"I ran the guesthouse like it was my own place for 15 years ... Now I'm unemployed and soon to be homeless," says Katrina Zwanota, the former manager of theLAB Lifestyle guesthouse outside Robertson, Western Cape.
Zwanota is one of 12 employees who have accused the company of unfair dismissal. They say they were dismissed so that the company could hire cheaper labour. Zwanota and her family have also been given notice to vacate their home, which is situated on the farm, by 1 July.
According to its website, theLAB Lifestyle has guesthouses in Robertson, Franschhoek and Hout Bay which offer a "a world first" experience by using "voice-controlled smart home solutions" around the property. The guesthouses offer "high-tech room automation", solar heating, and a "state of the art" cinema. Guests are invited to "have fun and ask theLAB by voice command to 'make a cup of coffee', 'turn on the TV', 'close the blinds', 'start a shower', 'set the alarm' and 'turn off the lights'". Prices range from R800 to R2,100 per night.
Zwanota, 52, has been working at what was then the Rosendal Wellness Retreat since 2004. She says her troubles began in September 2018, when Josh Balk, owner of theLAB, bought the property.
In a letter dated 2 October 2018, seen by GroundUp, the previous owner Gier Tellefsen told Zwanota that her contract had been transferred to Balk. The letter stated that her employment under the new owners would be "on the whole no less favourable to the terms and conditions of employment with Rosendal" and that the "recognition of service" would remain unchanged. "Your remuneration including the value of any perks will be equal to that which you currently receive", she was told.
But Zwanota says without consulting her Balk started deducting R2,000 from her salary for rent. She had previously paid R250 per month. She says she had used her own money to improve her house, which had no electricity or hot water. "Why would he increase the rent so much?"
Dereck Hirson of theLAB denied that her rent had been increased.
Zwanota says she was also taken to work at the guesthouse in Hout Bay, in spite of her reluctance. "I was there for two weeks. I complained because as the manager I worked from 7am until 11pm with no breaks," she says.
"I was told that if I go back to Robertson, there is no job for me," she says.
A few weeks after returning home, on 18 February, Zwanota says she was told not to return to work and that her family should vacate the house. She challenged her "unfair dismissal" at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) and won her case in March. She was awarded a R10,000 settlement but is yet to receive the money. "I was told I will only get the money, minus the rent, when I move out," she says.
Zwanota is now unemployed and struggling to find another job in the town.
Katrina Peterse worked for the company for six years. "I started doing laundry and worked my way up to be the evening chef," she says.
Peterse, who is eight months pregnant, says she was dismissed in May for "failing to report for duty". She spent two days in hospital in April and was put on two days bed rest to stop her from going into premature labour. When she returned to work the next week she was informed she no longer had a job and was only paid half of her salary at the end of the month. She challenged her "unfair dismissal" at the CCMA.
In its ruling on 20 June, the CCMA said the company had disputed Peterse's version, and referred her to the Labour Court.
Three other employees have also taken their case to the CCMA. Katrina Arendse, Jasmine Tromp and Colene Baardman were told in January that the company no longer had work for them. According to the CCMA document, the company told the commissioner that it was downsizing and had retrenched the employees.
But because the three women were not consulted or informed prior to this, the commissioner ruled in favour of the women in May, finding the company's actions to be "procedurally unfair." The company was ordered to pay Arendse and Tromp R16,000 each, and Baardman R8,000.
Malizo Kwinana of the Commercial, Stevedoring, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union (CSAAWU) has been assisting Zwanota and the other employees. He said the company's refusal to pay Zwanota's award in full is unlawful. "The unfair dismissal matter and the eviction are separate things. He needs to pay her money and then go to the courts for an order if he wants to evict her," he said.
Kwinana said that because Zwanota was living on the farm, the Extension of Security of Tenure Act of 1997 should apply. This means the company would have to apply to the court for an eviction order.
On Tuesday, Kwinana said they were preparing to take Peterse's case to the Labour Court.
In response to detailed questions from GroundUp, Hirson said, "We are going through formal processes with these former employees. We consider these both personal and confidential. We have gone through due processes and the employees have been engaged on it."
He said "work hours and duties have all been agreed on with mutual consent".
Asked whether any steps were in place to evict Zwanota and her family, Hirson said, "This matter has been discussed and agreed with Ms Zwanota as part of the process both parties were engaged in."
Hirson added that when they bought the guesthouse, it had to be renovated to build something new and different. "Unfortunately, we had to make some difficult decisions," he said.

Months of debate boil down to Election Day for $1 billion stadium
As Arlington voters streamed into the Tarrant County subcourthouse for early voting last week, the presidential showdown between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton wasn't the only contentious race on their mind.
Arlington residents are also deciding whether to approve public funding for a new retractable-roof baseball stadium for the Texas Rangers — a campaign that has generated its own heat. Supporters and opponents turning out at the polls to sway voters have accused each other of getting rowdy, even confrontational in some cases.
Observers say the stadium election could be close. City officials rushed to get the initiative on this week's ballot, figuring that the larger turnout for a presidential election would benefit a new stadium. But the strain of the national campaign has brought with it an anti-establishment sentiment, perhaps trimming that advantage.
"I did think it was going to be a blowout, but I don't think so anymore," said University of Texas at Arlington political science professor Allan Saxe, adding that the presidential campaigns have "made people more cognizant of government and politics."
Voters on both sides turned out last week.
Sarah Patterson said she voted against the new stadium because she doesn't think it's necessary.
"I don't see a point in spending money that doesn't need to be spent," she said, leaving the subcourthouse on Abram Street. Not a big Rangers fan? "Oh, I am. I just kind of like it how it is now."
But Juddie Rice echoed the concerns of city officials, who struck a deal with the Rangers in May to keep them in Arlington through the 2053 season — effectively a 30-year lease tacked onto the current lease of Globe Life Park in Arlington.
If the stadium proposition fails, she said, "I just think it opens it up for Dallas or Frisco to talk to them. I want to keep them."
The stadium deal
Voters are being asked to extend the city's half-cent sales tax, 2 percent hotel-occupancy tax and 5 percent car-rental tax to fund as much as half of the estimated $1 billion stadium cost, with the city's share capped at $500 million. The city now is using those revenues to pay down the remaining $155 million debt it owes for its share of AT&T Stadium's construction cost.
The vote also would allow for a maximum 10 percent admission tax and $3 parking tax for the Rangers' use, which opponents have criticized because the city legally could have used those taxes for its share. It approved the same deal for the Cowboys.
Vote Yes! Keep the Rangers, a political action committee that includes Mayor Jeff Williams as chairman and all City Council and school board members, has said the Rangers should get to use that revenue since they will take responsibility for maintenance and operation of the stadium.
Vote Yes! campaign manager Brian Mayes said Saturday he feels optimistic about the early voting.
"Our turnout, with the exception of the first couple of days, has been extremely positive," Mayes said. "But we're not taking anything for granted. We'll be making phone calls and knocking on doors right up until the end of voting on Tuesday."
Peggy Rudd and her husband, Bill Gaut, who distributed bright-red fliers denouncing the new stadium to thousands of Arlington homes, showed up at the courthouse with a bright-yellow addendum containing more criticism, including a shot at the roof: "The Rangers have played ball here 44 years. Suddenly now, it's too hot."
Rudd said she was seeing a connection between voters on the stadium and presidential race.
"We're finding that when they vote for Trump they vote against the stadium," Rudd said. "I guess they don't like seeing government joining forces with rich dudes."
Election timing
Cal Jillson, an SMU political science professor, said a national election is generally not the best place for a local proposition such as a new stadium.
"Normally, if you've got a local issue you want to hold it in a local election, with local candidates and issues that people can focus on," he said.
Jillson agrees with the opponents who say that there is little threat of the Rangers leaving if they don't win the vote, noting that the team is tied to a lease that doesn't expire until after the 2023 season. The Rangers have never publicly threatened to leave, although a team representative did hold preliminary talks with Dallas officials about a covered stadium.
Despite the political environment, Saxe predicts that Arlington voters will once again approve a new stadium. "The 'Yes' vote will win, but it won't be overwhelmingly so," he said.
Gary and Juanice Young said they made their decision to support the new stadium after processing all they heard and read about the proposition, including a "gazillion mailers." But they didn't want to reveal their votes for president.
"I'm not even sure we voted the same," Gary Young said.

A closer look
Would the new stadium raise my taxes?
Proponents say there will be no new taxes or tax increases. The funding engine would be a half-cent sales tax, hotel-motel tax and car-rental tax already being used to pay for the AT&T Stadium. Voters will decide whether to extend those taxes. Opponents say that is tantamount to a tax increase.
When would the new stadium be built?
Construction could begin as early as 2017, with a grand opening for the 2020 season, the city says. Currently, officials are working on a plan to restructure the city's share of the AT&T Stadium debt — about $155 million.
What's wrong with Globe Life Park?
Nothing as far as beauty and function. But the Rangers want a retractable-roof, climate-controlled stadium, which they hope will boost attendance on hot summer days, and maybe even help recruit more players. But most significant financially, a rain- and heat-proof stadium would open the door to special events that wouldn't face weather-related cancellations.
What's going to happen to Globe Life Park if the new stadium is approved?
The master agreement between the city and the Rangers gives the ballclub exclusive authority to demolish part or all of the former Ballpark in Arlington, which opened in 1994 and was paid off in 20 years, a decade early. Recently the Rangers and developer Cordish Cos. announced they are seriously looking at a variety of ways to repurpose the stadium.
How would a new stadium benefit the economy?
The city touts a study projecting an annual $77.5 million economic impact in Arlington and $137.6 million benefit overall for Tarrant County. Opponents say that's exaggerated, citing track records of other stadiums around the country that didn't spur the anticipated level of development. Proponents say the growth of city sales tax revenues and commerce since the current ballpark and AT&T Stadium opened proves that stadiums work in Arlington — even though neither stadium has spun off a ring of promised retail development. Last month, however, construction began on the first such project, the $250 million Texas Live! entertainment complex and high-rise hotel next to Globe Life Park.

Microsoft and Nintendo's burgeoning relationship continued at E3 this 12 months, with the information that Minecraft Dungeons is Change-bound and that Banjo and Kazooie – characters owned by Microsoft, lest we overlook – are becoming a member of the Tremendous Smash Bros. Final roster.
It is tempting to think about how far this love-in may progress, particularly as Microsoft is seeking to develop its gaming providers to platforms past the Xbox; for instance, it's at present working to deliver its Recreation Move subscription service to Android-based telephones, tablets and TV set-top containers.
In a chat with Large Bomb (thanks, Liam Robertson), Microsoft's Phil Spencer was quizzed on the probabilities of Recreation Move coming to Change, and his reply was extra optimistic than you would possibly count on:
I've mentioned, over time, I might prefer to take Recreation Move all over the place… We're centered on the streaming facet, at the least, on Android, simply because in some methods it is the toughest for us as a result of it is so divserse when it comes to the variety of gadgets.
I really like the position that Nintendo performs within the trade; I really like the truth that Minecraft Dungeons was introduced there and we've actually good relationships with them; [there's] clearly Banjo in Smash. However that platform is completely different sufficient from an Xbox platform that it isn't trivial for us simply to say 'Okay, all these video games would run there'. So you then're like, 'Okay, are we going to stream the video games to there?' I really like what Change is, however the alternative globally to concentrate on an Android platform is simply such a pure first transfer for us. And albeit, [it] will take us fairly some time to work by means of that, in order that's the main focus for us proper now.
However I need to have one of the best console expertise due to what it provides you; I need to be sitting on the sofa with a tremendous expertise; it sounds nice, I've entry to any recreation that I need to play, and if I need to take that whereas I am on the go, I feel the Change is a very cool platform for that; it is simply that within the near-term, it is sort of onerous for us to priortise completely different than we're right now.
Whereas it is clear that Recreation Move coming to Change is a way off – even when it ever occurs in any respect – what actually shines by means of in Spencer's feedback is that Microsoft is open to working with Nintendo sooner or later.
Maybe we'll see different collaborations between the 2, similar to Xbox Dwell Achievements or much more Microsoft-owned video games on Change? (Uncommon Replay, please.)

Martinez chosen for 2020 PlayTrue Torch Relay Project
Tokyo, Japan, October 7, 2015 - Dominican Republic volleyball player Jineiry Martinez has been chosen by the Japanese Anti-Doping Agency to take part in the Play True Torch Relay Project, Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy project.
The PLAY TRUE Torch Relay is a project in which a wide range of athletes of different countries, sport and generations take part to leave a legacy of the "truth" in sport, embracing the world and the future.
The "Truth" that each athlete has found through sport and in living will be inscribed in the unique makimono. It is a symbol of the infinite possibilities of sport and relayed as a message to the world and to the future.
El Deporte me hizo fuerte – Sport has made me strong
"More than anything, when I'm playing volleyball, I try to have no fear," Jineiry said. "To continue to play hard and not fear making mistakes, I always try to play with a smile on my face, staying positive at all times no matter what the situation. This is something I learned from my mother, who worked as a manager for the Youth National Team. "
"What got me started in volleyball was watching my sister, who is one year older than me, play and thinking it was really cool. Though we do get into arguments sometimes, she is a good friend and a good teammate as well on the current National Team. Having someone right there to constantly share the ups and downs is a wonderful thing, and I'm grateful for it."
The 17-year-old Martinez was the youngest athlete at the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup that concluded in Japan recently and part of the Dominican Republic team that won the FIVB Volleyball Women's U20 World Championship this year.
"I've been on the Junior and Youth Teams, and am now on the National Team," Martinez added. "Representing one's country is a big responsibility, and my sense of that responsibility continues to steadily grow. But I don't really feel any pressure. More than anything I simply like playing volleyball.
My future
"At the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games next year and for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, I have high expectations for myself as an athlete. This is why I plan to continue to play without getting away from my foundation, which is to simply enjoy volleyball, the sport I love, and work hard to help make the team a success. I will move forward with a positive attitude, a smile and without fear."

Wa'Jee FCS has Arrived
So I introduced this artist to the blogging world a little earlier this year, and now his second project is finished. I was definitely surprised when I came home only to find, Food Clothes and Shelter in my email box. This project is definitely worth the wait and download. I get excited when I hear good music from an artist thats on his grind. What's even more impressive is that the production credits on the album belong to another grinding Chi City native, Issues, who definitely did his thing on the beat side. The album cover is also dope. I'm one of those people who buy albums for the artwork. Keep it up Wa'Jee!!

* Russian rouble, stocks firm amid stable oil prices
* Romanian leu makes modest recovery against euro
* Turkish lira firms on Finance Minister's comments
By Aaron Saldanha
Jan 23 (Reuters) – Emerging market stocks dipped on Wednesday as fresh doubts over progress in U.S.-China trade talks and global growth concerns weighed, while developing world currencies held firmed against a resurgent dollar.
A report of a preliminary U.S.-China trade meeting being cancelled, though later denied by Washington on Tuesday, put a lid on risk sentiment towards the developing world.
"We are sceptical about any concrete deals being made in the short-term," said Morten Lund, an analyst with Nordea Markets.
"Let's see if Trump changes his mind," he added, noting pressure on U.S. markets would give fresh impetus to talks.
MSCI's index of emerging market stocks declined 0.2 percent, adding to Tuesday's 0.8 percent fall.
Stocks in Taiwan, which have a significant weighting on the benchmark lost half a percent, while those in fellow heavyweights China and South Korea averted heavy losses on hopes China will step up stimulus measures to support its economy.
In the spot market, China's yuan firmed to wipe away all losses incurred since Friday.
Turkey's lira firmed 0.3 percent, weathering data showing consumer confidence fell to 58.2 points in January from 58.7 points a month earlier.
Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said he expects the issue with the United States involving state-backed Halkbank in an Iran sanctions-busting case to be resolved soon.
However, some market participants found Albayrak's assertion that Ankara currently sees no recession or negative growth hard to believe.
"We do believe that Turkey will be hit with recession, and do not share that view. It's a bit surprising their stance given from our sources we know policymakers are at consensus over the country going into recession," said Nordea's Lund.
Turkish stocks rose 0.4 percent, while Halkbank's shares gained 1.1 percent.
Russia's rouble strengthened 0.2 percent, while firm prices of oil aided the country's energy stocks as they drove the local equity index 0.3 percent higher.
South Africa's rand firmed 0.6 percent, recouping some of the Tuesday's 1.1 percent loss.
Data showed headline consumer inflation slowed to 4.5 percent year on year in December from 5.2 percent in the previous month, in line with expectations of a Reuters poll.
In emerging Europe, Romania's leu firmed 0.3 percent against the euro, to recover some of Tuesday's losses, which saw it trade at an all-time low, down 1.4 percent.
Analysts at Societe Generale wrote in a note that while Romania's currency reserves appear sufficient to manage foreign exchange pressures, policy inaction such as not using reserves, changing fiscal policy, or introducing other stabilization policies could keep the leu under pressure as sentiment is fragile.
The surplus yield investors receive by holding Romanian local 10-year bonds as compared to German local 10-year bonds hit its highest in more than six years during the session – at over 498 basis points.

Chicago Stops Dubuque in 3-2 Saturday Night Win
March 16, 2019 - United States Hockey League (USHL) - Chicago Steel News Release
GENEVA, ILLINOIS - The Chicago Steel scored three-straight goals and held off a late rally en route to a 3-2 win over the Dubuque Fighting Saints Friday night at Fox Valley Ice Arena. The Steel (31-19-2-0, 64 pts.) held off a third period rush by the Fighting Saints (24-21-3-4, 55 pts.) as the visitors attempted to tie the game in the final frame. With the win, Chicago's magic number to earn their third-straight playoff berth is at 2.
Dubuque was able to strike first Saturday night thanks to a breakaway goal from forward Riese Gaber, his fourth goal in three games against Chicago this season. Gaber received a breakout pass from linemate Dylan Jackson before tucking a forehand shot around the outstretched leg of Steel goaltender Reilly Herbst. The assist was Jackson's fourth in three games against Chicago.
The Steel had a chance to tie the game later in the first as center Nick Abruzzese drew the defense towards him and fed left wing Gunnarwolfe Fontaine for a one-time shot that sailed just wide.
The second period began with near misses as Steel defenseman Matteo Pietroniro used his skate to break up a three-on-one chance for the Fighting Saints less than three minutes into the middle frame. Chicago later swarmed the Dubuque net midway through the period as the Steel forward unit of Fontaine, Sam Colangelo and Jake Schmaltz buzzed around Fighting Saints netminder Matthew Thiessen.
Chicago would not be denied as they recorded a pair of goals in the back half of the second. Steel left wing Robert Mastrosimone tied the game on a five-hole wrist shot for his third goal of the weekend. Mastrosimone now has 43 career Steel goals, which is tied for second in franchise history, just three back of the leader.
The Steel took the lead on Pietroniro's 17th goal of the season as he strode in two-on-none and slipped a shot through the five-hole of Thiessen with just more than a minute to play in the second.
Chicago extended its lead to two in the final frame as left wing Josh Groll scored his ninth goal of the season. Abruzzese had the set-up pass for his 104th career Steel point, moving him into a tie for third all-time in franchise history.
A Dubuque timeout re-energized the Fighting Saints who answered with a goal less than four minutes later from forward Matias Maccelli to cut the Steel lead to 3-2 midway through the third.
Thiessen was pulled for an extra attacker with a little more than one minute to play in the game but strong defensive play from the Steel left Dubuque without a quality chance to find the equalizer.
The Steel could punch their ticket to the playoffs as soon as Sunday, March 17. If the Central Illinois Flying Aces lose in regulation in their game vs. Sioux City, the Steel clinch their third-straight playoff berth.
The Chicago Steel are back in action for a trio of games next week, including a pair of road tilts in Green Bay on Tuesday and Friday night for a pair of 7:05 p.m. puck drops. The Steel are back in front of the home crowd Sunday, March 24 for Daddy Daughter Princess Day featuring Rapunzel presented by Wausau Homes North Aurora in a 3:05 p.m. faceoff against the Lincoln Stars. Sunday's game is a Steel Family Pack as fans can purchase four tickets, hot dogs, sodas and chuck-a-pucks starting at just $48. Fans are invited to stick around after the game to Skate with the Steel.
Tickets for all Steel home games are on sale now starting at just $10 and stadium seating on the glass is available for just $20. Parking is always free.

Why not just wait until you get the additional information?
Because I don't necessarily trust that I would be getting the full story. I wanted to see if other parents knew what it was about. My son has been in what I think is a pretty good school. No "progressive" shenanigans, save one: I volunteered to help out to take the kids on an outing. It was a play. Turned out the play had a VERY aggressive socialist message to it. Something about a merchant who sold blankets and learned that it was much better if he gave his blankets away rather than sell them. I was not happy. If I had known the subject and story line of the play my child would not have attended.

Severe Drought Bedevils Maine
Gov. Angus King is working on a plan to conserve water amid a severe drought that appears likely to persist in the weeks ahead.
Already, the drought has forced some people to drill new wells, if they can find someone to do it, or take steps to save water. Some farmers are worried their livestock won't survive the winter without a reliable source of water.
"The situation is not good," said Lynette Miller of the Maine Emergency Management Agency. "We are in a state of severe drought heading into the winter, and water problems that exist now are likely to persist into the winter."
A month ago, stream flows and groundwater were at or near record low levels. Precipitation levels so far this year are 35-45 percent below normal across Maine, said meteorologist Tom Hawley of the National Weather Service.
A drought occurs when the precipitation levels over a 12-month period are 15 percent or more below normal.
"This may work out to be among the top five or six driest years since 1871, when records began," Hawley said.
Light rain that fell late last week did little to ease the water shortage. Multiple rainfalls over a long period are needed to break a drought, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Boothbay Harbor and Castine have imposed water-conservation measures, and officials in Calais, Island Falls, New Portland, Winter Harbor, East Millinocket, Monson and Port Clyde have asked for voluntary conservation, said Tony Sprague, spokesman for King.
The dry pattern, which is most severe in Maine from Boothbay to Eastport, is not due to an extraordinary meteorological event like El Nino, experts say.
The drought is simply due to the lack of rain the state has received since summer.
"Storms are missing us," said Gregory Zielinski, the state climatologist.
As dry weather continues, so many private wells are going dry that drillers can't keep up with the demand for new wells.
Buxton well-driller Arthur D. Tompson Jr., who has 40 people on his waiting list, said, "Wells are drying up left and right. We're doing the best we can to help everybody, but there's only so much we can do."

text: This book examines the complex and varied ways in which fictions relate to the real world, and offers a precise account of how imaginative works of literature can use fictional content to explore matters of universal human interest. While rejecting the traditional view that literature is important for the truths that it imparts, the authors also reject attempts to cut literature off altogether from real human concerns. Their detailed account of fictionality, mimesis, and cognitive value, founded on the methods of analytical philosophy, restores to literature its distinctive status among cultural practices. The authors also explore metaphysical and skeptical views, prevalent in modern thought, according to which the world itself is a kind of fiction, and truth no more than a social construct. They identify different conceptions of fiction in science, logic, epistemology, and make-believe, and thereby challenge the idea that discourse per se is fictional and that different modes of discourse are at root indistinguishable. They offer rigorous analyses of the roles of narrative, imagination, metaphor, and "making" in human thought processes. Both in their methods and in their conclusions, Lamarque and Olsen aim to restore rigor and clarity to debates about the values of literature, and to provide new, philosophically sound foundations for a genuine change of direction in literary theorizing.

Boar taint is a major meat quality defect, which affects about 10% of entire male pigs. It is due to an excessive accumulation of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue. One of the reasons for accumulation of these compounds is a low rate of their metabolism. Androstenone is metabolised in liver via the enzyme 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD). This enzyme is well characterised in the testis, where it participates in the synthesis of steroids, while its properties in liver are unknown. The aim of the present study was to characterise and compare properties of HSD from pig liver versus pig testis when metabolising androstenone.
Skatole is formed as a result of bacterial degradation of tryptophan in the rumen of cattle and sheep, and the hindgut of pigs. It accumulates in fat where it is an important component of boar taint in pigs (Claus et al, 1994), and with branched chain fatty acids, has been implicated as a contributor to the strong flavour characteristic of sheepmeat (Young et al, 1997). This study examines the role of breed, diet and age on skatole deposition in the fat and perception of beef flavour.
Economic analyses of cholera immunization programmes require estimates of the costs of cholera. The Diseases of the Most Impoverished programme measured the public, provider, and patient costs of culture-confirmed cholera in four study sites with endemic cholera using a combination of hospital- and community-based studies. Families with culture-proven cases were surveyed at home 7 and 14 days after confirmation of illness. Public costs were measured at local health facilities using a micro-costing methodology. Hospital-based studies found that the costs of severe cholera were US$32 and US$47 in Matlab and Beira. Community-based studies in North Jakarta and Kolkata found that cholera cases cost between US$28 and US$206, depending on hospitalization. Patients' cost of illness as a percentage of average monthly income were 21% and 65% for hospitalized cases in Kolkata and North Jakarta, respectively. This burden on families is not captured by studies that adopt a provider perspective.
Growth rate is an important performance indicator in pig production and therefore influences profitability. There is also evidence that faster growing pigs have superior tenderness (MLC, 1989), possibly linked to faster muscle protein deposition through the activity and expression of proteolytic enzymes. Slow growth could also result in higher boar taint levels in entire male pigs because they will be older and sexually more mature at slaughter (MLC, 1989). The current project was therefore undertaken to investigate the effect of variations in growth rate on tenderness and boar taint.
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of herbage or concentrate feeding system and tannin addition to diet on skatole and indole in ruminal fluid and adipose tissue and meat sensory properties. Twenty-eight male lambs aged 45 days were randomly assigned to one of two feeding systems (vetch green herbage or concentrates, n = 14) and within feeding system to one supplement (quebracho tannins added to the diet or none). Animals were kept in singular pens and slaughtered at the age of 105 days. Indole (P < 0.05) and skatole (P < 0.01) concentrations in ruminal fluid were higher in lambs fed herbage compared to those given concentrates. Skatole in ruminal fluid tended to be present at lower concentrations in animals that received the tannin supplementation (P = 0.07). Indole was also higher in the caudal fat of animals fed green vetch compared to those fed concentrate (P = 0.04). Skatole concentration was lower in the fat of lambs fed concentrates compared to those given herbage (P = 0.05) and was lower in the fat of animals supplemented with tannins compared to the animals not supplemented (P = 0.01). Sheep meat odour was lower in meat from animals supplemented with tannins compared to those not supplemented (P < 0.01). It is concluded that tannins are more effective in reducing skatole formation in ruminants when they are associated with concentrate diets than green herbages.
Boar taint is a major meat-quality defect in pigs and is due to excessive accumulation of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue. The present work investigated the relationship between carcass weight, levels of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue, and expression of the hepatic androstenone-metabolising enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), in 22 entire male and 22 entire female crossbred pigs (Large White (40%) × Landrace (40%) × Duroc (20%)). Animals of each gender were divided into two subgroups (11 pigs in each subgroup): (i) conventional weight (carcass weight 59 to 77 kg) and (ii) heavy weight (carcass weight 84 to 95 kg). No relationship between carcass weight and adipose tissue skatole level was found for entire male pigs (r2 = 0.013, P > 0.05). There was a significant negative relationship between carcass weight and expression of the hepatic 3β-HSD protein (r2 = 0.502, P < 0.001) and a significant negative relationship between 3β-HSD protein expression and androstenone level in adipose tissue (r2 = 0.24, P < 0.05) in entire males. No relationship was found between carcass weight and 3β-HSD protein expression in female pigs (r2 = 0.001, P > 0.05). 3β-HSD expression was 59% higher in conventional-weight male pigs when compared with heavy-weight animals (P < 0.05) and 36% higher in heavy-weight females when compared with heavy-weight males (P < 0.05). It is concluded that an increase in slaughter weight of entire commercial crossbred Large White pigs is accompanied by inhibition of expression of the hepatic 3β-HSD protein, which might result in a reduced rate of hepatic androstenone clearance with its subsequent accumulation in adipose tissue. It is suggested that regulation of pig hepatic 3β-HSD expression is under the control of sex hormones.
A main aim of modern pig production is to reduce nitrogen excretion to the environment, capturing more of the dietary protein in saleable meat. One way to achieve this is to reduce dietary protein level but this is likely to increase fat deposition, especially in late-developing fat depots. Meat quality will also be affected and these effects will all be influenced by breed type. This study compared three nutritional strategies differing in dietary protein provision in terms of their effects on growth and fat deposition.
A reduced protein diet (RPD) is known to increase the level of intramuscular lipid in pig meat with a smaller effect on the amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue. This might be due to tissue-specific activation of the expression of lipogenic enzymes by the RPD. The present study investigated the effect of a RPD, containing palm kernel oil, soyabean oil or palm oil on the activity and expression of one of the major lipogenic enzymes, stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and on the level of total lipids and the fatty acid composition of muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue in pigs. The RPD significantly increased SCD protein expression and activity in muscle but not in subcutaneous adipose tissue. The level of MUFA and total fatty acids in muscle was also elevated when the RPD was fed, with only small changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue. A positive significant correlation between SCD protein expression and total fatty acids in muscle was found. The results suggest that an increase in intramuscular but not subcutaneous adipose tissue fatty acids under the influence of a RPD is related to tissue-specific activation of SCD expression. It is suggested that the SCD isoform spectra in pig subcutaneous adipose tissue and muscle might be different.
The effect of feeding different sources of dietary fibre at varying rates of inclusion on the concentrations of skatole and indole in the backfat of finishing pigs and their subsequent carcass quality was studied. Sugar-beet pulp (SBP) and straw (S) were selected because of their assumed widely differing hind-gut fermentability characteristics. They were individually and in combination added to a diet at three rates of inclusion designed to provide concentrations of 40, 80 and 120 g non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) per kg. The digestible energy (DE) contents varied between the three levels of inclusion of NSP but were formulated to a lysine: energy ratio of 0.625 g: MJ DE with other amino acids being in the same individual proportion to lysine. The nine experimental diets were offered to 10 replicate (five entire males and five females) pigs of initial live weight 55 kg. Food intakes were adjusted between treatment to ensure that energy and nutrient intakes were common. Animals were slaughtered on reaching 85 kg live weight. Adipose tissue was analysed for skatole and indole and meat quality characteristics assessed. No significant differences in performance were detected although carcasses from animals given sugar-beet pulp were significantly fatter. There were significant correlations between the level of skatole in the backfat and the following eating quality characteristics: skatole odour intensity of the fat, abnormal odour intensity of fat, abnormal odour intensity of lean and abnormal flavour intensity of lean with correlations coefficients of 0·656 , 0·709 , 0·496 and 0·523 respectively (coefficients >0.276; P < 0·05). The range in skatole levels in the backfat were attributable substantially to very high levels found in three boars. No significant correlations were found between indole concentrations in the backfat and eating quality characteristics. However no effects of dietary NSP type or inclusion level on the eating quality characteristics of pig meat, with pigs given diets on the basis of equal energy and nutrient intakes, were detected.
The fatty acid composition of meat has important effects on its succulence and flavour. The neutral lipids of muscle, are mainly energy stores resembling adipose tissue and affect the succulence of meat. However, the phospholipids, which are structural components of muscle, are important in the development of the species specific cooked meat flavour and odour. We have investigated the effects of feeding diets differing mainly in their linoleic acid content on the fatty acid composition of the lipids of M. Longissimus dorsi (LD) of pigs.

Hedge Funds and Stock Price Formation
30 Pages Posted: 2 Aug 2012 Last revised: 16 Aug 2018
Date Written: April 6, 2018
Using comprehensive quarterly data on hedge fund stock holdings, we study the role of hedge funds in the process of stock price formation. We find that hedge funds tend to hold undervalued stocks, and that both hedge fund ownership and their trades are positively related to the degree of stock mispricing. A portfolio consisting of undervalued stocks with high hedge fund ownership generates a risk-adjusted return of 0.40% per month (or, 4.8% annually), and the profit stands even after transaction costs. Hedge fund ownership and trades also precede the dissipation of stock mispricing. In contrast, these patterns are either nonexistent or much weaker for other types of institutional investors. Taken together, our results suggest that hedge funds exploit and help correct mispricing, but the process is not instantaneous.

Why the long face, Jack?
Former White Stripe Jack White is notorious for being anti-camera. So much so in fact that at his recent gig at the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham there was a strict 'no photos' policy enforced for journalists (including yours truly) and, prior to his arrival on stage, White arranged for one of his pals to come out and ask the audience not to take any photographs of the show on their camera phones - a plea which mostly fell upon deaf ears.
White also enforces a strict 'no screens' policy at home too, meaning his two children presumably play with wooden horses and marbles instead of Xbox's and iPads and hey, more power to them, but White also clearly takes huge umbrage at being photographed out in public - even at a sports game in which there are probably several thousand cameras within a 200 feet radius of him.
As you can see from the tweet below, he was clearly none-too-impressed by the attention he was getting. Does anyone else think he looks like a pissed-off Edward Scissorhands?

Build new leads. In network marketing, leads are potential customers. You'll need to keep finding new leads if you want to keep making money. There are various ways you can find new leads, and you should use multiple strategies to attract the largest market possible.
I agree it would be hard to live off $50 jobs but for me I have a full time job and am just starting to get my feet wet in freelancing. An extra $200 month would be great. That would cover singing lessons for my daughter and half my monthly gas money. It's all about what your needs are and starting out.
Phase 3: Quickly write, record, and edit the course content. As he already knew there was demand, it made sense to create the content as quickly as possible. He could always go back and update or edit based on feedback from his initial students.
You'll also want to make your YouTube channel more easily found by adding relevant keywords under the "Advanced" section and picking your targeted country (where you think most of your viewers are). If you have a personal blog or site, add it as an "associated website."
I was also looking for work from home jobs and from all the ones that I have tried I like appen buttler hill (search engine job) and the coderversity affiliate job the most. with coderversity I learn from $200-$500 per enrolled student. I have also tried leapforce and I have to say it is pretty hard to get in and there is not always work.
The first follows the startup path we outlined above: You have a disruptive idea for an app or piece of software, you validate the idea with real customers, and then raise money to hire developers or a development studio to build, launch, and scale your software. If you've done everything right, your software will be accepted to the Apple and Google Stores and you'll make money every time someone downloads it or pays for a premium feature.
While participants' movement up the pyramid of an MLM can be accomplished in theory, and indeed this is one of the distinguishing factors between MLMs and traditional pyramid schemes (besides featuring actual sales of products or services), said upward movement is so extremely improbable as to render it practically impossible, despite all efforts and investments of time and money by a participant.
I was battling with aches and pain in my lower back for over a year and half . Somebody introduced me to kyani products, it helps me a lot to get rid of such terrible aches and pains , thank to kyani Nitro Fx/Extreme. Though its not a medicine , but definitely it helps me to replace the medicine…
There are tons of opportunities available to tutor online in all different subjects. The pay varies depending on the site and subject matter, and some jobs require certain certifications or degrees. Here are a few tutoring sites to check out:
In an October 15, 2010 article, it was stated that documents of a MLM called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing reveal that 30 percent of its representatives make no money and that 54 percent of the remaining 70 percent only make $93 a month, before costs. Fortune was under investigation by the Attorneys General of Texas, Kentucky, North Dakota, and North Carolina with Missouri, South Carolina, Illinois, and Florida following up complaints against the company.[37]
Congratulations Alexa, I loved your list of ideas for working from home. Today there are many mothers who need to work and have no one to leave their children with. And your list brings a great variety of home-based business opportunities.
As far as the money-making goes and your ability to break out financially with Kyani, its defintetly possible with the right coaching and mentoring. The problem is that the traditional MLM model (make a list of your family and friends, spam your FB friends, etc) doesn't work.
Now I know the question you are asking is how much money do I make for the amount of traffic that I get. I get paid every time an ad is shown on my site but you get fractions of a penny for each view. For this reason, ad dollars are measured in CPM.

Because of the strong interest in quality of life and work-life balance issues, life coaches have become popular in recent years. Unlike the intellectual demands of becoming a technical or executive coach, life coaching can be successful if you possess common sense, a respect for family and a commitment to enjoy life to the max every day and helping others do the same.
Let's go ahead and get this out of the way. There are all kinds of websites that will pay you for various things, such as shopping, taking surveys or testing products. No, I'm not getting paid to promote any of these and no, these websites won't make you a millionaire, but they are great for earning some extra cash. I'll leave out the scams.
The Wild Alaskan Blueberries packs a powerful range of natural health benefits. There's no health product that could get any better than Kyani Sunrise. With the addition of 22 other Superfoods, there really is no better way to start your day than with Kyani Sunrise.
i have resourceful article where i have come to learn lots of information bt i will request you about one thing, that is can u mention about some companies who are hiring and giving giving people solely to work from home. Not like freelancing or related job bt companies like crossover……. 🙂
Learning doesn't only happen in a traditional classroom setting. Education is one of the most popular work-from-home jobs out there, allowing teachers and educators alike the opportunity to school students from anywhere in the country—and frankly, the world. For this full-time remote job, you'll work one on one with students virtually offering math tutoring in geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, AP statistics, and so on via iPad and iPhone applications. You'll need to have a bachelor's degree and a current teaching license to apply for this position.
My husband is a Kyani distributor and is already receiving checks in the mail from Kyani. We personally know 5 Kyani members who have surpassed Diamond status and already have 2 luxury cars that are paid for by the company. These people have showed up to our home to host private business receptions (PBRs) using powerpoint. The only thing that could get in the way of your success in this company is YOU. Kyani is not a scam.

Some student accommodation comes with a drive or garage. If you aren't using your parking space and you live in a busy area then you might be in luck. There are plenty of people that may work in the city centre and are fed up of paying through the roof for daily parking.
Subscription – If you think of something valuable (newsletter, online magazine, etc.) that you can consistently offer on a certain basis (weekly, monthly, etc.), you may want to offer a subscription service. This could be a fee charged each time your product is sent out or on a monthly basis. Either way, this has to be something that your customers can only get by subscribing to your website.
For the past several years, I've been on a mission to experiment with the best ways to create sustainable online income and chase my dreams of self-employment. And while I've seen my fair share of success, things haven't always been easy either.

If an investor puts $500,000 into a candy store with the agreement that the owners would pay the investor a percentage of earnings, that would be considered passive income as long as the investor does not participate in the operation of the business in any meaningful way other than placing the investment. The IRS states, however, that if the investor did help manage the company with the owners, the investor's income could be seen as active since the investor provided "material participation."
In 2006, the most active sectors for affiliate marketing were the adult gambling, retail industries and file-sharing services.[21]:149–150 The three sectors expected to experience the greatest growth are the mobile phone, finance, and travel sectors.[21] Soon after these sectors came the entertainment (particularly gaming) and Internet-related services (particularly broadband) sectors. Also several of the affiliate solution providers expect to see increased interest from business-to-business marketers and advertisers in using affiliate marketing as part of their mix.[21]:149–150
If you have a propensity for writing and you can slay with your prose, consider writing an ebook. While the market has certainly become saturated as of late, books that help teach people about a technical topic still sell extremely well. This is a great source of passive income but does require a large amount of effort at the outset before any money is generated.
In April 2008 the State of New York inserted an item in the state budget asserting sales tax jurisdiction over Amazon.com sales to residents of New York, based on the existence of affiliate links from New York–based websites to Amazon.[45] The state asserts that even one such affiliate constitutes Amazon having a business presence in the state, and is sufficient to allow New York to tax all Amazon sales to state residents. Amazon challenged the amendment and lost at the trial level in January 2009. The case is currently making its way through the New York appeals courts.
SkimLinks is primarily for established content producers (bloggers) who want to monetize their content. With a powerful WordPress plugin and scripts for just about any website type, setting up SkimLinks is very easy. And because you have access to all offers on their platform after you're approved, SkimLinks is very well designed for affiliates who don't want to spend a lot of time fiddling around with settings and other fine-tuning.
It doesn't pay much, but if you're a healthy person and want to make a bit of extra money online, the AchieveMint app will reward you for doing things like walking, tracking your food, or taking health surveys. AchieveMint works by connecting to fitness apps you might already be using like Fitbit, RunKeeper, Healthkit, and MyFitnessPal and then giving you points for certain actions. For every 10,000 points, you earn $10 with no limit on your earnings.
File-Sharing: Web sites that host directories of music, movies, games and other software. Users upload content to file-hosting sites and then post descriptions of the material and their download links on directory sites. Uploaders are paid by the file-hosting sites based on the number of times their files are downloaded. The file-hosting sites sell premium download access to the files to the general public. The websites that host the directory services sell advertising and do not host the files themselves.
It is important to note, however, that StudioPress is now a subsidiary of WPEngine which is the company that actually does the web hosting on which StudioPress's Genesis framework runs. The affiliate program only works with choosing the StudioPress framework and themes, not the actual hosting on WPEngine. WPEngine has a separate affiliate program for its hosting services, which yes, is a bit confusing.
If you have a knack for organization, you can make money online as a virtual assistant helping people to keep their days in order. A virtual assistant will do everyinthing from bookkeeping to research, database entry, booking travel, and managing email. It can also be an awesome way to rub shoulders with some very important people, build up your professional network, and of course grow another stream of income. You can find great gigs on UpWork, Fiverr, Indeed, and Remote.co.
I'm a South African College Lecturer and I intend on leaving my job to find a career online as I realise that I can't continue earning an income the same way my grandmother did. So I'm on the hunt for online income generating opportunities. This article has been helpful and I have booked marked it. I have started my journey with buying bitcoins, joining a social financial community: MMM, and now am looking to add to my list Blogging, Youtubing, Creating an App/s, creating an online course, creating online guides. Your article has proven very helpful and excellent in many regards….I will use it as a reference guide. Thanks a lot.
In the BigCommerce affiliate program, you receive a 200% bounty per referral and $1,500 per Enterprise referral, with no cap on commissions. Plus, the more referrals you drive through the program, the higher your commission tier will go. BigCommerce uses an industry leading 90-day cookie, so you will receive credit for up to three months for the referrals you generate. Also, there are no obligations or minimum commitments to join the program.
Affiliate marketing currently lacks industry standards for training and certification. There are some training courses and seminars that result in certifications; however, the acceptance of such certifications is mostly due to the reputation of the individual or company issuing the certification. Affiliate marketing is not commonly taught in universities, and only a few college instructors work with Internet marketers to introduce the subject to students majoring in marketing.[41]
Self Publishing is mainstream today. When you purchase an eBook off of Amazon there's a pretty good chance you're buying a self-published book. Self-publishing is also ridiculously easy. I tried this a few years ago and couldn't believe how simple the process was. To self-publish a book you'll first need to write and edit it, create a cover, and then upload to a program such as Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. Don't expect instant success though. There will need to be a lot of upfront marketing before you can turn this into a passive income stream.
If it's not clear yet, information and expertise are two of the most consistent and lucrative ways to make extra money online. If you don't like talking on the phone, you can sign up to get paid to answer professional questions on JustAnswer. There are thousands of questions being asked every month from people looking for help from lawyers, doctors, mechanics, vets, and more. To apply, you'll need to supply your professional verification, resume, and a form of identification.
Daily Surveys can be taken one or more times per day. This is indicated in the survey description. Other targeted surveys can be taken as you see them. Be sure to complete these when you see them. Some surveys may accept a limited number of responses from people matching your demographics, and can sometimes disappear quickly. New surveys come out all the time too!
Not necessarily, but a blog is really the best promotional tool. With that said, you can always use methods such as PPC or advertising to promote a product. This is another popular method to grow in affiliate marketing. For me, the best way to make the most out of affiliate marketing opportunities is to have a blog. Learn how to start a blog here.
Has anyone ever told you you have a voice for radio? Are you great at creating original characters with just your voice? There are tons of people looking to pay for quality voice overs for their corporate videos, animation series, or educational videos. Check out Fiverr and UpWork or create a profile on a specialized site like Voices.com or The Voice Realm to get started making money online doing voice overs.
What It Is: Students in countries including Japan, Korea, France and Germany are looking for English speakers to practice with. Sessions focus on things like making professional small talk or running a meeting (trainers are provided with specifics on how to teach each topic, and are also trained themselves for two days before starting the job). Lessons take place either over the phone or on a live Internet video service like Skype — sometimes at night, because you're working with students in different time zones. You need to commit to a minimum of 20 hours a week at consistent times, and can work as many as 35 hours.
ClickBank allows you to join for free, and the approval process is virtually automatic, so it's a great choice for people entering the affiliated game for the first time. ClickBank has a ton of information, including FAQs, walk-throughs, and videos available, so the barrier to entry is quite low. There's also a (paid) program called ClickBank University with courses and assistance from experienced marketers.
I've explored for some time, made small investments over the years which I will say none of which panned out. I'm nearing the end of a long lucrative career as a hairdresser and honestly would love some peace at home and bring in a passive income. Would love to hear whats made your life as a mom better. Congratulations on your up and coming newest little member to your clan.
Affiliate marketing has grown quickly since its inception. The e-commerce website, viewed as a marketing toy in the early days of the Internet, became an integrated part of the overall business plan and in some cases grew to a bigger business than the existing offline business. According to one report, the total sales amount generated through affiliate networks in 2006 was £2.16 billion in the United Kingdom alone. The estimates were £1.35 billion in sales in 2005.[19] MarketingSherpa's research team estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned US$6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing, and forms of lead generation other than contextual advertising programs.[20]
In the last 10 years, ShoutMeLoud has inspired millions of lives around the globe to help them earn passive income via affiliate marketing. It would not have been possible if I had not quite my call-center job to pursue my passion. When I think about this, I find it amazing as for how my life unfolded when I took the courage of starting something of my own.
Rental properties are defined as passive income with a couple of exceptions. If you're a real estate professional, any rental income you're making counts as active income. If you're "self-renting," meaning that you own a space and are renting it out to a corporation or partnership where you conduct business, that does not constitute passive income unless that lease had been signed before 1988, in which case you've been grandfathered into having that income being defined as passive. According to the IRS's Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules, "it doesn't matter whether or not the use is under a lease, a service contract, or some other arrangement."

Now, making money online should seem like a pleasurable activity. Why wouldn't we do just about anything to see things through, since it would be a major source of pleasure, right? Wrong. In the beginning, like anything else, we might get really excited about it. We might also set our hopes very high. But that all comes crashing down when we begin to fail.
