- Steps to a successful mentoring relationship
- Differences between sponsors and mentors
- How to resolve conflict within a mentoring relationship
- Resources available through the Mentoring Academy
This is also a good opportunity to meet other mentees across the UC Davis Schools of Health.

2/21/2019, Thursday, TBD Sacramento
Module 1 - Aligning Expectations and Developing Contracts
One critical element of an effective mentor-mentee relationship is a shared understanding of what each person expects from the relationship. Problems between mentors and mentees often arise from misunderstandings about expectations. Importantly, expectations change over time so frequent reflection and clear communication is needed to maintain a collaborative relationship.
Workshops held from 12-2pm.
9/17/18, Tuesday @ Genome Building, Room 3206, Davis Campus

Module 2 - Maintaining Effective Communication; Assessing Understanding
Maintaining Effective Communication
Good communication is a key element of any relationship and a mentoring relationship is no exception. As mentors, it is not enough to say that we know good communication when we see it. Rather, it is critical that mentors reflect upon and identify specific characteristics of effective communication and take time to practice communication skills.
Assessing Understanding
Determining if someone understands the content and process of their discipline is not easy, yet this determination is critical to a productive mentoring relationship. Developing strategies to assess a mentee's understanding, especially of core research, educational or clinical concepts, is an important part of becoming an effective mentor. Moreover, it is important for mentors to be able to identify the causes for a lack of understanding and strategies for addressing such misunderstandings.
Workshops held from 12-2pm.

Module 4 - Addressing Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity, along a range of dimensions, offers both opportunities and challenges to any relationship. Learning to identify, reflect upon, learn from, and engage with diverse perspectives is critical to forming and maintaining both an effective mentoring relationship as well as a vibrant learning environment. In this session, mentors will think about how to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best learning and create the highest quality of research, both because of and in spite of their diverse perspectives.
Please check back later. No workshops are scheduled at this time.
Module 5 - Promoting Professional Development, Fostering Independence
Promoting Professional Development
The ultimate goal of most mentoring situations is to enable the mentee to identify and achieve some academic and professional outcomes after the training period. Non-research professional development activities are sometimes seen as secondary to the core business of doing research, but are often critically important to identifying and successfully meeting the mentee's long-term career objectives, as well as to the research itself.
Fostering Independence
An important goal in any mentoring relationship is helping the mentee become independent; yet defining what an independent mentee knows and can do is often not articulated by the mentor or the mentee. Defining what independence looks like across career paths and stages, and developing skills to foster independence is important to becoming an effective mentor. Defining independence becomes increasingly complex in the context of collaborative research.
Please check back later. No workshops are scheduled at this time.

Away from the tourist-packed, chaotic, happening places of Bali lies a mystical land. Quite forgotten by everyone, Eastern Bali is a world in itself. The black sand beaches, spill down mountains, gigantic volcanoes, ancient temples, lush rice terraces offer nothing less than tranquillity and food for the soul. For all those who wish to spend a day or two in the arms of nature, exploring the rich historical heritage of Bali, basking in the natural sensations of the volcanic mountains and crystalline beaches and absorbing the traditional lifestyle in the typical Balinese villages, a trip to the Eastern Bali is compulsory. Let's travel to east Bali.
There are loads of places to explore in Eastern Bali. In order to enrich your spiritual value, Goa Lawah Temple can be an option. Located in the Pesinggahan Village, around 2-hour distance from Denpasar city, this temple is built around a cave opening that is inhabited by hordes of bats, and hence called the 'Bat Cave'. In the centre, you will see Shivaite shrine, thousands of year old together with a bale adorned with the motifs of Balinese mythical dragon. The huge banyan trees keep the atmosphere in the temple cool and breezy, and will make you feel refreshed instantly. Another worth visiting temple in the east of Bali is the ancient Besakih Temple, which also known as Bali's 'Mother Temple'. Over 1,000 years, it sits 1,000 metres high on the south-western slopes of Mount Agung. The high location of Mount Agung gives the temple a mystical quality. Besakih Temple features three temples dedicated to the Hindu trinity Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. You will witness a cluster of temples and shrines, each having their own story and uniqueness.
Bali is considered to be an all year diving destination for the diving enthusiasts. As the famous diving spot, Tulamben comprises of a black sand slope with a thousand-year-old shipwreck and coral gardens. It contains a stunningly diverse underwater ecosystem, and therefore the main dive sites offer different physical environments. The wreck is humongous and a fantastic playground to explore, while you can also find the rare pygmy seahorse in the area. It is the perfect place for underwater photography. Amed is another famous diving spot for soul and body relaxation. Gear up your diving suits to explore the underwater flora and fauna. The teeming marine life here includes various tropical fish, sea turtle, reef tip shark, rays and vibrant coral gardens. You can also spot the traditional Balinese wooden boats called 'Jukung' available for fishing charters.
For the beach-goers, the recommended beaches in the east of Bali would be Bias Tugel Beach and Candidasa Beach. Located very close to Padang Bai Port, Bias Tugel Beach is also known as the Secret Beach. You have to walk through a fairly steep and rocky terrain to reach the white sandy beach. The clean water allows you to dive or snorkel to see the beautifully coloured coral reefs and various ornamental fish. Travelling further along the eastern coast of Bali, you will spot Candidasa Beach. This beach offers a tropical climate with thriving coconut trees, perfect spot to unwind. The wind mixed with the smell of the ocean, and the scent of the trees creates an intoxicating perfume. If you are carrying a picnic bag, you may want to stop by and relax for a few hours.
The trekking addicts have a lot of mysterious and adventure spots to explore in the east part of the island. Kintamani is the most favourite trekking destination. The magnificent view of the Batur caldera lake serves as the main attraction, surrounded by the captivating Mount Batur range. In no time you will feel yourself sinking in the beauty of Lake Batur, Kintamani highlands and the fascinating coffee plantations. While at the foot of Mount Abang, you can choose to trek up through dense tropical forests. The trek is considered to be a pilgrim to top of the high spirited atmosphere. The view from the top is simply breath-taking with cloud hovering over the lake and the volcanic cone of Batur on one side, and Mount Agung along with a magnificent shoreline on the other. If you are one of those serious hikers, you could consider taking the trek to Mount Agung.
For those who want to spend their day enhancing their knowledge on the local culture and lifestyle, Ujung Water Palace will bring you closer to Bali's historical heritage. This famous palace consists of large pools and historic structures set against a backdrop of Mount Agung and the eastern shoreline. You will be fascinated by the blend of Balinese and European architecture. The whole park covering an approximate 10 hectares of land gives you enough space to stroll around and marvel at the ancient structures. While on the historical journey, make sure to visit Tirta Gangga. On entering the site, the first thing you will notice is a pond where rows of guardian figures holding cudgels are neatly arranged. The polygonal stepping stones will allow you to tour on the pond. The huge towering fountains, marvellous ancient springs and huge banyan trees will be a cool retreat in the humid afternoon. The Klungklung Palace in Semarapura can be another famous historic attraction in the east. The palace includes a floating pavilion, main gates and the court of justice. You will be amazed by the paintings that lead up to the ceiling. The grounds are easily walkable and absolutely gorgeous. In the floating pavilion, you would find Balinese artists creating wonderful paintings.
If you are keen to blend with the locals, Sidemen Village would be perfect for strolling around lazily. Located near Besaikh Temple, this village will feed you well with lush, green paddy fields, river valleys and wild pastures, all nestled along the slopes of Mount Agung. Take a walk in the rice fields and interact with the villagers to understand their lifestyle closely.
The Eastern part of Bali has lots to offer, both to the eyes and to the soul. You can choose from an array of mountains, temples, beaches, paddy fields or royal palaces, and plan the itinerary yourself. The list is so exhaustive that it is impossible even for a local person to visit all paces in one go. So, either you are a tourist or a local resident, Bali will never stop to amaze you. "The more you read, the more you will Know. The more you Learn, the more places you will go."

This year, I got into RAMROD (though it should more correctly be named "Ride on the Eastside of Mount Rainier in One Day because the roads are washed out" - I guess ROTEMROD isn't terribly catchy...), which features (among other things) a climb up Sunrise. Sunrise being a small visitor center on the east flank of Mount Rainier, a great place to visit, so much nicer (and sometimes less crowded) than Paradise on the south side. If you look at the page on the climb, you'll see that it's about 3000 feet of climbing, which is something I haven't done yet.
So, given that I'm off this week between jobs, I spent the night at my ski place in Skykomish, and rode up Stevens Pass, which is very similar to Sunrise. I started at the Skykomish city park on the north side of the river, headed across the tracks to ride old cascade road to where it met highway 2, and then up and up to the summit. The weather was bright sunny, and about 45 degree at the start.
The first 6 miles is a warmup. There are a few bridges where you need to look for a break in traffic, and a bit where there's not a lot of shoulder. There are also some steep parts and some flat parts (and one pseudo-flat part...). Given how often I've driven this route (easily in the hundreds of times), I was struck by how different it is at 11 MPH. You're near the river for the bulk of the time, and the sound of rushing water is never far away. It's really pretty and the light traffic didn't really detract from the experience.
Things start getting steep at Deception falls (a nice stop when you're in the area), and once you get to Glacier, you leave the river and the railroad behind and just climb. The shoulders from there on all the way up are great, and the road is two lanes the whole way, so there are few traffic worries (though the large trucks laboring up the hill at 25 MPH do get your attention).
I settled in and did the remainder of the climb at around 7.5 MPH, with my HR somewhere in the 130s, which was fairly comfortable from a HR perspective but not really from a leg perspective. Though the temp was in the mid 40s, I had to take of my jacket off to stay cool enough, even in the shade. The last mile or so was enhanced with a nice 10 MPH headwind coming from the east.
At the top, I sat down on the 6-pack chair next to the granite peaks lodge (that Stevens bought someplace surplus, since they don't have any 6-person lifts), and rested while looking around. If you were willing to do some hiking, you could still ski skyline top to bottom with only a couple of bare spots.
16.1 miles
Average speed: 9.3 MPH
Average HR: 137 BPM
Elevation Gain: 3175 feet
Steep part:
9.5 miles
Average speed: 7.7 MPH
Average HR: 142 BPM
Elevation Gain: 2680 feet
After 20 minutes of rest, I put on my jacket and headed down. I did the steep part in 19 minutes, at an average speed of 31 MPH (would have been faster, but I had to slow down for hairpin because the pavement is really torn up). The total descent took 36 minutes, averaging 26 MPH.
Overall it was a nice ride. I'd definitely recommend a weekday rather than a weekend.

Making the Case for Executive Education
Why companies continue to turn to business education, even in a time of cost-cutting.
With many companies experiencing steep losses in 2008 and feeling pressure to cut spending across the board, business schools are facing a different landscape for their custom and open enrollment education programs this year.
But surprisingly, many companies are staying loyal to the business schools they work with, even though they are looking for ways to cut costs or tailor programs to incorporate elements of surviving a turbulent economic climate....

Children are innately curious about words, especially phrases that make them laugh ("Ants in your pants!"), sound silly ("Barking up the wrong tree" or "Goosebumps") or trigger images that tickle a child's sense of the absurd ("Like a bull in a china shop"). Birds of a Feather introduces children to the magic of idioms - words that separately have one meaning, but together take on something entirely different.
Birds of a Feather introduces idioms with outlandish illustrations of what the words describe literally. The reader then has to guess the "real" meaning of the phrases (which is upside down in the corner of each spread). At the end of the book, the reader is invited to learn more about these figures of speech.
Find Birds of a Feather on Amazon
5 Stars
This is a wonderful book helping young children to understand idioms. The illustrations are comical but at the bottom of each picture is an explanation of what the phrase really means. Birds of a Feather would also be excellent for children or adults with developmental delays and ESL students. This should be on the shelf of every special education classroom!
I usually like to keep this section all free printables and ideas but I couldn't find even a free idiom coloring page! So, these items are not expensive, but not free.

This week's discounts, deals and freebies
Welcome to Freebie Friday, a weekly round up of the very best discounts, deals and freebies around. This week we have free tennis sessions and lessons, and big discounts on clothes, toiletries, flowers and hotel breaks.
It might be time to start thinking about Mothers' Day.... or just indulging yourself.
MarriottMarriott is offering 15% off UK and Europe weekend breaks - as long as you book by 18 March and travel between 22 March and 2 June this year. It might be a great Mothers' Day gift - or just a chance for a bit of self-indulgent escape.
Just enter the code from vouchercodespro.co.uk, 3CE, and you'll get deals in cities ranging from Dublin, Paris and Amsterdam to Swansea and Sunderland.
Debenhams FlowersThere's 14% off the Mothers' Day range at Debenhams Flowers with myvouchercodes.co.uk. Just enter the code MD14MVC at the checkout to get your reduction.
The range isn't massively cheap and starts at £24.99 - so you can get cheaper flowers delivered from the supermarket services. Alternatively, you can splash out for a £35 bouquet, save almost £5 and get a free gift set of posh smellies thrown in too.
BootsThis weekend if you spend £70 on the Boots Website, you can get £10 off, with the code MUM2013 from myvouchercodes.co.uk.
Clearly it's designed as an easy solution for those who can't think what their mum might need - for whom a gift set or some perfume could solve the dilemma. However, even if you have a 'card only' agreement with your mum, you can cash in and stock up on some essentials.
OasisYou can get an impressive 30% off full-price clothes at Oasis on Monday. You'll need to buy this week's Look magazine - which will set you back £1 - and inside there's a code which will get you 30% off your order. It's worth bearing in mind that delivery will cost £3.49. However, as long as you were planning to spend £15 or more, it'll start to save you money.
TennisThere's something for nothing on offer at the UK's tennis courts and clubs. Tennisforfree.com lists the public park courts that enable you to play for free. There are more than 2,500 of them across the country, so there should be one reasonably handy.
In addition, they throw in free tennis coaching sessions at some of them. At the moment there are only 14 programmes in operation, so you'll need to check if there's anything on near you. However, if there's a free scheme nearby you can register online and join in for nothing - they'll even provide the raquets and balls.

Friday Night Lights Season Three SpoilersMatt Richenthal at . Comments
NBC and DirecTV hosted a luncheon with the cast of TV's best drama, Friday Night Lights, in which executive producer Jason Katims huddled up with a few journalists - such as Entertainment Weekly star Michael Ausiello - and basically outlined plans for the entire third season.
Warning: Major Friday Night Lights spoilers below!
If you're having a tough time coping with the impending loss of Gaius Charles' Smash and Scott Porter's Jason, wait until next year:
Tim (Taylor Kitsch), Matt (Zach Gilford), Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) and Lyla (Minka Kelly) are all entering their senior years this season.
The knowledge that this may be their final year in Dillon will "add an urgency to [their] stories, but also a nostalgia." "It will be sad to leave," says Adrianne Palicki, "but I think we were all kind of prepared for that on some level."
When the new season starts, eight months will have passed since the Season 2 finale, placing the action at the start of a new school year. Among the major developments: Tim and Lyla are now in a serious relationship.
"We think it'll be a tremendously fun storyline, which could ultimately become very moving," Katims says.
"It's one thing to have this passionate, secret relationship, but once they're in a real relationship, they see how different they are. They're completely an odd couple... Also, they're both seniors now, so it's really a question of, Where are they going now? Where are they headed? Lyla really tries to get Tim to be the best version of himself. (She wants him to) get into college, get a scholarship... But the question is whether these two are destined to have very different lives."
The hiatus has not been nearly as kind to another Dillon super-couple: Tyra and Landry. "Tyra in the past eight months has [realized] that, while she loves Landry, she kind of feels like he's not really The Guy," says Katims.
"So it becomes a story about, Are they going to be able to be friends? And will Landry be able to accept that?" Probably not when he meets the new Guy in her life, but more on that below.
Matt and Julie will try and put the past behind them and become friends.
As previously reported, Tami will be appointed the principal of Dillon High. "From the beginning, we wanted to find ways to get (Connie Britton) driving story as much as possible, and not just be the coach's wife," says Katims, adding that the new gig will lead to some serious tension at home. "Suddenly she (and Coach Taylor) may find (themselves) on opposite sides of some issues."
Katims concedes that it was not easy placing the calls to Charles and Porter informing them that their runs on the show were coming to an end.
"It was very hard to break the news to them," he admits. Smash and Jason, however, will be going out with "two of the most powerful storylines" this season. "We are not doing this in any unceremonious way. And, also, we want to very much leave the door open for both of them to come back to the show."
A handful of new characters will be introduced, including a freshman named J.D. McCoy. "He's a phenomenal quarterback," Katims explains.
"In the first arc of the season, there's a controversy over who will be the first-string quarterback for the Panthers." Additionally, an old friend of Billy Riggins' will make a play for Tyra. "He's a local rodeo star, so he's right in Tyra's wheelhouse. So Landry is not going to be (happy)."
Matt Czuchry (Chris) and Benny Ciaramello (Santiago) will not be back.
A renewed focus will be placed on the Landry/Matt friendship, a relationship Katims says got sidelined last season in the wake of the Landry/Tyra murder plot.
"With that intense, secret thing between Landry and Tyra, we lost a little bit of Landry as Matt's buddy/sidekick/friend, and we're going to have that back."

3rd International Conference on Nanotek and Expo.
Nanotechnology is being applied to cancer in two broad areas: the development of nanovectors, such as nanoparticles, which can be loaded with drugs or imaging agents and then targeted to tumours, and high-throughput nanosensor devices for detecting the biological signatures of cancer. Combined, such technologies could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment for patients with cancer.

DRAMA CLUB: Someone Like You Episode 5 Recap
Drama Debussie: Who knew a cookie would be the catalyst for so many things? Who knew there was so much symbolism in one frosted cookie? I don't know about you guys, but cookies were the name of the game this week on Someone Like You, and I think I gained a few pounds because of it.
Watch episode 5:
Unnichan: Hehe. I'd say so. I want to know how our newest female has so much time on her hands to go about having us all gain virtual kilos. All I know is, that cookie has brought so much more meaning to everything, for everyone it seems.
Zombie: I just wanna know how she manages to make perfectly shaped cookies every single time! Mine never turn out the same, no matter how hard I try! Maybe it's because they're such a meaningful cookie. Mine are always baked just to be eaten, not change the lives of everyone who happens to come across them.
Drama Debussie: Right? What kind of power do these cookies have and how can I get some? I guess it's possible if these cookies were made by someone who's as perfect as Ya Ti seems. There's something a little off about her if I'm being honest. She seems to have the same qualities that Luo Han had which only leads me to believe that there's a potential romance in there somewhere with Zhan Cheng but we all know it won't lead anywhere substantial. Also, I'm starting to find it odd that while Zhan Cheng is continuously tortured by the memories of Luo Han, he ends up surrounding himself with women that somehow resemble her in some way. Doesn't seem like a healthy system.
Zombie: I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who found her a bit… Off? Off-putting? Odd? All of the above?
Unnichan: It wasn't so much that she was odd, for me, because we knew that she would feel a connection to Zhan Cheng but more that she seemed so lethargic as a person. She's pleasant but in a fog and it didn't seem to be only because this handsome stranger appeared. I'm sure we can infer that she's been sick in the past, and that would explain her pensiveness but everything else just didn't balance. And then, with Auntie telling her not to "like anyone too much?" Almost like there was more to that than just basic foreshadowing.
Zombie: There's definitely something about Ya Ti that just doesn't sit well with me. There's always the possibility that it's because she's just too darn sweet for my taste. She has that air of goody-goody-ness that always drives me bonkers. I really can't stand women like her. They're always too sweet. Too good. Too blah. There's nothing interesting there and I don't like it. I'm also cringing at the very cliched "organ recipient inherits organ donor's traits" thing we've got going on here. I'm sorry but just because Ya Ti may have one of Luo Han's organs doesn't mean she automatically knows everything Luo Han knew and can do everything Luo Han could do. It's an organ people, not a person's consciousness!
Drama Debussie: What? Organs don't come equipped with the donor's consciousness? This is news to me! Call it what it is, goody-goody-ness is boring… and suspicious. I don't know, I don't trust her. I did find comfort in the fact that even while she was shooting dreamy eyes at Zhang Cheng all day, the burgeoning romance between Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi was still very much there, even if they don't realize it yet. I mean, piggyback rides are always serious business in these parts. Granted, it required instructions, but I'll take it any way I can get it and it was still very sweet. I loved our little Ikea Piggyback Ride. Required some assembly, but a solid addition to our drama space.
Unnichan: Piggyback rides are the bees knees of romance; no upstanding couple can survive without one. I like how with every new development, we see a deeper gentleness to Zhan Cheng and his willingness to do anything for those he cares about. He's always quick to act, with little concern for himself and though that is dangerous, it's extremely endearing.
Drama Debussie: *cough*Blind Mr. Darcy*cough*
Unnichan: I also see that the appearance of Ya Ti had a slight affect on Yu Xi, and even if it didn't make her reevaluate her growing feelings, it definitely gave her a little nudge. My only concern is now that Zhan Cheng knows that Yu Xi and Luo Han are (were) sisters, he doesn't try to find a way to box her in as a little sister of his own.
Zombie: I think I'd be more concerned with him trying to push Yu Xi away because he feels pursuing Luo Han's sister is somehow wrong. I suppose in most cases it wouldn't really be the best thing to do but in this case I can't see how it would really be a problem. It's not like Luo Han ever knew she had a sister and Yu Xi is completely clueless so there's nothing really there for Zhan Cheng to have to worry about. However, the possibility of him pushing Yu Xi aside to pursue someone who has Luo Han's heart is very real (especially since they both experiences those little twinge-y moments) as is the possibility you mentioned. Little sister-izing Yu Xi would be such a shame but it's a possibility we can't rule out. At least in all of this madness there's one person we can count on to never fall into the category of love-interest… Vanessa. I don't know why but having a woman who's in no way in danger of stealing Zhan Cheng's heart is almost refreshing. Almost.
Drama Debussie: The upside is that even if Zhan Cheng tried to sister-ize Yu Xi it wouldn't last long. Their cheeks touched while he was giving her a piggyback ride and you would have thought it was the biggest thing ever. Their CHEEKS touched, not their lips. CHEEKS! Also, don't even me started with Vanessa. The thirst is real, folks.
Unnichan: Don't get me started on the cheeks. I couldn't help but giggle. However, I findsolace in the fact she didn't fall off his back and into the river from the startle. And Vanessa. Oh Vanessa. I am often boggled by the crazy eyed females that announce they love someone but exemplify none of the character traits capable of such an act. We can tell that she feels a type of pity for Zhan Cheng and she believes she has a crush on him, but how is it impossible for her to see that her continued pursuit reveals her to be nothing but a spoiled dilettante.
Zombie: I think the answer to your question lies in the fact that she is a spoiled dilettante. To be able to see herself as she truly is would be asking far more from her than she's able. She's obviously never really cared for anyone other than herself which is probably one of the many reasons why Zhan Cheng has never had any feelings for her. How can you love someone who only truly loves one's self?
Drama Debussie: I need more information on Vanessa. I think she's capable of being more than just the bitter, selfish female protagonist and I'm really hoping this show will ensure that she is. If anything she needs to get Baby out her life seeing that he's the main one who wants to destroy Zhan Cheng more than anyone else. Yes, I'm refusing to call him anything other than Baby for the simple fact that I refuse to dedicate his real name to memory.
Unnichan: And I refuse to refer to him as anything other than Bo Yan because he doesn't deserve endearments. I can see that he wants to take Zhan Cheng down and in his mind it's all about business but when will all that change? 'Cause we know it will and when it does, I have the niggling feeling it will still have more to do with Vanessa than his girlfriend. At that point, we may not really care, being we can't stand the man, but it's the principle. I also agree that there could be more to Vanessa, that we tapped into on our first encounter, with that elevator scene, but she continues to throw cold water on that vulnerability for me.
Zombie: I'd really like to know why Bo Yan is so dead-set against Zhan Cheng. It doesn't really make sense to me, seeing as how they're not on equal in the business world. Does this all stem from Bo Yan's desire to be in Zhan Cheng's position or is there more to this? Maybe he was offered a better position if he's the one to bring down the competition? I mean he was Vanessa's mom's assistant first, maybe she promised him something wonderful if he could take out Zhan Cheng…
Drama Debussie: I'm guessing all of that will be revealed somewhere down the line which will be a maddening wait. I guess this is another situation where we must let the answer come to us. I'm just gearing up for the moment Yu Xi gets wise and dumps him. Not only because he deserves it, but also so that she no longer has an excuse for why she can't consider Zhan Cheng romantically. Can I just say that I loved the way Zhan Cheng's mom and uncle are already pushing for something to happen between them? I'll sleep peacefully tonight knowing that they're Team Zhan Cheng/Yu Xi.
Unnichan: I didn't know there were teams already…'Cause there's only one team in my mind.
Drama Debussie: Where there's this many women interested in one man, teams are a given, UC. I'm just putting in my bid.
Unnichan: The parents weirded me out a bit, though. I'm concerned about why they think Yu XI's an option. Is it because every woman with Luo Han's face must fall for Zhan Cheng or because she seems to genuinely care for him? I can say that regardless, they are an adorably happy couple. Which brings me over to Mom who wasn't nearly as happy this episode. All I will say is that I was disappointed that Mom felt her own insecurities were more important than being honest with her daughter. I can understand never wanting her children to leave her or find out (on their own) they were adopted but given how everything unfolded and Yu Xi's reaction to the possibility earlier, telling her story then ideal time and opportunity. Yet she squandered it with lies and would rather continue her lie than give daughter a chance to know she had sister.
Zombie: I could understand Mom's desire to keep this a secret when her children were younger but there comes a point when you know your kids are old enough to handle the truth. With both Yu Xi and her brother grown adults now, it's way past the time to spill the beans. I mean at this point, there shouldn't be any fear about having your children taken away because they're all old enough to be living on their own and after spending their entire life with you, they're not going to up and turn their backs on you just because a birth mom shows up. I suppose they could but Yu Xi isn't the type of person who would do that. She's already made it abundantly clear that she loves her mother more than anyone else in the world. Mom has nothing to fear.
Drama Debussie: I have to agree. When kids are younger there are some things they shouldn't have to consider, but when you wait until they're more than old enough to know an important truth about themselves, you've then transitioned to protecting yourself more than your child. I feel for mom but I can't support the secrecy. If fate hadn't taken over (as it usually does in this world) Yu Xi would still be in the dark. Not cool.
Unnichan: Ok so, now that Yu Xi has graduated from being the laziest nurse to the most eagerly attentive, I'm happy. She's staying up all night waiting for his knock and buying buzzers. But what do you think set this beeper off? I can't say I'm complaining but no one wants to walk in on someone else showering--- uninvited.
Zombie: I suppose that's the mystery that's going to bring us back next week… Uh… yeah... The mystery is the draw…

How Far Can Substitution Take You?
Lesson 15 of 20
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate their substitution skills while understanding the limits of substitution as a method for solving linear systems.
Big Idea: We'll practice the use of substitution while learning that attention to detail is paramount. Then students will see a problem that's just not so easy to solve by substitution...
Today's lesson opens with the second Mastery Quiz on SLT 5.3:
I can use algebraic substitution to solve a system of equations.
The first such quiz was two days ago, at the end of class. Since then, there's been some practice time, and I tell the class that I expect to see improvement from everyone. There are two versions of the quiz available to students, and they can choose the one they'll take.
Both versions of the quiz consist of six linear systems to be solved. The first has two problems each at Levels 1 through 3; the other has three each at Levels 3 and 4. By now, students are pretty familiar with the "levels," and that helps frame our conversations about the topic. Just to review:
- Level 1: Two equations in which y is isolated, so students just have to set the two sides equal and solve.
- Level 2: Either x or y is isolated in one equation, but not the other, so students must make a substitution step before solving.
- Level 3: Two equations in standard form. At least one variable in one equation has a coefficient of 1, so it takes one step to isolate a variable. From there, it becomes a "Level 2" problem.
- Level 4: Two equations in standard form. No variables have a coefficient equal to 1. (At the end of today's class, we'll start to look a little closer at another method for solving such systems.)
I give students about 20 minutes to complete this quiz. Some kids need less than that, and others need a little more. As students finish, I return their Mastery Problems from yesterday.
I've noticed that for most of the kids who struggle with this quiz, the challenge lies as much with solving linear equations as solving systems. Students understand why algebraic substitution is such an important idea (and that's a big deal), but the algebraic maneuvers might still slow them down. That's why linear systems are such a useful topic to teach, and that's why it's imperative to be willing to differentiate and meet kids where they are.
When I look at work, I'll look to see which students understand substitution, but need practice on the algebra skills (like inverse operations, use of the distributive property, and combining like terms), and which kids just don't quite get substitution yet. I'll regroup students and try to fill in the gaps accordingly during upcoming lessons.

Mastery Problems Debrief
When everyone is done with the quiz, we spend a little time debriefing on yesterday's Two Mastery Problems.
Problem 1: Number Riddle
The first problem is on the second slide of today's lesson notes. It is followed by three examples of student work on slides 3 through 5. I project the first example (slide 3) on the board and ask if anyone can find the error. This student wrote the equations correctly, but then mis-transcribed a positive sign during his substitution step. We repeat the drill for the next example (slide 4), where the student set up an equation to find the difference between the two numbers rather than their sum. The third example is correct (slide 5), and I tell the class how much I admire the visual representation of substitution I can see here, which also gives me the opportunity to to reiterate what an important idea it is, that we're able to make such a move.
It's also interesting to note the brevity of that correct example solution. It takes up less space than the other two, and at a glance, might not be as "nice-looking". Kids appreciate this observation, which helps them develop the understanding that "showing your work" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as "writing a lot".
Problem 2: Two Candles
The work that students submitted for the candle problem was much more inconsistent than their work on the first problem. That doesn't surprise me, because it had been a few days since we've tried a problem like this, and it might have felt a little out of left-field to some kids. I also think that I should have provided a little more time to work on this problem, and that's what I did for any students who finished early on today's Mastery Quiz.
Some students tried to graph the problem, others to write equations and solve by substitution. For some, the necessary conversion from burning down "one centimeter every 20 minutes" to "3 cm per hour" was a sticking point.
Because kids are all over the place on this one, I don't spend too much time on it today. If we have time, we might write equations and sketch a graph. Just to develop understanding, I'll ask, "Which question does substitution answer: where they meet or which candle burns out first?" I want to make sure that kids are getting that concept. (From there, a neat extension question is: what would substitution say if they were never the same height?)
Otherwise, I'll save this problem for later: when we get to our review sessions next week, this will be a great place to start. We review the "Really Big Ideas" on the eighth slide, and that helps to frame the last problem we'll look at today.
Resources (6)
With the distinction between solving systems by graphing versus by substitution laid out, it's time to introduce a third method for solving systems! I called this lesson "How Far Can Substitution Take You?" for two reasons. First, the mastery problems from the end of yesterday's class and the quiz at the start this lesson should provide evidence of how far students have come with using substitution. Second, there's a limit to the usefulness of this tool, and that's what we'll see right now.
On the ninth slide of today's lesson notes a new problem called "Pie Day!" I change the names for each class to feature two of my students, which adds to the fun. This problem makes it clear to students that there must be an alternative to graphing or substitution, both of which are pretty clunky methods here. Something like elimination (solving by addition) is going to have to exist!
This is just an introduction. After students spend a few minutes on this problem, I ask the key question that goes to take us toward elimination: "What's the difference between what each student buys?" Please take a look at my narrative video to hear a little more about this problem.

University of Montana Western faculty, staff and students joined donors and community members Friday to dedicate the recently completed Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation Model Classroom for Education, and the Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan Amphitheater in Legacy Plaza.
The university also marked the completion of Legacy Plaza and final stage of the Main Hall complex restoration.
Mike Halligan, Washington Foundation executive director; Tom Welch, Pioneer Federal president and CEO; Beth Weatherby, Montana Western chancellor; and Susan Briggs, vice chancellor; cut a ceremonial ribbon to open both venues.
"The new spaces have truly transformed the campus, enhancing Main Hall, tying our buildings together and creating a place for all sorts of exciting new things to take place," Weatherby said.
The model classroom was made possible by a gift from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation. The foundation's generosity not only created a state-of-the-art classroom lab for education students, but also restored the university's historic library.
Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan, a longtime supporter of the university, funded the amphitheater project which has become the major architectural feature in Legacy Plaza providing a multi-use space for outdoor lectures, classes, performances, events and informal gatherings.
"These projects have been a labor of love for so many people the past 10 years," Vice Chancellor Susan Briggs said. "We have created a beautiful space that people can enjoy for generations to come."
In 2013, the Montana Legislature appropriated $4 million toward the final phase of Main Hall renovations. As a part of obtaining the funding, Montana Western was required to raise $500,000 in matching funds.
Legacy Plaza was created as a concept to allow donors and the community to assist in raising the funding. As a result the university was the first in the Montana University System to meet the goal.

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is in Missouri hoping to help a man with a similar background score a similar victory.
Johnson was attending a fundraiser and campaign event Wednesday for John Brunner, one of three prominent Republicans seeking to challenge Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill in November.
A Brunner spokesman said the campaign hopes to raise $50,000 from the fundraiser in suburban St. Louis.
Both Johnson and Brunner ran manufacturing businesses and have poured millions of their own wealth into their own campaigns. And like Johnson in 2010, Brunner is making his first run for office by highlighting his private-sector experience.
Others in Missouri's GOP primary race include Congressman Todd Akin and former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman.

Steve Coco explains it clearly in his email on 8 June 2007 to the tapestry users mailing list how to build the T5 quickstart archetype with Maven 2.0.6. I just thought it would be useful for others too:
I used the Tapestry archetype to create the basic project -- the exact command that's outlined here:
And then I changed the tapestry-release-version to 5.0.5-SNAPSHOT, AND I ADDED THE MAIN Maven snapshot repository to the list of repositories. That one is here:
<repository> <id>org.apache.snapshot-repository</id> <name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name> <url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url> </repository>
I seemed to see some artifacts move back and forth to different repositories, and adding this repository wound up allowing the build to complete. (Maven will clearly indicate if an artifact is missing.)
That's about it: it all works fine for me here with only this indicated setup.
You might try it without adding the above repository: it should be obvious if the build just indicates a missing artifact. Then add this and see what you get.
One other note is that at one point during several attempted builds, I found that my local repository had an entry for one of the T5 artifacts (I forget specifically which), but the folder actually only contained the XML files and no jars. I deleted the artifact folders from my local repository and re-built the project and they got downloaded intact. So if you create the archetype POM and then also add that repository, but still have problems, you might try removing all T5 artifacts from your local repository and re-building to see if this problem happened to you also.
I never did get to diagnose this issue further: it might have been due to an aborted build, or maybe I was building right at the instant the artifact was being added to the remote repository; and I suppose it also could have been because the actual source artifact in the remote repository was corrupt, but things are building and running without issue here now so I'm just forgetting about that.
As a side note: Removing a whole artifact should not cause any problems since Maven just finds that it's not there and then just downloads it.
But there's a Maven command-line switch intended to force an update of snapshots: running with "-U" will force a check for updated snapshots. You can add the -U to most commands, to force Maven to look for updates. Otherwise the default it to check once per day. You can see more by running "mvn --help".
You can also configure when Maven checks for updates in your settings descriptor or right in the project POM.xml. See "updatePolicy" in the documentation on the settings or POM descriptor:

There is a wealth of different sectors that depend on crate hire services to get their products to consumers. From food distribution to removals and storage, manufacturing to pharmaceuticals, and even automotive, local government and logistics the importance of crate hire services to a wealth of different industries cannot be understated.
Today, there are a number of different businesses up and down the UK that offer crate hire services. Indeed, from renting packing containers like bread and bakery trays to foldable containers intended for space saving, businesses depend on crate hire services for their business.
Buying crates can be a costly exercise in the long run. With the wealth of hiring crate hire services available, its little surprise that businesses are choosing to rent as opposed to buy crates for their business. Renting crates allows businesses to keep a firmer grip on their financial outlay. Indeed, sound business acumen dictates that spreading the rental cost of hiring crates over a prolonged period makes more sense that shelling out significant fixed expenditure all at once.
One of the primary benefits of choosing to hire crates is that the products that you can hire offer flexible solutions. They can be built with wheels for easy transportation, as well as other additional handling equipment that facilitates the ease of transportation.
Plastic crates have grown to be favoured more than their wooden counterparts. Used for the transportation of a wealth of different goods from milk bottles to produce plastic crates are designed for secure stacking and to be reused. Bottle crates are square or rectangular in shape, have interlocking features, are highly durable and easy to keep clean. They are primarily used for transporting dairy products and other beverages to retail establishments.
Wooden crates, on the other hand, are perfect for a wealth of different products – especially the transportation of potentially corrosive materials. When choosing a crate it's imperative to consider the weight of the load and any storage solutions that may be applicable.
There is a choice of paper pallets, which are typically used for both lighter and heavier loads. These pallets can be engineered to carry increasingly heavier loads, if necessary. The additional benefit of paper pallets is that they can be easily disposed of, or recycled.
The importance of choosing the right crate or pallet cannot be understated. The right crate or pallet will allow you to easily store or transport goods in different environments.

We'll embark on a discovery journey to admire the second largest glacier in South America: the Upsala Glacier, as well as other Patagonian ice giants that are only accessible by boat. The glaciers' magnitude is imposing, and their color is remarkable too: raging from white to dark blue. We'll get comfortable in our seats in the exclusive VIP cabin on the upper floor of our ship, where we'll experience better panoramic views with superior comfort and service.
On our way to the Upsala Glacier, we'll enjoy great photo opportunities while we see icebergs of incredible and diverse shapes and sizes. In 2009 huge portions of ice broke loose from the Upsala Glacier, creating "floating isles" with the length of up to a little less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers)!
We'll also see the Spegazzini Glacier, an exception (along with the Perito Moreno Glacier) to the general worldwide retreat of glaciers due to global warming. While the Upsala Glacier has experienced a significant retreat and thinning in the last 40 years, losing 21.6 square miles (56 square kilometers) of ice, the Spegazzini Glacier, in the same timespan, only lost 0.027 square miles (0.07 square kilometers) of ice. With its highest point standing at 442 feet (135 meters), the Spegazzini Glacier is also the tallest glacier in the Glaciers National Park.
Our tour begins in the morning with a transfer from your hotel and a 1 hour ride to Bandera Port. We'll settle in to our VIP cabin and begin our navigation to the northern arm of Lake Argentino, where we'll enjoy views of the snow-capped mountains surrounding the lake.
As we reach the Upsala Channel, we'll start to see icebergs of different shapes and sizes, which will be the prelude to the first view of the magnificent Upsala Glacier. As we get closer, we'll be able to appreciate the glacier's immense magnitude and crystalline beauty.
We'll then navigate to the Spegazzini Channel, where we'll get a view of the Spegazzini Glacier (the tallest glacier in the Glaciers National Park), which will captivate us with its dramatic landscape of towering walls as well as the various shapes and colors of its icebergs. We'll also get to see the Seco Glacier, which in English means "Dry Glacier". You will notice the exposed rock and dense forests where ice once covered the land, as evidence of the Seco glacier's retreat throughout the decades.
The tour ends with a navigation back to Puerto Bandera and a transfer back to the hotel, having learned and witnessed first-hand how mighty nature can be, and at the same time how susceptible it is to the world's changing climate.
If you are looking for great photo opportunities of glaciers and icebergs, this is definitely the best glaciers navigation tour for you.
Important: When very large icebergs are present on the navigation route, for safety reasons the close-up access to the Upsala Glacier is not possible, so we will be able to enjoy a more distant but also nice view. The tour's exact itinerary and duration may change subject to weather conditions.
Difficulty: none.
Duration: full day (the navigation lasts approximately 5 hours and you will have around 1 hour on each transfer to and from the port).
Guide: self-guided. English assistance on boat.
Vehicle: Group vehicle.
Includes: Entrance tickets to Glaciers National Park and tickets for seats in the VIP cabin. The VIP section is located above the standard section and has a privileged view, more ample and comfortable seats and exclusive assistance for VIP guests.
Its capacity is an average of 20 guests depending on the boat used (while the boat's total capacity varies between 160 and 250 travelers depending on the boat used). The VIP service includes complimentary food service including breakfast, lunch and a snack bar. Beverages included: water, soft drinks, wine and beer.

What s the difference between associating your patriotism with your god and deciding policy based on your religion. This is America, freedom of religion and such.
It is a little scary when people say things like "America is the best country in the world because we welcome everyone that noone else wants. We accept all kinds, one big melting pot.

Nokia Oyj shares tumbled the most in almost three months after the introduction of two Lumia smartphones with Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Phone software failed to impress investors.
The stock fell 13 percent to 1.99 euros in Helsinki, the biggest one-day decline since June 14. The stock had rallied 96 percent from an 18-year low on July 18 through Aug. 27 in anticipation of the new phones.
Nokia is counting on its partnership with Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft to help boost sales and return the company to profitability after falling behind rivals. The Espoo, Finland-based company has identified the U.S. as a market where it has to win back users and gain momentum in its global comeback bid. The question is whether the new phones break enough ground, said Geoff Blaber, an analyst at CCS Insight.
"The challenge Nokia will face is that consumers will struggle to see how the hardware has really stepped forward from the previous generation of products," the London-based Blaber said in an interview.
Nokia Chief Executive Officer Stephen Elop, who unveiled the new phones at a news conference in New York, also didn't provide details on price, carriers or availability, beyond saying they will go on sale in the fourth quarter. The Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch (11-cm) screen and an 8.7-megapixel camera with a so-called floating lens that uses software for image stabilization. The Lumia 820, whose screen measures 4.3 inches, has an 8-megapixel camera without the optics software.
'Important Step'
"Today is a very important step, and there are more important steps ahead," Elop said in an interview. "There's no single turning point. We need to succeed with this and take it to the next step."
The announcement of the Lumia models gives Nokia a brief head start before two top rivals present their own newest handsets. Motorola Mobility, a unit of Google Inc., is planning to unveil one of the first full-screen phones in the U.S. later today in New York, according to a person familiar with the plan. Apple Inc., maker of the iPhone, is planning its own introduction on Sept. 12.
"The U.S. is very important," Elop said. "These trends we've seen in our industry have been starting here and moving east."

Contrary to what some may believe, there are still roll-your-own filling stations in Las Vegas.
But you have to be a member to use them.
Smokey D's Tobacco Co. at 9620 Las Vegas Blvd. South is an RYO Filling Station that looks much like the filling station of last year, with one major exception: It's now a club.
To use the cigarette rolling machines there, members have to pay the $20 annual dues. The social club is operated separately from the store that acts as its headquarters.
At the store, customers can buy loose tobacco and paper tubes. At the club, members can make a carton of cigarettes with their supplies in about 10 minutes with the machines.
At $22 each, RYO cartons are cheaper than big-name cartons that can run upward of $50.
A year ago, the roll-your-own filling stations were almost wiped out with the stroke of a pen.
An amendment in the federal transportation bill signed in July 2012 by President Barack Obama put operators of roll-your-own cigarette machines in Las Vegas and nationwide out of business.
Under the new law, the definition of a cigarette manufacturer was changed to include thousands of roll-your-own operations nationwide, which resulted in regulatory costs of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"It really hurt us. We almost went out of business," said Smokey D's owner Diann Dunham.
All Smokey D's RYO machines were shut down, and sales were limited to other smoking products, such as water pipes and novelty gifts.
In October 2012, Dunham started her smoking club.
Other outlets in Las Vegas also are operating under the revised model, although the owners declined to speak for this story.
RYO stations in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and other states also have changed to the club format, which allows operators to exist without paying the cigarette manufacturer fees because they're operating separately from their retail outfits.
With about 200 members, Dunham said starting the club at Smokey D's has been beneficial, but she still has lost 40 percent of her RYO product sales.
Since she changed the format, Smokey D's has been visited by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
"It's in compliance with the law," Dunham said.
The law allows the machines for private use, and by paying club dues, members can use Dunham's machines. She also offers members-only specials and hosts once-a-month drawings to round out the club experience.
Still, the RYO business is struggling.
"A lot of these stores had to close down and never reopened. … They couldn't afford to (wait)," Dunham said.
Another twist is the individual cigarette rolling machines that can roll one, two or three smokes at a time. They're usually used at home.
Mack Patel owns East West Trading Group, a company that sells the personal machines to smoke shops around the United States. He said that in the past year, his sales have been up at least 50 percent.
"They can save lots of money with this, and they just take it home with them," Patel said.

Purge your Unsent Tweets for Light Night at FACT
12 May 2015
Ever wanted to say something on Twitter and decided against it at the last minute? For Light Night this Friday, artist Erica Scourti wants you to join her in a communal purge of our draft tweets.
Erica Scourti, one of the exhibiting artists from Group Therapy, worked together with our Young People's group Freehand to produce Past Sharing - a project which presents how online social platforms play a crucial role in the mental wellbeing of young people, using Instagram.
For Light Night, Erica invites audiences to participate in a mass sharing of information for That Moment When - to purge our social media identities of everything we've ever wanted to say, but couldn't. Using the hashtag #tmwFACT visitors to FACT, and people all over the world will be given the green light to share their previously unspoken thoughts as part of an interactive art performance.
The tweets will be projected live over Ropewalks Square from 10.30pm, with the artist adding her own personal thoughts to the live feed as she reads out some of the now-public messages. The project is all about deciphering the boundaries between public and private, asking us to consider the way we present ourselves online, and whether we are always being entirely honest about the persona we create.
Get involved on the night by purging your drafts folder - and delete afterwards to complete the cleanse. #tmwFACT The live feed will be projected onto Ropewalks Square 10pm - 12am.
Following Light Night, Erica Scourti will be running a free drop-in workshop on Saturday 16 May to help visitors explore what their mental health looks like using iPads and other creative tools.

Fat transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection, plumps up facial features with a patient's own fat, and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments.Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural non-allergenic procedure, designed to recontour your face, and can provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformitites. Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, you can never have an allergic reaction, because it's from your own body.
With fat transfer, it is possible to have fat liposuctioned from your thighs, for example, and then transferred to any area of your body. Reinjected fat lasts longer in larger areas of non-movement, so it is very successful for the correction of sunken cheeks, because this area does not move as often. Fat transfer can also correct atrophic aging of the hands, and post-surgical and post-traumatic defects. But not every area of the body responds well to fat transfer. The breasts for instance, are not appropriate. Injecting fat into the breast makes it much more difficult to detect breast cancer with mammograms.
Reinjected fat lasts longer in larger areas of non-movement.
Fat transfer is performed on an outpatient basis. Both the area from which the fat is taken, and the treatment site, are anesthesized with a local anesthetic. Using a small needle attached to a syringes, fat is removed from a donor site, where the fat is most tightly packed, such as the abdomen or the buttocks.
Once removed, the fat is processed to remove excess fluids, and then reinjected using another needle, which is placed under the skin beneath the wrinkle. This process may be repeated until the desired correction has been achieved.
Harvesting the fat cells for reinjection is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tuck or cosmetic breast surgery. When fat is harvested during another procedure, it is often possible to obtain a larger amount of fat, then freeze and store that fat, for future usage when it becomes necessary.
Are there Risks?
Note:The specific risks and suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation with your cosmetic surgeon. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
Who Will Perform My Surgery?
Dr. Ali Tehrani takes pride in personally performing all surgical procedures. He does not allow "residents", "fellows", or other surgeons to perform your surgery. In the rare instance that a "co-surgeon" will be appropriate, this will be discussed with you during your pre-operative appointment.

Each summer, many students and young adults search for part-time employment. In fact, this year the youth labor force grew by more than 2 million. Annually, from April to July, enormous amounts of high school and college students look for summer jobs, and many graduates enter the labor market to look for long-term employment.
If you recently landed your first summer job, you need to know about best business practices of your employer. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) encourages individuals to watch for questionable employment tax practices.
"Failure to pay employment taxes is stealing from the employees of the business," said former IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. "The IRS pursues business owners who don't follow the law, and those who embrace these schemes face civil or criminal sanctions."
There a number of reasons why employers do not withhold or pay employment taxes all together. Some business owners see it an opportunity to "borrow" money from Uncle Sam with the intention of paying it back later. "For others, it may be a situation where an employer collects the taxes and elects to keep it during a period of financial difficulty rather than pay it to the IRS. For a small number, it involves philosophical differences with the tax law of the United States that courts consistently reject. Regardless of the reason, federal law requires employment tax withholding and payment by employers," according to a report by the Internal Revenue Service.
Employment taxes consist of several things: federal income tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare and unemployment taxes. Additionally, most states have withholding regulations for different types of employment related taxes, like contributions. The IRS warns that, "Improper reporting or payment of employment taxes affects the ease with which employees can claim future benefits from these programs."
If an employer fails to comply with tax laws, the IRS can take a number of different actions to combat non-compliance. Some of these actions are audits, filing tax liens against property owned by the taxpayer, criminal investigations, prosecution, criminal convictions, fines and jail time.
According to the IRS's website, "the IRS urges all businesses to resist the temptation to become involved in or victimized by unlawful activities." Below are some reasons why an employer may not comply with tax laws.
1. Pyramiding. This is when an employer withholds taxes from its employees, but intentionally does not send them to the IRS. "An often cause is a lack of profit or capital for operating costs, so the business owner uses the trust funds to pay other liabilities. The quarterly employment tax liabilities accumulate (or "pyramid") until the employer has little hope of catching up. Businesses involved in pyramiding frequently shut down or file for bankruptcy and then start a new business under a different name starting the cycle over."
2. Unreliable Third Party Payers. These include Payroll Service Providers and Professional Employer Organizations. These groups are in charge of filing employment tax returns and making employment tax payments. If such companies dissipate, millions in employment taxes are gone forever.
3. Unnecessary Arguments. According to the IRS, "Unscrupulous individuals and promoters have used a variety of false or misleading arguments for not paying employment taxes. These schemes are based on an incorrect interpretation of 'Section 861′ and other parts of the tax law and have been refuted in court."
4. Misclassifying Worker Status. It is common for businesses to act as if employees were independent contractors to avoid paying employment taxes. "Generally if the payer has the right to control what work will be done and how it will be done, the worker is an employee," says the IRS.
5. Paying Workers in Cash. Paying employees with cash, whether it is in full or not, is one way many employers evade taxes.
6. Filing False Payroll Tax Returns or Failing to File Any Returns. This method is a common way employers think they can get away with paying less than they owe in taxes.
If summer workers have reason to believe that their employer is doing any of these things, the IRS encourages employees to report them. Follow US Tax Shield on Twitter or Like our Facebook page for more tax news and tips.

Professional education doesn't get better than this
James M. Berklan
As a parent looking at options for a high school student about to enter college, I know why it seems like everyone talks about the high cost of education. Because it is high.
Inflation in the general world is nothing like that in higher education, where prices have far outstripped the cost of living for many years. As it's put by the author of "Crazy U.," which documents a man's re-education during his son's pursuit of college admission: Colleges are charging as much as they do because, well, they can.
Yet there might not be a bigger proponent of the saying, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance," than me. Education, where my parents toiled and my sister still works, is a cornerstone to success and achievement in my world.
I think it's a sentiment shared by many in long-term care. It seems there is always a healthy crowd of "students" lined up for our educational sessions.
That's what makes McKnight's 8th Online Expo such a good fit for providers. Once again at the end of March, we will bring you five national experts, delivering five one-hour sessions on diverse topics important to your job.
You don't have to leave your desk or office to soak up the knowledge, print out their slide decks, or earn the continuing education credits that accompany them.
The latest on MDS 3.0? You get it, and from no less a guru on these things than the effervescent Leah Klusch, executive director of the Alliance Training Center.
Technological advances for senior care, from an unbiased leader in academia? That would be the forte of Greg Alexander, he of the Sinclair School of Nursing at the University of Missouri.
There's no question you should have your medical director join you and other staffers for a great listen on many facets of geriatrics and wound care that will come in the final session (at 1 p.m. Eastern) on March 26. Jeffrey M. Levine, M.D., CMD, AGSF, is one of the foremost long-term care wound-care experts in the country and is ready to tell physicians, administrators, directors of nursing and others what they need to know about palliative care, chronic conditions and the world of unavoidable pressure ulcers in his presentation.
Next, realize that somebody needs funding for something at your place virtually all the time. I don't care how new or efficient you are. Charles W. Harry Jr., the director of research and analytics at the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and & Care Industry, will unlock market secrets and details about capital acquisition as no one else can.
And don't forget the frontliners, either. Jo Walters, RN-C, CDOPNA, CP, is the wellness director at a place called Blanchard House in Kenton, OH. She is going to tell attendees how to set up a "war room" for when surveyors set siege on your facility, including for follow-up surveys.
It's a battle out there and the 8th Annual McKnight's Online Expo speakers are ready to lead you into it.
The expo is a great source for education on your profession. There are also the clever vendor booths, contests and other resources posted in the online exhibition hall.
Unlike the colleges and universities near where you live, it's all free. That's right: F-R-E-E.
You just have to sign up and show up. Then, let the enrichment begin.
Some might wonder: Why bother with any of this? The answer is simple:
Because your job matters.
