighty has been using dialectics with families and seen just this happen. There are amazing examples of parents and young people working together rather than arguing and starting to build hope for happier family life in future. However, to focus on teaching dialectics, is to miss the challenge for us. There is also learning for us as professionals. We can easily start to label behaviours and get stuck in our own interpretations of events. Instead we need to consider alternative interpretations and the unique voice of those we are working with. Then we can consider this to find a new way forward.
If you want to unstick conflicts and try seeing things from a new perspective, why don't you give dialectical thinking a go? Think you and your team are stuck in one way of thinking…. Need new solutions? Could be time to practice using some new hats!
If you want to explore new ways of thinking further and develop your practice….
Supervision and a wide variety of training is available through One-eighty's Training and Resource Service.

Employment maintenance: filing online: employers: online employer responsibilities
All employers are required by the Income Tax (PAYE) Regulations 2003 to carry out certain actions when an employee starts or leaves employment. These Regulations apply equally to employers who opt to file Employment Maintenance forms online as to employers who continue to use paper versions.
Online employers are still required to submit forms P45 Part 1, P45 Part 3, P46 and P46(Pen) forms at the appropriate time but these notifications will be received online instead of on paper. Employers in RTI submit this information as part of their Full Payment Submission (FPS).
Once the computer has been updated, any other actions to be taken on the individual's record are carried out in exactly the same way as for paper forms.
For more information on employer responsibilities for the following forms see
- 'Cease employment' - 'P45 part 1 overview' at PAYE62010
- 'Create employment' - 'Receipt of form P46' at PAYE61035
- 'Maintain employment' at PAYE64000 onwards
For online filing to work successfully for the employer and processing office it is essential that employers understand what their responsibilities are so that they can carry out their PAYE obligations correctly and at the right time. Offices must be proactive in creating and maintaining a good working relationship with these employers in particular, so that the benefits of online filing can be achieved.
IMS, Electronic Business Unit provide support and advice to offices and employers to ensure the successful operation of these online processes.
Enquiries from employers or payroll software companies who contact offices for details of the online schemes should be referred to
